FBRD WITTROCK, alias "Jim Cum- ttings," was taken by the Pinkerton de­ tectives from Chicago to Leavenworth, Kansas, where he made a full confession of his connection with the Adams Express robbery. A large amount of the stolen money was recovered, it having been con­ cealed in a box under a barn at Leaven- worth. The detectives were taken to the «nt and the box dug up. It was taken to that city by Cook and concealed by him and three other young men. Mrs. Haight, wife of the man who planned the robbery, was aireatod at Nashville and taken to St. Louis. CoLOKEXi L. C. Win, Superintendent of the Adams Express Company, reports that that the amount of money stolen by Vim Cummings," Haight and others was between $81,000 and $82,000. Thus far it is reported that upward of $40,000 has been recovered. A dispatch from Kansas City says: Pinkerton detectives arrived here from Leav­ enworth With Wittrock, alias Jim Camtnings, in charge. A detective also arrived from St. Stools, bringing Oacar Cook. Wittrock was ac- eoinpamtod by his mother. As a result of one - dayV Week nera the detectives secured proba­ bly about #10,000.

A Washington dispatch says: He was offered f 1,000 cash for the manuscript and a royalty on all sales by a Washington pub­ lisher, but concluded to accept an offer from a New Vork house which promised him a larger royalty. Although the book was issued nearly a year ago up to October he had received but #280 from the publishers. At the time of Arthur's funeral he went to New York and succeeded in getting a check for $2,000, which was needed to meet some pressing neces­ sities, but that not only exhausted all that was due him from the sales, bnt the publisher al­ lowed him. to anticipate future receipts. At the rate the book is now selling, Mrs. Logan will derive no income from it for months. In Washington, where it was ex­ pected there would be a large demand, the agent says that scarcely a hundred copies have been sold, and the General only received 50 cents a copy. The failure of his book was the source of great distress to him and weighed upon his mind. He was not only mortified at its lack of popularity, but expected to derive a large revenue from it, and was sure that its proceeds would pay for his house. He had been offered by the publisher of a weekly Eaper $10,000 for his reminiscences of the war, ut preferred to write the political volume. FUNERAL services over the remains of General Logan were held in the Senate Chamber at Washington, on Friday, Jan. 31. The body was then interred in a Washington cemetery, to await a decision as to the place of final burial. One propo­ sition made at Chicago is to cede the southern end of the lake front for the grave; another is to erect a monu­ ment at the hgad of Grand boulevard and change the name of that thoroughfare to Logan. The casket was made at Oneida, N. 1"., of Spanish red cedar, and covered with broadcloth. While it is clear that a liberal pension will be granted to Mrs. Logan, leading men throughout the coun­ try are subscribing liberally for her relief. A WASHINGTON dispatch says: "Captain G. E. Lemon this morning started a sub­ scription fund for the benefit of Mrs. Logan with $1,000, and sent invitations to hun­ dreds of General Logan's friends and ad­ mirers throughout the country, asking them to contribute.

FBED WITTROCK told his mother that he perpetrated the express robbery to save her home from being sold on a mortgage. A Kansas City dispatch eajs: "Superintend­ ent Damsel, of the Ad&ins Express Corn- Eany of St. Louis, arrived here this mora-lg with Mrs. W. W. Haight. On the strength of a confession made by Haight he brought information which Robert Pinkerton acted upon by going to Leavenworth. There he recovered $9,500 more, which was found buried* in Bealed cans. Oscar Cook has made a confession in which he Bays that Fotheringham, the express messenger who is now in jail charged with complicity in the robbery, knew all about the plan to rob his car and was a willing victim to the at­ tack of the robber. It is said that he was promised $10,000 of the amount stolen as his share of the boodle, and that was a part of the money, which Fred Wittrlck sent to his mother for safe-keeping." BUKCHARD A.

LORING, the well- known Confederate General who, as Lor­ ing Pasha, claimed to have saved the Egyptian army in Abyssinia about ten years ago, died last week at New York. Gen. Loring was born in North Carolina about 69 years ago. When only 16 years old he ran away to fight in the war for Texan independence. He rose to be a Captain. When the Seminole war broke out he fought himself into a Lieutenancy of the United States army. He followed the army to Mexico, and lost an arm in the battle of Chapultepec, and came out as Major of the First Mounted Rifles, United States army. Then he was promoted Colonel, and in this position he led a famous march from Fort Leavenworth to Oregon without lesing a man. THE purchasing committee of the Wa­ bash Company, through General Wager Swayne, informed Judge Gresham that the Federal Circuit Court at St. Louis has ar­ ranged to accept $1,000,000 in cash, with security for a like amount within sixty days, and turn over the entire system. Judge Gresham replied that he saw no rea­ son to change his recent order, and he therefore instructed Judge Cooley to take possess.on of the property immediately.

