WHO POCKETED TRE BOODLE? Garbage Master Goldsmith Bo- deavors to Explain. HE MAKES OMINOUS THREATS. Bombshells to Be Exploded Door ¥ards of a Number of Prominent Clty Omcials, p— That $250 The controversy between (iarbage Master Goldsmith and Mayor Broatcb has ended by Goldsmith being expelled, and after next Tuesday night his past conduct will be n- vestigated by the ity council.

He claims to know a great deal, and intimates that corruption can be traced toanfluential officials in the matter of alleged immunity ex tended to cer- tain discrderly bouses which are, or were, in the proscribed district, whilo others within a stone’s throw are closed or abandoned. o quotes M. F. Martin, the notorious Slo- minski and a Mrs. Lewis as having somo kuowledge of thesn transuction A reportor sought the latter yesterday and asked what she knew about Goldsmith's threatened exposo. Mra. Lewis is a chunky woman of about fifty summers. She is a great talker, al- though her dialect is av times difficult to un- derstand, - Sho was found by the reporter at her Fif- teenth sureet home, noar Chicago stroot. *“Did you ever approach M. .

Ho tola us that he aud tne mayor were bosom friends, und what ne dia for us in talking to the m ot the order rescindod was done gratuitous!y. M. . Martin's story differs considerably from that of Mra, Lowis. He states that the woman came to him three different times and wanted him to put up $250.

He evidently has an 1dea that he can get even with the men who have brought about his suspension, In going over the case yesterduy he dropped a few remarks on the chief of police. He said that shortly after the houses of Mre. Lewis were opened that Chief Seavey paid the note of $250 which Goldsmith held agalust hiw, and which had a short time beforo been transferred to Me- Guckin, because of certain newspaper com- ments on the subject. Goldsmith aid not say that Seavey got any of Mrs. Lewis’ money, but he repeated & dozen times tho statement that her houses are running wide open while those of Martin bave been closed and tenantless, e The Board of Education.

Cmicaao, Nov. 0.—Gerhart Wade, the first witness in the Cronin 01se this morn. ing, testified that on the night of the murder about 10:30 o'clock, he saw two men on the corner of Ashland avenue and Otto street, which is near the Carlson cottsge. They were going north. The men were unknown to witness, They walked on and entered the Carlson cottaga, A slat was oroken on one of the blinds, and through the opening witness could see that there was a light in- side. Witness then went home, and on the following morniug, the aay being Sunday, accompanied by his wife, he went 1o mass, passing the Carlson cottage between 7und 8 o'clock.

October 23 he also received from Prof. Beifield some dark colored hairs ana told of his experiments with them. Prof. Henry L. Tolman, a microscopist, testified a8 to the results of the examination of specimens of blood taken from the Carl- son cottage and from the trunk, and of hawe taken from the cottage and from Cronln's head, He declared positively the biood was that of & human belng.

