Jersey City, Oct. 28.-A new and
inotit remarkabie feature in the case of
Charles II. Storldard, now confined in
Hudson county jail for forging checks,
lias just come to light. A little less
than two years ago Stoddard, then mas
querading under the name of Henry B.
Davis, was convicted of similar offenses
in Nashville and was sent to Tracy,City
branch prison in Tennessee to serve a
term of six years. He was put to work
in tiie mines. This year, however, he
obtained freedom by one of the boldest
and most ingenious ruses that criminal
ingenuity ever devised. The discovery
of fraud has led Governor Buchanan of
Tennessee, to make u requisition on
Governor Abbott of New Jersey, in
order that the prisoner may he tried
for the crime by which he secured his
liberty.
It appears that Governor Buchanan
a few months ago received a petition
purporting to be signed by fifty of the
leading citizens of Covington, asking for
Stoddard's release, accompanied by m
■vvier presumably signed by N. W. Bap
tist, of the firm of Baptist & Beadle,
reputable and well known attorneys of
that place. ■ Tiiis letter weaves a story
of romance about Stoddard, or Davis,
ns lie was known in Tennessee prison,
and recites in great detail how he was
the victim of a conspiracy, planned and
engineered by a wicked and Avaricious
stepfather, named James Sherrill, and
abetted by the latter’s wicked brother.
This stepfather’s cruel conduct, the
letter alleged, drove the prisoner to dis
sipation, and the step-father, by fraud,
had him convicted of forgery, so he
might enjoy the estate of Divis’s moth
er, some sixty thousand dollars. Baptist
was made to say that ho had saved a
division of the sheriff’s estate, which
would give the prisoner the snug sum
of $37,000 to begin life anew. The let
ter also stated that a note of a confiden
tial character had been sent to the gov
ernor to hand to Stoddard, because a
lawyer could not consistently hand it to
him, and then continued :
"Give him kindly admonition and
God-speed. He has some money with
him, and should he need more and not
be suitably clad, kindly meet his needs
and I will send a check. He is a Mason
and a member of the Alliance, and his
brothers here are very anxious to hear
of his prompt release. I trust that the
acknowledgment of this letter will be
the news that Davis is free. ’’
After this charming bit of naivette,
which paved the way for Stoddard to
filch money and a suit of clothes from
the government, the unique document
says that Davis and his friends will be
satisfied with the punishment ot Sher
rill, and that the signature of every
citizen in Tipton county could have
been obtained to the petition. "The
signers.” it goes on to say, "are all
first class citizens and deeply interested
in the matter of Davis’ release. Jus
tice demands his immediate pardon and
I ask it as a personal favor, uud what
ever I can do render your administra
tion successful and for your future ad
vancement in political life will be done,
as you know, cheerfully. ”
The signatures attached to the peti
tion include the names of S. L. Cock
roft, attorney general; T. D. Flippen,
judge of the circuit court; Daniel H.
Smith, oheriff of Tipton county, and
many others, including the law firm of
Baptist & Beadle, to whom the writer
of the letter was supposed to belong.
Stoddard was duly released and the
governor only discovered the fraud
when he spoke to one of the supposed
signers of the petition, who denounced
the whole thing as a fraud. Stoddard’s
trial will come off in a few days, and
under the laws of New Jersoy he can
be sent to the state prison, for ten years.
After that he can be sent to Tennessee,
but not before.
THE UNITED STATES
Asks Chill to Make Repartition for the
Valparaiso A flair.
Santiago de Chiu, Oct. 27.—The
United State* government, through
Minister Egan, formally demanded
reparation from tho government of
Chili, for the attack recently made in
Valparaiso upon a number of seamen of
the Uniled States cruiser Baltimore.
The demand is no informal suggestion
that tiie government at Washington
ex (nets some kind of satisfaction for tho
killing and wounding of the Baltimore's
soldiers; it is a friendly-put notification,
given according to direct orders received
from tile state department at Washing
ton, that the United States demands an
immediate explanation of the whole af
fair and reparation for injuries inflicted.
Act'ng upon the instructions sent to
him troin Washington Mr. Egan pre
sented the Chilian Junta with a detailed
account of the investigation made by
Captain Schley of the Baltimore, and

