We're the Prohibitiouists Counted outq

RAvENNA, O., Oct. 24.-This is the home of
Mrs Mary A. Woodbridge, the great tenn
perance advocate, and now the president OF
the w. G. T. U. OF Ohio. Her husband Mr..
F. w. Woodbridge, has been an earnest
worker during the past campaign for the
second amendment, and. with the assistance
of other good temperance workers, succeeded
which it received. Speaking of the count,
Mr.. Woodbridge said 1--WE have evidence
to show that the most outrageous fraud was
perpetrated in making the count. especially
in Cincinnati and Cleveland. l am per-
fectly confident that majority of the votes
cast at the late election were for the second
amendment, but we have been cheated out
of them by the perfidv of anti-amendment
judges in the large cities. Mr.. Schumacher,
of Akron, stands ready to contest the count,
and if few such men with means should
combine they would be able to demonstrate.
and that very speedily, that the second
amendment is yet victorious"

he was stakeholder The alleged embezzle
ment occurred one year ago, since which
time Vermillye has been heard from in Cali.
fornia and Europe, and is supposed to have
just returned from abroad. The arrest, it is
said, is to be preliminary to other suits
against the accused, two of which have been
commenced by General William Myers, now
on the retired list of the United States army,
to recover $4,000 which Myers claims to
have entrusted to Vermilye while the latter
was in the employ of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, at ST. Paul, to invest in
town sites along the line of that road, but
from which he claims never to have recov-
cred any returns. General Myers has also

ciety has been denied the privilege not only
of circulating its Armenian version of the
Bible among the Armenian-speaking sub
jects of Russia in the Caucasus, but of even
shipping sealed cases of these Bibles through
the Caucasus to Persia. DIR. Bliss visited st.
Petersburg, and sought, through Minister
Hunt, to get these points yielded; but though
Mr.. Hunt rendered him efficient service, he
was unable to gain even the lesser of his
points. This is a discrimination against an
American publication, for the Bibles of vari-
Gus foreign societies are allowed TO be taken
into Russia. DIR. Bliss laid these facts before
Secretary Freling huysen to-day, and the Sec
rotary promised to look into the matter and
see If American publications of the Scrip
lures could not be at least as well treated in
Russia as English and other publications.

Three Children aud Mother Killed by an
Insane Father.
NEwCoMERsTowN, o., Oct. M.-Whie the
family of a carpenter named Finer were
asleep, last night, the husband and father
arose and in a fit of insanity, it is supposed,
killed his wife and three small children and
then ended his own existence. FINER re-
sided in Flyers creek valley, few miles
from here, and was last seen on Sunday even
ing, when he was very respondent because
doctor had advised him to quit
work on account of ill-health. He
seemed to lie much worried about
his family. Last night a neighbor named
Neisbaum visited the house of Finer, and
found the doors locked and curtains down.
This morning the door was forced open, when
horrible sight met the gaze of the neigh
bors who entered. On the bed in one cor
ner of the room lay the dead body of Mrs.
FINER with her throat cut from ear to ear,
while by her side was the youngest child ten
months old, cold in death, with its head
mashed. In a little crib cot on the east
side of the room lay the two Oldest children
two and four years, with their heads crushed
ln and near the north window of the room
Mr.. FINER himself lay with the side OF his
face torn off by the discharge of gun. The
mother and child on the bed were lying as if
asleep, both being covered up with quilts.
1t is supposed that brooding over his i'll
health and inability to work deranged
Finzer's mind, and that while his wife and
children were sleeping he murdered them
and then killed himself, as there is no evil
dence in the room that there was scufle.
The manner in which the father killed
himself is certainly diabolical. By his side
was an empty gun-barrel, with no hammer
on the stock He must have loaded the bar
rel and held one end in the flame of a lamp
that stood near by, and the other by his face,
and held it until it exploded from heat aud
blew his brains out.

War Department changing their commands.
This is notably the case with General Pope,
who wants to remain at Fort Leavenworth
instead of going to San Francisco He has
been telegraphing the Secretary of War ask
ing, first, that the order be suspended, and
second, upon this request being denied, that
he be allowed to assume command of the de-
partment OF the Pacific for the present, with
out going to San Francisco in person. This
request has also been denied, and now
he wants a leave of absence, the de-
partment of the Pacific in the mean
time to be under the command of
the general or acknowledgement of the
army. it is not improbable that this request
may be granted. All the changes incident
upon the retirement of General Sherman
from active command will take place next
week. General Sherman is expected here
within day or two, and soon after relieving
General Sheridan he will return to Chicago
to bring his family to their new home Two

will come with Mrs Sheridan. Although
General Sherman has fixed upon the LIST of
November as the day when he will turn over
the command of the army to Lieutenant-gen-
era Sheridan, and will at once depart for St.
Louis, his future home, he will not be for
mally placed upon the retired list until the

THE POPE's TROUBLES.

A Belief that Germany Is Friendly to Rome
The Rupture with Hohenlohe.
LONDON, Oct 24.-Cardinal Manning says
the Pope had shown thorough willingness
to meet Bismarck's advances and those of
the German government everywhere, so far
as he could do so consistently with the prin-
ciples of the church, which have been very
literally construed Cardinal Manning be-
lieves Bismarck is much more inclined to be
friendly to Rome than he has heretofore
been, and that he will accede TO any meas
ures likely to result in peaceful arrange
ment of differences
a Berlin telegram says: "The rupture be-
tween the Vatican and Cardinal Hohenlohe
is complete. The Cardinal will probably re-
main in Germany during the winter. The
National Zeitung hears that the Cardinals
sudden departure from Rome was owing to
the failure of his request for the removal of
the coadjutor in the diocese of Albania, with
whom he had every reason to be dissatisfied,
and to pecuniary troubles. The same paper
thinks the association of his departure with
pecuniary troubles is gross misrepresenta-
ton, as the Cardinal has never been a spend
thrift"

fact the rear part of it was occupied as a
hotel at the time of the fire, but its fittings
were of little value.

A Complaint that Turkey and Russia Dis
eliminate Against Americans.
Washington Special.
The Rev. Dr. Isaac G. Bliss. for twenty
five years representative of the American
Bible Society in Constantinople, had an in
terview to-day, by appointment, with the
Secretary of State. On the part of the
Secretary there was desire to get unofficial,
but none the less reliable, information re-
garding the situation of affairs in Turkey
and Bulgaria, and on the part of DR.. Bliss
there was desire for more efficient pro-
lection of American interests by the United
States ministers and consuls. 1t is under
stood that the interview was satisfactory on
both sides. The United States officials have
been very narrowly limited in regard to the
use of their influence where the religious
work of American missionaries has brought
them in conflict with the Turkish officials,
and the missionaries have been aided
more by English than American consuls. 1t
is expected now that the wish of the United
States for practical as we'll as theoretical re-
ligous liberty will be explained to the Porte
more fully than it ever has been, and that
American missionaries viii have more Off
cial backing in insisting on the rights of
themsel yes and of their employees than they
usually have received from their own con-
suls. It is also probable that American
war vessels will visit Turkish ports oftener
than they have done. There is good deal
more occasion for displaying the American
flag in Turkish than in European ports, but
the latter are much more interesting to the
officers Of the navy. There is also some
