Secretary Gresham is in receipt of
reports from the United States Minis
ter at Constantinople, regarding the
outrageous assault made on Miss Mel
ton, Presbyterian missionary from
Iowa. The report says that the Turks
suspected of being concerned in the
outrage have been arrested by the
Turkish authorities and taken to the
capital of the province for trial.

The Legislative Primary.

In the election of November, 1892.
according to the official returns, Meme
fee county gave to the highest Demo-
cratic elector Ats votes, and to thu
highest Republican eleotor 25S votes
The leading Populist elector received
81 and the leading Prohibition electoi
l3 votes. In Montgomery the votes
for the leading electors stood: Demo-
Gratis, l,507; Republicans, l,04l; Pop
ulist, IS; Prohibition. SO. In the Ha-
zelrigg- Holt race in Menefee the vote
stood: Democratic, 4SS; Republican,
266. In Montgomery in the same
the vote stood: Democratic, l,517 I;
Republican, 1,066. Now, taking either
race, and allowing that the Populist
and Prohibition vote all left the DEM
ocratic party and that it will return al
this election, we fluid that Menefee can
poll $50 votes in the Democratic pri-
mary next Saturday, whilst Mont
gomery can, on the same basis, poll
l,675 votes. Assuming that all the
vote will be polled in each county,
there is no reasonable probability
that Menefee can nominate her man.
The next Representative must, in all
seeming, come from Montgomery,
for to overcome division of Mont
gomery's vote Menefee would have t.
poll great number of votes over and
above the Democratic votes she polleu
last November. Taking an unpreju-
diced view of the case it seems cer-
taintY that either Mr.. Cassity or
Judge French will be the next Repre-
sentative from this district. 1t is a
most important matter, whether our
view is correct or not, that the very
best man who presents hemself should
be nominated. If the Democrats OF
the district shall say either Mr.. Ia,
lor, Judge French or MIR. Cassity is
the most available man, we shall be
satisfied and will endeavor to do our
utmost to support the nominee as bes
we may, and to do ali in our power to
aid in rolling up for him the largesi
majority possible at the final election.
Let every Democrat in both Menefec
and Montgomery see to it that he is al
the polls next Saturday between the
hours of 7 a. IN. and p. m. aud cast
his vote for the best man who has
himself for their suflrages.

The Democratic party, we believe,
should have a full ticket, and thus tar
we have candidates in all the wards
except the Third, and hope TO be able
to make announcements of two good
men to fill this place in our next issue.
There is some talk of the present
Councilmen being candidates for ae-
election, and in our opinion the candi-
dates, whoever they may be, should
receive the party endorsement. We
suppose the race tor city offices sub
iect to the action of the Democratic
party is now made up. We have
good men to choose from, and we
urge Democrats to make their choice
free from personal preference. The
question of qualification, the man who
would best promote the city's inter-
ests should be considered and if any
combines are made they should be
promptly SET upon.

Patton Said to Have Been Connected
With the Fugitive Embezzler.
NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-A morning pa
per has the following:
1t was learned from reliable source
that what has been variously limited
may prove to be true. not only in the
similarity of methods of Patton and
those of Francis Weeks, but that there
was also close business connection be-
tween them. 1t is said that Ludlow
Patton has rich uncle who retired
from active connection with his
nephew's firm Is or lS years ago, and
who had extensive dealings with Weeks.
In the course of their business transact
tions Weeks, it is asserted, transferred
large portion of the bonds and stocks
to Patton senior. The latter, it is fur
ther said, has been unable to collect the
in terest on them without the signature
of Weeks. 1t is also declared that Lud-
low Patton's friends have been losers
by William M. Patton and Francis
Weeks. The schedules filed in the
court of common pleas are declared to
be faulty in many respects.

ST. PAUL Oct. 25.-A crisis is threat
ened between the Twin City Rapid Tran

growing out of the employment by the
company of non-union men. The en-

such organization has received Il quasi,

The union thinks it has grievence, but
the exact nature of it has not been made
public, having been submitted in writ

public unless the company sees Fl to do
SO and the manner OF making this as
sertion would seem to convey some
character Of threat. The men OBJ
ject to the employment of non

would convey the idea that unless
such men are discharged they will in-
augnrate strike. The railway COM

END OF THE FAIR
The Exercises Mt the Closing Of the

And Will Consist Principally of
Speechmaking in Festival

The Only Popular Feature Will Be
the Landing of Christopher

WoLRD's FAIR GROUNDS, Oct. 25.-
A chilling breeze came off the lake and
made it necessary for visitors to pull
their coats closely about their chins.
People are realizing that this is the last
week of the exposition, and it is doubt
full whether they will stay away for
anything less than blizzard. The
patronage of children keeps up. Every
thin g now centers on the festivities in
cident to the close of the fair. The
statement from Washington that Pres
ident Cleveland and his cabinet could
not attend is regarded by the commit
tee as final, and the programme is being
arranged accordingly. The exercises
will be
Ofa Dignified Character,
consisting of speech1naking at Festival
exercises it is likely that medals and
diplomas will be awarded successful
exhibitors. Invitations will be sent
out to a select few. The hall will only
seat 5000, and as there are 50,0UO ex-
hibitors, there is considerable dissatis-
faction among those who fear they will
not be invited. The only popular fea-
ture of entertainment during the day
will be the landing of Christopher
Columbus. The noted mariner will
step aboard the Santa Maria and cruise
around Lake Michigan while. He
will then step ashore opposite Manu-.
factures building and discover some Of
Professor Pntnam's New York Indians.
Considerable Dissatisfaction
has manifested itself among some Of
the exhibitors regarding the system
adopted by the directors for the re-
moval of goods. After the fair closes
the majority of the exhibitors are anx-
ious to get away as soon as possible, but
according to an order adopted by tho
directors they will be only ::llowed 20
work eight hours a day packing their
goods and making ready for departure.
The use of the electric lights is to be
denied those who wish to work at
night. This action was taken by ths
directors so that no undue haste should
be made by the exhibitors in getting
away, thus allowing visitors the ALL
vantage OF seeing the fair after the
gates are officially closed.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. Oct. 25.-The

forbidding that road to receive any in

into the state unless it has the official
stamp of the state dispensary.
The question is an interesting one
and involves an Interpretation of the
interstate commerce law. BY making
the application the state submits the
question to the court and admits its
jurisdiction. The constitutionality of
the dispensary act will therefore be di-
rectly question.
