FORT SMITH, Ark, June 25 Eugene
Stanley, one of the most notorious young
desperadoes that ever figured In the In
dian country, was lodged behind the bars
of the United States jail this evening by
Deputy Marshal P. Tolbert, of johnson
County. Stanley gave his age as nineteen
years, vet he has eight charges Of high
way robbery, one of murder, and one of
assault to answer. He has served two
terms in the penitentiarV. He has made
most of his record since last November,
when he and his pals robbed an old farmer
named Horn OF about 500. They hung
the old man. burned his feet and threat
ened to pour coal oil on his wife and set
her %atire, before be gave up his cash. In
December Stanley and his cousin, Hanp
Stanley, planned 10 rob a man near BOggy
Depot, ChoctUw nation, and tried to force
q young man named Jones to 90 with
them, Jones ran and Eugene shot him
in the leg. He and his cousin were both
captured the following night and while
hanjcuffed together Eugene slipped his
bracelet and escaped IN broad daylight.
Since then he has been the leader in no
lsss ban six daring robberies. On April
g.. in company with John Boyd and
George Meyer. an escaped convict,
Stanley got into a fight with some ferry
men, in which Meyers and one of the
terrymen were killed while Boyd and
himself we're wounded. Boyd was cap
tured. but Stanley got away. Twelve
days later he was captured neal Red Oak,
G. n and brought to the city on the
night train. He escaped from the hotel
before morning. After getting away he
went 10 johnson County, sixty miles from
here, where be has been at work on a
farm. He was captured yesterday even
ing by strategy Letters found on his
person show that he was preparing to
commit another robbery. and was only
waiting for a companion. He will be
tried jointly with Boyd tor the murder of
Ferryman John.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 24.-Per-
haps the youngest double ~elopement on
record has just been made public ia this
city. Miss Lucy Kelly, whose parents
live here. and Miss Rosa Davis. an orphan
raised by Mrs. l.. B. Stuckey. are the
heroines in the romantic affair, all the par
ties to which are little more than girls and
boys. Miss Rosa, a pretty little miss ofl3,
was married to Charles Mofet, a railroad
fireman, IS years old, Miss Lucy, who
is but Is. became the wife OF Henry
Hood, a 10 year-old railroader. The
parents of the young folks are very indig-
nant over the affair. The boy grooms
are keeping very quiet but seem happy
and confident that their hasty wedding
will not lead to repentance.

MILWAUKEE, June 25.-The Gun
Wa" Chinese doctor fakirs appeared in
court this afternoon for preliminary ex-
animation, and the cour room within the
bar was fairly Uttered with evidence OF
the fraudulent character of their enter
prise, Among the plumber taken from
the plant by the officers was a very sug-
gestive japanese decoration from the
consultation room, consisting of a skele.
ton frame IN the center of which was a
huge artificial spider. Only one witness
was examined, a discharged advertising
agent and sort of confidential correspond
ence clerk. His evidence Of the opera
tons and extent OF the imposition was
very damaging Postmaster Newell has
stopped all mail addressed to Gun Wa
pending instructions from Washington,
and the officers OF the United States court
are interested observers. The testimony
thus far shows a conspiracy to fleece the
public with bogus Chinese remedies aud
bogus physicians by means of carefully
prepared and insinuating circulars on all
sorts of diseases, sent out as direct and
special correspondence. A negro porter
compounded the remedies. The defense.
which has an abundance of money, is
making a desperate fight, as conviction
here will almost certainly be followed by
arrests and prosecutions in the United
States courts at Denver, Detroit, Omaha,
Indianapolis and else where.

RACINE, Wis. June 2 .-The mystic
rious disappearance of John Blackridge,
one OF the wealthiest and most prominent
contractors in the state, has been cleared
up after eight years of waiting. Black
ridge left a wife and three children be-
hind. as well as property valued at sew
eral thousands OF dollars. When he dis
appeared he bad 500, 900 on his person,
1t was feared that lie had been murdered
for his money, but two years afterwards it
was reported that he was living in Mon
tana, and that a pretty brown haired
younf answered to the name of
Mrs. Blackridge. Nothing definite was
known until to-day. when it was an
nounced that Blackridge had written to
his deserted wife, saying that the girl he
had eloped with 30 many wears before had
died, leaving him three children, and i'm
plorinR her to come to him. The
wrcnged wife was won over, and has

