What the Receipt. for October Show
Inrae-per.cent Bonds and Baukers.


.Inrse-per.eent Bonds aud Baukers.
WASHINGTON, October 20.-The effect ol
the first two calls for three -per-cents is such
as TO offer the banks but slight encourage
ment to buy these bonds and deposit them
as pledge for their circulating notes Al
ready there Is talk among Treasury officials
OF another call Of three-per-cents before
the end OF the year, and the receipts from
customs and internal taxation since the be-
ginning Of October seem to Justify talk OF
that sort. While the customs receipts for
the lest month showed a falling off OF S..
$50, ,794, aud the internal revenue receipts
showed q decrease OF S3,2SS,7l7, as com.
pared with September, 1882, the customs
receipts for the last eighteen days show a
decrease of only $50, $3.50, IS compared with
tho corresponding period oil las, year, and
the internal revenue receipts are greater by
S24,3Sl. Tho recsip's from miscellaneous
sources were ST l,2S0Sl5 more than for the
first eighteen days Of last October, the in.
crease in this item being mainly from pro-
fits on coinage.
In other words, the revenue, SO, 0,050, ,264,
OF the Government for the fist eight, Gu
days in October, 1888, exceeded by 81 ,2l5,.
100 the revenue, Slss54, 1904, for the first
eighteen days in October. 1852. The Treas.
ury officials will not be able 10 make an
estimate Of the receipts Tor the present fiscal
year until about the middle Of November.
The returns from the remote Custom
houses will not be received until that tine.
Although the receipts have been large thus
far, the officials say that they are not nec-
eaaarily fiir guide to the receiptS of the
would explain large income for the first
quarter which might not exist afterwards.
The Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
will make his estimates on the returns for
the frst three months Of the fiscai year,
July, August and September, and not in
cIude October, as has been the previous
custom with the Internal Revenue office.

John L. Sullivan, Herbert @. slade and
the rest Of the sparring combination which

give q series Of exhibitions Of scientific and
hard hitting at Charlie shay's Academy Of
Music this evening. Already about all the
seats have been reserved in advance. A
general and deep interest Is felt in the ex-
hibition. An impression became current
in some way that the party would arrive
last night, and large crowd gathered in
the Mcclure house lobby and waited till
q late hour eager to catch q
glimpse OF the champion and
his companions. They did not come,
however, and some Of the boys made life a

newcomer, "Thats him."
The hall will be crowded this evening,
and no doubt the exhibition will please

relations with Mr.. Prince are very much
closer declare that under no circumstances

Governor and bis political friends have
been assured Of this fact in q manner not

Democracy in Massachusetts, OF which Mr..

A Servant Girl Killed by Her Former
Employer.

LINCOLN, Ill, October 2o-Zora Burns
whe had been employed as domestic in
the family Of orin A. Carpenter, a prom
inent and wealthy citizen Of this city, wai
found dead near the outskirts Of this city
oneweek ago, her body bearing all the evi.
dences Of desperate murder. Her throa,
had been cut from ear 10 ear, her skull
crushed in, and her arms bore evidence
that she had furious struggle with her as
sailsnt.
Ever since the discovery OF her body the
entire community has aided the detectives
In the search for her murderer. II was
learned that she had been engaged to a
young farmer named Dukes, and suspicion
pointed somewhat toward him, but in the
past two days chain OF apparently crimi.
mating circumstances has been wound
around her former employer, Carpenter,
which resulted in his arrest this afternoon.
Investigation disclosed that Fora left his
employ and returned to the home OF her
father, in q. village near Lincoln, and on
the day preceding her death came to the
city and paid visit to Carpenter's Office,
remaining with him an hour alone. He
was the only person she visited 80 far az
known while here. As to the nature OF
her visit, Carpenter related q story which is
plainly denied by the facts subsequently
disclosed. 1t was also discovered that the
dead girl was enceinte, and the testimony
OF various parties tended TO show that he
had supplied the girl with money and had
written her yarions letters.
The bartender OF the Nolte House here
testifes that Carpenter purchased from him
a hall pint Of whisky on the day Of the
murder. The examination Of Carpenter's
buggy to-day disclosed that the cushion,
lines and shafts were plainly marked with
blood, and on this discovery warrant was
Immediately swern out for his arrest. He
was followed to Jail by large and excited
crowd. The accused Is credited with being
the wealtbiest resident Of Lincoln, owning
a large grain elevator here, farm near the
city and other property. He has wife
and two daughters.

graphs the following Night before last The
Russian police at Kertch made an attempt
to arrest the chief Of !. band Of Pimies,

fact that not only the great bulk Of the!

THR VOTE AGAINST TIE AMENDMENT.
The vote against the amendment came
mainly from three large blocks Of counties.
One block OF eighteen counties lies against
the western border Of the State, reaching
from Cincinnati TO Toledo. Attached 10 it,
wing OF six opposing counties reaches
down to Sandusky and Mansfield. An
other block OF seven counties reaches
south from Cleveland to youngstown and
beyond Alliance. A third Of ten counties
includes Licking and MuBkingum east Of
Columbus, and the line OF counties between
Columbus aud Portsmouth and Ironton.
Two other counties on the 0hio-Washing-
ton, which includes Marietta, and Monroe,
the adjoining eounty-voted against the
amendment. But these are in all only
iorty.three counties, in which the opposing
and blank votes outnumbered the affirm
ative votes. A msjority Of the counties in

votes cast by them for State Offices.
Among the counties voting Tor Prohibl-
ton, too, are eleven that gave ma 9rities for
Hancock in 1880, while among those CIV
ing majorities against Prohibition are
eighteen that gave maioritfes for Garfield.
Evidently the Prohibition vote was drawn
in part from both parties, and the CoH'Me1-

was cast by Democrats.
CINCINNATI, October .20-The total vote
cast in Hamilton county was 6O,3S6; for

ed with spectators watching the scrub
races OF Harvard on the Charles river,
broke down, and several persons were
seriously injured, having legs and arms
broken. Most Of the injured are Harvard
men. A student named Mead, OF South
Bostsu, of the class Of 'S7, had his skull
fractured and both legs broken, aud will
probably die. The injuries Of nine otheri
are principally fractures Of limbs.
The crews were getting into line for the
start. About one hundred and fifty stu.
dents had crowded to the front two bal.
comics, which stand out from the river front
OF the Harvard boat.house, about an equal
number on each balcony, all pressing for.
ward to see the race, when both balconies
gave way, precipitGting many into the river,
while many others standing on the lower
balcony were piuioned down and bruised
by the fall Of the upper balcony upon them.
Fortunately there was but halttide, 60
that those who fell into the river escaped
with u wetting. AS quickly az possible the
upper platform was raised and several men
were released in a more or less injured
condition, and carried into the boat.house.
Physicians sent for promptly responded.
Most Of those seriously injured are hurt
internally. Their names, so far as ascertain
ed, are: J.A. White, Senior, Williamsport,
Pa, internally injured; E. Il. Allen, Fresh.
man, Cambridge, internally and srm broken;
O. I. Hardwick, Junior, Quincy, internally
L. P. Frost, Sophomore, Boston, injured

back bruised; Geo. A. Stewart, Senior,
South Boston, knee sprained and bruised
about the head; Charles S. Hamlin, Glass
OF 'S3, grandson Of Hannibal Hamlin, Bos-
ton, bruised about the head. The others
were less injured, and able to take care OF
themselves, but these named were con-
veyCd to their rooms in carriages. The
