THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1897. 3 RANKS OF THE STRIKERS SWELL Accessions From Men Employed by De Armitt. Dolan Issues Orders to Main- tain a Pacific At- titude. As There Ara No Disorderly Pro- ceedingsin Pennsylvania Troops Wil Not Turn Out. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 3.—The strik- ing miners appear to have received acces- sions from W. P. de Armitt’s miners. President Dolan says the Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek mines are closed down, only a few. men being at work, and Secretary Warner claims that only 200 out of 450 miners are at work at the Plum Creek mine. Permanent camps have been es- tablished near the three mines. It is the intention to have no more than 300 men ateach camp. Later the number will be reduced to 100. An order was issued by Dolan to-night to strictly maintain a pacific attitude. A gereral manager is appointed for the camp at Tartle Creek, and enjoined to arrest and punish all viotators of the peace. The general public is also invited to help arrest all strikers guilty of a breach of the peace. Brigadier-General John A. Wiley to-day conferred with -the colonels of the local miiitia regiments. He said he sees no need of calling out the guard, as the strik- ers are orderly. The strikers had a parade to-night at Turtie Creek similar to the one last night. Members of other laber organizations took part. Preparations are under way for a big sympathy meeting on the wharf Thursday night. Debs and others Friday night Debs will speak eek. >OLIS, Ixp., Aug. 3.—A com- mittee of striking miners last night visited the mine belonging to the Indiana Coal Company, in Clay County. and endeav- ored to persuade Walter Wright to stop work. -. Wright refused. During an altercation he struck William Danijels, a member of the committee. Danfels seized a heavy club and struck ght on the head, fracturing his skull, t died tnis afternoon. local relief committee met this The afternoon and ordered $300 sent to the ers. Reports received to-day show the list of miners needing help is rapidly increasing. Sixteen hundred in Clay County are dependent upon charity. The ccal-miners at the Western Coal ahd Iron Company's No. 1 shaft are on stiike, the company having discharged the union check weighma; ALTOONA, Pa., Aug. 3.—The striking miners at Hastings, Cambria County, have ‘instituted proceedings by entering thirty-two suits to compel payments for the “fifth ton,” which they allege has been stolen frem them. The defendant overators are W. P. Duncan, M. L. Spangler, James L. Nicholson, George and Ed Nicholson. The miners set forth that the robberies amounted to 20 per cent of their earnings during June, and in addition to being robbed of every fifth car they put out they have been compelled to dig 2500 pounds coal for a ton. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp, Aug. 3.—March- ing miners about 150 strong with several wagon-loads of provisions left Washing- ton last night on a crusade to the mines in Southern Indicna, where 500 or 600 men have continued at work. At Littles and Cannelburg the men came cut readily, and the march has been continued to Ayrshire, where 200 men are digging coal. Wooley’s men at Petersburg have quit, notwithstanding that Wooley made each of them & present of a $5 gold piece a few daysago and is paying full-scale wages. The crusaders will go on to Princeton, then to Evansville district. WYOMING- STAGE HELD UP, Two Masked Men Expect to Make a Haul, but Get Nothing for Their Fisk. CHEYENNE, Wryo., Auz. 3.—Two masked men, believed to be members of the Buck Cassady band of outlaws, held up the southbound Lander-Rawlins mail- coach yesterday morning and rifled the mail pouches. The holdup was made as the coach was coming through the draw, a mile out of Lost Soldier station. The driver was com- pellea to dismount at the point of re- volvers, and-whiile one of the robbers kept him covered the other ransacked the express packages and cut open the mail potiches. All the registered letters were taken and the remainder of the mail scattered on the road. There were no passengers on the coach. The registered mail, so far as known, contained little of value. The robbers were evidently disappointed at the mea- gerness of their haul and suddenly com- manded the driver to drive on. At the stage station there was no one but a stock-tender, and no pursuit of the robbers was attempted until to-day, when TUnited States Murshal McDermott with some deputies started on their trail. It is believed that the robbers expectea the coach to contain a big express ship- ‘ment of gold dust from the Atlantic City mines near Lander. This shipment was madde, however, on the preceding coach, coming through safely. The Buck Cassady gang, consisting of about twenty outlaws, has a rendezvous in Brown Park, near the Colorado-Wyom- iog line. Smali parties ol the gang ride “into Uiah, Colorado or Wyoming and hold up.country stores and banks. During the past two months they have robbed the Montpelier (Idaho) bank, Fort Bridger store and pastoftice, robbed a Mexican sheepherder of $400 an¢ would probably have held up the Union Pacific passenger train had not their plans been discovered and armed guards run on all trains of the Wyoming and Utah divi- sions. The Government has a standing reward of §500 for the capture of each mail- robber. g Jiwined in the Cause of Decency. BERLIN, Germaxy, Aug. 2.