About 7 o'clock all the poll.books in
the Sixteenth Ward belonging to the in
dependent chsllengers were made away
with. They we're in charge of man
named Pistol, and were stolen from a cof.
iee.house, where he was getting some

searching tor tneR.
Ju lge Phelps, OF the Court OF Common
Pleas, was engaged Yesterday restoring to
the lists Of qualified voters the names oi
persona Illegally struck of by tho regis
tels. In the cases Of some Of the petition
ers, it was found that the name was on
the register book but not on the poll book,
and in others that a name was not spelled
correctly. In the m0lority OF cases, how
ever, it was found that the register had
struck OF the name upon the return OF a
Constable or police officer that the man
did not live OF the given residence, when,
in fact, the man did live there, or had re-
moved aud had acquired legal residence
elsewhere. There we're many Festoratlons.
The names illegally cut of were nearly
all those OF coIored men, and the result
sought was the same as that secured by
Lieutenant Mullen by meanssless harsh
than his. Henry Miles, who ia q Goloret

THE idea advanced in the INTRLLIdES.
GER Of yesterday that it is worth while for
tue business men OF Wheeling to make an
effort to briug together in conference nail
eEs and manufacturers, to sec what the
plrliea themselves can bring out Of con-
ference, has brought favorable responses
from business men. A point made, how
eyar, by many business men is that the
conference could not be brought about. 1t
certainly cannot be without trying. The
lSrELLlGEScxR's thought has been that it
was worth while to try. Tho effort could
DO no harm and might do good.

GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. 4-Intelligcnce
has just reached hero from Ediuburg,
Texas, that u horrible murder was COM
mitted Sunday at the Hueson rancho by
Mexican named HipolitO Villarcal, q we'll
to-do ernchero. Ten days ago Villareal
employed a young Mexican, Desiderio
Figure, to attend his tlocks. In the neigh
borhood OF the HuGson rancho resided q
handsome yonng Senorita, who VllaTeaI
was courting. In one week Figure dis.
placed his employer in the affections Of
the young lady. Crsz-d with jealousy, Vii
lareal waited until his victim was asleep
and then attacked him wiIh u stiiet!o,
cuttisg Figure in the most atroCious and
barbayous manner possible to imagine.
Having mutila,cd the lad, he cut long
gashes the entire length of his body, both
In front and ON his back. How long
Figure withstood these tortures before
death relieved him no ons knows, but it Is
probable that he died with the hrst cruel
stroke OF tho dagger. Villareal attempted
10 escape int, Mexico, but has been
captured. There isa strong probability OF
his being lynched.

CHICAGO, Ills, Nov.-4. Scuddcr's In

Chicago Commercial Club October 81,
1885, TINT 200 votes in the present House
Of Representatives can be counted 10 OPP
pose the suspension OF the coinage Of
silver dollars or wordR 10 that effect.
AS this matter is OF great Importance in a
business point Of view, and HS doubt con-
cerning II produces delay in enterprises,
we are endeRvorinH to ascertain as near as
possible the probability concerning the
attitude OF tho present Congress on this
question, wG lnd that ot l40represcntatives
who voted last winter against suspension
OF the rules in order to allow the consider
alton OF the civil appropriation bill con-
tanning the clause authorizing a temporary
suspension ofthe coinage OF the silver dol
lar, 95 have been reelected and are mem-
bers Of the present Congress. These may
be counted on to vote in the same way.
OF the lis votes in favor OF fsuspending the
silver coinage, 57only have been reelected.
The silver men seem to have been more
successful than the opponents, SECURING
the reelection Of new members, and those
not voting on this question last winter lin
all I'D more than one.half came from
those parts OF the country known to be
opposed to the suspension Of tho silver
coinage.
ltis therefore probable that at least 1sC
votes in the preseut-Houso of Representa-.

prevent any attempt to suspend silver cir
