Express Messenger's Grand
Coup to Prevent Rifling
of His Car,
Mandan, N. D.. June B.— Cavalry
and Indian scouts are to-day scouring
the country north from Fort Buford,
and south from Fort Yates for the two
desperadoes who at an early hour this
morning held up the east-bound North
ern Pacific train twenty-five miles west
of this point. A tramp who was steal
ing a ride on the blind-baggage end of
the mail car, which was next the engine,
was first to see the robbers. They
stepped on at New Salem, and as they
kicked against him asked him what he
was doing. When he told them, they
said if he was quiet he would not be
harmed. He remained quiet. Subse
quently he was mistaken for a des
perado and marched to the depot by
the wily express messenger, who
skipped out of his car when he heard
.hooting.
The Details of the Adventure,
us gathered from train men aud passen
gers and this tramp, who is now locked
in the Mandan jail, are as follows: As
the train moved away from New Salem
two men armed with heavy revolvers
and wearing masks boarded the front
end of the mail car. By the time the
train had run about half a mile they
proceeded over the tender into the cab,
and the engineer and fireman were con
fronted by two revolvers. Engineer
Kilmartin proceeded to put on brakes,
but he was informed that that was not
the thing to do, but to go ahead. He
obeyed orders, and ran ahead a short
distance, when he was ordered to stop
the train. He did so, and at the muzzle
of a revolver he obeyed further orders,
and -undid the couplings at the rear of
the baggage car. Then he was marched
back to the engine and ordered forward.
The engine, tender, mail car, express
and baggage cars went on about a mile
further,"' l aving seven cars, passengers
and Pullman coaches, behind. When a
spot was reached that
Pleased the Robbers
the train was stopped and the engineer
and fireman marched to the express car.
But in the meantime Express Messen
ger Angevine, knowing something was
the matter, and hearing a shot fired
ahead, suspected the condition of
things, and he had time enough to carry
out a plan that he had thought of be
fore. He opened the small safe, took
out a bag containing §600, and threw it
under his mattress, put out the lights
and skipped. He made a detour north
of the tracks, going round the residence
of County Commissioner Luck, and
coming to" the depot, where he sent off
a message to Mandan about the occur
rence. In the meantime the despera
does, chagrined at finding the express
messenger missing, made a break for
the baggage car. Here they found the
baggageman and two brakemen. While
one robber kept the engineer and fire
man quiet, the other , entered the bag
gage car to find the expressman.
One Shot Was Fired
lit the brakemen, but it just grazed his
head, and, after considerable parleying,
and satisfied that there was . nobody
there who knew the combinations of the
safes, and, while one robber held in a
line, with arms up, two brakemen, the
baggageman, mail clerk and fireman,
the other superintended the engineer,
while, with a coal hammer, he demol
ished the small safe. Nothing was found
there, and attempts to get into the large
safe were unsuccessful. A visit was
uext paid to the mail car. Mail Clerk
Sherlock obeyed orders with expedition
as he was ordered to rip open the regis
tered mail, all of which was carried off.
Brakeman Barney Ford and the bag
gageman managed to get away, and
skipped towards the other half of the
train. A blind shot or two from a brig
and hurried their footsteps, but did not
harm them. By the time the mail car
had been robbed Passenger Conductor
Nichols arrived on the scene, but as he
did so the robbers were disappearing
In the Darkness.
The. engine and three forward cars
ran back, coupled on to the rear cars
and proceeded to Mandan. The passen
gers suspected what the delay was
caused by, as the front part of the train
was seen to disappear and occasional
shots were heard. The Pullman con
ductor, it is said, took about two min
utes to divest himself of his brass but
toned clothes and official cap, and no
robber would have been able to pick
him out as the custodian of several hun
dred dollars in currency. By 3 o'clocK
this morning two sheriffs' posses were
on the ground, one from Mandan and
one from Dickinson. They found tracks
leading south from the spot where the
parleying was done with the train
hands and followed the trail to a de
serted camp, where pieces of bacon and
the remains of canned goods were
found in the vicinity. A farmer claimed
he had that night lost two ponies, and
it is thought probable that the robbers
took them, but the trail found leading
from the camp was made by. two ponies
that were shod, whereas this farmer's
ponies were not. Some of the train bauds

outside the robbers seemed to have a
revolver, and everybody who went

WHOLESALE SMUGGLING.
A Big Gang Rounded Up toy New
York Officers.
