Court Stricken with Paralysis.

WASHINGTON, October 10.-Justice Sam
uel f. Miller, Of the United States Supreme
Court, was stricken with paralysis this af-
ternoon and is now in serious condition,
though resting comfortably and retaining
consciousness. Justice Miller was appar-
emily in the best of health. He was return
ing from the Supreme Court room to his res
idence and was on the West side of Thomas
circle, near his home, 14l5 Massachu-
setts avenue, when John WoOdford, his ser
want, standing in the doorway Of the house,
saw him suddenly raise his hand to his heart
reel and fall on to the car track he was cross
ing. WoOdford fastened to the spot and
found the Justice speechless and apparently
In stupor. He at once secured a coupe and
had the sick man carried home. DR.. Cook,
who resides in the neighborhood. and DIR.
Lincoln who, fortunately, was passing at
the time, were soon in attendance at Justice
Miller's bedside. They found the whole left
side of the Justice paralyzed. but he was
still able to recogze those about him.
Ldter-Late in the afternoon Judge Miller
had cerebral hemorrhage, and his condi-
tion is such that DIR. Lincoln says a second
hemOrrhage will result fatally. While he
may live "a hours. the doctors are of the
opinion that tomorrow morning will find
him sinking rapidly.
WASHINGTON, October 11.-At a. m. it
was stated at Justice Miller's house that he
was resting quietly and his family thought
he was little better.

Thirty Thousand Kansas Men Turn
Out in His Homer.

TOPEKA, Kan., October 1O.-The presiden-
tial party made their first stop today at St,
Joseph, Mo-, where a great crowd was as
sembled at the station. The President made
short speech, which was enthusiastically
received. The stop of the presidential train
at Atchison was brief. and the President did
not leave the car. BE was welcomed by
speech by Little Edna Elizabeth Downs, who
presented him with beautiful bouquet of
flowers, containing one flower for each state,
forming the letter "H." The President was
almost buried In flowers showered upon him
by school children. Chief Justice Horton,
OF the Kansas Supreme Court, welcomed
the President to the istate. The President
responded, closing his remarks by introduc-
ing Secretary Tracy. who bowed his ac-
acknowledgements as the train pulled out. At
1880 the train rolled into Topeka amid the
cheers Of ayast erowd. Senator Ingalls, re-
ceived the party at thiS>point The Presi-
dent was escorted to the State House by
Governor Humphrey and staff, and there re-
viewed the immense parade. After lunch
the President received the veterans of his
OLD brigade, state and city officers, aud prom
lnent cltlzens. The party then proceeded to
the fair grounds. The address Of welcome

nor Humphrey. The President responded
at considerable length, thanking the COVER
nor and the citizens of Kansas for the gener-
GUS welcome rendered him. 1t took over
two hours for the President to review the
parade. The procession was headed by five
companies Of United States cavalry, fol-
lowed by the State Guards, Sons Of Veter-
ans and Kansas organizations Of the u. A. r.
Thls was the largest reunion of old soldiers
In Kansas ever seen. 1t Is estimated that

THEY ARE NOW ON THE ROLLING DEEP
II Rumor Speaks Truly of Messrs.
Dillon and O'BrIen.
Tipperary No Longer Shelters Them
and Court Has Adjourned.
Tho Escape OF the TWO Leaders
makes Great Sensation.

