Affecting Meeting Between Mr.
and Mrs. Burchail.

WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept. 10. - The
grand jury this afternoon rendered {
true bill against j. Reginald Burchall
for the murder of Frederick G. Benwell.
Arrangements have been completed be,
tween the counsel on each side, and un
less something extraordinary happen:
beween now and 10 O'Clock Monday
morning the case will be taken up then,
A reporter was permitted this afternoon
by the officials to take look through
the Jail around which SO much interest
seems to center now. The reporter
caught glimpse of Burchall as he was
passing down stairs with Turnkey
Forbes to enjoy half hours exercise
in the yard. The prisoner wore black
suit Of clothes, had clean shave, and
was enjoying his after-dinner smoke as
he sauntered through the hail. Around
his neck was red handkerchief, while
his hat was stiff black Christie of the
latest style. He glanced at the reporter
as he went out, and in the yard he
cllatted as freely as ever with his guard
aud the other prisoners. In his cOnver-
sation he appears 0uoyant and cheerful,
but look into his face tells better
than words that he passes many

INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY.
High-Handed Proceedings by
Printers at Monmouth, Ill.

MONMOUTH, ILL.,, Sept. 19.-The union
printers on the Daily Journal of thii
city struck last Tuesday. The force
was about evenly divided between IN
ion and non-union men. The foreman
who was a recent acquisition, to the
force, discharged non-union man tt
make room for one who belonged to tue
union. The proprietor would not al.
low this, whereupOn the union meH
quit work. forcing the non-uniOn meg
to go out also. Tuesday night the
union men received information
that Linn, one of the
non-union men, was going to work the
next day. They Immediately visited
him and threatened To kill him unless
he left the town Immediately. lie was
last seen being escorted to the depot. Ii
is feared by some that Linn has met
with foul play. Lebenecher. another
non-uDion man, went to work Wednes-
day. When he left the Office the union
men were lying in wait and made
for him with clubs and brickbats. and
would probably have seriously injured
him but for the Intervention of some
citizens. The affair caused much ex-
citement, and the alleged leaders of the
strike have been indicted by the grand
jury for conspiracy and intimidation.
Five more are now i'll jail and quiet has
been restored.

SWEPT OVERHEARD.
Eight Men Lost From the Ship
CHALLENGER


BosToN. Sept. 19.-The ship Chal-
lenger, of Bath, put in herein distress
to-day. She had nothing but her fore and
main lower masts with fore and
main yards standing. Capt. Thomp-
son reports he experienced ad-
verse winds nearly the whole time after
leaving West Hartlepool until the
hurricane of Aug. 81. Eight men were
lost overheard and four injured. Dur
ing the threatening weather just pre-
ened most of the sails, and when
the wind struck the ship, all
hands were aloft hauling in
the others. The jibs filled and carried
away the jib-boom. top mast and top
gallant mast, and the men were either
thrown into the sea or landed on por-
tions of the wreckage, few falling to
tile deck uninjured. L. G. II. Mexican
had his left leg broken, Thomas
Quinn had two ribs fractured. and Sea-
man Ramon had his right leg broken.
Seaman Runk was hauled from the sea
in a badly bruised condition, The fol-
lowing were cast overheard and lost:
George Bruhn, of Copenhagen; Thomas
Gaul, of Australia; Con Fersburg, of
Sweden: 0. Oleson. of Sweden: G. III.
IIuuNlS, vi OCl OndllCo
of Richmond, Va; Ole Oleson. of Nor
way, and seaman named Winvern.
At p. m. the wind blew 100 miles an
hour. and the furled sails were blown
out of the gaskets, and by 6 :45 p. m. the
miZzen mast had gone: everything on
deck was smashed or carried away
and the ship left in the condition re-
ported above, and at the mercy of the
waves. The ship labored heavily in the
trough of the sea, until the wind
moderated at p. m, when such men as
were uninjured set about putting the
ship in as good condition as possible.
This required three days, and in the
mean time the captain attended to the
wounded men. When the wreck was
cleared away, sails were bent on the re-
naming spars and the vessel was kept
away for Boston, the nearest port. Her
hull is in good condition. notwithstand-
ing the severe straining, and she will
probably be taken to Bath for repairs

THEY WE'RE WARM,
But Did Not Prove Mrs. Langdon
UnchaSte.

MADISON, Sept. 19.-The report that
Bevan, the murderer of Mrs. Langdon,
had letters in his possession proving her
intimacy with him and that he tried to
sell them to her friends caused much
Indignation here. Eugene G. Rowley,
who was married tonight to Mrs. Lang
don's sister, said that during Mrs. Lang
don's engagement to Bevan she wrote
him many letters, such as a gushing
young girl might write in similar cir
cumstances. These letters were writ
ten while she was at school, when she
was estranged from Langdon and be-
come engaged to Bevdn. When the
latter learned of the renewal of her en-
gagement with Langdon, he told her
parents of tile letters and endeavored to
secure money in consideration of their
return. Mr.. Rowley says Bevan offered
to turn them over for $50, but after
talking the matter over with her par
ents, it was agreed that they would not
pay a cent. This decision, he says,
greatly embittered Bevan, who was out
of work and of money. and probably
was one of the causes that added to his
desperation and desire to be reveng ed

Ali passengers from Philadelphia and
intermediate points for destinations
north of Reading were compelled to
leave the trains. A special train was
made up for Philadelphia to take
the place of the Buffalo express,
the leaving time of which is S:35 p. m.
The passenger depot of the Philadel-
phia d Reading was crowded at that
hour and up to IL o'clock tonight with
excited passengers, and anxious relatives
of persons who were known to have
been aboard the ill-fated train. Some
passengers who came from Philadel-
phia intending to go to Pottsville and
points beyond took a special train back
when they found that there would
be no train to go northward tonight.
AT O'Clock this morning the situation
was: Three hundred men are still at
work, but they are making slow progress.
Fifteen bodies had been taken out. None
of the bodies have been taken from the
scene of the disaster. Jack NolI and
William johnson, of Shenandoah, and
John McDonough, badly hurt, and John
Strauss, Schuylkill. were the latest i'll

twenty or more are underneath the
wreck. Whether there is or not is not
known. Who was on the train and
how many we're actually killed will
only be disclosed with the removal of
the engine and cars from the bed of the
river tomorrow. Supt. Cable, of the
Reading road, has given every order
necessary for the comfort of the in

The telephone Office has closed. That
was the only means of getting news all
of the night. The only reporter to get
to the scene was one of the Eagle men,
and he telephoned down nearly all that
was secured by the Reading papers.

SIBLEY. To-, Sept. 19.-The residents
of West Halman township are IN the
throes of big sensation. Early in the
week Frank Ellgen departed very sud-
denly from his home, leaving a wife
and three children in a state of anxiety
as to his welfare. Some investigation
was made by neighbors, which to-day
resulted in the discovery that Miss
Trock, of that neighborhood, was also
missing. the pair having eloped. Their
exact location is not known, but it is
thought they are not far from Luverne,

of his lawful spouse under the promise
that he would reform. Ellgen's credit