New Yokk, June B.— Five men are
now in Ludlow Street jail and two
more are out on bail on a charge of
smuggling. Those in jail are John
Hart, John Hughes, John Baker, petty
officers on the Inman steamer City of
New York; and John Lathin, head bar
keeper, and John Merdock, ship's
storekeeper of the Inman liner City of
Chicago. Those out on bail are Ed
ward "Baxter, dock clerk, and John
Fort, chief cooper, both employed by
the Inman line at Jersey City. Lathin,
and Merdock were arrested at an early
hour this morning on board the City of
Chicago by Inspectors Hassey and
Britton. of Agent Wilbur's staff. In
some unaccountable way Lathin
and Merdock learned that the
customs officers were on the lookout for
them, and preparations were made . to
take them off the vessel between Sandy
Hook and quarantine. This action was I
forestalled, however, by the inspectors, I
who, in company with United States
Deputy Marshal Wiler, went down to
lower quarantine at 2 o'clock this morn
ing on the mail boat William Fletcher.
As the Fletcher crossed the City of Chi
cago. Lathin was seen standing by the
gang nlank. He was recognized by In
spector liritton. who had occasion in
1885 to become acquainted with him on
a similar errand io that of to-day. Then,
as now, Lathin was arrested for smug
gling a lot of ready-made clothing, and
he was convicted in the United States
court at Trenton, and got off by
paying a heavy fine. The specific
charge against Lathin and Mer
dock is that on May 13 last they brought
into Jersey City a lot of ready-made
clothing hi bags on which they evaded
duty. The arrest would have been
made then, but the vessel sailed before
the matter could be brought home to the
pair. When the first officer of the City
of Chicago learned the nature of the
customs special officers' visit, he said
he was very willing to aid them. The
manner in which he wentabout it, how
ever, left doubts in the mind of Inspect
or Britton. He directed the officers
over the vessel several times, and
finally suggested that they go on deck
to the chief steward's quarters; but,
while pretending to go on deck. In
spector Britton doubled on the first
officer, and saw him enter a lit
tle room which had been passed
and repassed many times. To follow
was the work of but a moment and
there was found the man of whom he
was in search. Lathin at once recog
nized Britton and made no resistance^.
Merdock was found without, difficulty.
Hart,- Hughes and Baker, who were
taken from the City of New York, are
said to be wealthy Liverpool citizens,
who have made comfortable fortunes
by just such practices as that for which
they are now under arrest. Inspector
Britton expects to have ten or a dozen
more offenders. Four of the Inman
steamers are now in trouble in connec
tion with smuggling. They are the
City of Chester, City of New York, City
of Berlin and the City of Chicago.
Chiet Officer Allen, of the City of Ches
ter, who evaded arrest on the last trip
of his vessel, it is believed, will be re
turned to answer the charges against
him. Una

A Washington Man Meets a Singu
lar Death.
Washington, Junes.— William Pow
ell, a colored man, lay dead this morn
ing near the wall of a lodge house oppo
site one of the entrances to the soldiers'
home in this city. Curled up in one
arm was a small terrier, and standing
guard over the body of the dead man
was a large hound. His faithful com
panion was the unwilling cause of his
death. Tramp dogs have infested the
grounds of the soldiers' home lately,
and orders were . issued to shoot
them. John Dolan, an old veteran, who
acts .as watchman at one of the en
trances, was awadened about 1 o'clock
this morning by the noise of dogs, and,
securing an old navy revolver, fired it
in the direction of the noise, which im
mediately ceased. Dolau went" to bed
again and slept until awakened by a
passer-by, who called his attention to
the dead body outside his window. The
bullet had entered the throat, aud death
must have been Instantaneous. Powell's
wife was a domestic in the lodge where
Dolan slept, and he had come there to
see her, when the noise of one of his
dogs awakened the old watchman. A
coroner's jury to-day acquitted Dolan.
THE ROME'S DANGER.
Narrow Escape of an Anchor Line
Steamer.
London. June B.— The Anchor line
steamer City of Rome, Capt. Young,
from New York May 19, arrived at
Queenstown at 10 o'clock this i
morning. The steamer had a nar
row escape from destruction at
Fastnet. She made land in a
dense fog at 4 o'clock this morning. She
was going slowly, and was taking sound
ings, when, notwithstanding the care
exercised, she struck Fastnet rock,
about three miles seaward off Crook
Haven, bow on. Her forefoot got on
the rock, and but for the prompt
itude displayed in reversing the en
gines a great fatality would have
been recorded. Passengers who were
interviewed say that the steamer trem
bled all over when she sti tick the rock.
