MUCH CASH INDIANA.
Enormous Campaign Expenses of
Both Parties E

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. PA radical
change has taken place in the workings
of the two committees within twenty
four hours, and everything about the
committee rooms wears an aspect of
deep and solemn secrecy. The clerks
of the two committees have been placed
in rooms carefully locked. the chair
men keep themselves secluded from
visitors, and only those having business
of the utmost Importance are admitted
to their presence. 1t is given out at
Headquarters that the gentlemen will
not be at leisure this week. and the
striking coincidence furnished in the
fact that both chairmen have thus got
ten down to secret work is leading to an
endless amount of gossip. 1t is claimed
that the financial matters of the
coming struggle are receiving
the attention of the chairmen.
and an investigation gives strong
color of truth to the rumOr. Each side
claims to know all about the money re-
ceived by the other, but each stOut!y
denies that it has received more than is
absolutely necessary for legitimate ex-
penses. So far the expenses of each
committee has been in excess of $4,000,
and it is estimated that not less than
continue the work to the end. The
printing bills are from $4,000 to S20.0Oe
for each of the two committees this
wear. They have also been paving
about 81 800 month for telegraphing.
The remainder goes into expenses of
speakers, clerk hire, postage, hotel
bills, cost of taking the polls and. cleo
ton day expenses, amounting to front
$500 to $1,000 for each county. The Re-
publicans say they know that the Dem
ocratic fund, according to various state
mentS, amounts to from 100000 to $780,
COO. The Democrats give out the in
formation that it is known that the ma
tional committee mas relented in its de-
termination to hold Indiana Repub-
| licans to their Chicago promise, and has
sent 100000 to Chairman Huston, in
| addition to which he has raised as much
more by $1,000 assessments upon
wealthy Indiana Republicans. Besides,
it is asserted that much money has been
sent directly to Gen. Harrison for use
| in Indiana.

A DOMESTIC ROMANCE.
The Two Marriages of DIR. o. w.
Wight Made Known After His
Death

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 5.-The an
nOuncement that the late DR.. @. W.
Wight had been twice married that APP
peared in the long obituary notices
given of him in the newspapers here
was a surprise to all his acquaintaL ces
i'll this city. 1t was supposed by them
that he had never married, and his death
brings to light a singular and in some
respects almost romantic state of facts
1t seems that when he was a young man
some friends introduced him to Miss
Sarah WhitmOre, and he became en-
gagged to her after short cOurtshp.
Her only relative was her mother, who
died suddenly and left the daughter
unprovided for. This fastened the
marriage, and after the wedding
the young bridegroom found that
his bride was an insane epileptic
of the worst type. She had lucid
intervals. and during the courtship
her friends were careful TO let him see
her only at such times. lie subsequently
removed to Indiana, where he procured
a divorce. The matter was proceeded
with according to law, and in her lucid
intervals the wife consented to have the
decree of marriage set aside. At the
husbands instance a guardian was APP
pointed to look after her interests, and
in course of time the cour is granted an
absolute divorce.
Dr.. Wight then married Miss Catha-
rine Chamberlain, and here comes in
the remarkable part of this strange
domestic history. He and his second
wife adopted the first. who was taken
into their house on the footing of a
daughter. She required every care and
attention and she had it from both. The
second wife died while they were living
in OcOnOmOWOc, Wis, and he was then
obliged to find place of refuge other
than his own home for his first wife. He
placed her under the charge of Sisters
| of Charity in a retreat in Wisconsin.
and she is there at this time. He had
never failed to provide for her mp to the
day of his death, even though at times
in straitened circumstances himself.
| The Catholic church refuses to recOg-
niZe absolute divorce, and in the inSti-
| tuition where the invalid is cared for,
she has always been Known as
! Dr.. Nights wife. The circumstances
created great scandal at the time. and
long controversy was carried on years
ago i'll Wisconsin, where she lived
The singular circumstance that he and
| his second wife should adopt and care
for the first gave rise to no end of Cos
sip and surmiSe and unpleasant sug
gestiOns of all conceivable sorts. But
the matter had so completely died out
of late years that in his latest home the
facts were entirely unknown, and only
his death was revealed them, His
course seems to have been honorable
throughout and dictated by sincere
affection under very trying circum

