family and friends of Hon. Joseph Poland
by an Associated Press dispatch published
Thursday morning, relative to a massacre of
whites by Apaches at post in New Mexico

panions murdered, and that he was shot
while on his way To another post to warn
the inhabitants. The same dispatch in other
papers, received later, stated that Poland
was shot dt." A private telegram, in an

LONDON, September 1s.-A telegram
from Manila states that the Spaniards
have effected de tacto occupation of Yap.
LONDON, September 1s.-The populace of
Palermo, Sicily, have become panic-strick-
en-. owing to the prevalence of cholera
there, and are fleeing from the town. There
is great scarcity of food, and the people
of Naples are sending money and provis-
ions for the relief of the sufferers. A Daily
Ne,os Paris dispatch says that Pal ermo

to O native in vision of saint, who an
nounced that the cholera will speedily
vanish.
ROME, September 1S.-At Parma to-day
five new cases of cholera and four deaths
were reported. In the city of Palermo,
Sicily, the epidemic is increasing to an
alarming extent. The popular prejudice
against doctors aggravates the situation.
PALERMO, September 1s.-There were
one hundred and sixty new cases of cholera

LONDON, September 1S.-An earthquake

Disappeared on the Wedding Eve.

PoTTsTowN, Pa, September 16.-Law-
renceville, Chester County, just across the
county line from here, has a sensation.
VIM. Linke is a rich and good looking
young farmer. His affections were GEN.
tered on Ruth Fuller, the daughter of
neighbor, pretty and vivacious. Linke is
twenty two years old, while his prospec-
tive bride is nineteen. She received her
education in young ladies' seminary in
New York City. During the past season
they attended Sunday school celebrations,
picnics and church together. Their engage
ment was openly announced among their
friends, and several weeks ago the mar
riage invitations were sent out. The friends
looked upon the wedding as a very good
match, as it would unite two respectable
families of the county. Yesterday after
noon was the time set for the wedding at
the residence of the lady's parents. Some
Rev. Drexel, a Methodist clergyman, was
also on hand to tie the knot. The
happy bridegroom stood among his
friends receiving their congratu-
lations, unconscious of the un-
happy ending of the wedding day. Before
was handed by a servant a note from her
daughter. 1t ran in this way: "DEAR PAR
ENTs: Don't worry oD my account Pm
safe and in good hands. Pve changed my
mind and concluded not to get married to-
day. Tell Will to bear up bravely. will
always be his firm and true friend. More
than that--never. Good by with
love and Kisses" The girls
bridal dress was found in her
toilet room. The guests quietly departed.
Miss Fuller's parents say that they do not
believe she has eloped, but is with one of
her old schoolmateS until the matter blows
over. Linke says that she is unworthy of
any mans love, and that he would not
marry her. The affair has caused a great
sensation. 1t is thought that at the last
moment Miss Fuller objected to being a
farmers wife.

CLASHING POLES.
Blood Drawn Over a Church GUAR
rel.
The Police Charge on the Crowd and Dis
perse the Rioters.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, September 10.-Disa-
greement in st. Hedwy's Polish Catholic
Church, which has been brewing for some
time, eliminated in q bloody row and the
narrow escepe of the priest and several
others from death to-day. The question
at issue has been the management of the
parochial school connected with the church.
The priest and part Of the church men,
bership have been in favor of placing the
school entirely in the hands of the nuns;
others favored continuing the man
agement in the hands of the principal,
who has been very popular. The
priest took advantage of the technical
authority possessed by him as the Eccles-
iastical Director of school affairs and at
desired would take place at once. 1T SO
happened that the principal of the school
was the organist of the church. He refus-
ed to play the organ, and the excitement
grew so intense that the services were
brought to an abrtbt close. Representa-
tives of both sides of the controversy inn
mediately waited on the priest at his home
to argue the matter, and a crowd collected
outside the house. The discus
sion between the friends and the
opponents of the priest grew heated, and
finally took on pugilistic form. The noise
inside the house was taken up outside, and
the cry spread that the priest was being
killed. Thousands of Poles live in that
part of the city, and all, men, women and
children, rushed to the place. The fight in
side the house was taken up outside, and
the most terrific excitement ensued.
Fists, clubs and knives were used,
and blood flowed freely. The three
police officers stationed in that
part of the city were powerless to stop the
fight, and assistance was asked from the
Central Station. Two patrol wagon-loads
of officers went to the rescue. The horses
were driven on a gallop into the crowd.
The priest was rescued unharmed, and
taken to a neighboring house, where he has
since been, protected by guard of police.
Six of the ringleaders of the riot were ar
rested, and will be examined in Court to-
morrow morning. Nobody was killed, but
large number were wounded.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Ohio election started ont
with the auspices in favor of the Re-
publican party. But let Sherman and
Foraker make few more speeches
and they will be likely to achieve the
unenviable record of having defeated
themselves with all the odds in their
favor.-PiHsburgh Dispatch.
Foraker says he dislikes to rake
up the embers of civil strife, but he
feels that it is a duty that he owes to
his fellow citizens. His fellow citizens
dislike to fall on Foraker again, but
they feel that it is duty that they owe
to themselves and they will come down
hard this time, maybe. Chicago Herald.
1t may be worth while to say that
the people of Ohio. whether Democrats
or Republicans. are not in harmony with
Sherman and Foraker in their everlast-
ing talk about the war. People now
living prefer to discuss the questions
which rise up before them in their daily
round of business. = Cincianati En-

