    SCHOFIELD REBUKED.
JUDGE BRADLEY DENOUNCES
ARMES' ARREST.
H Says It Was Unjust. Unlawful, Arbi
trary, Tyrannical and Capricious on
the Part erf tbe Retired Commander,
In Whatever Capacity He Acted The
Captain Discharged Case Will be Ap
pealed. Tie Case of Captain Arraes.
Wabbimotoit, Oct. il. Judge Brad
ley of the district supreme ooart to
day ordered the discharge from cus
tody of Captain George A. Armes, who
was arrested on the order of Lieuten
ant General Sehofield, just prior to the
latter' retirement from the command
of the army, for having written him
an insulting letter. The judge said:
The arrest and taking- of Armes into
custody, carrying him away from his
home to barracks and holding him in
close arrest without any antecedent
charge of crime preferred in any way
against him was and is unjust, unlaw
ful, arbitrary, tyrannical and capri
cious on the'part of General Sehofield
in whatever capacity he acted, wheth
er acting as lieutenant general or act
ing secretary of war. The petitioner
is discharged."
The judge then went into the matter
at considerable length and said: ''No
charge was preferred against Amies at
the time of his arrest, no crime has
been charged since, and for the of
fenses alleged, no arrest was neces
sary. The arrest and confinement
were unlawful and oppressive. As the
-ffense charged would, upon substan
tiation, result only in reprimand, sus
pension or dismissal, the possession of
thebody of the accused was not neces
sary to carry out the charges, as
would have been the case if imprison
ment or death was to be the sentence."
Speaking of the president's power in
army matters, the judge said: '"The
president oi the United States is com-luander-in-chief
of the officers of the
army on the retired list. This func
tion of the chief executive, however,
is unaccompanied by harrowing care
or weiglitv responsibility. His title
of commander-in-chief, so far as it re
lates to retired officers, is shorn of all
power to impose duties, and appears to
be an empty came."
The judge advocate general of the
war department has determined to
take an appeal from the decision of
Judge l-Jradley. This will carry the
matter to t he court of appeals of the
District of Columbia.

Creen of fhelbln, Mo., at yalncy, 111.
Quincy, I1L. Oct. 11. Eev. James
I'reston Green, a Presbyterian minis
ter at Shelbina, Mo., was married here
yesterday to Sallie Hush, a wealthy
girl of Monroe City. Misa Bush has
been kept a prisoner by her father,
although she is of age. lie objected
to Green because he was poor. Twice
the couple tried to elope, and the
groom had marriage licenses in three
counties.
Last Sunday the girl got away from
the house that her father had placed
her in and came to Quincy to visit
frieiiws. Green came to a ministers'
conference here. He heard that Miss
Hush was in the city, drove up to her
stopping place in a hack and carried
her off. They crossed the river and
were married by a county justice near
West Quincy on a license that the
groom obtained several weeks ago.
The bride is Z2 years old, pretty, and
has a large fortune in her own right.
MISSIONARIES IN NEED.
The Congregational Home Society In Tem
porary Financial Straits.
New York, Oct. 11. The Congrega
tional Home Missionary society is in
iebt to the banks 179,000, its treasury
is empty and, inasmuch as only 100,
3X of the indebtedness is secured by
collateral, the banks have refused fur
ther unsecured loans. The sala
ries of the home missionaries were
due October 1. Failure to receive
them means in many cases borrowing
of local banks at high rates of interest.
The society is absolutely dependent for
the time being upon the gifts of
?liurches and individuals. The pres
ent situation is due not only to the
bard times, but to the chronic omis
sion of Congregational churches to
take their missionary collections in the
summer and early fall. The severity
' ' 'he crisis is great, but temporary.
DURRANT ON THE STAND.
He I is plays Remarkable Coolness
ind
Nerve Daring the Ordeal.
Sax Francisco, Oct. 11. Theodore
Durrant, assistant superintendent of
Emanuel Baptist church Sunday
school, was placed ou the stand yes
terday for the purpose of convincing
the jury that he did not murder
Itlanche Lamont April 3. With the
same coolness that has characterized
his conduct since his arrest he denied
the principal allegations that have
been made against him bv the most
important witnesses for the prosecu
tion. His answers were always brief
and to the point and by many were
interpreted to mean that he had
studied his part well before taking the
stand. Qaestions that would ordinari
ly case a visible impression on a guilty
man were answered by Durrant with
the utmost unconcern. Even when
Attorney Deuprey asked him if on the
3d of April or at any other time he
murdered or participated in murder
ing Ulanche Lamont, the prisoner
coolly replied in the negative.

