ABDUCTED FOR HER MONEY.
A Helpless Old Lady Of Wicllit;; li"ioi5 :

dence of Eliza Nixon, aged 80 ;,ud
very feeble, was visited by q n::,@
who asked to see her. Her sew IL.

suspicious and refused him entrance,
In about an hour he returned il a
hack accompanied by another i..an,
and forcibly gained entrance to tie
house. He told Mrs. Nixon he Was
from Chicago and a distant relative
of hers and wanted to take her out
riding. She objected but was carr
ed by the two men and putin hack
and they drove rapidly away. The
house is in the suburbs. and the
alarm raised by the servant failed to
bring anyone to assist the old lady
in getting away from the men, but
the news rapidly spread, and soon
numbers were looking for the men,
but they have not been found.
Mrs. Nixon was one of the first
settlers in the valley, and had taken
up land, part of which is now in
the corporate limits. She is said to
be worth over 100000, and has
no heirs living. The theory of her
capture is that a distant relative
who had been i'll the penitentiary
twice had hired the men to take hel
to some point and get her to sign
papers giving him the property. This
theory was given force when the de.
scription of the man who led in hel
abduction was learned from the ser
want and neighbors, making it al
most certain that he is one Williams
tinhorn detective, who had beer
operating for few weeks in this
city, and who, it is thought, coult
be induced to act according to til,
wishes of the relatives for slight re
muneration.

Mr.. Geo Kennan will tell in the
May Century how he came to go to
Siberia on the Century expedition.
Mr.. kennan had spent some time in
Siberia already in connection with
the overland telegraph scheme, and
in the summer Of 1884 he made 3
preliminary excursion to st. Peters
burg and Moscow for the purpose Of
collecting material, and ascertaining
whether or not obstacles were likely
to be thrown in his way by the Rus
sian government. He returned in
October, fully satisfied that his
scheme was a practical one. He
therefore sailed from New York for
Liverpool in May, 1885. He says:
'.All my prepossessions were favora-
bic to the Russian government and
unfayorable to the Russian revolu.
tionsts.' He adds that this partly
explains the friendly attitude toward
me which was taken by the Russian
government, the permission which
was gwen me to inspect prisons and
mines, and the comparative immuni-
ty from arrest, detention, and i'm
prisonment which I enjoyed, even
when my movements and associa.
tions were such as justly to render
me an object of suspicion to the 10
cal Siberian authorities"

The COnyictCOntract Senator.

After many years of cruelty bur
densome tariff taxes, the promise of
partial relief has come in sight, and
we rejoice that President Cleveland
and the wholesome majority of the
democratic party are striving to re-
duce these taxes; when 10. in the
crisis of our fate, Senator Brown
steps to the front to oppose this re-
lief, with his i'll ill-timedrepubliean ad-
vice, to check reform, if possible, by
palming offa policy unspeakably mis-
chievous to the country, to the south
and to the farmers, though in the
highest degree helpful to his own
private and personal interests, as
opposed to the interest of the pso-
pie.
His advice is bad, economically,
morally, politically and socially, and
is supported by the old stock argu-
ments of the republican party, often
exploded, but retailed still at the
north by Blaine, Sherman, Ingalls,
and others, and reproduced now by
Senator Brown before a democratic
audience, in the form of a great lot
of fallacies. historical. economical
and selfish. Some reinforcements
of his own are added by way of
good measure-more shallow and
sophistical. which may surprise the
unwary. as the assault comes from
within. and is made by nominal
democrat. clad in the whole arnor
of monopoly-crammed and armed
to the teeth by the whole circle of
rings and trusts and combinations

the earnings of honest industry.

the rights OF no one else, and sub
mitting to aggression from none.
And what is the advice he gives? 1t
is this in substance and in form:
Repeal the whiskey tax, and
make grog cheap.
Fasten the tariff with nails, and
keep necessaries dear.
This monstrous advice, self-con-

lutes and sugar coats through TWEEN

wilfully and industriously advocates
it in the senate, and publishes it to
his constituents. In naked deform-

it with much ink and paper.

US that reducing the price of whisky

mon repubicanism-it is a violent
form of the disease. If any repub-
ican has gons this length I have

goes the length of classing whiskey
among necessaries, and tobacco. too,
more necessary than blankets.
Observe how he compares the
two:
Say a laboring man buys a pain
woolen blankets and pays 81 SO tar
iff on it; he buys as medicine fol
himself and family gallon of whis
key and pays S1.5O tax on it to the
registered distiller. Which hurts
him worse? Senator Beck says, how
ever, he can do without the whiskey
so he can do without the blankets
This is not a question of sentiment
it is a question of dollars an6

Senator Brown proposes to have
$50 to buy more whiskey instead
of more blankets, and let the de
bauch last three weeks instead O.
one.
Such is the reasoning By which
he defends his monstrous advice

A DEMOCRATIC NEGRO THREA.
TENED.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 24.-Dave
Leecraft, the well-known negro porter
for a leading hardware store, announc-
ed in card in the Chronicle Tuesday
morning that he would vote for Cleve-
land, and advised all his "cOlored
friends to do likewise, in giving rea-
sons usually offered by colored men,
renouncing the Republican party.
The card created a sensation among
the negroes, who were told of it by
the negroe leaders, it being discussed
for two days on the street corners
To-day Leecraft received a letter
written in ignorant chirography, en-
bellished with rudely-drawn coffin
on the lid of which were the words:
Liberty Or death" The letter was
written on the Republican circular.
It is in old-time Kuklux style, and is
a very decided threat that unless Lee
craft wrote another card and renounced
the Democratic party, that he would
not live to the 9th day of November.
The letter contains the usual death
resolutions, and is signed Republican
Executive Committee.
