The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, November 11, 1895, Page 2

2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1895. Correspondenz, asks what practical mean- ing lies in the declaration of the English Government that England will maintain her policy. What policy? The Triple Alli- ance, tke paper continues, bas not wanted, nor does it now want war, and Russia and France would not go very far merely to help Armenia. The situation in Eastern Asia has also to be considered, and in view of that situation England ought least of all to be disposed to drift into war. Her ultimate fate, therefore, must be to choose allies. > The Emperor has been shooting on the estate of Count von Wedel-Piesdorf, chief of the imperial household, at Piesdorf; and Prince Henry of Prussia and his wife, Princess Irene, it is announced, will spend the winter in Italy. Consequently they will not be able to appear at court this season. As the rumors of discord between the Emperor and his brother are likely to be revived because of the latter’s absence, it is given out that the reason for his absence is the delicate state of health of the Princess, which statement is partly true. The Em- peror will review the naval recruits at Kiel about the middle of December, and has promised to go to Buda-Pesth to be present at the Honved millennial celebrations. The projected international exhibition in Berlin in 1896 has been found impossible, because of the project of the German Na- tional Exhibition, which the managers thereof endeavored to- substitute for the international exposition. The scheme, however, isalso failing, and has so far dwindled into a mere Berlin trades _and art treasury exhibition. A squabble has now arisen over the site of the exhibition, one clique wanting to have it located at Charlottenburg and another in Treptow Park, on the Spree. The latter clique has gained the day under the infiu- ence of pressure brought to bear upon the committee by the Government in repre- sentations that the working people ought to be primarily benefited by the exhibi- tion. The signers of the guarantee fund in the meantime refuse to provide lights for the exhibitions and it will consequently have to be closed after dark, unless some sagacious speculators benefit themselves and the public by arranging to put in an electric light plant. . The head of the management of Royal Opera-house has always been regarded as a high court official, but it appears that the incumbent, Count von Hochberg, is not. The post is a desirable one to a finical aristocrat, as the dictum of the incumbent is absolute in aealing with rows between actors, actresses, singers and others, and therefore the manager is regarded by him- seif and everybody else as a mighty per- sonage. The actual management of the opera-house has of late driftea into the hands of the director. Herr Pierson, who 1s an energetic and refined gentleman and a good musician. Itis announced that Count von Hochberg is aboutto be ap- pointed the successor of Count von Wedel- Piesdorf as Minister of the Imperial Household, and that Baron von Hiolsen, now manager of the Royal Theater at Wiesbaden, will succeed Count von Hoch berg, taking the active management of the Royal Opera-house in lin. Outsiders may think that these changes amount to very little, but they have no idea of the interest and importance which aristo-- cratic circles attach to them. The delay of the telegraph in supplying Berlin with good reports of Lord Salis- bury’s speech at the Mansion House ban- quet in London last night has seriously retarded the publication of press com- ments. Several special correspondents were able to furnish their papers with summaries of the speech, but they are not sufficiently comprehensive to serve asthe bases of elaborate editorials. In official , however, the statement of the h Premier is regarded as being as explicit as the sitnation will permit and is generally considered satisfactory and re- assuring. Great interest has been centered in the progress of a trial which occupied the at- tention of the courts in Munich last week. The defendants were several well-known dealers in high-class pictures, who were accused of receiving and selling stolen pictures from the brush of the celebrated German portrait painter, Franz Lenbach. The courtroom was crowded with promi- nent society people, artists, etc., who fol- lowed the case with great attention, and a large number of witnesses were examined. One witness, a tailor named Stendal, swore that he was an amateur painter and had devoted his leisure hours to painting imj- tations of Lenvach’s portraits of Prince Bismarck, Count von Caprivi and other