Kass Crry, Mo., Jan, 7.—A special dispatch from Arkalon, Kan., to the Journal says: Forty as determined and desperate men as can be found on the border and armed to the teeth are barricaded behind the walls of the court house at Springfield. Forty soldiers, equally as de- termined, are trying to dislodge them and ar- rest them. A number of soldiets are guarding three of the murderous mob arrested yesterday and are under orders to shoot them before they are surrendered to their companions in crime, who will probably endeavor to releaso the atany moment. ‘The soldicrs are stili guarding the house of Judge Botkin from the attack of euemies who are bent upon taking his life. Such was the situation last night nt the scene of the atrocious killing of Sheriff Dunn Tues- day. At 2:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon Adjt. Gen. Roberta reached there with seventy-five troops. In the afternoon Gen. Roberts is to assist the only constituted authorities in the execution of the law. He is not here, he says, to take anybody's part on any side. ‘At Mine- sola word was reccived that the Woodsdale People had taken possession of the court house At springfield and that Jadge Botkin was at Arkalon awaiting reinforcements to help him open court. At Mead it was found that Botkin had asked that town for help, chietly in the way of arms. At Arkalon Judge Botkin and his followers were awaiting thearrival of tho train having on beard the body of Sheriff Duun. All were armed wita Winchesters. Judge Botkin bim- self carried a big six-shooter in his cartridge beltand many others were similarly armed. Dotkin's first speech to Adjutant General Kob- erts was that be wanted arms. fle would rather have fifty armed and mounted deputies than ail the militiamen in Kansas.

Conunsus, Onto, Jan. 7.—A man claiming to be the lost Charley Ross called at Superinten- dent of Police Murphy's office yesterday morn- ing. The visitor was about five feet eight or ten inches high, dark complexioned, dark- brown hair neatly cut, dark mustache and a beard of several days’ growth, black eyes, twenty-five years old and clothing much the worse for wear. He wanted to talk to the chief and was very reluctant to talk to newspaper men, but constant questioning drew fortl story. He wanted police protection, which was assured lim by the superinteddent.’ Briefly he said: “Tam the identical Charley Ross stolen from Philadelphia vo many years ago. The first thing remember was when I was about four yenrsof ageand was then standing at the corner of South Union and Stevens streets, Nashville, with E.H. Walpole and wife, whom I was ever taught to believe were my father and ‘They live at 84 Stevens street. Between that time and when I was about sixteen I gravitated between Walpole’s and a Mrs. Faley's, who was said to be my aunt. I worked at Houghton's harness store, but not liking it learned the tinner’s trade.’ I firat learned that Iwas Charley Ross when about twelve yeurs old. A song had Leen written on the abduction, and one evening a number were singing it, when one of them turned to me and said: ‘Idon't suppose you know that you are Charley Ross, do you’ “It made no impression upon meat the time, and I drifted away from Nashville, going to Chicago, Kansas City and other places, finally bringing up at Duquesne, nL. “The people there thought I was s railroad detective. ‘his happened also at Cairo and Paducah, Between MeKinzie and Nashville (Lwas going back) two men were on the train, ‘hen one of them looked at me and then said to the other: ‘He is a brave man, and if he ever reaches his futher there isa great future before him.’ began then to think, and am now sntiefied fam Charley Ross, and when f get to Pbilasielphia I can prove it in two bours. There are men in this city who can identify me, but Leannot give their names, but some aro detectives.” He goes under the name of Walpole, ae LAWRENCE IRVING'S RASH ACT, mediate Danger of Death From His Platol Shot. Loxpox, Jan. 7.—Telegrams received here from Belfast this morning say that Lawrence Irving, the second son of Henry Irving, the ‘actor, who accidentally or purposely shot him- eclf yesterday evening after attending the re- bearsal of “The Merchant of Venice,” by Ben- son's Shakspeare Touring Company, in which lay young Irving played the part of Lon Fi progressing favorably. ‘Ihe doctore in at: fendance upon the wounded man held a long consultation thie morning and discussed the patient's chances of life. At the termiuation of Their deliberations they announced that there was no immediate danger, but that tho pationt mast be kept quiet and away from all visitors likeiy to put irritating questions to him. ‘The bullet, waich is jadged to have peno- trated te apex of the lung, has been probed for. bet up to the, present has not been accu- rately looted. It is concluded that the leaden is lodged in the muscles of the