Another Inquiry.
New York, Aug. 14.—Justice Jerome
and officials attached to the district at-
torney’s office, held another judicial
inquiry concerning the charges that
police officials have been accepting
bribes from keepers of illegal resorts.
Frank Moss of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Crime was present during
the proceedings. Some twenty persons)
had been summoned to give testimony,
among them Captain Vredenburgh of

He went on to praise the conduct of

San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 13.—It was
stated at the office of the Selby Smelt-
ing company that a force of divers un-
der the management of a detective
agency had taken $65,000 worth of gold
from the spot where it was hidden by
Winters, making nearly $200,000 al-
ready recovered.
The fact that Winters has not been
charged with any crime lends addi-
tional weight to the belief that he will
be leniently dealt with by the officers
of th law for confessing the crime and
locating the spot where he secreted the
bullion.
There promises to be a lively fight
between the detectives over the re-
ward money, and the matter may even-
tually be taken into court for settle-
ment
Detective Morse, who, it is stated,
definitely fixed upon Winters the au-
thorship of the crime, states that he
obtained his first information from
Donaldson, an employe of the works
who formerly roomed with Winters.
Acting upon this information Morse
gathered sufficient evidence against
Winters to warrant the arrest of the
latter. Morse, who is a detective for
the Selby people, does not claim any
of the reward, but states that a large
portion of it should be divided between
Donaldson and Sheriff Veale of Contra
Costa county. The lawyers of the last
named are drawing up papers setting
forth the claims of Donaldson and
Veale. Their claims are opposed by
the other detective agencies in the
case.
Winters claims to have come from

The train which was robbed was No.
1 of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad. In the manner of holding it
up the robbers were conventional, pur-
suing the most approved method of
crawling over the tender while the
train was in motion and commanding
the engineer and fireman to stop at a
place previously agreed on.
But the proceedings thereafter were
decidedly original. The robbers showed
themselves not only capable of enact-
ing some dramatic climaxes, but of
touching the proceedings here and
there with a bit of burlesque that kept
even the victims in good humor.
They went through the express car,
then the mail car, using dynamite with
prodigality. Then they went through
the passenger coaches and the sleep-
ers, taking what money they could get,
but abstaining from carrying off jew-
elry. No one was hurt, for while am-
munition was spent, it was evidently
for the purpose of adding somewhat
to the realism of the scene, for they
always aimed high.
Postal Clerk George F. Tuley Tues-
day evening finished straightening out
the registered matter taken out of the
pouches at the robbery, and said:
“There is practically no loss in the
registered packages. There was a con-
signment of $4000 worth of stamps for
the postoffice at Sherman in the
pouches that were sacked, but these
the robbers did not disturb.”
There are six surviving governors or
New York—Cornell, elected in 1879;
Cleveland, elected in 1882; Hill, first
elected In 1885; Morton, elected in
1894; Black, elected in 1896, and Roose-
velt, elected in 1898. Three of the six,
after having been governor, attained
honors in the field of national politics
—Cleveland as president, Hill as sen-
ator, and Roosevelt as vice president.
Will Resist.
Fall River, Mass., Aug. 14.—It is an-
nounced that the requisite number of
spindles, namely, 1,750,000, have been
pledged to the agreement of the cotton
manufacturers to scale dawn wages be-
tween 14 and 15 per cent on Sept. 3.
In face of this position on the part of
the manufacturers, the operatives are
forming to resist the cut. Their decla-
ration that they would not accept the
cut is most positive, and said in the
most emphatic of terms.
Canoe-building is one of the Indus-
tries of Kennebunkport, Me., which

Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 14^—The In-
ternational Typographical union con-
vention, by a vote of 84 to 76, submit-
ted to a referendum vote the preamble
of the proposition allowing the stere-
toypers and electrotypers complete
autonomy and to control, charter and
organize members of their craft. De-
tails of the plan of separation were not
discussed, and will be allowed to rest
until the preamble is acted upon by
local unions. Both branches of the
printing trade are claiming a victory,
and much debate ensued before the
vote was taken up.
During the afternoon Frederick Dris-
coll, commissioner of the American
Newspaper Publishers’ association, ad-
dressed the convention in behalf of
the newspaper publishers. He con-
gratulated the delegates upon the es-
tablishment of the principle of arbitra-
tion in settling differences arising un-
der contracts between the publishers
and their employes. He asked for the
adoption of several amendments to
the general laws of the union tending
to improve the mutual relations of the
employers and the employed. He re-
ferred to the fact that no strike or seri-
ous labor disturbance had occurred dur-
ing the past year in the offices of the
publishers connected with the associa-
tion. The address was heard with
close attention on the part of the dele-
gates, and the sentiments expressed
were loudly applauded from the plat
form.

