cier, Cannot Get Bail.
BOSTON, Nov. 5. - Colonel Jonas III.
French, in default of $4,000 bail, has been
committed to Jail. Since his arrest Monday
night he has been in the custody OF the
United States Marshal. From that time
forth he has been making the most strenu-
Gus efforts to obtain bail, but the man who
but short time since was surrounded by
influential financial, political and social
friends found his closest associates far out
of his reach But two men presented them
selves to sign the bond of $4,000 required
to secure his liberty, and neither was near
1y qualified to assume the responsibility.
During the day John Stetson was applied
to by friend Of Mr. French, and he said he
would furnish bail providing SIS, 900 in
good securities were placed in his hands as
an indemnity in case French forfeited his
bonds.
The Five-Cent Savings Bank continues to

around over his shoulder.

We were looking down the barrels.
Now, get off, they ordered. We got
off Then there was an explosion on the
front end4of the express car. Then two
more fellows came up. They all began to
shoot promiscuously and did not seem to
care who they hit. They gave me an ak

told him what they wanted. Sam
was lying over in the corner Of the car

The explosion had blown out his lights.
But he lit lamp and came to the door.
Then they made Sam shell out his keys.
Then they went for everything"
Several of the bullets fired by the robbers
entered the sleepers and day coaches at the
rear of the train, and several passengers
narrowly escaped being hit.

A GENERAL TURNS THIEF.
He Claimed to Be Worlds Fair Envoy
From South America.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-Mrs. Tralticur, wife
of G. HI. Tralticur, who is employed in the
Custom House, died suddenly Thursday,
October 90, at her home. Her husband was
away at the time, and only the servants and
q boarder named Julio Campo, South
American, we're in the house. When Mr.
Tralticur came home he found that his wife's
diamonds, jewelry, some important docu-
ments and 500 in money were missing. He
communicated with the police, and Campo
and friend of his, George Ii. Simpson,
were arrested.
Campo confessed to the thefts, and the
pawn tickets were found on him. He said
that he took the wallet containing the Jew
elry and papers and money from Mrs. Tral-
ticur's bosom after her death. Campo is 30
years old, well educated, and claims to be a
General in the South American army and
Commissioner to the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago from the United States of Colombia.
In his possession was a letter of introduc-
tion from United States army General in
this city, in which he is mentioned as Gen
eral Julio Campo, of Colombia. The letter
stated that he had come here to study the
military institutions of the country and its
army regulations. The prisoners were ar.
raigned in court to-day and remanded.

A DEPORTATION DECISION.
Cinnamon Must Be Taken to the Orient
Direct Instead of to Canada.


DETROIT, Nov. Judge Swan to-day
handed down an opinion on the subject of
the Chinese deportation, which is perhaps
the first complete ruling upon the question
The case was that of 'Chong Sam, -
whose arrest was effected at Port
Huron July 9, for having been unlaw-
fully in the country under the Chinese
expulsion and prohibition act. The China
man was examined by a commissioner, and
he was found in possession of certificate
issued bv the customs officer of Vancouver,
B. c., dated May q, 1891, per-
mitting him to return to Canada
1t was also shown that he had
been arrested before at Detroit and returned
to Canada by order of Commissioner Graves.
Upon the second appearance of the China
man he was ordered sent back to China un-
der a ruling of one of the State Depart
ments, to which was referred the construc-
tion of the law.
A brief resume of the decision is that
s'the order of the Commissioner directing
the deportation of Chong Sam to China is
reversed, and that the United States Mar
shal is instructed to cause him to be re-
moved to China"

PROBABLY A MURDER.
BUT THE CORONER's JURY GAVE A
VERDICT OF ACCIDENT.

