BANDITS COLLECT TOLL ON A TRAIN A Daring Hold-Up Near Council Bluffs. BULLET WOUNDS CONDUCTOR HE IS OVERPOWERED AND HIS POCKETS SEARCHED. After Taking Small Sums From the Passengers the Outlaws Jump From the Coaches and Escape. CHICAGC. ept. 18.—A dispatch to the Times-Herald from Council Bluffs, Iowa, says: Three men held up a Lake ‘Wanawa Railway train, returning from | the lake to Council Bluffs, this evening. The robbers boarded the train at the lake. When about half-way in they drew revolvers on Conductor Morris | and ordered him to hold up his hands. He grappled with one of the men and | another fired. The ball grazed the con- | ductor’s neck, inflicting a slight wound. His face was badly burned by powder. He was overpowered and his pockets searched, the robbers getting less than $100. ‘While two of the robbers held the conductor on the rear seat the other went through the car, which was but partly filled and robbed the passengers of small sums. The robbers jumped off and started across the boiloms in the direction of Omaha. SPANISH TROOPS SOON TO LEAVE PORTO RICO| SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Sept.‘ 18.—The preparations for the embarka- tion of the Spanish troops are reported to be complete, although the American Com- missioners have not been officially ad- vised to that effect. Two ships of the Compania Transat- lantica are expected to arrive here on the 2th inst. Five vessels will be required to transport all the luggage and field ar- | tillery and equipment. The Porto Rican troops are to be landed near Cadiz. The United States Commissfoners have agreed that such troops as desire to re- main here may do so, and practically all the volunteers and some of the regulars | whose familles and interests are here will remain. If the necessary ships were here the island would be evacuated and for- mally in our possession within three days. The American Commissioners are highly ratified with the spirit shown by the aniards. The unexpected has happened. Where it was expected that opposition and delay would be encountered, none has been found. In good faith the Spanish Commissioners have met the Americans | and arranged with them terms of evacu- | ation. Our commissioners expect to see the American flag hoisted and the Span- | ish flug hauled down forever within three weeks. FRENCHMEN EJECTED FROM A HAVANA THEATER HAVANA, Sept. 18.—At the Tacon The- ater last night there was produced a play based upon the Dreyfus trial in which Dreyfus was portrayed through- out as an innocent victim of conspiracy in the French army. From the start the sympathy of the audience for Dreyfus | was manifested. Four Frenchmen, one of whom Is supposed to have been an officer of the French gunboat Fulton, now lying in the harbor, occupled a box in_the first tler. All of them carried boatswain's whistles and at every insinu- ation against the honesty of the trial they began to blow their whistles and | hiss the players. A scene of indescribable tumult followed, the entire audience.ris- ing in defense of Dreyfus. The French- | men were forcibly ejected and the per- formance was continued without further interruption. One of the Frenchmen, who was thought to be an officer of the Fulton, fused to give his name at the station house, to which the party was taken after being ejacted from the theater, and was locked up over night. General Blanco has prohibited the fu- ture production of the play in Havana. YELLOW FEVEK NOTES FROM SOUTHERN TOWNS LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 18.—Assoclat- ed Press advices from the South to-night indicate no material change in the yellow fever situation sinee last nirht's report. | Dr. Gant arrived at Oxford, Miss., to-day, | and affer looking into the two cases of fever in the Jumper family said they were undoubtedly yellow fever. He also located several suspicious cases in the family of A. T. Wood. Oxford physicians, however, claim thit the cases are of a malignant type of malarial fever. Dr. Prino of Raymond, Miss., reported that he has a patient who 15 suspiciously ill. The investigation of the suspicious cases in Jackson continues, and all _sus- pects so far have been discharged. Each northbound train from the city carries a coachload of refugees. Dr. Murray de- clares that there is no fever at Pontotoc. The Infection in Lafayette County has about run its course and most of the pa- tients are convalescent. One new case is reported from Taylors and three from Orwood to-day.

