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.
