Bishop Coke, dWestern New York,
says that during the twenty years OBJ
servation in that field there have been
some improvements in religion and mo-
rality, but the increase of iTnpiety and
infidelity is, on the whole, appalling.
1.-The most blasphemous publications
are circulated, frightful atheism is
uttered, and gross RIGHTEOUSNESS
abounds."

OF Being Arrested Himself, Although
Not Slow to Arrest Others.

CHICAGO, ILL, March l3-Joseph Po-
licka, Bohemian, forty-two years old,
and proprietor of a small dry-goods
store at No. 72l Milwaukee avenue, shot
himself through the brain this morn
ing at about seven O'Clock, in his
laboring under the fear that he was about
to be arrested for false Imprisonment in
having caused the arrest of girl
named Annie Lupsky on the
charge of stealing from his place
two worstcd jackets and four
pairs of kid gloves, An investigation was
held by Deputy Coroner Mclaughlin, at
which the wife of the suicide testified
that two weeks ago he charged Miss
LupSky with the theft of the ar
ticlcs above mentioned, and a search
warrant was sworn out, but the Off.
Ger who served it reported that he could
not find the missing articles, although the
girl had acknowledged that they were at
her house. That worried Policka, but he
said nothing to his wife about the matter,
and she had no idea that he was about to
kill himself until she heard the fatal
shot, and running into the sleeping
apartment along with servant,
found her husband lying dead on the
floor with revolver grasped in his right
hand and Il stream of blood pouring
out of the mouth, presenting a ghastly
sight to the awe-striCkCn woman. Dr.
Veno was called in, but PolCka was
past medical skill c. Kocmcr, a harness.
maker, doing business next door to Po-
licka's, testified that on Monday he ac-
companied the former to the
West Chicago Avenue Police Station
for the purpose of inquiring about
the arrest of Annie Lupsky, and aScer-
tanned that she had been released because
the stolen articles could not be found.
That information excited Polcka, and he
expressed the fear that he would be locked
up for false Imprisonment. The jury re-
turned verdict of suicide Polcka was
Il wel-to-do man, and SO far as could be
asccrtained there was no other cause for
the suicide than that above gwen.

Indignation Expressed by the Diplomatic

SUAKIM, March l3.--The rebels opened
fire on General Graham's forces at one

attack came. The men were thereupon
ordered to lie down again. The fire Of
the rebels continued all night, but the
British did not reply One officer and
two men were wounded and one man

"The camp of the enemy has been
taken after hard fighting since eight
O'Clock this morning. over seventy Brit

hundred wounded" A later dispatch
says: ''The bivouac last night was eX-
ccculn9ly unpleasant. Inc ARABS kept
up a constant fusilade until just be-
fore daybreak. The bright moonlight
rendered objects distinctly visible at
long distance, but prevented the
enemy attempting a sudden onset. The

LOCAL DEVELOPMENTS.

Only few days ago one of the clerks
employed in the Pacific Express Office
began to scratch his head over the Tiller
affair, and he had not scratched it very
long before he succeeded in scratching
out an idea. The fact that he had re-
ceptod for a telegram addressed to the
embezzler, while that person was out to
dinner, early in the week previous to the
Sunday upon which the robbery was COM
mitted flashed across his mind, and in
spired with the belief that this telegram
had some connection with Tiller'S theft,
he communicated his knowledge and be-
lief to the officers of the company Now,
Mr. Jay Gould not only controls the
Northwestern railroad system and the
Pacific Express Company, but he also
controls the Western Union Telegraph
Company. 1t was an easy matter there
fore for the men who were trying to lind
Mr. Tiler to get access to the files of
messages sent and received in the Western
Union office Every message received is
copied and the original of every message
sent is preserved. They are fled away
daily, and message sent or received last
week or last month can readily be found
The Pacific Express officers and their as.
sistants at once went to work on these
files. The clerk who reccipted for the
message was able to tell them the date
upon which the telegram was received

an old and experienced detective advised
them to make haste slowly in this matter.

he. "rhis must be Il reply to one that

Of which contained any information, but
all Of which confirmed the officers and de-
uctycs IN the belief that Tiller
and McFaddon were in correspondence in
relation to the robbery. Correspondence
was Immediately opened mp with the
authorities at sherman, and detectives
were sent down there to make the arrest.
II was discovered that McFaddcn, who
had been employed in the repair shops of
the Iron Mountain Road, had procured
leave Of absence for one month short
time before the robbery was committed.
He promised the foreman that he would
return to bis place on March 10. 1t was
learned ihlt he was from Louisville
where IIler came from-and the st.
Louis detectives found out that he and
Tiller had been very Intimate friends.
Although h. quit work on February %,
he did not leave Sherman for several
days, but remained in town and kept
away from the shopsand his associates.
The detectives, upon learning that he
had left, made up their minds that he
had

perhaps into Mexico, 1t was known to
them that he arrived in st. Louis on the
Friday previous TO the robbery, and that
he and Tilicr met and were together here
on the night of that day, and on the Sat
urday night following. 1t was believed,
therefore, that he was the man who car
ried away the va,i>e before Tillcr went
ont to take his lunch. The theory upon
which the detectives worked was that he
and Tjllcr had made their way into Mex
leo, MrIadden having planned the last
route through Texas across the Rio
Grondc and into the neighborng Repub-
li".
On Monday last, however, the detec-
dive, here received the cheering informa-
ton that McFadden had turned up in
Sherman ami was again working in the
railroad shops After a long Consuta-
ton on the best course to be pursued it
was decided by the Express officers to
try and induce McFddden to come to St.
Louis without going through the formal
lty OF securing requisitiOn. The Mar
shll of sherman was tplcgraphed to keep
a close watch on McFaddcu's movements

ever to the man Herbert who roomed
