LONDON, Dec. %. The Sunday
Times, of which Joseph Hat on, Stan
ley's intimate friend, is the editor, says:
We have received dispatches from
two re liable sources, which enables us
to state almost absolutely that Stanley
has arrived at Bangalaw, on the Congo,
and not at Bonalya, OH the Aruwhim,
as reported. One despatch states that
Stanley, after short stay with EInin,
left him and retnrned TO BangalaW for
the purpose of obtaining cartridges and
other supplies needed mt Wadelai Hav-
ing procured these he again went to
Wadelai.
The second message simply conveys
Intelligence that Stanley relieved Emiu
and is now on the Congo collecting the
stores left At the various places by him
self and Bartolette's party. Of the lat
ter, only Waad and l3onny remain. 1t
is suggested that Stanley's homowarll
Route will be via Ujiji, and Msala
to Zanzibar. With this route Stanley
is perfectly familiar, as it is the route

hand he holds a mace, or sceptre, the left
hand grasps a chain. The expression of the
face is grand and noble. A lions skin is
thrown over the seat, and the head and claws
are plainly to be seen. Ii required the
united strength of twenty eight horses and
two yoke of oxen to draw the statue. Its
weight is said to be not far from twenty
tons, and it is fourteen feet high. Two men
have been employed eighteen months in cut

POLITICAL POINTERS.

A New York special to the Boston Journal
says: Few democrats can be found who are
willing to risk their money on the election of
Cleveland. Ii has only taken about SS5, 200
to cover all the money that any of the man
ayers and political workers in the democratic
party dared to wager on the result. There
have not yet been any responses to the offer
made by the Iowa farmer who is willing TO
stake his entire farm on Harrison, nor have
there been any takers of ex-senator Dag
gett's proposition TO bet 100000 TO S95 200
and make the taker : present of $4,000. An
importing firm wrote to MIR. Daggett today
that it represented S500,00 of Cleveland
money, but when Mr. Daggett got there the
money was not forthcoming. James Chap
man today put up $1,000 in John +. Plum
mer's hands. Abe Hammel took the bet.
Not content with forging $. S Cox's frank,
the Democratic rascals who are circulating
free trade literature have forged the frank
of Senator Edmunds. The New York
Tribune has placed Mr. Cox in an unhappy
but it is very evident the Post
Office authorities are not very active or vgi-
liant in seeking the culprit.
The republicans carried the municipal
election in Chattanooga, Tenn, on Tuesday,
uN u VI u iull tuOUsanu.
Mr.. Cleveland lives in the peculiar situa-
ton of not having in all this broad land one
single devoted, earnest, cordial, personal
friend. There is not one man who can truly
and comprehensively say that he likes MIR.
Cleveland. Such is the effect of the Presi-
dents personal character and manners upon
those who come i'll contact with him, and
those who come into the closest contact are
those who like him least.-New York Sun.
The democratic exultation over the New
ark charter election is amusing The dema
Gratis have elected their Tax Commissa
and School Trustee by little more than
plurality. Last year they elected their may
or by 1903 plurality. Here is shrinkage

they are boasting that this result ensures the
vote of New Jersey for Cleveland.
The interesting story comes from Demo
cratic sources that Colonel Brice is about
to resigI the direction of the Democratic
into the hands of Senator German.
III the traditional peril of swapping horses
while crossing stream attend this transfer
of authority, and it confirms also the state
ment from Democratic sources that affairs
at the Democratic National headquarters are
in pretty thoroughly demoralized condi-
ton.

A STATEMENT,
By Engineer Henry Cook,
OF Facts Connected With the Mud Run
Accident
WnkEsRARRE. Oct. l2.

