LOUIS, Mo., September 25.—A mod- estly dressed man, who took a place at the door of the Standard Theater last night, was found to be Frank James, the once noted desperado, train robber and high- wayman. He was tendered the position a few days ago and accepted it. Said he: “I have abandened the race course. It has ceased to be profitable, and I have a son now seventeen years of age, and if I had continued in the business he would have drifted into it also. I do not say that the business is disgraceful; oh, not that, for I have met hundreds of gentlemen on the track. Some of my best friends are there. But of course there are bad ones to be found on a race course, and somehow or other, you cannot tell why exactly, but these are the kind a young man generally falls in with. I have therefore forsaken a following that has afforded me so much amusement and entertainment for his sake. “In the future I will be in the theatrical line—not on the stage, but in the business office, or at the door or somewhere near about where the money is taken in. I have commenced at the bottom round, and ex- pect to work my way gradually. There is money in the business when you work it right.” “So you will never go on the stage?” “Never. I have no merit in that line and no sort of practice would make me an ac- tor. I have opportunities to go before the footlights. Immediately after my acquit- tal and vindication I was offered $52,0U0 a@ year by a New York company, but I de- clined it. “In the future my home will be in St. Louis. I am tired of roaming around. I shall try to find my son a place in a com- mercial house, and we will live together. To make a quiet, steady, sober man of him is now my highest ambition.” ——_—. Ambassador Bayard Coming Home.

HALL PACKED WITH ENTHUSIASTS Ex-President Harrison Introduced the Speaker. POINTS IN HIS ADDRESS INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 25.— The formalities of opening the republican campaign in Indiana were gone through here today. Upon ‘Gov. McKinley of Ohio devolved the duty of making the declaration of war upon the intrenched democracy of hoosierdom. The occasion was given added consequence by the presence of ex-Presi- dent Harrison, who, in a ten-minute speech of introduction, presented Ohio’s governor to the thousands who packed Tomlinson Hall to the very walls. A large gathering of enthusiasts it was that faced the two famous leaders of the republican party, compressed and therefore complaining, but intent. and respectful and most cordially responsive. Calling on McKinley. During the morning Governor McKinley was visited at the hotel by hundreds. Quite all of the prominent republicans of the state have come to the capital today and they individually paid their respects. Dele- gations coming from various points through- out the state marched from the train to the hotel, some of them with bands of music and cheering loudly for McKinley. Gov. Matthews sent his private secre- tary in his carriage for his fellow chief executive. A great many have come in from outside the city to join the local republicans, swell- ing the crowd to great proportions and making it impossible for the hall to ac- eo half of those who wanted to ear. At Tomlinson Hall. Shortly after noon ex-President Harrison called on Gov. McKinley at his hotel, and at 12:30 a procession was formed, which escorted the ex-President and the governor by an indirect route to the hall, where they were uproariously cheered on enter- ing. Gen. Harrison presided. When he could obtain a hearing, after the subsidence of the long-continued applause, he made a characteristic speech of introduction, in which he spoke of McKinley's contest for the republican cause of protection, and his successful administration as governor of Ohio, which had been given the approval last fall of the biggest plurality vote that — had cast for any candidate since the war. Gov. McKinley, on arising, was given a round of cheers, prolonged and lo Gov. McKinley’s Address. Gov. McKinley, in his speech here today upon public affairs, opened with an eulo- gistic reference to the administration of President Harrison, under which the coun- try prospered as it had never prospered be- fore or since. More manufactures made by American workingmen, more of the pro- ducts of American farms were sent out to the markets of the worla during President Harrison's administration than were ever before sent away in exchange for foreign gold, or have since been exported. Men found employment without difficulty and wages were good. Peace and prosperity were in the land. Since