Wife-Murderer.
Amsterdam, Sept. 26.—Tbe police of
this city on the 20th mat. arrested a man
named Hendrick de Jong, charged with
wife-murder. It appears that last June
he married Sarah Jewett, a young Eng
lish girl, who soon disappeared. In
Angust he married the pretty danghter
of a local inn-kesper, who also dis
appeared. This coming finally to the
ears of the police, led to an investiga
tion and the arrest of de Jong. It was
believed he was guilty of a series of wife
murders, similar to those oi Deeming,
the noted Australian wife-murderer, and
searches for remains began both in Hol
land and England, without result till
todaf, when the body of Sarah Jewett
was lound in the woods 49 miles from

Conflicting Keports.
By tho Associated Prsss.
Bi'knos Ayiiks, Sept. 20.—An exciting
skirmish took place today iv the outer
roads of thia harbor between some tor
pedo boats which have joined the revo
lutionists and vessels ol the Argentine
fleet. The attack was made by the tor
pedo boats, but the loyal men-of-war
were prepared for it and not only beat
off the insurgent vessels, but later took
tbe offensive and captured the rebel
boats and crews. The fighting between
the two fleets was very sharp for the
time and many were killed, including
several officers of the national guards
who have been mobilized and were
troopiog today in large numbers to the
various barracks. General Roca is
directing the operations against the
rebels.
Latiui—The commanders of the two
torpedo boats concerned in tbe attack on
the government fleet were instigated by
Colonel Eapina. After tbe attack tbe
government authorities succeeded in ar
resting him and be will probably be
shot.
The government has asked congress
to take action against Sefior Alem, who
is a senator, on tbe charge of suborning
the army.
PELLIGRINI TAKEN PRISONER.
Ex-President Peiligrini, recently cap
tured by tbe insurgents, and who came
near being shot, has again fallen into
their hands. It is said he will be tried
and executed.
The announcement that ex-President
Peiligrini was captured by the rebels
and imprisoned at Tucuman by order of
tbe revoluionary junta, and, in danger
of being tried by a court-martial and
shot, caused an almost unprecedented
sensation here. The capture of Peili
grini may be said to have brought the
revolution to almost a close, for he is
the chief supporter of President Pena,
who, it ia claimed, is little more than a
puppet in Pelligrini's bauds.
the rebels' confidence.
Tbe insurgents have so much confi
dence in tbe success of their cause tbat
they have already organized a provis
ional government and received assur
ances of support irom many sources.
The navy is eatd to be Biding with the
insurgents and it is expected that at
any moment the resignation of Pena
will be announced. Tbe friends of
Peiligrini are doing their utmost to save
his life, but there ia no doubt that he is
in great danger.
PELLIGRINI ON TOP.
New York, Sept. 26. —A Buenos Ayres
dispatch says: General Pelligrini, at
the head of the government troops, re
captured .the city of Tucuman. Pelli

HIS DAY OF RECKONING.
A BIG SENSATION IN RAILROAD
CIRCLES.
Treasurer Washburn of the Old Colony
Road Short in His Accounts.
He Used the Funds to Spec- *
ulate lv Stocks.
Boston, Sept. 26.—At the regular
meeting of the stockholders of the Old
Colony Railroad company today, a big
sensation waa sprung when it waa an
nounced that Treaaurer John M. Wash
burn had been misappropriating the
funds of the company. Washburn, it
was said, started several years ago to
take the company's money to speculate
with. He lost in speculations, and the
securities he bought were turned into
the company's treasury as caeh, at the
price Washburn paid for tbem. Aa they
shrunk in value during the past few
montha, Washburn took more money,
and finally it could no longer be con
cealed from the auditors. Last Wed
nesday Washburn left hia office, but did
not go home, and his family were much
worried. He came back next morning
in a pitiable condition, Baying he had
walked around all night. A doctor was
called in and he ordered him to go to
bed, where he baa been con
fined ever since. A full confession
waa made by Waahburn yesterday.
He resigned his positio.it as treasurer
cf the company, and made an asßeign
raent of all hia personal property to
the railroad to make up the deficiency
as far as possible. The bondsmen of
tbe treasurer will also be called upon to
assist to make good tbe deficiency,
and the Old Colony officials claim tbe
defalcation will not effect tbe dividenda
on the Btock of the railroad. Waßh
bnrn ia 75 years old and has been treas
urer of tbe Old Colony road for 30 years,
and treasurer of tbe Old Colony steam
boat company almost from the time it
was started. He waa also treaaurer of
the Union Freight line. Whether these
concerns will lose anything is impossible
yet to Bay. Washburn owns a fine res
idence on beacon street. He ia married
and haa a daughter and son. There waa
a rumor on tbe Btreet today that the
amount of his defalcation waa $125,000,
but Counsel Benton eaid there waa no
authority for any such atatement. A
call at the home of Treaaurer Wash
burn was without avail.

By the Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 26.—When the
senate met thia morning tbo repeal men
were caught napping by Stewart who
observed no quorum and questioned the
propriety of the senate proceeding.
Harris of Tennessee, an ardent silver
man, waa presiding in tbe absence of
Vice-President Stevenson, who ia at
tending a Democratic meeting in Penn
sylvania. The president pro tern,
promptly ordered the roll called, al
though the journal had not been read.
Only thirty-five senators responded, less
than a quorum. A stay of proceedings
was necessary until members strolled in
one by one to a sufficient number to
constitute a quorum.
Stewart then presented resolutions
adopted at a mass meeting held in Cleve
land, Ohio, favoring an investigation to
ascertain whether senators were inte r
ested in national banks, railroads and
other special interests favored or fost
ered by legislation. Stewart expressed
the hope that an investigation would be
had and the rumor so prevalent set at
rest that national bank stocks had any
thing to do with the demctnitization of
Bilver.
DUBOrS CREATES A SENSATION.
Dubois (Rep.') created a sensation by
offering tbe following:
Whereaß, several sovereign states are
without a full representation in thu aqu
ate to which they are entitled; be it

guaranteed each sovereign state by v-a
constitution of the United States.
The resolution waa laid on the tablj—
yeaa 27, nays 19.
The repeal bill was then taken no.
Stewart, who waa recognized, said lv
would yield to Dubois of Idaho, who
had given notice of hia intention to
speak today.
PiiRKINS MAKES A SPEECH.
Duboia yielded to Perkins, who said :
"We have been told in clear, courageous
tones that all our existing economic
troublea flow from a law that viciously

commerce, and we have been further
told that the blotting out of the law wiil
