Kansas City, Ootober 12.—Henry Liebtried, a Garden City (Km.) druggist, and one of the best known in Kansas, states that Stewart, the now notorious drag clerk of "Wiohita, is olerkiag for him. He says that no effort was made to oompel Stewart to pay his fine; that he was placed in jail only a few days and was released upon the payment of 9100. Stewart plead guilty to selling beer 208 different timesand was sentenced to jail for 17 years and fined 120,000. Since then it has leaked oat that Stewart was persuaded to plead guilty by Jas. Hallowell, Deputy Attorney General of Kansas, for the effect it might have on other violators of the law, and that he did so with the understanding that he would have to pay only a small amount and would not be imprisoned. This revelation, together with this later news of Stewart being at liberty, has created a great deal of a sensation throughout Kansas, and there is a loud oall for Hallowell's resignation. Attorney General Bradford says that if Hallowell did make such an arrangement, it was without his knowledge or consent, and promises a thorough investigation. Still 1.1 vliiIT. Yet Dend.

Chicago, October IS.—The lfayor this morning directed the Polloa Department to lamuiily enppreee George Francis Train, and to not permit him to epeak again. If he make* any farther demonstration he will be taken to the lockup, and remain there until he can legally be adjudged insane and oommitted to a lunatic asylum. The largest audience he has yet had in the city greeted him last night, there being between 12,000 and 13,000 present. Many of those present were Simon-pore Anarchists, and it will be surprising if nothing more serious than laughter result* from Train's utterances. He beoame a little bold. When he said the police would not allow him to sell his paper, he dared them to stop him there, and when a score of those present jumped up and volunteered to sell his Anarchistic sheet, he supplied them with oopies, which were in a moment sold. His speech during the evening consisted of a few sentences on every topio that oame to his mind. He took a vote on the proposition to hang Jay Gould, and a unanimous "aye" was the result. After taking a similar vote on "all those in favor of the constitutional right to carry arms," he dared the polioe to arrest him. He oalled on Mrs. Parsons, and and for ten or fifteen minutes she harrangued the crowd. He promised to build for the workingmen of Chicago a hall, with a library and reading room, which would Afterward he said: "lam going to build my friend Devine a $500,000 publishing honse, 20 stories high. I will then take Mayor Roche to the top floor, and drop him down the elevator shaft. All those in favor of throwing the Mayor down the elevator shaft say "aye," A unanimous aye was the response. The real sensation did not oome to light until to-day, when it wag stated that aha was charged with cruelty rot much less than that of Jesse Potaeroy. It is asserted that she tortured the infant child of Mr. Henderson beoauso she did not want to wait upon it, and she has confessed to smothering the baby because it oried when ■he tortured it. She has also confessed to setting the house on fire fire different times lately in the hopes of burning up the family. These attempts were discovered and the fire put out, but Miss Domorse was notsnspeoted at the time. She seems to enjoy the sensation she has made, and tells of repeated attempts to remove ths family. To this end not long ago sh« poisoned the cow, thinking the milk would kill the family before the cow died, and thus two birds would be slain, tor she says she bated the bovine.. Miss Demorse is 18 years old, and was adopted 13 years ago. Manistke, Mich., Ootober 13.—This place is terribly excited over disclosures made public to-day by the authorities, the facte for eome reason having been rappreeeed. The family of James Henderson are well-known and respected people. There have been whisperings for some time past about the singular oondaot of Miss'Minnie Demorse, the adopted daughter of the Henders6ns, bnt on aocount of the prominence of the family actions which in others would exoite attention have been passed by with only a tihrug of the shoulders. A mild sensation was caused last Tuesday by the arrest of Miss Demorse on the ostensible charge of laroeny. An Adapted DsiftMr Whs Mssh Is Han »■«■ TsWIy P>i»s>«<. a rnuu ran. tow Usitslptakiffsla.