—Herr Otto, edior of the Artiste, a paper in the inter- :est of pure vaudeville, has been fined 2000 marks and ordered to vpay 2000 marks damages to Lona Barriston, one of the noted Barriston sisters. Lona claimed defamation of character. Otto is finan- cially ruined by the judgment. Miners to Lay Down Their PATRICK DOLAN, President of the District Mine-Workers’ Union at Pittsburg, Arrest:d Monday While Preparing to Lead a Detachment of Strikers to the De Armitt Mines at Plumb Creek, Where They Intended to Urge the Working Coal- Picks and Join the Strike. 70 IREDGE THE YUKON FOR GOLD Continued from First Page. by the hundreds who have been plying him with questions, he took a rest to-day at the Clifford home. To-day he visited a number of relatives and friends and drove about the city looking at old landmarks. Clements was seen by a CALL reporter just before he took the train for Los An- geles. He said he had spent most of his time while in San Francisco dodging re- porters, aud that he had never before been interviewed, but soon he was talking enthusiastically of the Kiondyke gold- fields. He claims to have been the first to strike gold on El Dorado Creek, locat- ing claims 4 and 5. He went with five others from Los Angeles a year ago last March, but did not make a strike until la-t September, when he found dirt that would run $700 to the pan. He has a number of claiwms and town lots in Daw- son. Clements advises those who intend to go to the Yukon not to go there until spring. of yellow metal Klondyke region. s FOR CARRYING MAILS. Government Contracts to Increase the Postal Facilities In the Yukon Country. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 3— Owing to the great numberof citizens who have gone or contemplate going to the Klondyke, the rostoffice Department has made additional contracts for carrying mails in that region. Since July 1 con- tracts for mail over what is known as the ‘“‘overiand route’’ from Juneau to Circle City have been made by the depart- ment. The round trip over Chiikoot Pass and by way of tbe chain of lakes and Lewis River takes about a month, The ce- partment has just been notified by the contractor’s agent that three carriers would start from Juneau on July 12. An- other party would start on August 1, and there would be a partv to leave regularly on the 1st of each month thereaiter. The cost is about §600 for the round trip. Chil- koot Pass is crossed with the mail by means of Indian carriers. In winter trans- portation is carried on by means of dog- sieds, and it is hoped uuder the present contracts there will be no stoppage, no matter how low the temperature may go. The contractor has reported that he was sending a boat in sections by way of St. Michaels up the Yukon River, to be used on the waterway of the route, and it is thought much time will be saved by this, as heretofore it was necessary for carriers to stop and build boats to pass the lakes. For the summer season contracts have been made with two steamboat com- panies for two trips between Seattle and St. Michaels. When the steamers reach St. Michaels the mail will be transferred to flat-bottom boats running up the Yukon to Circle City. e e TO ISSUE A NEW MAP. The Government to Give Desired Information Regarding Alaska’s Go'd Flelds. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 3.—Owing to numerous calls on the Government for information regarding the Alaskan gold fields it has been decided to issue another to be taken from the map. It will be made under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner- General of the Land Office, and more com- prehensive than any ever before issued of this region. Commissioner Hermann will immediately coramence its prepara- tion. It will show not only Alaska, but adjacent British possession with Wash- ington and a portion of Oregon ana Cali- fornia, particularly the western seaboard of the United States. It will give ports from which passengers desiring to reach Alaska can sail going by water to Lynn Channel and tnrough the passes with Lakes Bennett and Marsh whichh consti- tute the sources of the Yukon. It will show all the tributaries of the Yukon, and the locations of new cities which have sprung up. Climatic con litions will be noted, especially around Dawson City and Circle City. Commissioner Herrmann in speaking of the map to-day said: “Some very valu- able data now in the possession of this office obtained from various sources not open to the public will be made public property for the first time.” The Secretary of the Interior and Com- missioner-Gereral of 1he Land Office will unite in recommenda ions to the next session of Congress for Nutional legisia- tion on many