Former Postmaster and Revenue Col.
lector of San Francisco Under Clouds.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-Two SEN
sational cases which have been in the
United States circuit court for the past
three years, but have been carefully
suppressed, became public yesterday.
They involve in charges of embezzle-
ment William ]. Bryan, postmaster of
San Francisco during President Cleve-
lands first term and at the last cleo
tlon Democratic candidate for assessor,
and John Quinn, who was internal
revenue collector under President
Harrison
e The charge against Bryan is that
between July Il, 1886, and June 13,
1890, he received $9,3 ,399 for stamps
which he did not turn into the United
States treasury.
There are two separate actions
against Quinn-one for the misappro-
priation of 81 ,635. 60 and the other for
the embezzlement of So, sos. 63 between
March 81, 1891, and November 13, 1893.
The complaint also states that Quinn
received moneys and did not honestly
pay over sums due to the government.
In defense of both men it is stated
that the shortages were caused by the
defalcations of subordinates. Each of
the deputies served term in prison
for embezzlement,

HOLD A LEADING LAWYER
FOR A RANSOM.
Unknown Parties Entice Him From His
Homo Into a Buggy and Drove Him to
an Unoccupied Cottage-Held Prisoner
for Two Days.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 28.-Octavius
O. Cottle, a prominent Buffalo lawyer,
was found bound and gagged in the
Rock this morning. He had been there
all night The police are mystifed.
Cottle said that Monday morning
man drove to his house and told him
that a man on Chenango street desired
to make a real estate deal with him.
He was driven to an unoccupied cot
tage in Baynes street, where, on en-
tering, he was seized by his guide and
another man and gagged and bound.
Money was demanded and under
threats he was compelled to write
note to his wife saying that he was
under arrest in Fort Erie and asking
for''$2, 500.
The man with the buggy drove back
to Cottle's house with the note and
delivered it to Mrs. Cottle, who called
upon her son for advice. The latter
went out to confer with the man who
rode away.
Cottle was kept in bondage for two
days. He was handcuffed and dog
collar put around his neck and chained
to a chair in the cellar. A pitcher of
water was put near SO that by STOPPING
he could reach it and the only food
given to him was few crackers. Here
he remained while other efforts to ex-
tort money were made. At length the
bandits feared perhaps that they would
be trapped and took him up to the
ground floor There he was found.

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Opening Of the International Conve ntIon
at Chattanooga.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 28.-The
second international convention Of the
Epworth league opened to-day. All
OF the bishops of the Methodist church
are here except Bishop Vincent, who
will not be able to attend. Twenty
five special trains have already ar
rived with delegates from every state
and territory in the United States, and
5000 visitors are on the ground.
Five thousand more are on the way
and special excursions planned from
adjoining states will swell the number
of visitors to at least $4,000 Among
the most notable visitors may be men
toned Bishops Hendricks, Hargrove,
Galloway, o. P. Fitzgerald and Merrill,
DR.. Edwin Schell, secretary Of the
league; DR.. John Potts of Canada and
DIR. Steel, chairman of the general
committee.
Headquarters have been opened for
the various state and conference de-
partments and rallies of these depart
ments are arranged in addition to the
stated programme.
The conference formally opened an
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon in the bir
tent which has a seating capacity Of
10000, chair provisions for 1000 and
reserved seats for $50 guests and seats
for 100 representatives of the press.
The huge tent was crowded. A song
service lead by chorus of !, 200 voices,
started the great convention to work.
The opening remarks were made bv
J. A. Patten, representing the Chat
tanooga committee. Addresses of well
come were also delivered by Mayor
George w. Ochs and the Rev. j. P.
McPherrin. Fraternal responses were
given by Bishop E. r. Hendricks of
Kansas City, representing the Meth
odist Episcopal church, South, Bishop
s. M. Merrill of Chicago for the North
ern Methodist Episcopals, and the Rev.
DR.. John Potts of Canada for the
Canadian delegates. DR.. Steele chair
man OF the general committee, then
took charge.
The most significant feature of the
conference is the absence of sectional
and denominational feeling and the
spirit of unity text prevails. Many Of
the most noted visitors are unhesita-
tingly in favor of wiping out the lines
that separate the Southern and North
ern divisions of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. This will probably not be
discussed in the conference, but it is
frequently made the topic of converse
tion in fraternal gatherings.
