CUSTOM HOUSE m DANGER.
Fears of an Attack Rom Mexican
Revolutionists.
N OGALES, Ariz., Dec. 29.—Nogales, Mex-
. ico, has been in a; feverish state of excite-
ment since Tuesday night over a, rumor
that a band of revolutionists were headed
this way for the purpose of looting the
Mexican custom house at this place. The
band is said to number about fifty, and it
is said to be the same crowd that looted
the Palomas custom house. LIBIIt.-COI.
Kosterlitzki arrived from Magdalene
with a. company of rurales, or state troops,
and went into camp near the custom
house. Another command of two or three
companies and the commander of the de-
partment of Sonora are expected. All the
municipal officers in Nogales, Sonora, and
all the customs guards in the vicinity
were on duty at the custom house, and a
force of special officers have slept there.
At present there is over $150,000 in the col-
lector’s possession, and it is thought that
this is the inducement for the present
raid. Americans at once telegraphed the
situation [of aflairs to Gov.‘Hughes, and
asked that he take steps to have soldiers
sent here at once, as Nogales, Sonora, and
‘Nogales, Arizona, are divided only by a
narrow street. The people on the Ameri-
can side would be in considerable danger
if hostilities open up on the Mexican side.
The opinion prevails that the trouble is
caused by desperate bandits, who have in
view only robbery and pillage.
. more Trouble for McKane.
. NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-—-The Times pub-
f ,lishe's a two-column article attacking
J ohn'Y. McKane’s methods of doing busi-
ness as supervisor of the town of Graves-
end. The Times says that a number of
taxpayers of the town have been looking
over the ofiicial records of Gravesend and
have made a number of startling discover-
ies. They have organized an association
' for the purpose of conducting a further in-
vestigation into the documents. It is
claimed that hundreds of dollars of public
money have been spent for what the
charges call meals for poll clerks, inspect-
ors of election and other election officials.
It is further said that large amounts of the
public money have been spent to transport
. voters to and from the polls on electiOn
day, and, even Were the expenditures for
such a purpose as bringing voters to the
'. polls legal, the charges are grossly exor-
bitant. The taxpayers further find that
the public treasury'has been drawn upon
for large sums of money to pay Richard
V. R. Newton and George .‘V. Roderick
counsel fees, with no record of what serv-
5 ices they rendered for the money:

NEWARK, N .‘ J ., Dec 29.»——Forty-eight
hours after the discovery of the dead
body of Miss Elizabeth Petty, the well-to-
do old miser, in her house, No. 79 Com-
merce street, the police have become satis-
fied of only-three points—that she died
between Mendel!l wild Tuesday evenings;
that she was strangled to death, and that
the incentive was robbery. Having locked
herself in her home so ‘many years, ad-
mitting no one,- but. received personal
notes from relatives :and‘ most intimate
friends she had b’yzthere’vbeing pushed un-
der the door, no one can positively say
that any thing is missing from among her
effects. , But there isgood grounds to be-
.lieve that she had! flange amount of paper,
currency in'a bl'ackptocking, and such an
article cannot be'f’pulid. That is the po-
lice’s only clue.” j j _
, In another superficial search of the
.housea large stoclrof remnants of va-
rious patterns andeualities was found,
besides children’s bookstand toys. Very

DIEANWHILE‘THE POOR SUFFER.
Providence Officials Wrangling Over
the Amount to Pay for aDuy’s Labor.
PROVIDENCE, MR I., Dec. 29.——-A special
meeting of the common council was called
for noon by Mayor Potter, that there
might be concurrent action which would
permit the park commissioners to expend
a portion of the: $300,000, appropriated last
week for park construction in the employ-
ment of the poor. The common council
made the per diem 75 cents and the alder~
men made it $1.~ Neither branch would
agree to the rate of pay voted by the other.
So the aldermen passed another joint reso-
lution referring the whole question to the
park commissioners, with authority to
hire as many men as they pleased and at
any wages they might think proper. The
council to—day not only refused to concur,
but also refused to consent to a committee
of conference which-had been asked by the
aldermen.

that the city is being violently bombard-

“The insurgent cruiser Almirante Ta—

sulted in the beating ofif of the warship,
which was seroiusly damaged. The marks—

showed considerable improvement and
comparatively few of their shots Went

“The government has received advices
confirming the repel-t of the loss at Ita—
jahy of the insurgent steamer Meter in
a recent fight with the government forces.
“The insurgents besicging Bags, in the
state of Rio Grande do Sul, assumed act-
ive operations against thatlplace and suf-
fered a severe repulse. Their loss in killed,
wounded and taken prisoners was 600.
The insurgents there are under the con»
mend of Gen. Tavares. This is the sec-
ond time this month that the loyal troops
at Bilge have defeated the insurgents.
