with few rods north of Boynton's
landing place, and plunged into the
river. He struck out into the current
and swan down stream and when near

Louisville, KY, Oct. 31.-A Courier
Journals Bowling Green correspondent
says: An organized effort was made
Friday night to capture the James
brothers in Logan county near Adairs-
Vile. 1t he'd been rumored for several
days that the robbers were in that
neighborhood. A woman wrote to
Gov. Blackburn on the 10th that they
intended to attack the L. s. N. road at
Colesburg soon. Blackburn received the
letter at Yorktown and turned it over
to the railroad authorities, but in do
ing this and organizing, several days
were lost. The detectives organized
the attacking party, which was under
the direction Of Hunter, a man who
captured Cove. Kennedy. The posse
met at Russellville Friday evening, 16
men strong, selected with special re-
ference to their cool courage, armed
to the teeth with Winchester rifles,
double-barrelled shot guns and pistols.
They arrived at O'Clock, am, at the
house of Hites, near Adairsville, where
the robbers were known to have been O
few days previous. They surrounded
the house, but the birds had flown, be.
ing warned in advance.

The German Election.

Berlin, Oct. 31.-The liberals expect
to secure twenty out Of the ninety seats
in the second ballots, making their
total strength in the reichstag one hun
dred. The government officials COM
milted great abuses at Lanenburg,
where liberals were arrested and great
pressure was exercised in favor of the
conservatives Schleswigholstein and
Westprussia. The firm adherents Of
Bismarck in the reichstag will not
number imore than one-third, and he
will have to negotiate and maneuvre
dexteriously to carry out his economic
schemes. It is not believed that Bis
marck will try to conciliate the cleri-
Gals by granting concessions in regard
to Culturkampf, and it is therefore
prophesied, as broad result Of the
elections, that he must either frankly
return to what his opponents call lib
eral policy, or bring about a complete
'standstill in domestic legislation.
The Post, in which the government
sometimes throws out teelers, hints at
the possible dissolution Of the reich
stag, If the conservatives and clericals
combined should not have q majority.

New York, Oct. 31.-The hardening
tendency of the money market caused
by the failure Of the Mechanics bank of
Newark, was the main cause of the
weakness of the stock market. 1t was
also feared that there would be run

Elements, or failure to make them with

The good news to-day consisted OF
the announcement that the PenHsyl.

will follow suit tomorrow, but this
news merely steadied the market which

Newark, N. j., Oct. 31.-The cashier
OF the Mechanics national bank told its
directors yesterday that the bank was
unable to pay its debts. They offered
to subscribe half million dollars, but
he said that two millions would not do
1t, and it was decided to suspend busi-
ness. The last statement showed de-
posits of s2, All, 600. John A. Halsey
is president of the concern. and Oscar
L. Baldwin, cashier. Baldwin is con-
sidered responsible for the trouble. The
news was thunder clap, as the insti-
tuition was considered the strongest in
Newark, and the officers most trust
worthy. Baldwin has been arrested as
an embezzler. 1t is stated that the
only assets of the bank are the building
valued at $4,000. 1t is stated that
Baldwin confesses to have converted
81, ,000, 900 to his own uses. The city
and county lose about $40, 600 each.
The funds are supposed to have been
absorbed by Wall street specula-
tions. The bank held all the deposits
Of the old Mutual insurance company
amounting to from 5000. 600 to 81, ,400.-
600, not q penny of which is saved.
Baldwin was bound over in the sum of
500, 900 to appear in court.

Chicago, Oct. 3l.-A Washington
special says: Col. Bliss SO far from be-
lieving that there is no case against
those accused of the Star route frauds,
as has been reported, publishes the fol-
lowing regarding that paragraph: .sThe
statement is wholly untrue. While not
desiring to try the cases out of court, 1
may under the circumstances be justi-
fed in saying that when examined the
cases originally arrived at the convic-
tion that the parties concerned had
been guilty of great frauds on the gov
ernment. My subsequent Investigations
have strengthened that conviction.''
BY another gentleman closely identi-
fed with the investigation of the al
legged conspiracy, the statement was
made tonight that the amount out of
which the government has been de-
frauded is known to be in the neighbor-
hood of 9,000, 900.

