for the Peoples ticket, and he helped TO
put It there.
The street-cars didn't lhaye to be labeled
like the hacks.
A vast deal of doodle was layishly ex-
pended by the Citizens ticket advocates,
but the Peoples ticket entered the field
yesterday morning with less than 81 900 in
the treasury.
Brother Chase, you have a certain num-
Der OF friends who stand by you in a race
for city office, but not enough by about
1000. So also with Brother Speers 1t

wall for support. lie was overpowered.
And John Walsh lives in the First ward,
too. But it was the intelligent working
men and colored voters. The ward is Ill
Democratic.
An aged negro applied at the First ward
polls about / O'Clock yesterday afternoon
for a reception Of his red-back ticket.
Somebody asked him question bearing
on identity. "You knows you know me.
You's arrested me about hundred times
for bein' drunk"
A friend OF President IIadden says he
has placed the six last issues OF the Ledger
in n frame, to be presented TO President
lIadden's posterity, so they may know
what kind OF man he is, Another party
claimed that the Ledga's course made at
least 1000 votes for the Peoples ticket.

for home, saying, to a crowd OF several
dozen, "Boys, all 60 in and smile at my
expense, but excuse me- for I'm sick and
wish to leave the field"
Capt. Il. 7. Brown turned up yesterday
morning at an early hour as an earnest
worker for the Citizens ticket, and he
drove from poll to poll in buggy until
his horse smoked with perspiration from
head to tail. Near noon he gave IL up
and voted the Peoples ticket straight
through, which he had advocated by
speeches and otherwise until late Wednes-
day evening.
Col Petit and Gen. Luke Wright la
bored at the First ward poll all day. and
did good work. The bummeH OF the vi
cinity, looked on, but couldn't do any
thing but walk up and vote and 90 away.
Yves Crawford and Mr. Woodson did like
service at the Seventh ward poll, and Capt.
W. W. Miller labored the same way at the
Fifth ward poll. There was little or nc
repeating or bulldozing in consequence, rs
close watch was kept ON the terriers.
Swayback Wilson, ex-policeman, hack
driver, vegetable vendor etc, etc, worked
like trojan for the Citizens party for
several hours In the Seventh ward. Near
midday news began 10 come in that the
Peoples ticket was winning everywhere.
Charles began TO simmer down, rs II were,
and had less and less TO say. Finally,
he threw all his tickets away and pro-
claimed loudly that he and lis party had
been sold out by mean niggers, and hence
forth he will be found working for the
Democrats.

The Clerk of the Southern News Com
pany Gone. and $1,000 Missing.
The Southern News company, with its
Office at the Louisville & Nashville depot,
is out Of pocket TO the tune Of $1,000.
When the manager left the Office Wednes-
day night he left his clerk, George
Philips, there, and there was $1,000
cash In the safe. When he went TO the
Office yesterday morning, the safe was
wide open, and the 81 900 was not in II.
lie waited, and grew inpatient from wait
ing, for his clerk TO turn up at the Office,
but Phillips did not come, nor does he
know where he is. Phillips il married,
and lives with his wife in Chelsea. His
wife does not know where her husband
has gone, and states that he did not return
homo "Wednesday night She will go TO
Nashville in the morning, and has tele-
graphed TO Phillips father, who lives
there, TO meet her at the depot on arrival.
II Is supposed that Phillips left for the
west last night on a Dallas, Tex, sleeper.
A peculiar fact about the reported robbery
Is that nothing was said about II 10 the
police until late last night. Phillips is
described rs twenty-five years old, dark
hair and complexion, and well dressed.

than another Of which Gov. Lowry, Of Mis-

is the question Of pcnitentiary reform. In
the maze Of words about the subject which
he submits, II is not possible TO CLEAN

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-Consider-
able excitement was caused to-day by
the statement that one DIR. Mark
Raine attempted to kidnap Florence
Blythe, an heiress to the great Blythe
estate. 1t appears that in 1888
child named Annie Mooney was
lost at Belmont during a picnic,
and though large rewards were
offered she never had been found.
Raine became possessed of the idea
that Florence Blythe was the missing
child, and in 1875, it is said, he at
tempted to carry her off. On Satur-
day last he induced the MONEYS to
go with him to Berkeley, where Flor
ence was residing with a guardian,
Joseph Perry, and claim their child.
At the same time he confided his
plot to boy who visited at Perry's.
The latter told an officer, and when
the parties put in an appearance
Raine was arrested. The Mooney
family of course failed to recognize
their daughter in Florence Blythe.
Raine, in the opinion Of Chief Crow
ley, is a crank who ought to spend a
few months in the House of Correc-
ton. He was held on the charge of
attempting to steal the child. The
case comes up in two weeks.

