WAS IN A GREAT HURRY. So the Obliging Jehu Drove Over Everything in the Way. SPENT AN HOUR IN PRISON But the ured Failed to Appear and 5. Complain and the Bond-Seller Escaped. —The re- | n into the | 3 absence of weeks in Europe was marked by | xciting episode, the banker having seen chascd ata lively pace all the way downtown irom Twelfth street and Fourth enue to Prince street and Bowery, by the fter the cab in which he was into two men, who tum- bled another to the ground. Mr. Morgan started from home early and hired a cab from Nathan's livery stable, at 4 East Twenty-fifth street, and told the driver, Jeremiah O'Donnell of 365 Eighth avenue, to drive him down to his Tice, at the corner of Wail and Broad streets, in a hurry. O’Donnell followed out his instructions to the letter and started down Fourth-avenue at a lively clip. Betweefi Twelith and Thirteenth streets two framers were carrying a large piece of timber across the street. O'Donnell was under orders to hasten, and a little thing like a piece of timber could not stop him. He drove into the men, causing the timber to swing around and knock down a pedestrian, James Labon of 672 Van Courtlandt avenue, who was passing. Mr. Morgan’s cab shot by and turned down Twelfth street to Third avenue, leaving Labon lying on the side- walk unconscious. Several persons who saw the coliision followed the cab calling upon the driver to stop, but he whipped the horse up and went all the faster. In the door of Kearny & Van Tassel’s auction rooms, on Twelfth street, stood Policeman Adams of the Fifth-street sta- tion. He heard tbe cries and started in pursit of the csb, also calling on O’Don- nell to stop. The driver did not reply as he knew Mr, Morgan was in a hurry, and turned down Third avenue at a gallop. The crowd chasing the cab now grew and the race became interesting. The cab flew along and finally struck the Bowery with Policeman Adams still in pursuit, but badly winded. At Houston street Adams dropped into an express-wagon and told the driver to catch the cab. Policeman ‘White also joined in the pursuit, and at Prince street and the Bowery Mr. Mor- | gan’s cab, with O’Donnell still at the whip, was overtaken and the horse’s head grabbed. ¥ Mr. Morgan and his driver were arrested and taken to the Fifth-street station. Mr. Morgan looked angry but took matters coolly. He wasdetained for nearly an hour while the police went in search of the man who had been knocked down. In the meantime Mr. Morgan said nothing except that he knew nothing of the occurrence. ‘The driver pleaded not guilty. They did not tind the man and as there was nobody to make a complaint Mr. Morgan and his faithful Jehu were allowed to proceed to Wall street, which they did with alacrity but with far less speed than before their experience at the station-house. Mr. Morgan arrived at his office at 11 o'clock, an hour later, and as he entered .his face wore an amused expression which might be taken as an ‘indication that he rather enjoyed his race down the Bowery, He declined to discuss the incident, how- ever. Mr. Morgan’'s arrival was expected and a number of persons, among them August Belmont and Alexander E. Orr, called to see him. Mr. Morgan arrived last night on the ‘White Star steamship Germanic, but could not consent to speak of his sojourn abroad, or upon financial matters until this after. noon, when he issued the following state- nt : {r.

He did not have iime to look into the situation here, but is satisfied that a reorganization of the Northern Pacific and Erie will be undertaken without material delay.” This statement, brief and to the point, was eagerly read in Wall street, as for months Mr. Morgan’s transactions abroad have been of the keenest interest to opera- tors, speculators and buyers of securities. It has been known ihat he has done much to strengthen the tone of American sure- ties, particularly in England, and that he has accomplished several important under- takings, in addition to the completing of details in connection with the sale abroad of one-half of the recent $65,000,000 issue of 4 per cent thirty-year Government bonds, It was, this contract Mr. Morgan, in connection with August Belmont, made with the Government to sell 3,500,000 ounces of gold for $65,000,000 in bonds that, mede Mr. Morgan so famous in the financial world. He had previously en- joyed a great reputation as a reorganizer of large corporations and as a financier, but the bond contract placed him at the head of the financiers of this country. Many well-known financiers declare that the sale of many of these bonds abroad was the direct cause of the return of con- fidence and the revival of prosperity and business. Mr. Morgan plunged into business immediately on his arrival at his office and sew many men who, are identified with various railroads and other enter- prises during the da; FIRED BY LIGHTNING.