back. The charitable opinion formed of the case is that the young actor, who is most ambitious and desirous of succeeding in bis profession, hus overworked himeelf, and that he is conse- quently suffering from nervous prostration. Young Lawronco seemed more cheerful than usual after the rehearsal referred to, and no- body imagined for a moment that anything was wrong with him until Mr. Hiphisley, a brother actor, heard the of a revolver in a room of the Rete were Ging wee stopping ocou- iod by Young Irving. Pivueh Hiphisley beret open the door of hie comrade’s room he found him lying, writhing with agony, across the bed, with blood stream- ing from a wound in his right breast. ‘oung Irving, who has traveled a great deal in Iusela, bas been in the abit of carrying « revolver and'is said by Mr. Benson, the man- ager of the theatrical company in’ which he holds # position, to have been absent-minded Zpeeutly while onguged tn his theatrical studies, Honee it is said that the pistol may have been discharged accidentally. ‘Much comment is made upon Ne Im folsey in ON GARZA’S TRACK. His Capture Claimed to Be a Matter of a Few Hoars, Sr. Lovis, Mo., Jan. 7.—A special from Laredo, Texas, to the Republic says: A tele- gram received here late last evening from Gen. Reyes, commander of the Mexican troops now operating on the border aguinst the Garza evolutionists, states that a considerable engagement took ee Tuesday even- between the United States, —— and band of Garza’s troops at tl La Joba crossing on the Rio Grande. in which the Garza men were put to flight, leaving a number of horses and arms in possession of the United States forces. The fight took place on | the bank of the river and two of the bandits jumped into the river to make their escape, One of them was shot and the other taken prisoner by Mexican troops, who bad moved | along the river front on the Mexican side, in connection with the United States forces A later telegram from Gen.

Catcado, Jun. %.—Two men—Chas. Albright, ® printer, and H. H. Hobart, who is somewhat Napoleonic in his financial methods—are under arrest at the central station charged with com- city in a very clever {swindle by which the uking firm of W, G. Press & Co., was vie- timized to the extent of several thousand dollars. Two other men, Theodore Wilmot, who is euppoted to be in New Hampshire, and Frank C. Evans are wanted, and Lawyer Han- nah and P. W. McWhorter, a financial agent, who were innocent parties to one of the trans- actions, are co-operating with tho polico to efiect their arrest aud extradition for the crime of forgery. September 22 last P. W. McWhorter called on W. G. Press & Co. and stated that be had « client who wished to borrow €4,000 on a house on West Washington street worth 12,000 and owned by a friend of bis. ‘The client had rep- resented to Mr, McWhorter that he had a first mortgage for $5,000 on the property. Mr. McWhorter repeated this to Mr. Press, and the client was sufficiently magnanimous to volun- teer the first mortgage as security for the second mortgage. 5 SENATOR DAVID B. HILL. ‘The Ex-Governor of New York Takes the ‘Oath as Senator. ‘The cause of much worriment has been re- day when Congress convened the one question has been “When will Hill arrive?” This was asked by democrats and republicans. The Cleveland democrats wanted to get him out of the state, the Hill demo- crats were desirous of showing their candidate to the nation, while the republicans were anxious to have the ex-governor where his movements could be watched by some of their shrewdest men. Hill arrived in the city yesterday evening, but was not easily visible to the naked oye until this morning. He was at the Capital in good season, staying in the democratic clonk room until after Chaplain Batler's prayer. Hie was not lonely, though. A dozen democratic Senators surrounded bim and did their utmost to at once make bim feel comfortable and themselves solid. SOMETHING GorNG To HATPER. In the Senate champer it was evident that something of more than ordinary interest was about to happen. The galleries were occupied to a surprising extent, alarge proportion of the visitors being of the gentler ain, bho would naturally be interested in a good-looking bach- elor. A contrast was apparent on the floor. On the republican side thero was silence and an air that was, intentionally or otherw i fonereal. Perhaps the republican caimuoss wns noted the more because of the noise and jubi- n just across the main airle. There were | assembied about fifty members of the House | of Reprosentatives, all democrats, and the big | majority of them from the southern and south- western states. They seemed to be having e very pleasant time. SEATED BEHIND FLOWER, No one pid any particular attention to the reading of the journal, for just as the recital of Yesterday's doings commenced the ex-governor | came cut of the cloak room and