Inspector and Five Captains Among Those Recently Indicted. ALL MARCHED INTO COURT. Bribery, Perjury and Extortion the Principal Charges Against the Accused. W YORK, March 19.—All the police I inst whom indictments were 1d yesterday by the extraordinary Grand were arrested when they went to po- sadquarters this morning. indicted are: Inspector William McLaughlin, Captain Jacob Siebert, Union Market station; Captain J. J. Donghue, West Twentieth-street station; Captain . Murphy, West One Hundredth-street station; Captain J. K. Price of the Mc- -street station; former Police Cap- liam S. Devoy; Wardman Edward mon (dismissed); Wardman Edward Il (formerly under Captain Price); man Burns (jumped his bail). ntendent Byrnes said there was a rant for still another formerly con- ed with the police force. The prison- conducted to the District Attor- by Inspectors Williams and 3 Byrnes id the indictments handed him were that had been found. In the corridor the captains talked ex- ily with their chiefs, but all professed to what evidence they could ers wer » been indicted upon. When it was nounced that all the prisoners were wanted in the court of Oyer and Terminer, where District Attorney Fellows was wait- i the amount of bail, the men filed into line, and, headed by Inspector Wil- liams, entered the courtroom. Inspector William M ughlin was the first called to he inspector, pale and trembling s addressed by the clerk, who here are five indictments against Justice Ingraham was handed the papers in the c , and upon the recommendation of District Attorney Fellows, the bail was fixed at $20,000. The bail on the first charge was fixed at $10,000 and each of the four at $2500. The bail in the case of . Donohue was fixed at $2300; Michael phy, $10,000; ex-Captain William s bail was fixed 10,000. In the aptain John T. Stephenson no as issued as he now under il pending a new trial for bribery. re three indictments against Henry W. Schill, one for bribery, one for perjury and one for extortion. On the first two charges bail was made at $3006 . and on the latter $1000. Captain Jacob Seibert was held in $10,000 and Captain J. R. Price in $2500 for extor- tion. Edward Glennon, who is under in- dictment and out on $5000 bail, had $5000 added. James Burns is under indictment, and District Attorney Fellows said he had good reason to believe he would appear to give ba he amount was not fixefl. Carpenter is not on the force now and lives in New York. As soon as the formality of fixing bail was over they were taken back to the District Attorney flice, where their bondsmen were examined. The indict- ments against Inspector McLaughlin al- lege that the offenses were all committed while he was in command of the old slip station—the First Precinct. h indictment against McLaughlin contains five counts, four for bribery, one for extortion. The first four counts alleged that certain sums were paid him and received by him as a bribe, upon the understanding that he was to protect the giver from po- lice interference. The indictments against Captains Donohue and Price charge them with attempted extortion, in that they en- deavored to obtain money from Jared Flagg Jr., by threatening to prosecute him for renting flats for immoral purposes. Captain Murphy is indicted for accept- ing a bribe of $50, on April 1, 1890, from Robert Payne, who formerly kept a con- cert hall on Eighth avenue, to protect Payne from police interference. The indicfment against Captain Seibert is for accepting $25 on July 1, 1890, from Augusta W. Barney, keeper of the Mag- nolia Hotel, to protect her from police in- terference. Ex-Captain Devoy is indicted for bribery and extortion. The specific complaint is that he took $100 from Francis W. Sergrist Jr., on May 30,1894, Sergrist was at that time tearing down a building in Devoy’s precinct. Ex-Captain Carpenter entered the court soon after the other cases were disposed of and was admitted to bail in $10,000. Ex-Captain Stevenson was indicted for accepting §100 on February 1,182, from ‘William J. Prelle, president of the Liquor- dealers’ Association of the Fifth Ward, to insure protection. Ex-Captain Carpenter is indicted for re- ceiving §1000 from William Harmann on March 1, 1891, to protect the members of the Retail Liguor-dealers’ Association. A witness against Carpenter -was Captain Schmittberger. Ex-Wardman Glannon is indicted for taking a bribe of $100 on May 13, 1894, from Francis W, Sergrist Jr. He took the bribe for himself, and in another indictment he is charged with taking $100 for the captain. There are three indictments against Pa- trolman Henry Schmit for bribe-taking from saloons and disorderly houses, and for perjury in false-swearing hefore the Grand Jury. Ex-Captain Stevenson will be required to appear on Thursday morning to plead to the indictment, but he will not be arrested or placed under additional bail. The other indicted officers will appear before Justice Ingraham Thursday morning at 10:30 o’clock to plead. BOUND FOR LIBERIA, Departure of a Steamer With Many Negro Emigrants. SAVANNAH, Ga., March 19.