ISnd of the Great Chicago Boodle Trials- Seven of the Conspirators Get a Two Yeails' Penitentiary Sentence, While Four Are Fined i $1,000 Each. . THE memorable Chicago boodle trial ;; %as brought to a close on Friday, the 5th Inst., and resulted in a verdict of convic­ tion. A punishment of two yean in the i jaenitentiary was imposed upon each one of the defendants except Commissioners Cas- seiman, Geils, Oliver, and McCarthy, who «scape with a fine of $1,000 each. A Chi* • wigo dispatch tells how the verdict was re- JWived: :•••: An anxious crowd of attorneys and newspa­ per men kept Judge Jamieson'a room crowded till late last evening after the jury in the great ' boodle case bad retired at 3 o'clock to consider {to verdict The room was almost packed with and police officers in citizen's clothes Toady to secure tbe defendants in case any re­ sistance was attempted. It was expected, at .firqt, that the jnry would not be long in arriving , at a conclusion, but as tbe hours drew on and 8o'clock was reached and still no verdict, peo­ ple began to think that thore would be a long siege and the juror* would have some difficulty in making up their minds. The officers were lost beginning to prepare for an all-night ses­ sion when Chief Bailiff Cahill ran into Judge Janiieson'sprivate room and shouted: "You'll til have to get ont of here. Make room for the Jnry." In a moment every 6eat in the court- toom waa occupied. Judge Jamieson ascende<l pn bench, tbe defendants came in slowly and Occupied their seats oue after the other, and *Bnally the jnry was led to its seats, Foreman A. L. Brown preceding his colleagues with a scroll oi paper in bis hand. Judge Jamieson turned to tbe jury: "Gentlemen, have yon . agreed upon a verdict?" "We have, your jftonor,* replied Mr. A. L. Brown. Chief Bailiff <.'ahill took the verdict from Mr. brown's band# and handed it to the .Clerk. "Read tbe ' Verdict, Hr. Clerk," ordered the Judge. And amid breathless silence Clerk Lee read in a voice that it required all hi* will power to laake audible: We, the jury, find tbe defend­ ants Adam Ochs, Michael K Leyden, James J. 'McCarthy.

An Address Issued by Wilford Woodruff Re­ lating to the Government of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. A Salt LAKE (Utah) special gays: "The question of successorship to the Presiden­ cy of the Mormon Church has been settled .^temporarily by the appearance this evening «f an address signed by Wilford Woodruff, President of the apostles. He says: "As upon two former occasions in oar history, the duty and responsibil­ ity of presiding over and directing -the affairs of the chnreh of Jesus Christ in all the world devolves upon the twelve apoades. With the bles&ing of the Lord and the faith and prayers of His people we hope to do our duty until we, too, shall be laid to rest." Woodruff is 80 years old and • man of mediocre ability. He has been ;•in hiding two years, and is still out of eight to all save the faithful. His Presi­ dency will not be as rigorous or popular as would have been Cannon's or Smith's. As • '* matter of course the Mormons will ac­ cept him. It is not probable a formal eloc­ ution will take place bsfore next April, if tben. The apostles, with Taylor at their head, ruled three years after Brigham Young's death before Taylor was chosen ^President.

