RAlNBANDITSIN ARKANSAS
Conductor Murdered and
Passengers Robbed.
HIS BRAVERY LED TO HIS DEATH
He Fired on the Bandits and
Was Shot Down.


LITTLE Rock, ARK. Nov. 4.-South-
bound Iron Mountain train No. 81 was
held up by seven masked bandits at
Oliphant, small station seven miles north
of Newport, at 10 o'clock last night. As
soon as the train was brought to stand
still, the gang began firing at once into
the express car and panic occurred
among the crew and passengers.
Conductor W. II. McNally brayely
rushed out to the platform and tired into
the attacking party. His fealty to his en-
ployers cost him his life, as shots were re-
turned and he fell MORALLY wounded. The
express messenger was oyerpowered with
out much trouble and the safe forced open
and emptied of its contents.
Through with the express car, the
robbers then turned their attention to the
passenger coaches and those who had not
safely hidden away their valuabes were
quickly relieved of them. How much
money the robbers secured has not yet
been ascertained.
Another report says the robbers were on
the train when it left Newport at $40 p. M,
and when II slowed up for 0liphant they
arose from their seats and commanded
the passengers to throw up their hands.
They complied, but conductor McNally
opened fire on the robbers without effect,
when they returned the ire, shooting him
down. He died in few minutes.
The passengers were looted and the
bandits then turned TO the express car. 1t
is believed the greater portion of the booty
was secured from the passengers, as this
train seldom ever carries any large
amounts.
After robbing the train they galloped
off into the darkness and the train pro-
ceeded on to Little Rock The robbers at
tempted to hold up the st. Louis fast mail,
No. So, but Engineer Cool became sus-
picious and would not stop.
Mr.. McNally resided in Little Rock, and
was unmarried. He was one Of the most
popular conductors on the Arkansas
division and his death is mourned by all

Designating Thursday, November 3Oth.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The Presi-
dent this afternoon issued the following
Thanksgiving Day proclamation:
While the American people should
every day remember with praise and
thanksgiving the divine goodness and
mercy which have followed them since
their beginning as nation, it is fitting
that one day in each year should be es-
pecially devoted to the contemplation OF
the blessing we have received from the

acknowledgement of His loving kindness.
Therefore, |, Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
30th day Of the present month Of No.
vember, as day of thanksgiving and
praise to be kept and observed BY ell
the people of our land. On that day let
us forego our ordinary work and EN-
pigments, and assemble in our usual
places Of worship, where may recall all
that God has done for US and where
from grateful hearts our united tribute
of praise and song may reach the throne
Of grace. Let the reunion of kindred
and the social meeting of friends lend
cheer and enjoyment to the day, and let
generous gifts of charity for the relief
OF the poor and needy prove the sim
certify of our thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States, which | have caused to
be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington on the
third day of November, in the year of our
Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-three,
and of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and eighteenth.

GOOD EFFECT OF THE REPEAL BILL.
Reports From Manufacturing Centres
Snow n Decided Revival of Business.

Reports From Manufacturing Centres
SHOW Decided Revival of business.
Mondays New York World printed the
following specials on the effect of the
Silver Repeal bill from manufacturing
centres:
FALL RIVER, MASS, Nov. 5.-All of
the mills In this city are running on full
time, but operatives are working under
reduction of wages varying from to
16 per cent.
The reduction was the result of the
depression, coupled with an imaginary
fear on the part of some leading manu-
facturers that Congress would make
radical changes in the tariff.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 5.--The
general business situation here has i'm
proved the past month. The smaller
concerns have felt the revival more
quickly than the large mills, and have
increased their help.
Manufacturing jewellers and jobbers
report substantial increase in orders,
and many are running to their fullest
capacity. The textile situation is dis
couraging. Agent Metcalf of the closed
Wanskuck mills, says there is no i'm
mediate prospect of resumption, as there
is no demand.
MANCHESTER, N. H., Nov. 5.-The
repeal of the Silver Purchasing law has
had the effect of restoring confidence
here, and plans are being made for a
speedy resumption of all sorts of manu-
featuring. A general improvement in
business is apparent on all sides.
The mills of the big Amoskeag cor
poration, employing 5000 men, which
were closed several weeks ago, are now
running full time. Agent Herman f.
Straw says he feels confident that the
mills will run steadily and that nearly
all Of the old employees will return to
work. Manchester's print works and
mills have all resumed.
Agent G. D. McDufflo looks to con-
tinuance of work. ALL the 5000 en-
ployes of these corporations are now
ployed. The Otzendam hosiery mill is
the only one in the State now running
on half-time, but it will soon resume in
full.
Troy, N. Y, Nov. 5.-Manufacturer
here believe that before many weeks
there will be as much activity in indus
trial circles as ever before. Their bust
ness, they say, has improved every day
since the silver question was settled.
The impression is gaining ground here
also that the tariff will not be meddled
with to the disadvantage of manufao-
turers, and that the administration
means to look after their interests at all
times. The result is that producers are
making ventures with more confidence
and the employment Of labor is rapidly
increasing.

