Prominent Eastern Men Who Insist That the Convention Shall Be Held Here. BOSTON. Mass., Oct. 27.—Among East- ern politicians in the Republican ranks | there is only one topic of interest at| —the place tor the National Re- pu! n Convention. Since the changein | favor of San Francisco a few days ago the boom for the Golden Gate has gone on | apace ard is now on the high road of suc- | cess. Onl re now mentioned, | a few s disposea toward | Pittsburg, but it more th: y that s,”” which is | , they will be at the meeting of the “big to be held during the wee drawn into line. Since Governor Greenhalge of Massa- chusetts and Governor Cleaves of Maine have taken such a decided stand in favor of the California metropolis there has been | a sudden change all along the line, and | whereas a week ago party men were strongly in favor of some one of the East- ern cities, now they are equally as deter- | mired that the West shall secure the plum. As yet no open campaign has been started, but it is thought that this is due to some secret political history. | A prominent politician stated to-day that no action would be taken definitely untilt the return of Joe Manley from the West and until he had held a consultation with the heads of the party. Every one reads in this de- | layed action the hand of the craity Maine | statesman, and all are awaiting with inter- | est his return. Another strong Eastern | man has added his name to the San Fran- cisco delegzation. This-is United States Senator George Frisbie Hoar. and when seen to-day, although he would say noth- ing definite as to the action which he would take, he gave it to be understood that he had swungaround into line for San Fran- cisco, e LIKELY TO COME THIS WAY. A New York Paper's Comment on the Cam- raign to Secure the Con- [vention. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.—The Mer- cury to-morrow will print the following: Chicago’s handling of the Republican | National Convention in 1888 was simply | disgraceful, and it was no better in 1892 | when the Democrats met them, Judgin,:] from the tone of the comments of public | men on the subject, neither party is likely j to hold another National convention Chicago for many years. | The Honorable Matthew Stanley Quay | is putting in good licks for Pittsburg for | the G. O. P. National conclave next year | and the citizens of Pittsburg are backing | him up nobly. At a public meeting held in the Smok: City on Saturday, at which Quay’s old- time enemy, Chris Magee, presided, the announcement was made that $75,000 had been raised and would be forthcoming as the National Committee might suggest, provided Pittsburg could have the conven- | tion. One of the speakers called attention to the fact that the money could be paid over at oncein hard cash. No doubt this | consideration will have due weight with | the members of the Republican National Committee. Money talks, and subserip- tions have a way of melting away into | thin air, as any man who has served on a | National campaign committee can testity. | @San Francisco will, it is believed, dupli- cate Pittsburg’s cash offer for the conven- tion if not go it several points better. As compared with San Francisco, Pittsburg is very poorly equipped for handling a Na- | tional convention. Her hotel accommoda- | tions are very limited, ana the city has none of the natural attractions of the Cali- fornia metropolis. It is an edifying sight to see Quay, Chris Magee, Dan Martin aud other eminent Republicans of the Key- stone State all working together in har- mony for anything, but it is thought that the convention plum 1s likely to go to San | Francisco. in | | | ——-—— | THE BIG FUND GROWS. | Prospects of a Cent a Mile Rate—The Union League Will Call a Big Mass- Meeting. Of course Sunday was not prolific of subscriptions to the fund which San Fran- cisco expects to use as a bait for the great Republican National Convention. Yet a few names were added to the roll of honor and the grand total swelled to $55,750. Considering the brief space of time in which this sum bas been realized the out- look is certainly very promising for the ultimate realization of a fund even more than double that already subscribed. The interest 1n the movement is keén, in truth, everybody is enthusiastic over the plan to bring the big convention here and the workers for the good cause are legion. One of the most promising signs of the widespread interest taken in the matter and the general desire that everybody manifests to do all that is in their power to induce the delegates to favor San Fran- cisco is the activity manifested by the rail- road people. Mr. Huntington has prom- ised that suitable reductions in passenger fares shall be made over his lines and is even considering the plan of carrying the delegates free. The Southern Pacific officials have re- ceived a communication