Now Come Ciaimants Who Check the Distribution of the Rich Property.. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 21.—The fight, over the estate of A.J. Davis, the mil- lionaire, which has been going on in the courts of Montana for several vears and was supposed to have been settled be- tween the heirs, is to be renewed in the Supreme Court of this county in & suit has just been begun in the name of Erwin Davis, a brother of Andrew J. Davis. The object of the suit is to enjoin Henry A. Davis, Andrew J. Davis Jr., Ellen S. Cornue and her husband, Joshua G. Cornue, and other relatives from dividing or distributing the- estate or participating in it without recognizing the rights of Erwin Davis and Calvin P. Davis, Harriet Wood, Elizabeth S. Bowdoin and Diana Davis as secured under certain con- tracts and agreements, and from receiving any part of the estate or the proceeds until the rights of these parties have been de- termined and they shall have received | the portion of the estate to which they are entitled under the agreements. Upon the application of Lawyer Logan, Judge Patterson in Supreme Court cham- bers has granted an order for the service of the summons in the action upon a number of the relatives by publication.

There Has Been a Mild Winter Up There and All Is Favorable to Peary. | PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 21.—That the past winter in Greenland was unusu- ally mild and that egerything favored Lieutenant Peary’s expadition to the far north was the news brought to this city yesterday by the barks Silion and Salina, the first of the fieet of the cryolite traders to arrive from Ivigtut. Although Esquimaux were seen who had journeyed well up in the vicinity of Me- Cormicks Eov, none had seen or heard of Peary or any other white man. It is said that in midwinter Greenland was not choked with ice, while the brilliancy of the aurdra made the long winter nights almost like day. Despite the pleasant weather experienced in Greenland the cryolite traders suffered intensely with the cold during the home- ward voyage. The first news of the total loss of the Danish bark Ice Bear, of Copenhagen, trom Greenland, was also brought by the arriving vessels. Whiic near Cape Deso- olation, south coast of Greenland, an ice- berg suddenly came down and crushed her to pieces. For weeks the crew lived with the Esquimaux until they reached a Dan- ish setilement, from where they were taken back to Denmark on the Government steamer Thetis. All the fleet was safe when the Silion sailed, on May 25. UNDER THE DEATH-WATCH. Buchanan,the Wife-Poisoner, Soon to Be Electrocuted. SING SING, N. Y., June 21.—The death watch has been re-established over Dr. tobert W. Buchanan, the condemned wife- poisoner, whose second resentence is to be expiated in the electricai chairin Sing Sing Prison and is set down for Monday, July 1. Buchanan displaps signs of uneasiness and anxiety over the reluctance of his counsel to take action to secure a further delay. With only eleven more days to live, he realizes that the time for action on the past of his counsel is short. S Cowboys Fight Indians. WICHITA, Ksxs., June 21.—There was & fight between cowboys and Cheyenne Indian cattle-thieves on the North Cana- dian River in the neighborhood of Hen- nessey yesterday, in which one of the braves was wounded by a cowboy. The Indians at the Cantonment Reservation swear vengeance. A raid upon the ranch to which the cowboys belong is hourly ex- pected. Al R Clevetand Catches Trout.

