THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1896 - s BRYANS LUNES HOLD 00T WeLL Endeavoring to Break His Own Record at Making Speeches. Delivers Twenty-Five Orations During a Day’s Travels in Michigan. CROWD3 GATHER TO SEE EHIM. A'though the Nebraskan Grows Hoarse There Is No Break in His Talking. LANSING, Micr., Oct. 16.—More than 850 miles of travel by a roundabout way from Grand Rapids brought William J. | Bryan to Lansing to-night to receive a series of cvations greater than at any| single place at which’ he stopped during the day with the exception of Jackson. His journey lay through the thickly pop- ulated portion of Michigan, the richest agricuitural district, and when he said good-night to his fifth audience here the attendance record of his campaign for a single day had been broken. He did mot quite reach his highest figure in the num- ber of speeches delivered between his ris- ing and retiring hours, but came within two of it. On his trip from Chicago to Pittsburg in August, en route to attend the Madison-square notification meeting in New York, he .spoke twenty-seven times. To-day he added twenty-five speeches to his list. They were delivered at Muskegon, Holland, Fennville, Bangor, Hartford, Watervliet, Ann Arbor, Niles, Dowagiac, Decatur, Lawton, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Marshall, Albion, Jackson (two), Rives Junction, Leslie, Mason and Lansing (three). Most of these speeches were longer than any of those he gave while making the | trip to the notification meeiing. At nearly every place where Mr. Bryan’s special | train stopped there were big crowds. Ex- cursionists came by train to all the larger towns. Farming peovle drove into the speaking places in all mauner of vehicles. Many people brought flowers to present to the nominee and his wife, and thev were fairly overwhelmed with roses, chrysan- themums and other varieties. At several points in the vicinity of Kalamazoo gigantic bunches of celery, surrounded by fragrant_hothouse blooms, were sent to them. McKinley badges were not nearly so numerouns among Mr. Bryan’s audiences as they were yesteraay. In fact, they were conspicuous only at a | few of the stops. The enthusiasm, too, was heartier than then. At some places the people made the wildest effort to get near the candidate in the hope of shaking hands with him, and many saffered in the crushes. Fortunately, the day passed without serious accident. Once only did the candidate have a nar- row escape from physical injury. This was at Albion when the platiorm from which he was speaking gave way with a crash sending the forty or fifty peovle on it to the ground. Mr. Bryan lighted on his feetand resumed his remarks from a baggage truck.. Mr, Bryan began the day at Muskegon in splendid voice, but it be- came husky before he reached Lansing. His speeches, as a rule, contained nothing not said by him before, except that he criticised William D. Bynum and threw a dart_at Chairman Lauterbach of the New York County Republican Commit- tee, So dense were the people packed in the public square and Liberty square in Jack- son t.is evening that Mr. Bryan was un- able to reach the stand from which he was expected to speak. It was justgrowing dark when his train reached tue Michigan Central depot. The streets were crowded with Jacksonites and excursionists, and the four white horses that drew the car- riages in which Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were seated were made to go through the jam only with the greatest difficulty. The solid mass of humanity as. the public square was impregnable against the sallies of the police. No entrance could be ob- tained for the candidate’s carriage. Finally the attempts to make a passage- way to the siand were abandoned ana Mr, Bryan stood up in the vehicle and made a short speecti. Estimates of the size o the audienge differ widely, but it was certainly larger than any addressed previously dur- inz the day by Mr. Bryan. It comprised many workingmen just from their shops. Going to Liberty square the four whites brouzht up against anotuer bulwark of human beings, and again it was impos- sibie for the candidate to reach the speak- er’s stand, and he was accordingly obliged to deliver Lis second speech from the car- riage, Leaving Jackson at 5:40 o’clock, Mr. Bryan addressed a fair-sized erowd at Leslie and a bigger one at Mason, and reached Lansing at 7 o’clock. Excursion- ists from Grand Rapids, Detroit, Battle Creek, Juckson, Ann Arhor, Hilisdale and many other places came to Lansing to-day to hear Mr. Bryan, and the capital city was full of visitors when he arrived at 7 o'clock. Flambeau clubs, on horses and afoot, escorted him from the train to Mead’s Hall, where he addressed a meet- ing exclusively for women. The streets were crowded, and intense enthusiasm was displayed as Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, escorted by three ex-Mayors of Lansing, Messrs. Buck, Warner and John- #on, proceeded to the hall. The second speech was delivered from .a canopied platiorm in Capitol square, Ten thousand peoEle were there