NEWS BY WIRE|AWEO SY OUTLAWS|CHARGES DISMISSED —— A Sensation Before the Lexow Com- mittee. ee eae ete, SPIRITING AWAY A WITNESS pee sia: SEE Mr. Goffs Charges Against the New York Police. Sra THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE aii NEW YORK, October 24.—Counsel Goff tartled the Lexow committee when they re- convened this morning by saying the police had made away with a witness who would give the most sensational testimony yet pro- duced. Mr. Goff entered the court room and said, excliediy: “For the first time I am compelled to ask for an adjournment until 2 o'clock. I told the committee that our star witness—a woman who had paid money to high offi- clals-had been stolen from us at the dead of night. We had her under subpoena and under survelliance in the day time, but at midnight the police or their agents came in a carriage and stole the woman. I now tell you hér name for the first time—Matilda Hermann. The police or their agents hurried her to Canada and then to the large cities of the west. Our detectives stuck to the trail and finally ran her down in Chicago. She consented to come east. “in company with our detectives she has been journeying eastward all yesterday. When the party arrived in Jersey City this morning an outrage was committed. The Police of New York got the police of Jersey City to arrest all our party on a charge of kidnaping—a trumped up charge designed to detain her. The police of Jersey City en went so far as to try to get the wo- man to leave our detectives.” Chairman Lexow broke in with: “Is she ver twenty-one years of age?” “Yes; and, moreover, willing to come aswered Mr. Goff. “This woman will tell how the police raised a fund to get her and other women of her class out of the city. There is a col- ony of them now in Chicago, waiting for the committee to adjourn." “We may never adjourn, man Lexow. * Mr. Goff said that he hoped to prove how much money had been contributed in furtherance of the alleged police conspiracy to spirit away Mrs. Hermann. Mes. Hermann’s Testimony. ‘This evening's Post has the following: “Mrs. Hermann was desired by Mr. Goff to give testimony against the police of the fitteenth precinct of this city, to whom it is alleged she has paid large sums of money to be allowed to operate four alleged dis- orderly houses, Some months ago she was served with subpoenas to appear before the committee. Her sudden disappearance resulted in Mr. Goff’s suspecting that some of the subpoena servers were in collusion with policemen under suspicion. Private Detective Wells was engaged to look her u He found her at the Collonade Hotel, Chicago, and endeavored to induce her to return and testify before the committee. She refused. Wells communicated with Sergeant-at-Arms Thomas Kearney of the Lexow committee anda bogus telegram was sent to her with the information that her hustand had broken his leg and was lying in a hospital in Hoboken in a critical con- dition. Mrs. # broke in Chair- rmana lost time in coming to nd’s assistance. She arrived in the Pernsylvania railroad station at 7:30 o'clock this morning. Detective Wells was shadowing her. Near the stair Jeading to Montgomery street Sergeant-at-Arms Kearney intercepted the woman. He asked her to consent to go with him to New York subsequently Detective Wells joined conversation woman beeame highly indignant and was gestulating wildly when Senator William D. Daly of New Jersey approached her and told her he had been retained as her counsel. Kearney and Wells wanted ts compel the woman to go to New York, but Senator Waly remonstrated and de- clared he would not permit-her to be ‘kid- naped.’ A crowd collected; Mrs. Hermann shout- ed that Mr. Goff hai telegraphed her, threatening to cause her indictment if she did not return to New York, ard that she bad been Inveigled to come east by her ene- m.es. Such confusion was caused in the station that Policeman Boyle finally ar- resud Sergeant-at-arms Kearney, Detective Wells and Mrs. Hermann, charging them with disorderly conduct, and took his pris- oners tc police headquarters in Jersey City. “How Senator Daly learned that Mrs. Hermann had left Chicago is puzzling the Lexow committee detectives, and there is a svrpicion that the New York police and cer- tain attaches of the Lexow committee are in collusion with the Jersey City police to head off damaging witnesses. oo THE CZAR AG WORSE. A Serious Change in the Condition of Russia's Ruler. ST. PETERSBURG, October 24.—Dis- patches received here this morning from Livadia say that the condition of the czar has again changed for the worse. An imperial decree was published today declaring Grand Duke Michael, the third son of the czar, the heir to the throne in succession to his brother, Grand Duke Nicholas, the czarewitch and present heir apparent, The Grand Duke George, the second son, has renounced his rights of accession in view of the fact that his con- dition is considered hopeless. The following official bulletin was issued at 10 o'clock this morning: “The czar slept for a few hours last night. is ulletin is signed by the five physi- cians in attendance upon the czar, Prof. Leyden, Scharin, Popehoff, Beljaminoff and Hirsch. PARIS, October 24.—A dispatch received here from Livadia by a government ofticial says that the death of the czar is expected in a few hours. There is growing anxiety in French gov- ernment circles. ‘The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Gaulois telegraphs that he has the au- thority of 1 member of the czar’s suite for Stating that the reported shrinking of the sufferer’s kidneys is not so serious as re- ported and that his majesty’s physicians have every reason to hope for a permanent improvement of the patient's condition. A dispatch to the Figaro from Odessa, dated 11:30 p.m. yesterday, said that the czars end was imminent. Drowsiness had already set in. BERLIN, October 24.—The Neuste Nach- richten’s correspondent at St. Petersburg telegraphs that a prominent Russian court official has received the following dispatch from Livadia: “it not expected that the death of the czar will occur within the next forty-eight hours, and {t {s probable that his majesty’s life will be prolonged f-> a much longer time.” PARIS, October 24.—La Verite publishes a positive statement, said to be on the au- thority of M. Roussel, to the effect that a secret agreement exists between France and Russta as to the terms upon which the two countries are to take joint action in view of possible contingencies. This agree- ment is said to have been signed before the fetes at Cronstadt which followed the visit of Admiral Gervais and the French squadron to that port. WERE MARRIED TODAY.