ALL TO OPEN ON TUESDAY FACTIONS MAY QUARREL OVER THE DIVISION. Moaovement on Foot to Place Senator ‘White in the Senatorial Race, Despite His Intention to Retire. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18.—The Dem- | ocratic, Populist and Silver Republican County Conventions will be convened at Santa Monica simultaneously on Tuesday for t&. naming of a fusion county ticket. The ple has not yet been divided among the three political divisions, and it is certain that some difficulty will be experienced in reach- ing a satisfactory apportionment. The fight now is being waged as to which party shall have the nomination ‘for District Attorney. The Silver Re- publicans wish it for their State chair- man, J. Noonan Phillips. The Demo- crats do not want Phillips, and in or- der to defeat him are willing that the Populists shall name the nominee for that office. There are two factions in the Democratic party—the “silk stock- ing” element and the “push.” It looks as though the “push” would run the convention. A movement is on foot to have reso- lutions adopted which will place Ste- phen M. White in the Senatorial con- test whether he wants to be or not. The resolution will review Senator White's services to his constituents and will advise the people of Southern Califor- nia to elect members of the Legislature favorable to White. Then the state- ment will be made that if White were | given a re-election to the Senate he would accept and go back to Washing- ton for another term. The resolutions will also cite the fact that as it is ad- mitted that Southern' California is en- titled to the Senatorship, White is, above all others, the abiest represen- tative that could be sent to the upper house of Congress from this section of the State. plik s S aas NO FUSION IN LAKE. Populists Will Support the Republi- can Ticket. LAKEPORT, Sept. 18.—Politics in Lake County is now at red heat. The Re- publicans named a ticket two weeks ago. The Democrats and Populists both met here with the intention of fusing, but the scheme was a failure. The Democrats | then nominated a full county ticket, the | Populists adjourning until to-day. They | were much put out because the Demo- | crats would not fuse with them. The| Populists did not put up a full ticket. They nominated only three men on the | county ticket and the district officers. | Most of the Populists will support the Republican ticket. SIMS SAYS DREYFUS ESCAPED LONG AGO NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The World prints the following under a London | date: George R. Sims, playwright and | journalist, has long maintained that | Dreyfus was rescued from Devil's Is- land two years ago through the instru- mentality of a French syndicate or- ganized to secure the liberation of pris- oners in penal settlements who can pay heavily for their freedom. Sims now says: “The real difficulty the French Gov- ernment is in with regard to Dreyfus is to find him. When he was rescued | from Devil's Island two years ago and | a substitute was left in his place, the| Government officials, terriefled at the | outerly which would be raised in| France, accepted the substitute. “Dreyfus himself went to South America, where he is living under an assumed name. His wife dares not quit France to join him; that would mean a plot for his arrest or assassi- nation. Dreyfus does not yet feel suf- ficlent confidence in the authorities and the French people to put his head in the lion’s den. If Dreyfus ever re- turns to take a new trial you may be sure his acquittal will have been abso- lutely assured beforehand.” ESTERHAZY SAYS HE WILL CONFESS ALL NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—A London cablegram to the World says: Major Esterhazy is about to make a full con- fession of his connection with the plot to disgrace Dreyfus. As he admits that he cannot return to France, it is evident that the part he took involves criminal consequences.- In an author- ized statement he says: “There is no longer any justice for me in my own country, and the time has arrived to make a full disclosure of the part I played in the Dreyfus af- fair.. I interd to make this disclosure in: the interest of truth, regardiess of its result to Dreyfus personally, “I can no longer allow myself to be made a scapegoat. The responsibility must be fairly distributed. $ “You want to know whether my dis- closures will: clear Dreyfus. I answer that out of a tLhousand documents mak- ing up the Dreyfus dossier, I know that six hundred are forged. I am prepared to show by whom and under what cir- cumstances these forgeries were com- mitted. ‘“Whether Dreyfus be innocent, as his champions suppose, remains to be seen. That can be safely ieft to the public to judge when they are in possession of all the facts.” WAS DREYFUS THE VICTIM OF THE ARMY? LONDON, Sept. 19.—David Christie Murray publishes in the Morning to- day a long story regarding the Dreyfus affair. The author vouches for the truth of the story, but declares that which he obtained his information. The article states in effect that Drey- fus was engaged as a spy in the em- ploy of a secret department of the French army against those suspected of trafficing with Germany and other owers. His zeal, so the story goes, ed ' him to become the' victim of re- venge on the part of Colonel Henry, Comte Esterhazy and Colonel Paty du Clam, who themselves were concerned in treasonable practice: Lok el Dr. Betancourt Dead. he cannot disclose the source from | INAVAL RESERVES TO COME organizations.

