Boston, April 19.—Plymouth White, alias Frank Parke, alias "Plinn White," the most notorious confidence man of the country, who was fired out of Boston a year ago, left again of his own accord, having successfully wonted a six months' job under the noses of the polio? Last July, Ivory Hezleton, a retired engineer, with money to invest, came to Boston and o;wned a lodging house at lit\ 1 Lyman street, renting the place of ex- Police Commissioner Jenks.

BEE%HER TALKS ABOUT DEMO- a rommlttM of On*. Cathedral's Steps Washington, April 19.—Congressman Willis, of Kentucky, In an Interview, explains how Mrs. Thompson came to be appointed postmistress at Louisville. There was a spirited contest and vigorous scramble for the position. In all there were about forty applicants, many of them strongly indorsed. President Cleveland intimated to Mr. Willis that his advice would be acceptable, but the Kentucky congressman found it a difficult matt* r at the outset to decide upon the right person, so he waited till after all the indorsements were in and waded through the mass of testimony. Ho found Mrs. Thompson indorsed by the leading Democrats of Louisville, bankers, merchants and lawyers, Democrats and Republicans; by the chairman of the state Democratic committee ; by twenty-six out of the thirty-six state senators and Senator Beck. The other applicants were well recommended, and Mr_ Willis says he had never a greater temptation iu his life to support some of his old friends among the candidates who would have been of far more service to him politically, had he desired such allies, than any woman in the world could be; but he felt it his duty to sink personal considerations  select the candidate whose appointment would do the most good to the Democratic party and to Mr. Cleveland, and one who would be the most acceptable to the citv of Louisville. So after much hesitation and deliberation ho recommended Mrs. Thompson. Mr. Wilis says Mrs. Thompson is and has always been a Democrat She was left a widow with four children just when the Democrats thought they had elected Tilden, and the DC*mocrats of Louisville, knowing her to be a. lady of worth, honor and fine executive ability, about that time indorsed her for the position she now holds, and intended to present her name to Mr. Tilden. Mr. Tilden, he says, was counted out, and Mrs. Thompson substituted the name of Mr. Hayes instead of Mr. Tilden in the petition, and she was appointed by that gentleman. . CRATS AND THE PRESIDENT. Washington, April 19 —Senator Sawy»r, of Wisconsin, is a great favorite in the senate. The Capital tells a story about him which {3 worth repeating aa an instance of tus liberality and general worth. It say*: Not long ago, when Senator Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, went home, Mr. Sawyer volunteered to take his place on the pension committee, a place that no one wantod, and as soon as he was warm in his seat he said to the other members: "Now, you fellows are busy and the beat thing you can do is to turn over all the pension bills to me. I've got a lot of clerks who are idle and It would be a godsend to give them something to do." The other members of the committee* were surprised at the offer, but accepted it, and Mr. Sawyer sent a wagon load of papers from the committee room to his house, where he has clerks at work under the direction of Dr. Kempgter, his private family physician, making up the cases, and the room they occupy looks like a division of the pension bureau. Every evening Mr. Sawyer sits in chambers like a court of claims. The cases that are made up during the day are read to him and he decides whether they shall be reported adversely or favorably.

