Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, as Mrs. Adelaide Will!ams, colored, who lives near Balley’s Cross Roads, in Fairfax coun- ty. Virginia, was pessing through a ravine near Barcroft's mill, on her way to see her brother, Ashton Williams, who lives about a half a mile from her home, to pay him some money, she was met in the road by a heavily built white man, who seized her by the throat, drew a razor and de- manded her money, and threatened to cut her throat !f h's aemand was not complied with. Mrs. Williams had that day had her pension check cashed, and had $25 of the sum with her. This she handed the man, and, releasing her, ke ran into the woods and disappeared, taking a course toward Alexandria. Mrs. Williams ran on to her brother’s house, and, telling him what occurred he at once started in pur- suit of the robber. After sccuring the woods for some t'me he gave up the search, and, going to Falls Church, reported the facts to police head- quarters in this city and Alexandria. The man fs described as being smooth-faced, thick-set and shurt in stature, we'ghing about 160 pounds, and wore a dark slouch hat and a light summer suit much worn. THE BUCKEYE STATE Democratic Perplexities in Fusing With the Populist. BRYAN THINKS HE HAS A CHANCE Sound Money Sentiment Growing in Colleges and Other Institutions. BET ON SEs AW: LSS U2 Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 24.—Chair- man McConville of the democratic state executive ccmmittee has not yet an- nounced his colleagues on the committee, ard, so far as is known, he is conducting the campaign alone. Many democrats are expressing dissatisfaction at this, and de- clare that this Fabian policy is losing the party votes every day. Mr. McConville promises each week that he will announce his committee “next week.” The trouble seems to be in arranging for representation of the populists on the committee. The fusion has brought with it many perplexi- ties, the solution of which falls to the chairman of the state committee. At the Trepubsican state executive committee head- quarters they affect to believe that Chair- man McConville has chosen his committee and it is hard at work on a still hunt to capture the state. If the democrats are doing much through the state committee, it is certainly not being done at the head- quarters here. Not to exceed four clerks hav2 been employed about these quarters at any time. Chairman McConvilie himself spends most of his time at the national headquarters at Chicago, and the work here seems to be for the most part in charge of Col. W. A. Taylor. Claim as to the Western Reserve. Col. Taylor has been giving out some claims that have annoyed the republicans exceedingly. Ordinarily they would be set down as unwarranted, but in this year of uncertainties they are not to be so dis- missed. He claims to have received reports from Lake county to the effect that the ag- gregate membership of free silver clubs in that ccunty is over 1,70. That is three times the number of votes that Col. Taylor received in that county four years ago, when he came within less than 1.100 votes of carrying the state. If such a change has actually been made there, in the heart of the western reserve, the stronghold of the republicans in this state, it means trouble for the preublicans this fall. It should be stated, however, that Col. Taylor is the Col. Sellers of Ohio politics. But there are reports from other sources to the effect that the free silver sentiment is quite strong all through the western reserve, especially among the farmers. Bryan Thinks He Has a Chance. ‘The announcement that Mr. Bryan will spend a part of the last week of the cam- paign in Ohio is indication to the republi- cans that he really thinks he has a chance to carry this state ard that Chairman Jenes cf the national comm'ttee shares that view with him. Of course the republicans do not concede that there is a possibility of this, and, indeed, if the republicans cannot carry Ohio it will hardly be possible for them to carry any state. Senator Teller is also nere this week speaking for free sil- ver, and other prominent advocates of free coinage are promised before the campaign is erded. The state committee of the national or sound money democracy announces the opening of their state campaign here next Tuesday evening. The program has not yet been published, but Executive Chair- men Jemes Caren says it will be without ostentation. Probably only local speakers will be present. The committee does not expect to do a great deal of work. Of course it is without funds to carry on an active campaign in all of the state, but many important meetings will be held un- der its auspices, tu be addressed by dem- ccrats who would net speak even for so.rd money under