THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1897. BANDIT BAID O A SANTA P EXPRESS Overland Train Robbed and Wrecked in New Mexico. CAPTURED BY FOUR OUTLAWS. Detach the Express Car, Run Ahead and Blow Open the Safe. ENGINE SENT CRASHING INTO COACHES. Fire Follows the Collision and Four of the Cars Are Consumed. tpecial Dispatch to THE CALL BUQUERQUE, Nov. 6.—Overland Santa Fe Pacitic train No. 2, in charge of Conductor Aldrich, due at this city at 10:25 o'clock to-night, was held up by train-robbers near Grants Station, N, Mex., about ninety-five miles west of Albu- querque. The robbers, four in number, boarded the train at Grants, and at the stockyards, haifa mile from the station, ordered the condretor to stop the train. They then cut the train and taking the engine and the express and mail cars ran about a mile and a half east of Grants, where they blew open the safe, Itisim- possible to learn at this hour what the loss ise The robbers then reversed the engine and sent it with the two cars crashing into the rear.portion of the train, causing a disastrous wreck. stroyed by fire. Sheriff Hubbard and his deputy of this county left on a train for the scene of the robvery immediately upon receipt of tele- graphic notice from Division Superinten- dent Hubbard at Gallup. The train reached Grants about thirty minutes late. It consisted of mail, bag- gage-car, the regular baggage-car, an express-car, a day coach, a chair-car and two sleepers. On going to the water tank at a siding two miles east of Grants, known as Saints, the train was taken possession of by the desperadoes, the party being supposed to consist of four men, as no more than that were seen. One of the outlaws the e and another cut the train in two just ahead of the day coacn. The engine and the attached cars were taken a half mile further east. At the point where the express car was cut off the mes- senger was ordered out of the car and none but the robbers went on ahead. As soon as the train was cut, Conductor Aldrich walked to Grants Station and sent a message to Sherift hubbell of this county, saving: ‘‘Irain No. 2 held up at Grants, Rob- ters have taken possession of the train and run out east about a mile and a half. “They were blowing up the safe in the express car just after I started to walk back to thestation. They had no horses, but it is likely they had horses near where they stopped the train.”” About t time a message was received from Division Superintendent Hibbard ot the Santa Fe Pacific at Gallup saying: “Our No. 2 heid up at Grants. Can’t say the result of the robbery, but express has been blown up and operator at Grants thinks it is being burned, as he sees fire in the direction of the train. Please send posse to pursue robbers.’” In response to these messages train No. 1 from the east was taken by Sheriff Hub- bell and Deputy Sheriff Fred Fornoff, whoare now on their way to the scene. Later messages suppo:e that after the robbers had blown up the safein the ex- press-car and looted it the engine and cars were started back toward the cars left standing on the track. It is presumed that the outlaws reversea the engine and sent it back to make a comple:e wreck and block the track. If such were their intentions they were entirely successful, for the express-car, the day cosch aund chaircar were tele- scoped, afterward taking fire and being totally destroyed. The baggage in the baggage-car was all taken out before the fire reached it. Ti.ere has as yet bsen no word received that would indicate any loss of life or bodily injury, but the question will be in doubt until some one arrives from the scene, It will be several hours before the track at the point where the fire occurred will be vpassable, but it is thought that the engine, mailcar and two baggage-cars, which were ahead of the express-car and were not reported as injured, will be apt tocome on to Albuquerque without wait- for the wreck to be cleared. No description of the robbers nor clew to their identity has yet been received here. The Banta Fe Pacific has recently been sending out hundreds of laborers, among them being very many rough characters. A large number of them were located north of €irants, and one theory advanced is that some of them did the work. Itis not known how much they secured, ex- cept that they took whatever the Wells- Fargo saf¢contained. No mention is made of any mclestation of the passengers. A late report reaches Lere of a rumor that when Engineer Henry McCart was ordered from his engine, Fireman Henry Four cars were de- took possession of Abel was taken on ahead by the robbers and was killed by the explosion when they blew up the safe. No train will reach here before 3 o’clock. Purcha<es Croker’'s Interest. NASHVILLE, Nov. 6—It was an- nounced to-day that General W. H. Jack- son of Belle Meade had purchased the in- terest of Richard Croker in the Belle Meade breeding farm for thoroughbred borses. BACK WITH A STORY OF PRIVATION Miners Who Sailed on the Grace Reach San Quintin. ASK THAT HALL ARRESTED. BE Captain of the Craft Accused of Having Attempted to Poison Them. WERE LEFT TOSTARVEONA BARREN COAST. Arrivad at a Mexican Settlement When Almost Dead From Starvation. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 6.