notable persons. One of his pictures of | General Caprivi he had seen sold in the shop of a well-known and reputable dealer as a genuine Lenbach. The prosecution was unable to prove that any of the por- traits figuring in the case were stolen pic- tures, and the jury last evening brought in a verdict of “not guilty.”” When the verdict was announced the spectators, led by the artists, cheered the accused picture dealers and the cheers were taken up by the public outside as the acquitted dealers left the court. A disastrous fire occurred at Ottensen, a suburb of Hamburg, last Dietz’ machine works and the Steinle Company’s tar works were destroyed. The loss is placed at 2,000,000 marks. MANY CHILDREN CREMATED. Thirty-One Bodies Taken From the Ruins of a ' Burned Schoolhouse in Nicaragua. GRANADA, Nicaracus, Nov. 10.—A school here, in which it is calculated there were between 100 and 150 children, caught fire yesterday, and in spite of the heroic efforts of the authorities and peovle the building was destroyed. From the ruins so far thirty-one bodies, including that of a teacher, have been re- covered. The fire is believed to have been incendiary, and two boys who were se- verely punished by the teacher and sus- pended are believed to have been the authors of the crime. They have been ar- rested, but so far bave not confessed. —_—— LUST ONE OF ITS ANCHORS. The Cumard Liner Campania Slightly Damaged at Queenstown. QUEENSTOWN, Exc., Nov. 10.—While the Cunard line steamer Campania, Cap- tain Haines, from Liverpool yesterday for New York, was anchored in this harbor this morning, she lost one of her anchors and some of the chain attached to it, and damaged the hawsepipe. The damage was temporarily repaired and the steamer proceeded at 6:30 o’clock this evening. A gale from the west-southwest was blowing when it sailed, making it impossible for the local pilot on board of her to land, and he will therefore go to New York on he.

ECONOMIZING T0O MUCH. American Warships Affected by the Lack of Proper Overhauling. MORE DRYDOCKS NECESSARY. Building of But Two Small Vessels During the Year Advo- cated, WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.—The first ship of the new navy was put into commission over nine years ago, and, ac- cording to Chief Constructor Hichborn, | the demands for ordinary repairs on the earlier vessels for the preservation and for the maintenance of their equipage in a proper state of efficiency are yearly becom- ing more serious, and Congress must here- after make much larger appropriations for this purpose. Constructor Hichborn, in his annual report, declares that modern steel ships, with their extreme subdiv n and elaborate systems of ventilation, drainage gnd mechanical auxiliaries of all kinds, require much greater care, both when in commission and ordinarily, than was formerly the case with the old wooden ships. Neglect is followed by much more serious and far-reaching deterioration and it is absolutely essential that the most care- ful supervision should be exercised at all times and remedies promptly applied in order that the efficiency of the vessels as men-of-war may be properly maintained. For several years past the construction bureau has been compelled to economize nearly to the danger point, being limited | by a repair appropriation of less than 3 | per cent of the original cost of vessels, while in the British navy the figure varies from 4 to 9 per cent, the lower fizure ap- plying to the heavier armored vessels. | Constructor Hichborn insists that $1,500,000 | is needed for this year, where only §900,000 was secured trom Congress for the current year. { A significant feature of Constructor Hichborn’s report is that he officially rec- | ommended the construction of only two | new vessels to be authorized by Congress at the next session, instead of the great increase to our force of heavy battle-ships | which was unofficially suggested by his {paper read before the naval architects in | New York three days ago as being promptly needed by the navy. The vessels he recommends are two small composite sailing vessels of 1000 tons displacement, to cost only $250,000 each. These, if authorized by Congress, will be the first two vessels without steam power that have been placed in the naval service for many years. No argument regarding this recommendation is submitted by Con- structor Hichborn. Constructor Hichborn devotes consider- able space to pointing out the necessity for greatly increasing the number of dry- | docks at the navy-yards, the efficiency of | our cruisers being seriously affected by the difficulties encountered in cleaning their submerged portions. He recommendsnew docks