republican auspices. Colleges for Sound Money. A sound money movement is now spring- ing up in this state among the colleg2s and other institutions that rest upon en- dowments and have fixed incomes. The managers of these concerns sze, of cours», that their incomes will be cut in two by such a change in the money standard as is proposed by the democrats. Most cf these institutions are religious in character and the influence is Itkely to flow out through the churches they represent to many thou- sand voters. In the last week two of the professors of the Ohio Wesleya1 Univer- sity at Delaware, one of the largest edu- cational institutions of the Methodists in the west, have offered their services to the republican state committee for work on the stump. Locally, at least, there is noticeable a subsidence of free silver agitation. The democratic committee has secured a vacant store room on the principal street here, in yhich is being conducted a free silver school.” At first great crowds hung around the school, and the talkers were so many and so loud that the police were ap- pealed to by neighboring merchanis to make the people “move on.” But now the ercwds are small and quiet. The free sil- ver leaders say this is due to the action of the railways and other large employers in forcing their employes to support the single gold standard. They say it is risking his job for an employe to take part in a silver meeting. They will vote for free silver, however, because they can do it and not let their employers know it. It seems to be a fact that a large majority of the railway men who are now employed are for sound money, no matter what the cause of it is. When J. Twin Brooks, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines, addressed the Railway Employes’ Sound Money Club of this city a week ago, 2,100 railway smployes march- ed from the depot to the board of trade building to hear him, and the speaker was most enthusiastically received by them. Fear as to Cleveland. Many of the free silver advocates here are now saying that the issue is no longer free coinage alone, but that the question of whether capital shall dictate how labor shall vote has come to be paramount in the election. This matter is being urged with great effect in the city of Cleveland, where, on account of two bad strikes early in the summer, which resulted in calling out the state militia, and some bloodshed, the la- boring men are particularly wrought up. It is feared by some republicans that the city of Cleveland will be carried by the democrats as the result. If so, this will be a great loss to the republicans, as the city is usually good for a republican plurality of about 7,000. The city of Cincinnati is sure to give a greatly increased republican plurality. This is due to its enormous Ger- man voting population. Last year Hamil- ton county gave a republican plurality of over 2,000. Good authority puts the vlu- rality this year at over 35,000. Castoria For Infants and Children.

The Charge to Be Pushed by the Au- thorities—Other Local Notes in Brief. The six hundred and ninety dollars of which Joh: Ponder, said to be an ex- Washington police officer, claimed to have been robbed in a house of ill-repute, was found secreted in a lot of cartrijges in the house of Harry Simpson, who, it was al- leged, took them from the person of Ponder and who was held for the grand jury by Mayor Thompson in the police court. But little credence was given to the ment that so large a sum of money had been stolen, but wien Simpson s house was searched six one hundred dollar bills and the balance in other denominations was found as stated, in unloaded shells for a breech-loading gun—a hundred dollar bill in each shell. The matter came up for trial in the po- lice court last nizht. In the course of t! trial Ponder stated that Simpson had ask- ed him to give him (Simpson) the money for safe keeping, bat beyond this he could say nothing, as he was evidently still drunk. Messrs. E. B. Taylor and John Green represented Simpson, and Ewald and Com- monwealth’s Attorney Marbury prosecuted the case. Mcst of the information in regard to the matter was gotten from Jos. Ewald, who turned state's evidence. He stated that he and Simpscn were with Ponder when Simpsen suggested that they lay fer him and “do” him, put this plan was abandon- ed and tkey carried Ponder to Colross, on the cutskirts of tne city, where they re- lieved him of his money. Several witnesses corroborated the fact that Simpson and Ewald were together at the time. All the evidence being heard Mayor Thompson decided to hold Simpson for the grand jury, and Ewald as a witness, the latter being placed under $4) bonds to appear before the grand jury. Simpson made no statement. Later Simpson was released on $1,000) bond for his appearance, his uncle, Mr. F. Simpson, being his svrety. The woman, Lillie North, who kept the house in which Simpson and Ewald fcund Ponder, was fined % for keeping a house of ill fame, and the inmates sent to the workhouse for ninety days each. The case has caused a great deal of talk In police court circles, as Ponder has acted very curiously in the matter. Captain Webster stated to The Star reporter that Ponder had stated to the poii hen he applied for the warrant that he had been robbed of the money, and abused the police rovndly. When the matter came up for trial Ponder stated that he gave the money to Simpson for safe keeping, and to all further questions he was as dumb as an oyster. His behavior. is considered as peculiar, to say the least. Ponder is lock- ed up at the station house until he 2an give bail in the sum of $500 for his cppearance as a witness before tie grand jury, he being a non-resident. He has employed Mr. Charies Berdheim to help him cut. The $690 found by the police will be held as evidence against Simpso». Ponder, for some unknown reason, does not seem dis- posed to prosecute the ¢: further, though the authorities will do so. In the Police Court. The docket before Mayor Thompson in the police court this morning was a light one. The cases tried were as follows: John Rogers, charged with indecent con- duct, fined $5 or twenty days on the chain gang. Emma Redman, charged with lunacy, was committed for examination. Frankie Fol- som, for keeping a house of ill-fame, fined $50. Bertie Stokes, vagrancy, house of ill- fame inmate, ninety days in work house. Ernest Travers, charged with stealing a gold watch, case continued until tonight. The police last night “pulled” the house of ill-fame kept by Frankie Folsom, in the White Chapel district. As stated above, the proprietress was fined $), and the in- mates sent to the work house. Rack Track Gambling. It seems evident that Gov. O’Ferrall and his corps of officers, both state and county, are unable to cope with the gambling mat- ters in Alexandria county, and the running ef a beok at the race track. When ihe 2 o'clock electric train from Washington yesterday stopped at the Driving Park (St. Asaph track) fully 200 men, young and old, of all sorts, kinds and descriptions, got off and made their way across the lawn to the pool room. Theological Seminary Open: ‘The Virginia Theological Seminary, wnich is located on the hills just west of the city, opened another session yesterday, with a larger number of students enrolled than for years past. There will be twelve students in the senior class, thirteen in the middie class, and between eighteen and twenty in the junior. All the members of the faculty have returned, and lectures will be begun on Monday. ‘The grounds and buildings have been put in excellent order by Mr. Jos. Wilmer, the new proctor, and everything is in nice running order. This will probably be the most prospercus year in the life of the seminary 80 far. Held a Conference. Mr. Joseph E. Willard of Fairfax Court House, John F. Rixey, candidate for Con- gress from this, the eighth, district, and Mr. Leonard Marbury, chairman of the district committee, yesterday held a con- ference in this city, and discussed mat- ters relative to the canvass.

Henry Perry, colored, was placed under arrest by Detective Hartigan this morning and locked up at the sixth precinct station on suspicion of murderously assaulting Mr. Frederick Emrich at an early hour Sunday merning last or of being concerned in that daring attempt at highy.ay robbery. Perry was in the employ of the Emrich Beef Company up to about a year ago, and also worked for tne company for about a week in August last. He was, therefore, familiar with the custom and movements of Mr. Emrich in making the weekly collections from the branch stores every Saturday night. Shortly after the shooting of Mr. Emrich three colored men were seen run- nirg through Knox’s alley. The police have a witness who declares ihat Perry was one of the men mentioned. Another of the tr’ it is thought, is detained at the sixth pre cinct station. When Perry was arrested he declared to the policeman that he had rever been in the empley of the Emrich Beef Gompany. It is the belief of those who have been working cn the case that the man who did the shooting is one of the number already under arrest. A brother ¢f Mr. Emrich has offered a re- \.erd of $50 for any infcrmatior tending to establish the identity of the guilty party, and an additional $50 for the arrest of the man. The injured man continues to improve steadily. He is now out of danger, and an operation to remove the bullet in his neck will probably be attempted next week. pa ess $25 oak parlor cabinets for $13 at Moses’ furniture sale.—Advt.

GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS WORK Bryan to Help Him to Be Nomi- nated for Governor. WHAT HE EXPECTS TO DO Oui. i Speciag Digpgich to The Evening Star. BOSTON, Mass., September 24.—On Sat- urday of this week comes the culmination of the democratic fight for supremacy in Massachusetts. On that day is the demo- cratic state convention in this city, and no convention that the party has ever held in this state has been watched so closely. Unless all signs fail, the state convention will be an 18-karat imitation of the na- tional convention at Chicago. That is to say, all precedents as to organization end parliamentary procedure will be thrown to” the winds. It will be Chicago all ovcr again, with George Fred Williams as the Willlam J. Bryan of the occasion. Williams has won his fight, of that there is now no question. He has gone backward and forward over the state, speaking in city and hamlet alike. Every collection of houses that will send delegates to the state convention has been visited either by him- self or his agents. No town has deen too unimportant to be included in this political pilgrimage. Williams has made it a per- sonal fight. His speeches have been filled with personal pronouns. He has put Will- jams first and silver second. He has de- manded the nomination for governor; de- manded it boldly and in the strongest lan- guage. Bryan to Help Williams. Not only that, but Bryan himself is to demand it for him. Candidate Bryan will openly espouse the cause of the would-be candidate Williams. Bryan is to come to Boston purposely to do this. It has been all very shrewdly arranged by Williams. On Saturday comes the convention that is to nominate the candidate for governor. On Friday night comes Mr. Bryan. A pro- gram has been laid out that will make the names of Bryan and Wiliiams ore and in- separable in the democratic mind in Massa- chusetts. On Friday even:ng Mr. Bryan is to speak in Music Hall in this city. At this meeting there will be present, by special in- Vitation and in prominent seats, nearly atl the delegates to the convention that is to convene on the morrow. Addressing himself to ‘those delegates, Mr. Bryan will ask, will demand, the nom!- nation of his friend, George Fred Williams. for governor. Then Mr. Arthur Sewall, the dem}:ratic candidate for Vice President. wiil be summoned from his Maine home to appear upon the platform of Music Hall, and make the same request of the demo- crats of Massachusetts. Mr. Bryan will then go to the balcony of the Revere House and make a speech to as many people as can gather about that historic old hotel. Here atso Mr. Williams’ nomination for governor will be mentioned. Stil a third speech will be made that same evening by Mr. Bryan from the stage of the Bowdoin Square Theater, where he will speak for five minutes between the acts of a nauti- cal piay, and for a third time wave the banner of Mr. Williams. Mr. Bryan will then be taken to spend the mght at Mr. Williams’ home at Ded- ham, just outside the city, and in the morn- ing will be brought i the convention hall at the proper time by Mr. Williams. Ly that time the two will be so thoroughly associated together that a vote against Williams for governor in the convention will be considered as a d-rect insult to Mr. Bryan, the democratic nominee for Pres: dent. At least, this is the hope and e pectation of Mr. Williams’ friends. The 0; ition’s Actions, What will be the action of the anti-W, iams men in the convention is a mysiers They will be in a minority as far as mem- bers are concerned, but in their ranks w.il be men who have led the party in the past. In their fight to prevent the nominz tion of Williams they have been badiy handicapped by the difficulty candidate to oppose him. To make fight against Willams was an undertak so unprofitable and so thankless as not to appeal to any one of prominence. For weeks a search has been carried on for available and, above all, a willing cand date. Pressure was brought to bear upon Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Ham- lin to make the fight. Hamlin is against Williams, publicly and openly, and took a prominent part in the convention of the gold democrats that sent delegates to In- dianapolis. But Hamlin refused. He wants to run for governor, but not this year. He saw that it would be a hard fight, w:th nothing gained, even if he should succeed in securing the nomination, as the repula can candidate for governor this year in Massachusetts will have anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 majority. Ex-Congressmen O'Neil and Everett were besought, bu: in vain. Ex-mayors of Bo: ton, prominent democratic manufacturers, ieading lawyers, all were asked to become the candidate of the Russell and goid wing of the democracy. But one by one they rm fused. The excuses were different, but the meat of the reply was the same. And so the matter stands. No candidate has yet been Gecided upon by those hostile to Wiil- iams. The whole state has been canvassed and no man has been found to their liking who will consent to make a martyr of him- self. To Turn Out the State Committec. With no formal candidaze agains: him and making a personal campaign that has been thorough and al Williams has a majority of the state convention. Having secured this, he does not intend to