2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1895. MANGLED BY A FIEND. Mrs. Alice Columbo the Victim of Terrible Cruelty. HER HUSBAND'S ANGER. Maddened by Liquor and a Warrant He Beat His Wife With a Rifle. FLESH BATTERED INTO A PULP. Blunders of a Constable, Who Was Afraid of the Gun, Preceded the Assault. Coxx., July 18.—Mrs. Columbo lies in the hospital to-night in an unconscious condition and her at- tending ph; ns say that she cannot survive the n Her husband 1s locked up in the New Haven County Jail await- | ing the result of her injuries, which, in the ante-mortem statement, she says he in- flicted upon her. Mr. and Mrs. Columbo are French-Cana- dians, 23 and 30 years of age respectively, and tremoved from Holyoke, Mass., to Botany, Mass., a sparsely settled hamlet about ten miles north of this city, several months ago. Columbo was em Dennis Doolittle as a general farm and, with his wife, and child 3 years of age, Jived with a family named Malachi near by aborer, the Doolittles. Sunday Columbo went on a spree and maltreated his wife till Tues- day evening, when she swore out a warrant | for his arrest. The warrant was placed in the hands of Constable Marcus Young to serve. With two assistants he went to Columbo’s house in the evening. The latter was found crazy drunk, and at the sight of the officer seized a rifle, with which he threatened to kill him. Constable Young advanced on | Columbo with a revolver and demanded his surrender. Young snapped his re- volver at Columbo twice, but the weapon failed to explode and he left the house, fearing a shot from Columbo’s rifle. No sooner did the Constable leave the | house than Columbo seized his wife by the | hair by one hand, and, dragging her into a rear room, smote heron the head with the rifle, which he used as a club, weilding it with both hands. Mrs. Columbo sank an- | conscious to the floor at the first blow, and then her husband in fiendish fury beat her body to a The stock of the rifle was spattered with blood and the barrel bent | double before he ceased his murderous as- sault. » Then taking the body by the feet he | aragged it to an upper room, and, throw- | ing it upon a bed, lay down beside it and fell asleep. Constable Young returned an | hour later and fo him there. He was| overpowered and putinirons. It wasthen discovered that his wife was not dead, and | & physician was summoned. An exami- nation showed that both of the arms and | legs of the woman were broken, as well as | all of the fingers on one hand. From mel calf of one leg a huge piece of flesh had | been gouged out, and the scalp had-been from one side of the head. terday was taken to the | on a mattress spread in the hospit: g a grocery wagon. She has been bottom of unconscious since the assault, except for a few moments, when her statement was taken. PUNISHED A BURLY BRUTE Citizens of West Phalia Hang Up and Beat a Cruel Husband. Next Will Come Arrests by Whole- sale and a Sult to Secure a Divorce. PORTLAND, Mich., July 18.—The citi- zens of West Phalia, Clinton County, took the law into their own hands to-night and | meted out quick justice to John Rada- masher. For a month or two Mrs. Rada- masher’s neighbors have told their hus- bands about the brutal way in which Radamasher used his wife. Public indig- nation was aroused because Radamasher is a strong man while his wife is a small woman, and previous to her marriage only a short time ago was one of the brightest girls in the village. Radamasher was more than well-to-do, and for a time the citizens did nothing ex- cept agree that Radamasher was a brute. Yesterday afternoon he gave his wife another beating and choked her almost to insensibility. The neighbors heard of it and decided that the time had come for action. - Last night fifteen men, masked and armed, laid in ambush for Radamasher and he walked into it. They surrounded him, put a rope around his neck and dragged him into the woods. Then they removed his clothing, gagged him and flogged him with horsewhips until he cried for merey, but he didn’t get it. After they were tired of flogging him they strung him up to a tree, then let him down, revived him and hung him again. They didn’t intend to kill him, but they came very near doing it. Mrs. Rada. masher to-day instructed her lawyer to bring action for divorce, and Radamasher’s brother went to St. Johns to hire a lawyer to get out warrants for the men who flogzed Radamasher last night. Whole- sale arrests are promised, and Radamasher says he will revenge his brutal treatment. All the parties are well-to-do farmers. S @ THREE NEGROES HANGED. But They Had Been Legally Tried and Convicted of Murder. LIVE OAK, Fra., July 18.—Henry Brown, colored, was hanged here yester- day for the murder of Ed Pyberg, a white man. The murder was for the purpose of robbery. Two other * negroes, George Mitchell and Mike Stevens, were tried and convicted with Brown, but were respited by the Governor. There is talk of lynch- ing Mitchell and Stevens if the sentence be not soon carried into effect. GREENSBURG, Pa., July 18.—William Freeman and John Good, colored, were banged this morning. Freeman shot his mistress, Gertrude Smith, at Simpson House, Mount Pleasant, fast July in a quarrel over money matters.