The committee has received replies from three resident directors, namely, Messrs. Hoxie, H. S. Hayes and R. J. Lackland, and they all discourage the scheme, saying that there is nothing to arbitrate. New York, April 19.—Tho Brooklyn Sunday Ensile published the following interview with Hjniy Ward Bsecher: In Fpain—Policemen Save the llh of tke Assassin from the Hob. Madrid, April 19.—At 10:80 yesterday morning, as the bishop of Madrid was ascending the broad steps of the cathedral on his way to celebrate mass, a priest, who was standing at the top of the steps, near the entrance to the edifice, drew a revolver and ffred two shots at him. At the first shot the bishop sank to the steps with a bullet in his abdomen, and the second ball, which Immediately followed the first, wounded him in the side. The priest then descended the steps, firing as ho advanced, and before he could be seised again wounded the bishop, *ki« Hma in the thigh. The bishop was unconscious when raised in the arms of his attendants, and was carried to his private chamber in the cathedral. There he was found to be in a dying condition and the last "I haven't read that newsparD»r interview which was telegraphed from 'i Ago," said Mr. Beecher, "but if, as you uiy, I am quoted as characterizing the Democratic party as a double-eared ass, I am willing to stand by the statement and to amplify and enlarge it if necessary. To tell you the truth, I dont Jx'lieve that a more contemptibly asinine exhibition has ever been shown on any stage than that which is now being enacted by the duly accredited representatives and mouthpieces of the Democratic party. On the one hand we see a brave, honest man, imperturbable, sticking steadfastly to the spirit and letter of his words and his promises, obstinate in right doing, misled on occasions by those whom, in the natural course of things, he wm called upon to trust, seeking steadfastly and with the best faith and the best light that is ill him to carry out the pledges he has made an 1 to obey the laws he has sworn to administer, with convictions daeper than his shallow critics dare penetrate, and a loyalty to honorable obligations more steadfast and sterling than the everlasting hills. Who are they who sneeringly and secretly scoff at his actions, and characterize his adherence to pledges as base ingratitude)" Hezleton walked right into the net. He loaned Wuite various small turns, and finally, ten days ago, gave him $3,038, all his available m oney, taking as security $5,000 worth of alleged Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and Lehigh Valley bonds. Through Hezleton's influence John W. Tuesley, another retired engineer, and his sister, were induced to loan White $860 on a demand note, and a promise of $3,000 worth of stock Friday, White got the securities of Mrs. Hezleton on pretense of examining them, and was about to skip, wuen Hezleton happened iu, locked the door, and threatened to kill White if he didn't return every cent White laughed him down, and got off by handing Ht zleton $1,000 cash and two $1,000 notes made out to White by his brother. Ilozjeton was so ashanud of having suspected so honorable a man that he loaned back $208 of the money. A. R. Moore, of Brockton, Mass., has been here as a representative of District assembly No. 80, which includes Massachusetts and a part of New Hampshire. His mission was to obtain information as to the situation of affairs here, and return and report east. It is expected that the strikers will got several thousand dollars from eastern assembli s iu consequence of Mr. Moore's visit here. Four militia companies have arrived in East St. Louis from Peoria, Farmington, Carthage and Delavan, to take the places of the troops from Decatur, Paris, Nashville and Springfield, who are sent home. John W. Hayes, member of the general executive committee, Knights of Labor, left here last night for Washington, where it is supposed he will meet Mr. Powderly. Last week he reported to the 1 enate sixtyfour pension bills, the biggest batch on record, and every claim had bean thoroughly Investigated and was accompanied by a written report, setting forth the facts. Ail of the clerks are paid by Mr. Sawyer out of hia own pocke,t and tiere need be no wonder that the other senators are fond of him. sacraments were administered to him. It being Pabn Sunday there was an immense croWd both in and around the cathedral, and the presence of a few policemen, who immediately rescued the assassin from the hands of the infuriated people, prevented a riot and saved the priest'B life. The prisoner was at once placed in a carriage and hurried to jail The carriage was followed by an immense crowd of excited people and several attempts were made by them to get possesion of the priest and lynch him, but the gendarmes succeeded in getting him safely to the jail The motive for the crime was revenge.ARRESTED FOR INTIMIDATION The striko is at a standstill here. The strikers made no