Two Events on the Card Taken In
Easy Fashion by Odds
on Horses.
MEMPHIS, Term., Oct. 25.— The na
tional circuit bicycle meeting here to
night was attended by a large crowd
and many of the events were hotly
contested from start to finish. The
feature of the night's sport was the
mile open professional, in which such
cracks as Nat Butler, Tom Cooper,
Mertens and O. Stevens started. Nat
Butler won after an exciting finish
with Kimble and Mertens. Tom Coop
er fell in this event very near the ;
finish and retired from the track hurt. ;
A foul was claimed, on the ground j
that Kimble ran him down, crowding |
him off the track. Kimble was dis- j
qualified from second place, and the
alleged foul is being investigated.

MEDFORD FALL MEETING.
Five Heats Paced to Decide the
Day's Big Event.
MEDFORD, Mass.. Oct. 25.— The fall trot
ting meeting opened today. The 2:07 pace
brought out "four well-known horses, and five
heats were necessary to decide the race. Re
tina took the first two easily, but was beaten
in the third and fourth by Prince Alert, in
the fifth, however. Alert went to a break,
and before he got squared away he was a
double distance and out and the flag fell in
his face. There was not much of a contest
in the 2:16 trot. Prince Lavalard laid over
his field in a burst of speed and none of his
opiwnents headed him off from a straight
heat victory. Summary:
2*07 class pacing— Refina won the first, sec
end and fifth heats. Best time, 2:11. Prince
Alert won the third and fourth heats. Best
time. 2:11. Kentucky Star and Barney also
started. . , ,

three straight heats and the race. Best time,

ford "and Dexter X also started.
JUST ONE TOUCHDOWN.
Very Creditable Performance by the
High School Eleven.
The St. Paul High school football eleven
accompanied only by their manager and a
few faithful rooters, the school being but
lukewarm, went out to the Minnesota Agri
cultural school and met defeat at the hands
of the husky farmers, by a score of 4 to 0.
Two twenty-minute halves were played and
the score will show that it was no cinch for
the farmers. The high school played re
markably well, and, considering the difference
in weight of the two teams, it was no dis
grace to be defeated by their heavy opponents.
The Minnesota team averaged about 170 to
138 pounds for the high school, yet the young
sters kept the ball in Minnesota's territory
most of the time; they made good gains
around the ends, but were unable to buck
the center at all, Minnesota, being altogether j
to heavy. The high school deserves great ,
credit for their ginger, playing at all times
a hard, aggressive game. The Minnesotas,
although much heavier, played loosely and
showed lack of coaching. R>)r the high school
Leggett, Barlow, O'Brien and McDonald were
the stars, whi!e Becksteb and Crippen did the
best work for the farmers. Hoyt was injured
during the second half, being cut over the
eye, necessitating three stitches.
The teams lined up as follows ;
Central H. S. Position Minnesota
Delamere Center Wilson
Benton R. G Aune
Squires L. G Hoyt
Eriesson R. T Perkins
Yogas L. T Lugger
Barlow R. E Bassett ;
Carling L. E Ba'-ou i

FIGHTS FOR PLACE.
The Favorites Had an Easy Time at
Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct 25.— The contests
at the Louisville Driving and Fair associa
tion meet this afternoon were all for the
place, both the events that constituted the
programme going to odds-on favorites
in straight heats with no betting on them
after the first heat. The Monk opened at 1
to io for the 2:20 trot, but his easy win of
the first heat put him out of the betting
in the other two. The second heat fur
nished some excitement. A quiet tip on Med
ium Wood for a place was circulated and there
was a rush to the betting ring. Medium
Wood, backed from even money to 1 to 2,
finished second, but the judges looked with
suspicion on the repeated breaks of Louise
Mack and an investigation resulted in Mabel
Money Penny being given the place, with
Medium Wood third. All bets on these two
were df clarcd off. After the race. W. W.
Milan, driver of Louise Mack was fined $100.
Miss Margaret opened at 1 to 2 for the
three-minute pace, and made the easiest win