EXILED FOR MIANNESS. | After Stabbing Baron Roths- child’s Gamekesper He Failed to Settlo. GAINED UNENVIABLE TITLES. In Old Age the Once Prosperous Farmer Became Diseased and Despised. NEW YOR caught poaching on the forest pre Baron Rothschild, near Froschausen, which is not far from Frankfort-on-the- Main, in Hesse-Darmstadt, (Germany. The head forester, whose name is Schlange, came upon him oneday just as he was knifing a deer ne had shot. The peasant sprang upon the keeper and plunged his knife into him. That peasant committed suicide last night, in a miserable room under the slant of the roof of 118 Second street. His name was Adam Buser, he was 63 years old and has a large family of married sons and daughters in Gerinany. The case was re- ported as *‘just a bum suicide,” meaning it was the end of a wretched person and contained no “story.”” Butz countryman of “der alter Adam,” as the dead man was called in the neighborhood, gave the particulars of his friend’s life, already mentioned, besides others, showing the man to have been 2 type of the German peasant. Adam Buser divided with his brother the inheritance of a fat farm and its accumulated products of generations of cultivation. Adam was the oldest son and got the larger part, so that he was heir by general consent to the title ‘‘Froschbauer,” composed by the other peasants out of the first syllable of the name of thevplace, Froschausen, and the word for peasant, Bauer. He was not popular, however; he was ignorant, shrewd,’ purseproud and quarrelsome. Even when he married he did not settle down. He loved sport and preferred to poach, though he could have got permis- sion to hunt in the neighboring forests or to pay for his pleasure. The knowledge that Schlange, the baron’s head forester, was hunting him while he hunted the rich city man’s game increased Adam’s delight in the chase. He boasted over the beer board that he would shoot Schlange if the forester caught him and would then buy the family off. The villagers applauded the promise of a fight, but they despised the braggart and his money and gave him another title, ‘“‘Protzbauer,” or purse-proud peasant. ‘When the meeting did occur in the woods and Schlange was stabbed, not shot, Buser did offer to settle. He made two offers, with assurance in the power of money, his friend here said, and he was pretty nearly right. Schlange, who recovered from his wound, listened to the overtures, but he asked so much that another weakness of Froschbauer came into play. Adam offered 2000 marks, Schlange wanted 5000 marks. Then the peasant raised the bid to 3000 marks and the forester came down to 4000. There they stuck. The “Protzbauer” won another title by his_obstinate meanness, His neighbors called him the ‘“Trotzbauer,” the stubborn peasant. The Protz-Trotz-Froschbauer had to run away. He made arrangements with his family to send him means, and hurried away to America. Here he lived on the East Side, leading an idle life and develop- 1ng his original bad temper, and sustaining the reputation he brought from Frosch- ausen. He made a few acquaintances among peasants from his part of the coun- try, but they could not become his friends because of his disposition to ferret. So he drank beer in silence and gloom till age and weakness laid him open to disease. He was ill with many complaints, but he had brought with him his old prejudice against doctors, and refused to go to the hospital. Among his papers was a greasy order from Dr. Einhorn for his reception at the German Hospital. He had never used it. Moreover, he had complained that re- mittances from home had not come regu- larly of late. So in this year, when his time was out, his liability for the crime of stabbing the forester outlawed, he killed himself. He was seen last night.- This morning he was found hanging by a strap to a clothes hook in his dirty, dark and miserable room, and the neighbors told one another that the Froschbauer was dead. A MURDER AND. SUICIDE Station Agent Krooz Kills His Father-in-Law and Himself. He Had Been Discharged and His Successor Arrived Soon After the Shooting. PHILMONT, N. Y., June 21.—A singular case of murder and suicide occurred at 10:15 o’clock this afternoon in which Harry Krooz and George Jacobi are the victims. Krooz was the agent for the Harlem road here, having filled the position for the past twenty-three years, Jacobi was his father in-law and acted as the assistant agent. Krooz killed Jacobi by shooting him twice in the back of the head and then killed himself by firing u bullet into his own head. The shooting occurred only a few moments before a passenger train was due. When thé train arrived the con- ductor and trainmen found the men dead, having died instantly. Krooz had been dischgrged and the relief agent was on the train that arrived shortiy after the tragedy occurred to relieve bim. It is said there is no shortage in the sccounts, but that Krooz had become carcless in doing busi- ness. i SR Raided a Ciiinese Residence.