A Beautiful Girls Mangled Remains Found
on Railroad Track, but the Circum-
stances Point to Murder-The Testimony
of a Chicago switchman.
CHICAGO, Nov. IA mysterious tragedy
elected provokingly unsatisfactory verdict
from the Coroner's jury to-day. The victim
was well-dressed, but unidentified girl of
Is or 20, who must have been singularly
beautiful in life. Her mangled body was
found in a lonesome roadyard, dismal maze
of tracks and standing freight cars The
woman was murdered and her dead body
thrown on the track in order to make it ap-
pear that she met her death accidentally.
The circumstance that no blood was found
on the rails orson the roadbed ravors the
suggestion of foul play. While the front
of the woman's clothes was spattered with
gore, not drop had flowed on the ground.
Police Captain Ripley said. "To my
mind the most remarkable circumstance of
the case is that no one has come forward to
identify the young woman or report that
such girl is missing
The unfortunate was blonde with per-
feet features and curly hair that fell nearly
to her shoulders. She wore considerable
jewelry and several bangles, which bore
the inscriptions, ''Ehie, "Elly, "Will,"
frankie. Jr.," etc.
AT the inquest switchman gave evidence
confirming the murder theory. He found
the body and he said that when he discov-
cred it the corpse was cold and the blood
cooled as if death had occurred some hours
before.
He passed the place on the track where
the body lay at about II o'clock, and the
corpse was not there then. Between that
hour and o'clock two switch engines ran
over the same track, but no passenger train.
He testified that the shawl upon the body
was untorn, although it covered the right
arm, which was crushed.
Notwithstanding this testimony the jury
rendered verdict of accidental death
caused by being run over by an engine.
The conclusion was based upon the fact that
the heavy underclothing might have ab-
sorbed all the blood; that the body had
undenisbly been horribly mangled by rail-
road wheels and that no knife or bullet
marks could be discovered. 1t is admitted
there is possibility that the supposed
murderer craftily placed the corpse on the
track in a position to ensure the oblitera-
tion of the real death wounds.
The remains were identified tonight as
those of Fannie Cartwright, an actress who
lived with her mother in this city. In
order to reach the latter's house by the
shortest cut. is is thought by the police,
she might have attempted crossing the rail-
road yard and been run down in the dark.
The dead girl bore an excellent reputation.
She was q member of the 'Fast Mail' Com
pany and left them at Memphis three weeks
ago to visit her mother It was her inten-
tion to rejoin the company at New Orleans
tomorrow.

The Swiss Celebration and william Tell

The Swiss Celebration and william Tell.
Switzerland has been lately celebrat-
ing in the canton of Schwytz the sixth
centenary of its independence as ma
ton, and on the 10th of August the city
of Berne celebrated the seven hundredth
anniversary of the foundation of the
town. This is an antiquity which reaches
beyond the legendary epoch, for Berne
was founded in 1871, and the famous
hunter of Uri is said to have fourished
in 1907, and to have been member of
the League of the Three Cantons-Uri,
Schwytz and Unterwalden-which final
ly drove the Austrians from the Alps.
But the Tell legend, like so many of
the old and new historic tales, is now
generally abandoned. 1t was observed
that the old Swiss chroniclers did not
mention the story, and its first full state
ment did not occur until the middle of
the Sixteenth century. This covered it
with a certain suspicion, which has
gradually developed with the demonstra-
ton that the ''Tell tale" is one of the
legends common to the Aryan people,
and is found in its chief elements in the
Persian, lcelandic, Danish and English
poetry, tradition, saga and ballad.
1t is none the less an inspiring and
symbolic tale of heroism, and the same
tendency of history to legend is Curl
ously illustrated in this country by the
story of the mysterious white haired
warrior who suddenly appeared in Had
ley during an Indian attack upon the
village in King Phillips war and led
the villagers to victory. Mr.. George
Sheldon, of Deerfeld, Mass, in a paper
published few years since, traced the
story to a foot note in Hutchinson's his
tory referring to a legend in Governor
Leverett's family, But, examining dates,
he discredits the story Yet the figure
of the regicide cannot be dislodged from
the popular imagination, nor Hadley di-
vested of the charm of the tradition
