Garnett, Capt. Shuff; No. i13, Capt. Creamer. The First Run. ‘The Chevy Chase hunters and the Chevy Chase hounds on Saturday made their first hunt of the season. The start was made from the club house in the presence of a large number of fashionables. The horses were eager for the run, and the hounds more so. All the best riders and horses of the club participated. The course taken was almost a circular one. Stiff jumps were taken throughout the chase. Two accidents befell the riders, one to Mr. N: ville and one to Mr. Wallach. The former's horse fell short in a ditch, with the usual consequences, and the latter's horse went to pieces on the field with fatigue. For a time it was thought he would die,but he was finally brought around all right. The first three horsemen in were Messrs. Saporatus, on Impulse; Earle, on Woster, and Halloway, on Shamrock. Appointed Receiver. Mr. Archibald Greenlees of the firm of Agnew & Co., coal merchants, bas been appointed receiver in the case of the Cen- tral Trust Company against the Washington and Arlington Railway Company. Ever since the shutting down of the Ar- lington road Mr. Greenlees has been re- ceiver of the Virginia end, but not having control of the power house and machinery located on 30th street in Georgetown, he has been practically unabie to do anything toward the running of the road or the set- tement of its tangled affairs. His appointment as receiver in the Dis- trict removes all obstacles, and it is said that the road will now be either operated or sold. Since the suspension of traffic the rolling stock of the road has fared badly, owing to the absence of protecting sheds and the consequent damage by rain and weather. A Church Fire. A fire broke out yesterday afternoon in the upper portion of Grace Church. It | smoked considerably and for a time it look- ed as if a serious loss would result. The |engine responded quickly to the alarm turned in and a crowd larger than usual || reeponded with it. The firemen worked hard | with their hose and after a long time suc- ceeded in making water victorious over the flames. The loss to the building is esti- mated at $250, and to the church furniture | at about $50. Insurance will cover the loss. The Potomac of Georgetown and the Peo- ple’s were the companies caught. The Collectorship. Talk of the subject of the collectorship of the port of Georgetown has either died |down entirely or is being carried on in the stillest sort of an undertone. It is the gen- eral belief now that there will be no change in the office for at least a year, Mr. John- son’s term not expiring until December, 1594. At the Georgetown custom house, last week, the following entries were made: manufactured bone, $1.02; wearing apparel, | $2.11; liquors, $2.88; prepared meats, $1. books, 65 cents; earthenware, $5.! furn! ture, $6.33; cigars, $4.81; woodenware, $1.08. Total, $26.44, Notes. A magnificent granite shaft has just been erected at Oak Hill over the remains of the gs William Laird, jr.,.who for so many yeai was cashier of the Farmers and Mechanics’ National Bank of this place,and who died suddenly at Saratoga Springs a very short time after his resignation from the honorable position. The Rev. Mr. Griffith of Epiphany Church, Washington, addressed at St. John’s last night over 150 young men. His talk was excellent and interesting, keeping the ai tention of the congregation upon him dur- ing the entire delivery. A colored boy employed by Mrs, Shugh- rue of the Conduit road embezzied a small sum of money on Saturday and was locked | up. ——~__ FALL OF THE DOW SMARCK, It Was Brought About by a Court Conspiracy. A Berlin dispatch copyrighted by the United Press says: The old interest in Bis- marck’s fall will be revived by the state- ment of his semi-official organ, the Leipsic Neueste Nachrichten, that he demands the publication of his memorial to the emperor, in which he contended that he should not and would not resign, except at the em- peror’s command. “This memorial,” says the writer, “be- trigue, led by Herr von Boetticher, who | owed all he was to Bismarck, that caused | the prince's retirement. Boetticher is the | man who originally fanned the differences between the emperor and Bismarck to the white heat of anger. Boetticher knew the young emperor's enthusiasm for the Grand Duke of Baden’s and Dr. Hingpeter’s so- clal-political ideas, and he worked upon the emperor's mind against the prince. Boetticher also trimmed his sails in good time and voted in the cabinet council against the prince on the labor reform pro- posals. Gen. Verdy du Vernois, war min- ister, voted with Bismarck, but afterward ran after the emperor and, on the stair- case, gave him the false assurance that his honor to vote against the emperor. This erroneous statement at once roused the emperor's wrath and gave Boetticher the first victory over his chief. Dr. Hinzpeter, Count Douglas and Herr von Heyden, the ed the plot to overthrow the chancellor. Ludwig Windhorst’s memorable visit to Bismarck was a trap laid for the prince. It was intended to make the emperor be- Heve that the chancellor was negotiating for support in resisting the imperial plans, The prince’s enemies kept the emperor well informed of his every movement. Hence the emperor's early visit to the prince on the morning following the evening on which Windhorst made his call “Count Botho zu Eulenburg also was a special foe of the prince. He, with Loh- mann and Minister Thielen, joined the con- spirators in preparing the final coup. This was arranged at the house of Mme. de Leb- Caprivi. There Caprivi and Herr Schwa- bacher, Bl¢ichroeder’s partner in the bank- ing business, met in conference several times. It was soon after the last conference that the emperor violently ruptured his relations to the prince.” These relations are stamped with the seal of genuine information, which could have come only from Bismarck’s most intimate friends. They are certain to cause a stir throughout the empire and to evoke en- venomed explanations from the persons im- plicated, ——~+e-+—____ Mary Tower, aged one hundred years and four months, died Saturday at Lor- raine, a suburb of Elizabeth, N.

