OswEGO, Kas., Jan. 22.-Mrs. Davis,
arrested in Michigan on the supposition
that she was the famous ''old Mrs. Ben
der" one of the noted family of mur-
derers, and brought here for trial, has
become insane. The charge has weighed
heavily on her mind, and old age, ac-
companied by the hardships of jail life,
has turned her mind. The physicians
say she is hopelessly insane. Her trial
and that of her daughter are set for the
March term of court.

OTHERS IMPLICATED.
Fitzgerald, Arrested for Forgery,
Held to the Grand Jury.


John Fitzgerald, the man arrested by
Inspector Hoy night before last on a
charge of forgery, yesterday waived ex-
animation and was held to the grand
jury in bonds of $500. Everything con-
nected with the case points to the
conclusion that Fitzgerald is but one of
several astute individuals.wh have been
doing quite an extensive business i'll
Minneapolis and that he is more of a
cats paw than anything else. Some
one else, reputed to be Temple Court
LAWYER, has evidently been drawing the
papers while Fitzgerald and others
were engaged in pushing" them. The
check upon which Fitzgerald was ar
rested was for 1856, bore the name of
S. T. Duffy, and was cashed by III. X.
Lamereaux. Other checks signed by
]. Bowers were also caShed by Lamer-
eaux. James Lord, saloonkeaper, was
another victim.
1t has been said that Fitzgerald was
one of the Adamson gang, but Attorney
Merrick denies that Fitzgerald was ever
connected with Adamson in any way,
other than that he had borrowed money
of Adamson. Whether he was one of
Adamson's satellites or not, Fitzgerald
has been mixed up in real estate trans
actions of shady character. The way
the real estate sales are managed is to
sell one piece of property to more than
one person, the sale being made for such
price that the purchaser will be de-
luded into paying cash before examin-
ing the title. The man who gets his
deed on record first is the lucky man.
So tar as the checks go. and there are
several which bear false signatures,
Fitzgerald fatty refuses to divulge the
but it is said that three men, named Gar.
rison, Maxon and Rogers, are impli-
Gated. The police are after big game.

UniOnist coalition, but no one was pre-
pared for the extreme movement he has
undertaken. From the tone of his adj
dress to his constituents 1t is evident
that Mr.. Game is paving the way for his
return to the Liberal fold, where he
will be heartily welcomed. He ex-
presses his CONVICTION that the errors
Into which the Liberal party were led
by its desire to do justice to Ireland
have been remedied; that the defective
portions Of the plan of home rule have
been eliminated from the scheme, and
that the principles of that programme
will be accepted by the people at the
neXtgeneral elections. Nothing stronger
than this declaration of Liberal princi-
pie could be expected from one of Mr..
GladstOne'S most Steadfast followers,
and this, together with his consistent
opposition to the government compensa-
ton scheme, should secure to him the
undivided Gladstonian vote in his dis
trict. The Conservatives will nominate
a candidate to contest Mr.. Caine's
seat, and the Unionist leaders have
decided to support the Tory. 1t is
certain, however, that many of the
Unionist electors will adhere to MIR.
Game in spite of the decision OF the
leaders. Mr.. Goschen's authorship Of
the unfortunate compensation scheme
and his obstinate adherence to it in the
house and in the cabinet councils, de-
spite the certainty of defeat in the
event of retention, will greatly enhance
the chances of Mr.. Balfour for the gov
eminent leadership in the commons
when Mr.. Smith retires. Mr.. BalfOur
is personally very popular with his col
leagues, and his qualities of leadership
have been so thoroughly tested as to
leave no doubt of his ability to COM
mand the government forces in the
house with credit to himself and adj
vantage to his party.

REV. SMITH BAKER.
Lowell Sorrows Over His Depar-
ture for MINNEAPOLIS.

