Well Other Crimes. Chicago. Aug. 81. An afternoon paper prints the following from Monroe, The most dastardly crime ever recorded In the history of Monroe County, occurred late Saturday afternoon and tne most Insane excitement prevail 3 as a result of It.

John Wilkinson and his wife were Brutally tortured and murdered by two tramps, who found the aged couple alone upon their farm. The tramps went to the farm house begging for something to eat, and finding Wlltlnson end his wife alone, with the exception of a 10-year-old boy, they attempted to torture them and compel them to reveal the hiding place of their supposed wealth. They knocked them down, cut great gashes In their faces with knives, and kicked and otherwise abused them. The terrified boy In the meantime escaped and gave an alarm. A posse of neighbors started to the rescue, but when they reached the house the couple were dead, having bled to death from the terrible wounds Inflicted by the fiends.

The tramps were sighted near Maydee Station and both were shot down by the Infuriated citizens. The bodies were completely riddled with bullets. The murderers were strangers In the county. The remains were viewed by the Coroner. The old couple were well-to-do and highly respected citizens.

CREATED A SENSATION. THE BOBBEKY THE BAKK OF EXGLAITD. Aug. SI- A dispatch from Genoa which arrived last night Is creating a sensa tloa In newspaper offices and elsewhere. It states that an Englishman, name unknown, called at the office of a money changer, Elg.

Ghlsoll, and asked him to change a 1,000 Bank of England note. 61g. Ghlsoll, fearing that the note might have formed part or a recent Bank of Eng land robbery to the extent ot 250.000, took down a list of the numbers of the stolen notes in order to compare them with that of the note offered. When he did this the Englishman walked out and disappeared, leaving the 1,000 note behind him. The Genolse police are looking for him and have already notified the police authorities In London.

This Is the first public Information here that such a robbery had occurred and the Scotland Tard officials, so far as can be discovered, either profess Ignorance of such robbery, or decline to commit themselves. Newspaper editors are much concerned at the possibility that a great sensation has been kept secret hitherto toy the bank officials and the detective police, as nothing whatever la publicly known here of such a robbery. It is, however, considered possible that the dispatch from Genoa may refer to the theft of a satchel from the Bank of Scotland containing 90,000. Tet this took place six months ago, while the telegram describes the Bank of England robbery as of recent occurrence and sets the figure at 250,000. PEKIED BT THE CASHIER.

The cashier of the Bank of England declares that there Is no truth whatever In the rumor circulated last night to the effect that the bank had been robbed of a very large Eum of money. A DASTARDLY DEED. ATTEMPT TO WBECK A TEATS OS THE BrBLIKG-TOS KEAB LOUISIANA. Louisiana, Aug. 31.

81. Detectives arrived from Cleveland this morning with James Anderson, the widely tnown prisoner, whose sensational arrest and still more sensational escape from the Hamilton County Jail has given him prominence. Anderson was suspectedof being a burglar. His house on lTlce Hill was watched and one night an at -tempt was made to capture him and a confederate. Anderson and the policemen both used revolvers.

The confederate escaped. Anderson was shot In the leg and sent to Jail to await trial. SIX weets ago he escaped. JCvery effort was made to show that he had broken Jail, but It was discovered that he had been liberated by money, and four Jail officials have been discharged. Chief of j-ouce ieitsch, tnowlng that Anderson was passionately fond of his wife and babies, has tept a close watch on them.

When they went to Cleveland Saturday night he caused aetective to follow, and when Anderson lamuy ne was asrested. Anderson declares he will not betray his liberators In the jail, though he does not deny that he oougni nis ireeaom. ne says the proposition was made to him and he accepted It. He will be returned to Jail. It Is probable be may again ouy nis uoerty, not with money, but with Information leading to the eonrii.

Some of the methods employed to dereat ouara were atrocious. One of the stories they circulated was that I had 6ent a circular letter to every county urging that none but Democrats be selected as delegates. This did Mr. Wollard much harm and helpel considerably to bring about his defeat. When this matter was brought before the convention Mr.

Wollard denounced It as a falsehood. It was then too late, however, to undo the mischief. Before that convention met, I tnew that the Sub-Treasury plant of ths Ocala platform would never be adopted. I ascertained It In this way: Weets before the convention wrote to the Secretary of every County Alli ance astlng the position of each delegate and he instructions given him. I received re plies from all but one or two.

and these con vinced me that the sub-treasury section of the Ocala demands never would be adopted. I tnew that If the delegates tnew Leonard's third party and sub-treasury proclivities he would not have been chosen, and the same can be said with reference to the delegates to the Satlonal Couventlon. The Leonara men owe much to Sam Boyden of Newton County for his election. He was the brains of the outfit, and he proved himself a stilled general. They bounded him with the meanest kind of in gratitude.

He was nominated as a delegate to the National Convention and they defeated him, In return for ef forts against Hall and Wollard. It was a blow below the belt, but be proved his allegiance to their cause by staying with them, despite the ugly dose he had to swallow. "Do you tbint the National Convention will Indorse the third party?" Mr. Morton was asked. "That is my opinion," he replied, "and the Missouri delegates will in all probability vote that way Do as they please they can never get a majority of the Missouri Alliance to fly off at such a tangent.

A large majority of the farmers of Missouri, who are in this organization, will never fall Into any such arrangement." What would have resulted if the conven tion nad Indorsed the sub-treasury plant?" ine Alliance would certainly suffer if such action had been taken. There were dele gates there Instructed by their county organ izations to draw out and surrender the charter of every lodge they represented in the event of the adoption of the sub-treasury scaems Mnica means imra parry. A3 it is now the Alliance is in a good condition, and will remain so until these third party advo cates mace another attempt to make the party a new political organization." TIKE8 DELIGHTED. L. B.