—This aft- ernoon the Danish steamer Horsa, with 197 negro emigrants, steamed down the river on her journey to Liberia. “The decks were crowded with emigrants and their baggage. The wharves along the river were crowded with negroes and whites. Thousands of negroes cheered the emigrants, who sent back cheers, while their leader violently waved a large American flag. The emigrants are in cx- ~ cellent shape for colonizing purposes. They carry an immense amount of bag- gage, probably 500 Jarge boxes being taken on the steamship. They expended several thousand dollars here for agricultural im- plements, household goods, etc., and are thoroughly equipped for their new life. Many of them have considerable money. They were given land by the Liberian Government. Some of them have been singing songs of praise and praying on the wharf while waiting for the steamer to complete its cargo. A new negro song, “Back to View My Native Land,” was sung as the Horsa left the wharf. LoaprpE TYSON IS RESENTENCED. The Unfortunate Murderer Again Near- ing the Gallows. DENVER, March 19.—Judge Butler to- day denied the motion to discharge Henry Tyson and resentenced him to be hanged the second week in April. Tyson in 1888 killed Charles Summer, who had eloped with Tyson’s wife. He was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged in December, i889. He became deranged and the sen- tence was suspended. For three years Tyson lay in a dark dungeon, losing his senses of sight and hearing and power of motion.* Recently under proper treatment his lost senses have returned and a jury has declared him sane. Before resentenc- ing him to death, the court denied a mo- tion for his discharge. His attorneys say they will take the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. ¢ STLE ALL THE WHISKY. ONE WAY OF GETTING LIQUOR OUT OF BOND AT SMALL CosT. THE WAREHOUSE BURNED TO DE- STROY THE EVIDENCE OF A NoveL, DARING THEFT. COLUMBIA, 8. C., March 19.—Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Vandervord has unearthed one of the most novel cases of robbery in the annals of the Federal courts in this Staie. The story, as ob- tained from the confession of some of those implicated in the conspiracy, is as follow: In 1892 Mr. Bieman of Walhalla, S. sold the Government distillery No. located three miles from that town, to W. C. Tatum. In the warehouse con- nected with the distillery was between 8000 and 10,000 gallons of whi and the warehouse was closed under seal of the revenue officers, Tatum intending to hold the whisky for the period of three years allowed by law before stamping it. Tatum closed the distillery when he made the purchase. A little later the stealing began. The warehouse was built on the slope of a hill. The robbers drew the staple of the door, inserted one end of a hose into a whisky barrel, squeezed the hose through a crack in the wall and syphoned the whisk an empty barrel at the foot of the hill sev- eral rods away, whence they could haul it away without serious risk of detection. This process they repeated nightly until every gill of whisky had been safely re- moved. Then the band assembled one night, and, after filling the barrels in the warehouse with water, carefully replaced the staple and seal. As the end of three years approached Collector Townes wrote Tatum repeat- edly, urging him to prepare to take the liguor from bond, and it was while this correspondence was in progress, on the night of September 5, 1894, that the ware- house, with its contents iwas burned, Meanwhile the suspicion of the revenue department had been excited, and Col- lector Vandervord began an investig tion. The facts above related were dis- covered, and the arrests of John Farmer, Ashbury Hide, William Whitman, Tony Watkins and *John Rowland followed. They have been given hearings before United State Commissioner Hawthorne at Greenville and were held for trial. Some of them have made full confessions. MAY KILL SCHWEINFURTE COUDREY DISCLOSES THAT HE HAS BEEN S0 URGED BY CHURCH PEOPLE. FIGHT OF THE AGED CHICAGO MaN TO RECGVER His FamiLy FRoM THE “HEAVEN.” CHICAGO, March 19.