F. ebke of 8t. Louis assaulted Miss Amelia iss, also of St Louis, while driving 1 B S out on Third street, a fashionable boule- vard of Louisville, last night, and he was arrested. A relative of Miss Bayliss en- deavored to-day to have the case hushed up «nd Liebke released in order to escape notoriety, but City Judge Thompson re- fuse¢ and Liebke was held under $5000 bonds. Miss Bayliss moves in the best society of Lonisville and St. Louis. She came here on a v sit and Liebke came with her. Liebke gav} a dinner to her young friends of the swell set at the Galt House on Monday night, where a good deal of champagne was drunk. There an en=age- ment was made for a call last evening on a mutual friend. A short distance out on the boulevard, -while the carriage was going fast, Miss Bayliss began screaming for help and sev- eral young men started to the rescue on bicycles. Just before they reached her the docr of the carriage was thrown open and she jumped out, still screaming, while Liebke ordered the driver to go on. The young men knew Miss Bayliss and she was helpéd bome, after which they started to nd Liebke, threatening to lynch him. Liebke was not discovered until 4 o’clock this morning, when he returned to the Galt House. He virtually admitted the assault, but said he was drunk. He said he had been engaged to the girl. He suc- ceeded in giving & bond to-night and was released. W. N. Bayliss, father of the girl, left St. Louis for this city this afternoon, vowing to kill Liebke, who isa son of the presi- dent of the Liebke Hardwood Lumber and Milling Company. e AU UNPROVOKED WIFE-MURDER. fi Several Posses Hunting the Culprit, Bent on Lynching. BUFFALO, N. Y., Auc. 7.—Warren Widrig, a worthless wife-beating resident of Springville, Erie County, shot and in- stantiy killed his wife at 11:30 last night. The crime was committed in the presence of Miss Etta Ware, who had called at the Wildrig farmhouse to see her pet dog, which Mrs. Wildrig was keeping. After murdering his wife Widrig fired a parting shot at Miss Ware and escaped. The bullet grazed the young woman’s wrist. Miss Crandall, who was in a bugey out- sice, drove to the village and raised an alarm. Piysicians found the dead body in‘a pool cf blood on the kitchen floor. News of the crime spread rapidly and soon the hLouse was surrounded by hun- dreds of citizens, wno formed into armed posses and began a systematic search of all the roads. The Deputy Sheriff swore in all the men he could and armed them 1o prevent lynching, which the mob declared would be done if Widrig fell into their hands. All night and through the day posses have followed each trail. To-night it was reported that Widrig bad been located in the timber land seven miles from Spring- ville and that armed men have sur- rounded the woods. Sheriff Lamy will have s hard time to keep the murderer from a quick death if the enraged men of Springville catch bim first. Widrig’s crime was unprovoked. Mrs, Widrig was respected by ail the villagers, while he wasdetested for his many crimes. He has confessed to arson, assault,4arceny and burglary. g Will Reply to Japan. NEW YORK, N.

