Two section! of train N'o. 73. a through freight, west bound, came together with such force that, the engine of the rear section and fourteen cars and the caboose attached to the fmglne of the forward section, which composed that train, were demolished. The traii was running in three sections, the first, section reaching this city on time. ' At tfie point of the accident, however, the engllie of the second section went "dead" and ji brakeman was sent back to flag the third section, which was follo-.vlng close behljid. The brakeman was a green man, and.; Instead of using the torpedo, attempted t flag the train with his lantern, but the 'morning being extremelj- foggy, the fignl was not seen and the thrd section erased full speed into the rear of the secend t section. In the rear caboose were Galt-eath, Rroslus and Gneley, who were deadheading home from Hart'ord City, whe?e they had been with tho construction fore. They were asleep and were buried undjr the wreckage, which at once caught fire 'mm the demolished engine of the third section. The engine of the second section was inot badly damaged. "When the engine struk the caboose it reared up turned a complete sommersault and landed on Its top In try? ditch. The fourteen cars of the train, several of them refrigerator cars, were pllec on top of the engine and cabooses, the Vreckage taking fire frcm the overturned engine. Th engine of the third sect' n was in charge of Frank Patterson, engineer, and Johr. Hutchinson, tlreman, of this city. AVheJi the crash came Patterson jumped and 'escaped with only minor bruises, but Hutchinson was caught and went down with his engine. The trainmen succeeded In getting the bodies of Galbreath, Hutchinson and Greeley from the wreckage before the flames got to them, but Rroslus's body was buried so far under the debris that It was Impossible to reach It, and it was Cremated. Wrecking crews from this city were quickly on the scene, as was also a chemical engine, which had been summoned and taken out on a special train. The chemical soon '. succeeded in getting the flames under control, and an etTort was made to get the bod of Rroslus. but little of it was found, except a. few charred bones and bits of clothing. The body must have been horribly mutilated, however, for the heart and beveral bits of flesh were found several Tet from the charred remains. With the exception of Hutchinson, all the riead men were married and leave families. The bodies were brought to this city. The wrecking crews succeeded In clearing the track this afternoon. In the meantime all traffic was delayed. 9 EIGHTEEN PERSONS HIRT. Ilesalt of a Collision of Trolley Cars in the Streets of Atlanta. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 6.

Report of the Special Engineering Experts Made Public. NEW YORK. Oct. C District Attorney Fhlibin to-day made public the report of Edwin Duryea and Joseph Mayer, the special engineering experts appointed by him to look Into the condition of the Brooklyn bridge after the breaking of several rods and bands on July 21 last. These experts were appointed to make this report with a view to presenting the matter to the grand Jury If H should be found that the bridge department had been negligent. The report ot the experts was first submitted to Mr. Phlibiu Sept. 14. It was full of technicalities, sue ii as the general public could not readily understand, and stories appeared in the public prims that the bridge was unsafe. Mr. Phllbln thereupon ubmltted it to V It. Parson, chief engineer of th.ItapM Trar.sit Commission, who slated. aftr reading it, that the bridge was perfectly saf.

