The Virginia Campaign.

PETERSBURG, Va, Oct. 16.-The an
pouncement that Hon. J. S. Wise, the Re-
publican candidate for governor, would
speak at the Academy of Music tonight at
tracted to that building an audience that
filled all the available space, and large num-
bers were compelled to leave, not being able
to get into the hall. The meeting was
called to order by Senator Malone. Ma
hone then proceeded to make his first speech
of the campaign. He said he had come to
speak of the happiness and liberty of the
people of Virginia.
This large crowd, said he, shows that on
the Sd Of next November they will strike a
successful blow for the people and this grand
old commonwealth. He had found in this
extraordinary gathering that assurance that
had made the candidate Of the Republican
party for governor feel that the people meant
to assert their rights on the Sd of November
next.
Malone said that he entertained for
John S. Wise that relation which he felt
for no other man on earth. He knew him
to be all that makes up a man of courage
and intellect, and he knew that he could
not be false to this people. He has the cour-
age to assert his rights here or anywhere
else. Capt. Wise was no stranger in
Petersburg and no stranger to the history of
his commonwealth. With these remarks
Senator Malone presented Capt. Wise as
the next governor of Virginia. Capt.
Wise was received with hearty applause
He said that when he looked at the i'm
mense throng before him it assured him
that there would be no votes left for Fitz
Lee on election day. He did not come
heralded by any tomfoolery; he did
not come with any feathers in
his hat to keep people from seeing
the feathers that are within, but he came to
present the true issues of the campaign and
to tell the people that he was Republican
from the crown of his head to the soles of
his feet. Wise then proceeded to discuss
the principles of the Republican party.
He closed by saying that he would like to
discuss with Gen. Lee the issues of the
campaign, but he was either too small or too
large. he did not know which. to meet him.

Sold a Sailed Mime.


HALIFAX, n. S., Oct. 1G.-Godfrey
Smith and Franklin Mcleod are being
tried in the supreme court for ''saltng''' a
gold mine and fraudulently disposing of the
same to American purchasers. The mine
is located at ChiZzelcook, Halifax The
prisoners it is alleged, represented it to
be a good paying mine, and fired blast

blew out quantity of quartz and
good specimens, upon the strength OF which
the Americans bought the wine for So, 600
cash and $4,000 in shares. They invested
$1,000 in machinery. The wine proved
worthless. A miner named William
Vaughn swore to-day that he had been i'll
structed by the prisoners to bore holes in
the lead and fill them with gold and quartz
previous to the firing of the blast. These
were the ''sights" and specimens sent up
on deck as result of the blast. His
testimony was supported by that of two
other witnesses. The case excites great IN
terest in mining circles. 1t is the first of
the kind ever in the Nova Scotia courts.

The Detroit Church Row.


DETROIT. Mich, Oct. 16.-The police
have arrested five men on a charge of hay
ing invaded the parOchial residence of ST.
Joachims parish Tuesday night. The pris-
Oners are Michael Gallagher, the garrulous
old man servant at the priests house: Peter
Bidegare, ship carpenter and 6S wears
old; Peter Nadeau, aged so, his son Frank.
2S years old, both ship carpenters, and
Joseph w. Garraut, aged ~, also a
ship carpenter. The elder Nadeau
admitted that he, Bdegare, and Garrant
were at the presidents house Tuesday night
but denied that he personally had anything
to do with the assault. He stayed outside
and when the priest and his assistant left
the house he (Nadeau) returned and locked
the doors. Garrant, Bidegare and the elder
Nadeau were the three men who went to
the Aloysius church the morning after the
assault on the priest and saw Sex
the police have strong evid ence
duplicating all the prisoners. He claims
that Garrant was one of the four masked
men who entered the priests house, and
that his mask slipped aside so that his iden-
tity was revealed. Sexton Gildas was
brought face to face With Dangeser in
Justice Mener's private Office at the police
court. The priest looked him
over carefully and then said:
THAT is the man who held the revolver at
my head and threatened to kill me if |
didn't leave the house. You had mask on
then, but can positively swear that you
are the man." Gildas stammered out that
there must be mistake, as he was at
Weile's theater on Tuesday night, but E.
Dangelser merely replied, You are the
man."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Oct. 16.-John
W. Coffee was hanged here to-day, the drop
falling at 1882. He was executed for the
murder of an old man named McMullen and
his wife in January last, the house being
burned afterward to hide his crime. He
made three confessions during his imprison-
ment, duplicating at various times several
other parties in the commission of the deed
On the strength of one of these James
Denny was sentenced to death, but he was
given new trial by the supreme court, and
will now doubtless be relieved, although
last night he was removed to another county
as precaution against any possible trouble.
Coffee was utterly Frustrated last night.