—Three of the men wi.o claim that Captain A. W. Hall of the unlucky schooner Grace tried to poison them, arrived to-day at San Quintig, aftera journey that reduced them to skin and bones. They were put ashore from the schooner at Santa Rosalia, almost 200 miles south of San Quintin. One of them, ac- cording to the sailor Barney Wilson, was so weak from the efficis of the poisoned food, that he vomited blood and had to be carriea ashore. Alithree are miners who went down from San Francisco to work on claims allegea by Captain Hall to bave been discoversd by him on a for- mer trip. Through a conversation with the men over the wire it was learned that their experience after being put ashore was something to make their hair turn gray. All were weak and sick. They were on a barren coast without water, ex- cept as they found it on their march. The dangerous condition of the youngest member of the party forced them to keep on the march toward civilization, as they feared he might die at any time. It was decided to strike out for Rosario, the nearest Mexican. settlement, over 100 miles to the north. The men were afoot, not having a burro or any other animal to | pack their effects. They abandonea everything except small packages of focd, and struck ont. One of the party, whose name is sup- posed to be Johnson, bad been in the country before, and knew the water holes in a general way. But for his knowledgze the party would have perished of thirst. They were abandoned on October 12, and from that time to November 1 they were in constant danger of death. The men tramped over the trackless sand, tak- ing to the seacoast some imes, but oftener goine over the hills of the interior, where | they occasionally found an old tra:l to guide them. Their boots were cut by rocks and cacti until their feet bled. One of the party said they had to lie at | one place a week, nursing the sickest man, | and at times being ready to dig his shal- low grave. But he rallied and theyv made their way to Rosario, arriving there on November 1. They were like ghosts, they said, straying in from the wilderness, and the Mexican ranchers were astonished at their appearance. But they treated the castaways kindly, and supplied them with horses to ride to San Quintin, seventy miles away. The ride took five days because of the ex- haustea condition of the men. They were determined to reach the tele- graph at the earliést possible moment. They immediately sent a dispatch to the authorities here, asking them to arrest Captain A. W. Hall for the attempted murder of the party by poisoning. The men are expecied to arrive on the steamer Pacheco, which will return from San Quinun on Wednesday morning. Tmf will then make complaint against Hall. Captain Hall, who was bimself for four days without food on the ili-fated cruise, islying at Non-Sectarian Hospita suffer- g irom heart disease. Chief Russell said to-night that he had not placed the mysterious stranger under arrest, but that he was under police surveillance and that developments would follow as soon as Hall was convale-cent. PILGRINAGE TOWARD AN ARGTIG MEGOA Dawson the Destination of Seven Crusaders From New York. Will Tramp Across the Continent and Embark Early In the Spring. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK, Nov. 6 —A band of seven Christian crusaders will start on Monday next to work their way across the conti- nent, in true apostolic fashion, reaching the Pacific Coast early in the spring, where thev will take a steamer for the Klondike gold fields. It is their purpose to establish there a perinanent Christian mission among the miners at either Daw- son City or Dyea. “Those who compose the band are all rugged in health. They will go afoot, with packhorses to bear some of tkeir burdens. from this point to Denver, at least. They have not decided how to pro- ceed from that stage over the Rocky Mountains to the coast. All along the route from New York to San Francisco these missionaries will hold gospel ser- vices—in churches, in country school- houses or in hizhways, as circumstances may dictate—and will depend for their sustenance and the steamer expense of their trip entirely on subscripiions of Christian people they meet along the way. They have been furnished with outfits, here, inciuding axes, spades, biankets and other necessaries for such a trip. SEATTLE, Nov. 6 —The schooner M. M. Morrili, Captain N. V. Johnson, ar- rived here this afternoon from Cooks Inlet Alaska, with nine passengers and about $20,000 in gold. Half of this amount i the property of the United States Mercantile Company. The other half is distributed between A. Williamson of California, William Elhs and L. F. Arthur, of Oregon, who have claims on California Creek, a tributary of Twenty-mile Creek, CONTINOES 10 ADMIT JAPANESE Hawaii’s Peculiar Policy While Pleading for Annexation. CONSIGNMENTS YET COMING. Reach Honolulu in One Week. About Six Hundred Laborers OVER THREE THOUSAND THIS YEAR. While Ask!ng to Be Saved From the Invaders Do'e’s Regima Throws Gates Wide Open for Them. Correspondence of THE CALL HONOLULU, Hawai, Oct. 30.