Chicago, on Monday, the examination of witnesses for the defense began. A number of per­ sons testified to the good reputations here­ tofore borne by several of the defendants, their evidence going to show that people often enjoy good reputations who do not deserve them. Four of the defendant County Commissioners took tbe wit­ ness stand and stoutly denied that they had ever received money to influence their official action. Their statements are generally discredited. Judge Shepaid overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of Edward McDonald, and formally sentenced him to three years in the peniteniiaiy in accordance "with the verdict of the jury. When asked by the oourt if he had anything to say why sen­ tence should not be passed upon him, McDonald quietly replied: "I have nothing to say, your Honor." "With­ out further ceremony, then, I will formally sentence ydu," said the court. "You are an intelligent man, and it would be mockery for me to explain to you the full import of the verdict. Therefore, I command that you be taken hence to the county jail, and from there to State's prison, where you shall be imprisoned for the term of three years." McDonald heard the sentence without flinch­ ing, and looked intently at the Judpe while be was speaking. Dr. St. Johm a prominent Chicago physician, charged with aiding McGarigle to escape, was ar­ rested and held to bail in $20,000. Mc­ Garigle is in London, Canada, where he expects to be joined by his famity. He boasts that he will be bock in Chicago "a free man" within ninety days. Ex-Warden Charles L. Frey is still in jail, having been unable to secure bondsmen. His bail has been fixed at $1,000 on each indictment, or $16,000 in alt. GEORGE BURTON, of Homer, Mich., on Tuesday murdered his wife, wounded his mother-in-law, and shot himself. Burton first shot his wife twice, the first time in front of the right ear, the second time in tbe ear, and after she fell he ran behind Mrs. D. P. Hatch, his mother-in-law, and shot her, the ballet entering back of the left ear, but not piercing the skull. She fell, and he, supposing be had>killed her, shot himself, the ball entering on the right side of the head and passing entirely through it. Burton ana his wife bad parted, and she had instituted proceedings for divorce. She returned to the house for her clothes and they quarreled. A CHICAGO dispatch o£ Wednesday says: "W. J. McGarigle, tbe escaped boodler, is believed to be in hiding near St. Catha­ rines, Ontario. A warrant has been issued at Montreal for his arrest on a charge of conspiracy, preferred by James Baxter, a broker of that city. The offense is alleged to have been committed while McGarigle was Chief of Police in this city, and the proceedings will, it is said, be vigorously pushed. It is said McGarigle is badly scared." A PEORIA (HI.) paper prints a story to the effect that Justice Craig, of the Hlinois Supreme Court, in private conversation, stated that the Justices were practically unanimous in the opinion that the con­ demned anarchists should not be granted a new trial, and that the decision of the court will be announced at Ottawa Sept. 6. A CHICAGO dispatch of Thursday says: "In the great omnibus boodle trial the de­ fense rested yesterday. The State intro­ duced no rebutting evidence, for 'the rea­ son that there was nothing to rebut. Ar­ guments were then made by Assistant State's Attorney Walker for the prosecu­ tion and Colonel Dan Munn for the de­ fense. In the course of Mr. Walker's speech he denounced Wren as 'the most contemptible swindler of the gang,' and as a'perjurer.' Wren jumped to his feet and called Walker a liar, repeating the term several limes, While Walker reiterated his characterization of the boodler as a per­ jurer. The Court finally succeeded in suppressing Wren, who left the room in a rage." HERR GBOTTKATT, the Milwaukee so­ cialist, who has been ont on bail pending the result of the appeal to the Supreme Court for a new trial, was released ••Sjr his bondsmen, and is now in jail. SOUTH. At a christening in Brooklyn, N. Y., Daniel Mullen and Dennis Dillon appear­ ed as unbidden guests, and volunteered to "clean out" the whole party. They drew their knives and sailed in, and a terrible fight followed. Michael Mullen, aged 19, was killed, and his sister, Mrs. Ann)^ Pearl, fatally wounded. Two others were cut, but not seriously. IK Jersey City, Joseph Schlimmer mur­ dered his 16-year-old wife, to whom he was recently married, because she refused to live with him. There had been an agree­ ment with the girl's parents that the young couple should not live together for two years, on account of the bride's yeans. THE colored veterans of the Union army have been holding • reunion at Boston. Resolutions were adopted to the effect Hist tbe colored troops fought nobly during the war, and that the negroes of the ftaBth remain in a deploiable condition. Fvefiminaries were taken for a permanent org*&i*ation. and it was soon detfided to hold the next reunion at Washington. MRS. W. H. LISLE, of Lansingburg, J?.