MADMAN IN A HOSPITAL. Finnish Miner Crente Terror While in n Fit of Delirlnm. SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 6.-I:i a fit of delirium, August Sinnel. a powerfully-built Finnish miner, who was suffering fr.om acute erysipelas, created a panic at Holy Cross Hospital yesterday by arming himself with a large knife and rushing wildly about the corridors, threating to murder anyone who sought to restrain him in his effort to break out of the hospital. Sinnel burst off an inner door. Jumped through a glass window and disappeared before the police arrived. The hospital, it is said, was the scene of wild terror for awhile. The shock of the excitement and fright was severe upon the sisters and the patients of the hospital, many of whom were on the verge of collapse. At a late hour tonight no trace of Sinnel has been found. SAFETY OF PRESIDENT IlETTEk PROTECTION FAV0REI1 II Y GHOVEll CLEVELAND. He Opponri the Isolation Ideu, lion, ever, and Says the People Are Entitled to See the Executive. NEW YORK. Oct. 5,-Ex-rresident Grover Cleveland, in the Philadelphia Saturday Kvenlng Post, writes on the subject of "The Safety of the President" in opposition to the suggestion that the chief magistrate be Isolated. He thinks the people have the right to come in contact with the President. He believes that our policy in that respect should remain unchanged, but that better protection should be afforded the President by the men whose duty It is to juard his safety. He is in favor of rigorous laws to stamp out anarchy, which Y)e believes is growing In spirit In these United States. After voicing the demand of the people that the-assas?ln shall.be punished, the exPresldent says: "The chance is by no means remote that our chief executive may be assassinated and a great Nation be staggered by direful fear and apprehension, and yet the foul life of the murderer may be saved If the deed happens to be committed within the Jurisdiction of a State whose laws do not denounce the crime of murder wtih the punishment of death. The effect of this would be to heroize assassination in the imagination of the enemies of social order and to make the foul murderer a center of sympathy and pity among those who disseminate vicious discontent. "It is at this time a perfectly natural and justifiable cause of satisfaction that the hopeless and self-convicted perpetrator of the Infamous crime which now darkens with mourning every honest American household can anticipate nothing more gratifying to his brutal self-conceit and nothing more heroically notorious or sensational than a shameful death under the law' This is what Mr. Cleveland has to say about the Idea of keeping the public away from the President: "It is not amiss to add that in discussing the curtailment of the privileges long accorded to the public in this regard, the President himself must be reckoned with. We shall never have a President who Is not fond of the great mass of his countrymen and who is not willing to trust them. His close contact with them is inspiring and encouraging. Their friendly greeting and hearty grasp of his hand, with no favors to ask and no selfish cause to urge, bring pleasant relief from official perplexities and annoying importunities. The people have enjoyed a generous access to their President for more than a hundred years. Weighing the remote chance of harm against the benefit and gratification of such access both to himself and the people, it can hardly be predicted that a project for its abolition would be sanctioned by any incumbent of the presidential chair "We can no longer," says Mr. Cleveland, "doubt the existence and growth of a spirit of anarchy in our midst. It seems to need no special exciting cause to arouse it to deadly activity, but deliberately plans murder In high places." The American people, he continues, are inquiring why we allow the growth of. anarchy to continue why we let It gain a foothold in our soil in the first place. He gots on as follows: "Nor will these questioners be satisfied with mere relief from the future importation of the dangers of anarchy. They are asking if our popular government would be subjected to monarchical taint If strong and effective remedies were applied to the suppression of the machinations of Anarchists who have already a foothold among us. They see vagrants, common gamblers, suspected criminals and disorderly persons In the hands of the law for the harm they may do of a feeble kind and within narrow limits; and they cannot understand why Anarchists, whose diabolical character and teachings are. or ought to be. well known. are allowed to plot anil conspire until bloody assassination strikes down the embodiment of ettlcient rule and shakes the foundations of lawful authority. "Our people love liberty and are devoted to every guaranty of freedom to which their government is pledged. In dealing with anarchy, however, they impatiently chafe under the restraint which bids them to wait for the tragedy it prepares and to content themselves with visiting retribution upn its worthless and miserable tools. If to suppress and punish those who directly or by suggestion Incite assassination savors of monarchy, they are prepared to take the departure." FEW HEARD SHAFFER. III Address to Mllwnnkee Strikers Had o Effert. MILWAFKKK. Oct. 6.-President Theodore J. Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron. Tin and Steel Workers, it was learned to-day, made a flying trip to Milwaukee yesterday, remaining only long enough to make a short speech to a few of the strikers, and then took his departure. It is said not over fifteen or twenty of the strikers heard him. The substance of Mr. Shaffer's remarks was that all members of the Amalgamated Association who are now at work In the Uayvlew mills who do not walk eut at once will be considered as black sheep unless the mills are paying the Amalgamated scale In all departments. Mr. Staffer's visit had no effect on the strike. It li said he did not see any of the officials of the Ray view mills.