embassy has received from the inter
national exhibition at Bordeaux,
France, the second bulletin on the

rpjjg SEATS IN DOUBT.
AS TO CONTESTS IN THE NEXT
CONGRESS.
Disputed Seats In Legal Doubt Trouble
Expected The Contestant's Evidence
In Rebuttal Not Filed In Accordance
With Plain Provisions of the Law
Contestants Must Have a Strong Case
to Win.
Disputed Congressional Seats.
Washington, Oct. 10. Not one of
the contests filed against the members
of the new house of representatives is
complete. In most, the testimony
furnished on behalf of both the con
testant and contestee has been de
posited with the clerk, but in none
have the contestants filed their testi
mony in rebuttal. c
In the Belknap-McGann case from
the Third Illinois district Mr. McGann
has not yet furnished his testimony,
which, according to law, he should
have done within forty days after that
of the contestant. Although this is
the law, the house is not always
guided by the statutes if satisfactory
explanations for the delay are fur
nished. In the Beattie-Price case
from the Third Louisiana, for instance,
Mr. Price's testimony was delayed by
smallpox, which was epidemic in cer
tain parts of his district.
- Although no official information has
been received to that effect, it is un
derstood at the clerk's office here that
R. A. Cheseborough, who filed notice
of contest against George B. McClel
lan of the Twelfth New York, has
abandoned his contest. In the other
New York cases (Mitchell against
Walsh in the Eighth and Campbell
against Miner in the Ninth) the con
testees have not filed their testimony
owing to some local hitch, and Mitch
ell, it is understood, charges Walsh
with attempting to delay the case.
All of the contestants of the thirty
cases are Republicans, save Goodrich,
who is contesting Cobb's seat in the
Fifth Alabama, and Campbell, who is
contesting Miner's seat. Goodrich is
a Populist, who had the Repulican in
dorsement, and Campbell ran as an in
dependent Democratic candidate.
General opinion is that the cases of
the contestants seated by the next
house will have to be very meritorious
as the Republican majority is over
whelming and there is no political
emergency "which would tend to make
the members look on contests with
anything but an impartial eye to their
justice.
AFTER THE FIGHTERS.
Co r be tt and Fltxslmmons Likely to Bo
Indicted by the Austin Grand Jury.
Austin, Texas. Oct. 10. The grand
jury concluded its examination of
members of the Corbett training party
at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and they
returned to San Antonio.
Dclaney said after the examination
that he knew no more about the mat
ter now than he did before, but from
tne questions asked it was very evi
dent that the grand jury would at
tempt to indict Corbett and Fitzsim
mon's and probably some member of
the Florida Athletic club for arrang

They Carry Indianapolis by a Majority
of About 5,000.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 10. The
municipal election in this city was a
Democratic landslide. The entire
ticket is elected by a majority approx
imating 5,000. This is regarded re
markable in view of the fact that a
Republican was elected two years ago
by a majority of over 3,000.

Washington, Oct 10. The presi

spited four times, the last carrying
the ate of execution to October 18,
and has also denied the application
for a pardon in the case of Hans Han

on the high seas and sentenced to be
hanged Friday, October 18.
Colonel Forney Gets Off Easy.
Washington, Oct. 10. The report
of the court martial in the case of