from Chairman Caldwell of the Western Trunk Line Passenger Association, in which the writer declares his belief that a rate of 1 cent a mile between Chicago and San Francisco can be secured for the conven- tion. According to the rulesof the asso- ciation it will take a unanimous vote of all the railroads affected in order to adopt that rate. Bat with probably two excep- tions all the Western roads favor the 1 cent a mile rate, and Mr. Caldwell thinks that these two roads will faliin line just as soon as it is apparent that neither Minne- apolis nor Denver are in the fight—which, in fact, they never seriously were. The Pullman Palace Car Company has said that its contract to supply sleeping cars to the Western roads shall not stand in the way of San Francisco’s securing the convention, as it will. permit Wagner coaches to be run clear through in case the Pullman Company is unable to sup{!y sufficient accommodations—which, in the case of such an unprecedented crowd as will doubtless flock to the coast if the con- yention comes here, is exceedingly doubt- The Union League's committee meeting to-night at the Palace Hotel will doubtless be prolitic of good resuits in the convention fight. The committee will discuss ways and means and-outline a vigorous cam- paign. Its chief work, of course, will be the convening of a imonster mass-meeting in the near future for the purpose of aiding the mighty movement now on foot in this State and City to secure the Republican Convention for San Francisco. Tle date for the general meeting will also be fixed | by the committee to-night. As far as the plans have yet matured, it | is the purpose of the Union League com- mittee to send invitations to all the State and municipal officers, the press, Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Hali-million Club and kindred organizations which have the interests of the City at heart. It is thought that the committee will fix the The Convention Subseriptions to Date. | ¢ THE CALL *. ....810,000 ‘THE EXAMI 7,500 ¢« THE CHRONICLE 7,500 PAC.

A NoTorious CHARACTER WHO MASQUERADES AS A WOMAN oF FASHION. CLIFTON HEIGHTS, Pa., Oct. 27.—A sensational capture was made here last night, when Edward Stillwagen, aged 50 years, an engineer, was arrested while clad in fashionable female attire. It was the culmination of a peculiar mystery that has puzzled this town for two years. He is the famous “Cloakman” who has ter- rorized women and children so long. A feature of the case is that Stillwagen says he diessed in women’s clothes in order to run down his wife’s alleged admirer. A great crowd followed him to the station- house, and the angry citizens wanted to mob the gayly robed individual. When taken into the Justice's office it was found that the prisoner wore a com- plete outfit of female apparel, even to un- derclothing, corsets and long stockings. He wore fancy slippers, was powdered and perfumed and carried a dainty handker- chief, gloves and a lady’s leather pocket- book. The outer dress wasof fancy beaded silk with big puff sleeves. On the prison- er's head was a wig of fashionable shape and very bionde and a fancy comb held it down. The hat was of dark straw brightly trimmed with big feathers. All the cloth- ing was bright and new and the under- clothing was of spotless white and newly laundered. Stillwagen has been separated from his wife for two years and the reason he gave for wearing women's clothing was that he wanted to run down the man whom he says has been paying attentions to his wife. He is now in jail and still wears the up-to-date female garb. He is never known to have harmed any person except to frighten women. e e i} Pursued by Lynchers and Hgunds. JACKSON, Miss., Oct. 27.—A. N. Porter and Elgin Walls were shot at Bolton last night by George Mierrick, a negro. The young men were prosperous farmers. The negro is being chased with hounds and he will be lynched if captured to-night, NO AID FOR ENGLAND. RussiA's MoveE IN CHINA NoT OPPOSED BY GERMANY. PRICE PAID FOR PEACE. CONCESSIONS GRANTED BY THE CZAR'S GOVERNMENT TO THE KAISER. GRAVE DANGERS TO EUROPE. THE PRESS OF THE FATHERLAND SEES SIGNS OF A COMING STRUGGLE. BERLIN, Germaxy, Oct. 27.