Gloucester is ex cited over a clerical scandal. Last eve ning Henry Radge, the senior curate of Newent, near that city, who was well connected and had been highly " con nected, died in jail. His downfall has been rapid. A short time ago he began drinking, and it was soon learned by the parish trustees that he was using a large amount of parochial funds. Through the influence of friends, who restored the money, the matter was hushed up, and-it was hoped that the minister's failings would be controlled, but after a brief period of uprightness he again fell from grace, and it became necessary for the parishioners to dismiss him. A week ago Kudge was forced to leave his house for non-payment of rent. Over come by despair and shame he at tempted to commit suicide, but was pre vented from carrying out his purpose and was sent to jail for the offense of trying to end his life. It is believed he obtained poison through some friend while in jail and was thus enabled to finally complete the wotkof self-destruc tioh, as an autopsy shows signs of vol son. Very few of the curate's parish' loners had an idea of the disgrace into which he had fallen ; the prevailing idea mat ne was Buttering from nervous pros tration. The revelations following the suicide have caused a profound sensa tion. REFUSED TO HOLD HIM. Minneapolis Authorities Release a Picfc pocket Wanted at Portland. bt. -aul, sept. v. jonn Doiey, a somewhat noted character, commonly known as :"The Goat," was released from imprisonment at Minneapolis to day upon the understanding that he would leave the city.

He was arrested at the exposition by Detective rioy. rne authorities at Portland, Or., wanted Foley held until an officer could arrive from that city. The county at torney thought it would require too long a time lor an omcer to come irom the coast, and that the prisoner, would have oeen a Die to get out a writ of habeas cor pus in the meantime, holey was ar rested on general principles at Portland aliout a year ago. He broke jail and came east. About four years ago he stole a pocket-book from Mrs.. John Fleethaine's pocket, while that lady was attending a funeral in East Minne apolis. He was arrested at the time but managed to escape conviction. ACCIDENT OR CRIME. A Wealthy Ranch Owner Gives His Friends Poison to Drink. Haktington, Neb., Sept. 7. Andrew Olsen", a well-known farmer of this vi cinity, died last night from the effects of a dose of poison taken in a drink of al cohol. Marti h Knulson, neighbor to the deceased, lies at the point of death, and Hans Seager, another friend, is slowly recovering from the effect of poison. Dennis b laherty, a wealthv ranchowner with previously a good rep utation, has been arrested, charged with poisoning them. Last . week - he met them and after a brief friendly conver sation offered them to drink from a flask of alcohol which he drew from his pocket. He asserts he had two flasks. one containing alcohol and one poison. The men who drank asserts he had but one flask, that the liquor therein was of a milky hue, and he remarked it was not clear as alcohol should be. . A Desperate Woman's Deed. Atcbison, Sapt. 7.

She, nowever, returned to visit the grave of her child, and the story came out. The Texas Train Robbers. Galveston, Tex., Sept. 7.

Stu art, a married man with four children, and Mrs. Jane Kennedy, a married woman with two children, went out for a boat ride-on Ponde de Leon lake after 8 o'clock last night. They had with them, in another boat, two companions, Gignilliat and Miss Ida Harmon. The lake is away out of town and is in a lonely spot. The two couples took sepa rate 'boats and there in the dark were having a pleasant time. Suddenly Gig nilliat heard a scream, and looking around beheld no trace of the other boat. It had disappeared with its occupants as completely as if it had never existed. Miss Harmon fain ed, and it was with difficulty that Gignilliat saved himpelf from the fate of hie companions.

President Bslmaceds Upholds United States Minister Egan. San Fbancisco, Sept. 7. The Exami ner's Santiago correspondent, under date of August 8, reports an interview with Balmaceda, then president of Chili, in which the latter claimed' foreign specu lators had more to do with the disrup tion of the government than was gener ally known, and that a great deal of money had been advanced the insur gents by foreign capitalists. He refused to state whether or not United States Minister Egan had expressed an opinion as to whether the United States govern ment iavorea toe jsaimaceaan govern ment .or the insurgents, but eaid the United States minister was a very con servative man, and bad chosen to re main eiient as to nis own sympathy in the patter. Balmaceda expressed the opinion that the chastisement which - he said Egan had received from the Ameri can press was not merited, and that the insurgents were trying to "down" the latter simply from spite. The interview was brief, as the correspondent says the president refused to discuss acmy or state affairs. ' '. Desperate Fight Between Convicts.' Louisville, Ky., Sept 7.

Yesterday after noon at 2 :45 o'clock two young men sailed from Rockaway beach in a dory, bound for Boston. Harry Tumbenback, the captain, sat in the stern just before starting, while Robert Valkepberg, the mate and crew, went forward and christened the craft Little Rover. Then they sailed. Two hours later they had made about half a mile. Their boat is seven feet long and two feet six inches in -width. It has a square stern, is flat bottomed, has a centre-board, and car ries a mainsail and jib. With its two occupants it draws about six inches, while its gunwales are about eight inches above water. The sides are made of a single board about three-quarters of an inch thick. The mainsail is five feet high and about three feet wide. In this cigar box two men expect to reach Bos ton in about nine days. They expect to capsize frequently, and so ' they carry a reel and a long line. When they go overboard they will swim ashore and draw the boat after them, bail her out and proceed. Both voyagers are robust young fellows, who have made a record as life savers at Rockaway and A'sbury Park. They will trust to their swim ming powers rather than to the boat to save them. They will pass up East River through the sound and around Cape Cod, keeping as near shore as pos sible. They carrjr canvas to shelter them at night. It is said they are sail ing for a purse or wager.

Ballard, of Haybrook, 111., and Miss Bertha Ison of Baker City, Oregon, and daughter of the late Judge Ison of that place, was. found dead this morning.

She thought much of him but begged him to postpone the event until after her education was completed. This morning he appeared at the house and had an interview with Miss Ison in . the parlor. While talking with her he pulled out a revolver and shot her twice. once through the head and once through the heart, producing instant death. The doctor then shot himself five times dying in a few minutes. OREGON'S TOBACCO INTERESTS. Figures Relating to the Industry in This State. Washington, Sept. 5.

A Snake Story. A man named Bayley down in Modoc county, California, a short time since killed a rattlesnake five feet long and twelve inches in circumference and hav ing forty-four rattles and a button and the Ashland Record man avows that he has the rattles on exhibition in his office. That reminds the Chronicle man of a rattle snake story he heard the other day from the lips of a pioneer lady of this county, in whose truthfulness and sincerity he has'tbe utmost cbn6dence, otherwise he should be disposed to take it cum grano salt's. In the eummer of '53 a party of surveyors at Stony Butte in Lane county, on the farm of Mitchell Wilkins, one of the Oregon commission ers, we believe, to the world's fair came upon a den of rattle snakes and in the space of about three hours they killed 980 finakes of all sizes from the infant on its mother's knee, and young rattlers just cutting their eye teeth, so to speak', up to the old battle scarred veterans of two or three feet long. One man, a farmer of the neighborhood named Jes sie Hasket, who had engaged in the kill ing match, died a few days afterwards, from the effects,-as his physician alleged, of inhaling the deadly ' fumes of the snake poison. Our informant was then a school girl of the neighborhood, and is now the honored wife of Mr. J. H. Mosier of Mosier in this county. Murdered and Thrown In the RWer. . ' Eureka, Cal., Sept. 7.
