SAVED FROM AN AWFUL FATE. Btory of the Timely Resoue of Two Young Lad CONFINED IN A CHICAGO DEN OF INFAMY, rented Like Beasts While 1 inan Attic Without a Ray of Light—Horrible Plot xposed. wprisoned Ciicaco Brreav o Tine Bee, | Citieaco, Aug, 12, A terrible story was brought to light in the Armory police court this morning. Last night Mary Mailey, a young woman of i spectable appearance, called at the Harrison stroet, police station and asked for aid in res- cuing her cousin from Suse White's nouse at120 Fourth avenue. Her cousin, Mary Rimpler, had, she said, written for help. Miss Rimpler came to Chi recently from Cincinnati. She met on the tran a young woman who offered her employment and good wages, The traveler accepted the proferred assistance and went to 120 Fourth avenue, to find to her horror that it was a house of ill ropute, dom, sho says, but o demanded her fre her clothes were taken away from hor, She was thrust into an apartment and nailed in, iron bars being placed across the door. For twp weeks Miss Rimpler resisted the de- mands of her captors, and at last succeeded in bribing an assistant to mail a letter to the Cincinnati cousin. Licutenant Shippey heard the story and at once proceeded with Miss Mailoy to No. 120, Forcing an entrance the off immec bogan a search and the Mailey woman shriily cried: ‘'saggie! Obh, Maggie! Maggic “Help, help!” faintly came back to the re spousc but a continued search failed to roveal the whereabouts of the missing woman. Tho lieutenant then orderela squad of police- men sent to his aid. Then the h began in earnest. KEvery room on the. main floor was en without success, until finaliy u blind door leading into the attic was dis- covered., It was burst down and there before tho officers was the object of the search. Crouch- ing in the narrow uen, the dim light from the hall lamps fuintly showing the outlines of the dusty raftors ‘and broken plaster, was Miss Rimpler, With a cry of joy she rushea forward and fell fanting into the arms of her cousin. Before tne ofticers recovered from their surprise they made another dis- covery equally shocking. Thrust back in the corner, the low hang- ng rafters brushing her brown curls, sata beautiful Danish girl, her face white and terror-stricken, her hands beforo her staring eyes. In broken Knglish she foobly begged that her life bo spared and asked that she be set free. With some dificulty she was pe suaded to go to the station and the keeper and all the inmates were placed under arvost. The police are of the opinion that the place in question has been dragging scores of women into lives of shame.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL DEAD He Passes Away at Oambridge from a Oom- plication of Diseases. AFFLICTED WITH MANY PAINFULL ILLS. Last Days of the Poet, I Diplomat itor George Jones | of the New York Times Dead. | ayist and Bostoy, Mass, Aug. 11.—James Itussell | Loweil died at his home at Cambridge at 2:10 o'clock this morning. Lowell himself nover fnguired as to the nature of his malady From inquiries 1t is ascertained that gout had afficted him almost constantly of late, and that sciatica, homorrhages and latterly a ro typo of fever had in turn affectod him. Lowell's he 8¢ th had boen impaired ever sinco | his return to this couutry in 188 after concluding his diplomatic services abroad. A year and @ halt 4 bis condition became serious, and a fatal termination was feared. Mrs. Burnett, his ouly child, has been with him constantly. She 1s his only near relative except a brother, whose whereabouts are unknown, Where Mr. Lowell died there were no mombers of tho family today but the daugh- ter and son-in-law of the poet, His body lies in his own sleeping apartment where tho last hours of his lifo wer® spent. The nurse who watched over nim auring his illness is still av the house. She was present at his bedsid from the time when he became unconscious Monday evening until he died early this morning, except for an absenceof a fow mi utes and his oeath was extremely peaceful. Although it was known that fie could not live much longer nis death was nevertheless ruther unexpecied. Lato - Monday alter- noon after 4 few hours of brightness he begun to wander again and whatever he said after that tune was aimless, In a few hours he become unconscious and never regained his mind. The transition from sleep to death was so ensy that for a few moments noy in the room observed that ho had ceased to breath. There was present at his bedside when he breathed his last, his_daughter Mabel and her husband, Mr. Burnett, with his first wife's sisters, Mrs. Howe aud the nurse. His eyes were closed and they never opened. Ho passed away with ouly'a heavy sigh to indicate Jhe separation of the great soul from the worn out boay. The funeral will be held Friday at noon in the Appleton chapel, Cam- bridge. It is probable that Bishop-Elect Brooks will officiate. r. Lowell's Iliness. 