TO HIDE ON THE KNICKERBOCKER AND ON VAN DA LI A TRAIN HO. 2.

fleets Fare Is Being Charged On the E*at Trains Already—Railroad Note*.

It is altogether within the range of probabilities that the people of Terre Haute will have to pay more money for riding on the fast trains of the Big Four and Pennsylvania roads after December 1st. The excess fare, If it is charged, jwill be on the Knickerbocker Special arid£*Vandalia train No. 20. Already onj^M£ta^ trains Tunning from Chicago to New York the passenger has to pay excess fair for the fast riding. The trains on these rGaels, as is also the case with the Big Four and Pennsylvania, make the trip between Chlckgo^and New York In two or three houWlefis time than the other regular trains.

The matter has been taken up by the Joint Traffic Association and it Is proposed to make the same rule apply to certain trains between St. Louis and New York. If this is done, and the indications are that it will, the trains on which Terre Haute people will have to pay excess fare are the Big Four's Knickerbocker and No. 20 on the Vandalia, The roads, however, may have something to say about this. They may not want to charge their patrons excess fare, for it is said Traffic Manager McCormick of the Big Four has stated he would lengthen the time of running the Knickerbocker before he would sanction the excess fare charge.

Waiting For the

Big:

Gans.

Every superintendent, trainmaster, clerk, conductor, firemen, c^r greaser and section hand in the employ of the Vandalia is anxiously waiting to get a view of the distinguished party of Eastern officials which will roll into Terre Haute this afternoon from the North. Receiver Malott went to Chicago Wednesday to Join the party and he will pilot them over the Vandalia system. The train carrying the party will arrive about 6 o'clook this evening, coming down from the Michigan division. Nothing will be done hy the officials In the way of looking around until tomorrow morning. For five hours, however, they will tramp over the property of the great system in this city.

The Ei R. Purchase.

The. purchase ol' the Evansvllle and Richmond railroad by John R. Walsh, of Chicago, will prove important to the oolitic stone district of Indiana. Mr. Walsh already owns the Bedford Belt railway, which connects almost all the quarries in Lawrence county, and it is stated that the Evansville and Richmond, which runs from Elnora to Ccymour, has been ought by him to give Hi outiet to the i3ed.or? quar conoany. delinquent lax of Jackson county with the understanding that the Walsh trade was to be made. Two thousand new stone cars are to be bought and added to the rolling stock of the Walsh company.

Railroad Notes.

There will be an excursion on the E. & T. H. to Evansville next Sunday. The fare will be $1.60.

A switching crew in the E. & T. H. yards while at work Wednesday night "kicked" some cars against one of the "bumpers" at the freight house so hard that it was broken. The car left the trucks and was hurled out onto the sidewalk on Main street.

E. O. McCormick, passenger traffic manager of the Big Four, has sent notice to all ticket agents to stop the sale of tickets to Galveston and intermediate points on account "-of yellow fever. Tickets can be sold to Columbia, Houston and Velasco, subject to quarantine regulations.

Next week in some departments at the Vandalia shops the men will be placed on the nine hour schedule. There is plenty of work to be done, but it is too dark for them to see and one hour will be taken off the working time. Other departments will continue at the ten hour schedule.

As a result of the investigation into the cause of the C. & E. I. wreck at Cayuga three weeks ago, all engineers have been ordered to keep their trains under control until the "home" semaphore is reached. Several instances where the "distant" semaphore has indicated a clear track while the "home" signal showed a "block."

The Terre Haute car works is turning out a number. of cars to the Vandalia. They are old cars sent to the car works for a general overhauling. The company needed the cars at once and as its repair department was overworked they were ordered sent to the Terre Haute Car & Manufacturing Co. The road is still feeling the general car famine.

IN DEFENSE OF HIS WIFE.

Governor Atkinson Makes a Statement Regarding Her Trial.