that day in No- vember, 1802, when President Harrison and the republican party were voted out of the administrative and executive offices of the national gove:nment a great change has occurred. Every one of the conditions which then existed bas been altered, and the na- tion has learned by bitter experience a les- son in the practical application of politics which the people have had an abundance of time to ponder, for they have not had much else to do. As an evidence that the people are not satisfied, a comparison was made between the election returns of 1892 and those of most recent date, instances being given of republican gains, which Gov. McKinley re- garded as indisputable proof that there was not only a general regret that a change of administration had been made, but also a dissatisfaction with the course of democ- racy in its disposal of the great public questions vitally affecting the workshops and firesides of the workman of America. The address was devoted almost wholly to a discussion of the tariff, and especially of the effect of the democratic tariff law. A decided sensation was sprung by the governor. He presented a phase of the law recently passed which was a startling sur- prise to the audience. The sugar schedule of the law (schedule E) In effect provides for a continuation of the treaty of 1875, made with the King of the Hawaiian Islands, under which all su- gar from those islands was, and is, under the law of 1894, admitted free. The lan- guage of the schedule quoted is: “Provided, further, that nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to abro- gate or in any manner impair or affect the Provisions of the treaty of commercial re- ciprocity concluded between the United States and the King of the Hawalian Islands on the 30th day of January, 1875, or the provisions of any act of Congress heretofore passed for the execution of the same.” This provision was inserted in the law by the Senate. “It gives to the great sugar trust,” said Gov. McKinley, “an advantage which has not heretofore been suspected. The sugar production of the Hawalian Islands is un- der the control of the sugar trust; that country is the fleld of its primary opera- tions. The democratic party took away from the sugar raisers of the United States the bounty of ten million dollars a year and bestowed a bounty of six millions of dol- lars a year on the sugar producers of the Hawalian Islands, giving them an advan- tage over not only the sugar producers of the United States, but of the whole world outside of those islands.” The revolt of the Louisiana planters against the party which had smitten them so heavily was referred to, and Gov. Mc- Kinley pointed out that it was the repub- lican party, so freely accused of sectional- ism, which had conferred benefits upon them which had been opposed by demo- cratic statesmen and removed as soon as they had an opportunity to do so. The gov- ernor maintained that, instead of being sectional, the republican party had shown itself to be entirely unsectional, broad and unselfish in its purposes and national in its Policies, — 7 THE COURTS.

Still Dragging for pe Remains of James edged How He Met His Death by Being Run Down by a Tuitboat—Escape of His Coripanions, ray Early this morning the police boat Joe Blackburn and a number of small boats were out on the river im sight of the ar- senal. The members of the crew of the police boat, as well as the occupants of the other boats, were making # careful search of the bed of the river for the body of James McL. Rodgers, a colored man, who was drowned yesterday afternoon. Rodgers’ death was the result of an unfortunate accident,which his friends think should be investigated. There were four men in a boat fishing in the navy yard channel, and a coal barge, being pushed by a tug, struck the small craft with such force that it was upset and its occupants thrown in the river, Rodgers being the only one whose life was lost. Conrad Schwab, the baker at 1211 H street northwest; his son George, and Rodgers and his son Allan were in the boat at the time of the fatal occurrence. The four men had their lines in the water and were enjoying an afternoon's fishing, when the tug Gilmore Meredith, Capt. Ross, came up the river, pushing two coal barges of the Consolidation Coal Company of Bal- timore. When the tug and barges were within several hundred feet of the fishermen Mr. Schwab suggested that they move toward the shore. “Oh, no,” said Rodgers, “the boats will Pass on the outside.” Rua Down by the Tug. But George Schwab thought there was danger and he started