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.

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 Hassenwinkle Q. B Hammel Leggett L. H. B Crippen O'Brien R. H. B Becksteb McDonald F.

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 of th -luce Star Pointer is disabled and cannot go for any record, Joe Patchen has been secured to try for the high-wheel sulkey record on Wednesday.

No decision was rendered, "but the feeling unanimously fa vored the local man. m 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. Statesmen Drifting- In. WASHINGTON.

THE SAINT PAUX, G1VOB3: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1897. (UfIETEEty ARE DEAD DISASTER ON THE NEW YORK CENTRAL AS SERIOUS AS REPORTED. NEARLY ALL IDENTIFIED. DODIES OF THE ENGINEER AND FIREMAN NOT AS YET RECOVERED. CAUSE SOMETHING OF A MYSTERY. 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. -Myers, of Tremont, N. V. ; A. G. McKay, Harlem, body still in the river; E. A. Green, of Chicago; William Schenckenbeeker, of 89 South Thirteenth street, Newark, N. J.

J. ; Wong Gim, residence un known; two unknown Chinamen. 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 laud leg, in hospital at Peekskill; Clarence | Morgan, of Aurora. N. V., broken shoulder, in hospital at Peekskill : W. S. Langford. Bayonne, N. J., body bruised; Charles Bu 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. m 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." m Merritt Estate Small. Special to the Globe. DULI'TH. Minn.. Oct. 25.— The schedule of assets and liabilities of A.

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.

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. Electricity for the P. O.
