LAFAYETTE Oct. 4.-Anotner clew is now
being followed up in the Atkinson case.

ing at full speed towards him on the after
noon of the murder, near the Atkinson place.

Evading the Law in Washington.


A well-dressed, slick-looking darkey has
been doing a thriving business IN illicit whis-
ky of late. He makes his appearance early
in the morning and walks rapidly through
the business streets with two small hand
bags, one slung over his shoulder by strap,
in dude tourist style, and the other carried
In his hand. Whenever he sees a gang OF
workmen or laborers he makes for the
spot and very soon lets the men know that
he has few bottles of very good whisky for
sale at ridiculously low rates. He lets them
sample every bottle, and very seldom fails to
dispose of his stock whenever he tackles a
crowd. Then he slides off, replenishes his
store of moonshine poison, and tries a new
street. He travels the same route every two
or three weeks and is said to have estab-

Serious Discussions Between the Prime Min

Serious Discussions Between the Prime Min
lister and Minister of War.
LONDON, Oct. A Paris correspondent of
the Times says: 1t is now positively known
that illness was not the cause of the absence
of General Thibaudin, Minister of War; from
the reception given to King Alfonso at the
Palace Elysee on Sunday. He voluntarily
and ostentatiously held aloof from the ban
quet, so that the glaring gap oecasioned by
his absence had TO be filled by an ad interim
Minister of War. Prime Minister Ferry then
thought himself bound to inform President
Grevy of the deplorable effect of Thibaudin's
conduct in political circles and upon Euro
pean opinion. Ferry, who is backed by all
the minister's declares that General Millot
will never, with his consent, become chief of
the general staff, as the whole army acknowl-
edges that he is unfit for the post. Grevy
shares in this opinion, and if Thibaudin re-
signs the war portfolio on this question the
President will not back him. Grevy thinks
however, that Thibaudin, by enforc-
ing the measures against the Orleans
princes rendered services to the republic
which no other general would probably have
agreed to perform, and which imposes upon
the cabinet the obligation not to dismiss
MN, now that no similar service is required
OF him, There is thus a difference between
Ferry and Grevy. To this is reduced the
present difficulty. But if Grevy defends
Thibaudin he certainly will refuse to mix in
any intrigues aiming at the overthrow of
Ferry. 1t is certain that Thbaudin has re-
solved not to resign. The question will not
be settled until the Chamber of Deputies

Bos ton g. Lowell road, which will adopt the
system week later, will begin to run trains

No reason is known why she should absent
