aged SO years, salesmen, and Thomas
Fitzpatrick, 27 years old, bookkeeper.
A combination Of dry good clerks known

Of the landlords family knew much about
the crime. Sometime after the explosion a
stranger begun frequent visits 70 (iersten's
saloon and finally obtained from the sons
of the proprietor the fact that they
had heard threats that Garry Bros.

in secret session. Presently NRughton
came doTn stairs accompanied by DAILY

CHICAGO, September ia telegram

Storrs this morning, announcing that the
well known barris:er died at Ottawa, Ill,
last night, of paralysis Of the heart. 1t
was known that Mr.. Stors was i'll, but it
was not considered serious until yesterday
afternoon, when his wife was telegraphed,
and went TO him. He hal been arguing a
case before the Supreme Court, and was
taken i'll on Friday.
Mr.. Storrs came OF a family OF lawyers,
and was an eminent member Of the pro-
fession. He was born August l2, 1885, in
Cattaragus county, N. Y. He studied
under his father, and then in the office Of
the Hon. W. B. ChanplaiD, at Cuba, N.
Y. He then went TO Buffalo and pur-
sued his studies in the office OF Austin &
Scroggs, being admitted to practice in
1855. In 1857 he removed TO New York,
and lived there two years. He came TO
this city in 1859, and has remained here
in the possession OF large practice ever
since. He, was noted for his gilt OF ora
tory, and for many years has been noted
political orator on the Republican side.
On the lecture platform he also acquired
fame, his lectures on Culture" English
Constitution, patriotism" "Men Of Ac-
tion," Municipal Government" and
those delivered before the Historical
Society having National reputation.
The remains Of Mr.. storrs arrived in
this city at o'clock this afternoon. They
were accompanied by Mrs. Storrs and
some friends, and the committee OF the

Hotel, where Mr.. Storrs resided.
1t is not learned whether the interment

given of the arrival Of the remains, which
resulted in the assembling at the Rock
Island depot Of large number Of citizens
and members OF the bar. A meeting Of
he bar will be called on Monday.
Mr.. Storrs seems 10 have had premou.
ton Of his approaching end. In bis ar
yument before the Supreme Court in the

asst case he would argue blfore that court.
Yesterday he requested Judge Glover to
for his wife to come down.
The Judge said he needn't be uneasy,
le would feel all right by-snd-by. But
dr. Storrs, putting his hand over his heaIt,
aid he had pain there that he felt to be
farming, and insisted on sending the tel
gram, which Yves accordingly doue. He
eemed to feel that his time had come.

Crooked Work Exposed in the New York
Custom. House.

Crooked Work EXPOSED IN tue New YORK
Custom. .House.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-There seems to
be a good chance for reforming the re-
formed New York Custom-house. Com
plant has been made to the Treasury De-
partment by Mr.. Ferguson, of Philadel-
phia, member of weilknown firm there,
OF the treatment which he and Charles
Thackara, ol the firm Of Thackara Sons <
Co., were subjected to, upon arriving in
New York from recent European trip.
Mr.. Ferguson and MIR. Thackara, with
some friends, arrived on the steamer
Westernland early in the evening OF
August II. When the vessel touched her
wharf the party Immediately left the ship,
and requested to have their baggage exf
amired, so they could proceed to Phila-
delphia at once, as Mr.. Ferguson was then
suffering greatly with severe pain in his
lees, which turned out to be erysipelas.
The inspectors who had boarded the
vessel at the quarantine station informed
the gentlemen that their baggage could
not be examined until the next day. A
special agent Of the Treasury Department
called Mr. Ferguson aud Informed him
that no was accused OF attempting TO
smurgle lot OF diamonds through the
Custom House. Mr.. Ferguson Indignantly
denied the charge and demanded 20 have
the baggage examined. The agent finally
acknowledged that there must be a mistake.
One Of the inspectors, 1t is said gave Mr..
ThackaIa to understand that II they were
paidthpy would examine the trunks. He
gave them a sum of money and the trunks
we're passed, although he demurred at
the smallness OF the sum.
After they wero passed, one Of the men
went to Mr.. Ferguson and limited that he
wanted q fee, whereupon Mr.. Ferguson
says he gave him twenty-iranc piece on
the same principle that he would have
feed waiter. The man, however, said he
would have to divide with the other men,
but Mr.. Ferguson refused 70 give him any
more Mr.. Ferguson says other passengers
that he noticed had the same difficulty in
having their baggage examined.

TuE Richmond ITITp (Republican) is
realing the riot act to the Virginia Bour-
bons Itreminds them Of what they have
done to distranchise large element OF the
population, and then it puts this on for a
cracker:
As for the remedy, it is in the hands OF
the good and law.abiding citizens OF the
land; it is in the hands OF the patriotic
aud rght.loYing people Of Virginia, and 1t
be not promptly applied, the last arbitra-
ment will be surely and speedily forced
that Of an appeal TO arms.
We are no alarnist. We merely inter
pret the plain significance Of the salient
features Of the situation. Right will not
submit to wrong.
This indicates, not that the country is
TO be again plunged into civil war, but
that the Bourbons have gOaded the other
side to the Iast point, and that Virginia
Republicans are SO much in earnest that
they are not discreet in their speech
There is not going to be any war.

pnussIAN ExpUIsIoN OF POLES.
Condition of the EIiIss Attracting the Alien.
tiou Of the Berlin Press.