when he came, but his husky voice could not reach very far and large numbeérs went away before he con- cluded to get places of vantage in front ef the Downey House, from the brilliantly lighted balcony of which he addiessed an audience equal in numbers to that on the Capitol grounds. Farmers, who came on wagons and horseback, and excursionists brought by trains composed a large part of bosh gatherings. Mr. Bryan’s voice sounded clearer from Lis commanding position on the Downey baicony and his remarks were punctured by great cheering. Then he went to the armory, a spacious building, and spoke to those packed within its walls, and concluded the evening at a big tent, which was also crowded. There was little if anything new in Mr. Bryan's Lansing speeches. At the Downey House he urged his hearers who were iu favor of free silver not to stdy away from the polls on election day, because the result might depend on the electoral vote of one State. Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr. Bryan's spe- cial train pulled out for St. Johns, where he will begin his speech-making to-mor- TOW. —ine THEY CLAIM I1LLINOIS. But Jones and His Friends May Have a Rude Awakening Newt Month. - CHICAGO, I, Oct. 16.—Candidate Bryan will leave Bellaire, Ohio, next Tues- day and run on the Pittsburg and Cleve- land raitroad to Youngstown, speaking en route, and from there he will go to San- dusky, where a meeting will be held that night. German-American citizens- of Chicago, { Vice-Chairman who desire the re-election of Altgeld, irre- spective of their Presidential choice, have addressed a request to the Governor to nave him speak to them particularly, and the Governor has consented to deliver an address to the German voters at the Auditorium next Tuesday. It will be purely an ?ngld meeting, and their ex- clusiveness does not meet with the ap- proval of the D:moeratic National Com- mittee or other silver and Bryan workers, when they consider that next week has been selected for a general attack cn the McKinley column in Cook County. I. N. Btevens, chairman of the silver party committee, to-day called a meeting of silver Repub. icans for the night follow- ing Governor Altgeld’s addressin Central Mus ¢ Hall, to be addressed exclusively by silver Republicans, There will be no Altgeld speakers there. Benator Teller called on Senator Jomes to-day, and made a speech in Englewood to-night. He has been stumping Iilinois, and said he had made the conditions among the Republicans a special study. He declared the majority for Bryan in Illinois would be little short of an avalanche. The two Senators comvared notes on the Iilinois situation, and Chair- man Jones said: “It is ridiculous to presume the Repub- licaus have the slightest grounds fus claim- ing this State.” Iam conservative in stating that Illinois is absolutely safe for Brran by 90,000 majority.” B ECKLES ON A TOUA. Doing Al He Can to Help Out National Democratic Party. CHICAGO, Irn, Oct. 16.—James H. Eckles, Comptroller of the Currency, was a visitor at the. National Democratio party’s headquarters to-day. He left for Outawa, 1., his home, and addressed a meeting of Palmer Democrats in that city to-night. He speaks at Peru, Ill, to- morrow night and at Danville Monday. Hon. Don. M. Dickinson spent several hours at headquarters conferring with Hopkins and Treasurer Frenzel. He has secured a large fund for campaign purposes in_Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Chairman Bynum returned to headquarters from Jackson, Mich., and went to Dowagiac, Mich., to speak. He will speak at Oshkosh, Wis,, October 23, instead of at St. Paul, where Palmer and ‘Buckner have a meeting. Governor Flower of New York will reach Chicago next Sunuay from a trip ihrough Iilinois, Minnesota and Indiana. Letters received here state that the New Yorker bas made effective speeches every- where, especially in the agricultural com- munities. the A DEMOCRAZ, NOT A POPULIST. Sheerin Squarely Bolts the Bryan and Sewall Ticket. LOGANSPORT, Isp., Oct. 16.—Hon. Simon P. Sheerin, secretary of the Demo- cratic National Committee and for twenty years secretary of the Indiana executive committee, squarely bolts the Bryan ana | SBewali ticket in a statement which he gave to the United Associated Presses to- day. He declared the action of the In- diana Democratic Committee in substi- tuting five Populist electors for duly nominated Democratic electors to be “‘the most infamous political proceeding ever anemrl»;ed in this State; in violation of every Democratic principle and practice,” He gives reasons for deciding not to vote for Bryan and Sewall, saying be is a Democrat and not a Populist. He de- nounces the fusion deal as “disgustingly immoral’”’ and an outrage and a iraud on the Democracy of Indiana. He accnses Mr. Bryan of insulting the dignity and manhood of all American wage-earners. Pl s Yeanad No Further Attempts at Fusion. RALEIGH, N.C., Oct.16.—The Demo- cratic State Committee announces that no further preparations for fusion will be raade to the Povulists, and that every- thing will stand as it is.