THS death of Senator Logan from then- aatism has caused people to direct atten­ tion to the illness of President Cleveland, ; who suffers from the same trouble. It is not generally believed that there is any # danger of a fatal termination of the Presi- denfs indisposition, bnt, inasmuch as he suffers much the same disease as did Sena­ tor Logan, he is the subject of a good deal «f concern to-day.

THERE is little doubt that General Master Workman Powderly will be called on in a short time to issue a call for a riial session of the General Assembly of Knights, and that the call will be signed by district assemblies from at least ten States, says a New York dispatch. The States mentioned by those interested' in the movement are Illinois, Indiana, Michi­ gan, Missouri, Texas, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. In all of these States theia are districts which are in almost open revolt against the Gen­ eral Executive Board. The grounds on which the special session will be asked for are that the election of officers at Rich­ mond was illegal, and tbat as a matter of fact General Master Workman Powderly and Messrs. Bailey, Hayes, and Barry, of the General Executive Boaril, only hold their offices by virtue of the fact that their successors have not been legally elected; that Messrs. Maguire, Carlton, and Ayles- worth, the new members of the Executive Board, have no right to bold their office nor their pay, and that Secretary Litchman has no right to his office nor his pay; that the increase of salaries was illegal and there­ fore void; and thut all acts of the General Executive Board as at present consti­ tuted are illegal. While this will be the nominal reason for the call, it is understood that there are others which threaten the very existence of the order. There is little doubt that the call will be asked for aR pro­ vided by the constitution, yet there is grave uncertainty as to whether Mr. Powderly will issue it. Among well-informed meii in labor circles there seems to be a strong feeling that a split in the order cannot be averted. They say (hat if a special session is called a fight will occur which will cer­ tainly cause a split, and if the special ses­ sion is not called the dissatisfied districts will in all probability call a meeting, with­ draw from the Knights, and form another organization with the same principles. THE Executive Departments in Wash­ ington were closed on the occasion of Gen. Logan's funeral. Gen. Sheridan was Mar­ shal of the funeral procession, which was an imposing one. At Central Music Hall, Chicago, 2,500 ladies and gentlemen met to do honor to the memory of the soldier statesman. Preachers, soldiers, and poli ticians paid tribute to the dead hero. The Chicago Council has set apart a space about 320 feet square, at the south end of the lake front, in that city, as a burial place for General and Mrs. Logan.

'That is our intention," answered the foreman. 'Well, now, I want to tell you you will have to pay me heavy damages. I wouldn't have a road through my farm for less than $1,000, sir." "How much do you value your farm at?" asked the good-natured foreman. "Six hundred dollars, sir," proudly answered the old man, and he marched off in righteous indignation.^--Detroit Free Press.