For a time there was intense alarm on
board, the density of the fog adding to
the ominous character of the situation.
The passengers were finally quieted by
the repeated assurances of the com
mander and other . officers of the
steamer that not the slightest danger
existed. The full extent of the damage
will not be ascertained until the vessel
is docked at Liverpool. Her stem is
broken at the peak, and she shipped a
large volume of water forward. The
steamer started for Liverpool at 11
o'clock, proceeding at half speed. It is
rumored that the fog gun on Fastnet
rock was not fired until after the City of
Rome had struck. . ,--

Democrats of the Keystone
State Looking to Patti- 1

Why Senator Castle Took a
Liking to the Clearfield
Statesman.
Special to the Globe.
HARitisßuiiG, Pa.— June B.— Quay
and Quayism have got to go in the . old
Keystone commonwealth this year ; if
not at the Republican state convention',
then at the polls, in much the same
manner as the machine was defeated in
the memorable campaign of 1882. The
campaign now going on iv Republican
circles for the nomination for governor
is the most virulent in the history of
the state, and reminds a Minnesota ob
server of the Gilman-Gibbs-McGill con
test of 1886. There are three real
candidates for the Republican nom
ination in Pennsylvania this year, all
very much in earnest, and all
ready and willing to serve Boss
Quay if he would give them half a
chance. They are: Adjt. Gen. D. H.
Hastings, of Bellefonte; Senator Dela
mater, of Crawford county, and Secre
tary of State Charles W. Stone, of the
northern portion of the state. Outside
of these are Maj. Montooth, of Pitts
burg; Congressman Osborne, of Wilkes
barre, and several other, local favorites
whose indorsement conceals a Quay
delegation sure to declare for the boss
wheu needed. But
The Silent Fisherman
from Beaver is a most conspicuous des
pot, and he will have neither Hastings,
Stone, Montooth, nor Osborne, as the
Republican standard bearer this year.
He has chosen Senator Delamater for
the honor, and Delamater he will insist
shall be nominated. While the other
fellows are still whistling hard to keep
up their courage, the Crawford county
statesman is now as good as nominated,
for he has , ; nearly _as .... many dele
gates chosen and instructed for
him now as have all the
other candidates bunched together,
and he will more than hold his own in
the counties that have not yet chosen
their delegates to the state convention.
But is it possible or likely that Senator
Delamater can be elected if he is nom
inated? I shall answer this question by
quoting an interview I had with Hon.
John E. Fox, a prominent Republican
politician of this city, yesterday: -:'. \-~.. ' .
* "Personally I am for Mr. Delamater,"
said Mr. Fox, "and our delegates will
be for him in the convention, but I very
much doubt whether his nomination
will be a wise one. There is unques
tionably a strong feeling against him. in
many parts of the state, and I am afraid
his nomination would mean defeat.
Still, Quay insists that the man nomi
nated by the Republicans of Pennsylva
nia this year will be elected, and you
wiil have to admit that he is
A Pretty Good Politician.
"I would see Delamater elected
governor, but above and beyond that I
want Republican success in this state,
and I am fearful of the results if Quay
carries his point in the coming con
vention and Senator Delamater; is made
the standard bearer of the party." The
independent is abroad in Pennsylvania
this year, and the general depression,
which exists in every line of business,
will help the honorable element in the
dominant political party of the state to
throw off the galling chains in which
the junior United States senator has
bound them hand and foot in the last
six years. From all parts of the state
comes the cry that "Quay must be
downed," aud. were it not for the bump
of self-conceit of Quay, and his belief
that money can win when all else fails,
he would certainly feel that his career
as a boss is about over. The charges
made against him by the leading papers
of the country a short time ; ago have
produced a great impression on the peo
ple of the state. The old-line Republi
cans of the state are disgusted and ap
palled at the record of a man they
helped send to the senate, and they are
up in arms. "The independents of '82
are to be largely reinforced in the cam
paign of '90," remarked a venerable
Republican of Carlisle a day or two ago;
when ■'.'.'.
