LED A DOUBLE LIFE.

LED "A DO BILE LIFE.
Gilman's Defalcations VIII Reach
$3OO,OO0-Estates Held in Trust
Wrecked-A Woman In the Case.
BosToN, Aug. 15.-Later investigations
bring to light certain facts which seem to
warrant the assertion that James E. Gill
man, the missing member of the grain firm
of Gilman, Cheney & Co., misappropriated
no less than 100000 of other peoples
money. The Walker estate, 1t is said, will
lose over $3.50, 900. His mothers estate Of
$1S5, 900 has practically been all absorbed,
and the Lamson estate funds will swell
the total to about $500, 900. 1t Is believed
that in his flight he carried away at least
$40, 900 in cash and negotiable securities,
which apparently offsets the theory that
he has committed suicide. Appearances
now indicate that Gilman has led double
life, although standing high in business
and social circles. 1t is said there is a
woman in the case.
MESSING MEETS CLEVELAND.
Thinks the Democrats ought to
Concentrate Their Efforts on Wis
consin and Illinois.
BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, Aug. 15.-Wash-
ington Hessing, editor and proprietor of
the Stats Zeitung of Chicago, called on
Mr.. Cleveland this afternoon. He came
on principally to impress upon Mr.. Glove
land the necessity of concentrating the eff
forts of the party in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin; also to establish branch of the ma
tional committee in Chicago in charge of
members of that committee from those two
states. He felt certain that these two
states would give handsome majorlties for
Cleveland, although Illinois gave Harrison
q, 900 in 1888. The democrats are certain
of electing their candidate for governor.
Mr.. Hessing's paper, though independent
in politics, is the organ of the Germans.
He says they will give Cleveland 65 per
cent. of their vote against like ajority
for Harrison in '8S. They are thoroughly
organized and have already begun cam
paign work. The nomination of Cleveland
gives general satisfaction among the Ger
mans in those states, principally because
of Cleveland's position as regards hard
money. Mr.. Hessing meetsthe campaign
committee in New York on Wednesday.
MINING TROUBLES.
The Militia to be Called Out in Gaze of
Further Disturbances.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 15.-This
300 of the East Tennessee miners,
heavily armed, marched into Inman, lit
tie mining town in the Sequatchie valley.
Their object was we'll known and the citi-
zens packed up and fed. The mob went
to the coal mines and captured the seven
teen guards, marched them to the stock
md fhar ThxaD
convicts, who were at work, were then
taken to Victoria, little village near by,
packed in box cars and started to Nash
vile. Governor Buchanan telegraphed the
eheriff to summon posse and prevent the
burning of the stockades. If further
trouble ensues the governor says he will
order out the militia.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-At the request
of the state department, Acting Secretary
Spaulding has informed the collector of
customs at New York that the statue of
Columbus presented to the city of New
York will reach that port about the end of
this month on the Italian royal naval
transport Gariglisno, and has instructed
him that the statue is to be admitted free
of duty as work of art, and that due
courtesies are to be extended to the officers
and crew of the Gsrigliano.
GAUDAUR HAS wALKOVER.
He Defeats the Australian Stephenson
in a Three Mile Race with a Turn
After the First Mile He Has Things
His own Way-General Sporting
News.
ORILLIA, Ont, Aug. 15.-Gaudaur had
q walkover in the race to-day with
the Australian. The race was
three miles with turn. Five thousand
people witnessed the event. Betting was
done at even money. Stephenson dipped
his oars first, and gained half length in
the first five hundred yards, but the men
were even at the mile, after which Gaudaur
took the lead and held it throughout the
race. At the turn, which was made in
$40, the Orillian was four lengths ahead,
an advantage which he increased ON the
winning by twenty lengths
in 20:03. From the easy pace at which
rowed the last mile it was evil
dent that had he been pushed he could have
lowered the record of 1881 made by him
at Duluth.
