The WettWer Fraud.

1t is turning out, as had been surmised
by The REPUBLICAN, that August Welt
wer's confession as to having murdered a
banker in this city, ETC., was scheme to
deceive the government into extraditing
him so that be might obtain free transpor-
tation back to the United States. Gov.
Rusk received letter Saturday from the
American consul in Saxony stating that
Wettwer had revoked his confession and
declared that his purpose was to return to
this country free of expense to himself.
The Saxony government has had Wettwer
arrested charged with penal attempt to
defraud.

Death of Bishop 6. r. WeIIes.

Right Rev. Edward r. Wellee, Episco-
pal bishop of this diocese, died at mid
night Friday night, Oct. 1e, 1888, at the
home of his brother at Waterloo, New
York, his native place, in the 59th year of
his age, having been born Jan 10, 1880.
The Bishop aud his son returned to
America from four months visit to
England, Oct. z A cold caught on the
voyage caused the Bishop to remain in
Waterloo, it being arranged that he should
tarry until his health would allow him to
proceed on his journey to Milwaukee.
Bishop Welles' first pastoral work was
done at Red Wing, Mimi, holding the
rectorship of the church there until bis
elevation to the Episcopate of the diocese
of Wisconsin in 1874 Bishop Welles 10
survived by two sons and daughter.
The eldest son, E. S. Welles, is in charge
of Christ Church, Milwaukee, and was
with his father when the latter died; the
other son, Sam'l 6. Welles, is just enter
ing upon course at Oxford, England.
The daughter, Miss Pauline, is student
at Kemper Hall, Kenosha.
The death of Bishop Welles is great
loss to the church over which he had a
fatherly care for nearly Is years. In his
ways and manner he was a genuine
western man, kind, plain, approachable
always aff,ble and agreeable to those he
met, and possessed of true Christian grace
and charity.

A Sad Accident.

A most sad accident occurred about 5
o'clock last Saturday afternoon, resulting
in the death of Joseph Prange, resident
of the Sixth ward. The unfortunate man
was engaged with others in digging a
sewer from w. E. Jones' shop, on First
street, to the river, when one ride of the
sewer fell in and Prange was completely
buried in the dirt. His fellow-laborers
proceeded to dig him out, and he was
finally extricated, when found being in
an upright position, but life was extinct.
A large hole was found in the side of his
head, apparently done with pick, sever
al of which we're used in digging him out.
Whether death occurred before he was
struck with the pick or not, could not, Of
course, be clearly ascertained. A cor
oner's jury before Justice Stacy, consist
ing of s. S. Woodland, Gustav Kuhn, Al
bert Willie, FL. T. Eberle, P. Blair and L.
Jaehrling, ST., deliberated on the case
Monday and yesterday, and rendered the
following verdict:
That Joseph Prange came to his death
by being struck with pick in the bands
IF one of bis fellow kmen or employer.
to the jury unknown, while they were
trying to extricate him from a caved-in
sewer, and that his said killing was acct
dental. The jury also find from the evil
dence that the digging of said sewer was
carelessly carried on by the contractor
William Darsow, in not having the same
properly braced, and through said care
lessness the caving-in of said sewer &C.
CURED.

ing man, leaves wife and three children.

Political Notes.

Jacksonville Neics Herald.
The emancipation of the negro race was
largely dwelt upon by many speakers at the
Lincoln birthday banquets. We notice, how
ever, that the negro did not sit at the table in
any single instance. He is good to talk about,
but his pretended admirers prefer not to break
bread with him. The negro's best friends are
among those who talk the least eloquently
about him.
Mlcaukee Journal.
We boast of striking the letters off from
1900, 900 slaves, while this is the condition of
5000, 900 farmers and 100000 mechanics
and laborers. We talk about high wages,
when half of those wages are confscated to
sordid avarice, and no equivalent return is
permitted. 1t is time we stopped Dragging
about prosperity and took steps to secure to
industry the crust it has earned.

In reply to a request to review the parade
of the Ancient Order of Hibernans in New
York on ST. Patrick's Day, Mayor Hewitt on
Tuesday said to the committee who waited
upon him: "Now, let us understand each

me to leave my duties to review your parade.
Now, may be candidate for Mayor next
fall, or for President he continued, with II
facetious glance around the room, "and |

Everyone knows that the Irish vote is enough
to elect any candidate, in this city, for whom
it is cast, but for the purpose of getting this
vote | shall not get down to the level of con-
senting to review any parade, be it Irish or
Dutch, or any other nationality. | shall re-
view no parades except those am officially

A Disgraceful Philippe.

In the U. S. Senate on Tuesday, Senator
Ingalls,, of Kansas, the presiding officer of the
Senate, left the chair and took his position on
the floor to make reply to the speech of
Senator Vest, of Missouri. That gentleman
had intimated in his speech that Senator In
gals was an aspirant for the Presidency, and
had been nominated by the District of Colum-
bia To this part of Senator Vests speech
Senator Ingalls, said;
"The personal illusions to himselfhe would
pass by with the single observation that the
nomination and election of Grover Cleveland
had made the pretensions Of any American
citizen to the Presidency respectable. There
was no man in this country whose ignorance
was so profound, whose obscurity so impen-
etrable, whose antecedents so degraded, that
he had not the right to aspire TO the Presi-
dental nomination by the Democratic party"
To this dastardly philippe against the
President, for which there was no provocation
in Senator Vests speech, Senator Blackburn,
ofKentucky, replied in the most incisive and
whitening language. He said:
"What cause of grievance the Senator has
that warranted him in applying language to
the Chief Magistrate which would not be per-
r,Sssble on the hastings Il will not say that it
would V,1S Se disgracefal even to be employed by
S sJu,u Ua), do not know. But when that
S sn,%oT nndertook to denounce the Chief
Execnt;re of the United States after such
fashion as to deliberately declare that no man
afflicted with ignorance SO profound With with OBJ
security so gross, should consSeer nlmsell as
unfit to become the President 'sssSS c II
does seem to me that the digRity of,sne zen !;
ate chamber refuses permission to resp'%n "-.
The Washington Post characterizes the
language of Ingalls, as piece of scurrility for
which he will be ashamed when he sees it in
print. We think this doubtful. The man
who could utter such language on the floor of
the Senate against the Chief Magistrate of the
country, is incapable of so honorable feeling
as shame for anything. 1t is without parallel
in the history of the Senate for the depth of
its degradation, and would disgrace even a
wild western cowboy.

Where is the Delay ?

Something is radically wrong in the mails.
Our Philadelphia papers are frequently two
or three days old before reaching us, and the
ADVOCATE, for several weeks, has been very
irregular in its delivery on the line of the
Western Maryland Railroad and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. But twice in twenty
years have we missed sending our papers to
the postoffice in time, and the delay then was
caused by the breaking of our machinery.
Oar subscribers want the paper on Saturday
morning, as many only go to the postoffiee
once day, and not on the Monday or Tues
day following. We know postal clerks on the
railroads are frequently pushed for time be-
tween stations, but we cannot understand why
other papers. published in the same town and
sent out by the same train should be delivered
at the proper time and the ADVOCATE not.
We do not want to start an investigation, but
if we do, we will go to the bottom and find
where the fault lies.