MARVELOUS STORY OF A CRIME PHILADELPHIA MWSPAPKIl MEX IX THE HOLE OF IIItlCiANHS. Attempted a "Scoop, hut "Were Scooped liy the Police, and Shorn of Their IH-fiotten Gnin. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6. Charged with kidnaping a woman and holding her a prisoner for four days, robbing her of jewels worth more than $2,000, and compelling her to sign bank checks for large sums of money, is the story which the police unfolded here to-day when they announced the arrest of two newspaper men, a stenographer in another newspaper office and a barber, all of whom are charged with complicity in the crime. The men now locked up at the Central police station arc: HOWARD K. SLOAN, an unemployed reporter. HENRY WALLACE, society editor on one of the morning papers. J. KNIGHT FINDLAY, o? Wayne, near here, stenographer in the business office of another morning paper. OSCAR S. DUNLAP, a barber employed in one of the most prominent shops in the city. The victim Is Mrs. Mabel Goodrich, the proprietress of an establishment on North Tenth street. The four men were arrested last night, and will be given a hearing tomorrow. Last Monday Mrs. Goodrich went to police headquarters and told a story of kidnaping and robbery so daring that the police at first doubted its truth. She said that for some time past a young man, who represented himself as a resident of Germantown, had been a frequent visitor at her establishment. He was well dressed and spent money freely. Last "Wednesday week, she said, he proposed a drive through Falrmount Park. He asked her to dress in her best clothes and for her to wear all her diamonds and other jewelry, because on the return from the drive he intended to take her to the finest dining room in the city, and he wanted her to "shine" with the other women in the place. She accepted, and the next day she went out with him in a carriage with a pair of richly caparisoned horses and with a coachman on the box wearing stjdish livery. GAGGED AND BLINDFOLDED. At a lonely place in Fairmount Park the carriage was stopped by a man who, she said, represented himself as D. Clarence Glbbony, the secretary and attorney of the Law and Order Society of this city. This man, she went on to say, told her that he had a warrant for her arrest on the charge of keeping a disorderly house, but that the matter could be fixed up. He was invited into the carriage, and the next moment she was gagged and blindfolded. She Was driven somewhere she did not know, but she noticed from one corner of the handkerchief over her eyes that the men paid toll at two tollgates and that they took her into a building where a fire engine and a hook and ladder truck were standing. She was kept a prisoner from Tuesday night until Friday night without anything to eat or drink, and was then taken on another Ions drive, blindfolded, to a house, where she was kept from Friday until Monday. In the latter place the men, who were masked, stripped her of the jewelry, and at the muzzle of a revolver compelled her to sign bank checks for various sums of money she had deposited in the Third National Bank. They made her sign for more than she possessed, but compelled her to promise she would make up the deficiency when they released her. The men, she said, then took her on another long drive, and put her out of the carriage at Tenth arid Poplar streets, about a mile from her house. "With other information the woman gave them the detectives began to work on what they believed to be a fairy tale. They got several clews which led them to a flre engine houie in Wayne, fifteen miles from this city. The fire company is a volunteer organization, and the key to the place was kept in the nearest dwelling. A CONFESSION. The nearest house was occupied by a family named Findlay, and there the police learned that one of the sons, J. Knight Findlay. had been home but little during the past two weeks. Getting a description of him the police returned to the city and found the youiif? man, who is only twentycne years old, in the office where he Is employed. He was charged with the crime, and broke down and implicated three others. Findlay said that he had impersonated the coachman, that Sloan, the unemployed reporter, acted the part of Attorney Gibbon, that the barber played the part of the rich Germantown resident and that Wallace, the society editor, had rented a house in Germantown. where Mrs. Goodrich was to have been held a captive. He told substantially the same story as that narrated by the woman. He said they kept her confined in the firehouse and then took her to a house at No. 255G North Twelfth street, where Sloan was arrested esterday. The plan to keep her in the Wallace house in Germantown was abandoned in favor of the Sloan house. Sloan, the police said, conceived the whole plot, and it was he that gut the barber into it. He had asked Dunlap to play the part of the rich man and get Mrs. Goodrich outdoors, so that he could serve the warrant on her for keeping a disorderly house. He did not reveal the real purpose of the scheme to the barber. All the jewelry was recovered, most of it having been found in the possession of Findlay and Sloan, who were wearing several of the rings. Only one check for $153 was cashed and most of this, money was also recovered.

