Another Enoch Arden story has been
unearthed as the result of a dull
day for news. 1t is to the effect that

dent in the South, twelve years ago, has
one of the pioneers of Minneapolis, and
is well remembered by old settlers. Not
supposing he was alive, his wife again
married, but has since died. He has
two SONS living in Minnesota. who made
a faithful effort TO unravel the mystery
of their fathers disappearance, but
were unsuccessful until few days ago.
Mr.. Cheney is ninety years old, and is

AN OLD GAME.
Two Jewelry Thieves Work 1t
Fine, But Are Pinched.

Fine, But Are Pinched.
Early last evening two well-dressed
men entered Donaldson's jewelry store,
on Washington avenue south, near Sec
ond avenue, and asked to see some
rings and watch chains. The clerk set
several trays out before them, and the
two men began examining the goods
and pricing them. just then two other
men came in, and, going farther
back in the store, called the clerk,
and soon started row. While
this row was going on, the
two men who had come in first had left
the store. AS soon as they had gone the
other two men calmed down and after
talking moment passed out onto the
street. When the clerk went to put
away his trays of jeWelry he found that
several articles valued at perhaps $50 or
S75 were missing. While he stood at
the show case putting the remaining
goods away a barber having his shop
near by came in and presenting a watch
charm asked what it was worth. The
clerk recognized it as some of the
stolen property, and succeeded in get
ting from the barber description of
the man from whom he had purchased
it. PatrOlman McNulty was called, and
soon found the two men who had come
into the store and examined the Jew
elry. He arrested them both, and
taking them to the first precinct police
station, searched them. Nothing of a
suspicious nature was found on
them, and they were on the
point of being released when Jailer
Kennedy noticed one of them, tall,
well-dressed man of about thirty-five,
make peculiar motion, as though try
ing TO shake something down his leg.
The prisoners were then taken into
private room and made to strip. In the
stocking of the tall one was found
several articles of jewelry, which Mr..
Donaldson identified as his. When az
rested the fellow had slipped it inside
will be ARA gned this morning.

THE WONDERFUL GLEASON.
He Is Again Greeted With a Large
Audience.

The second appearance of Prof. O. r.
Gleason, the king of horse tanners, at
the Washington rink last evening, was
well attended. The first animal brought
into the sawdust arena was a powerful
grey horse owned by William
Anderson, and was shyer.
He was quickly brought to time, and
then horses owned by d. M. Gilman
and John Ryan, shyers and kickers,
were successfully dealt with. The third
performance will be an interesting one,
the introduction of $1,000 animal pos
sessing various faults.
The management desires to express
its apologies to the fire department for
being unintentionally called out
through the carelessness of some one
unbeknOWn to it.

The Irish Republican Club Turned
Up Absent. 5IL


There was meeting Of the Irish Re-
publicans called at the Nicollet house
at O'Clock last evening, but at that
hour no Irish Republican had put in an
appearance. Three-quartels of an hour
later NJ. O'Riley and Mr.. Quinn came
strolling in, and held the meeting. The
third Irish Republican, DR.. Collins, did
not turn out for some reason,
SO the meeting was not as
lively as had been anticipated.
Mr.. O'Riley was made chairman and
Mr.. Quinn secretary. The meeting
went into committee of the whole and
discussed various public affairs at some
length. 1t is understood that ringing
resolution was adopted denouncing all
men who leave the Republican party
and become Democrats on being pre-
Sented with an office. Secretary Quinn,
it is said, wanted resolution adopted
denOuncing all Democrats who desert
their party and 60 over to the Republic
cans when given an Office by Republi-
can official, but this was ruled out of
order by the chairman, who said there
no use in springing old gags on the
meeting.

DYnamiters Arrested

CHICAGO, July 5,-Thomss T. Brod-
erick and j, Bowles, members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and a man Wilson were arrested on
the C. B. & Q. r. R. train near Au-
rora this afternoon. They had dyna-
mite in their possession aud are charged
with conspiracy to destroy the rail
road company's property. They
are in the county jail, each
under bond of 5000. II is stated
that the Burlington Company has
had large force OF detectives :or some
time watching the movements of the
strikers. 1t was discovered that dYna-
mite was used III several unsuccessful
attempts to wreck trains within the
past month. Officials of the road state
tonight, that positive information was
received that to-day was the day
chosen for grand attack upon the COM
pany's property. Officials are reticen1
regarding their resources of informa-
ton, but the plot is known to them,
and they admit that be>ides the
definite plan to blow up trains
On the tracks by means of dyna-
mite cartridges, that il included
the probabilities OF an attack upon
the depot property Eand the magnificent
office buildings here. Officials say that
had not the danger been so imminent
they would have allowed the consptra-
tors to go on and criminete themselves
further; but the plot had reached q
stage where it was necessary to take de-
cislve steps to prevent great destruc-
ton OF property, not to say loss of life.
When the men were arrested to-day,
one of them took from his pocket let.
ter and threw it out of window. The
train was stopped and the letter picked
up. 1t is now in the hands of District
Attorney Ewing. He refuses to rev cal
its contents, but General Man
ager Stone minated that it
gave important information regarding
greatly az tate when arrested and
missioners Office here, and demanded
that Chairman Hoge be sent for. When
he arrived they recognized him at
once, but he claimed not to know them.
Detectives found on the seat on the
train in which they arrested the three |
men several sticks of dynamite, and |
on opening valise, found 8 number |
of dynamite cartridges. The men dis |
claim all knowledge to this property |
and say it don't belong to them. One
of them was very much sgitated. while
the others wee composed. Neither of
the three would tell their place
Of residence. They have been
about on the 90" system
for some weeks. District Attorney
Ewing arraigned the men under Sec
ton 5,253 of the United States revised

Of a high explosive on passenger trains.

until the Burlington off,

THE LEAD IMPORT QUESTION.

Senator Edmunds presented to the
S nate to-day a report of the Judi
ciary committee of laws relating
to the importation of lead
in gold and silver ores. The
Senate on juno 18th adopted a
resolution asking the commit ee to in
vestigate the subject of the importa-
ton of free of duty lead ore. The
committee say that lead ore in it's legal
and commercial sense is dutiable at ~
cents per pound, but from the exami-
patton of persons on the subject re
ferred to the committee it appears the
question involved is an important one
of what are known 10 the Treasury De-
partment as gold and sill

OF this character the committee
inclines to the opinion that when they
contain more lead than gold and silver
in quantity, but more Of gold and sill
yer in value, lead Is not subject to duty
Prior to the act OF 1888 these ores were
known as gold and silver ores, aad it is
to be assumed that Congress knew of
this commercial Interpretation when

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The Presi-
dent returned, without his approval
the Senate bill to grant a pen
sion to J. B. Morton, of Nebraska
as dependent father of Calvin Morton,
who claimed that his son was killed in
battle with the Indians in the Custer
massacre. The President says his
name does not appear in any record of
the soldiers engaged in that battle, and
considering the complete list of casual
ties attending that battle, the death of
the son of the beneficiary is far from
being satisfactorily established. The
Senate bill to pension Polly A. Smith,
widow of Lieutenant ]. II. Smith, Sec
ond artillery, who served in the army
from 1854 to 1870. was also returned
without the executive approval, on the
ground that his death had no connec-
ton with the service.
