THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. 1893.
REVOLTED IN ARGENTINA.
PEESIDENT SAENZ-PEN A EEGAEDED
AS A TYRANT,
General PelliRrini'a Campaien-The Oouatry
Divided and Serious fighting Near.
Not Much of an Army.
Buenos Ayres, Sept. 25.-Ex-President
Pelligrini, undismayed by the threat of the
rebels to shoot him on the spot if he again
falls into their hands, has safely landed
before Tucumen and telegraphs here that
he expects the rebels soon to surrender.
Other advices say the foreign colonists of
Santa Fe and its neighborhood are joining
the rebellion and some bloody engagements
between the rebels and the government are
expected hourly.
As the dispatch Is sent the whole Argen-
tine Republic is convulsed with excitement
and the revolution is in progress through-
out the north at least. Government reports
may attempt to belittle the situation, but
this does not alter the fact that the Ar-
gentine Republic is taking up arms for and
against President Saenz-Pena. 'there has
been severe lighting throughout the dis-
turbed district and more blood will be shed
t0Atas'anta Fe some of the national troops
have already sided with the rebels and the
latter expect to receive further reinforce-
ments from the same source. This is the
situation from the rebel standpoint. On
the other hand, ex-President Pelligrini is
leaving no stone unturned to crush the re-
bellion, and knows his life depends on suc-
cess or failure to do so. With the object
of defeating his enemies, as the rebellion
is as much aimed at Pelligrini as at Suenz-
Pena, the adherents of the ex-president
have organized, armed and equipped the na-
tional guards of the districts of San Louis,
Santiago and Cordoba and some lively fight-
ing is looked forward to.
The important province of Entre Rios
Is sodding several batnllions of its nationr.l
guard to support Pelligrini, and he soon
liupes to have an army large enough to sub-
due the enemy.
Later dispatches received show that the
.situation is growing more serious every
hour. The rebels are now pressing Santa
Fe, cn the east bank of Rio Salado and live
miles from Bajada de Santa Fe, the capital
of Entre Rios. The population of Santa
Fe is about 12,000 and it has an extensive
trade with the interior. In this province
and its capital the national guards have
been called to arms and large bodies or
these troops will- be sent to the front as
soon as they are armed and equipped.
The Argentine army consists of 7500 men.
The national guards number 35,000 in all.
If necessary, every man the government
can muster will be placed under arms and
sent to the front. The rebels insist that
the president and his supporters can only
count upon the loyalty of a portion of the
national guard.
The police of this city have been organ-
ized into a military force and will probably
be sent to the front with detachments of
the national guard. The railroads are
kept busy carrying troops, ammunition and
provisions. General Rocas has been given
command of the Argentine forces arrayed
against the rebels.
Buenos Ayres, 4.30 p. m., Sept. 25.—The
town of Rosario is in the hands of the
rebels. The national troops have retreated
to San Nicholas, five miles distant.
NEWSPAPER SUSPENDED.
Buenos Ayres, Sept. 25.—The newspaper
La Nacion has been ordered to suspend
publication for one week.
Miguel Gana will succeed the president
director of the posts, who was a radical.
All telegraphic communication with the
Interior has been stopped. It is reported
that the naval squadron is likely to join
the rebellion.
— y;n.
FRANCE AGGRESSIVE.
Paris, Sept. 25.—It would seem that the
French government has resolved to make
another serious demonstration against
Siam. France is undoubtedly nettled at
the criticisms of the foreign press regarding
her alleged backdown before England's
firm attitude in the Siamese question and
no second backdown may be anticipated.
The Gaulols announces this morning that
the French government has already dis-
patched several additional cruisers to Slam
and that M. DeVillers, the special envoy
of France at Bangkok, will receive the
strongest support in his efforts to Insist
upon the evacuation of territory ceded to
France by the agreements of August last.
France does not intend to wait as the
Siamese would have her do until the water
in the rivers is so low that French gun-
boats could not run up them and enforce
the demands of France.
THE BARCELONA CRIME.
Barcelona, Sept. 25. — The excitement
caused by the attempt of the anarchist
Pallia* to kill General Campos yesterday
continues. The general is resting easily
and recovering from his wounds. Thirteen
of his staff were injured. The number of
spectators Injured is not known and prob-
ably never will be, as many were taken to
private houses and several carried to the
hospitals. The police are making thorough
inquiry and expect to have startling evi-
dence to present when Palllas and his fel-
low prisoners are brought to trial. Twenty
additional arrests have been made. The
police have possession of a document
which shows that a widespread conspiracy
aiming at the assassination of certain
prominent men Is in existence.

