New YORK, Dec. mo arrests have
yet been made in connection with the
Field failure, and it is not thought there
will be any for the present. Assignee
Gould this afternoon said: There is
really nothing new in the situation. /
am somewhat encouraged to find that
things are actually looking bright in
some respects. The fact that there are
no large creditors appearing with
claims, and that no one in Wall street
has been nipped. leads me TO believe
that the only great sufferers are the
members OF the firm, who have been
vicGimiZed by Mr.. Field. l am partic-
ularly sorry for Mr.. Weichers, whom [
consider as honest a young man as l
ever met. The fact is, he has been
robbed"
"Have you found out how things
stand?" was asked.
NO: | have been to the bottom of the
whole thing, but am still in the dark,
and am unable to account for the disap-
pedrance of the capital. Edward NJ.
Field is the most plausible person L
ever met. He has always told me the
most plausible stories, and, even when
they were absolutely absurd, they were
told in manner that made one believe
the speaker was perfectly honest in his
statements. Only two days before the
assignment was made 1 talked with Mr..
Field, and he ratified off a list of the
assets Of the firm, showing that they
were worth over 100000. He is I'M
doubtedly crazy"
Three Millions Shy.
Assignee Gould today unearthed
50, 225 Of the assets of the firm of Field,
Lindley, Weichers q Co. This makes
the total assets found up to date 81, 525.
The liabilities are estimated at $780,
600. Mr. WeicherS, of the failed firm, is
eral members of his family. He says
he alone put his entire fortune of $780,
600 into the business, while his father
and other relatives put i'll nearly that
much more. 1t is stated that two banks,
at least, will suffer by the failure. The
assignee refuses to disclose their
names. Deputy sheriffs are watch
ing the house of Cyrus w.
Field, expecting that E. NJ. Field, of the
defunct firm. will be summoned to the
bedside of his father. when they will
place him under arrest. Another man,
presumably deputy sheriff, approached
the house about IL O'Clock tonight, held
a few minutes hurried conversation
with the deputy sheriff who was pacing
to and fro before the house, assembled
the StoOp, rang the bell and was adj
mitted. Soon after the rooms on the
various floors were lighted one after the
other and man and woman were seen
to pass from to the other one as if prose-
cutting a search. Not long after the man
left the house and all was again dark
ness within.

4 Money-Hunting Husband Kills
His Wife and Himself
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. IA hor-
rible double tragedy was enacted at
Hotel Warwick either last evening or
early this morning. George E. Barr,
proprietor of the Hotel Warwick, lies
dead on the floor of the sitting room on
the second floor of the hotel, which he
occupied with his wife, and in a chair
close by lies the dead body of his wife.
Both were shot, and the weapon with
which the deed was accomplished lay
on the floor near Mr.. Bars right side.
The suDpOsilion is that Barr shot and
killed his wife and then killed himself.
Both appear to have died instantly.
The scene in the room was terrible
one. Mrs. Barr was sitting, almost re-
Ginning, in large easy chair. She was
fully dressed in a handsome costume.
Her hat was on her head and she wore
her street coat. Her gloves, ligh thy
held between the fingers, were in her
hand. She looked as though she had
just come from an evenings entertain
ment and had dropped into chair be-
fore removing her wraps. The bullet
entered the face near the mouth. Every
thing indicates that Barr shot his wife
as she sat in the chair, and then, realiz-
ing what he had done, took his own life
When they were married the wife had
considerable money, and as he was sup
posed not to be doing very well in the
hotel business and they were reported
to have had frequent rows because she
refused to furnish him money, it is sup

IN JESSE JAMES STYLE.
The Glendale Train Robbers Had
Plans Well Laid.

