i :y. 4 teal o WEDNESDAY J-c,e TWO CENTS. TOPEKA; KANSAS, OCTOBER 30, 1895. WEDNESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. SHIS HEJD IT. Coulter, the Murderer Confesses He Killed Ulston, But Says It Was Done by Accident. AX UNLIKELY STORY, The Murderer Brought Within Two Miles of Topeka And a Midnight Hearing Held Before Justice Marple. IS THEN TAKEN AWAY And Landed in the Penitentiary at Lansing. Scenes at Valley Falls After the Identification. David (not Abe) Coulter of Valley Falls ia in the penitentiary today a con fessed murderer, lie admitted last even ing to the officers that he shot Edward Ulston but says that the shot was tired accidentally. He denies that a second shot was fired and say3 that ha stuffed the handkerchief iu the boy's mouth to stifle his groans because a man was going along the road south of him and he wa3 afraid his attention would be at tracted. II 8 dragged the body into the grass on the praino and took the team because he was frightened, lie thought that the body would never be found. That is the story told by the murderer to the officers at tha home of Justice ilarple, two miles n mil of Topeka last rughr. Whit ho said was without show of embarrassment and with no more dif fidence, than if he had been telling of a hunting trip. There was no evidence of regret and not a tiling iu the conversa tion of the young mm which wou.d iudi cate that he was the least concerned about the affair. lie stood County Attorney Safford up in the middle of the floor and illustrated how the fatal shot was fired just as if ho was in the habit of shooting people every day. lie seems to be a monstrosity of cruelty. Tlio murderer is but eighteen years old and so far as is known has never been arrested before. He is about live feot seven inches in height and weigh per haps Hi') pounds. Hi? eyes are gray and they indicate detei mmatioa and pne wi;o would look at the face of tiie boy would conclude that he would hesitate at nothing. His face is oval and his chin heavy. Hi s hair is very dark red and could more properly be called brown. Ho speaks witn a ready fluency an 1 uses the best of language. There is no element of b;;shf i;loos3 in dii3 makeup. A person well acquainted wiih people would at once determine that the murderer could tell a falsehood just aj glibly as he would the truth and would never waut for a story to tit any occasion. lie is left handed and when be illustrated how he U3ed his gun he placed a broom E.t his left should-T. There is no evidence of insanity in any thing he says and there i3 no doubt that he is wholly accountable. Ho is one of these young men who enjoy being caded "tough" and he has a swagge wliich would graeo a prize fighter. He is an indication of the kind of creature the 'Fourt' street gang" ia this city is graduating. When he illustrated how young Ills ton met his death he became very much interested and continually addressed the officers as "my friends'," as if he had been in the habit of giving his experi ence at a prayer meeting or participat ing in debates at a coantrv literary socie ty, lie has no fear of mob violence and says, "1 know I am in a bad lix and I will have to get out of it the best wav I can." He has all the evidences of being a murderer by in3tinct and there is not the least doubt that the cruel murder was committed for the old team and wagon, which the murderer afterward persisted he had received as payment for his work Jor a farmer at Severy. About eleven o'clock last icrht the sheriff and chieT of pollcD brought David Coulter to tha house of Justice .Marpio for a preliminary hearing. No one was informed of the intentions of the officers because of the belief that there was danger of lynching. Thoro in the pre sence of the officers tha murderer told his story. "I rode with the boy,'" said he, "until Bear the corner where the road turns south, and he stopped the team and wo shot at a mark. I was shooting at a fence post 01 the north side of the road and the Ulston boy stood by, watching the shots. I had fired several when I turned and shot into a telephone pole on the other side of the road. "Don't shoot that wav,' said the bov, 'shoot at the post.' Ail riirht, I said, I will. "I had just put another load in the pun and started to turn around to shoot at the post when my foot caugtit in some thing and I stumbled." Tno boy illustrated with the broom the position iu which he held the gun. holding the end atasligut angle toward the head of the countr at torney. "Joist a3 it reached this position ho continued, "it went off and Ulston fBU to the ground shot in the head. He was moaning and there was a nun on horse back going south on the road and I was afraid he would hear and I puiled mv liandkerchier out and stuffed it in the boy a mouth. I did not hor him moan any more after that. I then dragged him to the fence and rolled him under the wire and got over and dragged him into the grsa and tried to cover him up and then I took the team and drove east .road loaJ"'ns? north. I did not think that the body of the bov would ever be found, and when I had turned north on the road I shoveled out part of the sand to lighten the load, and when I got a little farther I threw out the rest. I was so scared that I hardly knew what I was doing. "After I had unloaded the sand I drove straight home and gave the team to my father in Valley Falls. I stopped in To peka, at my uncle's, but no one was at home and I saw no one. I do not know anything about a second shot, for I did not shoot the boy a second time. I never thought about him being found. When I started to Topeka, I intended to give myself up, but 1 changed my mind when I got there." Justice Marple bound the murderer over to the January term of the district court without bond, and he was taken to ?ileriden last night and this morning Sheriff Burdge lauded him in the peni tentiary at Lansing, where he wilt be kept until all faars of lynching disap pear. There was little excitement in Topeka last night and the murderer could have bean taken up Kausas avenue without danger of mob violence. A few people went down to the Santa Fe depot to meet the Atchison train, but they were act uated only by curiosity to see the pris oner. IDEMIF11XU THE MURDERER. Details of VTliat Tok l'laca at Vall.'y Falls Lust XiUt. Vallec Fails, Oct. 30. The identi fication of David Coulter by Sturgis Bechtol was complete. A large crowd of people followed the officials to the city jail, and Sheriff Burdge aud Chief Wiikersun would occasionally glance back anxiously at the increasing sizj of the crowd, and it took some reassuring words from Marshal Stoekwell to allay their fears. They were afraid of Judge Lynch presiding in case young liechtol should identify tho prisoner as the villain that committed ttse cold blooded murder of young Ulston two weeks ago. Xj one was allo.ved inside the jail except the officials and the Jocunal correspondent. When the marshal unlocked the door leading to the steel cage in w'tich wia young Coulter, the young m.iu who was to identify hita was brought forward to a position where he could get a good view of tho prisoner. Coulter was lying on his cot with his face covered, and when he came to the steel door and faced the crowd there was no sign of lear in his countenance. He did not sern to reuiiz-.