Frank and Honest.
To the EditorofLIe hltelitOeHeeT.
SIR:-"There is not manufacturer in
the Wheeling district, who is not biased
by politics, who will not declare that
the passage of the Mills bill, even in its
present unfinished state, would not do
good to the industries of this section"
The above is an extract from the
Wheeling Register OF this date. In the
same paper you will find extracts from
Henry George, Seth Lowe, OF Brooklyn,
New York, and from own ID. B. Lucas,
OF the county OF Jefferson, all published
appprovingly by Mr.. Manager Taney.
Henry George declares for Grover Cleve-
land, free trade and no custom houses.
Seth Lowe, Of Brooklyn, declares that
his interests rs an importer are with
Grover Cleveland, free trade trade and
Democracy; and the Hon. D. B. Lucas
is now, as he ever has been, for free
trade, aud he is for Grover Cleveland.
Especially is he for Mr.. Cleveland since
the message OF December last, when the
latter attacked the manufacturers as u
class in the interest OF the whisky ring
and the retention Of the internal system
of taxation.
Anyone familiar with the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Lucas and his fellow kick
ers in their opposition to Mr. Cam.
den at Charleston year ago, well
know that their opposition was in the
main because they regarded Mr.. Cam
den us in favor OF the American system
OF protection, and OF course unfriendly
to the Democratic English system OF
free trade and no Custom Houses. Ia
ney has the unblushing impudence TO
say that the Mills bill in its present
shape Qncluding the discrimination
against soft steel will do the Wheeling
good. Henry George,
Seth Lowe, and the Hon. b. b. Lucas
say the Mills bill and the Presidents
mean free trade. Who is right2

THE CHAMPION BIGAMIST
Says He Is Much Abussd-stOry of His
Crimes.


CHICAGO, July 2.-J. Aldrich Brown,
the alleged bigamist, who is said to be
possessed Of twenty-three wives, said to
a reporter last night that he is much
abused man. He declares his ability to
come out of this trouble with flying
colors. 81 am the husband Of one wife" F"
said he. 81 have, however, been mixed
up with lot OF women at different
times, and they have robbed me Of
everythingI had, and now, because l
have no more property, they take this
method of putting me out of the way.
The mystery surrounding the bigamist
James Wellington Alrich Brown has
been practically cleared up, and he to-
day announced his Willingness to leave
his cell at the Armory and accompany
Officer Miller to Detroit, without wait
ing for the formality Of requisition
papers. His decision was brought about
by visit from wife twenty.one whose
name is'A1ay Burnell, and whose conver-
sation convinced Mr.. Brown that no
prosecution in Detroit would be more
vigorous than one would be in Chicago.
"Yes," he said to u reporter, II will
90 back to Detroit and stand my trial.
There is really nothing against me. l
know nothing OF half the women they
talk OF and whatever my. relations with
the other halfway have been can truly
say that they will not be recognized by
the law. Still, ! have enemies there.
One man will probably shoot me on
sight. They can't protect me from him.
But il escape him will stand my trial.
Should | be acquitted, well and good.
Should | be convicted they can never
make me work in the penitentiary. l
always have last resource and you may
be sure l will avail myself of it."
"You will not commit suiCidef"
"Yes, sir, will. l would rather die
n hundred times than be sent to prison
for no crime" The first known OF
Browns bigamous tendencies was in
1885, when he, already possessed Of ut
least one loving wife, married Miss Ida
Kelly, q pretty young woman living on
Jefferson avenue, Detroit. This was in
the fall OF the year, and few monts Ia
ter he deserted her and went to Muske-
gon, Mich, where he was married in
January, 1856, to lady OF that town,
whose name cannot be ascertained. Miss
Kelly followed him and caused his ar
rest, when he was sent from court at
Saginaw to the Penitentiary ut Jackson,
where he served nine months,
and during his term of i'm
prisonment made an unsuccessful at
Tempt to end his life by cutting his
throat with razor. He inflicted bad
wound. 1t was early in November, 1856,
when he was released from the peniten-
tiary, and all trace OF him was lost until
January 10, 1887, when he made his APP
pearanCe in Pontiac, Mich, and five
days later married Miss Annie NJ. Hazle
Of that town. From there he fled to
Detroit, closely followed by Miss Hazle's
friends, including n brother, who is the
man who threatened to shoot Brown on
sight, and the fear Of whom made the
prisoner unwilling to go back to Mich

GENEROSITY WELL KNOWN
before his political ambition, and with
hosts Of personal friends in and about
the convention-had Michigan been q
doubtful State; or even without that,
had his kind friends been more reticent
in exploiting his kind efforts in direct
connection with the convention, and It's
necessary expenditures, he might have
was more thought OF than the votes in
dicated, but, through all the discussion
there had grown and strengthened the
belief that the candidate must come
from doubtful State.
Even Jealous Henderson could not
claim that Illinois was in doubt, but
what really destroyed the hope
OF Mr.. Allison's friends was the
conviction that since the extreme
Granger sentiment had taken New
York's candidate out OF the run It was
not policy to select n Granger candidate.
In vain Allison's friends said that his
personal record was that OF a man who
had held the scales between the two ex-
tremes (the prairie and Wall street..
The answer was that his State is the
home ofthc Granger and the head centre
OF its influences, and the convention ad-
mitted the force OF the answer. So, after
five days of incessant discussion and
voting, eliminating all the other can
didates, and having established the
correct principles OF choice, the con-
vention chose General Harrison with
surprising unanimity. They wanted
adoubtful State. Harrison lived in In
diana. They wanted a Western candl:
date. Harrison was in the west, and
not far enough from the east to be out
OF knowledge and sympathy with east
crn thought. Harrison lived near the
centre of population and was almost
compost photograph Of the nations
wants. He was neither Granger nor An
ti-Gnnger. He had good running quail
ties ofanother kind. He had home
and he cherished it. He had all the
homely qualities which are the best gift
to an American who seeks for Office by
the popular vote.