Senator T. C. Piatt Spends an Eening st the White lloair, WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Senator Thomas C. Piatt, of New York, was a guest at dinner with President and Mrs. Roosevelt to-night.

Mann's Statement of What Wni Said When the Dying Executive Hade 111 Wife Farewell. "WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. The sons and daughters of the late President McKinley's native State of Ohio, who are now residents of Washington, to-day paid a last public tribute to the memory of their dead congressman. Governor and President, in a largely-attended meeting at Chase's Opera House. The gathering was held under the auspices of the Ohio Republican Association, but was not confined to Ohioans. About 3.000 persons were present. The decorations were appropriate to the occasion. The Marine Hand furnished the music, and was stationed on the stage directly under a large crayon portrait of President McKinley, which was draped in graceful folds of black, the whole surrounded by an Immense American llag. The meeting was presided over by Col. J. H. Brigham, assistant secretary, of agriculture. The Rev. J. J. Mulr delivered the invocation, and addresses were made by the Rev. Frank M. Bristol, pastor of the Metropolitan Church, which the President attended while in Washington; Judge Thomas H. Anderson, Alphonso Hart, i. K. Watson and Simon Wolf, of Washington. The speeches were full of expressions of love and honor for the memory of Mr. McKinley and dwelt on the virtues and qualities which had endeared him to the people. Several of the speakers took occasion to denounce the Anarchists in unmeasured terms and advised that drastic measures be taken against them. An interesting feature of the meeting was the reading of a letter from Dr. M. D. Mann, one of the President's physicians, to T. M. Sullivan, the secretary of the association, it was dated Butfalo, Sept. 20, and is as follows: "My Dear Sir As President McKinley was dying I stood behind a screen in his room and heard him say his last words. His wife came into tho room and he said to her: 'Good-bye, all; good-bye. It is God s way. His will be done, not ours.' There was some further conversation with his wife in the way of leave-taking, but this should not be repeated. About an hour later, he said to his wife: 'Nearer, my God. to Thee; e'en though it be a cross, has been my constant prayer.' He tried to say something more, but I could not catch it. I gave out at the time the first sentence as being the most appropriate to be remembered as his last words. I wrote them down at the time so that there can be no question about it." A letter from President Roosevelt regretting his inability to be present was read. Mourning In Honolulu. Correspondence of the Associated Press. HONQLULU. Sept. So.-Ever since the news of the death of President McKinley was received on Sept. 21, Honolulu has worn an appearance of mourning and meeting has followed meeting in memory of the dead President. The city has never before shown such unanimity in closing and suspending business as it did last Saturday, the day set apart as a day of mourning and prayer. A movement has been started for the erection of a monument by popular subscription. Sorrow In dapau. YOKOHAMA. Sept. 21. The tidings of the death of President McKinley came as a great shock to the foreign community, as well as to the entire nation and the day of the funeral was one of general mourning, busiiKss being almost entirely suspended. The event has called forth whatever still remained of the latent feeling of friendliness for the I'nlted States, the native papers vielng with each other ia expressions of grief and sympathy.

MONTHLY SIMMARY OI' THE CdlXTRY'S INTERNAL COMMERCE.