Glenville, W. Va., Oct. 14.—Governor Atkinson, who has hitherto kept still about the trial of his wife, has made a statement ef which the following are the principal points: "I have hitherto said nothing for publication in this case, except to merely state thai I know the prosecution was actuated by malice and hatred. It is a family quarrel, and the public knows that they are the mosii bitter disputes. I have heard every sentence »f the testimony given in the case. Independent of the law, which, in my judgment, doe^not class this case as a probable forgery,' and independent also of the fact that, In my opinion, it was error to admit testimony on other matters, which can not be directly connected with the crime set out in the indictment, I am clearly of the opinion ^hat several witnesses, and, indeed, all the ,jreal testimony upon which the case hinged, had been induced to testify for a sansideration. '.'X am led to this conclusion by the demeanor of the witnesses while testifying on the witness stand and by the fact and jlrcumstances connected with their testimony. coupled with the further fact that 'he offers were made to other witnesses or Ihei'r representatives to pay money to them

said Camden that at the time the will of Judge Canden was About to t© probated t*rious other letters were •written, to her, threatening newspaper publication unless a large sum of money was paid, and which if paid, it was promised relative to her that prior to her marriage toe another similar anonymous letter was seat to her, threatening her with other troubles, including newspaper- publications, which would be thrown across her pathway. Tho d©ands made in these anonymous black mailing letters were not acceded to nor complied with, and the result was that the vilest of vile publication appeared against her in newspapers. "In my honest, unbiased judgment, she is guilty of no crime whatever, and most Certainly [the crime of aiding and abetting in uttering the forged papers charged against her in the indictment was in no sense proved in the trial of this case. "I have been actuated in this matter alone by a desire to protect the estate of my grandfather from the merciless rapes of conspiring ercenaries, and to pove to the world that Judge Camden, in his declining years, instead of losing that sterling sense of Justice and love of his children which had always characterized the life of this noble man, was the pitiful victim of misplaced confidence in those by whom he was surrounded in his old age, and that his ental integrity, which he retained until the last, compelled a resort to damnable forged processes to blacken his fair name and steal the birth rights of his children. I thing t.he world now knows this."

FAURE BANQUETED

IT WAS IN COMMEMORATION OF BIS VISIT TO RUSSIA.

The President Says. .^Trance Given Every Proof Thai.' Devoted to

Republicanism.

Paris, Oct. 14.—Prdrifletit Faure was banquetted this evening tfn commemoration of his recent visit to Russia.'"' The entertainment took place in the hall of the Commercial Exchange, and was organized by the merchants and manufacturers of France, of whom there were about 750 present.

M. Goy, president of the tribunal of commerce, who presided, toasted the president, and in so doing referred to the pleasure which all present experienced "at renewing the respectful homage and gratitude" extended to tne president of France on his Teturn from Russia.

Continuing, M. Goy said: "This demonstration is unique in the history of France. Commerce and industry placed their confidence In the republic the day after the disasters of 1870, and they have not been deceived."

President Faure In reply said: "I am pleased to And myself In the society of business men where I can rely upon a friendly reception by virtue of my own origin., if which I am always proud. Let me tell you how deep was my emotion when Paris declared the patriotic satisfaction felt at'the consequence of the words exchanged between the emperor and its president. I repeat in order to place the country face to face with its responsibilities that It is owing to its great Wisdom and political spirit that the democracy Is able to rejoice at the results obtained. It has known how to prove that the republican Institutions to which it is unalterably attached guarantee peace at home and insure abroad that continuity of views and intentions failing which nothing can be solidly and durably established. It seems as if it ought to definitely fix the destinies of the nations of old Europe and determine their respective positions in the world.

The needs and resources of countries which only yesterday were closed to all European contact have been revealed. It is for us to secure for France a large share and without losing a moment *o go forth to the conquest of new markets. "Hasten, under penalty of being antlclpoted by our foreign competitors, and of having France excluded from the position which its capabilities and unquestioned commercial integrity give it the right to seek. Where a Frenchman is, t^ere .is France. "All nations Inspired by an admirable emulation, demand ample place in this splendid festivity of labor, progress, and peace. France rtflunts upon you to participate in a way worthy of the traditions of France. Forward then gentlemen, forward In the initiative and accomplishment for the glory and the greatness of the country."

The trial of this case has been in eoaie measure a contest between the two greai: political partiei- Qf Canada. The Conservatives hoped tpf bring out damaging facts enough against the Liberals during the trial to cause the downfall «f the latter party. Mr. Tarte has been for years a political organizer. At first be wis th? mainstay 'in that direction of the Conservatives and then for some reason he publ'shel a number of letters which compromised the Conservatives and caused the celebrate! McGreevy trial, which caused the retirement of Sir Hector Langevin and the imprisonment of several members of parliament and gave the first blow to the party which had then been in power for nearly seventeen years. As a reward for his services to the Liberal party, it has been asserted, he was made minister of public works when Sir Wilfred Laurier came into power.

