A LEAP IN THE DARK.
Detective Jumps From a Moving
Train After Prisoner.

NEW YORK, October 1S.-DeiectiYe Ser
geant Won Gerichten of Inspector Byrnes'
staff, had thrilling experience Friday night
few miles east of South Norwalk. Conn.
Samuel w. Lewis, prisoner whom the de.
tectiVe was conveying from Hartford to this
city, jumped from the train when it was 60
ing % miles an hour. The detective followed
him and leaped from the platform into dark
ness. Although thrown down by the concus-
sion and considerably bruised, Won Gerich-
ten ran with all speed up the track and found
his prisoner so badly injured that he was
scarcely able to move. On later train he
was brought to Newark.
Prisoner Lewis was at one time broker
OF this city and some time ago he was indict-
ed cd two counts for larceny of $4,000 from
Mrs Alice Bostwtck who resided on 5Sth
street and whom he subsequently married.
The woman doubted the integrity of her hus-
band and her husband acknowledged that he
had squandered nearly all Of her property.
Lewis's cruelty to his wife finally forced her
to leave him. Inspector Byrnes then took
the matter in hand and in the last March
term of court Lewis was indicted by the
grand jury and fled from the city. This
morning he was held for arraignment in

PATTEN, October 1S.-Thursday morning
Bertram l.. Smith was aroused at an early
hour from pleasant dreams of fat fees to find
on the threshold a client who had called
strictly on business. 1t was Holland Giber-
son of Bath. New Brunswick, who has been
on an extended trip through the Province
and Maine In pursuit of his runaway wife
and her paramour. Lendell W. Peters, who
skipped together, taking along a few hundred
dollars of Mr.. Giberson's cash, presumably
to help defray expenses. Mr.. Giberson had
located the parties at or near Sherman and
he wanted Mr.. Smith to prepare the neces-
sary papers for theiIlarrest. Furnished with
these he engaged Deputy Sheriff Burleigh and
resumed the chase. The parties were found
at the house Of Page Peters IN New Siberia.
a corner of Stacyville plantation. Officer
Burleigh went in the front door, sending
Giberson around to the rear of the house,
where he discovered Peters in the undignified
position of attempting to crawl through the
fence, but he surrendered on being advised
to stop by Giberson. In the meantime the
officer had found Mrs. Giberson and the two
were brought to Patten. 1t seems from Mrs.
Giberson's story that she had before leaving
home spent some of the money to which she
had access aud had also lent Peters 500.
Peters had announced his intention of going
to Boston and she concluded to take the most
Of what was left of the savings of her hus-
band and go along too. Peters disclaimed
any knowledge of the theft until after the
runaway 1t seems that in talking over the
situation after starting they concluded it
would not be safe to take train and they
have been wandering from place to place,
not knowing just what to do. The matter,
1t is understood, has been adjusted, after a
long conference. to the satisfaction of the
parties and they have gone their respective
ways in peace and Giberson's chase is ended,
and one more man convinced that marriage
is a failure.

THE MAFIA MADE A MISTAKE.
An Uprising That VIII Sweep Them
Off This Sphere.

New ORLEANS, October 1S.-Joseph Ma
checa and other leading Italians against
whom afidavits were made yesterday were
arrested this morning charged with being
accessories to the murder Of Hennessey. At
a special council meeting at noon, Mayor
Shakespeare in a message denouneing the
murder of Hennessey by Italians through
hired assassins, declared that terrible secret
orders existed in New Orleans. and that the
chief Of police was murdered for doing his
duty in enforcing American laws. The
council was called upon to take the initial
step to drive these people from the United
States. Councillor Manbrittan offered a res
0lution which was adopted, that the mayor
appoint committee of 80 or more, II he
deems proper, to thoroughly investigate
these orders and report. At one o'clock the
mayor received a communication notifying
him he will be the next victim. Shakespeare
says this will not deter him from doing his
duty. He appointed the committee of 80 to
hunt out the vendetta members, to meet In
the council chamber tonight.
Public feeling is strongly aroused against
the Italian colony and the least thing would
precipitate riot A steamship Is now on
her way up the river from Italy with over
800 emigrants on board and determination
Is expressed to prevent their landing. The
police last night searched the residence of
one of the men arrested for the murder OF
Chief Hennessey and found detailed plan

acted counter to the wishes of the Malta.

