CAN BE P Sad Story of a Young Woman Told to Oticials, Early this morning Rosa Hammond, a young woman, called at police headquarters and complained toginspector Hollinberger that James Milton Fisher brought her here from Baltimore Saturday night or Sunday and remained at a house on Missouri avenue over night. They were, she said, engaged to be married, and that for that purpose she came here with him. Sunday night, she charges, she remained with him and then he deserted her, leaving her here without a cent in the world and also without friends. He had even refused to send her back to Baltimore, so she says, wad her story was such a sad one that In- spector Hollinberger had Detective Goard- min go with her to the district attorney's office, where she repeated her story.

ROBBERS SECURE SPOIL ‘A Package Containing $20,000 Stolen at lorado Springs. _ Compelied the Station Agent to Open the Safe—Hounds Put Upon ° . Their Track. COLORADO SPRINGS, Col., November 12—The Wells Fargo Express Company has given out the following official state- ment regarding the robbery at the Santa Fe depot about 10 o'clock last night. Twenty thousand dollars was sent from Denver to the First National Bank of Colo- rado Springs early in the afternoon. This money was in currency of small denomina- tions, and was received about 4 o’clock and too late to be delivered to the bank. The package containing the money was placed in the depot safe and both doors locked. There was nothing to indicate its value. Evidently the thieves knew of its exist- ence. When train No. 6 came in, about 9:45, there were other packages aboard with the currency, to the amount of $35,000, con- signed to the same bank. These packages were delivered to the agent and placed in thewafe with the other. After the train had departed the agent, George Krout, went to the platform to straighten the trucks which were stand- ing there. When Krout entered his ofiice after performing his duties outside two men, one tall, the other short, confronted him with revolvers pointed at his head and commamded him, to throy up his hands. Krout, badly frightened, obeyed. Then one of the rotbers, stepping >lose to the agent, 3aid: ‘Not a word from you. We want you to over that safe, and be quick about it. H-rry ip.” Krout denied th.* .here was any money in the safe. The revolver was pressed close to him and he was told to open the safe or suffer the consequences. With trembling hands he slowly turned the combination. When the door swung open Krout explained that there was only cre package there, and reaching in he picked up an envelope containing $20,000 which he handed to the short man. He then closed the heavy door. ‘The robbers seeming satisfied that the egent told the truth, stepped away from the safe. Krout’s action in handing out the $20,000 rackage and closing the doors of the safe saved the company $35,040. During all this time the thieves did not appear in the least excited. The robbers ordered Krout to undress himself and get into bed. After he ‘ad @one ‘so, one of the robbers took pains to see that the quilts and comforters were drawn tightly over Krout’s head and tuck- ed down. Then Krovt heard one of them say: ‘Now open tht door and see if there is any one about.”” Krout heard the. door slide back and bump, and then one of the robbers said: “Wait now, we have missed something. Let us take a good long look over the place and see.” When Krout plucked up courage to jump out of bed and got outside there was no one in sight. An alarm was given and by 11 o'clock posses were scouring the vicinity ef the depot on the eastern outskirts of the town, but no trace of the robbers was ound. Finally, two bloodhounds were put on the trail, and it was found the men had gone along Pike’s Peak avenue, through the heart of the city. On the theory that they would go to Cripple Creek, over the Chey- enne mountain road, a posse started from that city to head them off. The depot agent was not 100 yards away from Krout's office while the robbery was being committed, but he did not the rebbers and knew nothing about the matter until informed by Krout. ——— WEBSTER AT DINNER. His Head Was C! r, Even if His Body Was Afiecte From John Sherman's Recoliections. In New York I received from a relative a letter of introduction to Benj. R. Curtis, then an eminent lawyer, and latterly 2 more eminent justice of the Supreme Court When I presented my letter I was rec 4 very kindly, and after a brief conversation he said he was able to do me a favor; that he had a ticket to a grand banquet to be attended by the leading men of Boston at Plymouth Rock, on the anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim fathers, and that Daniel Wetster would preside. I heartily thanked him, and on the next day, prompt on time, I entered the train at Boston for Plymouth. When I arrived at the hotel, which fs also a station house of the railway, I did not know a single person in the great semblage. In due time we were usher into the dining hall, where the banque was spread. There was no mistaking Web- ster. He sat in the center of a cross table, with the British minister on his right and Jeremiah Mason on his left. ‘At the other end of the room sat Abbott Lawrence and other distinguished men. ‘The residue of the guests, merchants, poots and orators