changing his appearance. He also

TO do" / replied. still thinking it was
Walls. He soon expired. Upon going

Land, stock and farm implements are

and two small children, one of the
latter wrapped up in a crib in
order to keep warm, the other was blue,

the exception of little dry manure,
which is all that any of the families
have to burn. The only thing they had
to eat was dry crust of bread. Frost.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Acting Com
missioner Anderson of the general
land Office received information of the
conviction of Charles Z. Beach for
spbOrdination of perjury in connection
with the entry Of a large body of red
wood timber land in California. The
land so entered amounts to about 81
600 acres the timber on which was
estimated by one of the interested
parties to be worth sIl 600. 900. A
syndicate composed principally of
foreign capitalists was organized it is
alleged for the purpose of securing
the titles of The valuable tract from

made to do so by means of fraudulent
entries. Some three hundred and sixty
such entries were made embracing
about $50 acres each, in which it is
claimed perjury and subordination of
perjury was recklessIy committed. OF
these entries many have been held for
cancellation and steps are being taken
to secure the forfeiture to the govern
meDt in the other cases.

Trust for Spells.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Mayor Hewitt

the committee of the citizens mass
meeting which recently renominated
him for the mayOralty. He accepts
the nomination, but would be glad to
withdraw if Tammany hall will con-
sent to let the citizens committee
choose q candidate other than himself.
Hewitt denounces Tammany hall as
secret oligarchy, a political trust and
an organization that seeks irreSpOnSi
BILE control of city affairs for its pOliti-
cal purposes. Regarding the criticism
of his views upon immigration and cit
iZenship, Mr.. Hewitt states that he
was the author of that plank in the
democratic national platform of 1884
which opposed the Importation of for

races untitled by habits, training

EAsToN, Pa, Oct. 16.-A lot of re-
ligious cranks have been preaching in
this community and have enticed two
young girls to leave their homes. They
have kept them hidden, despite the
efforts of their families to ascertain
their Whereabouts. One of the girls,
however, was found just as she was
going away with a young man to New
York, Ito serve Cod as she declared.
A few months ago the public was in
formed of a scandalous case, the re-
suit of religious insanity, at Park
Ridge, New Jersey, near Newark.
One Mason Kaufman, claiming to be
a preacher. induced Mrs Eliza Berry
of New York to leave her husband:
Soon afterwards she was joined
at Park Ridge by Mrs. Jane
Howell, another woman. who had
been deluded by Kaufman in the same
manner. Kaufman became an IN
mate of the house, but the Park Ridge
people rose up in Indignation, took
Hautzman out of the house, cut OF his
whiskers, horsewhipped him and drove
| him out of town. On Friday last MISS
| Jennie Kicker, aged twenty-five, and
| her sister, Miss Lizzie, aged twenty,

days. Mrs. Kicker is a devout
Methodist. and allowed the strangers
to remain. One Sunday Kaufman
astounded Mrs. Kicker by telling her
the Lord had informed him to take
charge of the house and she must go.
| He prepared to GUST her and scene
took place, because she would not go.
Hautzlnan applied all kinds of obscene
epithets to her, while his female adhe-
rents PRAYED and Historically sobbed.
Fin ally Mrs. Bicker drove Kaufman
from the house; then to her surprise
her daughters declared that Kaufman
was right and they would go with him.
Kaufman, the two woman and the
girls then left and before Mrs. Kicker
could recover from the shock they had
disappeared. The police were notified
and finally captured the two sisters.
Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Howell were
lately arrested and yesterday sentenced
to thirty days in jail. Kaufman who

The Cbieago ssrik,.


