Carroll has an idea that he can beat Ed Pritcnard. A wealthy Brooklynito thinks 80 t0o, and is willing to back him against the Britishor for £,000. McAuliffe’s object in going abroad is to “havea cut” at Jim Carney or Dock Burg. Carroll savs should he defeat Pritchard he will immediately chaliengo Fitzsimmons for as much money as he can raise.

The agreoment was that when the road was completed the trusiee should de. liver the stock to the commissioners of Atehi- son county, and they snould deliver the bonds to the railroad company. efore the railroad was vompleted in ac- cordanco with the terms and conditions of the subscrintion and upon which the bonds were voted and issuod, & proposition was presented to the board to'sell the stock of the county to the railroad company in considera- tion of &1 in cash and & good many promises to make Atchison the terminus of the line. The proposition was accepted and without submitting the matter to a vote of tho veople, the commissioners transferrod the stock. The bonds wore also turned over to the company. Lawyers are of the opinion that the whole proceeding of the commis- sioners was unauthorized and void. Thoy also claim that the county can compel tho company to issue the certificate of stock fof $150,000; also to account for all the dividends paid on account of the stock after the com- plotion of the road, which amount to between 200,000 and §250,000. e ST, LOULS TRAGE, Four Victims of Murder and Suicide in One Day.

Terrible Experience of a Schooner's Orew on Lake Michigan, COVERED THE VESSEL WITH ICE. Away in Order to Main of Ropes Chopped Bring Down Sails—In the the Frozen the Tecth Stor Cnicaco Brneao or Tre Brr, | Citicaao, TlL, Nov. 19, | The fore-and-aft schooner Cape Horn of Muskegon, as she lies at tho foot of Wells street, looks like one of the crystal ships seen in a stage trausformation. The rigging Is so coated with ice that the ropes had to be chopped away to bring down tho main sails. The Jib was as stiff as a stone wall and the bowsprit was hung with great twisted icicles, In the forward part of tho boat tho solid covering of glozed whiteness is as bigh as the guards, and tho “fo'castlo” looks like u Laplander's hut. When the Cape Hora left Muskegon she carried 250,000 feet of pine lumber, but 40,000 feet had been washed away. A the schooner headed west heavy billows struck her from tho south and car- ried away enough of her cargo to make her lie over on the side like a wounded duck, Monday ovening at 9 o'clock the schoonor leit Muskegon, and before she had been out an hour Captain Barry was ready to turn back, ‘The wind was so”high that the topsails were reefed at the very start. As tho gale increased in fury the captain thought of putting into 1d [aven, but feared that he could not pass ates in safety becauso of the darkness and rough sca. I'here was but one thing to do, and that was to put across the lake in the teeth of tho storm. ‘T'he boat sprang a leak and soon there were four feet of water inthe hold.

Not ono of us expected to see land again.” By Tuesday morning the leak in the hold was somewhat under control and as the wind tad subsided the Cape Horn worked cautious- ly eastward and was towed into the Chicago river. Nebraska and lowa Flax. Referring to a statement recently made by an Irish linen manufacturer, that valuavie fla was allowed to rot in the fields of lowa and Nebraska, James Watson of Lemars, la., said today at the Welllngton: “Mauy at- tepts have been mada in our state to save e flax fibre, but most of them were com- ploto failures and tho partial successos wero not encouragine. The climate is not favorablo to the_handling of the linen fibre. It is too dry. The climates of Ireland and Scotland are particularly humid and the flax can bo handled without trouble because the atmos- phere keeps it moist. With us the air is so dry that the fiore soon becomes hard and brittle ana caunot be haudled without breaking. Artificial moisture was tried, but tne thread produced by this means was so coarse as to be almost worthioss. 1t is made up into crash and other common linen fabrics, but no approach to the flue bleachod goods could be mado. The man who discovers a practicable process for treat- ingour flax will make a fortune.” A Lumpy-Jaw Sensation. During the lumpy-jaw investigation av Pe- oria by microscopical examination of pus from a bullock, the startling discovery was mado that the spores are smaller than blood corpuscles, thus allowing them to circulate through the veins and reach all portions of the body. The prosecution has held all along that this could not be the case, but the dis- covery places the fact beyond doubt that tho disease is highly contagious. Coming After Prisoner Mulien.

The lake is lower thun it has been for the last twenty years and in consequence residents of Lake View will be obliged to put up with short rations, so to spoak, for the winter. It may even amount ta completo stovpage of the supply for short intervals and will, atall times through- out the winter, be more'or_less inconvenicnt and unpleasant for the resideats of the ex treme northern section of the city.