They did not do this out of any fear that the anti-sub-treasury men would bolt the organization, but simply to have everything lair and satisfactory to all the memoers," "Aretha sub-treasury men all In favor of tne imra party?" "I am glad you asked me that question as it gives me an opportunity to say that such an impression is unfounded and absurd.

It oy no means indicates that the third party is to be indorsed. The farmers have oeen studying this ouesuon and a great majority of them favor the sub-treasury idea.

Conflicting Opinions of Alliance Leaders as to the Third Party. LEASEES Or BOTH FACTI0ITS HAVE THTIB SAY OH THE SUBJECT. Editor Morton Insists That the Sub-Treasury Advocate Are Working1 Sot the Indorsement oi the People's Party, and Editor Dines Mates a Denial Echoes From the Late Convention. Does sub-treasury absolutely mean third party? This is the question that is giving great concern to the Farmers Alliance members of Missouri of Democratic proclivities. The opponents of that portion of the Ocala platform, which demands the establishment of sub-treasuries for the relief of the farmers Insist that it means third party outright, while the Leonard men claim that It does not.

The doings of the convention which ad journed Saturday evening at Pertle Springs certainly leaves the Missouri Allan ce in a pe culiar shape. The convention elected a sub- treasury and third party man for President, and all but one or two of the other officers selected entertain the same views as Leverett Leonard, Hall's successor. The convention went further and selected five delegates of sub-Treasury Inclinations to represent the State Alliance at the coming National Convention which meets at Indian apolis. It put an exceedingly odd crown on all this wort when it repeated that portion of the Ocola platform demanding the enact ment of a sub-Treasury law. The convention went counter to Hall until the last minute, and then It agreed with him that it would be better to remand the sub-treas ury question to the various county organlza tlons.

The reason of this seemingly strange action has already been explained. The sub treasury and third party men feared that the adoption of that plant would tear the State organisation to pieces, and to avoid conflict they refrained from rubbing it in too deeply on the Hall men. The threat had been made that sub-treasury meant division, and Leonard not caring to have the Alliance split up into factions, used his lnflu ence to chert his victorious followers. WILL COXTIKTE THE FIGHT. APost-Dispatch representative this morn lng saw Mr.

George B. Morton, the editor and proprietor of the Jnurnal of Agriculture the late organ of the Missouri Alliance. The paper has vigorously supported Hall and the anti-sub-treasury leaders and has persls tentiy fought the third party movement. The considered it guilty or "pernicious activity" and before tha convention adjourned, they "dehorned" it. to use the expression of Farmer Sam Boyden of sewton County, who led the fight for the Leonard faction.

The convention voted to give its proceedings to the papers connected with the Reform Press Association of Mis souri. Speatlng on this subject this morning Mr. Morton said: The Journal of Agriculture will continue to nght the sub -treasury and third party crowd, organ or no organ. The Reform Press Association is supporting the third party as well as the sub- treasury, and I don't think the managers of these publica tions will deny it. I am in possession of the facts and I tnow whereof I speak I attend ed the convention at Pertle Springs, and Uke Mr.

Hall I went there to do all In my power to defeat the third party and sub-treasury men, and I was of course pleased to see that plant In the O'Cala platform rejected. If It had been adopted trouble would certainly have fol- iowea. in mis connection I want ntxj iu iuw convention was not entirely in the hands of tne sud-treasury crowa.

A Destructive Blaze on Second and Anglerodt Streets. TWO 'W0SKMEK KAEK0WET ESCAPE WITH THEIB LIVES. One of Them Has the Hair Burned From His Head The Origin ot the Fire Unknown Thonght to Have Started in the Boiler-Xtoom The Loss and Insurance.

When the engines reached the mill It was completely wrapped in flames and Xiedrlnghaus rolling mill across Angelrodt street had caught. A sec ond alarm was immediately turned in bringing out the 9's, 13's, 12's and IS's.

The sawmill, a one-story structure, was doomed, and the efforts of the department were directed to saving the Xiedrlnghaus rolling-mill and preventing the fire from spreading. The grounds of the sawmill occupy the square bounded by Angelrodt, Second, Hall and Buchanan streets and a large amount of hardwood logs were stored. The estimated amount runs up Into millions of feet. These were all saved. The Xiedrlnghaus mill escaped with a slight scorching on the south gable.

The building caught fire on the inside once. but lines of hose were run in and the flames chected. The fact that the foundry is supplied with a well equipped apparatus for extinguishing nre wnicn was brought into use aided largely in saving the building. Aeany not xuiiy i.uuu men wouta have been thrown out of employment had the Xiedrlnghaus mill burned. Two hundred and fifty are employed at the mill.

Har rington, the Chief of the weather Bureau, has arranged a system ot wnisue comDina tlons by means of which persons living at distance from tbe railroads can receive the forecasts. By repeating each combination a few times, with an Interval of ten seconds between, possibilities of error in reading the forecasts wui te avoided, sucn as may arise iroxn variable winas or lauure to near tne warning signal. As the weather forecasts are telegraphed dally to a large number of stations of the eatner to railroads, various sections of the country, there are many small towns which may obtain them by telephone, free of expense; they may also be obtained from the dally newspapers. Those desiring to display or sound the signals, and who are not able to obtain the as above, can communicate direct with tne di rector or tne weather oureau, ana 11 it is impracticable for the Culted States to bear the expense of transmission they will be lurnisneu at tne regular commercial rata ana 6eni -coueciea.