Greenhut in the management of the old whisky trust, will be president of the new com- pany. The headquarters of the new com- pany will be in Chicago after August 14.

The capital stock of the new company is $35,000,000, of which $7,000,000 1s preferred stock and $28,000,000 common, ST FIRST “BLOOMER” DANCE. Bicyclists Arranged Their Ball With Great Care. CHICAGO, Itr., July 18.—The crowd which stood some fifty feet deep out- side the Jackson Park pavilion last night looked at the dancersand guessed which was which. The children lay flat on the pavement and peeked under the gartly drawn shutters as though it were a circus. Comments were numerous, but the dancérs did not heed. It was the first “bloomer’” dance on record. Four hundred cyclistsattended it. Five thousand people looked at the spec- tacle and then took long strolls along the lake shore before they could recover their thoughts. The girl in bloomers enjoyed herself through itall. She danced as fu- riously as she rides her wheel, and she was not the least bit embarrassed when she was mistaken fora man. The bloomer dance held last night was the result of four weeks’ work. An enthusiastic cyelist conceived the idea and confided it to some friends. “The girls will wear bloomers on their wheels,” they said to one another, “but they would not go to a dance in them.” “Just you wait and see,” said the man with the idea. There were baggy bloomers, brown bloomers, close-cut bloomers and gray bloome: In fact, the girl in conven- CONTROL OF LEPERS, Dr. Wyman Thinks the Government Has the Right. NO VALLEJO HOSPITAL. But the Surgeon-General Says Such an Institution Is Needed. STATE RIGHTS NOT USURPED. Plans by Which the Disease May Be Properly Treated and Patlents Cared For. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 18.—Dr. Wyman, supervising surgeon-general of the United States Marine Hospital Ser- | vice, when asked by THE CALL correspon- dent whether the National Government tional skirts who went to the dance did | contemplated the erection of a leper hos- not enjoy herself while the music was | pital at Vallejo, replied: playing or when it was quiet. She was unsought as a partner and she could not sit on the edge of a table nearly so jauntily as the girl in blodmers did. The dance was limited to cyclers. “Bloomers beat dresses all to pieces,” “The Government has no such inten- tion.” “If such an undertaking was contem- plated, would you not be aware of it?” “Certainly,” said Dr. Wyman. “All of said one of the men who had danced. | such matters come within my jurisdiction “They don’t interfere with the fun, you can’t step on them nor tear them, and you don't have to get a carriage to take the girl home. Bloomers are all right.” ‘SEVERE EASTERN STORMS Great Destruction to Crops and Property in Several States. Lightning and Cyclones Took a Part in Various Afflicted Districts. ST. PAUL, Mixw., July 18.—The storm which struck this section at 1 o’clock this morning was the severest in several years. The fall of rain in St. Paul and Minneapo- lis was over two inches. The destruction was great along the river, between St. Paul and La Crosse, the washouts on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Faul being so serious that trains could not run on that road. Severalof the line’safternoon trains, including the fast mail, were brought in many hourslate over the Burlington tracks. ightning struck the Hotel Lafayette at innetonka Beach, but did no special damage. Joseph Polz, who resided in Blomming Prairie Township, Steele Coun- ty, was struck by lightning and instantly killed. A cyclone struck and wrecked William Hollenbeck’s house in White River, S. D. | It would bave kiiled or seriously injured himself and family had they not taken refuge in a cyclone cave. A large log ly- ing on the floor of the house with a lan- | tern beside it was carried many rods away while the lantern was not even moved. In some localities much hail fell, doing some damage to crops. Reports from Western Wisconsin points indicate that grain, which was just ripen- ing, was badly damaged. ALMA, Wis,, July 18.—The most de- structive electric storm in years passea over this county to-day. The crops are damaged from 25 to 50 per cent, causing a loss of many thousands of dollars. All the grain is beaten down flat, and much hay and corn was destroyed. Lightding struck in various places during the storm, doing serious damage. PEKIN, Irn., July 18.—At 5:15 this after- noon a cyclone struck the Marks block, containing five stories, unroofing the build- ing and dashing the timber into the houses on the opposite side of the street. A heavy rain flooded the building. The postoffice, telegraph and express offices are among those damaged. DULUTH, Miyx.,, July 18.