—George Coudrey, the Chicago stencil and die manufacturer, who is suing George Jacob Schweinfurth for $50,000, asserted to-day that he has been urged by many prominent church people, clergymen and laymen to kill the pre- tended christ. Coudrey’s case against Schweinfurth for breaking up the Goudrey familyg was set for trial to-day, but the de- fense again secured a continuance. The persistent delaying of the trial angered the plaintiff, who is an old man, and in a burst of wrath he declared that if he had followed the advice of his friends he would have gone to Schweinfurth’s “Heaven’’ at Rockford and tested the *‘Messigh’s” immortality with cold lead. The old man’s excited declaration created a sensation among his hearers. “‘Some of the most prominent ministers in Chicago,” he said, “have told me that the killing of that man would be a Chris- tian duty. Only the teachings and advice of Dwight L. Moody have prevented my following such counsel. Schweinfurth has broken up my home and tuken my family away from me, and it is becoming only too apparent that I cannot get redress through legal channels.” Coudrey’s wife and five children are now living at the *“Rockiord Heaven,” and have resisted all efforts to secure their re- turn, being unduly influenced, he claims, by Schweinfurth. e B ey Union Pacific Officlals Linger. SALT LAKE, March 19.—President Clark, General Manager Dickinson, Gen- eral Passenger Agent Lomax and other officials of the Union Pacific Railroad ar- rived here from Portland this evening. They will remain here to hear further from ,the Utah Northern and Oregon Short Line receivership. Judge Gilbert has now under advisement the question of jurisdiction, and will hand down his decision at Port- land to-morrow morning. If he decides that the court has jurisdiction in the matter the Union Pacific officials will return to Portland, and the evidence on the petition for a separate receivership will be heard. AL Death of an Editor. NEW YORK, March 19.—Professor Peter R. Vanderweyde died yesterday, aged 82 vears.

FOUND BY A SEARCHER. Divers Sent to Recover the Bodies of the Members of the Crew. WAS THE VESSEL SAFE? Recently a Report Called Attention to Her Very Unseaworthy Condition. CADIZ, March 19.—The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII reports having found the missing cruiser Reina Regente sunk near Rajo Aceitanos, not far from the Straits of Gibraltar. Only twenty inches of the masts were above water. The Alfonso XIII has returned to the scene of the wreck with divers to recover the bodies. The Reina Regente carried a crew of 420 officers and men, and all are believed to have perished. Deputy Diaz Morean, formerly an officer of the Spanish navy, in the Chamber of Deputies March 14, read a statement of the former commander of the Reina Regente in which the writer described the cruiser asa vessel unable to weather a heavy storm owing to the increased weight of her armament. Admiral Beranger said the overweight of the cruiser’s deck guns was rectified two years ago by his orders when he was Minister of Marine. In Cadiz and Cartagena, where most of the crew belonged, there has been great anxiety and excitement from the moment the cruiser was reported missing. The Reina Regente about two years ago went to New York as one of the Spanish squad- ron which escorted across the Atlantic the Columbus caravels. The vessel was launched in 1887, and was one of three second-class deck-protected cruisers of the same build, the sister ships being the Al- fonso XIII and Lepanto, all of 2800 tons, 12,000 horse-power and expected to steam twenty knots. The wrecked cruiser was 320 feet long and had 50 feet 6 inches beam and draught of 20 feet 4 inches. She was pro- pelled by twin scre Her protected deck was 43 inches thick on slopes and her conning tower had 5 inches of armor and her gun shields were 3 inches thick. The armament consisted of four 9l3-inch Hontoria guns, one on each side forward of the central superstructure, one on each side aft; six 43{-inch Hontoria guns in broadside, forward and after pair in spon- sons, middle pair in recessed ports and fif- She teen rapid fire and machine guns. was also fitted with five torpedo tubes. MADRID, March 19.