He Is Confident of Re-election-Clev
WIN Be Renominated.
New YORK, December Senator j.
n. Camden, of West Virginia, is at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. ''Our State Legisla-
ture," he said, twill meet in January,
and will elect my successor. Yes, l am a
candidate for reelection, and so far have
no opposition. / think l shall be re-
elected without trouble"
"Have you heard of Gen. Goff's predic-
ton that the solid South has been broken
and West Virginia is likely to give her
electoral vote to the next Republican can
didate?''
"Yes," replied Senator Camden, laugh
ing, "Gen. Goff has been predicting that
sort of thing for many years. 1t doesn't
frighten anybody, and we are no nearer a
break in the solid South than we were ten
years ago. There is no danger that West
Virginia, Virginia or any of the Southern
States will give their electoral votes to the
Republican candidate in 1888.
"The vote in West Virginia was light
this year. We had no local officers to elect;
the sheriff and other county officers held
for four years and their terms expired dur
the Presidential year. 1t was hard work
to get the people out. know very little
about the causes that led to the result in
Virginia, but presume it was due rs
much to overcOnfidence on the part of the
Democrats rs anything else. 1t does not
mean the re-establishment of the Malone
dynasty. All the Southern States will be
found in the Democratic column in 1855" s"
''Do you think Mr.. Cleveland will be
renominated?"
81 have no doubt oft; there is no can
didate against him. There may be some
doubt about his carrying New York, but
he can be elected without New York. II
looks as ifCleyeland and Blaine would be
candidates in 1888, and Cleyeland's
chances are unquestiOnably the best.
"Of all the State elections the result in
Indiana was the most unsatisfactory. i
saw Senator voorhees, about the 1St of De-
tOber. He told me ifthe Democrats did not
have 60 majority in the Legislature he
should feel himself disgraced. Ihaye not
seen him since. Perhaps he can give some
good explanation of the result.
did not the policy Of the administra-
ton have something to do with it?''
81 don't know. The President made
more appointments in Indiana than in any
other State Patronage is source Of
weakness to party, after all. There are
not enough Offices to 60 around, and con-
sequently great many people must be

THE MISSING MANAGER.
How He Escaped From His Creditors-His
Financial Operations.


DENVER, COL, December 1.-The Ne'rs.
speaking of the reported absconding of
Carter-C Cotton, says: Rumor has become
current upon the streets late last night
that F. L. Carter-Cotton, Manager of the
North Pondre Land and Canal Company
and also an extensive real estate operator
at Fort Collins, had absconded and left
creditors to a large amount. A state
ment of the facts, as learned from
IA gentlemen in high standing in f.
nancial circles in Northern Colora-
do, and who is in position
to know, is that for some weeks
past Mr.. Carter-C -Cotton's numerous credit
Ors have been becoming uneasy and were
suspicious of his movements and transac-
tions. Last Thursday number of them
corralled him in his Office. After some
talk Mr.. Carter Cotton made a pretext to
20 out, locked his creditors in, and has
not since been seen in or about Fort Col
lins. His creditors got out by climbing
through the cransom. How Mr.. Carter
Cotton got away is not known. Next day
he was seen in Denver and here all traces
of him ceased. The same gentleman, in
connection with another prominent fnan-
cier of this city, gave q reporter the follow
ing statement in regard to Mr.. CarteT-Cot-
-tun's financial operations:
"Mr. Carter-Cotton issued bonds on the
North Pondre Canal and 10000 acres of
land, said to be to the amount of $50, 600.
The Travellers Insurance Company took
nnn n,,fk khaSa hnpIs, nd tho ~ har RiD0
600 are held by various persons in New
England. In addition he has borrowed on
the stock of the canal $35, 900. He has al
so negotiated for them upwards of $50, 900
on real estate mortgages, many Of the in
terest collections on which he has with
held. He also secured in the neighbor-
hood of S35, 900 on land contracts from
Hayden & Dickenson, of this city. In
addition he owes nearly $4,000 in mis-
cellaneous debts"
1t is also stated that he had smaller ad-
vanees on contracts from an English COM
pany, but how much cannot be learned.
His total indebtnees has been figured up
by Fort Collins bankers at $3O5, 900. The
Travellers Insurance Company, Hayden &
Dickinson, and representative parties,
hold claim of 800, 900. 1t is said that
claims held by persons in the East are
fully secured by first mortgage bonds on
the canal and land of the Poudre Company
which are valued at twice the amount of
of the claim, as the canal is one of the
finest in the State. The opinion prevails
among a few persons that Mr.. Carter Cotton
has not absconded, but has gone on trip
to Europe or Mexico, and will return
shortly and square up all claims against
him, but it is generally believed in tinan-
cial circles that he has no intention otlre-
tnrninC.

investigation, feeling confident that he will
be yindicated of all the charges that may

the charges grew out Of these troubles.

that Wilkinson had made the charges
above referred to in his presence several
days ago.