; The State Contest
was being talked over. "The machine,"
he continued, "seems to think that it is
all-powerful, but the leaders will find
out their . mistake later. Here is our
county (Cumberland) to be represented
in the Harrisburg convention by Dela
mater delegates, while the Republicans
of the county are opposed to him by a
large majority. . The county committee
is a Quay body, and that fact expresses
the bias of the delegates chosen." But
is Quay entitled to the credit he has
generally been given for the election of
Harrison in 1888? The anti-Quay lead
ers around " Harrisburg declare that he
is not, and then tell the following story,
which, by the way, is said to have come
from a man who was with the great
boss in a position of trust and confi
dence through the Harrison-Cleveland
.contest: "In the campaign of 18S8, in
New York state," runs the story, "Quay
threw all his money, and a big pile it
was, too, into the lower wards of
New York city with the idea
of reducing Cleveland's majority there
to such an extent that Harrison would
carry the state. But early in the even
ing of election day those wards showed
up stronger than ever for Cleveland,
and Quay was ready to close up his
shop and go home, at that time virtually
conceding that Harrison had
Lost New York.
•'The Republican gains in Brooklyn he
had nothing to do with, and from the
very beginning he had neglected the
country districts." This is the story on
which the claim is based that Quay's
fame as a national leader is purely a re
sult of accident, and some one else's la
bors. Andrew Curtin Quay, 'the son
of the senator, will probably be a mem
ber of the next legislature of Pennsyl
vania, but in the fight which ended in
his nomination a number of interesting
facts were developed. . The senator's
own county of Beaver was the battle
[ground selected, and armed with plenty
of cash, young : Quay entered the field*
for the . legislative nomination. ". _It was
. soon evident that unless something was
done the junior member of the Quay
family would be defeated in his father's
,own stronghold, where at least one or
two of the banks of the town are held
up through the means and by the aid
of the uuds of the state secured and

placed there by the senator. Several
local favorites were at once trotted out,
the vote divided, and young Mr. Quay (
bagged the ? nomination by ; a scratch.
The withdrawal of Congressmen Bayne'
from the approaching contest for con
gress in the Allegheny district is one of
the signs of the times that demonstrates
that -i_m_m_m m____WS__ti&mW :r^
Bossism in Politics
can be carried too far. Western Penn
sylvania is in a political ■ ferment, and
it is .not unlikely that the Democrats
will gain at least two . congressmen in
that portion of , the state. They cer
tainly will gain several east of and in
the mountains. y-^&fmW^Umm%VSrv^
- On the Democratic side there are but
two candidates for the party nomina
tion for governor— William
A. Wallace, of Clearfield, and ex-Go v.
Robert E. Pattison, of Philadelphia.
At the present -time Wallace's nomina
tion is practically, conceded. Gov. Pat
tison, while he would accept the
honor, will make no hard fight,
for it, but up to two days ago his
chances of getting it were very
good. At that the time he had the solid
delegation from Philadelphia. Since
then, however, ex-Speaker John E.
Faunce, Robert S. Patterson, George
McGowan and a host of the Democratic
'workers have changed: sides and are
now for Senator Wallace. These gen
tlemen claim that the. latter. will have
more than half of the Quaker City men
when the time comes. The report that
Senator Wallace is an anti-Cleveland
man is the veriest rot. I had the pleas
ure of a chat with the distinguished
Clearfield statesman yesterday, and iii
his quiet, suave way he said: "The
claim of ex-Congressman Scott that I
am opposed to ex-President Cleveland^.;
is untrue; In the Chicago convention,
of 1881 1 was chairman of our delega
tion, and, after voting for Mr. RandaliJ
our solid vote .
. Went to Cleveland. .1
"President Cleveland treated me very
kindly, and our relations were always
pleasant. Ido not believe in dragging;
Mr. Cleveland's political fortunes into
this fight, for the simple reason that it
might hurt both us and him. Mr. Scott]
has frequently disagreed with me in the
past, is a bluff, hard fighter, but is al- ■
ways there when needed."
Senator Wallace looks much the same
as he did twelve years ago, when he and
ex-Senator J. N. Castle, of Stillwater,
helped to make up the convention that;
nominated that peerless leader, Samuel j
J. Tilden, for. president. The Still wa-;
ter statesman once gave me an account'
of the impression * made upon him by
Mr. Wallace at that time, which I •
will *. relate. "I was in the St.
Louis convention of 1876 with Sen
ator Wallace, of Pennsylvania," said ;
Mr. Castle, "and I was greatly taken .
with him. Besides being a very bright ;
man, he is a sensible and common-sense
fellow. I remember he walked into the
convention in the afternoon of one ot
The Hottest Days
1 ever saw. Every, .one .was roasting.
