MAacox Crry, la, July 18.—(Special gram to the Brr. | —Great alarm prevails in Cerro Gordo and Worth counties over the discovery of several cases of small pox in the townships of Barton, Grafton and Bolan. Yesterday at the request of the authorities at Plymouth and Rock Falls, Dr. A. A, Nayes, of this city, visited the infested districts and reports that extra precaution jnust be at once employed or a general epldemic of the dreaded disease will ensue, In the town of Barton he found five cases, the worst a woman with four children, and although threo physicians had proviously visited the sufferer, neither vaccinated the children. Six familics were found to have been e posed in the township of Union, where no precantions whatever were taken to prevent the spread of the disease, and a similar state of affairs were found at Bolan and Grafton, within a radius of between eight and ten miles, The disease has a firm lold and as nothing has been done until now to prevent its further spread and additional cases are daily expected. The discase was introduced by A woman, a German fm- migrant, about six weeks ago, and she is said to have been afflicted when she left the steamer at New York, She has fully re- covered and stated to the visiting physician that the vessel in which she arrived, had not been quarantined, although there were sev- eral cases of small pox on board. None of he cases have resulted fatally thus far, but here and in other towns in this county extrn precautions are being employed to ward off an epidemic. FROM THE S \TE CAPITAL. Cicveland’s Order Has a Good Effect on Towa Officials. - Dis Morss, la, July 18.—[Special to the BrE|—President Cloveland's recent order requesting federal officials to abstain from political worl, is bearing some small fruit at Jeast. The Hon. Mike Miller, of Carroll, who 15 a deputy revenue collector and treasurer of the democratic state central committee, has Just resigned the latter position on accountof the order, and Simon Cassady, of this city, ks been elected in his place. Mr. Miller has been one of the most active of polit ‘herétofore, publishing a demoeratic attending democratic conventions, and sct- ting up the pins generally whenever he hada ehance, But his courage failed him in the face of the president’s manifesto, and he lias concluded to hold onto the government posi- tion even if he doesn’t get asmuch glory. Atthe time the president was issuing his decree on this subject, the democratic central convention to renominate Congressman Frederick in the Fifth district, was in session at Cedar Rapids. 1t was called to order by Revenue Collector Webster, who saw itsafely started, and then turned it over to Deputy Collector Walker, who was the permanent president, and from then on till the close it v managed and controlled by tederal officials, The order came too late to do any good in that district. THE BOLT FAILURE. The “‘independent republican revolt” in the eighth district, about which so much has been ald in democratic papers, turns out to_have een a flasco, It was understood that Major Anderson, of Fremont county, had come out as an independent candidate for congress gainst Cofonel Hepburn, at o great rally eld at Imogene. T was a studied at- Tempt to suppress all details of the meeting, but it now appears that there were but four Jrrsons prosent when Anderson assembled h T | mseif together at the appointed plice. hese were sent out to thelizhways, and by rsistent drumming they gathered tozether ‘twenty-sixpersons, to whom Anderson un- mrdened his sorrows and complaints. There s no danger of any serious republican dis- affection in the eighth district. Major An- derson has had much experience as a bolier and has been soured and em- bittered over many personal defeats he has suffered in the “last few vears. He is constantly being groomed by the democrats, and may beconie a full-fledged one before long, The new to fair grounds nrhlly ing completion, with NWNErous that are being mado will com VOl with thoe bestin the country. Now that the state owns the grounds, and all the improve- ments are to be permanent in their there is much disposition to make them and beautiful and worthy of a great state.

Sr. Louis, Mo, July 18.—A fire, which proved to be the larzest and most destructive of its kind that has ever occurred in this city, was discovered at 2 p, m. in the lumber yard of Knapp, Stout & Co,, at the corner of An- gelo street and Bremen avenue. An alarm was immediately turned in and two engines were soon on the scene. They were, how- ever, owing to poor water supply, unable to cope withthe flames, which were driven with astrong wind and soon communicated to the nearest lumber piles and were making rapid headway toward the Union stock yards. Destruction seemed for o time in- ovitable, but the wind soon shifted 10 an opposite diveetion, however, and they w aved but the lumber yards wers dam- aged, In the meantime more alarms were sentin aud twenty engines were called out, “Ilie water supply, however, was entirely in- euflicient for the emergeney, the flames leaped from pileto plle of dry lumber with incredible swiftness. ‘Tho fire was not con- fined to uny one portion of the yard for the sparks and burning splinters were carried in every direction by the wind and the whole territory of the yards, covering thirty-tive aeres of ground, seemeidl 0 be Obe mass of blazing flames, The efforts of the firewen, which “would ovidently have been fruitless if dirocted towards subduing the flawes, were from this time omployed in keeplug them from spreading, and in” this they were suceessinl, “T'he lire was allowed to burn it- self out and at the end of four bours 250,000, 000 feet of lwmber wore a total loss.

