FIGHTING ON A TRAIN.
ENCOUNTER BETWEEN A SHERIFF's
POSSE AND DESPERADOES

A Great Many Shots Fired and the Passen-
gers Terrified-Gravo Charge Against a
Pennsylvania Woman-A Mother POis0ns
Herself and ChiIdren-Murdered for a
Gambling Debt.
FORT WORTH Tex, Sept. 13.-From per-
sons who arrived here Friday night on the
Missouri Pacific railway train the facts of IAN
exciting contest in the territory at Vinita are
learned. Several days ago Israel Collins was
arrested on the charge of arson, it being GER
tain that he had burned a 5000 school
house, which was a total loss, with no in
surance. At o'clock i'll the morning, after
Collins arrest, a gang of his friends terror
lied the town and rescued the incendiary.
The search for Collins the next day was
fruitless, but Friday night Collins and twelve
followers, all armed, boarded the train
and Collins openly proclaimed that he was
coming to Texas to have the Vinita officers
arrested by the United States authorities
The city MARSHAL learning that Collins was
OH the train, quickly summoned posse of
thirty men, who jumped on the coach to ar
rest Collins and his gang A scene of indie
scribable confusion followed, in which many
shots were fired. Passenger jumped through
the windows and others hid under the seats.
The officers dubbed the desperadoes with
their heavy revolvers and succeeded in ar
resting all of them. Some of them were
badly beaten up They We're chained and
put in Jail None of the officers were seri-
ously hurt The passenger coach in which
the fight occurred was badly shattered

The sloop kept pinched up very tight, but
the Englishman soon got enough and wearing
round beat for the Jersey coast with the wind
abeam. Every sail bulged out and
the force of the wind heeled
her over until her lee rail was almost
under. The Galatea was extraordinarily
stiff and evidently under rugged for anything
but the toughest work. The Galatea had
made an effort to set her balloon jib topsail.
Her foresal and jib were not full, while the
sloops spiumaker and balloon jib topsan were
drawing finely. The sloop was maintaining,
if not increasing her lead with the wind not
more than twelve miles an hour off shore.
The Galatea was holding a little more
northerly course than the Mayfiower. The
cutters crew were all punched on the quarter
while those of the sloop were scattered.

NEW YORK, Sept 13-The second attempt
TO sail the race over the outside course be-
tween the sloop Mayfower and the English
cutter Galatea was made Saturday. The
weather was all that could be desired for a
fast race, and as most yatching men declared
sit was a cutters day" From an early hour
the bay presented a very lively appearance;
craft of all descriptions from the white
winged yacht to the immense excursion
steamers. About o'clock the Galatea was
taken in tow by the club tug Luckenbach,
while the Scandinavian did similar service
for the Maytiower. The contestants were towed
down to the Scotland hghtship, arriving off
there about II o'clock. The wind was then
blowing about sixteen miles an hour and after
a few preliminary manCeuvers for position
for a start the final signal was given and the
two racers were off, the Mayfiower having a
lead of nearly two minutes. At first both
yachts stood north, the Mayfower on the
port and the Galatea on the starboard tack.

COULDN'T STAND HER TROUBLE.

A Chicago Woman Gives Corrosive Sab
Innate to Herself and Children.
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-Mrs. Maggie Coma
ford, widowed and without means of sup
porting herself and tHo little children, Friday
administered a dose of corrosive sublimate.
or bi-chloride of mercury, to each in the hope
of putting an end to their misery. She also
took some of the poison. She died soon after
help arrived, but in the greatest agony The
dose given to the little ones was in excess of
the deadly maximum, and the physicians
have hope of saving the baby at least The
dead woman was a comely Irish girl when
four years ago she married Frank Comaford,
and he sickened and died less than six
months afterwards. Since then the
young widow has had hard struggle,
handicapped with her babies, hopeless and
helpless, so far as relatives are concerned

Charges Against a Consul-Genera1

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept, ia letter
from an officer attached to the Asiatic
squadron says charges are now on their way
to the state department against Robert E.
Whithers, consul-general at Hong Kong,
drawn up by American seamen. 1t appears
that the consul-general has been in the habit
of turning over money placed in his hands to
boarding house keepers, with whom the
sailors are forced to remain until they reship.
The landlord, in order that Jack may have as
little money as possible to take away with
him, keeps him drunk until his funds are ex-
hausted, It is also charged that Whithers
extorts fee of S. when they leave ship
and S. when they reship. One
Ameritan sailor, to escape this
fee, asked and received protection from
the British consul-general. The British rep
resentative took the seaman's money, allowed
him to draw sufficient to pay his board, and
on his reshipment turned over the remainder
without deducting any fees for his services.

