clemenceau Promotes William.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The Paris
correspondent Of the Times says
that M. Clemenceau, though never
a great believer in the Franco
Russian alliance, admits that
Crostadt::s reception ensured peace.
He says that great moral influ-
ence will now be lacking in the
balance:of the powers. Emperor
William, he adds, passes from
second to first rank, for the young
Car cannot be counted on to ad-
dress him with authority. Political
needs are stronger than human
wills and therefore it is hoped
that Car Nicholas will continue
the policy of peace and friendship
for France.

Awful Electric Explosion.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-There was
a terrible accident at the plant of
the Edison Electric Light company.
By an explosion Jerome Case, OF
Newport, was so badly scalded that
he bears no human resemblance
whatever. Dean Blackburn, col
ored fireman, was fatally injured.
Anthony Pinzarro, an Italian Ia
borer, was badly scalded, but saved
his life by closing his eyes and lips
firmly. The officers OF the Edison
company refuse to give the details

tion of the city was in total dark

He Swindled Boldly.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Henry g..
Wynne, a son-in-law Of the late
Gov. McEnery, OF Louisiana, whose
swindling exploits through many
countries are known, has been sem
fenced to six years and six months
in prison. Mrs. Annie Oliphant
came to this country in 1893 and
met Wynne through mutual
friends. He learned she had money
and wanted her to invest in the
company he was then with. Sub
sequently he asked her to "come in
on the ground floor" in a new con-
Germ, the Manhattan Wrecking,
Diving and Tightening company.
Mrs. Oil plant subscribed for fif-
teen shares OF stock at 500 share,
and gave Wynne a check for $4,000
on Drexel, Morgan & Co. Wynne
was to return the balance but Mrs.
Oliphant got only $500. The new
company was to have offices at No.
81 South street, and Mrs. Oliphant
visited the rooms. They were
empty. There were other indict-
ments against Wynne for similar
offences. Wynne is civil en-
gineer and travelled through
Europe as a representative of the

The Bryant Centennial.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 3.-The Brook
Ign Institute will this evening
celebrate the anniversary Of the
bir tn of William Cullen Bryant.
This is not the only celebration of
Bryant's birth in this hundredth
year after that event. A celebration
was held last August at his birth
place in Cummington, Mass,
which was attended by many we'll
known people in the literary
world. That date was chosen
rather than the actual anniversary
because it would have been a haz-
ardous thing to undertake a cele-
BARTON on any large scale in such
a remote place as Cummington in
the first week of November.

Agitation In Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3.-The
issue OF the manifesto by the party
of the peoples rights has led to
numerous arrests. Lists Of persons
to whom copies were addressed
through the post have been handed
to the police. Nearly all the uni

Moscow and st. Petersburg are

Large numbers Of copies Of the

secretly. From what is learned
from many different quarters, the
modest and reasonable spirit Of the
document is producing a grave i'm

COWARD WHITE CAPS.
ORGANIZED BAND BEING UNMAsKED
IN TENNESSEE.
They Whipped Helpless Women, Old
Men and Committed Many
Murders.


