KEY FAILS TO WREST CONTROL OF THE WAMSH VTTEBLT DEFEATED AXD IS FORCED FROM BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Nothing Whatever to Do Now With Management of the Railroad Take His Defeat in a Philosophical Man nerMight Have Done Better, He Say, With Fairer Treatment In the Caucuses Not Sorry lie Entered Upon the Fight. Toledo, O., Oct 11. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., failed completely to-day In his ef fort to wrest control of the Wabash system from.George Gould. Not only (was he utterly defeated In all he hn dertook, but he was forced from the directory of the road, and now has nothing whatever to do with its man agement in any manner. He put up a hard fight, and struggled gamely to the last, but was so hopelessly In the minority that he never had a chance. He filed protests all through the meet ing, not with the reason as he after ward declared, . of being an obstruc tionist, but because he desired to lay the foundation for any contest that might hereafter be made. He took his defeat In a philosophical manner, say ing, "I think that with fairer treat ment in the caucuses I might have made a much better showing than 1 did. ' In fact, I made a better showing than the returns credit me, with. "here are several large blocks of stocks and bonds that should have been voted for me, but were given to Mr. Gould bV the election inspectors. 1 believe that any court in the. land would declare that those votes are properly mine.. I have have filed pro tests In all of those cases, not because I desired to be an obstructionist, but because I desired to prepare for any thing that might come hereafter. I lhave not determined whether ornot to commence a contest, but nothing of ' that kind will be attempted by me im mediately. I am not the kind of a man to employ destructive or obstruct ive tactics wantonly. I will say, how ever that the meeting that has just closed is not the. end of this affair by & good deal, but I cannot say just now what the next step will be. "There Is one thing more that I wish ttO'Say, and that is that I am, not sor ry that I entered upon this fight. I have not regretted It at any time since I embarked upon It- The only thing I regret Is that I was not elected." ; : Mr. Gould was highly pleased at the outcome. "I am, of course, very glad that the matter has terminated as it has," he declared. "There was not a moment, Jn fact, when any other termination was possible. For all that, however, I feel happy that my administration of the road has rece'lved the emphatic (endorsement that It has. Further than that I can eay nothing. The result eays morethan I can, and I think it is about plain enough for anybody to comprehend." When asked If he. expected the election to be contested, Mr. Gould replied: "Of course, I do hot know what other people may attempt, hut I hardly ex pect anything of the kind. I relly do not see where it will benefit theim, for I am sure our proceedings have been perfectly legal throughout. I certainly desired to have them that way, and we have a roomful of lawyers here who eay we have done things in a proper manner." Just before the announcement of the final vote electing the directors was announced. Judge Doyle, speaking for Mr. Ramsey, filed a formal protest against as election as directors of the Wabash road of Russell Sage and George J. Gould, on the ground that they are directors of the Missouri Pa cific road, which is a competing line of the Wabash. His protest was placed on file.

CAPTAIN AND FOUR OF !S CREW MURDERED TRAGEDY OX TIIE FOUR MASTED SCHOONER HARRY A. BERWISD. Decks of the Vessel Crimson With Blood Three Negroes Brought to Shore In Irons Trouble Arose Over Coffee Made for Breakfast Prise Crew Now Aboard Vessel Will Ar rive at Wilmington, Jf. C, To-day. Wilmington, N. C, Oct. 11. The mur der of Captain Rumill and four of his crew of the four-masted schooner Har ry A.

Taylor, bound from Brunswick, Ga., to Philadelphia, put in Southport thi3 afternoon, bringing in irons three ne groes, all that remained of the crew of the Harry A. Berwind.

Captain Taylor and crew boarded the vessel and placed the negroes in irons, bringing the two vesels off the bar, when one of them was towed In by Wilmington tugs. The tugs have re turned for the other schooner, but a gale is prevailing outside. It develops from the stories of the negroes brought in irons by the King that the mutiny arose as the result of a quarrel aboardship early Tuesday morning about the coffee made for breakfast. The King was signalled by the Berwind thirty miles east of Fry ing Pan lightship, and in response to a signal Captain Taylor sent his mate, engineer and others on board the Ber wind. The decks of the schooner were crimson with blood, giving evidence of a fierce encounter. The berth of the mate was spotted with blood, Indicating that he was butchered in bed. After the boarding party from the King handcuffed the mutineers on the ship one Of the negroes complained that the irons were too tight and hurt him. The bracelet on the negro's arm was loos eened, when the captive whipped out a pistol and shot one of his own crew. The total list of killed is four whites and one negro. The King left a prize crew aboard the Berwind, which is still off tho bar, but will be brought in to-morrow mornng. United States Commissioner S. P. Collier and Deputy Marshal C- O.

