Tortured and robbed hv Thieves.

WHEELING, W. Va, Dec. 23-That an organ.
lied gang of thieves is working this city is evil
dent from the fact that another successful
burglary was committed on Monday night, five
miles from the city, by which farmer was
cruelty beaten and robbed of $105. This, oc-
curing so soon after the Workenower robbery,
gives color to the suspicion that the professionals
are assisted by home talent The last robbery
occurred on Monday night, at the house of
Elijah Marling, bachelor farmer, residing FIVE
miles from the city, on the Bethany pike. The
house was entered by four masked men Maring
living alone the thieves had things their own

fusing to tell where bis money was, he was
cruelty beaten; again refusing, tho robbers

sufferings compelled him to divulge the hiding

A Series of ASSIGNMENTS.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 23.-A Green Bay
special to the Sentinel says an assignment to
Jas. Fl. Elmore was made with the clerk of the
court by the firms of j. & J. H. Delaney,
clothing and furnishing merchants, Fort How
ard, with branch establishment at Hancock,
Mich; j. Delaney & Co, foundry and machine
shop, Fort Howard, and VIM. Delaney & Son,
foundry and machne-shop at .Ledyard The
total liabilities are stated at So, 600, and the
assets at about $50, 900. The assets and liabil-
tiles are divided about as follows: J. & J. H.
Delaney, assets, $l6OOO besides stock worth So,
900; liabilities, 49, $50. j. Delaney & Son, Ledyard,

Co., assets about Sc, 600, liabilities, So, 900.

The cause of the failure is alleged to be the ma
turing of considerable paper which could not be
met, and the disposition of one of the creditors
to press his claim The heaviest, creditors are
in Milwaukee, Chicago and New York. The as
signee has filed his bond and taken possession of
the several establishments, which will be kept
in operation. Should unanimous extension be
granted by the creditors, to which end an effort
will be made, the firms will resume business,
with the expectation of pulling through and pay
ing in full

The Explosion the Result of Carelessness-
Unmerciful Chatting of the Police.
LONDON, Dec. 23-The scare over the sup
posed dynamite explosion at Windsor was sue
ceeded by universal hilarity when it became
known that the explosion and fire were simply
the result of carelessness and not the work of
dynamite iends. The police have been unmer-
cifully chaffed for their blunder and their alarm
ist theories, and Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
the Home Secretary, has come in for good
share of ridicule in consequence of the nervous
trepdation which he displayed. The police as
usual, were the very last to be convinced that
they had bluudered, They maintained
that it was plot against the Queens
castle, if not against her life, and
the extraordinary precautions which were or
dered yesterday by the Home Office W ere con-
tinued without relaxation The Queen herself
became alarmed by the accounts of the explo-
sion which reached her at Osborne House, Isle
of Wight, where her Majesty and Princess
Beatrice are now residing. The Queen sent
several urgent inquiries by telegraph to the
Home Office for the latest details concer ming
the supposed outrage, and the Home S ecretary
is said to have found it difficult to convince her
Majesty that the occurrence was accidental.
Inc mystery or the alleged internal machine
was cleared up by a reporter who had been sent
from London to Windsor TO investigate the case.
He was not allowed to see the suspicious" arti
cles found among the debris of the fire,
and was compelled to rely upon the de-
scriptions given by the police. He OBJ
tanned a sight of the apparatus which
the police had described as piece of American
clock work, and he remembered having seen sim
liar pieces Of mechanism in connection with fish
ing rods He visited the shops of the different
dealers in fishing tackle in Windsor and asked
them if they had been expecting any reels by
rail from London. One of the local dealers re-
piled that he had ordered few samples of a
newly patented automatic reel or vince, and
had been surprised at their non arrival. The
dealer was at once invited to inspect the 'in-
fernal machine found after the fire at the sta
ton, and he quickly recognized its parts as his
missing winces though in badly wrecked con
ditiep. At the Same time it was discovered that
tho mysterious foreigner" who had been seen
at the pos totfice and the railway station was a
harmless tourist, whose visits to those places
had been prompted solely by curiosity. At this
point the police abandoned their theory of a dyn
amite outrage, and some of the extra precau-
tionS were relaxed.

BUSINESS AND WAGES.
The National Tube Works Shuts Down for
an Indefinite Period.


P1TTsBURG, Dec 23.-This afternoon the en-
ployes of the National Tube Works Company,
at McKeesport, Pa, were notified that the va
rious departments would close down to omorrow
evening for an indefinite period. The assistant
general manager, E. G. Converse, in an inter
view, stated that scarcity of orders was the only
reason for the suspension. He was un-
able to say when the works would
resume, as the outlook was very unfavor-
able He hoped however, that a few
days, or weeks at furthest would warrant re-
sumption. Trade at present was very dull, and
for some days the force had been utilized in
turning out material for the companys own use,
in order to keep the works in operation. The
suspension will throw out of employment over
9, 600 men and will withdraw from McKeesport a
trade of about $1,000 600 month, which was paid
to and spent by the employees
Dilworth, Porter & Co S spike works will shut
down to morrow for an indefinite period. A
lack of orders is given as the reason for the sus-
pension.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23-Will1am j. Gallagher,
under indictment here for alleged participation
in the Eighteenth ward election frauds, was ar
rested this afternoon for alleged forgery, com
mitted in Philadelphia. The district attorney
here objected to removal of Gallagher, and n
order of the federal court was issued directing
that he remain in the custody of the marshal
here pending his trial. The warrant of the fed
eral court was served upon the detectives who
had Gallaher under arrest, but they refused to
deliver him, showing warrant from the Coy
ernor of Illinois, issued on requisition of the
Governor of Pennsylvania, as the papers under
which they held him. This was reported to
Judge Blodgett, of the federal court, who de-
clined to take further action. Later in the day,
Gallagher's attorney and his bondsmen went be-
fore Judge Williamson of one of the State
courts and represented that Gallagher was be-
ing wrongfully held. Judge Williamson issued
writ of habeas corpus, returnable tomorrow.
Legal opinion seems to be that Gallagher is
properly under arrest, and will have to go to
Philadelphia. His handwriting in the alleged
forged notes and in his letters have been com
pared with that in the forged tally-sheer, and
they are pronounced Identical
