BosToN, Oct. ff.-John Mahon s. Sons,

Lynn, and No. II Pearl street, Boston, are
reported as having failed. Liabilities
$3.50, 900.
DALLAS, Tex, Oct 11.-The banks in
this city o-day received kilograms from
Wall street parties informing them that
they want all the confederate bonds they
can secure. They will pay two dollars
and fifty cents per thousand dollars for
said securities. The announcement sur
prised everybody. 1t is surmised that this
sudden appearance of what might have
been considered worthless and dead cellat-
erals is q scheme of collusion ON the part
of European and New York capitalists to
jointly purchase the bonds and in the fu-
ture endeavor to get the state or general
government to pay them.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11.-Washington
Butcher s Sons, wholesale provision deal
ers, 146 North Front street, suspended
payment. The liabilities are estimated at
81, 600, 600. The firm, it is reported, has
been engaged in large speculations OF
grain and it is understood had a long out
standing account in the Chicago market.
The house was established 121 years ago,
and the ownership never departed from
the family.

LONDON Oct. 11.-Parnell, at Wexford
said, The movement for using only ar
ticles of Irish manufacture is more likely
to succeed than any of the similar kind

WASHINGTON Oct 1.-THE position of
David Davis will be to continue indepen
dent. He will not vote to displace Bay
ard, nor will he refrain from voting in or
der to allow it. He will not consent to be
elected president of the senate by either
party. This viii be his attitude during
this session. He will doubtless vote for a
Republican at the regular session in De-
cember.

this evening. He is quite assured of the
success of his ticket in Virginia. He says

this reason he has decided not to hasten
the arraignment.

A feature of the hay market at Bloom
ington is the high price which clover
brings The dealers say that in the past
two or three years there has been a great
change in the price of clover as compared
with timothy. Years ago it was hardly
wanted at all
Peoria has for several wears held first
place on the list as spirit producing dis
trict, last year having paid over 81, 600, ,000
more taxes than Chicago, and about $3,
000, 900 more than Cincinnati. and this
year the collections will exceed those of the
other cities more than ever before.
The committee appointed by the Spring.
field board of trade to investigate and re-
port upon the feasibility of establishing
cotton-mill in that city have prepared
an elaborate report, which show the ven-
ture would be a paying one.
Farmers in Mclean county are some
what uneasy over corn in the field, and say

scattering townships. Only two counties
are reported with any general returns, one
of them, Webster, is represented as elect
ing Wright, republican, to the Legislature,
the first republican since 1860. Jasper
reports the whole republican ticket elected.
The legislature two years ago stood 81
republicans to 10 democrats in the House,
and Il republicans to 8 democrats in the
senate. The indications are that the repub-
hcans will lose three or four members in
the House this year, and hold their own In
the senate, with the probability of gaining
one or two, This would give the republi-
cans some 80 majority in the legislature.
The republican state committee estimates
the republican state majority over the
democrats will be $4,000; over all 80, 600.
The greenbackers seem to have held their
own despite contrary expectations.
DEs MONIES, Oct 114rhe republicans
ELECT their entire county ticket. The city
of Des Moines gives all the republican can
didates a majority.
r The returns from Bloomfield Township,
Polk county, on the state ticket are: Re
publicans g. democrats 80, Clark 26,
Delaware Township: Sherman Sc, Kinne
55, Clark SO. Webster Township: Sher-
man 81. Kinne 20, Clark g. Holley Town
ship: Sherman SO, Kinne 90. Clark 20.
Partial returns from Webster County
give 1S5 for Sherman and 121 for Kinne.
BURLINGTON, Oct. 11.-Incomplete re
turns indicate the that republicans have
carried the county for the state ticket by
small majority. The democrats elect the
legislative ticket.
DUBUQUE, Oct. 11.-The returns are
very meagre, showing light vote throug-
out all northern towns. Only twenty four
towns are heard from, but ALL with exeep
ton of Clayton county give republican
majorities which hold their own. In this
county the democratic state ticket, so far
as heard from, has a majority of 913,
with five democratic townships to hear
from. Graves, anti-amendment republican
is elected to the State Senate by majority
estimated at 1 200, three democratic repre-
sentatives are elected. Waters republ
can, for County treasurer, is probably
elected, with fair chance for Schloth, re
publican for Sheriff.

printers, having worked in printing of
flee at San Augustine Tex, prior to the
robbery. Delaney, in an interview, re
lates the story of the robbery in substance
thus; I'VE are all poor boys, and i've at
San Augustine. We have good relatives
there, and hope they will never hear of
our disgrace. All ofus were in dove, and
the girls loved US We had NO money,
and did not see how we could support
them If we married We were determined
to get married, and so laid our plans to get
money We read about the James boys in
the papers and books, and saw hew easy
It was to rob trains and get away, and de-
cided to rob train. We left home three
weeks ago yesterday, coming direct to Ar
kansas. After robbing the train we did
not think we would be pursued We were
going back home with our money to marry
our girls and settle down We had ne nc
compl1ces, ana We planned the whole thing
ourselves. We only got s., 900 or SO, 900

balance being in bank checks. Monroe

stolen bv the men who captured us. and
hope they will be sent to KEEP us company.
am sorry we failed to get away; but we
acted like a parcel of fools after we rot

blame but ourselves.

fidelity to Democratic principles, as sci