LORD SACKVILLE WEST.
The Ex-English Minister Tells of HI
Mission to America.
Nkw York, Oct. 10. A special cable
to the World from London says: An
extraordinary and in many respects
unprecedented publication by a Brit
ish or other high diplomat has been
discussed during the past few days
among the foreign representatives to
the court of St. James. This is a
handsomely printed pamphlet marked
"For Private Circulation Only," and
entitled "My Mission to the United
States, 81-89," and has just been issued
by Lord Sackville, who as Sir Lionel
Sackville-Saekville West, K. a M. G.,
was the English minister to Washing
ton for the period named.
It will be remembered that Presi
dent Cleveland, almost on the eve of
the election of 1888, sent Sir Lionel
his passports because of a letter writ
ten by him to an alleged Englishman
in California, commenting upon the
approaching election. This pamphlet
is Lord Sackville's defense and expla
nation, after seven years, of that inci
dent. But the unprecedented part of it,
and the part of it which has aroused
very excited comment is. first, the
freedom of his strictures upon the
American people and American public
mien; and, second, shis own expressed
indignation that the British ministry
should have accepted Mr. Bayard as
ambassador to this country, while, as
secretary of state of the United States,
Mr. Bayard had wantonly insulted, in
person, its accredited representative.
The pamphlet consists of fifty-two
pages, 15,000 words, and is of very
limited issue, not more than 100
copies. These have been ent, under
seal only, to leading foreigh diplomats
and the higher English officials and a
few personal friends.
Chester A. Arthur was president
and James G. Blaine was secretary of
state when Loud Sackville came to
New York in November, 1881.
At a reception given him by the St.
George's society he says that Mr.
Blaine was sent to greet him by Presi
dent Arthur and he made a most
cordial address of welceme.
Lord Sackville notes also his very
cordial reception by the president
himself, but remarks: "That while
Mr. Blaine was using this conciliatory
language he was carrying on hostile
controversy with her majesty's gov
ernmeat respecting the abrogation of
the Clayton-Bui wer treaty. "
A presidential election was ap
proaching and Mr. Blaine was likely
to be the Republican candidate.
"It was at this time that Mr. Blaine
spoke to me in the most commenda
tory tones of the conduct of her maj
esty's government in dealing with the
Irish question. They had created such
a hostile feeling in the United States
that he felt convinced if the population
was polled the result would be an
almost unanimous expression of hatred
towards England. This language
clearly indicated his intention to
trade upon this hostility to England
in order to gain the Irish vote for his
election."
"He notes Mr. Blaine's defeat with
not greatly repressed exultation and
says he looked hopefully to the new
Democratic administration and Mr.
Bayard. The latter, he says, depre
cated to him "the influence which the
Irish party had obtained in the con
stituencies and expressed himself as
determined not to allow his action to
be dictated by it."
ne then quotes the Murchison letter
and his reply, which he refers to as
"incautious," both of which, to his
amazement, were published in the
New York Tribune, organ of the Re
publican party, on October 22, 1888.
He learned from private sources that
no such person as Murchison existed.
"The excitement over the Sackville
incident, as it was called,' became
farciaL" He was caricatured. He
saw Mr. Bayard four days before elec
tion and the secretary "cordially ac
cepted my expression of regret at
what had occurred. r'
'When, however, I saw Mr. Bayard
the following day, he said the matter
had become serious, great interests de
pended upon the re-election of Mr.
Cleveland, he could not ignose the in
jurious effect which my letter had had
upon a certain faction, the vote of
which was necessary for the success
of the Democratic candidate."
He saw a copy of the telegram from
the state department to Minister
Phelps, accusing him of "political
cowardice." He took this offensive
telegram to Mr. Bayard, saying he
considered it a personal insult. Mr.
Bayard was "embarrassed and con
fused, and at last said that he knew
nothing of any such telegram having
been sent." He was furnished with a
copy of the following telegram re
ceived by a member of the cabinet
from the national committee in New
York: "Does the president know that
the Irish vote is slipping out of our
hands because of the diplomatic shilly
shallying: free Lamont (the president's
secretary and chief wire-puller) at
once. Something ought to be done
to-day."
Accordingly he received his pass
ports that afternoon.
Lord Sackville quotes a statement
he made to Lord Salisbury, accusing
Secretary Bayard of flagrant misstate
ments of facts and of duplicity.
He refers to President Cleveland in
bitter terms and adds: "There is no
base action which an American poli
tician will not resort to in order to
gain an election."
He quotes a letter in full from a
manager of a dime museum in New
York offering him $2,000 per week and
expenses for himself and suite if he
would hold two levees daily of two
hours in "my palatial museum."
A Lord to Be Sold Out.

