HOLMES AND THE WHITE CAPS.
Rockford, Ill, All Worked Up Over the
Minister'S Case.

ROCKFORD, H.. Dec. 1S.-Rev. Meade
Holmes went home from the council meet
ing last night accompanied by bodyguard
to protect him from the White Caps. The
serious part of the matter cropped out
yesterday when a license alderman, f. w
Blaisde!l, declared his intention of COM
mencing suit against Mr.. Holmes for
Islander. In an interview published Sat
turday Mr.. Homes, it is claimed, init
mated that Mr.. Blasdell, who is his an
tagOnist in the council. was responsible
for the White Cap letter and also author
of letter rejecting on him Holiness in a
paper printed in Chicago in the interest Of
the liquor dealers Mr.. Holmes has re-
celved an enormous number OF letters from
all over the country, both of encourage
ment and condemnation Of his course. He
has received a quantity OF papers with
marked copies containing statements OF
all outrages which the White Caps had
perpetrated. He has also received letters
signed by initials of officers of the genuine
White Caps, claiming that the first. letter
was bogus and adding that if he is further
molested the real White Caps will take up
his cause and avenge him.
In the council last night Mr.. Holmes
caused sensation by producing the White
Cap letter and bomb found on his door
step.
Alderman Davis offered resolution con-
demning the attack upon Mr. Holmes, but
ii was tabled. Then Alderman Blaisdell
arose in great passion and said: at is a
base, cOWardly insinuatiOn for MIR. Holmes

Of northern Illinois. who know me we'll,
and before the people OF the east. / say it
is base, cowardly insinuation, and don t
propose to associate with such man. If
he is a crank he ought not to be here Ii
he is dishonest man he ought not to be
here, and if he is to remain in this council
l will not and l will resign tomorrow.
Mr.. Blaisdell then seized his hat and left
the council chamber, and shortly after
ward the board adjourned amid great con-
fusion.

REGARDING STANLEY.
Much Doubt as to the Alleged Capture
Exists in Berlin.

BERLIN, Dec. 1S.-lnterest in African af-
fairs, as for the moment, all center in the
fate of Emin Pasha and Henry NJ. Stanley
Lieutenant Wiesmann at a public meeting
in Cologne, in October, said that Emin 5
position at Wadelia formed wall which
separated the Arabs of The Soudan from
those of the south and that if the wall COL
lapsed the whole Arab movement would be
so strengthened that it would require a
hundred fold greater sacrifices TO mas
ter it.
The greatest doubt is thrown here on the
report that Stanley has been captured 1t
is argued that the alleged fight must
have occurred between the third and
fifth degrees of north latitude,
between Lado and Wadelai The distance
to Omndurman, Gilman Dignas head
quarters, is ,2O0 miles and thence to Sua-
kim is another 400 miles. The swiftest
messenger would take four months to
cover the entire distance. The result of
the discussions of the Emin relief COM
mittee, however, is the postponement of
the departure Of Lieutenant Niesmau I'M
til definite news has been obtained Of
Emin's fate, Lieutenant Wiesman urging
that if news of Emin's capture were true,
important notifications OF his plans would
be necessary in view OF increased difficult
ties he would be almost certain to meet.

not have been familiar with details Of the

ATTEMPTED TRAIN WRECKIEG
The Second Efolt to Throw a St. Louis
& San Francisco Express


SPRINGFIELD, Mo, Dec. 1S.-A second
ATTEMPT to wreck the Texas express train
on the st. Louis & san Francisco railroad
was made al o'clock this morning at Ly-
man station, four miles east of this city
The switch bolts were removed and the
rails spread to throw the train over an
embankment. but the switch target was
left in proper position. Fortunately for
the two hundred souls on the train a wild
engine was running ahead and they
plunged through the switch at forty
mile speed. The engine was demolished
mile The firemanewith broken ankle,
dragged himself back for more than q
nile and tagged the train, saving it from
destruction. There is no cine to the per-
petrators of the diabolical deed, but they
are evidently the same who attempted TO
wreck the St. Louis mail train a few days

SENSATIONAL BRIBERY CASE

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 1S-A sensation
was caused here today at a nesting of the
special committee appointed to select
counsel to investigate the charges Of
bribery in connection with efforts of the
Philadelphia Il Northern elevated railroad
TO secure from the council the privilege of
constructing an elevated railroad through
this city. Mr.. Graham, member of the
select council, last week informed the COM
mittee that he had been offered /. 900 shares
Of elevated stock to use his influence and
vote IN favor of the enterprise, but he re-
fused to divulge the name of the person
who had made the offer. Mr. Graham
was again before the committee today and
informed them that the offer of elevated
stock to him for his influence and vote had
been made in June 1854 by Mr. Deli Mob
bltt, who at that time was president of the
Corn Exchange National bank. Mr. era
ham added that he and Mr. Nobbitt were
intimate friends and the latter had told
ham that he was urged to make the offer
by Robert B. E-ler, father of Vice Presi-
dent Fred X. B. Esler Of the elevated rail
road company.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Graham's state
ment the committee directed subpoensS to
be issued for the appearance on Friday
next OF Mr.. Nobbjtt the NeSsrs Esler. and
several others, whom Mr.. Graham stated
were aware of the fact that the offer had
been made TO him by Mr.. Nobbitt.

murder is almost forgotten Today, while
people eagerly inquire the latest from an
other startling murder mystery Last
night the coroner went out and brought to
the city the body of man found murdered
in the woods near OXmOor, about four
miles from this city. The dead body has
not yet been identified and the crime
promises to develop into almost AS great a
sensational mystery as the Halves murder
The murdered man was about 30 years
of age, well dressed and was evidently a
gentleman in good circumstances. The
body has been at undertaking rooms in
the city all day and was seen by
hundreds of people, but no one
had ever seen the face before
The man was most brutally murdered
his head being beaten into pulp by q
heavy iron rad. Robbery was undoubted-
ly the motive for the crime, but there is
no clue to the murderer.
With the discovery of this body came
news of another man missing and his
friends suppose be has been murdered.