This expedient was first adopted at Solingen, but has now spread to various Westphalian cities, to Posen and even to Bavarian towns.

Saw Man In Woods Cutting His Hair Might Easily be the Missing Clerk Thief Can Easily Carry $100,000 on Ills Person Without Attracting At tention Express Company Makes Good the Amount to Cincinnati Bank. Pittsburg, Oct. 11 Up to midnight nothing definite had developed in the Adams Express rolbbery of Monday evening. What may prove an important clue to the, actions of Cunllffe was given to the detectives to-day by C G. Hoover, a reputable merchant of Alleghany. If Mr. Hoover's suspicions are correct, and the detectives are inclined to be-be-Heve them, Cunllffe did not leave this neighborhood until after Tuesday evening. Mr Hoover, who Is an ardent fisher man says that on Tuesday evening Mr. Hoover, .who is an ardent fisher man, says that on Tuesday evening while he was fishing, along the banks of the Ohio, near Emsworth, a suburib of Alleghany, he heard behind him a hard dry oougS, but could see no one. After several repetitions of the cough he located a man whom the has since learned answered thff description of the missing man: He had a small mirror fixed on a bush and was industriously cutting his hair with a pair of clippers. Mr. Hoovei-, of course, had heard noth ing of the express robbery at that time and had, no incentive to question the man's right to be His own barber at such an unusual place, and paid no more attention to him The detectives think that as Cunllffe might be ex pected to do the most unusual thing it would not be surprising if the man Mr. Hoover saw should turn out to be the fugitive. According to Bie detectives, he could easily carry the $100,000 on his person without attracting attention. The package contained 1,900 (bills and this number could easily be distributed through the man's pockets and about his person- The numbers of the hills are known. The officers think the rob ber will fee' captured, however, withiiya few days between here and St. Louis, Kansas City or Omaiha, traveling by freight- Many rumors have been circu lated concerning Cunliffe's whereabouts but nothing definite has developed. Much speculation has been indulged in as to whether or not Cunliffe had an accomplice, but nothing has developed to make It appear that any other per son was in the secret There is considerable speculation as to what can be done with Cunliffe if fee Is caught. Attorneys express- the be- lief that he can be held for larceny only for taking the $100,000, but stealing the $1,000 from his employers maks (him lia ble for embezzlement. T. Hart Given, president of the Farmers' Deposit bank, the institution which consigned the $100,000 package to the First National bank of Cincin nati, when seen this evening:, said: "The incident is closed, so far as we are concerned, and -it Is up to the ex press company. We have the express company's receipt for the package, and I understand the Cincinnati Ibank was reimbursed to-day,by the company." Cincinnati, Oct. 11. The First Na tional bank of this city to-day received by telegraph from Pittsburg $100,000 which wag to have been brought by express, hut disappeared in Pittsburg.

For the first time this season the blue warriors managed to score more than once in the first half, rolling up seventeen; points where hitherto they have had to ibe satisfied with six. In the second half they crossed their op ponents goal twice. Springfield played a plucky game, but were two light for such heavy material as Yale. The Training school 'only got first down once, and; at no time held Yale for the fourth down. The men from Springfield might have held the score down by" at least twelve points had they used any kind of gen eralship. At the opening they lost the choice of goal on the toss, and were compelled to work against a very strong wind- Yale took advantage of this by punting, but Springfield, when the goals were reversed, after the first touchdown lost the ball several times on the fourth down rather than punt even with the wind. Yalexput up a strong game from start to finish. Captain Shevlln at end. showed' his old time brilliancy, but the bright and par ticular stars were Forbes, the old.Wes leyan player, who seemed to be every where, and Jones at quarterback, who went in as usual in the second half. Yale put in many substitutes in the second half. Springifleld twice was penalized three, yards on her five yard line for off-eid play, and lost thirty yards at other times for the same of fense.