Unlike everybody else Senator Wallace
proceeded to take off his coat and take
things as coolly as; he could. He was
the only man in the house with his coat
off. I took a liking to him then which
1 have had ever. since." ' ~:-'i
The distinguished - Pennsylvanian
laughed at this story and, while he
could not recall the incident, said that
his invariable rule. was to -keep; cool in
St. Louis if ..it was at all' possi
ble without completely undressing.
While it is by several months, too early
to make predictions on- this state, there
is certainly more than a fighting - show
for the Democrats. When the -Repub
lican leaders commence to quake in
Pennsylvania, the home of protection,
there ought to be room for hope in the
agricultural states of the West. With
all the government bounties in the way
of tariff taxes now enjoyed by Pennsyl
vania, business in all lines, and partic
ularly farming, is in a most wretched
and depressed state. There is a general
feeling of dissatisfaction and unrest
among all classes; and. if Senator Dela
mater leads the Republican hosts in
the coming contest; either Gov. Patti
son or Senator Wallace will have a walk
over. KjgaggKTg^ J. A. N.

A Heated Conversation in a
' Cab Leads Up to the
Tragedy.
Montreal, Ju»e This afternoon
at 4 o'clock, in broad daylight, on one
of the principal streets of Montreal, a
tragedy was enacted that has thrown
the city into a paroxysm of excitement.
St. Catherine street was crowded with
pedestrians, as is usual at that hour.
Suddenly they saw a flash and a puff of
smoke and heard a pistol shot and
a woman's scream. A cab was
■ brought :to a 'standstill and ' a
woman alighted. In it were still
two' men, one with a smoking
revolver in his hand, the other uncon
scious, and his blood soaking into the
rugs. of the carriage. The wounded
man was Eugene H. Cowles, of . Cleve
laud, 0., son of Edwin Cowles, late ed
itor of the Leader. His assailant was
E. C. Hale, of the same city, and the
woman was Cowles' wife. After a few
hurried words Hale ordered the cabman
to . drive to the general hospital.
.The. lady re-entered V the car
riage, which started for the
hospital, a distance of half a mile. . A
: bystander had telephoned for an am
bulance, an"d it met the party, but its
services were not required. On arriv
ing at the hospital Dr. . Kilpatrick, med
ical superintendent, had the wounded
man conveyed to a private ward, where
Dr. Fenwick, one. of the attending
physicians, was called. There" was a
close examination and a
Hurried Consultation,
and the result was announced to the
eager ciowd. There was no immediate
danger. The ball had entered the right
side of the neck, and after piercing the
right jawbone emerged through the
cheek of the ; opposite side. ' When it
became known that there was no imme
diate danger an inquiry Into 'the facts of
the case, was begun. . The party, with
Sergeant Foye.r.who -had accompa
nied * them ' from ' St. * " Catherine
street, proceeded to : the . central
police : * station. '"Sergeant Watson" was
on duty and "* received them. Hale
briefly related the story of the shooting
and gave himself up on the charge of
shooting with intent to kill. He took a
brief leave of his friends and was then
shown to the cell ■he was to occupy.
There was now on the scene Mrs;
Cowles, Mrs. Bolton, her sister-in-law;
Judge J. E. Ingersoll, of - Cleveland, as
Mrs. Cowles' legal adviser; and D.
McGibbon, Q. C, of Montreal.
Cowles was visiting his mother in Cleve
land, as had been his; custom. His lit
tle daughter, who was stopping with
her mother, was permitted to visit her
father at his mother's liouse. He took
her in charge and went to the station,
accompanied by his sister, but he es
caped from her and at once took a train.

and was next located . at the Welland
hotel, St. Catharines. There he was
met by Sheriff Sawyer, who had a long
interview with him, lasting nearly a
day. On Thursday Cowles took a boat
for Toronto, about four hours' sail. He
had previously said he was willing to
have an interview.with his wife, but
would talk with no one else. His
object was to obtain an. additional
allowance. Four months ago, on the
death of his father, he was cut off with
an ■'. allowance of $2,500. Previous ■'* to
this he had been living," it is "said, at a
rapid rate, and made two visits, to Eu
rope in company with a woman of ques
tionable character, named Clara Liene
schloss. She is known under the, ali
ases King and Wilson, and is at present
stopping at the Welland hotel, St. **
Catharines, having come there from
Buffalo. On Monday last an" ap
plication was made for a divorce by
Mrs. Cowles on the ground of adnitery.
