A CRIMINAL WITH NERVci.

Ill" Hold Kscapo from OMlcnrs Only to lie Rearreuted. BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 19.—l.eroy Harris, alias William II. Clark, was being arraigned In the United States court Saturday afternoon on a charge of forging postal department money orders when he suddenly drew a revolver and cried out: "Hands up, gentlemenI" Two deputy United 8tates marshals. Inspector Lawrence Letherman, of the postal department, United States Commissioner Fairchild and United States District Attorney Mackey were in the room. The three first named were armed, but all complied with the order of the prisoner and live pairs of hands were pointed heavenward. Harris stood near the door, which had been locked to exclude reporters, and kept the officials covered with the revolver in his right while he unlocked the door with his left With a parting curse and a command to remain in their submissive attitudes Harris jumped into the conldor and locked the door, leaving his captors prisoners.

Deputy Marshal Watts, one of those whom Harris locked in tho room, threw up the window and fired five shots at the fleeing figure of Harris as he ran down Scncca street, but did not hit Harris or, luckily, .1113'one else. The door of the room was forced and the officials gave chase, but Harris escaped in the crowd on the streets.

The police department was-called upon for assistance and men were posted In all parts of the city, and descriptions of Harris were sent to nil surrounding towns. Capt. Stewart, inpector of tho post office department, kept a lookout at Niagara Falls, Ont., and on the arrival of Harris there captured hira without a struggle, and without waiting to secure extradition papers immediately boarded a train for Chicago. It is probable that this may cause international complications. [The crfznea for which Harris is wanted were committed In various parts of the country. On January 5 he went into a post ortlce in Connecticut and told the postmaster that be was a postal Inspector. After examining tho books he said he would Uko a quantity of blank money orders and advices. These were given to him and he departed. Soon he began his fine work with forged orders and advloes from which he seourcd 18,000. The offices at Decatur. Aurora, JoMet, Bloomlngton, Peoria and La Salle, in Illinois, Had paid out 011 forged orders 1200 each Fort Wayne, Ind., a like sum Valparaiso. Ind., 1100 and several other 0filces 8200 each.]

tho ground crushed it as

though it were an eggshell. Oliver Ledgerwood, a prominent young attorney of this city, was struck on the head, killing him instantly. Blood spurted from his wounds, completely saturating the clothing of the remaining occupants of the car, frightening them so badly that they attempted to jump out of the windows into the river, but they were restrained by the brakeman.

Finally a tug was secured and anchored directly beneath the dangling car and the survivors were rescued by means of a rope, each descending hand over hand. At the coroner's inquest It was discovered that the cable had been partially severed by an unknown person

A Terriblo Disaster Occurs in tho Caribbean Sea.

THE BIG TUG MILLARD FOUNDERS,

Confirmation of a Report Recrlvcrl Stun* Days Ago—All on Hnnrd, Mxty In Number, Undoubtedly Drovrtierl.

NO PAKTICULARS.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. l«. —A rumor was published here about a week ago telling of the loss of the steam-tug Millard, belonging to the Nicaragua Navigation company, off the Nlearaguan coast, and having aboard sixty men. The news of the terrible loss of life has been confirmed. It is true that not a bingle man aboard the vessel survived to tell the story. A reporter met an Knglish gentleman in the Si. Charles who is going to Nicaragua and who has Interests in that section. He has received word from Grey town confirming the rumor of the loss of the vessel.

The Millard was tug of twenty tons burden. In command of Capt Joa Thompson it was making its way with the sixty men from Qreytown to K1 ueficlds, where they were to do some ivork for the navigation company. Several weeks elapsed and no news was received thai the vessel had arrived. Rumors were circulated that it had gone down iu the Caribbean sea, and that all on the ship were lost in the squall which some time ago blew terrifically across tlint body of dangerous water. While the confirmation of the loss of the ship is made in the dispatch forwarded to London no particulars could be ascertained. It will ne.ver be known whether the vessel went down in a gale which visited the waters in which it plied shortly after its departure from Oreytown, or whether it sprung a leak which the men aboard could not stop. Capt. Anderson,the English gentleman who informed the reporter of the confirmation of the rumor, said he was acquainted with Capt. Thompson and has seen the vessel which he says is about twenty tons burden. Whether or not any of the wreckage has been found to tell the sad tale Capt Anderson could not tell.

PLOT TO~BURN THE FAIR.

The Illinois Uulldlnif at Jackson Park Tartly Destroyed. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Another of the too frequent world's fair fires broke out Sunday afternoon in the east wing of the Illinois state building. It was undoubtedly of Incendiary origin but prompt response on the part of the fire department prevented its doing damage to any great extent. The loss on the building is nominal, the structure having been sold to contractors for fl,fJS0. Joseph Hallak, a fireman, fell !S0 feet from the northwest corner of the building, but escaped with slight injuries.

No one could say definitely how the fire was started, but all of the officials of the fire department and the guara were satisfied that it was Incendiaiy, and that it was part of an organized plan to burn all the fair buildings. CoL Edmund Rice, commandant of the Columbian guard, said the incendiary business hud gone to far. "It isn't a haphazard tramp outbreak," I10 said, "as some 'people seem to think. These fires are all planned aud carried out systematically. If we get an alarm from one part ol the ground we are almost sure to have alarms from different places at a distance from each other. If was guessing, though, I should say it is some man or men with a malicious determination to destroy property just for the sake of destruction, just as these people throw bombs for the sake of Injuring somebody." It is tho belief of many that the peristyle, collonnade and Agricultural building were fired by malicious men.

SHE CLAIMS TO BE A KNIGHT TEMPLAR

iiattsaii' Fammw I'emalo l^ollticlan fo«'lure« She Wan luftiiitnd H» a 31ti«on, and PropoAvs to Organise f.odges of Mpions.

Toi'tKA, Ivan., Keb. IP.- Mrs. M. E. Lease announces that she is a ma*ou In tfoort standing, a Ktiipht Templar and a memlwr of Hugh de Payne commandery of Fort Scott. She wears in a conspicuous place a Rulght Templar charm with the keystone and other insignia of the order and declares she Is as much entitled to display It aa any male member of the order. She has talked with a number of- masons to whom she haB demonstrated that eho knows all the signs, grips and passwords of the blue lodge and chapter, and she claims that she came into posesslon of them in a legitimate manuer. Speaking of her membership in the order she said: "If masonry is good for men it Is better for women, as we aro more In need of proteo* tlon than men. Ouco by giving a sign of the order 1 was saved from personal violence, and from that moment I resolved to give to all deserving women the advantago of masonry that I enjoy. I have ottior plnns for my future aside from politics and tbe lecture Held. 1 propose to devote a large share of my'tlme to Inltatlng women Into the secrets of masonry. As I am thoroughly Informed in the details of masonic work to a high decree, it will not be necessary for me to obtalu the permission of auy masonic body before beginning work In this field, and if the men decline to recognise my converts to masonry we cau act Independently of them and time will force them to cooperate with us."

While Mrs. Lease admita. it is contrary to the laws of masons to initiate women into ita mysteries, she insists that she became a mason in a strict!}' legitimate way, but declines to give particulars of the manner in which she acquired the secrcU of the order. Mrs. Lease challenges any mason to test her knowledge of the secret work of the order. The masons, of course, deny her claims and say that she is not a mason, and that if she has obtained the secrets of the order it was by undue means.