be con- tent with simply nominating himself. His participation in the Chicago convention has taught him a new move in the way of conventions. He is soing to have the staic convention turn up lis Gose ac the demo- cratic state commit as the national convention turned up nos at the demo- cratic national comm The state com- in finding a the mittee is against Williams by a good ma- jority. Several test fights have been imade in the committee this summer, and ull were decided against Wiliams. In this state the state committee has’always had the privilege of choosing the officers of the state convention, and no ebjec has ever been offered to the persons thus se- lected. But Williams proposes to make a new precedent. The state committee has se- lected the officers for the state convention in accordance with its custom. But these officers will not be allowed to serve. Wil- Hams will have the convention vote them down and put in a list of his own. An- other plan that he has is to turn out the present state committee, on the ground that they are not real democrats, as they have refused to ratify the Chicago plat- form, and put in their place a committee made up of men who are his friends and upon whom he can rely. ‘A fusion between the democrats and pop- ulists is another thing that he will carry out if he can. In return for the populists nominating him for governor he has prom- ised to give them one of the eilectors-at- large on the democratic ticket. He has picked out this man, and he is Henry Winn of Malden, who has been mayor of that city on a reform ticket, and is one of the best-known populists in the state. Bitter Fight Expected. With all these propositions to force through the convention, the Williams men will have their hands very full. That Mr. Williams can carry through his own nomi- nation there is no doubt. But it will be a different matter when he asks the conven- tion to follow him on the other questions. Not all the men who will vote for him for governor will support hima to the extent he desires. They will not help him to depose the present leaders of the party from the state committee, to insult the committee ‘by refusing to accept the'r choice for the officers of the convention or-consent to be hitched up in double harness with the pop- ulists. Upon these questions there will be bitter fights, and even the presence in the convention hall of the party's nominee for the presidency will not prevent the most wranglirg and noisy state convention that the democrats of Massachusetts ever held.

The Tr-asury Department has received, through the Spanish minister here, infor- mation to the effect that a vessel named Unique, said to have been built in Can- ada, is now in the Mississippe river bound south, and is suspected of having on board a cargo of arms and ammunition for the Cuban insurgents. The government officers at Pascagoula, Miss., have been instructed to keep < lookout for the suspected vessel and to detain her if she is found to have arms and ammunition on board. The tug Dauntless, which is supposed to have assisted in making a number of suc- cessful deliveries of arms and other muni- tions of war on the Island of Cuba, and against which libel proceedings are now pending, is at present at anchor in the harbor of Brunswick, Ga., with a United States officer on board. She has recently been suspected of making preparations to sive the officers the slip, and hence the pre- caution of keeping an officer on board. A bond for her release is now being consid- ered by the treasury officers. Philadelphia, York city; E. A. Island; Jas. R. ; Jacob Mueller, APENTA” THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER.

Steamship John Sylweste; In the matter of the libels recently filed against the steamer John Sylvester by tradesmen, crew and others, the Port Steamboat Company of Je cuy, N. J., owrer: of 69-72 ef the boat, today filed an- swers to the claims made. A great crowd of those who heve filed claims against the vessel, which was running between this city and Colonial Beach, Va., were present in court, but Judge Cox continued the case until tomorrow. The Post Steamboat Company, througk Attorneys Conrad H. Syme and Charles H. Luckett, say that the remaining 3-72ds of the bi are owned by Mary Minnagh, or her husband, George Minnagh, of New Jer- sey, the Post Company being the manag- ing owners. They deny that the steamer is foreign to this port, explaining that it was chartered to the Chesapeake and Po- tomac Steamboat Company, a West Vir- ginia corporation, but doing business here, for the term from May 20, 1896, to Septem- ber 19, 1806. Robt. S. Fletcher, they is the general manager of the West Vir- ginia company, Wm. Oscar Roome being a director and treasurer, and the owners of the boat assert that the Chesapeake and Potoma: Steamboat Company and those leasing from them had no authority to pledge the credit of the boat. Therefore they cortend that the steamer is not Mabie for the claims filed against :t. eI Raised Silver Certificates. The Treasury Department is informed that $2 certificates bearing the portrait of Windom, which have been raised to $10 certificates, are being circulated through- out Ohio and western Pennsylvania by man on a bicycle. The authorities have been after him for several weeks, but 80 far have been unable to catch him.
