AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
Capture in Chicago of Ike Buzzard, Mem

Capture In Chicago of Ike Buzzard, Mem
Der of Notorious Gang of Despera-
does.
CHICAGO, June lS.-About six o'clock
last evening Officers McInerney and Nc
keough walked up to a small, dyspeptic-
looking individual at the corner of State
and Twenty-second street, and hailed him
with "Hello, Iker The man half replied
and half denied that that was his name, but
when the officers told him they wanted him
he walked off toward the station with them.
As he walked along he pondered on the
matter moment, and then said: Pat
Doyle gave Inc away the - -, and think
it was dirty, mean trick" He then ac-
knowledged to the policemen that his name
was Ike BuZzald, and that he was the
second son of the notorious Buzzard
family of six boys, who were for
Lancaster, Pa. They lived up in the
mountains, and were to the surrounding
country exactly what the James and Young
er boys were to certain parts of Nebraska
and Missouri. They were so powerful in
their mountain fastness that they time and
again detied posse of constables, and even
bid defiance to the militia. Nearly three
years ago Ike and Lis elder brother, Abe, the
leader of the gang, were captured and sen
fenced to the penitentiary. They both quietly
worked away at their sentences until Sep
tember 1888, when Ike managed TO make
his escape by slipping from his cell and
locking up the turnkey in an adjoining cell
at time when there was no assistance.
With the keys which Ike took
from the imprisoned turnkey Ike re-
leased twelve other long term pris-
oness, and the party started to-
gether for the mountains. After travelling
a short distance the party separated, and
Ike abandoned both Of them. He managed
in the course OF week 10 make his way to
Freedonia, y. y, where he was hidden in
his sisters house for short time. Thence
he fled to Iowa, where he had some dis
tant relatives, and during the winter and
spring he passed the time at Omaha and other
Western cities. lie started East only a
few days since and arrived in the city yes
terday. r only reason he gave for ac-
cusing Pat boyle of having betrayed him
was the fact that he and Doyle were in Jail
at Lancaster eight years ago, and that he
net his fellow prisoner on the street hero
Sunday and shook hands with him.
Buzzard is q man of twenty-seven, weighs
one hundred aud twenty-five, and has the
appearance of being anything but q des-
perado But his record shows that no has
accomplished feats Of strength and epdur-
anoe and been guilty Of crimes that would
appal the ssoutest rufiisn. The Pennsyl
vania authorities have offered reward OF
Eve hundred dollars for his arrest, and he
will be held until the officers ct Lancaster
go b notified.

PHILADELPHIA, June l9.-Bishop Simp-
son died at eleven O'Clock yesterday morning
His end was comparatively sudden, coming
unexpectedly when he appeared to be rest
ing easier.
Matthew simpson was born at Cadiz. o.,
June II 1911, and consequently at the time of
his death only lacked three days OF being
sevcnty-three years of agr. He received his
education ut the Cadiz Academy and Ma ftson
College, Pennsylvania. After spending some
time as teacher in the latter institution ne
practiced a short time, when he conceived the
idea of entering the ministry. Five years
after he began his collegiate education he
was made a member Of the G pit,sourEh C ,sa-
he was made Professor of Natural Sciences
and VicePresident of Allegheny College.
Two years afterward he became President
of Indiana Asbury University which posi-
ton he held until 1913. He then became edi-
tor of the Wcssrn Christian .tdrOcnts.
This place he held for four years.
he was cheated to the 81 bfbh iS arc
pointment AS Bishop there were only three
bishops in active scrvicc-Waugh, Morris and
James. They are dead, and Bishop simpson
at the time of his death was the Oldest episco-
pal servant of the Methodist Church, both in
credited representative of the Metho
dists in America at the Irish ana BRIT
and the sessions of the Evangelical Alliance
in Berlin in 1857, and after extended travel in
Asia and Egypt he returned to America IN

An Excursion Train Run into by an Az
cOmmodstion Trsin-Eight Railway Elm
pioye. Instantly Killed and Many Pas
sengers Wounded.
PHILADELPHIA, June l6.-There was a
Saturday morning. Two trains came to-
gether with terrible force. Eight people
were killed, and Of the nine wounded sew
eral will probably die. At $3.50 a train OF
three cars left Camden, n. j., for Lakeside
Park with children from the Second Pres
byterian Church on an excursion. AT
seven o'clock an accommodation train OF
seven cars left Atlantic City for Camden
and Philadelphia The trains should have
passed at Ashland station. Superintendent
Barnard sent telegram to the operator at
Ashland to hold the accommodation on a
side track there until the excursion had
passed. Somehow the accommodation got
by Ashland, and about mile this side
rushed headlong into the excursion train.
AS soon as partial quiet had been restored
the uninjured went to the assistance OF the
wounded. Fireman Nicholas Barber was
taken out dead, with his entrails prOtrudlng
Mail Agent Winfield Hiles was, with great
difficulty, gotten out He was lying deep
under the debris, and 1t was some time be-
fore he was discovered. He was heard to
call Here | am" and was thus found.
When gotten out he could not give much
account of himself, as he was terribly in
jured internally, and died in short time.
Frank Fenton, the surveyor of the road,
who was on the train, was taken out after
about two hours work, mangled in terri
BILE manner. Both engineers were killed.
Conductor Albert Smith and the brakeman,
Gustavus Edwards, of the Lakeside train,
were taken out dead. Smith was counting
his tickets IN the front car 1t was nearly
an hour and a half after the accident
before medical attendance was gotten on
the ground. The most affecting thing
of the affair was the fact that the daughter
of Civil Engineer Fenton was OH the ex.
cursion train She looked for her father
and was told that he was safe and had gone
ahead to flag the trains. She then waited
and walked to Haddonfield. In few min
utes after she had gone her father was
taken out of the ruins, his head almost
tlattened where it had been crushed. Bag.
ga9e-master Vaughn was also killed. The
wounded number nine, so far as ascertained.