F, agenis. * ONE FAIR Sail To-Morrow, There were siyiy-three of them, besides the crew, when®the steam schooner Na- i tional City backed out of the dock at Fol- | som street at 7 o’clock last evening and slowly struck her gait en route for where the Yukon meets an icy sea. These Yukon expeditions are different. | Each nas a character and manner of its own. Allare eloquent o adventure, b ut some leave laden with La France roses and with plush cushions for cabin passen- gers, and some lack costly culls from the eardens and the red plush. Some carry passengers who bear silver whisky flasks and some don’t. Itdepends on the vessel and the crowd and the price, and the crowd depends on the vessel and the price. Tke National City was the second of the specially chartered vessels to get away, the first being the Noyo, hence for | Dyea Thursday nignt. The National City, however, was the first of the banch of perilous expeditions by way of the Yukon River. She is a stout, dirty, steam schocner that was yanked out of the coast lumber trade a few days ago to make more money in the coast goid trade. Herriman & Mills chartered ber from Hooper & Co., planned a way of getting people to the | | Klondike and went to registering passen- gers at once. Asthe Yukon is the most | desirable route, if it can be traveled at all, | these late expaditions by the river are be- ing well patronized. The fare on this vessel was placed at to Dawson, with the privilege of one ton of bageage and supplies, and so the fares shoull aggre- gate $14,1 The steamer’s sppearance was as rough and ready as her trip and quite appro- priate to an expedition to the world’s | frontier. New lumber, mostly in the rough, showed everywhere about her decks, in contrast with the dingy white of the rest of tne vessel. On each side amidships an immense vin of coal towered ten feet above the rail, and a tremendous water cask rose higher still. A big, new covered cabinway went from the forward deck to the holg, and on deck on either side were lashed the steam-launch Hettie B and a great pine barge, pitched within and without. All the wise men that came and saw the steam launch said, “I'll bet $4 that when she strikes a six-mile current up the river, loaded down herself and with that big barge piled full behind her, she'll just quit going.”” But it was not the busi- ness of wise stay-at-homes whether the launch and the barge got stuck in the Yukon for the winter or not. When the National City ‘gets to St Michaels, two weeks or more hereafter, and if everything is all right so far, the launch and barge will be swung off inta, the | water and quickly loaded down with the passengers and freight, and the 2000 mile | trip up the river will soon begin. There | are sandbars and swift currents and a big freeze is coming soon, but they are cour- | ageous fellows on the National City and | everybody wished them the finest luckin | Alaska. The bustling on board and about the whar! grew into hot hurrying yesterday afternoon and the baggage that kept hur- rying up in express-wagons kept going aboard, while carpenters and smiths cracked ahead the work to b2 done on the steamer. The crowd was of several hundreds, and few of the fellows leaving from the City were 8o poor as to have no good-byes from mothers, sisters, cousins or_sweethearts. The departure came at a little after 7 p. . instead of 4 o’clock. The old man’s warning came a few min- utes before they cast away. He sells corn medicine and some sort of a charcoal prep- aration about the water front, and he earn- estly shouts the same farewell warning at the crowded side of every vessel that leaves for Alaska. Just before sailing he gets near the side of the ship where the pas- sengers are crowded ana, taking off his hat, shouts: *‘*Whaushall it protit a raan if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’ Prepare for the second coming of Christ, which is near at hahd. Read the last chapter of Daniel, with refer- ences.” When the Willamette was about to sail the other day he interrupted the swearing at t.e mules they were getting aboard, and a policeman grabbed him by the back of the neck and bustled him back for dis- turbing the peace. Twenty minutes before they cast off a young fellow rattled up with an express wagon in which he had piled big bundles of beans, bacon and what not that he had hastily bought at a supply store, and was soon happy amid the confusion aboard. Then a corpulent German who is going to be rich soon came down the gang and oft kissed his tearful wife, and all was ready. The ship siowly moved and they cheered. Soon she squared away for the Golden Gate, and they cheered again. All was confusion on board at the leaving, for the vessel is crowded and things were hastily piled aboard. Of the goldseekers who went a majority were from various places about the State, as isthe case with all the expeditions now getting ready to leave. Amongthose are: Dr. Alvin Plummer, long editor of the Masonic journal, the Trestle Board: Henry Domville, a son of Admiral Dom= | ville of the Briusb navy, and a party “* SAILED AT EVE FOR A LONG NIGHT The Nationa! City, Brave and Dirty, Is Off for St. Michaels. .

Kuehn and Fred Woerner, But cne woman is aboard, Mrs. Garratt, who goes with her husband, W. 1. Garratt, son of the foun- dryman of that name. The couple go to way to Dyea with passengers the Oregon would never have been calied upon, but now she will have to emerge irom her two years’ reiirement at Sausalito, Her first cargo will be taken from the Spear-street wharf, and the Columbia wiil dock at Fremont street until the glut is over. Among the vessels which have been de- serted bv their crews are the barkentine Tam O'Shanter and the schooners Ida ! McKay, Oiga and John G. Wall, Justas the vessels were ready to sail the Klon- dike craze struck the men, and now nine- tenths of them are on their way to Daw- | son. In consequence *he captains and | owners and the Ship-owners’ Association are scouring the town for men toman their boats. HEALY MAY GET RICH. | }He Early Left St. Michaels for ! the Goldfields. Captain Healy, the former commander of the United States steamer Bear, was at St. Michaels when the first miners came down trom Klondike with their bags of gold. This was on June 20, and the vet- eran commander did not lose a moment’s time, but at once set forth for the diggings. He wrote that he m ight possibly come down on the Portland, the last steamer | leaving there, to arrive herein November, | but that if ne found the stories of the | miners fully corroborated as he wentup the Yukon he might stay through the winter, It is believed the captain has a good | | show for a fortune, especially as he got on the ground early and before any of the Jelegations of fortune-hunters from San Francisco or any other place on the coast could start. It he has reaped a fortune he will not need to eare whether the Govern- ment reinstates him to official place. THE ADCOCKS WENT. The Miiliner and Her Family Sailed as the Adlers on the Noyo. Among the passengers on the Noyo last | Wednesday, bound ior the Klondike, were | Mrs. Kate Adcock, her husband, three | sons and a niece, who were listed as E. Adler and five. Mrs. Adcock has for some time been manager of a millinery-store on Kearny street, owned by Ler son, Charles E. Ad- . Fleischman, Flaville S. Whittier and Es- tel'a Wolf, $100 each.