RICHES LEFT (¥ A TRUNK Railroad Bonds and Deeds to Valuable Prop:rty Security for a Board Bill. Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Coliateral Now Without en Owaner, CHICAGO, Irm., Oct. 16.—The proprie- tor of the: Saratoga Hotel in opening & trunk left as security for an unpaid board bill yesterday found a package of railroad bonds and deeds to real estate in Iowa, Missouri and. South Dakota, valued at $25,000. The trunk was the property of a racehorse. man who gave his name as George Craft and was left st the hotel shortly after the Worid’s Fair. The clerk of the hotel has heard from Craft several times during this time, the last intelli- gence coming from Cincinnati three months ago, each letter cautioning the clerk to take good care of thé trunk. The bonds were bound up in a package addressed ‘‘Capbell and Schooicraft,’”” but were made out in the name of J. Lawrence Schooleraft. The coupons have not been clipped since 1874. In the package was found a slip of pape: bearing the address *‘Mrs. Schoolcraft and Mrs. Beatty, Rich- mond, Va.” Chief Badenoch, in whoss custody the package was placed, tele- graphed the chief of police at Richmond regarding the two women, and to-night received a reply that full information would be sent by mail.

PR isiny Gigantic Peculations. 8T. JOHNS, N. F., Oct. 16.—~Investiga- tion into the recent robbery at the cus- tom-house leads the police to believe that a gigantio svsiem of peculation has been practiced. The newspapers demand that the matter be probed to the bottom and urge the Government to procure the services of a British customs expert to thoroughly investigate the buoks of the department and methods oi doing busi- ness. The whole city is shocked at the revelations, which, it is believed surpass past smuggling scandals. —— Major Dewitt’s Mission. : WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 16.—Major Colin Dewitt of the United States army upon being relieved will represent the medical department of the army at the second Pan-American Medical Jon:rou, to be held in the City of Mexico November 16 to 19, 1896. b S Sty Treasury Goid Reserve.

The day’s withdrawals at New York were $726,200, The Populist | CARLISLE SPEAKS 0 WAGE-EARNERS. Two Hundred Call Upon the Secretary at the Treasury Building. They Are Told in Plain Words Why Free Silver Coinage Is Not Desired. WILL ALL VOTE FOR M'KINLEY Cautioned Not to Be Ensnared by the Vaporings of a Reckless Agitator. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 16.—The ‘Wage-earners’ Patriotic League of Mary- land to the number of 200 called on Sec- retary Carlisle at the treasury to invite him to address thém in Baltimore at his convenience. The Secretary received the delegation on the south steps of the treas- ury, where H. K. L. Johuson, the leader ot the delegation, made an address, in which he said they were Cleveland and Carlisle Democrats who proposed to vote for McKinley as the representative of honest money. Posimaster Warfield of Baltimore accompanied the delegation. Mr. Cariisle mounted a chair, and as he did so some one called out, “Tell the truth!” He promptly answered, “I will try to.”” Then he said: Gentlemen, I am very much obliged to you for this visit, and very sorry thatit 1s not in my power to comply with the reqnest which you have come here to make. The reasons why Iam notable todo so I think are tolerably well understood by the public. My business bas been so arranged as to permit me to make & few speeches in my own State, but under the circumstances it would not be possibie to go elsewhere, 1 cannot therefore accept your invitation to go to Baltimore, but one or two things have been suggested by the address just made about which I would like to say a very few words to you while you are here. f there is a laboring man in the United States who really believes that the money he 1s_new receiying for his wages is 100 good for him, that it is buyin too much food, 100 much clothing for himself and his family. or that is payingrentfora better house than he and his family ought to live in, it 18 his duty to vote for tne free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. [Cheers.] If thereisany laboring man in the United States who has saved money out of his earnings and deposited it in & savings bank or building association or paid it on & policy of insurance for the benefit of his fam- ily and who desires to have it paid back to him in a currency worth about half as much as the money he peid out, he also ought to vote for the free and unlimited coinage of sil- ver, for that will give him exactly what he wants. On the other hand every man in the