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.

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.