—The al- leged treaty concluded between Russia and China, conceding to the former extra- ordinary naval and commercial advan- tages, is being widely and diversely dis- cussed in Berlin, and in connection therewith it is asserted that the recent interview between the Emperor and Prince Lobanoff- Rostovski, Russian Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, on the occasion of the latter’s visit to the Kaiser at Huber- tusstock, decided the price which Russia would have to pay for peace with Ger- many. The Kreuz Zeitung, in an article on the subject says: ““We can only conceive that Germany’s consent to the alleged agreement between Russia and China would be given in ex- change for equivalent concessions to Ger- many. Then Germany will be freed from all obligations in regard to the evacuation of the Lioa Tung territory by the Jap- anese.” The anti-Russian newspapers in Berlin take a very pessimistic view of the situa- tion, predicting 'that the spring of 1896 will be fraught with graye dangers to Europe, and pointing out that the first mild wesather of spring might easily be made the signal of a general European mobilization of troops. Following the ceremonies of consecrat- ing the painted window of the Emperor Frederick memorial and the unveiling of the monument to the Eimnpress Augusta, grandmother of the Emperor, both of which occurred on October 21, the princi- pal society function of the week was the reopening of the Royal Opera-house on Wednesday, after a complete renovation of the interior of the theater at a cost of more than 500,000 marks. Pending the alteration and redecoration of the opera- house, the royal opera has had its home in Krolls Theater for the past four months. In addivion to the entire redecoration of the auditorinm and approaches thereto, material improvements have been made in the facilities for entrance and exit and for heating, lighting and ventilation. The space devoted to the orchestra has been enlarged sufficiently to accommodate 100 musicians, and is provided with a double floor constructed like a huge mandolin, with a view to increasing its resonant qualities. The house has also been sup- plied with a new organ, which is abso- lutely perfect in tone. The concert hall, adjoining the foyer, has been beautified by the addition of several handsome paint- ings, The Emperor and Empress with the imperial suite were present at the perform- | ance marking the reopening of the opera- house, upon which occasion Beetnoven’s “Fidelio” was presented with an excellent cast. The artists taking part in the per- formance were greatly and deservedly epplanded. An amusing contretemps in the course of the rendition of the opera befell Herr Joseph Kainz, who sustained the role of Meister von Palingoa. The laurel wreath which he tears from his head fell off acci- dentally. Herr Kainz being unaware of this clutched his wig and at the crucial moment tore it off in a tragic ecstacy. The house was convulsed with laughter, in which the Emperor joined heartily. Baron von Hammerstein, Minister of Agriculture, Domains and Forests, has been making a tour of inspection in Prussian Silesia, where he was the guest of Prince Ratibor. Upon the occasion of his being entertained by Prince Ratibor at a banquet Baron von Hammerstein made a speech, in which he expressed his sym- pathy with the people of the eastern provinces in view of the depression of agricultural industries in those regions and declared his determined opposition to the agrarian schemes of Deputy von Kanitz and also to bimetallism. The reasons he advanced for his attitude, how- ever, eatisfied neither the agrarians nor their opponents. Nevertheless the baron’s speech, which has been widely commented upon, is taken to indicate his desire to meet the wishes of the agrarians as far ag possible, and the agrarians are correspond- ingly appeased. The Reichsbote, which claims to have supplanted the Kreuz Zeitung as the lead- ing organ of the Conservative party, has startled its readers and attracted attention throughout the empire by proposing that all commereial and industrial enterprises whose profits exceed 8 or 10 per cent shall be nationalized for the benefit of the state. The suggestion is being howled down as a proposition smacking of rank socialism. Following the lead of the Deutsche Bank several other banking institutions are branching out into business in the Trans- vaal. An agent of the Dresdener Bank, upon a recent official visit to South Africa, with a view to extending the business of this house, arranged to take over the busi- ness of the firm of C. & L. Albu at Jo- hannesburg and form a new company, styled the General Mining and Finance | Corporation, limited. The capital of the new company is £1,250,000, all of which has been taken by the Dresdener Disconto Gesellschaft and other members of the syndicate, and branches will be opened in London and Berlin. An mnstitution for deai-mutes at Hohen- warth, Bavaria, together with the parith church and vicarage adjoining, was de- stroyed by fire yesterday. The institution contained 170 girl inmates, who were obliged to take refuge upon the roof, from which they were rescued with great diffi- culty. Some of them were badly burned and all of them suffered severely from shock. Emulating the long-standing custom in the navy of Great Britain, the Emperor has ordered that the sailors in the German navy shall hereaiter either wear full beards or be clean-shaven. The Countess of Hartenau, widow of the late Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, who renounced his rights and title and assumed the name of Count von Hartenau upon his marriage, which his royal relatives de- nounced as a mesalliance, s about to take up her residence permanently in Frank- fort-on-the-Main. It is said that this change has been brought about as the re- sult of her having established a friendship with her late husband’s relatives, who are disposed to recognize at least some of her social claims as the widow of a member of the Battenberg family. In the second day's harness trotting of the West End season Mr. Fleischmapn’s Shadeland Delmonico won the great inter- national handicap. The third day’s racing was spoiled by rain, but Shadeland Del- monico managed to get second place in the international race. A committee of Americans is being formed here for the purpose of celebrating Thanksgiving day. Theodore Runyon, United States Embassador, is chairman of the committee, which holdsits meetings at the United States Embassy. It has been suggested that the usnal Thanksgiv- ing day banquet be held in the great hall of the Reichstag building, but this propo- salis opposed by some who prefer to have the dinner at the hotel which Americans have formerly frequented on such occa- sions. The Emperor attended the Prince Fred- erick Charles memorial banquet to-night and will to-morrow start for Liebenberg for a season of hunting with the Count von Eulenburg. 3 The National Liberal party will be una- ble to form an absolute majority in the Baden Landtag, as the result of the elec- tion in the Duchy, but it will still remain the strongest party in the Chamber. General Murray and Dr. Murray of Bal- timore are among the American visitors here. OFF TO SOUTH AP, MINING EXPERTS OF THE GOLDEN STATE LEAVE FOR THE NEW EL DORADO. J. H. TiBBITTS OF SAN FRANCISCO THE CHIEF OF THE PROSPECT- ING PARTY. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.—A party of American mining experts from California arrived in this city to-day and are now at the Brunswick. The party is on its way to the gold fields of Soutk Africa and will sail for the African coast in a few days. The chief of the party, which is probably the first organizea band of American min- ing experts that has ever invaded the African fields, is J. H. Tibbitts of San Francisco. He is accompanied by Colonel John Hammond, Charles Stocks of Grass Valley, Cal., and Louis M. de Murat of Paris, France. Mr. Tibbitts is one of the best known miners in the West. He is a member of the Legislature of the State of California. He was born in the mother lode section of the Btate, which was famous in the days of ’49, and has fol- lowed mining all hislife. He has made many valuable discoveries and opened up and developed many of the best known and most successful mines in the State. Mr. Tibbitts was honored by his old friends and comrades when he left California on his present mission. He goes to South Africa under an engagement to develop a claim. This will take up but a portion ot his time and he intends to do considera- ble prospecting on his own account. Colonel Hammond already owns several claims in the African gold fields, and it was he who induced the others in hys party to visit that far away El Dorade. Colonel Hammond i of the opinion that American push, energy and mining meth- ods will work wonders'in the tropical land of wealth. He belleves there is more gold n South Africa than the wildest dreamer has ever imagned, and bases his opinion on a profound knowledge of the conntry. When South Africa is reached the party intends to push its way into the interior, going 400 miles from Johannesburg, the scene of the operations 6f Barney Barnato, who has set all Europe crazy by his great | wealth, which he is alleged to have ac- cumulated there. R Ao WAS GIVEN POISON. An Attempt to Murder Rev. Mr. Heoffer, the Preacher-Politician of Ohio. CINCINNATT, Oxro, Oct. 27.—A special to the Tribune from Greenville, Ohio, says: Intense excitement prevails here to-night over the discovery of an attempt to poison Rev. Mr. Heoffer. Dr. Kerlin, Rev. Heoffer’s family physician, advised him Saturday afternoon not to attempt to preach on Sunday, but as he had promised to preach he arranged his sermon and an- nounced his intention of delivering it. About 8 o’clock a boy appeared and said that Dr. Kerlin had prepared a powder for Heoffer so that he could be able to preach in the morning. Heoffer took the powder and at breakfast fell asleep at the table. Later it was found that he had been poisoned. He rallied, however, and went to church, where he read his text, but was taken ill and had to be taken home. Dr. Kerlin was summoned. He says he did not prepare such a powder. Excitement runs high. 1t is feared a lynching will occur when it is learned who sent the powder. Rev. Mr. Heoffer is the minister whom it is alleged, while a can- didate for the Ohio Legislature on the Re- publican ticket, wrote a letter to Senator Brice offering to support him for re-elec- tion in the Assembly if he would con- tribute $15,000 toward Heoffer’s campaign expenses, e FOUGHT WITH A BURGLAR. 