there, but every drawer in the room was
open and all my jewelry and valuables of
every description that / kept In my room
was gone. 1t took five or six keys to get at
them all, as i had been very particular
about keeping them locked up. ! had not

every inch of the house could have accom-

GIVES SEAT TO ALDRICU.
Gross Election Frauds i'm the Fourth
Allah nan District

An unusually severe arraignment of all
legged election frauds is made in the re-
port filed by House committee on elections
No. l. in the case of VIM. F. AIdrich
against Thos. S. Plowman, from the fourth
district of Alabama Mr. Plowman is the
sitting member. but the committee submits
recount of the vote, giving Aldrich, re-
publican and populist candidate. the seat
After criticisng the Alabama election law
as putting the honest vote at the mercy
OF dishonest markers. the report says:
When IL is known that the condition for
such a state of facts exists it is not
strange that illfterate voters should
main away from the polls in the hope that
they would at least not furnish ammuni-
ton for their political opponents. But this
made little difference to the democratic
managers in Dallas county. They voted
the illiterate colored men, present o. alb
sent. The machinery was simple ami ef-
fective. Fortunately II has been discovered
and the details of its operations laid bare.
Fraud is everywhere; not lurking
cret, but bold and insolent. Ii IS chiefly
OF five kinds
L. Traudulently padding the poll list with
names of persons not registered: some
times of fictitious persons, and sometimes
of persons who did not live In the pre-
cinct.
2 BY padding the poll list with names
of persons on the registration list woo did
not vote
3. BY imposing on iiiterate voters.
4. By the fashioned method of false
ly recording votes.
s. By refusing to hold any election at all
in certain strong republican precincis.
After going into much detail on the al
legged frauds, the committee say they have
revised the vote on the most conservative
lines. giving Aldrich plurality of 5i2.
whereas the election OF Plowman was
claimed by 2,961 plurality.

the cavern ara streaked with the beautiful

CLAIMS FOR CANDIDATES
G. A. &. Comrades Contesting Over the
Choice of Commander.
The HuntOOn-DOOlfttle Combination
declared to BE Unbeatable and the
Hendricks Men Equally Sure.

The election of the commander of the De-
partment of the Potomac, G. A. R.. which
is to take place at the encampment mex,
week, continues to interest comrades of the
various posts, and electioneering by the
adnerents OF the candidates is growing
mere animated every day. There was a
conference held last night by the support
ers OF Assistant Adjutant General Arthur
Messrs. Huntoon and Doolittle who as
well known, have entered into a combina-
ton by which the candidate receiving the
largest vote on the first ballot will receive
the complete strength of the combinati ton
on the second. The result of the confer.
ence was that renewed confidence was feI.
in the success of the combination.
1t was declared very positively that the
Vote for Mr. Huntoon and Mr.. Doolittle on
the first ballot would substantially exceed
together the vote cast for Mr.. Hendricks
and that the second ballot would result in
the choice of Mr.. Huntoon, whose support
ers outnumber those of Mr.. Doolittle in the
combination. The Hendricks men will hold
| conference tonight. Several of them to-
day denied the claims of the Huntoon-
Doohttie combination and expressed them
selves as certain that their man would be
elected on the first ballot

ONE PENSION CASE
A True Story Of a Widows Apparent
Fraud.
ONE OF MANY WARTIME ROMANCES
Army Officers Pretended Marriage
to a Southern Girl.
QUEER COMPLICATIONS

Some twenty years ago the pension case
OF a widow Jones was discovered to have
been backed up by fraudulent certificate
of marriage, and the grand jury of the
district, finding a true bill, the widow
left her place in the treasury and the city.
This case fully appears in the following
story:
During the early part of the late war,
there was located On the roadside, a few
miles from one of the pretty towns of West
Virginia, prosperous blacksmith, whose
family, a Wife and several children, in
cluded several quite handsome girls, just
entering womanhood. 1t was not long be-
fore the federal troops arrived in the neigh
borhood, and then some troops were raised
In that section. For the latter there were
a few officers taken from the northern reg
iments. and one of them, while his regi-
ment was encamped near the blacksmith's
engaged board with the family. This Off
Ger was widower. with one child re had
left in the care of his mother, and although
the youngest Of the girls was little more
IMAM fourteen years old, they were soon
strongly attached to each other. The family
however. looking on II as mere pastime on
their part, which would soon be ended by
the young officer going to the front inter-
posed no objection to the child accom-
panying him in walks and on short car
mage rides In the vicinity.
A Quiet Wedding.
On one pleasant afternoon about the lat
ter part of May, 1861, they set out for a
longer drive than the family expected. and
when night came there were conjectures
that they may have missed their way or
perhaps have fallen into some trap and
been captured by the enemy. for at that
Time there was no telling who were friends
or VINO were foes In that section. The fol-
lowing day drew it's slow length along,
during which time inquiries were made
ana search made for the truants, and
the Joy of the family. AS soon as they
alighted the family received a surprise,
when the sister was introduced as Mrs.
Jones. for that was the name Of the young
lieutenant. and they related how they had
driven over into Maryland and were mar
ried by Methodist minister, and produced
a certificate to that effect. This was salts
factory to the family. though the mother
and father would have been better salts
fed had one Of the elder girls been his
choice.

