One night last week, just after the
Missouri, Kansas i, Texas passenger
train No. 2 pulled out Of Adair
station, Ind. T., three desperadees
confronted the agent and robbed him
OF SIS, 700. Eighteen citizens who
appeared on the scene, were made to
hold up their hands and we're
marched, at the point OF the bandits
guns, TO one Of the principal stores
in the town, which was robbed OF

The Lincoln league, a republican
organization OF Waterfowl, N. T.,
has started a movement for the pur-
pose Of aiding Governor Mckinley in
his financial embarrassment. The
idea set forth in the resolutions is to
start a subscription in which the
amount will be limited TO 81, the
fund thus created to be given Gov
ernor Mckinley as a testimonial for
his past services to the republican
party, as an expression OF sympathy
in his financial affiictiOn, and as a
provision against his threatened
| retirement from political life in order
to retrieve his fortunes in business.
John w. Mackay, the famous
| capitalist, was shot Friday afternoon
at the Lick house in San Francisco
by an old man whose identity is not
vet disclosed. The latter shot Mr..
| Mackay in the back. When Mackay
turned to face his assailant the
latter turned the pistol toward him
self. Mackay's assailant was a man
aged about sixty years and is named
RatchafTe. Beyond that his identity
is not known or his motive. He
fired one shot at Mackay, the bullet
entering the latter's back, and then
at once shot himself over the heart
and died within five minutes. Mr..
Mackay was at once placed in a
carriage and was driven away. 1t is
not believed that his wound is
fatal.

A MURDEROUS CRANK.
Lives of Cleveland, Carlisle and the Ed
itOrs of a Newspaper Threatened.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. q. Charles F.
Blackburn, a mining expert, was arrest
ed late last night for sending threaten
ing letters and postal cards through the
mails. Blackburn is a crank on silver
and religion. For the past three years
he has been writing abusive, scurril-
Gus and threatening letters TO preachers, ed
itors, politicians and private citizens who
disagreed with him on public or social ques-
tions. Over one hundred postal cards were
written to the editors of the Post Intelli-
gencer. most of them threatening terrible
death if the course of the paper on the sill
yer question be adhered to. He wrote let
tiers to President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle threatening to kill them. His favor
lite expression was: Il will kill the Presi-
dent of the United States. John CT. Carlisle
and the editor OF the Post Intelligencer."
Blackburn. when arrested, did not deny
writing the letters, and said he meant what
they contained.

FRANK LAwLER SLAPPED.
Washington Hesing Appointed Post
master mt Chicago.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The President
made the following appointments to-day:
Washington Hesing. to be postmaster at
Chicago; William j. MiZel, to be collector
of internal revenue for the district of Chica-
20; Nelson Baldwin, TO be collector of Gus
toms at Erie. Pa; William j. Bulger, to be
collector of customs at Oswego, y. Y, and
Frank r. Dapney, of Louisiana, to be con-
sulting engineer of the United States and
Mexican boundary commission.
Washington Hesing. who was named to-
day for the office Of postmaster at Chicago,
was frequently mentioned for the Office of
collector or customs, but in view of the fact
that IL is said that a change is not contem-
plated in that office for some time, the Pres
tdent concluded to give him the Office for
which he was named to-day. Frank Law

date for the Chicago postmaStershiD,
basinS his right to the place on one of the
longest and most numerOusly signed petit
lions ever presented to the President of the
United States by an applicant for public
office, but there was a strong desire on the
part OF the President 10 recognize Mr.. Hes
Ing, whose influence is conceded To have
been so potent in giving Illinois TO the DEM
ocratS in the last presidential election.
The appointment OF William j. MiZel as
collector of internal revenue at Chicago is
said at the Treasury Department TO be a
compromise. There has, IL is said, been q
bitter fight for the place between II. s..
Spangler and Peter Dudley. The President
acted on a suggestion that MiZel would be
satisfactory TO all factions.
