WARRANT QUIT.

Tho Perkins Shooting Case-Talcott
 Among the Missing.
 Great indignation is expressed in Walling- ford over the way that Roland Talcott, who. according to Walter Perkins, WAS the one who did the shooting, was allowed to slip away. It seems that Perkins statement was made known to the authorities on Sat urdsy. A warrant was not issued until Monday night at 9 o'clock, and at that time Talcott had escaped He has not been seen since. It is now stated that the party went to back parlor in the City Hotel, Meriden, that evening and the two young ladies, Fan nie Smith and Hattie Lane, drank sherry wine and the men whisky. One of the fe- males is only 15 years old. It is denied, however, by the relatives of Perkins that this was the case. Perkins continues to i'm prove and it is now thought will be out in the course of week or ten days. Some think that Talcott has gone to Canada where it is supposed an uncle of his is living.

Healey reports that the villages at St. Law renee were with one exception found unin-
 habited, the decaying bodies of the former residents lying on the ground and in the huts. The cause of depopulation continues mystery. At the one village still inhabited the natives seemed prosperous and happy; the abolition of the liquor traffic being as- signed as the cause of their well being.
 The Failure of Tanker Tn ompson.
 ROCKFORD, H., Sept 16.-The suspension of MT. N. c. Thompson, the banker and manufacturer, which was announced in yesterday dispatches, has caused less excite ment and disturbance of business than could have been anticipated. MT. Thompson's proposition to pay his unsecured creditors fifty per cent. of their claims in the stock of the N. c. Thompson Manufacturing com pany seems to meet with general favor and IS regarded as the best course to pursue.
 By so doing the assets will be saved from the waste and loss of legal proceedings. The list of liabilities is not yet complete but it is certain they are materially less than at first expected. The amount of the total debts will not exceed $500, 900. MT. Thompson has turned everything over for the benefit of his credit ors-eyen his real estate and personal prop erty-and it is said that at fair valuation they considerably 8. exceed the debts. It is learned that MT. Thompson owes Singer, Nimick & Co.,, of Pittsburg, a large sum. The preferred creditors are talk ing the fifty per cent. of stock and MT. Thompson's notes for the balance of their claims. It is said there was close to s150,- 900 deposited by farmers in the Scotch set dement's alone. As yet the farmers have not aseertained the fact of the failure. When they do 6 lively time will follow The other banks are not affected Only few persons have withdrawn their deposits. It is the general opinion of the public that Mir. Thompson's action in the matter is entirely honorable and there is no cause for alarm if the settlement is allowed to go on. The dis position of the heaviest creditors is to accede to the terms of settlement

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Captain Healey, commanding the revenue marine steamer Cor win, reports to the Treasury department from Port Clarence, Alaska, under date of August 1, on his return from the Arctic ocean on the way to St. Michaels, St. Law renee and Kings island, after which he will again cruise in the Arctic as far as the ice will permit. Lieutenant Hourson and two seamen have been detailed for duty at Point Hope to prevent illicit traffic between the na- tives and whaling vessels. The former ac- cumulated large quantities of whalebone which they are only too willing to trade for liquor or -breech-loading guns. It is ao- knowledged that large::quantities of liquor were taken into the Arctic regions for trad ing purposes by the whalers, but owing to the presence of revenue steamer it was nearly all thrown overheard. Captain Hea- ley suggests that the customs officers at San Francisco refuse clearance to vessels bound to Alaska carrying liquor, exceeding one half gallon or guns for trading. Captain

 CLEVELAND, O., Sept 16.-The unknown crank who was arrested last night for prowl- ing around the residence of Mrs. Garfield had 0 hearing before Judge Hutchins at the police court this morning. The usual ques tions as to name, residence, etc., were met with evasive answers. When asked whether he intended to shoot Mrs. Garfield or hurt anyone he replied that he might or might not After half an hour of useless question ing by the prosecutor Judge Hutchins took him in hand and gave him to understand that he must answer the questions and proceeded himse1fE to put some of them. The crank laughed and informed the judge that he would answer many of the questions as he liked and according to his own pleasure. The judge told the pris- oner he would commit him for contempt un. less he gave satisfactory answers, to which the crank replied, t'A1l right, commit. I would as soon be locked up as to answer any of the questions you have asked" The judge then ordered him committed for con tempt until Thursday. J. Fl. Rhodes, personal friend of the Garfelds, says he has seen the man before and that he is from an eastern city. The name he did not choose to give just at present.

Much of the distress and sickness attribu- ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stom- ach. Several cases, with all the character istics of these complaints, have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected by this medicine are so wonderful that the simplest statement of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents, and when once used secures the confidence of the people.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16.-An immense ratih- cation meeting of Prohibitionists was held at Masonic Temple tonight. About ten thou sand persons were present. The president of the meeting was Summerfeld Baldwin, who made the opening speech. The chief oration of the evening was made by Robert T. Morrison, prominent temperance advo- cate of this city. He said: ''We cannot support the Democratic candidate because he endorses the whole of the platform and talks in his letter of acceptance about legislation affecting personal rights in such a way as to intimate, without exactly saying it, that anti-temperance legislation does affect those rights improperly. This we deny. We cannot support the Republican candidates because, although the platform in a vain effort at discretion observes a total silence on the question, yet both of the can didates have committed themselves as we think to the continuance of the liquor traffic; the one proposing to apply the revenue de- rived from it to the enrichment of the States, and the other proposing to apply that reye- nue to purposes of public education, in other words, to build school house here and there to educate the boys and to license half Q dozen rum shops to destroy them"