-the awful position he was in, or what was wanted of him, but when ho saw youug liechtol his lips quivered and a look of fear and recognition came into his eyes. He evidently had seen tho young man somewhere before, but no word escaped his lips. Alter looking silently at him for nearly a ininuie, young liechtol turned and stepped out of the ceil corr'dor. There were tears i.i his eyes and his voice quavered when he pronounced the word? tuat sot at rest a'! doub'S as to Coulter being the mur derer. The identification was complete. Tuerj w-as no doubt or hesitancy about it. When the. Journal- correspondent asked liechtol if ho was certain he had mado no mistake in the identification, he answered: "No sir, 1 am as sure he is the fellow as that I am living. Do you think I could forget his lace or how he was dressed. 1 would know him among a thousand. sir, 1 havo made no nits- take, that is the very same fellow I met on the roai that day, and talked with." "lint you know you said in your de scription of tho fellow to the officers that he had a short moustache, aud that fel low in there never had a moustache, how do you account for that?" ''Well, I will tell you. I was mistaken, I see, by saying he had a moustache. 1 thought he did have ouc, but he was so dirty that. I must have thought the dirt was a moustache. He has been washed and cleaned up since I saw him last, and that makes a difference you know. I can sco now that I was mistaken in sav ing ho had a moustache.'' The party then lelt the jail and wont to the livery stable where Officer Stock well had put tho team aud wagon. The boy identified the property and the last link was f jrged aud the chain of identifi cation was made complete. Last evening it Jouen'al reporter visit ed the home of G. L. Coulter, the father of the young man, who lives in a small, unpretentious house in tho north part of town. The family were all at home, but in bed when the reporter called at 0 o'c ock. Repeated knocking brought them to the door, but the father said he had no statement to make for pub lication, lie said he could not bel.eve his son would commit a murder, although circumstances wero against him at present. David was eighteen years old the tj'Jth of this month, aud was born in Valley Falls. Niue years a;:o they moved to Topeka, whero they lived sev?r.il years, and from there they moved to Osage City. They moved back here about a year ago, and David went to work for a man named John Savage, near Severy. Kan. He worked there until some time in August, and siuco that time he has been tramping arouud over the country. He said that the boy had never been iu trouble before that he knew of, and was of a quiet, retiring disposition. He had always been a great boy for home, and was never mean or v.ciuus. He was a gre.it hunter, and always had a gun. O.i the 19 h of this month, about 11 o'clock at night, the boy came hem', driving the team that was identified yes terday as being tho team stoien from young Ulston. lis gave it to his father to use and went to work for a farmer seven miles west of town. The father used the team and the fact that he had not previously owned a team caused some comment among his neighbors. Officer Stockv.ell bee nine suspiciuus and went to work to find out where he got the team. When the Jouuxal camo out Jionday evening with an account of the murder of young Iiitson, aud a description of the missing team, the officer at once conclnded he was on the track of the murderer. He placed youug Coulter under arrest, and took cnarge of the property. The sequel proves that he w,is on the right track and that be has made no mistake. COULTER IN LKAVE.VITOBIII. Ti ej Murderer of lllatTt Pluend l.i Leav enwur Jail. Leavenworth, Kans., Oct. 30. Dav id Coulter, the confessed murder er of Edward Ulston, near Tope ka, and who was captured at Valle.v Falls, was brought here today bv Sheriff Burdge of Shawnee county, and placed in the city jail. He will be removed to Lansing penitentiary to keep lynchers away from him. MILITIA C&LLED OR. Gov. Clarke Orders the State Troops to Assemble. Companies Are to be Sent to Hot Springs Tonight. THO OPS EAGER TO GO. Are Supplied With Ammunition aud Heady to March. Many Believe the Fiffht Will Still Take Place. Little Rock. Ark, Oct 30. Governor Clarke has called out the First regiment of militia to stop the fight between Cor belt and Fiiziimtnons. Companies at Pine Biuff, Helena, Cabot, and Jackson ville have been ordered to be ready to march this afternoon and the McCarthy light guard, Fletcher rifles and Eagle JAMES J. COKBETT, Champion of the World. light battery of this city have also been notified to bo ready to movo at 1 p. in. Telegrams from the captain of tho Helena company say that he has 48 men ready to march with 1,000 rounds of ammunition. Forrest City has 38 men with pientv of cartridges and all eager for the trip. The plan is to send about 100 iailitiaT.en to Hot springs from this city today, and mass the other companies in Little Rjck, so that they may be sent to Hot Springs early tomor row. The object in sending the Little Reck companies now is to havo them on the grounds at once to assist the civil au thorities should they wantoutsido assist ance. Tho governor is still determined that the liht shall not occur. He says tho supreme moment has come aud ho proposes !o eshaust every resource at his command. Gen. Taylor, the commander of the Etalo militia, was in consultation with Gov. Clarke this morning and Adjutant General Whipple and Col. Hollenberg of the First regiment are perfecting the