PARRISH AND THE CoNsIDlNs GANG.
Discovered Giving Them Away He Has
to Flee for His Life,


to Flee for His Life.
DETROIT, Sept 9.-The police state that
Frank Parrish, who is on his way here
from ST. Louis to testify in the Perrin
abduction case, is perfectly willing to tes-
Uify, but for fear of being murdered he
did not dare to remain in Detroit after it
became known to the Considines that he
would appear against them. The discov-
cry by the Considipes that Parrish was
spying upon them came about in a singu-
lar manner. One night, over a game of
cards, it was claimed that Parrish had
cheated, and the gang held him up and
searched him.
Found That He Was an Informer.
A document was found in parrish's
pocket which proved to be an agreement
between Perrien and Parrish that the lat
ter was to receive certain amount of
money if he could produce the evidence in
some matters about the abduction Par
rish was almost killed by the gang that
night, but escaped with his life When
Perrien offered a reward for evidence
against his abductors, Parrish gave him
the names of the Considines, Kennedy,
Ed Kent, and Frank Griffith as the alb
d1ctors, and had barely commenced to
get at the minor details of the abduction
when be was discovered by the gang.
The Witness Tells His story.
LATER.-Frank E Parrish arrived here
from St Louis yesterday to testify in the
ferrien abduction case. He was put on
tie stand and said that he overheard a
conversation in Considines saloon int
eating that the Cousidines had gre
deal to do with the abduction, and be
specified what he heard.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

Fassett the Probable Nominee for the
GOvernOrship.
ROCHESTER, y. Y, Sept. 9.-The dele
gates to the Republican state convention
were gathering here all day yesterday,
last night and this morning, and a warm
canvass has been going on ever since by
the friends of the different candidates for
governor - Fassett, White, Wadsworth
aud Becker (of Buffalo,. The Fassett
men had everything their own way early
in the day, and it looked like nomination
by reclamation. But the boom had set
back as evening came on. 1t had been
matter of speculation all day whether the
name of any other candidate would be
presented to the con vention. A general
belief prevailed early that Mr.. Whites
name would not be put before the con-
vention, but his friends insisted that it
would, and that test of his strength
would be made, if only out of compliment
to him.
None of Them VIII withdraw.
Then WadswOrth's friends announced
that he was in the fight to stay. and so did
Becker's. This knocked into 'pi" all idea
of unanimous nomination, but such
prominent men as ex-senator Plat, eX-
State Senator Gibbs and others said posi-
lively that Fassett was the coming man.
There was an anti-Fassett air about the
delegates during the early evening, and
many were saying that there would be
dark horse, but that did not trouble the
friends of Fassett, who still insisted that
he would be nominated. 1t became gen
orally known late at night that White
would withdraw

A LIVELY tithe riot is reported from
Cardigan, Wales. An auctioneer, under
the protection of the chief constable,
was engaged in selling farm produce
for unpaid tithes, when a crowd of peo-
pie assembled, determined to put an
end to the sale. They were armed with
eggs of veteran vintage, and with
these they began bombarding the auc-
tioneer and chief constable. These
parties were soon plastered with the
odorous stuff, but tried to drive away
the crowd by threats of prosecution.
This enraged the people more, and they
set fire to the furze and seized the auc-
tioneer and tried to duck him in an ad-
joining pond He pleaded and promised
to give up the sale if they would let
him go, which they did

A Narrow Escape.

MILAN, April 80. = Particulars have
Just been received of a thrilling acci-
dent, which happened at Idlewild, five
miles north of here, few days ago.
T. II. Godard farmer of that section,
lives very near the Illinois Central Rail
road Two of the younger children
were playing on the railroad track, a
few yards from the house. Their
mother happened to go to the door, and
heard train approaching. Screaming,
she rushed out to rescue the children.
Just as she reached the track, and be-
fore the train was yet in sight, she was
overcome by fright and sank down
senseless, her head falling on the rail.
At this critical period the train rushed
around the curve and was swiftly bear
ing down on the woman, when she re-
vived enough to raise her head from the
rail.
In the meantime, her eldest daughter,
seeing the predicament which the
mother was in, rushed to her rescue and
was struck by the engine. In some
manner her arm became twisted in the
pilot of the engine, sustaining her body.
She was carried over 100 yards before
the train could be stopped: The two
children escaped unhurt. The mothers
nervous system received such shock
that she is seriously indisposed, while
the daughters arm was terribly strained
and bruised.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
Weather and Crops.