—A heavy storm has been raging on the lake all day, and many boats are tied up here. The steamer Liberty refused to remain in dock, and must have been caught in the storm. Bhe is on her way to Ashland. PEORIA, Irn., July 18. — Peoria was visited by another rainstorm early this evening, but it was light as compared with the flood of Wednesday morning. railroad tracks have not all been repaired since Wednesday’s storm, and this rain adds to the damage done them. B e IN THE SECOND DEGREE. John Collins Convicted of Murdering Fred P. Ohl. TRENTON, N. J., July 18.—The jury in the case of John Collins, accused of mur- dering Fred P. Ohl, camein at11:450'clock to-night with a verdict of murder in the second degree. The case was given to the jury at 4:40 this afternoon. Justice Gum- mer addressed the jury briefly, and said if Collins’ story was believed they should acquit him. The defendant’s story shouid, however, be taken with a good deal of cau- tion. It was contradicted materially b; several witnesses. If the jury believe that Collins did use the words attributed to him, inviting the students into the hall- way with the intention of shooting if they attacked him, then it was murder in the first degree, no matter how vicious might have been the assault which he courted. Sy St. Lowis Is Wide Awake. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 18.—Replies re- ceived from seventeen members of the Republican National Committee show them favorable to St. Louis as a place for holding the next National convention of the party. Three objected to this city and four were non-committal. The committee is in correspondence with other members of the National Committee. The principal obf'ection to St. Louis is the intense heat believed to prevail here in June. There is a movement on foot to postpone the con- vention until September. If this succeeds it is more than probable that St. Louis will be the convention city. i After the Gas Trust. CHICAGO, Irv., July 18.—Attorney- General Moloney intends going to Phila- delphia next week to take depositions con- cerning the connection of the Fidelity Company of that city with the companies comprising the Chicago Gas trust. Judge Windes of the Circuit Court, before whom the litigation is pending, will authorize a commission to take testimony. Trans-Missouri Lines. CHICAGO, IrL., July 18.—A meeting of the trans-Missouri lines has been decided upon for the eulgdplrt of next week to form the long-talked-of 'pnasn T associa- tion. Indications are favorable for the formation of the new association without further opposition from any of the ‘Western lines. The | meet the expenses of this commission. and under my supervision. There is no appropriation available for such a purpose. Therefore no hospital could be built nor any site purchased without action by Con- gress. Besides, I did not know there was such a town as Vallejo. Where is Vallejo?”’ Upon being informed the doctor con- tinued: “I subpose the Vallejo people are | considerably alarmed over this rumor, but | you can assure them that there is no foun- dation for it.”” Dr. Wyman some time ago read an ad- dress before the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, held at Wash- ington, in which he expressed the opinion that leprosy should be under National con- trol. “There is a difference of opinion among eminent men,” says Dr. Wyman, “based upon their different views regarding the constitution of the United States, as to whether the right of National control ex- ists, but I think it does exist, and there is the outline of a bill which Ithink Congress might pass: ‘An act appropriating a suf- ficient sum to establish a National leper hospital, and authorizing a National officer in charge thereof to receive or to proceed and take possession of leprosy patients upon consent of the proper authority of the State.” “There should be a corresponding act passed by the Legislature of the State con- ferring power upon sogpe official, prefer- ably the Governor, with the advice of the State Board of Health, to respond to such requisition. It should be made the duty of the Government officer in charge of the institution, upon hearing of the presence of a leprosy patient, to request such authorities of the State as have been designated for that purpose by the Legis- lature to turn over such patient to said officer for the purpose of being transferred to said hospital; and a Congressional act should also provide that the officer in charge of the institution should make such regulations for the treatment and confine- ment of patients as the nature of the cases