Take Passenger Elevator to Second Floor. SANGER - BROTHERS. His Wife Had Disappeared. Marshall, Mo., April 12.—Mrs. L. N. Hunt, a lady who recently mov-ed to this city with her husbnnd, from Bethany, 111., mysteriously disappear-ed from her home in this city Monday morning, leaving no elue to her where-abouts. Hunt returned to his home last night after a four days’ absence in the country, where he was canvas-sing for a polishing house, to find his wife gone and his home silent and de-serted. Mrs. Hunt is a prepossessing brunette, about 22 years old, 5 feet 4 inches high, and was last seen Monday about dark, going up town. She wore a strawberry-colored dress, black fur cape and black hat. The husband is utterly at a loss to aocount for the disappearance, and fears foul play. He says there had been no domestic trouble in the family, and he can not conceive of his wife leaving home vol-untarily in her right mind without leaving some message for him. Pliclpsou the Italian Question. New Haven, Conn., April 13.— Hon. Edward I. Phelps who was min-ister to England during Cleveland’s administration and who is professor of international law in Yale University, says: “I do not care to express any opinion about the diplomatic way of our government- I think the Italian course has shown undue precipitation. The killing of those men in New Orleans was justified in view of it, by the circumstances leading up to it. The ordinary machinery of justice rarely miscarries and when it fails to do its work the risrht still rests with the people to see that justice is car-ried out. I think the effect on the whole may be a good one. It may serve as a rebuke to inefficient courts ,and juries. iA. Double Tragedy. rt. Ark., April I2.—News dy affair near the junction of d Current rivers has just here, in which eight men in-n a free-for-all fight, and in wo were killed and two more portals of t;he grave. The fight took place in a stave camp be-longing to the Oxley Stave company. A jug of whiskey was the bone of contention. Steve Ross, the foreman, and a man named Anderson had some words about the division of the whisky. Anderson pulled a long knife and made a lunge at Ross, cut-ting him in the left side, arm and right shoulder. Ross seized his gun, but before he could use it Anderson had buried his knife several times in the bodies of four other men, one of these being R. J. Moore, who was stabbed through the heart and died instantly. Finally Ross succeeded in getting his gun to work, and sent a ball into Anderson’s body which pass-ed through his heart and out of his left side. He made an effort to reach Ross with his knife, but fell dead in the attempt. Anderson, who, it is said, came from Kentucky, had the reputation of being a desporado. It is thought that he was wanted in that State for a couple of murders. A Bold Bobbery. Louisville, Ky., April 12.—A re-markably bold robbery took place at the Short Line depot last midnight. A canvass bag containing $1,000 was taken from an Adams’ Express wagon while it was backed up against the ex-press car of a south-bound train. The bag containing the silver was in the center of the wagon and was surround-ed by express packages of all kinds. Shortly after reaching the trail Driv-er Jasper covered the monev with a tarpaulin and entered the oar to ob- ‘ain proper receipts from the express agent. As soon as the book was signed the driver returned to the wag on and discovered that the tarpaulin had been removed and that the money was missing. No trace of the money or thief could be discovered. The robber was evidently a man acquaint-ed with the details of the express-man’s and driver’s duties and had doubtless lain in wait near the wagon until the driver went to the car. The bag contained silver dollars and was heavy and unweildy. The money was consigned to the Louisiana State Lottery at New Orleans. THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE. THE FIGURE IT IS GOING TO CUT IN THE NEXT Presidential Campuigii-.Tliat Order and Others to Submit a Set of Demands to Each of tfie Two Great Politi-cal Parties. Dallas, April 13.—Dr. Macune, editor of the National Economist at v/ashington, who is stopping at the Windsor, was called on Saturday night by a reporter to ascertain his views on coming events. The doctor said: “I do not know that I have anything to say about my trip to Texas. I brought my family down on a visit to friends in Bell county, and I shall at-tend the meeting on the 21st, 22d, 23d and 24th of the State Alliance Association at Waco. That meeting is to protect organization and system-atize work throughout the state. Among others to be there will be General Stackhouse, of South Car-olina, congressman-elect and president of the Alliance of that state; Worall, of South Dakota, and Livingston,*’con-gressman- elect and president of the Georgia Alliance. “What steps; if any, are being taken for the great meeting in I892?” ‘‘The Alliance all over the country are