X | SIXTEEN HONDRED G MING One Estimate of the Number of Industrials Between Portland and Omaba. RAILROABS FEAR THIS GROWING ARMY Union Pacific Lined with Commonwenlers According to Colonel Breckenridge, the Advance Guard—Holdredge Says the Burlington Is Walting. At Union Pacific headquarters the officiels reported that there had been little disturb- ance, s0 far as the Industrials were con- cerned, since Saturday, when one of the con- tingents tried to capture a train on the Ore- gon division, but were prevented in their designs by the employes. Although there is a surface-like calm existing at Union Pacific headquarters over the situation the troubles of the company continue to occupy a good deal of attention on the part of the general manager and his subordinates, for telegrams are being constantly received stat- ing that armies are springing up along the entire line of the Unlon Pacific and that the men composing the contingents are growing restive over the military surveillance placed upon their movements by the courts. Yesterday Colonels Breckinridge and Colehan of the Fifth regiment of the Port- land army of the Commonweal arrived in Omaha and quartered at the City hotel. In conversation with Colonel Breckenridge he stated to a Bee man that 1,650 men were on the move between Omaha and Portland, travellng In companies, by regiments, by tens, by scores, strung out along the line of the Union Pacific, which seemed to be the most direct route to the castern states from the great northwest. That he and Colonel Colehan were in Omaha to assist the men in getting through the Missouri gateway. How this was to be done the colonel was some- what in doubt as the military would probably be called out should an effort be made to appropriate trains. He stated the men were peaceably inclined and only desired to get east where their presence might do some 800d in shaping legislation for the masses. The arrival of Colonels Breckenridge and Colehan was not known at Unfon Pacific heudquarters, although the officlals ~re- luctantly ‘admitted that there were many tramps, so called, stealing rides on freight trains. This condition of affairs worried them but little as there was hardly a freight train that did not have a tramp or two con- czaled somewhere, “All we desire,”” sald one of the Union Pacific officials, “Is to break up this travel- ing on the part of the Industrials in large bodies. ~ We can take care of small con- tingents, but we have not force adequate to cope with 300 or 400 men who are de- termined to get east. If we can break up the various partles on the system there will be little damage done to the property of the company, but if the men agree to rendezvous at central points our trouble will start all over again.” With Colonels Breckinridge and Cole- han came sixty Commonwealers. The men pulled into the depot on a fast frelght and at once transferred to the Bluffs, where they divided into small squads, and before daylight they had departed for the east where they “will join Kelly's army at a point agreed upon, but which at the present time is a secret to all except the leaders of the Industrials. In speaking of the trip Colonel Brecken- ridge said that the run was made from Cheyenne without accident and without hay- ing any trouble with the trainmen, officials or authorities. Colonel Breckenridge said: that the com- manders of the Commonweal had come to the conclugion that “smal) ‘Bodies of men could be trapsported over the country to much better ddyantage' than large crowds, and that in-the future the idea would be to send them out in“parties 6f from fifty to seventy-five. A home guard of 7,500, he said, had been organized in Portland, the purpose being to see that the fanfilies of the absent Industrials were cared for. Instead of -golng east Colonel Brecken- ridge will remain in the city for some time, looking after traffic arrangements for the men who are now coming from the west. FOR STEALING AN ENGINE, Breckinridge and Colehan Arrested for Thelr Part In the Montpelier Affalr. In accordance with a° telegram received from the United States marshal at Boise City, Idaho, Captain Mostyn and Detective Dempsey last night arrested R. B. Breckin- ridge and T. Colehan on a charge of steal- ing a Union Pacific engine at Montpelier, The charge was made at the request of the Union Pacific recelvers. United States Mar- shal Pinkham telegraphed the polic2 here to be on the lookout for the men, Breckinridge and Colehan, and to arrest them. Yesterday they arrived in the ocity and took no precautions to conceal thelr identity. They have been present at labor'meetings and have visited the newspaper offices In the city. They sald, when arrested, they had no fdea that there was a charge against them. Colehan was seen but had nothing to say. Breckinridge, however, is more communicative. ¢He sald he was In Port- land when