at Portsmouth, N. H.; Boston, Mass.; mare Island, Cal., and Norfolk, Va. Until the indefinite time in the future, | when the big drydocks at New York, Puget Sound and Port Royal are available for deep-draught vessels, the new battle- ships must remain undocked. Chief Engineer Melville and Constructor Hichborn concur in the estimate that $5,805,679 must be provided for disbursment next year on account of the vessels author- ized by the last Congress, for which, how- | ever, no appropriations were made. For | repairs on the Chicago $300,000 is required | and for the Hartford $170,000. Constructor | Hichborn renews, with emphasis, the re- | quest he has frequently made to Congress for an experimental tank, to cost about $100,000, which 1t is proposed to use to test models of ships before the wesseis them- selves are built. ‘CAPTURED BY CHICAGOESE, |Atlanta Invaded by Visitors i From the Queen of the Lakes. ‘Arrival of the Advance Guard That | Will Celebrate on Illinois Day at the Fair. ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 10.—Five train- loads of Chicagoans came in to-day to at- tend the exercises on Illinois and Chicago day at the exposition. Chicago was the first city outside of Georgia to take a lively interest in the exposition. When Con- gress was asked to make an appropriation for a Government display at "Atlanta, the Illinois delegation, with one exception, stood nobly by the South. The interest manifested by the World’s Fair city was sincerely apprecigted here, and long be- fore the exposition plans were completed it was decided that there should be a Chicago day. The merchants and railroad men of the West saw an opportunity to break into the South in a commercial way, and heartily and substantially backed up the idea of sending a strong representa- tion to Georgia. To-day the advance guard of the move- ment reached here, Promirent citizens went up to Marietta, twenty miles out, at the foot of the famous battle-field moun- tain, Kennessaw, and there met the train bearing Governor Altgeld, Mayor Swift, Ferdinand Peck and other representatives of Illinois and Chicago. olonel John Chandler of the Fifth Georgia Regiment, speaking for Governor Atkinson, said that he was commissioned to turn Georgia and Atlanta over to the visitors. “The army and navy, the homes and hearts of Georgia, are yours,” he said. He reterred to the friendship which has sprung up between ‘‘the Chicago of the South and the Atlanta of the West,” and declared that the ties would grow stronger and closer, and that the people of the two sections would get nearer to each other, both socially and commercially.. Colonel Turner of the First fllinois Regi- mentresponded. Speeches were also made b{A Governor Altgeld, F. W. Peck of Illinois and Mayor King and H. H. Caba- niss of Atlanta. During the afternoon the visitors re- ceived many callers and were taken in charge by the Atlantans, who showed them over the city. - The air was much cooler than it had been for several days past, but it was balmy for the Chicagoans. - To-morrow will be Illinois day at the exposition. Governor Altgeld, Mayor Swift and their party were escorted to the grounds by Governor Atkins, Mayor King and the exposition directors. The two Governors, the two Mayors, President ‘Woodson of {he Atlanta Chamber of Com- merce, President Peck of the Chicago Southern States Association and L. L. Knight of Atlanta will speak in the Audi- torium. 5 The World’s Fair directors will arrive to-morrow night on a special train, They are guests of Stuyvesant Fisn, president of the Illinois Central Railroad. The Illinois and Atlanta military will be reviewed after the speaking. TO ATLANTA ON A SPECIAL. Cleveland Manufacturers to Visit the Cotton States Exposition. CLEVELAND, Omm, Nov. 10.—Nine palace car coaches will leave Cleveland Tuesday noon on the Big Four road bound for Atlanta, with 350 prominent Cleveland men, representing all the large manufacturing and commercial interests of this city. Mayor McKisson and mem- bers of his cabinet, with other gentlemen, prominently identified with Northern Ohio polities, will also make the trip. The main object of the trip is to bring about a more friendly relation and closer commercial connection between this city and the south. The train will arrive in Atlanta at 1 o’clock Wednesday noon. R — NO HOPE FOR HAYWARD. The Slayer of Catherine Ging Denied a New Trial. CHICAGO, ILL., Nov. 10.