United States, whether he works for wages or not, who wants to preserve the value of what he has already accumulated and to insure the value of what he may hereaiter receive, ought to vote against the free and unlimited coinage of silver and for the maintenance of a sound and stable currency in thiscountry. [Applause.] While every man who works ior wages Or gets a fixed compensation for his services must be interested in the result of the pending cone test, those who work for railroad compenies and other transportation sompanies, many of whom reside in your eity and some of whom are perhaps heré, have & special interest in toe quesiion involved, because their em- ployers are confronted by a_situation which impossible 10 80 increase wages as to te for the diminished purchasing- f the money in which wages must be power paia if the policy of free coinage ot silver at 16 | 10 1 is adopted. These companies cannot increase wages un- less they can increase the receipts from their business; they cannot increase the receipts from their business unless they can increase ihe charges for carrying freight and passen- gers, ap i if they shou'd attempt to advance the churges for carrying freight and passen- gers it is safe to say that the very men, L very people who are now so clamorous for the freé coinage of silver would be the first to pro- test against it and to demand legisiation to prokibit it in all cases where such legislation 18 not already existing. The man, therefore, who works for & transportation <ompany would find himself the heipless vicum of a policy which diminished the _purchasing power of his wages about one-halt and com- pelled him to work on and on for the same number of dollars he received beiore, thus de- alxx;oy(ug all hope of improvement of his con- ion. Bui, gentlemen, the laboring men have their fate in their own hands. They have the power 10 protect wages against depreciation and to protect their couniry against financial dis- turbances and ruin, and if they are as intelli- geut, as patriotic, as I believe them to be, they Will’ so exercise their power that no reckless agitator will hereafter aare 10 approach them in behalif of his wild and revolutionary scheme of finance und civil government, [Applause,] Now, gentlemen, I thank you again for tnis visit, end I tender to each and every one of you my best wishes for his prosperity ih whate ever calling he may hereafter be engaged, Then the Becretary retired, amid ap- plause.

They Shoot a Saloon-Keeper at Galena, S Rob the Cash-Drawer and Taks to the Woods. GALENA, IrL, Oct. 16.—Bandits who entered Bauer’s saloon last evening, shoot- ing the proprietor and-robbing the money- drawer, are still at large, notwithstanding thatsearching parties have been at work since the perpetration of the deed. It was about 5 o’clock last evening when two men entered the saloon and at once com- menced ridding the place of its customers by flourishing revolvers. A few shots were fired into the air and the men left immediately. Apvroaching Mr. Bauer they command- ed him to throw up his hands, one bandit striking bim on the head, while the other shot a bullet into his side near the heart. The money-drawer Wwas then opened and the money taken. The shoot- ing attracted the aitention of some of ths neighbors, but so guick were the move- ments of the robbers that before any one reached the saloon they had started out through a rear door. Early this morning a large party startea out armed with rifles. Farmers have joined the posse, and nearly 300 have spent the day searching the woods, but without result, If they are caught they will undoubtedly be lynched. JOHN IMBODEN'S CRIMES Kills His Invalid Brother, Sister and an Aged Man on a Missouri Farm. Infuriated by Blood the Fiendish Youth Tries to :Slay the Who'e Family. PIEDMONT, Mo., Oct. 16,—News has been received here of one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed in this part of the State. John imboden, a young maa of 23 years of age, killed his sister, his brother and an old man who made his home with the Imbodens. The Imbodens lived on Logans Creek in Reynolds County, near the town of Elling. ton, which was formerly known as Barnes- ville. Young Imboden was a man of violent nature and was greatly feared and disliked in the neighborhood. Last May his wife and his two little daughters- died suddenly. It was suspected at the time that they had been poisoned, but nothing was ever done in the matter. Since his recent crime it is believed now that there can be no doubt that the three were mur- dered. On Wednesday afternoon Imboden quarreled with his 15-year-old sister, and in a fit of