to lift anchor. His father was in the stern of the boat, and he had started to get up when the end of the coal barge struck him and knocked him overboard. Just then the boat upset and the other three occupants went overboard. Exactly how long they were in the river is not known, but to them it seemed as if they were under the water fully an_hour. ‘They were under the barges, and Mr. Schwab, sr., was tossed about in the water urtil the barges had torn his clothing from him and bruised him considerably. When one boat had passed over him and he rose to the surface it was only to give him another dose of being tossed about and bruised. James, or “Jim,” Rodgers, as he was familiarly called, had also been under the boat, and when he rose to the surface he called to one of his unfortunate co panions, ‘George, take care of yourself.” Capt. Ross, seeing what had happened, lost no time in stopping the tvg and barges and throwing out a tife line to the drowning nen. Two boys in a boat also came to their assistance. James Rodgers was the only one of the Farty who was lost. His companions were satisfied that he had been injured by the barges, for he was an excellent swimmer and would undoubtedly have reached a place of safety had rot some injury been inflicted. Thivk There Should Be an Vvestiga- the The fishermen claim, that they were not in the Washington channel at the time of the accident, but that. their boat was on the edge of the flats, and they were fishing in the navy yard channel., According to their idea of affairs they were where they had a perfect right to be, and Rodgers’ friends are anxious that the circumstances of his death should be given ventilation by the proper authorities. “Jim” Rodgers was one of the best known colored men in this city, having been sexton of the New York Ayenue Presbyterian Church for many years. He was an expert with the rod and gurf, and among persons fond of these sports héthad many friends, including several Senators and members. He had made many ‘tips on the river in the country with kawyer Campbell Car- rington, who was particularly fond of him, and the sad occurrence of yesterday was a great shock to the lawyer. Mr. Carrington, upon hearing the gad news, communicated with a number of river men, and offered a reward for the recovery of his body. A rela- tive of the dead man will also pay for the recovery of his body. es UNITARIAN NATIONAL CONFERENCE, Proceedings at Saratoga Opened With a Religious Service. The fifteenth bienniat meeting of the na- tional conference of the Unitarian and other Christian churches was begun in the village hall at Saratoga, N. Y., last evening. The Scripture lesson was read by the Rev. Dr. George L. Chaney of Richmond, Va., and prayer was offered by the Rev. Joseph H. Crooker of Helena, Mon. The biennial sermon was preached by Prof. Francis G. Peabody of Harvard University. The theme was “The Summons to the Deep,” founded on the text contained in Luke, v., 4 and 5. In the course of his remarks, Prof. Pea- body said: “What is the present call to the Unita- rian Church which justifies this assemblage here? Ours is not the work of authority to supplant private judgment or to subordi- nate human reason. Ours is not the ap- peal to emotion, to convert the fires of pas- sion into the flames of consecration. Ours is not the great achievement of church ex- tension, nor .s ours the force of discipline. The ideals which invite us are persuasion. Thank God, we have no protective tariff in ideas, no fishery treaty which reserves to us one little bay. “Yet the traditions of the Unitarian Church bring us very near to the great spiritual problems of the day. Reneath and behind all the otner signs of the present age are these, that it is an age of great spiritual hunger and an age of grave social distress. The needs of the time are a prac- tical theism and a social conscience. To meet these great wants is the mission of our church today. It is all one sea of op- portunity whose tides we feel.” Porth ‘a Fire Cost Three Lives, It is now practically certain that three men lost their lives in the elevator fire at Portland, Oregon, Sunday. They were seen on top of the building while it was burning, and are believed to have perished in the flames. ‘They were Charles Anderson, machinery tender, who left a wife and child; Edward Murray, watchman, single, and rear ky weighmaster, who left a wife and child. None of these men has been seen since the fire, and there is no doubt that their remains will be found when the debris has been cleared away. see — ———— The Major Must Be Obeyed.

