She Is an Old Sister.
Chicago, Oct. 27.-*-At the World’s
Real Estate'congress, ex-Congressman
Graham Frost, of St. Louis, declared
that Chicago is an older city than St.
Louis, and produced an old vellum book
he found in a second hand hook shop,
which contained a map made in 1690
from the original charts of La Salle, the
French explorer.
Neither New Orleans, which was
founded in 1717, nor St. Louis, which
dates from 1763, is on the map. hut at
the foot of the great lake is a trading
post, spelled “Shee-kaw-gu.”
BOYNTON S RELEASE.
Th* American Held la Brazil 8*1<1 to B*
Noa Compos Mentis.
Washington, Oct. 27.—Dr. Boynton,
the eccentric American who was arrest
ed in the harbor of Rio Janeiro last
month while navigating a tugboat float
ing the British flag and presumably bent
i blowing up tbe insurgent Brazilian
with a torpedo which he had on
, is to be released from confinement
Tthe United States cruiser Charleston,
r direction of Secretary Herbert and
gtat back to this country. Secretary
lerbert said that he would order the
commander of the Charleston to release
Dr. Boynton when Moody Boynton, of
Boston, a relative of the would-be de
stroyer, had sent money to pay his pass
age from Rio to the United States.
It is learned elsewhere that the prom
ise oLDr. Boynton’s release was secured
by Jonah Quincy, ex-assistant secretary
of state, and Representative Everett, of
Massachusetts, who had become inter
ested in the matter though the efforts of
Moody Boynton. The latter had showed
to the satisfaction of the gentlemen and
Secretary Herbert that Dr. Boynton was
not mentally responsible, and that his
relatives would see that he caused no
more embarrassment to the United
States in its diplomatic relations with
Great Britain and Brazil.
Boynton had hoisted the British eu-
sign over his tugboat and steamed out
from Rio in the direction of the rebel
fleet. The flag attracted the attention of
the captain of a British war vessel in the
harbor and he stopped the tug and found
the torpedo on board. On learning that
Boynton was an American citizen he
He 1* Grieved at th* Act!** of Part of HU
Creditors.
Cleveland, Oct. 27.—Ex-Secretary
Foster has made the following state
ment regarding the suit brought by his
creditors:
“Of course I am disappointed and
grieved at this action on the part of my
creditors. I have been doing every
thing in my power to assist the assignees
of my various interests to settle up mat
ters with as little loss to my creditors as
possible, but this action on the part of
the creditors’ committee is discouraging
to me, and my inclination would natu
rally be, under the circumstances, to let
them go as they might.
“I do not think the creditors will gain
anything by this snit. I have done
nothing either dishonest or dishonorable.
The sale of my business block to Mr.
Harkness was a bona fide transaction,
and the books of the bank will show
what was done with the proceeds. The
sale of the homestead to my wife was
made 10 years ago, and was perfectly
legal. This action on the part of the
creditors defers Indefinitely the settle
ment of my affairs, as it will mean a 10
years* lawsuit.”
Suit was begun in Tiffin, O., Tuesday,
by Mrs. Anna Ball, of Foetoria, one of
the creditors of ex Governor Foster,
against 17 persons, the principal ones
being ex-Govemor Foster, John R. Wil
kinson, Charles Olmstead and Mrs. Laura
Foster, mother of the governor, all of
whom were in the banking firm of Fos
ter & Co.
It is alleged in the petition that the
firm was known to be insolvent two
years ago; that in October, 1883, Charles
Foster deeded his homestead and other
real property to his mother, who, in
turn, deeded it to his wife, but the deeds
were not recorded until the day of the
assignment, May 26, 1893; that March
21,1893, Charles Foster and wife deeded
$110,000 worth of property to William
L. Harkness, a creditor, but the deeds
were not recorded until after the assign
ment. It is further alleged that Charies
Olmsted and John E. Wilkinson also
transferred certain real and personal
property on the day of the assignment.
Temporary injunctions were granted
restraining all the defendants from trans
ferring or disposing of any of the real or
personal property in question, and the
recorders of the three counties in which
it is located were restrained from record
ing any document making such transfer.
The committee appointed by the credit
ors some time since is back of the suit.
The beginning of the legal action led
to an erroneous report that ex-Secretary
Foster had been arrested.
STONE’S STATEMENTS.
Th* Wrattan Murderer Telle Another
Story About the Killing.
Washington, lnd., Oct. 27.—James
Stone, who some days ago confessed that
he, with the five men now in*, prison;
murdered the Wrattan family in Davies
county a few weeks ago, has made an
other confession to parties in this city.
Stone says he alone murdered the Wrat-
tan family.
He exonerates the men he implicated
in his first confession. He told the offi
cers where to find the weapons with
which the deed was done. The officers
went out before daylight and found
them where Stone had stated. A small
bloody ax and a corn knife were hidden
in a piece of woods close by tbe scene of
the tragedy. The weapons are now in
the possession of the grand jury. It is
the opinion that Stone may or may not
not be telling tho truth. He has the
reputation of being a notorious liar. It
is not. believed that he did the deed
alone.
A MACON MAN MISSING.
Utatuuat Holme*, of the Folic* Force,
Hat Mysteriously Disappeared.
Macon, Oct. 27. — The continued
absence of Lieutenant George Holmes,
one of the most popular police officers in
Macon, is causing his friends and fam
ily considerable anxiety.
Holmos left the city about a week ago
ostensibly for a trip to Atlanta. He was
recognized on the train between here
and Atlanta, but hks not been seen or
heard of since. Holmes's family and
friends are becoming very mnch alarmed
and if something is not heard from him
in the next few hours some of his friends
will start on a search for him.
Beet on’* Prison Record.
Boston, Oct. 27.—Alderman Maguire
of the committee on prisons, which sent
to the board of aldermen a report in re
gard to the treatment of the prisoners at
the house of correction; says that on the
occasion of the committee’s visit to the
institution there were four men {n soli
tary confinement. It was reporteo'to the

teed subjected to solitary punishment j
had ended in insane asylums.

ters are properly registered, hut are

ADMIRAL STANtON.
Me Ha* Been Relieved and Will Come
Heme at Once.
Washington, Oct. 27.—There are no
further developments in the matter of
reducing Admiral Stanton from the com
mand of the south Atlantic squadron for
saluting the Brazilian insurgent, Admi
ral Mello, and it will probably he allow
ed to rest until Stanton’s arrival.
Secretary Herbert declined to say any
thing beyond that Stanton had been de
tached from command, and that fact im
plied his return home. He would not
say whether or not the offending admi
ral had asked for a court of inquiry to
investigate the affair.
Serious Railroad Trouble.
Knoxville, Oct. 27.—There is a good
prospect for serious trouble between the
conductors and engineers and firemex.
and the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Tailway. The general griev
ance committee, after hearing Receiv
er Fink’s refusal to withdraw the
reduction of 10 per cept in wages,
telegraphed Chief Arthur, of the Brother

in a day or two.