The World says that a young man named Charles Franois Stair has now made a statement that he and his father, David Stair, with Oliver Smich, alias Cromwell, a well known criminal, and four men, Andrews, Thompson, Scott and Keeley, were the authors of the crime. They had procured impressions of all the looks in the building where the bank was looated and took advantage of when the building seemed deserted, to gain entranoe by false keys. N*w Your, Oot. IS.—11m World to-morrow will publish a twelve column confession by Charles Francii Stair concerning the murder of Cashier J. W.Barron, of the National Savings Bank at Dexter, Maine, on February 22,1878, and the robbery of the bank. The robbery and the death of Barron caused a great sensation at the time, and the mystery attending the matter haa never been oleared up. Barron waa found on the evening of that holiday, lying bleeding andunoonsoious in the bank vault. The door of the vault waa open, but the funds were untouohed, and only $200 in money and a $500 bond were missing from the cash drawer. The story waa started that Barron had oommitted suioide to avoid exposure of some misconduct toward the bank. Thia waa never proved, but the family of the dead man has suffered socially on account of the allegations. In opening the vault room door David Stair fonnd himself faoe to face with Barron, who had been to the coal closet and wasreturnig with a scuttle in one hand and a shovel in the other. The vault door was unlocked and the cashier was apparently arranging to oount the funds and verify his accounts. Stair at once struok him several blows with a slung shot,rendering him unoonsoious, and Cromwell then oame np and helped Stair gag and bind the senseless man. The robbers did not dare stay to ransack the vault. They took a key from Barron's pooket opened the cash drawer and took the loose cash and hurriedly fled. The other members of the gang had been on watch in and near the building, and on learning that the cashier had seen Stair decided to flee. Young Stair had waited a few miles away with a wagon. All found their way thither and drove to Solon, He., where they separated. They did not learn that Barron waa dead nntil the next day. Tonng Stair heard all the details of the robbery from his father and Cromwell. He believes that some of the gang started the story of Barron's defalcation in order to divert suspicion from themselves. Young Stair is under arrest at Franklin, Mass., where he made the confession. He was traced there by a detective from Maine. It is believed that the others involved will be oaptured. pwiMWWWifj #|nni« FITBLIflHXD KYXBY TRUTH IS ETERNAL PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1887. New York, Ootober 16.—Ou a narrow water bed, in one of the wards at the Long Island College Hospital, lies the body of a man who, while he is alive, still is practically dead. The faculties of the mind am all alive and keenly active, but his body and limbs are as dead as they ever will b«. The man suffers no pain bodily, but is doomed to die a horrible death, nnloss.his one chance in a thousand saves him. His name is Patrick Fineran, and while unloading a vessel recently he fell and fraotured three ribs, besides fracturing his •pine as is supposed. There is but one way to tell the nature of the injury, and nobody cares to try it. If you press your thnrab on that man's back, Immediately above the wound, and he lives, it proves that there was no fraoture ; but if there is a frao tnre he wouldn't live long enough for you to get your thumb away. This was 17 days ago and the man still lives, though his case was given up and death predicted in a few hoars after the aocident. Dr. F. II. Clark says the paralysis is due either to fracture or b|ood clot pressing on the spinal cord. If the latter, which is only one ohance in 1,000, the clot will be gradually absorbed and vitality restored. Dr. Clark said to-day : The living head attaohed to the dead body is attended constantly by Fiueran's daughter, who is devoted to her father. Benta oar Law out of Sight.

Little Rock, Akk., Oct. 10.—A heavy robbery of the Paoifio Express safs somewhere between Little Rock and Northern Texas, on the Iron Mountain road, ooourred several days ago. But few faets were only developed in a quiet way to-day. The robbed safe was one with a combination known only to agents at the principal stations. A few days ago, on reaohing Texarkania with his run, the messenger in charge of this had his way-bills elroked "O. K." He said he had to go to Dallas and see the Superintendent about some olaim. He went, returned, thenoe went to St. Louis and thence over to Illinois. Down in Texas a'oouple of days later the discovery was mads of the robbery. The amount is not exactly known, bnt it is estimated at $60,000. The agents here could not tell, but knew the sum was large. The name of the messenger whose absenoe caused suspicion to rest on him is J.B. Owens, one of the oldest and most trusted messengers in the servioe, and who recently delivered $150,000 safely. Sinoe the discovery of the robbery detectives have been searching for Owens, but thus far without success. The theory is that if he robbed the safe he was in collusion with some agent or elerk who knew the combination, which is carefully kept from messengeis.Mothers, give us a call.

