BOGUS MEDICAL COLLEGE.

SHEEPSKINS SOLD CHEAP FOR CASH. An Institution Similar In Msnsjenifntnnd Larger in Extent Than the Lite Druid College of Maine Discovered At Portsmouth, N. II. Portsmouth, X. IL, Sept. 2?. A great sensation has been caused there by the discovery of another actively maintained bogus college of medicine similar in management nr.d larger in extent than the Druid college of Maine, a full expose of which wan made some years ago. This latest chartered institution is the Trinity university of medicine and surgery, having nominal headquarters at Bennington, Vt. Its methods of business briefly told are these: Any person desiring to buy a diploma covering both medicine and surgery has, if possessing the necessary money, been given his choice of the following institutions, all of which exist merely on paper: University of Cincinnati, Montreal medical college, New York state medical college, Trenton (N. J. x medical college, university of New Hampshire, Trinity uuiTersity of medicine and surgery. The value of sheepskins representing the above institutions has varied from $J0 to JlOO each. There is no doubt but hundreds of them have been purchased throughout the West and South, while Now England alone has been victimize'! by score. Dr. P. S. Adams of Manchester, who is chairman of the state board of censor?, while purhuing official investigations in the state departmeut last November discovered the incorporation o: an institution about which he immediately became suspicious. It was the university of New Hampshire, nominally located at Nashua and oriieered by Fred t. Wheaton, Ph. 1)., as president and H. P. Bradbury, M. D., secretary. In the course of his inve-tiiration he discovered that these persons were connected with the '"Trinity university of JJTiiiinirtnn," though passing nailer other names, Bradbury alo doing an active business in Lowell under the name of lr. Fret-land. There it was learned a large correspondence nas received, showing- that the vast amount of mail sent from and delivered tit Bennington, Lowell, Nashua and Boston combined was probably only a email per cent, of the existing evidence relative to the great evstematic swindling that was heinir done. Br.tdburv, it was learned, figured as "Ir. IliileY" of 71 Cornhül, Boston, where all correspondence appertaining to Trinity university was forwarded. Wh-?n Pr. Adnms' agents had completed their negotiations with Ripley it was agreed that a diploma of Trinity university should he delivered to th :n upon receipt of a handsome financial consideration. This was done, a newspaper man who was working- ou the case volunteering to pay for the sheepskin. As soon ns it was evident that a criminal case bad been made out, the matter was given in charge of the authentic, and it is probable that important developments will take place in a day or two. REVIEW OF THE WEEK'S TRADE. Business Indications Generally F.iTornhle Kates For Money Advanced. New York. Sept. 2. Ii. G. Pun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Business indications this week are generally favorable. The exports from New York for four weeks exceed last year's by 2 per cent., and a like pain elsewhere would mean aa excess of exports over imports for the month r.pproachir.g P-.üdOK, for the increase in imports here has ben but 'M per cent. Put that excess would not meet the month's allowance for interest, under valuations and lreight charges, so that foreign exchange has advanced during the week )jC. The bank of England has raised its rate from 4 to 5 per cent., and that bank lost -v5,000 suecie for the week; the bank of France also lost ?2,275,0iO, and the bank of Germany $2,124,0(0. These evidences of foreign demand, with the low stat? of reserve at New York, render the monetary future les3 clear, and the rates for money have advanced during the week fully 1 per cent, on call, with increasing caution in commercial loans. Tiie treasury has helped during the week by disbursing 2,10",(00 more than it has taken in, and the reports from interior points all indicate an ample supply of money for legitimate needs and no stringency. Until Thursday the stock market had been comparatively inactive, though not declining. Put a sharp advance has since appeared, putting the average of prices fully half a dollar higher than a week ago. Peports of foreign buying of securities are circulated, but the market seems still mainly confined to professionals, though its advances should indicate stronger confidence as to the monetary future and also as to early settlement of rates. Manufacturers are clearly improving. At Boston sales of wool have been 2,1 -SO, CM) pounds for the week, with prices about steady, ami the demand is more active. At Philadelphia manufacturers are also bying, though with caution. No present change is noted in the goods market. The demand for iron and steel etill meets the very large supply, and the changes in prices are all upward. Coal is rather stronger, but the demand does not yet meet the supply. Copper has been a shade stronger. Wheat has risen 2:''c during the week on sales of 24,0' xi.onO hush-.. - 1- . 1 r , . w ns, nui uecauae oi larger ioreign demand, but because the supplies coming from farms do not grade so well and not so large as was expected. Corn has fallen over Z cent, und oats Z cent, with moderate trading. Coffee is M cent lower on sales oi Sr.'.OOU bats, and oil 1 cent lower on smaller trading. Pork. Erodusts are rather stronger, and butter 2 cents igher. The general tendency of prices is upward. Signs of greater activity in all directions are encouraging. 'I he business failures number P'2 as compared with a total of 1IS last week, and 1M the week previous. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 220. 'TWAS LCVE AT FIRST SIGHT. A Komantic Marring at Danville, III. The I.ady Known in Indianapolis. Danville, III., Sept. 2;. Special. John V. Schuman aged twenty-one of Lebanon, III., and Klla Stewart aged eighteen, of Kansas City, Mo., came to Danville, early this morning and were married by Judge Lvans. The young couple separated immediately after the ceremony, the bride going to Kansas City and the groom returning to Lebanon. It was their intention to keep the marriage a secret from everyone, including immediate relatives, until the completion of the bride's education, which will not be twovears. She is an only daughter of James Stewart. who is reported to be a very wealthy architect at Kansas City. Felix Schuman, father of the groom is a politician of considerable local notoriety. Miss Stewart had been visiting at Indianapolis, where she was met by young Schuman. Jt was a case of love at first sight.