arrangements for the movement of the t roo ps. Little Rock Ark., Oct. 33. Xo or ders io move to Hot Springs have been issued to the militia up to 1 43 p. m. It is said that the governor is awaiting tho outcome of the case at Hot Springs, wherein Corbett was arrested on a Gar land county warrant. When that case i3 disposed of the Pu laski county warrant wiil be served. If service be resisted then the militia will be at once sent there by special train to serve the papers. Trouble is expected when the militia reaches Hot Springs. The'.r first duty will be to arrest oru of the pugilists and as tho Garland county officers are using every effort to protect them from Gov. Ciarke a conflici of authority is certain, and a conflict at arms 13 not whoiiy im probable. It is well known that the Garland county officers are working against the governor. A warrant has just been is5ued for the arrest of Sheriff Houpt of Garland county, who is now engaged in an effort to got Fitzsimmons to Hot Springs. Tho warrant was issued by Judge Martin of the Pulaski county circuit court. Fitzsimmons will not pass through Texarkana. Ho was met at JIarshail, Texas, by Sheriff lloupt and the party at once left on a special train for Shreve port. The ronte from that place will be through Alexandria and Piue Biuff, thence over the Cotton Belt to Camdeo, from Camden to Gurdon, and thence to ila'vern. Governor Clarke has this informa tion from his detectives, and the sheriffs of Clarke, Lafayette and Ouachita counties havo been notified to arrest Fitzsimmons and Julian and hold thorn for the sheriff of Pulaski county. As the party are on u spocial train, however, it is improbable that they will be arrested. The special train wiil avoid making stops at points where officers ars likely to be encountered. Hot Stkisgs, Ark., Oct. 30. Hot Springs is on tip-toe with hand to ear, face south westward. The points from which tidings are eagerly awaited are lexarkana and Louisville, for at one of these places Fitzsimmons is expected to euter the state. Upon the success with which the Aus tralian meets in his attempt to elude the ofileers of the law, who have been await ing him on the boundary line for the past forty-eight hours, depends the solu tion of the absorbing question, whether or not the contest for the heavyweight championship of the world will occur in this state. If Fitzsimmons, who is expected to reach Texarkana this afternoon, falls into the hands of efficers of Pulnski county armed with warrants issued by Judge Martin at Little Rock, the chances for a meeting with Corbett will be greatly lessened. If he be placed under arreBt by the officers of Garland county, who also await him, those who are anxious to h.ave the fight ptillled off believe the event is certain, basing their belief upon the as sumption that Fi'Ziimmona will thus be takcu out of the jurisdiction of the state authorities and brought to this city. Attorney General Kinsworthy came in on an early train from Little Rock, and he and Representative South are closely watching the legaT phases of the contro versy. It is known that Gov. Ciarke is kept constantly informed as to every movement made to thwart his efforts to prevent the meeting of tho pugilists and that he is determined to exhaust all the power at his command to accomplish that end Hot tPKisas, Ark., Oct. 33. The an nouncement from Little Rock that Governor Clarke had placed the state militia under waiting orders produced no perceptible effect upon the leaders of the local sorting fraternity, who by the way are identical with the citizens committee. Such a step on the part of the executive nuthoritie3 had been ex pected and surprised nobody. It is thought this action was taken to prepare for the emergency of Fitzsimmons falling into tho hands of Sher ff Houpt's officers r.t Texarkana aud being brought to this city. The crowd is being augmented with the arrival of every train. Mi.Mi'His. Tenn.", Oct, 30. Tha Iron Mountain office in this city has afluming sign exposed which reads: Official The prize fight between Cor bett aud Filzsimmons will positively oc cur at Hot Springs on October 31.

CniCAGO, Oct. 30. Parson Daviea and prty reached Chicago this morning aud left almost immediately on the Wabash for Hot Springs, being due there at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. A number of local sporting men were at the depot to sea them off. In the party were John Ryan, Tommy Ryan, Harry Pidgeon, Dr. McNamara, Mr. J. J. Johnson of New York and John L. Sulli van and wife. John L. Suilivan ha3 been engaged by a Xew York newspaper to sit beside the ring in which Corbett and Fitzs'mmous appear, if they do face each other and report the light. FLYING TUUOUttil KANSAS. Tho Santa Fe's "ew I'"at Tr;ila IIow It Looks. The fastest, most perfectly equipped, and handsomest through train ever put on wheels arrived in Topeka this morn ing at 1(5:53, being the first fast train of the new Santa Fe California limited trains which was inaugurated with the new tlino card, starting Item Chicago last evening at 0:00 o'clock. The train consisted of one baggage car, one chair car, one dini.ig car, two Puliman compartment cars, and one Pullman drawing room observation car, ali perfectly equipped and presenting a handsome appearance. The two Pullman compartment cars, "Fuciuo" and "Drave," and the Pullman drawing room observation car "Guiana," wero built with several others especially for this train by the Pullman company, and are an example of the high standard of elegance reached in the modern art of car buildiug. Tho cars are elegantly finished throughout with California redwood, cherry, mahogany and satin wood, and are upholstered with old gold, blue and bronze-green plush. The trimmings are entirely of highly polished brass. A new feature in the construction of the compartment car is the arrangement of the compartments which are equally divided, half being built on each side of the car. The train was heavily loaded on its in itial trip, but very few af the compart ments remaining unoccupied. As this train is the pride of the Santa Fe com pany a number of the officials were at the depot on its arrival the most enthusi asfic of whom was W. J. Black, assistant genera! passenger and ticket agent, who declared th.at it surpassed any train ever before attempted. The train left Topeka at 11:05 a. in, in charge of Conductor L E Ives and En gineer Nate Hoilijter. AHMENIANS EES EL.

