Probably Wants a Free Ride Home.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.--The police place no
reliance in the story of murder told in Chicago
yesterday by John NJ. Wilson. The Chief of
Detectives states that no such murder as that
claimed to have been committed here has
ever been reported, nor is there any missing
man named Anthony DAILY. The Chief is
convinced that the Chicago confession is
valucless, and believes that Wilson is insane
or desires full transportation to this city.
Portions of body were found in the Wisso-
hick0n Creek at different times two years
ago, and the matter is still mystery, but
the time and circumstances agree in no way
in the story told by Wilson. After a dill
gent search through the records, no account
of fire at Chestnut Hill, such as is spoken
of by Wilson, can be found.
Since the details of the strange confession
by John NJ. Wilson in Chicago yesterday
have been published, a clue has been found
which may lead to the clearing up of the
mystery. This afternoon q constable came
into the city from Jenkentown, Penn, and
stated that for several years a man named
Anthony Daley resided on farm near Ivy
HHl Cemetery. The farm belonged to his
mothers estate, and he worked it on the
shares. In January, of 1884, Daley gave en-
ployment to a man who went by the name
OF Sailor Jack. and the men were constantly
in each others company. About the middle
of the month Daleys wife was taken ILL., and
she was removed to her mothers residence,
In the vicinity, and during her absence
Daley mysteriously disappeared, and was
never seen afterward A few days after this
Sailor Jack sold two horses and a cow from
the farm, giving as reason for his action
that he had met Daley in Philadelphia, and
had been directed to do so. This was fol-
lowed few days later by the destruction of
tie farm house by fire and the disappearance
OF Sailor Jack. Chief of Police Kelley this
afternoon forwarded a dispatch to Police
him TO hold the prisoner and that the Of
ficials of Montgomery County would COM
municate with him. District Attorney
Bickle, Of Montgomery County, will send an
officer TO bring the prisoner on for trial.

Six copies of the Weekly sentinel for S.
Suit to Set Aside an Assignment.

NEW YORK, October SIN September,
1884, Simon and Morris Rendskopf, Raphael
Buchamen and Jacob Rosenthal, COM
posing the firm of Rendskopf Brothers &
Co., clothing manufacturers at els Broad
way, failed and made general assignment
for the benefit of their customers TO Jacob
W. Mack, giving preferences to the amount
of over $500, coo. The liabilities of the firm
amounted to more than 81. 500, 900. Shortly
afterward a certain number of the creditors
having claims aggreg9ting about 100000,
brought suit in the United States Court to
set aside the assignment upon the ground of
fraud and moved for an Injunction and the
appointment of receiver of the firm prop
erty. Judge Donohue made an order en-
joining the assignees from paying out of the
estate and appointed Abraham Killing Re-
ceiver, but directed that he should not en-
ter into possession of the estate pending a
trial of the cases by the Court upon the
merits. This trial was reached in June last
and to-day Judge Van Brunt gave decision
holding.that the plaintiffs had not presented
any legal proofs of fraud to substantiate the
charge of fraudulent intent in making the
assignment and Therefore dismissed the case.
An appeal will be taken.

NEs York, October "a Washington sse-
eial to the Post says: A new complication
has arisen in connection with the Chinese
question. 1t appears that the British Coy
eminent refuses to permit its possessions TO
be made a dumping ground for the rejected
hinese OF the United States except upon
payment of a fee which is quite impossible
for the United States TO pay, and which per,
haps. is an exorbitant measure of the
worthliness of the Chinese. This discovery
has been made by one of the customs officers
on the northwestern boundary. lie reports
TO the department that while strenuously
endeavoring TO carry out the instructions OF
the famous Chinese circular, and put back
upon British soil Chinese who have come
into the United States in violation of the
provisions OF the restriction act. he was met
with Canadian statute-whether new or
old, does not appear-which required the
payment to the Treasurer of the Canadian
Government of $50 for each Chinaman as the
condition precedent Of readmission 70 Brit

Department that he has no money ut his dis
p0sal to pay for such readmissiOns, and he
asks the Treasury Department what he is to
do about it. The existence of this Canadian
statute, ii in fact il does exist and has been
rightly construed was not known to our
authorities, and they certainly have no APP
preparation from which they can pay $50 per
head for every Chinaman to be exported