MILL POND MYSTERY GROWS DISMEMBERED BODY NOT YET IDENTIEIED. Two Young Ladies Whom It Ap- peared to Resemble Are Still in the Land of the Living. Special Dispatch to The Call. MIDDLEBORO, Mass., Sept. 18.—Af- ter telegraphing and telephoning, a member of the Bridgeport police gained possession of the woman’s dismem- bered body found in Yellow Millpond, and brought here by Frank W. Perkins, who had mistaken it for that of his daughter Grace. The town was scarce- | ly awake this morning when Detective George Arnold of the Bridgewater po- lice arrived. The first ‘thing he dld‘ was to call on Undertaker Willlams, who brought the remains of the un- known woman from Taunton last night, and requested that they be de- | livered to him. Mr. Willlams informed the detective that he intended to hold them until he received definite orders from the Coroner at Bridgeport to give them up, supplemented by a sworn statement from Mr. Perkins that the fragments of the body in the box were not those of his daughter. At noon a telegram was received from the Coroner, addressed to Undertaker Willlams and containing an order to give up the body to Arnold. Mr. Perkins was induced to sign the statement demanded by the under- taker. With the two documents Arn- old again presented himself at the un- dertaker’s and obtained the body, which was in an advanced state of decompo- sition. Miss Perkins appears very much un- concerned regarding the whole affair and looks on it as more of a joke than anything else. She kept indoors to- day, and although the house was “well surrounded by curious people, few caught even a glimpse of her. The Bournes are even closer mouthed than the Perkins family, although denying emphatically that the two are married. The family have intimated that at the proper time a statement will be made as to Charles Bourne and Miss Perkins. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 18.—Mrs. John R. Thomas of Warrior Union, this county, received a dispatch from the Chief of Police at Stamford, Conn., that her daughter Grace was alive and well in that city. This was a great relief to Mrs. Thomas, who had been led to believe from the description of the press that the woman found murdered in a pond in Bridgeport was her daughter. SUPREME COUNCIL OF SCOTTISH RITE MASONS Delegates to the Biennial Session of the Northern Jurisdiction Gath- ering at Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, Sept. 18.—There were many arrivals to-day for the biennial ses- sion of the Supreme Council of the Thir- ty-third Degree Scottish Rite Masons of the northern jurisdiction of the United States.

In the course of the rescript, his Majesty says: “The murdering hand, the instrument of frenzied fanaticism, aiming at the destruction of existing soclal order, which was ratsed against the noblest of women in blind and purposeless hate, struck a heart which knew nct hate and beat only for good.

SUBJECT OF A CONFERENCE SEVENTH ARMY CCRPS WILL BE UNBROKEN. Probable Assignment of Troops to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines Until Con- gress Meets. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: It is not now expected that any more regu- lar troops will be assigned to stations west of the Mississippi. Regulars now east of the Mississipp! will be ordered to Alabama, Georgia and South Caro- lina, where they will be camped with the volunteers. This was the plan outlined to me this afternoon by Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn, It is the result of a con- ference held yesterday between Presi- dent McKinley, Secretary Meiklejohn and General M.les. Secretary Melklejohn said the pur- pose now was for all the regiments in the East to go to Porto Rico and Cuba. It is not proposed to send more than a few, if any, regular. to Porto Rico, but the volunteer army to go to Cuba will be well seasoned with them. There will, according to the present plan, be certainly not less than 10,000 regulars sent to Cuba. The whole Cuban army of occupation, however, will consist of from 50,000 to 60,000 men. The regulars will remain there at least from sixty to ninety days. The programme has pro- gressed no further. Secretary Meiklejohn said that this ‘was absolutely the only subject dis- cussed at the conference. The volun- teer regiments to be designated have not yet been touched upon, yet it is well understood that the Seventh Army Corps will go practically without being broken. The men are believed to be in good physical trim and well disciplined, and the administration is especially gratified at the fine condition to which General Lee has brought them. General Miles says taat the 12,000 men now in Porto Rico will be suffi- clent, and 20,000 men are the most that is reckoned upon for Manila. The three additional regiments ordered in readi- ness several days ago for Honolulu will not be soon added to. Troops will be kept in Cuba until a stable form of government is lished. The island will be under mili- tary government until Congress assem- bles and adjusts whatever changes in conditions there may be thought wise. The basis on which the armies of oc- cupation will remain in Porto Rico and Manila is different from that of Cuba and will be treated, therefore, from a different view point. 