Will nhortly escape to Japanese territory. It is said that the taotal Is. not the only Chinese offlcial implicated In furnishing important war news to Jaan. lonrlnpr Troop Into Corvn. LONDON. Oct 2. Th Times publishes letters from Yokohama bearing date of Aug. 24, stating that Japan is preparing to increase her army in Corea to 10O.COO men. The intentions of the government, as proclaimed by the native press, are to crush the Chinese army in Corea and march on Peking, where a claim for a large indemnity will be marie and the cession of the island of Formosa demanded. A letter dated Sept. 1 nays that no news of any kind has been received except that a naval battle has been fought somewhere la the gulf of Pe Chl-LL It is added that vessels on both sides were damaged. The dispatch of troops continue.-, but their destination Is unknown, except that 100,000 mer. have left to tight the Chinese somewhere. The Japanese believe that they will be in a josition to dictate terms to China before the end of the year, and also that they will possess the hoarded millions at Mukden beloncring to the Chinese imperial family. Japan is calling out the second reserve to supplement the denuded garrisons. The call has not been responded to with enthusiasm. Many of the men were never before called out. They are ignorant and dull and are angry because of having to leave their occupations and families. They are also afraid that they will ba called into active service. The people therefore are less enthusiastic about the war. Jnpnneie Crulnern Xfar Che-Foo. LONDON. Oct. 1. A Chee-Foo dispatch to the Pall Hall Gazette says that Japanese cruisers have been sighted off that port. It is added that their operations are unknown, but, coupled with the fact that it haa already been reported that the Japanese have effected a landing to the northward of Che-Foo, these movements are recarded as significant and as tending to confirm the ptory of the Japanese landing. The Itrltish squadron in northern Chinese waters Is cruising in the Gulf of Pe-Cht-Li. The docks at Nagasaki., Japan, are full of cruisers, war ships And other vessels undergoing" repairs. It 13 rumored that the British, steamer Irene, which arrived fit Tien-Tsin on Sept. 25 from Shanghai, having on board a number of Maxim rapid fire guns and a quantity of ammunition for the Chinese, has infringed the neutrality laws. The representatives of the British government are understood to be taking action in the matter. Foreigner In Peril. SHANGHAI, Oct. 1. Dispatches received here from Tien-Tsln say that private advices have reached the latter city from Pekln warning all foreigners from proceeding to the capital. The road and waterway from Tung-Chow to Pekin are alive with soldiers wno are hostile to all Europeans. Several British residents of Pekln have been assaulted. Including Mr. Tours, interpreter of the British legation. Dr. Dudgeon and others who were journeying south. SHADOWING WAR SHIPS.
Quenlionulile Tactics of llrltlahera Tliut May Cuue Them Trouble. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. The reports that th'i Japanese cruisers are hovering off CheFoo, and that Japanese troops are being landed, "confirms the prediction of the Japanese authorities here, when the second Japanese army embarked, that the invasion of China and the marc h on Pekln would bejrin soon. In diplomatic circles here It Is pointed out that the British admiral's ccurse in shadowing the Japanese ships as they approach the Chinese coast 13 in line with a policy of the British navy which has caused mh irritation. A recent case Is cited in which the British ships watched the Russian fleet until the Russian commander determined upon a ruse. He had two of his ships leave hastily from the harbor at Yokohama.' A British ship was soon in pursuit. The Russians made a circuit outside and returned to the harbor with the British ship close behind. As the boats came In the Russian admiral gave orders to his fleet to clear the decks and prepare for action. His signals made it known that he would fire If the pursuing British vessel did not keep away from the Russian boats. The British ship came to a, sudden halt, and the threatened broadside was averted. The British admiral was indignant at the belllgerant action of the Russians, and the British government demanded an explanation. Tne Russian admiral, in reply, said that the movement of his ships had been so continually shadowed that he had construed it to amoun: to a belligerant move. The incident went no further, although it put a stop to t'le shadowing of Russian ships. During the recent revolution in Brazil, when the revolutionary Admiral Da Gama h.ul a . fleet outside Rio de Janeiro, the British vessels were again accused of shadowing Da Gama's movements and allowing their information to get to the Pelxoto government. The present action of Admiral Freemantle. the British commander of the Asiatic squadron, in having British ships hover in the rear of the Japanese fleet when secret moves are made is the latest exhibition of this policy, and it is said here to have aroused such feel'nsr that an official protest is regarded as possible The Chilian legation here discredits the reports that China has bought the Chilian navy. The reports are regarded as preposterous, as Chill fs proud cf her moiern navy, and. with the great stretch of coast. It is regarded as a most essential of her defense. XEKIIS OF WAR VESSELS. Uulck-Flrlntr Gun itntl n Thick Belt of Armor eee-nr-. LONDON. Oct. l.