INFANT JEKYLL AND HIDE.
Girl at Troy. N. V., a Demon and
Ansel by Turns.
TROY, N. V., Oct. £5. — The extraordinary
case of Retta McCabe, a beautiful blue-eyed,
golden-haired child of 4 years, who has
pronounced suicidal and homicidal tendencies,
is puzzling the medical fraternity of Troy
and vicinity. The child is a female Jekyll
and Hyde. From a pretty smiling child she
is transformed in an instant into an uncon
trollable little demon.
While in this mood she fatally injured her
infant brother several weeks ago. She seized
the helpless babe and burled it to the floor.
Then she sprang upon the babe and beat it
with all her might. The infant died a week
later. And when Retta found that her baby
brother was dead she chuckled.
Yesterday afternoon this strange child was
found at "the union station, many blocks
from home. She insisted upon sitting on the
railroad tracks in front of approaching trains.
Passengers waiting in the station saw her
peril and several women nearly fainted. The
child was dragged from the track. She
6creamed. bit and fought. The policeman
who had her in his arms had to put her
down more than once, for fear she would
seriously disfigure his face.
At the Ssecond precinct station house It
was found necessary to place the child in a
cell. Behind the massive bars she raved and
tore madly at her beautiful blonde locks. In
a short time the paroxysm of rage passed
away, and she became a sunny little
creature. Today the child was taken home.

The Scene of the Wreck Visited by
Thousands of the Morbidly
Curious.
GARRISONS. X. V., Oct. 25.— The
complete list of the killed in the New
York Central & Hudson River rail
j road wreck, a list which the railroad
! officials believe includes all of those
I who could possibly have been lost, i 3
as follows:
Engineer John C. Foyle, of East Albany,
j body still in the river; Fireman John 0.
Tompkins, of East Albany, body still in the
river; Samuel Williams, 131 Best street. Buf
falo; Thomas Riley, of Su Lo-uis; W. H. G.

South Thirteenth street, Newark, N. J.
(otherwise known as William S. Be.-ker);
Guiseppe Taguana, 3* Park street, New York;
Mrs. Robert Lyndsman. Utiea; unknown

Chin Lee Song; Hoo Wuh, of New York;
Lee Tong Sing. 17 Mott street, New York;
unknown Chinaman, with letter to Hop Sing,

The number is nineteen and there is little
doubt that this is the total list of the killed.
The Injured — E. O. Parrish, conductor, se
verely bruised; Frank J. Degan, New York,
body bruised and face cut; Shaw, ex
press agent. New York, slightly bruised: John
j E. Ryan, Jersey City, badly lacerated arm

