ABDUCTORS TAKEN. | THIRTEEN LIVES Lost. Tables Turned on the Bold Kidnapers of Millionaire Perrien. Twenty-one weeks ago tonight Joseph Per- rien, & millionaire miller living in Detroit, was abducted from his home ou Catharine street by some bold kidnapers who were bent on extor- | tion. The nature of the crime and the promi- nenceand wealth of Mr. Perrien attracted widespread attention, « fall account appear- ing in Tur Star at the time. The people of Detroit were startled to realize that such a bold crime could be committed under theireyes, and the police put forth every effort to capture the criminals. The closing scone in the bold drama was enacted yesterday afternoon when the police arrested the ab- ductors, who belong to the famous “Considine” gang. This gang has been charged with robberies, burglaries, ‘safe crackings, gigantic swindles, murders and numerous other crimes, and in the Past ten years has been a menace to the safet: of Detroit people. Its members, by detiance of officers in public and by means of political pulls, have often escaped conviction, but the evidence against them Las never been so clear | as in thix great abuuction case. ‘The story of the abduction is best told as fol- lows: Abvut 10 o'clock on the evening of March 19 Mr. Perrien was at home enjoying a game of dominoes with his niece when the door bell | rang. The servant being out Mr. Perrien an- | swered the beil and was handed @ note, pur- Porting to be from 4 well-known physician, Asking him to hasten to the house of his bosom friend, Edward Strange, who had suddenly been taken ill. ‘The ioje was presented by @ young man who had a coupe waiting for Mr. ferrien. JUMPED INTO THE COUPE. The wealthy miller hurried out of the hous and jumped into the coupe, which had no other | occupant. When the rig had been driven nearly a mile Mr. Perrien attempted to alight and started to get the door open, as be feured soimething was wrong. The speed was slack- ened at that moment and two men jumped into the coupe. The street was comparatively deserted and the night was dark. One of the men pushed a revolver into Mr. Perrien’s face and cautioned him to keep quiet. The other gagged and bound him. He kept ict and the men immediately blindfolded him, he team was driven for over balf an hour, and then Mr. Perrien, #till blindfolded, was taken into a room in x house. Once in tie room the men partially removed the bandage from bis yee and compelled himn-at the point of a re- volver to sign « check for $15,000 on the Penin- suia Savings Bank and « note for the same | alount. Mr. Perrien was also compelled to write a ote to his nephew and mece, asking them, | for God's sake,” to secure his safety by getting the 330,000 without delay and paying it over to the persons who would meet them at tie corner of Jay street and Cass avenue at 20 o'clock tie night foliowing. dr. Perrien s nephew and niece waited for him, and at 1 o'clock the young man who had brought the first note rang the bell and handed im the note from Mr. Perrien, the check and the note for $15,000. ‘Ihe young mun then hurried away. ‘The nephew, Albert Hesselbacher, hastened to see Mr. Perrien’s attoruey, and after a short | consultation it was decided’ to notiiy the po- tice and give the ailair widespread notoriety in | order to frighten the criminals and secure Mr. The uewspapers contumed | full accounts of the abduction. BLINDFOLDED AND RELEASED. The captors, seeing they could get no money, blindfolded Mr. Perrien on the following eve ing, took him out on tite street and walked him through dark streets and alleys for nearly an hour. They left him at a dark corner, and by the time he got the bandage off his eyes the men had disappeared. Had Mr. Perrien's friends waited until late in the evening with- out notifying any one but the pohee the ab- ductors could provably have been captured that night, but the publicity given the matter apparently headed otf ail possibility of getting the men. z Shrewd detectives were employed on the case and have been working diligently for five months. From the descriptions of the men given by Mr. Perrien and surrounding circum- stances, and by carcfully spotting all horses and rigs which answered the descriptions, they soon got on the trail of the men and for over three months have been adding valuable links to the chain of evidence, which is now complete. Yesterday afternoon the police raiued Frank Weithof # gambling den on Cadillac square and arrested Tilly Considine, Frank Grifith and Tom Kennedy, all members of the Considine gang. Billy Considine drew a revolver, but changed his mind and sprang out of the back door into the alley. He gained rapidly on the officer pursuing liim, but the police were on the lookout and as he turned a corner another officer pushed « revolver in his face and brought him to a sudden stop. A few minutes later Jim McDowell, Johnny Considine and Eddie Kent, other members of the gang, were ar- yeated in another resort und lodged behind the ri. Johnny Considine, the shrewd leader of the gang, kept a resort on Griswold street. Billy Considine is the man who put the revolver to Perrien’s head in the coupe; Grifiiths, the one who bound aud gagged him. Kent was the driver of the rig, and the others were generally instrumental in’ concocting the #heme. The crooks did some extremely clever work. After bis release Mr. Perrien offered a re- ‘The reward will go to the three or four officers who worked up the case. a LOST ON A MOUNTAIN, Experience of Two Austrian Students—One Falls Over a Precipice.

