Putting Up Their Money.
New York, October i2.-As TAR as bet
ting NAV be regarded as an indication of
public feeling relative tn the Presiden-
tial contest. the prospects are favorable
To tie election of Hancock and English.
A wcll.known citizen. who has Opportu-
mites for knowing what is going on
among sporting men, said to day that
bets oi 81 900 to $500 are freely made
that Hancock and English will be elect
ed. There are many bets Of 81 600 to
$50 that the Democrats will carry lndl-
ana.
Republicans Trying to Hedge.
Ell. Gilmore, OF Niblo's Theatre, has
bet about $4,000 that General Garfield
will be elected. This bet was made sew
eral weeks ago. For the last two weeks
MIR. Gilmore has been trying in vain to
hedge.
s. Foster Dewey bet SIC, 900 even that
Garfield will I've elected President. He
now wants to hedge, but me cannot find
victim.
Ed. Kearney has bet over $50, 900 even
on General Hancock, and lie is willing
to bet any amount from $50, 900 to sloo,-

possible to obtain takers.
A Sort of q Squeal.

Fifth Avenue Hotel, bet about 5000

When several parties offered to accept
further similar bets from him he said he

A Girl Monk
London Telegraph.

London Telegraph.
Matrena Ivanova, Russian peasant
girl of two-and.twenty, has recently ac'
auired considerabl notoriety in her
native land through the fact that, under
the monastic designation OF Father
Michael" she succeeded in passing sew
eral months in the cloister of StaraJa
Laioga, without mourning the least
suspicion on the part OF her fellow
monks that she was other than size
seemed t. be. Forced by her father 10
marry person whom she detested, she
disappeared from her home on the day
succet ding her wedding, and, up n
search being made, her clothes anu Two
long plaits of her "black hair were
found near the WolchoH river, as we'll
asa letter in her handwriting, stating
that, rather than live with her husband,
she had resolved to drown herself. Her
relatives, believing that she had really
committed suicide, forbore any further
inquiry, and mourned for her as one
dead. She, however, dressed in man
clothing, applied last March Tor admls,
sion to the above named monastery, and
was duly received into the conlraternity
on probation, taking the minor VOWS,
and officiating as coachman to the Prlor.
There is no knowing to what ecclesias-
teal dignities she might not in time
have risen, had not unkind fortune de-
creed that native Of her own village
should have been sent to Starajs Lado-
"a by his master at the hands OF the
brethren, his offense being inveterate
drunkenness. Promptly recognized and
denounced by this indiscreet topper as
Matrena Iyanoyna, q friend Of his
youth, "Father Michael was handed
over to the police authorities by the IN
disnant monks, and Is now awaltins
trial for imposture upon religious
community-s crime likely to be visited
with severe punishment in 20 press

RECKLESS REPUBLICANS.

They Will Not Hesitate at Any Villiany
to Accomplish Their Purposes-A Riot
to BE Provoked in New York City, and
Troops TO Be Placed at the Polls.
WASHINGTON, ID. G., O:tober 1.-THE
outlines OF q desperate death struggle to
maintain the Republican grip on the
State of New York, and throttle a free
expression at the ballot box, leaked out
to-day through an imprudent attache OF
the Department of Justice. Its revolu-
tionary character can be inferred from
the following details OF the plan: A
few days ago, it will be remembered,
Johnny Davenport gave orders to his
minions in New York City to
Seize and Confiscste
every naturalization certificate bearing
date OF 1868, and John Kelly ordered
his men to deal summarily with all OF
Davenport's subordinates who made
any such attempt. Davenport contend
ed that laws passed subsequent to 1865
branded all certificates issued in this
year OF Tweedism and corruption as il.
legal, and hence claimed his authority
to act in this ighhanded manner.
Kelly, on the other hand, has shown
that the Courts have already decided
that the city is responsible for the debt
saddled on it in the days OF Tweed, on
the ground that the bonds bear the city
seal OF the properly constituted author.
tiles at the time; and Judge Barnard
has decided on the
Self.same Principle Of Law.
that these certificates of naturalization
of that date must be legally recognized,
because they bear the seal OF the Court,
which is genuine, and can not be i'm.
peached. Judge Barnard, though ap-
peaed to by the drowning Republicans,
has refused to hold Court on election
dayin November, and come to their re-
lici by recognizing any proceedings that
Davenport may wish to take at that
time.
With Their Guns Thus Spiked by the
Courts,
and i'm desperate defiance OF the civil
authorities, Davenport has resolved on
a recourse to the ID .partments at WASH
ington for troops at the polls Ia preserve
peace. Under the Army Bill, IA passed,
Federal troops can be used to preserve
the peace upon call of the Governor ot
a State, hut in no c,se 10 be used az a
Police Force at the polls. Al that Is
needed, therefore, to fulfill these condl-
tions required by the law is a Governor
of Republican principles, a Supervisor
incendiary enough to prrcipita'e pop
l,r disturbance, and War D'part'
ment in harmony with both. D,ven-
port,
Even at the Ri,k Of Life,
can supply the disturbance, c rne'l can
furnish the call and Hayes can forward
the troops.
From the way this rl,t is outlined in
detail there is no good reason to doubt
that it has been seriously con 'l1ered, If
not matured, ana will serve TO fire the
honest voters with Indignation at the
last ditch" campaign Of the Republic
cans. No such call would he made on
General Hancock at Governors Island,
because he would instantly resign in the
lace of such orders; but there is time
enough To mature aud consummate the
trick, and TINS precipitate a collision he.
tween the people and the troops in New
York next November.

The Wind.uo at Cincinnati.

CIxCISyaTI October 1.-THE politi-
cal campaign closed tonight without any
public meetings or parades, and the city
is unusually quiet. The committees
and candidates OF both parties
have been very busy during the
day, and everything indicates
very large vote. The canvass has
been managed and regarded more like
National than State election, and state
candidates. and even local candidates,
except congressman, are not at all promi'
nently brought forward. 1t is, therefore,
thought that there will he but
little scratching OF tickets and that party
lines will he unusually closely drawn.
Hon. w. Ill. Barnum is here tonight,
having come from Indianapolis, whittier
he will 20 tomorrow.

THE ST. LOUIS SUICIDE.
Testimony Before the COrOners
Jury-The Cause of the ACT
Unknown.

Sc. Louis, October ll.-Atthe inquest
today on the body OF Leon Baucher,
who committed suicide last night, his
son, who resides in st. Louis county,
testified that his mother died about a
wear ago, since when his father has been
much depressed in spirits. In addition
10 this his father believed his blood was
tnrninr to watt, r, and on this subject he
hal become a monomaniac. On all
",her subjects, however, he was perfectly
rational. Letters found in hls Office last
night give no clue To the suicide anu re-
fer almost wholly to business and the
disposition OF his property. Twoyoung
