THE BANDIT OF THE WABASH.

Frank Rande, the Red-Handed Desperate
Confined in the Penitentiary at Joliet, lll.s
Makes a Murderous Assault on the Dep
uty Warden, Innioting Probably Fatal
Wounds, a nd is Himself Badly Wounded.
JOLIET, ILL.,, March 3.
A murderous assault was made upon
CaptainJ Ohm Mcdonald, Deputy Warden of
the Penitentiary here, Saturday afternoon.
The assassin was the notorious desperate
Frank Rande. Deputy Mcdonald, in 60
ing his rounds, entered the collar shop
where Rande works. As customary Nc
Donald stopped at the desk of Keeper
Madden to receive his report. While the
deputy was talking with the keeper
Rande snapped his finger at his keeper.
and raised his hand, giving sign for Il.
request to go to the closet. Madden
nodded assent and resumed his CONVERSE
ton with the Deputy whose back was
turned toward Rande. The keeper also
turned his back to Rande to give an or
der to another convict.
DESPERATE ASSAULT.
Rande crossed the room, picked up q.
heavy iroN poker three feet long and
rushed on Deputy Mcdonald, striking
ing in his skull. Mcdonald dropped
senseless. Rande shouted: 81 have
killed the - - at last" and drew
large knife. Keeper Madden rushed upon
Rande and received terrible cash in the
arm, but held Rande until two convictS
named Demolin and Roab came to his as
sistance, and Rande was hurled violently
to the floor. Hearing the alarm, Assist
ant Deputy Warden Garvin and Keeper
Ed Mcdonald, brother of the attacked
Deputy, rushed in. The convict Roab
was on top of Rande, and had the life
| nearly choked out of him when GarVln
ordered him off. Roab begged to be al
| lowed to choke him to death. Rande,
rising, staggered toward the door, made
a quick lunge, grabbing knife from
the table, turned and desperately at
tackled Deputy Garvin, who broke heavy
cane over Randes head, cutting him ter
ribly.
Pulling his revolver, Garvin shot Rande
in the side. He then grabbed the convict
by the throat. While holding him thus
Keeper Mcdonald frantically drew re-
yolver, placed the muzzle at Rande's right
ear and fired. Rande dropped.
DEPUTY Mcdonald and Rande were CAT
ried to the hospital. Examination showed
that McDonald's skull is terribly crushed.
| Pieces of the skull were removed, leaving
the brain exposed two inches long and
one wide.
Rande was unconscious long time.
Not knowing how dangerously ne was
wounded, ON recovering consciousness
Rande said: "I am Jesus Christ, and
was sent to rid this prison OF that cruel
deputy. l think have done it," Rande
continued: 81 left broad trail of blood
all the way to the prison when came
here To do so killed nine men; this il
my tenth"
The latest information of the condition
of Rande and his victim seems to indicat,
that both men may recover. The doctors
have not yet succeeded in locating tn,
bullet in the bandits head.

Another Pool.

Chicago, January 23.-Representa-
tives Of the roads and parties to the
new western railway alliance, namely,
the Union Pacific, Rock Island,
Milwaukee j. st. Paul and
Northwestern and Wabash, held a pre-
iminary conference with the officials
of the Burlington road this afternoon,
to ascertain the position of the latter
company upon a proposition to pool all
competitive business west of the Mis-
souri, river.
The meeting adjourned without &C
ton until 10 O'Clock tomorrow, when
a statement as to the tonnage carried
by the several roads for the past year
will be ready for the information of
parties interested, SO as to determine
the basis upon which a pool can be
~equitably formed. 1t is now under
stood that the Burlington road ia will
ling to become a party to the pool,
with its line on one side and the Union
Pacific and its Omaha allies on the
other, provided its ideas OF percentage
and territory is adopted. No forecast
as to the probable outcome is possible,
as the demands of the Burlington are
not made public. General Manager
Clark, of the Union Pacific, was unable
to be present, owing to sickness. The
road was represented by General Freight
Agent Shelby.

