Abduction of Wealthy Citizen of jean
nette, Pa--Discovered Half Fam ished in
Robbers Den.
JEANETTE, Pa, July 3O.-Joel
Moore, wealthy citizen, who mysteri-
ously disappeared recently, was found
last night in an old cave half famished
and almost dead from exposure. He
had been taken to the cave by Joseph
and Madison Johnstown, two desperate
characters, and robbed.
The cave was unknown to the citi-
zens, who are wrought up to an extra
ordinary pitch of excitement
During the past six months four or
five people of Jeanette have mysteri-
ously disappeared and nothing has
since been heard of them. A searching
party has been formed and, accompa-
MED by officers, the cave will be thor
oughly searched.
The Johnstown brothers were arrest
ed. They were powerfully built and
tried to make a fight when arrested,
but were cowed by superior numbers
and weapons of the officers

ROW IN CAMP.

The Rupture Which Led to the Resignation
of Quay and Dudley-The Scheming Of
The Bosses.
A Washington special says: The
event of the meeting of the Repub-
lican National executive committee
which resulted in the withdrawal of
Quay and Dudley from the positions of
chairman and treasurer of the commit
tee uncovers the hostility of the two to
President Harrison's denomination,
which hitherto had been kept skillfully
concealed and was known only to a
privileged few.
AS Mr.. Clarkson is placed at the head
of the committee as a new man it is
claimed that it is independent of any
obligation to the administration and is
left to manage affairs in accordance
with the plans of Messrs. Quay and
Dudley, with whom he is undoubtedly
in sympathy.
The appointment of Mr. Fassett as
collector of the port of New York to
succeed Mr.. Erhardt is understood to
be a move on the part Of the president
to checkmate the schemes of Quay,
Dudley and Clarkson. According to
the story. it gives full recognition to
the Platt faction and places the patron
age in Mr.. Platt's hands to be used in
behalf of securing Harrison delega-
ton from New York to the national
convention, and, if possible, electing a
republican legislature this fall
The paramount, question. however,
is mooted as to whether Mr.. Plat will
keep faith with the administration. He
has hitherto been under the ban and
the prophecy is made that in the end
he will pay back the administration in
its own coin.

THE ELLIOTT CASE.

The Jury Finally Decides Upon a Verdict OF
Murder i'm the Second Degree.
COLUMBUS, O., July 29.-William j.
Elliott the former proprietor and edit
or of the Sunday Capital. who. with his
brother p. J. Elliott, killed Albert j.
Osborne, a reporter of the Sunday
World, and w. L. Hughes, a bystander,
besides wounding a number of people
during a shooting affray on High street
in this city, on the afternoon of Febru-
airy % last, was convicted yesterday
of murder in the second degree
The trial has been in progress since
May IL
The crime was the direct result Of
personal Journalism
AS the verdict of the jury was read
Elliott became so enraged that he
pulled the G. A. R button FROM the
lapel of his coat and threw it spitefully
in the direction of the jury. The en-
blem went bounding from place to
place and finally rested on the raised
desk under Juror Aubert's chair.

FARM AND HOME DEBTS.

The Amount Over Two b illion and q
Half.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The count of
the farm and home transcripts made in
accordance with the mortgage collec-
ton clause of the census act has been
completed by the census office. The
figures are subject to slight modifca-
ton.
There were returned by the enumer-
ators 2, 491, $50 farms and homes occu-
pied by owners which are incum bered
by mortgages. This number includes
some farms and homes about which the
enumerators made no report and about
which belong partly to the class of
hired and partly to the class of owned
free as we'll as partly to the class of
owned and incum bered. Until this un-
known quantity, due to the failure of
the enumerators, is eliminated it may
be regarded as approximately true that
9, $50, 600 families OF the II, 500, 900 fam
lilies of the United States occupy and
own incumbe homes, and that TO-
ESQ, 600 families occupy farms and homes
that are either hired or owned free.
The proportion of hired and owned
free homes and farms will be known
when the population division completes
the count of the returns pertaining to
them.
The preliminary results indicate that
the average debt for a farm in Iowa is
81, 2S3; homes, $719; average for farm
and home, 81, 14O. If these averages
hold good for the union the incum-
brance on the farms and homes of the
United States occupied by the owners,
is about s., $50, 900, OOO The success of
this investigation, Superintendent Por-
ter says, has been far beyond the an
ticipations of the most experienced sta
tisticiaus and the result will be of inn
mense interest and value to the nation.
The first volume relating to recorded
Indebtedness will probably go to press
this year.
Incomplete returns from western
states indicate that farms and homes
are mortgaged for about one-third the
value put upon them by the owners

