LETTER CARRIERS IN TROUBLE
Given ten Days TO Show Why they
Should not be Dismissed.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. ia special from
Washington, says that the mail which
left Washington last night for Chicago
carried notifications from the First AS
sistant Postmaster General to 173 letter
carriers in Chicago that charges have
been filed against them sufficient to
cause dismissal from the service and
they were given ten days to show cause
why they should not be removed. De
reelection of a most serious nature has
been discovered among the letter car
riers.
For period of twenty eight days, be-
ginning September 9th, large force of
special secret agents of the Postof1ice
Department conducted systematic
espionage of the Chicago letter carriers.
When the reports of the special agents
were all in it was found that 800 car
riers had been reported. The cases of
173 were serious enough to demand at
tention,

LITERARY WOMEN AS WIVES.

The divorce of Mrs. Amelie Rives-
Chauler from her husband for ''incom-
patibillty" brings to mind two generally
accepted truths. The one is that dis.
tinguished women seldom make success
of matrmony, and the other is that their
literary labors never amount to much
after the assumption of the marital re-
lation.
The excellent DR.. Johnson summed
up what may be called the masculine, or
negative, side by remarking: "sir, a
man is better pleased when there is a
good dinner on the table than when his
wife knows Greek"
There does not seem to be any lucid
reason for this state of affairs. Eccen-
tricity is not essential to genius nor is
marriage necessarily destructive of deep
thought. If the literary genius would
pay as much attention to his or her la
bors after marriage as before there
would be no reason for deterioration in
his or her work, and it is safe to say
there would be less opportunity for in
compatibility of temperament to assert
itself.
AS matter of fact the alleged incom-
patibility does not exist. Domestic dis
agreements do not occur more frequently
between married literary women and
their husbands than they do between
men and their wives who have no pur
suits beyond those of the household.
ANY person familiar with English and
American literature can readily call to
mind the names of scores of authoresses
whose marital experience was of the
happiest character.
1t is upon record that not only writers
of risky novels, but the most absurd
poetesses of passion, have settled down
into exemplary spouses. Miss Braddon,
the veteran Of the sensational novel, is
reputed to be, in her private capacity
and when she has scrubbed the ink off
her thumbs, British matron of the
straitest sect. 1t is true that the crimes
Miss Braddon deals with are battle, MUIR
der and sudden death, that she mostly
abstains from bringing bushes to the
cheeks of young persons. Moreover, while
the lady novelist Immediately in ques-
ton has proved to be incompatible"
with one husband, it is not clear that
she would be incompatible with another
There is nothing in the case that justifes
generalization upon either side, either
upon the side of the majority of male
persons who maintain the incompatibiIity
of literature and the domestic affections,
or upon the side of the minority who
maintain that reformed literary women
make the best wives.

The recent tour of Buffalo Bill through
the State recalls the fact that Ned Bunt-
line, the person who first introduced
Buffalo Bill to the world, has almost
dropped out of memory. Fifteen or
twenty years ago Ned Buntline's stories
of western frontier life we're the delight
of the young generation of all America.
They dealt with Indians and blood and
murder and robberies, terrible battles
and hairbreadth escapes, and had for
their heroes and chief characters such
personages as Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill
Pawnee Bill, Deadwood Dick and
several others who really existed
in the flesh but were for time
supposed to be merely people of the
story teller's vivid imagination. The
intense popularity of these stories sug-
gested to some smart manager that
these characters would prove drawing
card if taken on the road as a show.
Wild Bill o. B. Hickok) made a failure
as Snowman and went back west where
he was killed. Pawnee Bill is meeting
with Indifferent success on the road
Buffalo Bill (W. f. Cody made a great
hit from the start and his present show
is the evolution of Ned Buntlines
stories.

a still greater surprise by adopting free
silver resolution This would come about
as rear representing the sentiment of the
bankers as the other resolution did the

fesses His Awful Crimes.

the negro rapist captured yesterday near
Holly Springs, Miss, is now on his way
back to Baden, Tenn, the scene of his
crime, in custody of three officers. He
has confessed as to the offense, and also
says he ravished and murdered Mrs.
Wilcox, Of the same locality, some time
ago. La this case the woman's husband
went crazy from the shock and died in
an asylum. Ellis adds that he tried to
ravish young girl while passing into
Mississippi but did not succeed. He

CAPSIzE OF THE TRILBY.
Il Steam Yacht Goes DoaUn in the Han,
bur0 Canal.

