ST. ALBANs, VT, Aug. 29.-General
William Wells, ex-Collector of Gus toms
for the district of Vermont, was shown the
dispatch in last nights New York Mail and
Express stating that he had been offered
the position of Secretary of War by the
President to succeed Secretary Proctor.
General Wells smiled and said he had re-
ceived no intimation of his selection for the
place, and that this report was the first he
had heard connecting his name with the war
portfolio
Senator Edmunds was also asked if there
was any truth in the report, and answered
that so far as he knew there was nothing in
it. He further said the condition of Gen
eral Wells health would preclude his ac-
cepting the Office if it was offered him.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LIMA, Aug. 29.-James Roberts, the
Columbus Grove bank robber and murderer,
now in Jail at Ottawa, is playing the insan-
ity dodge. He has acted queerly the last
few days and refuses to eat. The matter
went so far that several physicians were
called in, but pronounced the man sane and
shamming. He took the butter that was
given him at dinner to-day and creased his
boots with it.
Cashier Maple visited him again to-day
and said finally that he could not be mis-
taken, and that Roberts was the man who
shot him. The ''second Jesse James" is
completely crushed.