1t appears that Dr. Wyman when informed of Mr. Lowell's iliness mentioned to somo friends in Eugland that the discase would undoubtedly result fatally. This led to the writing of a letter of sympathy to Mrs. Bur- nett who thus received days ago her first in- timation of the serious_aspect of her father's case. Since that time she has been constantly at Elmwood. Few outside members of his own family knew how severe were his phys 1cal suiferings in tho past y Thesc s privileged few during all that timo, daily occasion to_observe with what he atience and fortitude he bore them. sufferand be strong” seemed to be his guiding principle. IPor the last twelve months and longer his health has been a source of ever present anxiety, At first it was undevstood that his illness was from stomach affection. Ho had suffered more or less previously from kidney complaint, and _the original” trouble with this organ renewed itself as bis general health declined. From the first he was unable to taie much outdoor excreise, What little he did take was in the form of carriage drives and a fow turns fn the garden, when tho state of the weather permitted. He passed a good deal of nis time in s library, but he did no writing. It was found neccssary, as his sufferings increased, to administer opiates to soothe his pains. He kept his good disposition through- out all his sufferings. To his family, and especially to his daughter, with whom he fregiently remonstrated for her ceaseless and wearing attendance upon him, he said not infrequently, “why should 1 givo you s0 much ‘roudle; why can you not let an old man die.’ Mr. Lowell had greatly regret- ted that the state of his health would not admit of his passing the summer at his usual summer resort in Southborn, Tribnte from His Publishers. For more than thirty years Houghton, Miftlin & Co. had been his publishers, They say his manuscript was always in his own hand writing and was beautiful copy, pe fectly legible and had very few erasures. Mr. Lowell, they said, was a charming caller. He could not write them a short, 1n- formal note, even upon a matter the most trivial, without making it bright, witty and characteristic. Speaking of the great ode which he read at the dedication of Harvard university me- morial bhall, they remarked that he had in this production achieved the greatest work of the age in this direction, and they said thut he had in its composition, in addition to the incentive of patriotism, the sense of personal loss, three of his nephews having participutea in the conflict, and one of them, the lamentod Colonel Shaw. a young man of the brightest promise for tho future, having been slain in battle. Mr, Lowell had aporiod of literary inactivity after the death of his first wiZa, but the outbreai of hostil- ities between the states broke up his lethargy and sorrow. The samo thing bapvened after tho death of his second wife. The boreaved husband was fora long time utterly incon- soladle. During this season of sorrow many feared for his health and there wera soms, indeed, who dreaded the rosult to the seasi- tive mind of the stricken man. Besides be- ing 10 the closest sympathy with him in bis literary production, sho was over solicitous for bis physival comfort, The af- fection of this pair for each other was most tender and_deep. She made it her porsonal care to sce that he was not permitted to pur sue his literary work or recreation to the in- jury of his_health, howsoever charming the volume in which 'he might be for the ume enerossed, and howover intenthe might be laboring and rounding out the particular tropo of ~ stanza, Whenover Mrs. Lowell deemed that the time was come for exercis. and food she would invado s hall of delight and bear him off with her He would write only when the mood wus upon him. He woilld write unceasingly for hours at a time, His Friendship for Gladsto Persons who claim to know say th Gladstone declared to a visitor that it was tho arguments of Mr. Lowell thac his own conversion to home rule in Ireland was due, The same gentleman stated that so far from any declne having taken piace in Mr. Low cll's republican principles during bis resi- dence in England, he was if anything mor intensely American than ever after his re- turn tothis country. He would declare to the younger men of his acquaintance that tho glorious destiny of this country and the per- manency of her institutions were not for a mo- ment to bo doubted or despaired of aud he added that although Mr. Lowell was a man of the kindliest nature he had no compunction | in ruffling the plumage of such American | young men us he wet within whom residence abroad had ongendered a siighting tone toward their nation and their people. This gentleman related tho fact of the great friendship which Mr. Lowell had for Mr. Gladstone aud the earl of Dorby as ap illus- tration of the American minister's fairness. Tlio English peer and the great commoner were s widoe as the poles from each other in political ideas but Mr. Lowell saw in each of them puricy of motive and integrity of pur- pose. 50,100, and for the same reason, he en- tertained a warm feeling of friendship for ex-Secrotary of State Bayara. ‘The incident has been ‘already related in | priut of Mr. Lowell's call upon President Cleveland, when he introduced himself as a mau who had come “with his head under his arm' to save the service of the executioner. There is another story conuected with his visit which has not hitherto been published. After his interview with the prosident Mr, Lowell called upon the secrotary of state and a conversation like this occurred Mr. Lowell—Your party has. put a pretty wise, clear-headed man iiito the white house. Oh, you have made that discovery, have you!" remarked the secretary. *Yes, I did make thatdiscovery, bt it was the only one I did make, for witer we hud tulked together about a couple of hours, 1 found he had pumped me dry, and still kept we in utter ignorance of what was in his own wmied.” Mr. Lowell, from subsequent intercourse BEE, THURSDAY, with M. Cleveland, cangeived o high opinion ot his abilith « and politieal morality. James Russell Lowell;LL. D., D, C.