—A special to a morning paper from Minneapolis says: The Supreme Court has affirmed the de- cision of Judge Smith of the District Court, who refused to grant Harry Hay- ward, convicted of the murder of Miss Catherine Ging on December 3 last, a new trial. Judge Canty is at work upon the opinion which will accompany the de- cision when it is handed down from the Supreme Court. STOLLI NOT NOTIFIED Unaware That He Is Soon to Be Relieved of His Post in This Country. Pending Direct Notification by Pope Leo, the Apostolic Delegate Is Silent. WASHINGTON, D. Nov. 10.—Mgr. Satolli, the Apostolic Delegate, had an unusual number of callers at his residence | to-day and this evening, who came to see bim regarding the announcement in this morning’s New York Herald that he was soon to be relievea of his post here by Mgr. Laurenzelli, at present the Papal representative in Holland. ‘‘Archbishop Satolli is in totalignorance of the matter outside of this publication,” said Monsignor Sbaretti of the delegation. ‘‘He has not received any word from the Vatican touching the subject, and conse- quently can neither deny nor confirm the report. The whole question rests with the holy father, and in case he should see fit to make a change in his representative to this country it would be his right to do so. ‘When he shall recall Monsignor Satolli the latter will go without delay. We do not, however, and will not make inqui- ries of the holy see touching such matters. Then, you will see, we are always in igno- rance of the action of the Pope until we are notified by him, and we have not been in this case.” Monsignor Sbaretti regards the proposed successor as an eminent ecclesiastic, and he has nothing but praise to say of him. He was asked if he would tell when Mon- signor Satolli intended to visit Rome, and his reply was: “When Pope Leo XIII sends for him.” LONDON, ExG., Nov. 10.—The Standard will to-morrow publish a dispateh from Rome saying that the Pope’s entourage has observed during the past few days that his holiness has very perceptibly broken down and that he is suffering. He himself says that his vital powers are waning. S g7 iy #“SOUND-MONEY” DEMOCRATS. Missouri Bourbons Protest Against an Early Convention. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 10.—A meeting of the “sound-money’’ Democrats irom every Congressional district in Missouri washeld yesterday afternoon. A protest against an early convention to select delegates to the National Convention was made, and a re- quest to the State Central Committee to propound a discussion upon the silver issue was formulated and signed by all in attendance. It was agreed that Demo- cratic supremacy in the State was menaced by the free silver movement, and that the best means of counteracting that influence was to allow ample time for discussion prior to the convention. The free silver men on the other hand desire an early convention, as in the pres- ent temper of the majority a free silver resolution would be adopted and delegates to the National Convention would be in- structed to vote for free silver. The resolution adopted last night will be presented to State Chairman Maffit to- morrow. The meeting was presided over by ex-Governor Francis and was repre- sentative of every section of the State. . DECIDE UPON A STRIKE. Tron-Workers for a Pittsburg Firm Will Leave Their Posts. PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov.10.—At a special meeting of the Structural Iron-workers’ Union, held last night, the grievances of the men employed by Buchanan & Co., contractors, received consideration, and it was decided to order a strike of all men employed by this firm. This action means that several hundred men will not go to work to-morrow morning, and work on several large buildings in process of con- struction will cease. The firm is one of the leading ones in the Pittsburg district, and has not yet signed the workers’ scale, although re- quested several times to do so. S e Embezzler Bergstrom Arrested. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 10.—Detective Quinn last night arrested John Victor Bergstrom, who was ticket agent in the general office of the Great Northern Rail- road at St. Paul until September 30 last, at which time he disappearea and a shortage of several thousand doliars was found in his accounts. Bergstrom acknowledged his identity and confessed stealing the money. Since leaving St. Paul he has been in Sweden, and arrived in New York on Saturday. foei ST Ran Into & Freight Train. LONDON, Exg., Nov. 10.—The Scotch express train on the Great Northern Rail- ‘way to-day struck a freight train that was partly on a siding at St. Neots, in Hunt- ingdonshire. The last cars of the express train were thrown from the track. One person was killed and five injured. e re s Foundered in the Elbe. HAMBURG, GERMANY, Nov. 10.