Acting Secretary Sims, of the inte
rior department Friday received a
copy of the court records in the trial
of the nine Choctaw Indians recently
convicted of murder by the national
court. Acting Secretary Sims will ex
amine the records in the case, but it
is not likely that any action will be
taken just now.
Secretary Gresham received a cable
message Monday from Minister Baker,
dated July 13th, as follows: “The
Nicaraguan president and minister of
foreign affairs are still in prison at
Leon. A meeting of the cabinet pro

Chemulpo, Corea.
The latest news of the Siamese-French
trouble received at the state depart
ment Monday from Mr. Boyd, United
States consul*at Bankolt, was as fol
lows: “Everything quiet. Con
cessions Siamese. Amicable settle
ment probable.” “Concessions Sia

French had made concessions to Sia
mese.
Telegraph orders will be sent to
Commissioner Whiting, commanding
the Alliance at Callao, Peru, to pro
ceed at once with that vessel to Cor
rinto, the port nearest to Leon, where
the latest revolution is at its height.

will take at leant a week to make the
trip.
Secretary Herbert, accompanied by
Miss Herbert and hi* naval aide, En
sign Wood, left Washington Monday
on the President’s vatoh, Dolphin, for

make a visit to Mnehias. Me., to en
able the secretary to be present at the
presentation by the citizens of that
place of a silver service to the stanch
little boat in his honor. Tho party
will be absent about throe weeks.
It was learned at the pension officv
Friday that 2,560 pensioners have been
suspended up to date under the ruling
requiring beneficiaries of the act of
June, 1890, to prove total disability
whore they are drawing pensions of
sl2 per month. These are not con
fined to any particular locality, but
are distributed throughout the coun
try. No pensioner has yet been dropped
under the decision of the treasury, as
the sixty days allowed to make show
ings of total disability have not yet
elajjsed.
Secretary Morton’s investigation
into the seed distributing division of
the agricultural bureau lias resulted in
an order requiring the seeds of the
United States department of agricult
ure to be purchased this year only
under a guarantee on the part of the
seller, not only that the seed will ger
minate, but that they will be found
true to the name. Every purchase will
be tested ou the experimental grounds
of the department under Dr. Saunders,
the superintendent, so as to determine
by actual growth whether or not they
are just to name as guaranteed.
An Important Decision.
The treasury department through
Acting Secretary Hamlin, has made
an important decision in determining
to enforce the provisions of section 7
of the customs administrative act ol
June 10, 1890, which provides that if
the appraised value of goods should
exceed the value declared in the entry
more than 40 per cent, the entry may
be held to be presumptively fraudu
lent and the collector may seize the
merchandise. The section has been
practically a dead letter; goods seized
being released without payment ol
penalties. Acting Secretary Hamlin
decided to have the law inforced, and
he therefore, has sent a letter to the
collector of customs at New York de
nying a request for the release of cer
tain seized goods.
THE JURY’S VERDICT.
Placing the Blame for the Recent
World’s Fair Calamity.
A Chicago dispatch says: The cor
oner’s jury investigating the world’s
fair cold storage calamity reached a
verdict Tuesday evening. The jury
reached it* conclusion much more
quickly than the time they were out
would indicate, as there were sixteen
deaths and each represented a ease,
though the finding was made as to the
whole. The verdict is as follows:
“We, the jury, find that the deceased
came to his death from injuries and
burns received at a fire of the storage
building at the world’s fair grounds
Tuly 12 ; and we, the jury, find that
McDonald, John Skinner, D. H. Burn
ham and Edward Murphy be held to
the grand jury for criminal negligence
and there held until discharged by the
sours* of law,”
THE FIRST VICTIM.
Governor Tillman Sets in Motion the
Law’s Machinery.
Proceedings were begun against the
violators of the Evans dispensary law
in Charleston at a very early hour
Saturday morning, and a sensation
only exceeded by the earthquake of
’B6 and the hoisting of the secession
flag in ’6O, was created thereby.
The first victim of the law was a
very humble Italian citizen named
Vincent Chicco, who kept a posada in
Market street. It was shortly after 12
o’clock in the morning when six of the
governor’s constabulary appeared in
front of Chicco’s posada. They were
armed with a warrant for Chicco’s ar
rest issued by a trial justice and an
injunction issued by Circuit Judge Iz
lar, which latter gave them the power
to seize and confiscate everything on
the premises, which they proceeded to
do. Wagons were brought up and
loaded with Chicco’s goods. The con
stables then proceeded to search the
premises for contraband goods. The