GUARDING AGAINST FLOODS.
Schemes Proposed For the Protection of
Montreal.

Montreal.
MONTREAL, December 1.-The tugs in
tended for the purpose of breaking up the
ice in the St. Lawrence between Sorel and
Three Rivers, are being fitted up with steel
bows and will soon be ready for use
Colonel Rhodes, of Quebec, has interested
Sir Hector Langevin, Minister of Public
Works, in the project, and the steamer
Alert, which was engaged in the recent
Hudson's Bay exploration, will probably
be sent to help the tugs. Should they
prove capable of maintaining clear pas
sage between the points named, distance
OF forty-five miles, an effort will be made
next winter to keep the whole river from
Montreal to the Gulf, so that
navigation may last the whole year.
1t is very doubtful, however, if
this will succeed, and should it fail still
another scheme will be preached to pro-
tect the city from future floods. 1t is
proposed to clean away all property along
the river front from st. Paul to Commits
sioners street, fill in the ground thus made
vacant to the level of St. Paul street, and
form an esplanade along the river from
the elevated ground on which the Canada
Pacific Railway Station stands to the La
chine Canal.
Two railway tracks are to be laid along
this esplanade, connecting the Grand
Trunk and Canadian Pacific systems, thus
facilitating the interchange of traffic. The
Grand Trunk will then build a new track
almost in a straight line from Victoria
Bridge to the esplanade. The only objec-
tion to this scheme is the enormous ex-
pense it will involve, but it is believed if
it can be carried through the Government
and Railway companies will give substan-
tial aid. It will involve the clearing out
of nearly one-quarter of the business por-
ton of the city.

Marlborough and the plaintiff were to-
gether nightly when the bed rooms ad-
joined at Leigh Court, during the Easter
season of 1882, but witness had no reason
to believe that they were together
at other times The Judge asked
why she told the man servant
O'Neil they were together at night while at
Leigh Court, during the Christmas holi-
days of 'S2. Witness answered That can
not be So" This contradiction caused a
sensation. After recess, Miss Baer did not
at once appear on the witness stand. The
Judge took his seat and waited for Eve
minutes when he sent for the young
woman. Miss Baer came in complaining
of faintness. Resuming her place she said
Lady Colin Campbell possessed
PECULIAR DOoR-KEY.
1t had tongue on both ends. Witness
imagined one end was for the lock ON her
own house door, the other for that Of the
Duke Marlborough's residence. Witness
said Lady Colin used preventive mcdi-
cines; got sick every time she used
them, but witness did not infer from this
that her mistress was habit
ally doing wrong. Once while
brushing Lady Collins hair, in
her room, at Leigh Court some one tried
the door of the room then went away.
When all were leaving Leigh Court, Artist
Ftz Henry, witness said, spoke to her,
saying Lady Colin had not taken notice OF
him, as she had so many other gentle
men but he should be able to make
up for, lost time as he was going
to Paris with her. When he said this Fitx-
Henry had a bouquet for Lady Colin.
Witness denied having sent letter to
Lady Colin menacing her with exposure.

The City Legislature Discussing Book
makers and Pool Sellers.
ST.. LOUIS, December 1.-The ordinance
imposing license of s., 900 per annum on
bOOkmakers and pool sellers was recon-
mended to the Municipal House of Dele
gates for passage last night by the Ways
and Means Committee. Mr.. Fox thought
that the matter ought to be laid over for n
week to give the subject thorough cOnsid-
Grafton.
Messrs. Coakley, Stone, Wenzlick and
Brueggemann thought the bill ought to be
passed at once, ii for nothing else but to
correct the morals Of the city. Mr.. Bru-
eggemann said he was a victim of the
bOOkmakers' greed at the spring meeting,
and knew that other members of the As
sembly were in the same boat. He held
that the bill ought to be passed.
Mr.. Marriott was of the opinion that
the bill ought to be laid over, so that the
matter could be investigated. He did not
think that a high license on the book
makers would correct either the morals Of
the young or old men.
Mr., Monahan was in favor of licensing
the bookmakers and booksellers, but did
not want to discourage the business if it
was necessary to the success of the races.
Mr.. Waters was of the opinion that
some of the members were sore on account
of that Irish Pat matter" and wanted
to get even with the bOokmakers. He was
of the opinion that the bill ought to lay
over for a week. Before any action on
the matter was taken, the House adjourned.

Postmaster General Raikes admits that the
Southampton service would be inconyenient