Chicago, October IS.—The lfayor this morning directed the Polloa Department to lamuiily enppreee George Francis Train, and to not permit him to epeak again. If he make* any farther demonstration he will be taken to the lockup, and remain there until he can legally be adjudged insane and oommitted to a lunatic asylum. The largest audience he has yet had in the city greeted him last night, there being between 12,000 and 13,000 present. Many of those present were Simon-pore Anarchists, and it will be surprising if nothing more serious than laughter result* from Train's utterances. He beoame a little bold. When he said the police would not allow him to sell his paper, he dared them to stop him there, and when a score of those present jumped up and volunteered to sell his Anarchistic sheet, he supplied them with oopies, which were in a moment sold. His speech during the evening consisted of a few sentences on every topio that oame to his mind. He took a vote on the proposition to hang Jay Gould, and a unanimous "aye" was the result. After taking a similar vote on "all those in favor of the constitutional right to carry arms," he dared the polioe to arrest him. He oalled on Mrs. Parsons, and and for ten or fifteen minutes she harrangued the crowd. He promised to build for the workingmen of Chicago a hall, with a library and reading room, which would Afterward he said: "lam going to build my friend Devine a $500,000 publishing honse, 20 stories high. I will then take Mayor Roche to the top floor, and drop him down the elevator shaft. All those in favor of throwing the Mayor down the elevator shaft say "aye," A unanimous aye was the response. The real sensation did not oome to light until to-day, when it wag stated that aha was charged with cruelty rot much less than that of Jesse Potaeroy. It is asserted that she tortured the infant child of Mr. Henderson beoauso she did not want to wait upon it, and she has confessed to smothering the baby because it oried when ■he tortured it. She has also confessed to setting the house on fire fire different times lately in the hopes of burning up the family. These attempts were discovered and the fire put out, but Miss Domorse was notsnspeoted at the time. She seems to enjoy the sensation she has made, and tells of repeated attempts to remove ths family. To this end not long ago sh« poisoned the cow, thinking the milk would kill the family before the cow died, and thus two birds would be slain, tor she says she bated the bovine.. Miss Demorse is 18 years old, and was adopted 13 years ago. Manistke, Mich., Ootober 13.—This place is terribly excited over disclosures made public to-day by the authorities, the facte for eome reason having been rappreeeed. The family of James Henderson are well-known and respected people. There have been whisperings for some time past about the singular oondaot of Miss'Minnie Demorse, the adopted daughter of the Henders6ns, bnt on aocount of the prominence of the family actions which in others would exoite attention have been passed by with only a tihrug of the shoulders. A mild sensation was caused last Tuesday by the arrest of Miss Demorse on the ostensible charge of laroeny. An Adapted DsiftMr Whs Mssh Is Han »■«■ TsWIy P>i»s>«<. a rnuu ran. tow Usitslptakiffsla.