[Washington special.] G«n. JObn A. Logan, United Slates Sautter from Illinois, died at bis residence in this city on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 98, after an illneas of only a fortnight. Gen. Logan appeared in the 8enate for the last time on Friday, Dec. 10. On Snnday he kept the privacy of ills room, rheumatism making Its first approaches. He grew rapidly worse. Dr. Baxter prescribed the remedies that had be­ fore been efficacious, and before the week ended there was every indication that the diseaae had been counteracted. Tjheq a slight cold was contracted, and the rheumatib torture returned with greater acute- ness. The suffering Senator wamnable to turn in hi| bed. He had lost control of his limbs. Fever developed, and a sequence of the com­ plications WM delirium. This subsided for a time and a aemi-comatose condition ensued. Ho was treated with alcohol baths--an heroic remedy, whose employment when discovered by friends first suggested hi a dangerous con­ dition and the feebleness of his system. But such baths had been used in the previous attack, and thus the intimation they conveyed was modified again. On Saturday afternoon, Deo. 35, Drs. Baxter and Hamilton called in Dr. Lincoln The result of their examination for the first time warranted a change in the current of popular impression as to Gen. Logan's illness. It was felt that the chances were against his rallying, and that his life would fade out. The watchers by his side last night were Surgeon General Hamilton, liepresentative Symes, General Beale, and the family, Thoy be^an their faithful vigils with the flush of a now hope. At 9 o'clock the patient rallied wonderfully, until the im­ provement seemed substantial and indica­ tive that the crisis had been passed, and ul­ timate recovery might be indulged as a hope not too sanguine. But after midnight he relapsed into the unconscious condition which has marked his malady. The doctors' instruc­ tions were to arouse him lrom his lethargy at lease every fifteen minutes. He was thus aroused and given medicine and nourishment. During the hours of his apparent change for bett r he had regained the use of his limbs and readily turned himself in bed. He Was not al­ lowed to talk, bnt did articulate distinctly a few phrases. At about two o'clock the doctor again sought to wake him into consciousness by merely speaking to him. Finding it impossible, Mr Symes spoke to him in his usual loud and rather gruff voice. Gen. Logan responded to the call, opened his eyes, and gave a look of recognition. Then there flitted over his face an expresaioflM^at was seemingly to be trans­ lated that he comprehended that his end was near and that the doctor sought to inform him of the fact. To this silent self-translation of an idea that had not been conveyed to him, Gen. Logan said: "I have very little to say; if tlio time has come, let it be that way." This was the last of the clear and oertalnly the longest of all of the sentences the dying man spoke. At 3 o'clock the doctor bent over the prostrate form and could detect no beating of the heart. Respiration had apparently' oeased, and tho family hurried toward the bed, believing that death had stalked in unawares. But presently life was again perceptible, but there was no subsequent rally. All through .the morning hours the patient lay in unbroken coma, except for one grateful moment of slight consciousness during which the devoted wife gained a glance of recognition. All the morning rt was hopeless, without & ray to dispel the gloom. There was nothing in the afternoon hours to bring encour­ agement. At 2:57, unconscious and painless, the heroic sufferer died. Just before the last spark of life flickered out the Rav. J. 1'. Newman had con­ cluded a prayer at the bedside. The apprtash of dissolution waB plainly fore­ seen at noon. Ther.i were prcsest in the room when death came Mrs. Logan, her daughter, Mrs. Tucker aud Maj. Tucker, and tho only son, Manning I.ogan, Gen. Beale, Senator Cullom and daughter, Gen. Henderson of Illinois, Rep­ resentative Thomas, Dr. Powell, an old Chicago friend, Gen. Green B. Baum, Daniel Sbepard, a former secretary and intimate friend, tha Kev. J. P. Newman, Miss Mary Br%dy, and Messrs. Taylor and Hall, private secretaries of the dead Senator. The death chamber is st the southeast corner of the second floor of Calumet place, the quaint and cozy home whose comforts have been so of­ ten told. From its windows the day's aspect was tjleak, and when the bulletins of death had been posted down in the city and people began cal iiug to condole, the snow commenced laving its bleaker mautle over the hillside home. Car­ riages came rolling up the heights in uninter­ rupted succession. Within nn hour after the sad news had become known, prominent men, with their wives, were crowding tho lower apartments of the residence, conversing iu hushed tones of the traits of the dead, the grief brought upon a loving family, and the loss the c<untry had suffered in the latest addi­ tion to the remarkable necrology of 1686. » Gen. Logan's system was very sensitive to weather changes of a particular kind, and he has often been heard remark, in a half-jocular way, that he believed he could accurately fore­ tell the coining of a snowstorm. The seeds of his disorder were sown during the war, his first attack of rheumatism having followed imtnrdt- ately the end of a twentv-four hours' march through a blinding snowstorm. His last attack, too, resulted from brief exposure to the snow­ storm of a fortnight ago. tUy BIOGRAPHICAL. Crowded with Incident. John Alexander Logan, soldier and states­ man, was born in Jackson County, Illinois, Feb. 9, 182G. His fatier, Dr. John Logan, who came from Ireland to Illinois in 1S23. served several terms in the State Legislature. His mother was Elizabeth Jenkins, a Tennessenn. He was Indebted for his early education to his father and to such schools as were maintained for Short periods in the new settlements. When the war with Mexico occurred he volun­ teered as w private, but was soon chosen a lieutenant in the First Illinois Infantry. He did good service as a soldier, and for some time was adjutant of his regiment. Afterthis return from Mex­ ico he began the study of law with his uncle, Alexander M. Jenkins. In 1849 be was elected Clerk of Jackson County. In 1852 he graduated at the Louisville University, was ad­ mitted to the bar, and commenced the practice of his profession. His popularity and success led to his election to the State Legislature in the fall of that year, and in the year following as prosecuting attorney for the Third Judicial Dis­ trict--a position he held till 1857. He was elected a member of the Legislature again in 1853, and was re-elected in 1836 and 1857. He was a Presidential elector in 1856 on the Buchanan and Breckinridge ticket. In l&>8 he was elected a Representative from Illinois In the Thirty-sixth Congress as a Douglas Democrat, and was re-elected to the Thirty- aeventb in In the Presidential campaign of that year be earnestly advocated the election of Stephen A. Douglas, but on the first intima­ tion of coming trouble with the 8outh he did not hesitate to declare that, in tha event of the fault, he was dangerously wounded, which In­ capacitated him for active servloe for some •iwe.

