THEY LEFT THEIR MARK.

Peculiar Punishment Inflicted on Q
 Man Who Separated from His Wife.
 PITTsBURG. Pa., Jan. 17.-Charles Buss of Shousetown, a village near Pittsburg, is the victim of peculiar assault while asleep.
 The young man, prominent in the M. E. Church of this village, was married to a young lady about nine months ago. Six weeks ago trouble arose and they agreed to separate. Since his wife left him, at short intervals, Buss has re- ceived numerous communications warn- ing him under threats to leave town at once.
 During last night he heard no noise about the house. That is the last he remembers until morning, when he was struck almost dumb at the discovery of a blue cross imprinted upon his face, ex- tending from his hair down over his nose, the cross piece over his forehead. A physician states that the cross was picked in with india ink and cannot be removed. In the centre of the cross were the letters "N. to O."
 Last night Buss received another warning notice to leave the place inside of 24 hours or he would be 8 corpse This notice was placed in the hands of detectives who are working on the case. Buss has no idea who his enemies are.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. The fight over the Elections bill still continues. The Senate was in session all night.
 MT. Faulkner commenced his speech in opposition to the bill about midnight and spoke for several hours, it being evident that the object of the Democratic side is to occupy time.
 There is mnch speculation about when a vote will be taken. The Republicans say they are much encouraged by the ac- tion of Senator Washburn in voting with them against adjournment, and say they feel that, although he may eventually vote against the bill, he will still vote and thus help to make up the quorum.I
 Senator Ingalls's position is the sub- ject of much speculation among them. He refrained from voting Wednesday night to take up the Elections bill, and last night he was not present when the first motion to adjourn was defeated. One Republican Senator says that he is in sympathy with the objects of the bill, as, indeed, seemed apparent from the opening sentences of his speech last We'd nesday, but inst how he will vote upon the measure or its supporting prop osi- tions, is a matter of speculation.

THE eEHRlNG SEA CASE.
Probable Action of the Attorney General
 and the Supreme Court.

Probable Action of the Attorney General
 and the Supreme Court.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-There is good authority for saying that Attorney-Gen- eral Miller in few days will ask the Supreme Court of the United States to decline to entertain the suggestion for a writ of prohibition against the Judge of the United States District Court in Alaska, which was presented to the Supreme Court last Monday by Calderon Carlisle in the name of the Government of Canada and of the Government of Great Britain.
 The Attorney General will argue that the court has no jurisdiction in the case, one of the parties being an independent sovereignty against which the court has no means of enforcing its decree. A court of arbitration is the only court whose decree the Government of Great Britain would be bound to accept, and the Supreme Court of the United States is not a court of arbitration. It is sim ply and solely a court of law; it is as a court of law that the counsel for the Government of Great Britain applies to it, and as a court of law it will be bound to say to great Britain's counsel that it cannot assume any jurisdiction over his client. And there the courts statement of its position will rest.

HE KILLED HER FATHER.
A Sensational Love Affair that Winds UI
 in Marriage.

in Marriage.
 PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 17.-Frank Johns- ton, telegraph operator, who came to Pittsburg from Chicago last spring, has returned to his native city to fulfill a marriage engagement which was made ten years ago. The lady of his choice is Emma Boyer, we'll known music teacher of the Lake City. Both are about 32 years of age.
 When their engagement was first made Miss Boyer's father interposed his objection and gave strict orders that Johnston should not visit the house. Stormy interviews were frequently held between the lover and the irate father At one of these meetings words led to blows, and a sharp fight took place, which resulted in the death of Mir. Boyer.
 Johnston was tried by court and ac- quilted on the ground of self-defence. He attempted to affect reconciliation with the murdered mans daughter, but she refused to marry her fathers slayer. They have seldom met since then, and when they did there was no recognition. Johnston became a tourist operator and went carelessly from city to city.
 Last spring he came to Pittsburg and determined to settle down. He met Miss Boyer at the house of friend. They greeted each other in a friendly way, and the engagement which had been broken ten years ago was renewed.
 Before leaving Pittsburg Johnston said the marriage would take place this even- ing, after which the couple will come East.

CLUBBED TO DEATH
X New Jersey Farmer Attacked
 by a Negro Laborer.
FOUND IN A POOL OF BLOOD.
The Victim Lived Long Enough to Tsl]
 the Name of the Murderer.

The Authorities Notified and the SheriM
 and Posse Now Securing the County.
 The Motive for the Crime Not Yet
 Clear-The Residents of the Place
 Greatly Excited.
 CARLsTADT, N. J., Jan. 17.-The resi- dents of Cherry Hill, which is a short distance from this place, became excited last night when they learned that Robert Mcdonald, 8 well-to-do farmer of the place, had been fatally assaulted by 8 negro named Phil Mann.
 Farmer Mcdonald left his house yes- terday afternoon to look after the stock on his farm. Some time afterward he was discovered in a semi-conscious con- dition, lying in pool of blood, near his own house. He was discovered there by John Cisco, 8 colored man, who works in the neighborood as a farm hand. Mc- Donald was bleeding from ugly wounds about the head. It was evident that he had been struck by some blunt instru- ment.
 He was unable to make 8 statement until last night, when he rallied some what before he died, and said that he had been assaulted by Phil Mann, a negro, who has worked in Cherry Hill as a farm hand, and who has not borne a good reputation. In the presence of a number of witnesses, farmer Mcdonald stated that Mann attacked him with a club and beat him until he lost his senses. Mcdonald lived but a short time after making this statement.
 As soon as the authorities were noti- fled the Sheriff swore in 8 posse of men as deputies and they are now securing | the country for the murderer. The motive for the crime is not yet clear. It was reported that Mcdonald | had been robbed by his assailant, but this is not generally believed. It is alleged that Mann, the negro, assaulted the victim to satisfy 8 grudge he had l against him.

