Thompson of the signal corps, in regard to the military tel h line re- cently established from Fort Ringgold to Fort McIntosh, Texas. It is that they dis- play a decided tendency to use the insula- tors, and sometimes the wires, as targets in pistol practice, much to the damage to the apparatus. This highly objectionable practice is occasionally varied by exercises in lassoing the poles and pulling them to the ground, in which, it is almost needless to add, they show great expertness. “The sentiment of the more intelligent, how- ever, who have lecrned to profit by the use of the telegraph,” says Capt. Thompson, “has much abated the trouble, although, even yet, the glass insulator is a great temptation, ard, almost without exception, a fault in the line is found to be due to a broken one.” 5 — + e+ -—___ The home of Sylvester Yeagle, near Car- lisle, Ohio, was struck by Monday evening and Mrs. Yeagle and two children were killed. LOSSES MAY FOLLOW Unless Hill Bridges Over a Number of Chasms, ALL IS NOT WELL IN EITHER CAMP ARepublican May Represent Sena- tor Murphy’s District. oe EMPIRE STATE POLITICS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 24—Unless Hill carries out his idea of clubbing har- mony into the warring democratic factions in this city and Brooklyn there will be a number of congressional districts lost to the democrats. In each of the city districts there are several democratic can- didates in the field, and the districts have not large enough democratic majorities to stand this. Hiil will be here all the week, and every moment of the time that he is not making speeches in this vicinity will be devoted to patching up differences in his party. Tammany will have to give in to him and withdraw some of its congres- sional nominees, so that the Grace element of the democracy can have some of the positions. Unless this is done the Grace men will keep their men in nomination in all of the districts and jeopardize the chances of the Tammany nominees. There will be a number of changes made and some of the nominees will be shifted around into different districts, but just what these will be will’not be known for several days. One of the big congressional fights cf the state is that in the Troy district. Con- gressman Charles D. Haines has been re- nominated by the democrats and the re- publican candidate is Frank S. Black. There is more or less epposition to Haines because of his vote against the Wilson bill. At one time it locked as if he could not be renominated. Besides, he does not stand well with Senator Murphy and his follow- ers. In nominating Mr. Black the republi- cans made a regular McKane issue, A year ago there were election troubles at Troy, as there alWays are, and one of the re- publican watchers at the polls, Robert Ross, was shot and killed. The citizers of Troy rose in thelr wrath and convicted a dem- ocratic repeater, “Bat” Shea by name, of the crime, and he is now under sentence of death. ‘In this fight in behalf of the mur- dered Rass it was Mr. Black who did the greater part of the work. He is a keen young lawyer, who came to Troy about twenty years ago without a dollar that he could call his own, having just worked his way through Dartmouth College, and he now stands at the head of his profession In that section. He conducted the case against Shea and conducted it so well that Shea was convicted and all Troy rang with Black’s praises. This mekes Mr. Black a very formidable candidate, for there will be a large rumber of democratic votes cast for him by the people who think that it is time lawless election methods in Troy were ended. The republicans sre keeping the inurder of Ross before the people there, and although the district was carved out so as to be certain of a democratic major- ity yet the chances are even that a re- publican will be elected to represent the home of Senator Murphy. Mr. Traccy’s Prospects. Tracey is having a hard time in his dis- trict across the river. The Hill men do not like Tracey, although they are not antag- onizing him openly. An arrangement was made for the sake of harmony by which the anti-Hill democrats of Albany were allowed to renominate their man ‘Tracey for Congress, while the Hill men tooit the members of the state legislature. Yet Tracey 1s so thoroughly a Cleveland man that he will not receive the votes of all the Hill men, ‘The republican candidate is George N. Southwick, a hustling young fellow of thirty, who is the managing editor of the Albany Journal. He is a good talker and is making one of the most ene fights that that district has seen in years, He has challenged Tracey to numberless Joint debates, but Tracey has declined them all. The republicans are in danger, on the other hand, of losing a member from the St. Lawrence district. Here the congres- sional convention got into a deadlock and ballots were taken by the hundred until the thousand mark was reached and the delegates gave up in despair. Thereupon two republicans were nominated by peti- tion, Congressman Newton M. Curtis and Lucius Littauer of Gloversville, the latter a young man and a wealthy one, who is now a glove manufacturer and who a few years ago was rowing on a victorious Yale crew. The matter was left to the state ittee to decide and the decision was vor of Curtis. But the friends of Lit- tauer are not inclined to abide by the de- cision and