A BANK TELLER GONE,
He Left Louisville Saturday With $780,

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 4-wm. H. Pope.
teller of the Louisville City national bank, alb
seconded on last Saturday evening with $50, 900
OF the banks cash in his possession. Nothing
has since been heard of him. 1t is supposed
that he is now in Canada. The bank will not
be inconvenienced by its loss, which will amount
to not more than $4,000, as Pope furnished a
good bond of $40, 600.
1t is known that Pope took the Monon ex-
press Saturday night for Chicago 1t is not
known whether he went to Mexico or to Canada
from there. A large number of his photographs
and descriptions OF him were mailed out yester-
day to all points, including Canada, United
States and Mexico. His downfall is attributed
TO whisky and poker
Pope is a native of this state and thirty-eight
years old. His father, Wallace Pope, resides
eight miles out on the marrow gauge" rail-
road. He was thought to be ''close." He had
been leading DIR. Jekyl and Mr.
Hyde life for some years, as
many OF his boon companions are aware. AT
his room he was an unusually quiet young
man and the only articles missing from there
were Bible and a prayer book which be must
have taken with him. At room on Jefferson
street he frequently gave wine suppers to
young men Of his class and fast young women
he gambled and was known as sucker" He
frequently was drunk over night, but was al
ways at his desk promptly.

CAIRO, H., March 4.-The Ohio river is now
over fifty miles wide at this point 1t extends
from the Cairo levee, where it is banked up
forty-fve feet above the low-water mark, into
Kentucky till it strikes the hills there, forming
one solid sheet of water, except for the narrow
strips Of roek-bound earth upon which the
Mobile and Ohio and the Illinois Central rail-
roads run south. A mile below here it joins
the Mississippi, which in turn extends into
Missouri another five miles, making the COM
bined width of the two rivers over one hun

favor of the elaine of the contestee, Cate. The
case, he said, was peculiar one. The counsel
for the contestant was W. W. Dudley, better
known, perhaps, as "Blocks-of-fve" Dudley.
1t was an interesting thing to hear that potori-
Gus gentleman discussing before the COM
mittee of claims the importance Of
the purity of the ballot and the
necessity Of giving the voter the untrammeled d
and free right to vote AS he pleased. To bor-
row the simiie of the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts Qdr. Greenhalge) when he (Mr.
Crisp heard Dudley statement, he thought he
would say, This is
THE DEVIL QUOTING SCRIPTURE"
but it had occurred to him that while the
notorious Indianian might not be as his dis
tinguished friend from Massachusetts, was, q
civil service reformer, he was not the devil,
and he knew that what he was quoting to the
committee was not Scripture. tLaughter.l
PROTEST FROM INDIANA.
Mr.. Cheadle Qnd.) entered his protest
against the making of the character Of a man
who in the field of battle had spent his blood
in the defense OF his country and whose life he
(Mr. Cheadle) challenged any human being to
attack. IApplause on republican sidel. No.
body on the other side was able to prove a
single charge against the republicans Of Indi-
ana. tRenewed applause.
Mr.. Crisp was unaware that he had said any
thing to provoke the outburst on the part of
his friend from Indiana. He had spoken of a
mans reputation throughout the country-the
general repute in which he was held-and he
had not spoken unkindly. He had been illus
trating the peculiarities of the case. That was
all
He was showing that the counsel for the
contestant, who had argued for free and pure
ballot, had such a reputation throughout the
country that he did not suggest to the hearers
OF his argument that he was strictly in
earnest in making it. Did not gentlemen
know the different effect upon the public mind
the same words might have when coming from
different men. That was the idea he
meant to convey. Wh.n he had
heard the counsel talking about the
importance OF pure ballot and
the protection of the people from corrup-
tlon at the polls, though he could not call him
the devil quoting the scripture, he was re-
minded OF the negro rhyme, preserved by the
Senator from North Carolina:
''De bigger that you see de smoke,
De less de fire will be,
And de leastest kind of possum
Climbs the biggest kind of tree.
De leader at de ole camp ground
Dat kin loudest sing and shout
Is gwine to rob some hen roost
Beto' de week Is out"
Laughter
Mr.. Crisp then took up the evidence in the
case, and argued that in its report the majority
OF the committee had not obeyed the law of
fair playa law which was dear to the Ameri-
can people.

they were signing. has not made its appearance,

THE ARKANSAS CONTEST.
The consideration of the Arkansas contested
election case of Featherstone against Cate was
then resumed, Mr.. Dalzel CPa.) taking the
floor.
In supporting the claims of the contestant
he said that in the election in the first district
OF Arkansas Winchester rifles revolyers and
bowie knives had played an important part.
This district, he said, was adjoining that in
which Mr.. Clayton, man OF national reputa-
ton, when in the exercise of a right which be-
longed to the humblest American citizen, had
been murdered in cold blood at the very foot
OF the altar Of liberty.
CHARGING INTIMIDATION AND FRAUD.
Mr.. DalzelI confined his remarks principally
to the election methods Of the democrats in
Crittenden county, charging intimidation and
fraud and controverting the statement made
by MIR. Cultivate of Ohio that there was no
evidence that the ''double-action" ballot box
was used in the country.
MIR. Outhwaite challenged the production of
any evidence that the ballot box exhibited by
him yesterday had ever been used.
Mr.. Dalzell replied that the contention of the
majority of the committee on elections was
that ballot box identical with that presented
had been used in Crittenden county in at least
three polling places. The contestee in his
brief himself admitted that the chivalry of
Crittenden county, armed with Winchester RI
fes, had found it necessary to drive out twenty
or thirty unarmed black men.
REIGN OF TERROR.
After the title of contestee had been secured
by crime the contestant. in the attempted en-
ercise of his right under the law, had been
prevented by force and violence from taking
testimony. His life had been put Ia
jeopardy, his counsel had been abused.
his witnesses had been maltreated. Such
Q reign of terror had been instituted
that the contestant had been obliged rs
cross the Mississlppi river TO Memphis before
be could take any testimony. Gentlemen on
the other side said that the contestant and his
witnesses would have been perfectly safe in the
