VOLUME LXXX.—NO. 141. SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY MORN NG, OCTOBER 19, 1896. PRICE FIVE CEN UNION GENERALS MEET THE MAJOR, They Take Encouraging Reports to McKinley at Canton. Silver Sentiment Recedes and Everywhere Business Again Reyiving. CONFIDENCE NOW RETURNING* So Certain Are Thoughtful Men That Republicans Will Win That Prosperity Is Dawning. CANTON, O=1o, Oct. 18.—When Major McKinley looked out of his window this morning he saw the first snow of the sea- son and later in the day he observed that it was a fortunate thing the storm pre- vailed to-day instead of yesterday, when there were nearly 25,000 strangers in the city. jor McKinley is beaming with good health and good humor to-day and has thoroughly recovered from the fatigue in- cident to the arduous labors of Baturday. He went to church this morning and the veteran Union geuerals went jwith him. He walked home from church in the whirling snow under an umbrella with General Alger on one side and General O. 0. Howard on the other. The train bearing the Union generals arrived early this morning. On it were General and Mrs. R. A. Alger, General Sickles, General Thomas A. Stewart of Pennsylvania, General O. 0. Howard, General George A. Marden of Massachu- setts, Corporal James Tanner, Major J.W. Burit of Illinois, Colonel G. O. Hopkins of Detroit and Colonel I. N. Walker of Indianapolis. The whole party ained with Major McKinley this afternoon. They leave for a trip through Eastern Ohio in the morning, after holding a meet- ing here at 7:30 o'clock. General Alger said this evening: “We have had enormous meetings everywhere, have visited 210 towns and traveled about 6000 miles. Major McKinley will be elected and his popular vote will be sur- prisingly large.” Major McKinley has heard a great deal of encouraging news to-day, and it does not all come from politicians. E. O. Mec- Cormick, passenger trafic manager of tne Big Four system, is one of the most widely scquainted business men in the Central and border Southern States. He said to- day: “I nave talked with fully a hundred well-informed men, representing all shades of political faith and thought, within the week, and have been over a considerable portion of the country. A great change has taken place in public sentiment since the first of September in Indiane, Ilinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Iowa and Minne- so'a. I have taken pains to discuss the situation with many workingmen in many places and I find the silver sentiment everywhere declining with gurprising rapidity. The leeling that McKinley is likely to win obtains in the business world and the railroads are feeling the evidence of returning confidence in very considerably increased freight and pas- senger traftic.” A good many delegations will visit Can- ton this week. Wednesday is Illinois day and Saturday promises to be lively. The delegations scheduled are as follows: October 19—Sound-money Democrats and Repubiicans of Minnesota; business men of Sewick Pa. October 20—. end McKinley Club of Cleveland; Sixth District, Maryland, and Second West Virginia District Repub- licans. October 21—Illinois day; Garfield Club of Warren, Obio; Young Men’s Marching Club of Massiilon. October 22—Marietta (Ohio) Republican Club; Bsrnesville (Ohio) Republicans. October 23—Americus Club of Cleveland ; Armstrong County (Pa.) Republican clubs; Hornellsville (N. Y.) McKinley Club. O ctober 24—Employes of Erie Railway Company from Huntington, Ind.; railway men of Missouri and Southern 1llinois; Republicans of Piedmont, W. V. Rail- way Sound Money Club of the United States; Colored citizens of Pittsourg; British Isles American McKinley Club o Cuyzhoga County, Onhio; citizens of Henry County, Ohio, and Harwood's Lumbermen’s Exchange of Chicago. e GLNER 1L GROSVENOR’'S FIGURES. Sigmificant Changes That Show Mo- Kinloy’s Crrtainty of Election. ATHENS, Omro, Oct. 18.—General the Presidential vote to-night. He said votes of Bryan. North Carolina is a doubtful State with chances in favor of Bryan, in my opinion. hus we hav: 292 votes for McKinley and Hobart with 224 necessary to their election. If they gain in the same ratio for the next three weeks as they have gained in the last three, this is a very conservative estimate of the elecioral vote for them. . West Virginia All Right. PITTSBURG, PA., Oct. 18.