A man named Kelly, who works for Mr.

Kip, and who was left to look after the premises, as he lived near by, was arrested and questioned. He said that three men named Robert Gerlach, Thomas Far rell and Thomas Kavanaugh, one of whom had once worked for Mr. Kip, had questioned hirs about Mr. Kip and asked where he was. Kelly told them that he had gone to Falls with his family.

The' men knew that Kelly didn't live very near Mr. Kip's house and therefore the watch he would keep over the house wouldn't be strict. A description of the men was sent out. Specials Taylor and Hayes captured them, but Farrell broke. away and went to Canada.

TAR AND FEATHERS. The Men Who Were So Free With Them at Bridgeport All in Trouble.

BRIDGEPORT, Sept. 22. -Complaints have been made against five of the men who were engaged in the Houston tarring and feathering exploit. Since the occurrence there has been a revulsion of public feeling on the subject and it is doubtful whether Houston was guilty of the crimes charged against him. First among the men indicted is Michael McNamara, who had a personal quarrel with Houston, who lived under the same roof with him, McNamara was reported as saying that he was present at the tarring but took no part in it.

He denies that he said all that was attributed to him and says he can prove that he was not present at the perpetration of the outrage. He will be closely examined. KILLED BE THE CARS.

PITTSBURG, Sept. high officials of the organization it is learned that the order of Knights of Labor is in great danger of being dissolved, or that at least so many members will withdraw from it that it will drop to pieces. The trouble began with dissatisfaction in this city some months ago with C.

Rankin, Grand Master Workman of District Assembly No. 3. It became a fight between Grand Secretary Layton and Rankin, and the feud was carried into the meeting of the Grand Assembly in Cincinnati. Rankin won the fight and not only succeeded in having Layton, candidate for secretary defeate1 but had the office of Assistant Secretary abolished. All his candidates for officers were elected and a new government of the order was established through an executive board.

Frank K. Foster of Cambridge, who was chosen chairman of Executive Board and who has more power than Grand Master Workman Powderly, is the most active free trade advocate among representative labor men in the country. It is claimed that this change was wrought through a combination of the socialists and communists as represented by the New York delegates, the free trade element and the Rankin delegation. It is claimed that Rankin has completely alienated the members of the order in Pittsburg, which is really the head and center of the organization, and that within a short time nearly all, if not all, the local assemblies here will withdraw from the order.

He was educated in the University of Vienna, and came to this city in 1867, and has taught in the Williamsville Academy at Aurora, and recently at Maple Grove Seminary, Tonawanda. Very Bad Failure.

Lapham and Hampden Robb the Likely Men for Comptroller. TO THE EVENING NEW YORK, Sept, 28. -Otsego county will send to the Buffalo convention Stephen R. Stewart, Samuel A. Brown and John- K.

Leaning. The Democrats of this county. have passed resolutions indorsing Governor Cleveland's administration, and followed the lead of Delaware and Cortland counties in declaring their preference for Hon. Isaac Maynard for Secretary of State. Maynard is developing unusual strength, and his friends here are elated over his prospects.

It is believed that other counties will shortly declare for him, and that Alfred C. Chapin, Speaker of the Assembly, and J. Hampden Robb are therefore off the track for this important place, although their names are freely mentioned in connection with the State Comptrollership. Robb was a member of the Assembly a few years ago, and made a brilliant record. He is yet a young man, lives in New York city, was appointed by Governor Cleveland a member of the Niagara Falls Commission, and is Secretary of the Commission.

George H. Lapham of Penn Yan, Yates county, and Senstor Mackin of Orange, are also aspirants for the nomination of Comptroller, but the situation looks here as if the contest lies be tween Robb and Lapham. The latter gentleman is well known throughout the State and his nomination would give satisfaction to the party. State Treasurer Maxwell, it seems to be conceded, will be renominated according to the sensible idea of retaining a worthy officer where he has done good service. Maxwell is the only man who was elected on the Democratic State ticket of 1881.

There is a little opposition to him down in Niagara county owing to a canal appointment, but Maxwell, according to the latest figures, can afford to lose the Niagara, support, for he has already at his back enough strength to indicate that he will receive the nomination almost unanimously, The Democrats of Albany will come up strong, and Troy will also send large contingents. The New York factions held their primaries last evening, and among the delegates will be such representative men. as Andrew H. Green, Chas. F.

Wise people are prepared for these things, and are never without a bottle of Perry Davis' Pain Killer on hand. A few drops of this applied internally will set the most summer-complaining stomach to rights.

A series of afflictions has befallen Water Commissioner James Ryan, the last being the death early this morning of his youngest daughter, Miss Nellie Ryan.

Three deaths have thus occurred within the week in Mr. Ryan's family. On Sunday his daughter, Miss Emma, died after a protracted illness, on Thursday his wife, Julia, died, aged 44 years. Mre. Ryan's health had for some time been very poor, and Emma's death hastened hers.

She had been married 26 years, Her funeral was announced to occur tomorrow at 8 A. M. from the family residence, 494 Prospect avenue, and an hour later from St. Bridget's Church. Nellie, who died this morning, has for long time been on the verge of dissolution and news of her mother's death was carefully kept from her.

Her disease was slow consumption and she was 16 years of age. This death caused a change in the funeral rangements, and mother and daughter will be buried together and the same obsequies suffice for both. The time and place are as given above. Mr. Ryan is generally sympathized with in his sad affliction.

The deaths were perhaps not wholly unexpected, for all three had for some time been in such poor health that their ultimate recovery was despaired of. There are still living five sons and two daughters, POLITICAL POINTERS. They are letting cots now at the Genesee. Colden Democrats elect State Convention delegates today.

Good; and as Governor Cleveland is of the same opinion, the prospects of discord at the convention grow beautifully less.
