MR MILLS In his Mansfield speech
put the silver question in its proper
place. Mr.. MILLS is well ',nown to be
strong free silver man, but Mr.. MILLS
in the present campaign puts that
Quess.ou 70 one side. He says; 1t can
do no good to increase the volume Of
money as long as the law remains IN
changed which draws the greater part
Of the money into the hands Of a rich
few. And Mr.. Mills is unQuestiOna-
bly, right. Let us do one thing at a
time and not allow the vital issue to be
obscured by the discussion Of a Ques-
tion on which both parties are equally
divided.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.-George F. Me
man. a shoemaker at No. 166 Everett
street, was shot and instantly killed to-
day by his son, Charles F. Nieman, aged
twenty years, at their home, Is German
street. The shooting resulted from a
family quarrel which has been in pro-
gress for several years. About ten
years ago Mrs. Nieman procured di-
vorce from her husband for cruelty,
but he was allowed to retain a room in
the house, which belongs to the wife.
The quarreling among the mem bers
Of the family and the old man
has been frequent, owing to his
violent temper. To-day he began to
abuse his wife and two daughters, Anna
and Emma. The son was asleep up
stairs. and, hearing the noise, came out
and saw his father with pair of tongs
in his hand, upraised as if to strike his
mother, who is a cripple. He rushed
back and got revolver. Just then the
Old man made motion as if to strike
his mother, when he leVeled his revolver
at his father and fired, the bullet pass
ing through his right lung and heart,
causing death instantaneoUsly. The
young man surrendered himself to the
police and was locked up at the Oliver

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Startling informa-
ton is in possession of the Chilian le-
CATION III reference to a conspiracy to
destroy the two Chilian ironclads, Pres
idente Pinto and ErraZuriz. One thou
sand pounds was offered to an English
maritime officer in the service of the
Chilian government if he would under
take to blow up the ErraZuriZ. He re-
fused the offer with Indignation. While
the vessel was in the harbOr of Lisbon,
suspicious boats were seen approaching
on several occasions at night, but the
careful lookout on the vessel kept
them at bay. There was no doubt
of the purpose to explode the
vessel at Lisbon. While the Presidente
Pinto was at Toulon, party of men at
tempted to JOIN the crew. They looked
so unlike ordinary sailors, two of them
being unable to conceal their refinement
of manner, that suspicion was aroused,
and the commander concluded to reject
them. although in need of men. Proof
afterward came to his knowledge that
these men had been engaged to sink the
ship. There is also reason to believe
that the running aground at TOulOn was
owing to treachery. The commander
was so convinced of this that he sent
report to that effect to Paris. The En-
razuriz is already safe at sea, and it is
understood that the Pinto will soon be in
position to follow, and that their arrival
in Chill will put an end to the reYolu
ton,

THE BUCKEYE BANK RoBBER.
He Is Still at Large-His Victim
Dead

COLUMBUS GROVE, o., Aug. 9.-Early
this morning the men in pursuit of the
fugitive bank robber and now murderer
were awake and resumed the chase of
the criminal. William Vandemark, the
farmer shot yesterday, died at o'clock
this morning, and by his death new zest
Was given to the man-hunters and
stronger determination that ne should
be taken, dead or alive. Word was re-
cetYed by telegram that he had been
traced to a small area near Beaver Dam,
a small village eleven miles south of
this place, and to that point every
body that could get vehicle went. At
11o'clock joint meeting was held be-
tween the president of the board of
county commissioners of Putnam
county, the mayor and council of this
village and the president of the EX-
change bank. and reward was agreed
upon and is offered, as follows: The
county offers $500, municipality $3.50
and the bank 5000. Besides this, a sub
scriptiOn paper has been started among
the people, which. in connection with
the official amount offered, aggregates
considerably above $1,000. 1t is now
said that the desperate is beyond reach,
and it is questionable If he is ever
caught at all. After the chase was
given up last night the man stopped
with some labOrers building pipe line
about two miles east of Beaver Dam
and at the crossing of the Lake Erie
railroad at point one mile
west of Bluffton. He went into
a pasture and stole a black mare
at l o'clock this morning, four
miles east of BlufftOn. He followed
farmer and his family home, who had
been attending a show, and with his
ready revolver compelled them to get
him meal. The stolen horse was tied
to the branches of a tree by rope
halter during his stay at this place, and
an attempt was made to buy buggy
and harness or even a bride from the
farmer, but the attempt was in vain. 1t
is highly probable that the hunted man
has ridden his horse into Findlay,
jumped train and is by this time Tar
away. 1t was almost noon to-day be-
fore the theft of the horse was discov-
cred, and much later when the direc-
ton taken was learned. Hundreds of
men were in the chase to-day where
there were ten yesterday, and the time
was all spent beating about the bushes,
from which the bird had flown.

GRAND BUT AWFUL.
The Great Earthquake on the Gulf
of California.

YUMA, A. T., Aug. 9.-Reports con-
tinue to come in from the earthquake
region at the head of the Gulf of Cali
fornia. The CocoDah Indians of the
tribe that live near there arrived here
yesterday. They tell a thrilling story.
Early Thursday morning hundreds of
mud volcanoes. thirty miles off, burst
into violent eruption. The air grew
denser, and many infants were suffo-
Gated. At last a violent thunder storm
cleared the air, only to show the tidal
wave approaching with frightful rap
idity. The waters rose. swallowing up
their cattle, horses and grain fields and
driving them, for their lives, to the top
of the Mesas, a hundred feet high above
the river. The earthquake shocks then
began. The fourth threw everyone
down, seriously iniuring many.
The dust darkened the air.
The rumble of the earthquake, the
sharp explosions of the distant volcano,
the believing of the craZed cattle made
unbearable the uproar, and the fright
ened Indians broke and fed wildly up
the river. The others dropped eX-
hausted along the route. Two only
succeeded in reaching Eere. who tell
the story. Joseph PereZe, a cattleman
from Lendo, and five men witnessed the
scene from the top of the hill to which
they had escaped. They report the
tidal wave as fully 100 feet high and
also the river of blush purple fire
which was flowing down into the Col
orado, near the gulf. This is undOubt-
edly from the sulphur mountain, which
was set on fire by the volume of burn
ing material thrown out by the vol
canoes. Much property, was DESTROYED:
buildings on the ranch of Charles
Townsend, breeder of fine cattle, were
leYeled by the earthnuake.

