New YORK, Oct. 26.--The smallpox scare over
the border and in New England has not abated.
In some parts of Maine lumber operators are
taking strict measures to prevent the appearance
of the disease in their camps. They will neither
employ men who have not been vaccinated nor
allow such in their camps.
At Springfield Mass, State Detective Pease
has discovered that the parents of young man
who died of smallpox two years ago, and was
buried at Russell, have lately dug up the body
and removed it to Lee, and they will probably be
prosecuted for the act The people of Russell
have been greatly excited over the affair. which
had been supposed to be case of grave rob-
bling.
The Central Board of Health at Montreal have
decided that the captains of vessels arriving in
port shall refuse to give leave to sailors to 90
ashore until they have procur ed a certificate of
vaccination. Any sailor crossing the boundary
line between the city limits and the harbor juris-
diction without such certificate shall be arrested
Another case Of smallpox has been discovered
at Hamilton, Ont, in girl eight years old. The
whole family has been removed to the pest
house.

considerably, she finally recovered. Her
would-be murderers decided to adopt other
means of taking her life. Their
plan was to have the young lady enticed to Bal
timore where the next attempt to kill her was
TO be made. They then hired fellow of this
city to perform the work. advancing him money
to carry out their schemes. This mans heart
failed him, however, and he acquainted the po-
lice with the story, still pretending to his en-
ployers that he was willing to do their bidding.
For two weeks the detectives have been watch
ing every move made by the conspirators On
Saturday afternoon they had such strong case
against the woman that they decided to arrest
her. The police are hard at work collecting evil
dence and very startling developments are ex-
pected

ANDERSON, Oct 26. Another Madison county
official has been discovered short in his accounts.
Thomas r. Moore has held the office of sheriff
for three years, and is ''short" nearly 81, 900.
These funds consist mostly of money paid into
his Office which should have been turned over to
tie county clerk. The fact Of this shortage be-
came known to his bondsmen, and on last Satur-
day they held meeting at Elwood, this county,
for the purpose of taking steps for petition
ing the Circuit Court to be released
from his bond. Sheriff Moore and his deputy,
Mr.. Beebe. met with them Mr.. Beebe submit
ted statement to the suretes showing that the
sheriff is sho1t in his accounts to the amount of
1920, but has about $4,000 in outstanding fees
due him, which, he claims, will protect them
against loss After hearing the statement, the
bondsmen decided to take no further action, for
the present, at least, but have notified Mr..
Moore that unless there is speedy reformation
in his moral and official conduct he will find
himself in the unpleasant predicament of hav-
ing to file a new bond.

EX-SENATOR CONKLING.
He Was Not Interviewed and Did Not Utter
the Personalities Attributed to Him.

Washington Special
Roscoe Conkling was asked to-day, just before
his departure for New York, whether the alleged
interview printed this morning in New York and
other papers, making him denounce Davenport
Blaine, and others in extremely personal and
bitter terms, was genuine. In reply he said:
'Oh, it is part of the misfortune of men who
have ever been in public life to be misrepresent-
ed by the newspapers. l am not prepared now
to say that everything in that article is wholly
made up. 1t has been read to during the
day. l can only say that no interview with me
has been had by or given to any paper"
Mr. Conkling said further this afternoon:
~ deny absolutely all of the personalities in
this publication. / may have, at some time, in
conversation with some of my friends, used ex
pressions about the influence of wealth in poll
tics. l may have spoken il general terms of
candidates whose only recommendation was their
bank accounts. but have used no such language
as is attributed to me in speaking or Mr. Daven-
port. l could not have spoken of Mr.. Morton as
/ am represented to have done. He is kindly,
generous man, with whom have always had
pleasant relations"
"As to the language attributed to me regard
ing Blaine, never said one word of that.
have never mentioned the name of Blaine to any
one for at least year There are special rea-
sons why could not be placed in the position of
criticisng Blaine. If there were no other rea-
sons than the fact that ne is citizen in
private life, running. for no Office, that
would be sufficient. To make me speak now of
his venality, Of his corruption is to put me in
position could not occupy. Then am made
to criticise Senator Evarts. am made to call
him venerable icicle' never have used any
such expressions concerning him.
but it is enough for me to say, in as sweep
ing terms as language will permit that all of
the personalities in that article are manufact-
ured and without any foundation, so far as
am concerned"
Mr. Conkling was asked if he had any idea
who wrote the article, and replied:
mo, have not. | have had no conversation
with any newspaper reporter since my return to
this country. Quite number have come to my
office, but majority of them have been told by
the younger men in the outer Office that had
no wish or desire to be interviewed"
Mr. Conkling begged to be excused from ex-
pressing any opinion as to how such an
article was prepared. 1t was essentially
lie, he said, in all of its makeup and was
thoroughly fraudulent in representing that
such conversation has been had by him with
anybody.

Praying for the Republic.

New YogK, Oct. &C. c. McCabe a Meth

ing the time that Grant persisted in holding on
to the War Office and refused to leave it for two
or three weeks, Bishop Simpson called on him.
The Bishop arose to go. Grant went on before
him and locked the door, saying "Bishop, re-
gard the Republic as in more danger now than at
any time during the war l feel the need of di-
vine help | want you to pray with me-" and
the two patriots kneeled together in prayer to
Almighty God for help in the hour of danger.

MIR. Arthur's Matrimonial Me,nento.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-The attempts of the
newspaper correspondents to find bride for
President Cleveland are fully as unsuccessful as
were those made in President Arthurs interest.
A friend of Mr. Arthur's kept watch of the news
uapers and clipped out everything that was pub
lshed about his matrimonial intentions Just
before his term expired these clippings were all
pasfed in handsomely bound scrap book and
resented to him. On the cover was stamped a
igure of Cupid with culver full of arrows, and
the words, Many were called, but none was
chosen" Mr.. Arthur regards this memento with
a great deal of interest.

Another Row for a Postof;ice.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-Another personal
friend of Postmaster7general Villas has ''got
there" The postofice at Portland, Ore, was
about to become vacant, by interpolation of the
term of the incumbent, recently An active,
blue Woodworking Democrat named Nolt-
ner was an applicant for the office and it was con-
sdered an assured thing by the Democrats that
he would succeed; but. just when Neither was
about to grab the prize, new man turned I'D, in
the form of q personal friend of General
Villas. He was superintendent of the public
schools of Portland. This new man, and friend
of General Villas, carried off the prize, and
Noltner and the other Democrats of Portland
are in unutterable rage, and it looks as if the
split which Noltners appointment was expected
to close will become permanent and chronic
Friendship appears to be upland in this admin
istration. It will be remembered that the At
torney general secured about million and a
half in telephone bonds by it.
A Decrease of Sc, 600, 900 in Postal Revenues.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-The decrease in post
al revenues for the past fiscal year was larger
than expected. The law to reduce the letter
postage from three to two cents was enacted
about two years ago. For the last three-quar-
ters of the fiscal year the effect upon the reve
nues was inconsiderable. This was attributed in
a large measure to the great increase in the num-
Der OF two-cent stamps that were used to inclOse
business circulars 1t had been expected that this
increase would continue 80 that there would not
be a large reduction in the postal revenues. But
this expectation has not been realized. For the
first complete fiscal year under the operation of
the reduced postal law, closed the Both of last
June, it had been supposed that the deficiency
would not be more than 81 O00. 900; the con-
trary, it will be about Sc. 100000. These figures
are not to be taken as accurate as the Presi-
dents wish that the bureau report shall not be
given to the public in advance of his message
makes it impossible to obtain the exact figures.