DURING the election at Manchester, Clay County, Ky., says a Loui&ville special, a furious affray broke out between the Dem­ ocrats and Republicans. There was already a feud, and only the excuse of a political quarrel was needed. About sixty were en­ gaged in the fight. Clay is a mountain county in the extreme southeast of the State, on the headwaters of the Kentucky, and not far froih those of the Cumberland Biver. It has only two or three hundred people, and has of late been orderly. Election day, according to the mountain custom, many voters came in armed with guns, revolvers, and bowie-knives. A quarrel arose which brought a shot. A general fight followed, involving thirty on a side. Pistols were emptied and clubs and knives flashed. When quiet was restored six were found dead. They were Jack Hecker, Dow White, John G. White, Dale Little, and two countrymen from a remote part of the county. Four or five leave families. Manchester was the home of John D. White from his boyhood and ^rhile in Congress, and the WhiteB are his cousins.

The colored people will fight the law in Hie courts. AN Associated Press telegram from Lex­ ington, Ky., say8: "The following private dispatch has been received from W. O. feradley: 'I am elected Governor of Ken­ tucky by 5,000 majority.' This indicates the Republican claims as to the result of t&e election. Until Wednesday the Repub­ licans conceded the election of l>uckner on a small majority. Reports are in from all counties with telegraphic communication. The Democratic loss as compared with tbe vote of four years ago in neariy fifty coun­ ties has been fully 18,000." THE Maryland prohibitionists, in con­ vention at Glyndoii, nominated the fol­ lowing ticket: For Governor, Summer- field Baldwin of Baltimore; for Attorney General, James Poliurd of Baltimore; for Comptroller, Thomas E. Wright of Cam­ bridge. The platform adopted suggests that men who sell votes or corrupt voters shall be forever disfranchised; that wage- workers should be protected by laws which will prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor; the enactment of laws pro­ viding for arbitration in oases where capital and labor are in conflict, and adequate ap­ propriations for the bureau of labor sta­ tistics.

Secretary Faircbild said, in explana­ tion of his action, that he did it simply because he regarded it as the best thing that could be done under the circum­ stances. The purchase of bonds, he says is for the purpose of providing for the sinking fund and in anticipation of interest for the purpose of getting rid of the sur­ plus. DURING the month of July there was a net decrease of $6,663,748 in the cash in the Treasury and a net increase of $4,047,- 133 the circulation. , _"•» ,t , ; LABOR. 1 NEARLY five thousand Iron-workers in the Mahoning Valley have stopped work, owing to the refusal of the mill-owners to recognize a rule of the Amalgamated Asso­ ciation prohibiting any man from holding two "jobs " at the same time. It is expect­ ed that the strike will become general throughout the country. A NOVELTY in strikes is reported from Fulton, Mo., where fifteen female attend­ ants in the State Insane Asylum stopped work on ncoount of an increase in their hours of labor. . GENERAL. W. J. MCGARIGLE, the Chicago boodler, who escaped from the Sheriff of Cook County on the night of the 23d nit., is now Bafe in Canada. A dispatch from Sarnia, opposite Port Huron, Mich., says: McGarigle landed here Sunday morning from the schooner Kdward Blake. The Blake and the Marsh wore in the same tow, and while In American waters the tug Oriole, with Chicago detectives on board, steamed up to the Marsh, apparently with the intention of having them drop the Blake's towline. After a short conver­ sation the Blake't; towline was let go, but at the sitme instant a yawl left the schooner with McGarigle, and quickly rowed for the Canadian side, landing at Point Edward. McGarigle at once drove to Courtriyht, twelve miles down the river, ostensibly to catch a boat. He was, how­ ever. driven back to Sarnia. It is believed that be is nervous over bis safety in Canada, as he keeps away from the river, apparently fearing attempts at kidnaping. A SPECIAL dispatch from Chicago says: Mr. MoGarigie prot.au y retards his C'unudiitti retreat as a sate one, but .