4 Chicago Merchant Kills a Thief Who Entered His Store: CHICAGO, Irv., Oct. 27.—P. L. Farrel}, a burglar, was shot to death while in the act of robbing Anthony Stauber’s merchant- tailoring establishment, 2211 Cottage Grove avenue, at 1 o’clock this morning. The recent raids of burglars made Stau- ber fearful of a visit from maraunders,’and he resolved to sleep in his store. He was awakened this morning by a crashing of glass in the rear window, and a few seconds later a hand appeared through the hole in the glass and deftly opened the fastener so the sash could be raised. The next moment the burglar was in the store and confronted by the owner. There was a struggle, in which Stauber fired three shots, all of which took effect, killing the burglar al- most instantly. e Perished in Prairie Fires. PERRY, O. T., Oct. 27.—Terrible prairie fires raged thirty miles northeast of here on the Arkansas River yesterday. The wind was high, and many_thousand acres of pasturage, corn and Kaffir cornfields were burned over. Several Indjan chil- dren are reported to have perished in the flames, andphundreds of people barely es- caped with their lives. mE s President Alfare’s Inauguration. NEW YORK, N.

GUARDED BY TROOPS, ANOTHER ATTACK UPON THE TIFFIN (OHIO) JAIL FEARED, CRYING FOR VENGEANCE MEMBERS OF THE MoB FIRED UPON BY GUARDS THREATEN TROUBLE. SHERIFF VAN NES3' BRAVERY. HE HAD ATTEMPTED SINGLE- HanpED To HoLp BACK THE CROWD OF LYNCHERS. TIFFIN, Omuro, Oct. 27.—In the attempt early this morning to avenge the murder of August Shultz, Tiffin’s popular Uity Marshal,-who was shot down in cold blood by Leander J. Martin, alias Williams, a farmer of Hopewell Township, last Wednes- day evening, two more victims were added to the tragic affair. At 1:30 o’clock a mob of 150 infuriated men, many of whom were under the influence of liquor, attacked the jailin an effort to secure Martin and hang him. A volley from a half dozen Win- chesters met them and two of the mob, Henry Mutchler Jr. and Christian Matz, were killed. At daylight this morning crowds began to gather in the vicinity of the jail, and, Sheriff Van Ness fearing further trouble, called ont Company C of the Sixteenth Regiment, 0. N. G., to maintain order. This company, which is stationed here, is not numerically strong, and the Sheriff thinking Captain Loomis’ men would be unable to cope with a more general civic uprising, telegraphed to Governor McKin- ley for more troops. The Governor com- plied with the request, ordering three ad- ditiona! companies to the scene. During the day one company each came from Fremont and Sandusky, and late this evening the company from Kenton arrived on the Big Four. It is not believed that there will be any further trouble, yet the friends of the dead men threaten vengeance on the guards who fired on the mob, and the dead Mar- shals’ friends say they will kill Martin if they can get to him. Martin was spirited away to Fremont long before daylight, but this the people Tuenames of the guards who fired the fatal volley are known only to Sheriff Van Ness. Three hundred mili- tiamen are guarding the jail to-night. Martin runs a small farm near Watson station, six miles south of town. Wednes- day afternoon he got intoa controversy with a son of a neighboring farmer. The boy, who is scarcely 15 years of age, had refused to obey some trivial request of Martin, and the farmey flew into a rage. He struck the boy with his fist and then seized him by the neck, nearly strangling him." The boy finally succeeded in break- ing away, and, half dead though he was, reached town, where. he told his story to the police. Officer Pat Sweeney and Marshal Shultz immediately started tor the Martin farm. Martin was still in front of the house and apparently saw them approaching, for he rushed inside, and when they arrived had barricaded the ‘doors and was watching from one of the windows. Sweeney and Shultz had not taken the affair very seriously and had expected no determined opposition. They walked di- rectly to the door of the house, but when they reached close range Martin opened fire from the window. They blazed away in return, but before more than a half dozen shots had been fired both officers had fallen. Shultz died instantly where he lay. Sweeney had started to retreat from the house at the first shot and suc- ceeded in getting beyond range with two wounds, which were not fatal. Re-enforcements arrived later from town and Martin seeing that further re- sistance was useless laid down hisarms and surrendered. The news of the death of Shultz caused the wildest excitement in town and among