A GRAVE CHARGE.

Arrost of Secretary Gibson, of tha Whisky Trust.

ACCUSED 01 A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY,

It Is Alleged That llo Tried tu Mveroi»ent Ontciul to Mow I'p m-tillery Not ComiccttMl with the Trust.

IIK!.I» IN 110x113 or S-20.000. Cinrvuo, Feb. !'.—ticorgeJ. (Jibson, secretary of the great whisky trust, has been arrested by United States otlicials on the charge »f being a participant in a gigantic conspiracy involving the detraction of life and a vast amount of property. The conspiracy involved the destruction of the Khufvldt distillery and several others which are outside of the trust and which have given the whisky combine a great deal of trouble. The arrest was made at the t»rand Pacific Hotel ^shortly after r» o'clock a. in., by Inspector Stuart, of the

.$1

.rfi

Post-Ottiee Department, Deputy United States Marshal Oilman and Treasury Agent ]{rooks, of New York. (Jib* son. who lives in Peoria, had just arrived in the city and was accompanied by his wife and daughter. He was taken into custody as he alighted from a carriage at the door of the hotel, and was at once hustled across the street into the (Jovernment. building, where he was locked up in the United States Marshal's otlice. (.Jibson was carrying a small sach at the time of the arrest, and this was captured by Inspector Stuart. In the sacbel were found articles which couclnsivoly proved the intentions of the conspirators. The contents of the sachel were locked up in the safe in the in spector's otlice.

The Treasury Department at Washington was informed of the conspiracy some time ago. and its otliccrs were set to work to thwart it and arrest the participants. Special Agent Htooks and Agent Suminerville. of the Internal Revenue IVpaitmcnt.. were sent here from New York some days ago, and Inspector Stuart, although his department was not concerned in the conspiracy, received special instructions from Washington to co-operate with th Kustern otlicials. The-ease was worked up with great, secrecy and. after the arrest of the secretary, not a particle of information could be obtained as to tue nature of the conspiracy except that its consummation involved wholesale destruction'of.life and property.

The specific charge against Gibson is that he tried to bribe an employe of tin Government, named De War to blow up Shufehit's distillery. All the arrangements had been completed for the fiendish work when De War informed the Government otlicials of the plan and prevented the -consummation of the conspiracy. Solicitor Hart has in his possession the dynamite machine with which the destruction was to be effected and papers closing the contract for the diabolical limpness. The whole conspiracy was worked op through Revenue Inspector T. S. DeWar, who was told guardedly some months ago that Shufeldt's distillery was in the way of the trust and that there was "big money" for the man who succeeded in getting the concern out. of the wav. Gibson was brought before Commissioner Hoyne shortly alter 1" o'clock anil waived examination, lie was held to the Federal giand jury in $00,000 bonds. It is probable that the prcsecution of the conspirators will be turned over to the State courts, as the conspiracy involved the crime of ar&on and murder as well as violations of the

United States laws. Inspector Stuart of the Post-otlice Department, one of the otliccrs who made the arrest, said to a reporter "I am not at liberty to give the facts in the case. but there is nothing that your imagination can conceive of more diabolical ami horrible than the intentions of the conspirators. It was nipped iust in time, too, for the first blow was to have been struck here in Chicago. Then it would have been repeated at other points.

Solicitor Hart told th porter as follows: Some months u^'o the Wa-hlnetoa department were is*tfre«l that tiling were not'just straight, from the fact thai the trust people tried their N-st, to have a certain mnn appointed inspector of the-department for this district. We set \vawh. h«"on T. S. IX'War was cnmmuaiealeil with, and this man Gibson opened up a correspondence with him. W have lite enrrcspomh uv. «. ibsov felt, his man cautiously, teliinj: him at it that StaufeldtV concern was in the u-iy aud that they were trying to net it out of thr vav. He got little holder soon ami finally, led on by DeWar, who was nil the time in consultation with the department, he made a straight proposl tion. lie niTored PeWar' *hU*.*. and then Increased the offer to to blow up the concern. Ihsoivst aled that he had adynamite machine thai could be located just outaide of one of the' larjre tanks, -o that a few moments alter it was placed it would explode. There would be plenty of time.

War, for him to Ket away and that he was the only man who could place it, b«c,*»u.-e of the fact that as a (jovernment oith-er he had access to all parts of the building, "The result of the success of the conspiracy would have been that ti machine would havo exploded between two of I ho immense tanks, making a terrible drMiuction. and leaving a Ma of alcohol on lire." ib*on lied when he told DeWar ihat the machine would not.po otT until he had time to trot out. for it would have exploded at- once, killing the man who placed it Hie very Instant, before he could pos-ibly 'net away, only evidence pie

distillery on the NorthvSfih\ Ivirly one morning in the fall ot isss two dynamite bombs were thrown npontho roof of the distillery, iui'1.one of them exploded and tore a great hole in the roof. Had the other bemib exploded the destruction of the distillery would have been c«m}K'te, as directly under it was a room.-.'.containing many thousands of barrels of inflammable spirits. The explosion produced a great sensation at the time, but no clue to the guilty parties was ever obtained. It was l'reelv charged at the time, however, that the whisky trust "was responsible for the crime. It will be remembered that ''Little Kun/.e" and Dan Conghlin. of theOronin fame, were implicated in this case. l\ oiu.\ 111.. Feb. 12.—tireat surprise was caused here by the news of the arrest in Chicago of George S. Gibson, 'rominent distillers here are non-eom-mital and have but. little to say on the subject. The only expression that can be gained from any of those seen is that they consider the entire business a farce and say it is being instigated by the Shuteldts. It is rumored here that United States detectives who were here one week ago gained an entrance to the trust headquarters and searched them carefully. In the basement they found a dynamite machine and explosive chemicals sutlieient to destroy all the distilleries in the world. It is known otlicers were here, but the story about the searching of the headquarters can not be traced to any reliable source. Several prominent whisky men will go to Chicago to aid