Movements of Wheat. Corn ITonr, 31 ill Stuff, Wool. Live Stock, Packers Product and Cotton. INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR CARLOAD RECEIPTS OF CHAIN AT CHICAGO XEYER SO HEAVY. Easthound Movement of Provisions Last August the Greatest in the History of Railroading. RECEIPTS OF LIVE STOCK GAIXFVfi RAPIDLY OVER THOSE OF THE PREVIOUS YEAH. In EiRht Months of 1001 the Increase at Five Markets Was l,Ml,HO Head Rnltlmore Favored. SrpcJa' to tlie Indianapolis Journal. .WASHINGTON, Oct. G.-The beginning of autumn affords a convenient standpoint from which to make survey of the internal trade movements of the country for the first two-thirds of the year. The monthly summary, issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, covers the movements of domestic trade for August and for eight months ending with August. It shows that the carload receipts of grain at Chicago during August amounted to 21,350 cars, compared with 15,713 cars during July. The spring wheat receipts at the four principal markets were 17,30:5,710 bushels, compared with 13,200,170 bushels in August of 1900, showing a gain of approximately two millions of bushels in the first month of the crop year. The four principal winter wheat markets during the first two months of the crop year received 32,477,344 bushels in July and August. and 32.494.C13 bushels for the corresponding months of the previous year. If the withdrawal of corn and wheat from tho country in export movements be taken as a measure of the coastward drain of these two cereals, it appears that during August, KXK), 14.1S0.S-Ö bushels of corn and 8.303.74S bushels of wheat were withdrawn from the country after participating in the internal commerce of the country by being transported fully a thousand miles to the coast. A most remarkable change from last year's movement is seen in the August arrivals from the interior for thisyear. Only 2,S35,143 bushels of corn passed out of domestic control and entered into the export, while 2,G3i,S32 bushels of wheat passed out of the country during the month. For the eight months ending with August last year the corn and wheat shipments out of the country amounted to 1S2,210.713 bushels. This year's shipments amounted to 213.53S.350 bushels. In point of quantity wheat and corn have been taking each other's place. Trade movements at interior centers generally still report an advance over last year, except where special causes, have intervened to the contrary. At Minneapolis the statement of receipts for the commercial year ending with September shows a decrease in the items of ilour and millstuffs, but an extraordinary increase in corn. oats, barley, rye and flax. Shipments of millstuffs increased perceptibly and serve to call attention to this market from which these by-products of Hour milling are widely distributed throughout a cattlefeeding territory of increasing -importance. The provision movement over trunk-line railways from Chicago and Chicago points for the five weeks ending with Aug. 31 have averaged the heaviest of the year. At St. Louis the receipts of wool this year were 3.721.4 pounds, compared with 2.5O3.G10 pounds last August. For the eight months ending with August this year's shipments have been fully 00 per cent, in advance of last year's. The receipts of hay have increased from 153.t0 tons to 160,937 tons. At Cincinnati there were received to Aug. 31, 1W), a total of 505.97J bales of wool, compared with 1.213.S75 bales to the end of August. 1901. Hay receipts have likewise advanced from 55,790 tons last year to 64,301 tons this year. The live stock receipts of five Western markets continue strong. For the e-is:ht months ending with August this year the increase over 19m) has amounted to 373,2s7 cattle, 923,764 hogs, 304.559 sheep, making a total gain of 1.G01.G10 head. The total receipts thus far through the calendar rear of these principal kinds have amounted to 21,325,304 head. The stocks of cut meats on hand on the last day of August at Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha were materially larger than they were a year ago, in spite of extraordinary demands occasioned by the heavy movements to the Atlantic coast and to the South on account of the opening of the cotton-picking season. A comparative summary traffic on the great lakes for August shows a gain in the number of barrels of flour received, in the tons of minerals and coal and in the quantity of logs and unclassified freight handled. The grain receipts and- shipments are at this stage of the season still far behind the aggregate of last year. On the Atlantic seaboard the four principal ports received the following quantities of grain during August, 19oi, compared with the same month of 190: New York 10.333.114 bushels, against 14.872,022 bushels' which includes in both cases Hour and meal reduced to bushels; Roston. 3 303 9s9 bushels, against 2.872.727 bushels; Philadelphia, including flour reduced to bushels 4.3PU-25. against 5.471,443; Baltimore, 8,510491 bushels, against 5.774. 