Riddle, Of this city, has been arrested on
suspicion Of having poisoned his wife.
Mrs. Riddle died on the 22d Of May, 1878,
under somewhat peculiar circumstances,
and at various times since then, notably
during the Cobb. Bishop excitement, dam
aging rumors have been circulated regard
ing Mr.. Riddle'sconnection with the event.
Nothing was done by the authorities until
to-day, when formal complaint was mad g
against Riddle by H. L. Williams, a for.
mer employee. It seems that Riddle and
Williams had some trouble and the latter
now threatens to make important revela-.
tons.
Riddle has been engaged in business in
this city for some years as twine manu-.
facturer. He has recently removed all
the machinery from his factory TO New
York, disposed Of his other effects here
and completed preparations for beginning
business in New York. Quite recently he
war married TO an employe in his factory
named Nell Driscoll, the marriage having
been performed in New York. He was
on his way 10 that city this evening, when
arrested at New London, and broug ght back
here. He is now in the hands OF the

WASHINGTON, October l. = Secretary
Sherman expressed himself to-day as very
much gratifed at the public debt state
ment for September, which shows re-
duction in debt Of over two and one.half
millions Of dollars. This was accomplish
ed, notwithstanding the extraordinary
payment Of five million dollars OF arrears
Of pensions. But for this the debt would
have been reduced eight millions of dol.
lars. This month will see the last Of ar.
rears appropriated by Congress paid, after
which Secretary Sherman thinks the debt
will be reduced with great rapidity, un.
less extraordinary additional burdens are
imposed by Congress. 90
"Do you not think, Mr.. Secretary"
asked your correspondent, "that the
splendid showing OF the finances, under
Republican administration, will have q
good effect in Ohio at the coming cleo
tion2"
~ do; ours has been clean administra-
ton Of the finances no jobs or defalca-
tons. The four per cent loan Is now
closed out; all our depository banks, dis
bursting officers, &c., have settled their ac-
counts, and the whole vast funding scheme
has been carried through without the loss
OF q single dollar. In such vast transac-
ton, involving the loss of hundreds OF dol.
lars, and passing through thousands Of
hands, believed we would have some
trouble, and might suffer some loss, but
every dollar is accounted for"
"The entire funding scheme, you think,
has been accomplished without at any
time embarrassing the money market?"
"Yes," replied the Secretary. ''I've been
careful that our operations should not cause
stringency in the money market. You re-
member some papers accused me Of par
tiality to New York banks. There was no
favoritism TO these banks. My orders
were solely with a view to preventing
stringency in the money market, which
might cause great embarrassment to bust
ness men, and perhaps embarrass our re.
funding and resumption operations. We
have carried throug b the greatest refund.
ing operation ever undertaken, and have
done It so carefully as to prevent embar-
rassment in the money market"
Mr.. Secretary, do you look for large
reduction OF the public debt next year?"
u do, II Congress will cooperate with
usin that direction. OF course, the whole
matter lies with Congress. II they are
economical and careful at the coming ses-
sion the debt could be reduced as much as
$50, 100000 next year. Business Is i'm
proving, revenues increasing, and we will
hereafter save over Sl4, ,000, 900 annually in
interest, which could be applied in reduc-
ing the debt"
When 1t was generally known to-day
that the debt statement for the month
would show a reduction OF two and a half
millions, many Of Secretary sherman's
friends congratulated him on the splendid
financial management and good luck OF
the present administration,

PoTrsvrLLE, October. 1.-The puddlers
employed at the rolling mills OF ]. E. Fish
back and Atkins, this place, went on 4
strike this morning for higher wages. They
claim that they are not getting the wages
that other mills are paying, which Is the
cause OF their striking. The demand is for
an increase Of 50 cents per ton. The pud-
dlers gave the proprietors notice Of their
action last Saturday, and several days time
ing last night, they failed to pay attention
to it, and this morning all Of the fires in
the pudding furnaces were drawn, when
the night men went off and the day men
refused to 90 in.
The strike Of the puddlers throws out
OF work, besides themselves, buggy and
roll men to the number OF nearly 500.
They have been getting since their last
strike S % per ton, and the price de-
manded is the same as that made by the
Palo Alto puddlers, who returned to work
at the same figures as they have been get
ting.
The Fishback men are firm in their de-
mands, and they will not 60 back at the
old rates. Whether or not they gave
Messrs. Atkins notice OF their intention 10
strike is hard to tell. That gentleman said
to an Enquirer reporter, as did all the
clerks in the office, that no notice had
been received, and all they knew was q
vague rumor they had heard on the
streets to the effect that the puddlers
wanted TO be paid at the same rates as
were paid at Palo Alto. This the clerks
said they were getting, and they had no
doubt that when the Palo Alto men were
advanced, Messrs. Atkins would also ad.
vance.