preparing for it novf| The de-mands of all the different orgauiza-ttons, such as the Knights of Labor, Mutual Benefit associations, etc., have been sent to the alliances ‘for discus-sion and are being discussed.” “How is the problem of the social and industrial fermentation that has been going on of recent years to be solved?” “By intelligence and conservatism. You must have noticed that our effort is purely educational.” “What will be the result of your educational efforts and your conserva tism?” “I believe it will be a return as much as possible to the original prin-ciples instituted by the founders of this government, and that the profes sional politician will lose his power to direct matters as he has been doing in recent years. “How does the alliance stand in re-gard to pure food legislation?” “I think the subject is one of state and not national regulation.” “What figure will the alliance cut in the next presidential campaign?” “The alliance, with all other organ-izations willing to participate with it, will meet in February, 1892, at some point not yet designated, for the pur-pose of agreeing upon a uniform set of demands to be proposed to each po-litical party.” “If neither of the two great politi-cal parties should consent to formulate into a platform the wants of the alii-ance thus agreed upon, will the alii-ance stand upon its own platform?” “I do not know.” “Is it not logically deducible that it will do so?” “It would seem so.” “Will the new order of things be adjusted to socialism t” ‘M do not think that the tendencies to socialism are as well marked now as they were two years ago. I am fight-ing socialism. A great many who have studied the principles of our movement think that the solution can be reached without socialism.” “What does the solution lie in?” “In the absolute control by the gov-ernment of monopolies, thus remov-ing the impact, from which socialism is the recoil, and in the establishment of a financial system which will give a volume of currency that will always bear the same relation to the demand in the different seasons of the year. As long as the demand fluctuates, up and down, and the volume of the cur-rency is a fixed quantity there will be a great fluctuation in prices:” “Would that system of currency do away with national banks?” “Not necessarily. There is no ob-jection to the national banks of issue if they give the government control of the issue.” “There seems to be a good deal of party independence about the alii-ance?” “You would be surprised to know how many are ready to drop their fealty to any party. I think the majority of the voters of the United States will occupy that ground by the next presidential election. STUBBORN MISS PHCEBE. “When She Won’t She Won’t, and There’s an End On’t.” Chicago, 111., April 12.—Miss Phoebe Cousins, secretary of the board of JLady [managers, holds the fort at headquarters at the World’s Columbia Commission. She deolared herself more than ever determined in her stand to assert her rights as secretary of the executive committee. She says she has received telegrams from mary of the lady members of the com-mission taking sides with her. She wishes it expressly stipulated in the public print that this unfortunate dif-ference between herself and Mrs. Pal-mer is merely of principle, and not personal, in any sense. She loves and thinks lots of the lady president of the board. From other sources it is 1 learned that for a long time differences haye existed between the President and the Secretary. The lady Secretary, it is said, had on several occasions refused to sign communications unless the pronoun “we” was used, referring, of course, to the President and herself. Mrs. Palmer, it is reported, has also stated to friends, talking of Miss Couzins: “I can not quarrel with her, and can only close the door in her face.” This trouble is viewed rather ser-iously by certain World’s Fair offi-cials. Should Miss Cousins make a legal fight through Ben Butler, whom she claims to have retained, it will seriously injure the influence for good of the board. Or should, as Miss Couzins also claims, the courts decide the Executive Committee and its powers to be illegal, thus nullifying its previous actions, the worry may be so great as to cause the resignation of many of the officials, and practically disband the board, thus holding up women to the ridicule of those oppos-ed to women suffrage. This is the first time that women were invested with such extraordinary powers, and the outcome, it is thought, may bear much upon the future of the advo-cates of women suffrage. A Prisoner’s Bold Escape. Lebanon, Mo., April 12.—A pris-oner named Skaggs, who was one of a number of convicted persons being taken through this city to the United States prison at Columbus, Ohio, made his escape in this city by jump-ing from a window of the cannon ball train, and has so far succeeded in eluding capture. By some means he managed to get the boot off the foot by which he was shackled, and then got the shackle off the foot. Then putting on his boot, he raised the window and out he went. His escape from death is due to the fact that the train had not got fairly in motion. Fourteen Poisoned* Chattanooga, Tenn., April 13.