700 bushels. ThV figures for Baltimore include onlv the four principal cereals and flour reduced to bushel?, while the Philadelphia figures do not include re. Possibly the most remarkabl? phenomenon in the month's grain trade is the increase in the receipts of wheat at Baltimore for August, from 1 340 -05 bushels in 11 J to G,r,lGt bushels In l''i The coal receipts at Roston tor the tight months ending August. 1901. have aggregated 3.3U4.333 tons from all sources Of this quantity 2.S76.272 tons were received from domestic sources by coastwise vessels and only 43.70 tons by rail. In Southern territory the cotton year ending with Aug. CI brings with it the statement of the commercial disposition of that crop for the entire season. The Texas crop amounted to 2.S0S.55S bales, of which 21'63S bales werp received at the Texas 'seaboard. The disposition of the total crop of 10.3S3.422 bales included 7.6;i;,452 bales received at ports. 1, 140.237 bales sent overland to mills outside of the South, and 1.620 931 bales reserved fnr Southern consumption subject to a deduction of 4I.19S bales taken from port receipts for Southern mill A calculation shows that the stocks remaining at domestic ports at the close of the cotton year amounted to 2.3 per cent of the entire crop. The demands of Southern spinners required 1.C0.931 bales, and Northern spinners 1.957.570 bales. A comparison of coastwise and foreign shipments at New Orleans gives the distinctive features of the coastwise trade, including shipment of sugar, molasses, rice, hides, wool and rot-ton-seed products. On the Pacific coast the most noteworthv increase in produce movements at Sail Francisco Is seen in the ease of barley oats and potatoes, while wheat, wine, lumber and coal show marked declines, owing largely to labor troubles at that point of trade. Deciduous fruit shipments have decreased for the season from 4.47S cars last year to 4.003 cars this year, although citrus shipments have Increased from 17.4"6 cars last season to 23.603 cars this season Lumber shipments at Taroma have advanced 4,-reatly over Ust month for coastwise a

Mr. and Mrs. Jameson and Mr. Watson had gone to Glen Cove on a visit and the Duke of Alba was at his hotel In New York, so Sir Thomas had the ship to himself. When asked alout his plains for the near future, he said: "After the dinner at the New Vork Yacht Club Tuesday night I have u number of invitations to various clubs, but 1 have not yet decided which I shall be able to accept, as my time is very limited. I shall go to Chicago, to be the guest of the Chicago Athittic Club on Tuesday of next weeK, leaving here Monday lor that place. It is not likely the Shamrock will remain In commission. 1 am very sorry she did not win at least one race. However, I am going to give Captain Sycamore and the crew of the Shamrock a banquet. It will probably be on Thursday night. I feci that they have done their best to make the boat win." From another source it was learned that there Is a hope on board the Erin and Shamrock that another race for the America's cup may be arranged, to be sailed next year. If this can be accomplished, it is raid, the Shamrock will be laid up in Now York for the winter. She is at present in the Erie basin.

TO RANSOM MISS STONE EFFORTS OF THE MISSION HOARD AMI ROSTOV CIURCIIES. Full Amount of the Sam Demanded by IIuIjiariHn Flrlftands Irotntly Will Soon lie United. ROSTON, Oct. 6. The urgency of the case of Miss Stone, the missionary held for ransom by brigands in Rulgaria, brought together the members of the prudential committee of the American board foi two hours to-day. Later the committee issued a statement based upon the views of President Samuel 13. Capen, of the board and the secretary, the Rev. Judson Smith, as the result of their visit to Washington yesterday. Both gentlemen had Interviews with President Roosevelt and the officials of the State Department. It was made plain to them, they told the prudential committee, that the only certain way to secure the release of Miss Stone and save her life would be the payment of the ransom. The committee was informed that the government, by reason of constitutional restriction, is unable to pay the ransom. The committee also was made aware of the fact that the American board has no money with which to save Miss Stone. The only practical way, therefore, was shown to be a popular subscription, which already has been started. The committee heartily approved tills and began sending telegrams to many parts of the country urging subscriptions. The committee says that in view of the spirit with which the appeal is received there is strong grounds for the hope that the amount will be obtained speedily, in every possible way the .American board will cooperate both by gift and by solicitation. President Capen says tnat the government at Washington, both the President and the State Department, have done, are doing and will continue to do all that is in their power to procure the release of Miss Stone. The firm of Kidder, Peabody & Co.. which Is handling the fund, kept its office open to-day. Late in the afternoon a statement of the day's receipts was made, the total being f 1.32Ö.75, with $040 additional in pledge. At the Park-street Church Rev. Dr. Withrow presented the case of Miss Stone strongly, assuring his hearers that if the money is not useu for her ransom, it will be returned to the donors, as