The Frenchman, however, ran to Mrs.
Nation and rescued the bottle, which she
had repeatedly brandished in the air to
emphasize her remarks. Then he pushed
her out of the door. Here .the police took
hold of the Kansas reformer and forced
her out of the building.
Mrs.- Nation then turned her attention
to other boxes. Finally she started for
the cafe, where she bore down on a party
of men who were drinking wine. Mrs.
Nation seized a bottle and glaring at the
men shouted: "Young men, don't drink
such filthy stuff! You are going straight
to hell. Where is the man who sells this
stuff? Show him to me, and I will tell
him what I think of him."
Mrs. ' Nation's request was speedily
granted by the sudden arrival of %1. VII
leplgue, the caterer at the garden. -
"Get out of this terrible business," she
shouted at him. "You are also going \ to
hell and ruining the bodies and souls of
men. You are dragging them down with
you. Shame; on you! Shame on you!"
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.— Mrs. Carrie Na
tion created a sensation at the "Horse
Show to-day. She harangued the great
gathering on the evils of overdress, at
tempted to break a bottle of champagne
and finally was ejected'frora the building
by the police.
Mrs. Nation entered the garden quiet
ly and took a seat in the tier.' She had
been there only a few minutes when 'her
gaze rested on the box where some mem
bers of the Vanderbilt family ,were sit
ting. She studied her programme and
then descended to the promenade. Sta
tioning herself in front of the Vanderbilt
box, she delivered a tirade on overdress.
In the box were seated Mrs. Alfred G.
Vanderbilt, Reginald Vanderbilt and Miss
Nicholson. Alfred G.; Vanderbilt was
leaning against the rail of the promenade
and did not see Mrs. Nation approach.
"You ought to be ashamed of-your
selves,", the woman, screamed at them.
"You ought to be ashamed to wear such
disgraceful clothes. Take them off. take
them off and attire yourselves \ more
modestly."
Alfred G. Vanderbilt hastily left his po
sition at the rail and came over to where
Mrs. Nation, was standing and wiping his
forehead with a handkerchief he whis
pered something in her ear and pushed
her away. The outburst of the \ woman
attracted a great crowd of people and the
occupants of the Vanderbilt box
evidently very much embarrassed.
"That's what I understood."
"Did you understand that the stock
holders of the holding company would ob
tain enough to control the policies of both
companies?" asked Munn.
"I understood," Kennedy replied, "that
the Northern Securities stockholders
would own enough stock in the railway
company to elect officers and directors of
both roads."
"That Is all we wanted, Mr. Kennedy,",
said Munn; "much obliged to you."
¦W. P. Clough, general counsel for the
Northern Securities Company, testified
that at the meeting of the Great North
ern directors in October 650,771 shares" of
Great Northern was recorded as voted.
Of that number 192,754 stood in the name
of the various holders and 458,017 as hold
ings of trustees for the Northern Securi
ties Company. None was voted in the
name of the securities conipany.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.— John S. Ken
nedy, a director of the Northern Securi
ties Company, gave testimony at the
hearing of the case of Minnesota against
the company to-day. During the recess,
after Kennedy had testified, Magnus D.
Munn, counsel . for . the State of Minne
sota, said: "Kennedy practically admitted
that the Northern Securities ' Company
was organized for the express purpose of
combining the parallel railroads to pre
vent competition. That Is all we charge
the company with and that is what he
laws of Minnesota say is illegal."
Kennedy began his testimony to-day by
saying' he presumed he and J. J. Hill
spoke of the Northern Securities Com
pany in a talk they had when Hill re
turned from Europe in June,
"You decided to turn all of; your inter
ests to the holding company?" asked
Munb. - .
"Something was said to that effect at
a meeting that was held."
Kennedy said he and most of the other
stockholders gave their proxies to Hill.
"Was not it understood that the holding
company was to get enough stock of each
of the railway companies to make sure
that there would never be any combina
tion against the Great Northern?" asked
Munn.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao,
Nov. 20.— It is considered remarkable that
President Castro has not resumed the
functions of the Presidency of Venezuela,
which he gave over to the' Vice President
when he took -the field prior to the bat
tle of La Victoria. This delay on the
part of President Castro j is regarded by
the diplomatic corps as an indication
that he is not satisfied that the revolution
Is over, although he infortned the foreign
Ministers that It* would be completed not
later than December 5. <
The strain of the relations between-
Great Britain and .Venezuela, already |
great, has been intensified' by the refusal '
of the British Government to give satis
faction in the Ban Rign affair and by the
publication of the Government of Tjinl
dad - of the decree announcing that the
blockade of the Orinoco ; River, ports de
clared by the Venezuelan ' Government , is
null and of no effect. The Trinidad Gov
ernment has also failed to recognize the
Presidential proclamation made the day
following the flight of General Matos, and
President Castro regards this omission as
further evidence that the British are en
couraging the revolution. '.. Mr. Haggard,
the British Minister at Caracas, reiter
j ated a few days ago to the Venezuelan
Government that Great Britain did not
; hold herself liable. for the action of the
Ban Righ, that she continues perfectly
neutral and that as an Indication of her
'conciliatory attitude she refused trie Ban
Rlgh to refit at Trinidad. This statemnt
is not acceptable to President Castro, who
insists on having satisfaction.
