Col. Mccormick Gets a Pointer.

It is an undisputed fact that when a man
attains power and eminence through politics
his friends try to give him more or less ad-
vice. Such, however, was the case the other
day. Colonel Mccormick, through his friend
Judson, discovered that it Was the height of
folly to buy new suit of clothes every time
his old ones became a little worn. and that
the proper caper would be to take them to

An Incendiary Gang Caught.

Sr. PAUL, Dec. 1.-One OF the most
a;abolical conspiracies ever ~oncocte
was brought to a focus tonight and cul-
minated in the arrest OF a gang of IN
cendiaries who for over a year have made
a regular business of setting fire TO
houses and stores in various parts of the
city for the purpose of securing Il por-
ten OF the insurance money. The
scheme was unearthcd by the clever
work Of the Thiel detective agency whose
men gained the confidence of the gang
and nabbcd them in the very act of ap-
plying a lighted match which was in
tended to destroy property. AS long ago
as Oct. | the insurance agents of st.
Paul became convinced that many Of the
numerous fires here were of an incen-
diary origin. \ meeting of the agents
was held at which J. Quincy Haas of the
German Insurance conigany was APP
pointed to take charge of the matter and
detect the ~rascals if possible. Detectives
were nut on the case and finally secured
the arrests. .
Detective FLOYD. after having secured
"A confession from Morris Michael that
ne had started five fires IN the west side,
arranged with Michael to fire another
house and share the insurance which he
secured on it. At SID tonight the de
partment was called on and on their ar
rival found Michael under arrest CHARGED
with incendiarism. An uncle of Morris
Michael was also arrested, his house
having been burned and the insurance
money divided recently. Three other
members of the gang will be arrested
later. Morris Michael told the detective
he formerly lived in Chicago under an
other name and while there made lots of
money by starting fires for "A share of the

'~Revolutionists are numbered at 10000
600 able bodied men. 1t is said no part
of the imperial army at present upon the
field is capable of meeting this cmer-
gency. 1t is rumored in Chinese circles
in New York hat AN official telegraph

Washington, giving an account of a pre-

Another Philadelphia Failure.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. Judgments
aggregating S39.5OO were entered today
against Turland d Hoyt, dry goods deal
rrs, 1920 Ridge avenue. These judg-
ments are with one exception in favor of
the merchandise creditors of the firm, all
of whom. it is believed, are protected.
The failure of Turland & Hoyt is al echo
Of the Spring Garden bank crash. Eph-
Ram Turland, the senior member of the
firm, who is over 20 years of age, was a
director of the bank. He appears to
nave been a victim of President Ken
nedy's operations to a large extent. The
clearing house holds notes aggregating
$4,000. which. Turland says. President
Kennedy induced him to sign as an &C
commot alton. In addition to these
notes for 100000. given by Turland in
his operations with Kennedy, are out
standing. \ lot Of worthless mining
stock is all the aged dry goods merchant
has to show for his money.

TOPEKA, Dec. 1.-The peoples party
central committee this morning gave to
the public an address of 5000 words. A
large part of the address is taken up
with the old time wall of distress but the
announcement is boldly made that the
peoples party's intention is to organize
as a political institution and use all le-
gitimate means for its success. The
committee reviews the election returns,
claiming that the peoples party polled
6.2SS votes more than were cast for Viii
lets and that the republicans polled $4,000
less than were cast for Humphrey. The
action of the democrats has made the
committee indignant and it is announced
that fusion is out of the question.
In discussing the results of the recent
industrial conventions at Toledo and In
%dianapolis the committee declares they
were cmincntly satisfactory and particu,
larry encouraging to the peoples party.
The farmers alliance. knights of labor
and other organizations are declared to
to be political though not partisan or
CARNATIONS. The claim that the peo-
pies party is composed of anarchists and
Obstructionists is answered by the charge
that this is an insult to the rural popu-
lation of Kansas, which controls the new
party and composes its members.

Chill VIII Not Apologize.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 1.-The Interna.
tional Telegram correspondent has been
informed on the authority of an official
holding a high place in Santiago, that
the Chilian government has nc intention
whatever of offering an apology or in
demnlty such as the American president
requested, and that the expectation that
President Montt would in this respect
modify the policy adopted by the junta,
is misleading. The president himself, il
is said, was the most earnest advocate in
the junta of a defiant retort to the
United States, and virtually dictated the
answer sent to Minister Egan. Montt
has not changed his views since bccom-
ing president and Chill is silent now be-
cause there is nothing to be said.
Meantime, although Mont has recon-
mended the cutting down Of the army
and navy, no steps have been taken to
carry out the accommodation, and ever
the volunteers sent back to their homes
i'm the north were told to retain their
arms.

