Alleged Plot to Rescue Wright.

BENzoNIA, Mich, April L.. -Something
of a sensational nature has been brought to
light in the Wright murder case. The
sheriff received word from q reliable source
that desperate attempt would be made to
rescue Wright at some favorable time dur
ing the trial The informant stated that
small steam yacht capable Of carrying ten
or twelve persons had been fitted out at
Aral and would be used to assist the pris-
oner in an attempt to escape, and advised
the sheriff to keep Wright in chains and to
double guard him at once. Necessary pre-
cautions have been taken, but nothing
further of suspicious character has been
disclosed

but that she had more especially given him
trouble by her slovenliness. He begged that
his body should not be buried near hers.

Back at the Old Stand.

LANSING, Mich, April 12.-Nedard
Metevier, sheriff of Mackinac county, was
last summer removed by the governor for
misconduct in office. Metevier carried the
case to the supreme court, and that body de-
cided that the charges which formed the
basis for the removal were not distinct on |
specific, as is required by the statutes and
constitution, and directed that he should be
given possession of the office again. Mete-
vier will therefore resume business at the
old stand as sheriff of Mackinac county.

The Russian Influenza Epidemic Spreading
Hospitals Crowded and the Disease
Taking Fatal Turn.
PARIS, Dec. 26-1n consequence of
the spread of the influenza epidemic
the hospitals are crowded and the au-
thorities have been compelled to make
extraordinary provision for new pa
tients. This has been done by the
erection of temporary pavilion on the
grounds of the hospital Beaujon.
In the school of the daughters of
members of the legion of honor at st.
Denis one-third of the pupils are i'll and
the school has therefore been closed.
DIR. German See read a paper on the
influenza before the Academy of Medi-
cine of this city. which was discussed
by other distinguished members of the
profession. He thought the academy
should not encourage the opinion that
the epidemic was without gravity. He
said that the patients were very apt to
haS pneumonia OF bronchitis in fatal
form.
DIT. Dujardin Beaumetz disagreed
with DR.. See as to some points in the
mature of the malady, but not as to the
fact that it was not always benign. He
bdkievsd that the epidemic was form
of the dengue-a peculiar erratic cpl.
demic fever allied to the rheumatic af.
fections. He had observed that it pre-
scented two phases: First, a nervous
phase. and next a catarrhal phase,
and that there was sometimes an
eruption-a simple rash. The varieties
in the disease were due to the predomi-
nance in a case of any one of these
facts.
DIR. Rochard suggested that the rash
might perhaps not be a sort of disease.
All concurred in the opinion that the
disease is not harmless and in case of
relapse the consequences are very Sc
irious.
FATAL AT BERLIN.
BERLIN, Dec. 26.-The public health
authorities report a great increase in
the number of cases of influenza and
an aggravation of the disease with an
increase in the death rate. The fatal
effects are produced by complications
of pneumonia and laryngitis. In Mu-
mich the disease is increasing and the
hospitals are full.
The epidemic has appeared at Gala
tae, Bralia and Bucharest.

LISBON, Dec. 26.-Influenza prevails

King is also suffering from an attack
of influenza.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-James J. West,
eX-editor of the Chicago Times, eX-
president of the Times Company and
still claimant in civil suits for a con-
trolling interest in its management,
was convicted last night of the crime
of overissuing the stock of the COM
pany, knowingly, designedly and with
intent to fraud, and sentenced to pay q
line of $1,000 and to be imprisoned
in the penitentiary for the term of
five years. Charles E. Graham,
Vests private secretary and the
secretary of the company, and his
alleged confederate and cO-defendant,
was acquitted. When the clerk of the
court read the jury's verdict West be-
trayed little emotion. The weight of
the crushing blow, however, fell heav-
lily ON Frank j. Smith, the only one of
his counsel present, whose lips quivered
and whose eyes filled with tears. Mr..
Smith took few moments to regain
command of his feelings and then en-
tered a motion for new trial. The
hearing of arguments on the motion
was set for Thursday and Friday,
January 2 and 3, 1890, pending which
time Mr.. West was left at lib ty on

United States Circuit Court Judge
Brewer filed his decision covering the
points in the controversy between the
stockholders, bondholders and other in.
terests of the Missouri, Kansas & Tex
as railway in the several cases now
pending in which this company is o
party. The decision dispOSes of many
minor questions which have been raised
for the purpose of delay, and tends tc
bring the affairs of the road to an early
settlement. The decision is very long
and reviews in detail the work of Re
ceivers Eddy and Cross, whose action
is approved throughout. 1t is notice
able that almost every decision is
against the company. The motion
made by the company to consolidate
the actions wherein the Union Trust
Company, the Mercantile Trust Com.
pany, Russell Sage and George Gould
were compliments was overruled. The
motion to allow So, 900 for counsel fees,
expenses, ETC., was denied, and so on
through the list. These motions were
argued here early this month, and en-.
listed the services of the ablest railroad
attorneys in the United States.
Judge Brewer, with this decision.
sewers his connection with the case in
the capacity of circuit judge, and his
object was to strip it of all dilatory
motions and place it in shape for an
early trial on its merits.
A special report was also filed by the
special master in chancery in the case
of the Mercantile Trust Company
against the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
to hear testimony and report his find
ings in The intervening petition of

which the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
gets an entrance to Kansas City. He
Endorses the report of special COM
mittee consisting of the general solicitor,
the traffic manager and the superin-
tendent of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas regarding the basis upon which
the receivers shall make their annual
report. A mileage basis is ordered.