demonstration of any kind. There was no interference with the movement of trains reported on either sid9 of the river, and there were only two arrests by the military in East St. Louis. One was a case of drunkenness and the other was one of intimidation, a switchman named Frank Dickerson being arrested for threatening an engineer 011 the Belt Line. He was put in the gucrl house and lockel up with the seven men arrested Friday. The guard house is a box car on a side track, and is generally kept full of prisoners. Nine men arrested, who claimed to be railroad men looking for employment, were turned out to make room for new prisoners, in case there should be any. Since then White failed to materialize, and the facts were laid before the authorities. Hezleton is out $2,241 iu cash and five weeks' lDoard bill, besides small sums loaned, and the Tuesleys lose $860, which is all the spare change they had. SCENE OF THE CYCLONE. "Do you conclude then that the subject of civil service reform is the most pressing question of the day?" Workmen Removing Debris and the Hungry Fed By Charity. White has made $1,000,000 by swindling since 1S49, and has crossed the ocean sixteen times to escape arrest. -I do most decidedly. Tho silver question but touches the pockets of our people. A reform in the revenue laws, 110 matter how imperatively demandod, is yet not the most momentous or pressing. To my mind, indeed, this one matter of filling the offices with competent men, and leaving them thore while they remain efficient and honest, is the overshadowing issue of the day. When we see the demoralization that money has wrought in our politics, the threatened clean sweep that a victorious party would inaugurate if it oould, and the large interests that are involved, it seems to me tha'. the time has come for a rational and business like settlement of this quostion. That Mr. Cleveland views the subject in the light of reason and common sense, must be apparent to alL His cabinet advisors, too, are, I think, inclined to look upon the public service not as a political machine, nor as a refuge for partisans. Indeed, 1 would not have . a moment's hesitation about voting for Bayard if he were nominated for president to-morrow. Sauk Rapids, April 19.—Workmen are clearing tho debris, and owners are preparing to rebuild stores and residences. Four more victims have been buried. The wounded are cared for in a temporary hospital, formerly the county building, under the care of Dr. Dunn, of Minneapolis, who says the medical emergency is fully met. What Is now wanted is money and clothing. Eighty are at present taken caro of. Caroline Hart had an arm amputated at the shoulder, and Mrs. Gangkop, who received internal lnjaries, ia not expected to live. Miss Lulu Carpenter, who died Friday, was injured by a splinter that ran through her breast. CONDEMNING STRIKES. Railway Conductors Congratulate Tltoir MONTREAL FLOODED. Brothers In the West. The bishop is still alive, though slight hope of his recovery is entertained. The priest who shot the bishop attempted to commit suicide in prison, but was prevented by his guards. It has been ascertained that he was recently dismissed from his parish for some infraction of church rules and had fruitlessly applied to the bishop for reinstatement Bewoming drsperate he sought to revenge himself by killing the prelate. Streets Filled with Water and People Without Food. Elm iRA, N. Y.f April li).—-The following resolutions were adopted by the Elmira division of the Order of Railway Conductors: Montreal, April 19.—The annual spring flood this year has been tho most disastrous in the history of the city, and business men say that millions of dollars will not cover the loss. The water at midnight came up with a rush, and in a few minutes the greater part of the business district was inundated. St. Paul street was covered to the depth of fire feet, and the other leading business streets were in like condition. The water continued rising steadily, and the greater part of St. Antoine, Notre Dame and Bonaventure streets are flooded. Craig street and Jurors ai-e covered for a quarter of a mile, and tho sidewalks of the intersecting streets are floating. The whole of the- lower portion of the west end is under water, and the people have had to take refuge in the upper flats. Their condition is precarious, as thoy arc without food or fire, and up to the present nothing has been done to relieve them. The walls of some of the buildings, too, are not overstrong, and may give way. Resolved, That we extend greeting and commend the manly action, the steadfastness to principle and the prestige thereby given to the Order ot Railway Conductors in maintaining its principles by the brothers of the order employed on the Missouri Pacific system of railroads in refusing to join in and discountenancing the striko which has been in progress in that section to the detriment of both employe and employer. Considerable switching was done 011 both