BRAZIL OFFICIALLY.
London, Sept. 25.—'The Brazilian minister
In this city has received the following:
"Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 24.—The revolution
is growing weaker day by day. Admiral
De Mellos Is reduced to the last extremity.
All the states denounce his attempt to
overthrow the present government and the
people are enthusiastic for Peixoto's gov-
ernment. The army generally is loyal.
The city is as tranquil as if no revolt had
occurred and the government is fully confi-
dent It is sufficiently powerful to maintain
its authority."
NIHILISTIC VAPORINGS.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 25.—The authorities
have received Information to the effect
that Russian Nihilists propose to circulate
in France many thousands of circulars
printed in violent language, protesting
against the visit of the Russian fleet to
Toulon. These circulars will say: "Their
hand» are those of Russian officers pre-
sumed to be stained with the blood of
Siberian exiles. You who were ordered
to kiss them should spit. In the face of the
criminals of the Russian squadron and cry,
'Vive le brotherhood nations.' "
TYPHUS AT FRE1DRICHSRUHE.
Berlin, §ept. 25.-A dispatch from Kis-
slngen says the cause for delaying the re-
turn of Prince Bismarck to Frledrlchsruhe

Bismarck, therefore, does not wish the
prince return to Frledrlchsruhe until the
woman can be removed from there.

MORAL WAVE AT PITTSBURG.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 25.—The ministers
of Alleghany have begun a crusade against
ili» aocial evil itud proceedings will be en-
tered against all persons who maintain
houses of ill fame or rent houses for im-
moral purposes.
SNAKES AND THE LAW.
The Row Between Lemen, the Showman,
and the Karlavoges.
Waco, Tex., Sept. 25.—Mr. Frank Lemen,
manager and one of the proprietors of
the Lemen Bros, circus and menagerie,
arrived here last night and met more than
one trouble. Among the parties arrested
on a charge of forcibly ejecting newly em-
ployed roustabouts from the train was
Keeper Fisher, who is the only man with
the show able to control with safety the
big elephant. After some trouble the man-
ager got his elephant keeper out in time
to take part in the parade.
The next embarrassment arose from a
disagreement between the manager and
Mr. and Mrs. George G. Karlavoge. Mr.
Karlavoge Is a tattood man, his entire
body being brightly illustrated in several
colors with representations of birds, rep-
tiles and all sorts of fantastic pictures,
and he exhibits his person. Mj*s. Karla-
voge has a varied collection of snakes,
some of which are regarded as venemous,
and these she handles wilh impunity. To-
gether Mr. Karlavoge and his wife, with
their basket ol' snakes, form an important
annex to the circus.
The quarrel between Mr. Lemen and the
Karlavoge family began before they
reached here, and Mrs. Karlavoge quit and
returned to St. Louis, Mr. Karlavoge re-
maining with the show. During the ab-
sence of his wife Mr. Karlavoge employed
a lady member of the company to manage
the snakes.
Last night Mrs. Karlavoge returned and
this morning she and her husband demand-
ed possession of the snakes. The demand
was made in the form of a letter from their
attorneys in behalf of the Karlavoges, pre-
sented by Constable Dee Cook. Mr. Frank
Lemen refused to surrender the snakes. He
stated that the Karlavoges had both of
them signed with him for the season and
he was unwilling to absolve them from the
contract.
The Karlavoges then brought an attach-
ment suit before Justice J. T. Harrison for
$75. which they claimed the Lemens owed
them for salary. The constable served the
writ on Mr. Frank Lemen and attached a
very large, decorated quarter pole wagon,
which Mr. Lemen Immediately recovered
by replevin bond. He said:
"I would have paid Mr. Karlavoge and
his wife any just claim they might pre-
sent. They have made no demand on me.
I shall resist at law this and any other
action they may bring with a view to
enforcing my agreement with them. They
have signed with me for the season, and I
need them both and their snakes, too."
Mr. Karlavoge and his wife, 'who is a
young lady of very attractive appearance,
accompanied Constable Cook to the circus
grounds when he went to serve the papers.
Mrs. Karlavoge seemed much distressed
when told that Mr. Lemen was Indisposed
to let the snakes go. It was raining hard
and all the parties stood under Umbrellas
on a vacant lot In front of the big tent.
