A Burglars Vtsit-The kSobber Captured
 and Ills Life Threatened By n Mob.
 DEs MONIES, Sept. 17.-At about three o'clock yesterday afternoon @ stranger tered the retail grocery store of J. B. James,
 coated away from business in the residence part of the city. Mr. James was at the time alone and engaged in looking over his books, and while thus engaged the stranger stepped up and dealt him terrific blow on the side of the head with railroad fish plate bar about eighteen inches long, an inch and a half wide and half inch thick. The victim dropped behind the counter and has re- manned senseless ever since. Just as the deed was done the grocery delivery wagon drove up, the clerk came in, and the villain fled through the back door The clerk gave chase through a number of streets and alleys, and the pursued sought refuge in the rear door of 8 downtown saloon, when he stripped off his coat and forcibly exchanged hats with a man inside and started out the front way. He was stopped by policeman and is now in jail Mir. James will undoubtedly die. There have been several such cases here re- cently-three within the last week. Now that the guilty party is caught there is loud talk of lynching him.
 At ten o CLOCK the fumOr that MT. James was dying caused great excitement. Pre- v1ously there had been knots of anxious peo- pie gathered in various localities earnestly discussing the enormity of the crime com. mitted and the expectancy of letting justice be done without the formality of law. So pronounced had these demonstrations become that at nine o'clock the city authorities closed the saloons, hoping to still the tide of excitement. This turned the idle populace upon the streets, and they commenced to gather around the court house where the prisoner had been confined. Probably thousand determined men had collected there by ten o'clock. Shortly thereafter rush for the basement was made. The sheriff and deputies met the mob at the jail doors and declared that the assailant of James was not within, and offered to conduct a committee of three inside for the purpose of proving his assertions. This was finally agreed upon, and careful search of all the cells demon strated that the assailant of James had been spirited away by the officers. Their action alone prevented his hanging, but the crowd, among whom were many of the best citizens of Des Moines, declare that this is not the end that Harris, as he calls himself, must be brought there for trial, and that their op- portunity will come yet.

Melville and myself, The latest one is in the Washington Star of last evening, and the first that takes definite shape, stating under the title of Melville Danenhower' that the alleged charge of Lieutenant Danenhower that if he (Melville) had not turned back from the first search Captain Delong and his companions might have been saved. The above alleged charge has never been made by me. In the first place the facts would not admit of such charge, for when Melville turned the captains party had been dead at least fifteen days. In the second place I would never had made such chasge except to the proper official authorities. I have always avoided adverse and premature criticism of my late comrades, and will sine- ply refer to what said when confronted by half score of journalists on board the Gel tic on my arrival in New York and was pub lished in the New York Heruzd of May 29th, 1882, under the caption "A Vindication of Melville" This was caused by my learning that he had been hastily and unfairly critic ised previous to my return. My personal re- lations with Melville have been of a very pleasant character. Regretting that I have to appear in print and hoping that there will be no further necessity for it. am

 Rumors fin the Ar.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The Connecticut Republican association of the District have appointed committee to arrange with the State committee concerning transportation. Touching upon the contributions for election purposes there was warm discussion and 1t was determined that what money could be spared should go to their own State and not to the Hubbell committee.
 Assistant District Attorney Moore is care fully compiling all the papers in connection with the Star route bribery cases but no warrant will be issued until all are ready, which will not be for several days vat In this connection there is runor current that the defense are becoming very uneasy on &C., count of possible developments that had been deemed secure beyond peradventure. The ex- act nature of the disclosure is not divulged, but the rumor has for it's source an allega tion that letter has been found from 8 prominent defendant to juryman or a jury tixer expressing knowledge that uncomfort- able facts were sure to be made known be- fore the new trial begins, and advising the person addressed for his own sake and that of the writer to leave the country. The most strenuous efforts have been made to trace this runor, but they resulted only in the confirmation of the statement that the allegation of the possession of such letter is made by responsible party, and that it will be used in good time