The Infamous Cook Gang is Stronger Than the Law. Secretary Smith Asks for the Assist- ance of Troops to Quel the Bandits. The Indian office has received another telegram from Agent Wisdom at Muscogce, I. T., relating to the troubles experienced from lawless men in that section, He says: “The Cook gang of outlaws in force is camped at Gibson statin, eight miles from here on thé’ Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway. It is believed that another holdup is contemplated. My police force, such as I can get together, is not equal to the emergency, and Marsbal Crump, at Fort Smith, Ark., writes that he has not money to keep marshals in the field for a cam- paign. Affairs here are in a desperate con- dition, commerce impeded, business sus- pended, and the people generally intimi- dated, and privaie individuals robved every day and night. I renew my recommenda- tion and earnestly insist that the govern- ment, through the proper channel, take the matter in hand and protect its courts and citizens of the United States who are law- fully resident in the territory. Licensed traders are especially suffering and they are here under treaty stipulations. This state of suspense must be broken up and prompt action is urged to save life and property.” Energetic Efforts Proposed. This telegram was referred to Secretary Smith, who called the attention of the Secretary of War to his request of yester- day that troops be sent to Indian territory, and suggested the urgency of early action as desired by the government. It bas been determined by the Interior Department officials to break *up the lawlessness in indian territory, if the active assistance of the War Department is secured. Attorney General Olney hus sent tele- grams to the Untted States attorney and the United States marshal at Fort Smita to do everything legitimately within their power to prevent the interruption of inter- state commerce and the detention of the United States mails. If these efforts fail, it is assumed that the military will be called into requisition. —__$_++@< = RACING AT ST. ASAPH'S. No Idea of Dividing Patronage With * the Isinnd Track.

All the railroads centering in Elmira are now doing an in- creased business over last year, and com- merce is improving along all other lines. We are going to win beyond any question. There are certain elements at work in the campaign which will surprise the most con- servative, all of which are working in our favor.

