 Sir Lewis had been a younger son; the eldest inherited the family title, but died carly, leaving his widow to give him. a posthumous heir, the title remaining in abeyanee until time showed whether the infant was boy or girl. It proved to be a boy, whereupon Lewis Mallaby, who had the first information of the fact, put into execution nefarious project which he had carefully concocted in advance. A girl was obtained in a founding hospital and substituted by Lady Mallaby's nurse, who was in Lewis pay, for the newly-born son and heir. This son and heir was handed over to another aeeomplice, Hester Corrigan, who was bribed with Gl00, half down, in the shape of a half-note, the other half to be pad when she announced her safe arrival in Texas with the stolen child. It oc- cured to Mrs. Corrigan in her transit between London and Liverpool that though 4100 would be acceptable on her arrival. the child would be only an incumbranee.

named Flanagan, left Pittston with $780, ,00O
in their possession to go to the works and
pay the men. On their way to the works
they had to pass through a lonely strip Of
woods
just as they had turned bend in the road
well aimed shot came whistling from an
ambush among the trees, and Mcclure fell
from his horse. Flanagan, startled by the
siddenness of the attack, hesitated mo-
ment, and the delay, though only momen
tary, was long enough to give the concealed
assassins the advantage they needed. Three
more shots completed their deadly work.
One sent poor McGuinness headlong from his
horse and the others killed the horse. The
money is missing. The whole affair must
have been accomplished SO quickly and dex
terously that the men had no time to defend
themselves.
The Victims were young 1rishmen, and were
very well and favorably known in Wilkes

lady OF this city, and was to have been inar-

THE LAW UPHELD.

Iowa's Prehibitory Law Declared Consti-
tutional by the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, OCT sS-The supreme court
sustained che constitutionality of the prohi-
bition Jaw of Iowa. The poipt at issue was
the right to manufacture intoxicating liquors
solely for expectation to other states, despite
the state law, and it was pleaded that the
pfohibitory feature, in so far as the manu-
facture for expectation is concerned, was in
conHicl IL - constitutional proviss::ons
giving congress ths sofs right to regulate
interstate commerce The case is that of J.
S. Kidd, a distiller, plaintiff in error, versus
I. E. Pearson and S~J. Loughras.
The court holds that the state law prohib.
iting both the manufacture and the sale, en-
cept for mechanical, medicinal culinary and
sacramental purposes, is not in conflict with
the interstate commerce provisions, and the
decision of the Iowa court is sustained.
Opinion by Justice Lamar
The decision practically makes no differ
ence in the status of the distillery, and would
not if it had been the reverse, for since this
litigation was begun the Iowa legislature has
passed a law that has closed all distilleries
and breweries by forbidding manufacture
for any purpose. The decision sustains the
new law, and renders unnecessary any test
case under it.

III WAS HIS BUSY DAY
President Cleveland Very Much
Engaged on Saturday.
HOW HIS TIME WAS PUT IN.

The Last Bill Signed in the Nick of Time.
Departing Members of Congress Call to
Say Good-by-sioux Chiefs Go to See
the 'Great Father"-Othsr Callers.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Saturday was the
presidents busy day. Not that he is not busy
every day, but Saturday being the day upon
which congress had decided to adjourn and
did adjourn, he was especially busy. He
came in from his country residence before
o'clock, and no sooner had he entered the
White House than messengers were hurrying
from there to the various departments for
the return of bills which had passed con-
gress, but which had not yet been returned
from the departments to which they had
been referred by the president for report.
These in hand, the president spent several
hours in looking over reports and attaching
his signature to bills-n most tedious task.
Fortunately he did not find any that he
deemed it necessary to veto-having two days
previously found thirteen which he could not
sign, and SO notified congress. Hardly had
he finished the consideration Of these bills
and sent them to the capitol with his ap-
proval, than the joint committee of the house
and senate called 10 inform him that con-
gress was ready to adjourn unless he had
some communication to impart that would
necessitate their remaining in session longer.
The president spent about fifteen minutes
with the committee, and it had hardly left
the mansion before @ messenger rushed up
with resolution that had Just passed both
houses, extending the time for the retention Of
the government exhibits at the Cincinnati ex-
position until November. This being harm
less resolution, involving no financial outlay,
and clean on It's face, it was signed forthwith
Had the signature of the executive been de-
layed five minutes the measure would not
have become a law, as it had to be signed
before p. IN or die Congress had not been
adjourned five minutes before the White
House was crowded with members and sena-
tors who intended to take the outgoing after
noon trains for home, who wished to say good
by and at the same time put in a parting
word for the reappointment during the recess
of the nominees who had failed of confirma-
ton by the senate.
The mansion was still well filed with sena-
tors and members when, at 8 p. nl., the Sioux
Indians called. They had not yet seen the
'great father The president at once ex-
cused himself, entered the East room and
shook hands with each member of the party.
He remained with them for nearly half an
hour. The shadows of the Indians had hardly
ceased to darken the portals of the White
House when a delegation of white men from
the far west, headed by Col. Ordway, of
Dakota, called. These gentlemen We're also
received, and occupied the attention of the
president for twenty minutes. 1t was after
o'clock before Mr.. Cleveland had moment
to himself, and shortly after that hour he re-
turned to Oak View.

