ohio's Leading City Nearly Bankrupt-
Looking for Axworthy.

BosToN, October 24.-In regard to tht
report in Cleveland that Treasurer Ak
worthy had negotiated $4,000 worth d
the city OF Cleveland's bonds in Boston,
receiving the cash and then going to Mon.
treal, it ia learned that the last Cleveland
loan issued previous to September %, at
which time Axworthy was reported to
have visited New York. It is not believed
that he came to Boston. This last loan
was regularly made and taken by the
Blake Brothers & Co. The bonds were not
h~ypothecated, and if Axworthy had the
proceeds the city will be the looser.
HE WAS IN MONTREAL.
MONTREAL, October 24-Cleveland, o.,
detectives arrived here this morning in
search of Axworthy. Axworthy arrived
here on the night Of the 3Oth.of September
from New York. and registered under his
proper name al st. Lawrence Hall. He
left October 2. While here he consulted q
who informed him that his offense
was extraditable. He appeared to be
laboring under great mental agony and
drank hard.
q CITY
CLEVELAND, October .24.-There are
about $45O,000 belonging to the city de-
in a half dozen banks, but the
OF Axworthy attached it, and
the result is that the city is bankrupt. Kauf-
man Hayes, a member of the Council, has
been given charge OF the office. At present
there are only $4,000 in the city vaults.
When that is paid out the Treasurer's
office will be closed for financial repairs.

Lereau, a French Canadian, in the en-

He is evidently now in Butte rs posters,

The call is signed per order of the COM

The "committee" consists of Lereau who
receives $40 per day from the Tomcarter
sackfor his services and an additional per
capita tax for each voter he succeeds in
inducing to join his clubs. In other words he
is a head hunter. The more names he
can show on his lists the more money, of
course, he gets from the bosses. So far he
has made but little above his regular
salary of $40 per diem, as he has been able
to secure but few coups. The man does it
simply for the money he receives, and it
is extremely doubtful whether ever he him.

laboring and sending out calls signed by an

"Forways that are dark, the bosses are
indeed peculiar, but, unfortunately for
themselves, they seem unable to hide their
tracks.

IN DEFENSE OF THE CHINESE.
The American Missionary Society Thinks
an Injustice Has Been Done.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., October 24.-At the
AID anniversary meeting OF the American
Missionary Society, to-day, DR.. Gilbert
read a report on the missions of the
association among the Chinese in America.
1t was necessary, he said, to push this
work. The success of this work and the
Injustice lately done this people made it
very necessary to, push it. There are no
more observant people in the world, nor
one more sure to appreciate the difference
between the treatment they receive from
our missionaries and that of the politicians.
Dr.. Dana thought We had Il golden OPP
p~ortunity to give all the Chinese, as they
from time to time return 10 China, a favor
able rather than al ~unfavorable opinion of
christianity, aud to many of them a vital
experience of it's power.

MINNEAPOLIS, October 23.-J. Harpmen,
who has just returned from another visit
to Ramsey county, Dakota, says OF the
Polish jew sufferers there that the settle.
ment is eighteen miles from Devils Lake
and comprises 20 families numbering 23s
souls.
They came here two years agolast spring,
procured land, built houses and went to
work to clear land and become independent
farmers. Those without money mortgaged
their land and borrowed enough to pay the
government price. They raised q fair crop
the first year, and the prospects were 30
bright that they mortgaged lands and other
property to purchase stock and farm ma
chinery.
The second year they planted a much
larger acreage. Notes and mortgages
signed by them bore exorbitant interest.
About the middle of August q severe frost
came and
RUINED THE ENTIRE WHEAT CROP,
leaving them only about as many potatoes
as they used for planting, and barely
enough oats to winter their stock.
Trouble and suffering began at once. Mer-
chants who heretofore had been anxious to
supply all their wants, refused credit to
them any more. Nearly every creditor be-
came alarmed and foreclosed. The situa-
tion becameso bad that the sheriff refused
to INFECT further suffering on the people by
taking their property. He found them
without fuel or bread. They were using
the droppings OF cattle for fuel to cook
such few articles as they could get. Men,
women and children were in rags, and
without footwear.
For the present their most pressing needs
are fuel and bread, and these articles must
be had at once, for every day is OF
SUFFERING AND PRIvATIoN.
We visited about twenty houses and
found all, with but two exceptions, with
out a stick OF wood or any other material
for fire except cattle droppings. On Sat.
urday ice was three-fourths OF an inch
thick and we found numerous little children
with bare feet and legs.
One Woman with two small girls, with
bare limbs and feet, was trying to keep
warm on the sunny side of the house.
Some creditor had taken her COW and left
her to starve with her little ones.

NEW York, October PA letter from
Panama dated October 16 says: Advices
by the steamer Moselle, which arrived at
Aspinwall on the 10th inst. from Hayti,
state that never before as at Port Au
Prince the people passed such a night as
that Of September %.
The night, to begin with, was dreadfully
dark, with occasional flashes of lightning.
Revolution was abroad. Firing commenced
at 7:3O D. H., and the cannons and Gatling
guns of the ralace did dreadful execution,
as did also the big guns on Fort Alexander,
which crashed clear through the buildings,
destroying everything and everybody with
which they came in contact. The firing
continued up TO 9. a. m. on the goth.
These advices say as far as can be ascer-
tanned 300 persons were killed and over 500
were wounded, including many women and
children. Among the notable persons
killed, besides General Seide Telemaque,
were Charles Borno and Ducasse.

Long before the curtain rang down on the

more pronounced than ever.
IAN UNEQUAL MATCH TONIGHT.
Tonight Rhea will present Tom Tayior,s
play A Unequal Match" one of the best
plays OF the modern school. The Omaha
Bee speaks of it in the following terms:
1.-THE charming comedy OF AN UNEQUAL
Match one OF the very best OF the mooern
school, was the attraction at yesterdays
matinee at Boyd's, and Rhea was seen by O
fairly numerous audience ia the character
oil Hester G~razebrook. There was good
judgment in placing this part in her roper
tory, which If not her most successful inn
.personation, is OF equal Importance with
any OF the others, while it gives a larger
conception of the versatility Inc fine dra-
matte intelligence OF the actress than could
otherwise be had. 1t was very heartily ap-
preciated."
BY SPECIAL REQUEST.
During the performance OF "a Dangerous
Game" last night, at Maguire's Theater,
Mile. Rhea was requested by several of our
prominent ladies and gentlemen, to repeat
the play on Friday night, as a personal
to them and their friends, who were !
with Sardou's master comedy, |
that they will make g large theater party |
and attend, and they feel certain that the |
success of the play last night will assure a
full house tomorrow night.

a full-rigged, three-masted ship was cap
sized by the wind in Buttermilk channel.
The vessel was overturned just as a tug

ballast, which caused her to capsize so
easily. The capsized ship was the Spanish

which was struck was seriously damaged,
