THE SEASON OPENED

At the Grand Last Night by the Barlow
Bros. MiDstrels
The fall and winter theatrical season
at the Grand Opera House was opened
last nightsby the Barlow Bros min
strels, and the house was packed to the
doors. Manager Feinler selected an
excellent attraction for the occasion,
and the big audience was more than
pleased, manifesting it's appreciation
by the most enthusiastic applause
throughout the evening.
The company is made up of some
very clever vocalists and comedians,
and is under the personal manage
ment of Mr.. M. A. Moseley. The first
part was excellent, the jokes having
the merit of freshness, if not original
ity, and the vocal numbers being of a
high order. The special features wers
very entertaining, especially the mon
ologue act of Harry Ward, who is ad-
vertsed as the next President OF
minstrelsy," and whose work entities
him to that distinction. The company
will hold the boards at the Grand dur
ing the remainder of the week, with
the usual Saturday matinee.-Wheel.

A Sectional Tariff Halter.

I desire to say that am in hearty
sympathy with majority of the com.
mittee in its decision to attack the
tariff in detail; and I think that the
bills which have been reported and the
bills to be reported will fully answer the
argument of the gentleman, that we
are making only a slight assault upon
the system. Tariff Speech of William
J. Bryan, March 18, 1892.
That is to say Mr.. Bryan favored the
most vicious class and sectional legisla.
tion ever proposed by an American con-
gress. He was willing to make a raid,
as it We're, on any industry by trans
fe1ring an article from the dutiable to
the free list, without regard to other
articles or to the justice or equality of
the proceeding. Acting on this theory,
the farmers wool was made free, and
the products of stronger industries per-
mitted to remain dutiable. The manu-
facture Of cotton ties in the United
States was wiped out, while other ar
ticles on the iron and steel schedule
were left untouched. This declaration
stamps Mr.. Bryan destructionist, not
. constructionist. philadelphia Press.

The Harm That VIII Come to Them II
Free Silver Wins.

The Harm That Will Come to Them II
Free Silver Wins.
In a recent interview Rev. D. W.
Fisher, d. D., president of Hanover
Ind.) college, gave utterahce to his
opinion as to the effect of the free coin.
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to in
two directions which have not hitherto
been considered. and which add to the
area of disaster that would be covered
by Bryan's 60-cent dollars.
DR.. Fisher, in the first place, finds
that the silver question specially affects
the colleges. because their funds are
nearly all loaned upon mortgages that
run for several years. Hence under free
coinage the incomes of colleges would
be curtailed to the extent of the depre-
citation. "In other words, an income of
10000 per year from investment of one
endowment at the present rate would
in reality be worth only $4,000, if the
depreciation amounts to so per cent"
''If the colleges continue their work
under such conditions the depreciation
must fall upon the teaching force and
salaried employees, as in time of depre-
citation salaries are slow to advance, and
never did advance IN anything like the
proportion of depreciation"
DR.. Fisher, in another part of his in
terview, freely expressed the opinion
that the influence of the proposed free
and missionary operations of the church
would be most disastrous. He says:
"There is no likelihood that contribu.
tions would increase in proportion to
the depreciation of our money Curtail.
ment of salaries, reduction in the mum.
Der of missionaries, of candidates for

means that it must be sent abroad in
the equivalent of gold. If our contribu.
tions are made in silver, exchange in
gold at heavy premium would reduce
them so enormously that I shrink from
an estimate of the effect"

ARRIVES SAFE At SOUTHAMPTON.
Voyage of the American Liner Paris Across
the Atlantic With One Engine
Disabled

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 1S.-The Ameri-
can Line steamer Paris, Captain Watkins,
from New York, before reported as pro-
ceedng with her starboard engine dis
abled, arrived here this morning. To a
representative of the United Asso-

that on the morning of October
s the starboard shaft broke in the
tube about fifty feet from the propeller.
The vessel was at once stopped, and after
an examination it was decided to proceed
for Southampton under the port engine.
The Paris was then 353 miles from New
York. In the afternoon of the same day
the White Star Line steamer Teutonic,
bound eastward, passed the Paris Later

sighted the Paris and went alongside of
her. The Fuerst Bismarck offered to take

clined.
During the trip the Paris spoke twenty

under her port screw, averaging twelve
and half knots per hour. and she COW

The San Francisco call., 1896-10-19

Rambusch had not only executed ficti-
tious mortgage, but he had, after record
ing it, raised the amount to $500.
Rambusch was frightened at Spence's
note and drawing $500 from the bank left
town. Mrs. Spence placed an attachment
on all of his property the next day and
the whole story OF his transactions began TO
unfold itself.
The confession of Rambusch, which
came in the form of letter for his vile,
is far from complete. The family refuse
to make the letter public, although the
authorities have been allowed to read 1t.
1t tells nothing of what he did with the
money. He says that for twenty years his
life has been lie.
He has led dual existence, and that
life had at last become unbearable, and
when his wife received the letter he
would be dead. He claimed his income
from his office was not sufficient to keep
up his house in the way in which he
wanted to run it. He said that he had
not used any of the money in gambling or
speculation, or had not, as might be
charged, spent it for pleasure or de-
bauchery. The letter was dated at Colon
made Hotel, Philadelphia.
Twenty years ago Rambusch was en-
gaged in the real estate business in part
nership with Richard Mertz. They pur-
chased the abstract Office of Judge Lewis,
and he was pushing them hard for pay
ment. In October, 1877, a small brick
building, in which were the county offices
and all of the real estate records, burned.
1t was charged at the time that the fire
was started to destroy the evidence
against Ode Traynor, who was County
Treasurer, and vino was alleged to BE-
short in his accounts Traynor was tried
and acquitted. At the time the District
Attorney suspected Rambus of being
the incendiary, and had collected some
evidence against him, but not enough TO
warrant prosecution.
The next morning after the fire Ram
busch borrowed enough money to pay
Judge Lewis and to secure the abstracts.
The fire which destroyed the county
records made Rambusch. The records,
which he bought for $4,000. were then val
ued at about $25, ,000 Dodge County could
not then afford to have new records writ
ten. Ram busch was the only one who
could furnish complete abstract of title
to its lands, and he secured from the
county contract by which he was to fur
nish it for twenty years all of its abstracts.
This contract still has two years to run.
1t placed every investor who put money
into Dodge County lands absolutely at
the mercy of one man.
1t is thought he began his fraudulent
work in 1876. All the time he was good
church member. An Episcopalian, he
went to the Presbyterian church because
his denomination had no church here.
He cared for the collections of the church

STONES THROWN BY A MOB.

WEsTCHEsTER. Pa, Oct. 1s.-Ed-
ward Brown, the negro who attacked Mrs.
Thomas Johnson in suburb of Coatsville
night before last, was landed in Jail at this
place at 1:30 o'clock this morning. When
the officer took the culprit to the railway
station a mob surrounded him and 1t was
with the greatest difficulty that he sue
ceeded in placing the scared negro safely
OH board the cars. Before the train started
stones were hurled through the car win
dows thick and fast and the passengers be-
came terror-stricken and rushed in all
direction to escape the flying missiles.
One man, passenger from the West,
was struck on the head by a stone and the
whole side of his face was laid open, while
ber of others received slight cuts
and bruises about the head and body.