-Sir Edward Reed, the naval constructor, in an Interview to-day regarding the battle fought off the Yalu river, recounted the naval views which Emperor William of Germany had expressed to him in audiences which were accorded Sir Edward Reed at the beginning of the present year. Referring to those conversations. Sir Edward said that the recent battle strikingly demonstrated the soundness of the German Emperor's views. The latter, while fully recognizing the value of battle ships with Ftout armor along the belt and at the stem and stern, dwelt upon the necessity of providing the utmost possible amount and scope of gun fire. The Emperor, on presenting Sir Edward Reed with his portrait as a souvenir, wrote upon It: "In the modern battle ship the distribution of weight necessitates a compromise between armor and artillery. Give her a full, all-round belt, and after that you must always clecide in favor of artillery." Sir Edward Reed added that in his opinion the most Important point brought out In the battle off the Yalu river was the necessity of largely increasing the number of bow and stern quick lire gun3 on JJrltIsh war ships. .

In the midst of the big blow the mainmast was carried away at the hounds. The crew was set to work at once, and while the men were bravely battling to clear away the wreckage a mountainous wave washed the deck, and when the ship righted herself Second Otlk-er O'Neill and Selman Hansen were gone.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 1. .here Is a sensation on the south division of the Moron rallro cl over the discharge of baggagemaster Samuel Huncilman and fireman William J. Glenn on account of what Is alleged to be a practical joke. A few weeks ago Father M. 11. Bogemann. of the Catholic Church of this city, was on the train on which the men were employed. A placard was pinned on the satchel of Father Bogemann. upon which the letters A. P. A. were written. The priest took tne matter as an insult, reported the facts to headquarters, and the result was that both men have been discharged for ungentlemanly conduct. .Huncilman claims it 13 only a ruse to get rid of him because of his connection with the A. P. A. It is alleged that the fireman made a full confession of the facts that led to the discharges. Fontanet Wreckers Confess. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind.. Oct, 1. The men under arrest accused of wrecking the NewYork express on the Big Four at Fontanet the night of July 12, causing the death of engineer Moehrman and fireman Fleck, are confessing in rapid succession to their respective parts in the crime. Roberts was the first to confess, and by making use of him Miller was trapped into making a confession. Rogle McDonald, who was arrested Saturday, fell into line, and this morning Sourwlne broke down. At first ha strenuously denied .that he had been present. Then he was confronted with the three men who had confessed. Yet he held cut and declared that he did not believe they had. but when they told him that conviction was sure and that he would stand a better show for mercy by pleading guilty he admitted that he was in the conspiracy. Tulley and Eppert are the other two df the six men under arrest. The stories of the accused all agree, except here and there where one tries to evade the most serious responsibility. Roberts said that after he got the switch key from Miller, who was a discharged switchman, he srave it to Sourwine. who unlocked the switch and threw it. Sourwlne denies this and says Roberts himself threw the switch. Enterprise at Xew Cnstle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW CASTLE, Ind., Oct. 1.

Williamson as foreman until the expiration of the six months' sentence, which occurred on Saturday. The compositors insisted that Williamson should remain in charce of the composing room, and because the Journal company insisted that Keller should take charge to-day they walked out. Oflice men. editors and reporters are at work at the cases to-night. Govenor CItnse Will Xot He Tried. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO. Ind., Oct. 1. It Is quite probable that further prosecutions in the Greentown Bank cases will not be pushed, notwithstanding the declarations of Prosecutor Wolf. The failure to convict President John W. Paris at the second trial leads to the impression that he cannot be convicted in any court. This county has already been at an expense of over $2, (XX), and the taxpayers generally are against an additional outlay. It is regarded as a foregone conclusion that the indictment against ex-Gov. Chase will be dismissed. It is said his Indictment was an excuseless blunder, as he was in no way responsibly connected with the wrecked bank. To Be Carved ly Doctors.