declare that the fine Italian hard of Mr. Platt is visible in the pro- ceedings. If these men stand out and per- sist In voting for Littauer Curtis may be defeated, for the district is not so heavily republican that it can stand two republican candidates. The democratic nominee is Thomas R. Hossie of Gouverneur. South and West. In the Long Island district the republi- cans have named a strong candidate, and expect to win. This is Richard C. Mc- Cormick, who has been governor of Arizona and also represented that territory in Con- gress for half a dozen years. The district is democratic, but every time that Mr. Mc- Cormick has run for office down there he has cut down democratic majorities, and there is an excellent fighting chance for him to win over bis opponent, Joseph Fitch of Flushing. Out in the Rochester district there is treuble in the republican camp. There was a long and bitter fight for the nomination, which finally went to Henry C. Brewster, a wealthy carriage manufacturer. The nemination created dissatisfaction, for it was claimed that Brewster had voted for Cleveland in days gone by, and Rochester has always been strong for Blaine. There Was so much talk that It finally crystallized in the appearance of an independent re- publican candidate, Oscar T. Williams, who was beaten by Brewster at the nominating convention. Brewster's friends have made every effort to have Williams get out of the race, but his name still remains on the ticket, and Brewster will lose many votes in this way, and this may elect John D. Lyrn, the democratic candidate. All is not peace on the republican side in the Syracuse district, either. Here Con- gressman Belden was put aside very un- ceremoniously. The Hendricks faction ca ried everything before them and they nomit- nated for Congress Theodore L. Poole, who was pension agent under the Harrison ad- ministration. The Belden men do not like Poole personally and they are sore over their defeat, and this is likely to make a bad showing for the republicans on election y- Outside of New York and Brooklyn the democrats have only renominated three of their present C@ngressmen, Ryan, Tracey and Haines. Ryan’s republican opponent is Ben. L. Fairchild of Pelham Manor. The republicans have made eight renominations in that part of the state. Congressmen Lefever, Sherman, Ray, Payne, Gillett, Daniels and Hooker have all been renomi- nated and will be elected without doubt. The republicans also think that they have @ good fighting chance to win another of the Buffalo districts. This is the Lock- wood district, and this year the democratic nominee there ts Joseph E. Gavin. re- publican is Rowland B. Mahany, the ee | man who was minister to Ecuadoi who has the distinction of being est foreign minister ever sen! country to represent her interests abroad. e Buffalo democrats are badly divided by factional quarrels, and Mahany is making @ very energetic campaign. ————— Army Orders.

Found Buricd in the Woods Near Cal- verton, F er Co. Va., Last Night—Morganfleld Identified. The pouch containing the bonds and mceney stolen at the Aquia creek train rob- bery on October 1? was found in the woods near Calverton, Fauquier cpunty, Virginia, at a late hour last night. The amount of its contents would not be given. Its hiding place was revealed by Searcey, who made a full and free confession, implicating all concerned in the robbery. It is expected that another important arrest will be made today. The published reports that Searcey and the detectives had spent Monday night tu the bridge shanty near the scene of the robbery were incorrect. Searcey remained in Stafford, and, as indicated in yesterday's dispatches to The Star, confessed his par- ticipation in the robbery and agreed to point out where the vooty had been con- vealed, Yesterday morning they started for Calverton, and after a long search in the Wouds the piace was found where the spoils had been cached. ‘Those who were with him at the time were Robert A. Pinkerton of New York, superinien2éent of the great detective agency bearing that name; Commonwealth Attor- ney Seymour White of stafford county, Sergt.Charles Edrington ot Fredericksburg and ex-Sheriff Adie of Garrisonville. Searcey said in his confession that he had known Morganneld for some time: in the south and west, and met him in this city before the robbery. Morgunfield, he says, suggested the rubbery, and it was some time before Searcey would agree to it. He finally consented and they went south to Fredericksburg. There were but two men concerned in the robbery—Morganfield and Searcey. They hung around Fredericksburg for several days, staying most of the time in the woods down toward Bernard's farm, several times going into Fredericksburg. On Friday afternoon they left Fredericks- burg and walked up the railroad to Brooks’ station. At Brooks’ they waited for the train and hid behind a car. When the train stopped they jumped be- hind the tender, and so rode over to the scene of the robbery. After the fireman and engineer had been put on the embank- ment, Morganfield fixed the dynamite to the car door. He used half a stick of dyna- mite, with a cap and a fuse in the end of !t. Morganfield alone went into the car, while Searcey remained outside and fired off his pistol. They got off the engine at Arkindale crossing and came up the road until they reached a road that led down