Evidence ShowingHolmes'Move ments is Introduced Today. ASKED FOR A SPADE. Inspector Hall of Toronto Ar rives to Testify. Will Say He Loaned Holmes a Spade to Dig Graves. Pnit.ADEi.pni a, Oct. 30. There was but one question passing from lip to lip this morning when the Holmes trial was resumed, that was what will the next sensatiou be? Whether or not Ilolmes is guilty of all or any of the crimes hanging over his head, there is no doubt that the man is a genius an abnormal genius. Last night he recalled the lawyers whom he dis missed the day before, but it is apparent that their presence even hotv is super fluous. It is Holmes who is trying the case. O. La Forest Perry, assistant to the president of the Fidelity Mutual Life as saciation, was called. This is the com pany that was swindled out of the $10,000 for which Pitzei's life was insured, and it was Perry who began the investigation into tho gigantic conspiracy. He tirat ideattfied the policy issued in which Car rie E. Pltzel, the widow, is the bene ficiary. It is dated November 9,1803. Next he identified n recoeipt for ?9,7!5 85, the amount of the policy lens expenses paid to and receipted for by J. D. Howe, the St. Louis attorney who represented .Mrs. Pitzel. This is dated September 24. 1804. Perry was present when Howe received the money. When Holmes came to thie city at the request of the company, to identify the body Howe and Alice Pitzal were in the office. Holmes came in afterwards and was introduced to them. lie and Howo met as strangers, but he said he had met Alice before and she remembered him. Alter the pay ment of the money tho matter was closed until a letter was received by President Fouse of the insurance company from Superintendent of Police Harrigan of st. Loui1-. This contained the declaration of Hed speth, the train robber, that while in jail in St. Louis he had overboard Holmes and Pi'zsl talking of form ing a conspiracy to defraud an insurauce company out of $10,000 by the substitution of a corpse for Pitzel. Inspector Gray of the insurance com pany was sent to St. Louis and inter viewed Hedspeth. On the information thus obtained a warrant was sworn out for Holmes on the charge of conspiracy, and upon this he was arrested in Boston. The witness went to that city and identified Holmes. The latter had made a verbal sta ement to the witness, in the presence of Deputy Superintendent llauscom. Chief of Police Watts and John Cornish, a private detective in Chief Watts office. "1 asked him where Mrs. Pitzel was' paid Perry, "and he replied that he did not care to tell. Then I asked him where Pitzel was and he said he was in South America or on his way there and the boy Howard with him. Alice and Nellie he said were iu London with Minnie Williams lie s dd he had given Howard to hi3 father in Detroit and had sent Nellie and Alice from Toronto on a train on which ho rode a short distance to meet Miunie William?, either at Buf falo or Niagara Falls, I forget which." After an unimportant cross examina tion, Perry was temporarily withdrawn from the stand. Inspector William E. Gray of the in surance company told of a trip to St. Louis where he procured Iledspeth's statement. This was produced, but not yet offered in evidence. In consequence of it the tracking of Hoimes was begun. He was iiist located at Ogdensburg, N. Y., tlii-u at Prescotf, Canada, various points iu New Hampshire, Burlington, Yt., and Bjston. Orrington N. Hansccm, deputy super intendent of police of Boston, di rected Holmes' arrost on a tele gram from Fort Worth, Texas", saying he was wanted there for "larceny of one horse." Holmes smiled at this testimony. When arrested Holmes said he did not waut to go to Fc. Worth, 'but that he would go withf-ut a requisition to Phil adelphia, where ho had defrauded the Fidelity insurance company of $10,000. This was entirely voluntary on Holme' part, Anna B. Robbins, the stenographer who took the examination of Holmes by Deputy llanscom, identified a copy of the statement. District Attorney Graham offered the statement in evidence. When ho had finished the court took a recess. Shortly after noon Inspector llal!, of the Toronto police department, arrived with Sir. Ryvo.-, who is expected to swear that he lent Holmes the spade with which he dug the graves for the Pitzel girls. Ryves lived at 18 St. Vin cent street, next to the house where the bodies were found, acd he was accosted by Holmes over the back fence and asked for the loan of a spade. After recess Francis N. Quinn, a nota ry public, testified to iho sigciag of Fo'tnes' statement regarding his rela tions with Hedspeth in the Sr. Louis jail. 3Irs. Pitzel v. a3 then put upon the Wit ness stand. 3inr?cl Speaker Tonfiit. The Rev, Dr. M. C. B. Mason, of Cin cinnati, Ohio, tiie assistant corresponding secretary of the Freedmen'a Aid and Southern Education society of the M. E. church is in the city and will speak this evening at the Asbury M. E. church, North 'Topeka, corner of Van Buren and Laurent. Dr. AI;:son is said to be one of the mcst eloquent and entertaining speakers of the colored race, and the public is cordially invited to hear him. He will speak on the work of Christian education in the south, and the admis sion ia free. Let everybody hear him. BECKY SHARP DAY. Taking in the Xlcktl (and Sometimes More) for the Orphans Home. Today is "Becky Sharp" Orphans' Home day on Kansas avenue. It's rainy but rain "cuts no ice" when the State Journal starts to do anything good and the long expected, decorated, music dis persing Orphans' Home trolley car, sur rounded with its halo of oharity and joy and evergreen is trailing up and down Kansas avenue wet as it is, crowded with passengers and greeted with Bhouts and smiles. Shortly after 10 o'clock the car started and it is a beauty. It is a bower of roses ana evergreens and asparagus, and flags and the lront windows on Kansas avenue are packed everytime it makes its ap pearance. Its success is financial, too, lor it is playing to standing room only which is going at a premium even out ou the foyers. "Becky Sharp" ia a success as a con ductor. She has a beautiful blue suit cut bias and"shirred with things on the front and brass buttons aud a cap and sleeves and a mansard skirt (a man wrote this) and she rings the bell just as though she were used to it. The windows of tha car are obscured with decorations, evergreen boughs on the outside and asparagus on the inside, with wreath9 of beautiful red and while and yellow roses on the outside and sprays of the same roses oa the inside. T uree hundred roses alone were used on the interior. Ribbons and bunting and flag3 are everywhere inside and out, aud the car is lighted with colored electric lights. It has been specially upholstered iu rich red and pale green. Part of tho Alhambra Mandolin