The first one was to some man in Los| Angeles and it said tbat Ward expected to be rearrested at Chicago. ‘If Mrs. | Bradbury wants me to appear I will do | 50 at any-time I can, but I must first see | my -wife and chiidren,” was the way the | dispatch ended. He was always wanting | something and teliing me to be near him toactasa witness. I guess he thought some one was going to lay for him when | he got here. At Fremont, Nebr., he gave | e an unsigned telezram to the chief of detectives in Chicago, asking him to have a policeman to meet a man in the state- | room on the overland train. Because it was not signed the operater would not send it, 8o I put his initials on the bot- tom.” Callaway says that Ward would allow no one but John Drew, the actor, who was going East to his mother’s funeral and who was in the same sleeper, to come into his stateroom. Drew did not stop long in Chicago and could not be seen. | The police believe Ward intended to | end his life in his apariment. They argue that he evidently sent the telegram to | them while’bavine such idea in his miud. | It was his intention, th v, to kil him- | £ and to bav: his body | e when the train ar- | | | | | in rived in This is the only mo- tive, they be could have had in send- ing the telegram. i The clothing and eftects left by the dead man were carefully examined.

There was also found a page from a San Francisco paper of August 30, | giving a life history and picture of Henry Bacon, said 1o be a well-known crim'nal, and who had just been arrested there.

Sept. 3.—The | news of the suicide of W. R it Ward, who gained notoriety by his indiscreet at- tentions to and final elopement with the wife of John Bradbury, the young million- | aire of Los Angeles, was not altogether a | surprise to his most intimate friends of | this cit | From inquiries this afternoon among | his friends it appears that he was men- | tally unbalanced when he jumped from | the train and was kiiled, as evinced by a {elegram which he sent yesterday to John T. Gaffey, the husband of Mrs. Ward's sister. The telegram, which was sgent | from Columbus, Nebr., having been dis- patched when the train which was bear- ing bim East stopped there, clearly | showed that he was in a despondent | mood and terrible state of mind. It reads | as follows: ‘“Am liable to be rearrested | at Chicago. S:e Mrs, Bradbury. Will re- turn when wanted. Must see my wife and children first.” The receipt of this incoherent telegram caused Ward’s friends much anxiety, ana while they were not altogether prepared for the news of the tragedy, they were not entirely surpris:d when it was made pub- lic. 1t has been known for some time that Ward has been drinking to excess and was on the verge of collapse. Among the gossip-loving public Ward’s | death was a great surprise, and the cir- | cumstances of the recent scandal were | again freely discussed. But many were | charitable enough to express a word of | sympsathy for Ward «nd the many per- | sons affected by the recent social scandal. | It is said that Mr. and Mrs. Bradbury are at present at the Tajo mines. near Mazat- " lan, Mex. Mrs. Ward and family are in England. T WARD’S MENTAL COLLAPSE Acted In a Very Strenge Manner After Mrs. Bradbury Left This Clty. After the depariure of Mrs. Bradbury from this City Ward acted queeriy. One of bis friends was beard to express him- self that Ward bad gone dafi. It was cur- rently reported along the street and in the clubs that the man was showing sizns of a mental collapse. Daring the pendency of his case in the- Police Court Ward had be- come “‘freakisb.” It may be that the fear of punishment distressed him, or else the notoriety of the elopement worried him. At any rate his intimate friends have known for some time that the man was on the verge of a breakdown. One of Ward’s fevorite pastimes for the last few days he spent in this City was to | walk about the block of which the Lotta fountain is the center. It was his castom to begin his peregrinations from the inter- section of Kearny and Geary, thence down to the corner of Market and Montzomery streets. From that point he would cross to the Palace Hotel and slowly stroll up Market street to Third, to the place of starting. He has spent houts of late in this occu- pation, and he was a familiar figure totke restless throng that fills this part of tae City. Among bis immediate associates Ward manifested decided signs of eccentricity, even at the time of hisarrest. He wasde- cidedly in love, they say, with Mrs. Brad- bury, and her desertion of Lim in his trouble is believed to have turned his brain. At any rate, Ward was believed to be insane for a week before he left San O FATAL EXPLOSIONS N MINES @ First Page.