chanan, of New York, laceration of hand and
arm; John Flood, laborer, of Lockport, N.
Y\, head and arm cut; John Smith, express
messenger, injured internally; three China
men badly cut and bruised.
The bodies of the engineer, fireman
and Mr. Van Etten's secretary are yet
in the- river, with small hope of their
immediate recovery.
Had it not been for the fact that
torrents of rain poured down all the
afternoon, the New York central rail
road would have had an excursion
upon its hands larger than any fcr
years- As it was train load after train
load of curiosity seekers landed at the
j station near the wreck and walked
through the drenching rain to stand
and stare a.t the burning embers and
mutilated cars. Of the sixteen dead
who lay in the coroner's office at Cold
] Springs, eight were heathen foreigners
whose names or residences meant
scarcely anything to the general pub
lic and yet six of these eight were
identified and claimed long before any
person had come forward to inquire
or seek for two well dressed and evi
dentl3 T very respectable white women,
the only women killed in the wreck.
The sixteen bodies that were held at
Cold Springs for identification were
divided between the two undertaking
establishments. All day long -those
places were besieged hy crowds of the
curious, but only those who might in
i any way establish the identity of the
j victims were admitted to look upon
tSem.
BODIES IDENTIFIED.
The first body identified today was
that of Samuel Williams, of Buffalo,
who died after being taken out of the
wreck and while on his way to the
: Pt -.--'kskill hospital.
The body was removed from Peekskill ;
I to Cold Springs last night, and this
j morning was identified by the man's !
brother, Henry C. Williams. Early in .
I the day, the Chinamen, who, it was j
I supposed, would have to be buried at j
the county's expense, were for the most J
part identified by fellow countrymen i
from New York. Most of the China
men lived in New York. Chin Lee Song j
! and Chin Fong Hop were brothers, who |
lived in San Francisco and were on !
their way East to live, being in charge
of their father. Chin Quong Hon, of 15 I
Mott street, and who is now among the j
iniured in the Peekskill hospital. Hoo I
W*uh. fifty years of age, and for a
number of years a resident of New
Y< rk, was on his way home from a j
visit to San Francisco. The bodies will i
be taken to New York for burial.
This afternoon George C. Greene, of
Buffalo, general counsel of the Lake j
Shore railroad, arrived at Cold Springs i
and identified his nephew, Edwin A.
Greene, of Chicago. He said that the |
young man, who was thirty-two years |
of age, had called on him in Buffalo J
a few days ago. being on his way to
New York. The body was sent to
Binghamton, where his mother
lives, and where he will Joe buried. One
of the two women was identified this j
evening as Mary Lindsman, of Utica. ]
N. Y. She was identified by her hus- j
band, Robert Lindsman. a tailor, who
said that his wife ieft home on Satur
day night to go to Croton on a visit to
her mother. Mrs. Lindsman's maiden
nfime was Mamie Miller. William S.
Becker, of Newark. N. J., was identified
by his brother. Nicholas, of Adburn,
N. Y. He was thirty-eight years old,
and leaves a wife and two children.
Archie Boyd, an actor, who was re
ported missing', was seen by the As
sociated Press representative four
hours after the accident occurred on a
train that passed this point.
Stories current tonight, that some
parts of the wreck caught fire after the
accident, were declared to be untrue,
as are also the rumors that two bodies
had been found near Peekskill. None
of the injured are known to be in a
serious condition tonight, and are all
doing well.
At this time, but for a few burning
embers and twisted rails, it would be
difficult to detect any signs of the New
York Central disaster of yesterday.
Division Supt. McCoy decided that
none of the wrecked cars would ever
be fit for use again, and that, with the
exception of the cushions, there was
nothing worth saving. The torch was
applied to the day coach and the com
bination smoking and baggage car. The
work of raising the sleeping: coach
Hermes proceeded slowly, and it was
not until 1 o'clock that it was floated
upon a transport. While being raised
the trucks gave way and fell with a
crash into the river. The car was tow
ed down the river and deposited on the
banks, where it was destroyed by fire.
The last coach of the ill-fated train,
the Niobe, was gotten out of the water
at 5 o'clock and also burned. The ex
press car is 300 yards below. No at
tempt will be made to raise it until to
morrow morning. All day a large force
of men has been at work on the track.
The northbound track was moved over
five feet east, a firm bed, composed of
sand, gravel and broken stones, having
been prepared for it. A track has also
been planned for southbound trains.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the wreck
ing company made another search for
the bodies of the engineer and fireman
and Supt. Van Etten's clerk, Mr. Mc-
Kay. When the diver came up, after
twenty-five minutes, he said: "I could
find no trace of any of the missing
men, and I don't believe they are near
the engine. I should say that, if they
did not jump, and it looks as if they
did not have time, the rush of
water through the cab was so fierce
that it fairly sweet them out of it <««*
drowned them quickly. I would not
be surprised if they were half a mile
or a mile beyond the engine."
Thousands ef persons, most cf them
Women, visited the scene of the wreck
today, standing for hours in the
drenching rain. The crowd became so
large that it was necessary to rope in
all of the space from* which the tracks
had gone into the river.
A revised list of the dead and in
, jured is as follows:
None bf the injured are expected to
die. The bodies of McKay, Engineer
: Foyle and Fireman Tomkins have not
yet been recovered.
The coroner's jury will meet on Tues
day night to conduct an investigation.
In the meantime the railroad commis
sioners and officials of the New York
Central railway are also investigating
the cause of the disaster.
T. Parsons, who was thought to have
perished is at his home in Brooklyn.
He sustained some painful bruises, but
was not seriously hurt. The injured
from the wreck who were taken to the
Flower hospital in this city, are all do
ing well.

