TAR AND FEATHERS
Would Stick Well 10 knayes Who Rung In
Alarm Last Night

A false alarm was rung in at 80 A. M.
from box Go, at the corner of Sewall and
Capitol streets. 1t was done by two "smart
alexis who we're riding in buggy. Watch.
man Breen at the State House cav them
stop and ring in the alarm, after which they
drove down Sewall street.
An accident happened in connection with
this affair that was bat trifle removed
from being fatal. When Driver McCaus-
land of Cushnoc Hose team was taking the
blankets from the horses preparatory to
returning something frightened the horses,
which sprang forward. McCsusland, in
attempting to stop them, was dragged some
little distance, and finding that he was I'M
able to check them turned them into the
ditch. This threw three men from the car
riage, bruisiug and Earring them, and Nc
Causland was knocked down. Before he
could regain bis feet the horses were on the
mad run down the new Hallowell road with
a son of Driver McCausiand on the seat
lie attempted to get the reins, but finding
that impossible, leaped. 1t is marvellous
that he received no permanent. injury. and
had he remained on his seat when few
rods further along the carriage was tipped
over and two wheels smashed he probably
would have been killed.

A PARTISAN FIGHT,
Says Mr.. Whitney, But why is He Not within!
to lake Part in II?

New YORK, Oct. 8.-Chairman Hinckley
IF the Democratic state committee gave
nut, tonight, VIM. c. Whitney's letter de
clining Mr.. Hinckley's invitation that Mr.
Whitney act as chairman or as member OF
the Democratic campaign committee. Tn,
letter is dated Roslyn. Il. l., Oct. 6. Mr.
Whitney says bis refusal to accept the in
vitation does not arise from indisposition to
assist in the campaign. He desires to
remain in the ranks. He states
that as he has been on other occasions op-
posed to Senator Hill he wishes to express
himself emphatically as feeling deep in.
terest in the success of the Democratic
nominees and as desiring to give hearty and
unqualified support of their candidacy. Mr.
Whitney thinks there has never been a time
when Democrats ought to sink personal
differences and stand together for principles
md the perpetuity of their party as
now. This state is the keystone of the
entire political situation. Defeat here will
mean encouragement for Democrats and
encouragement for Republicans throughout
the country. Mr.. Whitney refers to
disaffec,io in the party ranks and
says that many feel that the man.
qgement Of the state organization
has been narrow and arbitrary
but, he remarks, This is a partisan fght
and the Republican machine is not less
narrow than the Democratic one. If the
more liberal Republicans had shown dis
position to cooperate on a non-partisar
basis with the anti-machine Democrats the
situation might be different, but they have
lone exactly the reverse. There are person:
he remarks who are inclined to oppose Sen
ator Hill on the theory that this campaign
will have an important bearing on the can
lidate of the party two years hence, but ht
suggests that 1896 may safely be left te
take care of itself,

TREASURY CONDITION
Most Unsatisfactory and Demands AIKEN
ton.

WASHINGTON, Oct Tie condition o.
the treasury is again becoming serious
enough to demand the attention OF the
President upon bis return from Massacau
sets.
The rush Ct imported goods which wal
exp CT d to load the treasury with lmPof'
dutie is not taking place to any consiaer
able extent, and receipts for OCTOBER, a.
the present rate, will run about So 900. OoC
short of expenditures.
Meanwhile, the rate Of foreign exchange
is rising in New York, and rise OF frac'
lion of a cent will carry it to the point
shere it becomes profitable to ship gold.
The gold reserve, in spite of careful
nursing, has reached only $50, 1853 ,5l4. and
the amount of goll received at the Ne"
York custom house during the whole Of
Oc'ober has been S645.

stood todsy at $l20, 3lG, 104, is large enough
To stand monthly loss of $4,000, 600 OF
80 600 900 for two or three mouths to come,
but if such loss should be accompanied BY
gold exports drawn from the treasury by
presentation of legal tender notes for re-
demption, prompt action to protect the
,ubli: credit might become necessary.
The customs receipts for Friday, the last
lay reported, were only $2Ss ,554, about
half the normal amount, and the internal
revenue receipts were only $226 Cpl. The
total receipts from customs for the first
six days of October have been 81 6S4 US