Shot His Father.

New YORK, Sept. 13.-A special from
Macon, Ga, says: A farmer named S. D.
Arnold, living in Houston county, and his
son John quarreled about the ginning of some
cotton, which ended by the son giving the
lie to his father, upon w hich the latter i'll
stantly struck him over the head with pair
of blacksmith's tongs The son thereupon
drew his pistol and fired three shots in rapid
succession, the first and second shots taking
effect in the right and left shoulders and the
third in the elbow of the left arm. He then
used the weapon In striking his father on the
head, cutting an ulgy cash on his forehead
John Arnold is % years old, and has been
considered by those who knew him best to
have been for some time in o derangod state
Of mind. The father, it is feared, will die of
his wounds.

Fear the knights of Labor.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 13.-The Cambria
Ir0n company at Johnstown, Pa, has asked
Governor Pattison to commission 18S police
men for the protection of its property which
is spread over a wide area, and in danger of
destruction by persons who are opposed to
the policy of the company in not employing
Knights of Labor. The policemen, if Gov
ernor Pattison grants the petition, will be
commissioned under an act of the legisla-
ture and will be in the pay of the iron COM

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept 13.-Secretary

A GIGANTIC STEAL,
Alleged GobbIe of 100000 by City Off.
ciaI of Detroit,

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. ia sensation
has been caused here by the publication Of
charges to the effect that gigantic steal has
been perpetrated in the purchase of Belle Isle
park and the purchase of site for the Belle
isle bridge. 1t is alleged that while 5000, ,O0C
was appropriated for the purchase Of the
park by the common council, the sum actul-
ally paid for the park was $4,000, and of
the $4,000 set apart for the bridge site only
S20, 900 was paid to the owner. 1t is claimed
that S100, 900 has been made on the two trans
actions by the persons connected with the
city government, Those familiar with the
details of both transactions-the lawyers in
the case and the sellers of the property-deny
the charges in toto, and claim that all the
money appropriated went to the owners
of the land, and none was paid out in bribes.

HELD FOR CONSPIRACY.
A Man Offered $50 by a Woman to Com
nit q Murder.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 13.-A man
named George Ehms Thursday made aftida,
Wit before magistrate that he had been
offered $50 by Mrs. Barbara Pressman, a
widow, to murder a man named Frank
Glassmier, and that William Con-
rad and William NJ. Gardner had en-
deavored to persuade him to commit
the deed Mrs. Pressman and Conrad
were arrested, and at a hearing Friday the
former was held in 81 800 bail for conspiracy
to murder, and Conrad in $500 as an accom-
plice Ehms was placed under 81, 900 bail as
a witness. A warrant has been issued for
Gardeners arrest. Ehms states that Mrs
Pressman desired to get rid of Glassneir be
cause he forced his attentions upon her, and
his persistent protestations of admiration
were distasteful to her
Glassmier, upon being interviewed, says he
knows nothing about the above case, and
doesn't believe Ehms' story, as Mrs Press
man is, in his opinion, not such a woman as
the charge would indicate.

ago, went to Hoboken Friday to find him
She there heard he was in Philadelphia, and
proceeded to look up Miss Gllssie Fricka,
whom she suspected of leading her lord
away Mrs. Braitflcld Is small, wiry, and
plain, Miss Fricka is tall, comely in face,
and well-rounded in form. Mrs. Braitfield
was more than match for the siren, and
beat her numerically with an umbrella. The
friends of Miss Fricka say she Is innocent of
any wrong, and has not even seen Braitfield
In six months.
