To This Senator Smith, OF Tyler, re-
sponded warmly and fully. lie called
tho attention OF Senators to the fact that
political party lines had heretofore been
recognized by the Legislature OF this
state, notably in the act creating the Tax
Commission, an act for which, he regretted
tosay, lie had beenindnced to vote, against
his better judgment. He considered the
Tax Commission n humbrg and failure.
Then Mr.. Smith went into tile general
political situation. Referring to sneerins
remarks Of Flournoy's about the defeat oil
"The Pluned Knight" he asked:
How didyou defeat the Plumed knight?
By your Ku Klux Klans and your mid
night conciayes in the Soulful Grover
Cleveland was not honestly elected He
carried only four oil those States where
there is a honest ballot and q fair count,

At any rate the Solid South was kept

Mr.. Smith could not SEQ why, II the
management OF the Insane Asylum is
creditable and commendable, the Demo
cracy objected to having Republicans on
tho Board OF Regents. Was it because
there are so many hungry Democrats and
SO little pap to 60 round? Gov. Steven
son, when he occupied the executive
chair, always aimed 10 give the Democracy
representation upon the boards, and once,
no doubt by accident, there was major
ity Of Democrats on the Insane Asylum
Board. liza more liberal management is
not given 10 these institutions, they will
lose their usefulness. There is day Of

TALE OF A CRIMINAL.
Absconder Tiffany Tells the story of his
Flight and Wanderings.

Thomas j, Tiffany, who has just been
sentenced to the House Of Correction for
live years for apprOpriating funds from
the Bennington rustOilce, has given to the
public the story of his flight and wander
ings as follows; On March 10, 1854, In
spector Bdssett checked tap his accounts
with the Bennington postonce and found
the deficit of nearly $1,000. Tiffany then
told him that hc had deposited that
amount at the Albany postohce, for
which he had received no receipt. The
inspector started for the telegraph Office
To verify the statement, when Tiffany
excused himself to go home and eat din
ner, us it was then nearly2 o'clock. Hir-
ing team at II livery stable he started in
IA sleigh for HUosick y. Y, seven miles
away. He engaged u man there to return
the team, while he went by train to Gard
ner. Mass, the same night. He spent
the night there aud started for Fall River
where ne spent the next day, taking the
night boat for New YORK. On reaching
the city Wednesday morning he immedl-
atcly bought Il ticket to Philadelphia, and
from there another to Saute Ec, New
Mexico While on the way to the latter
place he was taken sick in Nebraska and
was obliged to remain in IL small town
Tor lew days. lie then sold his ticket
to Sante re and returned to Chicago.
While on the tram ut ST. Louis he hap
pened to see an account of the arrest OF
/ Ills son IN newspaper, and decided to
/ return to bennington to brave 1t out. He
bought ticket Tor home ut Chicago, and
while on the way stald in Canada, just
over the line from Niagara Falls, about
/ two weeks, where he was sick most of the
| time. April 3, he reached his native
state and remained concealed in Vermont
until May 90, when he bought II ticket ful
| Denver, Col. When he started back, he
reached Denver penniess, and engaged
| himself to work for II. +. Curricr as Il
herder on II ranch. The climate he en-
jOyed, excepting the winters, but then the
cold was not as intense rs the thermOme-
teis would Indicate. He had known the
mercury to register 32 below zero all day
but the air Is so light that it did not seem
very cold. Tiffany did not speak of the
work as disagreeable excepting for its lone
illness, but the thought of his condition
haunted him continually and he could moi
see COW boy approach without wonder
ing If it were an officer after him. He ha:
written to his wife regularly through /
confidential friend, and has received let
ters from her. He has passed rs GeOrg,
Fulton since the day he left but made n,
other efforts to disguise his identity, eX
ceptlng to shave of his mustache. II
speaking of his fall he attributed it Il
rum, but says he has not touched liquO
since he left.

A SLUGtiING POLITICIAN.
He Squares OF and Knocks IA Boston
"Traveller" Man Out i'm One Round.