—The ar- rival of two consignments of Japanese la- borers this week has set even the strong- est annexation supporters of the Govern- ment wondering what their policy can be. Oa the one hand they appeal to the United States to save them from Japanese colonization and control, and on the other they voluntarily open the port of Hono- lulu to over 600 in one week,and to no less than 3150 since the beginning of the year, with a forccast of nearly 3000 more to ar- rive within the nextfew months, for the | greater part of this number are already contracted for. The figures are rendered more import- ant by the fact that about 25 per cent are | women, and that the proportion of con- tract laborers to free is about two-thirds. Adding to these Japanese about 3000 Chi- nese who have arrived, or returned to the country in the past ten months, and de- ducting from the latter number those who have left for good, say 500,and laboring men have a fair sample of how Asiatic 1m- migration is decreasing on the Hawaiian Islands. The Government claimsto have stopped Chinese immigration, and undoubtedly that immigration is now practically barred, for formal notices have been issued throughout the Cuinese, Japanese and British ports to this effect, and hereby hangs a little story not yet told. It nas transpired that the Foreign Office has received information of two rather cute moves on the part of the Japanese. In the first place a number of Manchurians were shippcd by Japanese employment companies, throurh Japan- ese ports in Japanese vessels, for Hono- loln. As mers serfs they are valuable, but as desirable Chinese laborers they are not, masmuch as they do not speak the Chinese language as spoken by the other Chinese in Hawalii, and consequently it is very difficult to instruct and control them, and, moreover,their sympathies are not Chinese in character. Again a curious move was made by the Japanese Government in connection with the Chinese Government in regard to Chinese immigration. The Japanese in- formed the Chinese Government of the stoppage of Cninese immigration by the Hawaiian Government and called atten- tion to the alleged maltreatment of Chinese laborers in Hawaii, and sug- gested prompt attention to these matters. The possible desire of the Japanese Gov- ernment was _to elicit the sympatiies of the Chinese Government in their dispute with Hawaii. But what will the white workingmen’s assoclations of the United States think of a Governmeni who clamors for annexa- tion for fear of an uprising of Japanese, and then imports them by the thou- sand in order to zive them greater opportunities of being successtul. If the Government is afraia of 25000 Japanese, wherein lies the wis- dom of adding 5000 to them in a single year, and - that year ‘'annexation’’ year? It is not as if these laborers arrived on contracts made before the annexation scare pleas were made, for the contracts are being approved by the Hawaiian Board of Immigration daily and weekly in quarterly batches. NOW CONFESSES 10 TWENTY NURDERS Arrest of Joseph Vacher, the French Monster in Crime. His Victims Were Shepherds and Shepherdesses. and They Were All Frigh:fully Mutllated. Speclal Dispatch to THE CALL NEW YORK. Nov. 6.—The Paris corre- spondent of the World ssnds the follow- ing: The monster in crime, Joseph Vach- er, has just been arrested. The list of his shocking crimes, which rival those of “Jack the Ripper,’” grows daily. He admits having murdered twenty persons. Vacher was a strolling musician and ac- cordion-player. His victims almost in- variably were shepherds or shepherdesses. Not content with simply killing them, he mutilated their quivering bodies in a most frightful mauner, literally disem- boweling them. He would lie in ambush for bis victims, spring upon them, cut their throats with his sharp knifse and then muiilate their bodies. His arrest came about in this way: He attacked the wife of a shepherd who was caring for her husband’s flock. She re- sisted stoutly and cried for help. Her husband heard her and, running to her assistance, was soon engaced in a fierce fight with Vacher. The other shepherds ran up and Vacher finally was overpow- ered and taken before the police. The volice immediately decided that the pris- oner was the wandering assassin who had committed so many horrible murders, so the kinsmen of other viciims were sent for to identify him. In almost every case they recognized Vacher as the tramp mu- sician who had been seen in the vicinity shortly before each murder. Their rage on seeing Vacher knew no bounds, and had it not been for the police they would have taken sum 'y vengeance. - e———— ADVANCES made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal. J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission FOUR FATORITES BOWLED OVER The Talent Experienced Difficult Guessing at Ingleside. Little Marquise Galloped Away With the Golden West Stake, Lucky Dog Left at the Post — Mor- rellito Finished in Front of Los Prietos. There was nothing about the racing at Ingleside track yesterday that will linger long in the memory of those pres- ent as spectators. It was arranged in six chapters and was replete with upheavals and dirasters. In four out of six scrim- mages the favorites wers worsted. Satsuma was the first favorite to step up to the plate and struck out on threestraight balls. Mainstay came up fresh and smil- ing next, but was put out cold with one of Eirod’s left-handers. Holmes then tried to kick a goal with Los Prietos, but failed, and Piggott scored a touchdown with Morellito. Captain Piersol was fav- vorite for the jump and T. Murphy, his pilot, put the blue ball down with a clever combination shot. The spell of ill-luck following in the