FERRETING THE FORGERY.
A New York Journalist Arrested
for Forging the Chinese
letter.

NEw York, Oct. 27.-Kennard
Philip, journalist, was ar
rested in Brooklyn to-day, on the
charge of forgery in connection with
the Garfield Chinese letter. He will
be arraigned in the supreme court
this afternoon His counsel has al
already applied for his discharge on
habeas corpus. Another report
states that the arrest was made on a
charge of counterfeiting postofice
dies, upon a warrant granted in the
federal court.
Philip was arrested in the lobby of
the Park theatre, Brooklyn, while in
conversation with ex-Sheriff Doggett,
a republican leader of Kings county,
and other gentlemen. The arrest
was made by Detective Stewart, of
New York, upon warrant issued by
Judge Noah Davis, presiding justice
of the supreme court, which charges
the prisoner with malicious libel.
Philip and the officer, accom-
panied by William Veeder, came
over to the police headquarters in
this city. After a brief detention
here he was taken to the supreme
court, Judge Davis being temporarily
absent, he was detained in the dis
trict attorneys Office. He will be
arraigned before Judge Davis later
in the day.
LATER-Kenward Philip was ar
raigned at 3 o'clock this evening be-
fore Chief Justice Noah Davis, oil
the supreme court. His counsel,
| Gen. Roger A. Pryor, objected to
the prosecution, reading the afida-
Wits on which the order of arrest
was obtained, but the judge over
ruled the objection. District Attor-
ney Bell then read the affidavit by
Col. Geo. Bliss, who testified that
he examined the fac simile copy Of
the letter with others in his posses
sion from General Garfield, and
pronounced it q forgery. That
he compared Photographic copy Of
the letter with writings of the ac~
cused and on information and belief
thought he was author of it. Aft
davits sworn to by Joseph E. Payne
and Albert T. Southworth, experts
in hand writing, were read and were
of similar purport. Attached to the
affidavits was the original copy Of an
article for publication written by the
accused.
A motion was then made to have
the warrant dismissed on the ground
that the afidavits were not strong
enough to support it. The motion
was denied by Judge Davis, who
held the publication of an article
after it's authenticity is denied which
tended to bring Odium on the sup
posed author, was criminal libel
The examination was adjourned unit
IL o'clock tomorrow morning, the
| prisoner furnishing five thousand
dollars bail to appear.

The ..EveninS Star, ON a Cruise.

II
The Tow-pathers boarded the Evening
STAR promptly at seven bells last evening.
After weighing anchor, unfurling the top
sails and flag, Capt. Manson announced
that the crew had important business before
it. During the cruise a large amount OF
business was transacted, as the Tow-pathers
desire to present good appearance on the
evening of the Igrand rally. The purser
stated that the supply of provisions for
men and feed for mules being exhausted, it
was necessary to make some purchases.
Capt. Manson then called for payment of
assessments to which there was generous
response. A number of active deck hands
having been elected, attention was called
to the fact that the crew had
reached the limit of member
ship fixed by the shipping
articles. After some discussion, it was res
solved to limit the membership to the
number at present on the roll.
1t having been suggested that the mules
were not named, deck-hand Maloney
moved that the matter be left to the caps
tain. The motion was carried.
Capt. Manson then gave orders that the
crew assemble at p. m. Friday, the 18th
inst, in font of the Hattie house, where
the uniforms, boat, &C., will be IN resdl-
ness for the grand cruise on that evening.
There being no further business, by or
der of the captain the boat was tied up.
MThe tow>pathers were the happy re-
cipients of two beautiful baskets of flowers
from Mrs. E. w. Adkins and Mrs. T. A,
Hudiburg.

FAITHLESS.
a Paramour and Wife Bo.h Killed

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 26.-The
following special from Wythe-
vile gives the account of a
shocking tragedy which occurred re
Gently in Carroll county. It says
Mr.. Frank Allison, merchant, doing
business with a young man named
Hanks as partner at Woodlawn, Car
roll county, near the Grayson and
Wythe county lines, had reason to
suspect Hanks was too familiar with
his wife, and on Wednesday last he
set trap by which he fastened the
guilt of both parties beyond doubt.
He told his wife that day he would
be absent until the next. He Sc
creted himself until night, when he
returned after bed time and entered
the room of Hanks in the rear part
of the store, which building was in
close proximity to his residence
Here he discovered his wife and
Hanks together and commenced fir
ing upon them, killing Hanks in
stantly and mortally wounding his
wife with two shots. Five shots
were fired. Allison then surrene
dered himself. The family is one
of highesS zespectability, and the
shock to the friends and relatives is
distressing.

Hon. Marshall Jewell, chairman re
publican committee:
Dear Sir: In my dispatches of
yesterday and this evening (Which
are also sent you by maiD,
I have denounced the Morey letter

brutal sentiments [ never espoused

Any one who is familiar with my
Handwriting will instantly see that
the letter is spurious.
Very truly, yours,

FIRE.
Oue Thousand Men Thrown Out OF
Employment.

Employment.
NEW York, Oct. 27.-The Ansonia
Clock company's factory, situated at
the correr of Seventh avenue and
Twelfth street, Brooklyn, together
with a large quantity of valuable
machinery and stock, was totally de-
stroyed by fire at 2 o'clock this morn
ing. The fire is believed to be of
incendiary origin, as it started in the
reading room in the corner of the
building, where there was nothing
of an infamable nature. The total
loss is estimated to be about $780,
600; insurance about quarter of
a million of dollars. About 1000
hands are thrown out of employ
ment by the fire.
The loss will probably be one mill
lion dollars. The insurance is said
to be only couple hundred thousand
dollars, perhaps less. The factory
was put there two years ago to en-
hance the value of a great tract of
land owned by projectors. The main
building covered fifty city lots. A
number of private houses occupied
chiefly by employees of the factory
were badly damaged. Fifteen en-
gines worked on the flames but the
fire was not stayed until everything
upon which it could feed was des-
troyed
The fire was Immediately preceded
by an explosion, which is thought tc
have been caused by gas about two
o'clock this morning. The watch
man was then on his rounds through
the building; he gave the alarm i'm
mediately. Before a sufficient num-
Der of engines to efectually battle
with the flames could reach the spot,
the whole building, a five story
structure, was enveloped in fire
throughout with such very
intense heat that the fremen
could not get near enough to the
burning pile to do good. service. The
works had been in operation about
fourteen months and the building
and machinery originally cost over
$500,000,000. From time to time
additional machinery has been added
and improvements made until the
whole works were most complete in
the country. The superintendent
of the works says it is not
likely that the factory will be rebuilt
on the same site, but the company
will put up another factory as soor
as they can settle up their business
He did not know the amount of in
surance, or in what companies the,
were insured, but he could safely sa,
that nearly every New York AM
Brooklyn, as well as some foreig1
companies, had taken risks. Th
company manufactured their gas
and had their own gas retorts
Last night, it is said, befor,
the workmen left, the gas got Low
and began to flicker. It was impos
sible for the men to continue work, 81
they left hastily, leaving the gas jets

gas still flowed in from the ga,