Mrs. Karlavoge said: "What will we do?
If we get out a writ of sequestration Mr.
Lemen will repossess them under bond, and
he will keep our snakes, won't he?"
Constable Cook informed her that such
a course would be open to Mr. Lemen.
Mr. Karlavoge said: "I am puzzled how
to proceed. If Mr. Lemen had treated us
right my wife would not have left him.
If he keeps our snakes they will die for
want of proper care."
Mrs. Karlavoge said: "When I quit him
It cancelled the contract, see? We can
earn $50 a week with them. They have to
be fed on rabbits, birds and chickens. I
am obliged with them, but I won't go
with Lemen Bros', show any longer. Now,
that is positive, and I want my snakes."
She stood guard over her snakes until
her husband brought suit of sequestration
before Justice Harrison. Constable Cook
returned and served the writ, and Mr.
Lemen made no further contest but sur-
rendered the entire lot of boxes, snakes and
all. Mrs. Karlavoge drove with them to
her hotel and after counting them care-
fully and feeding them on live kittens and
pigeons, she put them to bed, remarking
as she shut them In, "I am happy once
more."
The parade and the afternoon and night
performances came off as per appointment.
TERRIBLE TOWN FIRE.

down In short hand, and while Its contents
are not made public it is asserted it tells
of a widely ramifying gang of thieves
whose depredations have taken In nearly
the whole of Texas, but more especially
in the Panhandle and Oklahoma and also
Oklahoma and Indian territory.
A MISSING SCHOONER.
Gloucester, Mass., Sept. 25.—The schooner

SMITH HAD THE WORST OF IT PEOM
VEKY EARLY.
His Theory of Soma: at Dixon Met With
Eoientiflo Refutation in Seven
Rounds.
Coney Island Athletic Club, N. Y., Sept.
25.—There were 8000 people at the club to-
night. George Dixon's seconds were George
Godfrey, Jack Narlin and Tom O'Rourke.
Solly Smith chose Billy Delaney, Steward
Smith and Jack Oliver.
Round 1: On call of time Smith made a
rush and there was a clinch. Dixon tried
three of his famous left hand swings for
Smith's face, but Solly dodged them. Dixon
sent his right on the ear. Smith went to
the floor in a clean knockdown.
The third round was full of excitement.
Smith went down four times.
In the fourth round Dixon gained another
knockdown. Both fought hard.
In the fifth Dixon sent Smith to his
knees. Smith came back with a right-
hander on the nose and Dixon got a cut
that made him bleed. The blow almost
staggered the featherweight champion of
the world and he did no more fighting for
the moment. Smith gained confidence and
sailed in but swung his hand too high
and Dixon lived. Dixon became full of
business again and slugged Solly three
times In the face, getting only one good
punch in return.
Sparring opened the sixth round, then
Dixon caught another on the nose, renew-
ing the flow of blood. Smith smash ad Dix-
on In the mouth, and the colored pugilist
rushed and missed. His eye is closed, and
his nose resembles a piece of raw beef
steak.
The seventh round settled the thing.
Smith came out from his corner looking
strong enough, though he had his right eye
well blacked. Smith planted his right and
left on Dixon's body, and got away with-
out reply. He kept Away and clinched
when cornered. Dixon finally floored Smith
with a terrific straight right. The Call-
fornian staggered to his feet only to t*
floored again. Again he arose lust as the
gong sounded, but was too weak to keep
his feet and fell again near the corner. He
gamely staggered once more to his feet,
and, reeling like a drunken man, essayed
to continue, but the referee advanced be-
tween the two men and motioned h'm back
to his corner. Dixon was then declared the
winner In the seventh round.
NOW FOR PLIMMER.
A few weeks ago Dixon in contemplation
of winning this fight wrote as follows con-
cerning his recent contest with Billy Pllm-
mer, champion bantam of the world, who
Is anxious to contest the featherweight
championship with the colored lad:
There are losers and losers. If a man Is
squarely beaten in an athletic contest of
any kind he has no right to complain. If
however he thinks an Injustice has been
done him he has the privilege which Amer-
icans as well as Britons usually assume-
to growl. I do not wish to be considered
as entering the baby plea, but I think the
action of Referee O'Donnell in awarding
the decision to Billy Plimmer of England
over me on the occasion of our recent four
round contest at Madison square garden
was not exactly in accordance with the
strict rules of fair play.
