A SENSATIONAL CASE.
Which Will Soon be Settled by the
Culprit,s Death.

Special to the Globe.
BALTIMORE, Md. July 17.-On the 5th
of January, last. John Stone of Ontario,
Canada, shot his niece, Miss Maud Hodge,
aged Is years, in Beamville, and imme-
diately turned the pistol upon himself and
fired bullet into the left side of his head,
just above the right ear. Miss Hodge was
thought to be seriously wounded. Stone
was placed under arrest and his death was
reported. but instead he got better and
managed on the night Of Feb. 10 to es.
cape his guard and come to Baltimore.
Here he has been ever since, although
the Canadian authorities have been trying
to get him into Canada. They placed the
prosecution in the hands OF Senator Daniel
w. Voorhees, of Indiana. Several at
temptS have been made to have the case
heard and in every instance there has been
delay. Stone is nearly dead and his forced
appearance in the court room has weakened
him so much that sympathy has gone to
him. To-day he was brought from bis
residence, mile distant, before Commits
sioner, Rogers. He looked like corpse.
The doctor expected his death at any
moment. Senator VOORHEES, failed
tosappear. Ex-senator White said the
forcing of man in Stones condition into
court was british butchery, and Com.
missioner Rogers said that if Senator Voor.
hees failed to appear next Thursday, he
would dismiss the case peremptorily. In
the first hearing of the case the facts came
out that Stone had illicit relations with hi.
niece. and that when she threatened to ex
pose him, he tried to kill both her and him
self. She has recovered. The case ha.
been of considerable sensational interest
1t will probably be settled by the earl,

the Visitors.
Junior Single Scun Contest and the
Race Against Time.
The Rexatta Yesterday.

A large crowd was present yesterday
evening at the last races Of the Winnipeg
and Minnesota Rowing association. The
races were started at o'clock by Judges
4. W. Echart of the st. Paul club, Hal
Watson of the Lurlnes and Edwin Pier of
the Moline club Mr.. G. w. Crawford
acted as referee and George Il. Thompson,
st. Paul, A. +. Stensin, Winnipeg, and E.
w. Osborn of the Molines as timekeeper.
The first race Oh the program was the race
against time by the Sylvan club of Moline.
This crew got over the courSe-a mile and
half straight away-in good shape, row.
ing the entire distance with 48 stroke to the
minute. A rather rough sea was on in
some parts of the course and they crossed
the line in 8 minutes and SO seconds. The
next race was the junior single scull race IN
which the Watson brothers, Lew and Hal,
entered. The race was two miles, one
mile and return, and was won by Lew
Watson in 1871. Both are members of the
Luriine club. The event of the day was
senior f0ur-oared shell race over the same
course. There were embraced the follow
ing crews:
Four-oared shells, senior:
winnipeg Rowing club, f. W.Stobart, bow;
Il. w. Van Allen 2; B. h. Caldwell, 8; G. E.
Gault, stroke.