of Massachusetts, filled every seat at the tables. I sat some way down on the side and introduced myself to my neighbors cn the right and left, but my eye was on Webster, from whom I expect- ed such lofty eloquence as he alone could utter. Much to my surpri came for the oratory to commence, Mr. Lawrence acted as toest master. We had stories, songs, poetry and crators general- ly good and appropriate, but not from Web- ster. And so the evening waned. Webster when the time had been talking freely with those about him. Ale ted yed none of the loftin is name. He iIrink f-ee- nifest to every one. favorite bottle was one labeled “bra dy.” We heard of it as being “more than a hundred years old.” It did not travel down to us. Webster was plainly hilarious. At this time the conductor appeared at a side door and announced that in fifteen min- utes the cars would start for Boston. Then Webster arose—with difficulty—he rested bis hands firmly on the table and with an effort assumed an erect position. Every volce was hushed. He said that in fifteen minutes we would separate, never more to meet again, and then, with glowing force and eloquence, he contrasted the brevity and vanity of hu- man life with the immortality of the events they were celebrating, which century after century would be celebrated by your chil- dren and your children’s children to the latest generation. I carnot recall the words of his short but ‘eloquent speech, but it made an impress on my mind. If his body was affected by the liquor, his head was clear and his ut- terance perfect. I met Mr, Webster after- ward on the cars and in Washington. I ad- mired him for his great intellectual quali- ties, but I do not wonder that the people of the United States did not choose him for President. z S —_—___+e+____.- Berlin's Wood Pavements, From Hardwood. The authorities of Berlin have concluded after a period of investigations and tests covering a period of fifteen years or more, to maintain the wood pavement where there ere horse car lines, and have already paved with wood some 67,000 square meters, using for the purpose nearly three and one-half million blocks, or fifty-two blocks to the square meter. The tests comprise forty-two streets, ares and bridges, and of the wood used, 40 square meters were paved with Ger- man pine, 15,000 with Swedish pine, and out the same quantity with Weech, 10,000 with e, and a smaller r The wood proved su- wagon tr used for paving thorities is Landes. y the Parisian au- spruce from the department oT From the Chicago 1 New bread and the morning hot roll have been condemned as injurious and difficult of ion, However true this charge may he, the use of new bread appears, even from the hygiene point of view, to have some nsating advantages.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Returning miners and prospectors from Alaska tell differing stories of their hunt for gold. Some have been successful, some have failed. ‘There is one man, however, who came down on the lest trip of the steamer Topeka who thinks he has found such a fortune that he is almost afraid to talk about, for, as he says, “people could not believe it.” Hans Christian Pande, an old sea captain and a former resident of Tacoma, is the man who believes he has found a treasure. He, with seven others, has taken up 158 acres about eighteen miles from Sitka, and it is called “‘Pande’s basin placer claim.” With- in the limits of the claim is a lake 1,000 yards long, 400 yards wide and 150 feet deep. The lake is fed by water from a glacier above, and its outlet is only two feet deep, a litt! stream that hurries at Nghtning speed down the canon below. The action of the glacier, which has been going on fer centuries, prob- ably, has brought down from the mountains above large deposits of flour gold, and this has all, of necessity, been held within the boundaries of the little body of water. .The action of the glacier, the deepness of the lake and the shallowness of the outlet is the combination which, Mr. Pande thinks, has covered the bottom of the lake with mil- lions of dollars in flour gold. Assays of sand from the shores of the lak made by J. A. Becker, an assayer at Sit show that it will produce the almost unbe lievable result of $8 and $10 a cubic yard. ‘The statement that half a cent a cubic y: will allow a man to make $10,000 a year wili flustrate the size of Mr. Pande’s find. He ys that he cannot, of course, believe or hope that these assays will be borne out by future development, but if he can, get only a comparatively small part of that amount he will be satistied. What Mr. Pande i associates want to do is to tap the ro of the lake on the lower side, water can be almost entirely drained out. Then, Mr. Pande thinks, a field of four gold will lie before him. Mr. Pande’s golden Mecca is rea by the greatest hardship and danj and two companions, he claims, are th persons who have ever come bi the little lake. The outlet s only two feet deep, has s rent that when the discoverers wer ing it the ley waters swept up ev heads, and it was only by clinging w ous grip to a rope that had be: caught on the other side that they w: saved from destruction, It is impossi to reach the place in winter, and Mr. I: and his companions will not make attempt to visit their lake until a Oe IRON AND Foon.

