VOLUME LXXVIIL—NO. 36. SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1895. PRICE FIVE CENTS. TWO BANDITS CAUGHT Officers Run Down the Oregon Express Robbers. TRAILED BY PINKERTONS Part of the Loot Said to Have Been Found at Their Home. QUICK WORK OF DETECTIVES. {nspector Thrall Confident Th‘t the Right Men Have Been Captured. CANYONVILLE, Ogr., July 5.—The rob- f the Oregon Express in Cow Creek he night of July 1 are now be- bars. Deputy Sheriff George two Pinkerton detectives were John Case, alias McDowell, was arrested about nine miles east of Canyonville late last night incarcerated in the Riddles l. . This morning James Poole, the al- Jeged confec te of Case, was captured by Qu in this city. When Poole was told to halt, heresponded that he did not have to. Quine drew his revolver and com- pelled Poole to throw up his hands. He was placed in the jail in this place, and later was taken to Riddles and placed ina cel that occupied by Case. Michael Dean, a farmer living two miles €ast of the scéne of the robbery, identifies the captured robbers as two men who passed nouse on the night of the hold- up.. When Dean was shown the horses of thetwo men he pointed out oneof the rals as that ridden by one of the sup- bbers on the night in question, and y identified the saddle. Quine posé j<itivels has.a part of a seamless sack which had teen . founa at the train, and which was torn in & zigzag manner that left an 1lar notch in & section of the sack. line secured from the person of Casea g torn from a seamless grainbag. éection of string aiso had a notch in exactly.fits the section of the sack nd at the scene of the holdup. Quine claims’ that he and the detectives tracked tiie. robbers direct to the home oi-Pool’s father. iiine and the two Pinkertons have gone to Poole’s home to arrest old man Poole. Thé quartet is well armed and shooting is expected if any show of resistance is offéred by the Pooles. Thereare four other Poole boys Lesides two 10w inder arrest. It is reported this evening that a large part of the loot was found in Poole’s house, in an old pair of overalls. A strange happening in connection with the arrest of the alleged robbers was the surrender of Albert Poole, who early this morning gave himself up to Sheriff Sham- brook. He did not surrender as a train- robber, but as an answer to an indictment that- was booked against him for cattle- stealing. Case c has a bad reputation. James Poole is erate character and has been in the ntiary several times. He was con- victed of cattle stealing in Idaho, and mur- dered a man at Elk Creek, Douglass Coun- ty, but coula not be prosecuted owing to the death of witnesses. There wasa war- rant in the Sheriff’s hands for Poole’s arrest for cattle stealing. It is believed that if Pooleand Case are not directly con- cerned in the robbery they can furnish in- formation to the officers that will lead to a clew to the whereabouts of the culprits. POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED. ZInspector Thrall Says the Right Men Have Been Captured. The following dispatch was sent out as an official communication from the detectives at the scene of the train robbery to Southern Pacific Railway officials at Portland, who in turn forwarded it to Gen- eral Manager Towne: PORULAND, OR., July 5. A. N. Towne: The following has been re- veived from the superintendent of Pinkerton's agency: RIDDLES, July 15. John Case is under arrest. A number of per- sons identify him as being about the locality of 1he holdup before and after. Case has been ar- rested in Portland for robbing Chinamen, and served seven years in Salem prior to that. He states that he was arrested for burglery in As- toria and served five years in Salem. He has been living in the mountains with two men, ‘Andy and Jim Poole, who were wanted by the Bheriff of Roseburg for cattle-stealing. We havealso sent both these men to Roseburg, under arrest. Case strongly protests his innocence, but Wil- liam Quine, & citizen of this place, has been Very active.in the search and insisted on swear- ing to the complaint, which relieves us of any responsibility. Mr. Thrall of the Postoffice De- partment and Mr. Hume of Wells, Fargo & Co. are here and are working with me. A number of the train crew say that they think Cese is the man afier seeing him to-day. I nadalong talk with Case, and am not satisfied he is the mau. We should remain here to run out a number of other matters we heve, 85 we have not found any of the stolen money nor watches, and the investigation is so far incomplete. H. W. MINSTERN. R. KOEHLER. A more posilive statement was received in-this city by the Postoffice authorities, and it, too, went to General Manager Towne of the railway company. The man who sent this dispatch (Mr. Thrall of the nostal service) was very certain that the robber was identified beyond doubts of any kind whatever. The dispatch is as follows: Tom Case, ex-convict, who has been out of prison for about one year, snd livingin the mountains seventeen miles west of here with the.Poole boys, was arrested here to-day by citi- zens and charged -with the recent train rob- bery. He is positively identified by trainmen as the party who went through the passenger-cars. His horse has also veen identified by ranchers. Two of the Poole boys have just been arrested for cattle-stealing. Evidence indicates the guilt of Case and the two Poole boys. They claim an alibi. They may be connected with the Rose- burg and Klamath stage robberies. THRALL. Land Grants Approved. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5—The * ..

