Democrats Fail TO Organize the Houses.
RumOrs Of n Compromise.


ALBANY, N. Y, January 3.-Neither
branch of the Legislature was organized by
the Democrats to-day. 1t is thought that
an amicable settlement will be arranged
this afternoon, and that when both branches
meet tomorrow they will be organized by
the Democrats. In the Senate the anti
monopoly resolutions gave rise to consider
able debate. The Lieutenant Governor
made feeling allusion TO the death OF
the late President Garfield.
In the Senate the anti.monopoly resolu-
tions were adopted with the omission OF
the preamble setting forth among
other things that bills against
the monopolists have been delayed
and defeated by committees ap-
pointed in the interest OF railroads. Tam
many representatives regard the adoption
OF the resolutions as victory, and attach
no importance to the rejection Of the pre-.
amble. They say the Senate is now pledged
to anti-monopoly legislation. The nearest
approach to compromise among the Demo-
Gratis this morning was rumor that the
Tilden men had consented to withdraw
Jacobs for President pro temporC Of the Sen
ate, provided Tammany would agree to
accept such further terms as might be fair.
ALBANY, January S-The Democrats
met in caucus. tonight, and nominated Of
ticers of the Legislature. After the nd.
ionrnment Tammany expressed deter.
minatiou to oppose their election.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-At the afternoon ses-

ieved his wife insane because she was
sometimes quite irritable and nervous.
She once said if Guiteau was taken
away her coffin should be got

Bertha should not remain. She said
she was afraid to live in the same house
with witness, as if he should die suddenly
people would believe she poisoned him.
She showed loss of feeling and indiffer-
ence to the sentiments which affect ordi-
nary people. Tho execution of Gaiteau
had little effect on her.
Cross examined Scoville asserted he had
always been a kind and devoted husband
and all his efforts were directed to
restrain her from going about and into
gentlemen's offices and making acquaint-
ances IN irregular ways. he never accused
her of improper intimacy with other men

younger, and got in the habit of undress.

was addressed by MI. Rhodes, of Little

terday to the effect that the Hon, Fl. L.

speak at Potter's hall this evening. but
whether the honorable gentlemen (Gordon
especially were aware of the reception
which would greet them, they failed
to put IN an appearance. Mr.. Rhodes au-
dience consisted of about thirty voters, all
OF whom with one exception will vote for
Kindred at the coming election. Hespoke
for about an hour, not on the issues of the
campaign, but merely eulogizing his favo-
rite candidate, and denouncing Kindred in
true Nelson style. He was listened to at
tentively by those present, but his voice
was frequently drowned by the shouts of
crowd of Kindred men who had assembled
outside the hall, and when at the conclu-
sion OF his speech, Uncle Geo. Day arose
and proposed three cheers. for Kindred
they were given with a will by all present
with the one exception previously men
toned and the speaker. All respect was
shown Mr.. Rhodes, as he certainly is gen
tleman, but he has the sympathy of the

lOpCCid1 1c1cSEtIu 10 the UlOUo.
NHw YORK, Oct. 2O.-It was rumored to-
day that Mayor Grace, on account of his
connection with the citizens movement,
had put himself outside the Democratic
fold, and would therefore be requested to
resign his place as member of the Demo-
cratic state committee, SO that trust
worthy Democrat might be substituted in
his place. 1t was said that an early meet
ing of the Democratic state committee
would be held to consider his case, and the
probabilities that if he refused to resign
he would be expelled.
The proposition by members Of
the Republican central committee,
however, to unite with the citizens COM
mittee in the formation of ticket, does
not meet with favor from the more violent
machine men. The opposition takes much
the tone that prevailed among the Tam
many rank and file when it was announced
that the most important offices had all
been given to the organizations. Most of
them are ready to unite in the nomination
of ticket which shall partly be made Of
Republicans. Some of the machine mem
bers favor the citizens movement as Of
fering reasonable prospect Of success. II

Ihe receipts to-day of all grain were
small. But 1896 bushels of wheat ar
rived, while the shipments were 76.514

els and sent out $4,000 bushels.
SO great stir has been caused by the
dressed beef business that st.
Louis is about to fall into
lin 9 behind Chicago and take
hand in the business with millions in
it." This unexpected action is due to the
enterprise and energy of Chicago firm,
Samuel Allerton & Co., who have now COM
pleted their arrangements for the killing
of cattle at the East st. Louis stock yards
and the shipment of dressed beef from
that point direct to Boston and other
points in New England via the Wabash
system, the New York Central and the Bos-
ton d Albany railroads. Mr.. Allerton says
OF his venture: ''The shipment of refrig-
orator beef to the east is the
absorbing topic of the day with
packers, and we are convinced that
there is money in the scheme. We have
decided to go into the business ona large
scale, and have the buildings of the East
st. Louis Canning company, and will be-
gin to kill cattle Monday. The canning
company has a capacity for slaughtering
LOCO cattle day, and for chilling 5000
cattle daily. There is fully half million
dollars invested in the enterprise, ard we
shall put on our own line of refrigerator
cars just as soon as they can be built. We
shall use about 500 cars, which are of the
pattern known as the American refriger-
ators, and are of the same character as the
new ones now in use over the Pennsylvania
ine.''

