A horse that has become b confirmed

that can be done is to prevent the prac-

1T is GEOGRAPHY.
THE RETURN OF THE NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC
EXPEDITION.
Il Finds That There Are Other Mountain Peaks
Higher than Mt ST. Elias and that the
Geography Of the Country Will
Have to Be Changed.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 19.-The
scientific expedition sent out last spring
under the joint auspices of the National
Geographical Society and the United
States Geological Survey for the pur-
pose of exploring the region about
Mount st. Elias, Alaska, has returned.
Mr.. Russell, who organized the expedi
tion and had charge Of the work, is now
in Washington, and at the request of
the agent of the Associated Press has
| furnished the following picturesque
sketch of the stock of his party. On
his arriving at Sitka, the members OF
expedition were transferred at once TO
the United States steamer Pinta, under
command of Capt. Farenholt, who had
previously received Instructions from
the Secretary of the Navy to take them
to Yakuta Bay, The Pinta reached the
mouth Of the bay on June %. The bay
is broad, deep inlet extending more
than thirty miles inland, and it was the
plan of the expedition TO begin work
near its head on the west shore. The
weather being thick, Captain Faren-
holt did not think it advisable to take
the vessel up the bay and the voyage
had to be made by means of boats and
canoes in driving rain storm. The
actual base of operation was reached
on June %, and the study of the geo.
logy and geography of the region began
at once. From the point of view of the
scientist, if not of 6 the alpanist, our
expedition was success.
The plan proposed before starting
was carried out almost TO the letter, so
far as the study of glaciers, geology and
topography was concerned, but we did
not reach the top of Mount ST. Elias.
The measurements made have deter
mined that all the mountains in this re-
gion are lower than was previously sup
posed, and that st. Elias, instead OF be-
ing the highest point in North
America, is in reality second
rate mountain. Its elevation
instead of being 10, 500 feet as previous
ly considered, is 13,500 Mount Cook
has an elevation OF 2O,2j0, and Vancou-
yer 1900. Many other peaks in the
same region are as elevated as Cook and
Vancouver, but st. Elias is higher than
any Of its neighbors. The results OF
the expedition will be presented to the
National Geography society some time
In November, and as soon after as prac-
tlcable will be published by the society
in the National Geographic Magazine.

THREE HANGINGS
That Are Likely to Take Place in Ohio
This Week.

COLUMBUS, ONO, October l9.-There
is a very stroug probability that there
Will be three hangingS in the Penitenti-
arv annex this week. The Board of
PardonS yesterday refused to recon-
mend the Communication of the sentence
of Henry POpp, the Stark county muir
derer, and unless there be Executive in
reference he will hang between mid
night and sunrise next Wednesday.
Two DAYS following Isaac Smith, the
Pike county murderer, and Stanley C..
Jones, of Lake county, are billed TO dis
appear. and there is little probability OF
the Governor interfering in either case.
Before adjourning to-day the Board
Of Pardons rejected the application for
a pardon of Martin Madden, received on
a life sentence from Hamilton county In
1855, for rape committed on the person
of Louisa Albrecht, Scven-ycar-oid
girl, and recommended the commutation
of sentence to twenty-One years OF John
Dalton, sent from Paulding county in
1874 on life sentence for murder in
the second degree. The cOmmuation
was granted at the request Of the Judge
and Prosecuting Attorney who tried the
case, and on their statement that Dal-
toms crime was nothing more than man
slaughter, the extreme penalty for
which at that time was ten years.
His attorney failed to move for new
trial and Judge Latta says there was
nothing TO do but to give him life SEN
tencc. Dalton was sailor from Prince
Edward Island, and had been in Pauld-
ing county only thirty days when the
crime was committed, and does not
know person in Ohio outside of the
Penitentiary walls. He will be released
November -, if the Governor approves
the recommendation OF the Board.

,,e u,as sellipra New Wheat.

GALLIPoLIs. o., October ia rath-
er fine-looking, well-dresScd man, rep
resenting himself by the name of Mil
Ter. from Lancaster, this State, has
been visiting prominent farmers, among
them VIM. Lindsey and c. ID. Bailey.
His pretense was that he was a
large breeder and raiser of fine horses
near Lancaster, and wished to purchase
a carload of draft horses. He was
shown about their farms and talking
..horse" to a great extent. He casually
introduced the subject ef having new
wheat also to sell, known as the
orange variety, with forked head,
abundant in bearing and OF line
quality. OF course, these progressive
farmers wanted some of this new
and excellent variety of wheat of which
he had limited supply at $3.50 a BUSH
ell with charges for sacks and shipping
and which they would just pay for on
the spot. Mr.. Miller then gave them a
cordial invitation to come up to Lam
caster. attend the races by natural gas
lirht and look over his farm. Lindsey
accepted of Miller's hospitality and re-
turned to-day without having been able
to find his farm or stud in that vicinity.