When Baby wan sick, we gave hor (Jantoria.
Whan she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Minn, alio clung to Castoria.
Whau ahe had Children, ah© gave the in Caatoria.
GEORGE DTXON,
It Is not fair to take away the reputation
a man has spent years in building up upon
the result or a four round bout unless one
of the contestants is either completely
knocked out or is worsted at every point
in the encounter. This principle has ever
obtained in this country, now the home
of manly art. The same rule holds good
in Bngland and Australia, the two next
best fighting countries on earth. Had not
that rule prevailed John L. Sullivan, Peter
Jackson, Jack Dempsey and Jack McAu-
llffe would have had their reputations seri-
ously endangered if not Irretrievably lost
on more than one occasion. When John L.
Sullivan broke his arm on Patsy Cardiff's
hard head some years ago It wn§ all he
could do to stay the four rounds and Car-
diff more than held his own, yet the ref-
eree called It a draw. So, too, with Peter
Jackson, when ill prepared for a bruising
contest he went up against Joe Goddard
in Australia for eight rounds. Peter, so
printed reports say, had the better of the
battle for four rounds. In the next four
big Joe, so these same reports maintain,
reversed the tables and had slightly the
call on Peter. Yet the referee decided the
affair a draw. Jack Dmpsey had twice or
thrice the same experience in his career
and not many weeks ago bold Jack Mc-
Auliffe had a shade the worst of it in a
four round bout at Philadelphia with Hor-
ace Leeds, a comparative novice. Yet the
Nrel'eree in Dempsey's case and the referee
in that of McAuliffe did not take away
their reputations by deciding against them.
No finish fights alone should either make
or mar a man. A champion's reputation
should be only won or lost In battle to
the end. Four, six, eight or ten-round
bouts should not count. Many a champion
has had far and away the worst or it
In the first part of a battle and yet won
handily at the termination of the engage-
ment. Witness the famous battles between
John Morrissey and John C. Heenan, Tom
Sayers and Rill Perry. "The Tipton
SlaBher" and Tom King and Jem Mace.
In all of these contests Morrissey, Sayers
and King had away the worst of the en-
counter In the beginning, vet they won the
good fight. How unjust In these cascB
It would have been In the event of the mag-
isterial interference at the first Dart of the
fray to have given the stakes and thr title
of champion to the man apparently having
the better of It.
So with limited round contests. It Is un-
just to take away a champion's good name
even though he should have a bit the worst
of It. In the»e affairs the widest latitude
should be permitted and the greatest gener-
osity exercised by the referee.
I am not only willing but anxious to fight
Billy Plimmer to a finish. If I am as for-
tunate in my coming battle with Solly
Smith of California for the featherweight
championship of the world as I was In my
contest with the champions of America,
England and Australia, I will lose no time
in making overtures to the little English-
man. I am willing to meet him half way
in any plan looking to a meeting. As cham-
pion In my class I can not be expected to
make all the concessions, as Billy, or some
discreet friend of his, says I must. It takes
two to make a contract, and he must make
some concessions as well as I.
And here let me correct a false Impres-
sion which prevails In some quarters. Many
people believe that because Billv Plimmer
got the decision over me at our recent con-
test that he Is now champion featherweight
of the world. This Is not so. I still retain
that title and will for some time yut unless
Solly Smith lowers my colors on the 25th
of September.
Here, too, let me correct another Impres-
sion, which, fortunately, only a few people
entertain, viz: That my contest with Plim-
mer was a fake and that 1 was laying low
for favorable odds in my match with Smith
and a finished battle with Plimmer. There
Is not the slightest ground for any such
belief. I would not throw a fight for all the
money there is in the' national treasury.
I have been on the level all my life and will
remain so whether I am victor or van-
quished.
CORBETT SIGNED.
New York,' Sept. 25.—James J. Corbett
signed formal articles of agreement at
Asbury Park this morning to fight Charles
Mitchell, who has already signed the arti-
cles.
'TWAS GOOD BALL, TOO.
