BosToN, Oct. 12.-Inspector of Police
Dennis A. Mountain was last night ar
rested by Chief Eldredge, of the in
spectOrs' force, on the charge Of having
received stolen property, knowing the
same to be stolen. His arrest was made
in connection with two others. Thomas
O'Brien, clerk in the employ of the
Old Colony railroad, was arrested for
having stolen $3.50 worth of railroad
tickets. 1t is charged that the tickets
were sold to Inspector Mountain and
Edward A. Noble, a peddler of lewelry,
who was also arrested. Mountain has
been on the force for years
and has always had an excellent
record. 1t is said that Noble was I'M
plicated in similar case six years ago
and was arrested, but never tried.
O'Brien when confronted with the evil
dence of his guilt made a full confess
sion, duplicating the other men. He
said that while counting tickets re-
turned by the Fall River line cOnduc-
tors he occasionally found uncancelled
New York tickets and distracted them.
He bargained to pay Mountain 81 for
each ticket the latter could sell.
Mountain selected Noble as the best
man to dispose of the tickets. Noble
took the tickets to New York and sold
them to scalpers, keeping a share of the
proceeds for his trouble. Mountain
protests his innocence, but declines to
talk. The prisoners were arraigned
this morning and the cases were con-
tinued week.

came larger in blotches, and more and more

BLOODSHED AT BEVIER.
A Wealthy Mine Owner Killed by
RiOtOuS EMPLOYEES.

MACON, Mo-, Oct. 12.-ThOmas War
dell, wealthy coal mine operator, was
killed at Bevier this afternoon, by Strik-
ing miners during riot. Nearly all of
the mine owners have engaged new
men and these have been coming in
from abroad for several days past.
This action of the operators has greatly
incensed the strikers. who have been
bitter in their expressions against their
former employers, especially Wardell.
Threats have been made by the stri kers
against he new men. but there was no
violent demonstration until to-day,
when some of the scabS were set upon
by the strikers and general battle fol-
lowed. During the riot Wardell was
shot and killed. There is intense eX-
element at Bevier, and fears are en-
tertained of further bloOdshed. The
sheriff and posse have gone to Bevier.

aristocracy of Republican federal office
holders countenance and do it. Even
the fact that Judge Wilson has Endorsed
the petitions of Republicans for office,
whom he believed were capable of per-
forming the duties, does not assuage
their bitterness. Though the deputy
postmaster of Houston is Republican,
the Dunnell faction maintain at Field
4 Briggs a letter box where all their
letters are mailed and daily conveyed to
the train.
Carrying this still farther these Phil
iStineS, if the postmaster but SneeZe or
lick a stamp the wrong way, or fail to
know Just when letter is to arrive, he
is promptly reported to the department
at Washington as derelict in his duties.
One of the pOstmasters in the western
part of the district told me this story.
| would give his name but for the fact
that some Dunnellite would probably
report him for talking outside of office
hours. He said:
The postmaster whom / succeeded
was appointed by Dunnell in 1878, and
had held his Office seven years when l
succeeded him. He was no sooner out
of Office than he reported me to
Washington for holding back letters
addressed to him. An inspector
looked the matter up and dis
covered that no letters had come
to him since l had charge of
the office and that his complaint was
based on the fact that he had expected
a letter, and because it had not come,
supposed that | was holding it back.
Two months later a charge was filed
against me by HIM that l was conduct
ing myself wrOngfully with a niece of
my wife who was my assistant. When
this was investigated it was found that
he based the charge on the fact that ev
cry night when the Office closed up /
conducted the lady to her home"
This is a sample of the extent to
which the Dunnell allies have carried
their warfare. Their campaign is being
conducted on the same plan and with
just about as much regard for the
TRUTH" as Judge Wilson puts it. Their
support of their candidate is too strong
and somewhat easier than when in 1886,
as ID. G. Dyer "a Dunnell man of HOuS-
tom remarked, THAT it was almighty
hard to swallow Lovely" Ii. l. G.

FELL INTO THE TRAP.
A Postoffice Clerk RObs the Mails
and Is Clutched by the Law.