THE UTAH COMMISSION'S REPORT.

The Mormon Vote Decreasing rolycamy Still Tnuictit und Practiced. Washington, Sept. 27. The annual report of the Utah commission has been received by Secy. Noble. This commission, under authority of congre-r, has general supervision of all elections in the territory, and is especially intrusted with the enforcement of the "Edmunds-Tucker act" of March 3, IS 7. The report says that the commission on Nov. 3, lt-s, appointed a canvassing board of five reputable citizens, three of whom were gentiles and two mormons. This board made returns of the votes cast for delegate to congress on the b'th of that month, when it was found that John T. Cain, a mormon, had received 10,127 votes; It. N. Baskin 3.213 aud S. It. Thurman 511. Cain was, therefore, given a certificate of election. With but one exception, the report states, there was no charge of fraud iu the conduct of the election. With the purpose, as far as possible, of wiping out polygamy, the commission, in appointing registrars ol election, selected, when possible, those belonging to the non-mormon element, and always appointing a majority of the judges of election trom the gentile class. In some places, however, there were no trentiles to fill the positions, und in these cases mormons were appointed. This course, the report states has had tiie effect of decreasing the mormon vote. Touching the question of polygamy, the report says: "Polygamy is not, at the present time, openly practiced, except, perhaps, in a few remote and out-of-the-way place;, but the non-mormon element insists that plural marriages are so'emnized clandestinely and practiced secretly in the largest centers and throughout the territory. This may or may not be true. The commission neither ailirnis nor denies in the absence of positive evidence. Extracts are given from Mormon papers showing that they still openly advocate polygamy. That the teachings and practice of polyamy have not been discontinued, as it is said by some, is proven, the report says, by the fact that sinee Sept. 1, l.iv there have been in the territory of Utah .'!."7 convictions for bigamy, nli!tery, fornication and unlawful cohabitation; only two for bigamy. If plural marriages are row celebrated, says the report, it is done in the secret chambers of the temple. The eonmis-ion, in view of the present condition of the territory as regards polygamy, does not think that Utah should be admitted as a state. Among other things the commission recommends that the laws with reference to imtnication of Chinese and the importation of contract labor, paupers and criminals be so amended as to prevent the immigration of persons claiming that their religion justifies the crime of polygamy and that the constitution should be amended so as to forever prohibit polygamy. A Hann For Old (iprnnimn. Washington, Sept. 27. In a few days Secy. Proctor will send a board of army officers, in company with a committee of the Indian rights association, to conclude the purchase of the tract of land in North Carolina upon which Geronimo and his Indians, now in Alabama, will !e placed. This tract is in western North Carolina, near the Tennessee line, from which it i separete 1 by the tireat Smoky mountains. There are a number of Cherokees living there now, remnants of a band which refused to go to the Indian territory, and a Quaker settlement. Another Mail Pouch Stolen. Washington, Sept 27. Chief Fostothce Inspector Rathbone has received information that a pouch of mail matter was last ii'gbt stolen from the railroad station at Salem, O. THE THREE TARIFF BILLS. Appraiser Shnrctts of ISitltlmorn Kecomrnends Free Raw Material. Baltimore. SepL 27. Appraiser Sharetts has transmitted to the secretary of the treasury a report in reply