UNDER MOB RULE.
His IncOmpetency and Charges
the Reign of Terror to Glad

stone.
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Oct. 25.-I saw last night
the proofs of Gen. Sir Charles War
ren's article on the London police.
which will appear in a magazine here
OH Saturday. 1t is intended as a de-
Tense of his incompetency and of his
failure to catch the Whitechapel muir
derer. Gen. Warren insinuates that
London is practically under mob rule.
and that Mr.. Gladstone encouraged it..
These are his words: 1T is to be de-
plOred that the successive governments
have not had the courage to make a
stand against the more noisy section. and
have given way before the tumultuouS
proceedings which have exercised ter
rorism over peaceful and law-abiding
citizen, and it is still more to be regret
ted that certain eX-cablnet ministers,
while in opposition, have not hesitated
to embarrass those in power by smiling
OH the insurgent mob. There can be
very little doubt that the cutlery against
the police as military force, inStigated
fDr political or sinister purposes, is due
to the Englishman who poses as the
censor of public bodies, and who pos
sesses as rule but one idea at a time.
This refers unequivocally to Mr.. Glad
stone, and will create great Indignation
among his followers when the article is
made public. The article generally
is weakening on Gen, War
ren's part, and he now even asserts
that the police force might be reduced
if all London would resolve itself into a
( vigilance committee. Yet it stands as
matter of record that the White
chapel vigilance committee has re-
ceived almost no recognition from Gen.
Warren. Sir Charles also accuses the
reporters, who have done more TO solve
the mystery of the crime than any one
else, with hampering his work.
Sir Charles Warren makes cOmpari-
SONS of London with the French and
continental police, but utterly ignores
Supt. Murray's splendid force, as he is
very sore about the New York criticisms
on him, which have been reprinted
here.

PERILS OF THE DEEP.
The Wreck ofthe Bark Silas Fish
Detailed by q Survivor.

Detailed by a Survivor.
Nav YORK, Oct. 25.-Capt. John Gov
ert, of Brooklyn, with one exception,
the only survivor of the wrecked bark
Silas Fish, sunk in cyclone off Turks
Island on Sept. 2, was a passenger on
the steamer Osama, from Turks Island
yesterday morning. The captain told
last evening how he was snatched al
most from the jaws of death. The Sllas
Fish left Boston Oh Sept. "A, 1887, for
Montevideo, and touched at several
South American ports. From Para she
went to East Harbor, Turks Island, and
loaded with salt for this city. On board
the Fish when she left East Harbor,
besides the regular crew OF ten
men, were Pilot Robert Clark and three
pasSengers-J. J. Firth. merchant at
Grand Turk, his son Marshal, and a
Mr.. Kelly. The bark arrived off Grand
Turk OH the evening OF Sept. last,
During the night gale arose. and it
was impossible to make the harbor in
the morning Then an Intellectual at
tempt was made to make Riding Turk,
and finally the bark was headed
THROUGH THE SOUTH CHANNEL,
taking for three hours a south by west
course. This only served to bring her
almost directly in the path OF cyclone.
Her topsailS were blown away: then, as
the wind shifted to the nerth and blew
at the rate of sixty miles an hour, the
fore lower tOpSail and fOrestaysail were
carried away, the cargo shifted to
starboard and the vessel preached to.
A new jib was hOiSted, but it blew into
ribbons. The main topsail then blew
out of the gaskets, and was followed by
every available sail, except the mlZZen
StaySail and spanker. An attempt was
made to get the vessels stern to the sea
by means of drag, and then to cut
away the fore and main rigging. The
effort was in vain. for she heeled over
still more, and the spare spars on the
deck broke loose and battered out the
bulWarks, while mountainous waves
washed her decks. She was settling
fast, when suddenly the main deck was
seen to
WAIVER AND CRACKLE,
forced upward by the pressure of water
and air between decks, and second
later she lurched to starboard and went
down. The captain was drawn by the
suction, but he grasped fragment of
wreckage as he rose to the surface. He
saw Mate McCullum for moment
and sailor named Daniel
Brown, who was cllnglng to
a chest, but who afterwards
let go and sank. The captain managed
to get on to a piece of the forward
house. He was joined by Quinton Paul.
French seaman, and after drifting for
two days and nights, they were cast
ashore at Goods hill, Turks island, a
most rocky coast. A negro cared for
the captain, who was nearly dead. and
he finally got to Grand Turk, where the
American consul secured him passage
on the OSema. The captain and Paul
were the only ones who were saved.

happy and prosperous. What gave you
the right to vote? Democratic principles.
1t is all in ,one sentence, written by
the hand of the father OF
Democracy, Thomas Jefferson. That
sentence is, ''All men are ere
ated free and equal" This
is the foundation stone OF Democ-
racy. Democracy sprang from that
sentiment. That sentiment has done
all for the human race in the way OF
ameliorating their condition from the
day that sentiment was written down to
this day. Why! it enables you to
walk with your heads erect, the
equal of any man; it enables you
to look around at your little children,
and know that they will grow up and
be respected in the country; it enables
you to look upon your smart little boy
and say perchance that boy will be
president some day.

Chairman Payne Calling for Cash
From Wealthy Infant Industry
Beueficiaries.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 25.-As the cam
paign progresses it becomes more and
more certain that the Republicans are
getting desperate. Chairman Payne has
sent out appeals to all the wealthy in
FAINT industry benefciaries to cash up
once more. In the congressional dis
tricts the prospect improves. The Demo-
Gratis are sure of the Second and Fifth,
will carry the Fourth in conjunction
with the Labor party on Henry Smith,
and have more than fighting chance
in the Seventh and Ninth. In the lat
ter district Myron H. McCord is run
ming, and as he has been implicated in
all the timber. taX-tltle and railway
bond deals that have been worked tor
twenty years while that part of the
state was growing up. the people who
now have to pay the bills are in rebellion
against him. Mr.. Hoard has ceased
talking high tariff to farmers, and is
engaged in asking their votes, because
he knows them, and because, as he
truly claims, it is not governors, but
congressman who make revenue laws
In this way he will run somewhat
ahead of Harrison in the rural dis
tricts, where none of the people be-
Iieve that hightaXes produce wealth for
them.