gether. It was also said that Mr. Car-
valho examined some checks and other
papers in the case.
Two More Banks.
Lawton, Ok., Aug. 14.—The Indica-
tions are that the receipts from the
sale of town lots now in progress un-
der direction of the Federal govern-
ment will exceed $500,000 in Lawton.
This is more than twice the estimate
of the most optimistic boomers of the
reservation. One twenty-five-foot lot
Tuesday sold for $140 a front foot, and
the average during the day was about
$55 a front foot. Two private banks
were established Tuesday.
In Bad Condition.
Washington, Aug. 14.—An examina-
tion of the triple screw cruiser Colum-
bia shows that she is almost as dirty
as the receiving ship Vermont. A re-
port transmitted by Rear Admiral Bar-
ker, commandant of the New York
yard, states that at least two weeks
will be required to put the ship in good
condition. The work has been imme-
diately authorized by the navy depart-
ment. It would not be surprising
should the department deem it expe-
dient to order an official inquiry.
Mr. Justice Brown of the Supreme
court, once said, in addressing a class
of young lawyers, that a verdict of a
jury in a criminal case is a decision
not upon the question whether the
man on trial is guilty or not, but upon
the question whether he shall be pun-
ished or not. An important distinc-
tion. It shows the element of human
interest, independent of legal subtle-
ties, which the jury system secures.
Deadly Duel.
State Line, Utah, Aug. 14.—Jim
Hedges was killed in a street duel by
Jim Glendenning, a miner, who was
afterwards arrested and placed in jail.
Hedges for years had the reputation
of being a "bad man,” and during his
twenty-four years’ residence in the
border town of killing three men in
street encounters. Hedges and Glen-
denning got into a controversy as to
their relative merits as revolver ex-
perts, and as a result Hedges chal-
lenged him to a fight.
An atrocious murder was committed
recently at Puy-Saint Gulmier, near
Clermont-Ferrand, France.. A young
man of twenty-seven, named Jean
Baptiste Gometon, after shooting at
his father with a rifle, followed him
into the street, and in the presence
of the neighbors chopped off his head
with a hatchet. Jealousy was the
cause of the crime, as both father
and son were in love with the same
woman.
Denison, Tex., Aug. 14.—Tuesday
morning at 1.05 at Cauey tank on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
forty miles north of Denison, Missouri,
Kansas and Texas passenger train No.
1, south bound, was held up and the
express car looted, the safe dynamited,
the mail car rifled and a small amount
of money taken. The passengers on the
train were held up and relieved of
their money, but in no instance would
the robbers take diamonds, watches or
jewelry. Their booty amounted to
about $2000.
The express car was badly wrecked
by the dynamite used in blowing open
the through safe. No passenger was
injured, and no violence was done any
of the passengers or train crew.
The point where the robbery was
committed it one of the most favora-
ble spots in the Indian Territory. It
is about eleven miles south of Atoka,
Choctaw nation, in the dense woods of
Caney and Boggy bottoms. The water
tank is at Clear Boggy river, on the
south side of the stream, and the sta-
tion is about a mile and a quarter
south of that point.
Within twelve hours after the hold-
Horsewhipped by a Woman.
Great Falls, Mont., Aug. 14.—Three
representatives of the clerks’ union
were horsewhipped by Mrs. Wm. Glass,
the wife of a proprietor of a store here.
The president of the Trades and La-
bor council later swore to a complaint
charging Mrs. Glass with assaulting
the men. It appears that the store
conducted by Glass had been declared
“unfair” by the clerks’ union for the
reason that the 6 o’clock closing rule
has not been observed. The men horse-
whipped had been standing near the
store distributing circulars asking the
public not to patronize the place.
A runaway horse in Denver the
other day finished a flight by landing
in the interior of a rapidly moving
trolley car, where he rode for nearly
a block before the vehicle could be
stopped.
A French writer, Henri Coupin, says
that the fact that, notwithstanding
their simplicity, the songs of the birds
cannot be imitated with musical in-
struments arises from the impossibil-
ity of reproducing their peculiar
timbre. The notes of birds, while cor-
responding with our musical scale,
also include vibrations occupying the
intervals between our notes. The dur-
ation of birds’ songs is usually very
short, two or three seconds for thushes
and chaffinches, four or five seconds
for blackcaps, but from two to five
minutes for the lark. Monsieur Cou-
pin remarks that while one in every
ten species of European birds is tune-
ful, the proportion diminishes to only
one in a thousand among the gor-
geously clad birds of the tropics.
Mary Clark, who had spent most of
her 75 years in one of the cotton mills
of Manchester, N. H., died last week
as the result of the extreme heat. Miss
Clark was supposedto have had a little
money laid by, but a superficial search
brought to light only four $5 bills. In
looking about the room a policeman
picked up a pair of corsets. They were
suspiciously heavy, and he ripped them
open and found $890. The money
weighed 31 pounds. Miss Clark had
worn the corset in the mill every day,
being afraid to trust her savings to the
Danks.
At the beginning of the new fiscal
year the pneumatic tubes which have
been employed in the postal service of
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
(Boston went out of operation, and the
mail wagon has taken their place. This
looks like a step backward. It is prob-
ably only temporary. Congress seems
to have refused to continue the ap-
propriation solely on account of its
'unwillingness to foster a private
monopoly. Doubtless a pneumatic tube
service built and owned by the gov-
ernment will yet be established and
maintained in all large cities, although
several ingenious rival contrivances
for doing the same work deserve con-
sideration before a final decision is
made.

