ANOTIIER VESSEL I'lBED ON
Within the Twelve-Mile Limit, But on Her
Usual Course.
Quarantine Staten Island, Oct. 15.—
Captain Seiders of the Atlae Line steam
er AJene was not inclined to talk about
the report that h1s steamer had been
fired on by a Spanish gunboat off Cape
May on the outward trip. He did
say, however, that on the morning of
September 26, when passing Cape May
a short distance from the place where
the American steamer Allianca had a
similar experience, he sighted a Spanish
gunboat heading toward hint. The Alene
was steering her customary course, and
was ofT Cape May; light, about three
miles from the shore. When about two
miles further on he was surprised by a
shot from a war vessel, which was fired
in his direction. This Bhot was followed
by two others In quick succession. Cap
tain Seiders Immediately stopped his ves
sel and set signs asking what was want
ed. The Alene also had all her usual
colors flying at the time. No answer was
made by the gunboat, which soon after
steamed away. Captain Seiders repent
ed the Incident to his agents and the
British authorities. Captain Seiders can
not account for the strange action of the
Spanish naval oflioer, as he was proceed
ing through the windward passage,which
all of the steamers of his line are accus
tomed to use on frequent occasions. He
Is unable to give the name of the gun
boat.

Mrs. Graydon’s Watch.
Denver, Col., Oct. 14.—More missing
victims of the Gumbrey hotel horror may
be added to the list of the dead. A Six
teenth street jeweler has a lady's watch
left for repairs on the day preceding the
explosion. The address given was "Mrs.
A. Graydon, Gumbrey hotel.” The watch
has remained uncalled for. The hotel
register gives the names of Alexander
Graydon, Indianapolis, under date of Au
gust 12, six days before the fire. When
the lady left the watch she stated that
She was to leave the city in a few days.
Inquiries have been sent to Indianapolis
to clear up the matter.

NOTED FISHERMEN
HAVE ARRIVED AT THE WHITE HOUSE
1 hey Did Not Get Sea Sick and Were Not
Scared While Being Tossed About
at Sea.
Washington, Oct. 15.—The president ar
rived in Washington at 4 o'clock sharp.
He was accompanied by Private Secre
tary Thurber and E. C. Benedict, who has
been for the past four days his host on
board the steam yacht Oneida. The party
boarded the yacht off Gray Gables and
started down Buzzard's Bay about 5
o'clock last Friday afternoon. A rough
sea was encountered, which tossed the
little vessel about in a most uncomfort
able manner the greater part of the
night, but the president and Mr. Thurber
proved good sailors, and suffered no
particular inconvenience during the run
to Sand s Point, near New Rochelle, at
the western end of Hong Island Sound,
which was reached about 9 o'clock Satur
day. _
The Oneida remained at anchor all day,
the president desiring to fish, but it rain
ed hard all day and prevented any sport.
On Sunday morning the yacht moved
down East river and anchored off
Twenty-sixth street, the party going
ashore and dining with Dr. Bryant. Sun
day afternoon the yacht proceeded down
the bay, anchoring for the night a short
distance from Sandy Hook. Had not the
weather outside been too threatening
there would have been no break in the
cruise at this point, but the indications
pointed to a heavy blow during the night,
and as there was no particular hurry for
reaching Washington, it was decided to
wait for daylight.
Promptly at 5 o’clock the Oneida put to
sea and set her course for the capes of
the Chesapeake. From Sandy Hook as
far as the entrance of the Delaware bay
the ocean was exceedingly rough and the
Oneida rolled badly, but all the party
declared that she behaved wonderfully
well and all on board claimed to have
reported at every meal between Gray
Gabies and the White House. The sea
subsided after Delaware was passed
and salutes were exchanged with a num
ber of coasting steamers. Cape Henry
and Cape Charles light were alieam at
1 o’clock this morning, and about day
break the Potomac was entered. No in
oident occurred until the yacht was rec
ognized and cheered at Mount Vernon.
The president was met at the wharf by
his carriage, which drove him rapidly
through the city, reaching the White
House accompanied by Mr. Benedict at
4:15 o’clock.
The president has improved notably in
appearance during the summer, and Is
evidently in excellent health. In "addi
tion to the recreation he secured at his
seaside home, he managed to keep up
with all current business which demands
bis attention, and in consequence he re
turns to find no accumulation of work
on his desk, except a number of vacan
cies created during his absence, and
for which In most instances he hns prac
tically determined on the appointments
he will make.
Private Secretary Thurber Is also
much refreshed by his vacation. He had
lots of good fishing during the summer,
and attained a very becoming tanned
skin.

