the government's dislike of the measure,
nlso that membera of tho Conservative
p iriy and about a dozen Liberal Unionists,
who still remain in town, wilt oppose the
second reading of the bill.
Members of the front opposition bench
observe reticence on the subject. It is
rumored that Gladstone wilt not support
the Parnell bill on aceonnt of the clause rel

hand, a usually well-informed gentleman
says that the ex-Premier will support the

St. Lotus, September 14.—Arthur Artli-
buthnst, alias Al. Pittman, nliss Charles
Walker, alias Parsons, recently arrested at
Covington, Tennessee, .has confessed to
the sheriff of that oonnty having
murdered Mayor Bowman, of East St.
Louis, on the 20th day of last November.
The sheriff has sent the confession
tho East St. Louis authorities,
and it is in substance that
while walking in the outskirts of Erst St.
Louis, Arthbuthast was approached by the
vlce-presidem of one of tbo railroads ter
minating in East St. Louis with a propo
sition to put Bowman out of the way.
The offer was accepted, and tho price
agreed to, $3,000. Arthbnthust Bays it was
not his intention to kill Bowman, but to
kidnap him and lock him up in a private asy-
inm, with which he had made
arrangements, and use him as a means
of extorting money from both Bowman
and his own employer. He employed two
New York tongns to assist him. When
they attempted to carry out their kidnap
ping scheme Bowman raised an outcry for
ttie police, and he (Arthbuthust) shot him
with the intention to disable bim, and was
suprised to find he had killed Bowman.
He then escaped and was paid tho
agreed price on the street, a short distance
from where Bowman fell. He then went
to his employer's house in Bt. Louis, and
spent the remainder of the night. Early
in the morning, disguised as s womaD, hu
took tho first train for Springfield, 111.
The confession then details his travels
through the South, and his final arrival at
Covington, Teun., and his subsequent ar
rest.
lie s^tes that be mokes, tho confession
voluntarily, (imply because of a guilty con
science. He knows his employer’s name
and his place of residence, and could easily
identify him if he should ever see him again.
He refuses to declare the vice-president’s
name, but promises to do so when the
proper time shall arrive.

Cbtcaoo, September 0. —Mr. W. L. Raw-
son, president of tho Union Trust Com
pany of Chicago, owns n home in West
Monroe street. For nearly a week past the
control of tho houso has been in dispute
between the banker's wife anil a lot of de-
tei-tives. Tlii-ri- is «i-rimn trouble In-tween
Mr. and Mrs. Iiswsnn, ami tbo former lives
.!( tile Grand l’.n-itie, while the Int
is trying to occupy the honso where
they have lived. When Mrs. Itawson
was 15 years old she was married to a
Mr. Slaybscker, of Now Orleans. Not long
after she obtained a divorce from her hus
band on the groufid of his alleged drunken
ness. Then she married Charles M. Lee,
Mississippi, but soon obtained a divorce
from him on rlmilur grounds. Going to
Washington she ohtuined work in tho Pat
ent office. In 1883 she came to Chicago,
bought a house in Michigan avenue, and
settled there, aud soon after Bhe married
Banker Itawson.
She says that she has never lived happily
ith tho banker, aud that be baa put upon
her various indignities, such as compelling
her to retain objectionable servants, and
making life aaplcaaiint for her in many
ways. A fortnight ago she went to Ksw
York on a visit. While Bhe was gore Raw-
son turned the house over to the charge of
Irish coachman, whom she had
asked him to discharge,
and detectives, who divided into
relays of three stay in the housu night and
day. Mrs. Rswson has managed to retain
one room, but exists there in a state of
siege, Tho coachman and the detectives
run the houso nnd try to run her. She
won't submit to that, aud her neighbors are
enjoying a sensation, tho like of which is
seldom seen in families of tho financial
standing'of the Riwbods. It is understood
that Mrs. Rawaon’s attorney will in a day
wo Sis a bill lor *»nar»t« maintenance.
Mr. Kawson offered her tbe bouse or a cash
payment, in addition to $4,500 already
laid, of $'25,00Q. She, however, it is al
eged, insisted.upon a third of his estate, or
$175,000.