he first intended Jjolning the army, and that he came with others from that city to Montpelier. He sald that there was no other way to get from the city but to steal the ongine, and as it was elther leave the city or starve, they took the en- gine; that is, there was an engine ‘on the track and some cars, and when they saw it about to leave without them he, his partner, Colehan, and probably fifty others, ran and took charge of it He said he had no part in compelling the engineer to leave the cab nor did he make any effort to that end. He says he and his partner were seen by Marshal Pinkham, and that he could have arrested them in Montpeller had he been so disposed. Breckinridge says he thinks the marshal let them go merely to get an. op- portunity to make his mileage. Breckin- ridge Is a telegraph operator and his home is in New York. Colehan is a railroader, Both were arrested at the Co-Operative hotel, Thirteenth and Capitol avenue. Clark Doosn't Endorse Coxoy. RAWLINS, Wyo., May 21.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—E. B. Clark, grand chief of the Order of Rallway Conductors, was an eastbound passenger on No. 1 this after- noon, going to Denver on officlal business, after a ghort visit in Ogden. In an-inter- view touching the Industrial army move- ment he sald: ““These men cannot accom- plish anything by going to Washington. In fact, it would be a national calamity if they thould, by congregating about the capitol, in- timidate “congress into patsing injudicious legislation. It would encourage others to menace congress whenever legislation wa: desired, and finally result in revolutio; He thought the determined .action of the Wyoming and ldaho authorities was a good thing and would no doubt check such law- lessners as the theft of rallroad trains. Kelsey's Co nd ut ¢ CORNING, Ta. nund ut Corning. May 21.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—General Kelsey's Omaha contingent of the Commonweal army ar- rived In the city at 3 o'clock this afternoon and were escorted by the sheriff to the tim- ber south of the’eity, where they went into camp. The citizens have provided them with ample supplies for supper and breakfast. General Kelsey delivered a speech. this even- ing to an audience of 1,000 people. They will take up their march in the moruing toward Creston. Commonwealers to Be TriediToday. CHEYENNE, Wyo.,, May 21.—(Special Telegram (o The Bee)—Judge J. A. Riner, of the United States eburt, said this after- noon that the hearing of the fifteen com- monwealers in jail here would be held to- morrow morning. Witnesses are In the eity from Montpeller, Idaho. They will be charged with contempt of court and will be tried on that mlone. Judge Lacy, local Union Pacific attornsy, states that there is plenty of evidence to convict them of the charge. Assaulted & Section Foreman. ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo, May 21.—(Spgoial Telegram to The Bee)—Frank Sheeban, a section foreman employed on the Union Pa- cifie road, wes assaulted by two Coxeyites between here and Green river last night and robbed of $300 amd a gold watch.

LA CROSSE, Wis., May 21.—Thirty of the gang of Coxeyltes started from Minneapolis ten days ago and reached Onalask this even- ing, catching a Burlington freight from East Winon g AMUSEMENTS. . Tho initlal season of summer opera at Boyd's was Inaugurated last evening by the Carleton Opera company, Strauss’ tuneful opera of the “Queen’s Lace Handkerchief” being given In a manner that elicited the warmest approbation by the large audience present to assist in launching Manager Boyd's new enterprise. The revival of this brightest composition of Strauss on this side the water {s most opportune, Berlin having had a taste of the master waltz creator's best work last month when the populace went in raptures over the opera and cast. 1t is nearly five years since the opera was glven last in Omaba, and a new generation almost of theater goers has sprung up who will have an opportunity tonight to hear one of the best productions in the Carleton repertoire. The full strength of “The Carletons” fs required to cast the “Queen's Lace Hand- kerchief”” properly, and the principals and company, recognizing that they were assocl- ated with a new venture in the west, sang as they have not sung in a long time, the result belng a most pronounced artistic suc- cess, worthy in every way the reputation achieved by Mr. Carleton as a careful and diseriminating manager. The chorus, made up of fresh voicos, added greatly to the en- semble, which was well considered and won hearty applause from those in front. Mr. Carleton was in excellent voice and sang the poetic role of Don Cervantes with credit to himself, his interpolation of the Toreador song from “‘Carmen’ being a happy selection and quite within reason, the bull fighter's chorus following the song closely and glving