Cent.revllle. Oct. 14.—(Special Corre

finish picking cotton within the next two
weeks. The citizens of this place are
very much pleased with the State Her
ald. Politically, everything is very quiet
in this county. The financial question is
discussed very little. There is no doubt
that a large majority of the democratic
voters of this county are for Captain
Johnston for governor. Some of the
strongest advocates of the single gold
standard in this county are strong John
ston men. They have too much sense to
notice the malicious thrusts that some
of the newspapers of the state are mak
ing at him. They know he is demo
cratic to the oore, and has done good
and valiant servioe for the party. Cap
tain Johnston is in every way
fitted for itlie office of gov
ernor of Alabama, and the demo
cratic party owes him the nomination.

PRESIDENT ODELL’S SPEECH
Membership in the Bankers' Association Will Be
Equivalent to an Insurance Against
Forgery, Burglary, Etc.
Atlanta, Oct. 15.—President Odell in the
course of Ills speech said:
In the inarch of events It is not always
possibly to trace an effect to its cause,
nor can we always foresee the results
that flow from the action of today, so It
appears difficult to set forth minutely
the achievements which are truly the
fruit of our endeavor; but it is doubt
less true that many of the improvements
in the methods of practical banking can
be traced to the educational efforts of
the association, and not a few of the re
forms In commercial practice are due to
it. The abolition of the war tax on de
posits, probably the removal of stamps
due on bank checks and some of the
amendments to the national bank act
may be attributed to our body. Growing
out of the agitations begun in the con
ventions of the association has followed
the abolition of days of grace in many
states, twelve having already adopted
this reform. Today we are engaged in a
great practical work endeavoring to pro
tect our members against the depreda
tion of the criminal classes, and the ex
perience of the past year, during which
an active defense has been undertaken,
points to such possibilities of success
that I think I can assure you if the pres
ent plan and policy are persisted in that
the members of this association will se
cure freedom from the assaults of the
professional criminal, and a membership
in this association will be an Insurance
against forgery, burglary and profession
al swindling.
A year ago at your convention at Bal
timore a plan for the reformation of our
national currency system was adopted,
and while the arrangements of the asso
ciation did not meet with universal ap
proval the action of the convention gave
rise to a most extensive agitation of the
currency question both in and out of con
gress, and a great deal of valuable dis
cussion followed. The effort of the as
sociation to deal with this subject has
not been fruitless, and it Is to be hoped
that the agitation thus Initiated will con
tinue until the government shall abandon
the issue of notes and a more perfect
currency system shall be adopted. The
evils of our present system were never
more apparent than today. During the
period since we last met together our
country has passed through an expe
rience that will not soon be forgotten.
Followinga season of universal liquida
tion and distress the country was con
fronted by a national treasury forced
almost to the very edge of bankruptcy,
and was saved from this only by the
heoric and patriotic action of a wise and
courageous president. For weeks uncer
tainty and confusion prevailed, and were
not allayed until, by the sale of a large
amount of bonds, the government re
covered Its gold reserve, That this ex
pedient offered but temporary relief "we
have h'a.d ample evidence, and the signs
are not wanting to Indicate that we have
yet more trouble in store unless we shall
depart from the present makeshift and
pernicious system of government Issues.
With a scientific monetary system, based
upon a standard which hos received the
indorsement of the most civilized nations,
we may feel assured that the intelligent
and energetic people of the United States
will develop and utilize to an extent be
yond the dreams of the wildest visionary
the marvelous resources which nature
has with such generosity bestowed upon
us, until at last we shall take our true
place among the nations of the earth, the
foremost In material prosperity and
moral worth, which will be manifested
In the advancement of our arts and
sciences and In the daily life of our peo
ple. Today, were it not for our uncertain,,
currency system, we might well congrat
ulate ourselves upon the condition of
affairs.

today at II o’clock, but the audience
was very attentive. Dr. Pearson preach

He admonished them to live a godly and
sober life.
There was quite a crowd collected on
the corner of Third avenue and Nine

of rope walking by an advertiser of snuff
and liver regulator. He cut many antics,
which were very amusing to the small
boy.
There was a negro named Sebe Sneed,
who loaded pig iron at the new furnaces,
who got both legs cut off above the knees
and ills right arm. He was riding the
car from the iron yard to the scales and
was knocked off by the scales as he was
passing them, and fell across the track
and was ran over. He was still alive at
last accounts.
Miss Kate McLaughlin’s house on
Third avenue between Seventeenth and