Jackson, and Champion HilL In the siege of Vicksburg he commanded McPhereon's center, and on June 31 made the assault after the explosion of the mine. His column was the first to enter the captured city, and he was made its military Governor. He succeeded Gen. Sheridan in the command of the Fifteenth Arm v Corps in November, 1*58.

Shet mtui'ftanny, which was prepar- ing for its march into Georgia, led the advance of the Army of the Tennessee in the fight at Resaca, r&pulsed Hardee's veterans at Dallas, and drove the enemy from his line of works at Kenesaw Mountain. At Atlanta, July 22, where Gen. McPherson fell in the hottest of the fight, Gen. Sherman says, in his report ottfeat battle: Gen. Logan (succeeded htm, and commanded the Army of the Tennessee through this des­ perate battle with the same success and ability that bad characterized him in the command of a corps or division." After the fall of Atlanta, Sept. 1, 1864. ha went homo ana took a prominent part in the Presidential campaign of that year. He re­ joined his troops, who accompanied General Sherman in his famous "march to the aea," at Savaunah, and remained in active service with Sherman's army till the surrender of the Con­ federate forces, under General Joseph E. John­ ston, April 26, 1865. On May 28, he was ap­ pointed to the oommand of the Army of the Tennessee, but as soon as active servive in the field was over, he resigned his com­ mission, stating that he did not. wish to draw pay when not on active duty. He was appointed Minister to Mexico by President Johnson, but declined. In 1R06 he was elected a Representative from Illinois to the Fortieth Congress as a Republican, and served as one of the managers of the impeachment trial of President Johnson. He was re-elected to the Forty-first Congress, and did good service as Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs In securing the passage of an act for the re­ duction of tho army. He was re-elect3d to the Forty-second Congress, but before t\kt body convened fce was chosen by the Illfnois Legislature a Senator of the United States for the term beginning March 4, lb71. He sus- ceedod Vice President Wilson ns Chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Afiars at the beginning of the Forty-second Congress, Dec. *2, 1872. After the expiration of his term of ser­ vice, March 3, 1877, he resumed the practice of law in Chicago. He was again returned to the United States Senate, and took his seat on the convening of that body in extra session, March 18, 1879. He was re-elected in J.S85, his term of service uot expiring until March 3, 1801. Both in the House and Senate he maintained his reputation for brilliancy and success gained in the field. While a Representative his most important Bpeeches were; "On Reconstruction," July 12. 18G7; "On the Impeachment of Presi­ dent Johnson." February 'ii, 1808; "Principles of tho Democratic Party," July 10, 18(58; on a resolution introduced by General B. F. Butler protesting against counting the electoral vote of Georgia, February 12, 1809; "Removing the Capital," January 22, 1870. In the Senate his most noted speeches have been: "Vin­ dication of President Grant Against the Attack • of Charles Sumner," June 3, 1872; a reply to Senator Gordon on the "Kuklux in Louisiana," Jan 13,1875; "On the Equalization of Bounties of Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines," March 2, 1875; "On the Power of the Government to En­ force United htiitea Laws," June 28, 1879. On June 6, 1880, he delivered an able and elo<]ueut speech on, tho "Fitz John Porter Case," which has added greatly to his reputation as a forcible and effective speaker. In the Presidential canvass of 1880 he favored the nomination of General Grant, but did most effective service for General Garfield in the campaign. In 1881 he was presented by his State as a candidate for President. On file nomination of Blaine he was made the candidate for Vioe President by unanimous vote. Genoral Logan was a man of fine presence, rendered striking by his jet black hair and strongly marked features. He possessed in a high degree those traits of character which win success--a strong personal magnetism, un­ daunted courage, and untiring industry. Nov. 27, 1855, he was married to Mi6s Mary S. Cunningham, a daughter of Captain Cunning­ ham, Register of the Land Office at Shawnee- town, 111. She is a lady of superior education and rare so:ial qualities, who has taken a deep interest in her husband's career, and has done much to aid in his advancement by her genial intercourse with his supporters, and the care with which she has attendad to his large corre­ spondence. HIS HOME LIFE. Tho Geanal'i Devotion to His Family-- Logan a Poor Man. ITrom tho Chicago Daily News.] Gen. Logan's home life was always attractive, and his political campaigns were conducted ' from the family circle. His wife and his daugh­ ter, to whom he was always devoted and toward whom he always showed the most affectionate demonstrations,were his confidantes in political matters, and always participated actively in his campaigns. For fifteen years, and until he purohased his new home on Columbia Heights, he always lived in the same board­ ing house on Twelfth street