RoBBINa the POOR,

RENovA, Pa, October l2.-Further
developments appear In the shortage
at the post office here. Recently In
spector Speese, of Pittsburg, dis
closed default of $4,000 in the &C
counts OF Decatur Wells, the post
masters son, and 1t has now leaked
out that young Wells was obliged to
make up $4,000 previous shortage in
May, which was paid over to the ill.,
spector by q brother-in-law. The
subsequent discovery of the $4,000
shortage has led to more discoveries.
His victims are all foreigners, EN-.
ployed for the most part in the ex-
tensive car shops ofthe Pennsylva-
mia railway.
One favorite game he worked was
TO receive cash for money order and
give n registered letter receipt. There
are about 1000 mechanics employed
here, most of whom are young men
and who send money to their parents
monthly. Nearly all of them have
suffered. When the speculations are
fully exposed they will reach ovei
$1,000.
The affair has aroused the indigna
ton of everybody in this part of the
state and the prompt removal o.
Wells is demanded. Inspector
Speese is examining the books ant
the department at Washington hai
the matter under advisement.

Fighting the standard Oh Company

BUFFALO, N. Y, October I2.-The
grand jury of the court Of sessions
has found indictments for conspiracy
against John ID. Archibold, an officer
of the Standard Oil company; Henry
II. Rogers, OF New York, who 10 n
partner of Charles Pratt 81 Co; AM
broso McGregor, of Cleveland; Hiram
b. Everest, of California, aud G. NJ.
Everest, of Rochester, who is now
supposed to be on board steamer
returning from Europe. The COM
plant OF the Buffalo Lubricating COM
pany alleges that the defendants con-
spired TO burn and blow up the Ruff
falo works; that they hired witnesses
TO commit perjury; that they caused
discrimination in eight rates, COM
pelling the plaintiff to pay excessive
rates, aud that in various ways they
slandered the goods and reputation
of plaintiff. The Buffalo works claim
to have been prosecuted by they STAN
dard from the time they were estab-
lished. In 1881 the works blew up
and 100 barrels of oil were destroyed.
The plaintiffs allegc they have the
confession of man, that he caused
the explosion at the institution o.
men identified with the Standard OIL
company. He Is now said to have

THE OHIO ELECTION.


CINcINNATI, October l2.--The elcc.
.ion In Ohio tomorrow Is for COVER
nor and other state officers aud for
raembers ofs legislature which shall
elect the SUCCESSOR TO Hon. John
Sherman as United States senator.
This fact gives peculiar interest to
the election of members of the legis-
lature. Estimates. that purport to be
based upon polling of the state by
the democratic aud republican COM
mittees, give widely different results.
The democratic estimate elects Gov
ernor Hoadly by from 10000 to $4,000
plurality; the republican estimate
elects Judge Foraker for governor by
from $4,000 to $4,000 plurality. Esti-
mates on the legislature by both par
ties make the result close though
both claim a majority. The element
of uncertainty in the election of the
governor is the prohibition vote
which, II is generally conceded, will
BIO mainly for the republicans.