On Friday Chicago and Baltimore faced
each other In the Windy City. Nine goose
eggs for the oyster pirates, and one tally
for Chicago in the ninth inning. The Inter
Ocean's account of the game Is as fol-
lows:
There are times when sobriety of temper
is an essential precaution. Too much ex-
citement is detrimental to the gearing of
the nervous system. However thrilling an
event may be, it is best fo be calm. It is
a medical fact that over exertion of aexota,
where the nerve center is situated, will,
without fail, lead to cataclasm of the semi-
colon and watery consummation of lower
lobe of the apocalypse. These facts were
secured at the Pan-American congress of
physicians after a large outlay of time
and money. They are particularly perti-
nent at this time, because about 1000 cranks
who witnessed that game of ball between
Baltimore and Chicago yesterday are wan-
dering around In the great throbbing world
this morning with their semicolons terribly
cataclasted.
For eight innings neither side made a
run. Everybody played particularly fine
ball. Twice Chicago came very near scor-
ing. On two different occasions they failed,
and the bleachers moaned with a noise
like a cannibal who has swallowed a 'fish-
hook peddler without going through his
pockets.
It was In the first inning that Coyote
Camp was presented first base on balls.
Wabbly Wllmot wagged his blffstick up
against the ball for one sacrifice. Dahlen
cruised to first on extinct curves. Auld
Syne Lange bumped into the ball for an-
other sacrifice. On second and third bases
were Colts burning to be spirited in home
by a swat.
Never More Decker, eager to shatter any-
thing he could, came up. There was a re-
verberating roar and the ball whistled
away through the air. Heliogabulus Mc-
Graw also whistled through the air in
an opposite direction. McGraw and the
ball met and stuck together like two lone
girls when a tramp Is trying to break in
through the back door. That retired the
side.
On Baltimore's side It was equally har-
rowing. In the second Valhalla Reltz
stroked the fuzz on the ball for a puny hit.
Lange tried to catch him on second and
threw wild, and he stole clear around to
third. It looked squally. The air thumped
like a volcano with the crater plugged up.
Many a horny tongued son of toil on the
bleacheries buried his teeth in the soft
pine boards and pulled out knots in sheer
anguish. Shindig Jennings belted the ball
out to Irwin. Reitz seized himself pas-
sionate and bore down on the plate. Irwin
shot the ball in with a scream of triumph
and Reltz died.
So the game went along. It was almost
faultless and was voted to be the be3t of
the year. When the ninth inning hove In
Bight and rteither' side had made a run.
it was conceded that no one would win
out.
Tony Mullane was firing In balls so thick
and fast that the air between the home
plate and the box wore out and was full
of splinters. McGUl pushed the curves
away from him with rapidity enough to
stock a gang of train-robbers for a year.
The ninth Inning came. Never More
Decker stepped up lightly.
"He's a pudding" yelled a coarse, un-
couth man from Streator.
With a slight turn of his classically
poised head Never More Decker looked
askance at the man and doffed his hat.
He also doffed a large wad of badly mu-
tilated fine-cut. At the same time he
stretched out Into the future and did as
is hereinafter set forth and described as
follows, to-wit, vi1*.:
He buried liia bat in the ball. It. shot
straight out to center field, There was a
sputter, n burst of flame, a flash of sparks,
and an echo that bumped up against the
beetling eiygs of Pike's Peak and set the
boulders rolling. The yellow fence near the
club house trembled for a second and col-
lapsed, with the ball under it. Decker
gouged the government of. by and for the
people, with Iiis feet, and before the Bal-
timores could get the lumber off the ball
he had reached third.
Ea^an was at the bat. He struck out,
Robinson fired the ball to catch Decker,
who was hovering near home. The ba'l
struck him, glanced off, nnd he came
home with a hup, skip and <i Jump. Thnt
was the one run of the game. It was too
exciting to Wit about.

TRAIN ROBBERS CADGHT.
SMALLPOX IN NEW YORK.

smallpox were reported to the bureau of
contagious diseases tills morning.

A DUMMY TRAIN WAS MADE UP TO
DECEIVE THEM.
The Plan Succeeded—All the Assailants
Killed or Captured—The Scheme
Was Known.
St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 25.-8ix would-be
train robbers were caught in a trap this
morning. Two of them were killed, three
captured and one escaped, The Kansas
City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs railroad
was the Intended victim. The robbers who
were killed are Fred Kohler and Hugo
Gleatz; the three men captured are N. A.
Hurst, Henry Carver and Charles Freder-
icks, but they were decoys and were not
connected with the robbery. John Glelti
escaped .
The train which the bandits attempted
to rob was south-bound passenger train
No, 3, which arrives here at 12.30 in the
morning. The officials of the road had
been notified that a robbery of the road
had been planned, and they notified the
police.
