from san Antonio, Tex. The dispatch
says that Mexican papers have Ueen

Garrett's trip thither, and estimating
Ills wealth up 10 Sl0O,t co, coo. A band
OF halt-breed desperadoes read them,
ard planned to stop the Garrett train
when it entered Mexican territory.
They were 10 be heavily armed,
and were to seize Mr.. Garrett,
thought advisable to detain, and hold
them prisoners in a cave until their
relativesin Baltimore should come down
with a tremendous sum for ransom.
The plan might have succeeded but for
the fact that one o. the outlaws got
drunk and talked about the scheme 10 a
crony In San Antonio saloon one day
last week. The ieEow was q Mexican,
and he talked III a low tone, but a de-

Icated 1t TO his superiors. The Garrett
party were informed, and thought it
safer to change their plans and 20 to
Thomasville and to Jacksonville, which
they did.
A letter received in Baltimore yester-
day, from one of Mr.. CARROTS party,
states the trip TO Mexico has been
abandoned for reasons best known to
Mr.. Garrett and his friends. The letter
further states that Mr.. Garrett has been
much benefited by his trip, and is now
in excellent health and spirits.

FED ON TEA AND COFFEE.
Bonded Warehouse With All Its Con
tents Reduced to Ashes.

CHICAGO, H., March 26.-The Grand
Central Warehouse, at Rush and North
Water Street, this city, was burned to
the ground this morning, and building
and contents are total loss, the aggre-
gate OF which is now placed at 81 SOC, 600.
a singular feature of the affair Is that
twice before, within a comparatively
short time, the building has been on
fire. Two weeks ago there was a slight
blaze in the structure, which, though
easily extinguished, was very suspi-
clous IN its circumstances. Aid. Ma
nierre, owner of the building, said this
morning that he had no doubt the three
TRES were all Of iacendiary origin.
The Grand CeD.ral was government
bonded warehouse, and 80 per cent. OF
its contents were teas and cofees in
bond for the import duty. Their own
ership was undoubtedly distributed.
Perhaps the heaviest losers are Fitch,
Howland & Co.. of this city, who had
$3.50, worth of teas in the building.
Other Chicago firms who had property
in the building, but the amount OF
whose losses is unknown, are: c. B.
Lathrop & Co., Hillyer & Co., Falker
q Stern, Wineman, Conant & Co,
IloDtII Otu1tN N tt.. W. T. ecu
& Co., and the Union National
Bank. Outside firms which lose by
the ire are: Hyde x Southworth
and f. :. Conant & Co., both of Boston
Siegfred 4 Browndenstein, San Fran
cisco; Eppers, Smith, Windman & Co.,
Carter, Hawley * Co., George W, Lane
& Co., and W. z. Roome & Co., all OF
New York City.
An effort was made to ascertain at the
custom house the exact value OF
the tea bonded in the ware
house. Deputy Collector Jewell
was seen about the matter, and
said that the custom-ho books
showed that there WAS no tea in the
building: Il looked it up this morn
ing" said Mr.. Jewell, ''and there does
not appear 10 be pound there"
"How is that? Was not the building
almost exclusively tea warehouse ?"
Eyes, but yesterday l released the
last pound OF tea in the building. |
myself handed Mr.. Manierre the re-
moval permit"
This statement was called to the at
tention of Fitch & Howland, who are
the heaviest losers, and the reply was:
'The deputy collector evidently doesn't
know what he is talking about. There
were between $4,000 and $4,000 pack
ages of tea IN the house, of an aggr egate
value of say $3.50, 0,000.n

Foreign Born Women.

A Camden, n. J.. dispatch of The 18th
says: An interesting question is raised
in a contest commenced to-day over the
election of school trustees in the
borough o. Chiselhurst, Camden
County, last Tuesday night. The elec-
ton was held under the new school
law, allowing women to vote in New
Jersey. Or the iifty-four votes cast,
fourteen were deposited by females,
and the election officers allowed six OF
the women who were foreisn born. to
vote on their husbands naturalization
papers. c. J. Havcock, president OF
the borough mis~ioners-which is
equivalent to the title OF mayor-was
one OF the defeated candidates, and he
has commenced a contest on the ground
that six foreign born women voted lille
gally. He claims that the law intended
that a woman should have no more
privileges than a man in casting her
vote, and if foreign born she must have
been naturaiiZed, after five years resi-
dence IN the country, and otherwise has
no right to vote, even if her husband is
a flull-tledged citizen. The question is
said to be the first of the kind under
the new school law, and it will be made
a test case
