About 4 o’clock he was nabbed by Ofticers Mitehell and Maley, two policemen, and taken to police headquarters for Tascott, the murderer of Snell. Buker answers the description of Tascott in several respects, und because he happened to be a new man, aud a reporter, the police were coufident.

Loxnox, Nov. 14.—[Special Cablegram to Tne Ber.|—Lord Salisbury to-day at a non conformist-unionist banauet, referred to the significance of such a meeting. A short time ago, he said, it would have been impossible for those presont to have met at a public din- ner. The change was o subject for congratulation, because it showed the public the danger they had to face, and that the object the were fight- g for dwarfed all others, re Was o vast amount of opinfon regarding Ireland, which they had no means of gaining. He looked with terror at the insanity which had cized English statesmen. Gladstonians were sailin g unacr sealed orders until they arrived in the congenial zone of office. Whatever policy was then declared would be made consistent with some portion of Mr. Gladstone's career. They were told to trust to the generous instinets of Irishmen, but the weak are always pushed aside, and the Parnellites would not be thrust aside by the sudden appearance of the re- fined, scrupulous and honorable states- man. Lord Hartington said that although Mr. Gladstone had attacked the unions he failed to answer their contention that Irish non-conformists wore better able to judge tho question than their English brethren who supported Mr. Gladstone. Noither of the two parties in Ircland could be trusted to govern the whole. To leave the weaker section at the merey of their herideitary op- ponents w THE WENONA TRAGEDY.

He was of powerful physique, nearly six feet tall, and_ulways bore a surly expression His reputation was always bad in this v cinity, and he was thought capable of com- mitting any crime. It was decided not to send Burkhart's remains to Chicago until to-day, when the cemetery association direc- tors refused & burial permit under all cireum- stance he triple tragedy is still the one thing discussed here, and it was, no doubt, well that Burkhart took his own life, for the enraged citizens would have made short work of him, relsome step-father.

Dougherty, an awkard looking countryman from Salem, N. Y., was a prisoner at police headquarters to- day. The charge agaiust him is that he has admired Mary Anderson, the actress, too a1 dently for his own good. Dr. Hamilton Grif fin, Miss Anderson's step-father, went to police headquarters on the duy after election und advised Inspector Byrnes of Dougherty’s pursuit of the actress. A detective who was present when Miss Anderson arrived from Kurove saw Dougherty at the steamer, and kept him under surveillance until yesterday, when he arrested him. Inspector Byrnes got at him to-day in the presenco of Miss Anderson and demanded an ex- planation of his conduct. Dougherty said he first saw Miss Anderson at Elmira, six years ago. He felt that her heart went out to him, and it was a case of love at first sight on his part. He tried to go to her on tl ¢, but was restrained. She left Elmira on the following day, and Dougherty followed her here and to England, where he bombarded her with letters of hituself. His money gave out and he returned here. He had not” been in America long before ne learned that Miss Anderson was ill, and he posted back to England with offers of sym. pathy. He chased her from Lon- don to Paris, back to London again, and thence to - Liverpool, where he had an intorview with her brother, “The interview made him happy, and_he re- turned home full of the hope that ho and v were to be marricd as s0on as she returned from abroad. He said bis arrest was therefore a greal surpise to him. At the conclusion of his story Miss Anderson told him she felt sorry for him, but would not marry hun for tie world. The poor fellow looked surprised, but promised to never trouble herif she didnot make charges against him. Miss Anderson begged the in- spector to let him go, but Byrnes locked him un to have bis sanity looked into. — — One Fatally, Two Scriously Wounded. aNe Favusy W.

John Arkins on Cleveland. New York, Nov. 14.—[Special Telegram to Tue Ber.|—John Arkins, editor of the Rocky Mountain News, Denver, Colo., is onc of the most picturesque democrats of the far west. Helooks like a cowboy cav- alier, and is never at a loss for strong and telling words in conversation. Three years ago hie gave to the public his honest opinion of Cleveland. A reporter met him to-day. He said that the defeat was just what might have been expected with a man occupying the white house who was not a democrat. *You had a tilt with the president three years ago, did you not ¢ " *It was not a tilt, exactly. The president simply snubbed me in company with other staunch democrats of Colorado. We went to him in a civil way and asked him not to im- vort into Colorado any officeholders from other states. We reminded him that the democratic national platform said shat if an appointment had to be made it should go to some onc in the state where the vacancy oc- curred. He had simply ignored the plat- form and appointed a very young mun from Virginia to a federal office in_Colorade. We democrats who made the party objected, and a delegation _ called upon the president to remonstrate. He said, with ill-concealed impatience, that we_could wait. Well, the tables are turned, and now the president can wait. 1spokemy mind freely then, because I felt that the president's course would bring disaster to our party. It was_an unpopular_thing to do, but I did it, and I do not regret it. If he had taken my advice he would not have led his party to crushing defeat.”” “Do you consider the president & demo- crati” “Democrat? What has he ever done for the party? He is as cold as a walrus on a cake of ice. He chilled the very life out of the party that looked to him for comfort and reciprocity, He courted his_enemies and kept them in power. In New York he kept thousands of republicans in office. They, no doubt, cheerfully nssisted to defeat him, 'He catered to the mugwumps, too. He thought they had power in Colorado. He sustained a humiliating defeat. The state usually gives a republican plurality, and this time it amounted to 12,000. Hundreds of democrats openiy went to the polls and tore up the pres- idential ticket because they did mot_care to vote for aman who was not a democrat. They simply disliked the presidént.’” At Indianapolis.

DowNER’S GrovE, 111, Nov. 14.—The big- gest smash-up that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road has known 1n this region for some time, and a big cnough one to satisfy all the croakers who have been predicting that sort of thing, happened here last night less than one hundred yards from the sta- tion. A fast freight running cast on the south track struck a frog and jumped the track just in time to catch the engine of pas- senger train No. 25, which pulled out of Downer’s at 6:03, At the end of a minute there was not much left of the passenger en- gine, and both the cngincer and fireman were so vadly bruised and mangled that they will die. The fact that the freight cars were empty accounts for the secmingly miraculous escape of the pusseng ouches and their oc- cupants. The smoking car stood on _end and staid there, but that was the oniy evidence of the shock that was apparent in the passen tram, and none of the pussengers were in- jured. 4 George Blood, the passenger engineer, was one of the first men imported after the strike. He is scalded and brumsed beyond recognition, and can not possibly live, The fireman is as_badly hurt, though his injurics are internal.

A limit ought 10 be put on the amount of evi- dence admitted. Attorney General Wobster, for tne Timos, said that ho could not agree with Sir Charles Russell upon the degree of connection of the league with the outrages. Speeches inciting to outrages had not yet come before the court. Sir Charles Russell responded, *“Ihen lot this evidence be deferred unul the specches are produced.” Presiding Justice Hannon said that the commission would form an opinion upon whether the persons against whom the charges were made could be connected with o8 by mere proof that outrages were committed. They would be unworthy of the position in which they w placed if they were unable to keep their minds in u state of equilibrium upon this point. e hoped, how. ever, that it woula be found possible to cur- tail the amount of evidence of this kind Attorney General Webster then read o long list of outrages, and the court adjourued.