—The posi of the loss of the Spanish cruis Regente, which reached here from Cadiz, caused the greatest commotion throughout Spain. The Queen Regent was greatly distressed. By her orders the sacraments have been exposed night and day from the time the first report of the disaster reached here, and by her direction prayers for the safety of the crew.have been said continu- ously ever since. = Wi THE DAY. Suffrage to Form a Plank in Utah's State Constitution. SALT LAKE, March 19.—Utah’s rep- resentative women had full and undis- puted right of way before the committee on elections and suffrage to-day, beginning at 10:30 o'clock. The delegation num- bered nearly three score. They were pres- ent to give an unqualified indorsement of the memorials submitted to the convention yesterday afternoon asking for the enfran- chisement of the fair sex of this Territory. And they gave that indorsement to the entire satisfaction of the committee, which listened patiently and interestedly to the arguments in favor of its adoption. Ten of the fiftcen members have already given the proposition their indorsement. The other five are of the opinion that the constitution should not contain anything concerning woman suffrage; that it is a question that should be left entirely to the State Legislature. e WOMEN WATCHING RICHARDS CASE. England Will Soon Decide if It Can Interfere. LONDON, March 19.—Sir Edward Grey, in reply to a question of Hugh Luttrell, représenting the Tavistock division of Devonshire, who has asked for informa- tion regarding the case of Mr. Richards, who was sentenced to death for taking part in the rebellion at Hawaii and whose sentence was subsequently commuted to three years and a fine of $10,000, said that as soon as the necessary papers were ro- ceived the Government would decide whether it could interfere. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS IN BRIEF. The safe in the postoffice at Cameron, Ala., ‘was blown open Sunday night and robbed of between $3500 and $4000. The appointment of Prince Lobanoff Rosto- vesky, recently Russian Embassador to Vienna, as Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, to sue- ceed the late L. de Giers, was officially gazetted at St. Petersburg. At a mass-meeting 800 coal-miners in the Pomeroy (Ohio) district resolved to strike against the proposed reduction of a fourth of a cent a bushel. They demand 2 cents. The strike is already in effect. After being out forty-eight hours the jury in the Davis murder trial at Lincoln, Nebr., re- ported that they could not agree, and were dis- charged. They stood seven to five in fayor of acquittal, The case will be set for a new trial at once. The British tank steamer Delaware from New York has arrived in the River Mersey with the crew of the steamer Donau abandoned in mid- ocean. When sighted by the Delaware the Donau had beén on fire thirty-six hours, and the crew had taken to the boats. The Donau sailed from Hamburg March 8 for Philadelphia. Christopher W, Larrabee, nephew of ex-Gov- ernor Larrabee of Iowa and cashier of Boyd, Stockney & Co., wholesale coal-dealers of Chi- cego, is missing, and if all accbunts are true his books do mnot balance by $20,000 or $25,000.

B., the Governor of Trinidad, sent Rear-Admiral Meade & most cor- dial letter thanking him for the service that he had rendered, assuring him that he should re- port it to the British Government, stating that the people of Port of Spain would never forget what the American sailors had done for them, and asking that his personal thanks be given to every man in the force landed. -— Charles Denby Jr. Marvied. EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 19.—Charles J. Denby Jr. and Miss Martha Orr were | married here to-night. Mr. Denby is a son of United States Minister Charles Denby, and is United States secretary of legation at Peking, China. Miss Orr is a society favorite of this city. The couple will go to Peking at once to resids Ll THE COMBINE WAS ILLEGAL. An Important Decision Bearing Upon / Anti-Trust Law. DETROIT, March 19.