A terrible disaster occurred at Cold Spring Harbor, L. L., yesterday afternoon, by. which thirteen persons lost their lives and many men, women and children were injured. Tho steamer Crystal Stream, with the barge Re- public in tow, and having aboard about 500 adults and as many children on the excursion of the employes of Theodore Kayser, dry goods merchant of 197 Graham avenue, Brook- lyn, E. D., was returning to Brooklyn. The younger people were dancing. Just then some heavy clouds covered the sky; then came ual, the wind driving everything before it. The boat hands, anticigating 4 shower. had let down the canvas curtains which are attached to the hurricane deck of the barges, and fast- ened them down to the port side. ‘This pre- vented the wind from blowing throngh, and | ax one strong gust struck the barge it lifted the starboard side of the hurricane deck clear from off its fastenings and supports, and forced it and the posts and partitions in'the center over to the port side. As it pushed over the end of the deck nearest | the dock to which the barge was fastened it | dropped down upon the hundreds of women and children who had crowded over to that side | of the barge in an effort to escape. In a mo- ment the air was rent with screams and agoniz~ ing cries of the poor victims, whose lives were | being crushed out and limbs broken. ‘The | ncene was heartrending in the extreme, and the excitement caused by the friends and reia- tives of those on the barge, who were on the steamer, only added to the pandemoniuin which prevailed. ‘The officers, deck hands and other men on the steamer lost no time in reaching the barge and doing all in their power to rescue all whom they could from the wrec!

Arthur Allen Digby Marsh, second son of Brigadier General W. D. Marsh, royal engineers of the queen's forces in Ireland, is behind the bars at police headquarters at Hartford, Conn., bleeding from several wounds and sleeping off bad debauch. It is the third time that Digby has been locked up in that city, but today will be the first time that he will appear before the court to receive punishment. The story of Arthur Allen Digby Marsh is a romantic one. The son of one of Britain's bravest officers, grand nephew of Sir Henry Marsh and second. cousin to Lady Beresford, he nas fallen to the lowest depths and today will sit in the police dock side by side with common drunkards and vagrants. He was arrested yesterday while en- deavoring to force an entrance to the house of his wife, and is charged with drunkenness and brench of’ the peace. A policeman’s club has bruised and cut his face in many places, but the charge of resisting an officer will not be pressed against him. Digby Marsh, who is_now thirty-one years of age, was sent through Eaton and iater cducated at Sandhurst. After his gradnation he took a subaltern’s commission in the thirty-first Foot. His military carcer was brief. Wild debaachery and large baccarat debts made his resignation ce w necessity. His father paid these debts and gave Digby a chance to reform, but he did not. Four years ago the general disinherited him, giving him money enough to carry him to America. On landing im this country he immediately wont to Hartford to fords. The father, Dr. Beresford, was one of the best-known plisicians in New England, aud a first cousin of the father of Lord Churlex Beres- ford, the naval hero of Alexatdria. Young Marsh is a second cousin of the present Lady Beresford, and thus it was that he came to visit with the Hartford family. _ The young made no effort at reforma- tion, but this did not deter Miss Franees Bares- ford, his senior by nearly a dozen years and the possessor of « handsome income, from fail Her family didn't approve of her infatuation, but she was bound to marry him, aud she Storrs A.