to a request for a compilation of the best features of the three tariff bills presented to congress. It recommends protection of home industries, but urges that raw material and goods not indigenous to the United States should be admitted free, especially when they do not interfere with home industries, as wool, tin, salt and lumber. As foreign wool roust be used to mix with the domestic article to compete with the foreigner, it should be free, as a high cost limits production of raw wool here. If it is fre the mixed tariffs of the senate bill is superfluous. But if a tar if on raw wool is to remain, the mixed tariff is indispensable and there mut be a pound duty on raw wool together with an ad valorem duty on the manufactured articles. It recites that Indiana. Illinois, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York and the Pacific coast are interested in cheap tin nnd the output depends upon de-n-sud. which, in turn, fluctuates with the cost of the output. The demand for canned goods being decreased by an increased cost of 12 cents a dozen, caused by the tnritl of 1 cent a pound, aflects the hundreds of thousands of people engaged in the canning industry. It recommends free tiu plate, terue plates and tagger's tin. COMPELLED TO WED. A Tonne M.nn Forced Into a Marriage With n KitKsInn Girl. Nkw York, Sept. 20. A strange story was told at police headquarters to-night by two men about a young man, a friend of theirs, named David Kirchnerhoff, being forced into a marriage with a Russian girl against his will. While the two men were looking lor redress at headquarters the marriage ceremony was being performed in the Golden Star ball. 92 Hester-st. The father of tiie newly-made wife is a cloakm iker and his name is Aaronson. Thinking some time Rgo that his daughter Hose should get married, be paid $KHI to a "chadehiu" to pet her a husband. The "chadchin" got young Kirchnerhoff to fill the bill and, it is said, gave him half of the money. The couple were made acquainted, but soon the bridegroom-to-be manifested a coolness toward his fiancee. He made up his mind to leave the city, and tried to carry out the design on Satuaday last. He went down Grand-sL toward the ferry, but was followed by Aaronson and the "chadchin" who captnred him on a Williamsburg ferry-boat and brought him back. He was taken to a house on Christie-st. and kept there till this afternoon, under a guard of six men. Tonight he was compelled to walk to tiolden Star hall, don a suit of wedding clothes and go through his part of the ceremony. Kabbi David Falk of 65 Canal-st. officiated. It is not yet known what steps will be taken in the matter. A BRUTE'S HORRID CRIME. Miss F.va Pnrtly of Sabatha, Kas., Ilrutally Outrngrri She Wilt Die. Sahatha, Kas., SepL 20. This place is wildly excited to-night over the brutal outrage of Miss Kva Purtly, the eighteen-year-old daughter of a wealthy farmer. During the absence of the parents at church, an unknown masked man entered the house, seized and chloroformed the girl and then carried her to a field nesr by where she was cruelly outraged. Carbolic acid was then poured down her throat and she was left to die. The latter act cast suspicion upon a discarded lover of the victim, but he was not arrested. Squads of men set out to capture the nend and a tramp named Richard Hollow was arrested, thouzh there is no direct evidence against him. The prisoner narrowly escaped lynching. The girl cannot live through the night. A Hrakrninn ( ruined to Death. Cambridge City, Sept. 2S. Special. Jasper Griffy, a son of John GrifTyof Dublin, Ind., and who but a few days since commenced work as brakeman in the railroad yard here, was fatally crushed between an engine and freight car this morning.

WHAT MR. TANNER THINKS.

