OTHER INcoNSIDERABLE TRIPLES

WASHINGTON, November 26.-It is com.
mon for persons who have been tried and
convicted, to apply for an arrest of SEN
tence, and to resort to proceedings lookin:
to an escape from ultimate consequences
Some such steps are being taken by certain
old Republican leaders against whom the
country has just brought in a verdict Of
guilty. Such worthless as Reuben Z.
Fenton, John Sherman, Ben Harrison, with
others who dread going into the minority,
are foremost in the business. Arthur,
whom, in eomprehensive4anguage, they
have slaughtered in cold blood, and for
whom thew have no respect in
his desolation, they outwardly
pretend TO care for now. The
reason is Arthur has two years to run,
has patronage IN his hands, and Is capable,
should il come to that, of combinations
which might be exceedingly disagreeable
10 them and their followers, not q few of
whom are in Office. They have q desire
TO save the Administration now! OF course
they have-that is, they want to save the
Offices they hold and obtain more if they
can. The report is that an understanding
is to be reached, if possible, whereby there
will be harmony when Congress assemblies.
1t is to be observed who they are that step
TO the front to do this: John Sherman,
whose friends are running q parallel
now between his action in eXpell-
ing Arthur from the New York Custom
House end the action of the people at the
recent elections, and who does not disguise
bis own qualification, and K. E. Fenton,
fresh from the conSpiracies for humili-
~
alleled defeat. There are Others, but these
are the leaders among the peacemakers.
The truth is, fear is felt concerning the
rebound of their own blows. Besides,
Fenton thinks that the idea of a new man
for President means him. This specially
accounts for his interest in hedging Arthur
about and getting possession of the Ad-
ministratiOn. IL is perfectly natural that
the bosses whom the people have just con-
demned should be stirring. 1t will he per-
Ceived that few Stalwarts are around. how.
ever. Their idea is, il the halfbreeds are
satisfied with their work, they are not GO
ing 10 be trou bled about repairing dam
ages. Neither Conkling, nor Cameron, nor
Logan, nor Grant, nor any one of that |
class of men is heard of in the business |
which sherman and Fenton have under |
taken. What kind Of understanding, in |
the interest Of harmony to and for the sal |
ystion Of the grand old party" would it |
be that left COnkling, Grant, Caperou. and |
Logan out? Is it supposable that Blaine, |
Sherman, Fenton and Harrison are going |
to capture Arthur and the Administration, |
along with Malone and Riddleberger, |
for ends that do not have the favor of the |
great Stalwart leaders? When all the |
leaders of the two factions are found COM |
ing together with the Administration,
then il will seem probable that efforts to |
the party in harmonious &C.

IYpnSAPoLIs, IND, Noverber 26-Friday
evening last the body of Taylor Dunbar,
grocer of Darlington, this State, was found
in cornfeld near that place, the head
and upper part OF the body bearing evi.
dence that murder had been committed.
He had left home in company with Joseph
Stout, young man Of Darlineton who
could not be discovered after the finding OF
Dunbar's remains, and suspicion at once
was directed TO him as the
murderer. The marshal of Oar
ling,oh, q friend OF Dunbar's came
to The city in search Of Stout and yester-
day arrested him at variety theatre.
Blood was found on his shirt, which was
covered by two other garments. A pawn
check in his possession called for watch
that had belonged to the murdered man,
and when he was recognized by the pawn.
broker as the person who pawned the
watch the proof Of guilt appeared
back to Darlington by the constable, and on
the way Stout confessed his guilt. He
stated that they started together to the
country with huckster wagon, and took
with them a shot gun for the purpose OF
hunting. About four miles from town
they went into . thicket, where Stout
knocked him down by hitting him twice on
the back Of the head with club. He then
took the gun which Dunbar had and shot
him twice, one shot taking effect in the side
of the head and the other In the front part
of the neck. After riding his pocket OF 81
in money and silver watch, he left the
body and came to this city. Intense excite.
ment exists in Darlington, and II Is feared
the prisoner will be lynched. He is young
man, worthless, and OF unsavory reputa-
ton. while his victim was young man OF
family, and stood well IN the community.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 28.-Buck Stout,
the murder OF Taylor, was taken to Craw.
fordsyille last night. A mob was organized
at Colfax and Darlington, through which
places the train passed, for the purpose Of
hanging hin, but the officers in charge,
bearing Of 1t, left the train at Thorntown
and drove through. They were headed of
at one or two places, but by rapid driving
succeeded in reaching the Crawfordsville
jail in safety with the prisoner. 1t Is
feared that further effort will be made to
take Stout from Jail and hang him.

