The Crimes of & Massachusetts Gang of Robbers. Bostox, Oct. 17.~[Special Telegram to the Ber.)—1t may not be possible to fasten upon Stain and his gang the murder of Cash- fer Barron of the Dexter bank, but there is already enough known about them to send them probably to prison for life, if not to the gallows. It is charged that at least six mur- ders and us many big robberies committed during the last fourteen years can be traced to these men, About fourteen years ago & furmer named Messenger, in Norfolk, Mass,, was found murdered in his honse and about #1,800 in money was missing. Stain's gang was living about twelve miles from Messen- ger's house. Young Stain, who has con- fessed to Sheriff Mitchell his share in a good many crimes, says that one morning he, his father and Cromwell went to Norfolk, where old man Messenger was known to have come into posscssion of a large sum of money. They arrived at Novfolk late in the evening, Young Stain drove the Lorses and remained with them while the other went on foot to the house of Messenger, They returned not long after bringing a small bag which con- tained the moncy. They divided the booty in the wagon. T'hey said they did not get as mueh as they expected, but Stain's share was about &00. Young Stain says his father told him they did not kill Messenger but that he would probably die, Young Stain_says that a farmer named Steele, of Madfield, was picked out by the gung us a good subject to work upon. “They determined to secure Steele’s farm, which ad- joined the one owned by Stain. ' Cromwell and young Stain went to_Steele's place one day, tuking with them a bottle of whisky, in which had been put a heavy dose of arseni When they reached Steele's house they en- gaged the old man in & conversation and of- fered him a drink of the poisoned whisky, which he took and dicd soon after. It was a part of the scheme that young Stain should marry Stecle's daughter, live with her a lit- tle while and then kill' her and secure the farm. But the young man refused to carry out his part of the plot and so it fell through. Another murder was committed in & similar manner. A man named Hammond owned a farm adjoining Stain’s, which the latter coveted. ~ Stain determined to murder him, The gang went to his place with poisoned whisky and found the farmer in his barn handling an ugly bull. The animal penned Hammond to the barn but did not injure him, The poisoned whisky was administered and Hammond died. The gang made it appear that the bull inflicted injuries that caused the farmer's death. Stain failed, however, to et possession of ti : THE KOUTS DISASTER. Railrond Officials Vainly Shielding Thelr Criminality- Hamyoxn, Ind,, Oct. 17.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.]—Adlitional facts about the Chicago & Atlantic railrond disaster at Kouts are constantly cropping out here, de- spite the attempts of the railroad company to suppress everything and shut the mouths of the people. The passengers of the ill-fated train 8ay the accident could have been averted if the flagman had not been asleep in the rear conch when the train stopped for water. He got up when he heard the freight train pounding down behind, and went out to stop it. He had got about fifteen rods when the fireman of the freight jumped on him.

Henry Young, twenty years old, a sonof arich farmer living twelve miles north of St. Joe, was found early this morning by the farm hands hanging by a stout, rope in his father's barn. Life had been extinctsome time and the fatal leap had probably been taken early the night before. In one of the pockets was found a letter stating that life had beena bur- den to him since a certain young lady in the vicinity had been married. ‘It _scems that he had been in love with her and had_paid her considerable attention up to the fime she was married and even stood up at the wed- ng. The young lady is almost overcome with grief and says she had no idea the young man cared anything for ber. He had never declared his love, but had represented himself to her always as o friend and noth- ing_more. It is said that Young was in reality the lady's choice fora husband and that she had tried earnestly to convince her- self that he would some time love her, mar- rying her present husband, who idolizes her, in a mad effort to show that she cared noth- ing for Young. The affair has created great excitement, both families being well known and both the young people very popular. Steamship Arrivals.

Stoux Ciry, Ia, Oct. 17.—]Special Tele- gram to the Bee.)—For the past year the farmers of Liberty township and neighbor- localities have been losing harness, grain, potatoes, small implements, ete.

These gentlemen came to the city Saturday and informed Sheriff Mc- Dondald of what had happened. They told of the suspicion of the Lamberson boys.