goods were hurried off to the sheriff’s
office, but subsequently a part of them
were returned to the house of which
the constabulary still had possession.
In the meantime crowds of citizens
had gathered around the scene of hos
tilities. The air was filled with de
nunciations and threats of lynching
were heard on all sides. A lieutenant
and squad of policemen soon came up.
Gaillard, the chief of the constabulary,
ordered the lieutenant to clear the
mol>. The police were evidently in
sympathy with the crowd and the lieu
tenant replied very tartly that he knew
his business .and would conduct it in
his own way.
In the meantime, Chicco had been
taken to the trial justice’s office,
where he was followed by a dozen
prominent business men who offered
bail at any amount. A preliminary
hearing was entered upon and Chicco
was bailed. His goods are still in the
possession of the sheriff and his prem
ises in the custody of the constabu
lary.
The excitement and indignation in
Charleston is intense and pervades all
classes of the community. The scene
in the trial justice’s office during the
examination was dramatic. Angry men
rushed up to get a look at the constab
ulary, and left denouncing them and
breathing threats of vengeance. Dur
ing the examination one of the consta
bles lugged out his revolver and threat
ened to shoot the defendant who had
been cursing him. The officers inter
fered before the shooting could com
mence.
Many citizens are arming themselves
and avow openly that they will shoot
any constable or spy who attempts to
j enter their premises.
The state constabulary continued
their work Monday afternoon of ar
resting persons charged with violation
of the dispensary law. They gave
bonds for their appearance and were
released. The places of the arrested
persons were searched but nothing
contraband was found. While the
community is in favor of the enforce
ment of the law, there is deep indig
nation at the conduct of constables on
Saturday. Hoyne Pepper, the con
stable who tried to shoot Chicco was
bound over in the sum of SSOO for
trial at the county session for assault
and battery with intent to kill.
AFTER THE BLIND TIGERS.
Governor Tillman Makes a Move
Against Charleston Bar-Rooms.
Governor Tillman made a move Fri
day against the blind tigers ih Charles
ton. They have been running since
the dispensary law went into effect,
and while it is true that every house
in Charleston has a supply of stimu
lants stored away, enough to last six
months, the blind tigers, which sprang
into existence on July Ist, have been
doing a thriving business.
On Friday the attorney general ap
plied to a magistrate for several war
rants, but that official refused to issue
them, owing to a lack of some legal
technicality. The course of the pro
ceedings, if taken as now sketched
out, will probably precipitate a storm
and outcry far surpassing any which
has yet attended the inauguration of
the law.
The plan is said to be that simulta
neous with the arrest of the accused
on charges of violation of the dispen
sary law, and before trial and convic
tion his place of business is to be con
demned and abated as a nuisance, the
premises searched and the goods and
chattels confiscated to the state and
carried away.
This is the programme mapped out
by the dispensary law and this is the
programme that Governor Tillman
proposes to enforce in the metropolis
of the state. It is no secret that its
enforcement will be resisted by force
if necessary; in fact, it is no secret
that a good many of the suspects have
armed themselves and are prepared to
defend the sanctity of their premises
at the point of the pistol, and it is
equally certain that the popular sym
pathy is entirely on their side.
A BOYCOTT THREATENED.
Colorado Conservatives Will Appeal to
Pocket-Books in the SilTer Fight.
A special of Monday from Pueblo
states that the more conservative ele
ment of the people of Colorado realize
that the recent silver convention held
at Denver accomplished nothing to
ward the purpose for which it assem
bled. A proposition is on foot to call
another convention, which shall aim at
the pockets rather than the sympathies
of those whom it is hoped to convert
to the ideas of the west.
The proposed convention is to be
composed of business men, and the
direct object which is sought is a com
bination among the merchants with
the intention of diverting the trade of
Colorado and adjacent states from the
wholesale trade of the east to that of
the south.
It ib argued that New Orleans is
much nearer to the Rocky Mountain
states than either New York, Boston
■r Philadelphia; that it is a seaport
centrally located, from which can be
furnished every article needed by the
west upon terms equally advantageous
with those at present obtained. It is
believed that by diverting this volume
of trade from its accustomed channels
the eyes of the eastern opponents of
the silver bill will be opened and their
assistance may be enlisted