matters affecting the wel- fare of Aleska. An additional land dis- trict will be de'ignated in the meanwhile with the site of the United States Land Office at some point on the Yukon, proba- bly at Circle City. A SLICK SCHEME. Canadian Dealers Booming the Stik¢en River Route Greatly to Their Own Advantagze. Victoria and Vancouver merchants are strongly urging upon persons going to the He thinks there are yet millions | Yukon country the advantage to be gained by purchasing their outfits and supplies in those cities and taking the Stikeen River route to the Yukon basin, as they can go up that river by steamer some | sixty miles beyond the boundary line, as ciaimed by the United Siates, without landing, and so get their goods thro ug: without paying any duty, whereas by purchasing in tbe United States they must pay duty by whichever route they go. Any one contemplating this divergence from the popalar and well-established routes would do well to examine into the matter thoroughly before doing so. The popalarity which the Juneau and Chilcoot route has enjoyed for years past in which people have been going to the upper Yukon was not by accident, but be- cause it was by far the shortest and most well-defined, and taken altogether in com- parison with either of the other routes to the south it was the best, even though for a short distance just at the summit it presented great difficulties in tie shape of steep ascents and sharp déclivities. With this exception its disadvantages are shared by all the others. After the Chilcoot route must come the Skagaway and Whites Pass route, which is a few miles longer but not so safe, as it is not so well defined; then the Moores Pass, with the same objection. These three, starting near each other at the head of Chilcoot | Intet, with the difference of a few miles travel (not over thirty by the longest) land the traveler at the head of Lake Linderman, below which they become one. The next route to the south is the Taku River route, which, while it may be most practicable for a highway or railroad, is too long as compared with the other for foot travel and packing. It'is nearly 100 miles from Juneau to the divide which separates the valley of the Taku from the headwaters of the stream flowing north- west into Atlin Lake, and not until that lake is reached is water travel available. The lowest and last, as well the long- est ot all the overland routes, is that by way of the Stikeen or Siikine River—the one so strongly urged by the merchants and traders of the Canadian cities. With the exception of the intangible satisfac- tion which some men may feel at being able to get to the land of gold without touching their feet on American soil, it is difficult to see what this route has to recommend it. True, the traveler can go on a light- draught steamer as far up as Telegraph Creek, some 120 miles from the mouth and well into British Columbian territory, but when arrived there and disembarked, though he may have met no United States customs officers, he has before him a land journey of at least 135 miles through an unbroken wilderness, as it were, and across mountaic ranges as high if not higher than those on the more northern route, There is indeed some rolling country, bearing in season food for cattle, but it lies not altogether in the direction to be traveled, Then, even when at Lake At- Iin, the distance is greater by nearly two days’ travel to the Lewis River, where | the routes oin, than from the head of Leke Linderman. in urging this route upon the people the Canadian merchants must in their desire for their own gain lose sight altogether of the outcome for their customers. They outfit him and send him for a con- sideration by a Canadian steamer to Tele- graph Creek and their concern thers ends. Should the boundary as claimed by the British be finally conceded they will con- trol the sea approaches 1o al! the north- ern routes and it is safe to say that the Stikeen River route will then be seldom mentioned. Time is money to the Yu- koner and until a railroad takes him from tidewater to navigable fresh water beyond the divide the Chilcoot route will be fol- lowed because it saves time. TURKISH SHIPS IN CRETE. Action of the Tricky Sultan That May Again Complicate the Eastern Situation. CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Aug. 3.— Turkish warship: have l.ft the Darda- nelles for Crete. Three vessels sailed last evening. As the foreign admirals have announced they would forcibly oppose the landmg of more Turkish troops at Crete, in disregard of the Sultan’s promise to withdraw the present fo:ces, there is considerable apprehension over this new move, which bids fair to offer an aggres- sive sequel to the Turkish Governor's re- ply to the admirals that he would not ac- cept their decision. ATHENS, GREECE, Aug. 3.