uncontrollable anger brained her with an ax he was using at the time. Jacob Wihelm, an old man liv- ing with the Imbodens, saw the crime committed and tried to save the girl; but only shared her fate, for the infuriated man turned on him, and crushed his head with the weapon he had just used on the defenseless girl. ¢ y Then, firenzied by his bloody work, youdg Imboden rushed into the house seexing more victims. He found his 20.year-old brother sick in bed, and without hesitation murdered him. He struck him on the head with the ax, and then in fiendish glee hacked his body into fragments. He then attacked his two younger sis- ters, but the terrifiea girls fled from the house and ran to where their father was at work in a cornfield 300 yerds away from the house. He at once spread the news among the neighbors and asked for help to secure his son, A constable quickly gathered a posse and started to search for the murderer. He had made no attempt to escape and was found in theyard. Herefused tosur- render when called on, and it was on! whan the constable had him covered whg a revolver and threatened toshoot that he finally yielded. The feeling against the murderer is so intense that lynching is very probable. ——— ARRESTED IN a POOLROOCM, Seventeen Women Gathered in During a Xaid by the Polios, CHICAGO, IzL, Oct. 16.—Yesterday aft- ernoon seventeen women and two men were arrested by detectives from the Cen- tral police station in room 6 of the Ricar- do Hotel at 168 Clark street, and locked up on a charge of being frequenters of a poolroom. Unlike the women arrested weeks ago on the southside, the prisoners were not fashionable women, but were irom the middle class, apparently the wives of small shopkeepers and.artisans. The arrest came about through the re- fusal of tt:e manapger of the place to allow a mulatto woman to patronize the place after she bad played once. She deter- mined to retaliate and swore out a war- rant tor the arrest of Ralph Doe ona charge of keeping a gambling-roo; The warrant was served yesterday after- noon, when the place was almost full of women. The officers secured possession of the single ticker in the room, which was connected with the wire, which ran from the room through a window into the alley, where it ran up a telegraph pole. Four of the women walked to the police station. One of these was an o!d woman with white hair, whi ked the officers not to compel her to ride in the patrol wagon. At the station the women gave in most cases what the police say are fictitions names. Most of them took the matter of their arrest philosophically, and made efforts to secure bondsmen, but many spent the time in crying and wondering what would become of them. Two of tue women are said to be the wives of police officers. —_——— BOTH BECAME INSANE, Sad dffliction Befalls a Minister and His Wi ife. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp, Oct. 16.—One of the strangest cases in the history of this city has just come to light. Rev.John W. Milam, who until within a few days has been pastor of the Madison-avenue Metho- dist Episcopal Church, and his wife have both been declared insane. Mrs. Milam is an invalid, and in the hope that he might benefit her the pastor took up the study of medicine. He was devoted to his wife and his worry over her condition, com- bined with his intense study of medicine, which he carried on without interruptin his ministerial duties, proved too muc! for his mind, which gave way under the strain, The first knowledge of his concition was obtained when friends discovered him and his wife shooting at imaginary figures, which they claimed were annoying them. This led to an investigation, which dis- closed.that both were mentally impaired and the necessary steps were made yester- day placing them under restraiut. Mr. and Mrs. Milam are middle-aged and the parents of two children, Mr. Milam has served in the ministry for years and his record is among the best. VICTIVIZED BY THE-DETECTIVES Kearney and Haines State That Their Arrest Was a Plat. Had No Connection With Irish Dynamiters and Were on a Peaceful Mission. ROUGH EXPERIENCE IN PRISON Policemen Who Tried to Make Them Break Down by Stories of Confes- sions by Informers. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct.16.