Capt. Stiles to Answer Charges of Fraud

Capt. Stiles to Answer Charges of Fraud In
Cherokee strip Opening.
WASHINGTON, Oct. An order has
been made by Secretary Lamont for
the trial of Capt. Daniel +. Stiles,
United States army, retired The or
der is the outcome of a little war being
made upon this officer by residents of
Oklahoma City through Delegate
Flynn, and incidentally is connected
with the opening up of the lands to
settlement in Oklahoma territory.
Capt Stiles is charged with fraud in
using his position while in command of
the troops near Oklahoma City last
year to secure control of some of the
best sites in the territory opened up to
settlement to the exclusion of others,
who were forced to take their
chances in securing homesteads. An
other charge is that he purchased
government buildings and other prop
erty at the time of the breaking up of
the camp which he commanded by col
fusion with the auctioneer, at prices
much below their actual value. These
charges are made by citizens of
Oklahoma City, who claim that Capt.
Stiles has grown wealthy as result of
questionable practices in connection
with the matter named. The war de-
partment has been Investigating the
charges for some time past, but the evil
dence has been found to be rather con-
ficting, and in order to get right down
to the bottom of the matter it was de-
cided to-day to order court martial
for Capt. Stiles trial

much curious crossing Of paths that
touched.
A New York woman reached her
home on one of Chicago's avenues at
late dinner hour on the evening of her
arrival in the city. Inquiring of her
hostess for board in the vicinity, she
was directed to either of two houses
about equally distant across the street
from where she was. Some persons
coming out from one turned the scale
in its favor as indicating the dining
hour not yet over. Crossing and secur-
ing an audience with the lady of the
house. she was told that there were no
further permanent accommodations at
her table, but if they would put up with
the end of dinner she and her party
could have that meal and then seek
board elsewhere.
Tired and hungry, the travellers glad
ly acquiesced, and in the course of the
meal the hostess commented on the
fact that the strangers were from New
York, saying: Il was born and brought
up to young womanhood in a little
town in the interior of that state,
though for thirty years 1 have lived
west"
A casual inquiry as to the name o
the place disclosed it to be the boyhood
home of the newcomers husband and
the summer staying place for many
years of the family.
Eager questions and answers brought
out further that the Chicago landlady
had been a teacher in the village school
and had taught her guests husband his
letters at five years OF age. 1t is need
less almost to add that these discoveries
changed the former dictim of no room
and delightfully."- quartered the party
by means known to ingenious landla-
dies at private table for their stay in
Chicago-all through the merest thread
of chance.
A similar development of another
Chicago trip relates to New Yorker
and his wife who were fellow-guests at
a White mountain hotel ten years ago
with st. Paul banker and his wife A
pleasant acquaintance was formed, and
on parting the ladies exchanged cards,
mutually expressing a warm desire
that they might meet again, though
fearing that it might be only another
case of congenial persons drifting to-
gether by accident and never seeing
each other afterward
A few weeks ago the oldest son of the
New York family, who had been with
his parents in the White mountains,
then boy. now a young man just en-
tering Yale, went to visit friends in the
Red River valley of North Dakota His
mother thought it would be pleasant
fer him to call and pay his respects to
the ST. Paul long-ago acquaintance as
he p assed through their city.
She accordingly wrote to inquire If
they were at home. and just as she her.
self was starting far the fair she re-
ceived reply from the lady. dated in a
New England town where she had been
spending the summer. saying she was
about returning west and would be in
Chicago the next week She gave her
Chicago address, and the house proved
to be directly in the rear of the one

Further along, on the north side OF
the Plaisance, we come to the Persian
theater, which of late has figured prom
inently in the law courts. Several in
junctions have been served upon the
proprietors by the worlds fair officials
on account of the Objectionable nature
of the performances of the dancing
girls at this theater. The trouble con-
tinued for some time, but must have
been satisfactorily settled, as the dances
are still given, though perhaps in a
somewhat modified form.
These dances, which have gained for
the Persian theater great deal of no
toriety, are represented to be a survival
of an ancient religious rite, but it is
the opinion of many who have seen
them that they are a vulgar exhibition
intended only to cater to the depraved
tastes of certain element, and to draw
the dollars from the pockets of the NOR
bidly curious. In any event these ex-
hibitions are drawing large crowds and
the enterprising foreigners are reaping
a rich harvest of American coin.
Further along the Plaisance are the
Turkish, Chinese and other theaters,
each presenting rare attractions in
their respective styles. There is also
circus, giving performances by trained
animals, and several cycloramas, each
and all of which are doing a thriving
business.
There is hardly moment of the day
or evening that the Midway is not
packed with people. 1t is sight worth
going round the world to see. Every
body seems to be good natured and
happy, and although there are frequent
collisions one seldom sees anything like
a display of i'll temper.

Lotion for Painful SMeIIinpa,

No matter in what disease they may
occur, or what their cause may be, the
heat and pain of infiammations and

Mothers and housekeepers should note
that this is included in their list of
handy household remedies: One-half
ounce of sugar of lead, one-balf gallon
of water and one-half pint of alcohol
should be thoroughly mixed together,
and kept in a stone jug ready for use.
When il is to be used shake well, then
saturate cloths with it, and lay over
the affected parts. When they become
dry and warm, simply moisten them
with small quantity of the lotion.