and Gui tar club is furnishing good music. The members playing today are William M. Lyon, J. W. Kraemer and Frank Shel don. They ought to be ever held in warm remembrance by the orphans and the patrons of the home. "Hiss Sharp" has to have an assistant to do the street and station calling for her. His name is James Buzzell, and he is a regular conductor. He is one of the oldest on the line. The molorman's name is E. Si Travis, and ha is a good looking youug man who knows all about tho business. The first cash passenger was Mrs. J. N. Patton. On the arst trip the car carried twenty passengers and in the first hour the register showed 73 fares rung up. Of course a good many of these paid a great deal mure than the regular price, so it will be hard to get at the exact amount of business the car is doing until the receipts are checked up at the end of the day. The noisiest crowd that ha3 been on the car today was a uozsn Washburn col lege student3. who bulged out its sides with the happy "'Rah, 'rah," and left their colors and their card on the center lights. "Becky Sharp" is having experienses by the score, and the readers of the Statk Jouksal will find an interesting "story" about it in tomorrow's paper. On her first trip a well dressed elderly woman sat near the frout with a look on her face that was a bewildering mixture of joy and doubt and almost apprehen sion. As "Miss Sharp" went throuch the car collecting fares tho first time the woman arose, steadying herself against the rocking of the car and the trembling of her declining years and took her by the haud. There were tears in her eyes and she held the woman conduc tor's hand while she said in a voice almost choked with sobs of happiness, '-I am so glad to soe that you do not look like I thought you might. 1 had said to myself that a woman who would do a thing like this must be of the brazen sort, but your face is gentle mid your heart must be kind to do so much for charity." Miss Sharp was almost taken off her feet by this unlocked for speech, but she thankod the old lady kindly and the passengers smiled. A3 the day grew wetter a messenger was sent into a store for a waterproof wrap for tho conductor. When the package came, on the return trip "Miss Sharpjf womanlike, stopped the car until she had tried it on and sent it back bee&use it wasn't just what she wanted. Altogether the car is a great success and the public is with it, and a great deal of credit is due President C. C. Baker and Superintendent J. N. Patton for their kindness and enterprise in see ing that everything was done in the right way. Mr. Patton looked after every necessary detail end tho State Journal is quite sure that he will have his reward in lieaven if not sooner Florists liulse and Bird Rodman did most excellent work on the car, aud it is a beautiful example of their skill and ability. It ia to be hoped that everybody will patronize the car tonight that can and help swell the receipts. Don't be afraid to pay a dollar or a half dollar for your fare. '1 he conductor will not make change if you request her not to do so, in a sufficiently audible tone of voice. The car will run tonight from 5 o'clock till 9. FIRE AT SPRINGFIELD.

A special from Washington says: The confirmation that an armed British force was marching through Brazilian territory to that part of Venezuela claimed by Great Britain, will, it is said, bring the internatioaai dispute to a crisis at once. In some quarters fears are expressed lest the negotiations be prolonged until England gets all tho soldiers she wants in the disputed territory. Possession, in law as in diplomacy, is several points in favor of the aggressor and for possession, England it seems ia playing her trump cards. THE WIIECK VICTIJ1S.

LIFE IN LONDON, An Observing American Paints a Fen Picture of a Great City. A New York business man, who is in England, has written a letter from Lon don to one of his friends, which ia quoted by the Philadelphia Record. "I was in parliament when the lib eral ministers threw up the sponge. There are many curious-looking En glishmen in the house of commons, and I never saw a more motley crowd. There were solemn-looking personages, wear ing wigs; there were strange beings with bald heads and whiskers; there were red-haired and yellow-haired men; there were 100 faces which Sig. Lombroso ought to put in a book. Three-fourths of the members wore their hats in the house, mostly stove pipes and derbies. Nearly all of them were clumsily clad. Some wore-ill-fit-ting dress suits, others cutaways; many had sack coats of all colors, and but few had stylish clothes. Lots of them had trousers that were too short or were too long or very slouchy, while some wore clothes that looked so gro tesque as to suggest Baxter street in New York or Petticoat lane in London. So much for my first impression of tha first assembly of gentlemen in the world. I used to think that the house of representatives at Washington was badly dressed, but I had not seen the British House of Commons. As for brains of parliament,, it seems to me that every man whom. I have heard speak during my four visits to it had a hatful of them, closely packed, wheth er he was a tory, a unionist or a Glad stonian. The speeches In the House of Commons are not in the nature of rant, but are rather plain and direct state ments." There will be a meeting of tha Oxford club at the parlor of the National hotel Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock sharp. Business of importance. Dees your headacheT Try Ona Min ata Headaoh Tablets. J. K.

Jndsre Johnaon Will Preside at the Tria.1 or a Conductor Other Ball read Xevi. When the plan of putting on their fast limited California trains was first con sidered by the Santa Fe, it was the de sire and special endeavor to have a sched ule arranged which would correspond in such a manner with the time of the fast .New York and Boston trains, that perfect connections would bo made, thereby es:ablishiog a train service from the Atlantic to the Pacific, which had never been equalled by any other road. How admirably this plan has been car ried out is now shown by the fact that California train No. 3 connects with all the fast trains from New York and Bos ton, and arrives in Los Angeles exac iy three day3 from the time of leaving Chicago, nuKinjr the time from ocean to tc?an in four days. This train pasted through Topeka for the first time just before noon today. Tne earliest eastern train to Chicago is the Boston "fust express," arriving at 1:50 p. m., and as the Santa Fe train leaves at 0 p. m., the loilgest delay ia only a matter of four hours and ten min utes. This system of train service is without doubt the most perfectly arranged that has ever been attempted, both in regard to equipment and speed. IN RAILROAD CIRCLES.