Washington special of Monday. says:
Col. Ingersoll having returned to the
city, he and other counsel for Brady
and his associates in the star route cas-
es will appear in court tomorrow, ready
to submit to arguments, why the in
formation recently submitted to the
court by District Attorney Corkhill
should be quashed as invalid, irregular,
unprecedented and illegal. There is
doubt whether argument will be heard
on account of the absence of special
District Attorney Cook, who has direct
supervision Of the case. No intimation
has been received from Mr.. Macy Veagh,
that he will have anything to do with
these proceedings and there is an i'm
preston among lawyers that sufficient
reason has not appeared why informa-
tion should not have reached the court
Through the grand jury. Brady's
counsel will score the first mark in the
contest.

ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Parnelrs Famous Letter From Kill
mainham Jail.
The Liberals Have the Lead in the
German Elections.


Dublin, Oct. 31.-Considerable COM
motion is caused by Mr.. Parnell's letter
printed In the Ereemen's Journal of Sat-
urdaY. There is much curiosity regard
ing parts of the letter which the Jour
nal suppresses, as it says; ION account
of the proclamation of the govern
ment." The following are the suppress
ed portions which are most significant.
After protesting against the formation
of tenants defence leauge to succeed
the land league, he says: ''The only Or
ganization any longer possible is that
the tenants should meet upon the es-
tates where they are called on to pay
rent, and should decide upon common
line of action, recommended In the
manifesto OF the executive. The tine
has now come for the Irish people to
choose between government land courts
and principles Of the league. We have
used our resources to support those
who stand BY our principles, but we
want aid from any tenant on those es-
tates where fellow tenants ON the same
estates are unmindful OF those princi-
pies. We have, therefore, directed
those in charge Of the relief funds to
refuse assistance to tenants on any es-
tate where the rest Of the tenants have
paid rent, or applied to the court to
have fair rent fixed. We advise the
evicted tenants to continue to rely on
the league and not to waste their slen-
der resources on useless legal struggle.
Permit me to express In conclusion the
unanimous feeling of every man in the
jail, that they are willing to remain
here for any number of months or years,
that may be necessary, so long as the
Irish people, whom it is impossible to
imprison. stand by the lessons we
taught them during the two years"
The government is concerned about the
manner in which the political docu-
ments make their way out of Kilmain-
ham. First the s'po rent" manifesto;
second, the Herald's interview; third,
Parnell's letter.

Washington, Oct. 31.-A man ap-
parantly insane made his appearance at
the white house to-day and demanded
admission. After some parley, 1t was
found that he was armed with a seven
barrelled revolver, and evidently bent
on shooting somebody. His arrest was
accomplished after some difficulty, re-
quiring three men to overpower him.
The crank was well dressed, power
fully built and was recognized by the
door keeper as the crank who called in
May last and was sent home to Penn
sylvania; he gave his name as John
Woling, and endeavored to force his
way in, and desperate struggle en-
sued. Dinsmore choked him so he
could not use his drawn revolver.
Steward Crump and others took a hand
and Woling, or DR.. Noctiing, was taken
to the station. He presented the fol-
lowing letter:
"John Woling: You are hereby in
formed that DR.. John Noctling is 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 appeared and
showed his letter Dinsmore seated him
in the parlor until the president could
see him. Woling handed him the fol-
lowing for the president:
81 desire the official returns Of the
late presidential election.
1t was after this that Dinsmore ar
rested him, and the struggle began.
The mailman has been at hotel here
under the name Of John Woling, since
September %, but his real name is DIR.
John Noctling, and his home is at
Calesville, Synder county, Pennsyl-
vania.