A LETTER TO PRIVATE DALZELL. Tiie l.tk-t m Commissioner of I'niiiini ICxpresses His Mind Freely to Mis Friend Says Some Interesting Tilings Thinka II 1 la the ".-Soup." St. bins, Sept. 25. A epecial to the ll,lnhlk from Caldwell, 0., gives the following letter, which explains itself. Its authenticity ia fully vouched for: Department of the Interior, Hlkeacof Pensions, Office of the Commissioner, Washington, D. C. Sept., P'SO. iConfidentinl.J The Hon. J. M. Iii',zell, Caldwell. O. My Dear Dalzeli I have yours of the Kith. I think I have read all that has been printed as coming from your lips or pen. For yonr great warmth of good feeling I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And now, once for all, about the deputyship. I want to say to you that the president never said one word to me about you. I can not come out and say that publicly; you must not quote it; but it is God's truth. The one appointed lirt deputy Mas from Noble's state, and had lost two limbs. Of course, I could not kick. I imagine that your keen eye has caused you to discern, and that you are contemplating, the cliect in Ohio of two tilings recently done iu the pension office. When I 6ay recently, I mean since I practically went out, for, while 1 am commissioner, and will be until my successor is appointed and qualities, I am taking no part in the duties of the otiice, holding myself on leave. While commissioner, I issued two orders w Inch I thought, and still think, were mighty good ones; first, that the S.'t.OU) men on the pension roll at less than $1 a month should all, nule.ss they had had a medical examination within a year, be ordered for examination before their home board, with a view to putting them up to at 'east 51 per month pension or drop them o!l the roll; for it was, and is my opinion that lor a man who is worthy of any pension at all a dollar a week is small enousrh to consider a pension. My second order was that thereafter, iu the settlement of a pension claim, the word of a private, if be was a man of good character and standing, should amount to as much in the settlement of the claim as the word of the man who had perhaps worn the shoulder-straps of neeond lieutenant. The acting commissioner revoked both of thepe orders, according to the Washintrton I'fst and other papers, but, ns be is a man who dare not say his 6oul is Iiis own, he did it under the instruction of Noble or U.issey. I nm tcld this afternoon that the order revoking my decision of the sm.ill pension cases has been rescinded, but you can see what the spirit is; and how under heavens now are they poing to make the bojs believe that there is to be no chance in the policy. Smith also issued an order stopping all reratings. He did not object to it until alter I had re-rated him and put him up to $72 for the loss of his arm and leg, thereby putting the sum of '),0o5 in his pocket. I held, and still hold, that he was clearly entitled to it; hut is it not contemptible that a man who had had that done for him, and who had acquiesced in it cordially in his own case, should now he so pronounced against the re-ratins of poor devils who, perhaps from the etlects of malarial poisoning, chronic diarrhea, or some disease of that kind, sutler twice as much as a man does from amputation? I want to say to you that I did not resign until the president and the secretary had both said to me in the same minute that the completed report of the investigating committee, which lay before them, contained no word which would impeach the honesty of my action in the slightest degree. Then 1 bad to consider whether I was man enough to decline to continue in a position where I knew my immediate official superiors did not desire me, even conceding that I could stay against their wishes, which is not at all true. I have not the slightest doubt but that I would have been removed if I had not resigned; in fact, I know it. Noble had certainly pronounced his ultimatum to be my hend or his resignation; and, of course, a break in his cabinet would have embarrassed Harrison greatly. Now that I have the completed report, and have cone through it carefully and thoroughly, 1 say to you as one whose good opinion I value, that all under heavens they can charge me with is too much liberality and' too much speed in the granting of pensions. I think you will agree with me that we have had impecuniosity and procrastination enough, so that it would take more than six months of my time to bring it up to a decent average. Of the future I know nothing. lithe boys, and particularly those in Ohio, acquiesce, why it is safe to say that Tanner will be left where he i's in the soup. Among the promotions announced in the pension oihee night before last is that of Harrison lu Bruce of Colorado, to he a member of th board of pension appeals in the secretary's otiice at $2,1-00 a year. He had been detailed for duty in the secretary's oflice for some months, and was appointed by the secretary one of the commissioners which investigated the pension office. Don't you think it would have looked a little better if they had waited at least until after I had passed out of official life before they promoted him. Some will be cynical enough to reflect upon cauoe and ell'ect, service aud reward. With all my heart, very truly yours, James Tanner. P. S. I have written you with great free lorn ; don't give me any cause to reeret it by saying anything about thij letter. It is to you solely. PlTTSuritG, Pa Sept. 27. Special Private Dalzell of Caldwell, O., to-night sent the lollowinsr letter to the Post, which requires no explanation: Caldwell, O., Sent. 27. The following telegram passed through this office to-day: Washington, I. C, Sopt. 21, 1SS9. lion. James M. Dalzell. Caldwell, O.: Was my letter stolen from you? Jamfs Tansfr. Caldwell, O., .vpt. 27.Hon. James Tannr. Connui-sioner of Pensions, Waihinton, 1. V. : You aic if your letter was stolen from my office. No. There ar- no thieves around mv office now; all ftone E;ut or locked up in some otherottice. Voiir lellcr caniwt injure any honest niau. It corohoratci and vindicated me ia 11 my statements about you and and th deputyship which was promised to nie. My family demnuded its puMieatioa to settle finally and forever the truth of all my published statements, as it was the only means in my power to do. With the question of eracity it rai.ei between Sherman, Taylor, Harrison and others, I have no further concern except to orler to publish their letters to mo. I have never wrote one yet lny.telf that the press may cot have freely to-morrow. A journalist for hirty years, I kuow my duty to the public; hence 1 have never retracted, explained or modilied let ten yet. With its political etlVrt I have nothing to do or say. You have my sincere sympathy and vour enemies my bitter curses. I have risked niuc'a to vindicate you, even the wrath and curse of many of our leatlintf rrpublican journals. They have trledi to read me out of the republican party that I helped create because of my defense of you this fall. I could have done nothing more impolitic than thus dofi iid you. You have more than repaid my services and sacrifices hy exposing to public contempt the intrieuers. who. by treachery atnl falsehood, betrayed u Ixith, and with us the entire comradeship who raised them from the dun'-hill to the throne id power. It is only fülseh.Mid that needs concealment; th uth loves the liirht of publication, tiod is li'.'ht; lod is truth; truth is god-like; therefore 1 worship truth and hsve no concern a'tout the consequences of telling the truth, no matter where I find out or from whom, or where or when. 1'At.KELU In Favor of John L.