GREENsBURa, Pa. Dec. 25.-Frank
Baer, the son of William Baer, a
wealthy, retired miller Of this city,
was yesterday sentenced to fourteen
years and four months in the Western

gave him six years and two months for
burning Brinker s. Rumbaugh's mill in
this city, and eight years and two
months for destroying the Chambers
Touring mill at Latrobee. sew
eral miles from here. William
Richardson, of Pittsburgh, an accom-
plice, was given eight years and two
months. Two youths named Francis
and HetZel, for completely in the
crimes, remain to be sentenced. The
mills in question were burned more
than a year ago, involving loss Of
over $50, 600 and financially running the
owners, who did not have their proper
ties insured. Some time before the elder
Baer had retired and turnedthe milling
business over to his son. The latter
was ambitious to control the en-
tire trade, which had hitherto from
many miles around been divided among
the three plants. The Chambers mill,
which was one of the Oldest west of the
Allegheny mountains, was an especially
troublesome competitor. He there
fore conceived the idea of having them
burned, and sure enough Baer's mill
had such rush Of orders as it had
never known before. Its rollers were
running day and night, and still could
not keep up with the demand. The in
cendiary fires had ceased to be talked
about, when one day Frank Baer was
arrested. Detectives had secured a con-
fession from prisoner in Uniontown
Jail, which disclosed the whole plot.
Baer had deliberately hired men to
burn his rivals mills. promising to pay
them sums ranging up to $500 for the
job. Letters and notes were produced
as proof. Baer for a year past has
been stubbornly fighting the case in
the WeStmoreland County courts. He
has been twice tried, and each time the
evidence was conclusive. His appeal
for another trial was in vain, and yes
terday Judge Hunter pronounced sen.
tence.

The Great Southern Editor ana Oretor
Dies Somewhat Unexpectedly.
ATLANTA. Ca, Dec. 23.-Henry w.
Grady is dead. Death came at $40
o'clock this morning. Its coming had
been feared by those who had watched
the case closely, but nobody expected it
so soon.
The scene at his home du ring the
last hours was most pathetic. 1t was
shortly after eleven o'clock that Mr..
Everett announced that Mr.. Grady
was sinking rapidly and that the end
was near. Then it was that all
the members of the family and rela-
tives gathered about the sick bed
hoping against hope. yet praying that
the bitter cup might be taken from
them. Friends who had at the doc
tors suggestion left the house few
hours previously were hastily sum-
moned. At $40 the sick man drew his
last breath and the great heart was
still.
Mr.. Grady was Atlanta's favorite
citizen-the center of its public and So
cial affairs. Perhaps no other man
holds such peculiar place in the affec-
tions of a community as he held.
The National attention which he at
tracted by his famous speech at the
banquet of the New England Associa-
ton, a few years ago, when, with un-
expected eloquence, he voiced the
Southern wish for National unity OF
spirit and purpose as well as of govern
ment. strengthened his hold upon the
friendship of the neighbOrs who already
knew and esteemed him.
Mr.. Grady was stout, black-haired,
black-eyed man of thirty-nine, and
could appear either fifteen or fifty. He
was of an elastic temperament and be-
lieved in relaxation, worked like a
Trojan and frolicked with the zest of a
boy. When he got through with his
mail in the morning he would come into
the room where Wallace Reed, Joel
Chandler Harris and the other members
of the editorial force of the Constitution
were engaged and break up their work
Cor fifteen minutes. Sitting on Mr..
Harris desk he would bring everybody
around him and the audience were re-
called with jokes and running satire
on current events. The entertain
ment wound up with the sudden
ness of a company on double quick
coming to a halt. All at once
Mr.. Grady would put on a serious
face and retire to his room, slamming
the door behind him. With his
stenographer, Jim-an amiable young
man built like shoestring and capable
of an amazing amount Of good work
Mr.. Grady was closeted for an hour OF
so. The amount of work he got
through with in an hour was astonish-
ing. In few minutes he would lay
nut weeks work for his staff.
To his friends Mr.. Grady was an in.
tense partisan and to his enemies a
dangerous man. He worked on big en-
terprises, but could go through details
with amazing rapidity. His personal
acquaintance was cyclop@dic, and
he knew something about every.
body. For a man with an mag.
ination he could digest figures with
wonderful quickness and precision.
Grady's father was a Confederate
officer and was killed in battle when
Henry was fourteen years old.
The illness which caused his death
began with a cold which he caught at
the Plymouth Rock celebration in
Boston a few days ago.

CONNELLSvILLE, Pa, Dec. pa
very distressing sight was witnessed
here last evening. A family of eight
persons, consisting of father and moth
er and six children, were discovered in
starving condition near Meyer, and
were brought here to be sent to the
county home. All of the family were
in a dying condition. The gaunt faces
OF the elder people and the hollow
cheeks and hungry looks of the little
ones elected much sympathy from
the spectators, but little money or as
sistance. The father and mother had
been taken ill from fever, and, as they
lived in an isolated place. the children
could procure no aid. Their condition
was accidentally discovered by a farmer
who CHANGED to visit the house. The
family's condition has reached such a
stage that it is thought none can re-
cover.