It Caasftd a Stnta Ft? Ditmiso Sale and is Now in Evidence. John Purcell, foreman of the Santa Fe roond house in this city, went to St. Jo seph, Mo., yesterday afternoon to appear as a witness in a damage suit brought by the relatives of the two men who were killed some months ago by a Santa Fe passenger train on the Atchison and St. Joseph branch while crossing the tracks in the suburbs of that city. The plaintiffs claim that the headlight of the engine was not in proper condi tion, and cj'.ill not be seen at any dis tance, and on these grounds brought suit agra'mst the company for damages. To prove to the contrary and demon strate that the headlight was in perfect workiug order, Mr. Purcell took tha headlight to St. Joe yesterday. A BAD CONDUCTOR.

B. Johnson, master in chancery of the Santa Fe next Saturday. 1 ha case was to have been tried last August in Colorado Springs but owing to the fact that several of the Santa Fe offi cials were unable to be present at the appointed time, the case was simply opened and continued for further hearing- TOill Not Re-LnTor Atonison. The report that the Rock Island would re-enter Atchison and commence to re build their tracks within a few months, seems to be without foundation at the present time, as the assistant general su perintendent's office stated this morning that no advices to that effect had been received.

Captain Knigrht Solves a Problem How to Close Air-Tight the Cracks Under Doors. The linked weather strip, the inven tion of Captain J. Lee Knight of Topeka, a model of which a Jocrsal representa tive has examined, seems to fill all the requirements of keeping out of the room all rain, snow, cold and dust that might enter under the door. The apparatus is fastened in the door and hidden from view. It consists of a train of brass links packed with fine rubber and so arranged that the mere act of shut ting the door automatically closes the crack under it. The links are so arrang ed that no matter how worn the thres hold, te it in the middle or end, the open ing is closed. Captain Knight is an old citizen of To peka, well and favorably known, and his invention seems so far in advance of any thing else for the purpose intended that it will undoubtedly find an extensive market. Its manufacture here should be encouraged by liberal local sales. From a number of testimonials the fol lowing brief extracts are made: Mayor C A. Fellows, practical carpen ter and builder, says: The only strip I ever saw that is absolutely faultless, or that 1 could not find objections to. W. H. Trump, superintendent of build ings, says: It is the beat strip I have ever seen in thirty years' experience, and I cheerfully recommend it to the public. J. H. Stanton, architect, gavs: I am thoroughly pleased with its action under all conditions, and consider it the best thing of the kind on the market. il. Heery, contractor and builder, and now a member of the state board of pub lic works, says: I find the device to be the best that I have ever sees, as there is no other strip that will adjust itself to the ineaualities of a threshold as this will. C H. Holcraft, contractor and prac tical carpenter, says: I think it simply perfection. For inside doors it does away with any necessity for thresholds and closes the oponins; perfectly. John A. AicCail, contractor and builder says: By far the best thing for the pur pose I have ever seen and I heartily recommend it to all. S S. McFadiien, city clerk, says: I have examiued many devices inteudpd to keep out cold and rain but have never found one that seems to be as perfect as this one of Cantain Knight's. George II. Evuus, contractor, said: It is the only "storm proof" weather strip that I have ever seen, and the kind I have been looking fur for thirty years in my business as a contractor. J. C. Holland, state architect, in a most cordial letter to the inventor, says: I Had it to be the most simple and com plete strip I have ever examined. Its automtic adjustment to all irregularities caused by wear aud imperfect workman ship will certainly recommend it, and in titna prove it to be an indispensable article. HOUSE THIEVES ABOUT. Si T teen Head Stolen From a Horse Raiser Near M:-.ple Hill. Sixteen head of horses were stolen from the pasture of J. P, Campbell, five miles south of Maple Hill, Sunday'night. Sir. Campbell was in the city today and yesierdSy trying to find them. This morning a telegram wiis received from his son at Maple Hill stating that the animals had been recovered. It is thought that they were taken from the pasture by XV. B. Adams, who had formerly owued them under a mortgage on them heid by P;rick Brothers of Topeka. He had refused to take them from the pasture last spring and Mr. Campbell was about to sell them to pay for their keeping when they were stolen. THE DOCTOR BACKED OUT. He Did Not Show Himielf to the Populists But Sent a Letter. Dr. J. C. Brownfiold did not appear at the headquarters of the Populist league last night as advertised but he sent his piece which was road by Jolia Kadford, who is a good reader. The Populist3 who were present were dissappointed that Dr. Browfield, thoir probable candidate for congress, was not there, but they liked his piece and Alon zo Wardall was the only man present who had enough nerve to criticise it. Dr. Browntield's piece was on the money question and he wanted it under stood that congress has no right to de monetize either silver or gold, because the constitution of the United Stales is against it. In conclusion Dr. Brownfield paid his respects to local politics add said: "1 could point to many in this city of Topeka who are out in the cold today by reason of promises made by leading politicians in the G. O. P. "Trust in God and him only and even then it tniht be well to see that your powder is dry. "Looking forward to the time when right over wrong shall prevail and that there may be a mighty land slide in the near future, and that the first stone that may be seen in said slide to leave its place and swoop down the mighty Re publican hill side may be the election of Bob Kepley by an overwhelming ma jority; Your friend and well-wisher. 'J. C. Browjj field, M. D." After Mr. Wardall had talked for a while, and told about the rousing recep tion which President Cleveland did not get on his arrival at Atlanta a few weeks ago, Joseph Marshall was called for a speech. Mr. Marshall wanted it understood that he was opposed to voting any more bonds to build bridges or anything else.