a pleturesque background to the selection from grand opera. Next to Mr. Carleton the honors of the evening fell to Miss Vincent and Miss Bell, the former as the queen, the latter as Donna Irene. Miss Vincent, who is one of the handsomest women on the operatic stage, looked and acted the part of the royal mis- tress to perfection, singing the part, too, with fine ability, hervoiee being particularly well sustained in the upper and middle regis- ter. Miss Bell, bright and winsome, was a most bewitching lady in waiting upon her roya) charge, and she stfengthened the per- formance greatly by’ her' flexible soprano. J. C. Taylor as the 'king was quite in keeping with the part, his one solo being sung most acceptably. A. H. Imano as the premier, the arch plotter who endeavored to overthrow Cervantey, Miss Clara Wisdom as the marchioness, allled 'with the premier in his machinations, Tom 'Ricketts as the buf- foon, Don Sancho, and H. Ehrendt'as the minister of war weré a’quartet that bright- ened the opera greatly with bits of innocent fun and frolic. Taken lin its entirety the performance was highly satisfactory and suc- cessfully inauguratcd 'the- summer season, which deserves tb be'successtal. Mr. Carleton, in speaking of summer opera, said to a ‘representative of The ‘Bee last night: “The idea does not seem to be clearly understood as vet in the west, but I have no doubt that so intelligent a_public as Omaha amusement goers are will soon realize its peculiar advantages. “The long season of summer opera in Washington, Baltimore and other important cities in the east has become an institution Thich the public at once Tealizes the value of. ) “In the first place, I am able to present a company which as been working harmoni- ously together for years, and therefore the difcult operas are placed before the public well rehearsed and smooth in all details through the result of frequent repetition. By the advantage gained in having no trav- eling the singers are in hetter form than when sufferfng from the effects of severe and arduous railroad journeyz, and abso- lutely the public recelves greater value dur- ing these summer seasons than during the regular theatrical season; particularly should it be borne*in mind that I am able to pre- sent the operas in perfect form at half the cost of the usual opera prices. “In the eastern cities which I name the audiences are of the creme de la creme of each city and the ‘four hundred’ aro repre- sented {n strong force. The ladies have no hesitation In coming to the perforthances without escorts, and the jeunesse doie are consplcuous in their flannel suits and tennis shoes, in fact there is a delightful absence of formal restrictions as to costume, which is a relief during the heated term. “In Boyd's theater there are more than usual opportunities to reduce the- tempera- ture, should the weather become warm. In- deed I have never seen a theater more pe fect In its arrangements for the glving of a summer season of operd. My desire I8 to make this experimental scaton a success that I may give in Omaha, Kansas City and Denver annually a season of summer opera, and thus duplicate the ‘past successes of cities of the same caliber in the east.” e T SHIPPING WOOL T0O EUROPE. Wyoming Wool Growers Trying an Ex- periment that May Prove Profituble, CASPER, Wyo.,, May 21.—(Special Telo- gram to The Bee.)—Saturday Senator Joel J. Hurt shipped threc cars of wool to Eng- land. Senator Hurt 18 @ pronounced free trader and one of the largest wool growers In this state. This is the first direct wool shipment to Europe from this section, and a matter that is attracting more local at- tention than anything that has happened in the wool business for years. Senator Hurt says he will top the American market over 2 cents per pound. If the senator's idea is correct all the wool from here. next soason will be shipped direct to Burope. The 1% cents commission charged by the commission men whenthey are only getting 6% cents per pound for Wyoming wool is looked upon as little less than robbery, and the wool raisers are looking for a market whero they can get “their wool handled cheaper.