demands. “It will be observed that an act of this nature would still practically leave the de- termination of the disposition of patients within the State to the State itself, and leave to the discretion of the Governor and the State Board of Health whether in a given instance the leper should be sepa- rated. The necessity for this discretion is evident from the fact that special circum- | stances might so surround a patient as to make it cruel or unnecessary to remove him. Atthe same time it would provide for a proper confinement of those who are not surrounded by such circumstances. It is suggested that a leprosy commission should be appointed of three or five mem- bers to make a report upon the prevalence of leprosy in the United States and the necessity and proper method of its control. “A prelimirary bill might be introduced empowering the President to appoint such a commission, and, as the success of the bill would be enhanced if it called for no additional appropriation, there might be included a provision setting aside a portion of what is known as the ‘epidemic fund’ to ‘Whether a National leper hospital would be the result of this action or not, a com- mission of this character would cause a sense of relief to the people of the United States, whether its conclusions were either affirmative or negative as to such an establishment.” CASHIEE DAVIES Those Who Suffered by His Stealings Ready to Lynch Him. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 18. — The town of East Peru is still wrought up over ihe failure of the Citizens’ Bank, as a re- sult of the defalcation and disappearance of C.O. Davies, cashier. Davies cleaned out the assets of the bank and got cash for them from Des Moines banks and skipped. Fora long time no clew could be had. Recently letters have been re ceived, mailed from South Denver, Celo., containing some notes the bank had held, on the back of which Davies had indo: in his own handwriting tHe amounts paid and asked that they be returned to their makers. Detectives have been in Colorado looking for Davies, who is understood to have a family there, but since the letters were received there has been no exgecta- tion of finding him, as it is thought he would not have mailed letters from the same section of the country in which he was hiding, His stealin, amount to about $30,000. If brought back to Peru he stands a good chance to be lynched. e v Atkinson Wants His Girl. CHICAGO, ILL., July 18.—William Lane of 5006 Wentworth avenue was arrested to- day at the instigation of J. J. Atkinson, a traveling salesman from Kansas City, Mo. Atkinson claims that Lane took Lulu Irene Atkinson, aged 12, from her home in Kan- sas City and brought her to Chicago. At- kinson, it is alleged, obtained a divorce from his wife in Kansas City July 8. He obtained the custody of the child, but Lane, he alleges, took the girl away. The case will be heard July 24. et kel + Special Legislation Needed. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 18.—8ince the discovery that the proposed reorganization of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company was blocked by the laws of Minnesota the lawyers and all the parties interested have been at work upon a scheme to evade the legal obstacles. It developed yesteraay Y.Hhfiz ghi,n Adxnuxmt to L:::gmi) to ao:t . Pig it an e Deutsche Banl repr::g:afivu .}: khew nothing of THEFTS. the proposed scheme. When the proposi- tion was made at the first day’s conference Adams asked Hill formally whether his company had the legal right to make a uaranty on the Northern Pacific bonds. ill replied that it had the right, and mentioned two Judges, his counsel and a firm of New York lawyers as his authori- ties. Special legislation seems to be the only way out of the difficulty. e it AFTER THE SUGAR BOUNTY. Claimants Now Anxiously Await the Comptroller’s Ruling. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 18.—A Wash- ington special says: Treasury officials have raised the question of the constitu- tionality of the sugar bounty law under the provisions of the appropriation made by the last Congress to pay the bounty claimed by the sugar-planters to have been due them at the time of the passage of the last taniff act. The first voucher for a payment under the first-mentioned appropriation came a few daysago. It was for $11,000 and was drawn’ in favor of the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company of Grand Island, Nebr. Comptroller Bowler, who now has it under , consideration, is understood to believe that any law authorizing the pay- ment of a bounty is unconstitutional, al- though he has never before been called upon to make an