frains Blockaded te Michigan and Celery Crops Destroyed. Derrorr, Mich., Oct. 29.—All the records of the weather office for Oc- tober were broken by the cold wave and northwest gale to-day. The wind attained great velocity, so much so that the sand dunes at St. Joseph were shifted and hundreds of tons of sand blown across the Chicago & West Michigan tracks, stopping all railroad traffic. From numerous points through- out the state come reports of wind and snowstorms and bitterly cold weather. From Schoolcraft it is reported that there have been sand and duststorms of great fury for forty-eight hours, the sir being filled with sand, which cuts the face and makes it almost impossi- ble to be out of doors. No such weather has ever been experienced be- fore, and thousands of dollars of dam- age has been done to the celery crop at Kalamazoo and other points through- out the state. The New berry celery crop was utterly ruined by the cold snap. TWO naa pows. |NAID TO BE SHORT. A Warrant for the Arrest of the ex- City Treasurer of Tacoma. Fatal Outcome of an Attack on an Ohio Jail—The Mob Three Hun- dred, Drunk With Whiskey, Driven Back but Not Subdued. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 27.—Two men were killed outright at Tiffin, O., at 1:30 o’clock this morning while a mob of 300 were storming the jail to lynch Lee Martin. The sentiment against Martin, the man who so heartlessly killed marsha] Schulz last evening while resisting arrest, broke out in a crazy fury to- night and culminated about 1:30 this mcroing in an onslaught on the jail by a crowd numbering 300. The attacking party was composed principally of men from Hopewell Township, the home of the murdered Marshal. The latter's brother head- 4 ed the mob A number of Tiffin . men were in the crowd and took an aggressive part. The result is that two of the at- tacking party were instantly killed. The mob formed on the outskirts of the town and marched to the jail in a body. They went to work without ceremony and commenced to batter down the doors at the side entrance, making no demand of the Sheriff for the keys or anything. } Saturday being the day of the ; Marshal's funeral, an attack was not : unexpected by the Sheriff, and when night came strong guard was placed on tbe inside of the jail. A sharp fusilade was commenced by the guards. At first they fired in the air, but as the attack became fiercer, the guards shot to take effect. The killing put a temporary stop to the onslaught, but it made the mob act like so many wild animals. They left the building swearing vengeance on the Sheriff and crying their in tention to blow the jail up with dynamite. Henry Mutschler is the name of one of the dead men. He is a labor- erabout 25 years of age. He was druok during the evening and was one of the agitators. The name of the other man is Chris Mott, and he lives in this city. He is a butcher. At 2:30 a. m. the mob is standing on the square, bluodthirsty, but not daring to make another attack. Of. ficer Kieffer in trying to repel the mob was struck on the head witha stone. Every attempt is being made by the cooler heads to pacify the mob, but all is apparently in vain. A tele- gram was forwarded to Gov. Mc- Kinley at 2:30 a. m., asking him to HORSE CANNERS ARRESTED. Your Men Jailed for Selling Diseased Horse- flesh for Food—Van Alen Placed Un- der Bouds for Alienating Mrs. Colt’s Affections. San Francisco, Oct. 29.—A Tacoma dispatch to the Chronicle says that ex- City Treasurer Boggs, who held office from 1890 to 1894, is an embezzler to the extent of $109,000 and that the sheriff is on the road to Jacksonville, Ore., to arrest him. The recent bank failures at Tacoma disclosed the fact that Boggs, while treasurer, depos- ited a large sum of city warrants in the banks, receiving credit as cash. The warrants so deposited are sup- posed to aggregate $212,000. The Ger- man-American and Columbian national banks have brought suit to have their accounts with the city offset with these warrants, claiming them to be illegal because issued in excess of legal indebtedness. The city’s deposit in these banks aggregates $162,000, and if their contention is upheld it is claimed the city would lose that amount, as it would be morally bound to validate and pay these warrants. These facts led to a close investigation of Boggs’ alleged warrant transactions by the city officials and prosecuting attorney, with the result that it was decided Saturday to put him on trial. Just how the sum of $109,000, the alleged stolen amount, is arrived at, cannot be told, as the officials will not talk until the arrest is made. In September, 1894, Boggs was ar- rested on a similar charge to the pres- ent one and acquitted, the evidence being chiefly documentary, and some of that offered was ruled out. He has been at Jacksonville developing a gold mine, situated 36 miles across the Cali- fornia line. He has recently sold the mine, and friends say that he will re- ceive $75,000 between now and January 1. It is believed he will come back without resistance. Horse Meat Packers Arrested. Hammonp, Ind., Oct. 29.—Three em- ployes of Moersche’s horse meat pack- ing house have been arrested by Sheriff Hayes and four deputies, after a most exciting chase. The charges against them are killing diseased horses and disposing of the meat for food. The men were placed under $300 bonds, in default of which they were taken to Crown Point. Moersche, the owner of the concern, is in Indianapolis trying to get an injunction in the United States court. James J. Van Alen Arrested. Newport, R. L., Oct. 29.—James J. Van Alen returned from New York last evening and was driven to *Wake- harst.” The deputy sheriff who holds the writ for his arrest on the suit of Col. Colt for $200,000 damages for alienation of Mrs. Colt’s affections did not expect him last evening, having received information that he would probably arrive later. Therefore he was not arrested until to-day. He at once gave $200,000 bail. THURSDAY THE DAY. Both Julian and Brady Declare the Fight ‘Will Ocear That Day. CuicaGo, Oct. 29.—Private telegrams were received in this city yesterday evening from both Brady and Julian saying that the fight will positively come off on Thursday. Brady says it will be in private for a side bet of $5,000 or $10,000, and that Fitzsimmons will put up his money as soon as he reaches Hot Springs. Julian says the fight will positively come off in private in Hot Springs on Thursday. A telegram from Little Rock says the attorney-general has swore out a warrant for the arrest of Fitzsimmons and Julian as soon as they enter the state. In anticipation of of a fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons being pulled off, the Western Union Telegraph Co. has sent nine operators to Hot Springs, Ark., to handle any press matter that may be filed. WAR WITH ENGLAND. the possibility Senator Chandler Says a Conflict Is Inevita- ble, and Shoald Welcomed. Concorp, N. H., Oct. 29.—An editorial appeared yesterday in the Evening Monitor, Senator Chandler’s paper, written by the senator, and headed, “Our Coming War With England.” It says, in part: ‘‘War between the United States and England is in- evitable. It will arise on ac- count of British disregard for our direct interests. It will also be forced by British encroach- ments upon other nations all over the world. It will be fought by us, hav- ing Russia as our European ally. As a war offensive on our part, it may not happen within twenty years. As a defensive war, it may come sooner, and should be welcomed. One sure result will be the capture and perma- nent acquisition of Canada by the United States.” FEAKED A MOB. A Negro Assailant at Higginsville Taken to Lexington for 8: LEXINGTON, Mo., Oct. 29.—Thaddeus Gilmore, a middle-aged negro of Hig- ginsville, was placed in jail here for attempted assault upon the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. Hefner, a butcher of that place.