—A special to the Times from Kingwood, W. Va., says: William Dawson, chairman of the Republican State Committee of West Vir- ginia, has given out a forecast of the com- ing election in this State.” He says: “The tide is still in our favor and the senti- ment for protection and sound money is growing. Our majority will be anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000. Our gains all over the State will be general and particularly large in the city of Wheeling and Kaaa- wha County.” BY MAGNETIC ATTRACTION. Scheme of a Boston Inventor by Which Aerial Navigation May Become a Possibility. BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 18.—An entirely new scheme looking to aerial navigation and flight has been suggested by A. W. Nitsch of 1 Beacon street. 1t is such a de- cided departure from all the propositions heretofore advanced for utilizing the at- mosphere for purposes of transit as to command serious attention from scient- ists and others to whom it has been pre- sented. 1t is the idea of Mr. Nitsch that the subtle magnetic attraction that holds the needle of the mariner’s compass with un- swerving fidelity to the north can be util- ized in a magnified form for man’s con- venience, profit and pleasure. Accepting the theory advanced that vast deposits of magnetic ore exist 1n the immediate vicin- ity of the north pole and from there come the magnetic currents distributed over the globe, and that it is the attraction of this thus far unbounded field that draws with magic power the needle of the com- pass, there is nothing, as Mr. Nitsch looks at ir, to prevent its being made of real service. “I believe,” said he, ‘“that magnets could be suspended in the air of sufficient force to countersct the resistance .of the air, overcome the adverse currents, and move more or less rapidly toward the north.” . Mr. Nitsch said that it might not prove possible, but it was open to argument and experiment, and there is no telling what might come of it. As to the methods of return, should such a flight as pictured ever be taken, that wasspoken of as a problem that would be solved quickly. sl RAILROADS OF RUSSIA. Prince Michael Hikoff Says the Progress Made in the Czar's Domain Will Soon Astound the World. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.: Oct. 18.— Prince Michael Hilkoff, Imperial Minister of Ways and-Commerce of Russia, accom- panied by his suite, arrived here at 7 o'clock to-night on a special train overthe New York Central from New York, and aiter an inspection of the Nidgara Power Company’s plant viewed the falls by moonlight. The Prince came expressly to study American railway systems. Ras- sia, he declares, has made great strides in railway building in recent years and will astound the world when the work con- templated is completed. The railroads of Russia are now operated upon the conti- nental system, but it is proposed to sub- stitute the American. When the great trans-Siberian railway is completed Prince Hilkoff declares Russia will have made it possible to travel around the world in the marvelous time of about thirty days. To-morrow the Prince and his party will spend in viewing the falls and will then go to Buffalo and later to Depew, where the New York Central shops will be inspected. ROBBERS AAID CARNEY, Daring Desperadoes Swoop Down Upon a Town in Ok:ahoma. “ Dynamite Dick” and His Crowd Commit a Boid Outrage and Gather In Some Cash. GUTHRIE, O. T., Oct. 18.—Two posses of United States Marshals are in hot pur- suit of the bold desperadoes who held up the little town of Carney, thirty miles east of here, last night. Two men supposed to be members of the gang stopped at a farmhouse this morning and demanded food. Their horses looked as though they had been ridden a long way. Several deputies immediately pursued them. The story oi the hold-up at Carney reads like the robberies of the early days in Oklahoma. It was 10 o’clock when the town was attacked by the six bandits, all heavily armed, masked and well mounted. The robbers entered with a fl urish of store of J. E. Foutz, the largest merchant Grosvenor gave out a revised estimate omea and oaths, and at once atiacked the “There have been some significant changes in the sitoation since my first builetin and I have rtaken very great pains, by the use of all available means, 10 ascertain sabstantially what the result is to be. There is yet some doubt and un- certainty about some of the States, but I think the following may be safely placed io the absolutrly sure column. McKin- ley and Hobart will have the following Btates: 39| Towa.... 6| Kentucky. .. 23| Oregon . 15| Washin, 24/ Californi Michiga l 14 Wisconsin 12| 10tal..ceesseceeesen 292 There are States which I do not class as sure for McKinley whicn I believe will give him their vote, to-wit: Illinofs.. Kansas. 10/ MisSOTL.. cuvsieneeene 17 Virginia. 2| ¥~ Teanessee.. 