THE ANARCHISTS.
Conflicting Statements as to the Whereabouts
Of Agitator Parsons.

CHICAGO May 20.-The Daily News is in re-
cept of information which it deems positive re-
specting the whereabouts Of the fugitive An
archist, Parsons The sheriff at Tallahassee
Fla. telegraphed last Tuesday that Parsons and
a companion had gone through Tallahassee, and
was bound for Cedar Key or Tampa, and was
supposed to be heading for Cuba, as steamers
leave both the ports mentioned for Havana A
return telegram was sent for description Of
Parsons, and the answer telegraphed back tai
lied precisely with that of Parsons. The An
archist was recognized at station called Bald
win. but was not apprehended. If Parsons
sailed on Wednesday from Cedar Keys it Is
thought he can be apprehended.
PITTsBURa May pa registered letter was
sent from Coal Valley, on last Friday. to Mrs.
Lucy Parsons, of Chicago. the wife of the noted
Anarchist 1t was thought before that he was
in hiding with friends in the Monongahela val
ley. Following the clew given by the letter de-
tective has been for several days looking for him
in Coal Valley. His efforts have been unavailing,
except that he is now convinced that Parsone is
not far from there. The detective has been
working up the case, and has almost positive
proof that Parsons is either in the valley or at
Monongahela City, and is now keeping a close
guard on both places.

A RELIGIOUS CRANK.
His Evangelistic Methods Likely to Get Him
Into Serious Trouble.

CHICAGO, May 20.-A supposedly religious
crank is just now putting into operation plan
for evangelizing the community which will make
1t desirable for him to leave town should his Tor
herr identity be discovered For several days
past hundreds of people who have found it neces-
sary to resort to the advertising columns of tho
newspapers to secure male or female help, houses,
flats. or other requirements, have been deluged
by the next mail with printed cards and leaflets,
in which the of their ways, and the fact
that they are going headong to perdition, is por-
trayed in vivid language. One lady, promi-
nent pillar of religious denomination, who ad-
vertised for cook, received by the next mail a
leafet headed IA Warning Card" Her adver-
tisement had been pasted to the upper portion.
and below it was warning that If she had made
up her mind to neglect salvation and run the
risk of perishing eternally for few short years
of this worlds pleasure. she would never forgive
herself when she awoke and found herself in
hell.
Another, prominent merchant, who Is to be
found upon the platform at every big event OF
the Young Mems Christian Association, and who
is noted for his transformations piety and philan-
thropy, advertised for a summer mansion near
Evanston. In reply, he received letter, as in
the other case with advertisement attached, iu.-
ploring him to repent of his evil ways before it
was too late, and asking him to reflect upon
his feelings were he to be Knocked, insulted and
tormented forever. to weep, to wall, to gnash
his teeth through all eternity; to ask for drop
of water to cool his parched and burning tongue,
and to be refused"
The postofice inspectors have been appealed
to to use their machinery to discover the iden-
tity of the supposed crank, but they are doubt
full as to whether the letters come within tho
statute relating to Objectionable literature. A
private detective has, however been put on the
case and if the annoyance is continued and the
crank located, he will be prosecuted for disor-
derby conduct.

THE charge of Judge Mallory, of Milwau-

A Noble Red Man in distress.

NEW YORK, May 20.---The Sioux warrior
Black Horse and his souaw, rosmed disconso-
two years, with nine companions the couple
have been exhibiting throughout Europe, Berlin
being the last place where they satisfied the
curiosity of the inhabitants to gaze upon the
noble red man. Black Horse longed for the
wilds of his native Dakota. and going to Ere
men he intrusted his landlord with 400 marks
with which to prepay the passage of himself and
squaw to Deadwood. They arrived on the State
of Nebraska yesterday, and then discovered
that they were only booked to New York. Clerk
Nigleutch accompanied Black Horse to the Office
Of the State line, where IL was found that ITO
marks had been received for the passage of the
couple. Black Horses landlord is therefore,

this case. II it were always SO, how much
better would government and the state of 60
ciety be. because resistance against an evil
work is not executed speedily, therefore the
heart of man is set in him to do evil

A GREAT deal Of valuable space in this issue
of the Journal is given up to the secretary of
the board of State-house Commissioners, who,
by their .'order," writes reply to the State
Board Of Health. 1t is almost impossible to
read this latest effort of the board with any
degree Of complacence, there is such an insult
ferable assumption and impertinence about it.
1t directly calls the Board of Health liar, in
matter about which it is notorious that the
Commissioners themselves were convicted of
Misrepresentation, to use no stronger term,
by the printed letter Of their superintendent
not to speak of his statement made to Dr.
Metcalf, gentleman whose word will go as
far in this community as that of the man who
calls him liar, and more particularly when
it is remembered that the Doctor can have no
possible individual interest in a misstate-
ment. The intimation that the newspaper
which has admitted to its columns criticisms Of
the plumbing-meaning the Journal. which
the board and its secretary did not have the
courtesy to name-has been the tool Of the
union plumbers, is as false as it is imperti-
nent. Calling the State Board Of Health
liars, and puerile attack upon the motives
Of newspaper, may seem to the board a
complete defense but to the majority of peo-
pie it will only demonstrate the bad temper
Of men who do not seem to be able to under
stand their relations to the public in the con-
duct of an important State work. The letter
indicates what has been plain from the begin
ning-that the Board of State-house Commits
sioners are determined to listen to nobody,
and to pay no attention to any criticisms OF
their assumed infallibility. They answer well
to the sonorous address of colored preacher
to the Deity, who cared more for sound than
sense: ooh, thou all-suficient, self-suficlent
inefficient one"
