MADE HIS POINT.
Bismarck Succeeds in Making the Gar

BERLIN. Oct. 19.-(Copyright 1889 by
the New York Associated Press. The
agreeable impression left by the car visit
still prevails here. 1t is now definitely
known that BiSmarcks persuasive repre-
car expressions more friendly to himself
and to Germany than the chancellor ex-
pected. Before leaving for Friederichs-
ruhe, Bismarck received several of the lead
ing diplomatic representatives and in
inclinations of the ear. The car, he
said, assured him that Russia would not
provoke war and especially would never
begin war against Germany. The adj
vices from St. Petersburg refer to the ex-
cited alarm of the Pan-Slavists because
the car has been again outwitted De
Giers, whose position Is threatened by the
growing influence of Gen Daschkoff. is

This remark is directly pointed at Dasch-

Herbert Bismarck. The safe arrival of the
imperial party at Gatschina relieved the
official minds here which could not help

ieties prevailing the Cars whole

large sums to be uselessly expended at old
Schloss and the palace at Potsdam for Sc

stay at either.

IDAHO'S COOL NERVE.
Mormons Want Their Refuge Admitted
Clean State.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Gov. Shoup, of
IGaho, in his annual report to the secretary
of the interior gives important provisions
of the constitution which will be submitted

states claims all the essential qualifca-
lions necessary to assume the dignity and
responsibility of statehood The report says
that there are over $4,000 peoplein Idaho
who are adherents of the Mormon faith.
Polygamy, however, is not at the present.
time openly practiced In the territory, but,
the governor adds. that of the fact that it
is practiced secretly to limited extent,
there can be no doubt, as indictments
found in nearly every term of
court held and number of
convictions have been secured. He states,
however, he has reason to believe that a
division of sentiment Is springing up in
the church on the subject and practice of
polygamy Under the constitution poly
gamy will be prohibited and the insertion
of this provision may be regarded the re-
port states, as an expression of the voice of
the people of the territory on this subject.

ROBBED HIM OF HIS WIFE,
$4,000 Damages Claimed for Alternating
the Affections of Wife.

Dies MONIES, Ia, Oct. 21.-A case that
will attract considerable attention on &C
count of the prominence of the defendant
is set for trial in the Polk county dis
trict court this week. It is entitled A.
A. Nicholson VS.. E. J. lngersoll, and is
an action for $4,000 damages for
alternating the affections of the plaintiff
wife. The petition receites that the
woman was made the recipient of gifts
of money and valuable articles from In
gersoll that the latter constantly urged
the woman to leave her lawful husband,
and that finally the relations of Nicholson
and his wife caused final separation be-
tween them Nicholson was In9ersoll's
hired man and lived on his farm adjoining
Des Moines His petition is supported by
the dispositions of John and Anthony An
feson, brothers; Bertha. Lena and Annie
Anfeson, sisters, and Ollie Anfeson, father
of Mrs. Carrie Nicholson. In
addition to these the prosecution claims
it has in its possession eleven letters
written by Ingersoll to Mrs. Carrie Mick
Lesson between Jan. 80, 1887, and April 5,
1887, while Ingersoll was in Florida, and
after Carrie Anfeson had become the wife
of Nicholson. Mr. Ingersoll is president

A Young Eau Claire Girl Looking for the
Father of Her Child.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Oct. 21.-Today a
warrant was issued for the arrest of Harry
Porter, well-known young society and
business man, at the instance of Bernard
Mccarthy, the father of the young woman
concerned. Mccarthy is a mail carrier

promise of marriage, seduced one Cora L.
Mccarthy. Porter left several weeks ago
for trip through the state of Washing

THE CLERGY WOULDN'T HAVE IT.
The EpiscopaIs in Session at New York get
Excited.

New YORK, Oct. 19.-In the afternoon
session of the Episcopals in convention a
storm was created by the introduction of a
resolution passed by the bishops last night
changing the communion service thus:
there shall be no celebration of the Lord 5
supper except there be some one to com
mune with the priest.
DR.. Huntington at once moved that the
house non-concur, saying that the propos-
ed rubic was thoroughly pernicious. 1T
is, he said, precisely in the same line
with the doctrine Of the church of Rome. y
The matter was discussed at long length
and was defeated by clerical vote, lay
delegates being clearly in favor of it. The
house of bishops decided not to concur In
the proposed division of California on the
ground that such division was opposed by
the majority of communicates in diocese
itself and because they were not sufficient
resources to support such division in new
diocese.

