AFat Roll Of Bills Which Cot HIn In
to Difficulty.

Late last night OH er Frank Merrill heard
the sound Of voices In the yard Of the house
Of Mrs. Small at the corner Of Park and
Congress streets. The officer at once began
an investigation and was rewarded by the
sight or three men who leaped from the
shadow Of the shrubbery and ran for all
they we're worth. One Of them, however,
was promptly overhauled and taken into
custody, the others getting away. The pris-
oner was taken to the station and searched.
On his person was found S3l2 In bills, most
ly tens and twenties, and a pair Of opera
glasses. Suspicion OF course pointed to rob-
berry. The man in custody, who Is a Port
lander, declared that the money was his and
that he and his companions had simply en-
tered the yard to wait there until II was time
for the Pullman to leave for Boston. This
story looked pretty gauzy aud officers were
sent to the vicinity Of the mans house where
1t was suspected store might have been en-
tered. The store, however. was found 10 be-
all right and the story told by the prlsoner
was eorroborated by his brother, who said
that the money belonged 10 its possessor,
having been recently drawn from bank
preparatory to journey. The young man
was still In custody at late hour, but, un-
less something new turns up, will probably
be released,

NEW YORK. August 29-The four masted
schooner Frederick Billings halls from Rock
port, Me-, and is general freight carrier
owned by Carlton. Norwood & Co. She left
Havre for New York, via Liverpool in the
middle of July. Among the men shipped at
Havre were three able seamen whose looks
Capt. Herbert Fl. Williams did not like. They
were James Heath, an Englishman, 26 years
old; Thomas Hayes, an American of the
same age, and Edward Clark, also an Ameri-
can, 26 years old.
On August %, the Frederick Billings had
completed slowing her cago at Liverpool, and
a little putting tug-the William Joliffe-
made fast to her and towed her out to sea.
At dusk. with dangerous banks on each
side of the channel. the suspected sailors or
ganized revolt. Hayes took the initiative.
He was seen by mate Meady and the boat
swain, Emil Muer. to draw long dirk knife,
and leaning over the side of the ship, hack at
the hawsor by which the Joliffe was towing.
In an instant, the two officers had leaped to
his side. They supposed they would have
only one man to overcome, but were surpris-
ed to find that Heath and Clark stood ready
In the shadow of the rigging to defend their
cOmrade.
The mutlneers were Joined by four Nor
wegians. The boatswain was oVerpowered
and about to be flung overheard. Meady
succeeded In saving Muer. Then both men
had to fly aft for their lives. The sailors,
with Hayes in the lead, followed towards the
quarter deck.
Here Captain Williams stood. pistol in
hand. The seven iDsubordinate sailors
sprang towards the steps. Each was armed
with knife. Williams took a step forward,
and pointed the revolver straight at at the
leader of the mutineers. He said:
f" The first man who nuts f0nt unnn this
quarterback will get his brains blown out!'
This settled the trouble for the time being 4,
but it was afterwards necessary to iron the
three leading mutneers. Such is the story
of the ships officers. The men who are in
Ludlow street jail, claim on their side that
they were abused.

AFTER A WEEK OF SUSPENSE.

BLAINE VS.. BLAINE.
Young Mrs. BIaine's Suit for Divorce
Will Be Contested.