So Nothing Resulted and the Prisoner Still Lives—The Jail Temporarily Transformed into an Arsenals Bram, Neb, Nov. Special to e B Lack of nerve and want of a leader was all that saved Arthur Sloan from being hangod at tho hands of a mob last niht Tho crime which he committed is still fresh in the minds of the people hereaouts, and as soon s the nows spread that Sloan was i’ the Blair jail threats of lynching wore made. In the surrounding towns near Fontanello the arrest was tho sole topie of conversation. At Nickerson ana Herman the feeling against Sloan was the atrongest and a score or two of farmers and residents set out at once for Blair, By 10:30 o'clock rive and put up thoir tho visitors began to ar- cams, About midnight thore were fully fifty strangers in town and they au talked lynch law, The crowds gregated in severnl diferent saloons and re- maiued all night, putting in most of the time drinking and wishing for something to turn up or some one to take the lead and arrauge plans for an assault on the jail. Up at the county jail everything was as quiot as the grave, Sloau siépt in & chilled iwon cage with @ burglar as his next door neighbor. These two were tho only pris- ouers in the jail. In the little oftice, which, for the timo being, had been turned’ into an armory, sat Deputy Sheriff Mencke, couple of specials and Tie Bre corresn ont. A half dozen long barreied H-c Colt’s revolvers lay upon the tuble and each inmate of tho room had a similar weapon strapped to his waist. Tho acting sheriff had given it down town in the early part of the evening, when the lynching rumors first be camo current, that if wuy attemvt was mado to enter the jail somobody would be killed, ‘This dotermination ou the part of the deputy no doubt quieted the rage of the gathering mob and saved Sloan the death which had been intended for him. Tho keepers at the jail positively d to allow anyono to sce or speak (o the prisoner, aud the fact that ho was liable to bo treatea toataste of lynch law was carcfully kept from bim. All night long little knots of mon wero seen on tho street or in the rum shops, aud the subject uppermost in the minds of all was the lynching of the muvderer of the Bald wins. Nooue coutd be found to act as leader and the consequence was that the murderer saw the sun rise through the steel barred window of his cell instead of being a subject for the coroner, T'o Sheriff Harriman the prisoner talked but hittle, but he did say thut he remained in Fremont two days and then went to Omaha aud from there to the farm in lowa whero he was captured. In a later conversation wit the deputy sheriff, Sloan said that he hid in the corn aud that tho heavy rain at that time washed out his tracks and ~ made pursuit im possible. He claimed to have walked to Ar- lington and taken a train there for Owma| but this statement is not believed by sheriff, as the stations at and near Arlington were watched for two days by special depu- ties. At the hotel breakfast tables and in the bar rooms about town the report spread that the Tekamah light guards nad been sent for and would proteet the jail tonight. When the sheriff heard the report he said there was no truth in the rumor and that he had notand would not cail upon the governor for help, us he did not believe there would be any organized attempt to lynch bis prisoner. When captured the prisoner nad a six or soven weeks' growth of board on his face. About 9 oclock this morning a ber was sent for and in & fow moments the prisoner’s face was per- feetly smooth aud he looked us he did before he left this vicinity so suddenly. After tho shave and hair cut _and a bath, Sloan was taken into the sherifi’s oftice in the court house adjoininy the jail, and was closeted for a full hour with the sheriff and county prosecutor, W. S. Walton. At the conclusion of the' private interview Sloan was taken before County Judge Hemming and tho iuformation’ read to the prisoner. Judge Hemming asked Sloan to plead, but he declined untii he haa con- sulted with an attorney. The prosecutor sent for a lawyer and the prisoner nad a long interview with his legal adviser in the sher if’s oftice. When the reading of the loue complaint charging the prisoner with malicious murder was conciuded, Sioan heaved a sigh and sat down without Saying a wora. In & moment he asked the sheriff to loosen his handcuffs as they pinched. This was done, and then out cold the private interview with his attorney com- wenced. consulting with his attorney, L. W. Sloan waived examination and was bound over to the district court, which cou- venes in May. Ho 15 now in the county jail. There 15 no excitoment here and it is thought there will be no attempt at lynching if bis trial passes off at the first terim. Sloan’s waiving of tho examination savos the county 500, as witnesses would huve had to be summoned from all over Washington and Dodge counties, Sloan was visited in his cell in the county jail by Tue Bee correspondent. e tells several stories as regards his whereabouts between the tims of the commission of the mucder and his arrest. He tells several stovies also regarding the manner in which tie accomplished the deed, but in all of them ho maintains that he acted in self defense, and that he shot only whon he was about to be jumped on by his stepfather aud brother and the hired man. Ho claims that he had ) his rovolver but three cart- dgos at tho time of the shooting, all of which were exploded. He asserts that if be had had a fourth cartridge ho would havo killed himself after he had disposed of his victims. In Sloan’s revolver, when the murderer was arrested, there were three cartridges also. Two of those were too suall for the chambers and appeared Lo have been but recently inserted. Tho third ono was of the right swze andg, Sloan says, similar to thoso with which the deed was ‘done. He claims, however, that all of the latter three cartridges were ‘purcnased in Des Moines, a circumstance which is not boen out by the condition of the bullet which fits the chamuber. This one is badly corroded from the peroussion to tho other extremity. This artrigge 1s belioved to have been fn'the gun when Sloau did the shooting and wives son to doubt his desire of f su eause the cort ion shows the effect of storm to which Sloan was exposed after the kil Extra guards watch the murd have been appoluted to ror under Deputy Sheriff Moncke. Sheriffl Harriman tonight took a atly needed rest. Seven hundred dollurs had béen offered for the arrest of Sloan, $100 by 2200 by citizeas of r'ontanelle and 100 by Jules Baldwin, a son of tho mur- dered man. Tho county of Washington, howover, refused to contribute . penny to this fund and the citizens of whis city severely condemn tho parsimoniois action of the super- visors, Whether these officials will repuai ate Shoriff Harriman's bill for extra guards is i question now being agitated. The latter oficial today visited Foutanelle to ascertain what danger might be apprebended of alyneh- ing. He found only three men who favored exceution and these ho dissuaded from their purpose. The son of tho mur. man, howoever, has not yet reached Just'at present there is no well de movement to hang Sloan though it cannot bo told what effect a long aud ex- pensive imprisonment, a chango of venue and a possible acquittal of the murderer would have.