LOS ANGELES, CaL., June 21.—The police are looking for three white men from San Francisco who attempted to abduct Good Gow, a Chinese woman, from Chinatown last night. One man showed a bogus marriage license, which he told her was a puper to take her north. She refused and he slapped her. A warrant has been issued for attempted abduction and battery. One of them is said to bea San Francisco lawyer, WAY MEDLIY WAS SHT, Taber’s Wife on the Stand Tells the Story of the Killing. All the Testimony In and the Case Wil Probably Go to the Jury To-Day. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., June 21.— The trial of Will L. Taber, for killing James P. Medlin, was resumed this morn- ing by the calling of H. C. Rolff Jr., who went, the morning after the killing, to the spot and measured the distance to Med- lin’s cottage, which was 245 steps. Tom Holt was recalled to testify that he told Doyle to take the shells out of the guns when Taber and Medlin were there, as Taber was a bad man with a gun. Doyle took the shells out of the Winches- ter and hid the shotgun under the bed. Harry Reeves testified that Taber com- plained of bis wife and Medlin being too much together and to the fact that Taber while in jail said to him: *Medlin bled to death; I bad to kill him.” Mrs. Hopper testified she was often at Medlin’s home, and saw drawings on the wall done by Mrs. Taber. Medlin told He knew it was wrong, but he couldn’t help it, Wit- ness told her husband there would be trouble there some day. Nat Armon testified to talking with Medlin, when the latter admitted his love for Taber’s wife. Harry Hopper, a boy of 15, was with Medlin the night he died. Medlin said to him: “Don’t let them arrest Will for I deserve all this I got.” Mrs. Taber, the wife of accused, was the next witness. The crowded courtroom leaned forward to listen as she told her story in a very voluble manner, not allow- ing the question to be more than half asked when she would'answer, and talked in spite of interruptions. She said she had been married for years. They lived on a homestead upon Cajon Pass three years. Medlin frequently visited the house. Once when sick three or four days she and her husband cared for him. Finally Medlin's conduct to her was such that she was afraid of him, and when he came would not stay in the house, but go to a neighbor’s. The day of the killing—March 10—she and her husband went to Medlin’s and she cooked dinner for them at Joseph Cormont’s. The latter brought a gallon of wine with him, and the four drank the gal- lon before and after dinner. Medlin was trying to quarrel with Will all day about different affairs. She was sick from the wine, and with Will sat down to rest, when Medlin called back to Will and he went to Medlin, she following. Medlin struck twice. She got between them and told her husband not to hit Med- lin. Will went on ahead and called to her to follow, but Medlin took her by the arm and said she should not go. She said, “‘Let .me go.”’ Medlin answered, “I will not.” They were near Medlin’s cabin, Will ran in, got his gun and said: ‘‘Let her go and scatter out.” She jerked away from Medlin, who started for Will. She called out, “Don’t let him get the gun, Will,"” and Will ran buck a little way, but Medlin followed, and ‘Will tired and Medlin fell. As she and Will assisted Medlin to his feet, Will said, “I'm sorry, Medlin, but I had to do it.”” Medlin replied, “Say no more about it, ‘Will, I deserve it all.” The morning after the killing witness was hailed by the officers and told to get in their carriage or they would arrest her. Her brother-in- law, Harry Taber, came along with a car- riage and said he would bring her in, but the officers said one would have to go with them, or arrest both, and she got in with the officers and came to town. On the way in the{)tried to make her tell about the {(ming; ut she had not slept or eaten since the shooting, and was nb%ut crazy and did not know what she said. After three or four unimportant witness- es had testified the case was closed and counsel ordered to have instructions read, by 9 o'clock to-morrow. The case will probably go to the jury to-morrow after- noon. ANGRY IADERA RANCHERS, Roused to the Lynching Point by a Case of Extreme Crueity. A Heartless Father Drives His Five-Year-Old Daughter Insane. FRESNO, CAL., June 21.