-nerilf Mutson hart not given up tho cnase. Within a tew hours after the newB reached him that his man was in Canada a Deputy i her ill was stxrted iu pur­ suit of thefug.tive. Before the aliernoon'had passed a movement was set on foot by a committee of citizens interested in the Srosecutlou of the "boodlers" to secure tcGarigla's extradition. Governor Cglesby will be asked for the nocessarv papers at once. Tbe grounds on which the Issue of such docu­ ments will be asked is that the Queen's sub­ jects entered into a conspiracy to procure the escapo of a convictod criminal, bevtral law- vers have been consulted on tho question, and have expressed the opinion that sufficient grounds exist for the extradition ot the ex- warden. , AN earthquake shock was felt through­ out Hlinois, Eastern Missouri, and Ten­ nessee early on the morning of Tuesday, the 2d inst. At St. Louis the earth trembled, and so violent was the move­ ment that thousands of families were awakened in that city and vicinity. The shocks were* sensibly felt at Nashville, Tenn. A large portion of land near Golden Pond, Trigg County, Ky., is reported to have sunk a half-dozen feet during the earthquake. The district is now slowly filling with water, and the dwellers on the land have been compelled to move out. Dis­ patches show that the earthquake was felt more or less severely at the following places: In Illinois--At Carbondale, Springfield, Hillsboro, Vandalia, Elizabethtown, Shaw- neetown, Decatur, and other points. In Indiana--At Vincennes, Indianapolis, and other points. On the 30th of June the city of C'uena, Ecuador, was almost de­ stroyed by earthquake shocks, but no loss of life is reported. Heavy damages re­ sulted from the shocks at Azogues and Canar. At Quito, Cuena, and other towns the oscillations are reported as of a fright­ ful character. Loss of life followed the disturbances at Guaranda, and at Guaya­ quil the shock broke all the telephone wires. THE LONG [T. WASHINGTON.

THE President will leave Washington the last of September 09 his moch-adver- tised tour, which will embrace St. Lonis, FOREIGN. RUSSIA has evidently determined to ex­ tirpate the German traders and German people in the. Baltic and Western prov­ inces, and has succeeded in affronting the German high-place dignitaries and the whole German commercial world. As a measure of retaliation the Reichstag will absolutely exclude all new Russian loans trom German market*, and in conjunction with the great financial houses, means will be taken for the gradual elimination of Russian securities. Retaliatory fiscal measures will be prepared, and the Czar and Emperor William will not meet. THE Berlin mercantile community is suc­ cessfully fighting anarchism and socialism with co-operative measures. MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK.

People in th« city, with a full supply of lake water and a lawn sprinkler at the command of every householder above the poorest grade, can have little idea of the condition of thiugs on the many thousands of • uare miles which constitute "the country" in the great Mississippi Valley. All over the West, with here and there a little oasis-like exception, the land isgparched dry and the subsoil moisture has long since been sucked out of it by the ecor.