4 CASE OF BULLDOZISG.
a Man and Woman Brutality Beaten on
SuspiciOn

49,
suspicion.
The report of u very discreditable case
of bulldOzing comes from beat 4. The
circumstances, rs told TO LEADER re-
porter, were about as follows:
a short time ago, while S. J. Holloway
and all of his family were away from
home, attempting to check II forest fire
which was threatening his fencing, some
one went to his house, broke open trunk
i'll which he had his money secreted, and
stole thercfrom $4,000. As soon as Hol-
lOway discovered the theft, which was
soon after its committal, he suspected J.
NJ. Hughes, II white man living on his
place, as the thief, and finally became
so firmly convinced of this in his own
mind that ho made out an affidavit n
few days aftcrward before Justice Rat
cliff and had Hughes arrested. The ar
rest was made last Thursday by Consta bic
ID. j. Lard, and the Cons table and two
deputies (Aaron Lotion aud ). Is. WactOr, }
started with the prisoner to carry him
before the Justice for II preliminary trial.
On the way, so the account goes, they
were met 10y about ~ armed men wear
ing masks, who placed the guard under
arrest and took charge of the prisoner
Hughes was then beaten numerically
aud Strangled by turns for the purpose
OF making him confess the crime and tell
the whereabouts of the stolen money.
This he finally did aud said he had hid
den the money at certain place which
lie would point out. He was at once
carried by his prosecutors to the place.
aud no money being found, he explained
it by saying it must have been taken
away by Il white woman of bad rcputc
named Francis GIL. The mobbers then
sought the woman and told her W hat
Hughes had said, hughes repeating the
charge in her presence, but She denied
all knowledge of any money, whercupon
she was subjected to Il brutal beating for
the purpose of making her confess, but
all to no purpose.
Our informant says the opinion pre-
walls among many that neither Hughes
nor the woman knew any thing about
the money, and that Hughes acknowl-
edge, the crime simply to keep from being
beaten to death. He seems to be Il man
of unsavory character, and though he
has wife, is charged with keeping the
woman Francis Gill as his paramour.
Before taking their departure, the mob
ordered him to leave the county, but at
last accounts, he was too bad off to obey.
The constable and his deputies say
they were unable to recognize amy of the
mob, not even any of their horses.

In Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3.-Early IN the
evening the streets were blockaded with
thousands of people to witness the two
great parades which had been announced.
The fears of a conflict had largely abated
during the week owing to the extraordi-
nary precautions employed by the author.
tiles and managers of both parties. The
best of good feeling prevailed everywhere,
and so far as can be learned at this late
hour no trouble of any kind occurred.
The Republican procession numbered
about 4, 700 men and was reviewed by
Gen. Harrison from the balcony Of the
New Denison hotel.
The Democratic demonstration was
equally as creditable as the Republican.
Chairman Jewett and a number of other
distinguished Democrats reviewed the
procession from the balcony of the Grand
hotel. About 1880 men were in line.
The parade managers of both demon
STATIONS profess great satisfaction, and

Chinese

OTTAWA, Nov. 3.-Before taking ac-
ton with regard to the removal of the
Chinese interpreter from Victoria the de.
partment will see what effect the United
States exclusion bill will have on Chinese
immigration into Canada. 1t appears
from recent returns to the department
that a large majority of the Chinese enter
ing Canada of late have landed at Van
couver. The necessity of keeping an in
terpreter at either port depends on the
trade Of the future, but there is no doubt
that owing to the large Chinese trade done
at Victoria an interpreter of some kind
will have to be kept at that place. A
customs preventive officer at New Bruins
wick collected duty recently on a casket
containing a body being brought into Can
ada from Boston for burial. Application
has been made to the department asking
that the duty collected be refunded.

Bold Train

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3.-The United
States express messenger on the New
Orleans & Northeastern railway, which
arrived here this morning, was robbed at
8 a. m. between Lacey and Derby sta
tions, fifty miles frem this city. The ex-
press officials decline to state the amount
of the robbery, but it is understood that
the loss is between $40. 900 and $50, 900.
The robber entered tie express car
where Henry McElroy, the baggage mas
ter, was sitting near the middle of the
car, and Express Messenger Charles Lau-
rey at one end checking off freight. The
robber came first to the baggage master
and presenting a pistol required McElroy
to hold up his hands. Quickly throwing
a sack over McElroy's head the robber
gave his attention to the messenger, who
was required at the point of a pistol to
open the safe. A sack was then placed
over the messengers head while the rob-
Der proceeded with his work of securing
the money. Alter helping himself to the
contents of the safe the robber pulled the
bell rope, and when the train stopped he
lett the car unobserved. When the ex-
press car was finally reached by the con.
dUctor both McElroy and Laurey were
found standing with their hands up and
the sacks over their heads. They were
under the impression that the robber wgs
still present.

tobacco men. Every man of the latter
had a leaf of tobacco plant suspended to
the lapel of his coat or a mammoth plug
suspended from his neck.
The brokers' club was one of the fea-
lures of the parade, Each man carried a
zane to which was attached a small
American flag. Then came the mem
bers of the consolidated exchange, the
other associations filing into Broadway
from Wall street being the produce and
maritime exchanges. custom house brok-
ers, cotton exchange, A. R. Whitney,
Bowling Green, the Harrison and Morton
Workingmen's Protective Association

straw goods. wholesale milliners, gas fix
lures employees, East Side business men
building material, the up town Business
Mems Association, New York university
students and dental students from above
Chambers street.
The scene beggars description. Crowds
obstructed the side walks and the win
dows of the tall buildings on both sides
of Broadway were filled with spectators.
In Chambers street for many blocks above
marching clubs waited for over two hours
after the head of the procession had
passed them before their right was uncov-
cred by organizations starting further
down town. In fact, the extreme lett of
the line was not in motion until after 5
o'clock.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed all
along the line. Here and there in the
bewildering display Of stars and stripes
and Republican insignia were occasional
papers bearing Chinese characters and
paraders Haunted their little American
flags and Kissed the bandanas. and
groaned at the portraits of the Democratic
candidates. The headquarters of the
Republican national committee were pro-
fusely decorated and a banner bearing the
portraits of the candidates waved over the
cheering thousands.
Messrs. Warner Miller, Hon. Levi p.
Morton, Col. Cruger and Gen. John G.
Fremont reviewed the parade from a
stand at the Worth monument on Madi-
son square. Hon. James G.. Bluine
watched the pageant from one of the win
dows of the Fifth Avenue hotel, and af-
forwards expressed regret that he. had
been unable to get to the reviewing stand.
1t is estimated that at least So 900 men
men participated in the parade. While
approaching the reviewing stand Broker
VIM. j. Osbourne, one OF the paraders,
dropped dead and was borne away.
Shortly above the reviewing stand the
parade was dlsbanded.