Much excitement prevails in Sewer
county over the arrest of several
prominent people, charged with
being White Caps. Ten days ago
White Caps were waylaid, while on
a midnight whipping expedition
and several Of them were killed.
Since then, it is said, that Isaac
Brown and his two sons have told
the sheriff everything, including
the names of over 100 citizens, who
belong to the organization. Those
now under arrest are: William
Brown, Jesse Brown, Il. ID. Davis,
Bates Davis, Horace Davis, .. L..
Montgomery, Lon. Carnes, John
Norton, Arthur Seaton, John Sea-
ton, William Trammel, Henry Nc
MILAN and William Ware. The
three Browns, it is said, will turn
states evidence at the trial. The
other seven under arrest gave
bond. They will appear before
the Sewer county grand jury
in about two weeks. AS fast
as s efficient evidence accumulates
the others whose names have been
secured, will be arrested.
About two years ago the Sewer
county white caps first appeared.
Ten masked men called about
midnight at a house in the second
district where four women lived
alone, dragged the women from
their beds and whipped them on
their naked bodies with hickory
switches. The women were nearly
killed. The white cappers had
given them notice that unless they
left that section in the period of
ten days they W, uld do the whip
pin g over again. Since this first
affair and up to the present time
there have been about fifty people
whipped in Sewer county by this
masked gang Of midnight marau-
ders. On one occasion they whip.
PED an aged man and wife, because
it was said that some member
of the family had done some.
thing which they did not like.
The three Browns say that this
was the only reason. Out Of fifty
who have been whipped by the
gang in two years, two-thirds were
women, many of them aged and
helpless. Seven or eight deaths
have been caused by the brutal
ties VI the gang, two Of these being
their own members so that the ar.
rested men will have to answer to
the crime of murder as well as
assault and battery and white cap
ping.
According to the statement OF
the three Browns the gang called
itself the "Grave Yard Host"
Every member took an iron clad
oath, the substance of which was
that before they would reveal any
thing of the workings Of the gang,
they would suffer their Threats to
be cut. Another provision OF the
oath was that il any brother was
arrested, the others would release
him at all hazards.

HIDDEN IN TALLow.
Cartridges for the Cuban Revolution
Struggled In.

ohuBRAou III.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Victor de
Lacova was arrested last night by
Deputy United States Marshal
Bostwick Oh complaint Of w. III. T..
Hughe g, secretary Of the New York
and Cuba Mail Steamship COM
pany, who charges de Lacova with
unlawfully sending cartridges on
the steamer Hulri for Havana.
United States Commissioner
Shields admitted him to bail in
the sum OF $4,000. 1t is thought
that the arrest of de Lacova may
lead to an explanation Of the cause
of the mysterious burning of the
Ward Line Steamship cOmpany's
steamer some time ago. On Aug.
8, 1894, nine barrels Of tallow were
shipped on hoard the Hulri and a
great number of cartridger were
concealed in the tallow for use in
the Cuban revolution.

Faust, of Ravine, exhibited a degree
of courage and skill few days ago

sex. Mrs. Faust was engaged at

of large black snake protruding from
a pile Of wood. She went to the house

a heavy charge and returned to the

a meerschaum is made is washed up
by the sea-" said c. e. Carter of Terre
Haute. Il suppose they got that idea
from the word, which signifies sea

from the fact that the clay, when dry,
will float on the surface Of the water,
and then appears like white, foamy
bubbles. This clay is taken from beds

The Athle tic New York Girl.

Many women in New York train with
as much perSistency as though they
were preparing for an athletic CON
test. They go through their work like
men, as far as the regime of their
daily life is concerned, and many of
them present all the exterior indica-
tionS of crack athletes. They are
slim, active, we'll Drowned, without
plumpness, and quick and energetic
in their movements. Some Of them
are crack tennis players, bowlers and
golf players, but the majority of them
go in for horses, and spend two OF
three hours every day in the park. II
is a passion with them, and they are
given over to riding as absolutely as
though they had no other object in
life. A troop of these enthusiastic
horsewomen may be seen any day
along the eastern bride path of the
park, and as most of them are of eX
cellent social position, they are &C
quainted with each other so there il
a good deal of quiet badinage ant
| chatting going on all the time. A few
of them are accompanied by grooms
| but the majority ride unattended.
Persons who fancy that the horse:
| simply amble through the park fol
| forms sake would be very much sur
| prised if they saw some of the fas
and reckless riding, impromptu racine
and headlong, down-hill gallops of th'
women. They ride as hard and fas
as many men do when training dow1
their weight. and they go back to tht
stables and riding schools flushed ant
exhilarated. An hour OF more is O.
voted to lolling about the stables Oi
schools and drinking tea before tht
horsewOmen return to dress for thu
afternoon.-New York Sun.