Gibson. Gibson came here fifteen years ago from Cleveland. O.. where he had been employed in a railroad otliee. lie married a daughter of 10. Seovillc. of Cleveland. a retired iron-mill man. Gibson was first employed as book-keeper in the Monarch distillery, and in l*7t, when the Western Kxport Association was formed, he was electcd secretary. Since tben he has continually held the otliee, although the whisky trust has adopted different names. He drew yearly salary of ,000 in the trust and was placed in the way of making several thousand more each year. He was poor wheuhe came here but is now rated at ir»c.!00 and owns a beautiful residence cm Prospect kiii.

Nkw Vohk, Keb. 1*^ a. in.— General Sherman is sinking rapidly and it is not expected he can live through the night. At 1:K Miss Sherman sent a telegram to Senator John Sherman as follows: "Papa is much worse. You had better come at once/' Just as Senator Sherman arrived at the house liev. Matthew A. Taylor, of the Messed Sacrament Church, who had beeu called about Midnight, left. He said the General could not live until morning.

All day the battle between death and General Sherman waged with varying fortune. The bedside of the aged sufferer was surrounded by the members of his family and loving friends and all that medical science could suggest to ward off the encroachmenjs of the insidious disease which had attacked his fae.e was done.. The chances were against him. It was his second case of ervsipclas and much more severe than the lirst one. His many years—he celebrated hisTtst Sun day last- had weakened his iron constitution, and it was certain he had little reserve force with which to battle against it. Hut his brother and his children remembered bow he came forth victorious from many .a forlorn hope before they refused to lose heart or to admit that his case was hopeless, and at noon, as if in answer to thejt* faith, he began to rally from his sinking spefl. ICach succeed ing hour brought encouraging news from the sick chamber, aud at it o'clock l")r. Green, who hail been at his bedside all the afternoon, said there was no immediate danger of death. Hut he held out. small hopes of his'recovery. Sen ator Sherman clung to the belief that be would gel well, but postponed his int n'.ed return to,Washington.

All -of Genera! Sherman's family with the exception of his son. Rev. E. Sherman, win) is studying in the Jesuit, institution in the Island of Jer sey and who has been notified by cable of his father's condition, watched 1 his bedside Tuesday night. Hi friend. Dr. and Lieutenant-Colonel Charles T. Alexander of the army was in constant attendance upon him. Shortiy after midnight it wa noticed that his condition had change for the worse and that, he was steadily growing weaker. His face aud neclwere badly inllamcd and any motion seemed to be quite painful. Hut. as a general thine, he did not, suftVr much. He lay in a state of e»ma and could be roused at long intervals to partake of medicine or nourishment. In his conscious moments he seemed to be aware of the danger of his situation. but he bore his pains and faced the menacing 'death with the same simple courage which hail always marked his strong character. He waitwithout trepidation for the dread visitor. The only nourishment which mid be given him was whisky and milk, and but small quantities of these.

The bulletins were discouraging during the morning hours, hut about noon their tenor changed and the doctors began to report an improvement. Dr. Green took tin.' place of Dr. Alexander, who went home for rest, and from the time, of his arrival t-H he left at about

o'elocli tin' tieiiei'id seemeil on the mend. Aiuonir the callers last nijrlit were, liev, ami Mrs. l)e Witt Tiilma^e. They drove tip ill a closed carriage at t' o'clock. Tliev reappeared a^'ain ten minutes later, and a reporterhad a rhal with Dr. Talinatri' before lie entered his earristjre. lie was certainly iinjiresseil ritli the feeling that General Sherman nd was not, far distant. At 11:1" o'clock Dr. Alexander handed out the follow ii)ir bullci ill: "'Flic- result, ot tie: citiisult ut km of Dr AlexilDiler iintl ,lan' \vitshows ttint there lias tiei-ii no liiipiovi'ineiu.

Mr. OTjrien expresses tbe. hope that the iuevitablc eonllict forced upon the country may be conducted without personal bitterness and degrading personality, so that when the unh.appy passions of tin- hour have exhausted themselves all may ajrain 'co-operate in the Nation's cause,

Mr. Dillon, in a short, statement., admits thai he had been largely influenced to mediate by the. action of Mr Parnell's most prominent, opponents! Mr. rarnell. he says, had been assailed with shocking personal vindietiwness ami brutality in utter discard of what was 1 u*' him in return for his splendid services. This personal element had in many minds hopelessly obscured the great public issue-, and driven thousands in Ireland and America into Faruell's camp who otherwise would have oj»posed his continued leadership. Mr. Dillon continues:

I have rrsonted tbe whole of Mr. Parnell's proceedings. I wa'i utterly,-unable to, accept his leadership after tbe fjunous manifcsio. yet had 1 beeu free .from the sentence ot. imptinonmeat I should have found it «liitb u!t. uot impossible. to throw myself heartily into a conducted In a method utterly abhorrent to me.