1
PARIS, Sept. l2.-Mapy stirring Incl
dents attend tho expulsion OF the Russian
Poles from Prussia, now being ruthlessly
enforced unds. tho order Of Prince Bis
marck. The police engaged in this work
came across a well-to-do Polish gentleman
named Zamsj, Xxi. He owned much de-
sirabls land in Pcsen, but lived with his
family in beautiful chateau in France
much Of his time. Hswas ordered 10 settle
up his affairs and quit Posen. He demur-
red, and then set up q claim to being q
French subject, and succeeded in hav-
ing his appeal placed before n. De Frey
cinet, French Minister for Foreign Affairs.
In his appeal Zanajs jski established the
fIct that be was born in Paris and was
French subject. He had, however, be-
come so identified with the place Of his
estate in Posen that the French Govern
ment declined to interfere in the cise, and
NJ. Da Freycinet contented himself with
informally referring the case to the Ger
man Government as one worthy OF con-
Sideration. The result has been tina. the
Pdssian authorities have notified Zamaj-
Ski that he may retain his interest in
fGeimany upon condition OF nAturaliZing
himself as q Prussian subject and residing
on hiB estate in Posen.
So many terrible injustices have been
perpetrated on worthy Poles by the 1nd!s-
criminate expulsion carried on against the
whole race Of Russian cxiles resident in
Prussia, that portions OF the daily press
lo,,,, n 1onk hann aIirro1 nm IN TNrnkpat
against the whole business. The Berlinsr
1dgblGA denounces the expulsions as
utterly opposed to modern rights and hos.
pitality, aud says that If they are persisted
In they must result in preiudicing Ger.
many's relations with other nations.
While Prussia continues in this work Of
exiling the Thousands OF Russian Poles
who have made homes within her terri
tory, Austria Is encouraging the work
which has been organized throughout
Galicia, or Austrian Poland, OF raising sub.
scriptions1or the Polish refugees from the
Prusqian edict.
The opprOchtment between the Czsch |
and Polish populations OF Hungary against
German agcendancy in Austria Hungary
is percephbly increasing. A Polish dele.
gallon OF 400 members from Lemberg and
Cfscow which recently visited Pesth was
received with demonstrations Of enthusi-
asm by the people Of the Hungarian capi-
tai. Tho members OF the delegation were
entertained by the Polish Magyar Ek-
change with banquets and speeches brtm-
ming over with fratArnal sentiments. The
Pesth journals commenting on the incl
dent agree that the Hungarian and Slav
clements are becoming reconciled and
welded. and predict that these clements
united will soon dominate Austria.

To Wind and Time, and the Yacht Race Was
PuSipoued rill Tuesday.
NEW York, Sept. Notwithstanding
Mr.. Tam's announcement that everybody
rust be at the liShtship early this morn
ing, and that the yachts must be ready to
start st 1880 sharp, it was after i o'clock
before the committee boat herself got
there with the Gencsta in tow. Then the
cheerful old occupation Of knockiugabout
in the ground owell began all over again.
The Genesta and the Puritan sidled help
lessly about looking at each other in the
dead September calm, Not puff Of wind
came to relieve the monotony, and there
was not hint Of coming gale to be seen
either in sky or sca. Others sat in the
pilot houss and looked as though
It might be possible that several
days OF this sort OF thing might prove
tedious, 1t was about o'clock that the
weather began to thicken tritle and that
faint draft OF wind could be felt over the
water. Itgrew perceptibly stronger, and
knocked bit OF spray now and then of
the crest OF wave, and there was also q
lively choppiness TO the water.
On the Luckenbarh it was said that II
the race was started then it might be made
after all, for the wind was sure to be fresh
or. This was about $50 O'Clock, and %
minutes afterWard the committeeman
themselves came to the conclusion that it
was worth the chance to let the yachts
loose. The whistle calling them together
was blown at 1:5S. AS the Yankee boat,
obedient to the hoHrse summons Of the
Luckenbach, bowled toward the Scotland
lightship, Mr.. ]. Malcom Forbes inquired
OF Committeeman Tams:
Are you going to start us?'
"We are thinking very seriously Of do.
ing a." answered Mr.. TsmB.
"What is the uss?" asked the Bosto-
nian. 1--WE won't get back before mid
night"
The Briton came sweeping by the tug a
minute later and Mr.. J. Beacon Webb
said: ave understood that We would
not start after ~ o'clock" The commit
teemeu talked among Themselves while
the cutter was circling around the tug,
and decided that there had bsen no un.
derstaDding in regard to the time OF start
Of the LuckenbaCh, and Mr.. Tams thus
hailed Sir Richard:
ave thought the wind would freshen
as We went along. II you object 10 start.
ing We will call the race OFT for the day"
ave object to start" answered the
Genesta's owner.
The tug Scandinavian, which had been
lowering near the Luckenbach, was or
dered to give the Yankee sloop line,
The LuckSnbach took the Genesta in tow
and the two tireless yachts were soon
knocking the long, swelling green carpet
OF the sea into foamy shreds. They never
made better time together. The race is
postponed till Tuesday, 0n Monday the
yachts will sail over tie New York Yacht
Club (inside) course.