0DD FELLOWS TAKING POSSESSION- OF BOSTON Spend a Day m%x@tm ‘Before, the Opening of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. BOSTON, Sept. 18.—With the coming of the morrow, the Odd Fellows of the Unit- ed States will own this city. They have come as the representatives to the Sov- ereign Grand Lodge and incidentally to enjoy a week of pleasure under the direc- tion of the Grand Lodge of Massa- chusetts. Practically all the Grand Lodge representatives are preparing for the opening sessions. To-day the visitors spent the time chiefly in sight-seeing, al- though the Sovereign Lodge attended divine service at the Church of the Dis- ciples, where Rey. Dr. Everett Hale preached, and delegations attended sev- eral other churches, where the services had a bearing on the events of the com. ing week. %o-memw the first session of the high bodies of the order will be held with pub- lic exercises. Then the Sovereign Grand Lodge will meet and transact routine business leading ug to_ the election of officers, which will be followed by a ban- uet. 'he Rebekahs will also figure in the early ceremonies. While a programme has been arranged for each day, that of ‘Wednesday is the chief figure. The pa- rade will be held then and 15,000 are ex- pected to be in line. [t S — FREE LUMBER FOR ALL. Large Quantities Thrown Up on the Beach Near Monterey. SALINAS, Sept. 18.—Visitors to Moss Landing report a large quantity of lumber of all sizes thrown up on the coast be- tween that place and Monterey during the past ten days. The wood, which ap- parently was cut recently from trees, ranges In size from that of a post stake to large pleces aggregating twenty-eight and thirty feet. All the pieces are square. Already over fifty truckloads have passed through Castroville, having been saved by the residents. It is estimated that over 100,000 feet was secured to yesterday by the wreckers. The quantity still on the beach is vast and cannot be estimated. Where the drift has come from is un- known, as no wrecks are known to have occurred near that vicinity. It seems to have come from a northerly direction. The wood has not been in the water long. It is thought it might have come from one of the rafts being towed down from Puget Bound, and which broke to pieces at sea. Se sy LOUISVILLE'S HARNESS RACES.

TO A NORRISTOWN HOSPITAL NEARLY TWC HUNDRED STILL REMAIN. All Will Be Sent to Philadelphia and Harrisburg for Treatment as Rapidly as They Can Be Transported. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. \ o CAMP MEADE, MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Sept. 18.—rifteen typhoid fever cases were shipped from the Second Division Hospital this evening to the cal car. The patients were from the Two Hundred and First and Two Hun- dred and Second New York, Fourth Missouri, First Rhode Island and Sec- ond West Virginia regiments. Chief Surgeon Girard believes the sick will do better in hospitals than in tents, and has arranged to ship more away to- hospitals. There are 175 fever patients in the hospitals' and they will be taken as rapidly as they can be moved. Private Biston D. Danto, Company K, Third New York, died in the Red Cross Hospital to-day of typhoid fever and his body was shipped to Wells- ville. Corporal Samuel Crager, Com- pany H, Second Tennessee, died of con- gestive chills at the regimental dispen- sary, after a brief iliness. Detailed reports have been received by Colonel Girard from the various regimental surgeons on the health of their regiments. They report but very few malarial cases, and in the regi- ments where this malady. has been greatest it is on the decrease. Most of the cases of typhoid fever and malaria have been brought here from the camps in the South and Camp Black, N. Y. Colonel Abbott of the First Rhode Isl- and is seriously ill with typhoid fever at the home of a friend in Middletown. The Fifteenth Michigan has moved on the grounds vacated by the Twelfth afternoon for its home State for muster out. The Michigan regiment takes the place of the Twelfth in General Cor- bin’s brigade of the First Division. Chief Quartermaster Howard says the Seventh Ohio, which has received or- ders to muster out, will hardly get away before Thursday. This will com-~ plete, for a while at least, the move- ment of troops from camp. a strong probability that the Four- teenth Pennsylvania will be the next regiment to receive orders to muster out on account of the trouble among the officers. The following medic.( officers have been detailed as brig.de surgeons: First Division—First Brigade, D. A. Rannells, Seventh Ohio; Second Brig- ade, A. M. Johnston, Fourteenth Penn- sylvania; Third Brigade, C. E. Kauss, Eighth Pennsylvania. Second Division —First Brigade, Burton S. Booth, Two Hundred and Third Brigade, H. D. Kléebler, Fourth Mis- souri; Third Brigade, Lester S. Hunt, First Rhode Island. The camp has become scattered so that the scores of army teams have been forced to work eighteen hours a day. The long hours are telling on the health of the teamsters and Colonel Howard has asked the War Depart- ment for seventy-five additional teams. He was advised to-day that fifteen four-mule and ten two-horse teams would be immediately forwarded. water system is being run into the camp of the First Delaware and other outlying regiments.