the neighboring farms where the dead man was well known and liked. Shultz’ funeral was held yesterday and was largely attended, the farmers for miles around adding their numbers to those of the friends of the Marshal living in town. After the services there was much talk among the populace, especially the farm- ers living near Watgon, and it was noticed as evening drew on that few of the tillers of the soil had taken their departure for home. Nothing was thought of this, however, as the farmers regard Saturdays at this season of the year as holidays and often “make a day of it” in town. There was considerable drinking among the town crowd and plenty of talk about lynching Martin, but it was not taken for much. Sheriff Joe Van Ness, knowing Shults’ popularity, had, however, taken the pre- caution the day after the murder to place four or five guardsin the jail and arm them" with Winchesters. He eaid this afternoon that he really expected no trouble, but put the men there *‘just to be on the safe side.” At midnight most of the saloons closed and the town was apparently quiet. It was noticed that nearly everybody had dis- appeared, and the two policemen who do night duty around the business portion of the little city walked their beats with ap- parently the usual dull night ahead of them. Out at the old fair grounds, just one mile east of the jail and Courthouse, which or- nament the exact center of the city, an exciting midnight scene was being enacted. Belated residents making for their homes in that portion of the citv noticed groups of men in various parts of the grounds, which were lately sold by the county to a syndicate for a subdivision of the city, The groups grew and their numbers were aug- mented every few minutes by the arrival of people from various parts of the city and country. No leader seemed in evidence. Shortly after 1 o’clock there was a con- certed move, and the mob, which had at last found a leader, started into the city. The night was dark and the shadows cast by the big trees which lined the pavements on both sides of the streets through which the mob marched added to the gloom. The marchers, on mob law bent, came into Market street just east of Heidelberg Col- lege, and, passing the handsome homes on the avenue, arrived in the rear of the jail at 1:30. After a wait of two or three mo- ments the mob, with a terrific yell, rushed through the yard between the Seneca County Courthouse and jail, and in a twinkling was demanding entrance to Sheriff Van Ness’ official residence and the jail. Many members of the mob had ob- | tained sledge hammers, which they used | with quick effect on the hght door which leads to the corridor between the Sheriff’s residence and jail proper. This obstacle was demolished with a few sharp blows and the bloodthirsty mob surged inside the jail. Sheriff Van Ness and his deputies were prepared for intruders. He met the first part of the mob and demanded its instant withdrawal on penalty of the law and bodily harm if it ventured further. The brave officer faced the infuriated throng, revolver in hand, but he was overpowered by the reckless and partly intoxicated mob and his weapon wrested Irom his grasp. The law-breakers, elated over their ap- parently easy progress toward the object of their attack, imagined that the remain- der of their fatal work would be as easy. But they counted without the determined and heavily armed body of six deputy sheriffs who had been sworn in by tne chief peace officer of the county after the arrest of Martin, Shultz’ fmurderer, and placed in an advantageous position inside the jail, with ironclad orders to resist the taking of the prisoner at all hazards. The mob was not aware even of the presence of these extra jail guards. After gaining access to the hallway and overpowering the Sheriff the mob soon broke open the solid steel door which sepa- rated it from the jail. Behind this is a heavy, semi-circular barred door, which was attacked with sledge hammers. After pleading and threats had failed to get the men to desist the guards fired into the ceiling. The sound of the firearms did not make the crowd flinch. As a last resort the guards, following the command of the Sheriff, turned their death-dealing weap- ons direct upon the attacking party and poured a volley of lead into its midst, The volley of six Winchester balls brought death to Henry Mutchler Jr. and Christian Matz. They fell lifeless where they had stood helping in the work of bat- tering down the obstacles to the cell in which Martin lay crouching in fear of his life being taken away before the judg- ment of the law. The bodies of the two men were carried away by their comrades. This tragic check served only to add to the fury of the mob. The work of demolition was brought to a stop only be- cause certain members of the mob had gone from the scene of