Prof. Bunge, in the course of a pape on as a medicine, read before the G. cengress of internal medicine, has been Ulating some {deas which are as mych a matter of general science (and therefore tremely important) as they are details co: nected with the physician’s domain. He strong on the point that iron should reach our blood through the medium of our food, rather than through the druggist’s speci!— ties.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. There used to be a deal more variety in life in Leadville than there is now. In its earlier days every phase of human nature was represented here, and if there was any wickedness common to any other section of the globe of which this camp had no speci- men some public-spirited bad man would import a supply. It was a lively mining camp in all that the term implies, and never hid the light of its wickedness under a bushel. Nothing was hidden, neither the saloons nor the gambling houses nor the worse places. The man who wanted to he bad need seek but lightly for an opportunity. As for the divertissement of an impromptu duel to the death, that was so easily obtained as to quickly Ics¢ its charm. Everybody car- ried a “gun,” and, soon or late, éverybody used it with a fellow-being for a target. Now this is largely changed. Leadville ts not yet a prominent way station on the route to the better land, but is as peaceful as the average town of its size in or out of the mining reg: Men here are too busy to 5.0. attend to the affairs of their neighbors; there does not seem to be an undue amount of drinking, and business goes on about as it does elsewhere.

Second Stage of the Olmstead Will ~ OF SOUND MIND When the trial of the Olmstead will case was resumed this morning counsel for Mrs. Linda Hutehinson Webb, who is contest- ing the will ef her sister, Mrs. John F. Olmstead, called to the witness stand Stencgrapher W. Herbert Smith, who took part of the testimony at the previous trial. Mr. Smith was asked if Mr. Olmstead had not admitted at the first trial of the case that Mr. Wm. F. Mattingly, who drew his wife’s will, Was at ‘the time and previous thereto his attorney.’ Counsel for Mr. Olm- stead, however, admitted that fact. Mr. Olmstead’s counsel also admitted that Mr. Olmstead had stated on the first trial that his wife obtained from him her knowl- edge of the matters alleged in the suits filed against her mother and sister. But, adher- ing to his previous rulings, Judge Bradley refused to allow the nature of the charzes to be stated. { : Mrs, Webb's counsel were allowed to read to the jury certain parts of Mr. Olmstead’s testimony at the first trial, in which he stated that his wife first suggested to him the making of her will, and that at her re~ quest he had his attorney, Mr. Matting] consult with her and draw the will, Al that part of his testimony in which Mr. Olmstead stated that his wife did not ac- quaint him with the provisions of her will.

The Straight Tip in Advance Seems to Indicate That He is Not Dis- pleased at the Result. Was the election in New York city “thrown?” Did Mr. Platt ‘really desire to carry the town? Would success there have added anything to his program? Was any- thing to be made by letting Tammany win a small victory? There ara no specific charges offered, but there is some very interesting and persua- sive gossip current. The Straight Tip. The first thing noted is the straight tip that went out that Tammany would win. This found its way into the machine circles on both sides, and led to a sort of ma- chine prediction of what actually has since occurred. Things cn the surface were not thought to support this prediction. The goo goos hzd-been counted and found not to be numerous, while it-was known that the disaffection among the Germans on ac- count of the enforcement of the excise law was by no means general. The committee of fifty was organized and did some very etfective work. But still the politicians here and there, insisted that Tammany would Win. They had but_one reply to questions for particulars. “You'll see,” was all they could be induced to say. These men were right.

