Escape Of Parker, the Guide.


THE REASON FOR HIS ASSAULT UPON MRS. BULL
DELIBERATE PLOT.
Charles Parker, the guide. who assaulted Mrs.
Bun while guiding her to Senator O. H. Platt's
camp, and who was captured and brought to
Long Lake for trial, escaped from the officers
Tuesday night and is at large. Parker lived in
Elizabethtown. and was not regular guide.
His reputation is not good, and it
is said that he forged the name of
Edward Butler, of Olmsteadville, last spring.
He was not recognized by the old guides of the
woods as professional, and he acted chiefly for
people who wanted cheap guide. Hewas angry
at this lack of recognition and threatened that If
he was not used better he would spoil the guild
ing business in the Adirondacks. Some think the
outrage was deliberately planned for this pur-
pose, hence the wrath of the guides, VIII were
out to the number of over one hundred securing
the woods to find him after his flight. They were
all armed and would have shot him at sight. 1t
is asserted that Parker's employer at the Forked
Lake House tried to discourage. pursuit of the
villain. Parker is bold, bad man. Mrs. Bull
after the assault had been made (the criminal
almost choking her to death during her resist
ance), calmly looked the villain in the eye while
they were crossing the lake, and said to him:
You know you have committed horrible
crime and you know that you will suffer for it."
The fiend at once replied that if she thought so
the better way would be to end the affair at once
where in this lake and nobody will ever know
anything about this" His actions indicated
that he was about to carry his murderous
threat into execution when the lady with great
presence of mind quieted him by replying that
she hoped he would say nothing about the affair
to any one. The brute thereupon ceased his
threats. As soon as the boat landed Mrs. Bull
rushed into the cottage Of Senator Platt's wife
and revealed the truth. What followed has al
ready been narrated.

Can't Get Rid Of Him.

Ex-senator Conkling has by no man
ner of means abandoned politics. The
wish was father to the thought with the
half breeds, after they had put him away
as they supposed, at Albany. Mr.. Conk-
ling has determined to disappoint them.
He has declared his intention of being a
candidate for delegate to the Republican
State Convention at Utica, and proposes
to go in to win. Of course the half
breeds cannot give in to him, and the
fight that engendered SO much animosity
at Albany, will be renewed at Utica.
The Democracy can and does congratu-
late Mr.. Conkling on his determination
not to be put down by benefciaries who
fawned upon him for favor, but to betray
him. That there may be no mistake
about our position, we just candidly say
we believe in giving every encourage
ment to this family squabble, and while
they fight we will elope with the prize

The Infamy Can Never Die Out.

The gathering called the State Bar
Association, which is to meet here in
September, has. as the report runs, in
vited Mr. Justice Stanley Matthews, of
the United States Supreme Court, to de-
liver the annual address before its men,
bers.
Mr.. Justice Miller and Mr.. Justice
Matthews both decisively contributed to
the fraud on the Presidency. The one
awarded, and the other rewarded, the
reversal of the vote of Louisiana. This
was crime of the first magnitude and
Of the worst quality. That it counts
unto them for political influence and po-
sition, only makes the criminals more
and not the crime less.
We know that Republicans of calloused
consciences unite in saying that it is
rude and unpopular to persist in refer
ring to this fact of the crime on the
Presidency in 1876. They would like
that fact let alone. But they cannot be
accommodated. There is no way to
ob1ige them, even if there was dsposi-
ton to do SO. If all the press and all
the rostrum kept silence about it, the
speaking and thinking of men would give
the crime an Immortality of infamy.
Every election recalls the fact of the
election reversed by fraud. The numer-
GUS offices filled as reward for agency
in that crime forever advertise the crime.
All impression, all association and sug-
gestion of events, all the organized gov
ernment, all the experience of men are
saturated with the reminding belongings
of the crime. 1t is certain to be always
remembered and REQUIRED to.
Particularly will the designed or un-
designed endeavors of any association,
lay or professional, to give to the princi-
pals of that crime the measure of recog-
milton or rehabilitation involved in in
viting them to act as instructors, on rep
resentative public occasions, be resented.
The visiting statesman, to whom the Re-
turning Board employees confessed their
crimes while committing them the man
with whom the written evidence of those
crimes was lodged for safe and secret
keeping; the man who, with that evi-
aenee IN his possession, argued before
the Electoral Commission that there was
no such evidence; the man who after
ward was blackmailed into demanding
offices for his accomplices on their
threat to expose him and the crime if he
did not do SO, and who, in his own hand,
wrote that their wickedness and his peril
from them was the reason why they
should have the offices, is not one on
whose selection as its orator, the Bar As
sociation of the State of New York is to
be commended or congratulated.