HELD UP AND 110BBED SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN STOPPED BY THREE DESPERADOES. WelI-Fnrro Express Car Looted One of the Robbers Wounded and Captured After a Long: Chnsc. . PHOENIX, A. T.. Oct. 1. An eastbound train on the Southern Pacific railway was "held up" by three men and a boy near Maricopa at 12:13 o'clock this morning and rohbed of an unknown amount of money, variously estimated at from $1G0 to $20,000. One of the robbers was wounded and captured after a long chase. One of the robbers boarded the train at Maricopa and the other man and the boy were on the ground when the train stopped. The robber on the train captured the head brakeman and compelled him to tu;n on the air brakes and stop the train. The other bandit covered the engineer, who, with the fireman, was compelled to go hack to the express car and Induce the messen--ger to open the safe. The boy wras then . pushed into the car. While he was searching for express treasures the two bandits guarded each side of the train. When the boy came from the car the trainmen who Tvere under the bandits' guns were compelled to march with the robbers' a short distance Into the bushes. There the robbers released their prisoners, and, mounting horses, rode away. The amount which the Wells-Fargo messenger reports as having been stolen Is $160, but there Is a rumor that the robbers got away with $20,000 in gold. Their trail was struck early this morning by Sheriffs Drals, of Pinal, and Murphy, of Maricopa, accompanied by Deputies WIdemer and Prothero. After crossing Gila river seven miles east of Phoenix the posse, led by Sheriff Murphy, soon came- upon a camp which the robbers had hastily abandoned. , There they found three 'Winchesters and. three horses. Not long after this they overhauled one of the bandits, whom they Called upon to throw up his hands. Instead he turned upon the officers and flred, but a charge of buckshot from the sheriff's gun brought him to the ground. The prisoner, whose name is Frank Armour, was brought here, and It is believed he will recover. On Armour's person was found one of the watches taken from a street car man who was held up here a week ago. Tha robbers are believed to be members of a gang from Tonto basin, and it la suspected that they are the men who held up a stage near the Congress mine on Sept. 13. The penalty for robbing trains in Arizona Is death. - ' Another account of the robbery says: As the Overland was leaving Maricopa a brakeman discovered three men riding the blind baggage, and ordered them to get off. They refused, and before the brakeman knew what was going on he was looking down the barrel of three six shooters. He ceased arguing at once. The engineer and fireman heard a shot, and came to the conclusion that something was wrong, and Holliday, the engineer, began slowing up. About this time a voice came from the window saying: "Hands up, you d .' When the men in the cab turned about they saw a man, a giant in stature, his face masked. He covered Holliday with his Winchester, who at the time of interruption was busy eating his lunch. The train proceeded to about a mile east of Maricopa, where it came to a standstill, the robbers so ordering. Two men emerged from a clump of bushes at the side of the road and joined the robbers, who, by this time, seemed to be everywhere at once. Conductor Martin alighted to ascertain the cause of the stoppage and immediately two bullets whistled uncomfortably near his head, and he heard the words, "Get back on the train, or we will fill you full of lead." Martin obeyed the order with alacritv. Two of the robbers boarded the engine and the men who had covered the engineer with a rifle all the way from Maricopa disappeared for a time. The bandits on the engine held a six-shooter in each hand and one of them was unmasked. They ordered Holliday and Smythe off the engine, and when they had all alighted told Smythe to fetch the coal pick. They "covered him" while he was getting it. and when he again joined them they ordered him to knock at the door of the express car, which the messenger, George Mitchell, had closed and locked upon hearing the noise outside. Smythe struck the door and told the me3enger not to shoot, as it was the engineer. Holliday explained as best he could the situation, and the messenger threw open the door. The robbers entered the car and took everything of value in sight. -Finding the safe locked, they demanded the keys of the messenger. He explained that the big- Iron box could not be opened only at the principal stations along the road and that he could do nothing for them. The robbers took Mitchell's watch and then left the car, one of them carrying a gunnysack in which the valuables had been placed. They hurried to the mesquite bushes, where their horses were fastened, and a little later departed across the country. It Is now believed they did not get away with more than $lf3 in cash and the messenger's watch. Alleged Robber on Trial. NASHVILLE. Tenn.. Oct. 1. The cele brated Adams Express robbery case.

