Departed Glory.
Special Dfcpatcli to Tin lire.
CniCAOo , Aupust 24 la. m. The
glory of camp life has departed. The
tents are being rapidly removed , and
after to-diy : little will remain save the
dried and trampled grass of Lake
Parlr , whore ono weokaeo the knight
ly host assembled in such magnifi-
csncu. Ono or two commanderics
and a'few stragglers remained in the
city over Sunday. Some of the Erie ,
Wyoming and Pittsburg commandBr-
ies i-cre at the Treinont. Parkefa-
btirg , West Virginia , Commandery
lingered al the Mattesou. At the
Gardner and Palmer house a few of
thu California commander ? remained
to keep alive the impression of kindli
ness and generosity earned here by
strangers from the Golden Gate. One
commaudcry Kaa-atill ot the Pacific ,
and Grand Recorder Parvinwas there
resting from the onerous duties of his
oflico. Grand Master Sir Knight
Benjamin Dean , also remained over
Sunday. There are still thousands of
strangers here who came partly for
pleasure , but mainly on business. The
business of the city was rather im
proved than interfered with by the
great conclave. Interviews with the
retail dealers show that , while the
profits of the saloons and hotels were
tnormous , the receipts of other
branches were largo in proportion.
The siiloors and hotels quadrupled
their receipts. A jewelry firm , ono
of the highest in the northwest , figure
up for the week an increase of 75 per
cent. Clothing houses did a corres
pondingly large business. The Inter-
Ocean , m some sense the organ of Ma-
Eonry here , smooths over all disagree-
nble recollections thus : "They came ,
they saw , they conquered , and now
they are gone. That they will carry
away pleasant recollections of thia
great city is a certainty. If some of
the arrangements were a little faulty ,
tbo great crowd , the warm weather ,
and the inevitable conflicts of author
ity must be some excuse. Of the
heartiness of our welcome there can be
no doubt , and if the results did not
quite justify the hopes wo and they
had formed , the fault is not in our in
tentionbut in the irony of fate. "Tho

A Fiend Incarnate.
Sreci.il Dispatches to The Bee.
CHICAGO , August 24 1 a. m.
The inquest upon the remains of Mary
Ann Matilda Faulkner , killed by an
abortion , was begun yesterday at
the West Like street station. The
statement of the colored woman , Mrs.
Hat tic Mackaye , in whose hbusc the
body was found , and that given by
Dr. Cream , on Friday , contradict
each other as to which of them com
mitted the abortion. The girl's moth
er , who lives at Ottawa , Canada , was
informed of her daughter's death Sat
urday evening. She dreamed Friday
night that her daughter had died and
ihe confirmation of her fears falls with
terrible effect upon the aged woman.
In 1S79 Dr. Cream lived at London ,
Ont. In the spring of that year a
girl named Kiltie Gardner was seen
to enter Ins office. A few days after
wards the girl was found dead m an
outhouse in the rear of his office. She
was in a sitting posture with a bottle
of chloroform at her side , The skin
of her face was abraded as if by the
use of ammonia , and the evidence at
the inquest showed that chloroform
had been administered for the pur
pose of producing abortion , and tha
ammonia subsequently given to re
store her. Letters iound upon the
girl created a great scandal in Lon
don , but there was nothing to posi
tively connect Dr. Cretm with the
crime and ho was released. Dr. Cream
had formerly been a member of the
Y. M. C. A. and a teacher in the lrea-
byteriau Sunday school. The scandal
caused his expulsion and he left Lon
don and came to Chicago.

READING , PA. , August 24 1 a. m.
A most horrible discovery was made
here yesterday by the board of poor
directors of 13etks county , who found
an insane mail imprisoned in a hut in
the Blue ulouhtains. For twetitv-
seven years ho has never ssen the
light of day. His habitation was
made of rudely hewn logs. The
name of the lunatic Vras Benjamin
Schuylor , aged 55 years , and a native
of Germany. He has been chained
in thb hut for 27 years by his brother ,
who fed him. The lunatic in all that
time was neither \rashed , clothed or
shaved. Under the hut was a place
where a fire Waa built in winter , the
heat of which went up through the
cracks in the fljor. The lunatic was
accustomed to beat the eido of the
hut with his hand , mumbling , kicking
and screaming. A rusty chain was
attached to ono of his legs and to the
wall. He made violent resistance
when he was removed. Ho was
brought to Reading , dressed in a pet
ticoat. Hia captors were men of the
county almshouso. The chain on his
leg has not been filed off. It is re
ported that he became insane by
bathing in a cold spring in an over
heated condition. The affair causes
great excitement.
Terrible Vengeance Averted.
Special DlepiUch to the Bee.
LOUISVILLE , August 24,1 a. m. A
A special to ilie Commercial from
Paducah states that a negro was sen
tenced nine years ago by tlie judge
of the county court to Ecv > n years in
the penitentiary for attempting to
commit a rape upon the daughter of
B'ack ' Heath , of that county. He
swore vengeance , and said that ho
would come back some day and kill
Heath and the girl. When his time
expired he started back to Marshall
county , but stole a horse and was cap
tured and served two years or mora in
the penitentiary. Lait week he made
his appearance in Marshall and openly
declared his intention to go out in the
country and kill Heath and his daugh
ter. He was known to be a despera
do , and several citizens armed them
selves and quietly went out to the
house. Saturday night the negro
rode up and dismounted and was at
once called upon to surrender , which
he refused , and was lodged in jail.
When captured he was armed with a
hatchet and a largo butcher knife.