When the train arrived here a dummy
train was made up and sixteen police
officers under the command of the chief
of police put on board.
In order to thoroughly deceive the rob-
bers the train was made an exact dupli-
cate of train No. 3, and consisted of an
engine and tender, an express and bag-
gage car and the usual coaches and Pull-
mans.
When the decoy reached a point two
miles north of St. Joseph the engineer's
attention was arrested by a lighted lan-
tern moving to and fro between the rails.
He obeyed the signal and soon six masked
men surrounded the engine. One of the
bandits mounted the train and presented
one revolver at the engineer's head, an-
other at the fireman's, keeping them in
subjection while the other men attempted
to rob the express car. They ordered the
messenger to open the door, which he did
forthwith. The officers at once opened
fire on the robbers with the above result.
Garver and Frederlchs gave It away
last week that an attempt was to be
made. It was expected last Friday, but
they mistook the train for a freight and
the express got by them. Train No. 3 Is
the regular fast express from St. Louis
and Kansas City. The robbers were all
residents of St. Joe. Kohler, who was the
ringleader, fired several shots at the po-
lice after having been shot himself and
fallen.
Glelt*. the on-iy one of the robbers
whom the officers failed to capture when
the train was attacked, was captured this
afternoon,' He denied connection with the
gang, but the fact that one of his hands
has been shot off does not give the denial
credence.
PROMINENT CHOCTAW KILLED.
South McAlester, I. T„ Sept. 25.—Last
night South McAlester was thrown Into
a fever of excitement, occasioned by the
killing of Ben Foreman, a prominent
Choctaw, who lives near South Canadian,
I. T. Deceased and the killer had just re-
turned from Fort Smith, Ark. Foreman
was stopping at the residence of A. J,
Mattox, and had pulled off his clothes pre-
paratory to going to bed, when the homi-
cide walked In without ceremony. Fore-
man was heard to remark, "Get out of
here, you g— d — — —when five
shots were fired by the intruding party,
three of them taking effect, killing Fore-
man Instantly. The killer walked out of
the house and escaped. Officers are In pur-
suit.
Foreman was a prominent Jones man,
while the killer is a very prominent Jack-
son man. The late Choctaw troubles,
mixed with bad whisky and a woman,
caused the trouble. The feeling of the two
parties is Intense In bitterness, and It is
regarded as certain that further troubles
will ensue.
Forbes Orubbs, another Choctaw, was
called out last night, but fearing assassina-
tion, did not respond. The caller, after
waiting a few minutes, left without trying
to force an entrance.
ARRESTS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
San Francisco, Cal„ Sept. 25,—The police
were scouring the town to obtain a clew to
the identity of the fiends who caused Sat-
urday night's explosion. Chief of Police
Crowley says he believes the coast sea-
men's union responsible for the deed and
that members of the union knew the ex-
plosion was to occur. The chief to-day or-
dered the arrest of Secretary Fuerhest of
the union and he was taken Into custody.
Fuerhest denies all knowledge of the crime
and vigorous pumping by the nolle.! failed
to extract any information from him.
Governor Markham has offered a reward
of $1000 for the arrest and conviction of the
men responsible for the crime. Several
other arrests have been made to-night,
PERRY ISRATCHER LYNCHED.

ing of Perry Bratcher about twenty miles

reckless driving. He was repeatedly
warned to desist, but refused and in at-
tempt to arrest him he was killed for re-
sisting. Buck was never tried, but Linse
and Sheffield stood trial and were ac-
quitted by court martial.
BAR THEM OUT.
Cleveland Leader.
The events of the last few months have
done much to arouse public opinion on the
immigration question, but every riot in
Chicago must help to bring about a state
of things which will protect American In-
stitutions from new invasions of anarch-
ists and American wage earners from ex-
cessive and onerous competition.
CONGRESSIONAL CIGARS.
Boston Herald,
It is contended that the quality of the
cigars smoked by some of the members of
congress had a powerful influence in se-
curing the adoption of the new rule of the
house prohibiting the smoking of tobacco
on the floor of that branch, some of the
most inveterate cigar smokers Joining in
the movement to suppress the noxious
fumes. If this Is true, bad cigars are to
be credited with having accomplished a
useful and salutary purpose in the affairs
of men.

LOVE AND ROGUERY.
James Spruan and His Wife Inseparable
Even in Prison.
Globe-Democrat.