— Premier Ralli authorizes a denial of the statement made yesterday that King George had un- alterably decided to abdicate in the event of external control being imposed on the Greek financss. Ralli declares the King did not threaten to abdicate, but will support the Government to the utmost in opposing the plan of the powers to take over the control of the finances. e Coming Fventin the Mariborowgh Family LONDON, ExG., Aug. 3 —The Daily Mail says: It isexpecied that the Duchess of Marlborough. formerly Miss' Consuelo Vanderbiit of New York, will be ac- couched in September. She will come to the ducal town residence, 104 Mount streeet, Grosvenor square, for the occasion. WEYLER' WILY PEACE TERNS Spurned by Gomez and Every Insurgent in the Field. A Home-Rule Scheme to More Thoroughly Enslave the Island. Wocdford's Arrival at Madrid Anx- iously Awalted—It Is Belleved to Portend Trouble. HAVANA, Cuss, Aug. 3.—The pro- posals of peace made by Weyler 10 Gomez, to discuss which the Captain-General asked the privilege of an interview, which Gomez refused, were embodied in the fol- lowing four articles: 1. The insurgents to lay down their arms in the six provinces ot the island. 2. All insurgents ncw in arms to be par- doned by Spain and facilities afforded them to leave the isiand or fix their residence in auy part of Cuba where they may wish to live. 3. Cubans abroad in sympathy with the rev- olution or engaged in foreign countries in helping the insurgent army to be pardoned by Spain and means given (o the poor among them to return to their native land. 4. Home rule to be granted to Cuba. Under this new system Cuban municipalities will be authorized to control their finances. General essemblies, In which the six provinces shall be represented according to their pop- ulation, will have control of all municipal snd provincial affairs. The Captain-General will preside over this body and have the right to veto its decisions, but all decisions shall be finally submitted to the Ministry of Colonies at Madrid. The Cap- tain-General will elect all civil employes ex- cent heads of departments, but will in all cases submit to the Ministry of Colonies three names of candidates for each important post. The Ministry at Madrid will appoint one among the three provosed. Cuba will pay the ex- penses of the Spanish army that may be de- tailed for service in Cuba, the extent of service to be decided by the Ministry of Colonies. All possible efforts will be made to satisfy the claims of Cuban commerce and industry with regard to tariff. This plan is said to be a step in advance of the earlier scheme of reforms proposed by the Government. Not a word is said in this scheme about the debt—nearly $500,000,000—but Cuba is made responsible for this aebt after the conclusion of peace in all contracts signed by the Spanish Government with money lenders. Far- thermore, the whole plan leaves the fate of the Cubans absolutely in the hands of the captain-gen-ral and the Madrid Gov- ernment, as it has always been. The powers given municipalities and local assemblies are hardly nominal, and it can be truthfully said that the condi- tions of the Cubans under so-called home rule would be worse, if possible, than be- fore. A Spanish Captain-General will al- ways, naturally, favor Spanish residents against the interest of the natives. As already announced, Gomez reiected the proposals with scorn. Not a Cuban in the field would ac¢ept them. In Havana the uncompromising Span- 1ards and the Marquis of Montro—a Cuban by birih, but reared in Madrid and full of Spanish sympathies—are the only | pertons to welcome the so-called ‘“home rule.”” Weyler's attempt to secure a meeting with Gomez for the purpose of urging him to sign a treaty of peace was prompted by the general apprehension which prevails in Government circles at Madria as well as here regarding instructions given by McKinley to Woodford. Even the war, whose present phase threatens Havana itseif, does not claim so much attention as Woodiord’s mis- sion. Canovas has cabled to Weyler ordering him to try to arrive at an under- standing with the insurgents before the American Minister could make any pro- posals to Spain, and authentic informa- tion from Madrid says that Canovas and Sagasta have agreed to stop their dissen- sions until it is seen what the American Minister is going to do. According to a dispatch from Madrid, Sagasta has telegraphed to all members of bis party in the provinces to cease all at- tacks upon the Government and the United States. The Spanish authorities believe Woodford is going to propose a settlement of the war on the basis of in- demnity to be paid by Cuba to Spain on condition of complete independence of the island. From weil-informed persons [ learn that this information has been re- ceived at the Captain-General’s palace from the Spanish legation at Washington. SEEEC G o ENCUURSGING TO CUBANS, EBamero Mazorra Brings Iinportant News From 1heir Guvernment. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 3.