— An epidemic of poisoning cases oc-curred in this city yesterday, fourteen viotims having so far been reported, although none have proved fatal. The cause was found to be in cream puffs bought from a confectionery. The medium is thought to be arsenic, which, in some unexplained way, be-came mixed with the ingredients of the shells of the puffs. So far nothing positive is known, but an investiga-tion is being made. Into a Lanilslide. Pittsburg, Pa., April 13.—The west-bound passenger train, which leaves for Cleveland at noon, ran into a landslide at St. Van Port, Pa., thirty-five miles west of here shortly after 1 o’clock, derailing the locomo tive, baggage and mail cars. The car is said to have gone over the em-bankment, Details of the accident have not yet been received, but it is reported that four trainmen and a number of passengers were injured. The engineer and fireman were badly scalded, and will probably die. Others are seriously hurt. Fishing tackle of every description with a large stock of hunters supplies at H. E. Ambolds. THE PLUMED KNIGHT IS IN IT HE HAS AGREED TO ACCEPT THE NOMINATION. Iff Hid Friends Want to Give It to Him—A Double Tragedy 111 Ar-kaniai. Blaine Will Run. Dallas, April 13.—A special to the News from Washington says : There is a great deal of talk here of the announcement that Mr. Blaine has agreed to not interefere with his friends if they boom him for the pres-idential nomination. The story goes, and it is authorita-tive, as much as anything can be that creeps through the crevices in the private offices in the departments, that a delegation of Blaine’s friends called on him and asked him if ha would be-come a candidate for the nomination, and assuring him that he could receive the honor by a unanimous vote. - Mr. Blajnej'eplied that *be could un-der no circumstances become a candi-date against Mr. Harrison. The re-ply was made to this that Blaine’s friends did not want him to be a can-didate against any one, but that they wanted him as a candidate on his own merits and without any other person’s ambitions being considered. The secretary then modified his op-position to the proposition, and finally agreed if his friends should work for him at no time would he interfere. “I will occupy a passiye position in the matter,” he said, and his friends went away perfectly delighted. It is said that Blaine is getting irri-tated over Harrison’s jealousy of him. He deprecates the conduct of the newspapers in trying to open a chasm between him and the president but re-alizes that of late Harrison’s suspicions that Blaine is growing in republican estimation have made him so extreme-ly jealous that the secretary’s life is not altogether pleasant. For instance, it is well known that Blaine had about consummated the reciprocity treaty with Canada when Harrison looked over the secretary’s shoulder and see-ing what was going on insisted that the consideration of the question be postponed, and it had to be done. Blaine expected to make a great deal out of this. His friends say that he is preserving his temper and schooling himself in endurance as he has never done before, but that he is remember-ing all the little annoyances which he is now subjected to by the president’s ambition fora second term. Birmingham 111 it. Birmingham, Ala.., April 13.—At Bessemer, William Douglass, white, a furnace foundryman, was attacked by Leroy Smith, colored, with a bar of iron. Douglass shot and killed Smith. He was then assaulted by four of Smith’s friends, but drawing two pis-tols repulsed the mob. The committee of fifty citizens re-cently appointed by Mayor Lane, to receive and entertain the president on his visit here Thursday, met to-day and arranged to go out to meet the party and for a public reception. The Coke Regions* Pittsburg, Pa., April 13.—General Wiley is by no means confident that all the trouble in the coke regions is at an end. Bloodshed and violence he is quite sure will result if troops are withdrawn. Therefore he thinks the soldiers may expect a long siege in the mountains. General Wiley came down from Mount Pleasant yesterday and spent the day here. American Artists* Paris, April 13.—American artists of this city who for the most part patronize Julians academy have a great grievance. Only two works by Amer-icans are hung at the Salon. It is supposed that the slight is due to the distavor in which the old Salon man-agement hold Julian, who was the principal cause of the recent split. Burned tlie Poor House. Birmingham, Ala., April IS.—A crazy negro woman last night set fire to the Crenshaw county poor house, which burned to the ground. An old bed ridden man, named William John-son, was consumed within.