Y., May 21.—The flood now being experfenced is the worst that has occurred In the Genesee valley for yoars. The water s two feet above tho high water mark of the great freshet five years ngo. As far as the eye can see down the valloy is a vast expanse of water, timbers and wreckage. The destruction of crops fs com- plete, and farmers will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Bradner creek at Cumminsvile has swept across rich farming land. The Canaseraga vafiey has suffered terribly, with bridges being carried away and the main roads cut and washed for rods in places, rendering it fmpassable. Great damage has been done in Stoney Brook Glen and the gorge is dammed to a great height with trees and floodwood. The Dansville & Mount Morris road is under water for miles and traffic is suspended. The wooden bridge below town fis under water and there are fears It will be swept away. The situation is_deplorable. RUSHFORD, N. Y., May 2L.—The heavy thunder storms of Thursday and Friday were followed on Saturday and Sunday by almost continuous rains, and today the Geneseo valley again is the scene of a flood fully equal to the freshet of June, 1889, and the loss of the farmers on the low lands cannot bo estimated. Acres of crops are washed out completely, miles of fences have gone down stream and many farms are badly cut up by the raging waters. Several houses between Caneadea and Ora- mel were surrounded by the water before tho occupants got out. Altoona creek over- flowed and made a river of Main street, filling cellars and carrying off all loose prop- erty. Below Houghton the river went over the banks and washed out the tracks of the Western New York & Pennsylvaniu a long distance. At Fillmore and Gold Creek floods took away the highway bridge about noon and families wero taken from their houses in wagons in the lower part of the towns. At dark it had ceased raining, but the river was still rising. At Rush- ford two creek bridges were washed away and below the town, on Rushford creek, two more. The roads in many places are under water and washed out so badly that they are impassable. ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 21.—The Gene- see river Is within one foot of high water mark of the year. Cellars in the business portion of the city are filling with water and the river s on a level with the tracks of sev- oral raflroads entering tho city. It Is still raining and should it continue a freshet is fearzd. Towns along the valley report dam- age from high water and a steady rise of the river. The trains on the Western New York & Pennsylvania roads did not run through today. The tracks are covered at Mount Morris, Cuba and other points along the line. CORNING, N. Y., May 21.—The heavy raing since Friday have inundated all the low lands. Great damage has been reported. Fall Brook Railway company's track between here and Willlamsport, Pa., is covered with water and landslides and trafic is abandoned. OLEAN, N. Y., May 21.—The Allegheny river has risen eighteen feet and spread over many miles of low lands. No lives are re- ported lost. All trains on railroads are laid out, tracks being submerged and bridges carried away. ELMIRA, N. Y., May 21.—For forty-eight hours rain’ has been falling. All streams are greatly swollen. Traffic Is seriously interfered with, The Chemung river is fiteen feet above low water mark and rising six inches an hour. Tt s within four feet of the highest mark of 1839, The Northern Central Is not running a train north and the Erie is having difficulty between here and Corning. GENESEO, N. Y., May 21.—The rain still continues here. At the present rate of rising the city of Rochester is doomed to be inun- dated. The railroad bridge over Canacadea creek on the Mount Morris branch is reported undermined, thus stopping railcoad trains with the south end of the county. BRADFORD, Pa., May 21. — The water which covered twenty of Bradford's streets to the depth of several feet is receding, and it is believed the flood has spent Its force. The property loss here is at least $12,000. There was no loss of life, but numerous narrow escapes. A panic was caused last night by the report that the water works reservolr west of this place had burst, and the wildest excitement prevailed until the rumor_was proved to be untrue. The Buf- falo, Rochester & Pittsburg ~tracks have Dbeen washed out east of here, and trains have not resumed running. Much damage is reported by the flood at Olean, N. Y., Dunkirk, Jamestown, Corry and other places. The water is now falling at Oil City, and no danger Is apprehended. BUFFALO, May 21. — Reports from all parts of western New York show that the flood of the last three days has not been equalled since the Johnstown flood in 1889. In the suburbs of Buffalo thousands of dol- lars worth of market gardens have been rendered almost worthless. The crops on low lands have been washed out. Thus far railroads have mot suffered extensively, A special to the Express from Bradford says: The flood has subsided and the heavy downpour of rain has ceased. At River- side park a few miles below the city the Puffalo, Rochester & Plttsburg track has been washed out for a quarter of a mile, The railway bridge over the Alleghany there 1s under water and liable to go. NORRISTOWN, Pa., May 21.—Traffic on all raflroads is suspended and the tracks are covered with water. All the houses on Front Street in Bridgeport are flooded and the in- mates are moving out. A large bridge was washed away at Port Kennedy and the rail- way bridge over Stoney creek went with it. FLOOD IN MINNESOTA, Largo Lumber Companles Lose Much Valua- ble Tlmber from High Waters. ANOKA, Minn,, May 21.