Annapolis and Maryland were thrown into a state of excitement last night by the announce- ment from Goy. Juckson to the legislature that si fully appropriated money trusted to his keep- ing. The news came at 10:30 p.m. in the fol- lowing message from the governor: “On Monday evening. 24th instant, I received from the controller ef the treasury a communica- tion as follows: “Frederick, March 23, 1890.3To his Excel- lency E. E. Jackson—Dear 4, becomes my painful dnty to inform you that information reached me in Frederick on Saturday evening last which convinces me that there has been a misappropriation of the state securities in the hands of Ntate Treasurer Stevenson Archer. I believe that at least two of the banks of Balti- more city hold notes of Mr. Archer secured by bonds of the kind belonging to the state 6i ing fund, one being secured by Piedmont and Cumberland bonds. another by treasury relief bonds, aud that another loan was ucgotiated by Mr. Archer and Frederick city bonds were deposited us collateral bearing the same num- bers as some of the bonds belonging to the state sinking fund. The gravity of this informa- tion Is such that it becomes imperative npon | me to communicate it to you at once in order that an immediate investigation of the accounts of the state treasurer may be made and such further action taken as may be necessary to very respect- fully, L. Victron Bavouma sontrolicr.” “As soon as this letter reached me I endeav- | ored to communicate with the treasurer, but | Thave been unable to do so, and it has ‘been reported to me that he is critically ill at his home in Belair. I feel it my duty, without further delay. to make known to you the yed to me by the controller, that your houorable body way take prompt action to investigate the affairs of the office of the treasurer and ascertain whether the state securities are intact or not. I have the honor, &e., Exiuv E. Jackson. Governor.” In the senate Mr. Poe immediately offered a Message to the house for the appointment of a Joint committee of three on the part of the jouse and twoon the partof the senate, to take into consideration the subject matter of the goveruer’s message. Messrs. Poe and Smith were appointed on the part of the sen- ate. Similar action was taken in the house when the same message reached the lower house. HOW THEY TOOK It. The story of the affair is told as follows by the Baltimore Sun: The message from the governor came like a shock to the members of the legislature. The presiding officers and some of the senators had Leen previously sent for by Gov. Jackson and were told of the affair. Secretary of State LeCompte carried a copy of the message into each honse, and when the business then up was disposed of it was read. The scene in the house, which was full of people, was almost indescribable. Members fell back in their seats specchiess for the time, aud it was a strange sight to see strong men crying like children, An unfounded report was circulated during the excitement that a tele- gram had been received from Belair stating that Mr. Archer was dead, but this was soon contradicted. Both houses adjourned at once. For a long while afterward the state house lob- bies and chambers were filled with members and other people discussing the matter in groups. Loud talking was suspended for once and every one talked in an undertone. There were a number of ladie8 in both houses when the startling news was made public, Gov. Jackson and Controller Baughman remained at the executive mansion. Both were visibly affected. The controller. paced the floor and wrung his hands and he could not control his feelings enough to give a clear Statement. It was his discovery of the hypoth- ecation of securities held by the state that led to the disclosures, and it was his letter that Gov, Jackson used as the basis for the message to the legislature. THE NOTES AND SECURITIES. Controller Baughman reiterated the sub- stance contained in his letter. He said: “Two of the notes that I have traced here are for €2,000 and $2,700 respectively. I do not know | the character or the amounts of the securities. | The safe deposit vault at Bultimore stands in | the name of the state treasurer, and no one else can have access to it. On Monday I was in Bal- timore with the governor and attorney general, We sent telegrams to Mr. Archer and waited his carriage, but his illness stopped proceed- ings. It was my duty as state controller to lay | the facts a3 far as I knew them before the gov- ernor, and there was nothing else for me to de. It is not possible to know what is the condition | of the state securities, because they are locked up in the safe deposit vault. Icannot say any- thing as to the probable amount involved in the affair.” Governor Jackson: ‘It was one of the great- est surprises that has ever fallen upon me, My confidence and respect for Mr. Archer were sincere and I often consulted with him upon the most confidential subjects. I have had nearly sleepless nights since this unfortunate affair was disclosed to me, ‘There is nothing to say tonight beyond the contents of the con- trolier’s letter.