-hing rays of a mid­ summer sun. No rain of any consequence lias fallen since the hot weather set in, and the situation is all the worse,as a smaller quantity of moisture than usual fell during the winter, and very little in the spring months. The streams have given out and the wells run dry. Hu­ man beings are reported to be unable to obtain water unless by hauling it sev­ eral miles, and the cattle are moaning in (he fields because it is impossible to give them a good supply. Corn is wilt­ ing under the heat, the leaves firing, and tbe incipieut ooba shriveling. The grass was cut over large areas early in Jvie, a light yield being token off in the hope that a good second crop should be cut; but there has been no rain since, and con­ sequently no crop. Cattle are said to be turned into the standing corn already, because that is the only available way of using it for feed, as the stalks wonla soon be too dry for that purpose, and the ears are believed to be gone. Pwtpects of the Various Olubs--Better CLEVELAND AND THE VETERANS. The |owa Resolutions Formally Pre> sented to the President. [Associated Press dispatch from Washington.] Gen. Bosecrans recently received from Charles Whitehead, Chairman of the Com­ mittee on Resolutions of the National Vet­ eran Association, at Des Moines, Iowa, copies of the resolutions adopted by that association, repudiating the utterances oi certain members of the Grand Army of the Republic in connection with the proposed visit of the President to St Lonis while the Grand Army of the Republic encampment was in progress there, commend­ ing the President s veto of the dependent pension bill, and condemning the efforts of those who seek, by the rebel-flag epi­ sode, to rekindle the flames of sectional hate and contention as unmanly, un­ patriotic, and meriting the contempt of every intelligent man. The resolutions also compliment Gen. Black's administra­ tion of the Pension Office. Gen. Rosecrans, by request, delivered a copy of these resolu­ tions to the President, in a neat speech. President Cleveland, replying, said: Without reading tbe resolutions' presented by you in such a gratifying manner, I have only to say, judging from the tenor of your remarks, that ttie aotion of the veterans mentioned is in the direction of acknowledging the duty which devolves upon them as veterans, to emphasize the value of their service in the field by a patri­ otic service at home, and demonstrate the same bravery shown in the battle by courage no less conspicuous, when called upon to defend and maintain freedom and patriotism, which in pence is tbe safety of American institutions. Understanding this to be the purpose of the resolutions, I am glad to receive them at your hands. Gen. Bosecrans sent the resolutions to Commissioner Black by mail; The reso­ lutions were adopted by the National Vet­ erans' Association in mass convention July 15 laBt. Mr. Whitehead, in his letter, isked Gen. Rosecrans to present them in tbe name of 10,000 ex-Union soldiers of Iowa. - COLOXE#LONO. The Distinguished Traveler Whom the President Recently Appointed Consul General at Corea. Charles Chaille Long, of New York, known as a famous Centred African trav­ eler, was born in the town of Princess Anne, Md., and is 45 years old. After par­ ticipation in the campaigns of the civil war Captain Long left tue United States army and some time after entered the service of the Khedive of Egypt, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the staff. An ac­ complished linguist, he was chosen chief of staff to the late Gen. C. G. Gordon vmmm#" (Chinese Gordon) and accompanied the latter in that capacity to Central Africa. Under circumstances which render the re­ sult accomplished little less than marvel­ ous, he traced the river Nile for the first time from the Mediterranean to its source and was received by tbe African monarch, King M'Tse, in princely fashion. The impression made by the Khedive's soldier ana diplomatist was of such a nature that it assured to Henry M. Stanley, who visited him snbsequt ntiy, a kindly welcome by M'Tse. The King signed an instru­ ment by which he formally recognized himself as a vassal of Egypt. On his re­ turn journey Long discovered a third basin and source of the Nile. Subse­ quently, at the bead of a column of regu­ lar troops, he entered the Niam country, west of tbe Nile, and after many encoun­ ters with the savage tribes subjected th$t country to 4he Khedive's authority.