Dupuy Refuses to Resume the Prem- jership. President Carnot of France conferred | With M. Cassimer-Perier, president of the chamber, Saturday evening, and offered him the premiership. The latter, who had Just retired, refused to accept the offer and recommended Dupuy. Yesterday morning the conference was repeated, M. Carnot still urging Cassimer-Perier to form a cab- inet and the president of the clamber still declining in favor of the last premier. Eventually Carnot sent for Dupuy. His invitation was curtly declined. M. Dupuy was so chagrined by his experience Satur- day that he would not even consent to consult with the president. M. Meline went to the president in re- sponse to summons for an interview. He Was requested to form a cabinet, but he would not consider the matter. At the present juncture, he said, Dupuy was the only possible premier. Later in the after- noon Cassimer-Perier called upon Dupuy and besought him to form the new cabinet. Dupuy persisted in his refusal. The presiden<’s offer of the premiership to Cassimer-Perier is regarded as a politi- cal trap. The president of the chamber is known to have hopes of securing the presidency of the republic next year. It is reasonably certain that the ministry formed now will fail before the election, and a fallen premier is always out of the race for the presidency. Carnot’s idea was, it is said, to make Cassimer-Perier the vic- Um of this course of events. At M. Carnot’s request M. Challemel- Lacour, president of the senate, called upon M. Dupuy early last evening and tried to persuade him to form a cabinet. Dupuy refused unconditionally to do so. It is be- | lieved that the crisis will continue through- out the week. Cause of the Ministry's Downfall, For weeks M. Dupuy has been trying to | eliminate the radical element from the cab- inet without risking his own office. He had- so far succeeded Saturday morning that M. | Peytral had signed his resignation, which | Was to be submitted to President Carnot after the vote in the chamber, as reported in the dispatches to The Star. Peytral, | however, was so much incensed against | Dupuy that he informed his friends at once of the premier’s behavior toward him. They, profiting by Dupuy’s remarkable performance in demanding a vote of confi- | dence in a cabinet part of which he intend- ed to crowd from office, instigated M. Pelle- tan to expose the whole plot and show how |the premier was playing a double game contrary to all parliamentary etiquette. It was this course of events which precipi- | tated the crisis. Throughout the sitting the deputies heard rumors that Peytral, Viette and Terrier had already resigned, but the rumors were not confirmed until shortly before Pelletan rose, In reply to Pelletan’s question whether he was addressing the whole cabinet, M. Du- puy said: “The whole cabinet is before you; Say on.” Then came the outbreak of the radicals, the accusations of falsehood and the gen- eral denunciation of the ministry. The re- | sult was exactly what M. Peytral had hoped and expected. The ministers, with the exception of Pey- tral, Viette and Terrier, immediately re- paired to the committee room, conferred briefly, and then resolved to resign. Tney went to the Elysee, where President Car- not, already informed of the scene in the chamber, received them and accepted their resignations. TRAINMEN'’S BRAVE WORK. By Plucky Fighting They Frustrated Attempts to Wreck a Train. Goshen, Ind., was thrown into a fever of excitement Saturday night by a desperate attempt made, almost within the city limits, to wreck the New York fast express on the Lake Shore road, which is due there at 12:08. At 12 o'clock a shrill whistling in the Lake Shore yards and from the water works plant, which is very close to the Lake Shore freight depot, brought two of the night police and a number of citizens | to the scene. They found the first section of No. 6), the Chicago and New York fast meat freight, in the yards and a badly battered train crew. The first section of No. 6) pulled out of | Elkhart Saturday night at 10 with orders to run to Ligonier without st All seemed well with the train, but when about a mile from Elkhart, ‘the conductor, John Hickok, and two brakemen were atiacked by a band of eight tramps, who it is since learned boarded the train at Elkhart, and had been concealed between the cars. They ove-- powered the crew and were proceeding to disconnect the last ten cars, when the crew, reinforced by the engineer and fireman, re- gained control of the train. A second attempt was made five miles further on, and from that point into Goshen, a run of four miles, a desperate fight was waged between the eight robbers and the crew. Conductor Hickok, who knew the imminent danger that No. 12 was in of run- | ning into the freight, encouraged the brake- | men and an extra conductor, Campbell, who | happened to be or: the train, and they waged a successful fight until the train reached the Goshen yards. The battle for the control of the train was desperate for the last four miles, and Con- ductor Hickok was badly bruised and pum- meled, as also one of the brakemen, who re- sides at Elkhart. The robbers secured four watches and all the money belonging to the crew. The engineer whistled for help, and officers were quickiy upon the scene. | That the eight robbers who were upon |the train when it arrived in the Goshea {yards should escape seems incredible, but | such is the fact. Owing to the dazed co: | dition of the crew and the ignorance of | those at Goshen as to the cause of the stop- ; Ping and alarm, they eluded capture. Two were subsequently arrested, however, and the sheriff and a posse are in hot pursuit of another. Henry Zimmerman was arrest- | ed within the city limits, and later in the morning William Cone was captured. | The plan of the robbers was one which would, had it been successfully carried out, have caused great loss of life and money. They were endeavoring to leave eight or ten cars of the freight on the track, into which they expected No. 12, which was fol- | lowing close after, would dash. In the sub- Sequent wreck it is surmised that the wreckers expected to get away with ¢ siderable booty from the express car. The place where the first attempt was m: one mile from Elkhart, was one sing 4 well adapted for that kind of work. It is a sparsely settled location, and one of t darkest places on the Lake Shore road. There isa rather sharp curve there, as is also one not far from Goshen. No. 12, the fast express, is the sam: which was so successfully looted at ler two months ago, and jg.a very heavy train, never being made up of less than ten or eleven cars. A reward of $4,000 will be posted all over the surrounding country for the arrest and conviction of th: he bers, or $00 for the arrest and con of any one of them. so Personal Men Capt. Douglas M.