The | repute. fight is an assured thing.” A telegram from Little Rock says Gov. Clarke received a telegram from Corpus Christi announcing that Fitz- simmons left there at 8:30 o'clock and that his destination was some point in Arkansas, which was not revealed by the ticket purchased. It is certain that he will not go to Texarkana, as he was notified that the governor has an officer there to. arrest him, but it is believed that he will go to Hot Springs by way of Hoxie, and a tele- gram was sent to the authorities of that town to watch every train through there. The governor sent out several inquiries this morning to ascertain the movements of the slugger, and expects to find out before night the exact route he intends to take to reach Tex- arkana. He has abandoned the idea of going to Hot Springs to-morrow. PRAYED FOR RAIN. The People of Slater, Mo., Assemble in a Church—Drought Damages. StaTeR, Mo., Oct. 29.—A large num- ber of citizens congregated at the Baptist church here this afternoon for the express purpose of praying for rain.

Hoeffer, the republican can- didate for the legislature, charged with offering to vote for a democrat for senator if they would give him $1,500 for election expenses, appear- ed in the pulpit to preach to-day. The church wascrowded. Stenog- * raphers were there to take down the reverend gentleman’s words. He was late coming, but was cool. He gave out the hymn and after it had been sung, arose, trembling all over. He said: “Last nighta boy waked me up at midight at my house and brought me a powder which I took. Ithought it was from Dr. Kernin, my family physician, at that time, but now Iam morally certain it was not. I hoped it would give me strength, but it had the opposite eftect. It will be impossible for me togay anything. This powder has deranged my mind.” With that he fell into a chair, his ~ head leaning over the back, his arms * hanging limp. Women screamed and excitement and confusion fol- lowed. Some shouted to bring him water. He said he did not know the boy that brought the medicine. To all cross-questions he answered: “My lips are glued.” He repeated this answer to all questions. Finally @ deacon prayed that God would show the church what todo. The preacher was carried home, where admission 1s denied to all callers, although it is reported Rev. Hoeffer is recovering. Inquiry reveals the fact the reverend gentleman was not at home last night, but stayed ata neighbor’s house.

PINGREE FOR PRESIDENT. The Detroit Mayor Beomed for Governor in 1896 and President in 1900—Neigh- bors Think a Rich Man Has Too Much Land. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 29.—‘‘For forty years I have hoped for the an- nexation of Cuba to the United States,” said Col Ivan N. Walker, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R, when asked what he thought of the proposed mass meeting in this city to express sym- pathy with the Cubans. “Some of the bést friends I ever had have of- fered up their lives in attempts to free Cuba from the yoke of Spain. I re- ceived a letter a few days ago from a committee at Chicago which desires to have general Cuban :neet- ings held all over the country on October 31. The committee asked me to issue a general order to the G. A. R. for the posts to meet and give expression to the Cuban movements. I answered that it was entirely un- necessary, as the soldiers of this land are quite capable of expressing them- selves on all patriotic subjects.” Pingree for President.

American Railway Union Makes Demands Upon the Great Northern. Kansas Crry, Mo., Oct. 29.—The in- dications are that James J. Hill will be compelled to accede to the demands to be made on him by the American Railway union, or have visited upon the Great Northern road an extensive strike. There is a committee of eight, chosen from various lodges of the or- der, and together they are revis- ing the schedules for submission to President Hill. The main ground for contention is that a low paid man with a grievance is entitled to as much consideration as a high paid man without a grievance. As further cause for complaint, it is claimed that Mr. Hill, ever since the union won the great strike which came to an end May 18, 1894, has been systematically violating the agreement made at that time.