DISCOVERED IN AN OLD WALL. The Police Reticent, Bat Many Polnts of Resemblance Indicate That 1t is the Dry Goods Merchant's Body. The Stowart Rody Snateh NEW Yonk, July 15.—(Special Telogram to the Brr I'he police have since last night, it not some days previons, been in possession formation that, after a lapse of nearly cight years, a human skeleton is found which, If it does not prove on investigation to be that of"A. T. Stewart, presents a series of startling coincidents unsuipassed in the his- tory of crime. The skeloton now reposes in apauper’s grave in tho potter’s field, while the most splendid and costly mausolewm ever erected to sepulture an Awmeriean yawns emptily in the crypt of the beautiful Stewart Memorial cathedral at Garden City, Long Tsland. ‘The police authoritios say that they have sufficient evidencs to prove that the bones are not those of the millionaire, but the motive forsuch a denial, unless identiti- cation can be made beyond a shadow of a doubt, is apparent. B T'he circumstances of the robbery of Stew- art's grave and the unavailing search are well known. A reward of 820,000 was offored by Yien: Iton and the police worked day and night, The search developed these facts: (1) That the skelcton of the body would be about six feet highs (2) that somo of the teeth had been filled with gold: (3) that the body had been earried off in a sack mto which it liad been placed doubled up, with head and feet tonchings (4) it was believed that the crime had been perpetrated by a gang of river thieves who had their headquarters in the Fourth ward. Tuesduy a plumner went to the house No, 61 Rose street to put a drain pipe in the back area. The house 59 Rose street, immedintely adjoining, {sat present oceupicd as a restan- rant, but years ago, according to the police, it was_the headquarters of some of the most desperatethieves in the lowor section of the city, The plumber removed a large, heavy flag- stone and, while digging beneath, his shovel came in contact with some hard substance which it conld not penetrate, which proved to be a human skelcton, A portion of the s keleton was under the foundation of the wall which had been builton that side of the area, and which was between it and 50 Rose stre He dug under the foundation until the whole skeleton was exposed. The space cleared was not over three feet in length, and skeleton was found ubout two feet below tlagging. The skeleton was doubled up so0 that the hoad and feet touched. and every- thing about it and the position in which it was placed indicated beyond doubt that it had been shoved into its position by some one in i Rose strect. /zhien the plumber was asked how it hap- pen ed so large a skeleton was found in the which he had dug, he replied: it w25 doubled up so that the head and feet touched.” He unknowingly used some language [rhich had been " publishied about Stowart's body at the time the body was stelen. Continued inquiry since the find has elicted the fuct that the bones belonged toa man who had been about Stewart’s stature. The teeth of the skeleton had, itis learned, gold filling, like Stewart's teeth, and another “im- purtait clue also has heen recalled. When the grave was robbed the ghouls left on the ground near the vault a small shovel and lan- tern. These were subsequently identified as haviiig been purchased by a man from Sey. mour’s hardware store in Chatham street, only a short distance from Rose street on tw suc- ceeding days some months before. From the graveyard the body was traced toa room in the vicinity whienis now believed to haye been No. 59 Rose street, About the only question that seems - to be left to fix the identity of the skelcton is the question of tne filling of “the teeth, These should he examined by the dentist who did Mr. Stewart's work. e NOT A TRIEF AT HEART. Defaulting Cashier Thompson Writes a Confession of His Crime. ST Louts, July 18.—Almon B. Thompson the defauiting cashier of the Provident Suy- ings bank, wrote a full confession of his crookedness and pecnlations before he fled and nlaced it in the hands of some trusted friend, it is supposed, whom he asked to de- liver itto Thomas S. Swain, the oldest di- rector of the bank. 1t has now been decided by the directors, owing to the false rumors and wisrepresentations Incident to the fail- ure, to make its contents publie. ‘The cashier says he began to speculate with his own money some years ago, that he lost all he owned and_was in debt, that the indebted- ness was carried for him by many others, and continued to grow larger; that his creditors pressed him, and he began’ o use the bank’s money. ‘That eighteen months agolie stopped speculation, but tho sharks to whom he was indebted, khowdng his thefts from the bank, pressedliim still further and harder, and orced further drafts on the bank’s funds. He tried to pay his debts out of what he could save from his salary and he did pay off in this way. Thompson then gives in de his indebtedness to the bank, showing a total defalcation of 865,054, He closes with & sor- rowful pen picture of his disgraced condition and asserts that he is nota thief at heart and it will be his life’s work to repay. g Revived A PIONIC OF BLOOD. - Horrible Stabbing Affray in Which Three Are Killed.