Loxa Pixg, Neb., Oct. 17.—[Correspond- ence of the Brk]—Brown county is in a turmoil again over the divid- ing of the county. This question has been submitted to the voters flve times now, and been defeated every time, but it has this effect in this unquestionably republican county every fall, and that is thatthe political hues are so varied that it has become cham- eleonized so that the best posted politician cannot prophesy what the result will be. Judge M. P. Kinkaid was nominated by the republicans for judge of the Twelfth judicial district by acclamution, and as thero is no democratic nominee, the judge will receive all the votos of all parties, He is deserving of this tribute.

Maggie Mitchell’s characters in the early scenes of all her plays have a pre- dilection for short dresses and high- crowned rustic head gear. They arve generally persecuted lasses who are loved by others above their station. In each and all of these, Maggie Mitchell is Mug%le Mitchell, one portraiture dif- fering from the other only in the rich- ness and color of the provincial attirve. In the latter scenes, however, when the fortunes of the heroine require raiment more in harmony with metropolitan tastes, there is greater variety }n the delineation. The mannerisms of the lady wh are so well known and so crowded into her juvenile sketches and, frequently, with ~ painful repetition, are less noticeable. As a consequence, her work while less sug- gestive of laughter is move frequently worthy of appreciation. An exception in this, however, isfqund the scene in Larle where the heroine is supposed to have lost her minds The effective por- trayal of such a calumity is beyond Miss MitchLell’s powers. 'The same may be said of her embafrassment in the presence of the Coyutess. It was not the work of an actress imitating nature, but the unbridled licanse of u star en- deavoring to create'a laugh. Besides, the auditor is scareely prepared for such rusticity in o little one who, all along, . has displayed the mannersof alpdy equal to those upon whom she calls with her husband. 1‘?:‘6 orchestra is a valuable assistant to Miss Mitchell’s singing, butat times, last night, it failed tp prevent her flat- ting upon notes which it was painful to hear. Miss Mitchell gannot laugh. Her attempt at this pleasant feature of hearty work is a stuccato chuckle, or & squeak, which grates upon the ear. )vl}ug;:iu Mitchell has been before the public for years. She is neither as young as she used to be, nor is she pos- sessed of the gifts which once secured her fame.