A RACONTEUR’S RECOLLECTIONS He Made a Good Farmer, But Plow- ing in His Kather's Peekskill Land Proved 1oo Tame For the Ambitious Depew. Once Was a Farmer Boy. People who have seen and heard Chauncey M. Depew make one of his wonderful speeches have often won- dered what kind of a boy such an un- usually talented man was. That he stole jam from his mother’s preserve closet, threw stones at intoxicated men on the quiet, and smoked his father’s pipe in his father’s absence, like all small boys do, seemed impossible. To find out just what kind of a boy Mr. Depew was, a New York Journal man called at his office at the Grand Central depot, and after a short delay was ushered into the great speaker’s privute room, On being tld the object of the re- porter’s visit, Mr. Depew at first laughed heartily, as if séme long forgotten but pleasant nemories were suddenly called up, but becoming demure with the abruptness thut marked his levity, he said that his secretary, Mr. Duval, could probably give all the information ngeessary, but if My, Duval should fail he himself would come to the rescue and make up all deficiencies. Mr. Depew was a regular bona fide country boy. He was born on w farm near Peekskill, on April 3, 1834, Fifty five years ago Peeckskill was a much smaller place than 1t is now, and it isn’t a very large town to-day. i Young Chauncey’s mother, a Mss Martha Mitchell, was a lady of marked versonal beauty. Her father Chuuncey R. Mitchell, was a distinguished law- ver of his day and was widely known for his oratorical abilities. This latter fact may in a measure account for the similar talents possessed by the Mr. Depew of to-day. On the old farm which for 200 vears had been in the possession of his fam- ily, and which is still owned by him, 1 Chauncey first saw the light of day and the light of many other days for several subsequent years, Chauncey’s first recollection dates to the time that several geese forced him intoa corner of his father’s barnyurd ank kept him there, hissing at his lit- tle bare legs. until one of the men vm- ployed on the farm was attracted by his piercing screams and rescued him from his supposed perilous position, Up to the time he wasseven years old Young Chauncey’s life was as peaceful anu as quiet as the country about him, The only trouble he had,according to himself, came on Sunday. His futher wus a strict Presbyteriun of the old school, and every Sunday morning every one in the farm-FLouse had to go to church whether he liked itor not. The minister of the church was a Rev, Dr. Halliday,a brother of the Rev. Dr, Halliday, who' for so many years was Henry Ward Beecher’'s main as- sistant in Plymouth church., Mr. De- pew said yesterday: My recollection of this church iz somewhat peculiar. In front of me sat an old deacon who regularly slept through every sermon delivered by Dr, Halliday, because he knew it was all right, But when any young theologian came to preach he kept very much awake, I suppose to detect any errors that the young man might make. “Directly behind me sat two old maids, These two womer were the baue | master of ull the square dance: of my youthful life. As surely as I moved my head the least bit, or made theslightest noise during the service, one of them would give me a stinging They.did this regularly r L dislike to remem- s. I laugh at it now rible outrage to me every Sunda; ber how many y but 1t seemed & U then.” ‘When Chauncy arrived at his sev- enth birthdav he was sent to the village chool. There, 1n addition to other things ho learned the artof chowing pieces ot puper in his teeth and throw- ing the amalgamated result at some schoolmate. He was very obedient otherwise, and he cifh remember no scrapo that he ever got into that re- quired moro correction than a mild switehing of his legs by the schoolmus- ter. ‘When he was twelve years old he Dbegan to develop a greut fondness for books, magazines and newspapers, in fact, anything bearing priut. At that time there were two libraries in Pecks- kill, and before long young Chauncey had read every book and magazine in both, Then he began to borrow from the neighbors and his acquaintances, but in a wonderfully short. time he ex- hausted all the reading matter in the country for miles around. But Chauncey still had one source of supply which never gave out. His unclo was the village postmaster, and every afternoon when school was over he went into the village to the postoffice. There he would sit reading the newspapers and magazines which came through the mail from cover to cover, and then they would be delivered to their rightful owners. Notwitbstanding his studious inclina- tions, Chauncey was not a book-worm by auy wmeuans, Ho was cheery and bright and always readv for any kind of a frolic. He could row or swim in sum- mer or skate in winter with the rest of the village boys of his age, and at any. of the social gatherings in the country around he wus sure to be found, Dancing and singing were his favor- ite amusements, and 80 expert was he at both that he acquired a reputation for being the best dancer and singer in the country. He could dance every kind ofa jig, from a plantation break- down to u Highland fling, Ho was also , and he always led the marches, including the prettiest girl to supper. General Husted, who is alife-long friend of Chauncey, met his present wife at one of these little parties. On that particular night Chauncey sang some song which he had to repeat ten times over before his audience was sat- isfied. While young Chauncey wasa great favorite with the boys of his own age, he was more than Iked by his girl ace quaintances. Atone timeé there were some twenly young ladies who secretly cherished the idea that some day they would be Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew. Whenever Chauncey could get hold of any book containing historical or Imlmml speeches he would smugele it nto his bedroom, where he would read it until 8 or 4 ¢'¢lock in the morning, His mother discovergd him one night and in future ook precautions against a repetition of the offense, which she said would destroy both bis henith and s sight, by depriving bim of his lamp, with which he used to light his way to bed, After he had learned all that there was to be learned ia the villuge school Chauncey was sent to the Peekskill academy, then superintended by Albert Wells, & Rutgers college graduate, but who is now a Kansas farmer, It was then that Chauncey first de- veloped a taste for specch-making. One of the amusements of the academy was u debating society, of which Chauncey 5000 became the star member. He used to speak mainly ou politics uglegnad from the books he hud read, and with pardonable regularity he in- sisted that unless a certain measure was adopted *‘the country would go the devil.,” On finishing “the course in the academy he decided to be a farmer, This pleasea his father greatly. who atonce purchased brand new imple- ments for Chauncey 10 go to work with, Chuuncey worked diligently, following the plow and hoeing corn and potatoes until he was cighteen years old, when he determiued that he should be a law- yer. He told his father that he wished to g0 to Yale college and study for the bar, and the old gentleman, very much incensed, told him that it was beiter for him to sty at home and be a good farm- er than to go to college and be a poor lawyer. Chauncey went to college, however, and studied law. He pulled the stroke oar of his class boat and was considered the finest singer in the place. He used tolead in tho singing of all the glee songs, which would be joined in by the others in the chorus. It was in stumping New York state for Fremont, after he had graduated, that he first discovered his veal powers of oratory. e QUANTRELL'S BAND. An Ex-Confederate's Account of the Guerrilla Chier and His K'ollow, It is said that the Guerrilla chief Quantrell was originally a mild-man- nerea and humane gentleman, says the Florida Times-Union. Tt is certain that he was a school teacher and a very good one. His brother was killed by Kansas men and he became a devil. Bill Anderson was a slow-motioned, quiet, modest country boy. His mother was whipped and his sisters ravished by foderal soldiers, and therealter he mur- deved all who fell into his power— twonty-live in one squad were shot by his gang. He literally gloated over the murderof a blue-cout. of Quantrell’s band thirty took parv. Quantrell was captain; Haller, Gregg and Todd, lieutenants; John Cole and Jim Younger, privates. Bob was a child at the time, for he was born in 1854, Cole Youuger names November 10, 1861, us the day he killed his first militia~ man, The gang was at its greatest strength when it pecpetrated the horrible Law- rence massacre in August, 1863, and many volun ed for that expedition alone. The voto was unanimous to burn the town and kill every man in sight, and it was rigidly carried out. The band corriad a smell, square, black flug, and in the center of it, embroidered by n woman’s hand, was the word “'Quan- trell.” Many of tne gang bore cruel scars, and Cole Younger bore around his neck a deep purple mark, the effect of a rope when he was drawn upinto an oak tree by some playful Kansas *‘Red Legs.” When the question came up as to spuring a prisoner, if he was a Kan- sus man Cole pointed silently to that mark and the prisoner’s fate was sealed, After the Lawrence tragedy the band fell away rapidly. ‘The bordér counties of Missouri were depopulated and order was restored in the rest; sothe gang dissolved in the far south. Quantrell died in Kentucky, clasping the hand of a sister of charity, and responding as long as able to her prayers. The story goes that when laid out for the grave fifty scars were found on his body, Of the others, Arthur McCoy was shot dead in Texas while resisting arrest. Tim Read was killed in the same state by a sheriff. Miller, Chadwell and Pitts were killed in the Northfieid raid, when the Youngers were captured. Jesse James was assassinated by a pre- tended friend, Andy McGuire was called cut the night of his wedding and killed, and so the original gang went, i LD Perbaps Peiers is Alive, Nov. 0.—The Tagblatt says a tele. gram bas been received from Zavzibar stat- g that the report of the massacre of tue Emin Bey relief expedition under the com- wand of Dr. Peters, had uot beeu confirmed, and peading confirmation the report is dis- credited there.