RESCUE FROM PRISON

CARL DECKER TELLS HOW HE LIBERATED EVANGELINA CISNEROS.

TEE RE HAUTE UTRBSfiS. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15,1897.

Great Chances Were Taken to Get the Girl Aboard a Vessel Bound For America.

New York, Oct. 14.—Carl Decker, one of the rescuers of Evangelina Cossio cisneros from the Spanish prison in Havana, arrived in this city on the Spahish line steamer Panama this afternoon. He said: "I was commissioned!, to go to Cuba and deliver Senorita Cisneros from the filthy Recojidas prison. I started from New York August 23th, determined to free the woman, thou^A I did not see. my way clear as to the play, to be adopted. After reaching Havana' many plans suggested themselves to me*/ but each one proved impracticable. I triejf to bribe the Jailer, but he wanted |16,00p .for the pob and positive assurance that b# and his family could get to the United Stated This was too rich a proposition for me." (0..Supreme

Mr. Decker repeated the story of the re/» cue from the jail as already told in the^ dispatches and then related what happens^ after the girl was out of prison. He said

To reach the steamer for New York she was obliged to walk down Obispo street, the principal thoroughfare of Havana, at a time when the street was crowded and yet take her time and smoke a cigar. If she had skulked about the back streets she would immediately have been suspected. It was over a mile from the house to the pier. She had a passport made out uuder an assumed name. All the steamships anchor out in the stream. Senorita Cisneros walked down from the house clad as a rancher, and my companion and I followed. She got on the launch and when the launch returned from the vessel and she was not in it we knew that the scheme had worked like a charm. "The day after the jail break, the town was astir over the escape. A nouse to bcuse search was begun and would have been kept up had not a telegram from Minister Dupuy de Lome at Washington Informed Weyler that the girl was on the high seas and expected any day in New Yo-k. Then Weyler was mad. He threw the jailer, Jose Quintans, into jail, whereupon the Jailer to!d about my attempting to bribe him. This in connection with the surmise of De Lome placed suspicion on me. I gave it out that I was going to take a steamer for Mexico. There was only one steamer leaving Sunday, and that was the Spanish steamer. I waited for instructions from New York and had almost made up my mind to start Sunday, Instructions or no instructions. My instructions came, happily.

My passport was made out in the name of Karl Decker. In order to take the Panama Sunday night and run the gauntlessa I must get my passport vized, and stamped with the seal of the secretary of the capr tain general. I knew that my passport would never be signed and I learned that an order for my arrest was determined on and that I was to be arrested at 5 o'clock Monday morning. I was In a bad pickle. I got a glimpse of the writing of Senor Carjoval, secretary of Weyler, and copied so that, I had it down fine. Then I forged the vlsq.

the Panacea'and watch for me. They arrest all prisoners at 5 o'clock in the morning. They 'twere sure. I would be in town oh Monday aid they were fooled."

Senorita Coasio Cisneros received a number if jisitors at the Hotel Waldorf today, among them Gen. Julio Sanguilly, Henry George, Tom L. Johnson and ex-Postmaster Charles W. Dayton.

It is Dedicated at Springfield, O., In the Presence of Many People. Springfield, O., Oct 14.—In the presence of thousands of people the first Pythian home in thejfworld was dedicated this afternoon, the official declaration of dedication being made l?y John W. Winn, grand chancellor of Ohifl of the Knights of Pythias. The exercises, were on the home grounds and consisted, of speeches by Past Supreme Chancellors Howard ^Douglass, of Cincinnati Walter B.

The event signalizes the completion of one part of the splendid administration building, which, with a large cottage, is now occupied by a large number of orphans, wards of the order. Jpseph Willett, of Schillar Lodge, Cincinnati, had a serious attack of apoplexy during the exercises.

COUNTY TREASURER.

SOME MISTATEMENTS CONCERNING THE ATTITCDE OF THE TWO MEN.

There Was No Agreement Between Mr. Sanford and Mr. Walsh, and There .Will Be No "Knockout." ,,

In regard to the constitutionality of the new law respecting the terms of county treasurers there

hi'6

been two adverse de

clsions in local courts this past week. A special judge at Noblesville decided that the law is unconstitutional and the case will be appealed at once .o the Supreme Court. In Daviess county the same decision was reached, but for a different reason.