—Ramero Mazorra, who arrived Monday on the steamer Antilia from Nassau, is the bearer of important civil military dispatches from the Cuban Government to the Junta in thiscity. Mazorra left Cuba Juiy 16 in asmall catboat accompanied by a nezro acquaintea with the course between Cuba and Nassau. Th-y started from Punta Ganado, a few miles from the port of Neuvitas, After sixty-six hours’ rough sailing the little boat reached Nassau in satety. Over 300 suits 8¢ clothing were purchased in Nassau and loaded with this freight the pilot returned alone to Cuba. Mazorra then took passage on the Antilia. Mazorra said yesterday the situation of the insurgents was never more promising. The provinces of Santiago de Cuba and Camaguey were practically free. Spanish troops seldom venture out, and when they do it 1s almost in a direction where they are sure of not encountering any rebel forces. There is plenty of food in the eastern part of the island, but the insur- gents are suffering considerably from a lack of clothing and medicine, both of which are almost impossible to obtain. The Cuban government of late has been stationed on omne of the largest hills in Camaguey province. The Spanish have never attacked the spot, as they know such an attempt would result disastrously. In speaking of the coming election Mazorra said Bartolomeo Masso, the pres- ent Vice-President, will undoubtedly be elected. It was thought at fir.t that Gen- eral Garcia would be the next President, but the delegates have determined .to elect Masso, as a majority of the army wish General Garcia to be the first Presi- dent after Cuba has freed herself. It has also been decided 10 establish a house of representatives and elect Salvado Uisneros its president. - Orders were brought to this city by Mazorra for the establishment of two deiegations in the Southern States of this country. These delegates will have the same power as Estrada Palma, and will ‘not be under his orders. The aelegate at Washington will also be independent. ! WRECKED BY A Bll: ICEBERG British Steamer Furter Is Sunk Off the New- foundland Coast. Officers and Crew Take to the Boats and Are Finally Picked Up. For Forty-Nine Hours the Ship- wrecked Men Drifted Until Rescued by the Sagamore. BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 3.—The British steamer Furter of London sank off New- foundland July 7, after being in collision with a big iceberg and later burnine to the water’s edge. The shipwrecked crew, numbering twenty-one men, were brought here to-day on board the Warren line steamer Sagamore, Captain Alexander Fenton, which picked up the men at sea after they had suffered for forty-nine hours without provisions in the open boats. The Furter, under command of Captain D. J. Jenkins, sailed from West Bay, N. 8., on June 23 for Barry, Wales. The names of the rescued men are: Captain, D. J. Jenkins; first otticer, W. 8. Lamlin; first engineer, J. W. Wilson; steward, G. E. Sparks; second engineer, A. P. Coulter; third engineer, S. McFerran; second mate, J. Jones; cook,J. E. Natt; second steward, A. Wood; fireman, G. Jones, and Seamen A. Sweeney and A. Bending, all natives of England, while the following members of the crew are natives of France: A. Baily, fireman, and Seamen J. Manarch, L. J. Mari, H. Chantry, L. Lostoe, J. Brisouillier, M. Lefrere, C. Allain and J. Paschis. Chief Officer W. S. Tamlin told the story of the wreck to THE Ca.L corre- spondent as follows: *On June 27, at1:30 o’clock, the steamer ran into a towering iceberg, which stove in her bow and compelled her to make for 8t. Johns, N. F., where she wasdrydocked. Three weeks later our interrupted voyage was continued. On July 25 a strong gale set in, accompanied by heavy seas and drenching rain. The terrific seas caused her to spring a leak. We remained on board until 2:30 o’clock in the morning ot the 27th, when we lowered four boats and left the doomed steamer. The ves- sel caught fire and when we left her she was fast sinking in the water. We re- mained in the boats for forty-nine hours, suffering considerably from the cold, and were drenched to the skin by the rain. “At midnight we sent up rockets, in hope of attracting the attention of some craft, but in this we were unsuccessful until the Sagamore bore down on us, took us on board and brought us safely to this port. Our personal effects were lost in the wreck. She went to the bottom within a few hours.” The Furter was a steel steamer, owned by J. Holman & Sons of Londoa. Sie was formerly named the Tyneaale. Her registered tonnage was 1404 net and 2217 gross. TESLA’S LATEST DISCOVERY. The Great [nventor Juggles With Electricity Befors a Few Intimate Friends. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 3.