a Steam Yacht Goes Doacn in the Ham
burg Canal.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May 25.-A steam
yacht bearing the name of Trilby was cap
sized in the Ham burg canal this morning,
and two or three men are thought to be
drowned. The accident occurred at the
M ichigan-street bridge, which is being re-
paired
The yacht was used as ferry to carry
workmen across the canal, and to-day
there was large crowd of Polish laborers
who sought conveyance to their work.
They clambered aboard like a flock of
sheep. The Trilby took three loads safely
across, but when she returned for the
fourth, the Poles made rush for her, and
all jumping together on one side, caused
her to lurch, capsize and go to the bottom.
For several minutes the canal was alive
with the half-crazy, terrified human
beings, few of whom could swim, but all
of whom were struggling and clutching at
each other or anything within reach.
Many climbed out on the dock, but others
were seen to sink and were not seen again.
The canal is being dregged.
1t seems impossible that all escaped, and
missing.
Graphing continued until noon without
being able to bring up any bodies. Harbor
Master Soper, who superintended the work,
now says that he believes that nobody was
drowned. The yacht has not yet been
raised.

THE DANWLLE LYNCH|NG,
Would Not Give Governor Alt
geld a Chance to Pardon
the Men.
How the Mob of Angry Farmers
Was Urged to Hang Two
Prisoners.

DANVILLE, ILL, May 25.-During the
lynching of John Halls and William Royce,
early this morning. Judge Bookwalter adj
dressed the mob. At first his words pro-
duced a telling effect, but the leaders, the
most prominent men in the county, re-
piled: Eyes, we know jury will convict
them and give them severe sentence, but
Governor Altgeld will pardon them.
'He recently pardoned three brutes you
sent up from Champaign County for
twenty years. If any other man than
Altgeld was Governor we would not lynch
these men. But we are determined that
he will never have chance to turn them
loose"
The mob was composed of 1000 people,
mostly farmers from near Indianola, where
Miss Barrett lived. In the Jail, before
being taken out, both the prisoners pro-
tested their innocence, although identified
by Miss Barrett's companion yesterday at
the jail.
CHICAGO. ILL, May 25.-Touching the
charge made by one of the speakers at the
double lynching at Danville, ILL.,, last night,
to the effect that the mob did not propose
to allow the law to take its course because
Governor Altgeld would pardon the guilty
man, the Governor, who is now here, said !:
This is simply the result of Republican
viliication, and part of the system of the
deliberate lying which has been carried on
for several years.
"The Republican newspaper men know
the records in the capitol at Springfield show
that have fallen far below the average of
pardons and combinations granted each
year, while the number of prisoners have
nearly doubled, and consequently the
number of applications for pardons has
nearly doubled"
The Governor then proceeded to quote
figures in substantiation of his statement.

SHEEP MEN ARE EXCITED.
There Is a Prospect of a
Lively Conflict in
Colorado.
Decide to Make Determined
Stand.

DENVER, CoLo., May 25.-A dispatch
from Steamboat Springs, Colo, says:
Excitement over sheep troubles con-
tinues undated. ]. G. Edwards, the rep
resentative of the Wyoming sheep men,
chief among whom is supposed to be Ex-
Governor Osborne of Wyoming, said before
his departure for the sheep territory that
he would not heed the advices of the citi-
zens' meeting held here on the Goth. He
added:
Il have a constitutional right to drive
my focks through Routt County, and I,
as we'll as those who are interested with
me, intend to do so at all hazards. We
only want to drive through simply so as to
get to a shipping point on the Rio Grande
Railway. There are men interested in this
movement who will see their privileges
protected if the entire West has to be
called out to preserve the law"
If the sheep men persist in their en-
deavor to occupy the Bear River Valley a
conflict will occur. Both sides are SEEM
ingly determined. At present the sheep
are held in California Park, the source of
Fertilization Creek, and it is not deter
mined, it is understood, by the cattle men
whether sheep will be removed into Wyo-
ming now or wait until their movement
decides that the sheep men will advance.