SIOUX FALLS. S. D., August %. 1t is now
evident that James G. Blaine, Jr., will fight
the divorce suit to be brought by his wife,
who now lives in this city.
John Garland. judge of the United States
District Court during the territorial regime,
has received instructions from Mr.. Baine's
attorneys in New York to make an appear
ance in the case when it was started, and to
deny the allegation of desertion or adultery
If made. Congressman Struble of Iowa has
been secured to assist Garland.
The grounds on which the contest will be
made are not yet fully determined. but the
papers will be drawn up within few weeks.
The case will come uD before Judge Thomas
in Deadwood in the third week In October.
Judge Palmer. who appears for Mrs.
Blaine, claims to have In his possession am
pie evidence for winning his case.
During the early part of The month sum-
mons was served on James G. Blaine. Jr., at
his fathers home in Bar Harbor, and he Inn
mediately accepted service.
By so doing he placed himself within the
jurisdiction Of the courts of this state, aud
should decree be granted it will be as
sound as If granted by the stat of New York,
although there are some who claim that de-
cree from this state would be null and void
1t Is supposed that the chief point to be
made by Mr., Blaine's attorney will concern
the question Of residence. Mrs. Blaine ar
rived In Sioux Falls in the third week in
April, and took apartments in the Central
House, with the intention of staying there
the ninety days required for her to obtain
citizenship. This seemed all right enough at
first. but after a fortnight the longing for
New York came upon her. and back she
went for visit of several weeks, leaving
James the Third and his maid to represent
her In Sioux Falls. Mrs. Blaine came back
10 ooutn Dakota. but after short stay again
went to New York, this time in response to
an urgent summons. She was taken i'll dur
ing her last visit, and returned here only
after an absence of about month. Alto
gether of the required ninety days she had
lived In Sioux Falls less than thirty.
Judge Aikens remarked to her attorney
that she had really but twenty days to her
credit. and that a legal residence had certain
ly not been made out.
Mrs. Blaine has for several weeks lived in
a cottage under a six-month's lease, and will
try before the trial to perfect her title to citl
Zenship.
1t is more than likely that some counter
charges will be made by Mr.. Blaine, some
of them of the gravest moment.

BOSTON, Mass. August 29-The rapid
transit commission. at its regular meeting
yesterday, held conference with General
Manager Furber of the Boston and Maine
railroad In regard to establishing q union
station In the northern portion of the city.
The point discussed was where to put it
whether in Haymarket square, or below
Causeway street on the bank of the river.
Mr.. Furber presented generous, If some
what daring scheme, to establish a grand
union station in Haymarket SQUARE. He would
not favor building an elevated road over
Causeway and Travers streets, but would
prefer to have the streets elevated above the
tracks.
His plan would embrace the whole terri
tory between Portland and Washington
streets for the station and train yards. doing
away entirely with Friend and Canal streets,
The proposed building would cost $4,000, 900.

DOES BALMACEDA HOLD SANTIAGO ?
State Department Officials Inclined
to Believe That He Does.
The Junta Reported To Be En- Route
for the Capital.
Yankee Tars Landed at Valparaiso
to Protect the Consulate.

WASHINGTON, August 3O.--A despatch
dated at Valparaiso, August 10th. was re-
ceived at the Navy Department today from
Rear Admiral Brown. 1t says: "The insur-
gents have possession Of Valparaiso. which
was.taken yesterday morning after very san
culinary engagement. The government had
the advantage of good position but showed
bad generalship. and the troops were disaf-
fected. The insurgent ships were not pres
ent and the forts were not engaged. The
Lynch. with three second class torpedo
boats, was captured. The foreign admirals
demanded guarantee protecting the lives
and property of foreign subjects. l have
100 men at the consulate and many refugees
on board. The provisional president Is
here"
The above despatch from Admiral Brown
TO the Navy Department was the only In
formation received here today by government
officials of the situation in Chill. Nothing
further has been heard from the consul at
Valparaiso since the telegram announcing
the surrender Of that city TO the Insurgents.
Nor has anything been received from Minis
ter Egan at Santiago. 1t Is believed by the
officials of the State Department, notwith-
standing the dispatches TO the contrary, that
Santiago Is still in the hands Of Balmaceda.
They base this opinion on the fact that the
department. has not been informed by Minis
ter Egan Of its capture. They say he would
certainly have notified the department IL that
city had been surrendered, as there Is no in
reference with the cable line via Buenos
Ayres, SO far as the department knows. The
Chilian minister declined to receive any one
tonight.
EThis despatch was received this afternoon
by Mr.. Montt, congressional envoy:
IQUIQUE, August 30.

Errazuriz says: 1.-The triumph In the pla-
cidia has been complete. The troops of Bal
maceda numbered 1900. Three thousand
are prisoners and all his artillery has been

sistance. Vicuna, God0y Banados, minister