Mr. Hartman thinks that President Cleve- land had a great deal to do with the late general democratic defeat in several of the states. To a Star reporter today Mr. Hart- man said: “I think the election in Kentucky meang that Mr. Cleveland and his friends have simply attempted to carry out the policy which has characterized this administration —that Is, to rule or ruin. Mr. Cleveland has attempted to force his financial views down the throats of the people of Ken- tucky, and having failed to do so in one way, he concluded to defeat the democratic party there. Of course, this redounds to theglory of the republican party, but it is not greatly to the credit of the democratic administration. The Maryland Election. “So far as the Maryland election was concerned, I presume no one will for a mo- ment suggest that the administration took any other course than to oppose the demo- cratic nominees for the express purpose of punishing Mr. Gorman. This was another case where the water fell on the republican wheel, and we can have no special cause to complain. However, when one remem- bers that Mr. Cleveland owes his political existence to Mr. Gorman, I do not think we can feel very proud of republican suc- cess, which was obtained at the cost of, political treachery of that character. “The general results of the elections throughout the country at large seems ta me to indicate a repudiation on the part of the people of the most unfortunate and dis- astrous administration in the history of our government.” “Do you think that the cause of s!Iver been retarded by the result of these elec. tions?” the reporter asked. “I cannot see that the financial question has been affected,one way or the ether by the elections. 1 give no credit whatever to the talk that the trend of public opinion is now away from silver. Disastrous Foreign Policy. “Speaking of the causes for the demo- cratic defeat in the elections last week, it seems to me that the foreign policy of the sovernment was involved as much as any oiher element in that defeat. In fact, if that were the only issue it would have been ient to justify the overwhelming vote condemnation that was registered last Beginning with the affairs in ii and ending with the present atti- tude of the administration with reference to Venezuela, the whole history of this for- “gn policy has been one to bring a blush of shame to the cheek of any American citi- It is highly probable that a great any ballots cast against the democratic rity indicated that the action of the ad- (ration in its famous bond issue was I presume that of the financial transactions government there has never been deal so utterly indefensible as the de- le on the part of this administra- {400,000 of thirty-yeat-bonds at when they were 118 “We are still looking to Mr. Cameron of Pennsylveria as a desirable presidential candidate for the silver cavse,” concluded Mr. Hartman. as —— WHERE HE DREW THE LINE. The W a Man Tells of His Ex- perience With 2 Conservative Farmer From Harper's Magu: The man who sold windmills adjusted his chair at a new angle, crossed his feet on the railing of the balcony, locked his hands over the top of his head and began: “Curious fellows, those Wayback farmers ar drull chaps to deal with, too; cute and sharp at a bargain. Most of them know a gcod thing when they see it, so I took a good many orders; but once in’a while I. come across a conservative old hayseed whose eyes are closed to anything modern. One of that sort helped me to a good laugh the other day, and I might as well pass it on. “He was a genial, white-headed old fellow, who owned several fine farms, with prime orchards and meadows, barns. and fences in apple-pie order and dwellings serene in com- fort. “He listened closely while I expatiated on lence of our make of machines; ga fresh supply of cavindish, he ed himself in his chair, with his hands pockets, and held forth in this fash- ine. 1, stranger,’ he said, ‘your machine all right, but look here.

Improved Outlook in the Foreign. _ Exchanges COMMERCIAL BILLS IN FAIR SUPPLY London Again Comes in as a Buyer. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to ‘The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 12. — Foreign cables containing further assurances of an improved outlook in both financial and po- litical circles were instrumental in revo- lutionizing local speculative sentiment this morning.®The volume of business was al- most exclusively professional, however, and the advance is not likely to continue further without attracting sales for both accounts. The situation for the immediate future is more favorable to purchases on concessions than to sales on recoveries, the condition of the country, as yet under- valued, being reasonably sure to disappoint pessimistic ventures. The tone of the market for foreign ex: change was somewhat more hopeful, 4 moderate supply of commercial drawings, principally against exports of cotton, en- couraging the belief that bankers may yel be able to dispense with the necess'ty for exporting gold at the end of the week. The absence of gold bills is also an encouraging feature of the situation. London bought back some of the stocks sold during the period of apprehension pre valling at the close of last week, and pri- vate advices from that center received after the opening of our *market indicated « stronger tone for all of the more prominent American issues. ‘Phe deruand for international securities te cover short contracts was consequently a feature of the board room operationa around the noon hour. St. Paul and Nash- ille were in good demand at advances of 1 and 1% per cent, respectively. Burlington and Missouri Pacific were liberally traded in, the former being advanced under the influence of flattering estimates of earnings and the covering of short stock. Today's improvement, while due in a great measure to the covering of stock sold at higher prices, 4s none the less an indication of the prevailing unwillingness to stand long on a position the strength of which is large- ly due to the inactivity of the element most favored by actual conditions. Rumors of the resumption of negotiations letween Pacific Mail and the Panama rail- road had a beneficial influence on the stock of the latter company. The prospects are said to be favorable to a successful termina- tion of the scheme under consideration. The raid cn Chicago Gas, which attracted attention yesterday by reason of its unex- plained motive, was completely abandoned lcday, and an effort made to provide for the delivery of yesterday's sales. An advance oi 21-4 per cent resulted from the urgency of the demand, room operators contributing to the upward movement by moderate pur- chases for quick profits in the long account. Sugar was marked up to par on a fair volume of business, but the stock was lib- erally supplied in the neighborhood of that guotation by operators usually accurate in their deductions on the questions of policy as applied to this property. The final trading was irregular, but in many instances, notably the Grangers, the best prices of the day prevailed. ——__ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest aad the closing prices ef the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New Ycrk stock exchange.