Whereas I assure you, sir, that I have no

alb Mr. Fish was tried and convicted for
tim management of tho Marine Bank, and
did not even appear in the rase aa a witness,

friends shoal < coniine themselves to the
facts as brought out in the case and not try

Tho platform declares: “That we send a
cordial greeting to President Cleveland and
his cabinet,, and our hearty commendation
ot their wise and patriotic admin
istration of public affairs in accord
ance with tho principles and pledges of
the Democratic party; an administration
which, by its purity, fidelity and ability,
has commanded tho respect of all parties
and olMMl of men in the United States,
and revived tbo faith of ail in the princi
ples of a free government; and we especially
commend Post-muster General Vilas for his
management of his department, and for his
successful opposition to the so-culled Pa*
cifio Mail subsidy, whorein ho
faithfully adhered to tbo Dem
ocratic principles and triumphantly
vindicated the pledges of the party to oppose
tyranny and monopoly.
ThAt we warmly approve the action of the
Democratic Bonse of Representatives ot the
last two Congresses in securing a restoration
to the public domain of many millions of
acres ot land long since granted to railwny
corporations, and never earned according to
tho conditions of the gruuU.
Inasmuch os the welfare of American
labor demands that the pablio
lands yet remaining should be kept for
homesteads for actual nettlera, wo insist
that all unearned lands heretofore improvi-
dently granted to aid in the construction of
railroads shall bo reclaimed by forfeiture,
and we denounce the practice and policy of
tbe Repnbiicon administrations iu permit
ting vast areas of public lands to fall into
the ownership of foreign land companies
and alien absentees.
That we denounce the Republican party
for its coarse on questions of convict con
tract labor, and the treatment of honest
workingmen as anarchists.
That the intemperate and excessive use of
intoxicating liquors is earn* stly to be de
plored, and wo believe that the liquor traf-
should bo regulated by reasona
ble and liberal lawa, bnt regard
tho enactment of any sumptuary
or prohibitory lawn, whetner gonoral or
local, designed exclusively for arbitrary
regulation of personal habits of artisans, ns
an or rgotiiti.-ul pnwrr unwar
ranted by tho constitution, and contrary to
tho fundamental principles of &U freo gov
ernment, and justified by no practical re
sults yet attained in the experience of man
kind.
That the Democratic party has unfiinch
ingly testified its gratitndo to tho soldiers
of the repubiio by supporting liberal pen
sions and bounties and just measures for
their equalization, and that wo favor snch
changes in tho pension laws au shall remove
mero technical obstructions to meritorious
claims, and Hball afford liberal pensions,
graded according to the extent of disability,
That a reduction of tbo tnriff to a reve
nue basis is tbo principle of tho Democratic
party, and that thoso members of the pres
ent House cf Representatives select*! as
Democrats, who voted against considering
the bill for a redaction of tbe tariff, do
serve no recognition in Democratic conn-
oils.

Cnicxuo, September 15.—Next Saturday
morning an extraordinarily largo excursion
party will leave this city for Boston, over
tho Chicago and Grand Trunk railway. The

this remarkable train will leave Chicago
Saturday at ‘J a. m. The remaining
sections of the train will leave every twenty
minutes thereafter until the entire party is
on tbe move. The Grand Trunk Company
will clear the tracks of all other traffic, as
far as possible, and fast time will be inado
to Niojpirn, where tbe first stop will bomado
for breakfast the following morning. This
great exconion is going to tbo Odd Fellows
celebration at Boston next week, when the
Sovereign Grand Lodge of tho world will
hold its meeting.
'The Odd Fellows are vainly trying to get
lower rates for ever^bodyton all trainx.
They entered into a contract with tho
Grand Trunk for $13 for the ronnd trip.
Since that dato other competing roads have
made concesrions. After tho rates were
sent ont .to the whole western country ask
ing various orders to rendezvous at Chicago,
And from here make a grand ^t^rt for
Boston.
The response already received indicate
that from 8,000 to 10,000 of the fraternity
will assemble and pass through Chicago.
Tho celebration at Boston is expected to
eclipse anything ever attempted by the
Odd Fellows. Patriarchs Militant (military
branch of the order,) will, for tbo first tin*
participate in the annual festivities, and it
is estimated that 10,000 chevaliers and 60,-
000 subordinates will move upon tho
parade.
