Edwin S. Jewell, officers of the Century Book
and Paper company, of Chicago, were in
dicted by the grand jury for conspiracy to
defraud. For some weeks the business
methods of this company have been a mat

Dick Halves was brought out forsentence for
the murder of his wife and child. Judge
Greene had deferred sentence tor the reason
that it was desirable that but few persons be
present AS the prisoner entered the court
room the. deep anxiety caused by his desper-
ate situation was always plainly portrayed
by the lines upon his face Halves has
changed considerably since his trial. and
looks badly. When ordered to stand up for
sentence he arose slowly his frame shuddered
and his head was bowed. In responce to the
question as to what he had to say why SEN
tence should not be passed upon him, HAYES
replied: I do not think l have had fair
trial, but hope the supreme court will give
me one. I could say much more, but do not
believe it would do any good. Judge Greene
then sentenced Halves to be hanged on July
- next.

Steamers Collide

MONTREAL, Que, Nav pa serious col
Hslon occurred in the river early this morn-
ing between the royal mail steamer Polyne-
sian, OF the Allen line, commanded by Capt
Hugh Wylie, and the steamer Cynthia, of the
donaldson line, commanded by Capt John
Taylor, resulting in the sinking of the latter
vessel and The loss of eight of her crew. The
Polyneslan left port and proceeded down the
Varennes channel. Opposite Point Trembles
she perceived the Cynthia inward-bound.
There IS dangerous curve in the channel at
this point, and through some misunderstood
ing OF the "rule of tae road" the Polynesian
was brought into collision with the Cynthia,
striking her on the port bow and causing
such gap in her side as to sink her in few
minutes, the vessel filling with great rapid
ity. Those on deck had barely time to rush
below and warn the members OF The crew
who We're off watch and asleep in their
berths to get on deck and swim ashore to
save their lives. The Cynthia carried no
passengers. She was from Glasgow, with a
general cargo, chiefly of pig iron. Following
is list of the crew of the Cynthia who lost
their lives:
Hugh Irving, chief clerk, of Glasgow: Alexan-
der Nicholas, sailor, Glasgow; Andrew Vance
and Charles McCracken. trmmers; James Low,
fireman, glasgow: James ferrOn, DOaCSWa1n {:
Charles Blackstock, mess room boy. and David
Young, stowaway from Glasgow.
The cargo of the Cynthia comprised about
$50 tons of pig iron and 500 tons of coal
Though the people on the Polynesian must
have teen quite aware of the damage
wrought, the vessel never stopped to tender
aid The sailors of the Cynthia claim that
the Polyuesian steamed right ahead and that
had she stopped she could have saved the
men who were drowned. They also state
that there were fifteen men on shore who,
although there were boats near by, did not
raise finger even in an attempt to rescue
the drowning sailors The Poiynesian had a
big hoe stove in her bow.

Crimes and Criminals.

Matilda Christianelli became crazy on O.
train in Michigan, and in resisting arrest hit
the city marshal on the head with some hard
substance tied in handkerchief. Upon in
vestigation the handkerchief was found to
contain 5000, and belt around her waist
held twice as much more cash. She was on
her way to relatives in Vulcan, Mich. Herin-
sanity was due to excessive drink and loss of
sleep on the trip, her anxiety to watch her
wealth causing her to travel from Washing
ton Territory without closing her eyes.
,E. l.. Gillespie, late doorkeeper of the sen.
ate at Lincoln, Neb., disappeared from his
home in Valentine six weeks ago. and has
not since been heard from. He left while his
wife was visiting in the country taking with
him two trunks, one of them filed with her
clothing. Since he disappeared it is discov-
cred that he is short in his accounts with
three insurance com panies whose agent he
was. His wife is in destitute circumstances,
and is lookingfor employment. The amount
of the shortage is not known, but is said to
reach many thousand dollars.
John G. Bradley, cashier of the Merchants
National bank at New Haven, Conn, was ar
rested charged with embezzement. The loss
to the Merchants bank may reach 500, 900.
1t is said Bradley and Charles w Palmer
discounted notes without the knowledge of
the directors, and it has covered a space OF
several years. Palmer has been arrested also.
Teller Palmer has made a full confession OF
all the transactions The general opinion
is that the affair is much worse than tie
bank officials care to admit. Bradley is
about fifty years of age; is very popular He
was prominent in church circles, and was
also prominent in military circles. Palmer
is about forty years old and has been with
the bank nearly twenty years
The old story Of Van R. MacVeagh, the
ST. Paul salesman, and Annie Rosch, is
again on the tongues of the gossips, who
have it that, in spite of all that transpired,
| Armies still loves her Mac and is willing to
bury the past and go to his arms. Annie
| has been living at Grafton, Oak, for some
| time and it was thought the exposure of the
| case had cured her of her infatuation but
| from remarks which she let fall at times it
| has been suspected lately that she was in
communication with the old lover. She
! brooded over her trouble so much that at
times she would give way to fits of hysteria.
and would then talk wildly about :sMac, 2
as she called him. This state OF affairs could
| not last. and there was little surprise evinced
| when it was found that Annie had left the
/ city on q freight and that MacVeagh was
awaiting her at Winnipeg under the name of
Louis.
What bears every indication of clever
robbery occurred at the Bank OF Montreal.

1t has developed as an actual fact that
deal for the sale ola Milwaukee brewery to
the English syndicateis nearly consummated,
and it appears to be almost certain that the
brewery in question is that of the Cream City
Brewing company. The Cream City brewery
is one Of the smaller institutions of the kind,
but with the trade it enjoys, is said to be
worth we'll on toward 81 100000, which is
the price at which the sale will be made.

Heavy frosts visited nearly the entire
Northwest on Dist. and 22nd. of May and in
many instances ice formed and vegetables
were frozen to the ground. Garden truck
and young plants OF every description suf-
lered considerably, and fruit trees were
badly damaged. Fears are entertained for
corn and barley, but as both are barely out
of the ground it is probable that neither
will be seriously injured. While the frosts
were very severe wheat was not damaged. z

The Indians at Standing Rock held q big

The Chicago News says: The possibility
that the English government through its
secret agents, may have had something to
do with the Cronin mystery, is not being
lost sight Of. Irish Americans generally,
with this thought in view. have been closely
watching developments. One well posted
gentleman said recently: Scotland Yard has
a finger in every Irish pie. It would be
queer, indeed, if the Cronin business proved
the first exception. Now, who is the benefc-
iary in this Cronin business-Who is the
loser? Let it hurt or help what single per-
son it may. the chief gain, UNNECESSARILY,
is to the Tory government of England; the
main harm far exceeding the disgrace of any
individual, is to- the Irish national move
ment in America.

are those of the city of New York. But
both the ships fly the British flag,
