a Hard Family,

IoNIA, Mich, Sept. 20.-Abner Aldrich,
man about 45 years of age, with his wife
and two children, one of them young man
of about 20, live on farm eight miles
northeast of this city and one mile east of
Collins station on the Detroit, Lansing Sc
Northern railroad. The family have been
for years the terror of the neighborhood
where they reside Aldrich has been az
rested for assault and threats against life
time out Of number, and never without
cause. Some time ago a judg-
ment was obtained against him in
Justices court, but no officer there would
attempt the collection, so it was brought to
tt& city and given to Constable Perry
Chapman with warning to take help with
him and look out for himself. He took
George Bradley and w. Ainslee of this city
with him, and went out there yesterday.
They found Aldrich and his twenty-year
old son loading wheat in some bags.
Chapman stepped up to the wagon where
Aldrich was and said he was an officer and
had an execution. Aldrich caught up an
axe laying in the wagon and raised it to
strike, when Chapman covered him
WITH HIS REVOLVER,
and at its muzzle compelled him to leave
the wagon, and still covering him told the
men to seize him, but before they could do
SO the young man got a rifle and opened on
Chapman and the woman was coming with
an axe. Young Aldrich fired at Ainslee,
but he missed him, and he turned and shot
at young Aidrich, who with a repeating
Spencer carbine opened fire from the house.
Bradley fell at the third shot, but was
helped away by Ainslee. Chapman was
uninjured, but finding he was alone he re-
treated. Ainslee was but slightly in
jured, but Bradley is in a preca-
riouS condition. His right arm was
amputated late in the afternoon and
he was doing as well as could be expected
A warrant was issued for the Aldrichs, the
two men and the woman, and the sheriff
and four officers went out to serve it. After
holding the officers off for hours with a rifle
they finally yielded, and at midnight were
lodged in jail. They still kept their guns
and more trouble was expected. The house
where the Aldrichs lived is boarded up and
the walls pierced for rife shooting, on the
plan of frontier FORT and is nearly as
strong. The family are armed with repeat
ing rifles, and they have for years kept off
officers after them on the plan of yesterday.

A WHISKY WAR IMMINENT.
Am Effort to Pool ira Cincinnati At
tended With Failure.
Special to the Globe.


CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 2O.-There were
no sales of whisky yesterday. Stevens.
Dair &5 Co., however, received 400 barrels
from Peoria and 1900 more are expected on
Monday from the same place. The.whisky
men held a conference yesterday. The
more determined ''spirits" wanted all to
agree to maintain the rate Of $106, buying
all that Peoria could send in at $103. AS
Peoria cannot send in over. eight hundred
barrels a week, and some Of the larger
houses claimed to have enough orders at
S1o6 to keep them busy for several
days, this seemed plausible, but some
of the members were afraid to enter
into such an arrangement and declined.
This precluded the possibility of the carry
ing out of the plan. and the meeting broke
up with the understanding, that eachashoiad
shuttle for himself. Thus bitter war.will
be inaugurated Dext Monday, compared to
which those that have taken place will
seem as child's play. Peoria's object is
stated to be to force Cincinnati whisky
men into pool at their own figures, and
they seem to have triumphed so far. The
Cincinnati men are afraid-at least some of
them are-to combine against the Peoria
crowd. No sales were recorded on Change
to-day. Next week the battle will begin in
earnest.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept 2O.-The Jail at
Camden has for a long time been consid-
cred insecure, and for this reason the
prisoners have recently been kept in their
cells and not allowed the privilege of the
corridor. The jaier is cripple, and has
been confined to his, bed for several months.
During this time his duties have been at
tended to by his daughter, Miss Gaskins,
and she has proven herself well worthy of
the trust reposed in her. Friday evening
new lot of prisoners were received at the
jail, and as the prison was already crowded
nine of them were locked up in an old cell
which had not been used for some time.
During the night one of the prisoners
managed to get out of the cell
into the corridor, and by some
means procured a piece of iron, with
which he broke the lock and released the
other eight. They Immediately commenced
prying off the bars FROM one of the win
dows and in few minutes all Of them
would have been free. At this juncture,
however, Miss Gaskins heard the noise.
The plucky woman at once picked up bar
Of iron, unlocked the outer door, and rushed
into the corridor where the prisoners were
working at the windows. She drove each
one of them back into his cell in short Or
der and kept guard at the door until the
sheriff arrived and took charge of the Jail
and manacled the prisoners, several of
whom are noted negro desperadoes, one a
convicted murderer under sentence of death.