PARIS, April 9.-In the election yes

Der of Deputies from the Department
Of the Dordogne, Gen. Boulanger We
chosen. He received $1,000 votes
against 35, $50 for Clerjonnie, the OPP
portunist candidate. The result was
unexpected and has created uneasi-
ness among the Conservatives, who de-
clare that the Boulangist movement is
a public danger, and that urgent
measures are demanded to check it..
The Bonapartists assert that the re-
suit in the Dordogne proves that the
country demands the dissolution of
the Chamber of Deputies, and a re-
vision of the constitution. Boulanger
refused to contest the seat for the
Dordogne, but his friends forwarded
his candidacy.
La Lanterne says General Boulan-
ger will refuse to accept the seat, as
he desires to sit for the Department
du Nord.
General Boulanger has written a
letter to an elector OF Dordogne, in
which, after expressing his thanks for
his election by the people of that De-
partment, he says: "Your vote con-
firms the necessity of a dissolution
of Parliament and a revision of
the constitution. have accepted the
candidacy of the Nord. On Sunday
next the vote of the Nord will
be added to yours in a fresh and sig
nificant protest in favor of the Ma

LONDON, April 9.-Earl Granville
presided at a banquet given by the
Devonshire Club tonight in honor OF
Mr.. Chamberlain. Earl Granville, in
proposing the toast OF the evening,
said he was glad to be able to con-
gratulate Mr.. Chamberlain on the re-
suit of his mission. His, Gran
ville's, strongest political convic-
ton had always been the impor-
tance Of maintaining good relations
between Great Britain and America.
Although he had been the subject of
the strongest attacks for his share of
the responsibility of the Alabama
settlement, he looked back upon its
result with the utmost satisfaction.
1t was certain that if England had
broken off the Alabama negotia-
tions, they would not have been
assembled there to-day to congratulate
Chamberlain on having brought his
task SO nearly to successful issue.
The whole Liberal party could, on this
occasion unite in congratulating the
Conservatives on having adopted a
liberal policy Of Cancellation and
friendship toward America.
Chamberlain on rising to reply was
loudly cheered. He thanked the
company for the warmth of their
reception, of the toasts in his honor,
and said he appreciated fully the
unique character of the gathering.
He was glad to see 80 many of his old
colleagues, from whom he had tempo
rarily disassociated. He gathered
from their presence that every Eng
lishman, worthy of the name, sympa-
thized with the object of his mission.
Remarking upon the change of pub
lie opinion during the last CEN
tury, he said it was curious to
look back to sincere opinions express
ed by Statesmen and writers at the
time Of the civil war and to note their
fears lest America should become a
great and aggressive power, dangerous
to the peace of the world. He spoke
strongly in favor OF the Confederation
of the Colonies and again expressed
his hope that the Fisheries Treaty
would be ratified.

Blankenship, Constable of this city,
had warrant to arrest one Manuel at
Gila Bend yesterday on a charge Ct
assault. Upon having been placed
under arrest, Manuel seized the
opportunity and broke for liberty.
Blankenship fired twice in the
air, ordering his prisoner to halt, but
the order was disregarded. The race
confined until Manuel reached his
cabin and grabbed his Winchester.
Falling on his knee he took deliberate
aim at the still advancing officer, and
fired two shots, fortunately not doing
any injury. Blankenship halted
and fred, hitting Manuel in the left
shoulder, whereupon the race was re-
newed. Manuel got into the bushes,
mounted horse and fed. The
officer lost time in searching
| for an animal to follow, tut
finally pulled an Indian off q
pony and started after his man.
The race continued in the direction ol
Mexico until Blankenship's horse

found itself without a quorum, and
Weaver moved an adjournment. The
motion was defeated. Yeas, 80; nays
isl. A call of the House was then
ordered.
At1O:15 Z. B. Taylor asked unani-
nous consent that the House take a
recess until 10:45 tomorrow. The
Speaker pro tenn put the request and
after a short pause declared it
granted, bringing down the gavel just
as Breckenridge, of Arkansas, sprang
to his feet with an objection, which
came in a second too late. The re-
cess was therefore taken.
At about 6 o'clock Oates asked the
Unanimous consent of the House to
have a resolution read for informa-
ton, but he was promptly met with
objections from the Republican side.
The resolution he intended to have
read was to the effect that large num-
Der Of attorneys, lobby lists and claim
agents are working actively to secure
the passage OF the bill now under con-
sideration, and that committee
should be appointed to ascertain what
contracts or agreements existed be-
tween any attorneys, lobbyists or
agents and the benefciaries of the
aforesaid bill, and to report to the
House in thirty days, and that pend
ing such investigation the further con-
sideration of the bill be postponed.
At 730 the Sergeant at Arms ap-
peared and reported that of the twen-
| ty-five members absent without leave.
twenty were out of the city and the
other five could not be found. He
was directed to continue his search.
At about nine o'clock further pro-
ceedings under the call were dispensed
with, and Campbell, Of New York,
moved as an amendment, pending the
motion for a short recess, that the
House take recess until l. :45 to-
morrow morning. In order to pre-
vent a vote being taken on this prop
o ;ition, Breckenridge, Of Arkansas,
revived the tactics resorted to few
days ago, and moved that Mckinney,
OF New Hampshire, be excused
from voting. Ap int of order against
the motion was overruled by the
Speaker. Taylor appealed from the
decision, pending which Brecken-
ridge, of Kentucky. moved to adjourn.
Weaver, of Iowa, moved that when
the House adjourn, it be to meet on
Wednesday night, and Breckenridge,
Of Arkansas, moved to adjourn until
Thursday.