In addition to the delegates and past

votes in the election OF officers.
Claims of Both Sides.
1t is claimed by the Huntoon- Doolittle
people that they will have upward of
Linety votes on the first ballot and that
either of the candidates they are support
ing will receive considerably over a hun
dred on the second ballot. when either
Mr.. Hendricks or Mr.. DooittIe will be
alone balloted for. The claim is also made
by some Of the G. A r. men, although it
cannot be traced to any certain basis
that several of the Doolittle men in the
combii alton will not vote for Mr.. Hum
toon on the second ballot If he gets more
votes than Mr.. Doolittle on tine first vote
and that some of the Huntoon men will
fail to vote for Mr.. Doolittle in case he
gets the majority vote at first All these
claims and counterclaims, of course, add
interest ana amin alton to the contest
which will undoubtedly grow until the
result Is reached.

DON CARLOS, ATTIrUDE.

Don Carlos, the pretender to the
Spanish throne, is pretending to be a
true patriot just now, but the general
belief is that he has at least one eve
on his own chances Of becoming king
of Spain. 1t could hardly be expected
that he would think well of the way
affairs have been conducted by the
present government of Spain, and he
doesn't. He says that the incidents in
Cuba and Manila have revealed neg
lected defenses, venal administration, a
prevalent substitution of personal for
national interests, corruption fostered
by party government, generously voted
millions diverted from the fulfllment
of their patriotic purpose to the pockets
of fraudulent contractors and dishon-
est state employees, and disorderly pee
ulation and mendacity in every depart
ment of the public service.
There is good reason to believe that
Don Carlos hasn't exaggerated the con-
dition of things in his beloved but dis
tressed country. That he would change
them for the better if he had the OPP
portunity isn't so certain, for Spain has
been much the same under many rul-
ers. What might be expected of him
in some directions is made plain by
what he says of Weyler, which is: AS
for Weyler, he is a typical caballero
Espanol. He is purely a soldier, not in
the least a politician. 1t is my firm
conviction that he adopted the proper
policy for putting down the Cuban in
surrection, and would have suppressed
it effectually, perhaps, ere now, had he
not been prematurely withdrawn from
command, the victim of political in
trigue and official cowardice. He was
the terror of the American emissaries,
rebel spies and of foreign sympathiz-
ers with treason and anarchy.
Whatever popularity and help Don
Carlos may secure in Spain by his ap-
| prevail of Butcher" Weyler that ap-
prevail will not add to his popularity in
civilized countries. Spanish cavaliers
of the FWeyler type are not as much ap-
preciated now as they might have been
| three hundred years ago.

M0RE EARLY noRK-

The United States squadrons seem to
have habit of arriving" in time to
begin their days work early. Commo-
dore Dewey arrived at Manila and be-
gan operations as soon as 1t was light
enough for him to see. Yesterday
morning just before sunrise Rear Adj
miral Sampson with nine warships ar
rived before San Juan and began work.
The battleship Iowa fired the first shot,
and it took effect, after the fashion of
shots fired by United States gunners.
Then the Indiana opened fire and in a
few minutes Moro fort was heap of
ruins. Apparently no real defense was
made.
1t appears that the cruiser Yale has
been busy and has captured Spanish
steamer. More power to the Yale and
more captures for her. She has a good
name, and we all want her to have a
good fame.

A STORY ABOUT THE QUEEN.

About twenty years ago a certain
Royal Highness, near relative Of Her
Majesty, who was married to Serene
Highness, came to the Queen and told
her that her lord and master had actu-
ally eloped. At the moment nobody
save the discarded wife knew of the
state of affairs. When the Queen heard
the news she remarked, This is a
scandal which in twenty-four hours
will be talked all over Europe. If you
will tell me the exact place where your
husband has gone, will follow him
and try to bring him back" The
Princess knew precisely where her hus-
band was located. The Queen found the
renegade Prince at country inn. She
asked for the Prince under his as
sumed name, and in ten minutes had
explained to him the situation and the
position in which he was placing the
Court of England, and the Queen then
spoke of the feelings of his wife, who
was at home in a state well nigh bord-
ering on frenzy. His Highness prom
Used to return at once to his spouse. 1t
