French company has obtained a cOnces-
sion for building a railway from Daman-
hour, about forty miles to the south of
Alexandria, to Dessook, twelve miles

project will have an adverse effect on the
public revenue, as such road would re-
duce the receipts of the State railways.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The Health Com

tion to-day that two seamen were lying

POLITICAL PICKPOCKETS.
THE STATE ASSOCIATIONS TO

Pocket Indiana.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The Blaine
managers are pushing into activity what
are known here as the State Republican
associations. They are organizing and
increasing the membership of these asso-
Citations, which are composed chiefly of
Federal officers and clerks, who are
voters in the several States. The object
and work of these bodies are essentially
political anu partisan. This is well Illus
trated by the fact that the State associa.
tions rarely hold meetings and transact
business except during political cam
paigns. Money is eXacted from
those who become members.
This money is used mostly
for campaign purposes in the circulation
OF documents and paying the railroad
fare of clerks who can in this way be in
duced to 60 home and vote. There can be
no question that the members of these
State associations are violating section IA
OF the civil service act, which provides
that no officer, clerk or other person in
the service fthe United States shall, di-
rectly or indirectly, give or hand over to
any other officer, clerk or person in the
service of the United States any money
or other valuable thing on account of or
to be applied to the promotion of any po-
litical object whatever.
If this section of the lawwere enforced
it would materially change the character
of the Republican associations which now
hold weekly meetings in this city.
LAWRENCE'S KNAYERY.
A special meeting of the Ohio Associ
alton was held tonight. 1t was called by
Judge Lawrence, the President, who Is
First Comptroller of the Treasury. The
call issued by Comptroller Lawrence con-
tains the following language:
"Ohioans wishing to avail themselves
OF the half-fare railroad rate must apply
for membership at this meeting, as the
New York Railroad Commission have
ordered the rolls closed at that date, after
which no additional names can be added.
This is the very last opportunity" This
is an ingenious device to increase at this
early date the membership and the funds
of the Ohio association. There is not the
slightest probability that clerks who de-
sire to secure half fare rates and who do
not become members of these associations
will be unable hereafter to obtain half fare
tickets. The Blaine managers will see to it
that they will have that opportunity.
Comptroller Lawrence is the leading
spirit in the Ohio association, and his
office in the Treasury is the Blame
headquarters for the department, and
he expects his clerks to be active
political workers. During the cam
paign four years ago he had Treasury
clerks mailing campaign documents from
the Treasury building. Lawrence will
soon leave for Ohio to take the stump for
Blaine.

Sheriff Taylor, of Efingham county,

the Central Railroad, yesterday morning,
! when two negroes entered, one of whom

or not.
On the way to Savannah he was told
that he might have to 90 to Camden, ;. o.,
when he remarked that he was born and
reared in Camden, and had good many
friends there.
The prisoner was securely handcutfed,
and on his arrival IN the city was at once
taken to the Jail, with quite crowd OF
negroes following from the depot.
ennett Is reported to have killed a
white man named johnson at Camden in
1879.
Immediately after the murder he left
that portion of the country. He is a coal
black negro, and is about feet 10 inches
in height, and very muscular. His face
bears a desperate expression, and he
seemed to be wholly indifferent of his ar
rest.
Early last June Sheriff Taylor arrested
in Effingham county an ugly and despe-
rate negro named Glen Nash, on the
charge OF larceny from the.hOuse. On the
way to Jail Nash inadvertently made
remark which led Mr.. Taylor to believe
that Bennett was the principal in the
lEurder of Johnson, with Nash accessory.

WORRYING OVER INDIANA.