Chicago, 111.—Two veteran thieves were
captured on the world's fair grounds-
James Spruan, alias Spruhan, alias Harri-
gan, and his wife, Mary—whose pictures
hang In every rogues' gallery In the coun-'
try, and who are known from Maine to
California, and from Minnesota to Florida.
As they sat In the office of Chief Bonfleld
of the secret service, the aged couple,
whose venerable and respectable appear-
ance gave no clew to their history, ap-
peared to take their arrest as a matter
not to be worried over. They were caught
In the California building in the very act
of plying their trade. Mary is an ex-
pert pickpocket, her husband acting sim-
ply as receiver. Four purses and about
$300 were found on Spruan. Mary had two
purses In her possession which she man-
aged to get rid of. When the counle were
turned over to the Chicago city police and
taken to headquarters they were at once
Identified as criminals of wide reputation.
The story of the lite -of these old-timers—
the woman is 63 years of age and the man
C5—while it is an unbroken record of crime.
Is one of devotion to each other which is
quite pathetic. Only prison walls have
been allowed to separate husband and wife
since they were married, forty-two years
ago. They have no home. It Is said that
they were originally from St. Louis but
they have been absent from that city for
so long a time that it can no longer claim
the honor of their citizenship. The woman
has served two terms in the San Quentin
prison in California. The first time she
was arrested In San Francisco. Although
her husband was working with her all
the time there was no proof against him.
Mary swore he was innocent of all blame.
He said nothing until the Judge had sen-
tenced his wife to three years at hard la-
bor. Then, springing to his feet, he cried
out:
"I am as guilty as she is. Judge. It is
unjust to sentence her without me."
"Do not believe him, judge," said the
woman, "he Is Innocent. He only wants
to go to prison with me."
Her word was taken, and husband and
wife were separated, but during her term
he lingered around the penitentiary, pick-
ing up odd Jobs and working at his trade,
that of a carpenter. Whenever the au-
thorities permitted he visited his wife, and
denied himself everything to purchase littla
things for her comfort. Her conduct was
so exemplary that she did not serve her
full term. When the prison doors opened
to let his wife pass through "Old Jim'*
stood ready to take her by the hand.
Again Mary was taken in the act of pick-
ing pockets, that time at a fair at Los
Angeles, and her husband was then im-
plicated. In court, sentence of five years
was passed upon her, and three upon him.
Following the sentence was a dramatic
scene. Spruan rose and cried:
"Judge! Judge! don't send that old woman
to prison for five years and me for only
three. I am as guilty as she Is. It is for
me she steals. I make her do It. Make my
sentence two years longer."
The judge, protesting that he ought not
to do it, did sentence the man to five
years, and it is a matter of police record
that Spruan there in open court fell upon
his knees, and with tears streaming down
his old, battered cheeks, thanked God and
the judge that he could this time go with
his wife to prison. That happened In Au-
gust, 1889. Last fall they were released
from San Quentin, their conduct being such
as to again shorten the sentence.
When arrested at the world's fair almost
the same scene was re-enacted. Spruan
begged not to be separated from his wife,
and insisted that they were Innocent. Jus-
tice Porter tried them and held both to the
Cook county criminal court in $1000 bonds,
which were not forthcoming, and they were
taken to the jail, with a bright prospeci
before them of ending their days at the
Joliet prison. The woman is not now, and
never has been, a good looking woman.
She has, however, in her amiable moments,
rather a motherly face. Spruan Is said to
be an old soldier and a Grand Army man.
They were attending the fair as representa-
tives of the Grand Army and of California,
having for so many years enjoyed the hos-
pitality of that state, They reached Chi-
cago last week, coming direct from the
Grand Army reunion at Indianapolis.
WAS NOT INDISPENSABLE.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
He is in the employ of one of the largest
manufacturing firms in the city and is
also a nephew of the sonlor partner. Some
time ago he left on Friday evening to stay
over Sunday at a summer resort which is
quite near. When he arrived he found as
he expected the girls very, very attractive
and late Saturday afternoon decided that
he could not tear himself away on Sunday,
so he telegraphed his immediate boss as
follows:
"Do you need me? If not, I shall stay."
The telegram was of course received, but
no attention was paid to it, and the sender,
thinking something wrong, reported at the
office bright and early Monday morning.
Finding everything all right and nothing
being said about the telegram he Immedi-
ately kicked himself for coming home.
