Thousands Of Veterans in Chicago
En- Route to the Encampment.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Veterans bound
for Milwaukee continued to arrive in
the city on every incoming train to-day.
1t is thought that over $4,000 men with
encampment tickets passed through the
city during the day. Tonight Gen.
Hovey and the greater part of the
Indiana delegation reached the city,
and were at once transferred to spe-
cial over the St. Paul road. The de-
partment commander, Gen. Travis, was
present Gen. James S. Martin, de-
partment commander of Illinois, left
with Posts Five and Twenty-eight
on the Wisconsin Central tonight.
Gen. Martin and staff attended Mrs.
Logan's reception and expected that
she would ride with them at the head
of the procession On their arrival in
Milwaukee. There is some misunder-
standing which is liable to cause ill
feeling in this connection, however.
AS Illinois was the pioneer state in the
organization she has always been given
the post of honor hitherto. Yesterday
Gen. Mart in received dispatch from
Col. A. d. Reade in Milwaukee, one Of
the aides, saying that Grand Com
mander Weigle had given the depart
ment of Missouri this place and that he
had entered protest in Gen. Martins
name. Gen. Martin wired as followsin
reply: Your protest timely and fully
justified. Our position in the parade
was established by last national en-
campment. However, will be guided
by Commanper Warmers sense of pro-
priety and fairness. James S. Martin.

Oshkosh Society Stirred Up by a
Sensation.
Special to the Globe.
OSHKOSH, Wis.,, Aug. 26.-Early in
April Theodore Schlaebitz came to Osh
kosh from Los Angeles, Cal. He had
spent some time in the city couple of
years ago, and was not an entire
stranger. Of fine personal appearance,
and apparently possessing ample means,
he soon became favorite in German
social circles. Some three weeks after
his arrival it was announced that
Schlaebitz had purchased the interest of
Mr.. Wendorff in the firm of Voight q
Wendorff, one of the largest and Oldest
established grocery houses in Northern
Wisconsin. Shortly after a brilliant
wedding occurred at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Voight, whose daughter
became the wife of his junior partner.
All went we'll until last Saturday night.
MUcll a iluuuSOlIC WOlldlI w lCii

Oshkosh house. With her babe in her
arms and accompanied by relative she
at once went direct to the store of
Voight & SchlaebitZ. Seeing the junior
member of the firm OH the sidewalk in
front of the store she said, THAT is the
man." Schlaebitz turned, observed the
woman and fed. 1t now develops that
Schlaebitz, expecting trouble, had in
formed his wife and relations that he
intended to be out of the city for a few
days on business, they knowing nothing
Of the true cause of his hurried depart
ure. The woman in the case swore out
warrant charging Schlaebitz with bas-
tardy, and told a pitiful story Of his
duplicity. Her name is Augusta Hoppe
and her home is at Lincoln. Neb., where
her parents are we'll to do. She had
met Schlaebitz and promised to be his
wife. He had gone to Los Angeles to
prepare home for her, and after re-
ceiving few letters, heard nothing
more of him. Miss Hoppe is a hand

Schlaebitz to justice. The Voight fam
ily, upon whom Schlaebitz has brought
disgrace, are among the oldest and most

way to Europe.

ROGERS, ROAST.
He Pitches Into the Lowry Com
pany With Great Gusto.

After adjournment for dinner E. G.
Rogers. one of the Dawson-Lindeke
syndicate, took the floor and delivered
himself of royal roast of the st. Paul
City Railway company, which, by slip
of the tongue, he sometimes denomi-
mated Tom Lowry. He said that if the
city of st. Paul were to have master,
a king, King Lowry would suit him as
we'll as any other. But he had about
made up his mind that we didn't have
to. His positive opinion was that the
question of granting Tom Lowry
further privileges could only be settled
in the courts. He said that one reason
in favor of allowing the st. Paul City
railway to build the experimental lines
was because citizens would have to
pay but one fare, whereas if
private individuals built them
there would be two fares.
He alluded to Mr. Lowry's taking pos
session of University avenue, Concord
street and West Seventh street as all
insolent menace to the liberties of the
citizens. There had been some strange
legislation that would not bear investi-
CATION in reference to the st. Paul City
Railway company. There was prohibit
tiOn on legislation last winter. He re-
viewed the history of the charter and
the litigation which grew out of it at
various times, and which the public is
familiar with. He confessed to stand
on dangerous ground, but thought some
one ought to come before the council
and tell these things. Applause from
the gallery.] The speaker excoriated
the city for not joining Nash, Of
Pleasant avenue, in his injunction suit
against the street railway company.
which was finally lost in the supreme
court. The supreme court went out of
its way to speak of the "rights of indi-
viduals." Had the city been back of
the suit, it might have ended differ
entity.
At this juncture Col. Lowry gave a
little laugh, which caused Col. Rogers
to turn upon him with scorn and loath-
ing. Col. Rogers was now thoroughly
aroused, and happening to think of the
courts. he Illuminated against them by
saying that courts never decide any
thing that they are not compelled to,de-
eide, They'll kick out every case that
they can on technicalities. Mr.. Nash

