The New Tori Boy Burglars.
Glens Falls, N. Y,, Oc- 20.— Anoth¬
er of Ide’s companions in the Corinth
burglaries has divulged the oath. He
says the young men began work in April
when they met in a cave on the bank of
the river and elected Ide captain, Bert
Jones assistant captain and Wandall,
Randall and Reed a committee to seek
means of disposing of the stolen proper¬
ty. Tools were purchased for the manu¬
facture and pass-words, of false keys; masks signals, were made
street etc., con¬
cocted. What goods and miscellaneous
articles they stole were stored in a barn
owned by Charles Potter, who, they say,
had agreed to act as a fence. Dry goods
were first taken to the cave, where the
marks were removed, and the goods
were then taken to the barn. Nearly
every store in town has been entered and
goods stolen.
The following is the form of oath each
boy was placed required to take, with his right
hand on a human skull and the
left hand clasping a dagger:
“I do solemnly swear by my life's for¬
feit that I will never reveal the name of
any member of this Order; that I will do
all in my power to promote its best in¬
terests; that I will cheerfully assent to
all divisions of property or funds raised
by the sale of the same by our captain;
that I will be ready, day and night, to
enter upon our chosen business, and to
Order.” prevent discovery of any member of this
A GRUESOME CASE.
A Startling Theory That a Cannibal Dill
the Whitechapel Work.
New York, Oct. 20.—A mass of ab¬
surd theories, false clues and unlimited
arrests of wrong men, which have al¬
most turned the tragedies of Whitechap¬
el to a burlesque, have been relieved by
a builder, genuine sensation. Mr. George Lusk,
is at the head of the Whitechapel
vigilance night committee. Late on Tuesday
the parcel post delivery left a box
at his house. Upon opening it he dis¬
covered a meaty substance, which smelt
very strong, and which he judged to be
the half of a kidney belonging to some
animal. Inclosed in the box was the
following kidney letter: “I send you half of the
I took from one of the women. I
preserved fried and it for you. The other piece I
ate. It was very nice. I may
send you the bloody knife that took it
out, if you only wait a while longer.”
Mr. Lusk at first regarded the whole
thing as a joke, but remembering that
such an organ had been taken from the
Mitre square victim, he took the box to
the London hospital. Dr. Openshaw ex¬
amined the inclosure, and said it certain¬
ly came from a full longitudinally. grown woman, and

A Great Swindler Run Down.
Paris, October 20.—Another success¬

She wm too tfly to Lire.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 20.— Julia
Beck, of this city, good and looking, well-to-do, bright,
admired by many,
thought that she was too homely to live,
and committed suicide to-day by taking
three-quarters of a pound of chloroform.
She was twenty-seven years old, and
ever since she was seventeen she had
imagined herself so ugly as to cause in
comments whenever she appeared
public. She rejected several offers of
marriage on this account, telling disgrace her ad¬
mirers that she could not any
man.
Recently she had begun to try to im¬
prove her imagined ill looks in manv
ways, and about a week ago she had all
her teeth pulled out, though they were
sound and white and not very irregular,
in order to improve her mouth. Many
of her friends had tried to disabuse her
of the strange idea, but each effort in
that direction made her insanely angry.
In a letter she left for her mother she
said she was tired of her homely face,
and had lost all interest in her new teeth.

finer display of troops under arms than
any that has been seen in New York in
years took place when Gov. Hill review¬ i
ed the First and Second brigades of the ;
National Guards yesterday. |
It has been the annual practice of the j |
governors to review each of the four j
brigades of state militia separately, but ;
at the suggestion of Brig.-Gen. Louis
Fitzgerald, commanding the First brig¬ I |
ade, it was decided that this year the j
two brigades of New York and Brook¬ I
lyn should be united to make a more j
imposing demonstration. The number |
of troops that was in line is estimated at
7.500; 4,500 of the First brigade and 3,- ;
000 of the Second. There was a band of I
muBic for every regiment, and the par¬
ade was pleasing alike to eye and ear. j
The regiments formed on the streets
crossing Fifth avenue between o’clock Fifty-first
and fifty-ninth. At 3 the
column moved down Fifth avenue,
with Governor Hill and his staff mount¬
ed, and a detail of the Second battery
as escort at the in head. Gen. of Fitzgerald
and staff follow advance the first
brigade. Cappa's band, and the gray
uniforms of the seventh regiment, under
Col. Emmons Clark, came next. The
second brigade, composed command of of Brigadier Brooklyn
troops, was under
General James McLeer.
At Twenty-fourth street Governor Hill
and General Fitzgerald, with their staffs
and escorts, will turn aside and take a
position in front of the Worth Monu¬
ment, to review the line. There will be
no reviewing stand, and the entire party
will remain mounted while the column

The new armory will cost about $660,000.