and occupied the same rooms--a modest parlor and bedroom. The new house cost h>m $10,000. He bought it of a syndicate interested in suburban property, who gave him a price much less than it was worth, as they knew that his residence there would attract people to the neighborhood. He gave his notes for $15,000, pavable iu five annual installments, and borrowed $1,000 from Don Cameron to make the cash payment. The house is fully worth $20,009 and peruapa more. The General was always poor. He was never successful in business enterprises, and has lived on his salary. His honesty in legislative life was proverbial. There was not a lobbvist in Washington who dared approach him. When the bill to distribute the remainder of the Geneva award was pending in the Senate, Gen. Logan was favorably disposed to the claims of the iuaurance companies, and one of the attorneys for them went to his rooms to talk on tbe subject. The General received him very coldly, and when the man asked to see him in private a few moments, he flew into a passion and or­ dered him out of the rooms. There were ru­ mors that pecuniary inducements were being offered TO the supporters of tbe bill, and the General supposed that the man had come to mnko some proposition to him. Whether it was true or not, he resented the suspicion by opposing the bill that he was inclined to favor. election of Abraham Lincoln, he would "shoul­ der his musket to have him inaugurated." In July, 1861, during the extra session of Congress aalled by President Lincoln, fired by the enthusiasm of the hour, he left his seat, overtook the troops that were march­ ing out of Washington to meet the enemy, and fought with distinguished bravery tn the'ranks Of Colonel Richardson's regiment at tho dis­ astrous battle of Bull Run. being among the last to leave the field. Returning home the lat­ ter part of August, he resigned hjs seat in Con­ gress, believing he could serve his country bet­ ter iu the field than in the legislative halls, lie _ organized the Thirty-first Illinois Infantry, and i the Presidency, was appointed Colonel September 13.

[Washington telegram to Chicago Times.] A number of things combined to break Logan down. Ho has always been sensitive to criti­ cism, and it has been his bad fortune to be the object of cordial disliko from some active members of his own political party. What the opposition might say in the way cf campaign literature did not worry him greatly, though he folt even that more than some would, but attacks made upon him within the party touched tho quick. Of thirteen Republicans who voted with the Demo­ crats against investigating the election of Senator Paine, he was singled out for attacks by certain Republican newspapers conspicuous for their advocacy of some other person than John A. Logan for president iu ioSS. Gen. Logon felt that he was treated with groas injustice on this occasion and it rankled in his mind. At the same session of Congress-- the last one--he was most unjustly attacked on ac ount of his army bill. His bill involved a slight increase of the army, and in open debate in the Senate chamber it was broadly insinuated that the General was an enemy of the laboring classes, and wanted tbe army larger; that there would be more soldiers to employ in putting down strikes, and compelling the wage-earners to accept such terms as were offered them. These in­ sinuations, or charges--for they were made with little or no disguise--hurt the General deeply. Then he was overworked with his boon, and spent time in writing and revising and reading proofs that he ought to have spent in rest. This was followed by worries of anoth­ er sort. His publishers did not deal very liber­ ally with him, and he thought they had taken some advantage of bim. He was relying on the si lo of the book to pay for his house, and the returns came in more slow­ ly tha'i ho bad hoped for. Then attacks upon him from certain Republican quarters were renewed, and this kept him excited and sore, and increased the feeling tbat he was be­ ing misused. The publication in a Cincinnati paper of a letter written by President Grant, in which slighting allusion to Gen. Logan was made, ought to have been kept from him in bis illness, but some superserviceable friend saw that he got a copy of tbe paper, and this publication was a cruel blow to him. The letter was written before Grant knew him much, aud it is certain that afterward an) for years thoy were fast friends. Logan stood loyally by Grant, and Grant unquestionably bad abundant confidence in Logan, for he offered the General the posi­ tion of Secretary of War, which was declined because the General bad no taste for an admin­ istrative office, and he liked his place in the Senate. Logan felt that all these Republican attacks on bim were made deliber­ ately and witb a purpose to injure bim in the interest of certain Republican candidates for the Presidency. The out-and-out Logan men are feeling very hitter about these attacks, wbieh they think shortened the General's life, and which certainly embittered his last days, and tbey say significantly tbat the authors of these attacks will find out at no distant day Qrwt Industrial Divelepmeftt in That Biffes, as Voted by ' w.