ARE SUFFERING FOR FOOD.

The Miners of Spring Valley Their Children Go Hungry aud Are Poorly Clad. Chicago, Sept. 23. Mr. Henry 1. Lloyd of this city, who has iust returned from a visit to Spring Valley, III., where he distributed nmonkT the destitute miners medicines furnished by a charitable ew York lady, writes a long letter to the Tribune, in which he describes the wretched condition of the people there. He Fays: "Amon? other means of petting intelligence and unbiased information as to the exact state of things, I visited the catholic school aud the public 6Chool, ia which together there are over six hundred children, and talked with the teachers and many of the children. The sisters who taught in the catholic school said that their children gave unmistakable evidence of not having sufficient food. They were paler than the year before and they could not study as well. Children would frequently fall asleep at their desks from weakness. Dut bo sturdy was their pride and self-respect that it was almost impossible for their teachers to obtain from them any acknowledgment that they did not get enough to eat at home. Children who were unmistakably sullering for want of nourishment would even refuse food when offered them by their teacher, and in some cases the Sister Superior said when food was taken by some child it was immediately rejected by the stomach, showing how far ihe exhaustion of hunger had goue. One of the teachers in the public school stated that on her way to the school in the morninp she would meet as many as a dozen of her class out with baskets going to heg. As they saw her the little things, ashamed, would try to hide from sight until she had passed. In both schools numbers of the children were insufficiently clothed, little boys and girls of the tenderest age having on only some liirht sack or jacket, with no underclothing. It was a cold, hieak day, but many were barefoot. How the people have lived at all is a mystery. "There have been during the last four weeks endinir -ept. 25 live distributions by tiie relief committee all in goods; no money has been given out and the extent of -this 'charity' is sufficiently indicated by the stat'.-inent taken from the account of the committee that each family of beven, and others in proportion, had received for the entire period of four weeks Hour, meal, etc., to the value of cv.S or M cents' worth for each person for the whole four weeks. The mayor of the city, the editor of the Spring Valley Oazrtte, the congregational clergyman. Mr. Stringer, all the physicims of the place, everyone, in fact, stated, without qualification, that were it not for the relief from without, tiie people would have starved and would be starving. To check so scanty a stream of relief, eisrhty-four cents' worth of food for each person monthly, the talk about 'exacrtreration' seems to me nothing short of inhuman." Mr. Lloyd declares that the death rate is high there, and it will be rently increased as the weather trrows cold. He declares of bis own knowledge that the sict and poor have been refused medicine and medical advice by the poor authorities there. He -urges that contributions be sent to these people. ROMEO SMOTE THE OFFICER. Vice Consul Johnson nnd An Inquisitive French Gendarme. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30. A special cable dispatch to the Press says: Oliver R. Johnson of Indianapolis, vie-coasul of the United States at London, paid a visit to Paris this week and had an experience tbera which threatens to strain the relations between our country and France. Johnson hnd occasion to go to Neuilly, outside of the city gates, to visit friends, and he employed the ordinary fiacre of Tarisan commerce to convey him thither. The vice-consul has, in the course of his career, accumulated a vast amount of ignorance of the French language, and, consequently, when he was halted at the city gate by a gendarme, who proceeded to search his carriage, Johnson called loudly upon his maker and Fniote the officer between the eyes. In a moment the fiacre was surrounded by police, and Johnson, strujrifling valiently for the glory of Indianapolis, was held firmly while the vehicle