DESPERATE TRAMPs. WINDSOR, Wis,
Nov. 6.-This evening four tramps enter
ed the district school house for the pur-
pose of staying all night, having come
from Sun Prairie; Dan Wilsey, constable,
with several others, repaired to the school
house to arrest them, warrant having
been sworn out by parties living near
Sun Prairie, whom they shot at late in
the afternoon. Arriving at the school
house, Mr. Wilsey and men found them
snugly ensconsed, boots pulled off, and to
all appearances asleep. The arrest was
made, Mr.. Wilsey taking in charge the
worst looking specimen. When the door
was reached he made desperate effort to
getting away, calling to Mr.. Wilsey to re-
lease him; but Mr.W held him fast, when
the rufian pulled revolver, and shot
Mr.. w. thro' the body. The wound is
pronounced by DIR. Plackett as very
serious one, but just how bad cannot be
learned at present writing. In the con-
fusion of the moment only one man was
secured, the other three making good
their escape, including the rascal who
shot Mr.. Wilsey. They took northwes-
terly direction, and all stations north,
south, east and west have been notified of
the terrible tragedy.

THE Ex-EMPREss EUGENIE.-
Paris Gaulois has sent special cores
pondent to Abergeldie to interview the
Empress Eugene. The Due de Bassano
obtained for him an audience on condi-
tion that he should say little about her
Majesty and report nothing of what she
said This contract is scrupulously full
filed. The privileged correspondent
gives pleasant description of the house
and grounds, the simple furniture, the
hours of breakfast and dinner, and the
time for drives, weather permitting; but
says nothing more of lthe Empress than
that she is monument of grief, and sees
nobody but Queen Victoria.

When Dan Rice, the famous ci1cus
clown, was with his show at Washington
Ind, last summer, he made the acquaint-
ance of Miss Mary Ackerton, young
girl of the place whose parents are re-
spectacle and well-to-do. The Vincen-
nes Sun charges that after his departure
Rice wrote to the girl and led her into
secret correspondence. On Tuesday last
he induced Miss Ackerman to elope with
him to Chicago, where, without such a
taifing thing as marriage, they put up
at hotel as man and wife. The girls
father traced herto Chicago and on Thurs
day returned with her toWashington. Rice
eluded arrest.

POOR MEXICO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-By parties
who profess to be on the inside of the
movement,i in this city,it is asserted that a
very large proportion of the population
of Mexico is dissatisfied with the govern
ment of Diaz; that this dissatisfaction
has taken the shape of an organized re-
volutionary government, which included
many of the most distinguished Mexican
soldiers and politicians, and that the out
break which will include several of the
most important Mexican States is immi-
nent. An agent of the government of
restoration of the republic of Mexico" of
which Gen. Angel Maria Corrills De
Abornoz is president is in this city en-
deavoring to negotiate for material aid to
further their schemes for the overthrow
of Diaz, president of Mexico. The agent
invites capitalists who are now consider
ing the scheme to supply the revolution
ary government with certain arms and
military supplies in return for which they
are to be granted the first authority to
organize the national bank of Mexico,
notes of which are to be legal tender for
all debts, public and private, and to be
receivable in payment for public lands at
the rate of dollar per acre. All the
public lands of Mexico to be set apart
for this purpose.
Second-Franchise for the railroads
and telegraphs throughout Mexico, and
subsidies on bonds and national bank
notes sufficient for construction.
Third-The abolition of all duties on
importation of goods from the United
States into Mexico by land. Rights of
immigrants are guaranteed. Taxation
and service in the Mexican army for
stated period is to be remitted and reli-
gious liberation assured. There seems to
be no doubt that very ambitious men in
Mexico are concerned m the movement
and some of the heaviest capitalists of
the Pacific coast are reported to be exam
lining it, with view to engaging in the en-
terprise if it promises success. By private
letter from a gentleman in Boston it is
learned that soAne scheme has been sub
mitted to the capitalists who own the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe r. r.
These gentlemen have already sent an
agent to Mexico to endeavor to obtain
from Diaz some franchises, so far as their
company is concerned and failing in that
it is said, promised to give to the scheme
their earnest attention.

CHANDLER'S FUNERAL.
The funeral services of the late Senator
Chandler. at Detroit. last We'd

The funeral services of the late Senator
Zachariah Chandler, at Detroit, last We'd
nesday, were imposing in the extreme.
The body lay in state at the City Hall
from s until 10 oclocK, and was viewed
by nearly 10000 people. The casket
was of black walnut, lined throughout
with white satin, covered with velvet,
with silver handles, and plate inscribed !;
'Zachariah Chandler, born December TO-,
1913, died November l, 1872 At l
o'clock the body was returned to the
house, and the casket laid upon the cata-
falque in the east drawing room. The
apartment was almost smothered in flow
ers; baskets and bouquets, columns and
crosses, wreaths and shields, were abun-
dant-the floral column from the Sheriff s
office at Chicago, and the Chicago Auxil-
iery Clubs shield being prominent feat
ures of the offerings. At the head was
laid pillow of white roses, with "Faith-
ful to the End'' inscribed with blue i'm
mortalles. Another was similarly in
scribed, Crest" Rev. DR.. Pearson, of
the First Presbyterian Church conducted
the funeral services, at the close of which
the casket was borne to the hearse, pre-
ceded by twent-five pall-bearers. The pro-
cession then formed and proceed to Ell
wood Cemetery. From the Chandler
mansion almost to the gates of the ceme-
terry itself, a long route, men were posi-
lively packed, and in some places so
densely that the progress of the cortege
was difficult and slow. All along the the
route, especially ON the business streets,
buildings were profusely draped in black.
AS the cortege reached the cemetery gate,
the military opened ranks and presented
arms as the procession went in. At the
grave the service was very short. DIR.
Pearson read selections from the Bible,
closing with a recitation of the Lords
prayer. The Senators present and some
other cast sprigs Of evergreen into the
grave, and the great concourse dispersed
with deeply sorrowing hearts.
