VIOLATED HIS DUTY.
son superintendent Charged
With Various Crimes.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 27.-John NJ.
Viewer and j. B. White of Plattsburg
have presented petition to Governor
Morton asking for the removal of SUI
perintendent of State Prisons Austin
Lathrop. The petition embraces thir-
teen counts and the charges are found
ed in part upon the evidence taken be-
fore an investigation committee APP
pointed by the lasSegislature. The pc
titioners claim that Mr.. Lathrop has
violated his duty in permitting the
warden of the Auburn prison to pur-
chase large quantities of beef for the
use Of the prison at prices much higher
than it could have been purchased for,
and that the beef was of poor and in
ferior quality; that such warden sold
a large quantity of scrap iron and
brass and a large number of horse
collars for much less than the prop
erty was worth; that the general led
ger book used at Auburn prison was
not properly kept for tine years 1892
and 1898; that subordinate officials at
Auburn have been permitted to draw
more than one salary each, contrary to
law that profits to the state from the
hollow ware and cast iron industries
amounting i'm 1892 to $4,000, were lost
to THE state and that many other IL
Irregularities have existed in the man
agement of the prison.

ABDUCTED!
THEORY OF THE DISAPPEARANCE
OF TWO GIRLS.
A Priest Charged With the Crime,
and He is Forced to Appeal to

Joe is mystified by the sudden disap-
pearance of two young girls without a
shadow of reason that can be found UNI
less they have been abducted, and that
is the general theory. The disappear
ance of which the police of late has
learneG is that OF Dora Kennedy, IA
years old, daughter of a workman in
the railroad shops. She has been ab-
sent from home since Wednesday
morning, but the authorities were not
informed until today. AS in the case
of Maud Steidel, who disappeared last
Sunday. the missing girl has dropped
out of sight as mysteriously as if swal-
lowed by the earth.
The friends of the families of the
girls and their near relatives hold that
only mad infaltuation for the priest
now charged with having induced
Maud Steidel to leave her home could
have been the cause of her disappear
ance, and that either a similar feel

gized, passed on. and then, curious
about her mistake, turned and saw the

She is said to have identified Durrant
as the young man she spoke to on that
afternoon.
Mr.. Doud would neither deny nor
confirm this. He said that die had
no motive for concealing anything.
The point with him was that the lady
might be mistaken and until she found
that she was not it was unnecessary
to bring her name before the police.

TILLMAN ONCE MORE.
"rm Not Afraid, Colonel, But I'm

I'm Not Afraid, Colonel, But I'm

COLUMBIA, S. c.. Sept. PA SEN
sational debate was had in the consti-
tutional convention over measure
proposed by Colonel Robert Aldrich of
Barnwell, that in all elections for men,
bers of the legislature, only white cit
liens should be eligible. He made an
ingenious argument to show that while
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the United States constitution
conferred the right of citizenship and
suffrage upon the negro, it did not
confer upon him the right to hold Of
flee.
Senator Tillman led the fight against
the measure, and said it would be both
foolish and idiotic to do such a thing.
A motion was made to postpone the
discussion till tomorrow but Senator
Tillman jumped to his feet and loudly
exclaimed: mo, don't let it so to the
world that we even took time to con-
slider such a thing. 1t would be a CO.
lossal blunder. 1t would ruin us. We
are now trying to devise a law to re-
strain white supremacy" he said, land

so idiotic as to jeopardize what we may
accomplish. The supreme court would

afraid that the United States army
would be sent to South Carolina, and
said he had stood before it once and

prairie fire is raging in the west half of
the Cherokee strip and is sweeping every

and now has a clean sweep for distance
of a hundred miles without anything to
stop it. Luckily. the country is thiniy

Eighth Ward Democrats.

A very successful meeting was held
at the Eighth Ward meeting house
last evening, the room being filled,
with people standing up inside% and
outside. The speeches were well re-
ceived and were applauded vigorously.
Mrs. Emily S. Richards was the first
speaker. She took up the history of
the Democratic and Republican, par
ties, comparing the views of Hamilton
and jefferson and showing principles
worked in practice.
DR.. Matte Hughes Cannon took UP
the tariff question, showing how it
arose, the history of its agitation and
the reasons for the stand the two par
ties take on it. She also advised the
women to take an interest and prepare
themselves for the duties that will be
imposed upon them next year.
d. r. Allen delivered an address in
which he spoke of the theory of pro-
lection and bounties and the injurious
effects on the country of the applica-
ton of either. He also compared the
record of the two parties on the silver
question, showing that the Democrats
held out the only hope of the remone-
tization of silver. He answered the
Republican mention about Cleveland,
by saying that the things the people
most object to about Cleveland are Re-
publican policies which he has adopt
ed. His stand on the silver question is
Republican. The issue of bonds has
been caused by the Republican laws.
The Democratic party has taken issue
with Cleveland on the silver question
and it is from the Republicans that
he obtains his chief support

Republican Harmony.

There is a war cloud lowering over
Republican headquarters. All the lead
erS are living in mortal fear of some
thing that is likely to happen at any
moment The different factions are
prepared to knife each other on the
very slightest provocation. At present
there is a disposition to secure the
head of George NJ. Cannon and substi-
tute some more suitable man for him.
Just now Harry McC2llum would like
TO be put al the head Of the state COM
mittee. The Oquirrh club snap was all
right SO long as it lasted. bur Mccall
lum has about worked that snap out.
The club is rapidly falling into decline.
Whereas it was busy but a short time
ago, now it is IL the last stages of
consumption. The padded membership
lists make big showing of strength
in to pay the stipend of the workers
who wanted soft snaps out of the club.
Jealousies at the open use OF the in
huence of the club leaders for favor
ite candidates have proved disintegrat-
ing forces. and McCalluIn is playing
for something higher up.
de and his friends are using a pecu-
liar kind of argument to help him.
Phey are saying that all Of Judge
Powers success as a political manager
and organizer is due to the brain force
of Harry McCallurn. They claim II
was his fertile brain that first con-
ceived the plan Of organization for the
Liberal party; that it was he who made
up the plan of the Ocuirrh club, when
in fact he merely copied from Judge
fsiBNers. In fact, to hear McCaIlun's
frgends talk one would think that Judge