was thoroughly searched. The only word that the vi?e-consul could understand in response to his frenzied inquiries for an explanation wns poulet, which the brief period of his residence in a French hotel tauirht him had reference to a barn-yard fowl. AVhen Johnson laid the matter before Constil-fien. Rathbone of 1'aris, he was informed that his carriage was searched in order to a-certain if he was smuggling chickens into the city to avoid the fax that the municipal government iir.poses upon fowls. Johnson does not, however, consider this explanatijn a satisfactory one, and he declares that if he did not have a horror of precipitating a war he would bring the matter bei ore the U. IS. government. SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY. It Convention in Session in Chloaco Trouble lletween the Factions. Chicago, Sept. "0. The convention of the socialist labor party was in executive session this morning. Reports were received from a number of sections throughotit the country, showing that the membership is slowly increasing. V. L. Rosenberg, the general secretary of the party, read a report reviewing the troubles between the New York factions, which culminated two weeks ago in the suspension of four members of the national executive committee and their ejection from the socialist headquarters. These four claim they were illegally and wrongfully suspended, and maintain th:it they are now the real national executive of the party. The convention now in session here is held under their auspices, and in all likelihood another convention will be held here about Oct. 12 by the other faction. Th fight is a very bitter one. Posenberg, in his report, charges that Editor Schevitsch of the Volk Zeitung is dishonest, and sold out the labor party to the republican politicians in New York previous to the last national election. He says he possesses documents to uphold his assertions. The report was referred to a special committee. FROM HER HUSBAND. A LonisTlIIo Woman Given a Divorce Accord i ii z to Mosaic Law. Lorisvn.i.E, Sept. SO. The rare ceremony of divorcing a woman from her dea l husband, according to the old requirements of the Mosaic law, took place at the Pnni-Jacob synagogue in this city yesterday. The woman was Mrs. J. Levin, whose husband, a peddler, was killed on the 27th of last June by two tramps. She had no children, and the old law of the orthodox Jews is that in such a case the dead man's eldest brother ia to marry the woman, and raise ud children in the name of the deceased. Mrs. Ievin, however, did not desire to marry Israel Ivin, her husband's brother, nor he her. She had, therefore, to be divorced, and as thero were none in Louisville, two orthodox Jewish rabbis, who were required to perform this ceremony, were brought here from Chicago. The divorce took place in the synairot'ue in the presence of a small congregation that had thriftily been charged 25 cents & head. Juris? Hohn Critically III. Portland. Sept. 27. Special.

CRASHED INTO A SLEEPER.

A "WRECK ON THE HUDSON CENTRAL. The First Section of the St. Louis Kxpresa While Stopped For Itrpnira Telescoped L'y the Second Section A Krake man's ltluuder the Cause. Talatixe Bridge, N. Y., Sept 2. The St. Louis express, No. 5, which left Albany at 10 o'clock last night met with a bad accident about two miles east of here about midnight. The first section broke down and topped for repairs. The rear brakeman was 6ent back to signal the second section, but for some reason failed to perform his duty. The engineer of the second section says he did not see him and the first he saw was the lights of the first section in front of him. The first section was made up of baggage, mail, express and three passenger cars, packed with people, and a Wagner sleeper on the end. The crash was terrif.c. The second section telescoped into the first section, knocking out the lights and plunging everything into darkness. Up to this hour (2 a. m.) four bodies have been taken out of the sleeper, and it is feared the total deaths will run up to twentyfive, and possibly more, as the car was full. It is difficult to get the particulars at this hour. Canajohahie, N. Y., Sept. 2?.