TO BLOW UP A PRISON.
Matricide Latimer Detected in
Devilish Plot.

Matricide Latimer Detected in a
Devilish Plot.
JACKSON, Mich, Aug. pa great
sensation has been unearthed at the
state prison. The matricide, Irving
Latimer. whose crime and trial attracted
such widespread attention, has been de-
tected in plot to blow up the prison,
and quaint tity of explosive has been
found within the prison wall. Latimer
was locked in the solitary dungeon at
once on the discovery of the plot. For
six weeks past the warden has expected
that Latimer was at the head of a dar-
ing and devilish scheme to blow
up the prison, and he has
been watched closely. Last Friday
''lumper" or chore man was detected
in getting package near the north wall
which had been thrown over by out
siders during the night. A watchman
got the package, having traced it to
Latimer. 1t contained quantity of
Hercules powder, one of the most pow
ertul explosives. Warden Hatch has
refused to state the details, and wants
to keep the matter quiet so that he may
catch Latimer'S outside accomplice. and
he will not state what Latimer says
about it. From other, but reliable
sources, it is learned that old prisoners
have made use of Latimer's money and
secured outside influence to execute
the scheme, which would, if entirely
successful, have destroyed the prison
and let 800 cOnvictS loose. This scheme
has been cOntempled for the past year,
and did not originate with Latimer.

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 26.-The enthusi-
asm OF local Democrats as the time for
the convention approaches is far ahead
of anticipation. Since the Millerites
had their grand hurrah, and placed in
nomination a complete prohibition
ticket, there has been an under-current
of disaffection among Republicans,
which is fast coming to the surface, and
will be further demonstrated in the
near future. Arrangements are COM
pleted for a cordial reception to the
delegates, and everything will be done
to make thesr visit to the first Demo
cratic state convention of North Da-
kota a pleasant one. The committee of
arrangements consists of r. +. Adler, @.

RHINELANDER, Wis, Aug. 26.-The
Northern Wisconsin bandit is again at
work, this time holding up the stage
from Gogebic Lake to the station on the
Lake Shore road. The stage left the
hotel this morning with four passen-
gers, one man named Flosholm, from
Belvidere, ILL.,; r. Rintol, of Chicago.
connected with the Bank of Montreal,
and d. Mackirchar. chief clerk of the
First National Bank of Minneapolis.
The party had gone about three miles,
and, when passing thicket, a young
fellow stepped out and told the party to
hold up their hands. He then said:
"Gentlemen, | am going to take up
little collection this morning." Mac
kirchar, who was Oh the back seat, only
raised one hand. and with the other
reached into his hip pocket for
ing the robber how much of
a collection he wanted. The robber
took little firmer grip on his two six
shooters, and said he only wanted about
= $500. By this time Mackirchar drew his
revolver and fired almost simultaneously
with the robber, who had not before
noticed Mackirchar'S movements. Two
shots were exchanged, Mackircher be-
ing hit in the mouth and knee. If the
robber was hit he did not show it. The
horses started at first fire, and the stage
was soon out of the way. Flosholm,
who was sitting with the driver, was
shot through the body and fell off into
the road, and could not be rescued by
The others of the party, as the robber
stald by him. The driver and three men
went to Gogebic and gave the alarm.
Men Immediately started out
TO CAPTURE THE RoBBER
and get the wounded man, while
Mackircher, Radon and Rintol
got aboard the train. Mackircher
was now very weak from loss of blood.
They arrived here at p. M, and the
wounded man was cared for by physi-
clans. The ball in the face struck the
jaw bone and glanced up to near the
right ear. 1t was removed, and the leg
wound is the only one which may prove
serious. All three state that the robber
was cool and collected, and had the ap-
pearance of having
DONE SIMILAR JOBS BEFORE.
He was young fellow, abouttwenty-
five, with slight mustache, and was
dressed in black coat and light pants.
The driver had $500 with him, and the
robber was probably after it, as the driver
thinks he has been about the lake for
several days. Flosholm was badly

THE CHAMBER CHIPS IN
And Vigorously Roasts the Lowry
COmpany and All Concerned.


