JONES RIDICULES. KOLB.
Alabama‘s Present “Governor Declares
Gates’ Election-Is Beyond Dispute.
MONTGOMERx, Ala.,'Nov. 2‘8.—-—In view
of the sensational utterances given to the
press by the Populist‘CQngressman Elect
E ward of the state and some correspond-
em as to what Kolbj and? his 20,000 fol-
lowers would do herenext Saturday Gov~
ernor Jones stated his views today as to
the prospect of any disorder that day. He
said: "There will not be the slightest dis-
turbance on inauguration day for two
good reasons. First, there is no cause for
challenging thejresult of the election as
declared by the official count. Many of
the most intelli'gent'Bopulists and Repub-
lican leaders admit that Colonel Oates is
elected. If everysnegro vote in the black
belt was stricken-cut and only the white
- vote counted; Oates would have a hand-
some majority. ? The cryof fraud to an
extent vitiating the result is a mere sham
urged for ulterior political operations.
The opposition are not looking in courage,
but they cannot’- be gulled into insurreo‘
tion on anyflsuch pretense as the defeated
candidates urge.
“Second. it is known that the authori-
ties are thoroughly prepared to stamp out
any disorder. _ We are not in Mexico,
where any petty chief can issue a pronun-
ciamento and rally any respectable num-
ber of people to his standard of revolt.
Armed bonds. even if they could be got
together, wouldnot be permitted to come
to the capitol. ._ The masses of our people
are thoroughly disgusted at the idea.
They are ready to fly at each other’s
throats, and if there was any necessity
or it hundreds of Pepulists and Repub-
licans would respond to the call of the
civilauthcrities. ‘
“The report that the authorities con-
templated arresting the defeated candi-
' date for treason if he should take the oath
of office and 'claimth he governor is with-
out any foundation. The state authorities
will deal. only with overt actg or resist-
ance of the constitutional authorities. As
long as the defeated candidate avoids such
violation of the law he will be left alone
in his glory.’_’ _' ”
The Leland Stanford Estate.
SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Nov. 28,—Rep-
resentatives of the estate of the late Sen—
ator Stanford have foreclosed a mortgage
on property which belonged to the estate

interest and costs being nearly $75,000.
The note bears date of Sept. .1, 1886, and
is for $46,753.14. Dr. Stillman was an
old time friend of Senator Stanford.

Evidence Showing That the Swindlcr
Contemplated Suicide.
IN CONTESTABLE POLICIES.
He Obtained Two of Them From One In-
surance Company—Baker “fee a Bank-
. rupt. In 1885—Seely, the Abscond-
er, Has Not Yet Been Caught.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-——Samuel C. Seely,
the defaulting bookkeeper of the National
Shoe and Leather bank, has not been ar-
rested. A brother of his, it seems, was
taken into custody by mistake yesterday
and discharged soon after.
Investigation into the career of his dead
accomplice, Frederick Baker, is still go-
ing on, and those who are conducting it
seem to believe that all his rascalities
have not been discovered. There seems to
be no doubt that he made away with a
large amount of property of various per-
sons confided to his care as trustee, and
that despite his large illegal drawings
from the bank hexdied a comparatively
poor man. It has been discovered that he
was declared a bankrupt in 1885, and that
he never received a discharge.
surance companies in which he obtained
incontestable policies just before his death
are sure that he committed suicide. As
for the chances of recovery by the bank
from the real estate holdings which he
transferred to his wife the lawyers are
still in doubt. The disclosures about his
early life as a barber in Brooklyn have
astonished many of his acquaintances in
this city and Brooklyn, who regarded him
as a man who had always been in affluent
circumstances. .
The Bank All Right.
According to George L. Pease, the vice
president'cf the Shoe and Leather bank,
business at the bank was running along
as usual. .The officers were gratified, he
said, to find that the bank was only debt-
or at the clearing house this morning to
the amount of $50,000, due to normal
transactions, and that there were no un-
usual withdrawals of cash over the coun-
ter.
Mr. Pease said that nothing further had
been learned about Baker, but that a law-
yer had called at the bank and asked that
the bank’s‘iawyer call at his office, as he
had some valuable information to give
him about Baker. Mr. Pease could not
make public the lawyer’s name. It was
from Mr. Pease that the information
came that a man was arrested yesterday
in the belief that he was Seely, who turn-
ed out to be a brother of Seely.
The arrest was‘duo to his remarkable
likeness to the absoonder. The arrested
man was taken to the house of one of the
clerks of the bank, Mr. Pease said, and
proved that he was not the man wanted,
and was therefore released.
Baker’s Bankruptcy.
Baker’s bankruptcy was declared by the
district court of the United States for the
Eastern district of New York on April
14, 1885, on his own petition, which was
filed prior to the repeal of the law in 1878.
The case is still pending, his creditors
having opposed his discharge. His debts