FIGHTING ON PAPER
F1TZSIMMOXS SCORES COR RETT, AXD THE CHAMPION REPLIES. Jim Will Xot Fight Hob Until the ExAuHtrallnn Whips O'Donnell War of Words. NEW YORK, Oct. 1. The following letter was sent to champion Corbett to-night: "According to all customs and recognized rules of the prize ring I believe I am entitled to challenge you for the world's heavy-weight championship. I hereby do so in the most business-like manner possible by posting JlO.ouO as a forfeit for you to cover. This money will be allowed to remain up for thirty days, and at the end of that period if you fail to cover it I believe that I am entitled to the championship without further argument. I have consulted ail the best sporting authorities in America on this point, and they all agree that you are obliged to fight me or lose the championship by detault. It is not a question of whether I am a middle weight or welter weight. As long as there is a club that stands ready to offer a $25,000 purse, and 1 am willing to comply with all the recognized rules, I am entitled to fight you. In case I become the champion. I hope you will not lower the $10,000 stake money you now say you will bet on O'Donnell. If we are matched. I, however, pray that you will not lose the championship by default, but will go Into the ring and defend it like a man. as your predecessor, John 1. Sullivan, did,' who threw up his theatrical engagements to fight you. I certainly shall not allow any of my theatrical engagements to interfere with my defense of the honored title, if it comes to me. Yours truly, ROBERT FITZSIMMONS, "Champion Middle-weight of the World." The following letter, addressed to "Robert Fitzsimmons, Esq.," is self-explanatory: "In reply to your communication of today, I desire to state that I am the champion heavy weight of the world. I won that title, not by defeating middle weights, but by battling with every heavy weight that stood between myself and John L. Sullivan. I dispute your right to claim a battle with me at the present time, because, while you are undoubtedly the best middle weight in the world, your record gives you no right to a place in my class. I propose to enter the prize ring onca more and then retire, whether I win or lose. I -"want my next contest to be with the best man In the world. I do not consider you that man, and I do not propose to meet you, and then, after having defeated you, be told by your friends that you are only a middle, weight after all. I care nothing for the past history of the ring or its obsolete rules. My future is in my own hands and I do not propose to be told by you or any other man living what I am to do. I consider Steve O'Donnell a better man than you are, and he will prove it when he meets you. If you accept his challenge and defeat him, then you will not have to worry much about securing a contest with me. You say that O'Donnell Is a fourth-rater and that you are sincere in your desire to become champion of the world. Then you should remove the only obstacle that stands between you and me, and especially when he is so easy. I am prepared to post $3,000 with any reputable man or newspaper In this country, to be paid to you in case I refuse to fight you after jrou have defeated O'Donnell. Mr. Brady has posted $1,000 as an evidence of O'Donnell's good faith. You do not need to wait thirty days for me to pay any attention to you, for I do not propose to do so. and. if you are sincere, then you had better arrange a match with O'Donnell at once, for the sooner you do the sooner you will open up the chance you seem to desire so much a meeting with me. "JAMES J. CORBETT." FOCGHT TO A DRAW. One of the Liveliest Pugilistic "SHUa" of the Sencon. NEW YORK, Oct. 1. Captain Glorl, Robert Fitzsimmons, Arthur Lumley and Charles White met William Brady, James J. Corbett's manager, to-day, at noon. Captain Glori posted a $1,000 forfeit for Fitzsimmons to fight Corbett to a finish for the world's championship. Brady posted another $1,000 and entered a counter challenge to Fitzsimmons on behalf of Steve O'Donnell, the Australian fighter traveling with Corbett. "Will you cover Fitzsimmons's money?" Brady was asked after a long and heated argument. . i "No." he shouted. "Will you cover O'Donnell's money?" Fitzsimmons was asked, and he shouted "No" so loud that everybody in the build ing heard him. "If you (Fitzsimmons) get the champion ship by default, will you stand ready to defend it against all comers?" I will," he replied, "meet any man in the world, except Peter Jackson, and he is objectionable to 'me on the ground of color." Brady wanted to know what right Fitz simmons had to sign with the Olympic Club, of New Orlenas, to fight for a $25,000 purse, and the reply he got was: "I am an American citizen, and I have a right to sign anywhere." "What a nice man you are to go around the country saying that you would plant your glove on Corbett s lace," demanded the angry Brady. I never said such an unsrentlemanlv thing. I deny it," exclaimed Fitzsimmons. Brady, who was getting more and more excited, shouted to Arthur Lumley: "Corbett's the greatest fighter in the world, and no man can say ne is a cur." "Yes, he is." said Lumley. cool as an Icicle. "You can't prove It." yelled Brady at the top of his Fhrill voice.

