 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 4.-The Nihi1is, leader Pierra has been arrested at War saw. On his person and in his lodgings the police found pamphlets and letters involving number of officers of the Imperial Guard in what is believed to be desperate plot against the life of the Car.

Already many of the conspirators have been taken into custody, and those still at largo are under espionage or being tracked by police officials to the end of their lodgment in prison, whence they will almost certainly go to their death.
 Several of tho implicated persons were apprehended while attempting to \eave the country.

PURSUING PARNELL.
Tho Tories Would Liko to Drive the Irish
 Leader Out of the Country.

Tho Tories Would Llk0 to Drive the Irish
 Leader Out of the Country.
 LONDON, Jan. 4.-The manifest ob- iect of the Tories is to drive Parnell out of Parliament and if possible out of the country. Tho conspirators are bold, wealthy and unscrupulous, and tho ingenuity with which they arc making their attacks betrays master hand at the helm. The denial of tho Irish leaders mother that the sum subscribed for her relief has ever reached her, with the natural inference that it has been stolen by the ''patroits" on the way, is made the most of and retailed with an assumed indignation that is easily penetrated.
 There is scarcely any doubt that if OShoa's suit develops any proof of in fidelity with the correspondent, the husband or some of the woman's rela- tives will .S egged on to make a charge of adultery against Mr. Parnell, that. if maintained, will either land him in jail or compel him to leave tho country.
 The same parties who engineered the Pigott conspiracy arc at the head of "Times" forgery scheme has only the moro embittered them agai list those who excited against them the contempt of humanity, drove ono of the supporters of these charges to his death. besides causing the suicide of the miserable Pigott, and crippled for time tho resources of the greatest journal in Europe.
 It will be struggle to the death, and Irish society will be asked by thesc sclf-constitutcd moraliSts whether it can further recognize an intruder upon the tcnets of the social circle and violator of tho most sacred family ties.
 Tho latest reports in the clubs in regard to the leadership of the Irish party are to tho effect that Mir parncll will not consider it necessary to even temporarily retire from his post on ac- count of tho O'Shca divorce proceed ings. The somewhat peculiar circun- stances of the case are believed by Mir. Parnell's advisers, so it is said. to re- licve him from tho necessity of adopt. Ing the usual course.

TROUBLE AT BARNwELL.
An 1nJudiclons Act by Either Side lfa1
 Cause a Bloody Riot,

CHARLESTON, S. C., Jan.4.-The situ- ation at Barnwell is electrical. An in- ludicious word from either party might be made the cause of bloody riot The whites don't want to fight, but young hot heads go around with a chi D on their shoulders to be knocked off The danger. if any, proceeds from the country negroes.
 Reports are continually received and circulated of armed negroes marching toward town. On these reports aid was called for last night and the whole State was alarmed. Prominent negroes who were interviewed to-day say there never has been cause for apprehension from their relation. and they would have been glad to help guard the town against tho threatened invasion if asked. Barnwell people seem to have lost sight of the horror of the lynching in the sympathy with the four white men brutally murdered by negroes dur ing the past month, Two detectives went over to Barnwell to ferret out the lynchers, but the town got too hot for shem and they had to move on.

THE SILVER PROBLEM.

Presidsnt Harrison Pleased With MT.
 Windom's Accommodation.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 1t is reported that the President has decided to adopt Secretary Windom's recommendation that the Government shall accept silver bullion and issue certificates therefor at the market rate, the certificate to serve as currency and that the Presi- don't will soon send message to Con- gross on the subject.
 MT. Harrison goes even further than Mir. Windom in his approval of the pro- Ject. He is impressed with it's econom- ic soundness as principle. believes in it's beneticent effect upon the prosper 1ty of the country, and regards it as brilliant step toward the determination of the silver problem.

 There is little doubt that majority of the Republican Senators, and some of tho Democratic members of tho Son ate. favor the bill, and it is likely first to pass that body.

BRYCE IN THE LEAD.
Hut tho Fight for tho Ohio Senatorship
 Still Very Interesting


 Stil Very Interesting. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 4.-There is a great deal of talk being indulged in, but tho Senatorial contest remains in about the same condition as last night That C. S. Brlce is in the lead is con ceded by all good judges who arc not actively engaged in the interests of other candidates. While he will have a strong lead on the first ballot there Is no certainty of his nomination. The mem bcrs are here and a majority of them would like to see Brice nomin- ated.
 The caucus for the organization of the two branches of tho Legislature was called for yesterday afternoon, and an adjournment was taken till to-day, when the work will be disposed of. These carly caucuess indicate a pur- pose on the part of the leader in the race, who is conceded to bo Brice, to hurry the business through in order that the i'll feeling engendered over the disappointment in getting small places may have time to wear off. An early report to-day that there was scheme on foot by the Democrats Of the Senate to seat Marquis in place of Lampson as Lieutenant Governor and then take up Governor Campbell as Q candidate against Brice for the Senate Is discredited on all hands. It appears to be mere talk, as the Lieutenant GOvernorShip contest is now running it's usual course.

 The Manhattan Company gets the coal this year cheaper than last, and there is some talk that the relations be- tween the Lehigh Valley and the Read ing may be estranged because of the transaction, especially as they are be- lleved to be rather strained at present The Lehigh Valley people decline to say anything on the subject, but inti- mated that the Reading may not get the contract after all. At the Reading office it is said the contract was made by the Eastern agent by direction O President Corbin,

The Excitement Not over.
PREJUDICE AGAINST rIllEv Es.
Objections of Connecticut Farmers to
 Horse stealing.

Collections of Connecticut Farmers to
 Horse Stealing.
 Eastern Connecticut is overrun with horse theives who do pretty much what they please with farmers horses, and "thief detecting societies are being formed in every considerable village. The thieves come out of New York and Boston for week $ "break" among the Connecticut horses, and, after steal ing a steed, they go back to those cities on the keen run! Not long ago thieves were chased by officers from Jewett City, eight miles north of Putnam, to Harlem Bridge, and there escaped. Pursuers were only couple of hours behind the fugitives all the way, and not by the faded steeds of each party. At the Connecticut river the thieves turned north from the ferry toward Hartford. and gained few miles. They went from there into New Haven, where they spent the night next morning, three hours ahead of the officers, they started at sunrise, made ''double" into Litchheld county, thence turned and drove to New York. There are half Il dozen horse thieves in the Brooklyn, Conn, jail. and about every week another one goes to join the force therin. In one little country hamlet among the Windham county hills, North Sterling, four thieves have been caught by officer $ after a chase of from twenty to loo miles. Some of the thieves captured were chased far into the wilds of Rhode Island. One thief was pursued from Hartford half way across Windham county by cowboy, who Was home from the west, and held up in frontier style, the cowboy riding up on horse back on country road, covering the thief with navy revolver and yelling "Hands up"
 The stolen horses, once they are in New York are forever lost to their own CTS. They are run into bogus stable and in two hours their appearance IS so changed by means of paint and other jockey devices that the men who raised them wouldn't recognize them. The farmers and livery men of eastern Con- nee, icut are in constant excitement and trepidation on account of the bold horse thieving.