official ruling on the question. The sugar men are awaiting his decision with considerable anxiety. He has notified the representatives of the Oxnard Company to appear before him on Wednesday of next week to show cause why the payment of their claim should be allowed. . As there is no appeal from the decision of the Comptroller of the Treasury, if his decision be adverse to the claimants there is no way in which the Treasury officials can be compelled by court writs to pay the money claimed, and the only course the Oxnard Company can pursue will be to bring suit in the Court of Claimsand carry the case to the Supreme Court. WANTS THE BIG FIGHT, Galveston Holds Out Large Inducements to the Pugilists. Dallas May Yet Lose the Contest Between Corbett and Fitz- simmons. DALLAS, Tex., July 18.— Galveston wants the Corbett-Fitzsimmons glove con- test pulled off on that island. The cap- italists and business men of that city have appointed Dick Spillane and A. M. Gil- lough a committee to come to Dallas and make a proposition to President Dan A. Stuart of the Florida Athletic Club to pull up stakes and go to Galveston. The in- ducement offered by the committee has not been made public, but it is said tobea very liberal one. In reference to the Gal- veston proposition President Stuart said to the reporter: “Galveston offers a big thing, and I shall godown to see about it Saturday night. In getting up this contest I supposed I was doing a good turn for Dalias as well as for myself. Dallas is my home, and I have a pride and an interest in seeing the place prosper. Iam no advocate of glove con- tests, and have no special love for the tribe engaged in that line of business, but so loug as this world’s championship had to be settled somewhere I thought Dallas might as well have the benefit of what would incidentally be reaped by the city in which it was pulled off, but it appears that some of the people, particularly the preachers, do not wish the event to take place here. “They have done all they could to oppose me, and I now hear they have employed attorneys to sue out an injunction to stop work on the building just as soon as the contractors touch a stick of timber. Now, if Dallas does not want the contest there are other cities in the State that do. Fore- most of these is Galveston, whose people offer the grounds and the buildings free. I have asked for no donations and do not now ask for any, but it will be worth just as much to me personally to have the event in Galveston as in Dallas. In sign- ing Corbett and Fitzsimmonsand the other pugilists the papers read ‘Texas,’ and not ‘Dallas,’ and there will be no complication whatever in a change of location in letting the contract. I shall have it read either ‘Dallas’ or ‘Galveston.” Persons who have bought or may hereafter buy seats with the understanding that the contest isto come off here will be taken care of without extra expense in the way of railroad fare in casze of a change of location.” A S Tl A Lieutenant in Disgrace. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 18.—The conduct of First Lieutenant Thomas H. McGuire of the Fourteenth Infantry, now at Portland, Or., has not been satisfactory to the general commander of the Depart- ment of the Columbia, and Captain Taylor of the Fourteenth Infantry has been ordered from Vancouver barracks to Port- land to investigate the conduct of the lieutenant.

SACRAMENTO, Car., July 18.—The opening day of the summer meet of the Pacific Coast Trotting-horse Breeders’ As- sociation promises fair to be the most in- teresting of any that has ever occurred on the coast. The event that is at present at- tracting the most attention among the knowing ones is the 2:13 pacing mateh, which opens with ten entries. Of these seven at least have worked out in from 'l:ll}iI to 2:13, and the knowledge of this fact has set every one guessing. In the 2:40 class many of the entries have worked out in 2:15. A well-known horseman, who had en- tered an animal in this class, stated this afternoon, while watching the work on the track and timing the flyers, that he had been positive that his horse could go bet- ter than 15, and thought he was in it, but he bad seen enough to convince him that his horse might as well be stabled, as he iwo;l(x)i.ghmv‘a to go against animals traveling n 2:09. The track is very fast with the exception of a streak near the starting point, and that promises to be equal to the rest before Saturday. At the present time there are nearly 400 horses of the best strains on the coast within the park stables, and from the enthusiasm displayed on all hands the meet promises to be the most successiul ever held in California.