Polluted the Church.

: LONDON, Aug. 9.-The ancient and
unusual ceremony of reconciliation has
been performed in a London church for
the second time within a few months,
though it has not been performed before
for many years. The first case was that
of a man who shot himself during serY-
ices in st. Paul's cathedral. The sec
ond case was three days ago. A poor
tramp, as if in rebuke to the quality of
Christianity which he had met in Lon
don, hung himself in the porch of the
parish church OF st. Ethelbert. Bishops
gate street. When found by the sexton
the tramp was dead. His death being
assumed to have polluted the ediice, the
bishop of London held the quaint recon-
ciliation service, the tramp meanwhile
having been buried with the paupers.

TEN DAYS IN DANGER.
The PeriIOus Passage of the
Steamer Cachemire.

The PeriIOus Passage of the
Steamer Cachemire.
New YORK. Aug. 9.-The steamship
Cachemire arrived IN this port last Fri
day evening with 160 Italian steerage
passengers on board. 1t was learned to-
day for the first time that for ten of the
eighteen days of the Cachemire'S VOy-
age, the vessel and all aboard of her
were all in imminent and continuous
danger of the worst character. When
the steamer was but one day out from
Marseilles it was reported to the captain
that the soft coal in the bunkers was on
fire. He at once gave orders
that the strictest secrecy should
be observed, as, if the news
spread among the passengers, it would
be impossible to avert panic. Imme-
diate steps were taken to quench the
fire, but 1t had already gained serious
headway. The pumps were put to work
and heavy streams of water were poured
upon the piles of coal and upon the deck
above it. This was kept up for day and
night for ten days, and not till the end
of that time was the fire entirely eX-
tinguished. The captain and crew were
on almost continuous duty during that
time, and were completely worn out.
During the whole time none of the pas
sengers had any suspicion of the danger
in which they stood, nor did they learn
of it until port had been reached.

DREw's EXPLANATION.
The Ex-Bank Examiner Trying TO
Save Himself

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.-EX-Bank
Examiner William P. Drew tonight
forwarded TO Secretary of the Treasury
Foster a detailed statement of his work
in connection with the Keystone Ma
tional bank. The statement is in
Yindication of himself. and deals with
the action of Comptroller OF the Cur
rency Lacey in asking for his resIgna-
ton, owing to his omission in his Janu-
airy report of the condition of the Key
stone bank. OF the clearing house loan.
In relation to this omission Mr.. Drew,
in his statement, says it was pure
" an oversight in transcrlbing
and calculated OF itself greatly to mis-
lead. He was not aware of the omis-
sion until June 29, when he received his
papers IN the case, but the clearing
house loan certificates were liabilities
Of an extraordinary nature. and known
to the cOmptrOller's office to have
been issued to the Keystone National
bank in November, 1890, and. TO
have been greatly Increased in amount
In December following by reason OF
run Oh the bank. His January re-
port, Mr.. Drew says, was marked pre-
limindTy." ." intimaIing a fuller and more
trustworthy report was to follow and
which did follow with the omitted item
in full. 1t would have been
fair, the statement says, to the
examiner, that his consecutive reports,
whether preliminary or not, particularly
concerning a bank known to the comp
trOller to be in an unsatisfactory, not
TO say perilOus condition. should be
promptly and fully collated in the
cOmptrOller's Office and all impOr-
tant discrepancies clearly pointed
out at once. The statement further
comments upon the fact that the Omis-
sion was not discovered until five
months had pafsed. and that the unsat-
isfactory condition of the Keystone and
Spring Garden banks was called to the
attention of the comptroller in 1890. In
conclusion Mr.. Drew says he believes
he has demonstrated that the Omis-
sion in the report referred to was
largely supplied by the letter transmit
ting it, when understood. or could have
been logically inferred from other in
formation in the cOmptroller's Office,
and was virtually without practical eff
feet in governing the department in its
action toward the bank in question.

brave show i'll Hyde park to-day. They
went there to protest against long hours
and other grievances. Many women
marched in the procession. The places
of clerks are so easily filled that until
recently they were afraid to form
union for fear of a general discharge,
bnt, learning that they had not only the
sympathy of the pnblic. but also the
good will of manytemployes who were
willing to do better if all employers
were on an equal footing, the union was
formed. The rain had dampenihg
effect, but the speeches were none the
less emphatic as we'll as reasonable.

For Defling Gravestones.

FORT DODGE, TO-, Aug. "a sensa-
sion has been created in the village of
st. Joe by the arrest of Henry SchrOe-
der, a wealthy and prominent mem
ber of the Catholic church. Some
time ago the church had trOu
Bile concerning the removal of its
cemetery. The pastor refused to sane
tion the movement. and the result was
that the fence surrounding the cemetery
was one night torn down and split into
kindling wood. Some of the grave
stones were defled and other acts of
vandalism were pepetrated. Schroeder
was one of the men who was SO warmly
in favor of removal. He was arrested
by Des Moines detective who has
been at work on the case several weeks.
Other arrests will be made.
