ming west and northwest, met here
to-day to consider the question OF

frmed with unimportant modifica-
tiOns.

committee to confer with the east
ern seaboard trunk lines with refer
ence to the proportion Of the through
rate to be allowed the roads between

On the afternoon of the 18th of
April Mrs. Anna Baverlein, aged 25,
daughter of JnO. Baverlein, a wealthy
German of this city, mysteriously
disappeared from home. A diligent
search made by detectives was un-
successful, and no clue was obtained
until to-day, when a dispatch from
Bonneville, 100 miles below on the
Missouri river. announced that her
body had been found in the river by
a fisherman and identified as that OF
Mrs. Baverlein. The body had evil
dently been in the water some time.
An examination revealed a bullet
wound in the back, but no other
marks of violence appeared, and the
jewelry upon her body was undis-
turbed. The fact of murder is estab-
lished almost beyond doubr, but the
circumstances surrounding it remain
a complete mystery.

The Situation in Belleville-Sym.
pathy Of the People.


ST. LOUIS, May 29. - Later dis
patches from Bellevllle say the tone
of the press there this morning is
favorable to the strikers, and many
citizens are on their side. 1t is be-
lieved the militia acted very hastily
and did wrong in firing on the Gro q d.
The prisoners, thirty in number, were
brought into town about noon, and a
great crowd met them at the depot.
The entire police force of the city
and number of deputy sheriffs were
present to maintain order. The men
were taken to Squire Medart's office,
where after a consultation between
the States attorney and counsel for
the prisoners, the latter were released
on their sown recOgniZance. After
which the great crowd of strikers
present took them in charge and
paraded them through the Court
House square. The coroner empan-
eled a jury and an inquest on the
body of the dead miner was begun.
After the strikers had paraded
through the streets, lambert and
Thomas; their counsel, made speeches
advising them to refrain from con-
gregating in crowds, and Charles
Nesblt, President OF the District
Union, urged them 10 keep quiet and
await an investigation.
The inquest began about noon; all
the law officers testified that. the
miners fired the first shots last even
ing, and fifteen witnesses with their
women swore that the troops fired
first. The inquest will be continued
tomorrow. The name Of the dead
man is now ascertained to be Hender-
son, not Anderson. He will be bulied
tomorrow. All the miners in this
district are ordered out, and a great
demonstration will be made. The
miners are now ready to arbitrate. A
committee of three has been appoint
ed to meet with the board of trade of
Belleville, these to consult with the
mine owners, and effect, if possible,
some compromise under which the
men can return to work.
The Governor has ordered The
militia away from the Reineke mine
and 20 deputy sheriffs are now on
guard there.
Japan Pald-Newspaper GEouls.
WASHINGTON. May 30.-The State
Department has received inf0rma-

the effect that the money appropria-

indemnity was paid over on April

The Jeanette Board of Inquiry
said to-day that seaman Noros testi-
fed to certain facts which were sup
pressed by the newspapers. These |
facts related to the shocking desecra-
tion of the graves Of Lieutenant De
Long, Surgeon Amber and Collins.
NorOs received permission to accom-
pany the CORE -pOndents of the Lon
don Standard and Telegraph and an
artist of the ILLUSTRATED NeWs to the
graves of the American officers.
When they arrived at the place his
companions proceeded to dig up the
remains against his most earnest
protest. They were determined, how
ever, and he was helpless in the mat
ter. He said he should not have
pointed out the graves if he had sup
posed the correspondents intended to
do anything besides sketch them.
The journalist ghouls, however, ex-
humed the remains, sketched the
bodies IN an upright position, and
then replaced them.

him from his course. As he approached
the old suspension bridge the flow OF
the current increased with remarkable
rapidity.
There were about two hundred
spectators on the bridge who saw the
intrepid swimmer glide toward them,
pass swiftly beneath them, and ere
they could reach the east side of the
structure he was fifty yards down the
current. He was carried along as fast
as the eye could follow him. With
speechless wonder aud fear he was
seen to reach the first furious billows
of the rapids. Onward he was swept
like feather in the sea. High on the
crest of Il huge boulder of water his
head and shoulders CLEANED for an in
stant, and then WAS lost in dark
abyss of turmoiling water. Again he
appeared, his arms steadily moving as
If balancing himself for plunge into
another mighty wave.
The tumbling, rushing, swirling ele-
ment seemed to give forth an angry
Sullen roar, us if sounding the death
knell of the Inflated swimmer. Once
more away down the rapids he was
seen, still apparently Drawing fate and
stemming the seething waters with
marvellous skill and endurance. In
stead of being hurled hither and
thither, as might have been expected,
he was carried with furious rapidity
onward i'll almost II straight course.
For nearly mile he was hurried for
ward,by the tumultuOus rushing waters,
and still he seemed to he riding the
awful billOws in safety.
In four minutes after he had passed
under the old suspension bridge he had
been hurried through the terrible
rapids and arrived at the mouth of the
great whirlpool. Reaching what seem
ed to be less troubled and dangerous
waters he raised his head well above
the surface. gazed for an instant tow
ards the American shore and then
turned his face to the high bluff on the
Canadian side. A second later he dived
Dr sank and was seen no more.

A Brave Life Thrown Away.

Captain Webb began life by saving
Il younger member of his family from
drowning; he ended it by throwing
himself away as one would II worthless
penny. He once jumped from Il
Cunarder in Il gale to save common
seaman, and medals and honors were
showered upon him. But now he will
get no monument. Women wept on
the shore, Tuesday, when he threw up
his hand before that mighty maelstrom
of water and thunder; they did not
weep becauSe he was Il hero, but be
cause he was fool. Glow much have

asked the only waterman who had the
courage to row him ont to his starting
place. Webb replied, "Twenty five
thousand dollars" "And how much

"Then you had better let me pull you
ashore, and go on Il SI5,OO0 spree
rather than try to go through that. 1t

and said, "Meet me with the clothes
and blankets ut the Swiss Glen, below
the whirlpool, us | wish to go to Bos-

difference between an Ida Lewis and II
Sam Patch. Men recall his wonderful
endurance and daring in past years.
how he SWAN the English Channel
from Dover to Calais in 2I4 hours in
rough weather, how he could remain
I2S hours week in the water, and
how he could master waves that would
almost founder Il yacht, and yet these
stories lose their charm in view of the
foolhardiness of his taking-off. When
he plunged into the Niagara river there
probably was not a man living to match
him in the art of riding the breakers,
for he had put himself through IL Sc
we're course of training ut Nantasket
beach and was in good condition, but,
| like many men i'll many departments
of activity, he dreamed that he could
astonish the public by doing what the
public believe cannot be done and
ought not to be done if it could he.
The Buffalo Courier thus describes
his fatal plunge: McCloy told the
| hardy swimmer that he had brought
| him rs far rs he could with safety to
the boat and himself. Webb promptly
removed his hat, handkerchief, coat,
and all his clothing save IA pair of short
red cotton trunks around his lOins, and
without IA word of farewell, plunged
boldly into the water at a point oppo-
site the Maid of the Mist landing.
a moment later he rose gracefully tC

mite ease and power, struck boldly out
