BALMACEDA's GOLD.
An American Killed Who Tried
to Steal It.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-By the
last mail from Chilli news was received
of an attempt of John Dow, a Pennsyl-
vanian, and Henry Merriam, all English
adventurer, to seize 100000 in bullion
which was secreted in the suburbs of
Santiago by Balmaceda, preparatory to
shipping it to Europe. The cons pira-
tors were surprised while breaking open
the house in which the treasure was
stored, but both escaped arrest at the
time. Some days after, however, Dow
was shot and killed by officers while
trying to escape from the house of
relative. His body was riddled with
bullets. Dow went to Chilli in 1889,
claiming to be citizen of the United
States and native of Pennsylvania.
He made considerable money ped
ding notions among the natives,
and during his travels met and
married a half-breed Gillian girl and
afterwards took up his residence at
Santiago. He and man named Young
man concocted scheme to swindle an
English syndicate out of $500, 600, Dow
alleging that he had discovered rich
silver mine. The syndicate agreed to
allow Dow 81, 500 for expenses to go out
to his mine, and also to get out the nee
eSSary papers to back the claim. An
agent of the syndicate was detailed to
accompany the American. Dow hired
Youngman and let him into his scheme.
The two sharpers got the syndicate
agent in an out-of-the-way place, and,
at the point of a pistol, forced him to
sign statement to the effect that the
mine was an immensely rich one, and
worth at least 100000 from all appear
ances. The agent was never seen again,
and as consequence the scheme was
blocked. Dow escaped prosecution on
account of having some knowledge of a
scandal connected with one of the mem
berS of the syndicate.

WORTHLESS SCRIP.
1t Was Passed Of in Arkansas
for Good Paper.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 15.-The
preliminary examination of j. L. Bay,
the expert accountant of Ex-State Treas
urer Woodruff, who was arrested about
a month ago Oh warrant sworn out by
State Treasurer Morrow, charging him
with stealing 100000 IN state scrip. was
commenced to-day. Three witnesses
were examined, the most important
being Gov. Garland. State Treasurer
Morrow. The latter testified that the
scrip was worthless, and that Bay took
it from one of the boxes in the treasury
vault, and placed it in another to be
counted as valuable assets with the
view of offsetting to that extent Wood

scrip alleged to have been taken by Bay
was mutilated so as to make it impos-
sible to tell whether it had been ever
issued by treasurer, and afterward
cancelled or not.

Forty CelestiaIs Tied by Their

SucIcS 10 SaQQ1e EOiIlIHtIS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ia Ha-
waian paper says that trouble recently
occurred at Kohala, between some plan
tation natives who had been impressed
as special police, and about hundred
Chinese laborers who had been brought
from China by one Asen. Being dissat-
isfied with their wages, they called on
Asen in body, but he would not see
them. When they were returning home
in squads they were followed by the
native special policemen, who were
armed with bullock whips. Some
of the Cinnamon, becoming alarmed
at the attitude of the ma
tives, picked up stones. The
policemen thereupon attacked the Chi
namen with whips, aid not satisfied
with putting them to flight, broke the
windows and demolished the property
in number of Chinese houses. Then
forty Cinnamon were tied by their
queues to the pommels of saddles and
driven to the leper cells, where they
were imprisoned, their clothing being
appropriated by the mob. The follow
ing day they were released by the court.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-There was a
bloody sequel to-day to the arrest of
Eugene Shire by his paramour Maggie
Dolan, who had him incarcerated for
making a murderous assault upon her
yesterday. Shire spent the night at the
Four Courts and this afternoon secured
bail. No sooner was he at liberty than
he went to II Morgan street, where he
found the woman. Throwing his right
arm around her he pinned her against
the wall and whipping out a big knife,
slashed her throat from ear TO ear. She
fell to the floor with groan. Believ-
ing that he had killed her he cut his
own throat. Neighbors who heard the
noise of the struggle rushed in. gave
the alarm and had the couple removed
to the dispensary. where their wounds
were dressed. The physicians entertain
little hopes of their recovery.
