A CRANK
With a Divine Mission Arrested.


WASHINGTON, October 31.-A tall,
broad-shouldered, well-dressed man
called at the White House this morning
about ten o'clock, and asked to see the
President. The usher told him the Presi-
dent was not in, whereupOn he delivered
the following letter: "JOhn WoOling,
you are hereby informed that Doctor
John NOetling is lawfully elected Presi-
dent of the United States and occupies
the White House every day" Signed,
almighty God, communicated by the
Holy Spirit" This, of course, put the
usher on his guard, and he quietly in
vited him to take a seat in the ante-rOOm
until the President could see him
Sergeant DismOre was sent for,
and on his asking what business
the stranger had with the President
he handed him paper with the follow
ing request to be shown to the Presi-
dent: 81 desire to see the accounts of
the President" After yainly trying to
get the man to leave Sergeant DinsmOre
attempted to arrest him. A fearful
struggle took place, in which the mad
man was with difficulty OyerpOwered
by three attendants of the White House.
He was finally thrown down, and his
pistol, which he grasped to draw at the
beginning of the struggle, was taken
from him. 1t was seyen-barreled re-
vOlver, of small calibre, and was fully
loaded. The madman was taken to the
police headquarters. His name he gave
as DR.. John Noetling, although he had
been at hotel here since the 25th of
September under the name of John VOL
ing; his home is in COlesville, Snyder
county, Pa. He was here in May last
and was theu arrested by the police as a
crank, and sent to his family in Penn

IN ASHES.
EdgefieId, South Carolina, Burn
ed to the Ground.

EDGEFIELD G. H., S. c., October 81
Edgdfield is in ashes. The business part
of the town was totally destroyed; only
three stores left. The large Tillman
Hotel was consumed. There are not
enough provisions in town to last forty
eight hours. The Office of the Chronicle
was burned. The Advertiser building
and property is safe. Fire broke out
just before dawn in the large livery
stable of the Tillman House. Merchants
and business men are terrible losers.
The fire desOlated everything from the
Tillman Hotel to the Saluda
House. The loss of property is
immense. Stocks of goods, generally,
are not insured. The fire ragged all day
Sunday, and it was $40 p. m. before the
flames had exhausted themselves. The
scene was one of wild confusion and
awful sadness. The loss is estimated at
more than 100000. The losses are dis
tributed among thirty-fve persons or
firms. The heaviest individual loss is
$1,000. The law office of United States
Senator Butler is among the losses. The
colOred cooperation store and stock is
all gone. The fire is regarded as in
candiarV.

. LONDON, Nov. IA troop shin will
leave Portsmouth to-day with $40 men
to reinforce the various regiments in
Ireland. Orders have been received at
AthlOne to have flying column in read
iness to proceed Immediately to any part
of West Meath or ROscOmmOn.
Father Conway of Skreen, county of
Sligo, Ireland, has been suspended for
advancing Land League views. The
people of the parish have built up the
doors and windows of the chapel, and
declare that no priest but Conway shall
Ofticiate therein.
The Standard says: We have the best
reason for the belief that Gladstone con-
templates resigning the ChancellOrship
of the Exchequer shortly, and also
grounds for the belief that he meditates
retiring altogether from official life.
A butcher named Duff has been SEN
fenced to death for the murder of a
policeman in street brawl in Dublin
on the 10th of September, the commence
ment of the ill feeling between the police
and pOpulace.
AT Belmullet, County Mayo, last week,
when the police were being attacked
and fired upon by the police, two per-
sons were fatally shot and twenty
wounded. A renewal of the disturb
ances is feared and reinfOrcements have
been sent.
The Freeman's journal predicts the
Land Court will fail because of the

THE WRECK
Of the Jennie Gilchrist-.R RecOv-
ering Bodies.

Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, October 3O.-The
wreck of the sunken steamer Jennie
Gilchrist was moved last night by the
waves of passing steamboats,. The cabin
and pilot house detached from the hull
and flOated down the river ten miles,
where they stranded upon sand bar.
This morning Captain Wall, the diver,
visited the hull and on hasty exami-
nation discovered there were no bodies
lodged in that portion of the boat. He
was conveyed to the place where the
cabin was located and made careful
examination of all the rooms and apart
ments. The resultOf this investigation
was the recovery of two bodies, Mrs.
Camp, of Davenport, and William Wendt,
of COrdOva. The diving and search for
the missing will be continued next
Tuesday. The total loss is reported at
eleven, seven men and four women.

harsh and. cruel treatment, the use of
prOfane and indecent language, and
neglect of wifely duties, commenced in
Akron and continued here. The parties
were married in San Francisco Feb. 20.

Akron. The suit causes a great social
sensation here. The wife is generally
thought to rival her husband in mental
power and culture.

having become Il member Of the great
American Dental Association, and hay
ing Faculty, some Of whom have
grown gray MS teachers, men eminent in

Prof Eve having first conceived the

of vast importance to the Medical Stu-

These combined schools have not per-
haps had precedent as to the number
of matriculates and graduates, some of
whom are now making their mark rs

their specialIies with credit to themselves
and honor to their alma mater.
The Faculty will begin Immediately
to erect new college building with all
the modern Improvements rs to comforts,
light, ventilation, &C., so that every
room will be built with full reference to
the object for which tits intended. The
