WHY sToLTENBERa WAS ARRESTED.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-The morning papers give
the following ss the real reason of Henry Stolt-
enberg's arrest: Last June Stoltenberg went
to friend-Wm. o. Dahl, a young man en-
ployed by firm of grocers on Madison street.
and asked permission to have certain mail that
he was expecting come addressed to him (DahD.
Stoltenberg explained that it was little mat
ter that he wanted to keep quiet. Dahl con-
sented. The frs. letter came the latter part Of
July and was post marked Toronto, Canada.
The facts brought to light connecting the name
Of Stoltenbergs employer with certain
individuals in Toronto excited Dahfs suspi-
cions. He said nothing, however. until a sec
ond letter arrived some time later Then he
took one Of his employers into his confidence
and told him the facts. His employer advised
him to take the letter to the states attorney.
Dahl did not do so, but refused to receive any
more letters. The matter. however, weighed
upon Dahl's mind and last Wednesday night he
came to the states attorney with the story AZ
above stated. Stoltenberg was at once arrested
and brought to the states attorneys Office. He
was put through a rigid examination by the at
the Dahl episode. StoItenberg denied that he
had received letters through Dahl, and when

MALONE AND THE NEGROES,
A Talk With Senator Barbour ON the
Virginia Campaign.

A STAR reporter asked Senator Barbour to-
day what he thought of the condition Of the
Virginia campaign.
"Our people, (the democrats,) seem TO be
pretty well satisfied" he replied 81 can't say
who is going to be the governor, but we feel
very confident"
'Do you think the attitude of Mr.. Lansston is
going to injure Mahone2"
'Oh, l can't tell about that It may and IL
may not. About Petersburg / think it may
amount to considerable, but it may not amount
to SO much in the state generally. Mr.. Malone
is counting on the negroes voting for the re-
publican party, regardless of their feeling as
to him personally and of the manner in which
he treats them. OF course, he may make a
miscalculation. but you can't tell. 1t may be
that the negroes will simply bleed Mr.. Malone
and Mr.. Quay"
'.Is Malone going to gain white votes by re-
pudiating the negro?"
mo, do not think he will accomplish any
thing worth while in that way. The negroes
are the dominant element in the party and
when the party is in control they will be in
control regardless Of Malone. When he tried
to fight Langston in Petersburg and put up his
own candidate in the field, Langston got four
votes to every one cast for Mahones candidate
In Mahone's own district aside from those
men he has gathered personally around him,
there are not five hundred white votes"

every point and the result of the competition
thus brought about has been a reduction Of

OF the trust IL probably found in the fact that .
number OF new distilleries had been projected

the trust we're evidently prosperous. Scores of
capitalists knew Of the immense profts of the

the geological survey has returned from his
inspection Of the region between the Peace and

braces an area OF $4,000 or 10000 square miles

reported to be there Mr.. Mcconnell said he
certainly found quantities of tar, indicating the
presence Of oil, but just in what quantities it
existed he was not prepared to say before max

death Of Lineman John E. H. Feeks, who met
such a horrible death on a telegraph pole. COM
menced this morning before Coroner Shultz.
MIR. Humstone, superintendent of the Western
Union telegraph company, and three Western
Union hnemen testified regarding the position
DC, of Western Union wires on the fatal pole j.
w. Darrow, foreman of the gang in which Feeks
worked. testified that he instructed Feeks 10
take down the dead wires on the fatal
pole, and that he told Feeks that he
need not be afraid of an electric light wire as
there were none in that vicinity Witness
further said: In my opinion Feeks' face was
touching dead wire which may have been
grounded, and his feet were on a Western
Union or telephone wire. Since the accident
have made thorough investigation 10 learn
whether the dead Western Union wires crossed
an electric light wire or motor wire. The wire,
however, on which Feeks' face rested was in a
condition which made it difficult to trace il, it
having been cut in taking down the body.
The coroner instructed Darrow to make
further investigation of the wire and ascertain
whether it was grounded at any point along
the line.
Other witnesses agreed with Darrow that the
fatal wire was crossed with an electric light
wire.