by burning. In this way great numbers
of criminals were afterward run down
and brought to justice. The society
then gave up the mark, and the
police officer one year was found dead
stabbed to the heart. La Malta is a
modern organization based on medieval
sentiment. 1t is related to the Comorra,
of Naples. 1t is confined not to Italians,
but to Sicilians, the baser kind OF
Greeks, who bring their national Gus
toms, their secret societies and tradi-
tions of murder with them. III Siciian
believes that he can provide for the pro-
lection Of his person and property with
ont having recourse to law that person
is Matiosa. He may be a bully, a
black-mailer, a murderer, but in what
ever he does the public opinion Of Sicily
supports him still. The code of ethics
which maintain him him is called
''omerta" or manliness.
Not long ago wealthy proprietor was
driving to his home in the neighborhood
of Palermo. Six bullets whiZzed by him.
None of them hit him. No complaint
was made to the police. Yet within n
months everybody who had taken part
in the attempted assassination was him
self assassinated. A Malta had at
tackled Mafosa. He was more pow
erful than his aSsailants. Sicilians JUS
tify these crimes. Everybody knows
the authors, yet nobody interferes.
Said guide of recent traveller in Sic
lily: "Yonder home belongs to a most
respectable mana highly respectable
man, sir. The other day he killed his
cook. One of the most respectable men
these parts sir"
Murder is the cornerstone. of the So
cial fabric of Sicily. A Sicilian wishes
to sell farm. A Copo Malta wiSeS to
buy it. Nobody dares bid against him.
If anybody is so fOOlhardy he would be
shot next day from behind wall or the
corner of house.
If Copo Malta runs for the Mayor
atty of village nobody runs against
him. He invariably has unanimous
election. His hands may be red with
dozen murders, and his pockets filled
with black-mail. Not servant can be
discharged without reference to the un-
seen Malta. The Mafosi rule their dis
trict as deSpotS. If they have rivalries
the knife decides it. The Camorrsta of
Naples liue in Italy, and thieves, just
as the MaiiOri of Sicily.

SHOT IN HIS CAB.
Engineer Roberts Struck by Load oi
Shot While His Train is Moving.

CINCINNATI, October 19.-Engineer
John Roberts, of Biz Four freight train
No. ~, was shot in his cab yesterday
afternoon as the train was passing
Lawrenceburg Junction, otherwise
known US Hardinstown, about twenty
miles southwest of this city.
The act was either one of malicious
or wanton mischief, or deliberate at
tempt at murder.
No clew has been discovered to the
perpetrator. Engineer Roberts injuries,
while slight, show that his escape from
death was Il narrow one.
The train passed the Junction at a
good rate OF speed at about 1870 p. IN.
Beside Engineer Roberts, the persons
in the cab were George Heron, the
fireman. who lives in the Twenty
ward, this city;J j. Sullivan, the conduc-
tor, and John 0'Day, brakeman. A
loud report startled the occupants OF
the cab Just as the train was passing
the little foot-bridge at the Junction.
"Stop her, Jack" said the fireman,
Heron, TO the engineer. THAT was a
torpedo"
mo, it wasn't" said Roberts. "It
was gun, and I'm shot"
Heron took his place at the lever,
and the other occupants OF the cab
quickly helped Roberts to remove the
clothing about the upper part of his
body. Four shot wounds were revealed
two in the muscles of the left arm
and two in the shoulder. The blood
was flowing freely from them, and Rob
ertS was to terrified that he tainted and
nearly fell from the cab. He was re-
vived and made as comfortable as pos
siblc until the train reached Riverside
Station, from whence he was removed
to the City Hospital by Patrol 0.
An examination of the cab of the en-
CINE showed how narrow an escape
Roberts had. The four shot which
struck him were the scattering pellets
of a heavy charge. The great part OF
charge lodged in the cab. 1t was heavy
shot, and had evidently been fired
from a very short distance, as it came
with sufficient force to imbed itself
deeply in the hard wood of the cab.
When Roberts had been received in the
Hospital Dr. Thornbury made an exam
ination of his injuries, and was about tc
probe for the pellets of shot when tel
ephone message was received from DIR.
MuScroft, the Big Four physician, ask.
ing that Roberts be removed tC
the Good Samaritan Hospital. DR.
MuScrofts request was complied with
and when Roberts reached that institu-
tion (where the Big Four sends all it;
injured men) the shot were extracted
He is seriously. but not dangerously
hurt. Roberts is 80 years of age, and
lives at No. III Harrison street, Indian

The quarrel was on the verge of a

On hearing this Applegate, it is said,