The World says that a young man named Charles Franois Stair has now made a statement that he and his father, David Stair, with Oliver Smich, alias Cromwell, a well known criminal, and four men, Andrews, Thompson, Scott and Keeley, were the authors of the crime. They had procured impressions of all the looks in the building where the bank was looated and took advantage of when the building seemed deserted, to gain entranoe by false keys. N*w Your, Oot. IS.—11m World to-morrow will publish a twelve column confession by Charles Francii Stair concerning the murder of Cashier J. W.Barron, of the National Savings Bank at Dexter, Maine, on February 22,1878, and the robbery of the bank. The robbery and the death of Barron caused a great sensation at the time, and the mystery attending the matter haa never been oleared up. Barron waa found on the evening of that holiday, lying bleeding andunoonsoious in the bank vault. The door of the vault waa open, but the funds were untouohed, and only $200 in money and a $500 bond were missing from the cash drawer. The story waa started that Barron had oommitted suioide to avoid exposure of some misconduct toward the bank. Thia waa never proved, but the family of the dead man has suffered socially on account of the allegations. In opening the vault room door David Stair fonnd himself faoe to face with Barron, who had been to the coal closet and wasreturnig with a scuttle in one hand and a shovel in the other. The vault door was unlocked and the cashier was apparently arranging to oount the funds and verify his accounts. Stair at once struok him several blows with a slung shot,rendering him unoonsoious, and Cromwell then oame np and helped Stair gag and bind the senseless man. The robbers did not dare stay to ransack the vault. They took a key from Barron's pooket opened the cash drawer and took the loose cash and hurriedly fled. The other members of the gang had been on watch in and near the building, and on learning that the cashier had seen Stair decided to flee. Young Stair had waited a few miles away with a wagon. All found their way thither and drove to Solon, He., where they separated. They did not learn that Barron waa dead nntil the next day. Tonng Stair heard all the details of the robbery from his father and Cromwell. He believes that some of the gang started the story of Barron's defalcation in order to divert suspicion from themselves. Young Stair is under arrest at Franklin, Mass., where he made the confession. He was traced there by a detective from Maine. It is believed that the others involved will be oaptured. pwiMWWWifj #|nni« FITBLIflHXD KYXBY TRUTH IS ETERNAL PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1887. New York, Ootober 16.—Ou a narrow water bed, in one of the wards at the Long Island College Hospital, lies the body of a man who, while he is alive, still is practically dead. The faculties of the mind am all alive and keenly active, but his body and limbs are as dead as they ever will b«. The man suffers no pain bodily, but is doomed to die a horrible death, nnloss.his one chance in a thousand saves him. His name is Patrick Fineran, and while unloading a vessel recently he fell and fraotured three ribs, besides fracturing his •pine as is supposed. There is but one way to tell the nature of the injury, and nobody cares to try it. If you press your thnrab on that man's back, Immediately above the wound, and he lives, it proves that there was no fraoture ; but if there is a frao tnre he wouldn't live long enough for you to get your thumb away. This was 17 days ago and the man still lives, though his case was given up and death predicted in a few hoars after the aocident. Dr. F. II. Clark says the paralysis is due either to fracture or b|ood clot pressing on the spinal cord. If the latter, which is only one ohance in 1,000, the clot will be gradually absorbed and vitality restored. Dr. Clark said to-day : The living head attaohed to the dead body is attended constantly by Fiueran's daughter, who is devoted to her father. Benta oar Law out of Sight.

Little Rock, Akk., Oct. 10.—A heavy robbery of the Paoifio Express safs somewhere between Little Rock and Northern Texas, on the Iron Mountain road, ooourred several days ago. But few faets were only developed in a quiet way to-day. The robbed safe was one with a combination known only to agents at the principal stations. A few days ago, on reaohing Texarkania with his run, the messenger in charge of this had his way-bills elroked "O. K." He said he had to go to Dallas and see the Superintendent about some olaim. He went, returned, thenoe went to St. Louis and thence over to Illinois. Down in Texas a'oouple of days later the discovery was mads of the robbery. The amount is not exactly known, bnt it is estimated at $60,000. The agents here could not tell, but knew the sum was large. The name of the messenger whose absenoe caused suspicion to rest on him is J.B. Owens, one of the oldest and most trusted messengers in the servioe, and who recently delivered $150,000 safely. Sinoe the discovery of the robbery detectives have been searching for Owens, but thus far without success. The theory is that if he robbed the safe he was in collusion with some agent or elerk who knew the combination, which is carefully kept from messengeis.Mothers, give us a call.