: Cowles admitted his guilt to the sheriff,
' naming persons and places, but he af
firmed that his wife had condoned the
offense. Mrs. Cowles has in her pos
session a letter in which he promises to
mend his ways and be faithful in fut
ure. Thursday, at 7:50. Cowles ** left
for Montreal. A pursuing party, com
posed of Mrs. Cowles, Mrs. Bolton,
Judge lugersoll, C. C. Hale add
officers reached Toronto the same morn
ing. A consultation by Cowles withhis
Toronto attorneys, McCarthy, Osier &
Creelman, led to an interview being ar
ranged here. The ] last party : reached
here this morning and stopped at ; the
Windsor . hotel. Cowles - had left the
Windsor and had gone to St. Lawrence
hall, where he registered as "Mr. Wil
son and child," and had breakfast.
After breakfast he took the child to
L' Academic de la . Sacre Cceur, a - con
vent under, the charge of Les Scours de
la Province,' and
Gave Instructions
that she was not to be given up without
a written order from him. He then re
turned to the hotel without the child,
ready for the interview with his wife.
The child Florence is nine years old and .
of remarkable beauty. ' Ten ; years ago ;
Cowles was married to Miss Alice Hale,
daughter of .E .B. Hale, a banker of
Cleveland. For five years all ; went
well, : when Cowles began to ."---_ ab
sent himself from home, allt*
iing -"■*'-■ that business called him ,* to
•Lockport, N. Y. Instead of this he
used to go to the Iroquois house, where
■the*, woman. Wilson, or; Clara Lien-'
eschloss, as she was known, was stop
ping. ;On 1 .- one - occasion when * in
Europe Cowles cabled to his wife to
come to his aid,** saying that he was sick.
She did go, accompanied by -: her .
Child,-: but he '*: no sooner. - recov
ered than he ".left her: and returned
with a strange : woman to America | and
registered in a hotel in "the Catskill
/.mountains as man and wife. :.; On anoth
er r occasion he lived with her ,in San .
Francisco, alleging that * she was his
widowed sister ? and occupied * adjoining ;
rooms. The : father of * Cowles, during;
this absence of his son," became sus
_ picious of him, and, calling his daugh
ter-In-law, questioned her whether she
had - had '■; any- trouble with -, her hus
band. Receiving a reply in the nega
tive, he told her that if at any time any
trouble should arise she was at
once to communicate the fact to him.
because he believed .he had more con
trol over his son than anybody else had.
Last October she discovered what she
believed to be his treachery; and called
on his father, when the son was cut off
with $2,500 a year, the bulk of the money:
going to his wife. To-day the interview
was effected. Cowles insisted that only
his _ wife ; should be present, :. but ; her
brother . would not consent, and
he accompanied them : in the cab
for a drive in Mountain park.
The : interview was in progress; when
Cowles made a : movement as if to draw
a revolver, when Hale anticipated him,
with the . result stated. An *•■ order was
procured from, Judge Dugas to the sis
ters instructing them *to produce the
child, but they refused. The court will
issue an official mandamus to-morrow,
when a guardian will be appointed.
Hale will appear in * the police court to
morrow to answer to the charge against
him. . Much - symyathy is felt for Hale
and Mrs. Cowles, as it is believed
Cowles intended to kill his wife. .
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Mr. Cowles Steals His Child While
in Cleveland.
Cleveland, 0., June Eugene
Cowles, referred to in the Montreal dis
patch, and his wife had not been living
together _f or some me. About two
.weeks ago he was attacked with a se
vere hemorrhage of the lungs at Lock
port, N. V., - where he is : engaged
in *: business. Feeling the . ne
cessity of going West for his
health, he made a visit to
Cleveland to bid his mother and friends
good bye. When he left here last Mon
day he took with him his little daughter
Florence, aged about ten -years, un
known to her mother. The child's ab
sence was soon discovered and a search
for her begun. When Mrs. Cowles
learned that her . husband had taken
Florence with him she at once began a
suit for' divorce, and an order was
issued by the court giving her
posesssion of her daughter pending
the hearing of the case; Mr. Cowles
went from Cleveland to Toronto, . and
Mrs. Cowles, accompanied by her at
torney, Judge J. E. Ingersoll, her sister
and her brother, followed, in order to
regain possession of the child. In the
meantime. Mr. Cowles had gone with
his daughter to Montreal, where he was
overtaken by them. Eugene Cowles is
a son of the late editor of the Leader,
and Mrs. Cowles before marriage was a
Miss Hale, daughter of a wealthy Cleve
laud banker. * ■ *
BUCOD A'S GREAT LOSS.
Fire Does the Little Town Much
Damage.