Kelley of Pennsylvania, who lately made an extensive trip through the South, contributes to Hie Baltimore Manu­ facture™' Record of December 25 a lengthy article reviewing the progress of that sec­ tion, in which he presents some striking facts as to the great indoatrial development now in progress there. Referring to hia visit to the South in 1867, Jmdge Kelley says: "The Booth waa a land of desolat'on, her farms were fenceless and uncultivated, and her pepple were without reproductive stock, or that with which to impel modern agricultural implement* had they been be­ stowed upon them gratuitously. They were, practically speaking, without seed for food or crops except what was bestowed upon them by personal friends or the Gov­ ernment, through the Freedman's Bureau and the agencies of tbe Agricultural De­ partment." . Contrasting this with what he saw on his late trip, he says: "The progress in wealth, in the means of individual com­ fort and productive power, has been mar­ velous, and the change wrought from then until now in the immense development of coal and iron ore of these States, and the increase in number and extent of industrial centers, may justly be regarded as the work of Titans. The systems of railroads that now traverse the South are as per­ fect in the construction of road-bed, track, and bridges, and in passenger cars and the means provided for the transportation of freight, as those of the North. Lateral roads branch from them into such valleys as are known to be spe­ cially rich, not in iron alone, but in other minerals, some of which are found in such profusion and juxtaposition as to seem to defy geologic laws as elsewhere illustrated. "Prior to the war," Judge Kelley writes, "the South neither had nor desired to have great cities. It is also true that her states­ men preferred that their workshops should be in foreign lands, and that the ships that exported tneir products and brought them commodities in exchange should, oe built and owned by foreigners. In this respect the oontrast is most striking." Nashville he found to be a beautiful city, which surprised him by the extent and va­ riety of its manufactures and the magnifi­ cence of its buildings. Chattanooga and Birmingham are each a marvel in its own way. In the former he visited the great industrial enterprises that are in operation there, and it was here that his attention was first attracted to the neat, commodious, and well-painted homes of the negro labor­ ers in mining, smelting, and mechanical pursuits. The mechanical skill of the col­ ored laborer in some of these enterprising cities surprised him, and convinced him that with an industrial art school they would soon produce gratifying evidence of the adaptation of negro labor to mechanical pursuits requiring a high degree of skill. Referring to the proximity of coal, iron ore, and limestone at Birmingham, he says it is not surprising that the oversanguine men of that city really believe that they will be able to make iron so cheaply as to soon close up the works of Pennsylvania and force her iron masters and their em­ ployes to re-establish themselves nt Bir­ mingham. This, he stateB, has produced a speculation in town lots that may retard the immediate growth of Birmingham, and time, by various processes, will de­ termine the actual value of corner lots in a city whose success is to extinguish the furnace fires of Pittsburg, Brad- docks, Johnstown, Bethlehem, and gener­ ally throughout Pennsylvania. At Annis- ton he spent ten days making a thorough investigation of the resources of the coun­ try tributary to that place. Here he found extensive iron-works, machine-shops, roll­ ing-mills, car-works, and other industries, besides a large cotton-mill, which ships a considerable part of its product direct to China. The company whioh planned and built Anniston owns 50,00(1 acres of land in which are immense deposits of brown and ltd hematite, fossiliferous, specular, and magnetic, mountains of lime', stone, and seemingly inexhaustible supplies of wood and cooking and gas coal. They have just completed a sixty- mile railroad, and will build another six­ teen miles in leng h, besides two furnaces and other enterprises. He predicts that though Anniston has never had a "boom," and though its platting and development have been managed so quietly that its name is hardly recognized by the popular ear, it will, before two decades shall have passed, be one of the most remarkable cen­ ters of iron, steel, and kindred industries to be found in those wonderfully endowed States--Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. In closing he says: "I have given but faint intimations of the resources of the mineral regions of the South, of the im­ pulses that now animate her controlling people, and