“ But I have always been op- posed to the ipvestment of money for sinking funds in other than securities of the state, as 1s allowed by the act of 1584. Such securities cannot be canceled and they remain in the sinking fund to be used. perhaps, as some of them may have been. But I am not in the mood to discuss any topic tonight.” FOUND IN THE Woops, The following account of Mr. Archer’s illness is given by the American: Mr. Archer bad been in Baltimore on Tuesday and stopped at the Carroliton hotel. He showed at that time no sign of worry, but chatted pleasantly with frie. ls he found in the corridor. In the even- ing he took the train for Belair. There he stopped for a moment at the drug store of Dr. Wilham H. Richardson, where he purchased and lit a cigar. Those who saw him in the drug store noticed that his demeanor had changed. He seemed worried about something and did not chat with the people inthe store in his usual che: manner. After he had lighted his cigar he said he must go to his office, as he | , had several hours’ work to do before he went to bed. His office was but a few steps from the drug store and was in the new Masouic build- ing. There he worked for several hours, as the light was seen burning. He did not go home at all Tuesday night and when his family heard yesterday morning that he had been in Belair the evening before they were very much alarmed about him. Search was begun and about 8 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Archer was found wandering about in the woods a couple of miles from the town and nearly the same distance from his home. When found his clothes were soak- ing wet and covered with dirt, and he had evi- dently waded through streams and mud without knowing whither he was going. Those who found him say that he was completely dazed and his mind was wandering. He hada strange look in his eye, and acted like a man who was trying to carry a burden too heavy for him to bear. No doubt he had been wander- ing about in the woods for four or five hours. He was carried to his beautiful home, Hazel Dell, which is about a mile northwest of Bel- sir, Physicians were summoned, one being sent for from Baltimore. Telegrams received by the American from Belair last night stated that Mr. Archer's condition was of so serious a character as to alarm bis friends, and much anxiety was felt about him athis home and in town.

A Georgia Man Tells the Story of the Gene rprise. From the Macon Telegraph. One of the employes of the Central railroad, aveteran who saw hard service in the war, teils this morning the story of Gen. Crook's capture. “Reading the account in the Telegraph of the death of Gen. Crook called to my mind one winter night, a few months after the end of the war, a little suburb of Baltimore and around a glooming wood fire where the company lis- tened to the account of the capture of the gen- eral and his companion, Gen. Kelley, at Cum- berland some time in the summer or fall of 1664. “We had been apprised,” said the narrator, an ex-confederate cavalryman, “by our scouts of the arrival of the a in Cumberland and our captain immediately conceived the idea of an attempt at their capture, “Our company was securely hidden from ob- servation by a thick wood not a great way from Cumberland, At or near the hour of midnight @ squad of picked men, not more than half a dozen, slowly worked their way toward the city. Arriving sufely at a designated point we separated, one by one. to enter the city by different points, but all to bring up at the hotel where the officers were known to have stopped. In good tim without being detected or molested in any mannor, we all arrived safely at the rallying point, the hotel entrance. To gain the sleeping apartments was but the work of @ moment, where we captured a terrified | porter, who was made to show our party tho rooms occupied by the sleep- ing = generals, With . teeth chattering with terror and fear of instant death he piloted us to the room of Gen. Crook. The door was opened and the officer was seen inbed. A gen- tle touch awakened him, when he was told he was a prisoner and ordered to get up and dress. He did soand the detail waa soon ready to start on their perilous return, after bein, joined by other members of the squad, who ha been successful in the capture of Gen. Kelley. “Noiselessly and one by one we returned, threading the silent streets to the rendezvous. Vur horses were mounted and with our valua- ble acquisition we soon rejoined our company and trotted away toward the banks of the