A Novel and Effective Fire Extinquisher.

WASHINGTON, September 20.-There has
been a very successful test of steam gun
designed for use in extinguishing fires.
1t consists Of a long brass tube which is at
tached by hose to an ordinary fire engine.
1t is breech-loader, and throws glass
grenades filed with an extinguishing mix
ture. The trial was made on the monu-
ment lot. In the test the maximum pres
sure of steam used was sixty-five pounds.
Under such an impetus the projectiles rose
to about the height of the monument against
a very strong breeze. and fell long way
out on the reclaimed flats. This was an
excessive pressure, and was given merely
to show the capabilities of the gun. The
pressure was then brought down to about
forty pounds, when a flight of projectiles
rose in quick succession to the height of
our highest buildings under the deft hand
ling of the breech- block and steam con-
trolling valve by the gentleman in charge.

HoApLY COMMENDED.

A Southern Editors Manly Words of Conn
mendation for the Democratic Standard
Bearer.
George Hoadly of Ohio is man from
heel taps to hat. He is reported to be
a sick man. If he is some of our healthy
statesmen ought to find out what his
malady is and then study up contagion.
His reply to Senator Sherman's Sec
tional speech is keen, incisive and un-
answerable He not only tears down
the bloody shirt from the pole on which
Sherman had hung it, but wears the
pole to splinters over Sherman's shoul-
ders. His speech ought to be printed
by the million copies and sent to every
home in America.
We can not be mistaken in our belief
that Governor Hoadly's cause is no less
unanswerable than his speech. He
stands up for peace between the sec-
tons. harmony, reconciliation. This is
bound to come. 1t is already here, and
it is bound to endure. People who fol-
lowed the stars and stripes under the
leadership of Grant and old Tecumseh,
are too brave to follow the bloody shirt
rag in the hands of John Sherman.
It is true. there has been war between
the North and South. 1t was bloody
war, and stubborn one. But it was a
manly and open war. 1t was fought
under flags, in open fields, and under
|civilized usages. 1t was fought SO
bravely that each side won the respect
of the other. And when it was over
the soldiers of either side went home.
feeling that there would be no more
war between the sections.
That has been more than twenty
years ago. And yet there are politi-
cans desperate enough to attempt to
revive the fury of conflict. and once
more array. the passions of the North
against the South. If they succeed in
doing this-if they reverse the verdict
of national peace and universal
good will VIII ch was recorded in
the election of Cleveland-they will
wreak untold mischief. 1t is hardly
too much to say that they would, as
Governor Hoadly hints, lnaugurate the
policy of England towards Ireland. and
attempt to put the South into actual de-
pendency. This policy. experience
shows, always goes from bad to worse,
end leads to final chaos andvruin.
But this can never come. Our con-
fidence in the wisdom and the patriot
ism of the people of Ohio is unwavering.
They will tear down the bloody shirt
from its pole and bury it. and repeat the
lesson written in the blood of five years
war, that no flag but the stars and
stripes can float over American soil and
command the alleg ance of American
citizens, and that flag will stand as the
emblem forever of reunited aud happy
and harmonious Union.

Throuuh a Bricue,

CHARLOTTE, N. c., September 16.-The
first section of a south bound freight train
on the Richmond and Danville road went
through a bridge over Coddle Creek, twelve
miles north of Charlotte, to-day. Twenty
three cars went down, and were wrecked,
the vicinity being strewn with merchan-
disc. Two unknown men, supposed to be
tramps, were dead in the wreck. Firemen
James Davenport and Will Owens were
severely wounded. The accident was caused
by repairs being made to the bridge. The
train was tagged, but the distance was SC
short that the engineer could not stop it.
This evening's'north- bound passenger train
went out from here via Statesville and Sal
isbury. The accident will block travel for
two days --- -

NAUGHTY TRUSTEES.
Others Implicated in the Pollard Swind-
ling Scheme.