Plans Well Laid.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. l. "A bold and sue
cessful train robbery took place on the
St. Lonis d San Francisco road, near
Glendale station, about ten miles from
this city, shortly before 10 o'clock last
night. The robbers had their plans we'll
laid, and they escaped with money and
Naluables, estimated at from 5000 to
$4,000, in the custody of the Adams
Express company. The robbers used
dynamite with fearful effect, both on
the car and messenger, j. L. Mulrenin,
who had charge of the car.
Six men participated in the robbery.
Shortly after the train left Glendale two
men quickly made their way over the
tender to the engine cab. As soon as
they secured a good footing, they
opened the heavy duck shield which
does duty as door during the cold
season, and, placing revolvers at the
heads of the engineer and fireman, gave
the order: Hold up your hands,"
When this was done Engineer Wagner
was ordered to stop the train and COM
Piled with alacrity. The engineer and
fireman were then taken to the express
car.
The express messenger, suSpecting
something was wrong, had closed and
bolted the doors of the car and stood
inside ready to defend the property in
trusted TO his care. But the odds were
against him, and the poor fellow now
lies in dangerous condition at North
Springfield.
4 stick of dynamite was placed
against the car and the fuse lighted. In
a quarter of minute flying splinters
indicated that the dynamite had per-
formed its mission. As the door fell
in the robbers entered the car, and, TAX
ing the key from the messenger. soon
had the safe open. Everything in the
safe was taken and also the messengers
gold watch and chain. Estimates as to
the amounts secured vary widely, rang
ing from $4,000 to 1000, but nothing
definite is yet known on this point.
While two robbers were doing the
work at the express car the other ban
dts kept up a constant fusilade. Four
teen shots were fired into the smoking
car. but no one was seriously hurt. The
detectives who went to the scene last
night found the fresh tracks of a horse
and wagon coming towards st. Louis.
The railroad officials believe that one of
the robbers is a railroad man, as he is
said to have instructed the fireman to
not put any more coal in the furnace.
At the Frisco Office it was stated that
the amount stolen was about S75, 600.
The robbers performed their work so
effectually and covered their tracks so
well that there is not the slightest clue
to identify them or their whereabouts.

to bed he told her that he was going to
see Roberts.
Sir Charles Russell-Then do you
make charge against Roberts in
way?
The WitneSs-I can't make a charge.
Still, know my own mind on the sub
jeet.
Sir Charles Russell-Did you intend
to make charge?
The WitneSS-YeS.
Continuing, the countess said that
after the separation she heard things
from members of the family pointing to
improprietieS
Sir>Charles Russell-What matters?
The witness replied that it was much
against her wish to mention them, but
she heard them from the DOwager
Countess Russell, Lady Agatha Russell
and Hon. Rollo Russell.
Recurring to the alleged cruelty OF
her husband the countess said the earl
often showed her away when she tried
to kiss him, and had struck her when
she was trying to make up the quarrels
with him. She said she was certain she
had never boxed his ears.
Court adjourned before the erosS-eX-
animation was finished.
The Brute in the Case.
John Henry Stanley Russell, Earl
Russell and Viscount Amberly, was
born Aug. u, 1865, and is therefore only
about twenty-siX years old. He sue
ceeded TO the earldom on the death of
his grandfather, John, the first Earl
Russell. On Feb. 6. 1880, the earl mar
ried Mabel, daughter of the late Sir
Claude Scott. and very short time
afterward the wife left her husband,
! alleging that he was cruel to her. HIS
actions were such that the countess be-
lieved him to be insane and was in fear
OF her life. 1t is alleged that he COM
PEELED her to submit to indignities Of a
peculiarly horrible nature, and for
which. upon conviction in criminal
court, the minimum punishment is
seven years Imprisonment. Tie
earl claims the trouble is due
to his mother-in-law. The countess
displayed much modesty and was greatly
embarrassed by some of the questions
put to her. In appearance, Earl Russell
is great contrast to bis handsome and
stylish young wife. He is weak-eyed,
y0ungish-lOobing man. He has hair of
red tinge and is what is known in
slang society as ''waShed-out." His APP
pearance is not improved by the Specta-
cleS which he wears. During the re-
cital of the incidents of her married life
by his wife, Earl Russell frequently
buried his face in his hands to hide his
laughter. His actions showed that he
felt no conjunction for his treatment
of his wife; in fact. he seemed to think
that the whole affair was a fine subject
for mirth. Many of the spectators
looked upon him with disgust.