It defines the attitude of the club regarding Fitzsimmons's right to challenge the champion. The full text of the tele gram follows: "The subterfuge you are resorting to In causing O Donnell to challenge Fitzsim mons is not worthy of consideration. It was In the Olympic Club that the heavyviimiuiidaii o.-5 mat, itiiu won. It was in the Olympic Club that both vou and Fitzsimmons won your greatest honors, and it is now within the province and the duty of the Olympic Club to declare Robert Fitzsimmons the champion heavv weight of the world, should you nersist in refusing to accept his challenge, which is backed up by a side bet of $k,U.K). As far as tne uiympic Club is concerned it Is immaterial to us with whom the side bet is placed. We don't want toehold it. We offer a purse of $.01)0, the winner to take all.

A SINGULAR TRAGEDY DETAILS OF THE DEATH OF A IIYPOTIZED HUNGARIAN" tilltt. Herr Von Klilderlen-Wnehler, Once u Favorite of the German Emperor lu Prison for Fighting a Duel. VIENNA, Oct.l. Keen Interest is manifested throughout Europe In the strange fate of Ella Von Salamon, who died in a hypnotic or clairvoyant trance near this city last week, mention of which was made J in the pres3 dispatches at the time.

He said: "Having plunged them into hypnotic sleep, he caused them to forget their mother tongue at his command. They were unable to count more than three or" raise up a teaspoon from the table. He put them back into the fifth year of their lives, from the fifth to the eighth, twelfth, etc He spelled, wrote and read with them as with children, and they conducted themselves after the manner of children of the ages suggested. Neukomm pressed a cold hairpin on my daughter's left hand and produced a large burn. It Is remarkable that these hypnotic experiments were productive of the best effects on the health of the ladies. "Later Neukomm passed into another sphere of hypnosis, and offered proofs of the intellectual and other gifts of the human soulhow, for 'nstance, it could he separated from the body for any length of time desired. The whereabouts of many lost articles were correctly Indicated. For instance, Countess Elsa Forgach, who was present at one experiment, had lost. a clasp a short time before. My daughter passed her hand over her forehead, and then spoke as follows: 'Let Elsa go and look for it: I will send my soul to accompany her. The clasp became undone in the neighborhood of tue gates of the castle. It slid down and caught In a fold of her dress when $he ascended the steps. It fell to the ground and is still lying at the corner of the stair--case. The Countess looked according to these instructions and found it at the spot described. "The most exciting episode of all was the following: My daughter, while In a trance, suddenly uttered a cry. and then spoke as follows: 'It Is now a quarter to 8 o'clock. A thief has slipped into the dining room. He has Just placed himself before the chest in which the silver is kept, so that he cannot be seen thiough the window. He is putting things in his pockets, a sugar bowl, with a flower on the lid, a coffee pot, a salt cellar. He is gone into the drawing room. Now he is in ray room. He heard a noise. He Is creeping under the table. Now he is under the sofa.' Then she described his flight, of a pause he made before leaving the house, In order to examine the stolen objects, how he hid himself in the garden, returned and then burled the silver vessels in the garden. The entire company was greatly excited on hearing this narrative. We were not then in the castle, but at Mandok, and, without delay, we set out with Neukomm for Tuszir. The articles enumerated by my daughter were gone, and we found them In the place she described. "On a subsequent occasion we were desirous of learning the name of the thief, but my daughter replied that nothing must be done to render the man miserable. We promised . not to lodg-e information against him, but to out assurances the made the reply: "The soul trust3 not human promises, but does what it deems right." DESERTED BY THE EMPEROR. Herr Aon Itiduerlen-AVneliter Pan lulled for Fighting: u Duel. BERLIN, Oct. 1. Herr Von KidderlenWachter, Prussian minister to Hamburg, and Herr Potsdorf, editor of the Kladderadatsch, have been condemned to four months' imprisonment in a. fortress for fighting a duel. The duel between Herr Von Kidderlen-Wachter and Herr Potsdorf was fought with pistols, near Berlin, on April 18. Five shots were flred, and Herr Potsdorf was wounded in the arm. The cause of the encounter was an alleged libel upon Herr Von Kidderlen, then chief of the Press Department of the Foreign Office, which Herr Potsdorf allowed to be published In the Kladderadatsch, a