A RAY OF HOPE.

An Order Reopening Their Cases Gives the
Imprisoned Chicago Anarchists Some
Hope.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. Moses Sol
ONION, the Chicago attorney for Fielder,
Schwab and Neebe, the imprisoned An
archists, yesterday received an order
from the Chief Justice of the Illinois
Supreme Court granting writ of error
from the United States Supreme Court
to the Supreme Court of Illinois for the
purpose of allowing the case to again go
before that court for review.
Attorney Solomon had always con-
tended that the prisoners were deprived
of a constitutional right by not being
permitted to be present when the State
Supreme Court passed sentence upon
them. The United States Supreme
Court, in passing upon the case,
said: 1.-The objection that the defendants
were not actually present in the Supreme
Court of the State at the time sentence
was pronounced can not be made on the
record as it now stands, because on its
face it shows they were present If this
is not in accordance with the fact the
record must be corrected below, not
here. 1t will be time enough to consider
whether the objection presents Fed
made
The State Supreme Court has refused
to allow an amendment of the record;
but not being satisfied, apparently. that
a Federal question is not involved, has
now consented to the Federal Courts
finally determining this matter. 1t has
never been the practice of the Supreme
Court of this State to have prisoners
present when that body passed
upon the Judgment of lower
courts, but if the Federal Court
decides that such right exists it viii
only give the Anarchist prisoners new
trial and possibly freedom. but will VIII
ate the judgment which consigned their
comrades to the gallows and the grave
While good lawyers seem to think this
will not be the outcome of the matter.
Solomon and his clients feel otherwise
The case will come up for hearing at
Washington during the October term OF

Two Boats Upset at New Orleans With Sad
Results.
New ORLEANS. Feb. IO.-Yesterday
afternoon eight boys, all residents of
the upper city, secured two pinnaces and
started out to take a ride on the river.
Their course led them between two
empty coal barges lying at the head OF
Octavia street. There was strong cur
rent running at the time and despite
their efforts the boats were hurled by
the current against the barges
causing both to upset. Seven of
the eight unfortunate youths were
thrown into the river and drowned.
Their names we're: Frank Landry, aged
II; George Sampson, 16; Willie Winters,
16; Martin Perrierc. Is; Louis G.
Fulda. 10; Alvy E. Fulda. IS. and
Eddie Kneept, 13. Wilton Bo-
hey, aged seven, the only occupant of
the boats who escaped, saved himself by
catching on to one of the overturned
boats. None of the bodies have SO far
been recovered.

Reduced Scale.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The Chicago. St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha has given
notice that it will at once put'into effect
a reduced scale of rates from the Mis-
souri, river to St. Paul on business des-
tined to New York, Boston and other
Eastern points. The proportions which
it proposes to adopt range from So cents
a hundred pounds on first class to 90
cents on fifth class. and February Q is
given as the day on which they will be-
come operative. The action is taken to
meet the competition of tho Great
Northern & Sioux City and northern

Omaha to the sea hoard via ST. Paul and

EXPRESS RoeeeRY.

a Pacific Express Clerk ut Dallas, Ten,
Steals Package Containing o35, 900 and
skips.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-Yesterday L. A.
Fuller, superintendent of the Pacific
Express Company, was notified by the
Commercial Bank of this city that .
package containing SS5, 600 in green
backs consigned to that bank by the
City National Bank, of Dallas, Tex, and
for which the Commercial Bank held
the receipt of the Pacific Express Com
pany, was missing.
February the City National Bank of
Dallas RENTED 60 the Commercial
National Bank of St, Louis the sum of
200, of which SIS, 900 was gold in a
bag and SS5, 900 in bills enclosed in q
regular express package. The gold was
duly received two days ago and deliv-
cred to the bank, which reported to SUI
perintendent Fuller that the gold was
only a part of the remittance from the
City National Bank and that the bank
held two receipts-one for SIS, 600 and
one for $685.
On receipt of this information Super
intendent Fuller telegraphed Assistant
Superintendent Aiken at Dallas notify
ing him of the shortage, and asking him
to investigate and forward information
as soon as possible.
Mr.. Aiken's reply that there was no
trace of the missing package there fully
confirmed Superintendent Fuller's fears,
and with it came the additional inform
alton that the money clerk OF the Dallas
Office. a young man named f. A. Wal
ton. had been missing since last Sunday
night
Walton's fight led to the belief at
Dallas that he must be a defaulter, and
an investigation was at once instituted,
but without result, as the cash of the
Dallas Office was found to be intact.
When Assistant Superintendent Aiken
received Superintendent Fullers mes
sage it opened up new avenue for in
vestigation and the cunning scheme of
Walton to secure delay in the discovery
of his shortage was unfolded. He had
made out two receiptS-one for SIS, 600
and one for $50, 600 on one bank. On the
duplicate forwarded to St Louis, how
ever, no mention was made of the $685.
900 and it was not until the Commercial
Bank of this city had notified the Dallas
Bank of the receipt of but S15,0 200 of the
$50, 600 that there was the least suspio-
ion of any thing wrong.
After pursuing this line of inquiry to
the Assistant Superintendent Aiken tel
egraphed as follows to Superintendent
Fuller: walton, our money clerk. has
taken S35, 600. He was with the Amer
lean Express Company at Iowa, Mich,
for five years. He came to US from
Wells, Fargo & Co. His father resides
at ST. Joseph, Mo. Have traced him to
the Indian Territory and have a detect
i've on his trail Agent Garrison leaves
for St Louis tonight"
Walton is about twenty-five years old
and has generally led an exemplary life
heretofore.

Caused BY the Rising Of the Willamette and
Columbia Rivers
PORTLAND, Ore. Feb. This morn
ing the river at this point was at stand
still. At CORVALLIS and Oregon City it
was falling at the rate of an i.ch an
hour.
The water in Portland is the highest
known since 1856, but SO far it has been
confined to a comparatively small dis
trict and has occasioned no serious
damage. The water last night was
twenty-eight inches above high water
mark. and extended four squares back
from the river front to Third street.
The flood has been caused by the SIM
ultaneous rising of the Willamette and
Columbia rivers, which are usually at
the high stage several months apart
The isolation of Portland from the
East for the last three days was not
caused by floods but by landslides along
the Columbia river obstructing the
tracks and destroying poles and wires
on the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company's lines.