WILL USE EVERY MEANS.
The Trial of the Irish Catholic Priest an
Unfair One.

MAYBoRo, Ireland Oct. 19.-Nearly
two hundred additional policemen have
arrived at Mayboro, Ireland, from Dub
lin, and though the popular excitement
continues, the court is proceeding with
the work of selecting jury to try Father
McFadden and his associates for the
murder of Police Inspector Martin in
February last. The court room is filled
with police, and the indignant parishion-
ers of Father McFadden were carefully
excluded. The main object of the
crown attorney appears to be to blacken
the character of the accused priest and to
destroy his popularity with the people.
An admission made by one of the crown
witnesses, a police official who took part
in the fight in which Martin lost his life,
is regarded as one of the highest import
ance by counsel for the defense. This
man said that before Martin was struck at
all he saw Father McFadden with blood
running down his face, evidently from a
wound in the head

THE SENSATION EXPLODED
The Deep-Laid Plot to Rescue Cough
lin and Burke a Fake.
The State Fails to Identify the Last
Suspect Arrested.
StOltenberg Sent the Despatch to
Burke at Winnipeg.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia morning paper
publishes a very sensational account of
deep-laid plot to rescue Coughiin and
Burke from the court room and run them
off under cover of the disturbance created.
1t alleges that the officials in charge of the
case for the state providentiallv learned of
the plot, and have taken such precautions
as will etfectually prevent the loss of any of
the conspiratorS now on trial for the muir
der of DR.. Cronin.
Judge Longnecker and Sheriff Matson
were asked to-day about the story outlined
In the foregoing, and both declared it a
fake. Judge Longnecker also said that
the report that he would bring more evil
dence In the jury-bribing case before the
present grand jury, because he suspected GER
tain members of being in communication
with the defense, as untrue, and a great
injustice to the members of the grand
jury. Continuing, the states attorney
said that as soon as he had any new evil
denee he would bring it before the present
grand jury and not call special jury.
The efforts to complete the last panel of
jurors In the Cronin case were resumed
this morning and the examination of the
venlremen taken up. Attorney Forrest,
of the defense again asked for the address
OF the three women witnesses for the state
and was again informed by Judge Long
ennecker that as yet he had no time to get
them
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 19.-The original of
the telegram sent by the mysterious
stranger from the Grand Pacific Hotel, in
August to Barrister Hough, at Winnipeg,
containing message to be given to Mar
tin Burke for the latter's guidance while
en- route with the officers after his extra
dition, was given up by the Western Union
authorities last night. 1t proves to be in
the handwriting of Stoltenberg, Alexander
Sullivan's confidential secretary. These
and other developments will be submitted
to the special grand jury next week.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The police made an
arrest yesterday afternoon in connection
with the Cronin case to which they seem
to attach considerable importance The
man is short and thick set, and has fair
complexion, and wears a small, we'll
trimmed mustache. He dresses neatly,
and appears to be of more than average
intelligence. 1t was thought at
first that he was mixed in
the jury bribing end of the case, but it was
learned late last night that he played
more important part, although what that
part was could not be definitely ascertain
ed. The officials resisted all attempts to
pump them concerning his name content
ing themselves with simply admitting that
he was wanted for participation in the
murder of DIR. CrOnin.

ried a daughter of the Count de Paris,
the most formidable of pretenders to mon
archial rule over France. King Louis has

tabIish freedom and education and encour-
aging railroads and telegraph.
King Louis has been ailing for some
time, his ill-health eliminating in par
alytic stroke, which resulted in his death
today On Sunday last it was seen that
his end was near, and at midnight the last
sacrament was administered. He revived
somewhat early in the week, but the rally
was Of brief duration. He passed away
peacefully.
Today the entire city of Lisbon is in
mourning, emblems of sorrow being dis
played from every public building, and
from the best private residences, while
muffied bells are tolling.

o'clock this morning. The duke of Bra
CANA will assume the title of Carlos |.
The premier waited upon Don Carlos and
presented the designations of the cabinet

died and kissed the corpse. She then en-
braced Don Carlos, saying: Il bless you
as monarch. hope you will prove as good
a king as you have always been son.
The new king has issued proclamation
in which he promises the faithful observ-
ance of the political instit utions of the
country, and swears to maintain the Cath
Ole religion. the constitutional laws and
the integrity of the kingdom.

AFTER NINETEEN YEARS.
A Murderer Arrested for Crime Commit
ted in 1870.