83| Total...se.eeesseons. B1 The States which do not seem to be doubtful and which must be conceded practically and without controversy to Bryen remain as in my first table except that Florida has disclosed an uncertainty as to her status, and I think that Texas and Louisiana may be added to the sure in the city. Before entering the town the bandits cut the telephone wires between Carney and Chandler, in order to prevent interference with their apparently pre- arranged plans. Carney 1s a town of 300 people. Only Foutz and his son were in the store when t. e robbers rushed in and drew their guns on them. The chief of the outlaws demanded Toutz to open his sate. He quickly com- plied and banded over $800 in cash to the bandits. Two of the robbers then bound and gagged Foutz and his son and carried them two miles out of town, Meanwhile the other robbers attacked the hotel and Postoffice, but got nothing in the latter place. In the hotel three drummers and two citizens were robbed in all of $500 in money, watches and jewelry. At the United States Marshal’s office the opinion prevails that the gang is headed by “Dynamite Dick,” pal of the late Dalton anu Doolin. He was saia to be in Missouri near Sedaiia lasi week. The robters had their plans well laid, which accounts for their liberty thus far, Al An Inch of Suow. OGDENSBURG, N.Y., Oct. 18.—Bnow fell thronghout St. Lawrence County to- day to the depth of an inch. o/ figi BRYAN BEHOLDS AN UNWELCOME APPARITION. SPANISH WRATH AT UNCLE SAM Imparcial Sai's‘, a Demand Should Be Made for~ an Explanafiofi. Objecticn to the Story That Cu- bans Will Receive Independ- ence for Christmas. ; MEANWHILE PATRIOTS RALLY, Forces of the Insurgents Cross the Trocha and Prepare for a Final Battie for Freedom. MADRID, Spaix, Oct. 18.—The Imparcial says that Spain should demand from the United States an explanation of the ais- pateh from Washington published by the New York Herald to the effect that unless Spain ends the war in Cuba before Jan- uary 1 President Cleveland will recognize the independence of the insurgents. The Imparcial adds that the neutrality observed at the ports of the United States is an odious fiction, and tiat thereisa continual conniving at filibustering, It says the United States Consul-Geaneral at Havana protected a8 Spanish deserter at Havans, and concludes: “If Bpain should remain alone in a con- flict with the United States Spaniards by their own efforts will know how to mark the difference between the noble defenders of their own property and the vile traffick- ers at Washington.” LONDON, Exe., Oct. 18.—A dispatch to the Central News from Madrid says the King, Queen Regent and other members of the court returned to the cavital to-day from San Sebastian, where they had been spending the summer. The dispatch adds that an attempt was made to wreck the royal train by some one, presumably a Cuban. A dynamite bomb had been placed on the rails, but fortunately it was discovered before the train reached the place. NEW YORK. N. Y., Oct. 18.—A special dispatch to the Herald from Havana, Cuba, says: This morning’s reports indicate that while Captaln-General Weyler’s attention is centered in Maceo's movements in the west, Gomez’s advance columns under Mayis Rodriguez, Rabi, Quintin Bandera and Pancho Carnllo, are laughing at the central trocha, have swept across Santa Clara Province without meeting serious opposition, and invaded Matanzas with from 5000 to 7000 fresh recruits from the Orient. Rodriguez is now encamped north of Alfonso XII, near the line of Havana province. Aguirre is reported to be marching with a strong force irom Janico to greet and conduct him westward tbrough Southern Havana, their sup- posed plan being to attack the western trocha south of Artemisa before the Span- ish General, Gonzalez Munoz, can engage Maceo at Cacara Cara. Calixto Garcia and Avelino Rosa, with rebel corps, are said to be now menacing Puerto Principe City, moving west from Cascorro by irregular marches toward Ciego de Avila. The Herald's correspondent at Ciego de Avila reports that a party of 400 in- surgents crossed the central trocha near Javua on the morning of the 8th, under a sharp fire from the BSpanish forts. The revels moved 7 westward. B It is belicved that Rabi's rear column is following up the invasion in Santa Clara simultaneously with Mayia Rodriguez’s entry into Matanzas province. The party crossing at Jagua did not lose a man. They made no response to the Spanish fire, treating it with contempt. A filibnstering expedition composed of twenty-five men, arms and ammunition, is reported to have disembarked on the night of October 14, on the coast near Punia del Indio, between Havana and Jaruco. The leader was unknown. Tt is tood that the party came from the Babamas. Major Valencia met and con- ducted the expeditionsts to General Aguirre’s rebel headquarters in the in- terior, —_—— FEVER aND SMALLPOX. Diseases. That Yet Cause Many Deaths Among Spanish Troops. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18.<The weekly bulletin issuea by the Marine Hospital service for the current week con- tains a report in detail from D. N. Bur- gess, sanitary inspector, of the appearance of yellow fever o the American schooner Florence and Lillian, which sailed from Havana for Pascagoula on the 2d inst. One of the sailors was taken sick while the schooner lay at Taliapedra wharf, and being taken to the hospital died there. The vessel, Inspector Burgess states, was fairly clean and her crew vaccinated while at Havana. A further report from Dr. Burgess dated the 9th inst. states that in the week ending October 8 there were fifty-four deaths in Havana from yeliow fever and 150 new cases. Forty-seven of fifty-four deaths were among the Spanish soldiers. He says the disease about holds its own among the troops. Smallpox bas in- creased very much, there having been sixty-seven deaths more than twice as many as in the precedinz week. JLIRM FELT 1 CESKRE “We Are Alive,” Says a Tele- gram Sent by a Family in That Town. Minister Terrell Has Not Yet Asked Permission for a War Vessel to Enter the Bosphorus. LONDON, Exa., Oct. 18.—The Constan- tinople representative of the United Asso- eiated Presses says anxiety is felt regard- ing the condition of affairs in Ceesarea. On Friday a telegram was received from a prominent family in that town saying: “We are alive.” It is believed in Constantinople that the Washington Government has arranged with the Porte for a peaceful passage of the Dardanelles by the United States prac- tice ship Bancroft. Mr. Terrell, the American Minister, has not, however, appited for permission for the passage of a guardship since last Janu- ary. when the Porte objected to the pres- ence of an American vessel in the Bospho- rus on the ground that if vhe permission should be granted to the Uhited Staies the smaller nations would follow her ex- ample and also ask for guardstips.. The Daily News will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Constantinople saying that Mr. Olney, the American Secretary of State, has cabled to the Porte thanking it for permitting- a number of Armenian women and children to leave Turkey and join their husbands and fathers who are now in the United States. The dispatch adds that permission has again been re- fused to all other Armenians to leave the country. il Dr Rhett Will Recover, NATCHEZ, Miss, Oct. 18—Dr. P. 8.

CRASHED DOWN FROM A TOWER Fall of a Five Hundred Pound Clock Weight Into a Church. Those in the Edifice Startled by the Breaking of tie Timbers. THEN A PANIC SOON FOLLOWS. But the Congregation Escapes Injury and the Priests Quiet All Fears. MILWA UKEE, Wis,, Oct. 18.—A 500- pound clock weight crashed through three floors of St. Hedwig’s Catholic Church this afternoon. The church was crowded at the time and a panic ensued, in which no one was injured. 8t. Hedwig’s is a Polish Roman Catholic church. Archbishop Katzer was admin- istering the sacrament of confirmation to a class of 225 at the time and the church was crowded. There were over 2000 peo- ple present. The tower is 180 feet high and the weight was suspended at a height of 170 feet. The tower covers the enirance to the edifice. The services had been in progress for some time, and fortunately there were no people passing in or out. At a few minutes after 4 o'clock the ser- vices were brought to an end by a terrible crash in the belfry. It seemed to those in the church that the tower was failing. The first crash was followed by a second in an 'instant, then came a third. The big weight had fallen through the three floors and into the entry. It had happened so quickly that the congregation could barely gasp for breath after the first floor gave way under the weight, when it was over, and thegpeople began to pour in disorder from the church. ‘Women screamed and men turned pale with fright. The priests, realizing the danger, called on the peovle to pre<erve order and to leave the church quietly. They weresoon assured by those near the door that danger was past. They quieted down and the building was emptied without serious ac- cident. DEATH OF A VETERAN EDITOR. Close of the Career ot Horace Rubles, Noted Journalist, Statesman and 2 Diplomat.

