EASILY SCARED.
Eight Masked New Mexicans Prove Not
DeSperadoeS

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, June 1S.-L4ast
night when the west-bound passenger
train stopped at Dorsey on the Santa Fe
eight masked men boarded the platform of
the baggage car next TO the tender Of the
locomotive, and when at the whistling post
half mile from the station, two of the
would-be robbers crawled over the coal
and ordered the engineer to stop the train.
The engineer complied by shutting down
the steam and applying the air to the
brakes and ran on the running board 20
the front of the locomotive.
The fireman was confronted by one of
the robbers, who held revolver close TO
his head, but he jumped while the train
was IN motion and took the back track to
the station, where he notified the train
men of the second section.
The first car of the first section was oc-
cupied by detachment of soldiers and it
was supposed that the escape of the FIRE
man and the presence of the soldiers as
the robbers boarded the platform on the
express cars so intimidated the robbers
that they took to the prairie in the dark
ness and made their escape.
The detachment OF soldiers were with
out firearms and in fact knew nothing OF
the attempt TO rob the train.

AT HEADQUARTERS.
A Popular Belief that Blaine is the Man
GreSham'S Boom.

CHICAGO, June 13-The most remark
| able feature of the situation all day and
throughout the evening was the strong
undercurrent for Blaine. No matter that
he had written two letters declining to be
a candidate under any circumstances, and
no matter even if Chairman Jones had a
third epistle, making the point again a
direct address to the convention, there
were many around the political headquar-
ters, men from all points of the country,
who still expected that Blaine was the
coming man. They quoted his speeches in
which he said that no man had the right
| to refuse the call Of his country if it came
to him with urgency and unanimity, and
concluded that Blaine would not be the
first to violate his own principles. None
of the delegates or men of prominence
would commit themselves publicly on the
subject, but the talk continued neverthe-
| less.
There was greater activity at the Ores
ham headquarters today than there was at
any of the other candidates. The register
was kept open and every Gresham man
who dropped in put down his name. A
good round number were from Indiana.
Many former residents from New York
held a meeting in the Gresham rooms this
afternoon for the purpoSe of booming the
| judge. They organized themselves into a
committee to receive the New York dele
cation with all the hospitality that the
city could extend, and at the same time
work in the interest OF Gresham. They
decided to call upon all former New
Workers, now residents OF Chicago, to lend
their active cooperation. The names of
those who will make the nominating
speeches in the convention was a subject
of considerable inquiry today. General
Alger will be nominated by Col. Robert T.
| Frazer, of Detroit, a lawyer and an old
campaigner, General Harrison will
be named by Ex-Governor Albert
&. Porter, of Indianapolis, VINO
Indianans think is a dark horse
candidate. General Sherman's name will
be presented by General Hastings, attor-
ney general of Pennsylvania. Judge
Greshams name will be presented prop
ably by Leonard Sweet who presented
Abraham Lncoln's name in behalf of Lii
| nois just twenty-elght years ago.
In the constantly increasing groups in
the hotel Hobbies two of the most observed
new Corners today were Murat HaIstead
of Cincinnati, and Chauncey |. Eilley, of
| St. Louis.
Chairman Jones said that he would not
accept the Craftsmanship of the national
| committee again. He intimated that Sem
ator Quay, of Pennsylvania, might be his
| successor: that Chairman Cooper, of the
Pennsylvania state committee, was also
possibility.

