The Manslayer Put In Irons and Brought From Montevideo to New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 12—When the bark Justin H. Ingersoll arrived this morning a deputy United States Marshal went aboard and arrested the present second mate, Ammon, and Stamen Wil- liam Nicoll and Louis Larsen, as wit- nesses of a murder committed aboard on the outward voyage to Montevideo. When the vessel was off Bermuda, on December 27, the first mate, John Christensen, dis- appeared from the sihip. The captain was below asleep when be was awakened by cries from the deck of “‘Mate overboard.” The captain hurried on deck, whers he found Paul Blanchara, the second mate, and Seaman Nicoll, both of whom declared that the first mate had accidentally fallen into the sea. The cap- tain found a big pool of blood ait, and summoning his men he told them that & murder had been committed. Blanchard and Nicoll were called upon to explain, but they denied all knowledge of how the biood came on the deck. Later in the day Nicoll wen: to the captain and told him that he had helped Blanchard to throw the mate overboard. “I was attending to my wateh,” Nicoll | said, “when Blanchard called me and | asked me to help him lift a body. I re- fused, and he drew a big knife, threaten- ing to kill me if Idid not. I took hold of the feet and Blanchard took the shoul- ders. The moon shone full on the body as we lifted it, and then 1 saw that the man’s bead had been entirely crushed in, as if struck with a belaving-pin. A knife had also evidently been stuck into the head. I did not see Blanchard strike the man, and cannot swear that he killed him.” When Acting Mate Ammon, who was a | step-brother of the missing man, learned | that Bianchard was er suspicion of | the murder he secured a revolver, and, basing him around the deck, fired six shots at him, none of which, however, took effect. Later Ammon again tried to kill him, and the captain had to force the two men apart at the point of a pistol Blanchard was afterward put in irons and taken to Montevideo, where he was turned over to the Uniteda States Consul, who re- | turned him to this country on the Yantic, { whicn arrived at Hampton Roads yester- | da; Blanchard 1s expected here on Mon- day.

The clubbouse was crowded. Bayard was introduced amid great ap- plause and seid: *Perhaps there is a distinction between good-feeling and diplomacy which I can- not clearly appreciate, but as the only diplomacy I ever professea or practice | was the diplomacy of simple good-faith and honor, gool-feeling naturally ran in the same current and never was for- gotten.” He read the preamble fo the peace treaty with Eogl ed in 1783, 1 w need of good-feeling between the countries is emphasized, aud continue “I was endeavoring aiways to be representative of my countrymen, not of their passions, iealousies and animosities, or of the amoizions, prejudices or self-in- terests of individuals or classes—by seek- ng agreement and not agreement. I ve steadily sought to accept kindly courtesy as absolule international gooa faith, and in all my dealings 1o be, in short, a representative of the affections, not the passions, of the peopie of thé 1wo great nations vetween whom such affini- ties, sacred, moral and intellectual, exist.” Bayard severely criticized the tariff bill legislaiive defiance of the equality of rights guaranteed by the constitution, as a perilous experiment, and as increasing the present socialistic tendencies in the Nation. e et “OWNEX” IS DEAD AT LAST, Found Aecessary to Kill the Famous Canine Postal Iramp TOLEDO, Owmio, June —Owne; the famous canine postal tramp, is dead at last.

BRIBERY {.‘lflfIUT SAVE BARTLEY. Sensations Grewing Out of the Trial of the Ex-State Treasurer for Steal- ing Helf @ Mill.on. OMAHA, Nepp, June 12.—To-day the tate closed its testimony in the trial of ex-State Treasurer Josenh Bartley, ac- cused of stealing $500,000 of State funds. Just one week bas been consumed 1n pre- senting the State’s case. It has developed one of the sensations 1 the history of criminal jurisprudence in Nebraska. The opening was exceedingly sensational, re- sulting in Amos Wricht being sent to prison for two years for trying to bribe the Bartley jury to acquit. There was undoubtedly a plot on the part of those who are believed to have profited by Bartley's stealings to help the prisoner by spending money freely, but the prompt action of the court in sen- tencing Wright put an end to the plot. Wright refused to make public the names of those who employed him to do the work, maintaining that the men were strangers to hin. The particular crime for which the State is holding out for con- vietion is the sale of a State warrant for $200,000 by Bartley to the Chemical Na- tional Bank of New York. It is sald an effort will be made 10 recover some of the money stolen by Bartley and Icaned to prominent individual e LOOKED AT THE PASTOR AND DIED Sensational Suicide of a Gray-Haired, Well-Dressed Woeman ct a Special Prayer-Meetirg.

Some Mills Compeiled to Run Day and Night to Meet the Demand. There Is Also Great Actlvity In the Tin Plate Business and Orders Are Heavy. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 12.—Pros- perity seems to have reached the iron and steel industries and the outlook at the producing mills was never more promis- ing. Although this season is usually the dullest of the year, orders are strong, and the principal mills are running full time. Reports from Pittsburg say the Carnegie Steel Company’s ‘piants at Duquesne, Braddock and Homestead are running night and day. The company has enough orders for steel rails to keep the plants going six months. It is also stated that the tinplate indus- try is busier now than at any time in its history. The Newcastle, New Kensing- ton, Star, Monongahela and American companies have sold all their output for the next six months, and several of the concerns have ordersenouzh to keep them going a year. The activity of the fur- naces will also start up the coke pits, and employment will be provided for thou- sands. Other mills which have been idle a long time are preparing to start up next week. Among theseare the Oliver Steel Company and the Hubbard, Mariba and Rosena furnaces. CROOKED MILITARY DOCTORS. They Accepted Bribes to Lat Peasants Escape Serv ce—Betrayed by a Su.cide’s Confession.