The saddest and most terrible part of the accident befell Wiiiiam 11. Manning and his party. Mr. Maiming resided at Marquette, Mich., and a few weeks a 20 came east to Westport, X. Y., where he married Miss Julia Davis, a wealthy and beautiful youn? lady. They had passed a few weeks of their honeymoon in the East, and yesterday started for their new home, where an elegantly furnished bouse awaited them. Mr. Manning was injured internally, atid was badly disfigured about the face. He was out of his berth and moved forward where he Beemed to rest easily. The physicians encouraged hira and his big black eyes gli.-tened with deligh, that he was likely to come through alive. He was moved to the hotel Wasuer in this plac and died soon after. His wife, who is a beaut tiful little lady, took everything calmly. She was carried to the next berth to that of her husband and clearly stated her condition. Her head is injured and she is otherwise hurt, but not fatally. , The private car, Kankakee, of President Ingalls, of the Big Four and the private car of President H. D. Ledyard of the Michigan Central were on the train and both were wrecked, but one save the porter of the Kankakee, escaped injury. The coroner's inquest will be held Monday. Vice-President ebb of the AVasner palace car company says that the blame for the accident lies entirely with the engineer of the first section. As soon as the cylinder head blew out he should have stopped his train and the rear brakeman could nave got tar enough back to stop the second section. Instead of so doing he took bis train along at a reduced rate of speed while the second section was rapidly gaining upon him. When he did stop it was too late: there was no time to stop the following train and that the number of killed and injured was not much greater is fortunate. The second section of the train suffered no injury except to the entrine and this is due larcely to the vestibuliug, which made the train solid and prevented any telescoping. SISTER CAMILLE'S ASSAILANT. It AVas Not John Murray of Terre Haute, ns Supt'.onrd. TKr.KE Hai-TE, Sept. 20. Special. Yesterday a telegram was received from the chief of police at Emporia, Kas., asking for the arrest of John Murray upon the charge of having committed en assault upon Sister Camille at the convent of the Sacred Heart in that city last Wednesday because she would not forsake her vows and become his wife. Murray was arrested nnd taken to police headquarters from his work ns switchman in the Vandalia yards here, but he so clearly established an nl.bi that he was allowed to go again. His superiors and all the train men sny he was at work here Wednesday evening and so do scores of others, including his boarding-house keeper. This notwithstanding Sister Camilie's positive statement that John Murray was her assailant and her tormentor. Murray says he was never in Emporia in his life, and tfiat he barely saw the sister when he was a pntient at the hospital here, lie denies being infatuated with her or knowing anything about her or where she is. There is an air of mystery about the sister's charge against Murray, and the hope is generally expressed here that it will be cleared up. Murray says he is willing to go to Emporia with or without an officer to get the matter straightened up. Sister Camilie's Assailant. Gov. Ilovcy yesterday issued a requisition on request of the governor of Kansas for the arrest and return of Johu Murry ol Terre Haute for assault with intent to murder on Sister Camille in Lyons, Kas.

Itevenuo Cutter Hush To Stop at Victorin. Ottawa, Ont., Sept. ,10. Word from British Columbia to-day says that the U. S. cutter Rush, which has gained such notoriety this season in 1 connection with the seizure of Canadian seal ers in Behring sea, will shortly leave Sitka for the south, calling on her way down at Yictoria. It is feared that, owing to the indignation which exists against the officers and crew of the cutter among the crews of the seized vessels and their friands over the confiscation of their summer's work, serious trouble may arise, as the men are determined, they say, to avenge their wrongs in this way, if the British government is going to deny them protection. It is said that it will give the local authorities all they can do to prevent a conflict. The military force stationed at Yictoria is to be held in readiness to quell any disturbance.

Le Cloche continued: "He ran the engine all the wav himself; I did not touch the throttle." "Was be asleep at the time just before the accident?" "I don't know. His bead was out of the cab window at the time, and he might have been asleep without my knowing it." At this point the fireman broke down completely, and cried like a child. He was le i away in charge of a policeman. The fireman was only recently married, and is a fine-looking young fellow, though his face is not a strong one. Engineer Seth Twoinbiv is under arrest at his borne, confined to bed by injuries received in the. wreck his own drunkenness created. A TRIUMPH OF GALL.