In the latter case the present -Incumbent had served for four years. In his ruling on the demurrer the court said the new law "^nacted last March was constitutional in the abstract, but unconstitutional as to tha individual. Where the incumbent has •erved four years In a constitutional office the legislature cannot postpone the expiration of said office to a time which would make the incumbent's time longer than four years.

Thig is in accordance with the provision whereby a county treasurer cannot serve a period of more than four years in six, which would be the case should he hold over- until next January.

The Evening Gazette gives ven: to the following comment on the matter, as tcuchingi,upon the situation in Vigo: "The law passed by the last legislature fixing January 1, 1898, as the date for treas-urers-elect to take office, has been declared unconstitutional by two courts Lu this state. If the decision Is sustained by the Sup vmo Court it will prove a knockout for Treasurer Sanford and a victory for Treasurer-elect Walsh of this county. Mr. Walsn made formal demand for his office in August last and was refused by Treasurer fanford, who maintained that the new law gave hicn the right to serve until January 1st. ch gentlemen agreed to abide by the decrs-.on of the suit then pending in another part of the •tate."

Hight here the Gazette makes an egregious mistake. Once more it has either been misinformed, or has fallen onto the error of taking too much for granted. The case in Daviess county has not the least bearing on the relations between Mr. Sanford and the the relations between Mr. Sanford and the treasurer-elect. Mr. Sanford has served but two years. Mr. Sanford himself is authority for the statement that there was no agreement of any sort between the two as to a possible ruling in any other county. The present treasurer when asked in regard to the matter spoke as follows: "There have never been any words between myself and John L. Walsh. He formally made his claim lor the office in August, which, of course, I refused, having as a reason the new law, prpviding that I should hold over till the first of' the year, and that he should take the ipfltlce at that time. There Is a perfect understanding between us. ''There has never been any agreement between Mr. Walsh and myself as to what I should do in case of the result of any case Spending in local courts. Of course we both understand that we should be governed by the action of the Supreme Court, if that body jruled on the matter.

Then it is also untrue that, should the Court possibly decide the law to unconstitutional, its action would be a •victory' for the treasurer-elect and a 'knockout' for me. Mr. Walsh has plainly said he would not consider it so. He docs not wish to take the office until the first of the year, for obvious reasons. In that case he would be able to serve for two whole years. Then he would begin his duties with a new tax duplicate, which is a very considerable advantage."

Alternates In Bnslness.

The successful business man of today must need be aiert, or he will not win all the faculties must be strained to the utmost, and, while the excitement of business life whets the appetite for it, in the end nature demands her pay for being constantly outraged. The busineaB man, after being frequently warned, finds himself unable to concentrate his reasoning power, and his nerves give way. One of the greatest enemies that business men contend with is sleeplessness, the thought of possible trouble tomorrow drives away sleep tonight, and loss of sleep is destruction.

The greatest physician and specialist In all nervous and chrouic complaints today is Dr. Greene. He is great by reason of his discoveries, one of which is the world famed Nervura, and by his unvarying success in treating the nervous ills of men and women. The bsauty and simplicity of operation of Dr. Greene's remedies are mo6t strongly evidenced in the wonderful cures they are effecting.

TWA8 CRUEL, CRUEL

OrriCCK FEDDERSON THOUGHT HE HAD A BCRGtAR BUT HI DIDN'T.

It Was Only Hubby, Who Came Home Very Late and Wai Trying to Get In at the Back Door.

The ever watchful policeman ondoubtedly sees more of life and placed In more peculiar position* than any class of men. If they make a mistake they are condemned by everybody an If on* of t*em chances to become involved In a joko of any kind everybody soon knows it.

Frank Fedderjon, one ot the new additions to the force, is just now exposing himself to lockjiw, Veiling bis many frnds how he caught a outglar Tuesday uight. It was about 2 o'clock in tho morning when Fedderson caugat the night prowler. He brought the felolw out Into the light with the muzzle of a revolver pressed against the fellow's head. The shrinking individual was holding his hands above his head and any false move on his part meant he would have been very quickly transferred into the New Jerusalem.

Fedderson was walking east ont Main street Tuesday night when he heard a door just behind him close. Then a woman's voice called him and as the woman came rushing toward him she panted, "O, Mr. Policeman come quick, come quick. There is a burglar trying to get into our house!" "Where Is he?" asked the officer, a little bit startled at the information, but all in all reasonably calm, and at the same time reaching down and bringing tAslight very formidable looking revolver^th/. "He's out back of theo housed shuddered the woman. "He's- been trying- to get into the house for half an hour

AT. have died

a dozen deaths lying there iai bed* listening to him. He is working With tha lock on the kitchen door just around the corntr of the house there."