- Seattle; Wash., June B.— The works
of the Slatco Manufacturing company,
Bucoda, situated twenty miles south of
Olympia, and a . number of dwellings
were destroyed by . fire last night, en
tailing a loss of nearly. $150,000. The
fire originated in the factory in the dry
kiln next to the engine .room, and was
not discovered uutil . the . flames burst;
through the roof. The factory was in
flames four minutes later, barely giving
the employes a, chance to get out with
their lives. A number of piles of dressed ;
lumber in the yard adjoining the fac
tory then caught fire, and soon the
large saw mill was ablaze. About fifty
men fought desperately to save the mill
by passing water buckets. The
heat became intense and all efforts were ■
abandoned. A panic then ensued, the
lumber piles burning and a heavy wind
blowing. The coal mines are but* a
quarter of a mile northeast of the mill,
and the forest next got on fire and trav
eled rapidly toward the mines. Dwell
ings in the southern portion of the
town also became ignited by sparks and
many burned. Latest reports show the
loss to . be: Factory, $35.000 ; mill, $50,
--000; three million feet dressed lumber,
S48.000; dwellings, $5,000; insurance,
$47,000. The fire is a calamity to the
citizens of Bucoda, as - most of them are
dependent on the mill for support. Two
hundred men are thrown out of employ
ment. _________ ■
SEVEN WERE DROWNED.
Sad Ending of a Sabbath Fishing
: v Excursion.
Boston, June B.— About 6 a. m. a
party of eight young men started for a
fishing excursion in a sail boat. When
they were about one mile from Thomp
son's island, in Dorchester bay, the boat
was struck by a squall and capsized. All
but one were swimmers, but, instead of
trying to swim ashore, they tried to
climb on the boat, which was so heavily
ballasted that their weight would force
her beneath the surface, leaving them
struggling in the water. In this man
ner their strength was exhausted, and
they sank one by one. until but one was;
left. The survivor, Walter Qninlan, had
sunk for the last time.when the boat, in
rising, came up under him, lifting him
above the surface. He floated in an
unconscious condition for some time,
.when the boat was seen from the shore
by employes of the- gas works at Cow
Pasture Point, who went out, brought
him to shore and resuscitated him. The
drowned are: Lawrence McTiernan,
aged twenty-four years, and John Sulli
van, aged twenty-four.living in Charles
town; Albert Lombard, twenty, of Bos
ton; James Husband, seventeen;
Thomas Troy, eighteen, and Joseph
Tufts, eighteen; of South Boston, and
Edgar Maloney, aged eighteen; of Dor
chester. McTiernan left " a wife and
child. The others were unmarried.
CABLE TRAINS COLLIDE.
A Derailed Grip Car's . Truck
. . Causes the Accident.
Chicago, June B.— Two cable trains
crowded with people . ' collided to-night
at the switch at the corner of Division
and Clark streets. Five passengers were
more or less injured,' but ' none . fatally.
An unaccountable derailment of one of
the trucks on a grip car caused the col
lision. For a time there was confusion
bordering on panic. The shock was so
sudden and violent that nearly all the
200 passengers on the trains were
hurled headlong to the floors. In the
wild scramble to escape from the wreck
many women fainted, and there were
scores of torn coats and tattered dresses.
Jumped to Death.
Cincinnati, o_, June Daniel Wil
cox jumped from the Newport railroad
bridge, ninety feet, into the river to
day, fell ;on his . stomach ; and was so
badly injured that he died half an hour

THIS SEN AT E TAKES IT.
Silver to Be Discussed by the
Upper House.
Washington, June B.— The interest
that centered in the proceedings of the
house last week will' be transferred
this week to the . senate. The . discus
sion of the silver question will be re
sumed to-morrow, the bill that was
passed by the house Saturday being
substituted for the pending measure on
the senate calendar. V This will facili
tate the disposition of the matter. It is ;
believed that a vote on the bill will be
reached .before the *find,-|,of the week.
It is also believed ; that •' the bill,- if
'-■ it - shall' _ pass ; . the *.- senate, will
provide for ... the purchase of 4,500,
--000 ounces- of silver monthly, the
certificates to be issued in payment
thereof to be legal tender for all debts,
' and to be redeemed in lawful money.'