has just been received. By a subse
quent telegram from Indian Inspector
Pollock , dated l < ortBuford , 10th inst.
the indications are not so favorable.
Ho reports that the Uncapihas , Sit

number of hostile Indians from cros
sing the Missouri to come and surren

route to surrender Big Road or Broad
Trail are much less than first reported.
Rain-in-the-face and forty braves are
still at the agency and are silent and
sullen. This report also states that
the warriors are movirg south and
the children north , which does not
look well. I believe that the disposi

favorably. NELSON N. Mitts ,

PURIFYING THE PRIMARIES.
Hearty Endorsement by the
State Press Generally.
. Few of Many Favorable
Comments.
Wo append a few of the many
favorable comments of the atato press
upon the present movement in Doug
las county for purifying the primaries
and making them the expression of
the people and not a thing of bargain
of sale.
ENOUGH TO DI'GUST ANYfcODY.
We are disgusted with the sneaking ,
cut-throat principle adopted by The
Republican , of Omaha , who counte
nance a bolt of the republicans of that
city. The Republican will find out
how the party of that staie regards
boitefs atid newspapers who encourage
the same. [ Arapahoe Pioneer1.
LIKE AS TWO PEAS.
ThaOmahsi Republican is opposed
to nit honent vote and fair count at
the Douglas county ropublinm prima
ries for the reason that Roaowatcr
favors it if its own argument is to be
laken. The aotiihorn ilt > mocrati are
opposed to an honest vote and fair
connt in southern states becau'e the
republican party favon it. Hero Js a
distinction without a perceptib'e diffe
rence. [ Blair Pilot.
A CASE OF RAVISHINd.
A desperae effort is b-Mnjr made by
Senator Saunders and Mr. Rnsewater
to purify the republican primary sys
tem of Dmiglao county , which purifi
cation is being bitterly oppo od by
Hitchcock and his friends. There i
no subdivision of onr system of poli
tics more pu.'beptiblo of purification
than nre the primaries Nor Hhonhl
thia great work be confined to Omaha
and Doiiglsa county. In every pre
cinct in the state , pa'tiiularly in towns
and cities where n strontj opposition
exist * between factions , there is fnnnd
a lo so vote tha't can bo handlpcl by
manipulators in either party. By the
use of this drift-wood primaries arp
ravished , conventions packed , and
machine politicians mould candidates
for t e endorsement of the people.
[ Gage County Democrat.
JUST WITAT THEY WANT.
The position of The Omaha Repub
lican on the proposed reform in the
Donglaa county primaries aeema to bo
untenable. Acainst the plan itself
not the first objection is urged except -
copt that Rosewater originated it pnd
that he and his friends nro entrusted
with the execution. While it mij hl
have been wiser to have had both fac
tions represented on the executive
committee and as registrars , unless it
cm be shown that those now noting
do injustice to Eomo republi
can there can bo no injury done.
Should the republican faction , or any
republican adhering to it , bo refused
registration , or should the Rosewater
faction register those of their friends
not entitled to reaistration , then there
would be just cause of complaint.
Should the executive committei at
tempt to award credentials to those
not entitled to them , as The Republi
can pretends to believe , then there
would be just cause to "kick. " But
so long as all genuine republicans , and
none others , have a right to register
and vote , it is difficult to see how any
one can bo wronged. It looks very
much as though those objecting de
spaired of winning in a fair fight and
consequently want the doors loft open
for the usual number of democrat1 ] ,
tramps and repeaters , ao notorious in
Omaha primaries in years gone by.
[ Sutton Register.
A GOOD FLAN.
At Omaha the BEE faction have
control of the republican central com
mittee , and have decided to have a
registration of voters who desire to
take part in the Republican primary
election in that cily. To this arrange
ment The Republican , orU. P. fac
tion , are bitterly opposed , and are cir
culating remonstrances in the hope of
inducing the committee to abandon
the registration of voters. THE BEE
is meeting this movement by publish
ing letters from prominent republicans
strongly endorsing the committee's
plan in the interests of reform for the
better. The plan is a good one , and
should bo adopted in every city and
town in this state. Clay County
