CovrgyviLLB, Kan,, November 12. Two of the Cook gang plundered the town of Lenapah, I. T., and left a bloody trail behind them to-day. They entered the town in the character of bold ban dits without any attempt at conceal ment, and terrorized the citizens until they had carried out their plan of rob bery. E. E. Mellon, a brave young man who attempted to stop them with his gun while they were riding away, was shot and killed. Another man, whose name cannot be learned, is said to have lieen seriously wounded. Both of the victims were with a small force of citi zens, who hastily armed themselves and attempted to prevent the escape of the bandits. Ihe robbers were mounted on fast horses, and were heavily armed. Some of the citizens claim to have recog nized them as Uherokee Bui and Jim French, well known as Lieutenants of Bill Uook, the leader ol the gang. The robbers held np the proprietors of two stores, and looted both places. They also robbed the poBtoflice. John Shuf- leldt, the proprietor ol one store, lost fiuuin money ana a gold watch. Mr. Shufleldt proclaimed his loss to the town before the robbers -had finished their work, and the band of citizens was al most between them and their horses when the robbers were ready to mount. An effort was mode to stop them, but they were on Horseback with drawn DlS' tols and were flying awav before their would-be captors could make a concen trated move. A report savs the bandits are headed for Perryville, which is only fifteen miles from Lenapah. That place is the scene ot many tragic robberies. and the police with volunteers are pre pared to meet them in the same way they met the ualtons two years ago, when the entire band was wiped out.

The controversy between the receivers of the Heading Company and such em ployes as are members of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen has prompted an expression of opinion from Attorney' General Olney in the form of a letter to Judge Dallas of the United States Cir cult Court, before whom the case is pending. The difficulty between th two organizations reached a crisis Au gust 15 last, when General Superintend ent Sweigard summoned before him eleven employes and notified them to disband as a condition of retaining thei places. Various protests were made against this alternative, and the brother hood urged the receivers to withdraw it, but in answer the receivers September 17 answered : "The Dollcvof this com Dan v Is well known to be that it will not consent that persons in its service shall owe allegi ance to other organizations which may make claims upon them which are in compatible with their duties to their employers. This position was taken ad visedly, and we have no intention of de parting Irom it." Attornev-General Olnev's letter is an exhaustive discussion of the questions presented, and he reviews the various problems and the consistent solutions to be applied in every respect. In substance lie holds that labor unorganized is prac tically powerless : that in combination such as this, lies the only safeguard of the workman in his dealings with organ ized capital, and tliut his right to belong to Buch a nnion beneficial in intent and purpose is a legal right of which he cannot be deprived.

MAILED EPISTLES The Business Transacted in the Fostofliee Department. DIFFERENT DIVISION DETAILS Extracte Taken From the Reporta of the first and Seoond Aaalatant Poatinaa-tera-Uoneral Keooniniendatlona for Improvement of the Service. Washington, November 13. First As Bistant PoBtmaBter-Ueneral Frank Jones has submitted his annual report to the Postmaster-General. It is a review of the work in the department under his churge for the year ended June 30, 18:14, and contains his recommendations for improvement of the service. Mr. Jones recommends legislation to protect the post-marking stamp in use at postofflces, as the stamp is now being used for tin' lawful purposes. He reviews his recom mendations for legislation to prevent the boycotting of postmasters by mailing of letters at places other than the office, which results In reducing the salaries of the postmasters boycotted. He calls especial attention to the' misuse of the franking privilege. lie says: " There seems to be some misappre hension among members of Congress as to the scope of the franking privilege, which lias resulted in some postmasters declining to send speeches or other matter presented for mailing. This de partment has been called upon to give xpecial instructions in such matters. Instead of the name being written or placed on the envelope by tiie hand stamp it has been in some instances im properly printed thereon ; the speeches therein contained have borne advertise ments of the printer, which formed no part of the congressional record, and therefore are subject to postage as third class matter. In addition to this some of the packages Bent bv mail under the frank of the member have been found after delivery to contain printed matter I . . : 1 - - . 1 . 1 1 1 1 uuieiue ui me cuii grass luuai recuru arju public documents and therefore not frankable nnder the laws above Quoted The literature being sent under seal, the department is of course unable to detect every violation. There is no penalty at tached to the misuse of the franking privilege; hence no action ran be taken by me further than to call the attention of the member to the matter.- As this department is required to carry without one cent of revenue hundreds of tons of franked matter, additional limitations should be placed on the use of the frank or a penalty of some kind imposed for its unlawful use, and I respectfully sug gest that the attention of Congress be called to this matter for such action as it chould deem proper." Mr. Jones recommends legislation al lowing the suspension without pay, not to exceed ten days, of empioves violating the postal rules ; aim that disabled em ployes may be granted leaves of absence with continued pay; also some changes in the classifications of salaries which were heretofore commended.

AN ELECTRIC DEATH. The Subject la to be Thoroughly Tested In New York. Albany, N. Y., November 13.

The passengers on the steamer Lady Leo, which arrived this evening bring terrible tales of losses and suffering from forest fires on both sides of the river north of Memphis.

The flames were fanned by a stiff wind, and when last heard from were spreading in every di rection.