Ave. SEEKING A BIG ESTATE. An immense Fortune of an American Sought by French Relatlvee. Chicago, Oct. 30. City official are considerably puzzled over a letter which arrived here a few days aeo from Amiens, France. It was directed to '-Monsieur Le President, do la Chamber des Notaires, Chicago, Amerique," bat as there is no chamber of notaries In this city, the pos tal clerk concluded to try the county clerk, and the letter was turned over to him. In brief the letter said, '-Several French newspapers and particularly the papers of Havre, made the announcement ia 1SS2 that the famous American chemist, John Gundey, one of the richest men in Ohio, had left his immense fortune of $15,000,000 to a Frenchman named Jacques Boyer." A dispatch announces that the joy ex periencd on the receipt of the news of his legacy overcame him and he soon followed his benefactor to the grave. Boyer lived in Chicago, and originated in Normandy, but at that time knew only of his par ents." Then follows a list of questions con cerning Borer his death, the estate he left, the name of the person who took charge of it, also concerning John Gun dey, and lastly comes tha question, "Was there a real fortune?" In closing Mr. Podevin svs that if there was a real fortune, and Jacques Boyer is really dead, then the town of Amiens will be greatly benefited, for it would be his heir. Diligent search of the records of Cook county and the city of Chicago for the past twenty-live years, do not disclose the existence of any such estate; there is no record of the death of John Gundey. and the musty files are equally bare of aoy record of Jacques Boyer. POLICE DISCARD UNIFORMS Chicago Officer, tn Citizens' Clothes Ha Better Work. Chicago, Ocr. 80. Few citizens who were detained down town late last eight escaped giving a strict account of them selves. Requests of this na'.ure were all the more startling for the reason that they came from men who gave no out ward indications that they had any right to make them. It was all on account of a new order of thinge that has been introduced in the police department, and which it is hoped will have the effect of patting a stop to the numerous hold-ups, and highway robberies that have been taking place of late. Nearly the entire night force of officers ia the business por tion of the city were divested of their uniforms and sent to travel ia plain "citizen's" clothes. The results so far have been most satisfactory, several well known crooks and confi dence men having fallen into the net, Ihis manner of police wrk will be kept up as long as the city is infested as it is at present by a gang of thieves.

"I worked aboard the Belle Honor, m passenger steamer of the speedy class that plied between Cincinnati and New Or leans, and had a very comfortable berth. We were a harmonious little colony, we of the lower deck, pulling together with a will and never quarreling. That last is a point worth noting, as perhaps you are well aware. Then, too, our captain suited us. He was a quiet man, but firm, with the knack of winning by kindness what others gain by discipline, and he and the crow never ran counter of one another. "But trouble is bound to occur sooner or later it always does. The discordant element came among us one day at the Cincinnati wharf in the person of Jim Bowling, a new hand. The captain thought he had a jewel in him, and so he bud as far as physical strength went, for Jim was a perfect giant in stature and muscled liko a Hercules, but it did not take us long to learn that he was a bully of the deepest dye. We expected war and wo were not mistaken. "Relying on his might, he set systemat ically to work to cow the crew, and with the more timid he soon succeeded. They were afraid to call their souls their own In his presence, while the bolder spirits were driven to tho ragged edge of mutiny. It was of little use to make a stand individu ally against him, his strength being invin cible. "His methods were outrageous, but seemed to spring rather from recklessness than from Inborn brutality. I don's bo lievo he realized the effect of his strength. One of his tricks was to twist his victim's arms behind him, force him on to his knees and hold him there until be begged for mercy. Another was to trip him up suddenly and send him sprawling on tho deck. I myself had the pleasure of being lifted bodily and pltchod headforemost into one of the boats that chanced to be half full of filthy water. "This couldn't last, of course, and the end came suddenly one dark night when it was least expected. We of the crew were alone on the lower deck and had been cracking jokes and telling yarns by the dim light of tho lanterns. Among our number was a little man of retiring habits who had joined us nearly a year before. Wo called him Cuppy and liked him well because of the sweetness of hij disposition and his willingness to do us a pood turn on any and all occasions, but who he was or where he came from no one knew. Bis silence on this point naturally piqued us, and many were the romantic theories cir culated about him, but he never sanctioned any of these by word or sign. So our knowl edge began and ended with the nickname that he bore. "Xow. for some reason, Bowling had thus far left this little man in peace, which was the more surprising to Us in that a bully generally attacks the weakest of a party first. We were not sorry for tho omission, none of us wishing to see Cuppy abused, but his turn came now, and during a pause in the conversation the giant or dered the pygmy out to enliven the festivi ties with a dance. "Poor Cuppy! He seemed to curl op and shrink into himself at the sound, but he didn't budga an inch. Bowling repeat ed his command with an oath, and the further to enforce it arose and seized his victim by tho collar. And then came a transformation as unexpected as it was gratifying to the spectators. Cuppy no sooner felt that great paw closing upon him than he gained his feet as if electri fied, caught Bowling a lightninglike blow in the face and went over the back of his chair with the agility of a cat. It passed so quickly that it took our breath away. "The giant staggered, more from sur prise than from the force of the blow, and involuntarily clapped his hand to his bloody nose. Then, swearing furiously, he made a lunge for the little man, and there was a gouoral overturning of chairs and benches and a scramble to see the result. Cuppy made for a clear space in the forward part of the deck, peeling off his coat. Did he Intend to plunge in and swim for it? It looked that way, and some one called out to him to beware of the wheel. But no: such was not his inten tion, for no sooner had he reached the opening than he turned at