C., July 5.—The treasury figures for the next week or so will show a large excess of expenditures over receipts, and treasury experts figure that for the month the balance on the wrong side of the ledger will aggregate from $12,000,000 to $13,000,000. This is caused by the fact that most of the pay- s are made in the first few days. For ance, interest checks for $7,500,000 is- sued during the last days of June, very | few of which have yet been presented for payment, have to be met, and these will be | presented within the next few days. Most of the quarter’s pensions, which will reach $13,000,000, is usually paid out dur- ing the first week or ten daysof the month. These two items alone will aggregate, if by the 15th or20th of the month the treas- ury statement should show expenditures not to exceed receipts,$17,000,000 or $18,000,- 000. This deficit will probably be cut down by the latter part of July to $12,000,- 000 or $13,000,000. ot AN A CHANGES AT A LEGATION. Prince Cantacnuzene, the Russian Minis- ter, Wilt Soon Depart.

BRISTOL, Ixp., July 5.—Whole fami- lies in this hamlet and adjacent territory have been stricken down by yesterday’s fearful bridge disaster, and there is hardly a household that has not one or more maimed or suffering lying in darkened rooms. To-day there has not been nearly enough doctors in Bristol to care for the wounded, though they have come from all the surrounding towns, although of the 600 men, women and children of Bristol there is not an uninjured one who is not attending the sick. Dr. Charles Dutrow’s spine and ankles are cruelly injured and pain has made him delirious. Mrs. Little, whose legs and arms were broken and spine injured, can- not live. There are also others who will probably die. But Bristol is not alone in bearing the burden of a heavy grief. She was hostess for a dozen towns yesterday, and her guests came from Elkhart, Middleburg, Mottville, Three Rivers, Porters, Sailor, Jefferson, ‘Washington, Union and other hamlets of ’Imiiann and Southern Michigan. Many of them were last night carried away in farm wagons, bleeding and suffering from their wounds, and others are being cared for here, being too ill to be moved. The list of injured includes seventy men, women and children. The injured living in Bristol rumber forty-seven and the re- mainder are those from the surrounding towns mentioned.

MONTREAL, Queskc, July 5.—A report has been received that the Blackfoot Indi- ans near Gleichen, Northwest Territory, are in a very ugly mood and threaten to kill all the whites on the reservation. The English missionary has been compelled to flee for his life. This is the reservation on which Frank Skinner, ration distributor, was killed last winter. The trouble has been brewin: since that occurrence, but the cause is harg to ascertain, the reasons the Indians give being very childish and indefinite. OTTAWA, O~r., July 5—Daly, Minister of the Interior, states that there is no truth in the reports of the trouble among the Biackfoot Indians in the Northwest.

A A The Cornell Crew. HENLEY, Exc., July 5.—It is now thought that the members of the Cornell crew will'not be able to recover their form sufficiently to enable them to row over the course as fast by fifteen seconds as they did three days ago. Coach Courtney is making every effort to bring them into condition, but it is doubtful if they will be ’ilxhev;n fair shape when the trhl:ie y 9. | gin on Mm won first prize by a SEATTLE VACHT “REGATT, The Famous Myth Wins in the “Internationai Class A Race. American Boats Carry Away Both Trophles in the Competition With the Canadlans. SEATTLE, Wasg., July 5.—The annual regatta of the Northwestern International Yachting Association was sailed at Seattle yesterday in a good breeze. The Myth of New Whatcom, Wash., won the cham- pionship in the first class and the Hornet of the same place in the second class. This association comprises all yacht clubs of Puget Sound and British Colum- bia waters, and much rivalry exists between the British Columbia and United States yachts. The Myth has held the cham- pionship inthe second class for two years past and yesterday entered the second class under a new rig, with a deep keel instead of the centerboard heretofore used, and won against all the best yachts of that class in the Northwest. The Myth was built by George E. Simp- son of New Whatcom for E. B. Leaming of the same place from designs of Thomas Clapham of New York. Her type is that known in the East as ‘‘bouncers” and her iines closely resemble those cf the famous Clabham Chippewe, with slight modifica- tions designed as improvements and also enlarged. The Myth was launched in the spring of 1893, and auring that season sailed in four open regattas, winning first prize in her class in each race. The first of these races was at Victoria, B. C., where, under the Victoria rules, she was placed in A class and sailed the course in one hour shorter time than any yacht ip any class. The next race was for the Northwestern inter- national championship, and under the rules of that association the Myth was placed in the B class. In