T, Rambusch FORGED REALTY MORTGAGES. Through an Incendiary Fire He Obs tained Control cf the R-cords of Doige Ceunty, Wis. JUNEAU, Wis., Oct. 18.—No trace of W. T. Rambusch, the defaulting banker and real estate man who has been missing for ten days, beyond the intelligence con- veyed in a letter from the East that he was in Philadelphia, has reached this city. Inouiring investors who trusted him implicitly have crowded the town during the week, but only additional proofs of Rambusch’s rascality have rewarded their search for available assets. Yesterdaya small bottle of a clear fluid in which rest- ed a little sponge was found. This, on being submitted to a chemist’s test, proves to be an erasing fluid, and by its use Rambusch had manipulated deeds and records at will. The defalcations already bronght to light reach the sum of $250,000 and those engaged in the work of straightening the books ¢.aim the end is not yet. The only assets thus far aiscovered amount to $25,- 000 and consist of the records of Mr. Ram- busch’s office, worth about $10,000, stock in the Citizens’ Bank to the value of $7500, a few notes of d ubtful value and a piece of mortgaged real estate. The principal losses are sustained by the following: George Hawkins, Water- town, $70,000; Mrs. L. Winfie!ld Spence, Fon du Lac, $26,000; Nelson estate, $20,- 000; P. C. Quentmeyer, Watertown, $3000; Mrs. Jeannette Howelis, Milwaukee, $8000; D. H. Bemen, $8000; Silas Coleman, Fon du Lac, $5000; J. J. Williams, Baaver Dam, $5000; W. A. Bert, §5000; mortgages for small amounts to the Recister of Deeds, most of which are fraudulent, $35,000. Rambusch’s operations extend over a period of twenty years. He must in that time have handled betwepen $2.000,000 and $3,000.000 in the work of buying and ex- changing mortgages. How much he re- ceived from his clients or how much he paid them cannot be determined. He left no account books worthy of the name. What he did leave do not extend over the whole period that he has been in business and do not show in more than a few in- stances of his having received money for mortgages, They do show that he has paid large sums tor interest on morigages. He handled ihousands of mortgages, as he was the trusted financial agent of a namber of wealthy investors. The only way his defalcations can be found out is for all those who hold Dodge County mortgagss to send them to Juneau to have them looked up, and for all those who own property in the county to ex- amine and determine whether it has been affected by his fictitious mortgages or deeds. Rambusch, owning the only complete abstract record in the county, had the key to the sitnation, The manner in which he was caught well illustrates his pe- culiar method of dealing. One ol Rambusch’s most faithful and profit able clients was Mrs. Laura Win field Spence of Fon du Lac. Mrs. Spence is married the second time. Her first husband was a Mr. Winfield, 3 banker and a friend and companion of Rambusch. He invested thr ugh the latter, and his wife, after his death, cone tinued the practice. Mr. Spence, however, was not of the con. fiding nature of his wife. His suspicions were aroused early in the summer, when in looking over his wife’s securities he noticed what uniformly clean abstracts were furnished by Rambusch. They were all in the latter’s handwriting. They were all short. Few of them showed that the farms had been incumbered many timey since the Government gave its patent tq the first settler. This was a strange cir cumstance, as Mr. Spence knew from ex: perience that the pioneers were poor, and that it 1s the usual thing for farmers t¢ mortgage their land. It also appeared strange to him that most of the mortgaget were given on lana owned by widowers o) unmarried, and contained but one signa ture. On October 8 he came here to learz if the taxes were paid on all of the land on which his wife had advanced money Mr. Rambusch was out of. the city and he began an investigation on his own ao count. In looking over the register o deeds record he found a mortgage from John Rohde to Laura W. Spence for $500 He aid not remember the document, buf knew there was a mortgage against Johs Rohde for $2500. He at once went to Rambusch’s offiey and looked up the original abstract. I! was ali right. Up to the last transfer ther had been no transfer to John Rohde. H¢ leit a note for Rambusch saying he wante¢ tosee him at Beaver Dam on Saturday t have some matters explained. Rambuscl did not come. Spence found there was n¢ such person as John Rohde, and tha RS S Proof Of the pudding s in the eating, and the won deriul cures sccomplished are sufficient proo that Hood's Sarsaparilla I5the best—in fact the One True Biood Purlfiel Hood’s Pills 38 igestion. %