Senator Vest has given notice that he
will ask the senate some day this week
to take up the bills on the calendar in
regard to the transportation of cattle
and beef products, but he will probab y
give way to the silver debate, if it shall
continue during the week. The legis
lative appropriation bill will be report
ed to the senate early in the week, and
Senator Allison, chairman of the com
mittee, says he expects to have it
passed before t_je week ends. Eulo
gies over late Representative Wilbur
will be delivered Thursday, and Satur
day will be devoted to "unobjected"
bills on the calendar. Ii? comparison
with preceding weeks the -forecast of
business to come before the house this
week is lacking in general interest.
Several appropriation bills are on the
calendar, and it is the intention to dis
pose of them with expedition in order
to avoid embarrassment to the public
service by delayed appropriations at the
beginning of the next fiscal year. To-*
morrow the district committee will
have the floor to bring up matters of
local interest. There are a number of
senate bills, mostly of a private nat
ure, now on the speaker's table,
and it. is' probable that a
day will be allotted for their
disposition. The public buildings com
mittee are also making strenuous efforts;
to secure another special order to res
cue the batch of bills hung up, and Mr.
Turpie's last ineffective point of '.-"no
quorum." There is a special urgency in
this case, as the sundry civil appropria
tion bill, which contains the appropria
tions for public buildings, is to be re
ported next week, and it is necessary
that the delayed bills be passed if they
are to be : followed by appropriations.
The commerce committee has also ap
plied for an evening session during the
week. As yet none of their applica
tions have received the attention of the
committee on rules, but a meeting.is to
be held early in the week, when the
exact order of business may be demon
strated.
CANADAY'S SHOES.
Several People Are Ready to Fill
Them.
Washington, June B.— The Repub
lican members of the senate will hold a
ctucus Tuesday evening to make choice
of a successor to Sergeant-at-Arms
Cariaday, whose resignation takes effect
on the first of n«xt month. There are
several candidates in the fluid, the
chief of them being Ex-Representative
Valentine, of Nebraska. Deputy . Ser
jeant-at-Arms Charles B. Reade, of
Maine, has a strong following, and the
friends of William Bailey, of Phila
delphia, Senator Quay's candidate,
think he has a fair chance of winning
the prize. Col. Swords, of lowa, is a
candidate, and Mr. Reed, of Minnesota,
is tentatively in the race. It is not im
possible that when the Republican sen
ators get together they will consider the
possibility of making other, changes in
the executive staff of the senate. •_' •
ELECTRIC SIGNALS.
Satisfactory Tests of a Peculiar
New Device.
; Washington. June B.— Very satis
factory tests of a new railroad electric
. danger signal were . made yesterday aft
ernoon on the Baltimore & Ohio, rail
road near Washington. The device,
which is to be operated by the Universal
Electric Railway Signal Company. of
Richmond,". Va., consists ' of : an electric
circuit formed by a: brush * contact un- :
derneath the engine, with ; an iron rod,
laid between the rails, *.-. through /. the
metal and driving wheels of the engine.
With suitable batteries; and telegraphic
apparatus the '* engineers of trains com
ing from the same or opposite directions,
within a . mile or. a mile and a" half of
: each other, are notified of the proximity
of their trains with uu erring certainty,;
NO. 160. ..j
by the ringing of an electric bell; and 1
then, as soon as this dangerous proxim
ity is noted, telephonic communication'
through the rail and rod can at once be
established, and the engineers, after .
stopping their trains, may, talk with.'
each other. The tests made . in the
presence of a number of newspaper
correspondents and electrical experts .**
and others were highly satisfactory, and
will undoubtedly result in the adoption
by the Baltimore & Ohio road of a cheap
and certain extra precaution against
collisions of all kinds which, in spite of
extraordinary care, are likely to happen
and do sometimes happen on all rail* .
roads.
A QUARTETTE OF WILSONS
Who Get Embarrassed Over Theft
Votes.
Washington, June There are
four Wilsons members of the house of
representatives, and once in a while
the presence of so many persons with a
common family name occasions slight
mistakes in the record of the proceed
ings of the house, the more especially
as the Wilsons do not at all owe Realty
to the same political party. An instance
of this happened yesterday in the vote
on the silver bill. Mr. Wilson, of Mis-'
souri, a Democrat, was recorded in the
press account giving the yea and naVi
vote as voting in favor of the passage
of the bill, whereas he voted against its
passage, while Mr. Wilson, of Washing
ton, a Republican, was put down among'
those opposed to the bill, although he
voted in favor of it. The error occurred
through the reading clerk inadvertently
calling the name of Mr. Wilson, of
Washington, before that of Mr. Wilson,
of Missouri, thus reversing the order in
which their names are placed on the
roll call.