comic paper, which early in the year became noA - A At . . . ionous ior us atiacKs upon certain em ployes of the government. The duel ruined the political prospects of Herr Von Kidder len, as his action in this matter was only Justiiied by a military clique on the ground that the attacks of the Kladderadatsch could not be endured by a man of honor. Emperor William, however, did not take this view of the case, although Von Kid derlen was for a long time one of his Majesty's close friends. FT 1 W A ft -a . ine tviauaeraaaiscn anegea. out never proved conclusively, that Herr Von Kidder len and Herr Von Hol3tein fostered the illfeeling between the Emperor and Prince Bismarck. Von Kidderlen especially is said to have used his position as chief of the Press Department of the Foreign Oihce to further his own ends, even to the extent of trying to bully Chancellor Von Caprlvl, and It was reported at the time that a person closely acquainted with the workings of the Foreign Office became so disgusted with Von Kidderlen s dictatorship that he divulged all he knew to the proprietors of the Kladderadatsch. But the sensation recolled upon the newspaper mentioned, for when Its editors were asked to furnish proof of their accusations, their informer. fearing to compromise himself, remained silent, and Herr Potsdorf was made to suf fer the consequences. Since the fall from power of Gen. Count Von Waldersee, there has been no such col lapse as the tumble of on Kidderlen from the Emperor's favor to the position In which he found himself after the duelfrowned upon by Tils imperial master and former friend, who, soon after the news of the encounter became public, allowed it to become known that the fallen favorite would have to suffer the fi'Jl penalty for breaking the laws. This was admitted to be a fact in April last, but the sentences were oaly announced to-day. The Kiilner Will Vlalt I'nrI In lOOO. PARIS, Oct. 1.

He came at Terre Haute last Saturday night. Of course, e mean Daniel W. Voorhees. the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash." Daniel is also United States Senator from the State of Indiana, and chairman of the committee on finance. We mention this latter fact for fear it may have been overlooked and forgotten, for the reason that he has had so little to do with linance. It Is supposed to be the duty of the committee on finance to make and to remake the tariff bills in the Senate and this la pre-eminently the function of the chairman. But few members of the finance" committee had less, practically, to do with the making of the tariff bill which bfcanie a law than did Senator Voorhoe3. He reported from the committee the Senate bill in its original form, and he "opened the debate" on the second day of April he missed the correct day by one and then he disappeared almost totally from the arena. It was well that he did. His was one of the most remarkable speeches ever delivered in the American Senate. It was mora like the rant of a communist or a Socialist than the deliberate utterance of a member of the greatest deliberative body in the world. It was red-hot with Invective: it was turgid with denunciation of property and wealth; it was lurid with prophesies of evil. One would have supposed from the speech that great enterprise in conducting larce operations was a crime; that success in business was an offense against the commonweal: that the thrift, industry and large intelligence and energy which results in accumulation of property were treason against the people and the State. It was a haransrue more worthy of a convocation of Anarchists than of the Senate chamber. Senator Voorhees honors the city of Terre Haute by making It hli place of abode" and his retreat from his public duties. Another well-known and well-remembered leader also is contained, in part, within the same ' city limits Mr. Eugene V. Debs, leader of the great sympathetic boycott' instituted by the American Railway Union last July. Mr. Debs is alleged and we suppose correctly to be a personal and political admirer of Senator Voorhees. He took in the lesson of his master in the "great speech" of April 2. The microbes of an archism tneji peem to nave enterea nis system, and there they Incubated in his hrp.in tissue until near the end of June. Then, they hatched and swarmed. He de clared war against "the communism of pelf," by which he meant property and the right of its owner to manage it. There resuited a great and disastrous outbreak. amounting to an insurrection. Millions of property and scores of lives were lost and destroyed. The seed was well sown the harvest was abundant. Voorhees and Debs "par nobile fratrum sowed to the wind, the country reaped the whirlwind. A Second Accident.