The Doctrine is Democratic.

The Democrats, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, ought to make the task of the
Anti Monopolists easy. They can do SO
by making it their own. They change
the issue from one of doubt to an aspect
of certainty. Anti-monopoly is essen
TALLY Democratic doctrine the aggre-
cation of capital against individual en-.
terprise is direct challenge to the prin-
ciples of the party.-H the Democracy
has the wisdom necessary to its survival
it will welcome the issue with open
arms. IF not, then by all means let it
die and let new party be erected upon
its remains. The struggle is inevitable
and the outcome cannot be doubted. It
is simply a question for the Democracy
whether it will disband in favor of an
other party or be true to its principles
and traditions and win IN contest of
right and liberty against wrong and op-

The Newest Thing in suicide.

The latest novelty in attempts at suicide
comes, of course, from Paris. A work
man, having quarreled with his wife,
withdrew to his room, seized a poignard,
the blade of which was ten centimetres
long, took hammer, and, putting the
point of the poignard to the top of his
head, drove the blade home with blow.
Instead of dropping dead, as one would
suppose. the Frenchman, it is declared
by the Steele Medicale, experienced no
unusual sensation, either mental or
physical. He thereupon endeavored to
extract the poignard, but, though he
tugged hard, he tugged in vain Doctors
were sent for, who found themselves un-
able to extract the poignard. "The
man." we read, "was ultimately taken
to workshop in the neighborhood, ac-
companied by the medical gentlemen,
and here he was seated on the floor, held
down in sitting posture by two persons,
whilst mechanical force was used to
draw the weapon from the skull" This
operation having been successfully per-
formed, he was sent to st. Louis Hospital
and kept there week. He was then
sent home to muse, perchance, over
some surer means of taking his own life
than burying poignard in his brain.
Scientific men are racking their heads
over the problem this singular case

The Alleged Hartmann . Fraud.

Information from Russia respecting Leo
Hartmann says that the person travelling in
this country under that name is a fraud. Says
the account as cabled to the New York Herald:
sThe Hartmann who has visited you in Amer
lea is a fraud. The real Hartmann is known to
have been elsewhere throughout your country.
This has been affirmed by high dignitary
whose name you will easily guess. He
was formerly ambassador at Constantinople,
and it wac rumored yesterday that Count
schouvaloff was to replace him at his present
post, while he himself was to be appointed
Minister of Foreign Affairs. He has since
contradicted this report, and as it is important,
think it right to repeat the contradiction.
The papers WILL however, most certainly pub
lish this news as true"

He Died at Peace with God.

A brute of a negro named Henry Lawson,
near Chattanooga, last Fourth of July, went
to the field where white girl, aged fourteen
years, was plowing, and horribly outraged her.
While passing some thick underbrush along the
fence of the field, in an isolated place, he
caught her, and tying her clothing over her
head with hickory withes, gratifed his lust,
after which he tried to cut her throat with a
razor. She fought him desperately, but re-
ceived number of terrible gashes about the
face and body. Her screams finally brought
persons to her rescue, whose approach fright
ened the fiend away. He was captured, tried,
found guilty and accordingly hanged on the
I'd inst, at Chattanooga. He said he had made
his peace with God.