sides of the river and the bridge did a good business. Judge Collins, finding certain men drinking and making trouble, ordered all saloona closed until further orders. The hungry are given free mealB at two hotels, and the relief committee is receiving package* by every train. All the homeless have been provided for and the relief committee is hard at work doing all needed good. The deputy sheriffs who did the shooting at Cahokia bridge ten days ago will be taken to Belleville, Ills, under military protection next Tuesday. They wilfpas; through East St. Louis on the Louisville and Nashville road. SMALL RIOT IN BOSTON, Resolved,"That believiug arbitration to be the only and proper method, to pursue on matters of grievance*, we condemn strikes and assert further that they are invariably ill-advised, gotten up by agitators, Socialists, incendiaries and demagogues, rather than by the representatives of honest labor. A Policeman Shot With nil Own Gun. THE LAKE SHORE SWITCHMEN'S STRIKE. Chicago, April 10.—The striking Lake Shore and Michigan Southern switchmen wero peaceably incline I, and there was no disorder at the yards of that company. The officials of the road ordered the freight engines out early in the day, and the engineers took them Out, but there was no one 011 hand to man tha switches, and therefore nc freight was handled. The strikers and quite a large crowd of sympathizers watched things at the yards closely all day, and caused some delay to several cars which came in on the Fort Wayno road consigned to the Lake Shore. Members of the Switch1 men's union who were present induced the crowd from hindering the further progress of the cars after a short time. A FATAL SUNDAY WALK. Boston, Haas., April 19.—Between 4 and 5 p. m yesterday as Officer Jeremiah R, Sullivan, of station 6, wag passing an alley near the corner of B andC Second streets, Michael Me- Govern came out with an ax on his shoulder and began to abuse the officer. The officer remonstrated with him. The man began to make threatening gestures and tho officer attempted to arrest him. John Sullivan, a citi■en, came up to assist the officer and took the ax away from McGovern. A crowd gathered and two, men, one giving the name of Thomas Lanergen, but who is known to be one Kendlick, pitched upon the ofHcer and knocked him down. ' "How about Mr. Manning?" "Yes, Mr. Manning, too, and I don't think I would stop even at Mr. Whitney." Louis Praeger Crosses the Track Before a Flying Train, k Baltimore, April 19.—Louis Praeger, a merchant, met with a horrible death at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He and his 13- year-old daughter were out walking, and in their meandering* came upoa the railroad tracks, about a mile outside the city limits. After walking u short distance on the track they were startled by the rushing of * passenger train behind- They endeavored to escape, but too late. The engine struck Mr. Praeger in the back, just as be was stepping across the rail, holding bis child at arm's length in front of him. The wheels passed over bis abdomen and thighs, mangling him in a horrible way. He died on the way to the city hospital. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolutions bo sent to* every division along 1 he line of railways contiguous to the Missouri Pacific system of railroads, as well as "Were you correctly quoted iA the Chicago interview in which you were made to say thai you never accused Mi-.

His face iB looked almost to a jelly, and he is all cut up. His wounds may prove fatal. A crowd of many thousand people gathered at the scene lie fore the row ended. The strikers, at a meeting, decided to allow four cars consigned to the Nickel Plata to be taken out of the yards. Yardniastor Maskel said to a reporter that the company did not propose to run trains by the aid of new mon, though advertisements appeared in the morning papers calling for men to apply at the yards for work. Duxbcky, Mass , April 19.—Stephen N. Gilford, the venerable clerk of the state senate, died suddenly Sunday, of pneumonia, aged 71). He was serving his twenty-ninth consecutive year as clerk of the senate, and for several years previous to his first election was assistant clerk; prior to that he served one term in the house; he was an historic figure in this state, was an official of the old fashioned pattern, simple, plain and unassuming. His clerkships extend back to the Know-Nothing legislature, and ho sat athiD desk and made the records during the administration of Governors Banks and Boutwell, and all through the civil war and reconstruction periods. Ha recorded Sumner's election, wrote down the famous battle flag resolu tions of censure on that senator. He later helped to expunge them, and recorded resolutions on hi* death. He helped inaugurate every living governor, and many who are dead. His knowledge of parliamentary practice was immense, and he was better pbsted on written Massachusetts history than any other man. ..