Governor Hilrs Ambition.

NEW York, Oct 2S.-Chairman Brice of
the Democratic national committee, in the
course of some remarks to the Business Mems
Cleveland and Thurman club, said that in
his interview Sunday with Governor Hill the
governor assured him that he was a firm
friend of the administration; that if Presi-
dent Cleveland could not be reelected the
governor cared nothing about reelection.
In fact, he would rather be defeated than to
be elected and have President Cleveland de-
feated. If Democratic governor was elected
without Democratic president, said Cover
nor Hill, it would be a death blow to his
Governor Hills political ambitions.

ASPEN, Colo, Oct. 20.-The Aspen mine,
which has been the scene Of so many sensa-

another. Wednesday night cave was
struck, thirty feet long and seventy feet high.
On one of the walls a bed of ore seven feet
thick and enormously rich was found. Some

all average several hundred ounces.

Disaster.
MAUcH CEysK, Pa, Oct 23.-A verdict in
the Mud Run wreck was rendered at this
city. 1t is as follows:
We find that the engineers of locomotives
452 and 466 Of the seventh section were guilty
OF gross negligence; first in failing to dis
cover the red signal in time, the evidence
clearly showing that this signal was in
full view as their train approached; and,
secondly, for lot approaching the station
under full control, as required by both the
general and special orders. The evidence also
shows that the air brakes of the entire seventh
section were under the control Of the engineer
of locomotive s66, and that he could have
stopped the train in spite of the locomotive
ahead, No. 452 We find that the look
out men Of locomotives 452 and 465 were
guilty OF gross negligence in failing
to report to their respective engineer
the red light at the station as the
train approached These men were placed
on their respective engines as an additional
precaution, their special duty being to look
out for signals The lookout men on Asa
failed to see the signal. The other one on 466
testified that he saw it when about 1 500 feet
from the station, and yet he reported al
right to the engineer and claims that he did
not think the red light meant anything, al
nobody used it. We find that the rear brake
man of the sixth section was guilty of gross
negligence when his train stopped. Instead
of promptly going back the proper distance
to warn the approaching train he stopped at
the station. There was time enough for him
to have gone back nearly half mile, but h4
went less than 400 feet. We find that the
conductors of the two sections failed in their
duty. The first in not conforming to the rule
requiring each conductor to see personally
that his brakeman protects the rear OF his
train, and the second in not requiring his
train to approach the station under control.

Working Together. 81
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20-The Call last
evening said: An effort to secure the frater-
nal cooperation of all the labor organizations
IN this country is being made, with very
fair prospect of success. 1t has been known
for some time that leaders Of several of the
large organizations were ready to accept the
olive branch from the heads of kindred socie-
ties, but up to to-day no one had taken the
initiative.
General Master Workman Powderly made
the first movement by sending kilograms to
the conventions of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, at Richmond, and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen, which is
in session at Columbus
The dispatch to Chief Arthur is as follows:
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.
F. NJ. Arthur, G. c. E, B. of L. E., Richmond, Va.
Accept fraternal greeting and best wishes for
successful session.
VIII your convention consent to fraternal CO.
operation with other labor organizations, to the
end that all disputes may be properly and equit-
ably adjusted?
The time Is now at hand when all the labor Or
eanizations on this continent, forgetful of the
past, should cooperate essentials for the vel
fare OF all. Our hand is extended in friendship.

Justice Fuller,s First un.nion.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-ChieJ Justice Flu,
Ter yesterday delivered his frs opinion in the
supreme court. The case was that of the
Western Union Telegraph company versus
Pennsylvania. The state levied tax on all
kilograms passing over the company's lines
within the state, regardless of the fact that
much of the business was not confined wholly
to the state. The supreme court held that
the state was not entitled to collect tax ex
cept for messages between points within its
borders, and accordingly reversed the judg-
ment of the state court.
