A REVOLUTION.
THE BitAZ1LIAN GOVKl’.NMENT IN CONTROL
OF THE ARMY.
The following dispatch from Rio Ja
neiro was received at New Y'ork Friday.
“A revolution has broken out here. Bra
zilian armies in control. The ministry
has resigned. Minister shot. Attempt
to establish republic.” Other dispatches
from Rio Janeiro received at London
concerning the revolutionary outbreak
assert that a movement in favor of a re
publican form of government has re
cently been strongly fomented, and is
the sole cause of the uprising. Up to
the J present hour, however, there is little
information of tangible character. The
announcement is made in cipher cables
already at hand that the Brazilian minis
ters have tendered their resignations and
flic situation is controlled by the army.
A still later dispatch from Rio do Ja-
niero reports that a republic lias been
proclaimed with Betior da Funseca as
president. Imperial ministers have been
placed-under arrest and are kept in close
j confinement. Tho provisional govern-
! nient lias guaranteed protection to room-
! hers of the imperial family.
A CLEVER FORGERY.
. A DRAFT FOR FOUR DOLLARS RAISED TO
j ' FOUR THOUSAND.
j A remarkably clever swindle has just
! come to .ligh-t at Chattanooga, Tetm.
| Last July a well dressed stranger entered
' the First National bank in that city and
purchased one draft, for $4 and two for
$2 each, paying for tlie same. The bank
is now notified that the $4 draft has
turned up in New York as a $4,000 draft.
It seems that the swindler went from
there to Philadelphia, and purchased a
spda fountain for $1,100, paying for the
, same with the raised draft, and receiving
$2,900 in exchange. The work is so well
done that it can hardly be detected bv
an expert.
HE WAS REINSTATED.
Rev. L. Barrow, a theological student
in the U. S. Grant university at Chatta
nooga, Tenu., was editor of the Lookout,
the collcgo paper... Chancellor Spence
demanded that one-half space of tha pa
per be devoted to the other branch of the
university at Athens, which Barrow Crit
icised severely, and was suspended for
writing this editorial. The Lookout
then stopped publication. Chancellor
DeWitt, of the Chancery court, on Fri
day granted a mandamus compelling the
trustees of the University to reinstate
him.