DENVER, Covo, Sept. 4.—Word has just reached this city tbat’ the Gulf pas- senger train was held up and robbed at Twin Mountains last night at 11:30 o’clock by two masked men. The men were riding on the blind bag- gage and when near the point named they climbed over the tenders, and covering the engineer and fireman with revolvers they ordered them to stop the train when they reached the road crossing. At the Twin Mountains two men with | four horses were stationed at the road- crossing, and as soon as the train stopped | they began to shoot their revolvers to in- | timidate the passengers. Two of the men entered the express-car, compelled the messengers to vacate, and blew open the safe. Putting the contents into sacks they mounted their horses and rode away. Immediately on receiving the news at Folsom a posse was organized and started in pursuit. A posse was also started from Trinidad. Itis not known how much was secared, but it is imated at from $3900 1o §15,000. The railrosd comvpany has offered a re- ward of $500 for the capture of the robbers. 1 St e COUPER JACK McAULIFFE, The Lightweight Is Now Working at His ora Irade, NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3.—Jack Me- Aubffe, once the idol of pugilism, is again working at the cooper’s trade here in the same shop in which he worked 20 years ago. “I'll tell you bow thisis,’’ he said, “when I became successfal as a pugilist I wore a silk batand long coat and got to dine at ‘Dels’ and other fashionable places. | My constitution stood it fora while, but by and by I found my arms were heavy when i held them up in the ring and it was an effort to go around after my oppo- nent and avoid his rushes. *l don’t think any of my Broadway friends would know me in this rig, do you?” Then, after thinking a moment, Le heaved a sigh and attackea another big pile of staves. ‘‘After my day’s work,” he continued, “I run down to the river and take a swim. From there I go 1o the Hotel St. Andrew, where I live, and 1 am s tired afier eating my dinner that I go to bed at once.” casa P adinl, Vest Marers strike. NEW YORK, N. Y.

Y., fept. 3.—John Brisbane Walker, the inavgurator of the new Cosmopolitan University, said that Dr. Andrews bad a long conference with him to-day, during which the prospectus for the new project was gone over and caretully prepared. E From Mr.” Walker’s remarks nothing else could be inferred but that Dr. An- drews had assumed complete control of the Cosmopolitan University and that he would establish his headquarters at Provi- dence. Late this evening when seen by a repre- sentative of the Associated Press Dr. An- drews gave out the followinz: *The work to be done by the new cor- poration is in the nature of the university extension already begun by B own Uni- versity, so that the head of the Brown University might be the same person who had charge of the new work. *There would in the nature of the case be nothing incongraous in such a union as appears in the fact that President Har- per of Chicago University is also collegi- ate principal ot the Chautauqua Univer- sity. Yet I do not myself so deem that sori of a union in the present case ad- visable or likely to give satisfaction, If resorted to it will be onlv a device to tide over a temporary difficulty. Either tue old enterprise or the new one may itseif sufficiently tax the energies of any one m §)*‘Just what permanent settlement will be arrived at I am not in a position to state. Itis hoped that it will be the one best calculated to further the cause of education.” When asked whether he would with. draw his resignation irom Brown Uni- versity, thedoctor said he could not state positively what he wouid do until be con- ulted the trustees and fellows of Brown University. xR Eight Aymenians to Die.

Its {England’s Title to the Atoll Only Dates Back Eight Years. Has Always Been Conslidered as Belonging to the Kingdom of Hawail. WASHINGTON, D. C., Bept. 3.—Itis intimatea at the State Department that Great Britain shows an inclination to in- | sist upon her claims to Paimyra Island. Her claim is based upon the occupancy of the island by Commander N:ichols of her Majesty’s ship Cormorant, in 1889. The Honolulu correspondent of the Evening Star has been making an investi- gation of the several claims made to Pal- myra Is'and and gives a documen*, which rertainly. establishes. a right in favor of Hawali prior to that of Great Britain. It appears by the official records of the Department of the Interior of Hawaii that | as early as 1862 King Kamehameha 1V made public ciaim to Palmyra, and pro- | claimed the island as a part of the Ha- | waiian Kingdom. On June 18, 1862, the folicwing preclamation was issued: WHEREAS, On the 15th day of April, 1862, Palmyra Is and, in latitude 5 deg. 50 min. norih and longitnde 161 deg. 53 min. west, was taken possession of with the nsual formal- ities by Captain Zenas Bent, he being duly au- thorized 1o doso in the name of Kamehameha IV, King oi the Hawaiian Jslands, Therefore, this is to gi otice that the safd | 1sland, so teken possession of, is henceforth to b2 considercd and respected s part ot the do- main of the King of the Hawailan Isiands. L. KAMEHAMEHA, Minister of the Interior. When the proclamation was published the island was in possession of the citizens of Hawaii, one of wh still resides at Honotulu. The va'ue of Paimyra was hen ia the guano covering its surface, which was removed by the owners, who | thereupon left it, aiter planting a « rove of cocoanat tre:s, which are still flourishing. | Palmyrais rather a circle of 1slets upon | a reef than a singie 1sland after a common fashion of the coral atolls. It may also be properly considered one of what is really a group, although they bear no name as a group. At a point exactly south of the Hawaiian group and 18 degrees dis- 1ant, or about 1200 miles north of the equa- | tor, are five equidistant coral atolls, of which Palmyra 1s one, forming a chain almost alike in lengiu and direction 1o the Hawaiian Islands. They are known as Christmas, Fan- nings, Washington and Palmyra, witnh an exiensive reef beyond them. The former three are inhabited, the inbabitants con- sisting of Polynesian laborers and their directors engaged in gathering copra, or cocoanut meat. These three islands are indisputably served in the Hawaiian archives, Hawaii bas a prior right 1o Palmyra, and to this the United States would succeed in the event of annexation. Palmyra has a con- gent value as Iyihg midway between olulu and the United States naval n of Pago Pago, in Samoa. UBL/CAAS OF COLORADO. Judge and Indorse Bimetallism.
