The leader of a band of train robbers

by Chief Detective w. G.. Baldwin, of
the Norfolk Il Western Railroad com
pany, and lodged in the county Jail.
The man under arrest is named John
Mehan, thirty-four years old, and was
for a time yardmaster of the railroad
division at ROanOake, Va. For some
time mysterious rObberieS of valuable
goods from freight cars took place,
but, as the seals on the cars were
not broken, it was almost impossible
to find out where the rObberes took
place. Detective Baldwin set TO work,
and after few weeks located the gang
of which Mehan was leader. AS he pos
Sessed sealing irons, it was a simple
matter to rob the cars and reseal them.
All of the fellows were arrested and

succeeded in Turing the train roDber

train near Hayfeld. Mont. The fellow
made fight for liberty, but the hawk

the irons on his wrists. The long chase
extended over 5000 miles, but the officer
is jubilant at the result. He will leave

Items Of Railroad News
and Gossip.

CHICAGO, May 9.-Some of the West
ern roads that are not in sympathy
with the Chicago & Alton IN its fight
with the Eastern lines are very indig-
nant at the attitude taken by that com
pany on the question of excursion rates
to points in the territory of the Central
Traffic and Trunk Line associa-
tions. Their wrath is augmented
by the claim made by the Alton
obcials that their competitors are
responsible for the failure of the
Western Passenger Association to
agree upon special rates to the Grand
Army encampment at Detroit. The
passenger agent of Western road said
to-day: 1--WE are all willing and anX-
ious to sell through tickets at one fare
for the round trip for the OCCASION The
association has been unable to so legis-
late on account of the negative vote of
the Alton. That road refuses to make
through rate to Detroit for the
GrandArmy encampment, and for the
national educational convention, and
declines to make any through arrange
ment that will allow the Michigan Cen
tral or the Lake Shore, the Big Four
and other American lines to participate
in the business. 1t has expressed will
ingness to sell at the One-fare rate to
the Eastern gateWays of the association,
knowing that no such proposition
could be entertained by any
line having legitimate reg
ular business to protect. 1t
requires no technical knowledge of rail
road affairs to be able to see that the
sale OF tickets only to Chicago, st. Louis
and other Eastern gateWayS of the West
ern Passenger association would result
in running the entire west-bound bust
ness for the season. On the Alton rests
the responsibility of the failure Of the
association to agree upon reduced
rates for the Grand Army encamp-
ment and the educational convention
Every possible compromise was offered,
but to no effect. The matter of rates
for summer tourists has been treated
the same way. 1t is on record that at
the meeting of May 9. every line pres
ent, except the Alton. voted for reduc-
ton establishing such rates on a salts
factory basis. 1he failure to have it car
rled involved loss of thousands of dol
lars to the railroad companies, the hotel
proprietors and others interested.
and serious loss and Inconvenience to
the travelling public" A large number
of Western railroad officials, however,
concede to the Alton the right to defend
itself against the attack Of the Eastern
roads and maintain the rates.
Accused of Rate Cutting The Rock
Island road has filed with Chairman
Finely of the Western Passenger asso-
citation charge against the Atchison,
Topeka u Santa Fe, accusing the latter
road of cutting the passenger rate from
Chicago to Denver. 1t is claimed that
tickets are furnished scalpers over the
AtchisOn road at S20.5O, whereas the
regular rate is S3O.65, and that these
tlnketS were obtained by the brokers at
the city Office Of the AtchiSOn.

BosToN, Mass, May 9.-The Globe
will say tomorrow: By order of the
Colorado authorities, DR.. T. Thatcher
Graves is tacitly under arrest for the
murder of Josephine A. Barnaby.
Through adroit detective work the
necessary evidence to insure all indict-
ment has been secured, and DR.. Graves
is now bound West, not for the purpose
of giving testimony before the grand
jury. but to be within the Jurisdiction
of Colorado. where he will be formally
indicted on Tuesday next. If the evil
dence obtained, and now in the hands
OF States Attorney Stevens, of Denver,
is to be believed, DR.. Graves has con-
fessed sending the mysterious bottle to
Denver. He has confessed writing the
inscription upon it. He asserts that the
bottle contained pure whisky when it
was mailed in Boston, and that any
poison therein contained must have
been added after the package
left his possession. This state
ment was made to representatives of
the Barnaby family in Providence. The
additional evidence tending to show DR..
Graves completely is of great amount.
and it can be stated that any attempt on
his part to avoid entrance to Colorado
will result in formal arrest by Detect
tive HanScOm wherever the remOn-
STRANGE may be made. This arrest will
be made, if necessary, upon order of the

