TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES At to-day's session of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, in Boston, the following officers were elected Bishop Tierney, of Hartford, president, J. W. Logue, of Philadelphia, and Judge W. J. Gibbons, of Chicago, vice presidents Rev. D. P. McGillicuddy, of Spring. field, Mass., treasurer and Rev. A.P. Doyle, of New York, secretary. A storm was created in political cir cles in Newark, N. J., to-day over the discovery that the new election law passed at the last session of the legislatures provides for the acceptance of the soldiers' vote from the field only "in time of war." The probability of an immediate cessation of hostilities means that no state of war will exist on election day and unless the New Jersey regiments are discharged prior to the date it is estimated that about 6,000 voters would lose their right of franchise. In New Jersey 6,000 votes cast either way might decide the State election inasmuch as the net republican plurality in the State last fall was only 258. The Bank of Waverly. one of the oldest and supposed to be the most substantial finan. cial institution of Waverley, III closed its doors as a result of a quiet run started last evening for some unaccountable reason among some of the herviest depositors. The headless body of a woman WAS washed ashore at Falisbury Beach, Mass. late yester day afterncon. She was apparently twenty years old.

Gaynor, of Pottsville, P a road contractor of national reputation. was run over and killed yesterday by a locomotive at Kemmerer, Wyoming, where be was driving a turnel on a branch of the Union Pacific. A fatal accident occurred yesterday near McClure, Ill. A number of Italians were us. loading steel rails and overbalanced a est load which was thrown upon them, killing three men and injuring six others.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The thirty-second annual convention of the American Institute of Architects is in session at Washington. The Commercial Hotel, City livery stable and a saloon at Oklahoma City, O. T., burned early yesterday. The guests had time to escape from the hotel. Frank B. Leefe, convicted with J. B. Wolfson of wrecking the Union National Bank of New Orleans, died in the parish prison in that city yesterday. The agent of W. O. B. MacDonough, owner of Ormonde, states that the Duke of Westminster's offer of $50,000 for that famous race horse has been declined. The affairs of the First National Bank of Lisbon, O., look more promising. It is now definitely determined that the snortage of Childs, the missing cashier, will not exceed $40,000. Depositors will be paid in full. R. T. Howell, an insurance agent of Bridgeport, O., was arrested at Wheeling yesterday at the instance of the West Virginia state auditor for issuing fire insurance policies of companies not authorized to do business in that State. Detective McVey, of Delaware, who is in California representing his State in the Botkin poisoning case, has engaged attorneys to look after the legal side of the case and an endeavor will be made to have the case carried to the Federal Court for settlement. The discovery has been made at Port Townsend, Wash., that some miscreant has defaced the two fifty-four-ton guns that are waiting to be placed in position at Marrowstone point by cutting names on the stem barrels with soap and acid. Suspicion rests on discharged workmen. Lambert Wilt, the absconding controller of the Bunglau Savings Bank, Bohemia, with his wife and aunt, were taken to Chicago yesterday from St. Louis, where they were arrested Monday night. They will be held in Chicago as prisoners to await instructions from Bohemia. In the United States Circuit Court at Springfield, III., yesterday, George Caruthers, William A. Sims and William T. Cox. of Waverly, filed a petition to have the bank of Waverly, at Waverly, III., adjudged bankrupt. The defendant made a general assignment Aug. 11. The liabilities are $300,000, with assets unknown. While hunting with four companions, near Irwin, Pa., Joe Boleti, an Italian coal miner, accidently discharged his weapon and some of the shot entered the body of John Macholi, another of the party. The accident frightened Boleti and he started to run, when without a word, Macholi raised his gun and shot him through the heart. The murderer is at large. Judge Thayer, of the United States Court of Appeals at St. Paul, yesterday reversed the decision in favor of the defendants, rendered by the lower court, in the case of the government against the Pine River Logging and Improvement Company, involving $487,000 worth of lumber alleged to have been wrongfully cut and removed from Indian reservations. John Hubbard and William Lamont, who are serving time in the Michigan State House of Correction, confided to three fellow-prisoners that a year ago last September they murdered and robbed Ludwig Herman, a veteran soldier, They will be held and tried for the crime, which has hitherto been a mystery, When visited by officers Hubbard and Lamont dented having made such a confession.
