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 FOURTH QUARTKRLY MEETING LIVELY TIMES IN IRELAND. sim 1 s.

Yours for business, THORNTON WHEATLEY. 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. Of the Sumter County Sundar-Schoo! As sociation.

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. ” There's not a joy the cartii can givo, like the sudden surcease of violent and terrible pain.

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. Col. J.