ASHLAND, Wis, Nav 9.-Itis now be-
lieved that the worst of the forest fires
is over, the weather having turned
colder with promise of rain. The
flames have been beaten back from ali
the villages in this section, and nc
further damage is now anticipated un-
less hot weather shall return without a
rainfall. Reports of damage have been
exaggerated by sensational correspond
ents. There has been no loss of life.
DETROIT. Mich, May 9.-Reports
fires are burning all over the copper
country. AT the OsceOla stamp mill sew
eral cords OF wood and the railroad
treStle were burned, at Chassell several
farm houses ana barns went up in
smoke and bridge was consumed. The
Sturgeon river, Thomas Nester's estate
and Diamond Match company lose
heavily. Lake Superior from Marquette
to Keweenaw Point is fairly black with
smoke and all the fog whis-
ties are kept blowing constantly.
The loss will be very heavy.
At Tawas on the east shore for two
days past the air has been thick with
smoke from the immense forest fires
the town, and which are said to extend
clear to the county line. The village of
Taft i'll Reno towship is said to be sur
rounded by fire, but no word can be OBJ
taiued from here. IShpeming is sur
rounded by fire, but there is no danger
to the town. There is mile after
mile of fire along the roadbed of
the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road south of Ishpeming and nearly
to Escanaba. Telegraph poles and
railroad ties are being destroyed and
communication is likely to be cut off at
any time. Nothing but drenching
rain of two days duration can prevent
tremendous damage. Reports from all
Shore & Atlantic railroad show great
fires and large property damage. One
of the railroad bridges burned and traffic
will be suspended until it can be re-
paired. The fires are being driven
directly towards OScOda by half a
gale from the west. Much un-
easiness is felt, and unless the wind
changes no one can tell what the
result will be as the twin cities of
OscOda and Au Sable are directly in the
path of the wind, which sweeps over
the tremendous fires and blows its hot.

Farmers Discouraged Over the
Crop Outlook.

Farmers Discouraged Over the
Crop Outlook.
Special TO the Clone.
LITCHFIELD, Minn., May 9.-The past
few days complaints from farmers are
loud and numerous concerning crop
prospects, the extremely drying winds
and frost of the past week or ten days
having nipped many fields of wheat and
oats close to the kernel, leaving a large
percentage of the wheat and oat fields
as bare and black as the land appeared
before seeding. The ground is as dry
as ashes, and unless rain comes very
soon the prospects for the coming crop
will be poor, indeed. At present writ
ing most farmers claim the prospect
now is not even as good as last year at
the same time. The worst feature seems
to be that where the grain was put in
with a seeder and thiuly covered it
sprouted with the moisture then in the
ground and has since dried up and died
out for want of sufficient moisture.
Wheat put in with pressed drills and
the very earliest seeded with seeder
seems in fairly good condition, yet; but
the balance is most unpromising unless
relief in the shape Of good rains come
very soon.

POISONED WHISKY
Offered in Seeming Friendship
With Deadly Intent.

HARRoDsBURG, KY, May 9.-At
Cardwell, Washington county, Thurs
day. Jefferson Holiday Sr. was invited
by James Matherly to take a drink of
whisky out of bottle. The old man
took large draught, but remarked that
it tasted very bitter. and also expressed
his surprise that Matherly did not also
drink. At this Matherly, while Ostensi-
bly, raising the bottle to his lips, let it
fall, spilling the contents on the ground.
After partaking of the whisky Holiday
was almost instantly taken with eXcru-
ciating pains, and in an hour died in
great agony. Mr.. Holiday is the
father of jeff and jim Holiday,
who overlook Cal Vest while returning
from his place February, and shot him
to death, in the presence of his bride,
for which they are now in Jail. 1t is
the opinion of many that Matherly was
employed by some of the Vest family to
do the deed, because of the killing of
Cal Vest, as he was seen talking to one
of the Vest boys just before inviting
the old man to drink. The families
have been at outs for ten years, and
this is the fifth death III consequence.
Indignation was so great that Matherly
disappeared before he could be arrested.