BOsToN, Oct. 15.-The Evening Record
contains an account of a scene reported to
have occurred at the State Republican
headquarters. 1t says that f. b. Fuller, II
Traveller reporter, visited the headquar-
tiers in quest of political news, as has been
his custom in the opening of the campaign,
when Chairman A. w. Beard accused him
of having stolen Il certain circular which
was printed in last evenings paper Mr..
Fuller resented the imputatiOn and de
clarcd that he obtained it in purely legi-
innate way. Thereupon Mr.. Beard raised
his hand and struck Fuller a violent blow,
knocking him half way across the room.
Mr.. Beard went behind his desk without a
single word of apology or explanation for
his conduct. The reporter has placed the
case in the hands of lawyers and it is prob
able that warrant for assault will he
sworn out against Mr. Beard tomorrow
morning.
Mr. Beard states that he did not strike
Fuller, but under the impulse of the mo-
ment gave him Il vigorous push which
perhaps he would not have done upon sec
Ond thought.

CONCORD, y. H., oct. lS.--A terrible ac-
cident occurred on the Boston and Lowell
railroad. between East ard West Andover
mt : O'Clock to day by which three per-
sons lost their lives and five were in iured.
The Chicago express freight left here with
a "double header and when they reached
West AndOVer to set off for the down pas
senger train it was found that their train
had broken apart An engine started in
search of the missing cars, and meanwhile
the passenger tram came along. The pas
senger train men were informed that an
engine had been sent after II part of its
train before they left the station. That
train stopped at Andover Centre, and
when about three-eighths OF mile
from the place both trains coliided,
moving so rapidly that the direc-
ton of each locomotive was COM
pletely changed Both locomotives were
badly demolished aud their engineers
missing They were found IN the debris
dead, as was alsD IL brakeman of the
freight train The express messenger and
baggage master were imprisoned IN the
wreck, ana it was necessary to cut them
out. The baggage cur took fire, but
the flames were CNtinGushed without
any damage The tender of the paSSen-
Ger locomotive tecscopcd the baggage
car and the latter telcsCOpcd the mail
car. There were two clerks in the
latter, one of whom was injured.
None of the passengers were hurt.

EVADlNG EXPORT DUTIES.
FRAUD; PRACTlSeD ON BRAZIL.
The Government Cheated out of the EN-
port Duty on In liza Rubber shipped to
New York and Bo~ton-A Million
Dollar Fraud.

BosroN, Oct. 1G-The Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin claims to have exclusive IN
formation through letters from Pul If
alleged enormous frauds upon the Brazil
ian government, through the evasion of
the export rate of twenty-five cents II
pound upon India rubber The firm which
is implicated does business at the port of
Para and is very intimately connected
with well known house in New York.
The Para branch of the New York hous,
has been shipping nearly, il not quite, -four
million pounds Of rubber per annum from
Para to Boston and New York 1t has
been one of the mysteries of the trade for
II year or two past, says the Bulletin, how
rubber from this firm could be constantly
sold in Boston for less than the apparent
cost of importation, when the absolute
cost of laying 1t down here was 81 -. It
would sell for perhaps 81 per pound aud
recently when the cost of importation
with all charges paid had been hity-siN
and iittY-ei9ht cents, the goods nave been
selling at tifty-fOur and iitY-siX cents.
The Para firm is said to explain this upon
the ground of superior faclitie, tor
bringing and handling rubber. They also
assert that the alleged evasion Of the
brazilian revenue laws are confined to
/ teChnCalitieS The amount of the eva
| sion is placed 10y some as high a. one mil
/ lion dollars, covering Il period of two
or three years. The evasiOns are said
/ to have been possible from the fact that
/ the firm in question have private docks in
/ Para from which their rubber Is shipped
! But frauds could have been possible only
/ through collision with the government
/ inspector there.

A Successful Exploration in Alaska.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles
has heard from Lieut.. Henry Y. Allen of
the Second cavalry, who has arrived safely
in San Francisco, after his Alaska eXplo-
rations, having completed a journey
through the regions of the far North,
which, in the opinion of Gen. Miles, eXcels
all explorations on the American continent
since the time of Lewis and Clarke. Lieut..
Allen left Sitka last February and jour
neyed to the mouth Of Copper river, which
he followed until he reached the great
Alaskan range of mountains. These he
crossed on snowshoes to the head of the
Tennah river-ln itself marvellous ac
complishment. For 100 or 500 miles lac
followed the Tennah until it emptied into
tine TakOn, the great river OF the North
and followed that to its mouth. Il distance
of 400 or 500 miles more He then repaired
to Fort Michel, on the Behring's and re
turned on the steamer COrWin. The eX
ploration of the Tennah and Takon river,
| mas long been the ambition of explorers
but all previous Russian and American
attempts have been failures Lieut. Allen,
companions were sergeant and an otlicel
of the signal corps, together with the In
/ dians whom he persuaded to join him.