—Rum river has reached' the danger line and Is rising stead- ily. At noon yesterday about 1,000,000 feot of logs broke loose, carrying booms, piers and several outbuilding of Page Bros. Lum- ber company down stream. Most of the logs are lodged against the upper bridge, endan- gering that structure 5o that traffic had to be sucpended. The new starch factory is {nundated, but will stand the strain for some time to come. The west bank of the river has caved within twenty feet of the Com- mercial hotel. A crew of men is at work bullding up the ends of the dam, as the water is within six inches of the river bank. Hun- dreds of anxious citizens were watching the river all day yesterday and today their fears were much relleved by the fact that the water {s now apparently at Its highest point. It is thought no damage will result. ST. PAUL, May 21.—The Mississippl is still rising rapidly. The district below the higher bridge has grown into a veritable lake. A few of the houses on the flats it is impossible to reach at all. In many houses the kitchens are a foot deep In water. Over on the west side beyond the high bridge the conditidn of affairs is not quite so disastrous, the land being higher. There is little dan- ger of the river rising much higher unless there comes another deluge of rain. JOHNSTOWN WAS A HEAVY LOSER. Two Tramps in: a Box Car Drowned Whea the Embankmeut Collapsed. JOHNSTOWN, Pa, May 21.—About 3 o'clock this morning Johnstown was visited by the most destructive flood since the dis- aster of May 81, 1889, Tt will be @ hard mat- ter to estimate the loss, but it is an assured fact that the damage done In the city and within five miles of it will amount to from $60,000 to $80,000. The Penusylvania rail- road 15 the heavlest loser. Most of its loss {s the result of a bad washout in its track about Conemaugh. For several days the Conemaugh and Stony Creek valley have boen visited by heayy rains of almost a continuous nature. At Bast Conemaugh the water Leat furl- ously agalnst the large Pennsylvania round hon'e and weakened the foundations o greatly that it was found necessary to re- move the engines to a place of safety. The building, however, stood. Several bridges and wooden structures below Conemaugh were badly damaged, but the greatest dau- age was in this eity. THREATENED BY AN IOWAMOB Oon ‘uotor Ridpath's Murderars May Be Lynched at Des Moinos, CROWDS GATHER AROUND THE JAIL One of tho Prisoners Detalls th In Which the Crime Was Committod —Shot While Rosiating the Highwayme DES MOINES, May 21.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—There is great excitement in this city this evening, and a double or triple Iynching may take place before morning. Since the middle of the afternoon there has been a great crowd at the court house, and at this writing (9 p. m.) several thousand per- sons are congregated there. On every hand the talk Is general that the murderers of Conductor Ridpath Saturday night should be summarily dealt with. Ever since the trag- edy took place it has been one of the princi- pal topics of conversation and the almost general verdict has been that the perpe trators, If caught, ought to be lynched. Two of the culprits have been caught and are now in the county jall, and if the proper organization is effected’ a lynching is not improbable. The two men arrested are John Krout and Barney - Hammil. The one at large is George Weems, and the police are close on his track, with every pros- pect that he will Dbe arrested soon. The first one caught was Krout, his arrest occurring last evening. It was brought about by his appearance at his boarding place about midnight Saturday, his clothing and face and hands covered with dirt and spotted with blood. He was about half drunk, and told his landlady that he had just done something that would send him to the penitentiary, but would say nothing further. The landlady, when she learned of the murder on reading the papers Sunday, at once notified the police of Krout's state- ment, and he was later arcested. He was placed in jail, and told the polico who were with him at the time of the murder. Ham- mil was caught about noon today at a team- sters’ camp in the western part of the city All three of the men are well known local toughs, who have frequently been before the courts on one charge or another. Krout says they concluded Saturday even- ing that they must have some money, and agreed to go up Third street in the deep shade and hold up the first man who came along. This happened to be Conduetor Rid- path, and he was shot while resisting their demands. It it reported that Weems has been arrested at Adel. At midnight it was stated by an officer that the prisoners had been removed early in the evening to Winterset for safety, but the truth of this Is not confirmed.” The