A FIENDISH MOTHER.
Mrs. WHEELING. of Philadelphia, Poisons
Her Children for Money.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, June 13.-A de
cided sensation was created IN the cor
oner's Office when Mrs. Sarah Jane White
ling voluntarily confessed that she had
poisoned her two children and had fur
nished her husband with the poison which,
she declared, he took his own life on ac-
count of dependency caused by poverty.
The family lived in poverty in the rear
of No. 1927 Cadwallader street, and the
husband died March 20. the girl April a
and the little boy May 26. Detectives
worked at her for confession
but until today were unsuccess-
full. Finally she broke down from
the weight of her awfnl secret ana mace
clean breast of the whole affair, and
when taken before the coroner detailed to
that official with great minuteness how
she had poisoned the children.
81 gave BERTHE the first dose of poison on
April 21,' the woman said, land on April
"a she died. l put one spoonful OIL the
stuff in glass of water and called the
child to me and said. Now, Bertle here
is some medicine; you must take 1t ike
good GIRL and gave her one spoonful. 1t
made her sick and when the doctor pre-
scribed some powders to be given In water
bought the medicine and gave her a
spoonful of the poison every half hour
instead. 1t made her SO very
sick and L.. she , suffered red So 20 much 1en
before she died / stopped giving her
poison and gave her the medicine, but it
was too late Little Willie died the same
way had the insurance placed on each
child only short time before they died. !"
When asked if she had given poison to
her husband the woman simply main
tanned that he had taken his own life. Il
killed Bertie," she went on, because |
was afraid she would grow up in sin and
crime, as she was a bad child and had
stolen pennies from the neighbors, and
book. The boy killed because he was in
the way. / am sorry now for what | have
done ana want people to pray for me.
Certificates of death from natural causes
were given by the attending physicians in
all three cases.
Mrs Whiteling professed great piety and
last Sunday she went to church IN the
neighborhood of her home, and kneeling
at the altar rail asked the prayers of the
congregation for the forgiveness of her
sins Post norton examinations disclosed
the fact of the poisoning, and she was ar
rested Sunday night. There were sew
eral policies OF insurance on the
lives of the victims, each of them
being for small amount but amounting
in the aggregate to 1868, one OF which she
collected.
Mrs. Whiteling was married in Clinton,
Ia, in 1868 to Tom Brown, The couple
great fire, and few years after Brown
was sent to prison for highway robbery
and died there, and she married John
Whiteling in March, 1880. her child Bertha
being then about months old. Its father
was Thomas Storey.

Views.

Chicago, Jnne 13-By long odds the
central event among the crowds OF poll
ticians today was the arrival of the noted
recipient of Blaine's letter from Florence,
Chairman B. F. Jones of the national Re-
publican committee. Rumors were thick
that the big chairman was the bearer OF
another epistle from the man over the
water. When Mr.. Jones was seen by an
Associated Press reporter his bluff conn
tenance showed heightened color and his
eyes frightened Immediately at the men
ton of another letter from Blaine. The
rumors in circulation were told to the
chairman in detail. Then the question
plumply put: "Mr. Jones have you such a
letter."
The answer was fiat and to the point:
cation has been received by me from Mr..
Blaine since the letter dated Florence
reached me-"
sThen you have received other letters
from him, have you, but not on politics?"
Mr.. Jones hesitated. EYES," he replied
81 have heard from him but there was no
word except what was wholly personal"
"As you have no letter such as de-
scribed Mr.. Jones, a denial of the state
ment that Mr.. Blaine has indicated to you
his choice would be superfuous, of
course?'
Precisely"
''But don't you think yourself that the
situation calls for further expression
from him just at this time, when thers is
talk that the convention will get into a
deadlock and the solution will be call
on him?"
mo, l don't think So No person can
even approximate what this convention
will do The great majority of the dele
gates will come here unpledged, and they
may be able, after conference, among
themselves to nominate candidate at the
very outset. So the talk of what should
be done in the event of deadlock need
not be discussed"
''Just one more question, Mr.. Jones.
These same rumors have it that Mr.. Blaine
would not accept the nomination though
it were rendered to him unanimously, and
has so stated to you. Has he ever given
any such intimatlon?"
"Most emphatically, no."
This closed the interview. 1t had made
two points measureably clear-that new
letter from Blaine was not forthcoming,
and that in the contingency of the conven-
ton rendering him a nomination, the
delegates would have to look beyond Chair
man Jones to learn the result.