OwAToNNA, Mimi. Dec. 1.-The Hast
ings a. Diment mill. one of the largest in
this part of the state, together with 1000
bushels of wheat, went up in smoke this
morning. About . o'clock a smoke was
seen issuing from the upper story of the
mill and upon investigation by one of
the employees it was discovered that
refuse had caught fire from a hot box.
An employe started to turn on the hose
when suddenly there was an explosion
and in a minute the whole building was
ablaze. The fire was beyond control al
most from the time Of its discovery.
Alarms were turned in. but owing to the
intiammable nature of the building and
to the high wind the firemen were help
less. Hastings places his loss at 100000,
as but little of the wheat can be saved,
There is no insurance as the policy had
run M and a new one had not been ne
gotiatcd. The mill will be rebuilt at
encc.

a Novel Exhibition.

CHIcAGo, Dec. 1.-The proposition for
novel exhibit at the worlds fair will
soon be made to the officials on behalf OF
"a band of half breed Cree Indians, who
live on the line of the Canadian Pacific
railroad between Letellier and st. Nor,
bert. The Indians are more civilized
than the average redskins but they retain
their Old customs and are famous horse
men and hunters. The proposition is
that 100 OF them will come to the worlds
fair, travelling the entire distance on
their horses and bringing with them all
their camp equipments, tents, etc, and
at the fair lay out primitive Indian vii
lagos and there give exhibitions OF In
dian dances and horsemanship and, in
fact, live and act just as they do in their
own homes and camps.

Work of u Mailman.

BERNE, Dec, IA terrible accident
happened today owing to the uncon-
trollable passion of an engineer employed
on the railway line running between
Aargau, a canton of Switzerland, and
Waldshut, a town of Baden on the
Rhine. He committed some infraction
of the rules of the road and was dis
missed from service. When informed of
the action of his superiors the engineer
became Infatuated. Watching for a fav-
oroble opportunity he entered the cab of
the locomotive and opening the throttle
of the engine as wide as possible jumped
from the cab and let the locomotive
dash down the track at full speed just
as a train loaded with passengers came
rushing from the opposite direction on
the same track. The runaway locOmO-
tive and locomotive of the passenger
train plunged into each other with awful
force, both engines being entirely
wrecked and filling the track with a mass
of debris. The engineer and fireman OF
the passenger train were caught in the
wreck Of the engines and were instantly
killed, their bodies being frightfully
crushed and mangled. Three passen-
gers were fatally injured. The greatest
excitement is caused by the disaster.

The Speakership Contest.

WASHINGTON, Dec. There was
practically no change in the spcakership
contest during the afternoon. The head
quarters of the various candidates gen
orally had a crowd about them made up
in a measure. however, of people who
saw IA prospect of some Office other than
an elective one. There is now at least
one candidate for every fairly lucrative
place under the control of the house.
The list of members in the city at 6
O'Clock showed 120 representatives here.
i number of these have not committed
themselves as yet. Many of those not in
the city are also noncommittal, so il is
estimated that the preferences of at least
thirty members are unknown and
Springer places this number of unknown
at 100. At Crisp's headquarters this
estimate was regarded as unreasonably
high and it was said Crisp was steadily
improving his position. The Crisp and
Mills following both worked actively to-
day and expressed themselves as en-
cOuraged. Their efforts were directed
towards securing the withdrawal of some
of the other candidates and while they
were hopeful that their efforts would
bear fruit nothing definite was accom-
plished, though the Mills adhcrents are
very much encouraged and think they
will make important gains before long.
NJ MILAN, Springer and Hatch said their
advices were all favorable and each of
them reports he has held his W and is
content. Springer secured some add
tional lieutenants in the arrival Of State
Treasurer Wilson and party. and
Congressman Bryan Ct Nebraska.
Springer looked FOR Il quorum
of democratic members here
within. forth eight hours and thought
there would be some interesting devel-
opments before then. 1t is probable no
speech making will be permitted in the
caucus and that the nomination Of can-
didates made in very few words will be
followed by formal balloting. The In
diana delegation called a meeting this
afternoon to consider Dalton's canvass
for the clerkship. Out of eight mem
bcrs in the city, however, only five at
tended the meeting which thereupon adj
journed. The New Jersey delegation, it
was said later in the day, had not de-
termined to vote as Il unit but Crisp's
chances of a majority of its members
were good.