The specific charge to- day was against Mr. McDevitt, though Dr. Glennan, Dr. Taylor and young Mr. Mc- Devitt were all named in the warrant. The case came before Judge Miller on a prelim- inary hearing, and after about two hours and a half of very interesting testimony the court held that a case for the grand jury had not been made out, and dismissed the complaints. ‘There were five lawyers in the bar—Messrs. Mullowney and Fulton for the prosecution, Messrs, Ralston and Siddons for Dr. Glen- nan and Mr. J. J. Johnson for the Mc- Devitts. There was quite an argument at the start as to the exact charge, and it was finally decided that the case should be con- sidered as one of forcible entry. Tew ony for the Prosecution, Oliver Emory, living at 810 12th street, gave testimony of the proceedings in the house on the night the children were taken, but could not identify any of the party of men who took the little ones. P. H. Tow- son, also living there, gave details of the ro’ but could recognize no one. It was sworn to by both witnesses that Mrs. Glen- nan’s door was broken open. Richard Scheyer, who lives next door to 810 12th street, said that he heard the noises and ran down stairs to the street. He recognized young Taylor and McDevitt. _ Mr. Silling’s Story. The rext witness was Albert L. Silling, whe named by Dr. Glennan as the co- respondent in the divorce suit that has been filed. His testimony v very damaging in gscneral, though it threw littie li on the case before the court. Indeed, the of forcibie entry seomei to be very much of a cloak under which certain facts concerning the relations between Silling and Mrs. Glennan were brought out. Silling told of: the disturbance on the night of the Ist, and said that his coor was broken open. He was sleeping with the young The cross-examiners were not concerned about the matter of the forejble entry. The attorneys for Dr. Glennan were more in- terested in the relations between Silling and Mrs. Glennan, and so they began to work on their joint history. Silling said that he first met Mrs. nnan in Edin- burgh, Va., on the Mth of July last. He said he is a married man and a traveling salesman for the Brown Shoe Company of St. Louts. He saw his wife four weeks ag He was in Edinburgh only four hou after «iirst meeting Mrs. Glennan, but re- turned on the foliowing Thursday, and re- mained there until Saturday, when he went again, returning the following Satur- and staying over Monday. He never been there since. He next met Mrs. Glennan some weeks afterward at Harpe Ferry. They stopped at the same house. A Hotel Rewister. At this point Lawyer Ralston sprung a sensation by producing the register of the White Cottage, at Harper's Ferry, bearing this entry on a certain date: “S. R. Glen- ning and family.” He showed this book to Mr. Silling, and asked if that entry were not in his handwriting. The witness ac- knowledged that it was in his handwriting. Silling said that he went to Charlestown from Harper's Ferfy, and that Mrs. Glen- nan went with him. They then returned to Harper's Ferry, and thence to this city. They came back together. Whey reached here they on Grant place, where they had some friends, but stayed only a few hours, and he went out of town. He afterward ‘stop- pel at the National Hotel, but Mrs, Glen- nan was not with him then. When he came back to Washington, just before the first of the month, he was met at the station by Mrs. Glennan, who showed him to her boarding place, S10 12th street. He denied that on the night of the dis- turbance he had tried te conceal himself un- der the bedclothes. _ Mr. Ralston explaired to the court that he was trying to show that the children were in the house on 12th street under cor- rupting Influences, and that the father had tried to rescue them. Judge Miller said that if this could be proven he would not hold the case for the grand jury. Mr. Ralston asked many questions bear- ing on his relations with Mrs. Glennan, and also his relations with other women. Another Woman Named. The cross-examination closed with a breeze. ae “Do you know a woman ramed Nellie Herman?" asked Mr. Ralston, “I know of a woman who is said to be named Nellie Herman, but who is also known as Nelile Ray,” was the answer. “Did she not come near causing a di- voree between you and yeur wife?’ Mr, Ralston asked. Another Boarder Testifies. W. M. Toler, an occupant of the 12th stre+t house, was the next witness, and told in a dramatic fashion the events of the night when the children were abducted. He heard a great disturbance and reached for bis shotgun, but put it down when there came sounds to indicate that it was a fam- ily row. He heard Mrs. Glennan plead with some one not to take her children. At last she exclaimed: “You are my husbend, and when I was young I loved you.” “Where was Silling all this time?” asked the court. “I don't know,” was the reply. There were no new facts developed by the exami- nation of this witness, An Unsatisfactory Witness. Mr. McGowan, the joint manager. with his wife of the 12th street boarding house, proved a very unsatisfactory witness. He told a disconnected story of the trouble on the night the children were taken, and could give no definite information concern- ing the breaking of doors or destruction of property. He said the house was leased by his wife in his name. When asked by Judge Miller who paid the rent for the Glennan-Silling rooms, the witness said that there had been no rent up to the time of the disturb- ance. The parties, he said, took their meais outside. He was closely questioned about the affair of the night of October 1, but could give no positive testimony. Judge Miller said that so far there had been no identification to fasten the charge on the defendant. Shortly after Mr. Mc- Gowan said that he thought he recognized Mr. McDevitt on the stairs during the trou- ble in disguise. Mr. Johnson asked if it was Mr. McDevitt, the elder, who there- upon stood up. Mr. McGowan falteref§ and said he was not sure. He was also uncertain about the nature of the breaks made in the house. Mrs. Glennan on the Stand. After other witnesses had been heard Mrs, Glennan took the stand as the last witness for the prosecution. She was dressed in black and was very pale. She gave her testimony in a nervous, excitable way, and created amusement by some of her replies. She controlled her pg erage ge 7 ght the hall, and Came tremendous crash. Four people mi rushed into her room, ‘one of them “a little ne “alized at once,” ald ics. Giennan, “what the trouble was, for I appre- bended such an attempt, My first therefore, was for my child. Then highwayman rushed forward and grasped | ii and the best thing she could point out young Taylor as “the little boy,” to the great amusement of the crowd. She sald that her husband did not «lo anything rough, but was rather conciliatory all through. Her Boy Was With Her. “Was there any one with you m that rcom?” asked Judge Miller. “Yes; my boy Arthur. was in the other room. rooms.” Judge Miller hed a hard time trying to get Mrs. Glennan to explain about her rent and the arrangement of her rooms. She misunderstood his questions and got badly tangled up. At last the matter was straightened out. Mrs. Gleanan ren off the track some to tell of her appreher sions that Dr. G Zoing to try to get possession rea. She Had Warned the Children. She sald that she had gone a day or two before the Ist to the school where the children were being educated, and had toid Arthur she had seen his father on the street the day befcre, with lis agent, and warned the child not te Jet bis father get hold of him. After the witness had stepped aside Mr. Mullowney anounced the case closed for the prosecution. Then followed a long argu- ment between bim and Judge Miller as to the authorities, and the common-sense as- pects of the common law. Mr. Muilowney argued that Dr. had a legal and a proper would have secured for him ue possession of the children. No Case Made Ont. Judge Miller said ihat he did not be- lieve the law contemplated keeping a man out of his own property through the tech- nicality of the law in regard to house- breaking and forcibie eniry. If his horse or his pocket book had been in that house and he had desired it he could have recoy- ered it,and the owner of the property might have a civil suit for the actual damages in- flicted. A man in such a case would be re- sponsible simply for the amount of dain- age he causes in order to recover his prop- erty. In this instance the chiidren unques- tionably belonged to Dr. Glennan, as there had been nv stipulation in regard to them in the contract of 1S8¥, and he had become convinced that they were under evil influ- ences. So he brushed aside the musty usages of three hundred years ago, as he expressed 1, and applied the law to sult the conditions of today. He therefore dis- missed the against McDevitt and the other cases will also be quashed. There has been tiled, it was announced in court, a civil case against Dr. Glennan for the damage done on the night of the Ist of October to the property on 12th street.