—Judgé Severns in the United States District Court to-day rendered an important decision bearing upon the Sherman anti-trust law. About ayearago the Merse, Warren, Michigan and National Capsule cowmpanies entered into an agreement to pool interests and carry on the business of manufacturing gelatine chells for capsules under the style of the United States Capsule Company. The Merse Company balked and filed a bill to perpetually restrain the United States Company from doing business, on the ground that it was an enterprise to put up prices and bar competitors out of the busi- ness. The defense was that the new company was not formed to raise prices, but to lessen the cost of production, stop the ruinous competition and yield a better product. Judge Severns takes the position that the trust was formed in violation of the laws of Michigan, as well as the act of Congress. “It became so apparent,” said Judge Severns in connection with his opinion, ‘“‘that the combination was intolerabie unber the Michigan law that it was not necessary to refer to acts of Congress which bear upon this same question.” The case will doubtless undergo a review in the Appellate Court. ONE CLEW TOTHE LYNCHERS OFFICERS ON THE TRACK OF THE BRUTAL SLAYERS OF MRS. HoLton." INFORMATION HaD BEEN GIVEN BY THE UNFORTUNATE WOMAN AGAINST A HORSETHIEF. BUTTE, Nebr., March 19.—The authori- ties think they have struck a clew that may lead to the apprehension of the lynchers of Mrs. Holton. Mrs. Holton was a German woman about 50 years old and fairly well todo. Her husband, Theodore Holton, was sent tofthe hospital for the insane at Norfolk abont eighteen nionths ago. Since that time his wife has lived alone on the ranch, the couple having no children. She looked after a bunch of cattle they owned and managed to prosper as much as when her husband lived with her. They had been in that section many years and were well known to the cattlemen of all descriptions. It is just this acquaintance that un- doubtedly brought about the crime. She was the principal witness against a young fellow named Davis, charged with stealing horses. It is believed that he knows of the crime. His whereabouts is now un- known. This lead the Sheriff is following, and he expects results in the near future. The country in which the crime was committed is far removed from the rail- road and telegraph, and there are no towns near from which information could be readily secured. It is thinly ‘settled, and of such a character that it is not improb- able that this will be only one more added to the list of violent deaths that have oc- curred in that portion of the State which will niever be explained or brought home to any one, though the authorities believe they can locate the criminals. BANDIT ASSASSIN SILVA. | DEATH OF THE MAN OF MANY CRUEL AND WANTON MURDERS, THINKING His. WiFE Hap Bz- TRAYED HiMm HE KiLLED HER AND Was SLAIN HIMSELF. SANTA FE, N. M., March 19.—The body of Vincent Silva, chief of the San Miguel band of robbers and assassins, and that of his wife, Telsfora Sandoval, have been brought into Las Vegas. The officers have been searching the country over for Silva for the last two years, there being rewards for his capture, dead or alive, aggregating $7000. He was the leader of & gang of des- peradoes who terrorized the Southwest for years. It is claimed that no less than twelae men fell at the hands of Silva alone! He presided at the whitecap trial which con- demned to death one of his gang, Patrick Maez, for divulging secrets of the gang, and he supervised the hanging of that in- dividual to a bridge in the town of Las Vegas. It is known that he stabbed to death Gabriel Sandoval. When the officers got on his trail and his capture was but a question of hours, Silva, who was suspicious of his wife, fearing that. she had betrayed him to the officers, killed her and buried the body in the sand near Los Alamos. Boasting of this crime to some of his followers they in turn mur- dered him and buried him in the same grave with his victim. TORTURED BY FIVE ROBBERS. FIENDISH CRUELTY INFLICTED UPON A PENNSYLVANIA FARMER. BoUND To A Boarp HEAD Down- WARD, WH1PPED AND His FEET BURNED WITH COALS. NEWCASTLE, Pa., March 19.—~Word has reached here that five masked robbers entered the house of John McMillan, near Watts Mills, bound and gagged the hired man and three women, and then waited nearly two hours for the return of Me- Millan. When he came he was bound to a board and leaned head downward against the wall, while the robbers threatened him with instant death unless he divulged the hiding place of his money. McMillan had deposited a thousand dol- lars in the bank the day previous. After burning his feet with hot coals and whip- ping him unmercifully the ruffians finaliy believed his story and departed. Mrs. McMillan and daughters, who were compelled to witness the torture of Mc- Millan, are in a very serious condition from fright. = fial From Monaco to Nice. MONTE CARLO, March 19.—In the faintest of breezes to-day the Ailsa, Valky- rie, Corsair and Arabella started in the race, cruising from Monaco to Nice.

