Private dispatches to Des Moincs POI
ice officials from the New York police
department. give the information that
John Gilmore alias George Price has
been arrested in that city for having
burglar tools in his possession. He is
one of the most noted crooks in the
country, and was released from the
oenitentiary at Anamosa last May for
good behavior, after serving long
sentence for robbery at Larrab bee
While he was in Anamosa penitentiary
40 was under the name of George J.
Bedford and patented many valuable
articles He was a skillful mechanic
and the New York police are anxious
20 get information concerning his rec
ord. Gilmore was pardoned out of
Anamosa prison last May for good con-
luct, and since then he has been try
ing to lead an honest life. He has been
convicted for murder and was SEN
,enced to be hanged, but was acquitted
IN retrlal ordered by the court of APP
1eals in Maryland in 1870. The at
tempt at bank burglary IN New York
made by Gilmore in 1874 is perhaps his
most daring crime In March of that
year Gilmore, who came from Wash
ington, d. c., opened the premises at
No. SO Eighth avenue as an oyster
house. He thus was established next
to te big brown stone bank building at
the corner of Fourteenth street and
Eighth avenue. The building was oc-
cupied by the New York County Ma.
tional and the New York Savings
banks. At the time it was said there
were $4,000, 900 of cash and collateral
in the vaults of the two banks. Gil

basement, ostensibly for use in his
oyster house and to supply the neigh.
1orhood with steam power. The'steam
was really used in drilling by night
through the granite wall of the fire
proof vault of the National Bank, which
lad been reached by the removal of
The brick walls of both houses. The
plot was discovered and Gilmore and
his pals arrested.

That Punch and Judy show

The Force bill Punch and Judy dia-
logue has not wit enough in it to make
people laugh, and is too absurd to make
anybody frightened. The excuse for
the newspaper which started it is that
the editor preferred that sort of thing
to singing the praises of the candidate
he abhorred; but it is apparent that
even the editor in question finds it u
weary task to keep his marionettes
squeaking their Force bill gibberish
throughout the campaign. Every body
knows, who knows anything, that
there is no such thing as q Force bill,
that the Republicans do not propose to
enact any Force bill, and, that the only
kind of force that menaces elections in
the South is that against which ma
jority of the white voters of Alabama
are just now protesting,
The Force bill Punch and Judy show
is beneath criticism. Nobody mis-
takes it for genuine performance

Paper Men Protect Their Interests.

New YORK, Oct manufacturers
and wholesale dealers IN paper in this
and other cities of the country have
called meeting to be held at an early
day to take into consideration matters
concerning the paper trade. The quar-
antine placed upon rags from foreign
ports in consequence of the prevalence
of cholera is having the effect os greatly
stiffening prices in PRINT and other
papers, and the meeting soon to be
held is for the purpose of determining
what action shall be taken In concert
to protect the trade. There has been
already two advances from prices pre-
vailing before the quarantine was or
dered, and the end is not yet. Indeed
1t is difficult 10 say to what extent man
ufacturers and dealers will have to go,
in view OF the fact that cholera is likely
to prevail next year TO a greater de-
gree even than this season.

The enormous Tree Importation Tor
1892 shown in the above table is of
merchandise, the like of which is not
produced in this country, so that the
people obtain the kind of goods they
cannot themselves produce, at the
lowest possible price.
The dutiablc merchandise, on the
other hand, Is that, the like of which
they can and do themselves produce;
the theory of the Mckinley bill being
that, in u well ordered country, the
consumer should obtain rs cheaply as
possible such articles as he cannot him
self make or grow, and that foreign
goods similar in kind to his own pro-
duct should he taxed, so that he can
have the first chance in his own market.

VIENNA, Oct. l9.-An encounter is
reported between Austrian and Russian
troops on the Galician frontier. The
Austrian sentinels stationed on the
frontier near Belzec refused to admit
some Polish emigrants into Aus
trian territory on the ground that
their passports were defective.
The Cossack guards on the Rus
sian side of the boundary
were anxious to get rid of the emf
grants and protested against the ac-
ton of the Austrians From protest
the dispute grew into an angry quar-
rel, and at length a shot was fired
which killed one of the Austrians. The
latter rushed at the Cossacks, ard
shots and bayonet thrusts were freely
exchanged between the soldiers of the
two Empires. The AuStrians proved
too much for the Russians, who at
length took to fight, leaving the Aus
TRANS masters of the situation.