TWO MILLIONS OUT.
A Hew York Man Alleges He Has
Been Buncoed.
, ' NEW YORK, Oct. 25.— According to
a summons and complaint filed in the
county clerk's office today, Charles
Austin Bates claims he has been de
-1 frauded of $2,000,000 worth of stock of
the General Electric company, of Chi
j cago, and he names the members of
1 the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. as de
| fendants in the suit to recover it, the
i other defendants being Lucius Clark,
A. G. Wheeler and Perry A. Hull, of
Chicago. Bates, in his complaint, al
; leges that in November, 1895, he pur
chased 20,000 shares of the stock of the
property, which he says was not then
. |in process of construction, but its
stock, he declares, was and is very
valuable. Soon after purchasing the
stock, Bates says. Defendant Clark,
who then held a considerable amount
j of stock in the company, came to him
and represented to him (Bates)
\ that, in order to successfully
carry out the objects for which
the corporation was created and to se
cure the passage of ordinances allow
ing the use of certain streets in Chi
cago, it was necessary to have a con
trolling interest in the stock of the
J company placed temporarily in the
! hands of one person. Bates says he
turned over to Clark his 20,000 shares,
; en Clark's promise to return them as
I soon as the objects he represented were
' accomplished, but that he had repeat
j edly tried in vain to get Clark to re
| turn the stock. Bates says that he
then discovered that Clark transferred
the stock to Defendant Hull, that the
latter transferred it to a man named
j Stinson, who, in turn, transferred it
either to J. P. Morgan or to J. Pier
pont Morgan & Co., who, Bates says.
now have it in their possession. All the
transfers, Bates declares, were pre
tended and made without considera
tion, and he brings suit to recover the
stock and asks the court for an in
junction restraining the defendants
from disposing of the stock, as he de
clares there is danger of their selling
the stock to parties who may think
they obtained the stock in a bona fide
way.
Justice Truax, in the supreme court
today, granted an order for the publi
cation of the summons and complaint
on Defendant Hull, who lives in Chi
cago, the other defendants having been
served here.
PLATT CONFIDENT.
Boss Tells Why He Thinks Tracy
Will Win,
NEW YORK, Oct. 25. — Senator
I Piatt has given out a statement
jin which he say>:: "General Tracy
| has won the election- There are three
j Democratic candidates in the field—
| among whom the Democratic vote will
Ibe divided. The Democrats have never
I had a majority in the territory now
j consolidated since the enactment of
j the present election law. They used
: to have majorities, any kind of ma
i jority that suited their taste and con
j venience. They had absolute control
of the electoral machinery at every
j poll. Whatever their vote may be, it
iis going to be divided between Van
j Wyck, George, Low and Gleason. Van
; Wyck will probably get the most of
j it. George will get a huge portion
| of it and Low will get a substantial
J remainder. Low is the candidate of
| four Democratic organizations, the
I ship-Democracy, the garoo-Democracy,
j the Purroy-Democracy and the Steck-
I ter-Pemocracy. More and more as the
I canvass has proceeded he has become
I identified with the public with the
] Democratic party." He is the embodi-
I ment of the holier-than-thou idea of
I the Cleveland party. He is a revival of
j Clevelandism. He has the support of
all that noisy and insolent crowd that
grovels at the feet of Cleveland. He
j has been brought forward as the ex
| pression of their notions and their
hopes, and that which makes his suc
cess impossible is the fact, now so
clearly presented in the minds of the
community, that through Low the
Cleveland clique are endeavoring to
recover their lost prestige for use in
1900. The Republican vote, on the
other hand, is consolidated upon a
single candidate."

