S0HNErDERS SINGULAR STORY.
Taken from His Room on Beard Steamer
and Tortured by Masked Men.

ST.. Louis, May 20.-About a month ago the
safe i'll the Office of the steamer Montana lying
at the wharf here was robbed of 81, 800, early in
the morning, during the absence of Captain
Earl, clerk of the boat. Phillip
Schneider. mate of the steamer, who
was on watch at the time, and his son, who was
the regular Waterman of the boat were arrested,
but as nothing could be proved against either,
and both denied most positively knowing
anything about the robbery they were
released and retained their POSITIONS on, the
steamer This afternoon Philip Schneider came
to the city by railroad from Waverly
MO: And and. tells the following story
ago last Saturday for Kansas City. Everything
went as usual until between 10 and IL o'clock
last night. when, the boat reached VOLTS
Island, about five miles above Lexington.
on her return trip, when three masked
and disguised men, with navy revolvers en-
tered his state room in the Texas woke him out
Of a sound sleep, and ordered him to dress and
follow them. They took him ashore,
what they intended 10 do with
him they charged him with knowing where that
money was, and said if he did not produce
it, or state where It could be found,
would have to hang him then. for he
knew nothing about the robbery. In response
to whistle two other men came out of the
woods, and the five then strung him up to tree
for minute or two. and then let
him down. He still denied any
knowledge of tho money, and they hung
him up again. This was repeated four times
and twice he was held up till he was insensible
The last time he was so weak and exhausted
that, no. could scarcely speak. When
consciousness returned his assailants had left
disappearing in the woods He dragged
himself to the river bank after a great effort
where he found the Montana and was taken
aboard and cared for. When the boat reached
Waverly forty miles below, he left
her and came to St IPouis by
railroad. He will not state whether
he recognized any of the persons concerned in
the affair, and his story doesn't receive full
credence It is partly corroborated by a
dispatch from Lexington, however, and it
may be, true The Montana has, not
been heard of since reaching Waverly, and the
supposition is that she is aground above
Bonneville The affair is shrouded in
mystery, and probably will not be ex-
planned until the boat reaches here. Schneider
asserts that neither Captain Keith nor other
officers of the boat attempted to
interfere when, he, was. taken from
the steamer The theory is that
the perpetrators of the outrage were
connected with the boat, and took this means to
extort from Schneider a confession that he
either took the money or knew where it was.

INDIANA DEMOCRATS
Opposition to Col Gray Because of His Record
as Republican.

Washington Special.
As the time for the meeting of the Indiana
Democratic State convention draws near much
talk is heard among Indian:ans living here and
in office as to who should be nominated for Gov
ernor. The prominent candidates are Colonel
Isaac P. Gray. General Mahon D. Manson and
Judge David Turpie. 1t is admitted that Col
onel Gray has the lead now and his fitness for
the position is not disputed But the fact that
he has been Democrat but a few years, most
of the time being in offfce since he was converted
to the true faith, has caused many of the Demo
Gratis from Indiana now here to protest ag ainst
his elevation to the office of Governor over the
heads of lifelong Democrats like Mason and
Turpie At an informal meeting of four of the
Indiana Democratic congressman, to-day. the
candidacy of Colonel Gray was discussed in
friendly criticism. They were all glad that the
Colonel WAS now a Democrat, but remembered
that, as President OF the State Senate Of Indiana
when the fifteenth amendment presented
for ratification, he caused the doors to be locked
that Democrats opposed to negro suffrage might
not break quorum. Said one of these Indiana
members, young and active Democratic politi-
cian
1T would be bitter pill for me to swallow
that was wrapped IN ticket headed Ike Gray
for Governor He is not fairly warm behind the
ears yet, and came into the party as a spokesman,
having been a candidate for office ever since he
turned tail on the Republican party because he
could not reap the reward of his arbitrary treat
ment of the Democrats of Indiana when he pre-
sided over the Senate"
''Who are you for in the gubernatorial racer
II would vote for Manson if he was five years
younger. and old as he is I'm not sure but he
would make the strongest candidate the Demo
Gratis could nominate. But, looking the field
over think Judge David Turpie would be the
best man, unless Voorhees, could be made to
enter the contest"
why not count him, whether he will or not,
as eandidatel'
"Oh, always picture Voorhees, in my mind as
the next Governor of Indiana, but my picture
may be only gaudy chrome The race now
seems to be between Gray and Turpie, and
wish every Democrat in the State believed as l
do, that Turpie. considered from every point Of
view, ought to have an overwhelming majority in
the convention"
The other three Indiana members emphatic
ally indorsed this sentiment