CHICAGO, Oct. l6.-Much surprise
and dissatisfaction was expressed by
the cable car men of the north division
when they reported for duty this
morning, and were informed that the
grip cars were thereafter TO be run by
new men hired during the Late strike.
The old employees were allowed to run
the grip cars yesterday, and they sup
posed that they would continue to do
so. The new grip men are mostly
from Kansas City. and by this arrange
ment about 100 of the old men found
themselves with nothing to do to-day.
The superintendent Informed them
that the new men would continue to
run the griD cars and the old men who
were displaced would be distributed
among the various norse cars. The
grip cars were guarded by the police
but no violence was offered to the new
men. 1t was expected that the COM
mittee from the old men which was
appointed last night to confer with
President YerkeS would call on him
during the forenoon but they did not
appear and Mr.. YerkeS left his Office
aG o'clock in the afternoon saying
that he would not return until late in
the day.
Inc lack OF experience Oh Tie new
gripmen resulted IN the cables being
broken in several places. Two cars
were stalled last evening in the Lasalle
street tunnel and just when traffic is
usually the busiest. A riot occurred at
North avenue aud Halstead street.
Two horse cars driven by new men
were Showered with rocks and nearly
demolished By the angry crowds on the
sidewalks. Only the timely arrival of
patrol wagon saved these imported
car men from being stoned to death
within the cars where they had taken
refuge. Quite number of passen
gers were hurt by flying missiles before
escaping from the proximity OF the
hated new men.
CHICAGO. Get. 17.-Dissatislied
held a general meeting this morning,
discussion was the fact that over two
hundred old employees were yesterday
refused the privilege of returning to
their old positions of taking Out cars.
The voice of the men as they left the
hail this morning was in favor of
striking again. Before meeting a re-
port spead among the men to the
effect that the company had brought
two hundred new men to the city yes
terday. This created great excitement
aud for time it WAS thought that an
other strike would be ordered at tile
meetiAk. The men decided, however
to remain at work. The superintsn-
dent Of the company said that DO men
had been employed since the agreement
was signed.

NIAGARA FALLS, Oct. 15.-The four
Cinnamon continue to be wards of the
Grand Trunk railway. sleping on the
floor in the general waiting room of
the station. They have written and
received several letters since their ar
rival here n week ago. The Grand
Trunk authorities have done every

communicating With authorities at
Washington. Each time the reply has

An Exaggerated Story.

New YORK, Oct. I6.-Mrs. james
G. Blaine, Jr., who is at the New / ork,
hotel with her baby and maid Gdesires
tile Associated Press to state in her
behalf that there is no existing cause
for the telegraphed statements that she
has separated from her husband. Mrs.
Blaine authorizes positive denial of
the statement that che had begun a
suit fer separation OF that any such
suit Is in contemplation. The
lady expresses herself morti-
fed that visit to her
mother, Mrs. Nevins, who resides
at the New York hotel, should have
been construed as the beginning of the
alleged separation between herself and
husband. Mrs. Blaine left her hus-
band in good health and spirits, and
has the same cordial relations to-day
with James q. Blaine, ST., she has
always had. Mrs. Blaine feels ag-
grieVed that few trivial circum-
stances should have been exaggerated
into story tending to show that a
separation was ever contemplated.

Battle of Tiuuecauoe.


LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE day
for great demonstration at the Tip
pecanoe battle ground opens clear and
warm, not a threatening cloud visible.
The city began to fill up as early as z
O'Clock. All trains came burdened
with visitors. At 10 o'clock the streets
of the city were almost impossible so
great was the crowd. Many thousands
had already gone out to the battle
ground. Although trains of twenty
coaches were running out to the
grounds every half hour. traDsporta-
tion proves Inadequate. The local re-
publicans gave q street parade at 8
O'Clock this morning. Log cabins, live
cOOns and brass bands without number
were in line. Enthusiasm runs very
high. Pictures of General Harrison are
seen on all sides. The crowds on the
sidewalks break out every few mo-
ments in cheers for Ben Harrison. EX-
secretary of the navy, Richard w.
Thompson, arrived early this morning
with a number of old friends. General
Alger arrived at o'clock from Indian
apOlis; General Hovey and Corporal
Tanner came from Bedford by the early
train with delegation of 1000 repub-
licans. Mr.. Blaine rose late this morn
ing. He left for the battle ground at
11:30, accompanied by General Alger.
AS the Maine statesman drove to
Monon station, fronting the Lair
house, ten thousand people surrounded
the car. He was rendered a most en-
thusiastic ovation. It is calculated a
crowd of nearly 10000 awaits his ar
rival at the battle ground.

CHICAGO, Oct. misunderstanding
the settlement of the street car strike,
a rather serious conflict occurred this
morning between a mobof strikers and
the new men who were running out
the-caTs. TIE first car was run out and
proceeded ON its way without event.
The next SIX cars were then run out
and had proceeded To Center street,
when a mob issued from AN alley near
by and made savage assault upon
the new drivers and conductors. Stones
and missiles were hurled through tire
air. Several of the mob pounced on
the new men and endeavored to drag
them off the cars and hand-te-hand
struggle ensued. Captain Setback
was notified of the trouble and he,
with twenty-five men. immediately
started for the scene. The mob, which
had evidently vented its spite, ran
away when the police appeared. Sev-