NASHVILLE, May 3.-Following is the
Tennessee weather-crop bulletin for the
week ending Saturday, May 3, issued by
the Meteorological Department of the
State Board of Health, cooperating
with the United States Signal service.
The temperature during the week
was rather below the normal for the
season, especially in the western diy&-
sion: while the days were warm, the
nights were quite cool. The percentage
of sunshine was much above the nor
NAL No rain is reported.
The favorable. weather of the past
week was very beneficial in enabling
farmers to push forward the work OF
planting. The bulk of the corn crop is
now planted. and former paintings are
reported coming up and growing well.
The area of this crop will be increased.
A considerable area of land remains I'M
broken, and under the influence of sun
and wind Las become hard and difficult
to break we'll, and rain is needed to put
it in good condition. The wheat pros
poets continue fine everywhere. Some
fields a;e beginning to head. In the
northern portion of the middle division
there are some complaints of rust. Oats
are reported growing we'll, especially
winter sowing. The latter paintings are
beginning to need rain. Rye and other
small grain crops are looking fine.
Cotton planting progressed we'll dur
ing the week; in the western division
the earlier paintings are up and making
satisfactory growth, but the cool nights
of the past week checked it to some ex-
tent, as we'll as young corn. The area
in cotton will not be as large this year
as last. Irish potatoes are reported
making good growth, and tho stands are
generally good. Colorado beetles have
already appeared in some localities. In
the peanut district preparations are in
progress for planting the crop, the area
of which will bs reduced. Fruit pros
poets are still reported good, and with
no disaster the supply will be bountiful.
In the western division considerable
quantities of strawberries are being
shipped daily; the crop is good. Glover
and the grasses are reported doing finely;
pasturage is excellent, and live stock is
in fine condition. In the western
division buffalo gnats have been very
troublesome. In the middle division
spring lambs are ready for shipment.
Except the need of rain for the proper
growth of young crops, the outlook is
still very encouraging.

THERE IS considerable excitement in
the ChicKasaw nation, occasioned by
the news that the Indian commits
sioner has ordered the removal of
intruders from the nation. There
are six thousand of these people,
most of whom have crops planted and
should they be put out now the season is
too far advanced to enable them to raise
crops elsewhere this year, and as they
are all poor people great deprivation
and suffering must follow their eject
ment from that country. But the In
dian government is determined that
they shall 60, and now that the United
States government has decided like
wise, there seems to be no hope that
they will be allowed to remain there to
enjoy the fruits of this seasons labor.

An italian Deputy Causes an Uproar in the
Chamber at Rome.
ROME, April 3O.-Signor Imbriani, in
the chamber of deputies, speaking on
the African question, charged the
Italian government with permitting the
slave trade to be carried on openly.
He also asserted that thirty-fve young
girls, who had been taken from their
former owners under the pretext of
rescuing them from slavery, had been
distributed among a number of Italian
officers serving with the Italian army
in Africa.
Marquis di Rudini replying for the
government, protested against such
accusations being made without abso-
lutte proof of their truth having first
been obtained.
Amidst cries of 'It's lie!' with
drawr' the minister of war declared
that he would not remain in the house
unless the charge was withdrawn.
A prolonged uproar, during which
several violent scenes were witnessed,
followed the announcement of this de-
termination. The president of the
chamber was utterly unable to control
the excited deputies and conseque ntly
was compelled to suspend the sitting.

THE aged widow of Jouvin, the great
glovemazer, died at Grenoble, France,
a few days ago. That famous manu-
facturer has been honored by his fellow
townsmen with a statue. Jouvin's
most important achievement was the
invention of a machine for cutting out
leather gloves, and caused quite a revo-
luton in glove manufacture by intro
ducing the thumb with only one seam.
At present thousands of men and
women are employed by the Maison
Jouvin, and when the founder of the
firm died he was possessed of several
millions and the fame of his gloves had

Sudden Disappearance of the Noted Grain
Operat0r-Speculatio as 30 the Cause.
CHICAGO, April Bob. p. Hutchinson,
the multi-millionaire grain dealer,
known nearly the world over as ''Old
Hutch, +" is mysteriously missing. 1t is
supposed that he is demented and his
business financial wreck.
Mr.. Hutchinson, whose tall, erect fig
ure has for years been one of the most
picturesque sights on the Chicago board
of trade, left the city about midnight.
taking with him a small satchel
and a ticket TO Pensacola, Fla
None of his friends or relatives appear
to know that he was going. The vet
eran opera tor, however, never was
much of a man for confidents. How he
occupied his last hours in Chicago has
not been discovered, except that he paid
lengthy visits TO two Of his favorite
drinking resorts, and at each place told
the bartender inside not to expect to
see him again.
1t has been a matter of common
rumor on the board that business mis-
fortunes had unbalanced "Old Hutch's"
mind. His always eccentric conduct
seemed increasingly erratic. For weeks
at time his abode. day and night, has
been his little office adjoining the ex-
change. When, some time ago, it is
said, his sons, in view of their fathers
reported heavy losses following reck-
less trades, began to consider the
appointment of conservator to take
charge of his affairs, the old man was
furiously angry. More than ever he
isolated himself, and on the board ap-
peared to speculate for revenge rather
than gain The dislike which he was
said to entertain for certain members
of the board seemed to settle into sys-
tematic hatred.
No one but sold Hutch'' himself
knew, or for that matter yet knows,
the exact condition of his finances. 1t
was practically certain, according to
all indications, that he had lost of late
heavily and steadily.
Yesterday morning when the news
of his queer departure became noised
about almost the first question was
show much did he leave?" 1t was
answered by the announcement of his
relatives that the missing mans out
standing trades of 5000, 600 bushels
could be settled up without loss to any
one. Whether any portion of the spec
ulator's fortune remained they did not
say. a ue
For the time the announcement
caused the widest excitement on the
floor, and the market sharply declined.
1t is stated that -''Old Hutch" was in
solvent and that his liabilities would
be SIS, 900, 600 in excess of his assets. On
the other hand, w. !. Hutchinson while
saying: ~ think fathers mind is un-
balanced and that he has wandered
away" added: 81 do not believe he is
insolvent. When we can find how his
affairs stand am confident verything
will be paid in full, dollar for dollar"