DEEEES THE BISHOPS.
The Christian Advocate in Tss EditO-
rial Policy Causes Surprise.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-Regarding a re-
cent dispatch describing the movement to
elect the Rev. DR.. Newman to the first
available bishopric in the Methodist Epis-
copal church, the Christian Advocate con-
tains a somewhat violent denial that the
policy OF that organ Of the Methodists is
dictated by the bishops. This is from the
pen Of the Rev. DR.. Buckley, the editor,
who says the statement that he was elected
by the bishops is an error, and pointedly
ayows that he is independent of
their control. Suggestions we well
come from every source" he
says. ''but the Christian Advocate,
under its present management, has been
and will be as untrammeled a sheet as exists
i'll this world" Nothing is said as to DR..
Newman's candidacy, nor is any eXplana-
tion given why, after he had been frequently
assailed for having quit the itinerant sys-
tenn to try an independent pulpit venture,
the tone of comment on him should change
to extreme kindliness. This is the more
curious, i'll view Of the personal antagonism
that was understood to exist between
Buckley and Newman. One Of the most
fagrant Of the mining swindleS was in
dorsed in the editorial columns Of the Ad-
yocate, and thereby many poor ministers
were induced to invest their scant savings.
The newspapers gave full accounts Of the
bogus enterprise and there was great dis
turbance, but Editor Buckley satisfactorily
cleared himself of suspicion, and the
rest Of the staff proved to
have been losers with the other victims.
The attacks on Newman soon followed, and
were construed as vengeful for things he
had said about the mining affair, 1t is
certain that peace has been brought about,
and that the Book Concern influence is for
Newman in furtherance of his desire for
preferment. He is now engaged on book
about Grant, and is thereby prevented from
resuming his membership i'll the New York
conference; but it is thought that in the
next appointment he will be named for
either his old charge, the Central, or for the
new st. PauIs, which are the two larg-
est and most fashionable Methodist churches
in New York. Meanwhile Editor Buck
ley's defiance of the bishops astonishes the
clergy.

ingly the enterprises of the Cinnamon who
conduct them. The only comparable rival
OF Davis in the counterfeit money swindle
has been Barney Mcguire. Since the trag-
edy the police have given attention to Bar
ney, and the discovery is made that the saw
dust game is only one of his schemes for
robbery. An agent in disguise as a chance
visitor went into an opium smoking den
adjoining the corner of Mott
and Bayard streets, which is in the
Chinese quarters. 1t was midnight, and
the place was occupied by dozen jewellers,
but it was evident that some intoXicant
more incitive than opium had been taken
by them, for they were awake and frisky.
The place was in other respects an ordinary
Joint" with hunks for the smokers and
Chinese attendants. The carousers then
present were recognized as Bowery bank
operatives and other sorts Of thieves fami-
liar to the police. One of them carelessly
let the investigator know that champagne
had been opened by Barney Mcguire the
backer Of the caboose. A drunken man,
enticed into the trap, had been robbed and
then elected, and out of the heavy swag
Barney had ordered a symposium for
some Of his pigeons and friends
Following up this clew, it has been learned
that Mcguire owns four places that have
every look of genuine Chinese ':joints"
His scheme is to bring men in through the
enticement of fellows who pretend, like the,
victims, to be bent on seeing the peculiar
vices of the town. Pretense is made of in
quiring out the den, and of the difficulty in
gaining admission. Then they smoke, and
when the dupe is unconscious his pockets
are rif1ed. He discovers his loss on awaken
ing, but his companion pretends to have
been plundered too, and they conclude
expose them to ridicule. In this way rob-
berries have been committed in the mock
opium resorts very extensively.

