THE JULIA BAKER.
Belief that the Alleged Master Is an ImpostOr,
and that the Real Captain Was Murdered.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Warner g. Merritt,
owners of the fruit schooner Julia Baker, are
more convinced than ever that Captain John
Lewis has been murdered by the crew, and that
the man in command Of her at Key West, who
alleges he is Captain Lewis. is an impostor
Last evening the firm forwarded to Key West,
by telegraph, a full description of Captain Lewis,
and a series of interrogations to be nswere
by the person in command of the vessel, which
brought such answers, through Ramon Alvarez,
deputy collector, that at midnight the firm sent
that officer the following dispatch:
The man claiming to be Lewis is an impostor and
unquestionably a murderer. He and all the crew
should be prevented from leaving Key West. The U.
S. Attorney should devise means to hold them. The
impostor does not answer a single question correctly.
In speaking of the matter, Mr.. Merritt says;
81 haven't the least doubt but the man is an i'm
postor, and have already sent a man to Key
West to take charge of the vessel. 1T Captain
Lewis was alive and in charge of the schooner,
he could very readily answer all questions pro
pounded, and the fact of the man not making
correct replies convinces me that Lewis has been
foully dealt with by the crew"
Warner & Merritt this afternoon received the
following dispatch:
KEY WEST, Aug. 1.-THE situation remains I'M
changed. The master and crew can not be held on the
evidence you have furnished. The master desires to
discharge her cargo Immediately, but we will temper,
ize with him until the arrival Of your representative
here. The vessel is apparently not leaking sufficiently
to necessitate hasty discharge.
A Key West dispatch says: The crew of the
schooner, Julia Baker state that the master was
attended by Gomez, the steward, and Walker,
the mate, for seven days after leaving New York.
When the crisis came they gave him something
from a bottle, and he died in three minutes after
ward. Walker was arrested this afternoon.
Gomez left the schooner at Fortune Island. He
said he owned half the cargo. Walker told the
crew, after the schooner left the Bimini Islands,
that Gomez had stolen money which had been
realized from the sale of -four. The acting mas
ter of the schooner has been exhibiting consider
able gold, and trying to buy silence.

Fire on Green Mountain.

BAR HARBoR, Me, Aug. IA fire was seen
on Green mountain, this evening, which grew
rapidly in volume, Fifteen minutes after the
discovery a telephone message from Otter Creek
reported the Mountain House was burning. It
is now one mass of flames, the fire burning
lower, showing the building nearly demolished.
The house was built last year. The old house
that served before was left standing in its rear,
and was occupied by servants. From the APP
pearance and growth of the fire it seems to have
caught in the old building and extended to the
new. There are no water facilities on the noun
tain. A train has gone up to give assistance.
The house is owned by the railway company and
insured. The railway is uninjursd and will run
as usual tomorrow. The new observatory can
be seen intact.

The Ohio & Mississippi Railway.

Among the many roads running east and west,
none occupy a more favorable position geographic
cally, than the Ohio & Mississippi railway,
Being tne short line between st. Louis and
Cincinnati, and the connecting link, SO to speak,
between the East and West, this important line
finds it necessary to run four daily express trains
from st. Louis to Cincinnati and two to Louis,
vile to accommodate its large and constantly in
creasing passenger traffic.
In connection with roads east from Cincin.
natl, it runs two daily lines of sleeping cars,
between st Louis and New York, leaving st.
Louis morning and evening and reaching New
York in about thirty-seven hours.
The excellent condition of the road-bed en-.
ables 1t to run trains at a high rate of speed
withesafety-the regular time between st. Louis
and Cincinnati, a distance of 34l miles, being but
ten hours, including stops.
The 0. q M. is in every respect a model road,
and appears to grow in favor with the public
from year to year.

A DRAMATIC SUICIDE.
Edward C. Steers Shoots Himself Before
the Young Lady Who Rejected Him.


RIcHFIELD SPRINGS, N. T., Aug. 2.-The
guests and residents here were startled yester-
day on learning that Edward G. Steers, a young
society man, son of Schuyler B. Steers, the rich
est man in Louisiana, had committed suicide on
the dock, all on account of the refusal of Miss
Tese White to marry him. Miss White is a tall
and pretty girl, twenty-one years of age, and a
member of the noted Clark family Of this region.
The suicide was dramatic in the extreme. To
day was the twenty first birthday CT young
Steers, and, inviting Wilson Curtis, a son of
Judge Curtis, of Coopertown, they visited Miss
White, With her and two lady companions they
went across the lake to enjoy a picnic in the grove.
Mr.. Steers got into his boat with Miss White,
while Curtis took the other two ladies. Steers
hurried across the bay, and jumping upon the
dock, helped Miss White to alight, and said:
s"Tese, | ask you once for all; will you marry
meW HYou know | cannot" was the reply.
Then will shoot myself. and pulling a revolt
yer from his pocket, he shot himself under his
right eye, the ball passing out of the top of the
skull, death being instantaneous. The young
lady rushed up to Hyde Hallfor help, and Curtis
jumped upon the dock. The body was covered
with leaves and evergreens and left lying on the
dock, with pistol in hand, until the coroner could
be summoned. Steers's mother is Frustrated
with grief. Miss White is in commissions to-
night, and there is little hope of her living until
morning.

Crew Landed in Safety.
EEwBURG, n. Y, Aug. 2-The steamer Eagle
left here this morning with twenty-five passen-
gers, and considerable freight for Albany. At
7:45 smoke and flames poured out from beneath
the crank-room. flames spread with great rapidity
beneath the boiler and engine-room. Streams of
water turned on were unable to subdue them.
The boat headed for Milton dock, and the passen-
gers were landed before they knew of the fire.
There was no alarm or confusion, the officers
acting promptly, and the crew readily obeying
orders. The crew succeeded in removing most
of the freight. A horse burned to death. The
fire soon communicated to the upper portion.
The steamboat efevre with an excursion party
came along, and towed the burning vessel to the
east side of the river, where the Eagle burned to
the waters edge, and the hull was beached. At
l o'clock this afternoon the vessel was a smoking
wreck, the only upper portion of the works un-
consumed being the flagstaff at the bow. The
Eagle was built in 1852, and was insured for
1925, 900. The fire caught from the kitchen stove,
below the deck.

John Mclean and the Chicago Times.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.-The Evening Post says
that the Chicago Times is to change hands be-

nature of its business complications that this
seems to have become a necessity; and that it
will transpire is an open secret in thatcity. That
the most prominent negotiator for it is John r.
Mclean is also certain, for he has said it him
self. Indeed, so far have negotiations proceeded
that Mr., Mclean has not hesitated to depart
from his habit of reticence so far as to declare
that he confidently expects to be shortly in con
troll Of that paper.
