TOURISTS ROBBED.
Systematic W ork of a Gang of Thieves
in Europe.

in Europe.
The rumored robbery Of Cornelius Wander
bilt and Dr. Seward Webb has stirred up the
entire French police and detective forces.
The robbery occurred between Paris and
Calais, and. Yasisted of rifling the luggage
that contaiaed articles of great value. The
police refused to say that the victim was Mr..
Vanderbilt, replying simply that it was a
prominent American. The general belief is,
however, that Mr. Vanderbilt is the sufferer.
Railroad detectives on the continental lines
admit that many American travellers COM
plain of being subjected to this sort of rob-
berry on both cars and boats. Sergt. Mid
dleton, chief detective South Eastern Rail
way, Charing G. oss, said: ''rhere is, no
doubt, strict truth in the charges that many
thefts occur in travellers luggage. 1t is the
work of two gangs Of thieves, each gang
having four men, one working in England,
the other in France.
zone gets the passengers lists from the va
rious steamers, talks with the servants of rich
travellers, learning from them, as nearly as
possible, the contents of the different pieces
Of luggage. This information is then tele-
graphed to the other gang in France, and
they are expected to finish up the work.
'When either the English or French
police get on the track Of these rascals they
simply change sides, each crossing to the
other side of the channel. and thus it be.
comes very difficult to catch them. Ameri.
cans are ALWAYS their choice prey. 1t is
foolish to carry jewelry or other small
valuabes in travelling bag, for these sneak
thieves have sharp knives with which they
slit the leather so adrotly that one hardly
knows when it is done"
Railroad Detective Wakefield assured the
reporter that women were the most difficult
thieves to deal with, and at the same time
the most dangerous. They act as decoys
| find out where valuab!es are hidden, inform
the gang, and the robbery is done. Il have
known many Americans who have suffered
| from this, even after being especially
warned" Mr. Wakefield added

SEVEN MEN DROWNED.
A Yacht Over. urned and the Survivor
Senseless When Help Arrived.

Eight young men started on Sunday, in
the dusk of early morning, for days pleas
uring in Boston harbor. Their hearts were
light and their voices merry. Danger and
death seemed long way off. Yet before the
first rays Of the Sabbath sun fairly illumi-
mated the waters over which they sailed,
their little craft was overset and
seven of them had persisted.
The sole survivor Of the party, Walter
Quinlan, aged 20, told the following story
We put off at about O'Clock in the keel

Neither Billy Rice, the minstrel, nor h.
wife, Ella Blanche. cen get divorce IN New

pending since 1888. In private life the part

complaint declares that his wife
was unfaithiul, and had writ
ten confession. Mrs. Pearl fatty de-
MED that she was guilty, and made
counter charges of infidelity. alleging that
through fear and want she was compelle to
sign paper. which she afterward learned
was confession. A referee was appointed
to pass upon the case and in his report he
recommended a dismissal of Rice's com.
plant, finding that husband and wife were
equally guilty. Then the plaintiffs counsel
moved to reopen the case for the purpose OF
introducing further evidence. but Judge In.

Dressed Beef Can't be Knocked OUT

Dressed beef can't be knocked out" said
Mr.. p. ID. Armour the other day at Chicago.
He had just finished reading dispatch from
Pittsburg that the National Butchers Asso-
citation had a movement in progress TO unite
the various butchers organizations and the
agricultural interests. including the Farm
ers' Alliance, against the dressed beefindus-
try.
There's no great force in it," Mr.. Ar.
mour continued. Dressed beef is a stern
reality. 1t has come to stay. Ii can't be
knocked out, because it is cheaper and better
than other beef, and people Know it. 1t is
gaining ground in public favor every day.
don't see how the antagonism OF the Far
mers Alliance could hurt the business. be-
cause we get few or no cattle from that sec
ton Of the country where the Alliance
thrives. 1t costs too much to raise beef in
those sections. In brief. think there Is no
foundation for the report"

WARRANTS FOR THE HATFIELDS.
Beginning of Legal Crus ide Against
Some of the Kentucky Outlaws.

J. w. Napier of Pike county, KY. known
along the Big Sandy as Kentucky Bill, has
created big sensation in Logan county.
among the Hatfelds, by going before Justice
Atkins at Brownstown and swearing out
warrants for Anse, Cap, JOnse and Elliott
Hatfield, Thomas Mitchell, Frank Ellis and
Clayton Bishop, charging them with having
murdered Dave StratIon at Brownstone on
the night of May II last.
Stratton, who is one of the Mccoy leaders,
came over from Pike county, KY, and was
on his way TO Charleston, W. Va. He
stopped over night At Brownstown, and the
next morning his dead body was found
lying beside the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
track, about mile from the town. 1t is
known that Bishop was in Brownstown
that night. but as far as is now known none
of the others Of the accused were in the
vicinity.
1t seems the object in swearing out the
warrant is to secure State aid in the arrest
of the Hattie Dis, after which it would be
easy to turn them over to the Kentucky au.
thor,ties, who would be only too glad TO get
their clutches on them. Stratton was under
indictment in Laean County for felony at
tie time of his death.

the Indians with wbiskey have also been ar
rested, and are now under guard with the
Indians. There is great Indignation In the
Green River county over the practice Of fur.

will give anything they have for drink Of
whiskey, and the men who are doing thi.
business often realize from $40 to SIS pei

One of California. Big Trees.

Preparations are being made at San Fran.
cisco to take out a section of the big redwood
for the purpose of exhibition at the Worlds
Fair in 1892. This will be the largest Sec
ton of any big tree ever taken from Cali
fornia.
The tree measures 80 feet in circumference
and 80 feet in diameter. The section to be
taken will he 8 feet in height and 60 feet in
circumference. This big tree will be taken
from the mammoth forest in Tulare county,
fifty miles east of Tulare City, at an altitude
of 6,325 feet above the sea.
The work of telling the tree has already
begun. IL will take 10 men at least two
months to complete all the work to be done.
Three fiat ears will be necessary for the
transportation, as the total weight will be
not less than 5000 pounds.
Several suggestions have been made to the
Board OF Trade for setting up the entire tree
at the fair, but no plan to that end has yet
been matured.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Lightning Strikes Powder House
Near Mansfield, Ohio.


During a thunder storm lightning struck
powder house one mile east of Mansfield, o.,
which contain, over 5000 pounds of pow
der. A terrific explosion followed. Not a
vcstige of the little building was left, and
swath of destruction was cut In every direc-
ton. Just across the road was the dwelling
Of Henry Roosl, in which at the time were
his wife and three children. The house was
shivered to atoms. One of the children, Is
months old, was crushed and hurled 30 feet
away, lifeless. Another, four years old was
80 badly injured that she will die, and the
mother is suffering from injuries that will
likely prove fatal. Another Lew and as yet
unoccuped dwelling adjacent to the Roost
house was also wholly destroyed, being
evelled to the foundation.
The force of the explosion was 50 terrific
that the bricks of the powder house were
hurled full quarter of mile, the debris
sweeping over the fields and through the
adjacent woods, leaving path like that of
shell-swept battlefield. All the windows OF
houses within radius OF half mile were
shattered, and plate glass window in the
post office about mile and a half away was
broken. The debris of the demolished
houses was scattered through the adjacent
woods for hundred wards in all directions