—News comes from the mountainsof Maders County that Victor Adams, a rancher, narrowly es- caped lynching at the hands of his neighbors on account of cruelty to his five- year-old daughter. He left her and & small dog to take care of a few sheep and she et the sheep wander off. Adams beat the dog to death and drove the child from the house, telling ber if she came back without the sheep he would kill her. After sev- eral hours she came back begging for something to eat. He refused itand chased her away with a gun. She was gone all mght, and next evening was discovered ten miles away. She had become insane. The neighbors assembled to lyneh Adams, but he pleaded so hard that they let him live. The child was taken from him, VIRTUALLY A VICTORY Silver Men Not Beaten’ in the Republican League. ! -~ { NO PREFERENCE I S MADE. Struggle for the Rival Metals | Left to the National | Convention. DOWLIRG ELECTFD SECRETARY. Champions of the West's Inter- ests Did Not Labor in Vain. i CLEVELAND, Onro, June 21.—There was nothing exciting about the lasi hours of the eighth annual convention of the National League of Republican Clubs. The - resolutions which have been public property for. some time were adopted without = preface by their introducer or pariey on the part of those for whose consideration they were intro- duced. "No rolleall was had on their adop- tion, and a lusty chorus of “ayes’ against one or two lonesome ‘‘noes” showed that it was the almost unanimous sense of the convention that it had no power to pro- claim its preference for gold or silver be- fore the official tribunal of the party to be held in 1896. - The silver men are-satisfied with the out- come and decided ' before to-day’s session began to make no outcry. They were heard and fully heard in committee, and assert that the result shows a sentiment in favor of bimetallism that will spread to the National convention next year. There was no discordant vote in the big gathering which dissolved at noon' to-day, Many sacrifices were made for harmony’s sake, and it appeared to be the wish of the body that it go on record before the world as united on all points at issue, whatever differences might exist beneath the surface. As no platform was adopted expressing an opin- ion on the great questions of the day, the drift of sentiment could only be gathered from the speakers. With the exception of the 16-to-1 men, these were very cautious in expressing a decided preference on the | currency question. None of the Presidential candidates came to the convention. McKinley arrived to-night after everything was over. He was met at the depot by the leading Re- publican clubs of the city and enthusias- tically welcomed. Most of the delegates had returned to their homes, but those who remained were introduced, shook hands and chatted a while with the | famous Ohiosn, who held open house in | the corridors of the Hollenden Hotel. | Chauncey M. Depew was expected up to | the last moment, but he excused himself | on the ground of other engagements. Thomas B. Reed was invited, but declined, and Senator Allison did the same. Maine was one of the three States not officially represented at ‘the convention, and the enemies of Mr. Reed are poiniing to this fact with much glee. An excursion on the lake this evening ended the festivities pro- vided by the local committee for the dele- gates. To-morrow the newspaper men will be entertained. When the convention was called to order at 11 o’clock this morning President Mc- Alpin announced that the election of a sec- retary was in order, and called for addi- tional nominees. This aroused the silver men, who claimed nominations closed last night. General McAlpin, however, had the States called again and the name of M. J. Dowling was presented by Minnesota and seconded by other States. Numerous speeches were made secconding the nomi- | nations for secretary made before adjourn- ment last night. Dowling’s nomination added to the .the wrath of silver men, and as it has been pretty well understood that J. F. Burns of | Denver, a free-coinage advocate, was to have the secretaryship the anti-silver men were charged with bad faith. It was held that they had agreed to Dowling’s nomi- nation. P. F. Powers of Michigan added to the bad feeling by offering a resolution to have the secretaryship question referred to the executive committee. Mr. Powers insisted that a man of better qualifications could be selected in the deliberations of the execu- tive board than in the contests in this con- vention on other grounds than the special qualifications of the man for the place. E. E. Churchill of Colorado denounced the resolution as one intended to defeat J. F. Burns of his State and appealed to the convention if Mr. Burns was defeated not to do it in that way. General Carr of Illinois, who championed Mr. Eden of his State for secretary, held that those who had made canvasses for this office were not being fairly treated by reopening nominations to-day, and again by this resolution to refer the matter to the executive committee. Numerous points of order were raised on the constitutionality of the resolution. Alil were overruled by Chairman McAlpin, who finally refused to recognize any one till order was restored. Mr. Powers finally withdrew his