—A se- vere northwest gale prevailed here last night. Several barges foundered in the Elbe. No lives were lost. TOLD BY THE PORTE, Detailed Account of the Recent Rioting in Turkey. UPRISING OF MADMEN. Armenians Claimed to Have Been the Aggressors in the Massacres. ATTACK UPON MUSSULMANS., The Sultan’s Efforts to Check the Mob by Pacific Measures Were Unavailing. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.—The Turkish legation has received from the Porte an account of the recent Armenian riots at Constantinople. It is in part as follows: “‘Of the different projects that the Ar- menian revolutionary committee contem- plated, that of creating Wisturbances in the capital of the empire is not the least audacious. It was by causing the Sublime Porte to be attacked by a few thousand in- dividuals that the movement was to com- mence. The police were informed in time and naturally solicited the good offices of the Armenian Patriarch to prevent the outbreak. The Patriarch contented him- self by declining all responsibility and de- claring the impossibility of his acting in the matter. Thus, their preventive means having failed, the police were oblized to take all sorts of measures, in view of the eVents which were expected to take place on Monday, 3eptember 30 On the day aforementioned the leaders of the revolutionary party, attended by their followers to the number of some 10,000, assembled in the Armenian patri- archal basilica. At the completion of the religious ceremonies the patriarch who had attended the function, proceeded to the patriarchal residence, attend- ed by several of the clergy and fol- lowed by the multitude which had as- sembled in the church. A young girl who stood near the patriarch gave the signal for the breaking out of the mob, by mak- ing a seditious speech. The bells of the church were rung with unaccustomed violence and shots were heard. ‘At these signals the mob proceeded to advance, its number being constantly ang- mented along the line of march. The police agents, who encountered the rioters, commanded in vain that they should dis- perse, and cause their pretended petition to be properly presented and submitted Ly delegates, whom they might select from their own number. They paid no heed to their remonstrances, and displayed their poinards and revolvers, with which they were armed, with the cry oi “Hurrab for Armenia,” and finally reached the Nouri Osmani quarters and those of the Tavouk Bazaar, where they fired upon the police who commanded them to disperse. The police acted in moderation, according to their orders, and endeavored to disperse the mob and arrest the ringleaders. The mob attacked irrespectively the police and inoffensive pedestrians, crying loudly as they did so to the Mussulmans that the day of their destruction had at last dawned. ‘‘One dead and several wounded among the policeand private individuals were the victims of these madmen. The police finally succeeded in dispersing them and making a number of arrests. ““The leaders, ho wever, managed to as- semble again in the patriarchal basilica and were rejoined by a number of their followers. They continued the insurrec- tion, insulting the Mussulmans of the neighboring quarters and firing pistol shots. Shots were fired from the Arme- nian patriarchal basilica it<elf and from at least a dozen houses inhabited by Arme- nians. “In view of the obstinacy of the rioters the Prefect of Police waited in person the following day upon the Armenian patri- arch at the patriarchal residence. The vrelate, however, declined to receive him, giving as an excuse a pretended illness and sent to receive hin two members of the council. ““But, unfortunately, the ends of the pre- fect, which consisted in obtaining the dis- persion of the rioters through the counsels of the patriarch, were not obtained, not- withstanding a second visit during the succeeding night and the formal promise held out by the command of the authori- ties not to act severely toward those who had been the victims of their faith. *‘The patriarch, while pretending to ad- vise the leaders of the movement to a prompt disbandoning, again insisted on the entire impotency of his counsels. If one wishes additional proof of the mutin- ous designs of the rioters and of the en- couraging attitude of the ecclesiastical au- thorities, one has but to call the attention to the testimony of a certain Agop, a mem- ber of the ‘Hintehaguiste’ committee, and who, being arrested, admitted that the reuolutionary committees had determ ined to create trouble at Constantinopie by attacking the Mussulman quarters and killing all the Mussulmans they encoun- tered. The Armenians in the service of the Tmperial Government were to be the first victims. The deposition was con- firmed by those of Mihran and Hampar- soun, who were arrested the day after the riots for having acted as intermediaries between the chiefs of the movement, who held themselves in the Armenian patri- archal basilica, and those of their followers who were without. First Agop stated that in giving them instructions one of the chiefs of the committee had said to them: * ‘If our question 1s not decided we will, in a month, rise in force against the Gov- ernment. Then we will also distribute weapons. We will fall on the Mussulmans we encounter and we will kill them.’ “He then added that their ‘supreme efforts would be directed toward exter- minating the agents of the secret police, in attacking in a mass the Sublime Porte and the other departments of state, and, after having killed all public functionaries, in attacking the Mussulman quarters, with a view of thus enforcing a realization of their designs. “Theé patriarch does nothing but cause to be circulated long lists of deaths, en- tirely fantastic and imaginary, desiring thereby, for the greater advarcement of his cause, to make it appear that the num- ber of deaths has been much greater than that established by the official inquests.” Healy Buys a Newspaper. LONDON, Exe., Nov. 10. — Timothy Healy, M.P.,'who, it is generally believed, will shortly be dropped by the Anti-Par- nellite party, has acquired the Cork Her- ald, which has hitherto been an organ of the Parnellites. e g e CONSECRATED FIFTY YEARS AGO. Golden Jubilee of a St. Louis Catholic Church Celebrated. ST. LOULS, Mo., Nov. 10.—Just fifty years ago the Church of St.Vincent de Paul of this city was consecrated, and to- day the golden jubilee was celebrated with solemn and impressive ceremonies. The church had been elaborately decorated with flowers and evergreens, and to pre- vent an unseemly rush for seats admis- sion was had only by card of invitation. The musical features of the religious ceremonial were directed by Professor A. C. Elmer, the double quartet and grand chorus being strengthened by a full or- chestra and’ the e‘r'ecmc church organ. Pontifical mass was celebrated at 10:30 A. M. by Archbishep John J. Kain, sup- ported by the local clergy, assistant priests, deacons and master of ceremonies. The sermon was preached by Archbishop P. J. Ryan of Philadelphia.” Archbishop Ire- land of St. Paul also took part in the cere- mony. At 7:30 o’clock this evening there were solemn pontifical vespers by Right Rev. J. J. Jansen, Bishop of Belleville. The ser- mon in the evening was in German, deliv- ered by Right Rev. Frowin Conrad, O. S. B. . HANGED BY 4 MOB. 4 Brutal Negro Lynched After Making a Confession. SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 10.—A Morning News special from Homerville, Ga., says: Lewis Jefferson, the negro who last Tuesday night attacked little Miss Wilson Freebet, after having been pursued by a determined posse, was captured and placed in jail. He made a full and complete con- fession and said that he had committed more than one similar offense before. While he was being taken yesterday afternoon before the Magistrate at Argyle for a committal trial, the officer, in going through a thicket near town, was over- powered and the culprit hanged and rid- dled by bullets. FAST UPON THE SHORE, Efforts to Float the Steamer Puritan Have Proved Unsuccessful. The Combined Strength of Three Tugs Fails to Dislodge the Vessel. NEW LONDON, Coxx., Nov. 10.—The steamer Puritan of the Fall River line is held bard and fast on shore at Great Gull Island, where she went ashore at 3 o’clock Saturday morning. She lies just where she struck, notwithstanding the combined efforts of three powerful tugs and two steamers of the Fall River line—the City of Brockton and the City of Taunton— which had imisense hawsers out to her to-day. The City of Brockton and the City of Taunton, two of Captain Scott’s tugs and a tug .of the Chapman Wrecking Company pulled long and hard at the Puritan, but she would not yield to their combined ef- forts and lies as firmly aground as when she struck. A fierce sea was running all last night, and the wind, which had been on the southern board during the preva- lence of the fog, shifted a little in shore. The wreckers believe that she is lying in 1o worse condition to-night than when she went on, and a hope is entertained that she may be saved. Superintendent Gardiner and Captain Scott stuck by the vessel from the hour they arrived there, until to-night, when they came to this city. Captain Davis of the Puritan and his crew are aboard the steamer and will stay until she comes off, or until itis apparent that there is no chance of saving the vessel. The former result is confidently hoped for. All the freight on the Puritan was taken off and forwarded to Stonington for shipment to destination. At high tide last night tugs tried to move the Puritan but she would not stir an inch and the effort was abandoned. The steamer’s condition was improved some- what by running big anchors poff the boat so that they can be “heaved” on and the steamer kept from swinging further in shore. The sea pounds her at the stern and lashes her at the sides. Rieatiss il PASSENGERS TAKEN ASHORE. No Effort ¥et Made to Float the Steamer Irawaddie. ASBURY PARK, N. J., Nov. 10.