Company and All Concerned.
The meeting Of the chamber of COM
merce yesterday morning took the form
of an indignation demonstration. The
tearing up of Sixth street as a prelimi-
nary to laying street ear tracks thereon
by the st. Paul City Railway company
was the subject of discussion, in the
course of which Lowry, the city author
tiles, the mayor and everyone else even
remotely connected with the deal came
in for very thorough roasting. <. w.
Peet brought in resolution in which
the opinion ofAthe chamber was shown
to be that the laying of street car tracks
on Sixth street was unnecessary, incOn-
venient and undesirable, and that the
street should be left for other vehicles
than those of the street car company.
The resolution was promptly adopted,
as also was one by Mr.. Smalley,
that the mayor and city council be earn
estly requested to take immediate steps
for the prevention of and occupancy by
the street car company of the street in
question. Mr.. Peet thought it only just
and reasonable that citizens should
have one street left them upon which
driving without danger from collision
with a cable or horse car would be pos
sible. Mr.. Rogers got right down to
bed rock at once. by offering an amend
ment that the city council be ordered to
prohibit the company from LAYING
tracks Oil any of the streets of st. Paul.
He remarked that Mr.. Peet's resolution
was an utterly useless produc-
tion, and would be source
of merriment to Mr.. Lowry.
Continuing, Mr.. Rogers remarked that
while Lowry was up to his neck in ap-
plications for electrical franchises, and
the council is considering that very
question, he and his infamous monopoly
spring their rails on all the streets of
the city leading outward. In his opinion
it was a menace and an insult to th3
city, to the city council, to the business
interests and to each individual tax
payer within the city limits. So far as
the company's charter was concerned it
was put through to put money into the
pockets of some of the men who were
in the legislature. ''As poor as am,"
said Mr.. Rogers, II will subscribe $3.50
to $1,000 to see whether Lowry owns
this town or not. don't care what Mr..
Lowry has done for the city: such hum
bug ought not to be considered for
moment. / think there is stamina and
sense enough in the citizens of st. Paul
to find out if the city is tied to Mr..
Lowry or the company through its
mayor who is, or through the council
which seems to be-"

by several other members. COpsidera-
bic sparring between w. p. Murray and

marks by the latter gentleman.

M. GilmaD-in the state; but
he needed the backing of the whole city
to win his sase. The colonel said that
Mr.. Lowry's ordinance did not give him
the exclusive right to lay tracks on the,
various streets. The word exclusive"
never once appeared. Lowry's claim
did not rise even to the dignity of a
myth. "There is something substan,
tial about myth. but not so with Tom
Lowry and his unconstitutional ordi-
nance, the arrogant humbug. The SUI
preme court lodged Ihe question by
saying it wasn't before them. They
have not decided it, and they never
will. If the city of st. Paul has not got
the sand to contest this case, will fur
nish the sand and the money for them"

rhetorical flourish on the subject of st.

sons crops.
Counsellor John NJ. Gilman. also Mr..
Mr.. LOwry'S attorney, then took the
floor and reviewed the Nash case, cor.
recting some misstatements of Col.
Rogers. Mr.. Gilman thought the st.
Paul City railway would most probably
give the best service, and for that reat
son advocated giving them franchise.
Mr.. Foulke volunteered few remarks
adverse to Mr.. Lowry, chiefly on ac-
count of the charge that ''it is long
time between cars" OF Oakland avenue.
A competing line would run cars oftener
than one every twenty minutes.
Assistant County Attorney M. d.
Mum denied that any one wanted to
blackmail Mr.. Lowry. That's what he
had been moved to say by Mr.. Lowry's
speech. He animadverted upon Mr..
Lowry's placing inferior rails on West
Seventh street to keep competitors of
the territory.
City Attorney Holman, being called
upon, said that he regarded the council
as his clients, and, being forced to
give counsel in public, he would not ad.
wise them to litigate points already de-
cided by the courts. But if directed by
his clients to bring suit, he would obey
orders. He advised the council to grant
franchises to the different corporations
and let them fight 1t out.