Mike Kelly, the baseball player, died here to night at the emergency hospital. He came here Monday morning to join the London Gayety Girls' Theatrical Com pany, and was taken sick that morning with pneumonia. He rallied Monday evening, bnt since then has been falling until death came to-night. Mike Kelly was undoubtedly the best known ball player In the country. He was a native of Paterson, N. J., and first came into prominence when he was the receiving end ol Chicago's famous "Jer sey battery." Jim McCormick was the pitcher. After McCormick retired Kelly caught John Clarkson, and was later sold to Boston for $10,000. Clarkson brought the same figure, and the two became Known as .Boston's "twenty-thousand-dollar battery." After Kelly secured his release from Boston he went to New York, and from there to Allen town in the Pennsylvania State League. Toward the last of the season he trans ferred his club to Yonkers, and finished last season in the Eastern League. Sev eral years ago Kelly developed into a song-and-dance artist, and during the winter months appeared in the large Eastern cities. It was his reputation as a ball player rather than his ability as an olio performer that made him a draw ing card. Kelly led the National League in batting in 1886 with a percent age of .388. AjMAJOR-GENERAL 1 - : The Appointment of Genera '- Howard's Successor. COLONEL FORSYXH PROMOTED One of the Hoat Dlatlngulahed Cavalry Officer. In the Army-llaa Behind Him a Notable Becord of Service In the Indian Campaigns. Washington, November 12. Briga dier-General Alexander McDowell Mc- Cook has been appointed Major-General of the United States army, vice General Howard retired, and Colonel James W Forsyth of the Seventh Cavalry has been promoted to Brigadier-General, to sue ceed McCook. General McCook has been for the past five years in command of the new department of Colorado, with headquarters at Denver. General Mc Cook comes of the fighting McCooks, be ing the eldest of ten brothers in the army, lie was until to-day the junior Brigadier-beneral in the army, and by the President's selection is promoted overGenerals Ruger, Merritt and Brooke. However, ne retires April zt, next year. on reaching the age of (14, when the omen win nave a cbance to reach the highest grade now in the service. The race for the Dlace vacated bv Ma- lor-General Howard's retirement was between General McCook and General Ruger, the latter commanding the de partment of California. The former was peculiarly fortunate in receiving the ap pointment over General Ruirer. who stanife at the head of the list of Briga- dier-fcenerals, because he would other wise retire in a few months with the rank bf Brigadier-General. As it is, Gen eral Ruber's promotion will probably only be delayed a short time. Colonel James ForBVth. who will become a Krica- dier-General, is one of the most distin- f;uisbed cavalry officers in the army and ias behind him a notable record of serv ice in the Indian campaigns. At present he is Colonel of the Seventh Cavalry and in command 01 tne artillery school at Fort Riley. Kan. Maior-General Mc Cook will transfer his command to New York, succeeding Maior-General How ard as commander of the department of the East. In the natural order General Forsyth would take his command as commander of the department of the Missouri, but as the junior Brigadier General he may yield his command to General Ruger, should the latter, as is expected, prefer to change from the de partment 01 uaiuornia.

Another ef fort will be made to revive the Trans continental Passenger Association, and the meeting for that purpose may be held In Chicago November 16, although the dcte is not certain. The Southern Pacific is, as before, the principal mover in the scheme, and it is understood that it will make considerable concessions to the direct California lines to Induce them to enter the association. These concessions must be of a verv tangible sort to induce Atchison and To' nek a into any plan for the reorganization of the association. This road is not at the present time in a position to enter anv association obligations, nor will it be until the present troubles between the stockholders are adjusted. The Union Pacifio took objections, and they will take some time to remove. Altogether the prospects for the revival of the as sociation are not brighter than at the time when the Southern Pacific tried to warm it into life two months ago. SOUTH SEA FINANCES.

AFFECTS METHOD OF VOTING The Supreme Court of That Stat Holds That One Mark la Sufficient, and That a Second Dlstlngulehlng One Is II legal Under the Law. Lamsino, Mich., November 10. The Supreme Court to-day banded down a most important decision affecting the present method of voting. On the ques tion of what constitutes a distinguishing mark on a ballot, which mark is pro hibited by law, the court unanimously held that any mark other than the tin gle one appropriate to designate the in tention of a voter is a distinguishing mark. The case was brought in the con' testing of the rights to office of two local candidates at Bay City, who were osten siDiy eiectea at a spring election a year and a half ago. By the decision both are ousted from office. The effect of this decision will be far-reaching. The court holds that if. two tickets on an official ballot are identical, the marking of a cross over each is illegal. Also that to mark a cross over any ticket and then before each name on such ticket or placing a cross before the name of a candidate and then erasing the name of his opponent on another ticket is illegal. In substance the ODinion holds that a single marie in a vote la sufficient to in dicate the voter's intention, and a sec ond mark might be agreed upon as a means of identification. It has been the practice of election insnectors to connt all such doubly marked ballots, so that nnder this decision any of the elections held under the Australian system may, It is believed, be contested.

The First National Bank of this city closed its doors shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The bank has been in a safe condition for ordinary business, but a quiet run was organized that went on all Friday. Nothing was thought of it, but on opening yesterday morning a rush commenced, and Cashier Kohl closed the doors and posted a notice to protect all depositors. The bank was doing the largest business in the city, ft is understood the cause of the failure originated in personal quarrels among the officers of the bank. President Jo seph Brown, when interviewed, stated that tne bank would not resume busi ness, but would go into liquidation.
