Alleged Pinkerton Detectives start n
Sensational Story.
PTTTsBURG, Dec. 2S.-The PeRny Press,
an afternoon paper, to-day published a
story to the effect that five Pinkerton de-
tectives passed through here last night
from Chicago on their way to Washington
for the purpose of looking after the per-
sonal safety of President Cleveland. One
OF the party, named Mcclure, stated that
they had been ordered TO Washington by
way of Philadelphia, where they were To
be Joined by five men from a branch
agency there, and were then TO proceed to
Washington for special duty at the White
House.
CAUSE OF THE PRECAUTIoN.
On their arrival at the capitol they were
to receive full instructions as to their du-
ties.
What do you suppose is the reason for
this precaution ?" asked a reporter.
1--WE were talking the matter over on
our way here and concluded that plot
of some kind had been discovered, but
whether against the Presidents life am
not prepared to state. We expect TO re-
main in Washington some time. Gen.
Sheridan's orderly has visited Pinkerton's
headquarters during the past few days
several times.o

NEW York, Feb. 27.-Great fears are
entertained in shipping circles for the
safety of several STEAMSHIPS overdue.
The recent heavy storms played havoc
with many of the incoming vessels, but
the greatest danger to ocean ships now is
the unaccountable presence of immense
icebergs in the pathway of the great
steamers. No captain can account for
them, but every vessel coming in reports
meeting from one to a dozen icebergs,
some half mile in length. 1t is feared
that many ships have met with disaster
from ice. Underwriters and the best in
formed in shipping circles are OF the
opinion that the freight steamships Pres
ton and Fernwood which sailed from this
port Jan. 30, for Avonmouth, and the
Clandon, which sailed Jan. %, for Perth,
have foundered during the continuous
gales that occurred in the Atlantic about
Jan. 81 last Referring to these losses.
an old sailor said ut is my belief that
heavy seas or icebergs have disabled these
vessels, probably damaging the steering
gear in the same way that the Alaska was
disabled. II is sad to think Of the deaths
of all those brave fellows on board. Why,
on these through steamers there must
have been about ninety men.

had most of his teeth drawn to lessen the
neuralgia torture. and the injury in his hip,
caused by his fall a year ago
is still a source of great
suffering and forbids physical exercise.
1t is a fact that should no longer be on
cealed from the country. that Gen.
Grant is, rapidIy breaking down, and ap-
parently without hope of reaction; Inc
unless there should be some unexpected
relief, he will not be long among the liy-
ing. He is wonderfully patient and I'M
complaining. and he profoundly appre-
ciates the expressions of sympathy which
have been called out by his recent appall-
ing misfortnnes. He works ever day with
bandaged head and in unremittng pain,
to finish his military autobiography, or
history of the war, and hopei to complete
it this spring. The first volume is entirely
finished, but not revised, and the second
volume is more than half done. He has
undertaken to revise the first volume
of his apprehension that he may
not be able TO finish the second volume.

reached the Courier. Journal tonight Of
a horrible tragedy in Union county, Ky.
A farmer named Nose Cation, living near
Smiths mills. Union county, and his sons,
last Saturday hung his wife, whom he
married four years ago. She was a
widow before she married Cation, and
owned Il small parcel of land, which
Cation wished her to deed TO him. She
declined to do so, which enraged him.
Saturday with his W sons, he took Der
out and hung her. after beating her ter
ribly. They put the CORPSE in a box and
took it in the house. The ladies, neigh
bors, in dressing the corpse for burial,
discovered the bruises and the broken
neck. They reported the matter to the
authorities who had the body disinterred
and ordered the arrest Of Cation and his
sons. Twenty men led by the county
magistrate, went to Cations house.
On arriving they met with resist
ance on the part of the Cations,
whereupon they fired upon them,
wounded Nose Cation in the ankle and
John Cation through the lungs. Caton's
daughter, Annie, in attempting to shield
her father by passing between him and
the posse. was shot in the bowels. Squire
Lilly finally stopped the firing and asked
Cation 10 surrender. He would not.
They told him they would kill him and
burn his house down. He decided to
give up. Squire Lilly started off with
his prisoners, Nose Cation, Wesley Cation,
John Cation and Tom Cation and Joseph
+. Fritz and landed them safely in Jail al
Morganfeld. John and Annie are both
badly wounded. An attempt was made
to take them away from the squire and
posse and lynch them while on their way
to Morganfield last night, which was un-
successful.