BOGUS WARRANTS TO A TOTAL OP
NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS
CASHED.
AN OLD CHIEF IS INVOLVED.
NOT MICH KNOWN AS TO THE DE
TAILS OF THE BIG
SWINDLE.
INDER OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION.
The Matter Promises to Prove a
Bi» Sensation in the Indian
Territory.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.— Over $90,
--000 of alleged fraudulent warrants on
the United States treasury on the ac
count of the Creek Nation, Indian ter
ritory, have been discovered by govern
ment authorities. The alleged fraud
was perpetuated in connection with the
payment of the Creek Indian nation
debts and only the barest details have
reached here. Congress, by a recent
enactment, authorized the liquidation
of indebtedness of the Creeks amount
ing to $333,000 incurred by the Indians
for various purposes. The amount ap
propriated was to be paid out of the
United States treasury and deducted
from the large funds of that tribe now
in the treasury for their benefit. The
work of paying off was begun months
ago, but when the last warrants were
presented, it was found that the
amount paid, instead of being $333,000
as authorized, had reached $552,000.
Special Agent W. H. Zeverly, of Mis
souri, formerly confidential agent for
Secretary Francis, together -with Spe
cial Agent Ross, were immediately dis
patched to make an investigation of
the discrepancy. Mr. Zeverly left here
OcL 4. Since then the two have been
working on the case, and official ad
vices from them now show that over
$90,000 worth of the warrants were
fraudulent. Supplementing this is the
fact that one of those implicated made
a confession today. It was found that
many old warrants to which no con
sideration had ever attached, had been
renewed and paid under the process
of tribal approval, and that many new
warrants had been issued and paid in
the place of old ones, on which full pay
ment already had been made. The
matter promises to prove a great sen
sation in the territory.
The facts have been reported to the
department of justice and the case is
now in the hands of the United States
district attorney there for prosecution.
It is understood that Special Agent
Zeverly is now on the way to Wash
ington to lay the complete facts
brought out in his investigation before
the interior department authorities.
While not enough is known here as yet,
to indicate the responsible parties, it
is said an old chief of the Creeks and
an official In the employ of that tribe,
are among those involved in the affair.
ALASKAN TREATY.
The Senate "Will Take It Up Early
In December.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.— 1t is be
lieved here that, in view of the great
prominence Alaska has achieved, ow
ing to the recent gold discoveries and
the importance of definitely fixing the
boundary line between our territory
and that of the Dominion of Canada,
that the senate, when it assembles In
December, will take early action on
the treaty pending between Great
Britain and the United States for th«
survey and marking of the 141 st meri
dian. This treaty was sent to the sen
ate almost two years ago. The 141 st
meridian marks the eastern boundary
of Alaska down to within ten marine
leagues of the Southern coast, where
the line trends to the southeast, keep
ing that distance from the coast. Con
cerning the 141 st meridian there is, of
course, no controversy between the
United States and Great Britain, but
no basis of settlement of the south
eastern line has yet been reached by
the two countries. The original treaty
as sent to the senate, it is understood,
was amended or proposed to be
amended by Senator Stewart so as to
include these settlements of the dispute
relating to the southeastern line. If
such an amendment were insisted upon
by the senate, as appears not unlikely
will be the case, it is not at all certain
that Great Britain will at present
agree to the modification.
The work of adjusting the differences
between the two countries regarding
the southeastern line has not progress
ed for two years. In 1893 each govern
ment appointed a commissioner to sur
vey the territory through which this
line runs, and each made typographical
maps of the country which were sub
mitted to the respective governments
Dec. 31, 1895. These commissioners,
however, had no power to propose a
settlement as their work was confined
strictly to furnishing information upon
which subsequent negotiations could
proceed. As no range of mountains
run along the coast as was assumed
to be the case when the boundary line
between Russia and Canada was fixed
in terms, the alternative proposition
of a line ten marine leagues from the
coast must mark the limit of our ter
ritory- But in the determination many
intricate questions are involved;
whether the coast line shall be assum
ed to follow the sinuosities of the shore
or run from headland to headland; or
whether the line shall be considered to
run ten marine leagues from the outer
shore of the islands, which form a sort
of archipelago along the coast. The
government officials who have studied
the question are confident that our
title includes the islands and ten ma
rine leagues of territory from the coast
line with all its sinuosities.
SEAL. CONFERENCE ON.
Only Expert Witiiesnen Allowed to
He Present.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25— The inter
national seal conference met again at
the state department today with all
the members present. The proceedings
are secret in the sense that no one but
delegates are allowed in the meeting
room, save certain persons who are
called upon to give expert testimony as
to the conditions of seal life and the
state of the market for skins. It is
expected that the conference will be
In session for some time.
Meantime Prof. D'Arcy Thompson,
the chief British expert and one of
the delegates selected by Great Britain
to represent it at the special confer
ence between representatives of the
United States, Canada and Great
Britain, has arrived in Washington.
Yesterday he called upon ex-Secretary
Fester in company with Mr. Adams,
5
in charge of the British embassy, and
later had an important conference with
Mr. Jordan, one of the American seal
experts. Mr. Macoun, the Canadian
minister of marine, who is to be Prof.
Thompson's colleague in the confer
ence, has not yet reached Washington,
and until he comes, it will not be pos
sible to make any arrangements for
this special conference.
HIGH DAM PROJECT AGAIN.
It Will Be Considered by Author
ities at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Represen
tative F C. Stevens, of St. Paul, ar
rived in Washington last evening. He
has a large budget of department
matters to look after. This morning he
called on the new supervising archi
tect, J. Knox Taylor, formerly of St.
Paul. Mr. Taylor's appointment is
charged to Pennsylvania, for reason
that he was appointed to his former
position from that state. Mr. Stevens
said:
"I shall be here a few days. I hav-j
business at pension office, department
of Justice, war and post office depart
ment. I went to see Pension Commis
sioner Evans first thing this morning,
but find that he is out in Ohio for the
next ten days."
Congressman Fletcher, of Minneapo
lis, is also in town. He called on Gen.
Wilson and Col. McKenzie this morn
ing to talk over the lock and dam im
provements, and consider what steps
to take next. Mr. Fletcher showed a
clear bill to the title of lands in Ram
sey county which have so long been
in controversy. There is now some
talk of changing the plans, and decid
ing on what is known as the '"High
dam" project. If this can be done
without additional legislation, and if
the engineer's department finds it feas
ible, the change may be made.