J Fourteen weeks of the League ohampion- ship season have passed, and the teams in the race, from the leaders to the tail-end- ers are playing better ball, upon the aver­ age, than has been known before in the history of the game professionally. In the opinion of nine ont of ten Chicagoans nothing short of tbe collapse of the team can prevent the White Stockings from winning the pennant again this season. This is a most gratifying change in the drift of public opinion and sentiment, for not more than six weeks ago an indignant public in this city was freely expressing its disgust at the policy of President Spald­ ing and Capt. Anson in releasing what was looked upon as tbe most valuable men in the team, and thus ruining the chances of the city for even a decent standing in this year's race. Messrs. Anson and Spalding, however, builded wiser than the public knew, with the result that Chicago has probably the most capable ball team to­ day that it ever* had. The race thus far has been a desperate struggle from the start. With such strong clubs as Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York, Bos­ ton, and Detroit ahead of him, Anson's task to pilot his own nine to the top was thought to be too great for the famous captain to accomplish. But he has done it, thanks to his own matchless guidance and the wonderful playing of his rflten, and to-day he stands the same excellent chance of winning the flap: as he did at this time last year. The spurt made by the Chica- gos is without a parallel in the history of the league. It is a record such as will prob­ ably not be made again in years. Letters of a congratulatory nature have been pouring in upon Anson from all sections of the country for more than a month past, and there seems not to be a sign remaining of the condemnatory and critical spirit that existed everywhere against Anson and the club at the outset of the season. HOME AGAIN. The champions returned last week from their second Eastern trip, and are now upon the Chicago grounds for a series of games with all the Eastern clubs and three games with Detroit. The boys are playing pen­ nant ball in every game. The three bat­ teries are in splendid form, and every man in the team has got his eyes on the ball. Sullivan, Pfeffer, Clarkson and Baldwin have picked up in their batting the past week, whilfe Burns, Van Haltren and Will­ iamson have dropped off a little. The most pronounced feature of the team's play is the field-work of Pfeffer, Burns ana Williamson. The latter is without doubt the finest short stop in the League. His play, which was always good, has become phenomena], and is attracting attention all over the country. Glasscock's title of "King of Short Stops" is rapidly waning in the light of Williamson's work. Pfeffer is also playing remarkable ball, and the same may be said of Burns. The out-field ap­ pears to be pretty near impregnable. Sul­ livan is covering more ground than a sum­ mer squash-vine, and Ryan, in center, is attending to nearly everything that comes his way. BOSTON'S WORK. As for Boston, the team next to Chicago in the race, there seems to be something between its players and winning ball which even the influence of the great and only Kelly can not dispel. It seems to be peculiarly unfortunate away from home. When the boys from the Hub came West early in the summer Kelly got so badly crippled that he could not play. Several other members of tbe team were suffering from injuries. The boys had not been away from home two days on the present trip when Hornung was taken ill and bad to be left in New York. Kelly is now doubled np with cramps, and is scarcely able to play. With Kelly and Hornung out of condition, there isn't much left in the Boston team to whip. The club will be in great luck if it regains the ground^it has lost during the past week. THE OTHER CLUBS. It would be well for everybody to keep an eye on Philudelphia and New York. These clubs are not so very far behind, and, what is more interesting, they are playing stronger ball as the season advances. One or both of theBe clubs will cause some trouble. Of the tail-enders Pittsburgh has been playing the bettor ball during the past week. The fielding of this team has been very fine all season, but they are still lamentably weak with the stick. If this club had had a half-dozen good batters at the beginning of the season it would have a hand in the fight to-day. Indianapolis and Washington are showing a marked improvement in playing strength, the Eastern club in particular playing some of the greatest ball recorded this year. A great many people seem to have made up their minds that Detroit is going to take a very big tumble in the race. One Chicago paper in particular expresses the opinion that it will be beaten out by Chicago, Boston, and New York, and that even Philadelphia will give it a tough tussle before the season ends. In tbe opinion of your correspondent this is a mistaken idea. In the face of all this sort of predictions that have been made for a month past, Detroit has gone right along playing good ball, defeating the League's best teams, and staying at the top of the string in the race, and the probabilities would, to an unprejudiced mind, seem to point to its continuing as it is unless Chicago alone among all the other clubs can overtake it. Dnring the past week the management of tbe Wolverines has spent no less than $3,000 in securing new players, a fact which proves more conclusively than any­ thing else that the club intends staying in the League for not only the present season bnt so many more as it chooses. The three men secured in the latest deals are good ones. Gruber, the successful pitcher of the Hartford (Conn.) Club, was the first one signed, and he has been tried and has given satisfaction. The others are Beatin and Kinslow, the crack battery of the Allentown (Pa.) Club, and if rec­ ords count for anything they will prove valuable additions to tbe nine. With the new material thuB secured the club has a great deal more material than is needed, and it is but natural to suppose that some of those who are considered the least use­ ful will be allowed to go. The probabili­ ties are that Briody and We id man will be among those which the club will let go. /\ CON CBEGAN. Mpii* iliii w „ J-LA * '"toiuiifl MSIki^r&L:4 ~.W-?