The officer told the wom*n to go *td wake up1'some of the neighbors. He saw she was terribly excited. The woman Lurried into a neighboring house and Fedderson proceeded to do his duty as a policeman. There were several little dreauw passing through his mind. He thought of the good catch he was soon to make. Llks all policemen he was anxious to have a record made of tho fact that he had caught a burglar In the act. He wanted his cl-'ef to know he was alive to duty and then he wanted to experience the secsaUM which goes through an individual when is brought face to face with a real, live house breaker.

Slowly and with a cat's tread t&e policeman edged his way toward the back door of the house. He stopped and -istined again. This time he was. sure he h_v\rl a noise and it was as me woman had said—it came from the back door, Someom was un doubtedly tampering with the lock. Cir* fully, his eart almost in his tnroat. '.he policeman edged tic:{* until ne cmil-l po.-ve his head around the corner of the house. There was tho burglar. His shoes were on the porch by the door and he was making a vigorous attack on the lock. His back waa toward the policeman, who lost no time in taking advantage of the opportunity. With a shout of "Hands up," he Jumped around the corner and shoved the gun in the fellow's facc.

The man who was working at the door staggered back, but he threw up his hands just the same. The next command from the officer was for him to step out under the light. This the fellow did with the assistance of the officer, who, holding, the muzzle of the gun against his head, was using the other to push him along. The prisoner declared he was all right that h,e lived in the house. The policeman didn't believe him, however, and marched his man out to the sidewalk, where were three or four frightened women huddled together. "Well, here's your burglar all right," said Fedderson. "You women go down to the stable and call the wagon."

But the women didn't go. Instead the wdman who called the policeman into the case sprang forward, saying, "Why, it's hubby it's hubby."

It was indeed hubby and hubby was decidedly "tight." He had removed his shoes in order not to awaken his wife and sought entrance to the house by way of the back door. He Was experiencing the same old trouble wheil captured by the policeman he couldn't find the key hole in the doof. It would hardly. be fair to tell hubby's name. He treats mamma nicely all the time and Tuesday night was the first time he had ever gone so far from the straight and narrow path as to be compelled to resort to removing his shoes and trying to get in at the back door.

Delinquent Boarder Tries to Use It on His Mistress' Throat.

A narrow escape from tri^edy yesterday was a continuation and second act in a case of the court first mentioned in The Express last week.

FOR A HEINOUS CBIME

UNNATURAL FATHER ARRESTED KOK attempted incest.

Crime Was Committed On the First of Sep^ tember. Bat He Promised to Leave .the Coantry.

The county jail lost night held one of the worst brutes its walls bad enclosed for many a day. The man ts George Taylor, who, %lth his wife, daughter end ageJ father, li /es at 1022 Spruce street. The daughter of this unnatural parent is a pretty, -lemuro girl of 20, and, according to the opinion of the neighborhood, Is a good girl, with most exemplary habits.

TEA INTOXICATION.

The Decoction of the Leaf Is AliBMt ®s Jftgful as Alcohol. Those good persons who come under the bead of tea and toast philosophers and tea drinkers generally will be interested In the statement of a mod leal authority that the juice of the tea leaf ranks second only to alcohol as an intoxicant.

Dr. James Wood of the Brooklyn health board has compiled some statistics bearing on this subject, and he finds that of all the patients applying for treatment at the chief dispensary of the City of Churches no less than 10 per cent are tea drunkards.

They are not aware of the fact, but the symptoms of their cases point unmistakably to overindulgence in tea, and that presumption or inquiry is confirmed by thoir confessions. They suffer from headache, vertigo, insomnia, palpitation of the heart, mental confusion, nightmare, nausea, hallucinations, morbid depression of spirits and sometimes from suieidal impulses.

Dr. Wood sums up his investigation in Tbe Medical News and says that the patients referred to were of both sexes and all ages. They confessed to drinking from pints, the minimum amount stated, to 15 pints of tea each day. More than half of the patients wero of Irish birth or descent, and nearly a third wero domestic Ecivants.

In Ireland tea poisoning has long been recognized as a widely prevalent evil, contributing largely to the number of Inmates of insane asylums, oto., find It is a well known fact that the most inveterate drinkers of tea in this country are domestica of Celtic origin who apparently bring tho habit with them to America.
