Efforts to Get the Diamond Thief
Out of Jail.
st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 26.-That Of
fers of money were made to the Of
ficials of the ST. Louis police depart
ment for the purpose of freeing James
C. Barton, alias Jimmy Bryant, the
diamond thief, is acknowledged by
those officials Whether this same
sort of an offer had anything to do
with his well nigh successful attempt
to escape with six other prisoners
from the criminal court cage last Sat
urday is a matter which is being in
vestigated by the grand jury. Consid-
cradle comment is being made on the
fact that several efforts were made to
get Bryant released on bond, and that
Chief Desmond was told by Bryant's
wife that he would lose nothing if he
would agree to let Bryant be released.
Another thing commented on is that
Deputy Sheriff Annis, who was in
charge of the cage when the escape
was planned and executed, is a bro
of Hugh Brady, who was
the most active man in trying to get
Bryant released. Mr.. Annis denies
that the escape was due to careless
ness on his part. Hugh Brady says
that he tried to have Brady released
at the request of a Chicago friend, and
displays a letter and telegram in sup
port of his statements. Bryant has a
big political pull in Chicago, and it is
said that these friends were the ones
to advance money to indemnify the
bondsmen in case Bryant could be re-

HER LOVERS HORSE.
Miss Hunt Placed in Possession of
the Charger Her Affianced Was
Riding When He Met his Death.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 26.-During
the battle at Pine Ridge, S. D., some
years ago between soldiers of the United
States army and the Sioux Indians Lieu
tenant Casey was killed. At the time the
brave officer met his death he was lead
ing a small army of troops on the enemy.
A rifle ball ended his career and he fell
from the handsome black charger that
was carrying him.
He was buried with military honors
and the faithful animal was captured
and returned to his stable. Lieutenant
Casey was engaged to be married to the
daughter of Colonel Hunt, United States
army, now resident of Los Angeles. 1t
was decided by the military officials to
dispatch the charger to Miss Hunt, and
arrangements were completed short
time ago for the transfer of the animal
from Fort Keogh, Mont. The Northern
Pacific Railroad company delivered the
animal to the steamer Pueblo, and in
turn he was landed here. The charger
was taken on board the steamer Coos
Bay, and will be turned ever to Miss
Hunt.
Since the day that Lieutenant Casey
was killed, not single person has ever
mounted the charger. Accompanying the
faithful horse were an orderly, sergeant
and groom.
Transportation was gratuitously given
by the railroad and transportation COM
panies.

of President Cleveland, and one of the
foremost men at the Syracuse convention,
said:

against him has two counts. First, /
maintain that from March T. 1893, he has
done everything he could to harass, annoy

responsible for the offense in the state of
New York, for which Judge Maynard was
tried and convicted last year"

If Senator Hill stands on and endorses the
financial plank of the platform, the banks
must elect him. OF course, the question
of Mr.. Cleveland's attitude toward Mr.
Hill will be an all-important one. Mr.
Cleveland has been suffering from malaria
this summer, ! believe. The only specific;
US, is bitters. If Mr.. Cleveland swallows
the New York nomination, the pill ought
to be bitter enough to cure the most
chronic case of malaria

powerful Tong society, whose MEM
bers are commonly known as high
binders, has decreed that the law of
the state of Missouri shall not be en-
forced in the case of the attempted
murder of Lee John by Fung Lou. An
agreement written in the strange
hieroglyphics of the Chinese language
was drawn up. The compact specifies
that Fung Lou shall pay stipulated
sum to Lee John for a number of
years, and that Lee John shall eXcor-
else and permanently remove the devil
which he put in Flung Lou. The crime
which Flung Lou committed is a fell
ony by the code of this state, but the
Tong would rather settle the matter
itself, and it seems that the police are
perfectly willing Tor the society to do
so. The agreement made between the
two Cinnamon resulted in revealing
some facts concerning the organiza-
ton of Cinnamon in st. Louis.

NO RAW SUGAR.

Philadelphia, Sept 26.-The Frank
lin, Knight and Spreckles refineries, in
this county, operated by the Sugar
trust, will shut down next Saturday.
In addition to these, the Mcmahon re-
fnery, which is not controlled by the
trust. will also smut down. The shut
ting down of the refineries will throw
some $500 men out of work. There is
said to be lack of raw sugar, as the
present crop is about exhausted and
the new crop does not come in before
the first of the year This condition
of affairs is caused by the enormous
production during the months of June,
July ard August. 1t is the opinion of
the sugar men that the shutting
down of the refineries will not tend
to advance prices.

AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

At $50 o'clock last evening, while
seated on the porch of his residence
on Maple street, Mr. L. Ellie, dry
goods merchant of the West Side,
was shot and mortally wounded,
The ball took effect in the abdomen,
and, passing through, lodged just
under the skin Of the back, result
ing in death four hours later.
Physicians were Immediately
summoned and everything possible,
done to alleviate the wounded man S
suffering, but to no avail, For
some time after the shooting in
tense excitement prevailed as it
was thought the shooting was an
act of an assassin. All doubts were
set at rest, however, by the ap-
pearance of policeman Edgar
Rhodes, who stated that he had
fired on Il vicious dog. one hundred
and fifty yards away, and feared
that a glancing shot from his pistol
had inflicted the wound upon Mr..
Ellie.
Mr. Rhodes expressed deep re-
gret over the occurrence, which,
according to his statements, how
ever unfortunate and much to be
deplored, left him entirely free from
censure 1t appears that on leav-
i,g his gate he was attacted by Il
vicious dog, and was forced to draw
his pistol and fire at the brute, 10

tnat the ball must have glanced, as
he took especial care to aim low,
Deeply as the unfortunate acci-
dent is to be deplored, no one
thinks of attaching blame to the
officer, who regrets the occurrence
sincerely and appears very much
shocked by the unwilling and un-
witting part taken by him therein,

A NEGRO SHOT.

At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
while attempting TO arrest George
Downing, a troublesome negro,
for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, Officer W. E. Casey,
of the East side, was forced to use
his pistol, in self defence. With
the result that Dowing now lies in
a critical condition, with a bullet
wound through his arm and in his
right side.
The details of the shooting, as
obtained by us, from disinterested
parties, show clearly that the ofiic-
er was fully justified in the act,
which was done, solely, in defence
of self 1t seems that the negro
was drunk and cutting up near
the Iron Mountain coal schute, on
the lower end of Broad street, when
officer Casey was notified and called
upon to arrest him.
On arriving at the scene of dis
turbance Mr., Casey approached
the negro and ordered him to CON
slider himself under arrest. In
stead of submitting to the officers
command, Downing drew a knife and
made 4 vicious attack upon his cap
tor Casey made several attempts
to strike the knife from the
hand of his assailant, at the same
time warning him to desist. Find
ing himself unable to disarm the
desperate negro, and seeing his own
life in peril, the officer was compell-
ed to fire on his adversary, with the
result above stated
The above facts are fully borne
out by eye witnesses to the shoot
ing, who all concur in absolying
the officer from the slightest blame
in the matter, Immediately after
the shooting Mr. Casey surrenered
himself to a sherifls officer, to an
swer any charge that might be
brought against him. The wound
ed negro lies at his home, in a crit
ical condition, attending physicians
pronounce his wounds as very dan
gerous, with chances against re-
coyery. This is the fist trouble, of
serious nature, Mr. Casey has had,
during several years service on the
police force, in which time ne has
established the reputation of being
one Of the best officers the city has
ever had.
