Forged Party Clap-Trap.
phIladalnhia TimeR.

The following forged utterances
are now widely circulated by political
knaves. who always assume that the
people are fools:
Grover Cleveland has done more tY
advance the cause of free trade than
any Prime Minister Of England has
ever done.-LOndon Spectator.
The only time England can use an
Irishman is when be emigrates to
America and votes FIR free trade
London Times.
The Golden Club Is trying to raise
q large sum OF money to be spent in
furthering the free-trade propaganda

has given $1,000. others less. and the
hat is going around.-Enqtish Iron
Era.
I believe in free trade as | believe
in the Protestant religion.-Grocer
Clereldnd.
Every one Of the foregoing alleged
! utterances of the papers named and
Of the President, is the deliberate and
malicious invention of some utterly
reckless campaign liar who assumes
III It in politics be has TO deal only
with campaign fools These forged
clap-trap sentences are scattered

that here and there some voters will

The responsible party dealers have
been so often called to account for
these clap~trap forgeries that they
have finally attempted TO explain and
excuse them. 1t is admitted that the
London Spectator never uttered the
sentence falsely credited to it, but i

IJourpal did utter il, and, for the pre-
sent, il /. imputed 70 the Economist

SAN FRAECIsCO, CAL, November A
Fresno special gives the particulars Of a
desperate fight in a court house there yes
terday, which resulted in the death of two
well known citizens. Several days ago Rob
ert Sronce, guardian of a girl named Ida
Hitchcock, aged II years, brought suit
against W. A. Carruthers, a wealthy farmer,
for S25,0 600 damages for SANDER. The case
has bsen on trial in the superior court for
several days, and has been holly contested
by both sides. All of the people of the
neighborhOod have been witnesses and
much bitterness has been engendered. A
young man named Henry HardWick, mar
ried, swOre he had been intimate with the
girl. SrOnce, the guardian, told HardWlck
he believed he had been hired to swear to
lie, and that if it proved to be so he would
put him through.
The plaintiff put two of the best known
physicians In this city on the witness stand
girl and she was virtuous, Of this they were
positive.
Soon as this evidence was given the court
adjourned for an hour at the request OF the
defense. SrOnce, the guardian, was stand
ing In the hall OF the court house when
Hardwick came out and started down the
stairs. SrOuce said:
''Now, you id perjurer," and struck
Aaru"1cA over the ntau Win AguL CHS.
The two cllnched, and SrOnce's brother ran
down the stairs and cOught SrOnce. AS
soon as HardWick saw SrOnce in his broth
er's grasp, he pulled a revolver and placed
it against SrOnce's left side and fred. The
shot set fire to SrOnce's clothes. SrOnce's
brother then pulled revolver and fired at
Hardwick. who returned The fire, shooting
his victim twice more. flrOuC6's brother
fred a second time, shooting Hardwick IN
the right side. Great excitement prevailed.
Women tainted. Men drew WeaDOES. and
for a minute it looked as if a general riot
would ensue. Both the wounded men and
Sronce's brother were taken to Jail, and a
number of doctors summoned. Both men
died of their injuries.
1t Is now thought the girl will get a YER
dict for the full amount. All sympathy IS
with SrOnce, who Is al excellent citizen.
MRS. SrOnce Is nearly insane, while the
plaintiff in the case, Ida Hitchcock, is in a
very bad condition over her guardian 8

CLEVELAND, ONO, October 31.-Sherih
Sawy er, who has been looking for Ex-Treas-
urer AZWOrthy's property, had the door of
the treasurer's private vault in the National
bank of Commerce forced open yesterday
afternoon, and found there a lot of stocks,
bonds and miscellaneous securities. The
property has been appraised at 1852, 600.
Experts say that if attended to these securi-
was a startling find. AxwOrthy's stauoh
friends insist that more property will be
found; that an accident or foul play has
caused his absence. But as the investiga-
ton goes on it shows that Axw0rthy has
been in financial straits ever since the FL
deity bank failure. Since the winter of
1856 he has converted SlO2, 600 worth of real
estate into cash. Real estate now in his
name is valued at $4,000 and Is mOrtgaged
for S14, OOO His shipping interests are not
worth more than $50 900, so that for a short
age of $4S0,OO0 only about S225,OOO worth
of property Is left.

n DIsfrAnchisement Bill.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, No 7ember 4.-Advices
from the Indian territory are that consid-
cradle excitement has been created in the
Choctaw nation by the action of Chief B. F.
Smallwood IN vetOing the bill passed by
both houses Of the Choctaw legislature dis
franchising persons convicted of criminal
Otfenses. Following Is the measure:
THAT it shall not be lawful for any per
son convicted of a criminal Ofense in the
ChOctaw nation or the United States court,
having jurisdiction over the ChOctaw ma
ton, except manslaughter, to hold Office or
allow his oath to vote, or be allowed to serve
on jury In the Choctaw nation, and is shall
be the duty of the CLERK of each circuit court
to furnish a correct list of ali persons so
convicted of criminal Ofenses at each term
of their respective courts to the clerks Of the
other circuit courts, to be recorded in
book kept for the purpose and for public
inspection"
The senate passed the bill over the chiefs
veto by veto of to 3, but the house failed
to muster twO-thirds majority against 1t.
Chief SmalIwoOd held that the ChOctaw
constitution provided that every free mae
citizen Is years old and residing six
months in the nation was entitled to vote,
and that the legislature had no legal power
to prevent the exercise of this privilege.

Tha ParneIL CommLgsIon.

LONDON, October 3I.-The Parneu com
mission re-assembIed to-day. Attorney
General Webster requested the court to
withhold its permission for the defense to
inspect the books of the Hibernian order.
Sir Walter Philip Moore, counsel for the
Hibernian bank, contended that the com
mission had no power to compel the prOduc-
ton of the books. Presiding Justice Han
nen said he would not discuss the question.
If banks under color of protecting the pri-
vacy of clients INSTRUCTED orders of court,
the court would be constrained to put it's
powers into force.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for ParuelI-
ties, intimated that his clients had not the
slightest objection to the production of the
books. The court then heard the formal
evidence proving the correctness of the
shorthand notes of speeches. from which the
attorney general quoted in his presentation
Of the Times case last week.
