the trip with Sullivan by Deputy Sderi'
Childs. He says: Sat every town and sta
ton on the line of the road north of the
Ohio river crowds gathered, and they
cheered loudly as the train passed, even
though they could not see the redoubtable
John. Ladies sent bouquets of flowers to
him, and he was received everywhere as a
conauering hero instead Of prisoner,
though prisoner he was. South of the Ohio
the demonstrations were similar to those
mentioned above At Durant, Miss, Suli-
van received an ovation, and hundreds
crowded around the train and begged to
shake hands with him. Several ladies
entered the car and were introduced to the
hero of the hour When jackson was

pot. Sullivan was met by Bud Remand,

serious crime to be holding a levee and
making a farce of justice.

VICTORIA, B. c. Aug 4.-There is great
excitement here. The schooner Black
Diamond arrived last evening from Behring
sea. Particulars of the seizure by the
American revenue cutter are as follows
On July II we got catch of fifty three
seals. AT 4 pm. we sighted the revenue
cutter Rush. She came up to us and or
dered us to heave to. We did so, when the
chief officer came aboard and demanded our
papers. We refused to give them to him,
and he then got screwdriver and screwed
off the locks ON the hinges in the cabin, took
our papers and los sealskins and all of our
Indian spears, and ten bags Of salt. Then
he put John Hawkins, an able seaman,
aboard, with intructions to US not to inter-
fere, as sailing master. AS soon as the
Rush was lost sight of southwest course
was steered right for Victoria Hawkins
from the start saw that it was impossible
to attempt to take the charge of affairs in
his own hands, and consequently lay in his
bunk nearly the whole time not attempting
to interfere. sryr---
John Hawkins, the American seaman,
says he was treated kindly by everybody.
When he was put aboard the steamer he
said to his officers: ''Instead of taking her
to Sitka they may go to Victoria" They
did not answer him.

The Conductors Story.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. f. In an interview to-
night Conductor Roach, the hero of the
Wabash train robbery said: 1--WE left Kan
sas City last night at s 20 O'Clock, and this
trouble must have occurred at S:45, as
nearly as can Judge. To tell you the
truth, l was so badly frightened l don't
know much about it. Anyway, just after
leaving Kansas City, started to go
through the train to collect my fares, and
just after passing Harlem did my work in
the St. Louis sleeper and started for the
rear door on my way to the St Paul coach,
intending to take up fares in that and the
Des Moines sleeper, which we always bring
out of Kansas City on that train, and leave
at Moberly, where they are picked up and
sent north. When | reached the door and
opened it, l was met by two men
who. had their faces covered by ban
dana handkerchiefs and each one covered
stood on the platform of the St. Paul coach,
waiting upon me and the other stood a
little to the right of the door on the plat
form of the ST. Louis sleeper AS soon as
opened the door the one nearest me said,
Hold up your hands, thought couple of
the boys were putting up little game on
me just for fur, and l laughed and made
some hiking reply. Quick as a flash he
showed the muzzle of his gun into my face

ST. LOUIS, Aug. Sit is given out on
the authority of a postofflce inspector
whose headquarters are in this city that
the famous bandit and train robber, ''Black
Bart" was in st. Louis for ten days prior
to last Friday, and that it is expected that
he had something to do with, if he did not
direct in person, the train robbery near
Kansas City last night. BART took his
meals at the Hotel Brunswick restaurant
while in this city, and, according to the
clerk, he he had loads of money, which he
displayed ostentatiously, and lost no oppor-
tunity to surround himself with mystery.
He did not give his name, however, nor
say what business he was engaged in, but
attempted to convey the idea that he was
a far west farmer. He ordered large
lunch at the restaurant Friday evening,
and said he intended to leave the city by
train, since which he has not been seen. 1t
is not known in what direction he went,
but there is strong supposition to con-
meet him with the train robbery

Loss by the Fire.