—It was expected that an effort would be made to float the steamer Irawaddie, ashore here, at flood tide, but after waiting till nearly 2 o’clock it was learned that no move would be made at that time to take the vessel off. Captain Wardell and a picked crew went out to the steamer and found everything all right aboard the vessel, but she was rocking badly and making for herself a cradle of sand. The strong south current carried the vessel ahead about 100 yards during the might. Sheis also about ten feet further shoreward than when she struck. This morning a~tug took off the pas- sengers and they were sent to New York. =0 g e STANFORD CASE APPEAL. Attorney-General Harmon Will Ask for an Early Consideration by the Supreme Court. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 10.—The Supreme Court of the United States will Teconvene to-morrow after a regess of ten days. When court adjourned on the afternoon of the 1st inst. there were sixty- eight cases under advisement, some of them having been carried over from last year. Itisexpected that opinions will be delivered to-morrow in about fifteen cases, ‘What they are cannot, of course, be stated, The court will be asked by the Attorney- General to-morrow to advance for an early hearing the appeal of the Government from the decision of Judge Ross in favor of Mrs. Stanford in the case against the estate of the late Senator Stanford, where the United States, under theé laws of Cali- fornia, seeks to establish the liability of the estate for about $15,000,000, of the debt due the Government by the Central Pacific Railroad Company, of which Senator Stan- ford was a stockholder to that amount. 2 e HELD IN HONDURAS. Forger Ward Will Be Brought Back to Stand Trial. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.—The Attorney-General of Tennessee and G. (. Matthews of the Memphis Commercia] Appeal arrived in this city this morning and will have an interview to-morrow with Secretary Olney rezarding the arrange- ments for the extraditing of Ward, the fugitive Memphis forger, who is under ar. rest by the authorities of Honduras. Although the United States has no ex- tradition treatg with that country, the au- thorities seized Ward and are hoiding him to await the arrival of the necessary papers, These will be presented to the Secretary of State to-morrow and probably an agent of the Government wirl be sent to Hon- duras with them. HURLED YARDS AWAY, Four Men Killed by the Blowing Up of an Engine. DEATH IN AWFUL FORM. Torn and Mutilated Bodies De-| nuded by the Terrific Explosion. ONE THROWN UPON THE TRACK. Cast Before the Unchecked Train and Ground Beneath the Wheels. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 10.—A special dispatch to the Recorder from Warwick, N. Y., says: With an awful roar the Lehigh and Hudson engine No. 10 blew up to-day and caused the death of four men. The dead | are: Herbert Beetner, the fireman, of Easton; William Cooper, the engineer, of Philadelphia; Martin O'Neill, conductor, of Belvidere; and James L. Sloan, a brake- man, of Phillipsbarg. The force of the explosion was so great that the boiler was thrown from the trucks, but the laiter remained on the | rails. The train, consisting of thirty cars, although it was running on a down grade, 1 was stopped by the brakemen, but not until it had run fully a mile and a half. | The victims of the accident were hurled | in all directions; their clothing was stripped from their bodies and the tattered | garments fell among the branches of trees along the tracks, where they remained hanging. The first body found was Cooper’s. It was pinioned under the | shattered boiler. He had been crushed to death by the mass of iron and steel. O’Neiil had been biown upon the rails‘ and run over by the train, his body cut to | pieces and otherwise horribly mutilated, | while Sloane was hanging unconscious on | a barbed-wire fence, fifty feet away. He | lived only a few minutes, dying in great | agony. | Fireman Beetner was blown out of the | cab and landed in an open field twenty yards from the scene of theexplosion. His | coat, vest and shirt were torn from his | back, and when found by the rescuing | party he was wandering in a dazed condi- | tion. He died soon afterward. | | The cause of the disaster is supposed to have been due to low water. —_— | DEATH IN A WRECK. | Collision Caused by a Disobeying of | Train Orders. i NASHVILLE, Tex~., Nov. 10.