—Before a few intimate friends to-day Nicola Tesla tested his latest discovery—simultaneous transmission of messages by means of the earth’s currents to as many scattered points as desired. He had his rooms in the laboratory darkened. From a room adjoining the one in which he and his visitors stood a current was turned on invisibly, A huge black disk hung on a frame about eight feet in diam- eter, from the center of which protruded a brass electrode seven inches in diameter. As the group gazed at this the apartment was filled with a crackling sound which, as it increased, sounded like the rattle of musketry. Bright flames shot from the electrode, not from pole to pole as in the ordinary demonstrations. Like fiery serpents wavy coils of flame darted in graceiul lines around thedisk., Thelongest sparks were fully eight feet from the point where they burst into dazzling ‘brilliancy to the van- ishing point. These electrical sparks were undoubtedly the longest flashes of light ever produced by similar means. Tesla explained that this was to create a disturbance of the earth’s natural elec- tricity which, with the aid of a few simple instruments, could be felt all over the globe. Thus messages could be taken up from any part of the earth without the in- tervention of wires. He said the voltage generated by his machine was almost be- yond computation. PRICE OF WHEAT ADVANCING. And the §t. Louis Pool Promises to Make a Tremendous Cleanup. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 3.—Wheat made new high records ir the local mar- ket to-day for this crop detivery. Further enormous purchases for export were the leading influences in advancing prices. At least 800,000 bushels of wheat were bought for shipment abroad. In addition interior points reported a large cash busi- ness, nearly 300,000 busnels of cash wheat being sold in Chicago. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 3.—Opeators on 'Change who huve been jredicting dollar wheat saw many indications of a realiza- tion of their hopes to-day, when the biggest bulge of the season accurred. 1t was the quickest and largest sioce the memorable bulge last fall, The market was station- ary over night, the opeéning being 793 cents, Monday’s closing price. From that figure the price of Beptember option went as high as 823 yet there was no outward indication of a bulge, - The pit was quiet as if it were the dullest day of the year. After to-day’s development there is little doubt of the determination of the St. Louis pool to corner the market. As stated Bunday, the St. Louis combination, headed by ex-Secretary of the Interior Francis, has been quietly buying wheat since June, and now controls over hali the availa ble supply. —— KILLED WHILE SPARRING, A4 Little Boy Sucoumbs to a Blow Uver the Heart. NEWARK, N. J,, Aug. 3.—While box- ing to-day John Flynn, aged 14, received a blow over the heart from which he died. The boy who struck him, Frederick Kreichler, aged 13, was 80 terrified that he A ) B 2 R ) A ) ) i ) R R ) e D ) ) e G G222 at first fainted, and afterward fled, run- ning until he dropped from exhaustion. The bout was entirely friendly, and the boys, in view of the fact that they had no gloves, agreed not to hit each other in the face. They were laughing and chatting while they sparred. Suddenly Freichler feinted, and, as his opponent stepped for- ward, planted his fist over Flynn’s heart. Flynn sank to the ground with a croan, dying before the doctors arrived. Freich- ler is now locked up. e BAMNKER SPALDING'S COLLAPAME, Mind and Boiy Gire Way as His Dis- honesty Is Fxposed. _ CHICAGO, Irn, Aug. 3.—Charles Spald- ing, the ex-vanker, has become a physical and mental wreck. The excitement of bis failure two months ago, with the ex- pose of his dishonesty, the indictments and three trials, have proven too much for him, and his healtn and mind have been seriously impaired. He will proba- bly be taken to the county hospital for treatment. Until the failure of the Globe Savings Bank Spalding was one of the most re- spected business men in Chicago. When | tue failure of that institution took place | last May it was learned that for months | Spalding had been misappropriating funds held by him. The failure of the bank also brought out a story of domestic infelicity, for he had practizally.aban- doned his family to lavish attentions and large sums of money cn the young womean typewriters employed in his office. Then followed the action of the Grand Jury, which found twenty-nine ini?cl-! ments agamst him. At that time it was reported that he was losing his mind, but in the period that elapsed beiore his trial he recovered his health in great measure. Although the trials on the first two in-. dictments resulted in verdicts of acquittal on technicalities, yet he was under great menta: strain the whole time, and when on the third trial a verdict against him was rendered he broke down completely. It is believed thar complete rest, even if it be within the walis of a penitentiary, will restore his health. g Floods in Colorado. DENVER, Coro., Aug. 3.—Heavy rains again caused considerable damage throughout the eastern portion of Colo- rado this afternoon. At 4 o’clock it be- came so dark in Denver that little work could be none without artificial hght. Near Castle Rock a cloudburst swelled Plum Creek so that several'wagon bridges were swept away. Cherry Creek also be- gan to boom from rains falling twenty- five miles_southeast of the city. Asa re- sult the Piatte was so swollen that the police warned all families living in the bottoms. to seek higher ground. Wash- outs are reported on several railroads. - Chicago Gas Combine Incorporates.
