Election Frauds.
CHICAGO, February l7.-Jeremiah ]. Sui
hvan, printer who was arrested yesterday

Der 3, bogus tickets identical with those
found in the returns. In his confession he
says this testimony was without foundation,
that he was paid BY Joseph c. Mackin for
so testifyiug, and that he never was in the
printing Office where the work is said to have
been done until February l3, when he was
taken there to look over the surrounding, so
as to be able to tell straight story. Chas.

John Roach Knocked Out by Attorney.
General Garland.

Attorney General Garland has rendered
q decision on the three points relative to
the acceptance Of the Dolphin by the gov
err ernment submitted to him by Secretary
Whitney. The attorney general holds that
the vessel cannot be accepted, that no con
tract exists between MIR. John Roacl,
and the government. and that the large
sum OF money paid to him for the vessel
may be recovered. Mr.. Garland says:
This vessel, yon inform me, has been found
to be detective in three particulars two Of
which arc fundamental; that is tos;,y first,
she does not develop the speed and power
which the contract calls for; second, she is
not stauncl and stiifenougl for the service
expected OF her, and, THIRD, the general
character OF her workmanship does not
come up to the requriments OF the contract
as TO the detects in the matter of speed.
Continuing at considerable length and
citing prominent cases in support OF his ar
gumcnts, Mr.. Garland concludes: 1t fol.
lows, then, that no contract exists between
MIR. Roach and the United States, and
large sums OF money which have been paid
Mr.. Roach have passed into his hands
without authority OF law, and are
heM by him as so much money
held and received to the use Of
the United States and may be recovered
from him, and not only so, but the money
thus laid him by officials holding IL judici-
AIRY relation to the government having gone
into the ship Dolphin, a court ofeuuity will
follow 1t there and for that purpose enter.
tain proceeding against the ship itself. In
support of this position need do no more
than cite the recent decision OF the supreme
court of the United States in thccasc of Ma.
tlonal bank VS.. Insurance company.

ALivelx p.ri.tsn Tragedy.

Paris is excited over horrible boulevard
tragedy. The architect Caudray, although
married and having children, maintained u
liaison with MINNIE. Bcssicr, wife OF u shop.
keeper on the Boulevard Voltaire, and who
had IN ainiablc husband and dutiful daugh-
ter. They quarreled, and, during the shop
keepers absence from the place ofbusiness,
Caudray called on Nine. Bessicr and with
pistol shot her dead. He then ended his
own life by putting bullet through his
heart. Bcssicr soon aiterwartl returned to
his shop and stumbled over the dead. He
had never believed the story lie had heard
OF his wifc's inlidclity, and the revelation
came upon him SO suddenly that his mind
broke down and he fled from the scene Il
raving maniac, yelling his shame up and
down the Boulevard Voltairc. Policemen
finally ovcrpowcrcd him. The corpses were
taken away from the shop. Noliving person
knows why the suicide killed his mistress.
It is thought that Bessicr will never recover
his sanity.