Hancook's Views.

st. Louis, January 23.-General
Hancock, on his return from California
and tho southwest, says:
~ have had a delightful time among
the soldiers of the southwest. aud L
find the army 10 a splendid condition.
"Do 1 think the next president will
be a democratp
II certainly do, unless the party
commits greater blunders than can
possibly be anticipated. The tariff
question is coming up again and it is
destined to cut a broad figure in the
political campaign. L think Carlisle is
going to make himself the greatest
speaker OF the house, and his tariff
views will undoubtedly become the
democratic party platform. Yes, there
is every reason to believe we shall win
this time"
General Hancock has visited nearly
all the army headquarters in Texas and
Arkansas, remaining several weeks
in each state. He will make a call
upon General Sherman and family this
afternoon, in order to pay his respects
to the old commander, and will con-
tinue his journey eastward this even

New York, January 23.-General
Grant has written a letter to the Wash
lngton Star relative to the Mexican
treaty, it having been published that
he, as United States commissioner, had
identical personal interests in Mexico
which would be benefited by the pass
age of the Mexican treaty. General
Grant says:
"Mr. Romero and myself never had
In u lives any pecuniary transaction
or transactions of any kind. Since the
close Of our rebellion and the expulsion
of Maximillion from Mexico there has
been warm sympathy between Romero
and myself, our views being coincident
as to the relations that ought to exist
between Mexico and the United States.
We have both devoted much time to
bringing about more intimate relations
between the two republics, and entirely
g~ratuitously on our part. l myself
have no pecuniary interest in any i'm
provements which are taking place in
Mexico with American capital, but
take great interest in their success. 1
believe its ratification would be a great
step toward establishing those relations
between the two contiguous republics
which ought to exist, and would be of
mutual advantage"
General Grant says the argument
used that under the treaty 1t would be
an easy matter to ship Cuban sugar to
Mexico and reship it from Mexico, thus
evsding the duties, is untensble, be-
cause Mexico has a higher tariff upon
sugar than the United States, and that
1t is only crude sugar which is admitted
free under the treaty, and the differ
ence between Cuban raw sugar and
Mexican raw sugar is so great that it
would not even require an expert to tell
the difference.
The general says he is writing from a
sick bed and house, and cannot go into
details. He says he has spent thous-
ands of dollars Of his own money and q
great deal of time to advance the de-
velopment of Mexico by United States
capital and by American influence. He
has no pecuniary interest in the coun-
try, save as a subscriber to a railroad
which lies wholly to the south of the
City Of Mexico, and the success of
which is very doubtful in these times,
when it is 30 difficult to raise capital
for any such enterprise.

Leavenworth, January 2~3.-Informa-
ton has been received from Washing
ton that Senator Ingalls, has been
appointed to fill Judge McCrary's place
In the United States circuit bench, if
it can be arranged with Governor
Click, who is a democrat, to appoint a
suitable successor to fill Ingalls, place.
Click will say nothing in the matter
beyond the fact that he will not COM
nit himself. Should Ingalls, be ap-
pointed and the governor appoint a
democrat to fill the vacancy it would
leave the senate a tie between the
republicans and democrats, with
Malone holding the balance of power.
This being the situation it is not
thought that President Arthur will
appoint ingalls,, still it is asserted that
very strong pressure is being brought
to bear in favor of ingalls,.

The opium Dem swindIe.

Oncle Dill III CulcaBO herhlQ.
One Of the many men who are swindled In
a manner which effectually prevents them,
for shame's sake, from appearing publicly as
prosecutors of the ~swindlers, made a discovery
of this fact In New York amusements, and
told the police about it, quite confdentially,
in the forlorn hope that they could recover
his money without publicity.
"I am a Wall street broker and no green
horn" he is reported by a detective to nave
said; "but l was taken in without their half
trying. l was drinking rather too careIessly
the other evening, both as to amount and
companionship. Somehow or other, a brisk,
well-dressed young fellow got on familiar
terms with me. Along after midnight he led
me to talking about opium dens, and he as
serted as fact that ladies of wealth and
refinement went to them. l didn't believe 1t.
He could convince me il l would go with
him. / went. The place that he took me to
answered the bill, forit was luxurious enough;
and, sure as life, there were the ladies, several
of them, in fashionable attire, with gentle
ways and handsome faces. They went
through all the motions of smoking opium, of
getting recklessly unconventional under the
influence of the drug, and finally Of dropping
off into Inconsistencies l am mighty sure

While 1 am discussing Tilden's books aud
what will become of them when he Is done
with them, l will add that a more interest
ing question than this to many Of Tflden's
friends is the Ultimate disposal OF his wines.
The Tilden wine cellar is a storehouse
of the mellowest and finest juices that eyer
ripened on the slopes of the Rhine. Rhenish
is the pet weakness of the sage of Gram
Grey park, and thrilling stories are told Of
his stores OF matches vintages. The finest
of these are brought out only on very rare
occasions. There are a few men in the world
who are sufficiently near to the old mans
heart to have a sip of the famous Stein
berger, cabinet or imperial Toquay that
slumber in his cellars. A bookyyorn who
has wines ripening with himself, although he
may be Il canny politician, and sven a selfish
man, cannot be altogether juiceless.