Several Affrays at the Close of Various
l'olltieal Meetings.
Cork, Oct. 28.—The feeling aroused
throughout Ireland, and especially in
this city, by the recent political and
factional saying* and doing* i* very
bitter, and threatens to result in seri
ous conflicts between the McCarthyites
and tho Parnellites. There wore sev
eral affrays hero at the close of the va
rious political meetings, and sticks and
stones were freely used by both parties.
The result is tliut a number of members
of the two opposing parties are being
nursed in hospitals and elsewhere, for
severe wounds incurred during the
frays. A girl who was an onlooker
during one of these political scrim
mages, was severely wounded about the
head and face by stones.
A sermon preached at Kilkenny by
Father Fidelia of St. Francis, is much
commented upon hero and elsewhere.
Father Fidelis upon that occasion bit
terly denounced the late Charles Stew
art Parnrll, saying that " the most de
praved monster who ever lived was now
swept off the face of the earth." The
reverend gentleman also said that the
women who were supporting him were
"limbs of the devil," and that the local
workingmen's clubs was a "synagogue
of hell."
Tight 1-wring Killed Her Snddwnl,.
Pottstown, Pa., Oct. 28.—Tight loo-
ing killed Katie Cole, aged 18 yoars, on
Franklin str,et here. She was on her
way to church and dropped dsad on the
street during a alight coughing spell.
Dr. C. A. Yocum was called, bat 2li|s
Cole teas past his help. An examina
tion thoroughly convinced the physi
cian that the tight compression of tHe
closely laced and slender waist had
squeezed the life out of Kate
by Mr. Egun himself. There investiga
tions had shown that Charles Riggan,
one of the Baltimore’s petty officers,
was brutally aissaulted by several Cliil-
-ikia while he was riding on a street car.
Riggan resisted, but was dragged from
the car and murdered by a pistol shot
in the arms of his companion, Turnbell,
another of the Baltimore’s wounded
men, who Inis since died from his in
juries. He received no less than eigh
teen shot wounds in the back, two of
them penetrating his lung.
After giving a full list of the Balti
more’s crew who were injured by the
mob, Mr. Egan’s statement called at
tention to the fact that thirty-five of
the cruiser’s crew were, on the day of
the riots, arrested, unnecessary vio
lence being used by the police, and that
they were detained in custody without
due cause. In conclusion Mr. Egan
said that surgeons of the United States
warships expressed the opinion that
some of the wounds inflicted upon the
American sailors were bayonet wounds
and that this clearly showed that the
police officers of Valparaiso, who are
armed with bayonets, took part in the
attack. The Americans were without
arms and practically defenseless.
Mr. E^an, in presenting Chilian
junta with this statement of the assault
on the American sailors, expressed in
distinct terms the feeling ot great in
dignation which the state department at
Washington feels at the whole affair,
and esjHicially at the brutal conduct of
the police of Valparaiso in joining with
the mob in the latter’s attack upon the
Baltimore’s seamen, and in drawiug
their bayonets and using them against
the unarmed Americans. Egau also
particularly called attention to the addi
tional brutality of the police of Valpa
raiso in using horses to drag the Amer
icans to prison.
After making a brief but pointed
summary of facts, to which he had
been instructed to call attention, Minis
ter Egan informed the representatives
of the junta that, in the name of the
United States, he demanded reparation
for the insults and injuries complained
of. Now, the question which arises is,
what will be the action of the Chilian
government ? As it appears now. there
seems to lie no doubt that the jubta will
soon make the reparation demanded.
Naturally the action tukeu by Minister
Egan is attracting the attention of
foreign ministers and of foreigners gen
erally who are residents of this repub
lic. The sympathy of the American
colony is entirely with Captain Schley
and his blue jackets, and they are one
and all glad to receive the news made
public that another United States war
vessel, the Boston, bad actually sailed
for these waters. The Chilians try to
smooth over the assault upon and im
prisonment of the Ainejicun sailors by
classiug it as a simple street row.

M'GRATH ON THE ALLIANCE.
lie Severely Scores the Element Which
, Defeated Him.
Topeka, Oct. 37.—Frank Mcprath,
who was defeated for re-election nl
president of the Farmers’ Alliance of
Kansas, in an interview severely scored
the element in the Alliance which de
feated him. He regards them os dan
gerous leaders and anarchists, whose
counsels will wreck the Alliance. He
suid that President Biddle is inflnenoed
by that class of men. "I will have
nothing more to do with it, and will
fight it as hard ns I know how, I am
not pressing my individual feelMe now,
hnt those of my friends who stood by
me in the convention. They formed
the conservative element there, and
they represented the conservative men
of the Alliance in ull parts of the state.
The People’s party is doing much to
disrupt the Alliance, for the reason that
it lias been controlled largely by a class
of men who are not in sympathy with
the farmers. A year ago the Fanners’
Alliance in Kansas hail a membership
of 140,000 in good standing on the
hooks; uow it has less than sixty thou
sand. ”

The Circus.
A fair audience greeted King A
Franklin’s circus yesterday and last
night at its presentation on (< the lawn."
As a general thing there Is little variety
in a performance of this kind, all being
nearly alike. Yet in this entertainment
there are several new And novel fea
tures not always to be seen. Notable
among these is a presentation of living
statuary. This in itself is well arranged
and well rendered, and alone Is worth
the very low price of admission.
The educated horse is another draw
ing card for the show, as seldom is there
to be seen an animal combining at once
such beauty and intelligence. The
march to music by his equine majesty/
in which ho kept perfect time to the
measure was peculiarly good.
The trapeze and acrobatio business
was above the average, and the hippo
drome racing very exciting.
Of course the usual funny clown was
en evidence, and divided the modicum
of laughter with the concert.