resolu- tion so that business could proceed. Roll- call on election of secretary was then be- gun, and Dowling was elected. The vote was made unanimous on motion of General Goff of Illinois. \ ; Mr. Dowling is a member of the Minne- sota delegation and one of the most active Republican workers of that State. He is a country editor, but his official position at present is chief clerk of the Minnesota House of Representatives, which place he had filled so: well that he has been twice chosen for the position. He has been active in campaign work in the State, and is in a large measure responsi- ble for the organization of the party in Min- nesota. For the past four campaigns he has been employed by the State Central Committee as' organizer of the party throughout the State, and has had large experience in executive work of this kind. The committee on resolutions then re- ported, Senator Thurston having suc- ceeded General McAlpin in the chair. There was not even a show of fight over the resolutions, Nobody raised his voice against them. When Senator Thurston put the motion on the passage of the reso- lutions a lcud cherus of ‘‘ayes’ arose. Ounly three or four feeble ‘noes” were heard when the other side of the question was put. The tesolutions in full are as follows: WHEREAS, Section 13 of the constitution of the Republican League ‘of thie United States states that this lesgue shall not in any manner ! endeavor to influence - the mction of any Na- tional, State, county or municipal convention, P ’ we, the delegates of the¢ Repu! | | instructions | Kelly of Minnesota and Eden of | of thanks were also tendered the cit | canvassed on the silver question and the | © “How will the Republican party be af- | “It will be indorsed,” replied Colonel an League of the United Statesin convention assembled, do hereby renew our alleginnce to the principles of the Republican party and pledge our best eflort for the didates of that Belie ss of the ca party.

CLEVELAND, Osio, June 21.—The Western delecates are all going home to- aivht or else will go .in the morning. Colonel Isaac Trumbo of Utah left the city to-night. Senators Uarter and Dubois were still in the city at 10 o’ciock and paid their respects to Governor 'McKinley in the’ Hollenden, but they are on the eve of de- parture. These and other Westerners have in- spired their Republican brethren from the East with profound respect for them as politicians and at the same time have won many friends by their friendly and manl treatment of the subject they had most a heart. In the convention this morning Colonel Trumbo and his associates from the West, who made the successful fight for the same treatment for the silver ques tion as for other issues, were congratulated again and again even by their mono- metalliic adversaries on what they had accomplished. Before leaying the city Colonel Trumbo said: ‘‘We had the gold men beaten, and their only hope was to hide behind the article of the league constitation providing that the league shall not engage in the business of making , platforms. It strange that this constitutional provision was never brought up in a league convention before; the league has invariably adopted a platform at its annual conventions, The gold men know that if a declaration was made on the money question it would be for bimetallism, the silver men would have allowed no other. The prospects for a sil- ver plank in 1896 in the Republican platform were never better than they are to-day. Many of the Pennsylvania dele tion would have voted for a silver resolu- tion if the issue had been made. There is not a delegation in the convention that has not silver in it. The report of the resolu- tion committee is nearly as satisfactory to the silver men as if there had been a declar- ation for free silver. The convention was Delegates silver sentiment was very strong.” fected if at the party convention next year free coinage is not indorsed ?”” was asked. Trumbo emphatieally. “The platform of the next convention will be protection, reciprocity and free silver.” In the course of a long interview, which will appear in the morning, Senator Carter said: “The Republican party has now and has at all times in the past found its most sub- stantial and unfailing support in the West- ern States. From the country west of the Missouri River it will be observed that there exjsts an unbroken line of Republi- can rey)rescutnti\'es in the Senate and House of Representatives. Without the States referred to the Republican party need not hope to crystallize into law any of its policies or purposes within this or the next generation.” ON THE DIAMOND. Some Rattling Games Played by the Eastern Cracks. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 21.—To-day’s game was played in a drizzling rain from the third inning.