bay! "Bowling was at his heels. He mads a side bound, eluding the letter's out stretched arms, and caught him a second stingirjg blow on the ear. Tho awakening of the little man was wonderful; his face Hushed, his eyes gleamed, he appeared en dowed with the elasticity of India rubber. His movements were too speedy for the eye to follow, and not for a second did Le re main in one spot. As Bowling turned he struck him in tho face, again eluded his savage grasp and returned to the attack. Wo could see that his blows ware leveled at the giant's eyes, for, they once closed, he would hold him at his mercy. "And we? Well, you can never imagine our sensations at seeing the man who had bullied and abused us thus taken in hand and thrashed by the weakest cf our num ber, as we had supposed We cheered our champion to the echo and all but went into hysterics in our excitement. "Bowling lost his head at once, and from that moment Cuppy sailed lu and won hands down. At the best the farmer's vast strength was slow and unwieldy, and he now floundered about like a boat with out a rudder, making vicious blows at space and winding himself by the unusual violence of his exertions. Had he got his hands on his antagonist he could have crushed the lifo out of him and would undoubtedly have done so in his rage, but that is precisely what Cuppy took care he should not do. "It was magnificent the way that little 'man played upon his eyes until they were as tight shut as a day old kitten's and then proceeded to pay off all our debts .with interest. In two minutes he had Bowling leaning helplessly against a oot ton bale, too groggy to see or hear and al most too weak to stand. And that finish ing blow on the point of the jaw! Well, it vas a beauty, equal to Fitzsimmons' best, and it stretched the bully on the deck for ;tl)o next quarter of an hour, i We got Cuppy on our shoulders and we iycllcd ourselves hoarse, which, happily, did not reach the captain's ears owing to the noi?e made by the dar.csrs above, and (thus, curiosity overcoming us, we demand 'ed an explanation. The little man went 'and took a long drink of water; came back to us and said, in his quiet way: I 'We'll drop this matter here, boys. I think Bowling has had his lesson and will .let us alone in the future. As for me, I fwas once the lightweight champion of fOhio, and the old skill has not all left me lyet.' That explained all! But it made us 'feel rather cheap nevertheless. "And he was right about Ji. Bowling, for a more completely humbled bully never drew the breath of life. He made no effort to reassert himself; went at his work iu sullen silence, and shortly after we saw the .last of him on board the Belle Houore." Cincinnati Post VANDALISM 6sTacrr kax P.Ofl Wk Call Themselves Civilized. The sayagry of savages Is as noth ing to the savagery of some creatures who are brought up in civilized com munities and call themselves civilized also. We have few records of In dians or Zulus wantonly destroying pictures or books or statuary unless they thought them "bad medicine" and held devils. Yet. bow far could one ot our city thugs and loafers Be trusted in the presence of a work of art or a thing of beauty? It seems to be a sort of instinct with him to throw a stone whenever he sees flowers or ornaments, or to pull out a knife and hack at them, or to upset or scratch or injure them. In a certain blind and brute way per haps his conduct gives him a flatter ing sense of power. He cannot make anything useful or beautiful himself, but he can destroy it. The only way to cure these vandals appears to be either to educate them early or drown them. Drowning is the least expen sive, but there Is a public prejudice against it, so for a few centuries we must expect to see our public buildings defaced, our metal work bent and scratched, our plate glass broken, our street lights shattered, our pictures jabbed with canes and umbrellas, our mirrors marked with initials carvd by diamond rings, our rugs and carpets and wood work spat upon, our walls scribbled with names, our streets made depositories f filth and our books torn and dog-eared; for it takes a long time to cure a vandal of his vandalism. One needs to begin with his father. There is so close a relation between the wan tonness of the destroyer and the dark er deeds of the criminal that perhaps we are justified in keeping a suspicious watch on any man, woman or child who will destroy plants, books and pictures or throw stones at helpless animals. The excessive aggression that mutilates and makes ugly will trespass on others' enjoyments, rights and properties with but little more development. This is seen particularly in the case of bur glars. These fellows, not content with stripping a house of all they can get, not Infrequently destroy what they cannot carry away. They burn papers, tear paintings from their frames, smash furniture, break glass and other wise act like incarnate fiends. It might not be a bad idea in case of the cap ture of these men to impose sentences graded to accord with the amount of damage they had worked. It would make others of their tribe a little more considerate perhaps. On general principles these wanton destroyers should go to prison, anyway. Ex. THE USE OF WIRE. Ttie Multiplication of Purposed to Which It I Being; rot. A marked increase in the demand for wire has been noted of late as a feature in the general revival of trade. This is of especial interest and import ance, as it not only mean.; better wages for more men in the great wire mills, but it also proves renewed activity in the manufacture of electrical devices, an already great and constantly grow ing one, upon whioh almost every phase of commercial and mechanical activity is nowadays more or less intimately dependent. Increased prosperity in the electrical business can mean nothing else than a widespread demand for new trolley lines, lengthened or duplicated telegraph and telephone plants, more dynamos and motors, added messenger circuits, the multiplication of the push button in ail its endless uses in short, the awakening of the industrial world from its recent state of suspended ani mation. The people of this period aave a thousand uses for wire net thought of fifteen or twenty years age, and the news that many of the establishments where it is made are forced to run twenty-four hours a day, and that some of them are even then unable to fill all the orders they receive, is as good an indication as could be desired that calamity howling will not be num bered among this fall's styles.

Fourth Scientist It is unlike any of the reck on those mountains. In fact, it is unlike any rock to be found on earth. It must have dropped from the moon. Here comes a farm hand.