The teams and many of the “rooters” will go down on the morn- ing boat, and expect to be busy from noon until darkness prevents any more shooting. Those of the visitors who do not gare to stay at Marshall Flali all day Mg, in com- pany with a number of Distri®t National Guard officers, proceed to Marshall Hall at 4:39 p. m., the steamer Macalester having been chartered for a special trip. It is rather unfortunate that communica- tion with Marshall Hall is so difficult. A number of people who would like to wit- ness the competition will be prevented from doing so by the fact that the last boat for this city leaves Marshall Hall before the match will be fairly under way. Return to the city on the special boat will only be possible for members of the teams and those who are in possesion of the official in- vitation. On the return trip a collation will be served, and it Is expected that there will be present all the elements needed to make the occasion a thoroughly enjoyable one. —__ MR. WILSON UP EARLY.

Mr. Cowen made a happy speech that ap- pealed to the crowd, and was followed by Mr. Cockran, whose five-minute talk con- sisted of a few simple tariff illustrations, addressed to wage-earners.

NEW YORK, October 24 Speculative activity this morning cer tered in a group Securitics not receruy titted with monotcnous campa'zn of the professional elemert. In this very alone did today's market differ from tts immediate prede sors. There were frequent ietervals of com plete idleness, and no assurances that the necessary incentive to legitimate trading Sas pear at ha Tennesree Coal and ron Was the foature of the early trading, Geclining 1 per cent on the liquida ay shares of stock. Traders assisted the decline by short selling, and some stop orders were un red near bottom figures: Buying orders were soon in the market and the recovery of the entire joss, to- gether with a small net profit, was reflect- ed in the prices prevalling during the noon hour. The passing of the dividend by the United States Express Company was urged as the cause for the early break in price, because of a supposed community of interest. The narrowness of the market and the unex- pected liquidation above mentioned were the real depressing influences. The com- pany fully earned its last dividend, and as- surances are not wanting that a similar @is- bursement will be made on the recurrence of the dividend date. The predicted ac- tivity In all southern industries is sure to be profitably participated in by this com- pany. ay list was dull and no import- were recorded.

Sugar sold up on early trading on cov- ering and some purchases for long account in accordance with ree-nt hints from the inside that moderate profite were reason- ably sure on that side. The conditions of the trade have not improved. and therefore do not warrant an advance. The stock sold at higher prices has not been bought back by insiders, and is likely to be at t present level, A rise to force out the shorts and add momentum to the next decline is @ probable but hardly safe risk Chicago Gas gained 1-2 point on a small volume of business and the lower gains. The market for sterling and tinental exchang? opened firm on a limited amount of business. There is no important change in the situation beyond tne fact that sterling rates have advanced at Ber- lin, which makes gold shipments less lkely than indicated by yesterday's conditions. The suppiy of commercial bills conunues good, but there ts no falling off In the de- mand. There ts no significant arbitrage business and a fair demand from bankers is reported, due to settlements under credits. The trading during closing hour was us dall and unimportant as that of the morning. Railw shares were entirely neglected, and there was no ambition to force acticity. Final figures were irregular thin narrow limits. _—. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
