sly Democratic story About ouhy Having
Requested Blaine to Stop Speaking.
New York, Sept. 4.-The labor holiday
was observed yesterday by theRepublican
National, State and County Committees.
Senator Quay, Chairman OF the Repub-
lican National Committee, decided on
Saturday to keep the headquarters clos
ed, and gave the clerks and employees n
day for themselves. 1t was not until
after this had beceme generally
known that Colonel Brice, OF the
Democratic National Committee, also
ordered the building over which he
presides to be kept closed. Since Mr..
Thurman telegraphed that the West and
Northwest were surely going to General
Harrison, and to put all their work in
this State, the deepest kind OF gloom
has settled around the Democratic
headquarters, but with the assistance o.
the misguided Prohibitionists and Tho
active rum sellers, they hope to put the
State ticket through in New York, anC
with its influence and aid save the Ma
tlonal ticket.
The latest political lie, starting from
the Democratic National Committee
rooms, was given out to-day. 1t wa
that Senator Quay had written tn Mr.
Blaine asking him to stop speaking, III
his utterances on trusts were unsatisfac
tory to him. Now this is such ridicu
lous lie that 1t carries its owl
answer. But the Democratic Com
mittee has been sending "specia
dispatches" to the weak dali!
papers OF the West, containing equal,
as ridiculous lies, and the story vii
probably crop out somewhere in tn
, Mississippi Valley as a certified truth
Colonel Clarkson, Treasurer OF the RI
! publican National Committee, said tc

ABDUCTED HIS WIFE.
Tho Daring Deed of an Ex-Ncmber of tho
Jesse JRmcs Gnng.

jesse James Gang.
New YoRK, Sept. 4.-A Memphis
special says: The city was thrown into
a tiutter OF excitement yesterday after
noon by the report that John Edwards,
alias Charles Bronaugh, reputed horse
thief and a former member OF the Jesse
James gang had abducted his young wife,
from whom he had been separated for
months. 1t appears that Sunday night,
while the young wife of the outlaw was
standing at the gate in front of her
mothers house, engaged in conversation
with her brother and lady friend, Ed
wards came up, grabbed her by the waist
and commanded her to accompany him.
Her brother made an effort to interfere,
but was warned at the muzzle OF pis-
tol to make no attempt at rescue.
Edwards then rapidly disappeared in
the darkness, dragging the frightened
girl with him. The alarm was at once
gwen aud posse OF officers aud citizens
started in pursuit, but no trace of the
fugitive was discovered. The wife re-
turned yesterday afternoon to her home,
informing her family that she had been
detained in the suburbs until her hus.
band made good his escape. He gave
her the alternative Of accompanying him
in his flight or joining him aiterwArd.
She chose the latter, and at the pistols
mouth registered an oath TO meet him us
commanded.
They have been married twenty
months. The wife is not yet 10 years
old, and ran away from home to marry
Edwards, who cut wide swathe here
about two years ago rs wealthy horse
dealer. No one suspected his criminal
record. He took her from here TO Lou
isville and thence to Connellsvillc, Ills,
always choosing residence near the
border Of apiece OF woods, so as to make
his escape easy in case OF detection.
One evening while at Connellsville, his
wife was surprised to see him take to
the woods on the approach OF buggy
two men. The men alighted
md asked for him, alleging that he was
guilty OF pension frauds. Failing to dis
co"er his place OF hiding, they left. Since
then he has been constant fugitive,
and failed to provide for hersuppOrt. At
last, reduced to absolute need, she re-
turned hcme about three months ago.

Pl7VsRuRaH, Sept. 4.-The coke opera
tors do not expect a demand from their
employees for an advance on account Of
that given at the Southwest works. One
who was seen to-day stated that the out
put went to the Edgar Thompson steel
works, and that the advance in wages
did not affect the market, The coke
that is being sold is still ut 81 and all the
works would have to shut down before
an advance in wages would be given.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The Standards bel
licose leader, beginning with the pomp-
Gus announcement that Canada, should
the necessity unfortunately arise, has
behind her the guns Of the English IRON
clads, has produced over London one
prolonged gufIaw. l have seen nobody
in town who does not regard it as abso-
lutte nonsense. It is q matter Of fact, as
| cabled on Saturday, that Canada has
been notified TO shut up and give in.
There are two theories anOat in news
paper circles. One is that the Standards
leader is cannonade with blank cart
ridges to cover the retreat OF Canada.
The other is that ii is q scheme to bear
American railway securities. Butthe idea
that England will stir n finger to back
the Dominion is utter folly.

Nav YoRK, Sept. l.-Nathaniel Nc
Kay, widely known as u contractor and
ship.builder,. returned from Europe to-
Day. Mr., Mckay has been absent ten
months. Much OF this time he devoted
to practical investigation OF the con-
dition OF the English workingmen-what
wages they earn, what their wages will
buy, and how they live. Mr.. McKay's
object was TO ascertain how the lot
OF the average English workingman
compares with that OF the average Amer.
lean workingman. He returns armed
with facts and figures, and will publish
them soon. They will show that, max.
ing all allowances for the fact that some
things are cheaper in England than in
America, the protected American work,

NAVAL sECRErS S0lD TO ENGLAND,


How an AttHchn OF the British Legation
OutwItted Some Naval officers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-There is an
uncomfortable story current around the
Interior Department OF the way in
which the naval attache OF the British
Legation had oNtwitted the officers in
charge OF the torpedo station at Newport,
!. The Englishman was ordered to
make n report on the American system
of torpedoes, which is said to be the best
in the world. He could make no
hcadway in hia inquiries from naval
sources, and he turned to the Patent
Office. lie formally ordered complete
set ofthe drawings OF all torpedo inven-
tiOns on record and upon payment OF a
fec OF fifty dollars procured them. His
remark when he secured the papers was
that this was queer country. 1t may
be that the drawings furnished accord
ing to law do not give away all OF the
secrets OF our torpedo service, but the
employees Of the Patent Office seem to
think they do.

MATRIMONIAL INPELICITY.
A Clergyman Speaks of His Unfortunate
Domestic Relations to His Flock.

Domestic ItelhtiOhs To HIS Flock.
BUTLER, Sept. For about ten years
Rev. A. u, G. Mcfarland has been pas
tor OF the United Presbyterian Church
at Fairview, this county. The congrc-
CATION is one OF the most wealthy and
intelligent in the county, and some
years ago erected church at cost
OF about $25, 900, though for several years
his relations with his wife have been
strained. She was formerly an Allegheny
society belle. Last week, accompanied
by her mother, who was visiting her,
she left for their home in Allegheny.
Sunday, after delivering his sermon,
Rev. Mr.. Mcfarland made brief state
ment OF his matrimonial troubles to his
congregation. He said that no one in
the church was in any way connected
with the difficulty between himself and
his wife. He said that when full revela-
tions were made his flock would be
greatly astonished. He referred, it is
believed TO sleighing party, during
which, it is alleged, Mrs. Mcfarland
drank too much.
Two pretty little daughters, and 0
years old, are in the custody Of Rev. Nc
Farland. His wife wished to take the
younger one with her TO Allegheny, but
he would not allow them to be sepa-
rated. A church committee conferred
with Rev. Mcfarland regarding his fur
ther connection with the congregation.
1t was decided that his relations should
continue MS before.