BELLl6ERENT CHILL.

.--I-ES 1syesVSsA ~+&-SN>----- ~, s-------
WASHINGTON, November 26.-News has
recently been received here OF certain COM
phcations in South American affairs which
NAV place a new aspect upon our interests
in relation to the Isthmus. 1t appears that
Chilli has preferred a claim of S20,OO0,OO
damages against the United States OF Col
ombia. This claim is for allowing arms
and military stores OF various kinds to pass
across the Isthmus from the United States
20 Peru and Bolivia during the late war
with Chilli. The President of Colombia left
Bogata ostensibly to settle boundary dis
pute with Costa Rica, and met the Chilian
envoy at Panama. At this meeting treaty
of friendship was negotiated by which II
was agreed to submit all unsettled queS-
tions 10 arbitration; and, secondly, 1t was
agreed to invite all the SoSth American Re-
pubiiCs to meet IN
A Congress at Panama
TO settle their differences. This congress,
however. did not meet; although formal
invitations to attend were issued to all the
Powers interested. The nations along the
isthmus and those adjacent, except Mexico,
responded, but Chill, Ecuador, and the
Argentine Republic did not appear. The
| belief in the United States OF COLOMBIA 10
| that Chilli secretly prevented the assemo'
| ling of the Congress lest its course with
Peru and Bolivia should fail of approval;
| This has been the more readily believed
| from the fact that the Gillian Congress
| has rejected the proposed treaty with the
| United States of Colombis, and so left the
| claim for so, ,OOO, 600 pending. It's
Al this Point
| that the supposed interest of the United
/ States in the matter enters. The movement
| OF Chilli is looked upon along the lsthmuS
| as a scheme on the part OF Chill to demand
| q cession Of territory from Colombia as
| satisfaction of this Claim; further, that the
| design is to take strip reaching across the
| istbmus. The claim for territory VII! oe
based upon the knowledge that the United
states of Colombi can not pay the money,
as her treasury is practically empty. Inc
| report is current at Panama that seizure
of that point by the Chiiian navy is one OF

The claim in Colombia is that in this
affair of the claim for damages as part OF
a move against the isthmus, Chill has the
warm support of the English commercial
interests with which she is closely allied

The Hudson Tunnel.

New York, November 26.-Work in the
Hudson river tunnel remains suspended
for want of funds. Col. Haskin said to-
day that there would soon be funds with
which to go on. "The furry in Wall
street has put us back little, said he,
"and the sickness Of Trenor w; farK, VINO
has managed our finances, has been q
great drawback. We have already put
S94O, 900 into the tunnel, and have not the
slightest fear that all that investment is to
be lost by the failure to secure the $500
600 needed to finish the tunnel proper.
| see no reason why the tunnel should not
be completed in eighteen months, Then
the railroad traffic that now goes thr9 ign
New York can be made continuous and the
changes of all the railroads can be made in
one depot. Some of the capitalists who
have already put large sums in the work
are ready to double their subscriptions.

JUDGE ADVOCATES.
A Movement ON Foot TO Abolish Them.


WASHINGTON, November 26-Tnere is a
movement on foot to have bill introduced
in Congress at the next session abolishing
the corps OF Judge Advocates in the army.
The promoters of this scheme claim that
the present system of trials by military
courts martial is very defective and needs a
thorough overhauling. 1t is proposed to
abolish the corps outright and go back to
the former system of detailing an officer,
with the rank of a major, whose duty
it shall be to review the proceedings Of
courts martial after they have been for.
warded to the Adjutant General OF the
army. In fact the idea is to establish a
bureau in the War Department where the
prOceedins of courts martial will be passed
upon. An officer Of high rank, who favors
the above named change, says under the
present system courts martial are trans
formed into mere police courts; the limo.

A FIERCE FIRE.


Burning of Long Island OIL Refinery.
New YORK, November 26.-The Devon
Oil Works on Ash street, near Newton
Creek, L. l., burned this afternoon at half
past two. A tank exploded with loud
report, and the oil ran like river Of fire
over the premises and into the creek. A
large quantity went over canal boat at
the dock, setting it on fire. The boat was
loaded with oil and burned fiercely. A
second tank then exploded, and the EN-
ployees were obliged TO run for their
lives. The entire fire department was
called out but their efforts -. to
check the flames were uuayailing
as the water scattered the burning oil in
every direction. The oil remaining IN the
tanks burned fier&ely, throwing out an in
tense heat. The flames were finally com
municated to Smiths box factory and that
was badly damaged. The loss is believed
TO be about $75. 900, although some men en-
gagged in the oil business estimate 1t at a
much higher figure.