"What have you got against Governor Hill J" The Switchmen's union has not as yet indorsed the action of the strikers, but it is believed will do so if such support is required. The strikers say emphatically that whenever overtures are made must be made by the company. "In his private relations I am quite sure Mr. Hill is irreproachable, but he is a trimming politician, who, if 1*3 would not sell his influence for money, would use illegitimate means to secure votes. I have good reason to know that in Elmira this fact if patent." SBtnrday'a Fog Brought the £ros to Grief off J erne j Shore. SECRETARY LAMAR'S VISIT. Long Branch, N. J., April 10.— Superln-- tendent of Life Saving Station John W. 0. Havens has arrived hare from the scene of the stranding of the British steamship Ens. He reports the steamer lying in any easy position wi h good chances of floating on the next high tide, or being pulled oil by the Merritt Wrecking company's tug, which came to her assistance. The steamship struck the beach in Saturday morning's fog just south of life Baving station No. 18, and lies between Loveladies island and Harvey's cedars. Capt. Martin, the commander of the Eros, was tuken from the ship by the life saving station No. 18 crew, and, after sending Come dispatches to Simpson & Co., New York, the lessees of the vessel, was put on board again. The wind has blown continuously from the east, and a x.orm is looked for ill which the steamer may tare badly. As both the captain and crew refuse to come ashore two life lines have been stretched from the beach to the steamer, which can be manned instantly and the crew brought ashore in case a storm should spring up. The vessel will be closely watched by the life saving crew. The Humor of Matrimonial Intentions Denied. Macon, Go., April 1U.—The Tclt*Taph of says: For obvious reasons we hesitated to notice a matter whioh Is engaging the attention of the press of the oquntry. Even now we hesitate. That the visit of Secretary Lamar to hi* old home and relations thouitl be the occasion of a newspaper sensation was an unworthy reception of him; that it should have been'Beized upon to defy the traditional chivalry and ho pitality of this section by wounding the sensibilities of a modest and much honored wornan is coarse, indecent and indefensible. We have the best reasons to know that a social visit has been perverted by newsmongers, and that there is no foundation in fact for the report* circulated as to the secretary's matrimonial intention any more than there is excuse for th« hreaoh of good manners. THE HEBREW PASSOVER. "Comparatively, don't you believe that Mr. Cleveland owes as much to the par.y that elevated him as Mr. Hill does, and should be equally ready to liquidate the obligations!" How the Feast Will Ilo Celebrated lDy New Yobk, April 19.—This is the first day of the Hebrew year, 2,198, and the first day of the Jewish Passover.

By 10 o'clock In the morning it is all removed from the home, and in the evening, after the service at the synagogue, the whole family sit around the table to hear the Hazadah, or narration of the miraculous evonts connected with the exodus from Egypt. tlie Israelites. "Mr. Cleveland owes nothing to the Democratic party. He was nominated because he was the most available man, not from any affection which the party bore him. He was electoJ mainly through the efforts of Independent Republicans, and yet these men pi)t forward no claim for office or reward. I could not be induced to ask Mr. Cleveland to appoint a man to a place for me, and if I did help any person this way, my first and only concern would be the public interest." LOGAN'S REVENGE Mil a Mavor Who Kefused to Preserve Washington, April 1ft—Gen. Logan ia determined to prevent the confirmation of 'internal Revenue Collector Cooper, of Pekin, Ilia.

Philadelphia, April 19.—A committee of the surviving members of the state constitutional convention of 18T2 has issued an address to the people of Pennsylvania asking that members of the legislature be chosen at the next general election, who will pledge themselves to enforce the provisions of the new constitution by appropriate legislation, a matter ' wfich every legislature since its adoption has ovaded. In this constitution changes were made relating to private corporations, railroads and canals, intended to limit companies enjoying corporate franchises to the purposes for which they were created, and to impose upon them such wholesome and jiecessary restrictions as seemed needful to protect the individual interests of citizens and communities as wfeli as stockholders from oppression and injustice. Provisions were made forbidding undue and unreasonable discrimination in charters for freight and passengers, and against the consolidation or control of parallel or competing railroads or canals.