Almost a Riot.

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 16.-Great excite
ment was created in front of the Demo-
cratic headquarters on Broad street at 3
o'clock this afternoon, and riot narrowly
averted. Soon after noon some one about
the headquarters caused to be strung across

burned it in front of the Democratic head
quarters. A crowd of several hundred
gathered, and the greatest excitement pre-
vailed. The counsels of cooler heads pre-
vailed, and after much loud talk and threats
the crowd dispersed. The yelling caused
the people to leave their business, while
many locked their doors. The Republicans
denounce it as an insult, and both sides are
condemned by better citizens for participat-
ing in move which, in the present political
fever heat, might have led to great loss of

AIust Bounty necision.

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-Second Comp
troller Maynard has made decision in the
case Of Maj. L. Middleton. late fireman U.
S. N, that upon the discharge OF the
claimant, the government cannot retain any
part of the bounty received at the time of
enlistment. Middleton enlisted in August,
1854, for two years and received $500
bounty from the town to which he was
credited. He was discharged in August,
1865, because the government no longer re-
quired his services. When paid off the pay
master deducted from his pay $50, being
one-half of the local bounty received. The
comptroller holds that this deduction was
unauthorized by law; that the local bounty
of the claimant belonged to him by virtue
of contract made with the municipality
paying it. and that the United States could
not lawfully appropriate any part of it to
its own use,

HAzELToN, Pa, Oct. 16.-Between s
and o'clock last night terrible tragedy
was committed at Seybertsville, small
village nine miles from here. Four tramps
entered small house, some distance back
from the main road, in which lived two
bachelor brothers, John and William Kes-
ter, aged respectively SO and Sc years. and
demanded large sum of money which was
known to be secreted in the house. The
KeSters refused to reveal where their money
was hidden, and the tramps then bound
them hand and foot and beat their brains
out with heavy club. After committing
the murder they fled and have not yet been
arrested. The two brothers had lived in a
frame shanty about one mile from Seiberts-
vile for thirty years. They gained
a livelihood by cultivating small
patch of ground and doing
odd jobs for the neighboring farms, and by
economy managed to accumulate several
thousand dollars, which was generally sup
posed to be secreted in the house. With
them lived John Kester Jr., an illegitimate
son of the elder of the two brothers. When
the young man returned to the house about
o'clock last night, he was Mortified to dis
cover the dead bodies of his father and
uncle lying on the Aoor. He quickly
alarmed the neighbors, who hurried to the
scene of the tragedy, and an examination
showed that John had been shot through
the head, and that William had been beaten
to death with heavy club, his head being
horribly crushed by repeated blows. Sew
eral times yesterday four tramps were no
ticed lurking in the vicinity, and the police
authorities say that they have convincing
evidence that they are the persons who

made for them. The drawers and trunks
in the house had been ransacked, showing
that the object of the murder was robbery.
Young Kester says the money was secreted
outside the house. and that the murderers
did not secure it.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The more moder-
ate movement of general merchandise
reported throughout the country to Brad
streets last week maintains the proportions
then noted. The volume of business con-
tlnues in excess of that reported at cor
responding period in 1884, though in some
lines below that in October in 1883. Mer-
chants in larger business centers are in
clined to consider the situation as satistac-
tory, and in some instances the future of
trade is regarded very hopefully. The
conservative attitude of buyers, joined
to evident increased requirements on
their part, is believed to promise
falr amount of business, and with the
coming of cold weather, renewed purchases
are confidently looked for. At Boston
there is steady trade and the general tone
OF the market is firm. At Philadelphia the
business activity is said to be fair though
less notable in several lines. The season
being late, the dealers say they are well sat
lshed. Iron, however is shade weaker
at Philadelphia. AT Chicago the trade
movement has declined, but it is still good.
There is a noticeable demand for New
York bills and currency from the East has
been ordered West although exchange
rates do not favor it. The shipment of cur
rency and of gold to the country have been
free. but are declining Mercantile

