l~spEcIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-A man, appar-
emily insane, made his appearance at the
White House to-day and demanded admis-
sion. After some parley it was found that
he was armed with a seven-barreled revolt
yer, and evidently bent on shooting
body. His arrest was accomplished after
some difficulty. 1t required three men to
overpower him. The crank was well
dressed and powerfully built, and was
recognized by the doorkeeper as a crank
who called there in May last, when he was
sent home to Pennsylvania. He gave at
that time the name Of John Woling, and
endeavored to force his way in. A desper-
ate encounter ensued. Dinsmore choked
him SO that he could not use his revolver.
Steward Crump and others took a hand,
and Woling, or DR.. Noctling, was taken to
the station. He presented the following
letter John W~oling-You are hereby in
formed that DR.. John Noctling is the law
fully elected President of the United States,
and occupies the White House every day.
Signed Almighty God, communicated by
the Holy Spirit. When Woling first APP
peared and showed his letter, Dinsmore
seated him in a parlor until the President
could see him. Woling handed him the
following Mr.. President-I desire the
official returns Of the late Presidential
election. 1t was after this that Dinsmore
arrested him and the struggle began. The
mailman has been at a hotel here under the
name of John Woling since Sept. %. His
real name is DIR. John Notchling, and his
home is at Colesyille, Snyder County,
Pennsylvania.
Colonel Bliss and the Star Routes.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Colonel Bliss,
SO far from believing that there is no case
| against those accused OF Star Route
frauds, as has been reported, publishes the
following regarding that paragraph
The statement is wholly untrue. While
net designing to try the cases out oil
| Court, l may, under the circumstances, be
justified in saying that when I examined
the cases originally l arrived at q convic-
ton that the parties concerned had been
guilty Of great frauds on the Government.
My subsequent Investigations have
strengthened that conviction.
By another gentleman closely identified
with the investigation of the conspiracy,
the statement is made that the amount Of
which the Government has been defrauded
is known to be in the neighborhood Of
SO. 900. 900. Argument in Star Route casea
will begin on Thursday next.
Heavy Bank Failure.
NEWARK IN. ~, Oct 31.-The Me.
chanies' National Bank has failed for
5 1900. 900. Oscar G.. Baldwin. manager
and Cashier. is accused OF having fraud.
ulently made away with that sum. He has
been arrested on this charge. He stood
very high in the community. The Di-
rectors are sitting with closed doors. The
widest runAors are afoat. Nobody but
the Cashier is suspected. He had the I'M
limited confidence Of the Board. He con-
fessed yesterday. His confession was made
because he feared a visit from the bank
examiner. The city and county lose about
$40, 900 each of deposits. The Water Board
and manufacturing companies lose smaller
amounts.s It IL not yet known where the
money has gone, but it IL alleged that
Wall street -speculations absorbed II. It
appears that Baldwin got away with every
thing but the safe, which was Q very heavy
one. The bank held al the deposits Of the
old Mutual Life Insurance Company,
amounting to, 1t IL said, from 5000, 600 to
81 400. 900. 1t IL believed that not q penny
Of this amount is saved.

NEW YORK, Dot. 81.-The bark Sammy

evening. On Aug. o, while in latitude
Al. 30 south, longitude $500, she picked up

tanning the Captain was picked up by q

Robbed . by q Clerk.
CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-M. H. MCGUIRE, q
tobacconist, was closed out in business by
his New York and Chicago creditors on
Saturday. His shortage was about SILL
600, and is due chiefly to q plausible and
accomplished young villain named Haas,
who while acting as a clerk for him has
been systematically fleeing him for about
a year, aud who recently disappeared,
leaving q six-page letter behind full Of
good advice to his victimized employer.
