Portage, accompanied by two detec-
tives and two friends, intimately
acquainted with Tascott. They left
Chicago two weeks ago Sunday, but
upon arri wing at Rat Portage, which is
$50 miles east of Winnipeg, on the line
of the Canadian Pacific railway. they
discovered that the object of their
search had suddenly disappeared few
days before. No one knew the direction
he had taken, but few days later the
detectives struck his trail, which led up
into the interior of Canada, in the di-
recti6n of Hudson bay, and Mr.. Stone
and his party again started in pursuit,
after telegraphing Mrs. Smell that he
had great hopes of the capture OF the
bad one. Several days have elapsed
since she has received this and She has
not since heard from Mr.. Stone. She
is hourly expecting word that Tascott
has been captured.

by Adolph Woolner, Peoria distiller,
who is one of the nine trustees of the
big combination. Mr.. Woolner said;
1.-THE whisky men are in favor of
Matthews because they think he will
collect the tax closely. You see it is to
our interest to have the revenue laws
strictly enforced. A new man who
lacks experience and doesn't know the
law cannot prevent the violation
OF the law and Illicit distil-
ling. Miller, the present commits
sioner, did pretty we'll the first two
preparation and hampered him so much
that moonshiners have sprung up in
nearly every Southern state. The state
officers and congressman in the South
think it is all right to make moonshine
whisky, and if appropriations are not
made the Internal revenue
officers are powerlesS. During the last
SIX months the entire revenue depart
ment was loosely conducted. The col
lectors, supervisors, deputies and agents
all knew they had to get out. and they
did not care how lax the government
business was done. A man like Mat
thews would soon stop all this.
He has been collector of the Quincy
district. and when Bristow made such a
raid on the Chicago and st. Louis dis
tillers, Matthews was of great service to
the department-S0 much so that BriS-
tow, who expected to be nominated and
elected president, promised to appoint
him commissioner OF internal revenue.
Illinois ought to have the appointment
because we pay most of the revenue"

MANIAC MURDERER.
Strange Story of Crime From the
Interior of Ohio.

interior OF ONO.
TIFFIN, O., March 13.-Several years
ago Frank Fairbanks, of Wood county.
stabbed and killed man named Mamma.
han in saloon brawl at the village Of
Haskins. He was tried for the offense
and sent to the penitentiary. About a
year ago he was released on parole and
went to live OH an island in the Maumee
river belonging to Chauncey, Parker, of
Bowling Green. He lived alone until
last fall, when he took in
a man named Beck and woman,
both notorious characters of Toledo.
The three lived there for some time.
About two months ago man went to
the island and inquired for Fairbanks,
and Beck said that he had gone away.
Nothing was thought of the matter until
others began making inquiries, and
Beck told each one different story.
This at last aroused suspicion, and in
quiry was made at several places where
Beck said the missing man had gone,
including the prison, where he had to
report at regular intervals, but at each
one of these places he had not been
seen or heard from. The only trace
that could be discovered was that he
had gone to Toledo, and then re-
turned to Waterville, where he was
met by the woman and they left to-
gether. This was several days before
the fact of his disappearance became
known. The woman soon left and
short time afterwards Beck disappeared.
Beck was found few days ago wan
dering near Green Springs, Seneca
county. He was raving maniac and
he was taken to the Toledo insane asy-
lum. When found he had on coat be-
longing to Fairbanks which had two
bullet holes in it. He raves constantly
and talks CT the missing man, and from
his rawlings it is conjectured that he and
the woman murdered Fairbanks and
threw his body in the river. The
woman cannot be found. The state has
offered 5000 reward to the person who
will find Fairbanks.