An Ecclesiastical Case that Has Created
 Excitement for Over n Week.
 PITT TsBURG, Pa., Jan. 17.-The verdict of the Ecclesiastical Court, which fo r more than a week has been taking testi- mony in the case of Rev. J. T. Riley of Braddock, Pa, has just been rendered. The committee finds Rev. Riley guilty of "grossly imprudent and unministerial conduct and undue familiarity with other women than his wife.'
 The charge of immortality was not sus- tained. The finding of the committee suspends Rev. MT. Riley from all minis terial and church privileges until the en- suing session of the Pittsburg Confer ence, which meets in October. The trial throughout was secret. n.
 The present investigation was brought about by the close connection in which Rev. MT. Riley figured in the Minnick case last February. Rev.. Mir. Riley's suspension from the ministry is the closing chapter of the expose of the in generation and attempt to confine MT. w. J. Minnick, sane man, in DiXmont, as at that time the name of Rev. J. T. Riley figured prominently in the publi- cation of Mrs Minnick's statement as to the cause that led ito MT. Minnick being removed from home.

EVA REPUplArES MANN.
She Says She Was Never Married to Ain
 by Ceremony.

by Ceremony.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Great crowds were present to hear the testimony in the Hamilton will contest. Every neck was stretched when Eva Hamilton was called as a witness.
 She said she was the contestant. She knew Joshua J. Mann, and met him in Pennsylvania in January, 1886, at her fathers, Thomas Steele's house. She did not introduce Mann as her husband, but she was informed that her uncle had done so. She never at any time entered into a contract of marriage with Mann. She did not hear him say that he was her husband She never told anyone that she was his wife or that he was her hus- band.
 Eva swore that Josh Mann was with her at Passaic and at her uncle's house in Pennsylvania. She admitted stopping at the same hotel with Mann; but de- clared that Mann was unable to care for himself-an imbecile-and it was not safe to leave him alone. for a moment, and she kept him in her room in order that he should not wander off.
 Eva declined to answer whether she had had sexual relations with Mann on the ground that the answer might tend to degrade her. She admitted signing her name as Evange1ine s. Mann in the books of the Union Dime and Bleecker street banks. She denied several of her previous sworn statements.
 At this point, she said that she felt ill and wished to be relieved from further examination for the day. The court then adjourned until Monday.

The Young Warriors Have Not Yet Sur
 rendered Their Arms.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. TIA dispatch from Pine Ridge Agency says a council composed of several hundred friendly and hostile Indians was held last night to discuss matters relating to the com plete settlement of the present difficult. ty. Leading chiefs addressed the coun. cil and advised the Indians to give up their arms without further delay, and thus end the matter so they can return to their home. The young warriors in the hostile camp are still very defiant, and Gen. Miles says he will not wait much longer for the surrender of their arms.
 "There is no necessity for haste. I do not intend to send delegation until this matter is entirely settled here, and In dians do as have directed, which direc- tions they are now complying with in every respect. This Indian war I now consider at an end in the most satisfac- tory manner. A more complete submis- sion to the military power has never been made by any Indians. The report that any have escaped is simply not true"

SENSATIONAL ARREST.
A New York kAssemblyman Charged With
 Embezzlemsnt and Forgery.

Embexziemont and Forgery.
 NyAcK, N. Y, Jan. 17.-Assemblyman Frank P. Demarest, of Rockland county, was arrested at his home, at Montmoor, at half-past one o'clock a. m. charged with forgery.
 The warrant was issued by Justice W. H. Bannister, of Nyack, a political pro- tege of Demarest, on the affidavit of John T. Gardiner, school tax collector of Upper Nyack, charging Demarest with forging Gardiner's name on checks given for the payment of taxes by the Union Steamboat Company, of Buffalo, and on receipts for the same.
 Demarest has been for several years counsel for the Union Steamboat Com pany, who have their principal office at Upper Nyack for the purpose of avoiding the payment of higher taxes elsewhere.
 Demarest has been in the habit of se- curing the company tax bills from the collector and receiving the checks there for. It is now charged that in three in stances he raised the amount of the bills, received the money for payment from the company, forged Gardiner's name on the receipts and checks and pocketed the difference between the amount of the true and the false bills.
 His method of procedure was to raise the assessment as it appeared on the tax receipt about fifty per. cent on the valu- ation of $100,000. The total amount of his defalcation is $1,S16.99. He was re- leased on his own recognizance.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 1.-The news of the arrest of Assemblyman Frank F. Demarest created decided sensation here in political circles, coming as it does on the eve of the Senatorial cleo tion. The Democratic majority on joint ballot is so slender that some fear exists lest something happen to prevent a full Democratic attendance.