IRAN NhlCh seriously injuries AhirtS
Persons.
ATCHIsoN, Kan, June 19.-The west
bound train on the Burlington IL Missouri
River road, for Denver was ditched
near Falls City early yesterday
morning, the rails spreading on ac-
count of washout The passengers
were badly shaken up, but not dangerously
hurt. The east-bound passenger train was
less fortunate as it approached Hubbel. 1t
appears some miscreants had removed the
spikes and spread tha rails about sixty feet
from the approach to bridge one hundred
and fifty feet long. The engine left the
track, but crossed the bridge on
the ties. The joltng weakened the
bridge, causing it 10 fall, carrying
down the entire train. The engine, smok-
ing-car, day coach and sleeper were a com
plete wreck. About thirty persons were
injured. A special train brought nine OF
the wounded to this city. Examination in
dictates that the wreckers drew out spikes,
removed tish-plates, fastened bsrbed wire
in the holes, and pulled the rails apart when
the train approached.

The Mine Disaster.

LYNCHBURG, March l5.-There was lit
tie of any additional interest from the
Pocahontas mines to-day. Another ex-
plosion is feared, and as a prccaution
against further loss of human life n guard
has been set at the entrances to the mines.
Superintendent Lathrop has notified sew
eral mining experts whose services were
engaged, that they are no longer needed.
They will be recalled when the mines are
r%eopened. The superintendent states to-
day that the east mine, which was not
materially affected by the explosion, will
be worked again in a few days, The re
sumption in the west mine where the ex-
plosion occurred, will not take place for
two months or more. Governor Cameron
to-day ~telegraphed to Colonel Frank
Hager, superintendent Of the Norfolk
Western railroad, for information as to
the requirements for relief defendants of
the entombed miners. The answer was
returned that about twenty-five hundred
would meet the pressing necessities of the
sufferers. The soliciting committees raised
over five hundred in short while
here to-day, and there has been a call for
a meeting of the Lynchburg tobacco asso-
cation for the purpose of increasing the
subscription. Fifty barrels of -four and
twenty-five hundred pounds of bacon was
shipped hence to the sufferers to-day.

Suppression of Anarchy.

LONDON, March l5.-In Berlin to-day
it is semi-oficially announced that the
principal powers of Europe had agreed to
join in the confederation proposed jointly
by Germany and France for the suppress
sion of all anarchial forms of socialism.
The announcement was, however, coupled
with the statement that the country is
most necessary to success. The confeder-
ton of Switzerland had finally unre-
servedly refused to join. The Swiss fed
eral council in a note of declination takes
the position hat the nature of the gov
eminent of Switzerland forbids and rem
ders 1t unnecessary for the espionage and
discrimination proposed, and states that
so far as the Swiss experience has shown,
the so-called anarchists are vulgar and I'M
influential lot of criminals, and easily
made amendable to the regular laws and
not worth the especial notice of the govern
ment or confederation of the governments.
The attitude of Switzerland is Il serious
disappointment to Bismarck, and it is
believed it will eventually cause the
abandonment of the proposed confedera-
which would be impracticable so
long as Switzerland offered the harbor to
anarchists. In Paris there is much uneas-
mess in diplomatic circles by official in
formation from Berlin to the effect that
and extraordinary activity has
developed in the German navy. The i'm
perial admiralty has just issued an order
commanding the immediate doubling of
a number Of German mariners and
and new submarine batteries on a
most extensive scale has also been ordered.
The German government has also taken
steps to establish on a permanent basis

The Cattle Disease in Great

1t is Pronounced EpizOotic in

Cattle contagion in England.

WASHINGTON, March l5.-Minister
Lowell has written to the department of
state regarding the prevalence of the foot
and mouth disease among the cattle of
England. He says the prevalence of the
disease has been adroitly used by the
friends of protection and the enemies of
the party in power for the purpose of
bringing to the surface and rendering
active n certain amount of political dis
content. 1t has not been difficult to
persuade the agricultural classes that
their losses have been due to the unwise
and even the culpable laxity of the gov
rnmen III the admission of foreign
cattle. The question has assumed so
much political importance as to give some
anxiety to the government.
Lowell refers to the bill passed by the
house of lords with respect to the impor-
tation of cattle and says it now goes to the
commons with a probability of its passage.
The wish of the farmers is, he says, for
the absolute exclusion, but this will be
difficult to obtain. Privy council may on
account of the clamor find themselves
about measures which in principle they
disapprove should the protectiOnists and
thing like the exclusion Of foreign cattle
there will soon be even a more powerful
reaction brought about by the high prices
of meat that would inevitably follow and
which it is thinly- viewed. The object of
the agricultural interest is to produce,
and Lowell recommends the vigorous in
spection and serving of a resolution for
stamping out every spark of the existing
contagion were such cause is found.
He says it would produce such a convic-
ton in England as nothing else, especially
as no amount of argument ever could or

Egyptian Troops Panic Stricken.

LONDON, March l5.-Suakim advices
state that a panic occurred last night
among the Egyptian troops under Baker
Pasha, who is still in camp at Sariba.
They got the notion that the rebels were
approaching and became frightened, it
being alleged that two men were killed,
enormously supposed to be committed by
the rebels. The troops returning to
Suakim were cheered greatly, for the
largest man of the Black Watch regiment;
twelve Arabs were laid low by his single
bayonet. Drummond, of the same
regiment, bayonetted Osman Diena's
neph,w. Fifty men left Chatham to fill
vacancies in the Black Watch regiment.