TIPPERARY, October 10.-Messrs. Dillon
and 0'Brien have left Ireland and are now
supposed to be en- route for America. They
did not put in an appearance when the court
reassembled this morning, and it is thought
they went to France early last evening.
LONDON, October 10.-A startling report
which reached this city from Tipperary this
morning to the effect that the Irish leaders,
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien. had departed
from the country, is confirmed. There Is
little, II any, doubt that their objective
point Is the United States. 1t is. however,
known that they have avoided the ordinary
routes of travel between the two countries,
and up to the present hour absolutely moth
ing is known Of the manner in which the
two gentlemen succeeded in eluding the
watchfulness of the large police and military
force gathered in and about Tipperary. Bail
in the case of both Mr.. Dillon and Mr.. o.
Brien will at once be estreated. and already
the announcement Is made on behalf OF the
Irish National League Of its intention to re-
coup the sureties.
The escape has excited great admiration
and enthusiasm in the ranks of the Nation
aliSts, both In England and ireland, while
the government is confused by the readiness
with which officers, cautioned TO be espec-
tally on the alert, have been hoodwinked
DUBLIN, October 1O.-The non-appearance
OF Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien at the trial in
Tipperary today aroused considerable COM
ment, which was further increased when a
rumor became current that they had fled to
America.
A great sensation was created later when
a telegram was received from Queenstown
saying that OBrien and Dillon sailed for
New York yesterday.
All the other defendants, who are jointly
charged with conspiracy with Messrs. Dillon
and O'Brien, were present In the court this
morning. Mr.. Roman, prosecutor for the
crown, announced the absence of Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien, and asked the court to
append to their bail bonds the usual certif-
Gates Of non-appearance. Mr.. Healy coun-
sci for defendants submitted the argument
that tbe sureties on the bail bonds had full
filled their obligations when Messrs. O'Brien
and Dillon appeared in court on the first day
of the trial. The crown, he said. had subse-
quently amended certain particulars of the
charges and therefore the bail given for the
defendants no longer held good. An ad-
journment was taken to enable the crown to
consider what steps should be taken. War
rants have been issued for the arrests of
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien.

TSDecial TO the Press

LEWISTON, October 10.-Andrew Thurlow,
farmer living in Gray, came to Auburn to-
day with load of charcoal ana started for
home late in the afternoon. AS Mr.. Thur
low drove out of the city he was hailed by
man who asked for ride, which the good
natured farmer readily consented to give
him. The passenger said that he was going
out into the country in the hope of getting
work. He rode with Mr.. Thurlow for about
two miles and then, when the team was on
lonely piece of road some distance from the
nearest house, turned suddenly and as
saulted Thurlow. The attack was so sud
den that its victim. taken entirely by sur
prise, had no opportunity for resistance. He
was knocked senSeless and lay by the road
side in that condition for some time. When
he finally recovered consciousness, Mr..
Thurlow found that the man who had want
ed work had Disappeared So had $65 in
money. which Mr.. Thurlow had on his per-
son. Besides his loss in purse, Mr.. Thurlow
has number of ugly cuts and bruises on his
head, by which to remember the occasion.
The horse had remained standing in the road
and Thurlow drove back to the city where
he reported his loss to the police, who are
now at work on the case. They have reason
to suspect certain character and promise
an arrest before long.

THE NOBLE RED MAN.
Views of the Mohonk Conference on
His Treatment and Future.

MoHoNK LAKE, N. Y, October 1O.-The
executive committee of the Indian confer
ence, to which all the resolutions were re-
ferred and which drafted the annual resolu.
tions, have through their chairman, DR.. Alb
bott, reported the Mohonk platform for 1890.
1t says the workers in the missionary schools
who have been pioneers in this movement,
have, by the inspiring results of their labor,
pursued with inadequate means and against
great discouragements. demonstrated the ca
pacity of the Indian for civilization. This
growing sentiment has been demonstrated in
many ways including the gradual discontin-
uance of the policy of feeding the Indian,
making him mendicant, and the steady de-
velopment of policy of teaching him, max
ing him citizen, as witnessed in the in-
creased governmental appropriations for In
dian education from $4,000 in 1870 to ST.
100000 in 1890, which reaches fitting culmi-
nation In the admirable plan of the present
Indian commissioners for providing all chill
ucation at governmental expense in schools
under governmental control. The
conference urges Congress to
make such liberal and increasing
appropriations as may be necessary to per-
feet this plau and carry it into full opera
preparation for self support. 1t protests
against the removal of capable officials for
party reasons and emphasizes the necessity
of permanenttenure 1t reaffirms as the
fundamental principle which should control
all friends of the Indians that all
work fol- them, whether by private
benevolence or by the government, should
be done in anticipation of and ia the prepa
ration for the time when the Indian races of
this country will be absorbed into the body
of our citizens and the specific Indian prob
lem be merged in the great problem of build
ing up human brotherhood which the prov
idence of God has laid upon the American
people.

The Increased Price of shoe Lea,n-

Capt. Ii. Ii. Shaw of Shaw, Goding & Co.,
says thu reason why the shoe manufacturers
have voted to raise the price Of shoes is be-

their hides, tanners and finishers losing mon