—One man | was killed and another fatally injured by a collision of trainsa half mile south of Franklin to-night about 10 o’clock. The collision was caused by a freight train at- tempting to run into Franklin, when it | had been ordered to wait at West Harpeth, | six miles south. The passenger train left | Franklin’ on time and the collision re- sulted. Fireman Love, on the passenger, was killed and buried under the wreck. En- | gineer Ed Corbett had an arm crushed | and is fatally injured. None of the passen- gers were injured and none of the freight crew were hurt. ARMY DOCTORS AT WAR, Charges and Counter - Charges That Will Result in a Court-Martial. Major White and Captain Ewing Open Hostilities at Jefferson Barracks. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 10.—The military community at Jefferson Barracks was thrown into excitement yesterday by the disclosures of counter-charges involving Major Robert H. White and Captain C. B. Ewing. Major White is the ranking sur: geon at the post and Captain Ewing has been engaged on special medical duty. The strained relations that have long ex- isted between the two doctors terminated | in a rupture two weeks ago. | Captain Ewing made a written request for permission to be absent from the post several evenings each week, giving asa rea- son a desire to attend a course of lectures in St. Louis. Major White indorsed the application as follows: **Yes, let Captain Ewing go. He is of no account, anyhow. He is of no assistance tome. Heisof no account asa doctor.

You are no good doctor yourself. You need lectures badly. The officers and their families are always eager for my services. Iam a good doctor and an bonest man.

NELLIE BLY IN COURT. The Detective Who Had Followed Her Dis- charged by the Committing Magistrate. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 10.—Mrs. Robert Seaman, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Cochrane, and who wauvbest known by her nom de plume of “Nellie Bly,” appeared in the Jefierso'n Market Court to-day as complainant against Harry Hanson, whom she charged with annoy- ing her Saturday night by following her in a cab wherever she went. X Hanson was arrested last night and locked up on a charge of disorderly con- duct, but was bailed out an hour later by Mr. Seaman, who declared that the arrest was the result of a mistake. Mrs. Seaman in court to-day said for the last three weeks he husband, who, she claims, is for some unknown reason jeal- ous of her, has been having her followod by three men, one of whom is Hanson. After hearing the evidence, Magistrate Mott decided that the defendant had not | been gnilty of an illegal act and dis- charged him. Mr. Seaman did not appear in court. HOPE FOR CHICAGO'S AILING. Denver’s Healer to Remove to the World’'s Fair City. DENVER, Coro., Nov.10.—On the 16th inst. Francis Schlatter, the healer, will end his public work in Denver and after a rest will depart for Chicago. He began his out- door work on the 16th of September and every day since, excepting Sundays, he has been kept busy every moment. Not only all classes of people from the city have flocked to him, but they have come from all parts of the State and from many more distant points. Reports of many cures have continually peen made and now his believers can be numbered by the thou- sands. .Schlatter has steadfastly refused all money gifts, and no accident, scandal or disturvance bas occurred during his stay in the city. He has acquired a National reputation, but no amount of attention seems to change him, and he continues to be the seme simple-minded, ignorant man be was when he arrived out of the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico. e e California Fruit in New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 10.—Only ten carloads of California fruit were received here last week, against sixteen cars the preceding week. Most of the fruit con- grapes, which continued to ar- rive in bad order, so that the average price was low. Good prices were realized for choice sound grapes, double crates of To- kays selling for from $3 50 to $4, and Corn- ichons for from $3 to $3 25. There were no receipts of pears, but there were large sales from the stocks in cold-storage ware- houses at good prices, winter Nellis pears selling as high as $4 a box. o Henry Woerz Pensioned.