. Benjamin Estes, the lawyer at 229
Broadway towhom for years the general
crookedness of Baker’s nature has been
no secret, when asked whether he had
ever heard of other persons who had had
experiences with Baker similar to the
Barnsdall and Farr cases, in which,
through the intervention of Mr. Estes,
Baker was prevented from robbing James
Barnsdale of Brooklyn and Mrs. Farr oi
the same city, replied that while he could
recall no specific instances, yet he remem:
bered that shortly after Baker became a
pewholder at Plymouth church he began
to hear that Baker was borrowing money
right and left from the members. and that
it soon became something like common
gossip that he was a man not to be trusted
with money. p -
“ ‘Lock out for him,’ said one member
to me. ‘Take care not to let him have any
money. ’ It was after my first experience
with him,” continued Mr. Estes, “that
he took a pew at Plymouth church. He
took one of the most conspicuous in the
church, almost directly behind ‘ Mrs.
Beecher’s, and there he posed as a devout
and great man. At the close of the serv-
ices he used to make a great point oi
shaking hands 'with and making himself
pleasant to everybody around and thus
acquiring new acquaintances. I used to
sit in the gallery and look down on all
this farce. Frequently our eyes met, but
so consummate were the nerve and sell
possession of the man that he-could look
me straight in the eye and never quail."

The manifesto of the czar also says that

He also wholly remits all arrears of as

remained undiscovered for 15 years will

granted to the participants in the Polish
rebellion of 1863, and they will be per-

THE Anus SCANDAL.
It Has Created aéTremendous Sensa-
tion In Wilmington, Del.
srrrc'r ON HIS CANDIDAGY.
The Millionaire Gas Magneto Declares That
In Spite of His Spouse's Petition
For Divorce I-Ie \Vill Be Del-
aware‘s Next Senator.
WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 28.—-A pro-
found sensation was -created here today
by the announcement that. Mrs. Rosalie
B. Addicks had filed a libel for divorce
from her husband, J.‘Edward Addicks,
millionaire candidate for United States
senator from Delaware, and the affair is
the talk of the city;. Almost all agree
that the great coal lgas kinghas aflght
on his hands compared with which the
battle for United States senator is trivial.
Mrs. Addicks has entered suit for abso-
lute divorce and alimony in the superior
court of Newcastle county, naming Mrs.
Ida Carr Wilson as corespondent. The
libel was filed on Saturday, and the great-
est efl’orts were taken to keep the matter
secret. It leaked out today for the first
time and is now amatter of public record.
The libel was filed in the prothcnotary's
office by William S. Hilles, one of the
counsel for Mrs. Addicks, and associated
with him are John G. Johnson of Phila-
delphia and Henry S. Cattell, also of the
Philadelphia bar. Mr. Addicks has re-

tained H. H. Ward. and it is understood
that Senator Gray will be associated with
him. George W. Crawford is his Phila-
delphia lawyer.
Only the Statutory Allegations.
The petition for divorce covers nearly
a half dozen pages of legal paper and was
filed with the prothonotary. The counsel,
in the case have refused to make the par-
ticulars of the affidavit public, and, ac-
ccrding to a ruling of the court, made
some years ago, the testimony is not ac-
cessible, although the lawyer who filed it
has the right to take it from the prothon-
otary’l office and keep it for a length of
time, provided he gives the prothonctary
a receipt for it. This was done today.
It was learned from a lawyer who saw
the libel that the statutory allegation is
the only ground of divorce. and that such
allegations are made at separate and dis.
tinct intervais. concerning- which there
are separate witnesses.
Mrs. Addicks, in her libel, sets forth
that her husband has been living with
Mrs. Wilson for several years, and that it
was for that reason she left his house. It
was rumored here at the time that she
had applied for a divorce in Boston, but
For the last
year, while retaining her residence in
Delaware, Mrs. Addicks and her daughter
have been traveling. She makes her home
in Philadelphia part of the time.
Not Unexpected.
It has been a matter of current report
for many months that Mrs. Addicks con-
templated bringing suit for divorce from
her husband, but the libel was filed so
quietly on Saturday that no one but the
counsel in the case knew that definite
proceedings had been taken. When the
fact became knpwn this morning, it was
the chief topic of conversation about the
corridor and in the offices of the court-
house. The report soon spread Upon the
streets that the millionaire senatorial
candidate had been sued for divorce, and
social circles in Delaware are stirred from
center to circumference.
Mrs. Addicks is not in town and can-
not be interviewed. -Mr. Addicks is also
absent. He telephoned a gentleman in
Wilmington from the rooms of the-Union
league of Philadelphia, of which he is a
member, and asked in reference to the
proceedings for divorce, but he made no
public statement. \
Addicks Denies.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28..-—Mr. Addicks
was in this city and said there Was. no '-
foundation for the charges made by Mrs.
Addicks. “There is an animus behind
all this, ” said he significantly, “but I will
be the next United States senator from
Delaware nevertheless.” He declined to
talk further on the subject.
McKane’s Conviction Confirmed.
ALBANY, Nov. 28.-—-The court of appeals
today afiirmed the judgment of the lower
court in the case of the people against
John Y. McKane, appellant, who was in-
dicted jointly with John W. Murphy,
Morton Morris and John Brownhill. This
was an appeal from a judgment of the
general term affirming a judgment of con-
viction for felony rendered in the court
of oyer. and terminer in Kings county.