L. was _couferred upon him in 1873, by the IEnglish umversity of Oxford, and that of LT D, by Cambridge in 1874, From 1857 to 1463 he was editor of the Atlantic Monthly, and he had previously been connected editorially or otherwise with the Pioneer, n magazine of high character ana the Anti-Slu Standard, Puatnam’s Monthly, and from 133 to 1572 was editor of the North Ameriean Review. He has also been locturer before the Lowell Tnstitute in Boston on_the British poets. Toward the close of 1574 he was ofTered tho post of minis ter to Russia, which he declined; but in 1 accepted that of minister to Spain; from which he was transferred in January, 1850, 1o that of minister to Gireat Britian.

They will arrive v New York at 11 tonight. The funeral servicos will be held on Friday morning at 10 o'clock at Dr. Newman's church, Madison avenue and Sixty-sixth street, The story of George Jfones’ life is the story of the founding and building up of the New York Times. He joined Henry J. Raymond in establishing the Times at tho age of forty. He had already beon successful in business, and entering the journalistic field was tho fulfiliment of his youthful ambitions. From the day the first copy of the Times was 1ssucd to the day of his death, to the ex- clusion of all other interestin affairs, he devoted his undivided timo and energios to that paper. Mr. Jones was born in Coultuey, Vt., Au- gust 16, 1811, His father and mother were natives of Wales, having come to this coun- try some years before i birth. 'The story of his youth is the faniliar story of siender means and havd toil, His parents died when he was thirteen years old, and he was left, to imself in the world. Ho entered a store 1n the villago kept by Amos Bloss, as clerk. Bloss was also proprietor of the North- ern Spectator, the village paper, and Jones soon became fast friends of an_ apprentice 1 tho printing office. This apprentice was Horaco Greeley. “The friendship which begun at this time was continued until Mr. Gresley's death, with only such interruptions as are natural to rivalries in journatism. In 1533 Mr. Jones wentto Now vork and first becamo connected with journalism in the business oftice of Horace Greeloy’s Tri- bune, and there he bacame acquainted witn Penry J. Raymond. afterwards his partner in the New York Times, ‘The complete history of Mr. Jone's man- agement of the Times necessarily in- cludes tho history of the fumous Tweed ring. Mr. Jones sccured the sceret accounts of the ring, and begun the fight which ended in the complete overthrow of Tweodism, When Tweed discovered that the Times was about to publish these ac- counts ho sent an agent to Jones offoring to buy the Times at any prico that Jones might name. This boing refused, $,000,000 was offered for the sunpression of the uc- count. but this offer was likewise rofused. In 1836 Mr. Jones married Miss Sarab M.