Special to the Globe.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Oct. 12.-An ex-
tensive and bold mail robbery was
perpetrated during last night, by which
most of the arriving mails in this city
from all points were pluDdered and
papers, documents and money eX-
tracted. When the employees of Fulton
market arrived this morning to open the
establishment they found strewn about
the street in the vicinity of the market
large quantity of letters that had evil
IDENTIFY been opened and robbed. They
collected the torn letters, which half
filled market basket. An examination
revealed the fact that the robbery had
been general in character, and
covered letters from Canada, Penn
sylvania, New York state, New
Orleans, Boston and points East, West,
North and South. There were in the
basket checks, drafts. mercantile orders
and the usual miscellany which goes to
make up business mail. Among other
things were Louisiana lottery tickets.
There was check found in which it's
amount, $3l9.90, alone remained intact.
and a letter mott ying the Enclosure of
draft for 81, 1924, the draft being
missing and numerous letters notifying
of the Enclosure of cash. Among torn
and sOiled papers was found New
York draft for S2l5.30, drawn on the
Smith Bank of Perry, in favor of Chris
Klinck, of Buffalo. 1t was torn so that
the signature was indistinguish able.
The thieves had evidently disre-
garded everything but cash and
check, and drafts were thrown aside
after being mutilated. Postmaster
Sacket said the investigation showed that
without doubt the robbery took place in
the postoffice and by some person we'll
acquainted with the office. The banks
were notified to look out for suspicious
characters offering checks or drafts.
Soon after the banks opened man
named John Shield, night stamping
clerk in the postoffice, presented a check
at one of the banks, and, upon the re-
quest to identify himself, establishing
his connection with the postOffice, he
was promptly handed over to the police.
Shields did not attempt to deny the
charge of robbing the mail, and is now
in custody. Shields was intoxicated
when captured. The check which he
presented to the German-American
bank was payable to jacob bold, and
Shields had Endorsed it with his own
name. The police have not been able
to get any information from Shields as
yet, but they suspect that he had ac-
completes, as no money was found on
him.

HOUSTON, Oct. 12.-DunnelliSm does

minatiOn to cut the political throat of

nell. 1t means as well, my informant

Democratic. Now to illustrate.
In almost every town like
Houston, in the First district, the
old office-hOlding Dunnell element has
absolutely refused to patrOnize or rec
OgniZe the pOstOffices now managed by
Democrats. 1t is true that they are
forced to purchase their stamps and Sc

beyond this they will not go. To show
their hostility to the Democratic regime
they establiSh,in opposition to the post
office, box III some corner grocery or
store and there deposit their mail and
have it carried to the trains by clerks,
or carry II to the trains themselves, and
glOat and chuckle over the fact that
they are decreasing the business of the
postmaster, and perhaps affecting his

Owatonna, Oct l. 1SS0.-Dear Sir: The
Republican congressional committee is in
need of funds for campaign purposes. All
federal officeholders it is expected will con-
tribute what they can to the expenses neces-
sary. May we not expect to receive from
you at once check for So. that being the
sum which your salary will certainly war
rant you in giving? Respectfully, etc.
This was sometimes signed by the
committee and sometimes by individ-
ualS close to the chief. AS Mr.. MeigS
said in his letter to Dunnell, the unfor-
tunate Office-holder often expended
more in paying these assessments than
he received as salary. Many of them
who refused to contribute were not so
fortunate as Mr.. Woodward, but, like
MeigS. were Summarily fired and more
tractable victims given their berthS.
This year the First district Republi-
cans have, after a surceaSe of four
years. been treated to
A NEW DOSE
of this medicine in the form of assess
mentS, as | am informed, upon county
and Legislative candidates and the mem
berS of the Republican clubs. These
assessments range from 81 apiece on
members of the clubs to sums as high,
/ hear, as S25 and $50 upon the candi-
dates. Congressman Wilson says:
"At the present time there are five
Republicans holding federal positions
in this district to every one Democrat
that j have had appointed, and l have
not asked one for support in my cam
paign."
To verify this. have asked the dozen
or so federal officials that [ have met so
far, if any assessment has been made
upon them for the campaign. and each,
Republicans and DemOcrats,) have re-
piled that there has not been. So that
the Democracy, at least, has not per-
petuated an evil that many Republicans
