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.