To save Meals life the guards were
aroused and in a few minutes after the re-
ception of the telegram, Neal. accom-
panied by a heavy guard, started for

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The Transconti-
mental Railway association continued its
sessions to-day and tonight. Its members
refuse to give the results reached. 1t is
learned from apparently good authority,
however, that most Of the session was oc-
cupied with the question of through rates
from seaboard to seaboard. Owing to
trouble with eastern trunk lines in regard
to their proportion of through rates, it was
decided instead of basing business on the
rate between New York and San Francis
90 to make Chicago and st. Louis termi-
nal points. The rate between Chicago
and San francisco will be so per cent Of
the rate between New York and San
Francisco, or from five to thirty cents per
hundred less, according to class. The
commissionership has not been settled.

elimination of of the frontier. The fact
that the ameer is to have an interview
with Earl Dufferin, shows the ameer is de
pendent on the British policy; therefore
the British policy is more responsible for
the acts of the ameer. 1t is to be hoped
that the moderation and prudence of the
English cabinet will prevail in the settle
ment Of the frontier dispute, despite the
clamor raised by English politicians. The
Journal concludes this significant article
with the following new political epigram:
THE prestige endangered on the Nile

Memorial to Longfellow.

Boston, Feb. 27.-The annual meet
ing of the Longfellow Memorial a%ssocia-
ton was held in Cambridge this evening.
There was a very small attendance. The
treasurer reported $12, s76 on hand. The
secretary says: Owing to the general
monetary depression. but little progress
can be reported in the work of the asso-
citation during the year. In an informal
talk, Van Brunt, of the committee on
plans, said it had been thought advisable
by some that Lonnfellow's heirs be asked
to take back their gift, as it did not seem
probable enough money would be con-
tributed to lay out and care for such a
garden as was proposed, and that the
money in the treasury be devoted to a
monument or other memorial to the dead
poet. Other speakers favored such a
course, while some opposed it. No action
was taken.

Vice President Hendricks in WASH
ington.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. = The vice
president-elect arrived in Washington this
afternoon over the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. He was met by an assemblage
of several hundred persons. The Demo-
cratic members of congress from Indiana,
except Senator Voorhees,, who wasdetain-
ed at the senate, and Judge Holman who
could not leave the house, were present,
as members of the Indiana Democratic
association. As soon as the vice presi-
dent-elect was recognized many spectators
on the platform removed their hats and
applauded him. As he pushed on toward
the carriage down the length of the plat
form and through the waiting room to the
street, the applause grew until, as he
reached the pavement, it broke into en-
thusiastic cheering, to which Mr.. Hen
bricks responded by raising his hat and
bowling. The committee escorted him to a
carriage, but here the crowd surged about
the vehicle and prevented it from being
driven off, while n score or more shook
hands with Nh. Hendricks. As the
driver finally whipped up his horses and
drove off to the hotel the crowd cheered
enthusiastically. The vice president
elect was accompanied by several gentle
men from Indiana and the ladies of his
family.

the same functions as the clerks of any
other bureau of the war department, and

the office of assistant chief Of the signal
officer, the design Of which was to pro-
vide for the promotion of Lieut.. Greeley,

has made a reply in which he gives his
views on the signal service generally. He
says the bill is a further step towards a
comprehensive military organization of
an establishment for which there is no
military need. By various steps n signal