lawlessness to secure dynamite with which to destroy the jail and its hated inmates. While the vain search for the terrible explosive was in progress, Police Officers Sweeney and Faulkner went to Martin’s cell, unlocked the door, handcuffed him and took Lim from the jail by a rear door whieh the mob had not thought of guard- ing. The hunted prisoner and his guards entered a waiting cab at the door and were driven at a furious pace to Fremont, twenty-four miles distant. The murderer was locked in the jail there temporarily, ‘When bis presence there became known it was deemed advisable to remove him to Cleveland, and he was taken there by train to-night, The guards who had car- ried out the orders of their superior offi- cers and upheld the law with such terrible effect disappeared from the jail as soon as word came that Martin was safely on the way to Fremont. The mob quickly learned that the object of its vengeance was no longer within reach, and slowly dispersed after the hunt for dynamite had proved fruitless. Baffled in the plot to lynch the siayer of the Marshal, the mob’s rage and threats of vengeance were directed against the depu- ties who had killed two of their number. They tried to find the officers and learn their identity, but their names are known to the Sheriff and a few trusted persons only. ‘With the break of day excited crowds began to gather again in the vicinity of the jail, and Sheriff Van Ness found it necessary to call out the local company of the Ohio National Guard, as well as to apply to Governor McKinley for additional cnmpanies. The crowd which swarmed outside the jail refused to believe the pris- oner had been removed, and laughed at the several committees of citizens who zave the interior of the structure a thor- ough inspection and reported that the murderer was not there. A company of militia arrived to-night from Toledo and went into camp in the vi- cinity of the jail, where the other four companies of the National Guard ars on duty, making an armed force of trained men sufficient to repel any attack which even an organized and heavily armed mob might make upon the jail. Colonel Kuert of Toledo, as ranking officer, assumed charge of the militia, and the situation at a late hour gives no indication of another outbreak. Mutchler was 23 years old and a laborer. He was drunk during the night and was loud in agitating lynch law. Matz was 33 vears old and a butcher. Neither was married. ' It is expected that the Campbell cam- aign-meeting to-morrow will attract a arge crowd to the city, and that there may be scenes of violence, as threats are still being made to blow up the jail to avenge the shooting of the men.

PARALYZED BY THE FORCE WITH WHICH HE STRUCK THE WATER, EXPIRED SOON AFTERWARD. A Famous RIVAL OF STEVE BRODIE, ‘Wuo Mape ONE Jump Too MANY. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Oct. 27.— Patrick King Callahan, more familiarly known as “King” Callaban, the profes- sional bridge-jumper, leaped from the Poughkeepsie bridge into the Hudson River,a distance of 212 feet, at an early hour this morning. Callahan was fatally injured, and died at 11:25 o’clock toAnig}Et. After Callahan put on his jumping suir, which was composed of a pair of shoes, a pair of black pants, a suit of cotton under- wear, a cork vest and a rough blue shirt, be started with William Lloyd and two Poughkeepsians to go out upon the bridge. They passed the watchman by saying they were painters, and when they reached a point about fifty feet from the shore Calla- han gave a rush and leaped into space. His body shot down toward the water at a rapid rate and presented a thrilling spec- tacle as he wavered to one side and then to the other. ‘When about twenty feet from the water Callahan’s body inclined and struck the water with terrific force. He sank, and came to the surface moaning like a dying man. Within fifteen seconds his friends in the boat, who were about twenty-five feet from where he struck, pulled Callahan into the boat and rowed for the shore. When the shore was reached Callahan got out of the boat without any assistance and walked to Dean’s Hotel, which is near the railroad depot. When he went in he dropped on the floor and was perfectly exhausted. His limbs grew stiff and he was carried to a roora and put to bed. Under Callaban’s chin was a bad cut, received from the cork vest, which had been poorly adjusted. He was also injured internally, and suffered greatly from the shock. The lower part of his body was varalyzed. All of his friends, save one, returned to New York on an early even- ing train. éallahan was 27 years old and was born in Ireland, About seven years ago he leaped from Blackiriars bridge, in Lon- don, and on July 22, 1895, made a similar lesp from the Brooklyn bridge, escaping injury in both cases. & 0, Bicycle Contest Closes TO-FMIORROW—TUESDAY.