crowd remained all evening about the court house, and at midnight many were still there, 1f an attempt should be made to break into the jail and should succ:ed, it is feared that other prisoners there charged with murder, especially Mrs. Smith, who is believed to have poisoned her husband, might suffer at the hands of the mob. It is also feared that when the railroad men learn for certain that the murderers of Ridpath are at Winter- set or elsewhere they may organize a party and lynch them, it being much easier of ac- complishment there than it would be in Des Moines. e EITHER DEAD OR CURED. Promise with Which Pedro Rivero Disap- peared—His Friends Alarmed. Considerable misery attaches to the re- cent disappearance of Mr. Pedro Rivero, the proprietor of the Spanish cigar factory, Six- teenth and Chicago streets. His strange conduct. of late has been a cause of surprise to his friends and family, and now causes alarm. About ten days ago he went to his store and for a few hours worked busily with his books, looking worried. After he finished the books he got up, walked the floor a while, rubbed his hands over his face and muttered to himself. The first one to notice anything strange about him was his clerk and foreman, S. Tristan. He was seen last night, but.could not explain the strange conduct of his employer on that day. He sald that about a week ago he came into the store apparently under the influence of liquor. He-deemed this very unusual, for he had never seen him in an intoxicated condition before, though he knew he drank occasionally.. For several days then he neglected his business, only remaining in the store a few moments at a time, and it was plain he had been drinking heavily. Last Friday things came to a climax. Ri- vero went to the store after having been away the previous night from his home. Ho merely said good morning to the employes, and volunteered the information he Wwas going away. He did not say where. After this he went home and told his wife he was going away and that he would return either dead or cured. She begged him to tell where he was going and to explain his strange conduct of the past few days. He did nefther, but said he would return either dead or cured. He then left, and has not been heard of or seen since. His home 13 at 617 North Seventeenth street. Some neighbors were seen, but they could not advance any information. It was learned from his wife that the cause of his leaving could not have been family trouble, as they never had, any. She fy much affected by the strange leaving of her husband. She said he had no money when he left, and that all he took with him was a couple of boxes of cigars. He took no valise or overcoat. THG TRIUMPH OF LOVE IS HAPPY, FRUITFUL MARRIAGE.” PACTS FROM ABROAD. "AND ITS VALUE TO US. A Dealnration Made by the Great Doctor Fotherglil for tho Benefit of the Peo- ple of the World Hus A Much Attention, vused LONDON, Eng., April 30.—The following statement, made by the late Dr. J. Milne Fothergill, the eminent sclentist, who was physiclan for the Longon hospital for dis- eases of the chest, has made quite a sensa- tion. After denouncing ofls and similar substances when used as food, he said: “Fatty olly foods cannot be taken by those whose stomaches are weak or whose di- gestive organs are out of order. What food should such people have? I say they need food which acts as a strengthener and suse tainer, as fuel to feed the lamp of lift, and that is starch food. A soluble starch food which will be readily assimilated by DR. J. MILNER FOTHERGILL. the digestive organs is the food for pe whoso digoative organa are weals . Lo It was only natural tiat such ment, coming from so high an should have made a profound among the leading physicians tists of Europe, and it brings into special prominence the recent discovery of pres digested starch food known to doctors, to scientists and the world as Paskola. Com- paratively few people outside the highest medical eircles know of this wonderful dis- covery,but it is known to possess the quali- tics of flesh-forming, Atrangth-imparting, life-giving power which has never been known before in the history of the world. Tests which have been made showing a weak, pale, run-down condition, accom- panied with indigestion and general loss ot energy, have shown most remarkable results, and it'is not improbable that the discovery of Paskola will be accepted as the flosh- forming food of the nineteenth esntury by the highest authorities both in Euope and America. Cortainly it s superseding cod liver oils, beef tea, and the fatty prepara- tions which have been used so extensively in the past, and the results so far achieved amply warrant the wisdom of those who have taken such action. A pamphlet giving full particulars re- specting Paskola will be sent on application to the Pre-Digested Food Co., 30 Reade St., New York City.