buchanan, stroke.
The crews get away. the Winnipeg first,
leading with thirty-three stroke, followed
oy their second crew, the Minnesotas and
st. Paul following. Bad steering by the
ST. Paul boat made them lose distance. At
the three and One-quarter post the same Or
der. The race was easily won by the Win
nlpeg first crew in 8 minutes and Sc Sec
onds. the Winnipeg's second coming across
the line i'll 9 minutes and second. with the
Minnesotas third. An understanding was
made by the Sylvan club that their team
should stand against the winning
crew and consequently the Winnipegs
won over all clubs. The prize was chal-
lenge cup and badges. The double-scun
race was postponed. There were several
bad features in the race, viz: the time and
delay in getting the races started. 1t is to
be hoped that the management of the next
regatta will profit by the internal delay
noticeable at this race. At night the
visitors enjoyed the dance at the Lafayette.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Public interest in
the Broadway steal is renewed by the news
from Paris by cable that eX-Ald. Robert
E. De Lacy and Charles Dempsey have ar
rived in the gay capital to prevent BILLY"
Maloney returning to New York and turn
ing states evidence against the Doodle MEM
beers of the 1884 board. and this report has
stirred up those gentlemen and brought out
several new facts. a gentleman who re-
sides immediately in the rear Of De Lacy's
house at No. TAT Fifth street tells this story:
About the middle of last month
Mrs. De Lacy and her son unexpectedly
made their appearance in the neighborhood,
having returned the night before from Mon
treal. Several friends called on Mrs. De
Lacy and to them, it is said, she stated she
had come back to prepare for trip to Eu-
rope. She packed her trunks and returned
to Montreal in a few days. taking her son
with her. Mrs. De Lacy. before going, said
that the party would sail from Quebec on
the 18th of July, unless something I'M
portant should happen in the meantime.
BILLY" Maloney at that time had sailed for
Europe Immediately after the De Lacys
had returned to Montreal the family OF
John keenan, made hasty trip from that
one day and then touk late train for the
aldermanc colony. From remarks made by
Mrs. De Lacy it would seem that the whole
party
STOOD IN AFFECT TERROR
of MaloneY. They were under the impress
sion that he was in secret correspondence
with the district attorney or some one inter-
ested in the prosecution of the aldermen.
1t is a fact that the indicted aldermen have
had for several months past unknown IA
cilities for obtaining information as to what
was going on in the district attorneys Office.
Their scouts have been seen making inquir-
les of every one and anyone connected with
the prosecution. Assistant District Attor-
ney Purdy, it was learned. was about to
sail for Europe. Ward Immediately tele-
graphed to DeLacy that job was on foot
to capture Mr.. Maloney, and that something
must be done to guard BILLY" from tempta-
ton. DeLacy and Dempsey picked up
their traps and sailed for Liverpool on the
next steamer. Maloney, it is said, is anxious
to return to his native heath, and notwith-
standing the fact the men interest
ed in keeping him away have paid
fabulous sums for expenses, it is now feared
that he is contemplating turning traitor and
has opened negotiations with the district
attorney.

Special to the Globe.
NIAGARA FALLS, July 17.-George w.
White, the adventurous barber of Oswego,
n. Y, has come here for the purpose of
eclipsing Cooper Graham and accomplish
ing what Capt. Webb lost his life in at
tempting. He proposes to swim through
the ''angriest bit of water in the world, -
clad in suit of cork, which he says will
protect him.
II am barber by trade aud very poor -
said White. 81 have been unlucky and am
going to tempt fate for fortune
Have you had any experience?'
Yes, am good swimmer, and have gone
through the Lachine rapids all right. The
whirlpool rapids are much worse, but I will
get through all right. If do not, it's nobody
else's business. l hope the authorities will
not interfere, for it is the chance of life
time for me-"
Are you not afraid you will get killed."
81 think not. Capt. Webb lost his life by
diving under u mountain of foam and striking
his head on rock"

that would be all. have been able to hold
my head five minutes under water without
trouble

stander.
''Tll take you," said White.
A pail of water was brought out and
White stuck his head III it and stayed there
four minutes, when the crowd yelled
enough and White took out his head. He
did not mind it at all. The adventurous
barber said that the only difficulty he ex
pected was the undertow. That might pull
him under, but by going with it he thought
the suction would keep him clear off the
| sunken rocks.
Il will not stand half the chance of suffo
| cation that Graham did in his BARREL and his
| feat will be nowhere beside mine. Graham
| is exhibiting in dime museum in Buffalo
but it would take whole theater to accom-
modate me if 1 succeed"
Police Superintendent Madrigan and his
assistant at Suspension Bridge said thai
they would not modest White because there
was no use. If he wants to swim, let him
do it. A gentleman who saw Capt Webt
killed said:
If he undertakes to go through those
rapids in that suit he will be dashed to pieces
in a minute. The current goes so fast tina,
he viii be tossed about like toy with hi:
| cork suit on. It's sure death.
