The Kansas Prohibition Committee Acqu1t
Him Of Certain Serious Charges.
LAWRENCE, Kan. Oct 2.-PrOhibitiOnists
are now making strenuous efforts TO acquit
BranscOmbe of the charges that have been
made against him. Thursday evening the
State Central Committee of the Prohibition
party held meeting and after listening to
Mr.. BranscOmbe's story, and considering
his excuses for the damaging charges, made
the following report:
LAWRENCE. KAN, Sept. 30. 1885.

hibition ticket, meet i'm due form. After
careful investigation we find that the COM
paint. as published. which on its face az
pears to reflect on the Christian character
aud integrity of our candidate, is purely per-
sonal and confined wholly to his family
affairs. We believe that in pleading the
statute of limitation he was actuated by an
honest desire to do justice to his family as
whole. We also find that Mr.. BranscOmbe
had. several years ago. placed his property
in his wife's hands for this same pur-
pose. Altogether, the committee. efter
due deliberat,on and inquiry, are unan
imous i'm the belief that MIR. Brans.

Stubborn BulYarians.

SOFIA, Sept S0.-General Kaulbars has
sent viOlen. circular to the Russian Con.
suls in Bulgaria with the request that they
inform the people Of the contents. The
circulars make twelve points, several Of
which the Bulgarian Government declares
Russia must know to be false. 1t begins
by stating 'the time for mere words has
ended. The Car can now be convinced
only by acts. Only then will he offer the
country internal and external protection"
1t accuses the BuIgarians OF acts of indis-
cipline in burning the flags and insignia
of St George. The Bulgarian Government
denies this. 1t declares that Russia
can not allow Bulgaria to try the kidnapers
of Alexander and that it Is impossible to al
low Alexander and his family to return to
Bulgaria. 1t is understood that owing to
this circular the Government will resist the
demands of the Russian ultimatum brought
by kaubars. A 6eputation of nine adhe-
rents OF ZankOff waited upon kau!bars at
the Russian Consulate yesterday and eX-
pressed fullest confidence in him. Several
distributors of General Kaulbars' circular
have been maltreatcd. especially subaltcrn
from the Russian Consulate, who was
roughly expelled from cafe where the cir.
cular had been read.

in Montgomery County. About the same
time the depredatious Of thieves in the VI
cinity of Gardner became SO frequent that
number of citizens formed . secret organ
ization having for its object the ferreting
out of the perpetrators Of these outrages.
This organization was known as the Gard
ner Protective Association. and they finally
secured sufficient evidence TO warrant the
arrest Of A. Fl. Hoff. and the issuing of
search warrants to search the premises.
The search resulted In the finding of a Cas-
siday sulky plOw which had been buried, q
sewing machine which was hidden in straw
stack, and several other articles which had
previously been stolen from various parts
of the county. When A. II. HOff was ar

other smaller things. The HOffs went to

church, but found the instrument gone and
They also took q clock and lot
of dishes out of . school house
where people were preparing to
have festival. This man Stephenson
showed the officers trap door in the barn
floor, which, upon being raised, revealed
cellar pretty well filed with all kinds of
farming tools. 1t is said that two of the
HOtfs stole the questions which the county
superintendent had prepared for the exam
ination of teachers, aud after preparing
themselves passed the examination and
procured certificates. When dust was upon
the roads, to hide the wagon tracks, they
would follow with broOms. The Hoifs are
all unmarried, and the first clue was gained
frOm woman who one Of them engaged
from Kansas City to stay with him at 81
per week. They had some words and she
left him. He at the time was owing her
ninety-fOur cents, which he refused to pay.
She went to Gardner and told some parties
that if they would go up stairs in the HOff
house and look in certain box they would
find some harness that had been stolen a
short time before. This led to the arrest Of
the parties.

The crop in Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and

head.
NEWPORT, R L. Oct. a-The match be.
tween the American sloOp Sachem and the
English cutter Miranda was sailed yestar-
day over the Block Island course, seventeen
and half miles and return, and resulted In
handsome victory for the American YES
sal. There was good working breeze all
day. The race was sailed almost alone,
very little interest being taken In It by the
people here. the Miranda crossed the line
at 1854 :35 and the Sachem at 10: :O9,
both standing away on the starbOard
tack. Scarcely twenty minutes had
elapsed when, at 1l:l2: 80. the Sachem
passed her rival to windward and be-
gan showing her heels. At 11:27 both
vessels tackled to starbOard and frequent
tacks followed. At 1859 both tackled to
starbOard for what proved the longest
stretch of the outward trip. The Sachem
on this tack ran away up to Block Island
and weatheriug the point passed close UNI
der the west shore. leaving the Miranda
three or four miles outside. About two
o'clock the wind suddenly veered around
to the northwest and freshened pcrceptibly.
The Miranda being the farthest north,
caught the wind fully five minutes before
the Sachem ami began to overhaul the lat
ter rapidly. At $40 the Sachem
tackled to starbOard and caught the
same breeze As her rival, which
soon brought her down upon the stakebOat
southwest Of Block island. At 2:1S the
Sachem rounded and at once stood away
for home and, with every thing drawing,
dashed of at a rafting pace. The Miranda
also dashed down at a rapid rate. and just
seven minutes after the Sacliem went
around the stakebOat. From this point to
the finish the race was uneventful, stiff
wind sending the yachts along rapidly ard
making the run short one. The Sachem
crossed the finish line at 3:53:5O; the Mi
randa at 1902 :35. The corrected time Is:
Sachem, 4:57 Al: Miranda, 500 :25.