which Did Not End Pleasantly for All
Parties Concerned.
MusEEGEE, l. T., July "A desperate
fight between United States officers and
two notorious desperadoes took place at
a green corn dance near Eufalia Satur-
day night. United States Marshals Phil
lips and McGloughlin attended the
dance with the expectation of arr6sting
some escaped outlaws. sccreting them
selves near the dancing grounds, they
awaited their opportunity. About ii
o'clock two OF the men whom they were
alter, Wesley and Waite Barnett, ap-
peared. The officers commanded them
10 surrender, when the two brothers
drew their pistols and commenced fir
ing. Phillips was killed almost instantly
and McGloughlin continued firing at the
desperadoes until he was riddled with
bullets. Before he died he fatally in
jured Waite. Wesley Barnett went to
the husk grounds, where several young
men were standing, pointed his pistol at
Bunuie Mcintosh and accused him OF di-
recting the officers to the ground. Nc
Intosh grabbed the pistol, which was
discharged, the ball going through Nc
Intosh's arm. Bennett then went to a
house near by, secured Winchester
rifle, returned and made the crowd go
TO the spring and remove his brother to
a house and dress him, and at daylight
this morning he started towards home
with the corpse in wagon.

Coleridge.
LONDON, July 2.-The trial Of the
action OF Mr.. Frank Hugh o'Donnell
against the London Times, for libel in
its articles on "Parnellism and Crime"
was begun to-day.
The court room was packed with wit
nesses and spectators. Lord Chief JUS
tice Coleridge presided.
Mr.. O'Donnell was represented by Mr..
Ruegg, junior counsel, who is lean,
nervous, bilious looking man. Mr.. Her
bert Gladstone, Mr.. Arthur 0'Connor
and many other persons Of prominence
were present. Mr.. Herbert Gladstone
sat by Mr.. 0'Donnell's side. The Times
was represented by Attorney General
Sir Henry James, Mr.. Lumbley Smith
and Mr.. William Graham Gwinn.
Mr.. Ruegg, in presenting the case for
the plaintiff, declared that Mr.. 0'Don-
nell was not in sympathy with the Irish
extremists, but held their methods at
detestation. The Times had no ground
for coupling his name with that party,
and the plaintiff therefore claimed
eco, 900 damages. Mr.. Ruegg also said
that Mr.. ODonnell had not been con.
nectcd with the Parnellite party since
1884.
Mr.. Ruegg's voice was not strong, and
his manne1of speaking was monotonous
The impression created upon the audi,
tors was not altogether favorable, and
the court did not appear particularly in
terested. Lord Coleridge slumberet
gently throughout the opening occasion
ally waking and smiling, then noddini
off to sleep again until the court ad
journed from lunch. The crowd thinnet
out gradually, and at the recess few

In tho Senate.

The Senate took up the River and
Harbor bill, some amendments to which
had been received on Saturday for sepa-
rate votes.
The demand for separate vote on the
Hennepin Canal amendment was with
drawn by Mr.. Vest on the suggestion
that the question might be left to Con-
ference Committee, but subsequently n
motion to reconsider was made by Mr..
Sherman. Et.
As to the amendment abolishing the
Missouri River Commission, Mr.. Vest
offered to withdraw it, at tho request OF
Mr.. Paddock, but Mr.. Plumb insisted
upon vote being taken and made an
argument against the further contnu-
ance OF the commission. .r.-.....-
Mr.. Paddock argued egainst the
amendment.
In the course OF the discussion Mr..
Hoar made a vehement denunciation oi
the criticism and abuse so generally in
dulged in by some Senator'S and by
newspapers in relation 10 River and
Harbor bills. He had got sick, he said,
OF hearing Senators trying to blacken
the character Of their own associates
public life by charging that River and
Harbor bills were made up OF miserable
bargains, log rollings and cheating.
Mr.. Vest, q member OF the Committee
on Commerce, took the responsibility ol
saving that legislation on River and
Harbor bills was not free from criticism.
Much OF it was done by species Of
agreement-not to say log rolling. One
Senator went to another and asked him
10 help tho matters in which he was in
terested, promising to do the same fol
the other. y. f
Mr.. Hoar-But are they hontstitem,
or not2
Mr.. Vest-That is another question.

At the close OF long discussion, the
amendment abolishing the Missouri
river commission was disagreed to.
Mr.. Palmer offered an amendment ap
propriating $3.50, 900 for the purchase O
the portage lake and the Lake Superior
ship canals. Agreed to.
Mr.. Sherman said he would not in

Two weeks more will be taken up in

will be necessary in order to get the bill
to the President. As the case stands,
the Republicans are put in the attitude
Of being opposed to reduction Of taxa