the chances are "that the United States government will make the Turkish government pay a heavy indemnity for the outrage." At the Shawmut Congregational Church Rev. W. T. McElween said that while he did not wish to discourage the present movement for Miss Stone's release, yet the whole thing appeared to him to establish a bad precedent. He thought there must be some efficacy in a first-class battleship with decks cleared for action. In his opinion the brigands were playing a game of bluff and had no idea of assassinating the prisoner. Rev. Dr. Lorrlmer, at Tremont Temple, Rev. John Galbraith, at the Hromfield M. E. Church. Rev. S. E. Herrick, at tho Mount Vernon Church on Deacon street, also presented the appeal, and similar action was taken in other churches. Dr. Herrick's congregation subscribed 172, but other pastors asked donors to send their contributions direct to Kidder, Peabody & Co. The sum of $1.300 was given by members of the Frst Congregational Church of Chelsea. This is the church of which Miss Stone Is a member. Just how much money has been given by friends for the ransom of Miss Stone is not known to-night. Those directing the effort In her behalf hope that the response through the country will be very liberal, and that the figure is fully $1kom if not the necessary amount, which is $10,) more. In Roston and vicinity the amount already in hand from a comparatively small number of sources reached nearly $3'i.K0. and there are a host of c hurches to hear from. To-morrow morning's mall is expected to bring in many thousands of dollars additional, making it possible for Huston alone to raise over one-third of the total amount. The belief is general here that the country at large will care for two-thlrdy of the ransom money, so that it will be re-ly by Tuesday noon. The family of Miss Stone find no new to-day, and the American board cou'd give out nothing to throw light on the missionary's predicament. EATING HUMAN FLESH.

STITZ. WILLIAM. GROYF.lt. GAYIN L. PAYNE. CHARLES D. MAXWELL. HENRY C. SICKELS. HENRY RUSSELL. Charles A. Rookwalter, Republican nominee for mayor, predicts certain victory for the Republican ticket. He said to the Journal last niht: "The victory Is ours. The people havfc been with us tdnee the oicning of the campaign, and will tcrtlfy to this fact with their ballots at the polls. I could not be better satisfied with tho conditions at this stage of the campaign. Our organization Is almost perfect, and nothing has been left undone to make success certain. The party workers who are always depended upon to do the active work of the campaign are more int rested and enthusiastic this time than I have ever seen them before, and consequently have done better work than ever before "This time it will be an honest count, and there will be no repetition of the frauds which were perpetrated In many precincts two years ago. We have the inspectors, and that means that the Democrats will not have the opportunity of practically disfranchising our voters, not only in the manipulation of the count, but by the willful refusal to register their ballots, as they did two years ago. "My observation has been that the people of Indianapolis during this campaign have thought more and been more Interested in Mr. Taggart's hop. less floundering over the .'9-ccnt levy and his temporary loans and his record on the question of public franchises than upon any other subjects involved in the campaign. "That the people were deceived In 1S30 as to the true condition of the city treasury is now conceded; that it has been the consistent policy of the present administration to use special funds to conveal deficits in tho city treasury is now evident, this jKIley not being a feature of the last two years alone, but having b'cn generally followed since the time the first bond lssue was made for the construction of the police station, early in Mr. Tacgart's first term as mayor. "Relieving that the success or failure of any administration of c',ty affairs depends In a large measure not orly upon the mayor himself, but upon the p rsonnel of his various boards and other nppointees, I Khali endeavor to secure men In whom the people of Indianapolis have confidence, and I ehall alwajs insist tl at such boards shall be managed by such appointees in the Interest of the people alone, und lit In the interest of any corporations or coterie of iersonaI friends." Chairman Logsdon. of the Republican city committee, sail last. night that defeat for the Republican city t - ket was not only improbable, but Imposs'ble. "Von may ray for m'." said he. "that tht Republican city tiek-t will lw? elected by majorities ranging from C.V" to !). I deem it to be bad taste fr me to say anything alKut the organization, but I cannot rt frain front declaring It o be tL best we have ever had. It will IJ- particularly effective in getting our voters to the polls, and that means certain victory for us. We expect every ward in the eity to show large Republican gains, an 1 ou expectations are built on a substantial foundation. This election will demonstrate thai, it Is not the Republican party against ; the Democrallo party, but the people af ilnst TaggartUm and misrule." ' A RE :puilica h TORY.