NAMED AND ACCEPTED.
Walker Blaine Gets a Place With
His Pa--Other Nominations.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The presi-
dent to-day sent the following nomina-
tions to the senate: Eugene Schuyler,
of New York, to be assistant secretary
of state, vice George L. Rives, resigned:
Walker Blaine, of Maine, to be exam
iner of claims for the department. of
state, vice Francis Wharton, deceased:
Cyrus BuSsey, of New York city, to be
assistant secretary of the interior, vice
David IL. Hawkins, resigned.
AND THESE WE'RE CONFIRMED.
The senate, i'll executive session, con-
firmed the following nominations:
Arthur e. Mellette, to be governor of
Dakota: Luther B. Richardson, sec
retary of Dakota; Cornelius Fl. Hand
ford, chief justice of the supreme court,
Washington territory; George w. Irwin,
marshal of Montana territory; Smiley
u. Chambers, United States attorney
for the district of Indiana; George S.
Batchellor, of New York, to be
assistant secretary of the treasury;
Albert g. Porter, minister to
Italy; John A. Enander, minister
to Denmark; Walker Blaine, examiner
of claims for the state department.
Postmaster, among others, Richard
Root, Keokuk. 10. The confirmation of
Walker Blaine was out of the usual
order of business, and made by unani-
nous consent, probably as a compli-
ment to his father. The position to
which he is appointed is practically
that of legal adviser, or 'law officer" of
the state department, and its incumbent
necessarily occupies specially conf
Dental relations with the secretary.

BISMARCK, Dak., March 13.-The
opium smuggling trial was closed in the
United States court here this evening.
In the case of Curran, the old man first
arrested for transporting the opium
from Canada to Dakota. the jury dis
agreed, standing eight for acquittal
and four for conviction. CuFran then
changed his pleadings of not guilty and
pleaded guilty to the charge of facil-
itating in the transportation of the
opium, but not to intentional wrong
doing. After conference with the at
torneys the case against Curran was
dismissed, and sentence on the charge
to which he pleaded guilty was sus-
pended. Leonard, the Denver man, to
whom the opium was consigned, was
sentenced to seven months in the pen
itentiary. 1t is believed that the action
in the case of Curran means that he
will furnish evidence which will lead
to the arrest of the entire gang which
has been engaged in smuggling opium
fol- years. 1t is undoubtedly a gigantic
combination, and their dishonest gains
reach into the millions. They have
been operating all along the Canadian
border.

A CRUEL HOAX.
Partial Explanation of the Mys-

r. r. RartOn


terious Disappearance of Rev.
r. III. Barton.
Special to the Globe.
MARS HALL, Minn., March 13.-The
sensation caused here by the sudden
and unexplained disappearance of Rev.
F. III. Barton, of st. Paul, who was in
charge of the Episcopal parish here, has
had some light thrown on it. Bishop
Gilbert Instituted an investigation
through Rev. w. S. Sayers, of Monte
video. who ascertained that while on
visit to Granite Falls Mr.. Barton re-
ceived supposed telegram stating that
he was not wanted in Marshall and
might go home, signed. MRS. Will
iams." AS Mrs. j. w. Williams is pres
ident of the guild the dispatch was not
questioned. 1t was found, however.
that no telegram went over any line to
Granite Falls, and the dispatch was a
forgery, whether maliciously or a joke
is not ascertained. The case is being
followed up and the perpetrator is
likely to be found soon. The Episcopal
guild here deems Mr.. Barton entirely
blameless and the victim of a cruel
fraud. A numerously signed testi-
monIal to that effect has been pre-
Sented to him.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The Re-
publican members of the privileges and
elections committee held conference
this afternoon for the purpose of deter
mining upon the future procedure of
the committee with regard to alleged
Southern election outrages, but, with
out coming to any conclusion. adjourned
until tomorrow, when the matter will
be further considered. There was
some discussion in regard to the calling
up in the senate of a resolution similar
to that proposed by Senator Chandler
during the recent session of congress,
directing the committee to investigate
elections in Louisiana and other South
ern states. 1t is possible there may be
a speech made in the senate before
adjournment on this topic, but as the
sen ltors are generally pretty well
tagged out. it is improbable that any
election resolution will be pushed to
vote, as it is thought it would certainly
give rise to prolonged debate which
might keep the senate here some time.