BRowNsTowN, IND. September 17.-It is,
now definitely known that Owen Township
in this (Jackson) county, is implicated in
the Pollard swindling scheme. The pres
ent Trustee, VIM. II. Bower, has informed
a correspondent that he has knowledge
of outstanding certificates of indebted
ness amounting to $500, and he thinks the
total amount will reach $40, 900 or more be-
fore the end is reached. Pollard was in the
county last fall and made several visits to
the Trustee then in power, Robert N. Mar
tin. Last June Martin resigned the office,
made settlement with the Commissioners,
and turned over to his successor, VIM. H.
Bower all the funds on hand.
About this time the wife of
Champion Cummings, of a neighboring
township, packed her trunk and departed
for the West, leaving her husband behind.
Since then it has been ascertained that
Martin followed her to Kansas, and remain
ed with her until after the Daviess County
developments, when he abandoned her, and
left for other climes, probably Canada.
Previously he bore very good reputation
for honesty and integrity. He is married
man, of about forty years of age, and
leaves behind a wife and several children.
It is not believed that any other Township
Trustees became entangled in Pollard's
meshes.
VINCENNEs, IND, September 1.-THE
County Commissioners ordered the Trus-
tees of the various townships in this county
to make a showing under oath, October 3,
of all outstanding orders against their re-
spective townships. This is done to allay
fears on that score, as it is pretty certain
that the Trustees of Knox are all right.
CRAwFoRDSvILLE, IND, September IT,
The Board of Commissioners investigated
the Trustees of the different townships and
school corporations of this county to-day.
The reports show total indebtedness of
$9,901 .06 for the eleven townships and three
school corporations in the county. The in
debtedness is mostly in bonds issued to
build school-houses and money borrowed.
There seems to have been no crooked work
in the Chicago school supply deals in the
county.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, September ia
dispatch received here states that Norman
L. johnson, Trustee of Liberty Township,
Parke County, is missing from his home,
and is supposed to have gone to Canada.
He has issued considerable amount of
fraudulent orders.
CoRYDoN, IND, September 17.-Great
excitement prevails in Morgan Township
over the frauds practiced by Trustee
Henry A. Thorp, of that township. His
wife has disposed of all his property, and
it is supposed is going to join her husband
in Canada. Mr.. Thorp was held in the
highest esteem by his neigh bors previous
to this affair. a.

Disaster to an Aeronaut.

MONMOUTH, ILL, September 1.-THE
spectacle Of an enormous balloon swaying
above the city few hundred feet, drew
people from their stores and houses this
afternoon till the streets were crowded.
The excitement became intense when
shortly the air ship swooped down and inn
paled itself on the spire of the Catholic
church, near the Public Square. The bal
loon at once collapsed, and a hundred citi-
zens helped to drag the concern to the
ground. The basket was empty, barring a
torn shirtsleeve, cuff and some branches
of oak, indicating collision with tree-tops
somewhere. All efforts to discover whence
the balloon came, and the name and fate of
its occupants, have as yet been unavailing.

Mormon Bishops Sentence for polvgamy.

! SALT LAKE, UTAH, September 1S.-Bishop
John Sharp, Utah Director of the Union
Pacific, one of the wealthiest and most in
fuential Mormons living, appeared in court
to-day and pleaded guilty of unlawful CO.
habitation. He claimed that his plural
marriage was entered into before any
statute against it, and in good faith ac-
cording to their religion. but recognized
the supremacy of his adopted country's
laws, and would live within them
henceforth, and would not advise any one
else to break them. He was fined $500, and
discharged on payment thereof. Bishop
Shsrp's conduct causes much comment on
the street tonight. The 'dyed in the
wool" Mormons condemn him as a coward
whose faith was frightened out of him by
threatened Imprisonment, but the progress
sive party in the church commend his
course as opening the way for others to
escape, as he will certainly have followers
soon.

The Ladies Voted.

BINGHAMPToN, N. Y, September 17.-In
the election for School Commissioners here
the women generally voted. This had the
effect of bringing out a very large male
vote, and the total number of votes cast
was twenty times as great as usual. Many
young ladies tried to vote who were neither
mothers nor taxpayers, and their ballots
were rejected. The scenes at the polls,
where women were electioneering, were
novel. The ladies generally voted for the
successful candidates.

CHICAGO, September 20.-Dernier Mayer,
handsome girl of about nineteen, and
Abraham Michael, decent-looking young
man of twenty or thereabouts, each being
respectively daughter and clerk of Mayer
pere, who keeps store in Goshen, Ind,
came to Chicago together last night, and
found an asylum with a brother of the clerk,
who lives on Fulton Avenue. The pair
were to have been married to-day, but the
early arrival of the young lady's father,
ed their plans. Miss Mayer was induced to
recognize the folly of marry
ing without hope of receiving the parental
blessing, and young Michael was informed
that he could take last farewell of his late
sweetheart at the depot. He was at the
Union Depot promptly on time, where a
note was given him saying the father
and daughter had taken the train at Twen-
ty-second street.