The America's Cup.
Boston, Oct. 20. —It appears probable
that a challenge for the America’s cup
may come from a new quarter of the
globe. The Australians, not content with
the rowing championship, intend to
build a yacht to compete in the summer
af 1890 with the then holder of this cup.
Mr. Walter Reeks, naval architect of
Sydney, N. S. W.. has come to Boston to
begin his acquaintance with our yachts
and waters, and purposes to design and
build for a wealthy gentleman there his
ideal yacht for the challenge. Mr. Recks
comes under the auspices of Messrs.
Henry W. Peabody & Co. He first call¬
ed upon Mr. Burgess, who received him
with the utmost courtesy and frankness,
and enabled him to see the Volunteer
and other yachts of his designing. Mr.
Reeks will make but a short stay in
America. He will shortly visit New
York and other yachting centres.

Chicago, Oct. 20.—Chauncey M. De¬

corners on the board of trade. “Old
Hutch” expressed himself. Said he;
“Really, what difference does it make if
a loaf of bread does cost a cent more? A
man don’t eat more than a loaf of bread
a day, and flour is a very small part of
the average man's daily diet. I had
great respect for Mr. Depew’s doesn’t opinions.
He is a smart man, but he un¬
derstand the question. One man can no
more nut up the price of bread than a
tadpole can hatch a thousand eagles. I
suppose he wants the farmers to get 30
cents a bushel for grain, and he charge
35 cents a bushel to carry it to the sea¬
board. I don't want to say anything
about Mr. Depew, but when a farmer is
prosperous lie buys lots of goods, he
sends his folks a visiting, spend and they ride

Depew may know something about rais¬

about agriculture. Let him raise corn

cents, and go through a Dakota blizzard.

New York, Oct. 20. —[Special.]—Har¬
mony is beginning to show its colors in
a most remarkable local canvass, al¬
though perhaps somewhat tardily.
For the mayoralty contest there are
Hewitt, Grant, Erhardt auJ Geugaii. and
perhaps a half dozen parlor candi¬
dates, including the perennial Mrs. Leon-
ard, who blooms out as the choice of the
Belva Lockwoodists. Then the mug¬
wumps have indorsed Hewitt, and so
has the county democracy; while Tam¬
many has a ticket of her own, which
the popularity of the lalior candidate,
Coogan, is going to irfjure. Split up in
this mauner, the issue of the contest ap¬
pears to me obscure, and seemed to jioint
to the excellent chances of the republi¬
cans to secure the prize.
Last night the county democracy had

confidentially, that he New would rather sur¬

At the opening, I referred to harmony.
It is evident that if all six

since then Uncle Abe lias been making
an ass of himself in print, and Grant
has been developing ; additional additii strength
from visible quarters, while Coogan, who
has been following close upon Grant's
heels, will poll a big Tammany vote.
Thus we have three candidates of the
democracy and the shrewd republicans
but one.
But the harmony is there V
Yes, indeed, for Uncle Hewitt
says lie thinks everything of Messrs.
Erhardt and Coogan, and if elected
he will give them municipal ap¬
pointments; Hewitt and Mr. Hugh Grant
says Mr. is a “very nice
man,” and lie (Grant) isn't running be¬
cause he wants to, but for dear old
Tammany's sake; and the whole lot of
them combine in thinking everything of
pretty (ancient) Mrs. Cynthia Leonard,
the equal rights party candidate, who,
by tho Lillian way is the maternal parent of
Miss Russell, the actress. Isn't
that harmony? Yes, indeed, with a
vengeance; but its the kind of harmony
that makes Cal Brice tremble in his
boots, and redoubles the efforts of the
committee.
To-day there has been a tremendous
republican showed it off parade, but advantage, the daylight
to poor as the
citizens had to attend to business,
and wild enthusiasm was wanting.
The democrats paraded by torch¬
light to-night, and the whole
town let itself loose. There were
fifteen thousand in the line, and banners
were innumerable. I note one, carried

The business men turned out, too, as
well as the dry goods and clothing sales¬
men.
One of the funniest tilings about a
business men’s parade is the young leader
of a platoon who seems to think that po¬
litical parading is really his serious business,
ami that the success of candidate de¬
pends entirely upon the even marching
of the line of men of which he is in
charge. The piteous appeals of such an
one to his men to “right dress;" “ touch
elbows" heart of stone, and “keep while step,” tne look would of touch settled a
irony and incipient despair that rests
upon the face as he watches the line sag
and sway over the uneven pavement,
would bring tears to the eyes of a brass

sung a of glee songs, the finale
being in every case, “G-r-o-v-e-r. Get

would yell itself hoarse.
The national, state and municipal
elections are now but little more than'
two weeks distant, but the result can¬
not be forecast by the shrewdest politi¬
cal prophets. Grover Cleveland has
nothing to expect of the press of New
York city. The Hun says openly
it does not like him. and that Har¬
rison is a much better man for
the race. The World gives him the sup¬
port worthy of a sheet wholly apathet¬

fumes and fusses, and the Herald, since
Bennett's advent, has been wiring its
correspondents to send in depreciatory
news marked ‘private.” One says that
