"The word precious cannot be applied

For some years past we have had but few

from India, are easily procured, and there
is but little waste in cutting. They are al

THAT MISSING WITNESS.

Great Excitement in Peoria Because of the
Disappearance of SpeIImau.

PEORIA, ILL, October 31.-Ed SPELL
man, the district delegate of the Clan-na-
Gael, who is wanted as witness in the Gro
min case, is still missing, and his absence is
creating no little excitement in this
city among his friends, who have already
begun to charge all sorts of things concern
ing his disappearance. Before Sheriff
Matson left here last night he
gave the Sheriff of this county the
bench warrant which Judge Mcconnell
issued for the Peorian. In case he turns up
here he will be arrested. placed in Jail and
the Cook county authorities notified. SPELL
mans disappearance is unaccountable. He
left here over two weeks ago for flying
trip to Cincinnati in the interest of the
whisky trust, and when he had concluded
his business in that place he informed his
family BY mail that he was going farther
East, and was not fully determined on his
future movements.
That was nearly two weeks ago and moth
ing has been heard about him since. His
family is decidedly uneasy about him, es-
peclally since it is learned that he prom
ised Judge Longenecker that he would
respond promptly to any telegram
or other message informing him that his
presence in Cook county was desired. Some
of his most intimate personal friends assert
that he was prevailed upon either by threats
or entreaties to leave the city, and remain
concealed until tie end of the Cronin
case The letters which Beggs wrote to
Spellmar are in the hands of the prosecu-
tion as evidence. Great influence has been
brought to bear on him of late, and he is
said to have often regretted furnishing

Scheme 20 be Frustrated.

rsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcr

rsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.J
RICHMOND, VA, October 31.-A stranger
in any Of the Virginia cities would imagine
from the appearance of the streets that the
people were not disturbed about the cleo
ton, and yet the present canvass has more
thoroughly wrought up the people than any
since the war. For the first time the white
ladies of the cities are taking hand, and
they have inaugurated a movement to
get up nice snacks for the men on
duty at the polls. The picturesque cavalry
rides which gave Governor Fitzhugh Lees
canvass such success and fame have indeed
been wanting, but the Democrats are en-
gagged as well. though in different way.
The Democratic State Committee to-day tele-
graphed the following to every city and town
in the Commonwealth:
ALEXANDRIA, VA, October 3l-Trustworthy
information has reached the Democratic State
Committee as follows:
"GENTLEMEN-I overheard some instruc-
tions given to some of Mahone's workers and
think it best to let you know. They are to put
in SO many extra ballots st the country voting
places, and they are to have some fighting men
on hand and have the votes counted or the
whole vote thrown out, and this is to be
large Democratic counties. These lighting
men are to be on hand az small country places
where farmers are the principal voters and
they are supposed to let the vote be counted
rather than have a fight and these fighting
men are instructed to stand up and make de-
mands of +his kind and threaten to die before
they see the vote thrown out, and the farmer
Judges of Elections are supposed to back down
rather than stand firm. The Democrats every
where must be on guard and defy intimidation
to the uttermost By order of the committee
w. w. SCOTT, BASIL b. GORDON,
Secretary Chairman.
The meaning of this circular is that every
Democrat who can master a revolver will
have it convenient for use on election dav,
and when Mahone's fighting men attempt to
carry out his programme they will be shot
dead. Senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
who was summoned in hot haste by Malone
to aid him, has caught some of Mahone's
irritability of temper. To-day, in talking
over the contests, he threatened that the ma
tionaI election bill would be passed as the
outcome of the present Virginia canvass.

BOWLING ANALYSIS.


During conversation last evening Mr.. Mac
pherson said: There are more cricket players
in and about Pittsburg now than there ever
were since I knew the locality. The players
are not only more numerous, but they are bet
ter players than we have ever had. feel conf
nent that we Wen get the best team in the
country together here next season. All that
we require is TO have more practice and think
we will succeed next season in having that
shortcoming remedied. Most certainly we will
have more local games than we have had previ-
Ously during a season, and il is safe TO say we'll
have better attractions. 1t is probable that
there will be some prominent foreign teams
here The past season has not been q bad one
for us financially. OF course we have not fig-
ured up the accounts yet, but we are all right.
The fact IS however, that we don't play for
financial gain. In many cases we pay our own
expenses Burrows, our professional, has been
very satisfactory TO us and there is no reason TO
think he won't be with us next season. He is
very painstaking gentleman and good cricket
player

the Trouble.
TOPEKA, KAN, October 31.-Adiutant
General Roberts received telegram to-day
notifying him of a riot at AxteIl, Marshall
county. The telegram was from the Ma yor
of the city, and asked that detachment OF
militia be sent to quell the disturbance
The Adjutant General at once ordered out
Company G of the Third Regiment, located
at Marysville, and left on the first train for
the scene of the trouble. As vet only
meager particulars have been received.
AxtelI, town Of about 700 people, is
settled largely by Catholics. On Wednes-
day q Methodist minister named johnson,
from the Eastern part of the State, arrived
at Axtell to hold a revival meeting. He
had quite large convention in the evening
at the Methodist church, and in the audience
were a number Of Catholics. Soon after
beginning he made an attack upon the
Catholic Church. He became so abusive
that one of the Catholics present called him
liar. He continued his remarks until the
Catholics could stand it no longer. -Four
of them rushed to the pulpit, and taking the
preacher by the collar threw him down.
In moment the pulpit was surrounded
by an angry mob, and general melee re-
suited.
Although the Catholics were in the mi
nority, they were too much for the MethO-
dists, and succeeded in throwing the
preacher and two others out Of the house.
The whole town was soon aroused. Four
Catholics were arrested and put in the
city prison. This so enraged the Cath
Ollie population that they organized to
assist their imprisoned associates. The
ported that the whole town is organizing to
go to the rescue of Axtell Catholics. The
Mayor says he is powerless to control the
mob, and fears q conflict between the two
elements.

THEY HAVEN'T SIGNED.
No BrotherhOOd Contracts Issued TO thu
Players Yet.

No Brotherhood Contracts Issued 10 the
Players Yet.
THE DISPATCH is authorized to state def.
nitely that not player of the local club has
signed anything like Brotherhood contract
yet A local player. speaking on this matter
yesterday afternoon to the writer, said:
'On my honor tell you that have signed no
contract TO play in Brotherhood team, and /
also know that no other Pittsburg player has.
This is absolutely correct Furthermore
don't think that any player in the country has
signed q brotherhood contract, simply because
none have been issued. We don't know what
will be done until the meetings are over. One
thing know Is that our agitation has caused
the League magnztes to listen to u.s."
The above statement relating to the Brother
hood contracr can be accepted as being abso-
lutely correct II shows conclusively that all
the stories which have been current to the
effect that the League players have signed to
play IN new organization is entirely untrue.