THE RACES.
Morris Park Results.
Morris Park Race Track, Oct. 15.—The
Westchester Racing association began Its
meeting at this track today. The weather
did not smile upon the proceedings. It
rained steadily all the afternoon. The
attendance, despite the weather, was
quite large. The changed conditions of
the going caused many withdrawals, but
the scratches were not of sufficient num
ber to rob the card of all Interest. The
features today were the 'Nursery stakes
for 2-year-olds and the Manhattan handi
cap, with nearly all of the crack handi
cap horses in It. In the former event
Ben Brush, the favorite, clearly demon
strated his superiority overall this year's
crop of 2-year-olds. He won the race
quite handily from Haslet. The heavy
track caused Clifford to evade meeting
Henry of Navarre in the Manhattan
handicap. Counter Tenor, the added
starter in this event, rushed to the front
and piloted the field to the brow of the
hill, where Galileo took command, and
then Sir Walter. Henry of Navarre, who
had been taking matters easily, rushed to
the front in the final sixteenth, and won
very easily by an open length.
Couner Tenor beat Sir Walter, who
collapsed utterly in the last twenty
lengths, two lengths, for second money.
Altogether the •lent did not fare badly
on the opening day, as three favorites
passed under the wire winners.

won by Semper Bex, who is a remarkably
good horse right now. Buck MasSle won

.Lexington Result*.
Lexington, Ky„ Oct. 15 —The 1895 meet
of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breed
ers’ association has thus far been a
high class, and the several days show
that interest is unabated, giving evidence
that it will be the most successful meet
ing In the history of the association.
Only two events reached a conclusion
this afternoon and in neither case did
the first choice win. The Wisconsin stal
lion B. B. P. ruled as choice in the $5000
stallion representative stake and on form
should have won, but Baron Dillon was
the best horse and won. Gentry did not
handle B. B. P. Just to suit the crowd
and a shift on the betting caused the
judges to think that something was
wrong. In the fifth heat Billy Andrews
took the ribbons by request and could
not have lost had B. B. P. remained on
a trot, as he was making a gradual but
certain gain near the seven furlong, but
Shifted to a pace and then a break and
iillon won a brilliant victory in 2:12%.
Two of the prime choices in the 2:16
trot. Lyric and Rotta Soap, won a heat
each.
Tomorrow will see the prime event for
the free for all pace, in which Robert J.,
John R. Gentry, Joe Patchen and Frank
Agan will meet, and it will be the betting
race of the meeting. Another special
race of interest will be the 2:11 trot, In
which several of the Transvylia starters
will battle for honors.

Sympathy Is With the Steamer.
Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 16.—United States
Marshal Carroll telegraphs from New
bum that arrangements have been made
for a full hearing before Judge Seymour
next Friday in the case of the United
States against the alleged filibustering
steamer Commodore, whch is held at
Wilmington. This will help the steamer
to get liberty soon'if the charges that she
is a filibusterer can be disproved. For
this special hearing of the case it would
not have come up until November 7 at
Wilmington. The Spanish detectives
assert that they have ample evidence to
secure conviction. The captain of the
Commodore was not put on the witness
stand at the first hearing. It is said that
between the time of the release and the
reseizure the captain had time to leave
Wilmington with his vessel, but he did
not appear desirous to go. The sym
I»athy of all the people in this state is
with the vessel and Its supposed mis
sions.

A MERIDIAN SENSATION.
John Sullivan, a Young- Business Man, Com
mitted Suicide by Taking an Over
dose of Laudanum.
Meridian, .Miss., Oct. 14.—(Special.)—
Quite a sensation was caused lute this
evening by the announcement that John
Sullivan, a young business man of this
city, had committed suicide by taking an
overdose of laudanum. It seeins that
Sullivan, upon going to his home on
Twenty-eighth avenue about 3 o'clock
this afternoon, went into his room, where
he was found about an hour laler In an
unconscious condition. An empty two
ounce laudanum bottle found near his
bed told the tale of the purpose to end
his life. A physician was summoned,
but the unfortunate young man had
passed beyond all succor before the doc
tor reached him.
Sullivan was 32 yearn of age. He was
born and reared In Meridian and 1 aves a
wife and child. He has led lately a dis
sipated life and has been involved In
some petty violations of law that car
ried him before the courts and It is
thought by some that he became despon
dent on this account, notwithstanding
the cases against him had been compro
mised or settled. His family does not be
lieve, however, that he really intended
to take his own life and they hold to the
opinion that ills* death *.-as accidental
and unintentional.