Property Rights i'm Indian Territory
Special to the Globe.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 2o.-A suit
involving the right of non-reSidents to holds
property in the Cherokee nation, Indian
Territory, is being tried at Fayetteville,
Ark. The facts are these: In
November, 1884, Beard 6 Montgom-
cry of Kansas sold n. i.
Rogers nearly four hundred cattle for
81, $50, Of which sum $1,25o was paid in
cash or its equivalent. The balance waste
be paid in July and September, 1885. The
cattle were to range i'll the Cherokee ma
ton and remain in charge of William
Dodge, white man, but
citizen Of the nation, having
married a Cherokee woman. 1t appears
that in July Beard & Dodge ran off 100
head of the cattle and sold them for So, 700
to party at Coffeyyille, Kan. Meanwhile
Rogers had sold 100 head to William Ross
of Cherokee nation. A legal fight at once
commenced, and United States Indian Agent
Tufts decided the cattle belonged to
Ross. Shortly after the cattle were quietly
gathered and driven to Fayetteville, Ark,
and are now held on farm near that place,
pending settlement of the question of
ownership. The case promises to settle the
status of property rights in the Indian
country.

was all the dominic realized from his

suspension. When he arrived home a
meeting of his congregation was in pro-

pulpit and made a full and touching confes-
sion of his sin. He professed the
remorse of guilty conscience and
asked for that forgiveness which Chris

New YORK, Sept. 20.-The Marquis de
Rochef0rt has come to disaster. He is
bereft of title and money. Even this first
mention of him in print will be small COM
fort, in view Of the glittering glory of his
short career. He did not choose a high
grade of New York society to dazzle, for
he figured chiefly in Roster & BiaFs Music

false pretensiOns was Laura Burt,

trap was smooth and fashionable-looking
young man who had begun by throwing
bouquets from stage box, and who was
easily beguiled into the den. There his
reckless expenditures exceeded anything
in the history Of the house, and an elab-
crate arrangement of corks shows his ex-
peDditures of hundreds of dollars
in short period. He took Laura
Burt and other actresses on excursions
extravagantly, and once made hilarious a
journey to Niagara Falls. His plenteously
distributed card reads: ''Charles Clement,
Marquis de Rochefort." His fame spread
among the dudes and at length he was iden-
titled as a former clerk in Delmonico's res
taurant. He had inherited small fortune
and was investing it in red for the season.

Confessed His Crime.
Special to the Globe.


MARTINsvILLE, Ind. Sept. 2O.-In the fall
of 1879 John RatcliT, well-to-do farmer of
this county, went out one morning to feed
his hogs. He did not return promptly, and
his wife set out to hunt him. She went to
the lot where she knew he had gone, and
there found him, partly devoured by the
hogs, and with bullet hole through his
head. That morning Len Reynolds was
seen passing near there, squirrel hunting,
with rifle, and on circumstantial evidence
he was indicted for the crime, After long
and tedious trial he was acquitted. The
people of the county had almost forgotten
the matter until to-day, when Reynolds, on
his death bed, confessed that he shot Rat
cliff in the hog pen for paltry sum of
money he had in his pocket. In his utter
ances he attempts to implicate some one
else, but he is so near deaths door that the
name cannot be understood.

1t will be remembered that Gen. T. L. Ros-

he having been at WelckerS at the time of
the assault upon Mrs. Godfrey by Congress-

1t was the Judgment of Gen. Rosser that Mrs.
Godfrey was entirely blameless in the affair
except in that she manifested great indiscre-
tion in visiting a public restaurant and occu-
pying private apartment with SO notorious

Mrs. Godfrey was not mortaliy offended by
the rencontre, it is stated that after she had

ing in New Orleans, she renewed her ac-
quaintance with Acklen, and in this way the
Old affair was revived and was brought to
Belts attention, hence the suit for divorce.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-Prince Alexander of

tary. Bands of Bulgarians under the COM
mand OF Russian officers are entering
Roumelia. Advices from Berlin and
Vienna favor the opinion that peace
will be maintained, on the ground
that the revolution was con-

OF Austria, under an agreement made ST
