HE NEVER REFORMED.
A Thief Who Robbed His BenefactOr Is at
Last Arrested.


DENVER, Col April 10.-An import
ant arrest was made here yesterday by a
city detective and an officer from Provi-
dence, r l., in the capture of Frank H.
Cushman. Cusman is sbOut 80 years old
and for ten of them has been fugitive.
He is Of one of the first families OF PrOvi-
derce and at one time acted as paying
teller of the Merchants National Bank
Ten years ago he disappeared with S22, 900
of the banks funds. Officers were put on
his track and he led them long, weary
chase through the South, New Mexico,
California aud into Canada. Here all
trace of him WAS lost for time, bat finally
it was discovered he had gone to France.
He was located in Paris and placed in Gus
tody.
After the foImalities of extradition he
was returned TO the United States, con
vcted of embezzlement, and sentenced TO
a term of two years. After serving the
term he was employed by /. M. Got,
wholesale music dealer Of Providence, as
travelling salesman.
Goff was sort of philanthrOpist, and
had the utmost confidence in his ability
TO reform young Cushman, and gave him
position of considerable responsibility.
For several years he apparently attended
strictly to business and merited the faith
reposed in him. About year ago Gotf
noticed a number of his oldest and best
customers becoming delinquent, and spoke
to Cushman about it.
The latter, on behalf Of the customers,
pleaded hard times, and promised to STIR
them up. The deliDquencies continued,
however, and also increased in amount,
uutil Mr.. Goff determined to make per
sonal investigation. This developed the
fact that Cushman had collected the sums
which he failed to report, and his shortage
amounted to over SIS, 600.
Upon Mr.. Gotf7s return home he found
Cushman had disappeared, leaving no ex-
cuse for his departure No trace OF the
fugitive was found until about week ago,
when he wrote to former pastor in Provi-
dence, requesting letter of recommenda-
ton to aid him in securing employment.
The request was dated at Denver, and the
police authorities were telegraphed meagre
details of the affair with instructions to ar
rest the man. The detective said that he
had followed Cusbmsn over 10000 miles
during the last ten years. They lett ior
Providence last night.

PANIC IN a GALE.
Passengers of the steamer hatiahoochie
Lose ALI Hope of Reaching Land.


Lose ALI Hope OF Reaching Land.
NEW YORK, April 1O-The Steamer
Chat;shoOchie arrived from Savannah to-
day. The vessel vas three days overdue
anc came up to her pier in battered con-
dition. The 1876 passengers quickly quit
ted the vessel, glad to oncs more reach
terra frma.
While off BADLY Island Saturday
morning, twenty -fours hours after leaving
Savannah, the Chattahoochie encountered
tAe heavy gale which proved go disastrous
in Southern ports and sunk the Pensacola
in the Norfolk Navy Yard. A high storm
was met and the deck was at one time
covered with pieces of ice to depth Of
two feet. The gale ragged all day with in-
creasing violence.
On Sunday morning at half-past five
o'clock, while the passengers were rocking
in their beIths, giant wave broke over
the deck, carrying away a section Of the
bulwsrks and smashing in the side of the
saloon. Another and another wave fol-
lowed, flooding the saloon and long tier of
sleeping berths. Passengers awOke panic
stricken to find themselves in several feet
GT water. Women and men rushed from
the staterooms crying. Many of them ran
around like maniacs. Others made rush
for the hfe-preservers and tried to make
their way on deck.
Captain Daggett and his officers tried to
calm the passengers, but with small sue
cess. For two days many of the passen-
gers were on their knees in prayer. The
Captain stopped the engines on Sunday,
and the vessel was allowed to drift for 4S
hours. He used all the oil on board to
break the combination of the waves.
II was not until Monday at 10 o'clock
that the engines were again started. The
ChattahcOtchie had drifted 200 miles out of
her course. The vessel has several holes
iu her bows, and part of the bridge
is carried away. The port side, from
stem TO stern, is splintered and smash
cd. Great damage was done below
Five of the State rooms are completely de-
mOlished. Nearly all the crockery and
glassware was smashed, and six Big mir
rors were ruined. The waves were so high
az to reach up to and break the thick glass
ventilatoIs on the upper deck and pour
down the smoke stack. Capt. Dsggett
SAYS it was the worst gale no ever expert
enced, and that during the whole too days
his weasel was in the utmost peril. There
were eighty-six cabin and forty-nine steer
sge passengers, thirty of them women.