ClarksOn & Co. Said to He Sct,emiUg to De-
feat the Aspirations of Harrison For a
Second Term.
In connection with the break in the
national republican committee the
Omaha Bee of July 81 contains the fol-
lowing:
Zone of the strongest republican pol
iticians of Iowa was at the Grand Pa
cifc last night and to an intimate
friend disclosed a story which will
prove as big a political sensation as the
west has evolved in many a day. He
gave it out pat that j. S. Clarkson, the
man whom the associated press de-
lights to interview, is scheming early
and late to defeat President Harrison
for denomination. Clarkson's first
step was to get Hon. John NJ Thurston,
the Omaha attorney of the Union Pa
cifc, to resign the presidency of the
Republican National league just for the
sake of the prominence it would give
Clarkson. The latter, in conjunction
with score of sorehead bosses, in
Guiding Thurston, of Nebraska, and
Dudley, of Indiana, is now moving
heaven and earth to get the chairman
ship of the national committee. This
once accomplished the pins will be fair
ly we'll set to bring about the defeat of
President Harrison in case the latter
decides to stand for denomination
Clarkson will endeavor to control the
Iowa delegation to the national con-
vention SO that he may vote it at will
and his efforts in this particular will
meet, and are already meeting, with bit
ter opposition among the stanch friends
of Mr.. Harrison in Iowa Thurston, it
is said, will endeavor to manipulate the
Nebraska delegation in the same inter-
est, and Dudley is expected to take care
of Indiana Alger's friends, it is
claimed, will see to it that the Michi-
gan delegation is put up to subserve
the same interest
THE whole scheme is said to be the
result of revenge on the part of Thurs
ton. Clarkson and Dudley, who failed
to get out of the administration what
they considered their due. They will
throw their strength to Alger in case
there is any possibility of making him
the selection.
"Clarkson, as chairman of the Repub-
ican National committee, bids fair to
precipitate a war in the republican
ranks in Iowa as well as in many other
states. There is intense disgust in
Iowa at the tactics Of Clarkson and
there will be open revolt at any at
tempt to. manipulate the Iowa delega-
ton to the national convention
THE election of Clarkson as presi-
dent Of the National League of Repnb-
lican clubs was the first step of syndi-
cate of party bosses to manipulate the
republican convention"

cHILl's NEW PRESIDENT.

A Successor to Balmaceda Chosen, But IL
Affords But Little Consolation For the
Insurgents. ESs
NEW YORK. July 30.-The Herald
prints the following dispatch from
Valparaiso: The electoral college of
the Gillian government representing
all the provinces under the control of
Balmaceda assembled July 25 and
unanimously elected Claudio Vicuna
president of the republic. This is
simply a confirmation of the popular
vote of June q, when Vicuna was
chosen the new chief magistrate of the
country.
Vicuna is Ba1maceda's own choice as
his successor. He will carry on what
ever policy Balmaceda should wish. SO
that there is very little consolation for
the insurgents. He will take office on
September Is next The term of Office
is five years and the salary $4,000
year. He will have the naming of five
ministers and five of eleven members
of the council of state.
A letter from an American travelling
man in Chilli speaks disparagingly of
the congressionalists as follows:
1.-The opposition is dependent entirely
upon Bolivia and the United States for
provisions. The Balmaceda govern
ment has nearly succeeded in controll-
ing all the southern ports, but loads of
flour and hay come from San Fran
cisco. We ought not to foster this OPP
position party. They represent ele-
ments totally antagonistic to our
notions of a republic. They are the
opponents of plutocracy, of British
capital and French customs: they are
the enemies of commercial relations
with us; they oppose social popular
progress, education among the masses.
popular representation and freedom in
religious matters"
vICUNA'S ELECTION ILLEGAL
PARIS, July 3O.-The Gillian con-
gressional party has issued a statement
that the election of Vicuna as president
was null and void because as president
of the cabinet he organized a coup

constitution; because the constitution
was not carried out in conformity with
the law relating to elections; because
only part of the country voted, and be-