Lowell Sorrows Over His Depar-
ture for Minneapolis.
The securing OF Rev. Smith Baker by
the Park Avenue Congregational church
has caused much sorrow in Lowell,
Mass. the gentleman's present home,
and the newspapers of that place lament
his loss to them in no measured terms.
He went from Maine to Lowell nearly
twenty years ago, and since that time
is said to have made for himself more
than local reputation while pastor OF
the First Congregational church of that
place. In conclusion to long article
the Lowell Vox Populi says of him:
"Mr. Bakers work at the First church
has been a remarkable triumph of
faithful and earnest labor. His regular
congregations have been the wonder OF
all beholders. Week after week, year
in and year out, he has drawn hundreds
of young people to his evening lee
lures, completely filling the great space
of his auditorium. A church has been
gradually gathered. which numerically
stands among the first in the state;
while III harmonious and loyal spirit 1T
is unexcelled anywhere. A new house
of worship, after suggestions by Mr..
Baker, unites every conceivable con-
venience with architectural excellence.
MIR. Bakers place will not readily be
filled. Indeed, he himself could not
have filled it when he first came here.
He has grown into it by degrees, and so
must any successor do, if at all. In
parting with such an undoubted public
benefactor and generous, whole-Souled
man, the people of Lowell, without re-
gard to sect or opinion, are suffering
real loss; but 1.-The field is the world"
and nobody is essential to any one local
ity. AS one prop after another is taken
away, new ones are always found to
supply the deficiency; and, while we
regret the withdrawal of Mr.. Baker
from our community, we congratulate
his prospective parish and look for an
other to take up the work which here
he laws down.

SPRINGFIELD, June 24.-The Repub-
lican state convention was called to
order at noon in the hall of the house of
representatives by Gen. James S. Mar
tin, chairman of the central committee.
800 delegates being present. The gal
leries were filled. and high degree of
political enthusiasm prevailed. The
heat was intense, and more than thou
sand fans were waving on the main
floor. Maj. Gen. George S. Roper was
this morning selected to succeed Long"
Jones, as representative of the Sixth
district, on the central committee. Law
renee Paul was selected to succeed Maj.
Bivens in the Thirteenth, or Capital dis
trict. A dispatch was received and read
from Senator CullOm cOngratulatinE the
convention and the party on its pros
poets state and national. The districts
were called and the members of the
various committees were announced.
After a short recess the convention re-
assembled, and Gen. John Men ulta, Of
Bloomington, was made permanent
chairman. and he spoke at some length.
In making up the state central commit
tee at the first session, Hon. A. M.
Jones, of 10 Davies county, who was
for some years chairman of the COM
mittee, and notable figure in Illinois
politics, was left out. After the per-
manent organization had been COM
pleted his friends went to work to rem
edy this, and succeeded in securing the
selection of two members from the state
at large. These were Mr.. Jones and E.
Fl. Morris, colored man, from Chicago.
Candidates were then presented for
nomination for the Office of state treas
urer, and Franz Amberg, of Chicago,
was selected on the second ballot. DIR.
Richard A. Edwards, the present in
cumbent, was renominated for superin-
tendent of public instruction, without
opposition.

Hotel Walters Asked to Join a
Newly Organized Branch.
There is scheme on foot to induce
all the local hotel walters to join an
order of the walters branch of the
Knights of Labor Overtures have been
made to the walters at the West hotel
by committee from the newly organ
lied colored walters assembly in st.
Paul. The move has been on foot for
several weeks, since it originated in
Chicago The colored walters at the
Ryan hotel. st. Paul, were then ap-
preached and organized. they i'll turn
seeking out their fellows in Minneapo-
lis. So far their efforts have not met
with much success, but they are keep
ing up the siege and it is probable that
a local branch of the order will be es-
tabliShed.
1t is supposed that the move is look
ing for an increase in wages, but on that
score the walters at the West can find
little to complain of, as they receive $50
per month, including table board. Extra
pay is given for all overtime work. The
wages given are equal to $50 per month,
according to the figuring of an old hotel
man, who places the board, extra pay
and tips at S22 per month.
Hotel managers in Minneapolis state
that they will submit to no demand for
higher wages from the men. as there is
plenty of good help of the sort to be OBJ
tanned on short notice from other parts
of the country. The movement, such as
it is, is being carried OH with the utmost
secrcSy, and the men refuse to make
any statemedt in regard to the matter.

Those Herdic Coao hes.

The herdic coach line case was de-
cided in the supreme court. which af-
firms the action of the district court in
discaarging the receiver, G. G. Joslyn,
in spite Of the fact that his fees have
not been paid. The supreme court says
that a receiver cannot be retained
merely to enable him to get assets into
his hands from which to pay his COM
pensation and charges. Where re-
ceiver has no assets in his hands. it is
not error to discharge him upon the ap-
plication of those at whose instance he
was appointed, without making pay
ment of his compensation and charges
condition precedent to the discharge.
Upon an application by parties inter-
ested for such discharge and one by the
receiver for adjustment of his compen-
sation and allowance of his accounts,
both heard together, the court may
grant the discharge and determine the
matter of the compensation and ac-
oountc in Suhcauuont order