this race she not only won the B class international trophy, but again sailed the course in shorter time than any yacht in any class. Her third race was at Victoria, where again she sailed in B elass and easily won first prize. The fourth race of the season of 1893 was at Port Townsend. Wash., where the Myth again sailed in B class, starting fifteen minutes after the A class yachts, and again not only distanced all her compet- itors in B class but passed through the en- tire A class fleet and completed the course ten minutes ahead of any other yacht, and in twenty-five minutes shorter time than anv vacht. In the season of 1894 the Myth competed in but two regattas, the first at Victoria May 24, in which she sailed in A class and Jost through a disabling accident when about two miles in the lead of the entire fleet. This is the only race ever lost by the Myth, and at the time of her accident she was a sure winner. The other race in that season was the annual international regatta, sailed at New Whatcom, Washing- ton, in which she sailed in the B class, and again not only won in her class but beat afi yachts of all classes, making the course in over fifteen minutes shorter time than the Zora, winner of the A class. This race constituted the Myth permanent owner of the B class trophy of the Northwestern International Yachting Association by reason of her successful defense of that trophy for two seasons. This spring the Myth has undergone radical changes, her owner having con- verted ber into a comfortable keel cruiser by the addition of a commodious perma- nent cabin and the removal of her center- board, and putting in its place a keel, giv- ing her, at this time, a draught of 6 feet. Under her new rig she entered the regatta at Victoria May 24 in class A. The race was not compteted within the time limit, owing to light wind, but at its conclusion the Myth was about half an hour ahead of the nex:irncht in the fleet. The same race was resailed May 27 in a stiff blow and the large margin, the course in a shorter 8gain sailing than any yachtin any class. Theofficial times o tzis regattaare not yet received. - ‘While the Myth has always won alike in heavy and light weather, her greatest suc- cesses have been in heavy weather, and the harder it has blown the” more she has distanced her competitors. Her dimen- sions are: Length over all, 40 feet; water line, 29 feet; extreme beam, 11 feet; draught, 6 feet; rating under English rules. MARRIED IN THE PORTICO. Carl Browne and His Bride at the National Capital. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5—Carl Browne, a lieutenant in Coxey’s Common- wealers, reached Washington yesterday morning at 6:30 o’clock, and half an hour later was married to his companion, Ma- mie Coxey, in the portico of the Capitol. ‘There was no blowing of trumpets or beat- ing of drums and the Capitol police, who were supposed to be on guard, were com- pletely outgeneraled. After leaving the Burlington and Quincy railway station Browne threw out a picket in the person of a Commonwealer, who is now employed as a heraic driver, and after following a circuitous route entered the Capitol grounds, when informed that the coast was clear. Browne and his bride proceeded to the Senate wing and there signed a marriage agreement, which had been previously drawn by the ex-lieuten- ant, with the cab-driver as a witness. 'his is the story Browne tells, and which his wife pronounces accurate. The Capitol police, however, are positive that the marriage was not solemnized within the Capitol grounds. The policemen were Ensted at each entrance of the Capitol uilding as early as 4 o’clock, and the captain of the Capitol force was on the steps at that hour with two or three of his men. Colonel Bright, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, was on hand an hour later, and this_force kept watch all day for Browne; but the men say that they saw nothing of the cosmopolite with matri- monial intentions. When Browne was first married at Mas- sillon, Ohio, he expressed his intention to have a minister of the gospel present at the second ceremony and to witness it. A crowd of several hundred people congre- gated about the east front of the Capitol building at noon, awaiting for the prin- cipals to appear. TO TEST THE TURRETS. Experiments That May Be of Great Value to the Navy. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5.—The Navy Department has decided to make a practical test of theturrets now used on our modern naval vessels. The framework of the turret and its machinery will be built by Cramps, and plates manufactured for one of the turrets of the battleship Massachusetts will be fitted to the frame. The test will be made at the naval proving grounds, Indian Head, Md. The Bureau of Ordnance will conduct them. They will begin with a 10-inch gun and work upward until the 13-inch gun, the largest in use in this country, is reached. The value and expense of armor-plates is now pretty well known, and the object of the test is to de- termine what effect a shot will have upon the workings of the turret, its mechanism, etc. The test is regarded as one of the greatest chance, as its results may bring an entire change in the construction of the turrets and machinery used in manipulat- ing them. . ' gl Secretary Sims® Facation. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 5—Gov- ernor Sims, First Secretary of the Interior Department, left Washington last night for a three weeks’ vacation at his home, Columbus, Miss. While away Governor Sims will take a survey of the political field in Mississippi, especially in regard to the Senatorial contest in the election of a successor to Senator George, who volun- tarily retires at the end of his present term. EDITOR SCHMEISER FLEES Off to Chicago to Escape Pay- ing Damages to Miss Geiger. The Breach of Promise Scandal Causes Him to Quarrel With »Hls Wealthy Wife. OMAHA, Nesr., July 5. — Edward Schmeiser, who has been editor of the Daily German Tribune and still hasa posi- tion here with a fixed salary, but who dis- appeared recently, has landed in Chicago after a start for Plattsmouth. He took all his clothing, and his wife doubts that he will return. He is supposed to be seeking employment in Chicago, principally be- cause of the annoyance of the breach of promise suit of Anna Geiger, who recov- ered $2000 from him last month and mar- ried soon afterward in Council Bluffs. Schmeiser came here from Vienna in 1892. In Vienna he had been engzaged to Miss Geiger, but came to America without her knowledge of his intention. He was in the humble business here of peddling insect powders and cockroach traps, but in some way he got acauainted with Mrs. Frank Long, the widow of a wealthy banker, and married her. He then rose to prominence here, bought the Tribune and became a leader in politics. But Miss Geiger followed him across the water, and after working in Chicago dur- ing the World’s Fair, located him hereand last fall came here and sued him for breach of promise, $5000 damages and the return of some money borrowed of her. This suit ruined Schmeiser and he had quarrels with his wife. and had to sell the paper, though he is still connected with it. TS arg i o Naval Appointments. WASHINGTON, D.

ALL THE FAMILY PERISH, Turned on the Gas While in a Room With Wife and Children. NO MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME. It Is Supposed That Frederick Hell= man, Who Did the Deed, Was Insane. CHICAGO, Iir., July 5.—Frederick Hellman, a contractor, -last night mur- dered his wife and four children by asphyxiation, and died with them. The victims of the horrible crime were: Ida Hellman, the wife, 3¢ years old; Fritz Hellman, 12 years; Ida Hellman, 11 years; Willie Hellman, 8. years; Hedwig Hellman, 4 years; Frederick Hellman, 36 years. The place of the tragedy was at.the Hellman cottage, 601 Cornelia street.- The house was small, but it was their own, and the Hellman family was supposed: to. be living happily together. N That the murder . was -deliberately: planned by the father of the family durimg the past few weeks seems’ beyond - doubt. Ever since Hellman built his house it has been supplied with gaspipes, but-there has been no connection. with -the: gas main, and there were no-fixtures in- the house. Several weeks ago Hellman had connection made and fixtures -put.in:the family bedroom only, the. entire family sleeping in one small room. It seems-now certain that Hellman had ‘the gas: put in for the express purpose of ‘using it in: the murder of his family. The gas was turned on after the family, excepting the husband, had gone‘to sleep and none regained- consciousness. - The body of Hellman showed ‘evidence of a struggle. He first shut-the door and win- dows, then -turned on the" gas ‘and ‘lay down to die with his family. There is only one -explanation for the frightful deed and that is-that Hellman was crazy. He is said. to have been fairly well provided with worldly. goods.and to have had no family dissensions.. ' He was naturally of a morose disposition,-but no one thought he would commit suicide or murder. < He left a note .for his brother in which he gives instructions regarding the dispo- sition of his property. He says.that he will not be living when the note is re- ceived, but states in it nothing relating to the premeditated death of the rest of the family. CLOSING DRUGSTORE SALOONS. Des Moines’ Mayor Furnished Good Evi= dence by an Editor. DES MOINES, Towa, July 5.—Mayor Hillis this afternoon visited one-of the most notorious saloon drugstores in the city, and finding men there drinking beer had the place raided. For a long time he has been trying to get these places closed; and officers reported it impossible. To- day he met Editor Clarkson of the Register. on the street. Clarkson offered -to show him one of the places, and they went to<" gether to A. M. Bilby's store.” They walked behind the prescription case and the Mayor went nup to a man who was drinking and took the bottle and glass from him, smelled it, and went out again. The two went to the Register’s office, and thé Mayor ordered the police to atonce raid the place. It was done before any- body in it knew who the recent.callers were.