BOUGHT BY ENGLISH .MONEY

THE SYNDICATE DEAL COMPLETED. Fifty Millions of Dollars Expended in the 1'arrhais of American Industries b Uritiih Capitalists-List or th Properties Sold. CmrAoo, Sept. 2. The expenditure of $.7), O0,(iK by two English syndicates for the control of an extraordinary aggregate of industrial enterprises in the I'nited States was completed in this city to-day. Ivy Mayer, a well-known Chicago lawyer, was one of the agents in the great purchase, and to bini was left the matter of muking public a summary of the transactions, or rather the extended series of transactions. A pair of London corporations, headed by the present lord mayor of Iondon, Sir Henry Isaacs, are the buyers. The syndicates include ia their membership a great number of Iiritibh bankers and trustees of large estates in the I'nited Kingdom. No business was acquired for them in the I'nited States which has not paid at least 12; J per cent, a year for the past five years, tirain elevators, flouring mills aud breweries have been the favorite investments. 1 he management of each of the various enterprises will be placed in American boards of directors, subject to the control of a board. "Doesn't this tend to the establishment of a huge British trust?" Mr. Mayer was a-ked this evening. "Oh, no," said he. "There is no combination. Each enterprise is operated separately and distinctly. The plan is not one of aggression, but of conservative, sure investments." Hostile legislation, it is learned, has been cleverly evaded. Ihe alien laws of Illinois, for example, prohibits any ale of real estate to foreigners. It was designed to prevent the acquirement of farms ia Illinois by a certain British landlord for "rack-rcntinir" purposes. The syndicate got around this statute by having the ownership of necessary real estate incorporated and then acquiring the stock of the company, which legally is "personril' not "real" property. Thedeal embraces a chain of elevators from the Minnesota and Dakota wheat districts to Chicago; the syndicate flouring mills are at Minneapolis and the breweries are in Chicago and the Last The purchasing committee, or at least two of its members whose identity has not been disclosed, left Chicago this evening en route to the Northwest and intending to go from there to Omaha and Kansas City, where further purchases are now being considered. The titles of the following properties have already been turned over to the syndicate: Tiie I-mis A; Me voy breweries of Chicago. The Wacker .V l'.irk breweries of Chicago. The Albany brewery of Albany, X. Y. The Jones brewery of Detroit. Mich. The Ilauck brewery of Newark. N. J. The Trefz brewery of Jersey City, N. J. The I'nited States breweries of New York. A portion of the stock of the Schoenhofen brewery of Chicago. The Star elevators of Minneapolis seventysix in number. Thetr. W. Vanduzen system of elevators, of Rochester, Minn. ninety in number. The Cargill Bros.' elevator system of Minnesota and Dakota. The Baltimore breweries of Baltimore. The F. Braastadt Hancock iron mines, of Hancock, Mich. The Rochester breweries of Rochester, Y. Y. Arrangements for the following are also concluded, and the transfer will take place in a fe days: The F. J. Dewes brewery, of Chicago. Tiie Pillsbury Hour mills of Minneapolis. The Wpshburn flour mills of Minneapolis. The Syracuse brewery ot Syracuse, N. Y. Negotiations for two extensive elevator systems in Chicago are well advanced, but not yet consn mmated. The City contract comnanv of London, capital, f.V,(,O.fO0, and the Trustees' and Executors' company of the same city, capital. $37..VNi,fnO, are the corporations or syndicate making the big purchases. Both are reputed to be among the most solid of British institutions. Lord Mayor Isaacs is president of the latter company. Trusted n?uts first made lists of desirable property. The next step was to obtain options (contracts binding the owners to sell for a certain sum. and giving a history of the enterprise for ten years back 1, accompanied by a bank deposit to guarantee expenses itf an investigation. Expert examination by F-nirlish accountants followed; then came a report from an advisory committee sent to the ground, and lastly, the work of the purchasing committee. The enminir,g or advisory comtrittee came over in July and consisted of D. C. Macrae, editor of tiie London Fiimncia' Times; H. H. Sli.ir.ks of Indon. and several other gentlemen. The purchaing committee was headed by Messrs. Thomas Stewart and Lehigh Marshall. Secrecy of the most binding character was observed to the utmost. The main reason for this as given by a member of the purchasing coin mittee to-day was, "We have been inclined to look on the purchases as private business u hich coald be of no proper interest to the public." ANOTHER STEAL DISCOVERED. More rtond Irregularities Come to Light in Louisiana. New Oklean. Sept. 20. The statement is now made, upon what appears to be good authority, that irregularities have been discovered in what is known as "baby bonds," commencing at number 102, with some slight irregularity previous to that number. Nearly all the "baby bonds" above 1"2, are fraudulent. The state auditor and treasurer will soon take up this branch of the investigation. Atty. Jen. Borers admits that "baby bonis" have been abstracted or otherwise tampered with to the amount of I'H("0. According to Judge Hogers' figures the d-'talcition already in night will reach more than jd.L'uU.O'). A I'ecuSiar Accident. Chicago, SepL SO. A most peculiar acci dent occurred yesterday afternoon in theLibbj prison. Many were frightened and some confusion resulted. C. II. Butter of New Albany, Ind.. and George Michaels, who saw the affair, tell the following story: "Besting against one of the idllars were n number of old war muskets. No one was nearer than five feet to them. Suddenly one of the muskets was discharged, the contents tearing a hole in the ceiling above. The report was terriüc. and several people were trreatly excited over its suddenness." How the old musket was exploded no on can explain. It had done service during the late war, and some soldier had loaded it in readiness to tire. It was plnecd among the other relies, apparently without being overhauled. The charge must have been in the rille at .least twenty-six years. A Crack at linn I tall. Madison, Sept. 30. Special. The conference adjourned at noon. Base ball and intemperance were denounced.
