We went to the ball, nevertheless, and Mrs. Finigun | attracted much attention, for she really is | a very beautiful woman. ! *'She says that I had a pistoi under my | pillow at the Baltimore hotel and this| srightened her. Now, for a fact, it was be- | cause Mrs. Finigan wanted me to havea | firearm that I kept the weapons under mv | pillow.

Interested in the Giobs Bank and Treas- urer Spalding, Who Is Now in Hiding. CHICAGO, Irr., April 10.—Judge Tuley to-day entered an order permitting the Chicago Title ana Trust Company, re- ceiver of the Globe Savings Bank, to make a thorough search of the secret boxes of the Globe Deposit Company. The order was made afier an affidavit wes reaq showing it would be to the interest of de- vositors and the University of Illinois, as Spalding, an absent party, had concealed the stocks, bonds and cash to the amount of $500,000 and fled with the keys. De- velopments to-day in the bank failure and Spalding’s treasurership of the university again brought Altgeld’s name before the public. It is shown that Altgeld was | vice-president and a director of the bank at the time of his election as Governor, but was compelled by law 10 resign when taking office. He remained a beavy stockholder, how- ever. The trustees of the university ob- jected to the first bond offered by Treas- urer Spalding, but the records show that on the suggestion of the Governor the bond was approved later. The Governor's anxiety for the qualification of Spalding is said to have been due to the fact that the Globe Bank was financially embar- rassed four years ago, and only a day or two remained of the sixty days' notice given by the depositors who wanted money. Ten men, including Solomon Spalding of Nashua, N. H,, father of the treasurer, qualified to the bond for $600,- 000, scheduling $852,000 worth of unen. cumbered property, As soon asthe bond was accepted the university funds were removed from the Siate treasury to the Globe Bank, which was thus saved from ruin. Bankers who have examined the bond say it is not worth more than half what it purports to represent. Lelhman, who is acting receiver for the bank. said 1t might be impossibie for the trustees 1o recover the bonds of the university when they call for an accounting next Tuesday, owing to the court injunction. Spalding has ob- tained a restraining order preventing the removal of any securities from the Globe vaults. His hiding place remains a mystery. Indignant depositors of the Globe Bank | mitted at Cornishville, when the house of | when he ran out he was shot and severely | to the number of 200 met to-night to dis- cuss methods by which to punish the bank officials. An adjournment was tsken until to-morrow afternoon, when 1000 will attend. S CLEVER SURGICAL Bone Removed From the Fractured Skull of a Forger to Establ.sh_ the Plea of Insanity. CLEVELAND, Omo, April 10.—The most interesting surgicai operation ever performed here was conducted at the St Alexis Hospital to-day. The subject was | R. N. Cunningbam, on trial for forging Judge Hamilton’s name to a $75,000 check. His lawyers claimed that Cun- ningbam was insane when be forged the | check. A aepression was plainly seen on | the forger's skull, but physicians con- | tended that it was s'mply & congenital de- | pression. To determine this Cunning- ham was released on bail and taken to the hospital. Dr. Tuckerman, after cutting into the skull, removed the bone over the depression and a complete fracture of the | skull was plainly evident. This is likely tolead to a decision that Cunningham | was insane and not responsible for the crime. The operation required forty-five minutes. Cunningham has fully recov- ered. OPERATION. e, CUT A BARKENTINE IN TWO. During a Dense Fog the Steamer La Grande Duchesse Ran Down and Sank the Neltie Smith. SAVANNAH, G, April 10.—While the | Plant steamer La Grande Duchesse, which | arrived to-night, was steaming through a dense fog on the way from New York Fri- day night she collided with the American varkentine Nellie Smith, bound from Cuba to New York, cutting the barken- | tine in two. The burkentine sank in five minutes. Captain Dodge, the first and second | mates and two of the crew of the Nellie Smith were lost. The steamer's boat helmsman and e. picked up the looko steward from the wrec BHIDIAG THE TOLLGATE Daring Outrages Committed by Lawless Bands of Ken- tuckians. Even the Home of Governor Brad'ey Is Not Free From Operations of the Bad Men LOUISVILLE, K., April 10.