Po- tomac, which were soon crossed, and ina couple of hours rapid riding we’ were safe within the confederate lines, without a single mishap to man or horse. -oo——_____ PRAYING AGAINST TIME. A Pointer in the Matter of Getting a Quorum, An undergraduate in one of the universities not so very far from New York tells the fol- lowing story, says the New York Evening Sun, of how one of the Greek letter fraternities in the institution recently captured the presi. dency of one of the literary societies at a time when the office was for some reason particularly to be desired. “First we made a coalition,” he said, “with the fraternity whose man was already in the chair, Counting their fellows and our own and the fellows of another fraternity we found we had just one man more than the opposition party. But when the society met on its regu- lation evening one of our fellows, a man not always to be relied upon, was missing. It was time for the society to be called to order and the first business would be the election of offi- cers. The fellows on the opposition were tri- cape We had a few minutes’ consultation with ourselves and with the president, and then two of our men quietly left the hall. “It had always been customary to open the meetings of the society with some brief kind of devotional exercises—a mere form, sufficient to keep up the ancient habit. The president called on one of our own fellows to officiate, He walked to the big Bible, opened it at the One Hundred and Nineteenth psalm and began toread. He read on, and on, and on; thirty minutes passed, The fellows on the other side were in amazement, He finished the psalm; then he began a prayer. He was a good fel- low and a candidate for the ministry, and such diffused and capable praying I never heard. By this time the epnceinon were beyin- ning to see through the ruse. He was pray- ing against time while the missing man was being hunted up and brought in to vote. But there was nothing to be done—there was no provision for calling * man to order on devo- tional exercises, S80 he prayed on—he prayed for the society, for the university, for the gov- ernment, for the heathen; he put a complete supphcatory belt about the earth; he prayed, in fact, until there came a light tap at the door and the sergeant-at-arms opened it to ad- mit the missing man, guarded by the fellows who had gone to find him. We got our man in | 4s president, and by my watch that fellow (we call him the deacon now) had prayed thirty- seven minutes,” NEWFOU. toe DLAND ‘DIGNANT, The People Will Appeal to the United | States if Necessary. A meeting, called by the high sheriff, to | protest against the Anglo-French modus vi- vendi regarding the lobster fisheries, was held in St. Johns, N.F., yesterday. Several thou- sand were in attendance and the meeting was the largest ever held there. Strong resolutions were proposed by leading citizens censuring and denouncing French encroachments on the territorial and maritime rights of Newfound- land. ‘The stars and stripes were displayed promi- nently at the demonstration and the speakers advocated an appeal to the United States in case England would not protect the rights of her colony. Similar meetings have been held at Harbor Grace, Little Bay, Burin and other principal places on the island, Great excite- ment prevails, Mrs. Harrison’s Day at Asheville. Mrs. Harrison and party arrived at Asheville, N. C., from Chattanooga at 12:30 a.m. yester- day and remained in their private car till morn- ing, as accommodations could not be furnished at the hotels on account of the great crowd visiting there. Manager Steele of the Battery Park Hotel tendered the hospitalities of his house during the day. At 10 o'clock a commit- tee of citizens took the party in carriages for a two hours’ drive. At 12 o'clock lunch was served the guests and committee at the Bat- tery Park. The party left at 2 o'clock over the Richmond a 8 Denville road for Washing- ton, They were enthusiastic over the beauties of Asheville, and Mrs, Harrison told the Asso- ciated Press representative thut she intended sending the President here this summer. wate dads acl ver At the Play. From the New York Presa, ‘They sat anxiously awaiting the rise of the curtain, The play was one of those melo- dramas that cause the hair to stand on its hind legs and stay there. Finally the music died away and the curtain rolled softiy and smoothly up. The stage showed a winter scene, a woman dying hungry in a snow drift. “Oh, this is terrible!” sighed the young lady, It is warmer on the stage than ’tis here,” said the young man, ‘and at the present mo- ment the supes are arranging a summer scene on the back of the ep be with beautiful paper roses growing out of a! agey door mats painted green to look like grass,” “But she seems to be starving.” “She isn't though.