EX-SENATOR MA HONE, i
DEATH OF THE NOTED VIRGIN
IAN ANNOUNCED.
Paralysis the Malady that Carried Him
Off One of the Best Known and
Bravest Officers of the Confederate
Army During the War Bis Sensation
al Exploits In the United States Senat
Chamber as a Republican.
Waahxnoton, Oct. 9. General Will
iam Mahone, ex-United States senator
from Virginia, died here at 1 o'clock
this afternoon from paralysis. He
was stricken during the night of Sep
tember 29 and only partially rallied.
His ease had been hopeless for some
days.
General Mahone emerged from the
war with the halo of glory about his
name. The citizens of Petersburg, his
home, through the city council offered
him a lot to build on. It was a recog
nition of the services of the gallant
Mahone brigade. He was a son
of the state and, after Lee and "Stone
wall" Jackson, her greatest fighter
in the rebellion. The night before tbe
surrender at Appomattox General Lee
called Mahone into his tent. There
the two went over the situation to
gether. They agreed that surrender
was the only thing. General Mahone
did not accept the lot offered by the
city, but the citizens united again and
by subscription bought a house and
lot and presented it to Mrs. Mahone.
She likewise declined to accept the
gift. But the general bought on Mar
ket street and built the residence
which he had since occupied, together
with Mrs. Mahone and his two sons,
William and Butler, and his daughter,
Nettie.
Mahone and the exploits of the Ma
hone brigade were celebrated in prose
and song. For years the "Little Wiz
ard" was the idol of his people. But
he became a Republican. Then the
idol of Virginia and of the South was
pulled from its pedestal.
General Mahone was the 60n of a
fine old fashioned tavern keeper, who
lived on the Jerusalem plank road in
the black belt below Petersburg. The
boy passed through the Virginia mili
tary institute as a free scholarship
man and began life as a civil engineer.
He built the railroad from Richmond
up to the Southern terminus of the
Pennsylvania over back of Alexandria.
In the rebellion he was known as a
hard fighter. For exceptional
bravery at the time of the explosion
of Grant's mine underneath Lee's
works, July 30, 1864, he was given the
sobriquet of the "hero of the crater."
He was commissioned a brigadier gen
eral in March, 1864, and major general
in August of the same year.
This man, who was a major general
at 30, took charge, when the war was
over, of the railroad which he had
built some years before. It was then
little more than two streaks of iron
rust. He nade it the powerful Rich
mond and Danville. He showed the
quality of the born leader at the first
start off. He sent the agents of the
Adams Express company and of the
Baltimore and Ohio flying from his
trains and went into the express bus
iness himself. He made money and
Bolid popularity all at once. But in
the big Richmond Terminal fight the
other moguls froze him out. There is
a tradition, however, that the general
wa- posted about the movements of
the syndicate and made handsomely.
There is another tradition that young
Butler pocketed a good 530, o00 himself.
General Mahone made an unsuccess
ful attempt to secure the nomination
for governor of Virginia in 1878, es
poused the cause of the Readiuster
party and became its leader and by
devious methods the object of many
an attack, he found a seat in the
United States senate in 1880. He
served six years in that body, being
retired by defeat at the polls. lie was
like a firebrand cast into a mass of dry
tinder, and from the peculiar attitude
that he at once assumed he caused one
of the most bitter controversies and
stubborn deadlocks ever known in the
history of that body. He at last acted
with the Republicans, and gave them
the organization of the senate. His
course brought down upon his head
the wrath of -the Democrats, but
the Republicans received him with
open arms and the federal" patronage
in Virginia was turned over to him.
Since that time he had been
the Republican leader of Virginia.
Although he had resided almost con
stantly in this city since he left the
senate, he retained the Republican
leadership in Virginia and in 1800 was
a candidate for governor. He was
best known here of late years by his
efforts to secure the purchase by the
government for a printing office site
of a square of ground owned by him.
The quaint figure of its owner was
always seen in the lobbies of both
house and senate at the close of every
session, and he was considered a
great power in the third house. Ex
ceptionally slight in stature and frame
he was a marked man in great assem
blages. His peculiar style of dress,
and especially his hat, attracted atten
tion to him. This broad brimmed, soft
felt head gear seemed out of propor
tion to the tiny form beneath it.

Blkslau, Oct. 9. Herr Liebknecht,
in his inaugural speech at the opening

the remarks recently made by Emperor
William of Germany, saying that at

Jilted, on Her Wedding Day.
Peobia, 111., Oct. 10. St. Joseph's
Catholic church this morning wa
crowded to witness the marriage of
Anton J. Thiers to Miss Ann Burlett,
and at the home f the bride a wed
ding breakfast had been prepared for
200 guests. The groom, however,