—Toligate raiders,;who bave committed many scts o lawlessness since November, are constantly extending their field of operation and the task of checking their depredations is so formidable as to require extraordinary measures. From merely chopping down toligates they now use dynamite. ‘They have burned several houses and wounded a number of men. In Garrard County they have threatened to heng a Judge if he attempts to have them arrested; have notified a number of | rich farmers they t grow no tobacco this year and millers have been warned not to charge more than §2a hundred pounds for flour. Tobacco, they say, has been overproduced so the prices are teo iow, and the millers bave taken advantage of the high price of wheat to put up tlour, so the poor man must eat only corn bread. Garrard County, in which they have heen operating most, is the home ot (iovernor Bradley. Indignant that the home of the Goveraor snould thus be disgraced, the leading citizens oifer a reward of $6000 for the conviction of the outlaws. Nobody | has attempted to earn the money and the raiders have grown so bold that the roads in that section are being abandoned. One of the worst outrages was com- Cal Atkinson, & gatekeeper, was fired, and wounded. He was put in charge of the gate because he was so popular it was not believed the raiders would have the hardi- hood to attack him. The owners applied to the County Judee tor help. He prom- ised to protect them, but after thinking it over with the directors they decided to abendon their gates. Director Terhnne, an old solaier, owns ninety-eight shares of gtock worth $50 a share, but says he woul! rather give them up than run the | risk of being killed. The directors have been notified they will be dynamited if they do not stop taking toll. Many raiders are known, but no one is found with cour- age enough to go before a Grand Jury and have them indicted. i 58 S 00 FLOKIDA’S SENATOKIAL FIGHT. EBryan’s Speech Before the Legislature | Upsets the Call Men. TALLAHASSEE, Fra., April 10.—Now that Bryan has addressed the Florida Legislature it is doubtful whether the | purpose for which he was broucht here has been accomplished. The purpose was to help re-elect Call tothe Senate. Call leading opponent m Colonel W. D. Chipley, whose character for enterprise is exceptional, The only danger in the way of Chipley is too many rivals. The united opposition has » majority in the Legisla- ture, but the trouble is to bring it to- gether. This fact induced the Call people to secure an invitation for Bryan to speak here, believing it would affect the voting and re-elect Call, The goid men did not permit themselves to be led into the oppo- sition, but joined in the reception. Bryan | in opening his speech expressly declzred that he had no pert in ti.e Senatorial can- vass. The Call forces are greatly disconcerted and to-day have been denouncing Pryan | for havirg referred to the subject avall. | Bryan spoke at Jucksoaville to-night. During the day he took a trip on the fili- buster Dauntiess flying the Cuban flag. After speaking at Washington and Cin- cinneti he will return to Nebraska. —— BECOND WEDDI\G OF CHILDREN, Romance in Which the Governor of Georaia Plays « Part. CHATTANOOGA, Texw., April 10.— Governor Atkinson has found himself un- der the embarrassing necessity of golng outside of his own State to secure the legal marriage of bis son. To-morrow morning at the residence of I. C, Mans. field here the second marriage of Jjohn P, Atkinson, aged 16, the only son of Georgia’s executive, to Ada Byrd, the 14 ear-old daughter of Charles P. Byrd of ome, takes place. A week ago they eloped and were married by a countr Justice. In Georgia both pariies to a wed. ding must be 17. -The Governor took his s0n home, declaring the ceremony void.

Believe That the Suspect Was Himself the Victim of Assassination. Advznce the Novel Theory That He Was Impersonated by the Real Murderer BAN JOSE, Carn, April 10.—Charles Corey, proprietor of the Auzerais House Cefe, has always maintained that James C. Dunham was not the marderer of the McGlincy family at Campbell, and that he, also, fella victim to the murderous hand that perpetrated the sextuple assa sination. Mr. Corey, accompanied by Amador de la Rosa, to-day went out tothe McGlincy ranch prepared to make an in- vestigation on the line of his beliefs. Ile hopes to continue the work for several | days if permitted to do so, in the search for evidence to bear out his theory. It is Mr. Corey’s belief that the real per- petrator of the horrible slaughter was not Dunbam and that the murderer, to throw suspicion upon Dunham, killed him and buried him ia the orchard. Notwithstanding tnat Dunham was seen by a neighbor and one of the hired men on the place while doing some of the | shooting and the other strong proois that he was the murderer Mr. Corey holds that since the most thorough search has been made upon ail kinds of clews for Dun- harma and not a bit of reliable information concerning him has ever besn received since the time of the murder, bis body must be not far under the soil on the Me- Glincy place, and the real murderer has never yet been suspected, He hoids that | the murderer might have disguised him- self to look like Dunbam and that this deceived those who saw the murderer. Mr. Corey and Mr. de la Rosa took a long, pointed iron with them and probed about in the orchard near the house for several hours, but were ungble to uncover any trace of the fugitive murderet’s body. No sort of argument changes Mr. Corey’s views, and he will endeavor to prove his theory if allowed to do so. el BORN OVER A CENTURY AGO. Santa Clara County Infirmary Receives a Mexican One Kundred and Five Years 0/d. SAN JOSE, Cawn, April 10.—Martin Bars, a Mexican, 105 years old, was re- ceived at the County Infirmary to-day from Mountain View, and will pass his re- maining days there as a charge upon the county.