The Special Session Ends---yoorheet
Makes Prediction.


Makes Prediction.
The extra session Of Congress was ended
Friday. Both houses adjourned finally
ct 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The filibustering in the House Friday
afternoon defeated the Urgency Deficiency
bill AL the joint resolution to continue
the SESSION employees through the recess.
The New York and New Jersey Bridge bill
shared the same fate, but it was because
the conferrees had agreed that they would
not meet to settle the differences between
the two houses until December, and in the
meantime the bill loses none of the rights
that have been given 1t.
Senator Voorhees,, who has been the
manager of the Silver Repeal bill in the
Senate, said Friday that the adjourn
ment of the g-to-beremembered extra
session brought with 1t great sense Of re.
lief. I'VE adjourn with quiet business
circles and fair degree Of restored conf
dence prevailing in all parts of the
country. 1t will, of course, take time for
the various business pursuits to fully
recover from the overwhelming financial
shock and depression which have affected
the country for the last six months, but
the signs of healthy improvements are
now visible on every hand. With careful
fair and honest revision of tariff taxation,
predict that we will enter upon solid
and lasting career of prosperity for the
laboring and producing masses of every
section of our beloved and glorious Union"

A BoMs ON rHE BRIDGE.
Startling Story Printed by a Londo
Paper, Hut Which is Doubted.

Startling Story Printed by a London
Paper, but Which is Doubted.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-The Globe to-day
prints q story of an alleged attempt to
blow up the Westminster bridge, In
view of the fact that the Globe is Con-
servative organ, and that strenuous at
tempts are being made to secure the
release of the Irish political prisoners,
there are not lacking persons who claim
that the Globes story should be taken
cum grano sails.
According to the Globes story, a
waterman employed to attend the work
men who are employed on temporary
scaffolding beneath the bridge found on
Wednesday last large parcel wrapped
in brown paper on ledge on the centre
buttress. The waterman, thinking that
perhaps he had found something valu-
able, took the parcel into his boat and
made an examination of It, He was hor-
rifled to find that it contained a conicle
iron bomb, weighing abutseven pounds.
In the side of the bomb was hole,
through which the waterman saw that
the bomb contained substance with
which he was not familiar,
The waterman immersed the bomb in
a bucket and ut once landed and took it
to Scotland Yard. The officials there
were thrown into a state of consterna-
ton when they heard the waterman's
story, and began al investigation.

HoOTTEN AM0No THE LEFT.


which the Senate Did Not Act.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Though there
were about 90 combinations when the
Senate adjourned yesterday there were
still over hundred nominations which
remained unconfirmed. Among these
were the nominations of Mr.. Horn
blower, to be justice of the Supreme
Court; Mr.. Preston, to be director Of the
mint; G. j. b. Taylor of Kansas, to be
minister to Bolivia; Isaac Wootten of
Delaware, to be agent at the Nevada
Indian Agency in Nevada, and Hope
Elias, to be collector of the Western
district of North Carolina.
There has been more or less objection
to each of these, which accounts for the
delay in taking them up and the ulti-
mate failure to confirm. Wootten is the
only other Of these mentioned whose
nomination has been reported by the
committee having it in charge. An
effort was made to have his nomination
considered, but at no time during the
session. was there quorum present
when his name arose, and single OBJ
lection was sufficient to prevent con-
sideration. This objection was made.
The same state Of affairs prevented the
confirmation of Preston.
1t is said the President will issue
temporary commissions, good until the
next meeting Of Congress, to all who
failed OF confirmation by the Senate.

FAILED TO PAY ms TAILOR.
While Colonel j. Hampton Hoge Was Re-
called From the Consulshlp of Annoy.

VI Ahibys
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The Post says an
unpaid tailor's bill is the immediate cause
OF the recall of Colonel j. Hampton Hoge,
appointed United States consul at Annoy.
at a salary of s., 800 and fees amounting to
about $1,000.
Shortly after his appointment Colonel
Hoge, ii is said, went to fashionable
Washington tailor and ran his face and
position for several expensive suits of
clothes. When the tailor failed to receive
compensation for the clothes he had fur
nished, he filed charges at the State De-
partment against the consul OF conduct
unbecoming gentleman and Indicative of
disposition which would not reflect
credit upon the American government.
Consul Hoge would have preferred the
nttorneyship for the western district of
Virginia, but the Virginia delegation had
fixed upon some one else, and he was ac-
cordingly assigned to the Chinese consul
late in Annoy to succeed DIR. Bedloe, the
well-known Philadelphia litterateur and
raconteur.
Mr.. Hoge's delay in moving on his new
field OF duty was another cause of dissatls-
faction at the department.

The vein was uncovered at depth of IL

gold are visible, perfect in shape and one
fourth of an inch along the edge, upon