A Tacoma, Wash., dispatch says: S.
N. Dussenbarre, cashier of the sus
pended bank of Puyallup, was arrest
ed Sunday charged with embezzling
$41,000 of the bank’s funds. The ar
rest caused a big sensation, as Dussen
barre was a prominent man in business
and social circles of Tacoma.
Dispatches of Monday state that
the trouble between the French and
Siamese continue. A body of French
marines have captured the forts at
Donthane and Tap ham, on the upper
Mekong. The French loss in the as
sault was six killed and wounded.
The Siamese lost heavily in both en
gagements.
A fire in London Monday night de
stroyed thirty buildings, which were
occupied by more than twenty-five
firms, who dealt in stationery, cloth

goods, etc. The district burned is
over an area of five hundred yards
square. It is expected that the loss
will reach 1,500,000 pounds.
A Topeka, Kan., special of Sunday
says: It w r ill be diffiult to prevent
bloodshed in the southeast Kansas coal
mine strike. Strikers march from
shaft to shaft denouncing the mine
owners and miners who are at work in
the vilest language. Walters, leader
of the strikers, openly advises blood
shed, if necessary to gain his point.
The National bank of Kansas City,

A meeting of prominent silver men
in California was held at San Francisco
Friday night and resolutions adopted
favoring the restoration of silver to the

William Steinway, of New York,
has received from Emperor William,
of Germany, the insignia of the order
of the Red Eagle for the third class,
carrying with it the honor of knight
hood, the first order of the kind ever
sent to an American citizen, from the
fatherland. The honor was conferred
u recognition of Mr. Steinway’s be
nevolent energy, exercised not only in
America, but also in his native country.
A special from Chicago says: Hon.
H. I. Kimball, of Atlanta, was, on
Saturday, elected chairman of the
judges of wards organization. The
meeting was held in the north end of
the manufacturers’ building, and the
selection of Mr. Kimball was unani
mous. The honor is considered a great
one. He has issued a call for a meet
ing to be held at the same place Mon
day at which he will appoint the dif
ferent committees.
A San Jose, Cal., dispatch of Mon
day says: An important disvovery re
garding the comet has been made at
the Lick observatory. Photographic
plates reveal the fact that the heavenly
visitant is not alone in its glory, but
has a companion. The second comet
is enveloped in the tail of the first one,
and shows distinctly as a nebulous-like
condensation. Its tail also merges
into that of the other. It appears to
move in the orbit exactly parallel, and
at the same rate of speed.
Dr. Henry C. W. Meyer, the whole
sale poisoner for insurance money,
reached New York Monday afternoon
in charge of a detective. The detect
ive said nothing of interest passed be
tween himself and the prisoner on their
way from Detroit. Meyer was sullen
during the entir 3 trip. He would talk
about nothing but commonplace mat
ters, except on one occasion, when he
said he had never been in New York
and knew nothing about the death of
the man known as Gustav A. J. Baum
and Ludwig Brandt.
TWO CITIES DEMOLISHED.
A Cjclone’s Fearful Work In Italy.
Hundreds Killed.
A cable dispatch from Rome, Italy,
states that a tornado swept down sud
denly Tuesday on Voghera and Cas
teggio, in Piedmont. Hundreds of
buildings were wrecked. In one sec
tion of Voghera hardly a house was
left standing. Not a structure in
either town was left standing. Hun
dreds of persons were injured. The
number of dead is not known, as the
bodies are buried in the ruins. Only
seven bodies have been recovered.
"V oghera is a mountain city with some
10,000 inhabitants. Casteggio, which
is five miles from it, has some 4,000
inhabitants.