He was on the steamer coming home after the capture of Riel and there were twenty or thirty pouches and bales of furs on board, valued at thousands of dollars, two bil- lia@ tables, guns, saddles and household ef- fects, which were looted by the troops, Very few of the men there were who had not all the furs they wanted, and buffalo robes, otter and beaver were a drug on the market for some time after. When the commission reopens next week all this will be established, ‘The defense, it is understood, are — to adopt new tactics, and will claim that Sen. Middleton merely followed the precedent laid down by the rebellion of 1837-8, when the im- perial troops looted the poor French-Canadian farmers of lower Canada of every article of value they possessed. If this argument is urged the French members say they will raise the question of “rebellion losses,” which their predecessors successfully did after the former rebellion, and which roused the ire of the English so much that they stoned and hooted the governor general and finished by setting fire to the parliament buildings in Montreal, scsarmaabaan ae SISTER LEO IS DEAD, Her Night Flight From Villa Maria Con- vent Results Fatally. The sisters at the Villa Maria convent talked more freely yesterday about the attempted es- cape of one of their number from the institu- tion, It appears that Sister Leo came to the convent six months ago from the parish of the Church of the Gesu, Philadelphia, and took the white veil. Since then she has been one of the most devoted of the order. A week ago she was stricken with the grip and a day or 80 later her brain, it is said, became affected. It was while laboring under a hallucination that she leaped from the window and attempted to escape, Dr.John R. McClurg, the attending physician, substantiates the story told by the sisters at the convent. At 1 o'clock yesterday Sister Leo died of paralysis of the heart, Her death was entirely unexpected and was caused by the exposure. oo SHERIFF FLACK RESIGNS, The Redoubtable Tammany Chief Finally Bows to Public Clamor, Sheriff Fiack’s resignation has been received by Gov. Hill. The sheriff, his son Will and Referee Joseph Meeks were found guilty Sat- urday of conspiracy to procure a fraudulent divorce and are now awaiting sentence, which, it is believed, will be imposed on Friday, In the meantime the attorney general on Monday sent to Gov. Hill a letter preferring charges against Flack and asking that he be summoned to show cause why he should not be ousted from office, Flack, it is said, would not resign, but intended to fight it out. The grand jury's sweeping arraignment of the management of the office, however, with the general deplorable position in which Tammany chiefs have been put by the late investigation, it is believed, in- duced the sheriff to give way to the public clamor and step down and out. eee North Dakota Destitution. The board of county commissioners of Ramsey county, N.D., estimates there are 1,200 people who will require tobe furnished the necessaries of life until July 1, 1890, In addition to these there are many people who have food for themselves, but have no means of buying feed for their horses and cattle, and will be un- able to carry their stock or put in their crop without aid, ¢ T.

Ican drink any quantity of it; it never makes my head ache. Iam not sure if I have any digestion; I have never had any evidence of it.

A special to the New York World from Co- lumbia, 8.C., says: Unusual interest is mani- fested in the Farmers’ Association state conven- tion which meets thore today. The farmers ued a manifesto several weeks ago charging | that the state was now being governed by an “aristocratic oligarchy” and calling this con- vention, which is to nominate a candidate for the state offices from governor down, to be put in the field for ratification or rejection by the next democratic state convention, The mani- festo contained the most serious charges against the state government and the demo- eratic party, corruption and rings being freely referred to. ecial reference was made to the fre¢ igs, which are attributed Sixty counties will be represented in the convention by about 360 delegates. Five counties refuse to have anything to do with the convention, The extremists wish to nominate Capt. Ben Tillman for governor. The con- servative wing believe in awaiting the action of the regular state convention, while it is hardly probable that the ‘Tillmanites will have the numerical strength to control the convention, and it is believed that the effort to make nomi- nations will fail. soo —____ The Count Fined $20. Count de Montercole, the little Italian with the high-sounding name who was arrested Monday in Philadelphia for distributing defam- atory handbills on the streets, was up fora hearing yesterday. The circular was devoted to viliifying the character of his wife, formerly Miss Virginia Knox of Pittsburg, a wealthy heiress whom he married several years ago and who left him because she discovered that his story of a castle in Italy, the home of his noble ancestors, was a myth, ‘Counsel for the count said his full name was Giuse; Carusi, Count de Montercole, and that he lived at 757 South 8th street. When questioned as to his right to the title the count exhibited a French paesport in which his full title was given, and the little man’s eves sparkled and his small chest swelled with pride when the magistrate remarked that it appeared straight. Counsel for the count said it was psiacemefd to bring his marital troubles into court and he was simply tried for violating a city ordinance in distributing cir- culars, He was fined €20 and held to keep the peace. Counsel for the count made « long speech, in which he claimed that his client was not a bogus count and that he was all that he claimed. —_—+-e0-—___.. He’s Only Gone Before.