wake of the favorites now seemed broken, for Gus Wilson took the fifth bout with Marquise, getting a full Nelson in 2 minutes 4134 seconds. It could not last, though, for in the final game Piggott put the ‘“reverse English’’ on Hermanita and she had not counted when Polish went out. The attendance in the betting ring was large, with a rather light showing of ladies in the stand. The music furnished is excellent and they enjoyed that even 1f they did fai! to pickthe winning horses The track was slow as a plowed field without any signs of spla-hing mud. Those with a line on the mud-larks were generally successful. The bookmakers, however, were the biggest winners, The $1000 Golden West steke was the principal ieature of the card. Itattracted but a fieid of six to the post. Grady in fine fettle at vresert likes a pasteboard irack and as he could not have it and the going suited the little bay mare Marquive, there was installed an even money choice. Del Paso 1I and Grady with speed to loan, showed to good advantage for a mile and a quarter and then Wilson gave the “THE CALL’S” Saturday, November 6, 1897, Weather sh: first position before half the distance bad been covered and ur-ing him from that time on led the favorite over the line by over a length, covering the distancein 1:45%. Estro, carrying the colorsof J. Nag.ee Burke, was a fair third. ‘Wednesday’s race, when he finished sec- ond, put Captain Piersal right up on edge, and he galloped away with the mile and a quarter hurdle affair in easy fashion. An even-money favorite throughout the bgt- ting, he toyed along for a mile with Vik- ing, which horse was backed from fours down to 510 2, and then drawing away in thestreish, defeated the California hurdler with ease. J O C, under hard punishment, took the show et cdisof 12to 1 It was ‘The Bachelor’s first start, and he did not perform any miracles. Hermaniia is usually a strong finish, but appeared lamentably weak the last quarter of the seven-furiong run, for which she was a topheavy favorite yesterday. It was the final number of ths: programme, and her odds were cut from even to 4105. Sue raced out in front with McLight, and tefore the stretch was reached seemed to have the race in hand. Making the bend for home, the mare suddenly srew weary, and was passed by both Polish and Mc- Light. The first named gelding won, eas- ing up in 1:303{, with Kamsin taking the place from McLight in a rattling drive. ‘The winner went to the post at odds of 7 to 2. Lt it Track Notes. Dan Honig, the well known St. Louis teri- wan, arrived from the East yesterday. His string of horses have been here for some time. When last seen Dan was hunting up Willie Martin for a “Periecto’’ the jockey owed him. Kamsin at last showed some of his old time speed in the last race run. Jockey Neal also appeared to have overcome the reverie he has relapsed into since his advent here. There was considerable grumbling at the showing made by Hermanita. Piggott, though, tried to get all out of the mare ne could, and no blame could attach to his riding. 1f Mainstay does not show more consistency in his running, Judge Murghy intimated that the big chestnut would be barred in future in the betting. Mat Storn has claimed all along that Morel- 1itv would be a hard one to beat, and it looks as though his predictions would prove true. He isagrand looking colt, and in the hands of such a capable trainer should make his mark on the turf. Doctors Are Mystified. John J. Smith, a plumber living at 410 Fourth street, was found lying unconscious on Market street, between First and Second, yesterday afternoon. He was taken to the Harbor Receiving Hospital and treated by Drs. Deas and Zabala. On his person they found a box of 1odoform and his breath and clothing smelled of the drug. From this it was inferred that he had attempted (0 commit suicide by taking iodoform. A small bottie which had contained carbolic acid was also in his possession. When he regained con- sciousness he told them that some one had given him morphine. He showed no symptoms of any of these poisonings and the doctors are ata loss to know what to make of the case. Their patient is in no danger. —_—————— Groom on Deck Again. Judge Slack was presented with a written agreement signed by all of J. J. Groom’s creditors yesterday, assenting to a dismissal of the voluntary petitjon iu insolvency filed by the Market-street hatter some two weeks ago. The creditors were so satisfied with Mr. Groom’s course that they paid him the compli- ment of a dismissal without the usual course. el = THEY are goiug fast those fine imported fancy worsteds.

Starter Caldwell’s start in the openng six-furlong selling event was a most ill- timed one, Lucky Dog_and Floreanna be- ing left at the post. Dr. Rowell's chest- nut horse Satsuma was an 11 to 5 choice in the betting, but his legs must ‘have given him trouble, for he showed none of of his old-time speed.

The six-furlong sprint next decided looked a good] thing on papar for Main- stay, which was always a hot even-money favorite in the ring. To Eirod’s bunnllns exhibition in the saddle can be ascribe the big chestnut sprinter’sdefeat. Hughey Jones’ jockey put up about as bad a ride as has been seen in several moons. The favorite raced out in front with Figleaf and Count of Fianders to the stretch, where Elrod, for some reason, let him fall back.
