WASHINGTON, October 29.-The Capital

Boston:
The eigns that Butler is TO be defeated at
the polls in the coming election are every.
where evident in this State. Any one OF q
number OF influences that are at work
against him ought to be sufficient 10 defeat
him. Yet | would not be safe to predict

absence Of great many Republicans from

say that not less than ten thousand Of these
stay at-homcs are 10 be counted for Robin

vo:y pronounced movement which has
until this week been very quiet, among the
Democratic leaders. Tho feeling against
Butler in this quarter Is almost as strong
this year as II was in 1870, when Butler

opponent, Mr.. Robinson, is making very
favorable impression, aud the people seem

ATLANTA, Ga, October 29.-Early yester
day morning Detective Jones received .
telegram from Greenville which was brief
but in its brevity thsre was abundance O
grief. 1t read.
"My daughter Mamie ran away from

she Is with Sells Circus. Will give $l0C

Immediately after reading the telegram
the detective gave the circus close inspec-
ton, and observed girl answering the
description. She disembarked with a
man, and was closely veiled, but her hair,
which hung In long plat, was enough 10
induce the detective 10 shadow them. AT
the show grounds Detective Jones saw
them enter the tent. Tho couple then
came out aud approached a carriage. After
a short consultation with the driver the
man put the girl into hack, and, alter the
hack had been driven CT, he rs-en,ered
the tent. The detective called a street
hack, and kept the carriage containing the
girl In sight, until she got out at a hotel on

Having completed the note, he studied
some time about signature, but not know
ing the mans name, he decided to try the
message as II was. Entering the hotel he
stated to the landlady that he had note
for the lady who had just come in. The
landlady showed the detective into tho
parlor, and in lew seconds the girl came
in. Detective Jones took of his hat and,
saying that he was hack driver, handed
her note, telling her gentleman out at
the show ground said "be quick" U
The girl took the note, aad as she read Il

her cloeely as sheread, and smiled when he
observed how accurately she had been de-

marked: .l'll be ready in eecond." But
as she turned her back on Mr.. Jones he
said: "Nannie Horne / want you.n
The girl gave herself completely away by
wheeling suddenly around. The detective
then showed her the telegram, and as the