What Mr. Oldberg Charges Against Major A. A. Russell. MONEY OBTAINED -ON HIS PROPERTY A Curiously Tangled and Compli- cated Condition of Things. THE OASE GOES OVER ‘The arrest at the pension office yesterday of Maj. Alexander A. Russell, a pension examiner, as printed in yesterday's Star, was a surprise to the many friends of the major, who could not believe him guilty of wrong doing. As stated yesterday, he was arrested on complaint of John C, Oldberg, a clerk in the Indian office, who lives at 809 H street northwest. The case is a com- plicated one and involves the sum of $7,800, but just who got the money the prosecuting officer does not know. There is a striking similarity between Oldberg and Russell, and @ person not intimately acquainted with the men might easily mistake one for the other. The Oldbergs were more fortunate than many other persons in the matter of draw- ing money from Uncle Sam, for while the husband was getting his monthly allowance in the Indian office his wife was drawing @ salary in the pension office. It happened that Maj. Russeil and Mrs. Oldberg had desks near each other in the same division, and clerks in the oftice had often comment- ed on the fact of his so closely resembling Airs. Oldberg’s husband, Oldberg’s First Warning. Maj. Russell and Mrs. Oldberg soon be- came friends, and, it is stated, they were often seen engaged in an apparent confi- dential conversation. Mr. Oldberg suspected nothing wrong until a few months ago, when he received information that his prop- erty in the country had been so heavily in- cumbered with deeds of trust that it would be sold under the hammer unless the debts were paid. But Oldberg was unable to pay the amounts of the several deeds and the sale of the property made him penniless. ‘The services of Private Detective James A, McDevitt were engaged by Mr. Oldberg. When the real facts were made known the ruined man hesitated before bringing action against Maj. Ruseell, because ne did not want his wife’s name mentioned in connec- tion with the affair. But his property was wone, and he finally determined to ascer- tain, if possible, where his money had gone. An Interesting Chapter. During the investigation by the private detective it became necessary to have a picture of Maj. Russell to exhibit to the notaries public who had acknowledged the signatures to the deeds of trust, and this was obtained from Mrs. Russell, against whom a bill for divorce had been filed. And in this connection comes an interesting chapter in the history of Russell's career. Russell belonged in Missouri, and when he came here several years ago he had a wife living at his western home. Here ne met a Mrs. Harvey, who was ex- pecting to obtain a divorce, and their triendship afterward ripened into love. Mrs. Russell died, and then Mrs. Harvey, it is alleged, was assisted in her efforts to ob- tain a divorce by Maj. Russell. She was then his housekeeper, and one week after the divorce was granted the divorced wo- man and the major were married. In August of last year the major was ordered to held duty in Pennsylvania, and he left his wife here when he went away. From then until after the Christmas holidays he wrote to her, couching his letters in en- dearing terms and referrfng to her as “Daring” and “Pet” and signing them “Lovingly.” Russell Applied for Divorce. About the first of this year the letters ceased coming, end when he returned his wife was surprised to learn that he had ap- plied for a divorce on the grounds of drunk- enness and cruelty, alleging that she, a woman who weighs less than one hundred pounds, had stiffened his neck with a blow with her fist. He also alleged that she had stabbed him. In this cavse Judge Pettis of Pennsylvania appeared as his counsel, while Lawyer Fugitt represented the wife. She denied all his allegations, and last month the court ordered the payment of alimony. Mrs. Russeil still loves her husband, as does Mr. Oldberg his wife, and although Russell has instituted proceedings for di- vorce, his wife is willing to forget this and return to the object of her love and affec- tion. Although she furnished the picture, she claims it was not done to injure him, and she does not now want to see him puntshed. But her husband, the major, is not of the same forgiving frame of mind. He denies that he is guilty of the charge, and thinks his wife is in a conspiracy to ruin him. The Largest of the Transactions. The largest of the alleged fraudulent operations was a deed of trust recorded in November, 1892. This represents $5,000 to secure @ loan of $4,500, made by J. A. Maedel of the Washington Six Per Cent Building Association. In this and other transactions, aggregating $7,800, it is al- leged that Russell impersonated Oldberg, and the picture of the former played an important part in the identification. “Who got the money?” is the question Mr. Oldberg is asking. His wife, it is said, claims that she didn’t get it. Oldberg, of course, says he knows nothing of it, and Russell makes a similar claim. Some time ago the matter was investi- gated or inquired into by the pension office officials and letters written by Mrs. Old- berg may play an