TO CHECK FRAUDS.
How Malone Proposes to Have a
Fair Vote in Virginia.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. ga circular sign
ed William Malone, chairman of the state
executive committee, has just fallen into the
hands of the Democrats, and is made public
to-day. 1t is voluminous document, and
has for its object the checking of the frauds
which Malone alleges are contemplated by
the Democrats on the day of election. 1t in
structs the county chairmen, and forms the
voters into clubs, and a division of these
clubs into squads of nine each. These are to
be placed under command of a captain, who
shall see that his men are all registered,
issue to each a ticket, and then carry them to
the polls and see them voted. The instruc-
tions then give in detail plan intended to
bring out the full negro vote, as well as to
prove check upon the judges of election.
This provides that two well known, active,
resolute and Jealous white men shall be
placed on duty at each precinct on the day
of the election. One of these is instructed to
keep in his possession roll of all Republi-
can voters of his precinct. As each voter
comes up his ticket is to be shown to this
man. When it is deposited in the ballot box,
the voters name is checked off the list The
number of each voter is to be called out pub
licly and to be indicated on the list, so that
at the closing of the polls the man on duty
will be able to show how many Republicans
have voted. The other white mans duty
will be to keep a list of all votes cast,
whether Republican or Democratic. Here
then, says the circular, you have as complete
a check upon the ballot box as can be secur-
ed The two white men whose duties are
described will be able to announce as soon as
the poll is closed the entire number of bal
lots in the box, and that there are so many
certain Republican ballots in the box. The
circular then says that if the ballots in the
box and the numbers on the tally sheets of
the two guardians do not agree, there is
fraud. In that case Malone advises these
men to report at once to the Republican can
didate for the legislature in their county or

A "sPAVIN CURE"
A cambridge Man SwindIed Out of
$4,000 by False Pretences.

BosroN, Oct. Information was receiy-
ed at police headquarters this morning, from
Pittsburg, Penn, of the arrest in that city of
John +. Ellis, who is wanted here @ for rel cheat
seph Mckee of Cambridge, out of $4,000
The alleged swindle occurred Sept 30th,
when Ellis, who had an office at No. 106 Sud-
bury street, represented to Mckee that he
was engaged in the manufacture and sale of
patent SPAWN cure, for which there was
large demand. Ellis stated that he had been
in the business for seven years, and that he
had during this time sold between $50 and
$1OO worth day, and with more capital the
sales could be largely increased. On this
representation, Mckee, who wanted the bus
ness for his boys, invested $4,000, taking
one-quarter interest in the concern, which
was styled ''The Ellis SPAWN Cure Compa-
n.y." AS soon as Ellis got possession of the
money he left for parts unknown. Then it
was that Mckee realized that he was the vic
tim Of a swindle, and the case was reported
to Chief Inspector Hanscom. Inspectors
Knox and Howard, after hard work, located
Ellis in Pittsburg, where, as before stated. he
was arrested. He will be brought to this
city by ore Of the Pittsburg detectives.

OHIO ELECTION.
The Injunction in the Cincinnati Sem
atorlaI Question Continued.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 26.-Judge Buckwalter's
court room was crowded to its utmost capaci-
ty this morning, by attorneys, candidates
and citizens interested in the result of the le-
gal proceedings before him in connection
with the delivery of the certificates of cleo
tion TO the four candidates for the Senate
from Hamilton county. The matter had
been argued and submitted to him on de-
murrer, and on motion to dissolve the re-
straining order heretofore issued by him in
favor of the four Republican candidates on
their petition. He rendered his decision at
considerable length, holding as to the de-
murrer, that tleae was no missioner OF par
ties; that the four candidates could sue to-
gether or separately; that the court had ju-
risdiction, not to declare who should be in
office, for that was clearly in the province of
the legislature upon contest, but to declare
who was entitled to the certificates, for that
was a personal right to the title to the office
He also held that it was not necessary in or
der to obtain the aid of the court to prevent
irreparable injury to do more thaa to make
out prima facie case; while in this case the
averment of facts in the petition were insult
fcient, yet the plaintiffs were entitled to
amend in that particular, if necessary, and
in any case they were entitled to an order to
stay the hand Of the clerk until the merits of
the case could be determined in another
court. The injunction was therefore contin-
ued in force, and the mandamus case, involv-
ing the same points, was taken up by the
Circuit Court

VENERABLE CLERGYMAN.
The Oldest Priest on This Continent
and Probably in the World.

