ered with stones and sand brought down

DISMISSED FOB INSULTING CLHVELAHD.
Washington, July 25. Some weeks
ago General Black, commissioner of pen
sions, with the approval of the secretary
of the interior, ordered the dismissal of
C. E. Behle, special pension examiner at
Cincinnati, upon information that Behle.
at a meeting of a general literary society
in that city on July 2 last, in the hearing
of a large company, used grossly insult
ing language towards the president of the
United States. Subsequently the secre
tary ordered the suspension, of the order
of dismissal until Behle could be heard
in his own behalf. Behle appeared at
the interior department today and was
given a personal hearing by the secretary.
He did not deny the charge, which was
substantiated by the affidavits of several
prominent people of Cincinnati, but said
that he had no recollection of using the
language attributed to him. At the con
clusion of the interview the secretary re
voked the order of suspension, thus dis
missing Behle from the service.
UK LKPAKl'S AND THK PANAMA CAKAU
Paris via Havre, July 10. New York
Herald cable. Subscriptions for the new

to-day. Most of the subscribers, as
usual, ware capitalists. The- result of Do
Lcsseps' appeal in not yet known, but
from a conversation I had to-night with
the. " Grand Francais ,? I have little
doubt that the public has not responded
with anything like tho expected hearti
ness. " I don't know the result even approx
imatively," said De Lenseps, " and
really feeljlittle curtosity on the subject.
At tho worst I am sure of half the
amount asked for. This, with $100,000,
000 we kavo in reserve, will more than
uflice for our present purposo and enable
us to carry tke work to a point which
will show that the scheme is feasible.
By the time this is done I shall be in
Panama." " No," added De Lesseps, re
plying to an inquiry, " I don't fear
American interference. The United
States cannot touch the canal without a
violation of the rights of natrons."
WYOilINO OIL FIELDS.
Douglas, Wyo., July 20. Four car
loads of boriag machinery arrived here
yesterday, which is being transferred by
teams to the oil fields. It is tke property
of tie Oil Mountain Petroleum company,
and is accompanied by Contractor Bow
man of Pennsylvania and an experienced
corps of workmen, who will begin bor
ing operations as soon as the machinery
can ba placed in position, which, it is
thought, will not be latar than Aug. 10.
Mr. Bowman is under contract with the
Oil Mountain Petroleum company to aink
a well i the Poison Spider basin, where
tho company has acquired some eight
sections of land, ad everybody con
nected with the undertaking is sanguine
that good oil in large quantities will be
lound at no great depth.
The samples of oil aent to Pennsyl
vania some weeks since for refining and
annalysis have come back with the most
satisfactory reports, showing them to bo
of the very inest quality.
In Douglas and the country hereabouts
there ia great excitement over the pros
pective developments, and a heavy influx
f capital and immigration is anticipated.
CHICAGO BOODLEBS IN TUOCnLB.
Chicago, July 26. The usual crowd
was present in Judge Jamison's court
this morning when the prosecutions in
the boodle trials were resumed. One of
tho witnesses today was Fred W. Bipper,
a meat contractor, who is generally sup
posed to have very sensational testimony
to disclose. Bipper testified that ho had
been supplying Cook county institutions
with meat since 1880. The second year he
was obliged to pay the commissioners
$3,000 for tho contract. The next year
he paid the chairman of the committee
$500 for voting for his contract. He
paid $0,000 for the year 1883, and in
1884 and 18S5 the contracts coBt him
$10,000.
Bipper further tistified that during
18S5 he acted as agent to collect for the
commissioners assessments from sub-contractors
who supplied milk and bread.
The money obtained was divided among
Niessen, McDonalr1, Lejder, Keehm and
McClaughey. Bipper said the grocery
firm which received the contract paid him
10 per cent of all its sales to the county.
Commissioner Finley A. SIcConald
went on the witness stand in the bic
boodler case this afternoon, and testified
arainst his corrupt colleairues. He relat
ed the particulars of what is known as
the county court house paint deal, and
had something to say about Bipper's meat
contracts. lie had received various sums
for yoting for certain contracts and knew
that other commissioners had taken mon
ey for their votes.
Elisha A. Robinson, a wholesale grocer,
gave a complete list of tho enormous
sums he had paid in bribes. For years,
until 1885, he regularly gave 10 per cent
on all sales. Then the rate was increased
to 12 per cent, until the county became
unable to cash any more warrants. The
state has still in reserve over one hun
dred witnesses, whose revelations are ex
pected to be fully as startling as any yet
made.
No new developements in the McGari
gle case today, Sheriff Matson offered a
reward of $2,500 for his apprehension. A
special from St. Ignace, Mich., says a tug
waa chartered by three detectives to pur
sue a boat on which it was supposed the
fugitive was.
DEATH OF JOHN TATLOK, PRESIDENT
or
THE MORMON CHURCH.
Salt Lake, U. T., July 26. It is an
nounced to-night that John Taylor. Pres
ident of the Mormon Church, died last
evening. John Taylor was born in Miln
thorpe, Westmoreland county, England,
November 1, 1808, and joined the Meth
odist church in England, and emigrated
to Canida in 1S.T2, following his parents,
who went there two years beforo, got in
a conflict with the Methodists in Toronto,
and became a Progressist Methodist when
Parley P. Pratt visited that city. In
1830, Taylor ami others were baptised in
the Mormon church by Hill, and in lSIK!
gathered to Rutland, Ohio. In 1888
Joseph Smith had a "revelation," naming
Taylor hud others for members of the quo
rum of twelve apostles to till vacanciee.
Taylor did much missionary work for the
church for twenty years in foreign land.
He was also the editor of various church
papers and was with Joseph Smitk in
Carthago jail and received four shots
when the assailants opened fire. Uo was
president of the Twelve Apostles when
Brigham Young died in 1877, and as
such remained the head of the church till
1880, when he organized the first presi
dency anew, taking the chief place him
self, which ho held till his death. After
the passage of the Edmunds law of 1882,
he pretended to give up his views, but
constantly preached that no Mormon
could do this, and nobody believed he
had done it. lie was indicted early in
1883. He last appcare 1 in public Febru
ary 1, 1885, Sines then he has been in
hiding from officers of tho law.
Taylor was one of the earliest and
firmest adherents of polygamy, yet, after
adopting it he took occasion to deny such
practices as prevailed among Mormons
George Q. Cannon publishes a long an
nouncement in the Desert News this
evening. Cannon says that Taylor occu
pied the place of a double martyr, and
has been killed by the cruelty of the otli
cials, who have in this territory misrepre
sented the government of the United
States. Again "his blood stains the
clothes of these men, who with insenate
hate, offered rewards for his arrest, ind
have hounded him to his grava"