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 2O.-For months
past there have been rumors of a terrible
apparition which has terrorized all the
women and children in Clear Creek town
ship. The women say they have been sub
ject to terrifying visits in the absence OF
their husbands, from a creature like a
shiny black negress, with long black hair
and cleaning eyes. She asks in hardly
distinguishable gibberish for baby to eat,
and makes efforts to get at the children.
The men, getting tired of the fears of
their wives, determined to catch the crea-
ture, and for the last few weeks crowds Of
farmers have been daily and nightly chas-
ing without success. The first effort
to catch her was made about year ago
by Jno. Roberts, black. The wild crea-
ture had appeared several times at time
when it was the habit of Garry Moore, col
ored, of the neighborhood to light after
dark for the preparation of his meats.
Roberts was put on to watch for her and
she appeared even before the flames were
kindled. She presented such wild look
in the half light, and asked for food in
such wild fashion that Roberts was de-
moraized. Tuesday morning Major
Cowell caught sight of her, and chased her
across an open field. He was badly hurt
IN his efforts to keep up with
her, and reported that she outran a buck
and cleared four corn rows at a leap. Capt
Allen met her later in the day in the neigh
borhood with her face torn and bleed
ing. and long bloody knife in her hands
Her hair reached almost to her feet, but
kinky like an African. It is not mere
fright that has caused the country people
to organize in their attempt to catch the
creature, which has been living in the for.
est and swamps for a year or more. Some
months ago it is reported an, infant was
spirited away from its parents yard, while
they were in the corn field, and was
never heard from, and the disappearance
was from that section Of the country in
which the wild woman has been seen. Yes.
terday the farmers, some mounted and 9th.
ers ON foot, assembled for the purpose OF
surrounding a swamp in which the creature
is known to be hid. There were 400 men
banded together for the chase. At first il
was attempted to run her down with blood
hounds, but they refused to chase her,which
deepened the superstitious feeling with
which the men as well as the women of the
community begin to regard her.
The men then made an attempt to
catch her, but without success. The ex-
element amongst the negroes and the
simple felix's is intense. By the more intel
ligent farmers from the section, the theory
is advanced that the creature is some half
witted woman who has been so long hunt
ed down that she lives in terror of hui
man beings, ana therefore lives like an an
imal in the forest.

Especial Correspondence of the Globe
VERNDALE, Oct. 1.-THE contest is near
ing its close, and yet it has but just begun.
The opposing elements are getting together
for final and desperate struggle. Both
sides are preparing for action. The wea-
pons of warfare are being brought into
position. The work of accommodating has
been diligently carried on and good deal
OF skirmishing has taken place outside the
regular lines, and having ascertained the
position of the enemies forces, we await,
with anxiety, the opportunity flor striking
blow for freedom, with telling effect. On
the seventh day of November instead of
the few random shots now being fired we
shall have a continuous roar of booming
cannon, belching forth the missiles of
truth that shall silence the guns of the en-
envy, and break up their ranks, unhorse
their officers, and capture the entire army,
consisting of several old political hacks,
not few trashy newspapers, dozen or
so immaculate editors, with many mis-
guided but well meaning voters.
There is Waterloo in store for
Nelson and his gang, and C. F.
Kindred and his forces will
determine the geographical location
and the loss of life on the 18th day of the
month of November, 1882.
ing off the wounded while the dead will
be inferred where they fall, on the field of
battle.
Nelson and his friends may say, ION
with the dance, let Joy be unconfned,'
but what little JOY they may be able to
find out of the present state of the politi-
cal question in the Fifth district wouldn't
warrant the ghost of a smile. Of the NUT
terings SO distinctly heard in the near dis
lance, he may say, ''tis but the car rat
Ting DER the stony street." but ere
long he will be painfully re-
minded that it is the s'eann on's
opening roar" but it will be everlastingIy
too late. The die is cast. His fate is
sealed. No earthly power can save him.
Nelson pictures to himself bright pros
pect full of radiant hopes, but when he
comes down from his high perch with an
"inglorious swash," the likeness will be
very different. Instead of the insidious
smile there will.be the look of unutterable
agony; instead of the appearance of seren-
ity there will be seen the most terrible con-
tortions of the facial features; instead of
the self confidence there will be doubt
equivalent to damnation.
Already he is to be seen tottering on the
brink OF ruin. Its yawning abyss is ready
to receive him, and it is indeed merciful
act that consigns him to the oblivion of
forgetfulness, and relieves him of the
gaze of the world.

court here, and was interviewed to-day up
on the governorship. He is a member of
the Republican rnti-St. John club. and a
warm personal friend of Senator Ingalls,.
through whom he secured disappointment.
Judge Foster said: The object of the Re-
publican anti-St. John club is to prevent
the reelection of Jno. P. st. John
Governor of Kansas, and to
use all honorable means in
our power to release the party from the
burden of prohibition and female suf-
frage that demagogues have saddled upon
it. Its membership in Shawnee county is
800. The prohibitionists claim that we
have left the Republican party, but we
maintain that we have not. We advocate
the pure party principles, and refuse to
recognize the follies and absurdities and
heresies that st. John and his followers
insist shall be incorporated in the party
faith. We condemn and oppose the intro
of these false isszes. We did not believe
st. John worthy of support before he was
nominated and because he gerrymandered
his way through convention, he has be-
come no more worthy. He is man of
one idea, hobby that claims his entire
thought and attention. For one I op-
posed him originally because of his mar
row mindedness and intolerance, aud his
career as governor does not appear to
have improved him in that respect. Ii
was through the cowardice of the Republi-
can leaders that st. John was enabled to
obtain his ascendancy and get control OF
the party. lam convinced that ma lori
ty of the Republicans of the state think as
l do in regard to this matter, and
that st. John is not the free
choice of the majority for governor. The
leaders of the party were frightened and
cowed by the prohibition craze that swept
through the state, and allowed st. John to
take advantage of it to attain his personal
ends.
The detection against st. John in the
state has grown rapidly since the Ohio
election. The declaration of Governor
Robinson, Greenback nominee for COVER
nor, is in the hands of the Greenback state
committee awaiting their action.