HALIFAX. N. S., Oct. 26.-The Very Rev.
Monsignor Power, who has just returned
from attending the obsequies of Cardinal
McCloskey, gave the Record correspondent mt
Father Carroll, the oldest priest on the con-
tinent and probably in the world. He is SS
years of age and has been priest 66 years.
Father Carroll is nephew of Bishop Burke,
first Catholic bishop of Halifax. He was Or
dained in this city in 1920, and served as a
Said Monsignor Power: 'Father Carroll is
wonderful man for his age, and was a mar
vel to the hundreds of priests who gathered
on the occasion. He is of ordinary height
and stoops considerably, the result of an ac
cident he met with last winter, by which he
broke leg. Were it not for that accident
he would have walked as erect as any man
there. His hair is snowy white, but his eye
is still keen and his intellect is as clear as
ever it was. His memory is really remarka-
BILE. Father Carroll is very lively little
conversational, and even at his advanced
age was full of humor and anecdote. He had
just returned from visit to Lourdes, France,
and looked as though he thoroughly enjoyed
himself"

World from Williamsport, Pa, says that Ed
ward Everett a man 65 years old, is now
working as hostler in one of the hotels at

The Catholic Church and Temper
anCe.


The Catholic church in this country is as
suming a determined stand against the rum
traffic. Father Cowaty of Worcester, Mass,
who lectured here short time ago for the
benefit of the orphans made fierce attack
upon the liquor dealers Of Worcester few
weeks ago from the altar. Father Linehan,
Rector Of the Catholic Cathedral in this city
is a staunch friend of temperance and has
refused the sacrament to liquor dealers of
the Catholic church of this city who sell
liquor on Sunday. Father Murphy Of Au-
gusta, Vicar General of the diocese is distrib-
uting temperance tracts to the members of
his parish. Rev. John o'Brien of Bangor,
the learned theologian and profound scholar,
has repeatedly mathematical the traffic in
Bangor. The aggressive action of such
prominent clergymen of the Roman Catholic
church with reference to the gigantic crime
of crimes is one of the most important and
healthy signs of the times. The rum power
can not long live under the effective blows of
these sincere and influential men.
Bishop Ireland of St Paul, Minnesota,
called the Father Mathew of the West is
sworn foe of intemperance, and his speech
es are OF great force and eloquence against
the liquor traffic. He is doing yeoman ser
vice In the temperance cause. Last week he
duQIeSseu large audience IN Chlcker1ng
Hall, New York, under the auspices of the
Father Mathew Total Abstinence Society.
He was introduced by the Rev. Edward Nc
Glynn, d. D., who said the object OF the
meeting was to promote the cause Of temper
ance and incidentally to raise money for
monument to Father Mathew. Bishop Ire
land said
81 have sworn before my God 70 work against
this liquor traffic Lord Coleridge said II We
could make England sober we would close nine
tenths of the prisons, and here .Out of 76,900 ar
rests AZ 900 were for drunkenness and disorder

0Oo 600 yearly. tell you to make the labOrer
sober and he will get his rights. There was
labor picnic in Chicago the other day, and 1t was
said laborers were starving, but a saloon on the
ground took in $500. Labor at war against mo-
nopoly7 Aye, it should be at war against tho
whskey monopoly. L say it with shame, as an
Irishman, there are too many Irish-American sa-
loon-keepers. The very fact that a candidate has
an interest in any liquor business should be
him." ~

MEXICO.
Trouble Expected from Rowing
Apaches.

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct 26.-Great alarm
prevails throughout the State of Chihuahua
just at present on account of the constant
influx of hostile Apaches from the United
States The recent scalp reward offered by
several counties in Arizona has had the eff
feet of driving every rowing Apache from
that territory into chihuahua. At all the
sections on the Mexican Central road for a
distance of 200 miles south of Paso Del
Norte, on the Texan border, reports have
been received from the interior towns and
villages stating that small, struggling bands
of Indians have been traversing the country
in various directions. So general and exag-
gerated are these reports that a veritable
panic prevails in many of the smaller and
unprotected towns for fear the Indians will
sweep down and massacre the people. The
many mining camps throughout Chihuahua
are generally well protected against attacks,
but hundreds of large ranches are without
particle of protection, and many people are
known to have fed from the haciendas to
the mining camps and villages for better
protection. The approach Of, winter doubt
less has much to do with the movement
southwark of the migratory Apaehes.

shouted to them to look out for themselves.
All the laborers were Italians, and none
could understand word of English. They
were unable to comprehend the engineers
meaning, and were cruelty mangled mo-

PIon PIon Urges Good Citizens to
Uphold the Republic.

Prince Bonaparte Plon Plon) has issued
another manifesto to his followers In this
he congratulates himself for having held
aloof from the recent elections. He says that
at present the monarchists are powerless
either to secure the government of France or
to overthrow the republic. They are deter
mined, however, he says to precipitate the
state OF revolution towards which he de-
clares the country is drifting. "The radi-
Gals are unable" continues the manifesto,
ito govern without the support of the oppor-
tunlsts, and government so managed must
end in dissolution. Only "a strong, presever-
ing and united executive can assure the sta
6illty OF the republic, which must either re-
form or perish" For these reasons the
prince urges all good citizens to unite in sup
porting the republic.
1t is likely that the new chamber of depu-
ties will pronounce in favor of general am
nesty to political prisoners, including Louise
Michel and Prince Krapotkine.