A False Impression Corrected — Pan-
American Exposition Railroad Fares
and Hotel Rates Low as Could be
Expected.
Buffalo, N. Y., July 30.—A joint
meeting of railway passenger agents,
hotel and newspaper men was held
this afternoon with the view of adopt-
ing some means for correcting so far
as possible the impression that ap-
pears to prevail at distant points that
railway rates to the Pan-American Ex-
position are high and that hotel rates
In Buffalo are excessive. The confer-
ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can
accommodate two hundred thousand
visitors in its private houses and ho-
tels at rates ranging from fifty cents
to two dollars per night, and that no
one need pay more than one dollar
for a first-class lodging in a private
house. It was also shown that the
railroad rate is lower than for any
former exposition for a five, ten or
fifteen day ticket, according to dis-
tance, being at the rate of one fare
plus one dollar for the round trip,
from all parts of the country. The
Niagara Falls cheap, one-day special
excursions of former years, when
trains were overcrowded and everyone
subjected to great discomfort, are re-
membered only so far as the low rate
is concerned, and this is quoted as
showing what might be done. The
passenger agents assert that the pres-
ent half rates are as low as can rea-
sonably be expected. An extension of
the present limit has been looked for,
as it gives too short a time for anyone
to see the big exposition, but it has
not yet been modified. Other points
which the representatives of the pub-
lishers’ association will lay stress
upon are that the Exposition is com-
pleted in all details and that both
Buffalo and the Exposition are well
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country.
A joint committee was appointed to
deal with questions affecting the Ex-
position and the proper welcome and
care of guests. The Exposition has
had in operation for some time a tree-
bureau of information for the conve-
nience of intending visitors.

Ne v York, Aug. 13.—John A. Lomax
of Austin, Tex., boarded a Chambers
street car at Broadway Sunday evening
and sat down beside a powerfully built
man, who was reading a newspaper.
As the car was nearing West Broadway
the Texan felt a slight tug at his hip
pocket and placing his hand there
found that his leather bill holder, con-
taining $110 in cash and three drafts
for $50 each, was missing. Mr. Lomax
grabbed the young man and demanded
his money, but was knocked down.
Lomax, regaining his feet, again at-
tacked the pickpocket and a hot fight
ensued, the conductor taking a hand,
but a stunning blow on the jaw sent
him to the floor of the car. Policeman
Burke of the city hall was then called.
The Texan and the pickpocket had
struggled out on the rear platform,
and when the thief got a glimpse of
the officer he wrenched his right hand
free and seizing the bill book from his
pocket threw it into the street. The
thief attacked the officer, but Burke
drew his pocket stick and soon con-
quered him. He was taken to the
Leonard street station. He said he
was William Conley, 23 years old, a
clerk.
Soon Have Absolute Title.
New York, Aug. 13.—By act of con-
gress of 1893, 3,110,400 acres of land
in the Indian Territory were condi-
tionally ceded to the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad. This land has not
yet fallen into the absolute possession
of the railroad, but will change hands
during next few weeks. It is under-
stood that the land will be offered for
public sale immediately after and will
be disposed of by the railroad exactly
as was that in Kansas during the last
few years.
Wounded by Watchman.
Marlow, I. T., Aug. 14.—About 1
o’clock Tuesday morning the town con-
stable, who acts as night watchman
for the town, heard an explosion in
the rear of the postoffice, and walking
around to ascertain the cause of the
noise, discovered two or three men
coming out of the back door who, on
being ordered to stop, opened fire on
the constable and broke to run. The
constable returned the fire as the men
ran, which resulted in serious wound-
ing of one of the robbers.
The decision was based upon two
grounds—first, the freedom of the press
is impaired; second, the right of trial
by jury is invaded.
Terrific Storm.
Greenville, S. C., Aug. 13.—A terrific
electrical storm visited this section,
doing considerable damage in the mill
village of the American Spinning com-
pany. A six room house was struck
and Miss Victoria Levi and Miss Busbee
were almost instantly killed, ding-
ham Ward was also struck, but is still
living, although his condition is still
serious. Four children of the Russell
family, who were occupants of the
house, were also shocked into uncon-
sciousness.
The Crandall toy works of Pennsyl-
vania have bought a large tract of
lumber and mineral land in North
Georgia, a short distance from Chat-
itanooga. The company is having a
'railroad line built through the center
of this tract. In the centre of the
itract the company will erect a town
of its own. A large factory will be
built at this point, and houses for the
workmen. The town will be built and
operated after the manner of Pull-
man, Ill. Surveyors are at work sur-
veying branch lines of railroad
through the tract. Coal mines will be
opened and fuel and raw material will
be supplied in abundance to operate
one of the greatest toy concerns in
America.
Nearly Destroyed;"
Christiana, Aug. 14.—Four-fifths of
the town of Farsund, on the North Sea,
has been destroyed by fire. The