LIKE LUCRETIA BORGIA.
A Woman Who Made a Bnsiness of
Poisoning Her Husbands.
A New York dispatch of Thursday
says: Police Inspector McLaughlin
has returned from Detroit, Mich.,
after the arrest there of Dr. Henry T.
W. Meyer and his wife, who are want
ed in New York, as well as in other
large cities in the United States, for
poisoning people that they might get
the insurance money on their victims’
lives. The case shows that Meyer and
his wife are two of the blackest heart
ed criminals the police ever handled.
There are at least a dozen charges of
the same nature against them in the
other cities. The grand jury has found
indictments against the pair, and ex
tradition papers are being prepared.
The facts in connection with the
case here, and the reports from other
cities show that Lucretia Borgia has a
formidable rival in the person of Mrs.
Meyer. On March 30,1892, J. Baum,
of No. 326 East 113th street, died, af
ter a severe attack of intestinal trouble.
Dr. Minden, of Twelfth street, who
attended him, gave a certificate to his
grief-stricken wife, naming the cause
of death chronic dysentery. He was
buried in Brooklyn cemetery. Baum’s
life was insured in the Mutual Life
Insurance Company for $2,000 in favor
of his wife, and, after the usual form
ula, the amount was paid.
Dr. Gillette, of the insurance com
pany, for some reason, suspected there
was something wrong, and communi
cated his fears to Coroner Schultz.
Baum’s body was quietly re-exhumed
and Deputy Coroner Walsh, assisted
by Professor Doremus, made an au
topsy. The stomach was found to con
tain antimony in large quantities, which
drug had produced the intestinal trou
bles. Coroner Schultz then laid the
facts before Inspector McLanghlin,
and detectives were placed on the
case. After a long search, the detec
tives found that Mrs. Baum was, in
reality, the wife of Dr. Henry Meyer,
who was also known under the alias of
Henry Reuter and Hugo Mailer. The
woman, the detectives said, made a
business of getting married, persuad
ing her husband to insure his life, and
then accomplish his death by poison.
THE OUTLOOK BRIGHTER.
Each Day Finds the Financial Situation
on the Mend.
A New York special says: Notwith
standing the flurry in the stock mar
ket Wednesday, bank presidents and
others occupying positions familiariz
ing themselves with current conditions
unanimously agreed that the general
situation has improved and continues
to do so. There is nothing in
the financial situation of the coun
try to produce such an unsettling
effect. At several of the banks it
was said that considerable amounts
of currency had been received Tues
day and again Wednesday morning.
One large Broadway bank received
$500,000 in gold and currency from
the country. Some of the gold was
received back from California. The
Fourth National bank received $341,-
000 in currency with a lot more in
sight. As an indication of the easier
condition prevailing, it was reported
that many country banks were remit
ting currency to New York and get
ting back some of their bills receiva
ble which they had rediscounted three
or four weeks ago, taking advantage,
of course, of the rebate in the dis
count for the unexpired time.
The Portner Brewing Company has
a beer barrel on its shoulders and has
dared Governor Tillman to knock it
off. A keg of the stuff arrived at
Charleston Wednesday from Charlotte,
consigned to the agent of the compa
ny in Charleston. The sliipment was
made purely for the purpose of testing
the right of the state to prohibit the
roads from carrying liquor to parties
in South Carolina from points in an
adjoining state.
TRADE REVIEW.
Report of Business for the Past Week
by Dun & Cos.
R. G. Dun & Cos. ’s weekly review of
trade says: There is a somewhat bet
ter tone in business because the money
markets are a little less stringent. But
it cannot be said as yet that there is
any distinct improvement. In every
direction usual conservatism prevails,
orders are small, the volume of busi
ness is restricted and a waiting policy
rules.
Improvement is expected from the
resumption of business in the iron and
silver regions and the building trade
shows signs of revival with material 20
per cent cheaper than last year. East
bound shipments are slightly smaller
than last year, real estate dealings 75
per cent less and receipts of most
products smaller.
Louisville reports easier money
and business fair in volume. At Nash
ville business is quite fair and Mont
gomery improving. At Little Rock
business is more hopeful with good
crop prospects and at Columbus trade
is fair with collections unimproved and
at Atlanta satisfactory in volume, but
collections are very slow. Trade is
dull at Augusta, though crop prospects
are good, and at Mobile crop prospects
are fair and trade satisfactory. At
New Orleans little improvement is
seen and money very tight, but a bet
ter feeling prevails, for crop prospects
are bright.
The rai lures during the past week
hawe not diminished in number, being
374 in the United States against 168
last year for the same week.
FATAL FIREWORKS.
A Sunday Picnic by Italians Ends Dis

By the premature explosion of a
fireworks bomb late Sunday night,
at an Italian picnic in Chicago, several
people were killed and a number of
others injured. The bomb was fired
from an extemporized mortar and was
intended to be exploded high in the
air, the explosion to be accompanied
by a 6hower of brilliant file. Just as
the charge was about to be fired, there
was a deafening roar and the liquid
fire and burning explosives, together
with the pieces of the mortar contain
ing the bomb, were hurled in every
direction. Hundreds of persons were
standing about the spot and the dash
end report were followed by the cries
