FIXING ANOTHER STEAL.
Audacious Republican Scheme to
PiIfer Electoral Votes.


DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 22.-The Tribune
tomorrow will print the following: 1t
would appear that Cleveland is not to
receive those five electoral votes from
Michigan, and that Chairman Campau is
to lose the only remaining scrap of
evidence that the Democratic state CEN
trail committee attempted to conduct a
campaign in Michigan last fall
SenatOr-elect Weiss some weeks ago an
nounced that he would introduce bill
to repeal the Miner election law,
which provides for the election of pres.
Dental electors by districts. Fred A.
Baker, the attorney. who. with Col.
Duffield. argued before the supreme
court of the state and also before
the supreme court of the United
States against the validity of the law,
proposes to 90 further. Mr.. Baker has
carefully analysed the opinion of the
supreme court sustaining the law and
the result has been that he has pre-
pared bill which is to be
introduced by Senator Weiss as soon
as the legislature meets, the
object of which is the unSeating Ofthe
five presidential electors who have been
chosen officials. The districts are the
Eastern district at large and to the
First. Second. Seventh and Tenth con-
gressional districts. The plan is tohave
the legislature name all the electors.
They will be. of course. Republicans.

TRACING THE STUFF.
Detectives Questioning an Adams
Express Messenger.

lIAO ECS5
CINCINNATI, Dec Cat was on the
goth of last month that the Island City
Savings bank, of Galveston, Tex. re-
ceived by the Wells-Fargo express a
package purporting to contain $4,000
This package came from KhuntZ Bros,
New York city, bankers. 1t contained
only brown paper cut to the size of bank
notes. On the morning of Nov. 80,
1892, Ball, Hutchings q Co., bankers at
Galveston, received from Wells-FargO
Express package marked to contain
$4,000 sent by the National City Bank
of New York. This, too, was found to
contain only brown paper. On exami-
nation il was found that both packages
had been opened and carefully re-
sealed. The Wells-Fargo company put
detectives at work very quietly. They
sought the man who bad robbed them
of $4,000.
To-day the officers of the Adams eX-
press here were thunderStruck by a tel
egram from the WellS-Fargo headquar-
ters that the Wells Fargo company
would hold the Adams Express compa-
ny responsible for the S35, 900 distracted
from the two packages Ell route
to Galveston. These packages were
carried from Cincinnati to Nash
vile by the Adams Express company.
Charles A. Hardin was the messenger
of the Adams Express who had charge
of these packages between this city and
Nashville. Mr.. Hardin was instantly
sought by Col. Weir an da corps of,de-
tectives. Tonight was his turn to take
the run to Nashville. Failure to
find him led to the suspicion
that he had run away. but he reported
for duty tonight and his manner when
met by the detectives, made them almost
regret that they had suspected him. He
Yves taken by the detectives to the Ben
nett house and has been closely ques-
toned by the detectives. He has~an-
swered all questions without reserve.
He is not in custody. The Adams Ex-
press people do not believe him guilty.

QUEER FINANCiERING.
Building Association Membe
AnyiOus tn Interview an Office

Building Association Members
Anxious to Interview an officer.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 22.-The members
of four building associations of this city
are very much worried over what ap-
pears to be some very crooked work by
State Senator Robert j. Kuehnert, who
is or.was attorney for the four associa-
lions interested. The associations in
volved are the McMicken No. 5. the
Sparkasse, the New German and
the Germania. Itappears that Kuehnert
has made seven first mortgages
on one piece of property owned by
Mrs. w. j. Fitzgerald. of Walnut Hill,
which aggregates $4,000. The property
in question is worth about So, 900. War
rants will probably be issued for Kuehn-
ert'S arrest tomorrow unless he can be
found and makes an explanation of his
transactions. Some very interesting de-
velOpments are expected. Kuehnert's
Office has been besieged by-anXiouS in
quirers all morning, but no one could
tell where he was. 1t is thought he has
left town.

The Ancient Betrothal Ring.

The ancients wore the betrothal ring
as now, on the next least finger of the
left hand. Many reasons are assigned
for this, as the erroneous idea that
vein OF nerve went direct to the heart,
ana therefore the outward sign of mat
rmony should be placed in connection
with the seat of life; the left hand is a
sign of inferiority Or subsection; the
left hand is less employed than the
right, ana the finger next the least best
protected. At one time it was the GUS
tom to place the wedding ring on the
right hand of the bride. The Anglo
Saxon bridegroom at the betrothal gave
a wed or pledge, and ring was placed
Oh the maiden's right hand. where it re-
manned till marriage, and was then
transferred to the left.

CABINET FORECAST.
Within ey Said to BE Slated for the
State Portfolio.

New YORK, Dec. 22.-The report
stronger than ever, was revived today
that Hon. William c. Whitney is slated
for secretary of state. Close friends of
Mr.. Whitney say that it would be a
very difficult matter for him to
decline Mr.. Cleveland's offer to enter
the cabinet, and especially as its pre-
mier. A forecast of the cabinet that
attracts some attention is as follows:
Secretary of state, William G. Whit
ney, of New York; treasury, j. G. Car
Isle. Kentucky; postmaster general,
Isaac Pussy Gray, of Indiana; attorney
general, George Gray, of Delaware.
Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson and Col.
Daniel S. Lamont were among MIR.
Cleveland's visitors today. Mir. Cleve-
land spent most of the day in his law Of
flee in the Mills building. Mr.. Dickinson
passed two or three hours with the
president-elect. He assured Mr.. Cleve-
land that the senatorial committee had
performed its work splendidly, and that
there was very little doubt that the
upper branch of congress would be in
political accord with the house.

A kerchief white as driven snow
Pinned DER her virgin breast.
Her close silk bonnet set
About her pure, fresh face.

In Quaker garb arrayed,

And so. in very truth
AT the swift fitting of her glance,

Or asa Wind-anemone,
In ferny corner set.
And often would the smiles
Within her dimpies Turk.
To see us on each other glare,
Fiercer than bearded Turk
WheE sweet Priscilla went
Thro' eYery manly heart
Her Quaker Wiles. her Quaker smiles,
Had driven Cupid's dart
And while each fellow swore
His chance was far ahead,

MARY JANE.

l have thought of getting married
When I've seen thee. Mary Jane,
With thy dainty silks and satins,
With thy petticoat and train;
But whisper came across me,
Like a sigh with omen rife,
"Ah, It's ye.y well TO mary,
But, oh canst thou keep wife?'
If the last new bonnet suits thee,
Canst thou wear it still the same.
Though newer pattern tempt thee,
Dately handed down to fame:
Will dresser two content thee,
When stern fashion orders more,
And a solitary headdress do,
Instead of half score:
But they tell me l am raviug,
To expect so strange thing,
And they laugh TO scorn my musings
And the hopes to which cling.
So fear | must resign thee,
And u bachelor remain,
Yet never can forget thee.
Oh, too costly Mary Jane.

say that the governors opinion was

of $4,000 has been subscribed
and work on the buildings will be
commenced within few days. The
stock is nearly all held in Milwaukee,.
The LEGAL stock holders, or a majority of
them, were stockholders in the Pekin

whisky trust. The Milwaukee men
were opposed to the sale. but being in
the minority they had to acquiesce.