WmKEsBARRE Oct. l2.
Engineer Henry Cook whose engine col
lided with such disastrous results with Sec
taon of the excursion train at Mud Run
made long statement to be presented to
the coroner's jury tomorrow. He says
was continually Oh the alert for caps or
other signals. When we rounded the curve
below Mud Run | shut of steam. as our in
structions were 10 come into all stations with
the engine under full control, and allowed
my engine TO drift along. Tom Major, en-
giner of 466, whose helper | was and who
had charge of the train, blew one blast of
his whistle for the signal al Mud Run, and as
the target showed white .'all right he imme-
dately blew twice for ''up bakes, go ahead"
| supposed of course that Tom had applied
the air brakes sufficiently to control the
train, and don't know that he didn't, but we
were then running about twelve miles an
hour. | was on the alert for signals, as is
customary on nearing station. but saw
none. To see the station flag at the point
wnen we should be able to see, it was neces-
sary for me to climb upon the ratchet, which
did and saw no signal on the station signal
pole where such signals should hang Had
there been a fagman there with a signal
lantern we should both certainly have seen
it, and if not both, it is reasonable to sup
pose that at least one would have seen it, as
there is certainly no cause for excitement
until there is signal of some kind of dan
ger ahead. The trouble is, there was no
signal lantern, nor even cap east of Mud
Run station. When about $50 feet from the
station | was leaning out of the cab
window and saw white signal being swung
on the station platform in the manner usually
employed to stop trains or engines. The
lantern was being swung much more vio-
lently than when brskemen are signaling for
switching engines, and | Immediately whis-
tied down brakes and applied my steam
brakes. This extended no further than my
engine, as the other engine had charge of
the train and air brakes. | again looked out
for the cause of the signal and saw red
signal lantern on the platform and pulled
my lever back as far possible to reverse,
but too late to avoid the catastrophe. had
done all possibly could with brake and
steam and could only await the result which
did, remaining on the engine until she
stopped in the wreck. Then | started to
pull the fire from under the boilers.

hard to say which will win. George Newell.
Bates Curtis and other farmers are after the
plow. All the other articles have each sew

each ticket is sold as the lucky one.
The ice cream, coffee, cake, peanuts that
have been sold seems enormous in amount.
Dinsmore's orchestra, which furnishes the
music, is doing so very acceptably to all.
With their accustomed generous spirit the
Richmond band gives several selections in

drawn, the climax on the voting will be
reached and the whole wind up with a social

ROLLING UP.
Bosworths Defalcatiou Now Reaches
$45,OOO and will Probably be More.
FALL RIVER, Oct. l2.

FALL RIVER, Oct. 12.
As the examina ton of the books of the
Stafford mill progresses, new evidences of
the rascalty of Treasurer Bosworth are dis
covered Today two notes turned up, one
for 1000, and one for $4,000, which
Bosworth had issued without the knowledge
of the directors. This, with the S20, 900
shortage already discovered, makes the total
defalcation to date $4,000. There is every
possibility that it will reach much more. 1t
is feared now that other unauthorized notes
have been issued and perhaps the full extent
of the defalcaton may not be known until the
notes become due, although an earnest effort
is being made to hunt up all the outstanding
papers. The mill directors have not yet taken
measures to bring back the fugitive treasurer
although it is understood that disclosures in
regard to two notes would allow e1tradition.

Bold Buccaneers.

BATH, Oct. ~.
half dozen young men, more or less under
the influence of liquor, boarded the schooner
Chas. +. Morrison at Houghton Bros. wharf,
and began to enjoy themselves after the
manner of true diciples of Bacchus. Capt.
Smith was reused by the noise and having
waited until his patience was exhausted in
the hope that they might retire, went on
deck and requested them to adjourn.
On this profane refusal Capt. Smith went
to his cabin and returning with revolver
proceeded to empty is five chambers in the
region of these visitors. There was a sudden
scarcity of drunkards iii that vicinity though
no one was hurt.

FOREIGN intelligence.
A CANDIDATE KILLED.
Gen. Thelemaque Fights for the PIesi-
dency of Port Au Prince and Dies In
Battle.
PnRr .I- Prince Oct L.

= PORT Az FRINGE, Oct. II.
The election of members of the Assem-
blee Constituanti' to elect a president and
revise the constitution of 1861. resulted in
favor of ex-senator F. ID. Legitine. Gen.
Saide Thelemaque, the other candidate for
the presidency, yesterday attacked the
Palais Rationale at Port au Prince, the seat
of the government, at the head of about
900 men VINO came with him as an army of
the departments of the North. The provin-
cial government defended the Palais with
regular troops of the Port au Prince militia.
Gen. Seide Theiemaque and one hundred of
his men were killed during the attack. His
troops Immediately disbanded and public
order was restored. Gen. Legitine is now
the only candidate and will be elected by the
National assembly which was to meet on
the 10th inst. at the capital. 1t is feared by
some that the people of the North may revolt
against the new administration, but the
country will be with constitutional govern
ment and will crush all the spirit of rebel
lion.