HBLESA, Aug. 5.-The business district
of Spokane was in a strip between the
Northern. Pacific railway tracks and the
Spokane river. This strip was five squares
across and extended about seven squares in
length. 1t was solidly built up with brick
and stone structures, the cost of which
varied from SIS, 1000 to SIPS, 600. Ten bank
ing houses, five hotels. the opera house and
many wholesale establishments doing bust
ness estimated at half million dollars
each, were situated within the district de-
scribed. The estimate of $4,000, 900 is be-
lieved here to be exaggerated. Half that
amount is thought to be nearer the actual
figure, assuming that the reported complete
destruction of the city is correct. The
population of Spokane Falls is 10000 The
city possessed, supposedly, an excellent
water works, modelled after the Holley
system, with a capacity of 100000 gallons
daily. There were no fire engines, but it
was believed that by the system in use five
or six good sized streams of water could be
concentrated upon any block in case of
fire. The fire department was volunteer
one.
AS to insurance, the best information is
that no large amounts were carried Build
ings which cost from thirty thousand to
forty Thousand dollars are known to have
had but from six thousand to ten thousand
dollars insurance.
The chief losses, as nearly as can be
learned from reports that have reached
Helena, were the following: Holley.
Mason, Marks & Co., wholesale hardware,
Sl25, 900; the Great Eastern wholesale and
retail dry goods, 100000; Benham &
Grifiths, wholesale grocers, $40. 900;
Mason, Smith & Co., $4,000; the Pacific
hotel, $4,000; the Grand hotel, $40, 900;
the Windsor hotel, sos, 600: Hyde block,
S75, 900; Washington block, SIS, coo; Cannon
block, $4,000; Crescent block, $50, 900:
Moore block, $4,000; First National
Bank block, S25,06O; Wolverton block,
1000; Frankfort block, Sl25,OOO Full
block, S75, 900.
Much comment has been excited here by
the extraordinary series which has been
formed by confiagrations in Washington.
First came the fearful disaster at Seattle,
the chief city of the new state From

That flourishing city was nearly destroyed

suffers by far worse calamity.

The MAVERICK Murder,

LIVERPOOL, Aug 5.-At the trial of Mrs.
Maybrick for the murder of her husband
to-day during the examination of wit
ness for the defense, Dr. Mcnamara, ex-
president of the Irish College of Surgeons,
testified that in his opinion Mr.. Maybrick' s
death was due to gastro-enteritis and not
to arsenic.
DR. Paul, of Liverpool, Pathological ex-
aminer in Victoria university, declared
that it would take months to eliminate
arsenic from the system if it were taken
OYER twice. He also thought the symp-
toms in the case of Mr.. Maybrick accorded
with those of gastro-enteritis.
A chemist testified that ladies often pur-
chased fly papers for use as cosmetics.
A hairdresser said that arsenic was
frequently used by ladies to improve their
complexion.
Mr.. Poole, ex-mayor of Liverpool, testi-
fed that in March last Mr.. Maybrick had
told him that he took poisonous medicines
habitually.
This concluded the evidence. and
Mrs. Maybrick then read her statement.
In this she explains the presence of fly
papers in the house by saying that she
had bought them for use as cosmetics. In
former years she used a cosmetic pre-
scribed by DR.. Griggs, of Brooklyn. which
contained arsenic; she had lost the pre-
scription, and wishing to make substitute
had soaked the fly papers in elder flower
water and lavender water and had covered
the vessel holding the mixture with a plate
and towel to exclude the air. Continuing
Mrs. Maybrick said: Son the night of May
9 after the nurse in attendance upon my
husband had given him some meat juice,
went and sat by his bed. He COM
planned of being very sick and depressed,
and implored me to give him a powder
Earlier in the day he had made similar
request and l had declined to administer
the powder, but that evening was over
wrought, terribly anxious, and miserably
unhappy His distress unnerved me, and
as he said the powder was harmless and l
could put it in his food, consented to mix
it with some meat juice, which l gave to
him. After taking it the deceosed fell
asleep and appeared better on awakening.
was not anxious to administer the powder
Afterwards l placed the bottle containing
the meat juice on the washstond, where it
remained until Michael Maybrick, my
brother-in-law, took possession of it. The
day before my husband died 1 made full
confession to HIM of the fearful wrong 1
had done him and received his forgive
ness" This statement caused a sensation
in the court room.

run on rock on the end of Rose island in
this harbor. The Boston has just com
pleted the last of a series of important
trials in Narrangsett bay and was return

the accident occurred. No sooner did the
schooner strike than off she slid. In an
instant all the water thight compartments
were banged thight shut, but not before
the compartments of the double bottom
under the engine room were completely
flooded. The Boston was at once headed
close in for shore, and now with
all her compartments tightly shut

amidships. This morning she was lifted on
one side while a diver examined her bot
tom. The amount of damage is not yet
known. The officers are reticent.

and upholding the dramatist as an evange-
list. Other critics, among whom is Gle
ment Scott, believe that his plays should be
carefully edited to suit the requirements of
the English stage, knocking out good deal
of pedantry and verbiage, which bore and
depress people instead of entertaining
them.
Mr.. Palmer caughta bit of the Ibsen craze
and went to see the "Pillars of Society"

he said to an interviewer, land | think
very strongly of taking it 10 New York;
Mr.. Palmer did not say so, but it was
easily inferred from his conversation that
if he does produce the play in America he
will not hesitate to do what the people who
produced the play in London very carefully
refrained from doing-modify the text

talk.
II don't think" said Mr.. Palmer s'that
the play would be possible in any other
theatre in New York but the Madison
Square. But l do think that we have
enough cultured people there to make the
play profitable one if put on at the Madi-