interesting part in the case later on. What Russell's Counsel Claims. Soon after the arrest yesterday, Maj. Rus- sell sent for Lawyer Campbell Carrington and employed him as counsel. Although the amount involved was so large, counsel succeeded in having bail fixed at $1,500, which was given and the defendant was re- leased. Today in the Police Court Lawyer Car- rington declared that his client was inno- cent of the charge and said he was the vic- tim of a conspiracy to injure him. Counsel asked for an immediate hearing in the case, but Mr. Mullowney said he could not have the case tried today because the notaries in the case were not in the city. The case went over until Thursday, Russell Will Not Be Dismissed. The commissioner of pensions will not dismiss Alexander A. Russell from the pension office unless the charges. made against him by John Oldberg are sustained. Investigation discloses that the Oldberg property was in the wife’s name, and under the District law she would have the author- ity to dispose of the land without the con- sent of her husband. It is said that for this reason Oldberg cannot claim the prop- erty, though he can prosecute Russell for forging his nat Sa Sailors Sick With Malarial Fever. The U. 8. 8. Columbia, which has been on guard at Bluefields with the Marblehead for several months, arrived at Port Limon yesterday. She has several men aboard sick with malarial fever, who will be ship- ped by the first steamer to the United States. It is believed at the Navy Depart~ ment that the men contracted malaria while the ship was lying in the Delaware and that it developed under the tropical sun of Nicaragua. The Columbia will re- turn to Bluefields. ——— Ww is an Extension of Time. The contractor in charge of the work or. the Port Royal, South Carolina, dock has applied to the Navy Department for an ex- tension of time to complete the work, as the time for finishing it under the contract, which has already been extended two or three times, expired on the 23d. While no action has yet been taken on the request it probably will be granted. ‘The work is said to be highly satisfactory to the department in spite of the delays, and it is thought the dock will probably be completed within a month, ‘Page 12 i ieggeeeeeegggeey oi » 2.8 Poe reasataaasaneabaasicassataasas mearsawncsuaesacnase HUttititt ett te Hitiititt titi ttt NORTHERN LANDS EXPLORED. Return of the University of Pennsyl- vania Expedition. Professor Hite and Messrs. Bucknell, Per- kins and Coates, comprising the University of Pennsylvania's expedition to northern Labrador, arrived at St. John’s, N. F., Sun- day night, after a two months’ successful exploration. The expedition started on the ill-fated steamer Miranda, their original in- tention being to proceed to Hamilton Inlet, and thence explore Grand Falls and the in- terior. But the iceberg accident to the Mi- randa, and the illness of Mr. Bucknell, who ‘was second in command of the expedition, compelled a modification of their plans, so they determined to explore Sandwich bay. They landed at Cape Charlies from the Miranda, Partial surveys. Messrs. Perkins and Coates penetrated 120 miles into the interior. They discovered many rapids and falls, and made a very ex- tensive natural nistory They vould have succeeded still better, but Mr. Bucknell’s illness, the result of a sunstrike before he left New York, became So serious that his companions were com- pelled to carry him to Cartwright, a Hud- son Bay Company's post. ‘Professor Hite Proposes returning there next year, and will charter a steamer to convey a party of professors and students. ———-eo A Domestic Scene. From the Detroit Tribune. As her eyes rested upon the patient figure of her husband her heart smote her. He started timidly, seemingly disconcerted by her unwonted manner. “Dearest,” she repeated, tenderly, “those oe were better than mother used to He was silent, but as he finished washing the dishes and proceeded to sew a button on her bloomers a glad smile irradiated his countenance. A kindly word had lifted his burden. ——ee-—_____ Been Ou Assignments. From the Kansas City Star. It is told of a certain Kansas City jour- nalist that when he went to a neighboring city he attended church one day. A deacon approached him and after some preliminary remarks imquired: “Are you @ Presbyterian?” — —, replied: “Yes, lama ‘terian, but I haven't been doing much at it lately.” ——-+e-+—___. ‘The Cry of Despair. From the Paris Gazette. Esrly on Sunday morning a man was leaning over the steamer's rail, with a look on his face which would make one think his last friend had gone instead of the pze- vious night's supper, when his wif Proached and inquired: nGrge . “John, have the children come up yet?” id in a mournful voice he answered: but almost everything else has.” +e Ammonia and the Hair. Ammonia is very cleansing. It has been known to take the paint off woodwork and the design out of carpet. Women who put this powerful chemical into the water for a stentoal may expect positive results—a thoroughly clean scalp, slightly parch little sore, and perhaps, a briet headache: crisped, dry, bleached hair and premature grayness.
