The Suicide OF aordon Gordon.

ST. PAUL, MINK, August 1.-The
EceRing Despafch's special from
Fort Garry today says:
The notorious Lord" Gordon
Gordon came to a tragic end Satur-
day night. 1t appearsthat one Mon
roe, a detective from Toronto, arrived
here on the steamer International
with two warrants, issued by Police
Magistrate McNab, of Toronto. One
vas or the information of Marshall
and some jewellers of Edinburg. Scot
land, charging Gordon with obtain
goods under false pretences; the
second warrant charged him with
bringing stolen goods into Canada.
Monroe had the warrants endorsed
by the stipendiary magistrate here,
Gilbert McMieken, and, accompanied
by two of the local police and Mr..
Balm, q lawyer acting for Marshall &
Son, started Saturday afternoon for
Headingly, where they arrived in the
evening. They proceeded to Mrs.
Corbett's, where Gordon boarded,
and Monroe made the arrest in the
presence o. the others. Gordon
seemed calm and self-possessed, bat
asked lift was another kidnapping af-
fair. On being assured that it was
not, and hearing the nature and reg
ularity of the arrest, be begged that
be should not be taken through the
States. He also asked the privilege
of changing his clothes for heavier
ones, and the handouts were removed
hat purpose, Monroe following
him very closely. He went to the
foot Of the bed pretending to look for
his Scotch cap, when he seized q pis-
tol, and declaring Il will not go a
step further" placed it to his right
ear and fired. killing himself Instantly.
The tragedy has created much cx-
element. An inquest is now being
held at the late residence of the de,

Y~IcKsBURG, Aug. 8.-Thc steamer
Henry Ames, with a full cargo, from
st Louis for New Orleans, struck a
snag last night near Water Proof,
and sunk in twenty-five feet of water.
The II. C. Yeager is alongside the

are known to be lost.
The Henry Ames had a full trip,
about 1900 tons through aud 300
tons way freight, consisting of grain,
bacon, -four, potatoes and hay, and
1900 packages of sundries. The
sinking was caused by striking a hid
den obstruction.
A German woman aud two chill
dren going to Bayou Sara, and a
Frenchwoman going to Cooks Land
ing, were lost, and probably others.
No cabin passengers are missing.
The books ana papers were saved.
Insurance $25, 900 on the boat.
The Ames had about 1900 tons OF
assorted merchandise. The value
of the boat and cargo is estimated at
The boat is owned and

The kidnapping of children inangu-
rated ia philadelphia, has broken
! out in New York, which might have
been expected, for | know of no soil
in which villainy ihsives so well as
here. A Lid Of about Eve years of
age, was stolen from Both street, near
Nv a week ago, and the only clue the
parents could get to it was by adyer-
Using in the Herald. The answer
came promptly-the child had been
stolen and was being held for a ran
som. In this case, however, the cold
blooded villains made a mistake, for
tho parents of the child have no
means and cannot possibly raise q
tenth part OF the sum demanded. The
fact that they lived in q good house
in a fashionable quarter of the town,
and rode in a carriage and dressed
in purple and fine linen deceived the
operatives. They did not know that
the house was mortgaged, that the
carriages were hired, and that the
daily profits of the head Of the house
absorbed in keeping up indicated
wealth. Hereafter the kidnapping
fraternity viii probably employ z
to search the records, that
they may be certain of striking fat
game. 1t must be provoking to steal
q child and have it turn out that its
parents cannot pay a dollar for rs
Negotiations are going on +.
with the thieves direct, the detectives
unable to get any clue to its
whereabouts.

The steamer Pat Rogers Burned.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 5.-The steamer
Pat Rogers, owned by the Louisville
Mail Company, was burned to the
waters edge, at Laughrey's Island,
at an early hour this morning. About
five o'clock this morning several
bales of cotton, which formed a part
of the cargo, caught fire, it is suppos-
ed, from sparks from the %chimneys,
and the boat was burned to the
waters edge. The boat and cargo,
the latter consisting Of cattle, sheep
and hogs, are q total loss. The pas
senger register and all the books
were lost. The boat was valued at
100000, 1t was insured IN Cincin-
natl for S32, 600, and in Louisville for
So, ZOO. The value ofthe cargo has
not been ascertained.
Mr., Holmes, the engineer, arrived
at Cincinnati, and was interviewed
by several reporters and gives the
following account of the burning. 1t
was just about six o'clock when inst
opposite Laughrey Creek, that flows
into the Ohio river two miles below
Aurora, that / noticed a bright light
among some bales of cotton in the
after part of the boat; fastened to
the spot and found the cotton to be
burning rapidly and beyond any
possibility Of Immediately extinguish-
ing it. FASTENED 20 the hurricane
deck and gave the alarm to the pilot
that the boat was burning, and told
him to run ashore. The pilot at once
turned the boats head to the shores
and Immediately she became unman-
ageable. The pilot states hal he
could turn the wheel, but the steamer
would not answer to her helm. He
thinks the tiller rope had been cut.
From this fact it is thought the fire
was the work of an incendiary.
Another theory is that one Of the
deck passengers, while smoking drop
ped sparks from his pipe into le cot
ton. When the boat became unman-
ageable she drifted on to the sand
bar and there grounded. The'fames
spreading along the lower deck at
once shot up to the cabin and pilot
house, then swept across the hurri-
cane deck. The passengers were all
aroused and boats lowered, and
many carried to the shore, but others,
in their fright, jumped into the water,
and those who were not drowned
reached safe landing places after
drifting a long time with the current.
There were nearly a hundred people
on board, but what proportion Of this
number was actually lost is not
known at this time, as many reported
missing hare been seen by some on
shore after the disaster

A notcd Turtle shot in an ARRAY

LOUISVILLE, August S.-Col Rich
ard T~enbroek, the well known horse
owner, was shot and reported mortal
ly wounded at Gilman's Station, this
county, this evening by General Wal
ter Whitaker, q lawyer Of this city.
Particulars of the affair are not known.
Whitaker has already killed two
men, and is regarded as a desperate
character. 1t will be remembered
that Tenbroek took a number of
Am crican horses to England a num-
Der Of years since, and matched them
against English runners. A later
dispatch says, Col. Z. Tenbroek,
shot by Gen. Whitaker, was not
dangerously wounded, Whitaker
fred at him four times, the last sh OF
hitting Tenbroek in the center of
the forehead, but fortunately glanced
upward, cutting a ridge through the
forehead and bair, but not penetra-
ting the skull. Tenbroek's escape is
regarded as very extraordinary.
Whitaker had an examination trial
and was admitted to $4,000 bail.
His attack seems to have been I'M
provoked. Tenbroek was unarmed.
There is much excitement in the city
over the affair.

NEARLY two-thirds Of the time of
the late court in Blair county was oc-
cupied in trying cases for violation of
the local option law. The provisions
Of the law appear to be more rigidly
enforced in Blair than in any of the
counties in this section of the State,
and Judge Dean %enforces the penal
ties with a just and unsparing hand.
From an exchange we gather the
following list Of convictions, and fines
and penalties imposed: Levi Knott,
1920, costs. and ninety days in jail;
Samuel Rhen, $50 and costs; Pat
rick Redmond (the racer,) $50 and
costs; w. r. Smith, 5000, costs, and