took his seat bebind a great combination of verdure and roves. A fow of the waiting Representatives Started to greet hima, but as they moved Sen- ator Hiscock walked about half way down the central aisle and raid: “Mr. President, David B. Hill, the Senator-clect from New York, is now present and will present himself to take the onth of offiee.” To this Vice President Morton bowed and re- sponded, *-Yes, sir.” ESCORTED BY SENATOR WISCOCK. Senator Hiscock then took bis colleague from behind the big bouquet of Awerican Mr. Press did not see anything ignoble in the Proposition and later on Mr. McWhorter | brought in Hannah, an attorney, to whom the | client, who was Theo. Wilmot. had appealed. | Mr. Hannah pronounced Wiimot “0. b.” and | coupled with bis was the assurance of I. H. | Hobart, who set himself up asa real estate dealer. There was really nothing else for Mr. Press to do under the circumstanccs than to let the client, Wilmot, have the loun, ‘The money Was turned over, Mr. Press taking Wilmot’ note and a second mortgage on the property, the abstract for which had beeu duly prepared by Haddock, Mallette aud Rickoords on the order of Harry Osborne. ‘The note was due December 22 last and Mr. Press still has it; he also has in his safe, it is averred, another note and mortgage, given him in return for $8,286 obtained in # ‘similar manuer. ‘Tho note is of a later date, October 24, aud bears the signature of W. W. Hender- son. Henderson has « client who had a mort- gage for $6,000 on property at Park Manor owned by Lyman H. Strong. Samuel B. Leiter and L. J. Ingersoll of Mansfield, Ohio. ‘Ihe client had loaned this amount, but_ was now in trouble and wished to borrow $3,286 on the mortgage. Henderson promised to produce his client and the note and mortgage, and did s0, and Mr. Press turned. the doctments ‘over to the firm's attorney, who examined and approved them. Hender- son declared his client to be an upright citizen and took Mr. Smith to the Langlois Furniture Company, where President Houten, or Auson, vouched for Mr. Evans. Mr. vans, accord ingly, secared the €3,286, Mr. Press keeping the note and mortgage for thirty days. Since then the Lauglois company has failed and it was just about that time that Mr. Press, on dil- igent mquiry, discovered the notes, mortgag aud trust deeds to be forgeries. Not only that, but Henderson a few days prior had been to Geo. Willams, «loan broker, and tried to play the same trick. The only difference was that the client's name was Beach and he wanted $4,000 on the very same notes, trast deeds and mortgages, Mr. Williams took the papers for the purpose of having them examined and then telegraphed Mr. Strong Almans Field, who replied with instructions to hold’ the books. When Henderson put in an appearance again he was charged with forgery, and Mr. Williams — de- clined tolet him have the papers, for the osteusi- ble reason that €25 had becn expended in their examination. Henderson offered $60 in pay- ment. Mr. Williams was obdurate. ‘hen Anderson left and sent Harry Osborne, who had ordered the abstract of Haddock, Vallette and Richards, back with $25. Still’ Mr. Williams held on to the papers, und he has them. The connection between both swindles is made by Osborne, who secured the Sturtevant abstract aud also hud Henderson's $23.

People living in the vicinity of the Cherenne river agency in South Dakota have been very much interested in the outcome of the charge of irregularities made against P. P. Palmer, the agent, G. B. Shoenfelt, his clerk, and Interpreter Benoist. It was alleged that these men were making money out of the beef contracts and in other ways, Pending an investigation into the formal complaint, which was made by Capt. Hearst, U. 8. A., acting 4s inspector of beef cattle, the agent and his clerk were suspended. Today Secretary Noble, after a thorough examination into the facts, aided by his inspector, decided that inefficiency hax been proven on the part of the agent and the clerk, and their resignations will soon be asked. ‘The Secretary some time ago ordered the disminsal of Benoist. ‘The case has attracted a good deal of atten- FIVE YEARS CONTRACTS, Opinion of the Attorney as to the Commis Sloners’ Power to Make Them, Ject to the qualifications in said proviso, ‘The attorney holds that be does not sco thet the exercise of the authority as indicated cam Tepugnant to ny other provision of law Congress in author- izing the making of contracts for five {sats intended to reserve the right to #us- Pend the operation of said coutract at the ex- piration of any one of those years by withhold- the customary appropriation. ‘Commissioners asked the question be cause the new coutract will begin neat July and no money has yet been approprinted for it The organic act prohibits the Commis- sioners from making any contract for which am. antecedent appropriation has not been made.