MORE RUMORS ABOUT THE TROUBLE, The Proposed Falls Through o Be Placed Bankoers' Syu ato 1the Road May o Hinds | in of a Receiver, ' Yonk, Aug. 12.—A plunger has ap- peared iu Wall stroot, His phenomenal suc cess is the talk and the wonder of speoula tors. His namo is Kdward H. Atwood and he “trades over the rail.” In other words,ho holds a tickot which entitles him to admis- sion to the subscribors’ departmont of the stock exchange. A railing runs around tho floor about six feet from tho wall, The sub sevibers, who pay £150 o year for the privi- lewo, can stand in this space and give orders to their brokers. It is here that Mr. Atwood | nas stood for the past ten days and astonished the other operators. Mr. Atwood has been bearing stocks, He started in on Chicago, Burlington & Quincy at 867¢, and broke it to 70ina few days. Then ho turned his atten- tion tothe Union Pacific. The stock was quoted at 42 when he began selling it. Down it went day after day, but iv did not go fast enough to suit him, Yesterday morning ho vent over the rail and gave ordors to sell us fast as takers could be found. Tho stock actod as if it was under a pile-driver. Ithad openod at 34 and had risen to 341 before he attacked it. When the day closed it w down 10 821, The transactions in Union Pa- cific for the day were 86,250 shares. It was reckoned that Mr, Atwood had sold 15,000 shares, Most of Mr. Atwood’s transactions have executed by Allison IR. Hopiins, the youngost broker in tho exchange, The profits ou them ara figured at £250,000. It has bren said that Mr. Atwood repro- seuts Jawes R, Keone. From all accounts Mr. [Ceenv 18 rapidly recovering tho $13,000,- 000 which he lost trying to_coruer the grain market seven years ago. Mr. Atwood is only thirty-four years old. Ho is a man of medium beiglit, with a pale face, prominent nose and slight side whiskers, He isa *“hustler” in his movements. He is not unknown to Wall strect, but has never before been classed as a heavy operator. He started in the street as a4 boy in tho office of Hilmers, McGowan & Co., and was finally admitted’ to the firm, which he represented on the stock exchange. He sold Eis seat on October 16, 1554, aft holding it only a year ad a half. Hiimers, McGowan & Co. were brokers for Henry Vil- lard, When the collapse came in 1881 thoy were compelled to o nto liquidation. Not much was seen or heard of Atwood from that time until he bobbed up the other aay as the heawiest operator on the short side of the market. “I'he operations of Mr. Atwood have di- rected attention anew to the complicated affairs of the Union Pacific railroad company, which is said to be in need of a large amount of monoy to provide for its Hoating debt, which has boen estimated at 230,000,000, It was hoped to discharge the debt by an issue of collateral trust bouds, but a market could not be found for them. They were eveatually used a3 collateral for loans secured by tho company. Since rumors of tho company’s financial embarrassment have become prova- lont, many of the loans have been called, making the situation moro serious than ever. Jay Gould proposed to form a syndicate 1o lend the company £15,000,000. He was to sub- seribe £2,000,000 and Russell Sage was to put himself dowh for £1,000,000. 1t was expectod that bankers would ' join the syndicate. M. Gould is at Idabo Springs. George J, Gould held a conference with J. Pierrepout Morgan yesterday. Mr. Morcan, it is said, refused to advance money, although he dxpressed o desiro to see the scheme carried through. ‘There was an expectation in some quarters that a receivor for the property would be ap pointed. At Mr. Gould’s ofice it was denied that such a stop would bo necessary under any circumstances. The entire bonded indebtedness of the Union Pacific, including the government, debt ard all branch line debts, is §250,000,000, but the mileage is 8,500, which makes the debt less per mile than the debt per mile of any other system west of the Mississippi. It earned last year £,000 a mile, and has assets in its treasury valued at market prices at $37,000,000. A dispatch from General Manager Clark 1s: “Never before were thore such boun- tiful crops on the Union Pacific system. Wheat, oats and barley are yielding far be- yond tho average. Corn promises equally well. Within the next two weeks I think every car upon the system will be taxed to its ntmost capacity.” Have Struck a Scheme. New York. Aug. 12.-—-The Post says the advance 1n Union Pacific this morning was caused by a report that a plan to carry the floating debt of the road for a period of two years was completed ana that formal an- nouncement will soon be mado of the details of the schemo. Theso are said to bo practi- caily the same as those in the plan used by the Atenison, ‘I'he obstacies in the way of carrying out the plan to form a syndicate to carry the floating debt of the Union Pacific company is said to have caused a change i the scnome laid out by the directors. It 1s re- ported today” that the proposed syndicato arrangement had been abandoned and a uew plau drawn up, something similar to the scheme adopted by the Atchison company two years ago, and by which tho large itors of tho compmny agreed to extend th maturing obligations for poriods of from two to threo years, the cventual payment being gunranteed by a new syndicato which will include soveral directors of the company. Iudefinite reports concerning the new ar- rangement were in civculation before tho ovening of the stock exchunwe and causod a number of buying orders to be piaced on the stock. The execution of these orders nd- vanced the price 3 per cent before noon. The trading in the stock was very heavy, the sales in the first hour amouuting to over thirty-one thousand snares. Oue of tho heaviest buyers of the stock sad: *Tho floating debt of the company tias all been satisfactorily arranged, but no statement. will be madd by the officials until all the papers have been signed and the par- ties to it legally bound by a formal agree ment. When this is done a full statement of the arrangement will bo given to the public. Russell Sage, when spoken to in regard to tho report. referred all inquirers to Georgo J.