His Eminence Giovanni Simeoni, an Italian Cardinal, was born at Paliano, in the diocese of Palestrina, July 23, 1816, and having been ordained priest, he was, on account of his solid learning, employed in offices of considerable importance. In 1817 he was Auditor of the Nunciature of Madrid. After sonde years we find him in Eome, Prefect of Studies In the Pontifical Lyceum of the Roman Seminary and mmm Protto©notary Apostolic Participant, for many years he was Secretary of th£ Con­ gregation of the Propa anda, and ifb Con- suiter he belongs to the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition, to the propaganda for affairs of the Oriental Rite, to the Council for the revision ot" Provincial Councils and for extraordinary ecclesias­ tical affairs. When the Ecumenical Coun­ cil of the Vatican was called M^r. Simeo­ ni was one of the Consulters for the Com­ mission of Oriental Churches and Missions and for Ecclesiastical Discipline. March 15. lb?5, Pius IX. created him a Cardinal,' and on the death of Cardinal Antonelli, in 1876, he was appointed Secretary of State to Pius IX.--an office which he re­ tained until the death of that Pontiff. He was succeeded as Secretary of State by Cardinal Franchiln 1878, when Pope Leo 4p£III. appointed Cardinal Simeoni Prefoot of the Propaganda. ELECTION IN KENTUCKY. EDITOR ANTHONY'S PISTOL. An Amnting Seen* In a Leavenworth Po­ lice Court. * fLeavenworth (Kan.) special.] . Zl has been Anthony vs. Bond and Bond vs. Anthony St the Police Court all day, and at 5 o'clock a rather dramatic incident occurred. The case being tried was one charging Colonel D. R. Anthony, the editor of the Times, with carrying con­ cealed weapons, and three witnesses had sworn that the pnekage on the desk in front of the Colonel was like the one in which he was accused of carrying around, as the prosecuting attorney remarked, "a piece of artillery." Mr. Baker, prosecuting attor­ ney, asked that the court instruct the Mar­ shal to open the parcel, that all present might see how C'olond Anthony was violating the law under the very nose of the honorable Court. Judge Hunter decided that he had no right to give the de­ sired permission. At that point Col. An­ thony arose from his seat and. approach­ ing bis Honor's de&. said: "I have re­ fused the right of the Prosetfating Attorney The Democratic State Ticket Kleeted-- Small Labor and Prohibition Vote. [Louisville (Ky.) telegram.] The election for State and legislative offioers passed off quietly. The vote does not seem to have been large. The Labor and Prohibition votes are smaller than was anticipated. In Louisville the Demo­ cratic majority is about 2,000, a Democratic gain of nearly 2,000 over last election. The city elects a solid Democratic legisla­ tive ticket and defeats local option by a heavy majority. Meager returns from the State indic ate Republican, gains, but the Democratic ticket's estimated majority will bo from 25,000 to 35,000 votes. The Leg­ islature will be largely Democratic, and will elect a United States Senator in Jan- nary to succeed Senator Beck. Mrs. General Logan's Painful Iujnry. [Washington telegram.] Surgeon General Hamilton, assisted by Manning Logan and Major Tucker, reset Mrs. John A. Logan's fractured shoulder- blade aud elbow, tbe surgeon having made the discovery that tbe parts had begun to knit in the wrong places. The operation was entirely successful, and Mrs. Logan, though suffering intense pain, is reported to be resting quietly without suffering any ill effects from the ether she inhaled. An immense migration movement to Western Siberia of the peasants and far­ mers of central Russia is in progress. An agricultural crisis is threatened as a result of tbe exodus, and the Government is about to put a stop to it. CHARLES H.