Cole, Thomas J. Parsons, George F. Da- vidson, S. K. Thornton, W. W. Kaufman, I R. Burns, F. McPherson and William Blaisdell. WOODSMEN .GOING. Eight From Humboldt County Lay Down the Ax for the Pick. A party of eight men from Humbodtl County, most of whom are woodsmen who have been toiing for yearsin the redwoods, arrived a!the Russ House yes- terday on their way to the Klondike. They are as follows: Ray Davidson, G. L. McCoy, T. E. Wooldridge, W. E. Mc- Donongh, H. H. McNuity, J. W. Ham- mer, E. A. Hammer ana H. Lytel. They will sail on the Umatilla to-morrow and go in by Dyea. None of them are grub-staked, so it is said, but are going on their own account. They are strong, stalwart men and appear as well qualified to rough it as most any of the men who have passed tbrough the City. E. B. Wood of Modesto, a business man there, is also at the Russ, and bound for the gold fields. HELD BY UNCLE SAM. The South Coast Could Not Clear and Will Sail To- morrow. The steam schooner South Coast, also for St. Michael, was to have sailed last evening with a large pirty and a big load, but didn’t do so because she didn’t get Uncle Sam’s permission. When application was made at the Cus- tom-house jor clearance papers some cer- tificates of 1inspection were lacking and as it was Saturday afternoon a wait until Monday was unavoidable. The South Coast is taking a good sized party at $500 for the trip to Dawson and b} THE 7AAP SELLER, OID A RUSHING, BUSINESS pr—— WEIGHING 'N.

The exodus for the “land of ice and snow’” has had a material effect on the | labor question in the “land of sunshine, fruit and fldwers.”” At the present time there are three vessels lying in the streag unable to obtain crews, while half a dozen others are patiently awaiting the com ple- tion of their loading. The seawall iy gorged with freight and there is so much on the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company’s wharf that the Columbia will have to seek another wharf on which the ireight and passengers from Portiand can be landed. Steamers in the coastwise trade are all the way from two to five hours late, owing to the fact that so many vessels have been withdrawn from the regular trafiic and put in *‘the rush to Klondike.” In order to relieve the nressure on their lines Goodall, Perkins & Co. bave been compelled to haul the big steamer Oregon out of retirement.and place her on the run to Astoria as a freighsboat. She will carry no passengers, but will simply as- «ist the State of California and the Colum- biain carryving w' eat and merchandise. Had the George W. Eider and the recently chartered Willamette not been on “their cok, and to all appearances the business | was a profitable one.

The son, in whose name the business had been conducted, a short time ago-as- signed the stock to Mrs. M. E. Desmond, one of the employes. Mr. Adcock sold tne property in whicb the family resided at Berkeley for $5000, and the family started for the north to join in the seaic! for gold. The creditors, of whom Butler & Schutze and Holm & Nathaun are the princinal ones, were not_satisfied with the assign- ment to Mrs, Desmond, so neld a meeting, and it was arranged that Mrs. Desmond should reassign the stock to them. The store is in their hands, and now they are carrying on the business. o - MORE EXPLOITERS. Latest Local Companies to Assail the Resources of the Yukon.

The trip up the river is to b> madein the tugboat Governor Stoneman and thesteam launch Esperunzi which were hoisted aboard yesterduy. She was supplied with coal, and with the crowd, the getting of sup- plies aboard and so on, thexcene at Mis- sion-street pier, where she lies, was a busy one. The big steamer Humboldt will leave to-morrow wilh a biy crowd for St. Michuel and will step at Seattle for another gang. The steam schooner Scotia, which will aepart during the week, went to the Mer- chants’ drydock yesterday. The gasoline schooner Chetco is expected to sail on Wednesday with about ten people and 125 tons of merchandise, of which fifty wiil be left at St. Michaels. Though the schooner draws five feet of water, it is planned to attempt the trip up the river clear to Dawson in her. ‘There is going to be some trouble over the charter oi the steam =chooner Caspar. When she was secured by pariies for a trip to Klondike, they put upa deposit of $3000 The owners of the vessel went to work and fitted her out in first-class style. When the charterers abandoned the trip, they wanted some of their deposit back, anu the owners refused to yieid up a cent. Hence the trouble.
