A Girl Bound by Burglars.

MARSHAL, Mo-, Oct. 12.-Burglars en-
tered the residence of Thomas Laugan, nine
miles west of this city, yesterday, while the
family were all at church except daughter,
Laura, aged 20 years. They knocked the
young woman down after terrible struggle
and bound her with straps. The robbers
then rsnsacked the house, taking
everything they could lay hands on. Mrs.
Langan, who was the first to come from
church, found her daughter in the dining
about the body. Her condition is preca-
rious. A large armed posse is searching
for the robbers, and they wall probably be
lynehed if captured.

China Grants an Audience TO Foreign MINI
listers to Avoid Compulsiou.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-Dispstches received
here from Hongkong announce that the
publication of the memorials of the Chinese
Minister to London, addressed to the throne
of China, throws light upon the recent i'm
perial audience granted to the Ministers of
the powers.
1t was at first supposed that the granting
of this audience was a spontaneous act of
courtesy on the part of the, Emperor, but
the memorials referred to show that it was
only accorded after the Chinese Minister at
London had strenuously urged this step in
order to avoid an anticipated combined de-
mand fer an audience, which was to have
been made by representatives of the Euro
pean powers.

their tracks. The wanderers have no fuel
and the cold is intense.
Incendiarism and pillaging are spreading.
The destitute Hebrews expelled from Kief,
Astrachan, Moscow and Odessa are swelling

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
New York, Oct. 1.-THE Post says this
evening that Tammany's blackmailing
machinery has been put to work to help out
the Democratic State canvass as is indicated
by the intelligence disclosed this morning
that on Sunday two subscriptions Of $4,000
each were made to the campaign fund by
the proprietors of two of the most notorious
gambling houses in the city. Patrick Gal
lagher was one of the subscribers, and John
DAILY the other. Gallagher's place of busi-
ness is at No 8 Barclay street.
1t is said of the place that 1t has not been
closed at any time in the 16 years that it
was opened. Since the attack of virtue
that induced the police to close the gam
bling houses, which, by the way, was coin
cident with the arrival of the Fassett inves-
tigating committee in this city, Gallagher's
place has been open for business as usual.
Although the police have several times
raided and closed the pool room in the
basement of the building the faro and
roulette rooms overhead have never been
disturbed.
A VALUABLE MAN FOR TAMMANY,
Gallagher has always been liberal sub,
serloer to Ismmanys campaign t9nds, anu
II Is SAID OF MIN that the lmmunaty IL dpom
prosecution ne enjoys Is worth sz2,oOo
year to the wigwam organization. Person
ally Gallagher is an illiterate fellow ne
can scarcely read and cannot write. In
that respect he is typical of the lower order
OF Iammanys following. m
John Daly's gambling ranch IS at NO: %
West Twenty-ninth street Like Gala
gher's place, 1t is a prosperous institution
and has not been closed up, as have the
other gambling institutions in that neigh
borhood and on Sixth avenue and East
Fourteenth street. Moreover, little at.
tempt is made to conceal the character OF
the house. 1t bears the marks that are so
easily distinguishable to the man about
town. At night it is brilliantly lighted,
and the consumption of gas seldom ceases
before sunrise.
Of DAILY it is also said that his annual
subscription to Tammany Hall amounts to
$25 600, and sometimes more He Is o far
more intelligent man than Gallagher He
is one of John j. Scannell's particular
friends.

Portland Art Society.

The exhibition of local pictures by the
Portland Camera Club for the entertain
ment of the Society of Art at Baxter hall,
Wednesday evening at o'clock, will be
most interesting, and it suggests the idea
that this would be happy and effective way
to present to the outside world the advant-
ages of Portland as place of business and
residence.
Other cities in the East with nowhere ap.
preaching the same facilities are literally
advertising their advantages; Portland's OPP
portunities for transportation by water or
rail are Unsurpassed, while most of the other
places have railway facilities only. and as a
city in which to live few places can present
anything like the attractions in the way of
health and surroundings afforded by the
Forest City. 1t is to be hoped that the Cam
"a Club will be induced to give another ex-
hibition of these views for the
benefit of the public, in order that citizens
generally may derive therefrom a broader
and more comprehensive idea of the beau.
ties and advantages connected with the city
In which they reside. These views embrace
historic buildings, scenes in the vicinity and
at the islands. Exhibitions of these views
in other parts of the country would undoubt-
eddy prove one of the best methods in which
to advertise the city. and 1t is pleasant to
know that the camera clubs of the various
large cities are arranging to exchange views
with each other. An exhibition of the Port
land views would undoubtedly prove q
stronger appeal than quantities Of circulars.
1t seems likely that the Camera Club will be
the means Of developing one of the most eff
fective modes of advertising the Forest City
vet devised.

original company of jubilee singers, who
raised In seven years in this country and Eu-
rope $4,000 as an endowment fund, and

Some twenty-five or thirty vessels are fit

may have been herring, which are known to
be schooling in several places near the coast.
