Faithful Oficer Leaves the Forco Because
He Had Negro Blood In His Veins.
CoLuMDus, GA, Oct. 24.-For several
weeks it has been rumored that Police
Lieutenant Warren had negro blood in
his veins. At first no one believed it,
for there was not the slightest indica-
ton OF the truth OF the rumor either in
Warren's conduct or appearance. Last
week Chief Palmer began an inyestiga-
ton and found evidence sufficiently posi-
tive to warrant him in napproaching War
ren on the subject. Warren did not
invite further investigation, but ten
dercd his resignation, which took place
on Sunday night.
Warren came to this city three or
four years ago from North Carolina as a
bricklayer, and had conducted himself
in such a manner that he succeeded in
getting an appointment on the police
force. About two months ago he was
made Second Lieutenant, and it was
then that someone who had known him
in North Carolina started the story
about him. He left for his old home

Agency marched away in war paint and
feathers, and are expected at the Cannon
Ball river tomorrow morning, The re-
port that tho Crows were coming was
received by the Sioux with many mani
festations OF alarm. The fact that all OF
their leaders are away has created con-
among the braves, who have
already sent runners to the Lower Brule
and Rosebud Agencies for reinforce
ments.
The warriors who are here held war
dance tonight, at which all appeared in
the heaviest paint. They have armed

Casional flash of lightning. Revolution

guns OF the police did dreadful execu-
ton, as did also the shots from the big
guns ON Fort Alexander, which crashed
clear through the building, destroying
everything and everybody with which

WEST VIRGINIA A FACTOR.

Chances for n Harrison Majority and n Re-
publican Governor.
New YoRK, Oct. 24.-Barnum and
Brice are having pretty bad scare about
West Virginia, and with excellent rea,
son. Within a few days they have sent
considerable money there to be used in
saving the Democratic electoral ticket.
1t is practically conceded that Gof, the
Republican candidate for Governor, will
be elected, and that this will not unlike
ly carry the Legislature, which has II
United States Senator to elect. The
Democrats have hardly been able to real
ize until now thestrength OF the Repub-
lican movement in West Virginia. With
Indiana and West Virginia the Republic
cans could elect Harrison without New
York, New Jersey or Connecticut, aud
the fact that West Virginia was swing
ing around quite steadily has given the
Democratic managers nervous chill,
and they have determined to buy the
electoral ticket through il that is posi-
BILE. There is no State in which the
closing days of the campaign will be
livelier than in West Virginin, and
while on Governor and Legislature the
Republican chances arc certainly better,
they may be regarded at least as even OH
the election.

DEAR SR:-I cheerfully and in good
faith aCquiesCed in the nomination Of
General Harrison, and Immediately in
formed him by telegraph that he would
receive my earnest support, But it is
urged that in an address, or in some
other public manner, l should manifest
an interest in the success OF the Repub-
lican ticket. The proprieties in the po-
sition which occupy forbid my taking
an active part in politics.
It is gratifying to know, however, that
my friends are supporting the ticket in
good faith, and ! do not think any fair
minded person doubts that I earnestly
desire its success. ] could not actively
participate in the campaign without ex-
posing myself to Just censure, and lower
ing myself in the estimation Of right
thinking people.
Trusting that you will agree with me
in what l have said and that this will be
satisfactory reply to your suggestion,
which promised should receive careful
consideration,
l remain, Yours truly,
w. @. GRESHAM.

Many Petitions Coming in from Alarmed
silk Manufacturers.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Petitions have
begun to come in since the adjournment
OF Congress from persons interested in
the manufacture of silk praying for a
legislative remedy for the condition of
things which is threatened as a result of
recent decision of the courts of Penn
sylvania with respect to the duty on silk
ribbons. The duty under the law has
been held to be so per cent advalorem,
but the importers have preferred the
claim that the ribbons should be ad-
mitted as hat and bonnet trimmings at
20 per cent ad valorem, and they have
now been .judiCially sustained in the
suit brought by John Wanamaker. The
petitions are in print and are largely
signed by the operatives in silk manu-
featuring establishments, who say that
the decision will have the effect Of
throwing them all out OF work.
The opinion is expressed by high Off
cial and expert authority that unless an
appeal be taken and this decision be re.
versed by q higher court it will cause
the refund OF between $7,000,000 and
SIC, 0,000,0 900, not to consumers but I'M
porters, and that it will close every silk
factory in the country.

A nIrrl.rIons Commandment.

SAN ANroNIA, TEXAS, Oct. 24.-The
people OF Brownsville are equally excited
over the bombardment of residence
near that town by invisible hands. Last
Friday night the light-keepers house
at Point Isabel, occupied by Mrs. Schrei-
Der, widow of the late keeper, was struck
by shower OF shingle nails. The oc-
cupants paid little attention to it until
the next night when about dark the
shower OF nails began again, this time
more vigorously than before, varied by
an occasional oyster shell and clod OF
dirt. People gathered but could not
tell where the missiles came from. Last
night the bombardment was continued,
brickbats being added to the shells and
nails, and every now and then an old
scrap OF iron or copper casting. Mrs.
Krountze, Judge Lightburn and several
others were struck and bricks rolled
through the house or entered at win
dow. A crowd collected and the deputy
sheriff from Brownsville, who was sent
down to investigate, made n careful
search, but could discover no source
from whence the shower OF missiles
came. The superstitious mariners at
the point insist that ghosts are the OF.
tenders, and say that it is because this
light, which is Of great use to commerce,
was put out by order OF the lighthouse
board through some difficulty in aCquir-

The First Game ofthe Championship Series
on Their Ground.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 24.-The Browns pull
ed themselves together to-day and won
a victory from the New York in the
worlds championship series. Timely
batting by Milligan and White and a
missed grounder by slattery gave the
Browns four runs in the eighth inning
and the game. For the first time in the
series the Browns showed their old time
skill in base running, and to their sue
cess in taking every chance while on
the bases is largely due their victory.
Though King was hit hard ut
times he pitched effectively Mt
critical periods Of the game and
was splendidly supported by big
Jack Milligan. Crane was wild at times
and red hot foul tip knocked Catcher
Brown out in the eighth, splitting his
finger badly. Murphy took his place.
Roger Conner strained the tendon of
his right leg and retired, Bucl; Ewing
going to first. The last inning was
played as darkness approached, and
though the Giants resorted to various
lodges to delay the game the Browns
outwitted them. Fully 6,000 people
were in attendance, and the game was
exciting and interesting throughout.
The score was as follows:
