prevent a conflict between the opposing

Mistake for a ForRer-The romeo
VIII Leave for Chicago With
Their Prisoner To-Day.
WINNIPEG, August 3.-When Burke
reached Winnipeg he made his first public
appearance, as far as is known, in the Office
of an employment agent. Burke asked the
agent what the cost Of ticket to Liverpool
would be. He desired particularly that his
railway journey be over the Canadian Pacific
Railway, and that the boat be an Allan
liner, sailing from Montreal. Burke fool
ishly remarked that he wished this route be-
cause he had got into trouble in the States,
and had delicacy in venturing again on
soil owned by Uncle Sam.
While Burke was thus babbling to the
ticket agent there was an interested, though
unobserved, listener to it all. This was
Sergeant Hossack, of the Canadian Pacific
Railway police, who was quietly seated
behind a glass partition. Burke's words
set him on the qui vive, as that same morn
ing he had received from Chief McRae the
description of q forger wanted in the United
States and had been requested by the Chief
to keep a lookout for him. This description,
Hossack found, Tailed to a certain extent
with Burke's appearance, and taken with
his admissions, certainly looked suspicious.
He therefore notified Chief McRae of the
circumstance, and a watch was set for the
suspect. The result was the arrest of Burke,
but it was then found that his appearance
did not tally exactly with the description of
the forger. 1t was certain, however, that
the man was wanted for something, and his
description in detail was wired to Chief
Hubbard, of Chicago. with the query: "Do
you want this man for anything?"
Back came the answer, Hold him: he is
in all probability Martin Burke, wanted
for completely in the Cronin murder" The
result is known. Burke's Identification and
trial and extradition followed, and to-mor-
row he will be en- route for Chicago in
charge of strong guard of police. with
Chief Hubbard in command. Jim Maddern
had nothing to do with the capture. The
necessary warrant arrived to-day from
Ottawa, and Burke was turned oven to the
Chicago officers this afternoon. The party
will leave for Chicago tomorrow.

The Claimants for the Jumel Estate Not All
Heard From.
ESPECIAL TKLEeRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, August s.-John R. Wander
WORT, man of middle age, who lives with
his family in an unpretentious fat over q
store at s77 Eighth avenue, is the latest
claimant to the famous Stephen Jumel
estates, which comprised large tracts
on Washington Heights and in Sara
toga, valued at several millions. Sixty
years ago when Jumel, who emigrated from
France in 1901, assigned his property to his
wife, the legal fight began, with Aaron
Burr as one of the lawyers. Burr won a
victory for the widow against the French
heirs.
Nine. Jumel died in 1865 at her home on
Harlem Heights, and Nelson Chase OBJ
tanned possession of the estates by
buying up the claims of Mime. JumePs
nephews and nieces. Chase was fought Bit
terly in the United States courts by George
w. Bowen, who claimed to be a natural son
of Nine. Jumel, Bowen's suit was unsuc-
cessful, and he died in Providence, in 1885,
at the age of 81. Before his death he as
signed his claims to Mr.. Vandervoort, who
was distant relative.
Bowen's suit, which was begun in 1872,
dragged on through the courts for seven
years, and although the Supreme Court at
Washington decided for him in the equity
proceeding, after several trials of the suit at
common law he lost. In the course of the
proceedings the lawyers of Nelson Chase,
against whom the suit was brought, admitted
that Bowen was a natural son of Nine.
Jumel, and now Mr.. Vandevoort declares
that 65 acres of Washington Heights and
land in Saratoga which were bought by
Madame Jumel after her husbands death,
were Bowen's rightful inheritance.
Mr.. Vandervoort says that several lawyers
have interested themselves in his case, and
that he will shortly endeavor to get posses
sion of the property which he believes to be
his.

PRESIDENT JEFFERSON'S TREE.
The Old Landmark Where the Statesman
Tied His Horse.


Tied His Horse.
Washington Critic.i
Did you ever see Jeferson's tree in any Of
your strolls down the avenue near the Capt.
tol? OF course every one knows the tradition
of how the third President rode to his inau-
guration on horseback, and reaching Tiber
creek he found it too muddy to ford, for the
bridge had for some reason been removed or
swept away. So he tied his horse to a tree
on the bank and walked across the little
footway that had been temporarily erected.
Few have seen this tree, though nearly
every one in the city has passed beneath its
spreading boughs.
1t stands close to the fence, just inside Of
the Botanical Gardens, and its branches ex-
tend over into the street. 1t is a stunted
old affair, not much to look at as a thing OF
beauty. but it goes as relic. Mr.. Smith
makes a sort of pet of the thing. He says it
is over 200 years old, the patriarch of the
Washington tree world. 1t is the father Of
hundreds of trees scattered over the city,
and its children do not consider themselves
above their neighbors because the father Of
Democracy happened to tie his horse to one
of the branches Of their parent few mo-
ments before he was made President

Earthly eyes with love were blinded.
Earthly hearts were filled with Joy,
And they never knew an angel

But the little feet grew weary:
Drooped their blossom day by day;
And with aching heart they watched her.