schools have been gutted. About 1200
people were rendered homeless.

that he did not feel called upon to take
the initiative in any investigation of
Deputy Commissioned Devery or Ward-
man Glenner in connection with the
alleged tipping off of poolrooms. He
said he had asked District Attorney
Phibin to make prompt and forcible
prosecution of both men in case the
evidence in the district attorney’s pos-
session should indicate them to be
guilty.
Gov. Odell’s private secretary, James
G. Graham, called on District Attorney
Philbin. He delivered a letter from
the governor requesting the district
attorney to inform him, as soon as pos-
sible, of all the facts in the recent ac-
cusations against the police deport-
ment.
Immediately after the proceedings
before Justice Jerome, in which the
cases against Whitney and Burgorff
were put over, a conference was held
by the justice, Frank Moss, of the So-
ciety for the Prevention of Crime, and
Assistant District Attorney Schurman
and others from his office. The confer-
ence was to decide the further steps
toward offenders yet to be named. The
conference lasted from 2 till 7 p. m.,
and Whitney and Burgdorff were sub-
mitted to a further secret examination.
Deputy Superintendent Hammand
and Agent Dillon of the Society for the
Prevention of Crime, brought a myster-
ious witness into the room and it is
said the man gave evidence corroborat-
ive of that given by the two prisoners
as to the acceptance of money believed
to have reached the police fro illegal
resorts.
Asked as to what had taken place.
Justice Jerome refused to go into de-
tails. He said, however, that he had re-
ceived a letter from Gov. Odell regard-
ing the alleged acceptance of money by
the police and that he had answered.
He would not give out the letter or an-
swer.
To be Dismantled.
Youngstown, 0., Aug. 13.—The offi-
cial announcement was made Monday
afternoon that the Youngstown plant
of the American San company would
be dismantled and the machinery ship-
ped to other r’ants of the concern.
These works employ seventy-five
hands.
An order has been given for the
erection of a monument to Jennie
Wade on the battle field of Gettysburg.
Jennie Wade was a young Iowa wom-
jan who was visiting at the home of
'her sister in Gettysburg when the bat-
tle began. Her fiance was in the
Union army, and was killed.. She
and her sister were in a large brick
house almost within the Union lines.
On the morning of the third day word
came to the house that many of the
soldiers were suffering for want of
food, and the women set about mak-
ing biscuits and bred for the soldiers.
Jennie was engaged in this task when
a musket ball went through the kitch-
en, killing the young woman.

New York, Aug. 13.—Edgar A. Whit-
ney, the man who has made the state-
ment to Justice Jerome on Saturday in
which he said that the police and the
agents of several crusading societies
accept money for protection from pool-
room keeper was interviewed in the
Tombs.
He said: “My relation with Chief
Devery at police headquarters were
merely those of a business man. 1
went to see him several times in con-
nection with my legitimate business
as a private secretary of the firm of

tors with the precincts, I do not say

Sixty-Seven Years Together. ■
The Independence, Kan., Tribune. ■
prints the picture of Henry and Eliza 1
Foreman, who are about to celebrate- \
the sixty-seventh anniversary of their
wedding. There have been some rather
unusual coincidences in the lives of
this aged couple. They were born in
the same year in the same county.
They went to the same school and be-
longed to the same church. They com-
menced their married life in Montgom-
ery county, Kentucky, and they are
spending their declining years in Mont-
gomery county, Kansas. They are the-
parents of thirteen children.
New Place for Corsets.
A Manila exchange tells of an Ameri-
can soldier who, while stationed in
Bulacan, became enamored of a pretty
Filipino. Wishing to show his affection,
he purchased and sent to her a com-
plete outfit of American clothing.
When next he called he found her ar-
rayed in all the pretty things, but she-
had made one radical mistake. This
was with the corsets,which had caused
her a great deal of worry before she
discovered what she took to be the use
for which they were intended. Then
she unlaced them and put on the two-
pieces as leggings.__________
Drinks Not Allowed.
The new king and queen of England

from the village vicars, each of whom
has in his hands a sum of money pro-
vided by the king to treat necessitous-
cases in any required way.
