Prominent New Workers Charged with
Conspiracy and Theft.
;Copui0ht. 1888. by TIE California associated Press,
BUFFALO. August 24th.-Three prominent
citizns of Ogdensburg were yesterday ar.
rested by q United States Marshal and
charged with conspiracy and stealing 77C
pounds of prepared opium from the Gus.
tom-house at Ogdensburg at one time and
100 pounds at another time. The arrested
men are John W. Stone, a lawyer; Ma.
thaniel II. Little, Jr., Deputy Collector Of
Customs at Ogdensburg; and Cumminsky
janitor of the Custom-house at Ogdensburg
This is the outcome of the arrest of Erwin
r. Gardner at Ogdensburg last winter. He
and EDhraim Gardner were found with
nearly $25, 900 worth of opium in their pos.
session, part of which it was determined
on investigation was placed in the Custom.
house in ogdensburg for safe keeping, and
few days after was offered for sale by
Gardner in Chicago. The three men ar.
rested yesterday are in jail here.
LATER-The alleged conspiring opium
smugglers from Ogdensburg were held un-
der heavy bail of $50, 900 each.
eARDNER's TELL-TALE LETTERS.
CHICAGO, August 24th.-The three arrests
at Ogdensburs in connection with the
OPiuh SouoPhucy appear W udfc uctl uue
to discoveries in Gardner's papers captured
here. Among the documents were letters
from Stone to Gardner clearly establishing
the fact, it is said, that there was an agree
ment between Stone. the Ogdensburg law
yer, Nathaniel Lytle, Jr., Deputy Collector
at Ogdensburg, and w. J. Cumminsky
janitor of the Custom-house to "shift :"
some opium in the custody of Lytle.
This was the stuff confiscated at
Ogdensburg last winter. It had been
smuggled into the United States by Gard
ner, and he was Under bail of $3.50 for
the offense. The shift meant that the
Government was to be robbed. The dis
posal of it by Gardner would make him
and his confederates rich, and with its dis
appearance the evidence of the original
crime for which he was to be punished
would be gone.
From Gardner's letters it appears that
Deputy Collector Lytle was to receive
81 900 and Janitor Cummisky 81 600 of the
spoils. The scheme was to put little blocks
in place of the opium cans in the Govern
ment vaults at Ogdenshurg until the
trial of Gardner, when the discovery of the
deception would undoubtedly result in his
release

Moscow the Scene of Acts of Outiayrsy
and Murder.
MEMPHIS Tenn, August 24th.-Neve,
was received here on Wednesday of :.
bloody outrage at Moscow, little town
forty miles from Memphis.
Some time ago Dick Lewis, desperate
white man, was fined $40 by Gus. Sterger,
the Mayor, for an unprovoked assault upon
an innocent negro. He vowed vengeance
on Sterger, and be kept bis word.
Last Friday Dick Lewis and his brother
Jim, accompanied by Jim Young, Dick
Lawrence and Jim Baldwin, rode into the
town and wrecked saloon, after forcing
the bar-keeper to give them all the whisky
they wanted.
Mayor Sterger. who also acts as Town
Marshal, heard of the row, and went down
to quell it, and when he came up to the
riders they greeted him in friendly man
ner, so that he was thrown off his guard.
They then surrounded him, and by quick
movement Dick Lewis sprapg upon him
and pinioned his arms. As soon as Ster-
ger was thus made helpless Jim Young de-
hberately drew pistol and shot him in
the face
Sterger fell, and three more bullets were
fired into bis body by other members of
the party. The desperadoes then mounted
their horses and fed, and at last accounts
had not been captured. Stergers wounds
are mortal

The Struggle for the Mastery Now Going

IcopSiS. 1888, BY 2e California Associased Prs,,
WASHINGTON, August 24th.-The Presi-
dents message on the subject of the fish
cries has been the absorbing topic of dis
cusslon among politicians everywhere to-
day, and the entire time of the Senate has
been occupied IL its discussion. The Re-
puoIcans admit that Cleveland has made a
mastery political stroke, but thev believe
that in the end it will fail to accomplish its
purpose.
The Democrats are iubilant. The cur
rent OF political sentiment has been run
nlng against them ever since the nomina-
uons were made, and they expect the Pres
ldents message to change the tide. For
the last two months Congress has been
nothing but
a POLITICAL cHECKERBoARD,
Over which the two parties to the game
have struggled for the mastery. No legis-
lation of public importance, beyond the
passage OF appropriation bills, has been
possible. The seven months which the
Democrats of the House occupied in pre-
pairing and passing the Mills bill was
wasted, because 1t was known in advance
that the Senate would not accept the bill.
Ii Is equally well known that the House
will not pass the bill which the Senate FL
nance Committee is building.
A BID FOR IRISH VOTES.
The rejection of the fishery treaty was
largely inspired by political motives, and
it is expected by the Democratic politicians
that Cleveland's message will capture thou
sands of Irish votes.
This is the political status of the case as
it appears in Washington. The impression
is that the removal of the fisheries question
Will still further delay the ad ournment.