—John F. Kearney and Thomas Haines, the two al- leged lrish dynamiters who were arrested in Rotterdam Beptember 13, arrived at Hoboken this morning on the steamship ‘Werkendam. Besides a few personal friends there was no one on the pier to re- ceive them. Kearney’s wife did not re- ceive telegraphic notice of the vessel until 8 o’clock, and she was not present. Kear- ney, however, waited for her, and at 10 o’clock he greeted his wif> and nine-year- old daughter. The meeting was an affect- ing one. Ten minutes later Kearney, his wife and child and Thomas Haines were on their way to Kearney's home at 927 ‘Washington avenne. Both men tell remarkable stories and both vigorously deny that they had ever been engaged in any dynamite plot. They insist that their arrrest was due to a plot on the part of the English detectives. Kearney also believes that his own brother-in-law wad one_ of the prime movers in it—that John Gort, the name the brother-in-law goes by—is in the pay of the English Government and actnally laid the wires which brought Kearney to Rotterdam, knowing that the English Government wanted him for an alleged dynamite offense said to have been com- mited in Glasgow many years ago. Kearney, as well as Haines, seemed amazed when informed of the stories pub- lished concerning him, particularly that which said that £2000 of English money bad been found in his possession in Rot- terdam when arrested. “The fact of the matter 1s,” said be, “that I left New York with less than $150, and at the time of my arrest I had only $95 40. I bave brought back with me exactly $1 25. As to the story that I was engaged in the manufacture of bombs or destructive affairs I want to say right hete that there is not a word of truthin the story. “I started for Europe on August®l, my brother-in-law purchasing the passage tickets with money which I gave . him, and it was not until I was many days out that I found my name had been changed from Kearney to Wittges. My wife is a German, and there is alittle property com- ing to her over there, “This brother-in-law suggested that it would be a good thing to take & trip over and have the estate settled. As I did not inten! starting my ypaper, the Irish Na- tionalist, until September, I readily con- sented to go. I had a pretty good time in both Antwerp and Rotteriam, living in the most econowmical manner until two days before my arrest. “While in a saloon one day I met Mr. Haines. I recognized him as an Ameri- can, as he did me. I learned from him that he was in Europe on a vacation. He asked me if I could tell him a good hotel to stop at, and Iinvited him to mine. ‘When we got to the hotel we found that there was not a vacant room, so 1 offered to him, as I would to any other American, a share of my bed. “Well, Haines and myself looked about for the first day, then he became very ill and I had to nurse him. He waslying in bed on the morning of Saptember 13.” It was about 6 o’clock, if I rememberrightly, when there was a_knock at the door. I ovened it and found six policemen and an Englishman, whose name I do not know, standing on the side. Each carried a small arsenal and then I was told that we ‘were under arrest, ““The room was never searched in four presence. Indeed, we were bundled out- 'side and taken to the stationshouse. In our absence they claimed to nave searched the room and found a number of infernal machines under the bed upon which I was lyine. Then I was taken to a cell. “Every day for twelve solid hours two policemen sat in the cell with me and I was not allowed to lie down. They kept teil- ing me all the time that I had better save. myself as one of my ‘pals’ had confessed. They spoke to me '0f Tynan and Bell. I met Tynan once or twicein New York, but]navu- knew him. T did not know Bell at all, “Yet they kept harping about confes- sions and informers until I got sick of listening and refused to talk atall, except to demand my release, I was never brought into a police court, but always before the Police Commissioners, who kept harping always on the same theme. They told me that my only hope was to save myself by confessing. The food I got was vile. Once I became so exhausted that I almost lost my mind. I was weak from lack of food and sleep. _I néver want such experience. I shall never it, Only the Portland Prison con- victs could be treated worse. “Finally the detectives got tired. They would not let me see any newspapers, except those published in foreign lan- guages. I wasnot allowed to communi- cate with any of my friends. “‘Then the time came when we had to be released. The Chief of Police tried to make us sail home by way of England, but Iresolutely refused, for I knew what that would mean.” i JUMPED WHILE DHKEAMING, Lewis Dressler Took a Fatal Leap From a Train. TRENTON, N. J. Oct. 16.—Lewis Dressler, a merchant of Jersey City, died yesterday at St. Francis Hospital of in- juries received by leaping from a train at Ogder avenue, a mile beyond the Trenton depot of the Pennsylvania road. Dressler was on his way to.