E'or several hours he worked along with
poor grace. Finally word w.as brought to
him that his uncle, wanted to see him and
quaking with fear he obeyed the summons.
When he entered the old gentleman's sanc-
tum he was invited to sit duwn and make
himself quite comfortable. After rum-
maging through some papers which were
on his desk uncle dear took from them a
piece of yellow paper; turning around he
looked his nephew straight in the eyes and
said:
"My boy, this telegram was received by
the head of your department Saturday
afternoon; it reads: 'Do you need me? If
not. I shall stay,' and Is signed with your
name. Did you send it?'
"Yes, uncle," came the answer, meekly,
"You did! Then let me tell you. sir," and
the atmosphere became suddenly chilled,
"that I have been here for over forty years
and they don't need me."
The telegram was laid down and the head
of the establishment picked up a pen and
began writing. Nephew knew that the In-
terview was over. Just as he was going
through the door he heard his uncle mutter:
"Do they need me?"

Self-praise Is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself. When
what he says Is supported by the testi-
mony. of others no reasonable man will
doubt his word. Now, to say that All-
cock's Porous Plasters are the only gen.
uine and reliable porous plasters made is
not self-praise in the slightest degree. They
have stood the test for over thirty years,
and In proof of their merit It is only nec-
essary to call attention to the cures they
havo effected and to the voluntary testi-
monials of those who have used them.
Beware of Imitations, and do not be de.

THE CAMPERDOWN KAN AGBOUND IN
LEAVING MALTA.
It Is the One That Bank the Viotoria and
Sent Vioe Admiral Tryon to
His Death.
London, Sept. 25.—Another sensation has
been caused in naval circles. A dispatch to
Lloyds from Malta says that the British,
battleship Camperdown ran aground there
to-day while leaving port for England,
where she was to undergo a thorough over-
hauling. The Camperdown will be remem-
bered as the monster ironclad which oft
Tripoli, Syria, ran Into and sank the Brit-
ish Mediterranean squadron's flagship, the
Victoria, causing the loss of hundreds o£
lives, Including that of Vice Admiral Sir
George Tyron, the admiral In command of
the Urltish Mediterranean squadron.
When Lloyds' dispatch wan sent the
Camperdown was still aground. At the ad-
miralty hers It was said that the spot upon
which the Camperdown had grounded was
not a dangerous one and that it was ex-
pected that she would be easily floated. A
later dispatch to Lloyds says that two
powerful government tugs are trying to
pull the Camperdown afloat.
The accident was due to the breaking
down of the steam steering gear. The
Camperdown is a steel barbette ship, hav-
ing eighteen inches of steel faced armor
tind carrying four 66-ton guns, six 5-ton
guns and many smaller rapid fire guns.
The unlucky war vessel Is of 10,000 tons
displacement, with 1500 indicated horse
power, and has an estimated speed of
seventeen knots an hour. She was built In
1885.
A special dispatch to the Times from
Malta says that the Camperdown when she
ran aground was going on a trial trip after
leaving her dock, where she has been under
repair as a result of her collision with the
unfortunate Victoria. The Camperdown
had not gone far from the dock when her
helm became Jammed, adds the Times' dis-
patch, and she ran bow on to a rocky bot-
tom in twenty-five feet of water. The
Camperdown as this dispatch was sent was
hard and fast on the rocks, but she was
not leaking and every effort was being
made to float her. The state of the tide, ot
which there is not a very Important rise
and fall, was not stated in the dispatch,
and It was a possible fall of the tide with
the big warship working her bottom on the
rocks which caused the most apprehension.
Later—At 3 p. m. the Camperdown floated.

—Touted states- opportunity.
Courier-Journal.
Consul Mason, at Frankfort, thinks that
the tariff war between Germany and Rus-
sia offers a great opportunity for t.lia
United States. The retaliatory rates adopt-
ed by the two countries have virtually put
an end to trade between them. The supply
of petroleum and petroleum products which
Germany has heretofore obtained from
Russia must hereafter be drawn from the
United States. In 1892 Germany bought of
Russia rye to the value of over }21,000,000.
The cutting off of that source of supply
ought to create a demand for all the rye
the United States have to spare for the
coming fall and winter, Germany was our
largest customer for rye In the fiscal year
1892, when she took from us nearly 4,000,000
bushels, worth $3,750,000. Our entire exports
of rye in that year were 12,000,000 bushels i
of the value of $11,500,000.