ARRESTED FOR ASSsULT, Dr. Graily Hall Gets Into Trowuble With a Hotel Proprietor. SAN JOSE, CAL., April 10.—Dr. Graily Hall was arrested last night on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, preferred by H. L. Hirsch, proprietor of the New | York Exchange Hotel. Hirsch had some trouble over office | rent with Dr. J. U. Hall Sr., the father of the accused, and pad'ocked the door, re- fasing to allow Hall Sr. to remove his surgical instruments, Dr. Grail Hall took a hatchet and proceeded to pry open the door of his father's office, and when Hirseh attempted to stop 'him it is al- leged that he used the haichet in a threat- ening manuer toward the complainant. Hall Jr, was arrested and handenffed and taken to jail, but not until he had given two policemen a good tussle, When the case was called this morning in Justice Dwyer’s court it was continued untit Monday morning. e SOLD STOLEN BUTTER, Thriving Business Conducted by a Thief Who Robbed a Creamery. SAN JOSE, Car., April 10.—Charles H. Potter, who was recently caught in the act of robbing the Garden City Creamery, to-day pleaded gulty to a charge of petty larceny before Justice Gass and was sen- tenced to sixty days in the County Jail. The prisoner was originaily charged with burglary, but this was reduced to petty larceny. Yotter wasemployed at the creamery for several months, but was discharged be- cause of suspicions as to his honesty, After leaving the creamery he engaged in the butter business and sold butter to patrons of his former emvlovers greatly below the market price. About this time the theft of bucter from the creamery was noticed. A letter found on the floor di- rected suspicion toward Potter. A watch was set for the thief and Potter was caught robbing the butter-chest. —_— Health Offic-r now Resigns, BAN JOSE, Carn., April 10.—Dr. ).

Minister Baker to Mcks Efforts fo Pre- vent ihs Forfejture of the Big Concession. WASHINGTON, D. C,, April 10—The Government has instructed Minister Ba- ker at Managua to make efforts to prevent the forfeiture of the Nicaragua canal con- cession. This action was taken upan rep- resentations made by President Hitchcock of the Maritime Canal “Company. Hitch- cock notified the State Department that he had information indicating that Nica- Tagua- was contemplating steps looking to the revocation of the concession. In addition to taking steps to prevent a forfeiture of the concession, Baker has been directed to carefully gauge the sen- timent among the offivials of Nicaragua in regaid to tne canal. There is rcason to believe that Secretary Shermaa is awaiting Congressional action in the canal matter. "Although Minister Rodriguez, eatly in the administration, informed Sherman that he desired to commence negotiations at once looking to the consummation of a treaty for the con- | struction of the canal, up to the present nothing whatever has been done in the matter. Baker's investigation, however, shows that the new administration will aot neglect the matter. —_— SVED FROM A LEOPARD Heroism of Mrs, “Jack” Gardner, Boston’s Eccentric Society Leader. Rescus H:r Escort at the Z>o From the Ciutches of an Uatamed . Mar-Eter. BOSTON, Mass, April 10,—Mrs. “Jack” Gardner, the well-known eccentric mil- lionaire leader of Boston society, had a thrilling adventure at the Zoo to-day, saving the life of her escort, a member of a grand opera troupe. The affairis the talk of the town to-night. Amherst Web- ber is being entertained by the Gardners and Mrs. Jack drove him to the Zoo. | While she was peeking at a baby lion her companion, disregarding the precaution- ary sign “Danger,” stepped inside the rail guarding the cage of the untamed man- eating leopards and reached through the bars to pat one of the animals. It was almost fatal foolhardiness. There was a quick spring, a shriek, a sound of rending garments and the effeminate little opera man collapsed in the deadly clutches of the bloodthirsty animal. He was utterly helpless and his destruction seemed to be imminent when Mrs. “Jack” rusbed to the rescue. Without a moment’s hesitation or sign of fear she | grasped the fainting man in one arm while she blinded the vicious leopard with | the other hand by hurling her wrap right in its eyes with her full force. Completely oblivicus to her own danger | she played the heroine, while men and | keepers stood back trembling. The leo- | pard, dazed and blinded, relaxed the hold of bis claws. which had sunk deep into the flesh of Webber's arm, and Mra, Jack pulled him away. She was just in time. Anotber moment and he might have been lost. Whilo Webber's coat was sent out_to be sewed up, Mrr. Jack wrapped him in ner ermine muntle, which soon showed spots of crimsan. His wounds were dressed and Mrs, Jack removed him in her private car- riage. He was not seriously injured. TRINITY'S BURIED FOREST, | | Masses of Charred Wood Uncovered in Biue Cilay Thiriy Feet Below the Surface. | REEDING, OaL., April 10.—During the past week a considerable amount of charred wood has been uncovered at Weaverville, Trinity County, in the Hupp & McMurry mine in piping off the gravel, The wood is found in blue clay at the depth of thirty fcet. It is ecedar, very heavy, but not petrified, and abont a cord of it has been excavatea. Some of it has the appearauce of having been shaped by humar hands, but this is only corjecture. Judging from the depth it mnst evidently have been lett there many centuries a-o. The Trinity Journal advances the theory that the charred wood is the remnant of a forest fire, probably originating from a lightning-struck tree. Then in the shift- ing of the ages a large body of water stood above the ruins of the forest and coyered it with debris. The wood is in a good state of preservation and specimens of it will be sent to the State University museum, There is no doubt as to the antiguity of the gravel deposit in Trinity County. A few years ago a skeleton of a prehistoric animal was found infbedded in the gravel at Junction Cit; LS MURDERED IN DEATH VALLEY.