were resting somewhat easier. Later
on they were visited again and found
in much the same condition. The Lala
girl, remarkably handsome, well-dc-
veloped young woman, was deliriOuS
some of the time ana kept saying that
she knew that trouble was coming. but
no attention was paid TO her rawlings.
The whole affair has very suspicious
look. and those who we're at the house
last evening were of the opinion that it
was a deliberate attempt to kill seven
people. What makes the affair all the
more peculiar is the fact that
Mrs. Martin should have gone out to
friends for supper. She had been
married but two days. As soon as the
poisoning became noised around the
neighbOrhOOd she came at once to the
house, but did not seem to take the
matter greatly to heart. She talked
with her husband, calling him George,
and telling him that
SIZE WAS VERY SORRY
he was not feeling we'll: she manifested
decidedly more interest in Victoria
Lala and Lizzie Hetovitsch than she did
i'll her own husband. Those who know
the persons concerned in the case
stated last evening that when Mar
tin first began paying attention to
Miss Julia Lala, now his wife, she
was engaged to another young BOhe-
milan, also a resident of Minneapolis.
Martin finally succeeded in winning
her from this other man, and two days
ago married her at New Prague, where
she resided. 1t is generally believed
that this rejected sutton learned that the
party was going to be at ZuretSki's
house last evening, and not daring to go
there himself, hired the SmiskO boy,
whom no one would suspect, to go there
about supper time and put quantity
of Rough on Rats" in some of the
food of which every one would partake.
Just why Mrs. Martin did not eat
supper at the house has not been salts
fact0rily explained, but it is probable
that she will have an opportunity of eX-
planning, as the whole matter
will be most thoroughly investi-
gated by the proper authorities.
If Victoria Lala dies. as she
probably will, the coroner will take
hold of the case and push it for all there
is in it. At this writing, 2:30 a. H.. it
looks as though there would be three
or four deaths.

BRANDED AS MURDERERs.
The Attorney for the Times Makes
Sweeping Charges Against Par
nelIiteS.

Sweeping Charges Against Par
nellites.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-On the reassem-
bling of the ParnelI commission to-day
Attorney General Webster continued
his address in behalf of the Times. He
dilated Oh the relations between the
Parnellites and the members of the
league in America, commended that the
league originated in America, and that
it was conspiracy Matched there and
effected by American money. He said
that members of the American league
were dynamiterS and advocates of MUIR
der, and they had the Parnellites as ac-
completes. He referred to the Irish
World, the Chicago Citizen and
the Boston Pilot as papers
which spoke the sentiments and
revealed the aims of both the Parnell-
ties and the league in America. Pat
rick Ford, he declared, was the prop of
both the Land and National leagues.
Brennan, Sheridan, BreSlin. Condor
and Dewey were branded criminals, who
were associated together on purpose to
further crime. Finerty, Redpath and
Rosa were dynamiters who mad plotted
for the most villainOuS FERNS OF out
rage. The Parnellites openly joined
these men in agitating among Irish
Americans. A manifesto issued by the
league in America in April, 1881, de-
claring that 1--WE shall bind ourselves
together until landlOrdism, root and
branch, is abolished,' was signed by
Parnell, Dewitt. Brennan, Kettle. Egan
and William O'Sullivan. Patrick Ford's
name was not there, but it was absurd
to say that Parnell had no relations
with him, as host of facts proved the
intimate connection of the two. The
attorney general then proceeded to
quote from articles taken from the Irish
World to prove the connection of the
Parnellite party with the extreme sec
ton of the Irish party in America. He
continue to dwell OH the misdoings of
the league in America and the Chicago,
Philadelphia and Boston conventions
until The court adjourned for the day.
The attorney general did not hit upon
a single new point to-day. and his
speech exceeded in dizziness his efforts
of the preceding days.

REGISTERED MAIL RlFLED.
A Big Package of Letters With
Valuable Enclosures Stolen Be-
tween Boston and Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The mail pouch
which left Boston Tuesday and arrived
in Chicago last evening over the Mich
igan Southern railroad was robbed of
all the frst-class mail matter it con-
tanned. The stolen package consisted
of registered letters, and the suppose
ton is that large amount of money
was secured by the thief. The rif1ed
pouch came to this city in charge of
Railway Mail Clerk Stevenson, to
whom it had been turned over at Cleve-
land. On reaching the Chicago
postoffice he Immediately reported
the robbery to Inspector Kidder.
The bag had been cut open, the thief
taking the package containing the first
class matter only, not mOlesting the
fourth-clasS matter. This leads to the
belief that the perpetrator of the rob-
berry was some one connected with the
postal service. The robbery is sup
posed to have been committed some time
after leaving Boston and before leaving
Cleveland. The bag was transferred
but once since leaving Boston-at Al
bany. Mail Clerk Stevenson is conf
dent that the job could not have been
done on his run, as none but the regu-
lar men were in the car and none of
these approached that bag.