of the rapid strides with which the spirit of the nineteenth century is changing not only the aspect of the coun­ try but the purposes and aspirations of the people of the new South." THE CASE QF MRS. DRUSE. She Is Respited by tlie Governor of Few York--The horrible Orime of Which She Is Guilty, , p • .; rAlbany <». Y.) spee!aL||: GOT. Hill has issued an executive order postponing the execution of Mrs. Roxalana Druse, under sentence of death for the mur­ der of her husband, from Dee. 29, the date fixed in the sentence, till Feb. 28. The Governor says he does this in order to give the State Legislature an opportunity to modify the law of capital punishment in its application, and adds that as far as he is concerned the case is closed and the woman must suffer the penalty of the crime on the day fixed unless in the meantime the law shall have been changed. The Governor says that it was a clear case of murder, and that he can find noteason for interference with the penalty except the sex of the condemned, which the law does not take into account. He says: "The evidence shows that the killing was most brutal and atrocious in its character. Briefly stated, the facts satisfactorily es­ tablished are as follows: The family con­ sisted of the deceased and Mrs. Druse, the daughter Mary, aged 19 years, the son George, aged 10 years, a nephew, Frank Gates, aged 14 years. A quarrel had oc­ curred the morning of the homicide be­ tween the deceased and the defendant at the breakfast table. The deceased was still at the table, and during the quarrel of words the defendant went into another room and took a loaded revolver which was tbere, and, putting it under her apron, re­ turned and whispered to the boys to go out of doors, which they did, leaving herself, the daughter Mary, and the deceased in the room. Mary then placed a rope around her father's neck while he was at the table, and the defendant fired the revolver once or twice at him, wounding him, and he tell over sideways in his chair, while the defendant, being unable to make the re­ volver go off again, called to the nephew, Frank, who came into the house, together with the boy George, whereupon the pris­ oner gave the revolver to the nephew, and under a threat of killing him, i [tiy ed.and boMtedtt»t she woold be rflrf him Mole dtr. uThes««ad other facts almost too horri­ ble for description marie the caae as a one of deliberate and Tnrnw>fifltt>foiT WiiHfaM There seems to be wareefy » circumstance.

Edward McCtyan much publicity by his open advocacy of Henry George's theories, which are said to be opposed to the teachings of the Catholic Church, and he has been summoned to Rome to explain certain of his utterances in the recent campaign. Dr. Mc Glynn haa declined to say much in regard to tho matter, as messages {com the Vatican al­ ways allow a reasonable time in such eases for the priest to set the affairs of his parish m good running order before de­ parture. Dr. McGlynn is very popular with the wide circle of his parishioners, and tho opinion of most of them is that the Pope 'H: !:Hi, will send him back to his parish without even a reprimand. Dr. McGlynn onee made a speech in Cleveland, Ohio, that brought him in collision with his Bishop. He was a student of the Propaganda, and he took an oath to uphold the doctrines of the church* which it is now thought by tho higher authorities that he is infringing upon by delivering his speeches in favor of the recent labor movements which are dis­ turbing the elements of both church and state. Dr. McGlynn has no fear of any serious results from his call to Rome, for it can be easily urged that priests have taken part in politics in Europe--most prominent part in England, Fraihce, and Italy, and in Ireland especially, and that even Popes have been politicians. A London correspondent sends an inter­ view With Cardinal Manning, in whieh tlM^,, Cardinal says, regarding the disciplining of Dr. McGlynn: MI do not know Father McGlynn, nor tho t exact state of affairs in New York that. led up to his being called to Rome, but ( presume it is more f orihe purpose of allovl _ ing him to make an explanation than any­ thing else." "The incident has created the impression that the Catholic Church is opposed to Mr. George and the present labor movement," said the correspondent. "The Catholic Church is not opposed to the present labor movement or to Mr. Henry George, unless they fall into socialism. There must be a very wide distinction made between the socialist and the workiugman. I saw in a telegram some time at*o that Mr. George had said the Catholic Church had never confirmed the principle of property in land. This is not true. Exactly the re­ verse is the fact. The church has, from the beginning, taught the right of property In land."