PARIS, Tex, Oct. Sheriff Cox, of
Hill county, has arrested Kinch West in
Indian territory for the murder of A. D..
Martin in that county in 1870 West be-
longed to Quantrell's gang, and after the
war located in Lamar county, where he
gathered around him a few bold, desperate
men, who stole horses and kept a
reign of terror up and down Red
river for 100 miles. In 1857 they
murdered man near this city. A vigil
ance committee was organized and West
and his party were attacked and two of
them killed. West escaped and word came
that he had been killed in western Texas.

MORE SAMOAN TROUBLE.
The Government Has Few More Matters
to Look After.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Affairs in Sa-
moa are again attracting the attention of
the state department. The German gov
eminent having frankly abandoned its own
protege, Tamasese, and forgiven its enemy
Mataafa, out of comfy to the United
States, is placed in an embarrassing posi-
ton by the unexpected advancement
of Mataafa to the sovereignty of the
islands. This annoying contretemps is
fully appreciated by the department of
state. Under no circumstances will the
autonomy of the Samoans be invaded, but
all that friendly pressure can do will be at
tempted to terminate a movement that
seems fraught with mischief to the ar
engagements lately concluded and to the
islanders There is at least a possibility
that Prince Bismarck may decide to treat
the affair with real or assumed indiffer-
ence, which would be felt as a great relief
at Washington.

NEARING THE END.
The Cronin Jury Wants One Man to Com
plete 1t.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Five different times
to-day the Cronin jury was complete had
not the talisman on the stand at that mo-
ment been peremptorily challenged. The
challenge came each time however, and
tonight the jury was still incomplete.
Four jurors have yet to be sworn In, but
with three or four practically accepted by
both sides The defense has three and the
prosecution twenty-three peremptories
left.
William l.. James, son of the prominent
British-American lawyer, said today In an
interview that the suspect, Kunze, was one
of the men who occupied the fiat on Clark
street, where the furniture found III the
Carlson cottage Is supposed to have been
first taken. Young James says that at the
time of Cronin' disappearance his father
had an Office across the street from the
fiat, and it was from there that he saw
kunze.
Lawyer Foster, according to a local
paper. today outlined the defense which
will be set up by the suspect. Begg. He
was senior guardian of Camp 20, Clan-na-
Gael. and. 1t Is alleged. appointed the
committee which tried Cronin and ordered
his death Foster is quoted as saving there
was no committee appointed by Beggs to
try Cronin; that other committees were
appointed but not for that purpose. The
evidence will show that after the resolution
was discussed ii was decided to refer the
whole matter for final settlement to the
district officer, Edward Spellman, of
Peoria This, Foster says, was the oc-
casion of all correspondence between Spell
man and Beggs. which viii appear in the
trial. If this correspondence contains the
name of Cronin. Foster says he is very
much misinformed

Resolutions to That Effect Adopted by the
Episcopalians.

New YORK, Oct 18.-At the afternoon
session of the Episcopalians in convention
here, there was a warm debate upon DIR.
Huntington's resolution for short office
Of prayers for sundry occasions. The sub
jectwas re-opened by DR.. Egar, who hap
pened to be absent when the matter was
before the committee of the whole. After
a lengthy discussion the resolution was
put and carried, this finally disposes of an
important matter already proposed and re-
jected by two previous conventions
so far as the house of deputies
is concerned. In the house of bishops to-
day it was decided that no change be made
in the term, assistant bishop" which it
was proposed to change for ''coadjutor. !"
The bishops declined to concur with the
lower house in the resolution petitioning
congress upon the subject of divorce, on
the ground that it was inadvisable at this

A WARNING TO s.LUsHERs. :,
The Second Corpse of Pair Who Got
Drunk Together.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Benjamin F. Nun
nely's corpse, with the throat cut from
ear to ear, was found floating IN the river
to-day. Two weeks ago he went on a
spree with John Ranks whose dead body
was fshed out of the river that night by the
bridge tender. There seems to be no doubt
that the two engaged in drunken quar-
rel on the docks, that Ranks knitted Nun
nelly and that the latter in his death
struggles pulled Ranks into the river
and drowned him. The death Of the two
men together is a remarkable sequeal to
their lives, which are strangely alike
Each of the men was born in good circum-
stances and destroyed high prospects by
strong drink Each had wealthy relatives.
Nunnell's father was a wealthy slave
holder and plantation owner His broth
er is a large manufacturer and one Of the
prominent citizens of Dallas, Texas.