Preparing for a Lively Campalgn in the Kingdom of the Desoret —A Generation of Im- itato; In Martial Arvray. Savr LAge Ciry, Nov. 4.—|Special to Tre BEE.]--Mormons possess at least one char- acteristic of the heathen from the Flowery Land. Chinesc are noted for their lack of inventive power but as imitators they are a cess, especially io the line of manufae- tures, but they nover forget their leading habit. So it is with the followers of Josoph Smith, especially in political affairs, During all the past up to a short period back, their veople were so completely under the control of the priesthood that to carry an election it was only necessary for the leaders to tell them who to vote for and iv was done. But the introduction of modern campaign ideas and political practices for a time was much of a paralyzer, creating havoc in the ranks of the people’s party, Tho public displays and speaking caused members of the people’s party to think and listen, and when they began to reason it was with great difficulty that they could be retained in full sympathy with their party, and many deserters camo as a result of thesc active campaigns on the part of the liberals, It is only a little while since the Mormon people were first called together to listen to political talk, and that had como in imitation of the liber: and as & matter of necessity 0 keep their ks full. On more than one occasion have the liberals asked and hegged for joint discussions on politics, but they have signally failed because that is not their way of doing things. Such discussion Wi tend to open the oyes of mem- their party, aod causo them uk and act for themselyes, a thing tho most desire to wvold, The unusual activity of the present campaign in this city is one 0f the most hopeful eigns in the his- tory of this territory. THE LIBERAL PARTY has taken thelead in con; sing a campaign for a municipal clection six months bofore 1t transpires. One half that time has passed, and - we find tho party most ' thoroughly organized, and with an enthusiasm throughout which almost, if mot fully, insures victory. Our city is divided into twenty-two ecclesias- tical wards in each of which is s Mormon mecting house and school house, Formerly the meeting and scfiool house wero one and the same, but about the time of the passage of the Edmunds-Tucker bill, the property was divided up, giving the meeting house to the church, while the school took second choice, and in sowe cases was left without any hovse, In many of these wards the school bouse is the only publie hall for holi- aay business mestings and hence becume the places of rendezvous for political clubs. Wwas in these school houses that the liberals have been meetini to organize clubs and dis- cuss matters pertaining Lo their party. About every ward in the city has its liberal club,and some wards have two to four, These partake of a military character, both in uniform and arill, their weanons being plain and flambean torches, wooden guns, parasols,ete, Tiwe 8ix years ago, General P, entered this city with bis fornia soldiers and established Camp Doug- las, much against the wish of tue then rul- ing monarch, Brigham Young. Having spent most of these years in Utah and all the time been an oppouent to the church which domiuated the destinies of Utah and held back this fair laud, no more approvriate selection could be made than General Connor o lead the LIBERAL PARTY TO VIOTORY. He has fully organized bis staff of officers and aids, aud last Saturday evening the first parade took pluce. It was a magniticent affair, aod & great surorise to the vast crowds witnessiog it.
