GnemocrntI0 Legislature.
COLUMBUS, o., September l5.-There are
strong indications that the Democratic
mauagers have abandoned lIoadly and the
S ate ticket and are making their fight to
secure the Legislature. This is evidenced
by the liberal manner in which Mr.. R'ok-
walter liz purchasing Democratic Conyen.
tIops aud nopipltions, and putting up
money to secure the election OF candidates
for mem bers Of the General Assembly who
are in favor Of his Royal Highness for U. S.
Senator 4 Springfield gentleman said the
other day thHt it was given out on pretty
good authority that Bookwalter took 5000
to Cincinnati in one pile just before the
so-called Highland House Convention was
held. How much oi his money found its
way there before, and how much has
travelled the game route since, could not be
asceY!aiued. He further remarked that
Mr.. Bookwalter was credited With saying
not great while ago, that he was not ac-
lively engsgcd in politics at that time, but
that he might spend about $4,000 q year
for political amusement. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Bookwalter is alone in the world
and has no one to leave his immense for
tune to. He ha5 an income OF $4,000
per year ;or more, and is well heeled.
The gentleman in question had no doubt
that Mr.. Bookwaller would not
hesitate to put up hall million Of dollars
to secure seat in the y. S. Senate. ltis
as we'll known rs anything that Bookwalter
is in the Senatorial fight to stay. he has
no lave for George Il. Pendleton. The
Democratic managers have no hope Of car.
rying the State. They think they haye q
fphtipg chance Of carrying the Legislature,
aud therefore their energies viii be heptin
that direction. Hoadly and the State

nothing for Democratic success. They are
using the voters as go many automatons to

CHICAGO, September l5.-Repors frem
the National Park Improvement Company
are anything but creditable to that corpo-
ration. Hardly day passes but some
hard-handed son OF toll with sore feet and
hungry stomach does not walk in from the
West or climb out OF box car, shake the
dust from his raggad clothes and anthema.
tizs the National Park Improvement Com.
pany aud the Northern Pacific railroad.
W. B. Lamden, "a civil and mechanical epgi.
neer, to-day on his return from the Park
was interviewed on the stale Of things in
that region. Mr.. Lamden SAYS he was EN-.
ployed by the Improvement Company five
weeks ago to lay out town site in the
Park at the terminus of the branch road Of
the North Pacific Lamden then went out
with men to do the work. He, with his
assistants, worked at the surveying and
plotting Of the town site about four weeks.
At the end OF that time he had the maps
finished and presented his bill TO
an official who promptly refused TO pay it
giving ior his reason that he could get no
title to the land which had been surveyed
and plated from the government, and it
was consequently OF no benefit to him and
told IAmden to get his psy II he could.
This somewhat surprised the latter gentle
msn, who, as the bill amounted to over
$500, did not propose to give it up 30 easily,
and as the eight men he had employed
we're waiting for their money and were
pressing him for it's immediate payment.
FORCED TO DIsGoRor.
The mon, however, kept an eye on the
affairs, and one day finding him with
some money in his possession forced $500
out OF him under threats Of a pummeling.
OF this sum the employees OF Lamden re-
fased to take any part, as he had family
and 1t was necessary for him 10 return
home, but they said they would stay
there, and II the official didn't rem
der the balance due it would 60
hard with him. Lamden says no.
body in that country places confidence in
the company and the banks at Livingston
and Mills City, and neighboring towns,
absolutely refuse TO handle their paper or
to transact any business with them. Life
in the park, he claims, is not the pleasure
and romance 1t is pictured. During his
stay there he saw several men shot, one
strung up to a tree and several as.
saulted. He never slept without
brace OF seven.shooters by his side,
and his wardrobe and library was con-
siderably depleted by robbers. 1t is
a general complaint that the railroad ad.

and when they get there they arc out OF
money, and, the company taking advan-

them barely enough to keep them alive,
and they are obliged to stay or walk four
or five hundred miles to where they can
find employment" ,..a.,

BOGUS I,.LIOIr STILLS.

Caroline.

CotulIsIA, s. O., September l6.-The dis
patches sent from this city by special cor
respondents, which resulted in the sending
out Of special agent from Washington to
investigate the charges, will bring
forth good fruit. As an illustra-
ton, a deputy collector raided
distillery in the mountains q few days
ago and made big haul, but the still, cap
and worm were brought to Greenville, and
not destroyed at the place Of capture. The
special agent has arrived and begun

A NEW DIS rNEss Ann SIGNAL CODE.
A New Code Published at wAshipgton,
RItlt Instructions,

With Instructions.
New YoRK, September ia new dis.
tress and storm signal code, for signal ser.
vice in sou coast stations has Just been
published by the chief officer at Washing
ton, with full instruction for day and for
night signaling 1t also contains chart
Of tho lie saving service, day and night
signal code, with Instructions. This system
has been long needed. The flag system, as
It Is well known, has been in use number
OF years, but it never has been arranged in
such form as to be useful for signalling
between stations on the shore and vessels
at sea. The night signal system OF this
code, rs adopted by tue service, Is the in
yention OF Bssjamin L. Coston, whose
widow perfected the same for use in our
navy during the war. His son. William
i, CoStou, has introduced 1t In wider
ield, viz; in commercial as well as naval
marine. -.
By means OF this the night slgual code
and the Costou night signals have been
adap.ed to the Signals oil the inter
national code. In using these lights the
letters Of the International code are made
by burning single or combined light cor
responding to the letter. Intervals OF twenty
seconds will be laade between the leiteTn
Of any combination, and an interval OF
one minute between the combinations
where more than one Is required to signal
any message.

GERHARD IN PARIS,
SIN Pnrsuing Mrs. I.angtry and Acquir.
ing n European Reputation.


ing n European Reputation.
PARIS, September 15.-American and
English residents Of the French capital
take the same languid sort oil interest in
Mrs. Lily Lsngtry and her wealthy New
York admirer as the newspaper readers on
the opposite side Of the ocean. Through
the industry Of the wide-awake conespon-
dents Of the newspapers the doing Of Mrs.
Langtry up to the time Of her departure
from the United States were made known
here, and at that time 1t was announced
by cable that Mr.. Gebhard had not sailed
on the same ship with the lady to whom
his attentions had been so marked, and,
moreover, that the gentleman bad apnopR.
ced his determination 10 remain in Amer
lea during the temporary abser ce OF the
jersey Lily from that hospita6le land. But
there were many persons here and in Lon
don who fully expected that Mr.. Gebhard
would turn up suddenly in the walks Of the
Lily, and some surprise was expressed
that no tidings were heard OF him during
Mrs. LaHgtry's stay in England or while
she was making her professional tour OF
Scotland. The other day Mrs. Lang
try arrived at the French capital along
with her retinue, with the intention Of
perfecting herself in the dramatic art under
ihe guidance Of the veteran Professor OF
acting, NJ. Rsgnier. Her retinue was
smaller when she first came than 1t was
during her American tour, but II has at
length been increased to its normal siye by
the appearance Of the devoted Mr.. Freder-
ick Gebhardt who has suddenly, but, as
intimated above, not unexpectedly, arrived
in Paris. Whether he, too, intends to
study for the stage under N. Regnier is not
yet known but the newspaper writers have
already begun to evince great interest in
the English beauty and the millionaire
American, and it is likely that young Mr..
Gebhard will succeed in bis evident at
tempt to acquire European reputation.