PENROSE MURDER CASE.
Petition of County Attorney d for
Change of Venue.

Change of Venue.
BUTTE, Dec. 1.-The following is the
petition of Attorney Baldwin for g
change of venue in the Penrose murder
case.
State of Montana vs. William F.
Deeney, Eugene f. Kelly and Philip j
Hickey. Your petitioner, John Il. Bald
win, county attorney Of the county OF
Silver Bow, represents that whereas the
above named defendants were arrested
July y, 1891, for the murder of one
William j. Penrose, who was at the time
of the murder the editor of a newspaper
published in the said county of Silver
Bow and had been "a member of the
legislature from said county and a promi
nent citizen thereof; and
Whereas the murder of said William
j.. PenrOse produced a profound sensa.
ton in said county and the preliminary
hearing of the charge against said de.
PENDANTS covered "a period of about eight
weeks, during which time the testimony
was published very fully in all the pa.
pers of said county with comments ant
criticisms thereon;
And whereas, During the said hear
ing, by questions propounded to wit
nesses. it became evident that the mem
bers of a number of organizations exist
ing in said county were exhibiting great
interest in said cause:
And whereas. During said prelimin.
AIRY hearing the same was attended by a
large proportion of the male citizens of
said county. who heard the evidence and
argument of counsel and the merits OF
the case, and who formed and expressed
opinions thereon;
And whereas, Tho defendants arc
prominent and influential citizens OF
said county, having a very extensive ac.
quaintance therein, they have an undue
influence over the minds of the inhabi
tants of the said county of Silver Bow
wherein said action is pending;
Wherefore your petitioner, the saiC
county attorney of the said county OF
Silver Bow, has reason to believe anC
does believe that the state of Mon.
tana cannot obtain and will not receive
a fair and impartial trial of said
cause in the said county of Silver Bow
and also that it is impossible in the
opinion of your petitioner to obtain {
jury in the said county of Silver Bow
who have not formed an opinion as t.
guilt or innocence of said defendants
which would disqualify them as jurors
Therefore. your petitioner as sale
county attorney aforesaid, respectfully
prays and moves the honorable court t.
make an order changing the place o.
trial and venue of said cause to some ju
dicial district and county of the state OF
Montana. in which the causes and rea
son hereinbcfore SET forth do not exist

counsel for defendants that the motion
will be heard on Dec. 10. 1891. and sale

Mr.. Campbell said that, rcserving al
rights, he excepted to the sutliciency OF

A NEW INDICrMENT
County Attorney Baldwin Files New In
formation in the Penross Muir

formation in the PenrOsp Muf-
der Case
BUTTE. Dec. ~1.-ISpecial to the TRIB-
UNE. The case of Dceney, Hickey. and
Kelley came up for hearing yesterday
afternoon upon the request of the dis
trict attorney to file new information.
After some legal sparring and exceptions
being taken by the defense County At
torney Baldwin read the new informa-
ton. There are a few changes in the
p%hraseology from the old information.
but it is materially the same except that
where in the old one it is charged the
murder was committed with a ~''revolv-
ing gun" in the new one it reads with
a certain gun or pistol (Which of the said
firearms and a more particular descrip-
ton thereof is to the said county attor-
ney unknOwn.J'
When the reading was concluded Mr..
Baldwin, addressing Mr.. Campbell, asked
whether he desired the men to plead or
whether he would take the usual time.
Mr.. Campbell-Saving all our rights in
the exceptions taken to the several rul-
ings of the court we will take q hours
in which to plead. He then asked that
the clerk be directed to furnish him with
a certified copy of the information and
an order to that effect was made.
The court then said that he had been
informed by counsel for the state that an
application would be made for a change
Of venue. If it was the intention TO
make such an application he desired to
state that it must be fled by > o'clock
tomorrow.
The case had already been too long
delayed by these preliminaries and if the
petition was not filed at the time stated
the cases would be set for trial at once.
The court then adjourned.
After the adjournment Mr.. Haldorn
stated that the petition for "A change of
emu would certainly be filed. for the
reason that three daily papers had pub
lished full reports of the preliminary
hearing and that it was only a fair in
ference that all the men, who were COM
petent to act as jurors. had read the pro.
cerdings and had formed an opinion or
bias from reading them.