to Aquia creek at Horton's landing. Here, finding the creek In front of them, they ‘retraced their steps to the main road and started across the country to Calverton, as The Star stated at the time was likely. Most theories were based on the {dea that they crossed into Maryland. Near Calverton they buried In the woods some of the booty they had taken from the express car. The rest they divided equally. A telegram was recelvs last night at Cincinnati from Chief of Police Flannigan at Neelysville, Mo., t he recog- Augustus Morganfield, the Aquia ¢reeKk express rob- ber, as that of Jim Morgan, a gambler of tad reputation, who left that city several months ago. oft: as Depot Watchman Wright df Cumberland, Md., yesterday positively identified Morgan- field as the man whom he say with Searcey in Cumberland. =i Express Messenger Murray, wanted first to hear the man’s voice, a he says he would never forget that voice. While Mur- rey remained out in the, hall, others got Morgantield to talking.; | Murray insisted there was no doubt about it being the voice that held him up. He afferward fully iden- tified the prisoner, A Morganfield’s broken leg wil} compel the authorities to carry him to Virginia on a stretcher. The prisoner ts’ ¥ery unwilling to go. The coat recovered from Shields, the one-legged map arrested at Middietown, was identified by Murra¥ as the one worn by Morganfield at the time 6f the robbery. Shields had sold the vest and.overalis, but they have been secured for the trial in Virginia. se cated: “A Defense of Lynching.” To the Editor of The Eveving Star: A correspondent of yeurs in Hyattsville has written a letter to your valuable paper defending lynching in general, and Prince George’s county lynching in particular. It is a fine, logical article, and with your per- mission we would like to add a few thoughts in the same direction ani to point out the only flaw, and that a slight one, in the admirable communication of Mr. B. His chief and reiterated arguments are that lynching is economical and that it avoids defraudirg justice. And, first, as to ecouomy: Prince George's county, we are told, Is poor and in need of roads and schools, but ty have tried the negro the other day and punished him according to law would have cost “sume thousands of dollars,” so he was lynched. Say it would have cost $4,000, and that there were 6,000 taxpayers jn the county, then each one saved about 67 (sixty-seven) cents; and we will no doubt suon hear of the Prince Georgians rolling in wealth, building roads for the comfort of future lynching parties, and erecting schools where they will teach the young idea how to shoot—and hang—negroes. Secondly, as to carrying out justice: Prince George's “legal ju®tice is slow, cum- bersome, inefficient and would have missed (punishment) altogether.” Old fogies would say that the 6,000 taxpayers should improve thelr methods and instill spirit, vigor and energy into them, so that justice would mean justice, even at the ruinous rate of G7 cents per taxpayer and 15 cents per head; but your correspondent’s way is a vast improvement, except that, as is some- times the case, even now, we hang the wrong man. When a prisoner is tried, the jury must act upon the evidence before them; if they decide, as In Ohio the other day, that twenty years’ Imprisonment is sufficient punishment, that would seem to end the matter as far as the prisoner is concerned; but If “the people” (and it 1s to be noticed that lynchess, like the three tall- ors of Tooley street, always call them- selves’ “the .people”) insist upon a lynch- ing, why not persuade them to hang the criminal lawyer, who, by objecting to evi- dence, by delay, by change of venue, etc., has succeeded in saving the life “of the wretch unfit to lve?" If this course were pursued for a while greater benefit would follow even than by that advocated by Mr. B., and he certainly should not object to it, as he couples “lawyers and the devil” in_his letter. Fashions change in lynching as !n other things; there was a time “w¥en innocent women were lynched beéause’“‘the people” called them witches; later, men whom we now consider good werg lynched (not al- ways to the death, however}, for preach- ing liberty, because “the people” called them abolitionists; out wést nien have been lynched for horse stealing; down south for arson, for insisting upon wotiag the wrong ticket, and in one case, which seemed well authenticated, because Bil the neighbors had things stolen from ¢hem:(for it must be noted that rape is net the only crime for which colored men have been lynched, though we have been lately told so by a southern governor or bishep). Fashions having changed in the past, they change in the future, especially as lynching doesn’t stop rape; and yanks to your cor- respondent, Mr. B., and dtherg like him, we may have the millennium very soon,in which we will all go about, armed and ready to positive nuisance,calll In our mind’s eye we 4 peopl if Washington rising in their might against the five-cents-per-loaf bakers; in prophetic vision we see you, Mr. Editor, sending a reporter to “buy a gun” for the delayers of the new-old post office; Mr. B. and my- self, temporarily, regardless of grammar, will “lay for” the whisky sellers; and 80, after enacting the Kilkenny cats in this world, we will “have made ing all right for the next,” as Mr. B. says.