Dudley Bound Not to go to the State
Unless New Gives Way.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The appeals
from intelligent Republicans in Indiana
to Commissioner of Pensions Dudley to
come out and try to save the Republican
party from the crushing defeat which
seems imminent became so urger that
to-day Commissioner Dudley went over to
New Yosk to consult with the Republican
National Committee about it. Mr.. Dud-
ley is willing to go to the rescue of-the
frightened Republicans of his State if he
is given absolute control of the Republi-
can campaign, for he feels sure of
his reward. But he does not propose
to divide either the responsibilities
or the honors of the canvass with John G.
New, who is the Chairman of the State
Central Committee, and the present
manager of the Republican campaign.
New must give place to Dudley, or
Dudley will remain in Washington. Now
this Is just what New will not do. He
thinks that he can manage a campaign
quite as well as Dudley, and has no idea
OF Tesigning his place without a struggle.
Meanwhile he is managing the campaign
in very inefficient way. If he continues
in his present position the Republicans
will certainly be defeated. 1t seems
probable that he will be allowed to re-
main, for he is understood to have Senator
HarrisOn's influence as against Dudley.

The three points discussed referred to

the conclusions arrived at were: First. to

in favor of cigars; second, the duty on

the cost of American and Spanish pro-

Continued Hard Luck.
PITTSBURG, PA, Sept. IA Newcas-
tie, Pa, special says: "Wallace's Saw
ings Bank closed its doors Saturday and
suspended payment. Some time ago the
bank was in trouble, and it was thought
that it would be compelled to suspend,
but at a meeting of the principal deposit
tors it was decided to give Mr.. Wallace a
chance to recover by accepting his notes
for amounts due them payable in three
years, One-third atthe expiration of each
year. Since that time he has been doing
a general banking business and was
thought to be all right. The failure last
week of the bank at jamestown, OAK,
in which his son Robert was largely in
terested, had a tendency to break the
faith of the public in the bank here. Sat-
urday the National Bank of Laurens
county filed judgment note for $1O,0
against Wallace, and as soon as this
transaction became known a rush began
and the bank was closed. The exact con-
ditiOn of Mr.. Wallace's affairs is not
known, but it is thought that his liabili-
ties will reach 100000 with no assets
worth mentioning. He disposed of near
ly all of his property at the time of the
other trouble. The statement will prob
ably be given to the public soon. 1t is

ALEXANDRIA, VA, Sept. 1.-The South

three miles from Lynchburg, bolts having
been removed from the rails by some mis-

and toppled over into a cut, but no one
was hurt. The wrecker's identity is
strongly suspected.
The train was wrecked for the purpose
of robbery. The fireman states that he
saw man jump from the bushes near the
wreck and pursued him some distance

COAL CENTRE, PA, Sept. 1.-The Sheriff

ground and as determined as ever. NeaPs
mines were not visited and the officers on
guard had a quiet time. Call was made

lists, after peaceful consultation, declined
to come out. The event of to-day was the
arrival at Courtney of a number of
Hungarians for the purpose Of going to
work at the Garfield mines. No Hungar-
ians have heretofore been employed in the
district, and their advent at this time is
regarded with concern. A camp will be
established at Courtney tomorrow to pre-
vent them from going to work. The Ope-
ratOrs say that if the strike continues
much longer Hungarians will be intro
duced in all the mines.

A RAILROADS. COMPLETION.
The Western North Carolina Announced
Completed.


Completed.
RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 1.-Col. A. B.
Andrews, President of the Western North
Carolina Railroad Company, to-day Off
cially notified the State Commissioners
that the road was completed to the mouth
of the Nantahala river, and also that the
company had made the last deposit of
$4,000 in North Carolina State bonds, as
required by the act of 1888, thus fully car
rying out their contract with the State.
The Commissioners will make their Off
cial examination of the last section of the
road on Sept. u, when there VIII be a
grand demonstration at Charleston,
Swain county, in honor of this great
work of internal improvement. The work
will be continued from the present termi-
nus on branches toward Murphy, n. c.,
and Tennessee and Georgia. There is a
universal feeling of satisfaction in this
State over the results of the sale of the
railroad, its completion insuring the de-
velOpment of the extreme western coun-
ties of the state