During the day, Henry Brown, Thomas Heckam, Mat Rhodes and Robert Knox had guarreled several times, but they were separated each time before any serlous consequences resulted. Nothlng was thought of tho matter until after the crowd had broke| up. when George Allison, o farmer, passed by the fence and found Brown, Knox and Rhodes lying within a few feet of each other, mortally ‘wounded, Brown lived but a few minutes afterwards. His throat was cut from ear to ear and he bore, besides, several ugly gashes in different parts of his body, Knox and Rhodes were also terribly mufilated and cannot live, one witnessed the affray, but it 1s supposed that the ouarrel between the men was re- newed after the picnic and resulted as stated above.

John F, Brook, is the Holy Ghost, The followers of these two women meet at Mrs. Brook's house and worship them both, Mrs, Martin has exerted some influence that has put thiem completely in her power, and they are fanatics on the subjec One of the woman's followers Is named Jerome.

Reports upon the Payne case, a privileged question, are to be taken up oh Tuesday, and if present intentions are adhered to, the debate will be left to the re- publicans almost entirely, The purpose of the democ members of the committee on privileges and elections to rest their case on their report gives some ground for the be- lief that the question may be brought to a vote by e Wednesday next. If the oleomurgarine bill is not disposed of to-mor- row it will be taken up after a vote is reached ¥ ndcarried to its conelu- sion, Tno sundry civil appropriation bill will probably next be taken up, and a long debate is expected upon it. All day will probably e taken before the end of the week tor the consideration of objected cases on the ealendar of nominations. 1t is possible, though, not probable, that Sen- ator Dawes will find an opportunit lllu‘uui: the week to call up the uninimous report o the Indian committee recommending the pas- sage over the veto, of the Dbill granting to railroads the right of way througzh the [ndian ion of northwestern Montana The i and grant forfeitures, ree, fortifications appro- priation billare subjects toat promise toen- gross th ntion of the house during the coming w The unexpe of the Tast appropriation for forti urday ha democratic “steering committee,” and 1t may be found necessary to recommend the bill to the appropriation committee so that it may bo replaced by a measure not likely to sucetmb to a pointof order which was made with such fatul effect in the case of the original bill. 1f this subjec can be disposed of in_ season to-morrow it will be in order to move to suspend the rules and pass the bills on the recommendation of the committee, Attempts will be made unde this order to pass the bill to increase the an- nual appropriation for the support of the mil- itia, the bill concerning the life of patents, and possibly the bill to increase the pensions of soldiers who have lost a limb. ‘T'he intro- duction of one or more concurrent resolu- tions, fixing a day for tinal journment, is expected, but while present indications point to an adjournment about the first of next month, it'is tolerably certain that the ways and means commiitee will not report the resolution upon that subject until the last possible moment. The reason assigned is that if the two houses agree upon a day of adjonrnment the motion to suspend the rules of the house of representatives will be in order atany time during the last six days of the session, and the “‘steering commiitee” would thereby lose control of the business of the house. It is believed that final adjourn- ment can’t be delayed after the passace of the appropriatiou bills. The positions of those not_vet sent to the resident are as follows: The tortifications ill awaits the passage of the house: the gen- eral deficiency bill has reached the senate committee and will prob hl? be reported on Tuesday; the sundry civil bill has been re- ported 10 the senaté and is ready for the action of that body; the naval, iver and harbor and legislative bills are in a confer- o of progeedings.