WORDS OF WELCOME -— ‘The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the general executive committee of the Wo- man’s Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E. Church was opened with devotional service 1t Foundry M. E. Church this morning. The churcy was brightly draped with the flags of various countries, and among the more prominent ensigns which shone out from the maze of American col- ors were those of China, Japan, India, Great Britain, Mexico and San Salvador. Above the pulpit, which was bowered in potted plants and twined round with green vines, swung the banner of the society. It was of white silk gauze, with a red crown and cross, and bore the initials of the so- clety and the single word “welcome” in gilt letters. At 9 o'clock or a litUle after, Miss Dashie! the organist, played the voluntary, an Mrs. E. B. Stevens, corresponding secre- tary to the Baltimore branch, announced hymn No. 136. This was sung standing. Psalm No. 150 followed. Mrs. M. P, Al- derman, corresponding secretary to the New England branch, was called upon for prayer. Words of Welcome. After singing of hymn No, 17, Rev. Oliver Brown, pastor of the church in which the sessions ave being held, was called to the platform and delivered the address of wel- come on behalf of ‘the congregation of Foundry. He said trac it was fitting that the pastor of the church should welcome the ladies who had honored it with their presence. It was «a honor which the church es well as their house of worship had en chesen as the place of meeting of the utive board of so great and magnificent body of wo- men. They were noble women and the representatives of a noble cause. He ex- pressed pleasure at their presence in the city, and he was glad to welcome them to the homes of his people. He had anticipat- ed their coming with pleasurable feelings. Their presence would be a blessing by quickening the zeal of the people here for the great cause which lies nearest the hearts of those devoted to Him, who died for ail. it was not the welcome that they extended to strangers, but the welcome which they extended to friends. Their names had be- come household words in distant missionary jJands and in the Christian es of Our Own country, The interests which they repre- sented were vital and momentous, and had to do with the eternal interests of unaum- bered souis. He had always felt ashamed that the birth of the present organization had not been hatled with enthusiasm. It had been antagonized. Lt had been thought that wo- men had best not enter iniv such wide and magnificent fieids of work. That was the feeling a quarter of a cen-ury ago. It was not so now. Dr. Brown told of the vast growth of the society. It had swept, he said, ike a wave of glory to the uttermost parts of the earth. It was nursed and nurtured by women. Today woman was bearing her proper share in the responst- bilities of the world. The world was coming to a realization that neither sex, color, clime nor condition should be accepted as the test of fitness of workers. All hail the coming of that most glorious day. The founders of this society. built wider and stronger than they thougnt. The Presiding Elder's Words. Rev. L, B. Wuiison, presiding elder of the shington district, was the next speaker. He welcomed the ladies to Washington on behalf of those whom he represented. He accounted it a great privilege to bid them welcome. The clty was not un: tomed inment of dis- representat from afar. arcely a weeic passe] that a convention some kind was not held here, whose It was nut strange that it should] be so, for Wash- ington possessed peculiar attractions, which a it to the claim of the convention city. He cited many of the attractions of our city. He characterized the State Depart- ment as the eye of the government, which looked out upon foreign lands. If the hand of violence should be laid upon one of their workers it was from the State Department that the hand of rescue would reacle forth. Then the speaker called attention to the sectarian attractions of Washingion. Here, he said, was the Lucy Webb Hayes Deacon- ess Home and Training School, the Metho- dist Home for the Aged, the Sibley Memo- rial Hospital and the prospect of the Amer- ican University. He styled Washington as the greatest city of the greatest land. The society hac had an humble beginaing, but Iaany great things had been cradiei in a manger. Rev, Joel Brown, pastor of Union M. E. Church, next welcomed the ladies on behalf of the Methodist Ministers’ Assoclation. Whatever faults had been charged to the character of the Methodist minister, he had never been charged with a lack of enthu- Siastic fervor. He spoke of the gallantry of the ministry toward womankind, and espec'ally of the regard which he and his broiner ministers felt for women who had consecrated themselves to the work of God. Dr. Brown complimented the ladies for their zeal, business tact, clreumspection and generalship in the conduct of their great work. The man missionary was, of course, an important factor, but the sisters could reach into the homes and hearts of heathen women as their male co-laborers could never hope to do. i was true, especially in religion, that the hand which rocked the cradle ruled the world.
