Managers for H. B. Claflin & Co. MILLIONS IN IT. A PANIC IN PROFITS ON THE TOBACCO SUPPLY. Powder Mill Explosion—The Ohio Election Frauds—Two Dynamiters Sentenced— Sued for Libel—A Singular Accident. The Ohio Election Frauds. COLUMBUS, O., February 3.—Algernon Granville, of Chicago, one of the defendants and a witness for the state in the tally sheet forgery case, was placed on the stand this morning. In October, 1885, he testified that he had a desk in the office of Montgomery, ,a defendant, and did shorthand work for him. He blade a tabulation of the returns tor Montgomery on Wednesday or Thursday following the election and made a mistake of 100 votes in one of the townships, which Montgomery discovered and thus assertained his defeat. Defendant said they must do something in a short time. Allen Meyers ran into the office and said that John A. McLean was bound to be elected United States senator, no difference what it cost, that the legislature was republican by one majority, and if they could secure the election of Ed Young, from Franklin county, the legislature would be one democratic, and that it would elect McLean; that the only’way to do was to fix the returns;that they had done the work before the election in Hamilton county, but it could be done afterward here; that he wanted to give the republicans a dose of their own medicine for the, performance of 1876 in the south, and asked him (witness) to go ahead with the work, as he was an expert penman. Witness said that about this time Montgomery, the defendant, came in the office and said the fvork had to be done and sent witness to Dr. Montgomery’s office with instructions to wait. Meyers and Montgomery had a private consuitation in one corner of the room. Witness later met defendant at the office of Dr. Montgomery. He came in the back way and had a bundle ot tally sheets, there being seven or eight of them in envelopes. At this point the attorneys for defendant objected to the character of the evidence and entered upon a long argument. A Panic in Tobacco. Chatanooga, February 3.—Heavy buyers of tobacco report great excitement in Kentucky, wheffe every available foot of land is being engaged and people are paying as high as ninety dollars per acre rent for good fields. A representative of a, New York tobacco firm says: “Spain has recently bought 4000 hogsheads of lugs in New York, which leaves about 18,000 hogsheads for the wants of 1888. New York warehouses are about empty and the purchases made at Clarksville this week were for immediate shipments.” Louisville operators are making every effort to get all the dark low grades in a few nands. Powder Mill Explosion. Cleveland, February 3.—The blasting powder mill of the Austin Powder Plant, in Newburgh township near this city, was blown to pieces about 7 o’clock this morning. The mill was used tor granulating pressed cakes of powder, and the machinery had just been started by Reuben Wright, when the explosion occurred. Wiight was instantly killed. A large hole in the ground now makes the former site of the mill, but of the building and can tents not a vestige remains. The mill was isolated from the remainder of the plant. This accounts for the small loss of life. The company’s loss is estimated at $50,000. About 600 pounds of powder was in the mill at the time and its explosion produced a report that was heard for miles. Sued for Libel. Memphis, February 3.—F. M. Burrell, proprietor of the Mississippi Valley Farmer, a monthly journal published in this city, instituted suit in the circuit court today against the Memphis Avalanche for $25,000 damage,s. The suit grew out of a publication made in the Avalanche this morning denouncing as a fraud the scheme of the Farmer to distribute 7279 presents, ranging in value $500 to $800 each, whenever its circulation reached 100,000 copies. The prizes to be awarded embraces articles of jewelry, grand square pianos and United States bonds. Many farmers wrote to the Avalanche, asking as to the reliability of the scheme, and it was the Avalar.che’s reply which brought on the damage suit. The lacts have been placed in the hands of the United States district attorney by the Avalanche. The Crown Prince. San Remo, Febtuary 3.—Owing to the cold weather here the crown prince’s physicians are discussing the advisability of removing the prince to a warmer climate. The physicians are unanimously of the opinion that an operation will not be necessary. Dr. Mackenzie has removed several detached pieces of cartilage from the prince's throat. The Berlin Zeitung publishes an account of an interview had with Dr. Mackenzie regarding the condition of the crown prince. The doctor said that the recovery of his patient would be necessarily slow and that it was unlikely that the prince would return to Germany until May, a warm climate being the main requisite in the treatment. He further said that the presence of perichondritis did not preclude the possibility of the prince’s malady being of a cancerous character. Singular Accident. Helena, Ark., February 3. — This morning Charles Henderson received probably fatal wounds under peculiar circumstances. Henderson, with a number of other men, were trying to raise an 1800 pound iron safe into an office on a second floor. It was being pulled up by means of ropes and pulleys. When almost at the head of the stairs the hook in tlie pulley straightened and the rope slipped off. The safe accordingly came crashing down the stairs, and Henderson, while attempting to escape, stumbled and fell. The safe overtook him and fell upon him, covering him from his head almost to his feet. Fortunately for Henderson he fell in thick mud, otherwise his life would have been crushed out of him instantly. As it was, however, he was half buried in the mire. His injuries are internal and will prove fatal. Dynamiters Sentenced. London, February. 3.—The trial of Thomas Callan and Michael Harkins, the Americans charged with being connected with a dynamite conspiracy, was brought to a close today. They were found gui'ty, and both sentenced to fifteen years penal servitude. A Bankrupt Manager. LONDON, February 3.—Col. Mapleson, the.opera manager, has been declared bankrupt. Notice.