LONDON, October 1S.-Mr. Balfour. at the
meeting of the Northern Conservative I'm
ion at Newcastle, today, renewed his attack
on Mr.. John Morley. who, he said, had as
sailed him with the charge of absenteeism
from his post, ignoring the fact that while
he (Mr. Morley was chief secretary for Ire
land for six months he was in Ireland pre-
cisely five days. Referring to the TipperaIy
trouble, Mr.. Balfour denied that any princi-
pal of law or common sense had been vio-
lated In the appointment of Mr.. Shannon as
one Of the judges. When the Belfast riots
occurred, the resident magistrates whom Mr..
Morley had appointed were repeatedly called
upon to adjudicate cases with which they
they had previously dealt in their executive
capacity. In regard to the collision between
the police and the mob at Ttpperary. Mr..
Balfour said there was the usual conflicting
evidence. Past experience Justified him In
believing what responsible officers reported.
1t was quite plain, he said, that MIR. Morley
was too much carried away by political pas
sion to be an impartial witness. Mr.. Morley
had misquoted Col. Caddell, and had grossly
missrepresented some Of his arguments.
Comparing the positions of the two men, he
was certain that all Englishmen would feel
that the part acted in the drama by Col. Cad
dell was one that they would rather have
acted than the part played by Mr.. Morley.

OCEAN STEAMER 60 FEET LONG.
Trial Trip OF the Norton Patent Life
Boat Steamer-A Great Success.

WILMINGTON, Del, October 1S.-The Nor
ton steam lifeboat, the ffty-eight foot craft
In which Capt. +. l.. Norton of New York
proposes to cross the Atlantic ocean and
which has for some weeks past been at the
yards of the Pusey & Jones Company, In
this city, receiving a steam engine and
beiler has made trial trip. Capt Norton
was on board, and the trip was in charge of
Naval Engineer John Hogg of Philadelphia
and engineers Of the Pusey & Jones Com
pany.
The trip extended down the Delaware
riuer to Newcastle and up as far as Marcus
Hook. Penn. From Newcastle to Marcus
Hook and back to Chrlstiana Light con-
sumed two hours and forty-fve minutes, an
average of about ten miles per hour. with
tide in favor going up and against coming
down. 1t Is expected, when all things are In
good working order, that the lite vessel
will make twelve miles per hour without
trouble. She Is yawl-rigged, and can make
ten miles per hour under sail. During the
entire trip she kept up remarkably steady
Keel, without an inch OF roll, even when the
swell OF passing steamers was encountered.
A glass OF wine, Capt. Norton claims, would
nave stood upon her taffrail without a drop
FLASHING out. She left no wake, and one
standing on the stern would not have known
that she was propelled by a screw.
After inspection by the government Capt
Norton, says he will start, probably about
November 1st, upon his TRANSATLANTIC
voyage. Ills destination will be Toulon, on
the Mediterranean, where the French
government officials are engaged in making
series OF experimental tests of his life and
torpedo boats. On the way over he will
probably touch at Bermuda, and certainly at
the Azores, for coal. He will be accom-
panied by his wife and niece, and his crew
Will comprise three seamen, a sailing master,
two engineers and a steward. The little
craft will afford ample accommodations for
all, witq two staterooms, five berths in the
cabin. three In the forecastle, and one in the
pilet house. He is of the opinion that the
trip can be made in twenty days, including
stops at Bermudatand the Azores.
Capt. Norton is enthusiastic over his sys-
tenn OF water pressure and compressed bal
last, and Is confident that its application to
sailing yachts and pleasure boats would
etfectually present disasters from capsizing
He is equally confident that the system can
be applied to the construction of ocean
steamships and render them absolutely proof
against sinking or capsizing, Desires making
them much steadier in heavy weather.