The case against Ben Huff for gamb- ling was dismissed yesterday by County Attorney Simeral for lack of convicting testimony, all the evidence being purely circumstantial. Buck Copeland did not fare so well, there being positive testi- money against him by Captain Green. Copeland was held on two different counts, and was put under #800 bonds for each, to appear hefore the district court. The money, amounting to about $100, that was captu in the raid, was turned over to Attorney Godwin, who is the counsel for the gamblers. He claims that the money belongs toa party living at North Platte, and that he has an order from that person to take the money nnd give a receipt for it. It is evidently the intention of the gamblers to make it appear that this party at North Platte owns the gambling out- fit and has hired Copelan Hutl « other professionals to run it him, . This - party was preseut the time of the d, but was reloased the next day, it being supposed. that he wis merely a visitor, ANOTHER MORPHINMSDEATH. A Stranger Succumbs to an Overdose of the Drug. A man supposed tobea printer, known both by the name of A. H. Haight and Berry, died last evening at the Omaha lodging house, on Jackson street, be- tween Ninth and Tenth strects, from an overdose of morphine. Haight, in com- pany with a comrade named Lorenzo Faint, a painter, had engaged lodgings for all day, and after spending the fore- noon indrinking and carousing, they lay down to sleep. About 3 o'cl Haight complained of sleeplessness and sent out for a dime's worth of morphine. Faint put the sedative in a dipperof water, Haight took a small drink of it, and both lay down again. Faint says he dropped to sleep shortly afterward, and did not wake up until he was aroused by the landlord about four hours later. He attempted to awaken his companion, but to his horror he discovered that Haight was dead. An examination of the dipper in which the morphine had been disolved ex- plained the mystery. It was nearly empty, and it is supposed that Haight either found the first dose insufficient and had drank the rest of the medicine to insure sleep, or had awakened fever- ish and dry, and secing the water had swallowed it, forgetting about the drug. Dr. Edmiston was summoned, but found that life had been extinet for over an hour, and the body was removed to the morgue and laid beside the remains of Charles Gratop, who died from an over- dose of morphine Sunday night. An inquest will be held this morning. Haight had claimed to be a printer at the BEE oftice, but none of the com- positors know anything about him. Al- though his hearing and howers of speech were unimpaived, he carried cards in his pocket upon which was printed the assertion that the bearer, A. H. Haight, was a deaf mute. On his person was found $170. All that could be learned about the unfortunate man was that he had been in Omaha two weeks, all that time being more or less under the influence of liquor. He was evidently about thirty-five yearsof age, rather short, has a pale complexion, brown bair and a heavy mustache. WAS SHE KIDNAPPED? Mysterious Disappearance of a Thir- teen Year Old Girl. Stella Fairchild, a beautiful girl of thirteen, disappeared from the high school building last Friday morning in a most mysterious manner and it is be- licved thut she has been kidnapped. Her father, D. B. Fairchild, is a travel- ing man for a Kansas City wholesale house, and a widowe He entrusted the charge of his little girl to Mrs. John W. Russell, of 2583 Davenport street, this city,where she was loved and cared for as a daughter. Oun Friday morning of last week she went to school as usual, but as she was going up the stairs she was overtaken by another little girl who told her that a lady was below who wished to see her. A few minutes later Tom Falckner, the janitor of the building, saw Stella with the strange lady. The girl was crying and the woman had her arm about her, A moment later the two walked out of the building, and that is the last that has been seen of either of them. Since then the most strenuous efforts have been, made to discover the whereabouts of the missing girl. The police have been quictly searching the city, and de1 tectives have been stationed at the various depots to thwart any attempt to get the child away on the cavs. It is feared that she has been kidnapped by some procuress for an evil purpose. At the time of her disap- pearance Stella had on a ark brown dress, with velvet trim- mings of the same color. She is a beautiful blonde. with golden hair and Dblue eyes. Her kidnapper is described as a medium gized woman, rathe ast the meridian of life. Mr. Fairchild has telegraphed that he will be here this morning to do all in his power to ferret out the mystery. Mrs. Russell, with whom the girl has been living, is a sister to H. H. Palmer, oditor of the Kansas City Implement Journal. She is greatly as agonized over the mysterious disappearance of the girl as though she were her own daughter. REV. MR. SCOTT REMAINS. The Inducements of Boston Cannot Draw Him Thither from Omaha. Rev. Willard Scott, of the St. Mary’s avenue Congregational church, Sun- day announced to his congregation that he had formally notified the members of the Congregational church in Boston, who had called Lim to act as their pastor, that hé had decided to decline the same and remain in Omaha, The announcement was received with the heartiest feelings of gratification by the Omaha society. Yesterday, however, Mr. Scott recelved a telegram from the Boston people announcing that if he declined the call, another would be forwarded to him. This morning another telegram was received from the same place requesting him to withhold his declination till next Wednesday. But, as may be inferred from the above, the request was too late. Mr. Scott has concluded to remain in Omaha, mainly because of the excellent work his church has done since it was organized,though at a personal dis- advantage to himself. His church was first placed in his hands when it was drawing a missionary contribution of between eight hundred and nine hun- dred dollars a year, It has now 260 members, every one of whom he has re- ceived into the society, and who afford him a salary of $3,000 per year. And yet, it is in a formative state, and this act leads Mr. Scott to beliove that he may do more good here than he could do in the east. Dr. Foy to Leave Omaha., Some time ago Dr. Joseph Foy, of the First Christiau church of this city, re- ceived a call to Norfolk, Va. The ques- tion of the acceptance of this call has been under carcful consideration by the doctor, and he has finally decided to accept the same at the close of his pas- toral term in this city. The anuounce ment of their pastor’s decision was received with the deepest regret by the members of the First Chris hurch, Under the zealous labors of Dr. Foy the church has inel d in numbers, and is to-day in a prosperous condition, Not the possessor of a strong constitution, Dr. Foy has for the past six months been in delicate health and his earncst efforts and success have been thoroughly appreciated by his congregation. To his new home he will bear with him the best wishes of a devoted flock and a host of friends outside the church who have boen drawn to him during his stay in Omaha, Asa pastor and a pulpit ora- tor he is regarded in more than one favorable light, and in his departure the religious and social cireles of Omaha will lse an exemplary member, Kd tenne op -l wid Clayton, manager of the Cr NIPPED N THE: BUD.