IS A SIGNIFICANT EVENT And May Lead to a Speedy Settlement of the War in the Far East. ARRANGING TERMS OF PEACE No Reason to Believe That Either France or Russia Intends to Interfere. SHIMONOSEKI, March 19.—Viceroy Li Hung Chang and suite arrived here this morning to negotiate for peace between China and Japan. Envoys from the Japanese Foreign Office immediately vis- ited the steamer conveying the Chinese Viceroy. TLater Li Hung Chang, accom- panied by John W. Foster, American ad- er for China, visited the Japanese Min- ster of Foreign Affairs. WASHINGTON, March 19.—Li Hung Chang’s arrival in Japan is regarded in official circles as one of the most signifi- cant events of recent days. It is the first time in his life that the venerable states- man of China has set foot outside of Chinese soil. At his advanced age he now journeys to China’s traditional foe to offer ing peace. It can be stated positively and authori- tatively that the general terms of peace are already understood, and all that re- mains is the arranging of details within certain specified limits. The general terms have been brought about by United States Ministers Denby in China and Dun in Tokio. It was even feared at a late date that Li’s mission might fail through the vagueness of his authority to treat for the ceding of territory. This was arranged, however, through the activity of the United States, showing that the mission would otherwise prove futile. The general terms of Li Hung Chang’s authority are to cede territory, pay cash indemnity, grant the independence of Korea and arrange a new treaty relation with Japan by which Japanese extraterritorial jurisdiction in Japan will be gained. The exact amount of the cash indemnity is not fixed, nor is the kind of metal it is to be paid in agreed upon. These and the boundaries of the ceded territories are yet to be arranged. So far as the arrangement has advanced Prince Li’s mission is expected to be consummated within a few days, unless some unexpected hitch occurs. Count Ito, one of the two Japanese envoys, is a close personal friend of Li Hung Chang, the two having settled the Korean trouble in 1885. So great is the Japanese confidence in Li’s ability to see that China carries out an agreement that his promise of a settiement will proba- bly pave the way to a speedy cessation of the war. ‘The reports that Russia will intervene to stop the agreement are known to be mis- leading from positive information received here. The authorities believe that there will be no word of trouble from Russia. The same is believed to be true as to France, although not with the same cer- tainty. NOT YET CONFVERTED. Germany’s Attitude in Reference to Bi- metallism. LONDON, March 19.—A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says that the Imperial Gazette makes the startling statement that the State Council in adopting Hohen- lohe’s declaration on the currency ques- tion omitted the phrase “Without preju- dicing our imperial currency.” The omis- sion, however, is no indication that Ger- many has been converted to bimetallism. The declaration in the currency question that Hohenlohe read in the Reichstag was as follows: “Without prejudicing our imperial cur- rency, one must confess that the differ- ences in the value of gold and silver con- tinue to react on our commercial life. Fol- lowing therefore the tendeéncy that led to the appointment of a silver commission, I am ready to consider in conjunction with the Federal Government whether we cannot enter upon an interchanging of opinion as to common remedial measures with the other States, which are chiefly interested in maintaining the value of silver.” S Colombia’s Eevolution Closed, COLON, Colombia, March 19.—The political prisoners captured at Bocas del Toro, charged with complicity in recent disturbances, have been landed here.

The only permanent remedy is found in 8 reliable blood medicine like Hood’s Barsaparilla, which acts upen the red cor- enormous concessions as a means of secur- | puscles, enriching them and increasing their number. It thus restores the vital fluid to healthy condition, expels all im- purity, cures Nervousness, That Tired Feel- ing, Scrofula and all other diseases arising from or promoted by low stateof the blood.

The officer, with Detective Con- nors, had located Crowe and two compan- ions in a room at 1920 Lawrence street. They wanted the men for several recent | burglaries in this city. The arrest was successfully made and the three prisoners | handcuffed together. On the way to the patrol-box Crowe slipped his cuffs, and drawing a revolver from his belt began firing at the officers. | The fire was returned and it is thought Crowe was slightly injured. Moore was struck in the groin and cannot recover. Crowe is famous throughout the country. One of his crimes was the robbery of a | train at Ottumwa, Iowa. He has escaped from jails at Sioux City, Milwaukee and | Chicago, and is badly wanted at the | first place. He is supposed to be a| member of the famous Evans gang. | e s WILLING TO ACCOMMUDATE HIM. Heirs of a Deceased Millionaire to Hy- phenate Their Names. NEWARK, N. J., March 19.—Provided the name of Clark is permanently hyphen- ated with their own names, John James Wright and his sister, Miss Elizabeth | Montgomery Campbell of 371 Mount Pros- pect avenue, will eaclr receive $125,000 by the will of their granduncle, Jonn Clark, who died in Scotland, April11, 1894. Clark was a relative of the Clarks of thread fame, a distinctively clannish family of Scots, with wealth running well into the millions. The legatees are comparatiyely poor, and | have lived with Robert Cumming, a rela- | tive, since the death of their parents in 1890.