After Cashing a Check at the Bank He Disappeared With the Paper’s Money. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 19.—The fol- lowing story is published this morning: A trusted messenger neatly robbed the New York Herald of $10,000 on Wednes- day. He was sent late in the forenoon to the Chemical National Bank with a check for an even $10,000, signed by G. G. How- land, business manager. It was for the weekly payroll. The man had often taken this little trip to the bank, satchel in hand, and had always heretofore brought back the money safely and delivered it to the cashier. He placed the roll in the little satchel very carefully and departed. That was the last seen of him. Late in the afternoon, when the Herald cashier had grown weary of waiting, the bank was asked about the delay by telephone. The reply came that the money had been prop- erly paid to the Herald's accredited repre- sentative. An investigation was begun, but nothing was revealed except the fact that the messenger was gone with the $10,000. Word was sent to police head- quarters to keep a sharp lookout for the man, and to maintain the strictest secrecy. It is thought that after obtaining the money the messenger boarded some out- bound vessel. There is at present little hope of tracing him.’ At the Chemical National Bank an assistant cashier said yesterday: “It is not our affair. We paid the money on a regularly signed and indorsed check toa representative who was thoroughly accredited by his employers. We are not liable at all.” Another officer said: “We knew noth- ing abo't the matter until we received a telephone query from the Herald. The man had come and got the money as usual. Icannot give you his name, as nothing is to be said about the matter.’ At the Herald office every endeavor wi made to keep the matter from the publi Bl ooy Troops Held in Readiness.

HER LOVER LYNCHED, All Doubts That He Committed the Murder Have Vanished. REVEALED AFTER TEN YEARS, Those Who Punished the Assassin Flocked to See the Recov- ered Remalns. FRANKFORT, Isp, July 18.—A dis- covery made yesterday of a skeleton of a woman in an old abandoned well near Burlington, fifteen miles northeast of here, has created a tremendous sensation' by re- viving the greatest murder mystery in the history of Indiana. The remains have been identified as those of Miss Louella Mabbitt, who mys- teriously disappeared ten years ago, and for whose murder her lover, Omer Green, was lynched. About ten years ago Miss Louella Mabbitt, daughter of one of the leading citizens of Carrcll County, and herself a woman of rare beauty and a leader of society, left her home in the evening with her accepted suitor, Omer Green, a man of wealth and widely known. She failed to return home and searching parties were organized. Green claimed to have let her out of his buggy at her home and for a few days appeared distracted with grief and led searching parties every- where. Evidence that indicated Greene’s guilt began to accumulate and he suddenly dis- appeared. At a bound popular excitement sprang to a frenzy. It became a sortof mania. Almost the entire population of Clinton, Cass, Carroll, Howard and Tippe- canoe counties joined in the search. Houses were searched generally, whether people were suspected or not. Cellars and wells were explored everywhere and every suspicious-looking mound of earth was dug up. The Wabash River was dragged for fifty miles, but the body of the woman was not found. Inthe meantime Pinkerton’s had been employed on the case, but aftera year's hunt gave up finding either the girl's boay or the murderer. Greene was finally cap- tured by the noted detective, Buck Stanley, in Texas, after two years’ search, and brought back to the scene of the supposed crime. He refused to say whether the girl was dead or alive. He was placed in jail at Delphi. A few days later fully 2000 men took him from the jail, drove him to the Mabbits home and lynched him. The father of the girl, who was very wealthy, spent all of his possessions following up any clew, believing his daughter yet alive. The discovery of the body in the well yesterday was made by workmen who were cleaning it out, it having remained unused for nearly twenty years. Green was last seen with the girl less than a mile from the well, which at that time was cov- ered over with planks and earth, and but few knew of its existence. Miss Mabbitt had peculiarly shaped teeth, nearly all of them being double, and one of them had a filling of gold shaped almost exactly like a heart. This same filling was found in the teeth of the skeleton discovered. The teeth were also double. When a small girl she had three ribs broken, and evidence of fracture is plainly discernible on three of the ribs of the skeleton. The popular excitement has again broken outin the neighborhood of the scene, and hundreds of people are flocking to see the skeleton. The general verdict is that at last Indiana’s great murder mystery bas been solved. Six Persons Drowned. LONDON, Exg., July 18.—A boating ac- cident, in which six persons lost their lives, occurred this afternoon at Ormsby Broad, near Yarmouth. A party had gone out for a pleasure sail and were caught in a squall, the boatat the time carrying most of her canvas. She m})mzed almost im- mediately and before help could reach the scene the occupants were dead. s S Christian Endeavorers.