» The organ of the Venezuelan Govern
i ment publishes the aforementioned decree
! of the Trinidad Government and bitterly
attacks Great Britain on that score. It
says that Trinidad has been the head
quarters of General Matos' revolution,
that men and "ammunition have been sent
from that island and that Great Britain
has Incited and prejudiced the world
against Presidents Castro. The journal
declares that the blockade is effective
and that British vessels will be seized
If they violate it. Minister Haggard de
clines to make any statement, but in dip
lomatic circles it is understood that Great
Britain would release her ships by force,
and that this was one of the purposes of.
the recently reported ! entrance of one of
her warships into the Orinoco. Germany
is upholding Great Britain and is threat
ening a rupture of relations with Vene
zuela, but no action has yet been taken.
TUCSON. Ariz.. Nov. 20.— Augustine
Chacon, the notorious outlaw and slayer
of twenty-three men, made a last effort
to save his life to-day. Through his at
torneys he petitioned Judge Davis at Tuc
son for a writ of habeas corpus to stay
his execution, but a writ was refused and
unless some unforeseen step Is taken by
his counsel the outlaw will be hanged
at Solomonville to-morrow.
Chacon was convicted of murder at
Solomonville in 1S%, but broke jail an.d
v.-as recently captured after a chase cov
ering six years. : in whicn nearly every
officer in Southern Arizona participated.
Judge Doan fixed the day of his execu
tion for November 21 at the October term
of court. The law under which he was
tried and convicted was repealed in 1897,
but not before the death sentence had
been passed. It was on this ground that
u. writ of habeas corpus was asked and
it was urged in his behalf that the re
peal affected ¦ the power of the court to
make the recent execution order. Judge
Davis held that the conviction had been
complete before the statute was changed
and denied the writ.
The condemned man is the most des
perate outlaw who has infested the Ari
zona border for years and his execution
will be a relief to every officer in the
border country. It is known that at least
twenty-three men have met death at his
hands besides other unknown victims.
The crime for which he will be hanged
was the murder of Paul Salcedo, a Mo
rencia merchant, whom he killed In a
raid on that town in 1S37. After his con
viction , and sentence to death he broke
jail and was only captured last Septem
ber by Sheriff Del Lewis of Cochise
County, into whose hands he was be
trayed by his pal, Burt Alvord, another
notorious outlaw, who is now in the
clutches of the law awaiting trial.

stricken mourners. The mourners gather
ed in front of the temple and saw the re
mains bornfe away toward the crematory,
¦where they were Incinerated. In accord
ajree vwith- a wish often expressed by the
d&tased his a^hes will be hidden beneath
the sodlof some quiet spot ' in the Pied
mont' hills, where they will t rest un
marked.

POINT RICHMOND, : Nov. 20.— The
mangled body ot a man believed to ba
Richard >H. .. Fowle's, a painter, was found
on the Southern Pacific' Company's tracks
this morning five miles this side of Giant.
Fowles* -remains were brought here by
Deputy Coroner vCurryv The dead man
was killed by west-bound passenger train
No. » at 9:20. o'clock.
. Several papers were found in his pock
ets. One* document showed that he had
been traveling under the assumed name
of William Willard," because be objected
to ¦ bis own cognomen. : Fowles, according
to- a< brief ."autobiographical sketch he had
written, was a. sufferer, from epilepsy and
had. prepared; the staternent in anticipa
tion' of \ death - from that; trouble. It la
supposed he was. attacked* by the malady
and fell on -the tracks, helpless, and waa
not :se$n..fn. time to/prevent the fatality.
In > bis own " story lie '.wrote:
• ."Richard H. Fowles, a native of Salt
Lake, .jUtah,' raised ": In . Burlington, la.
father killed during Civil War. -W. J.
andrC.'E.,'Jarvis*, I understand, are still
living there. -; I .left home In 1S74, took
Horace Greeley's ; advice and came "West,
learned to be an - all-round painter and
was -married." on August -17, 18S9. In tho
city of Seattle. Wife ana little boy died
in' 1897.'-. Was resident painter of Albernl
f 6r several years ' in /. British Columbia.
Have been subject' to epileptic fits about
six years and seem' to r , be getting worse
and I am afraid I will die In one of them.
Therefore I write these brief lines. Have
relatives in Salt Lake City by the name
of Smith; Burlington, la., Jarvis; Steuben
ville, Ohio, ¦ Slee arid Jarvis. God have
mercy on me. I went under an assumed
name because I never liked Fowles as <•
name." ' - '
Fowles wa's about 45 years' of age*
-Within six months, according -to. the .es
timates of' the .projectors of - the San
