A Dangerous Animal at Large.

QUINCY, Ills, Jan. 20.-The farmers in
Hancock and Adams counties we're terrified
nightly by the screams Of some wild beast
about three weeks ago. A few mornings
after the occurrence a COW and her calf we're
found dead with their bodies mangled ter
ribly. Bloody trails led from the barn to
the pen of another farmer, where five goats
were found with their threats cut. Early
the next day a huge animal was seen to
spring out of a barn with a horrid scream
and disappear in the timber nearby. The
body of a fine horse with lis ~eDtrails torn
out was found yesterday in a pasture. The
people are thoroughly alarmed, and many
of them viii not venture from their homes
at night. There can be little doubt that the
animal is either a lion or a panther that es-
capped some time ago from a circus.

In PETERSBURG last Saturday one hun
dred and forty seven coupon cases were de
ciied against the State. Why not accept
the creditors proposition for a conference
to settle the debt, and stop all this foolish
ness and additional expense? The asked
for conference would coat nothing, as the
creditors say they will send their represent
atives to Richmond, where the Legislature
is already in session. Bat the Legislature
should not appoint its own members as Vir.
ginia's representatives at the proposed con.
ference. Tie result of the previous confer
ence on this matter shows that the States
conserrees should be men of affairs, not mem
bers of the legislature.

how he can continue at the head of the State De-

NO TIME FOR BARGAINS.
DEMOCRATS MUST NOT TRADE
WITH THE ENEMY
at Stake-Governor Hill Wants None
But True Democrats on Guard.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 1.-Gover-
nor Hill of New York closed the Demo-
cratic campaign in this state tonight.
In the course OF his speech he said !:
"This is no time for deals or bargains
with the common enemy, when the
very existence OF our party is at stake.
Put no Democrat on guard whose De-
moracy is not above suspicion. Those
who encourage factional contests should
go to the rear in times of public peril
like these, when the integrity of the
republic is assailed. Corruption, colo
nization, intimidation and false enumer-
alton are the tactics employed by the
Republicans to bolster up their waning
power, and crush out the hopes of hon
est Democracy"
The governor spoke of the importance
OF the municipal and county elections,
saying: every local official ex-
ercises an influence. Democratic
cities and counties should have
Democratic officials, and none other.
Their influence will tend to the spread
and perpetuation OF our principles, and
it is folly to shut our eyes to the impor-
tance OF this question. The newly dis
covered doctrine that there should be a
non-partisan administration OF local or
municipal affairs, should not be accepted
unless we are ready to disband our local
political organizations and rely upon the
courtesy of our opponents to secure VIC
tories -

A RACE FOE LIFE.
The Steamer Michigan Reaches Astoria
With Fire In Her Hold.

ASTORIA, Ore, Nov. 1.-The steamer
Michigan arrived this morning, after
wild race for life, lasting seven hours.
When about fifteen miles off Gray's
harbor, fire was discovered in the port
hole: All precautions were i'm
mediately taken; the matches were
beaten down, and every air
hole stopped up, and with
every pound of steam that could be car
ried, and every stitch of canvas to the
breeze, she flew down the coast. In re-
sponse to a distress signal, when she
crossed the bar, the observer at Fort
Candy telegraphed to this city, and the
tug Wallawa started to her assistance,
but fortunately she succeeded in getting
in safely. She is now lying partly on
the mud at the Union Pacific dock,
with fire engines alongside. Soon after
high water an effort will be made to
scuttle her. No attempt has been made
to definitely locate the fire, and it will
be allowed to smolder until she car be
scuttled. The fire is supposed to have
originated in lot of lime in the fore
hold.

Convict.
Thorn and Shinn an Adept Pair
of Rogues.
Numerous California Stage Robberies
Perpetrated By Them.
Their Extensive Operations After Escap-

Confesses All.
Associated Press Dispatches.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 1.-George
Shinn, who with Charles Dorsey, alias
Thorn, escaped from San Quentin three
years ago, and was recently captured in
Chicago by Detective j. B. Hume, has
made confession, which has simply
paralyzed the authorities. Ever since
they escaped Detective Hume has be-
lieved they were in this state, and were
the perpetrators of the numerous stage
robberies going on since then. When
he went to Chicago he obtained evil
dence that convinced him that their
story that they had never been out of
Chicago since their arrival there few
months after their escape, was untrue.
Still the evidence was not sufficient for
use. Last night Shinn was transferred
from San Quentin to Folsom by a special
arrangement made by Warden Aull and
Hume, and this afternoon the warden
and the detective interviewed him for
three and half hours. Shinn confessed
that they returned to California early in
1880, and camped on the Ameri-
can river, three miles outside of
this city. This was their rendez-
vous, to which they always returned
after their raids. He admitted that on
the 31st of July, 1889, they stopped the
stage from Milton to Sonora and robbed
the passengers of $50. They blew open
the Wells-Fargo strong box with giant
powder, but found it empty. On the
10th of September the same year, they
stopped the stage between Quincy and
Oroville and took gold bar worth $500
from Wells-Fargo's box. In April, this
year, they held up the Forest Hill stage,
in Placer county, and robbed the pas
sengers. Besides these, Shinn con-
fesses to burglaries, garrotings and
robberies committed by himself
and Dorsey which would fill a
book. They returned to Chicago, May
30th, this year, and he says, between
that time and the date of their capture,
they committed something like twenty
five robberies and burglaries in the state
Of Illinois. Their rendezvous has been
