COLLIER AND HIS CHICAGO ADDRESS. The Coming Centennial — A Cashier Skipped With Funds—Boodle Evidence For Sale—The Ute War— A Razor’s Bloody Work. The Queen and Mr. Collier. London, Augast 23.—Mr. Frank H. Collier, of Chicago, was the recipient of a private audience with the queen at the Osborne house yesterday afternoon and presented to her majesty the jubilee address of the residents of Chicago of British birth or parentage. In presenting the address Mr. Collier said: “Yourmajesty, in behalf of 50,000 people of the city of Chicago of British birth or parentage, it gives me great pleasure to present to you this congratulatory jubilee address. Though separated far from our motherland, our hearts still beat warmly with love and veneration for England’s queen.” The queen replied: “I thank you and the people you represent for the address, and thank you personally for your own kind words. My answer to this address you will find in this paper.” The queen then handed Mr. Collier her formal reply to the address, which is as follows: “I thank you for the address you have presented to us. Coming as it does from persons cf English birth beyond the seas who retain feelings of love.tor their mother country and sympathy with her, I receive it with peculiar satisfaction. That the people of Chicago should have given expression to these kind sentiments not only toward the AngloSaxon race of these realms but also toward myself is to me a source of much gratification and sustains me in the belief that the friendship and good will which now exists between the countries, and which 1 have always endeavored to promote, are of a real and enduring character.” Mr. Collier was driven from Osborne House to Cowes in one of the royal carriages and returned to London later in the evening. He was asked by a reporter last night whether he kissed the .queen’s hand, and replied,: “No, I did not, for the reason that it would have been improper, as 1 am not a British subject, but am proud to be an American citizen. I consider the fact that the queen granted a private audience for the purpose of presenting theaddress,a complimentnot only to the British residents of Chicago, but to the citizens of the town generally.” Boodle Evidence for Sale. Chicago, August 23.—Some very damaging evidence against boodle aldermen is said to be in the possession of a piratical employe of Sectional Underground Electric Light Company, who stole all the books of the company, and row holds them for a ransom. The books disappeared from the office of the company last week, and it was shortly given out that they would be returned for a fair price from parties against whom they contained incriminating evidence. This evidence is said to consist chiefly of the stubbooks of the stock of the company, which was issued to the boodlers. The stock was issued in blank, but for the convenience of reference the stubs were filled in in pencil, with the actual names of aldermen to whom the stock was issued, and the stubs also show the way it was prorated. After this bank stock had been in exis tence long enough for the ordinance to pass the city council the boodlers were all informed that they could unload their stock by applying to a certain agent of the company on Dearborn street. The stock was accordingly sent around by ^personal factotums of the boodlers and cas^i *aken in lieu of it. The original stubbooks, together with all other books of the company, were preserved, however, and are now marketable commodities. The Coming Centennial. Washington, August 23.—Philadelphians are making elaborate preparations to entertain the president, Mrs. Cleveland and the members of the cabinet during the centennial anniversary of the framing and promulgation of the constitution on the 15th, 16th and 17th days of next month. It seems to be generally understood that the president expects to be present on that occasion, although nothing definite can be ascertained upon the subject, while the president remains at Oakview and Coi. Lamont is absent. It is also rumored that the presidential party will be entertained at Spring Sharon, Lake Beach, September 14. Spring Lake is the fashionable resort patronized principally by the wealthy Philadelphians. A private letter received today states that the pretty little village of Spring Lake is turning itself almost upside down in anticipation of the pleasure of entertaining the president and his wife if only for a single day. It is now definitely settied that President Cleveland and most of his cabinet will go to Philadelphia on the 17th of next month to attend the Centennial Constitutional celebration there. Mrs. Cleveland will probably accompany the president. The Ute Uprising. Denver, August 23.— A courier from Glenwood Springs brings the latest news from Meeker, in which it is stated that Sheriff Kendall had gone out, accompanied by seventyfive well armed and ^equipped frontiersmen, for the purpose of locating and flogging the Indians who are supposed to be camped about twentyfive miles from Meeker. The number of Indians is estimated at from 125 to 200. They are said to be in the high timber land, in an almost impregnable position, where they will be able to stand off quite an army. Another courier just arrived at Gleenwood Springs brings a message from Gen. Reardon, who is in command of troops at Meeker. Gen. Reardon’s message is dated at Morgan’s ranche on the divide, about 30 miles out from Meeker, and shows that he has made half ol the journey in safety. His scouts report that about nine miles distant from Morgan’s ranche they struck a fresh Ute trail, which showed that the Indians had crossed ahead of them on the road. Reardon* will hold his command at this ranche until he hears from Kendall, as he thinks that if he has had an engagement with the Indians he will drive them towards Morgan’s ranch. Adjutant General West has left Glenwood Springs tor Meeker and Col. Brooks is now commanding at that place. The people of Meeker feel confident that the Ute war will surely take place. A Phosphate ool. Columbia, August 23 —The enormous phosphate industry of South Carolina is now in a stagnant and crippled condition. The annual product of the mines in this state are over half a million tons. A few years ago this rock brought from $7 to $9. Companies bought up phosphate lands at large prices and made enormous outlays. The prices have gradually declined for years, and now the surplus is above the demand, and crude rock only brings $3.60. As a royalty ot $ 1 has to be paid the state for all river rock, this price does not pay experses, but the phosphate companies have to hold on because of the enormous outlay. For months most of the companies have been attempting to form a combination to raise the price and regulate the market’ All but one company in the phosphate business have joined, and great pressure is being brought to bear upon this company, and it will probably give in this week. The price of rock will probably b 2 raised $3 a ton. A Bloody Row. Savannah, August 23.—A church supper was given by negroes three miles from this city last night. Trouble ensued, during which Tiny Charlton was felled to the ground senseless with a club by Tom Green. When he regained consciousness and started home Berry Cook ran the blade of a penknife up to the hilt in his throat. Charlton leaned his head on his wife’s shoulder and again attempted to get away from the infuriated men who were clamoring for his life, but had taken but a few steps when Wm. Taylor rushed up with a razor, handed him by'Jil Cooke, and almost decapitated him by drawing the blade across his throat. Blood spurted all over his horrified wife, and in ten minutes Charlton was a corpse. Tom Green is under arrest, but the other three men implicated in the crime, are still at large. Skipped With the Cash. Charleston, S. C., August23—Great excitement was created in Sumter yesterday morning when the sign “closed” was found posted on the door of the Sumter National bank. On investigation it was found that Cashier Chas. E. Bartlett had absconded with all the funds of the bank, amounting to $5,500, and that his books were short to the am unt of $20,000. Bartlett is believed to have gone to Mexico. The feature of the defalcation which is creating the most,, talk is the fact that the bank officers knew of the condition of his books weeks ago. Bartlett’s downfall was caused by heavy speculation in cotton futures. The directors will make the loss good and the bank will resume. A Tropical Cyclone. Washington, August 23.—The cyclone previously reported off the east Florida coast is more clearly defined this morning, the barometer near the centre reading 20.54. It is apparently moving northward slowly and will cause dangerous gales off the Atlantic coast. It is not safe for vessels to sail for southern ports. Pickles, jellies and jams, all sizes in glass, at Marshall & Heard’s. Pure imported olive oil and o es,at Marshall & Heard’s. An extra large assortment of cigars and tobacco, at Marshall & Heard’s.