Terrible state of Affairs In the south
American City-The Bombardment Con-
tinued.
MoyTEvIDEO, Oct 6.-Word has been
received from Rio Janiero that the
bonn bardment of the city by the rebel
fleet under Mellos, which was begun
yesterday, has continued without ces-
sation all day. Shot and shell from
the ships are being thrown into the
city, while the shore batteries manned
by Peixoto's forces are returning the
fire of the squadron. The greatest
alarm prevails in the Brazilian capital,
which is in an absolute state of panic.
Business has been entirely sus-
pended. Banks have been closed, the
bourse is utterly deserted, work shops
and railways have shut down. Pro-
posals have been made to prolong all
commercial transactions and every
man, woman and child who can do so
is fleeing from the city. Frightful out
RACES are being perpetrated by
Peixoto's soldiers, who are COM
hitting murder and robbery and
apparently are beyond all restraint
They have killed many defenseless per-
sons and carried on a general plumber
ing raid on stores and private residences
Their excuses have increased to feroc-
ity during the panic caused by the
commandment of the city. Neither man,
woman, child nor property is safe from
hese lawless bands.
Opportunities for their crimes are
offered by the course pursued by their
leaders. Squads of armed soldiers are
securing the city in search of recruits
Men of all classes are being pressed in
Peixotos service on all sides A de-
tachmeBt of Peixoto's troops known
20 be in sympathy with Mellos
nave been thrown into jail All of
che English residents of the city have
been warned by the British minister to
escape from Rio Janeiro, as the fleet
has given notice of its intention to con-
tinue bombardment.
Postal facilities have been suspended,
and Peixoto is searching all the mail
that enters and leaves the city. Peix-
otto is blamed for drawing the fire of
the fleet upon the town and the sympa-
thies of the entire city are with
Mellos. Peixoto opened fire from the
shore batteries on the fleet which re-
piled to his guns Commanders of the
foreign men-of-war in the harbor re-
main inactive. Decisive battles are
momentarily expected in the vicinity
of the cities of Rio Grande do Sui,
Porto Allegro and Pelotas.

WORSE AND WORSE.
The Gulf Hurricane Resulted In an Awful
List of Fatalities.


NEW ORLEANS, Oct. ct is fair to
estimate that between 1,200 and 1.500
people persisted in the storm of Mon
day. The property loss will be several
million dollars. There were 500 or 400
crafts engaged in the oyster and fish
industry, and half of these have been
wrecked, turned bottom up or sunk
The result is a severe blow to the oyster
business, with scarcity of oysters for
part of the season at least in prospect.
The official census of Cheniere in 1890
showed population of Loaf, and the
officials of the parish say there was
l ,500 just before the storm. The CEN
sus of Grand Isle in 1890 showed 500
people. Just before the storm there
was 700 people on the island From
persons arriving on the Shell Beach
train it is learned definitely the loss Of
life at Pointe-a-la- Hache has now
reached eighty. Fifty-seven bodies
were found in the vicinity of Grand
Prairie and the old quarantine station.
the larger part of whom were Austrian
colonists, who were engaged in the
oyster business on the bayous near
Grand Prairie.
Grand island, with population of
700, lost twenty-four killed.
Cheneire Caminda, out of a popula-
ton of 1,sOO, lost 1850.
At Bayou Andre seventy-two deaths
out of seveDty-fve people is the result
of the storm.
At Bayou DUPONT ten are lost out of
seventy-fve, making a total of 1,755.
The majority of the bodies are
| washed out to sea or washed far into
the marsh. The bodies of the unfort-
unates recovered were found in every
high and dry inland, where it is sup
posed they were washed by the water
after death had relieved them of their
sufferings. Some of the dead were
buried under the wreckage of houses
which evidently collapsed without
warning. The bodies were mutilated
and torn in a most horrible manner.
Arms and legs had been pulled from
the bodies and were soon either
floating in the pools in the depressions
in the fields or lodged on an elevation
where the water had cast them when
the waves receded.
Collins were out of the question, and
the bodies not claimed by relatives or
friends were inferred in trenches, four
or five bodies being placed in one
trench. Dead bodies are floating around
on every side and the situation is I'M

A Widow Loses Her Diamonds.

Boston, Oct. 6.-Mrs. b. R Fiske, a
wealthy Boston widow, landed from
the Cunard steamer Campania, in New
York, on August 90. She discovered
she had been robbed of $4,000 worth OF
diamonds and letter of credit for ESQ,
900. 1t now comes to light that when
the steamer was being renovated, the
leather bag in which the jewels and
letter of credit had been locked was
found hidden in the lady's lavatory and
that the thief did not unlock it, but
cut it open at one end, removing the
diamonds The letter of credit was
still in the bag undisturbed.

dissolves readily in warm water, and
add little of it to the starch, to give
the desired tinge. After starching,
run them several times through the

submitted an amendment to the bill re-
pealing the silver purchasing clauses
of the act of 1890. 1t strikes out the
Voorhees, substitute, leaving the bill as
IL passed the house and then provides
for the free coinage Of silver of Amer
lean production. The secretary of the
treasury is authorized on the
first day of each month to
establish the seigniorage to be charged
for the following month, which is to be
the difference between the market
price of silver bullion and the minted
value after coinage. This seigniorage
is not to be coined, but is to be sold by
the secretary of the treasury for gold
to be used for the purpose of maintain
ing the parity of gold and silver" This
is the amendment which Mr.. Black
burn, in his recent speech, said he
would propose with a view of reaching
a compromise