In Chicago the election excitement
and stormy weather have checked

but he did not think the method adopted
was wise one. The feeling in
England was that it was mistaken idea to
give wide publicity to such shocking details.
1t had an evil effect upon the young mind
rather than reforming influence upon the
community. He said that he did not think,
either, that England was as bad morally as
it and other countries had been in the past.
In this particular it was getting better, and
great wckedness was confined, not general.
He lectured tonight on Dante at the Con-

lecture on Robert Browing's poems at the
same church tomorrow evening.

what One Rascal Did.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.--An old steal
was recalled to-day by a discovery in the
Indian Office. One of the new officials
found large number OF bottles containing
greasy compound, and, his curiosity being
naturally excited, he began an investigation
and learned they were a part of an invoice
OF 5000 bottles Of quack medicine that
was bought some years ago by Commits
sioner Smith for the use Of the Indians. An
analysis shows that the medicine is nothing
but sweet Oil and cloves. The bottles hold
about one ounce and did not really cost
more than s cents piece. yet the records
of the office show that Smith paid 1000
for 1000 bottles. The medicine was exam
ined by Surgeon Gen. Barnes and con-
demned as absolutely worthless. A con-
gressional investigation was begun and de-
yeloped most revolving and obscene details,
and the report was suppressed. The mat
ter was finally forgotten.

Two Editors Disgruntled.
Special to the Globe.

New YORK, Oct. 16.-The Democrats
here who were loyal adherents of President
Cleveland are beginning to cordially hate
him for sighting them. Fresh evidence of
this fact accumulates constantly. The
president in two instances disregarded small
favors askedby two ropolitanDemocratic
editors. The World treats the president
lukewarmly and almost ridicules some of
his appointments. Its feelings to some eX-
tent are smothered to avoid All open revolt.
The latest proof of the ungratefulness of
the president is the case of Hon. Benjamin
Wood, editor of the New York Daily News.

refrained from asking favor of the

Springer Oh the Vincent Affair.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-This being the
former home of Chief Justice Vincent of
New Mexico, recently suspended from his
duties pending an investigation into his
official conduct. great interest is felt here in
the final outcome of the matter. Congress
man Springer, who was one of those who
recommended Judge Vincent'S appointment,
having been interviewed by a State Regis
ter reporter to-day, said that the suspen-
sion seems to have been made at the in
stance of Mr.. FishDack of Indianapolis. a
prominent Republican of that city. Mr.
Fishback, having little knowledge of local
affairs, supposed that jurieS Sc
lected by commission in ColfaX
county had jurisdiction of matters arising
under the laws of the United States and es-
pecially land laws. This is a mistake, and
the ColfaX county court has jurisdiction
only of cases arising under the laws of the
territory of New Mexico The district
court, which meets in Santa Fe, has juris-
diction of all matters arising under United
States laws, and the jury for this court was
selected last July, and Dorsey had nothing
to do with it. Mr.. Springer said it was a
mistake to recognize Dorsey in any way, but
that the government was in no matter preju-
diced by his appointment, as one
out of five of the jury commits
Sioners in Colfax county, all being
Democrats except Dorsey. Dorsey's official
duties were all performed in a very few
minutes and that the commission has no
further legal existence. Mr.. Springer is of
the opinion that upon thorough investiga-
ton of all the facts it will be found that
Chief Justice Vincent made the best judge
New Mexico has ever had, and that his
conduct throughout has been thoroughly hon
est and conscientious and with due regard
to the public interests. He also stated that
should an investigation prove otherwise he
would be the first to demand Judge Vim
cents removal.