Advertising. Primarily what an advertiser seeks ts PUBLICITY for such announcements as he wishes to make. And the wider the Publicity the better, other things being equal. He might just as well put the money he pays for advertising into an old stock- ing and bury it in the back yard as to print his inducements where they will not be seen by the particular people whose attention he aims to attract. What be Should use, therefore, is THE NEWSPA- PER THAT IS READ BY THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PERSONS LIKELY TO WANT WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER. Mere EXTENT of circulation does not always insure the kind of publicity required by the advertiser. It is the QUALITY of cir culation that tells, as well as its extent. That, ideed, is the vitel factor in the Problem the advertiser has to solve. Sen- Sational and scandalous cess-pool jour- nals, that are chietly circulated in the slums of a city, and read by the riff-raff of the town, may and often do have a very considerable circulation, as the number of copies printed and handled indicate, but they are merely glanced at to see whether ‘the new scandal ts worse than the oid one, @nd then tossed into the gutters, where they belong. They are consequently wort nothing to the man or woman whose aim is to reach reputable and responsible peo- ple who will probabiy become customers {f sufficient inducements are held out. What is needed in such @ case is anen- terprising, bright, alert, clean-cut, care- fully edited FAMILY newspaper,—one that can safely be put in any hands, whose contents tell the whole world’s news story of today. (not of last week or yesterday) and which 1s eagerly and profitably read from beginning to end every day by every member of the household, from its dual head down to the help in the basement, and especially by the ladies and children of the family. Such a journal is THE EVENING sTaR. It has both EXTENT and QUALITY of circulation within the field it occupies in @ greater degree than any other paper in the world. In these respects ‘t is abso- lutely without @ rival, anywhere, and there is no paper in Washington worth talking about in comparison with it. In verification of this claim, LOOK AT THE FIGURES: For the six months ending with the 30th of June last THE STAR'S average daily circulation was 34,064. For a popula- tion of 250,000 this aggregate is some- ‘thing phenomenal, even where the city of publication is surrounded by prosperous ‘and populous villages and thickly settled agricultural districts, as most places of ‘that size are. In this respect, however, ‘Washington differs from other cities. She is practically isolated, having few outly- ing towns subordinate to her or identified with her interests. The circulation of THE STAR 1s, consequently, almost en- trely a HOME CIRCULATION, with « jarger percentage of the whole output regularly delivered by carriers at the res- idence of permanent subscribers within the city where printed than any other Paper that can be named, no matter in what city or country the same may be printed. This is demonstrated by the fol lowing daily average UNPARALLELED SHOWING: ‘Served by carriers in the city, - - 23,377 Miscellaneous sales, over coun- ter, by news stands, news-boys, mw, - - = © = © o OS By mail to outlying pointa, - - - 1,415 Total - - - = - - 34,066 bout these figures. They are substan- ated under the solemn obligations of an cath, and they may be further verified by an examination of the books of the office and inspection of its press and delivery rooms on the part of any person having interest in the correctness of the exhibit. Few newspapers are willing to submit to so trying an ordeal. But THE STAR ges it cheerfully. It has nothing tocon- ceal, and no motive for exaggeration. The truth is good enough for it. FAIR DEALING is ite business motto. As THE STAR in- sists on its right to know how many pounds of ink it gets when it buys barrel of that article,and how many pounds of paper it pays for in one of the immense Tolls delivered at ite press rooms, so it is ‘willing that its advertising patrons shall know exactly HOW MUCH and WHAT KIND of publicity they are getting when they put an announcement in its columns, It claims to be THE one Washington pe per that is taken by the family, for the family, and read by the family, and es pecially by all the people in the city who ‘want things and are able to pay for them, and it ie willing to have its claims sub- Jected to the most exhsustive and conclu- sive tests that can bé devised. In other ‘words, and in short, THE STAR COVERS THE WHOLE FIELD. ITS FAMILY CIR- CULATION IN WASHINGTON IS THREE TIMES AS LARGE AS THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER, AND THE NUMBER OF ITS READERS IN THE CITY IS FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN TEAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER. ‘These are the qualities that constituts “Values in Advertising.” .