AS TO PUBLIC CHARITIES,
First Regular Session of the
National Conference in
Connecticut.
Some Interesting Reports Received
From Various States and
Territories.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 25.-The
first regular session of the National Con-
ference of Charities and Corrections began
at 8 O'Clock this morning. Robert Treat
Paine of Boston presided, and the meeting
was devoted to hearing reports from the
States. The first report was prepared by
Sheldon Jackson of Sitka, Alaska, but was
secretary of the conference. The report
dealt largely with the question of intern
perance, which prevails to an alarming
extent in the Territory.
John E. Coffin of Whittier, Cal, made a
report from the State officials. He said
the State Legislature had passed a COM
mendable act forbidding the sale of cigar
cites.
]. H. Gabriel, secretary of the State
Board of Charities of Colorado bore
especially hard on Colorado politics and
made the statement that the State is more
completely subject to the spoils system
than any other State in the Union He
said the work done there in aid of the
poor and helpless was excellent.
This ended the reading of reports for the
day and was followed by Dr. F. H. Wines
of Illinois, who read paper on the sub
ject, 1.-THE Ideal Function of State Boards
in the Economy of the Commonwealth.
Following this was symposium on

kinds of craft in the river, the noise being
simply deafening. This was continued
until the st. Louis had passed League
Island, the extreme low end of the city.
The st. Louis is the largest vessel that
has ever sailed down the D elaware River
She is in command of Captain William
G. Randle and crew of 400 men. who
sailed away with her to-day, will take the
big vessel on her initial voyage across the
Atlantic. 1t is expected that she will re-
main at sea from four to five days and
then go to New York. The contract of the
st. Louis calls for speed of twenty knots
an hour, but it is thought she will easily
surpass this speed.

ROW OVER A PAMPHLET.
Its Criticism of the Board of
Home Missions Not
ReliShed.
Now the Session Of the General
Presbyterian Assembly Is
Nearing a Close.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 25.-During the
sessions of the Presbyterian Assembly a
pamphlet has been circulated in which Dr.
Roberts of the Board of Home Missions
stated that the receipts of the board had
fallen off $4,000 during the month of
March, 1895. After the appearance of a
pamphlet in which the missionary boards
were criticized for their action in purchas-
ing site in New York and erecting a
building thereon at a cost of 81, $50. 900.
Mr.. McDougall of Cincinnati, the author
of the pamphlet, wrote letter to Modera-
tor Booth in which he demanded that a
retraction of the statement be made by DR..
Roberts.
A portion of the letter was read to the
assembly to-day, and the floor was given
to DR.. Roberts, who began to read paper
protesting against the entry of the letter
of Mr.. McDougall on the minutes of the
assembly, saying these allegations were
based on rumor, and that they were care
lessly drawn and too sweeping in their
implications, being unwise and unsup-
ported by facts.
A motion was made to table the matter,
but the moderator ruled that there was
nothing to lay on the table, this being only
question of privilege before the house.
Before this ruling there was a chorus of
questions, in the midst of which Elder
George E. Sterry of New York mounted
the steps of the platform. He attempted
to speak, but was unable to be heard on
account of the noise. The moderator in
terfered for his benefit, using his gavel and
saying in a loud voice, "You shall hear
Elder Sterry.'
When at last he was heard he said that
Mr.. McDougall had told him that the con-
nection of his pamphlet with the falling
off in contributions was false, since no COP
les went out before the first of April.
Just here DR.. Roberts stepped to the
front of the platform, waving copy of the
pamphlet above his head, shouting: s.This
was in my hands on the 25th of March.
Another commissioner had stated that he
received copy mailed from Cincinnati as
early as the middle of March, if not ear
lier.
Governor Beaver now took a hand in the
fray, moving that there be no record of
either letter, reply or discussion placed on
the minutes of the assembly.
This action was taken after some re-

Gus phrases and have pretended to be
adherents of bimetallism
1t has for that reason been difficult to
make the issue clear and distinct. Since
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle have now
pronounced for gold there is no longer any
need OF doubt or concealment.
A universal gold standard would be a
crime against mankind. Our Nation as a
debtor Nation would suffer much more
than England from gold standard.
The speaker here quoted from memo
rial presented yesterday to the Chancellor
OF the English Exchequer regretting the
growing agitation in favor of bimetalllsm.
The United States should take the lead
for the restoration of silver. The ratio of
16 to l is the most practicable ratio. Ii 1T
should be fixed differently, say "a to l, by
international agreement, it would contract

increase the debts of the world by millions
of dollars, and decrease the market value
of the property of the world.

enough to afford an unlimited market for

coinage would enrich the mine-owner.
"Mr. Cleveland and his associates seem to
be trying to run the Democratic party on
the financial policy OF John Sherman.
The agitation going on will soon be over
and the Democratic party will rest again
in undisturbed possession of Democratic
principles, and will present an almost un-
broken front in favor of the gold and silver
coinage of the constitution"