ming with its present constitution, per
uniting N suffrage. Woman suffrage
was ~antaGonisGic to the spirit and institu
tons of the American people. He de
plored the extension OF suffrage to the
colored men in the South and said that no
intelligent man today would give it to
them. He himself would no more give
them the right of suffrage than he would
give a deadly Weapon to a child. Hr
would not give it to colored women. who
were far more impulsive and thoughtless
than the men. Another objection Vest
made to the constitution OF Wyoming was
that it gave the right of holding property
to aliens.
Plat SAID Wyoming has as good a
right to admission as any territory ever
admitted, He was surprised that a gem
tleman so devoted to home rule should
not be willing to allow a territory to de-
eide woman suffrage tor itself He be-
lieved the population of Wyoming nearer
lbs, 900 than 100000. In conclusion
Plat spoke of the great resources of Wy
oming and its irrigation. 1t could sup
port l0, 1000, 900 people. At the close OF
Platt'- remarks he made an effort to have
a vote taken on the bill. bu. Vest objected

BosToN. June ga pretty woman,
mounted on a powerful bay. horse, Gre
ated a sensation in the Back Bay district
this morning as she rode along Beacon
street. 1t was not her faultles, equip
ment or well fitting habit that drew the
attention of the puritanical Beacon street
residents. She rode astride, clothespin
fashion, lust like a man. "a foot in each
stirrup and an air Of complete independ-
ence and perfect comfort distinguished
her, Her seat was good and she man
aged the big bay with the skill Of an ac-
complished horse~oman. Under crust
phIlistihes who witnessed the ride say
that the lady appeared to far better ad,
vantage than those of her sisters who pre-
~cariously cling TO the side saddle and as
sumo a pleasure that they do not feel. 1t
is the first time the Miller style of horse
workmanship has been seen in Boston aud
it naturally aroused not a little excite
,ment.

WASHINGTON. June 2h.-Boutelle

naval appropriation bill aud insisted on
its consideration. Notwithstanding the OBJ
lection of Bland that he was thereby CON
Stunning the short time remaining for the
debate on the silver bill.
Boutelle made a short explanation of
the details Of the agreement reached in
conference and called for the previous
question, which was ordered-yeas l39,
nays l03-and the conference report was
adopted.
On motion of Conger the debate on the
silver bill was extended till 3 o'clock.
NURSE. of Massachusetts,. took the floor
in support of the house bill and in oppo-
sition to the senate bill.
The hour OF 3 having arrived, Congcr
moved that voting begin.
Bland moved that the house concur in
the senate amendments.
Springer moved that separate votes be
had on each section.
The first vote taken was on tho propo.
sition to oncur in the first section of the
senate bill providing for free coinage, sill
yer coins to be full legal tender, in place
ofthe FIRST section of the house bill provid
ing for the coinage of "a, 500, 900 worth
OF silver per month.
Spunger's motion was defeated-yeas
1876, nays 1852 twenty-on Republicans
voting aye and nineteen Democrats no.
Springer Withdrew his request for a
separate vote on each section and the
house, by a rising vote-l46 to S5-.non-
coucurred in all of the remaining senate
amendments.
Hit of Illinois presented the confer
enoe report on the diplomatic ap~propria-
ton bill, and it was agreed to.
Cannon, from the committee Oh rules,
reported back a substitute for the resolu-
ton introduced by Lodge OF Massachu-
sets, setting apart five days of the pres
ent week for the consideration of the ma
tional election bill. The substitute pro-
vides that Immediately after the passage
Of the silver bill the house shall proceed
to consider the election bill until July 2,
at IL o'clock, when the previous question
shall be considered ordered. This will
not Interfere with the general %appropria-
ton bills.
Springer moved to adjourn, and Enloe
shouted, This is a revolutionist govern
ment" Finally it was agreed to allow
forty minutes debate on the resolution,
with the understanding that the previous
question should be considered ordered,
aud Springer withdrew his motion to ad-
journ.
Mcmillan and Blount vigorously at
tackled the bill and from this time on
there was great confusion on the floor.
Cannon and O'Neill of Indiana engaged
in n oolloauy somewhat personal and this
added SO much to the already existing
disorder that the sergeant alarms came
forward with his mace of office and re
stored order.
Springer moved to table the resolution.
On a yea and nay vote this was lost-yeas

in9 the only Republican who voted with

After arranging to meet at IL o'clock
