a Large Audience Listen to 1T
Last Evening.
Last evening every available seat in the
auditorium and the galleries in the Re-
formed chapel was taken by some one
eager to hear the concert as given by the
celebrated DeMoss family, and not one of
that large crowd went away disappointed.
Well do the members of the DeMoss
family deserve the name Of lyric bards and
musical prod ges. They are all of that.
Their Instrumentation is very fine their
every touch bringing sweet music from
some Of the many instruments they handle.
Playing on two or more instruments at one
time seems as easy to them as playing on
one does to the average performer. 1t was
rich treat for everybody there, and the

Chief Of Police Amour in a Race
Against Williamsport Police
for a Horse Thief-"Dr."
Darwin the Man Sought.

Chief of Police Amour left town this
morning for Middleburg with the hope of
getting there and securing horse thief
ahead Of the Williamsport authorities.
The man sought for is a daring desperate
for whom Amour has been in search several
weeks.
The readers of the HERALD will remcm-
Der that few weeks ago j. O. Bower, Of
Duboistown, Lycoming county, claimed,
as stolen property, horse that has been
purchased by William Taggart, of VIM.
Penn. Taggart purchased the horse from
a man who represented himself as DR.. II.
s. Darwin, of Baltimore, Md, who was
accompanied at the time by II man named
Weller, cattle dealer of Middleburg.
After the horse was taken from him Tag.
gArt had a warrant issued for the arrest of
both Darwin and Weller.
About two weeks ago Chief Amour ar
rested Weller at Middleburg and 81 600
bail was furnished before Justice of the
Peace at that place for an appearance at
the trial in Pottsville. No clue to DIR"
Darwin could be secured, but yesterday
afternoon Chief Amour received the fol-
lowing teegraphic dispatch from Middle
burg: Darwin in Jail here badly
wounded. Brought three horses again"
Amour was congratulating himself upon
the termination of Darwin's career and the
prospects of having him under lock and
key in the Pottsville Jail, when he re-
ceived, last night, the following postal
card, signed by cyan Russel, Chief of
Police of Williamsport:
THREE HORSES STOLEN.
Stolen from barn of G.. W. Youngman,
Williamsport, Pa, on the night of Sep
tember 26. Also light platform spring
wagon, one set Of single harness.
Chief Amour became nervous and after
putting on his thinking cap and concluded
that his man was in danger of falling into
the hands of the Williamsport authorities,
as the latter offered reward, so he left
town on an early train this morning with
the hope of getting to Middleburg and
claiming the prisoner before Chief Rus
sells men.

MINsEAPoLIs. Mimi, Aug. LIT is
stated by those on the inside that the
Western association will not live apother
week. As an eight-club organization it Is
already dead. The meeting called for to,
day was not held. because President Speas
of the Kansas City club and President
Krauthoff OF the association did not ar
rive in time. so a postponement was
taken till today at 10 o'clock.
The representatives OF Duluth, Sioux
City. Minneapolis and Denver are al
ready here. and talk freely about the sit
uation, which looks gloomy enough. The
Omaha club Is owned by the association,
but it has lost so steadily that it is get
ting no support at home. Lincoln is up
to its ears in debt and Denver is little bet
ter off. A good deal of talk has been
heard of the shakiness of Duluth. but
Manager Watkins says he received a dis
patch this morning hat the necessary
capital had been raised and his club was
in a condition to go on. Manager Rowe
of Lincoln has not arrived. 1t Is not
known what he proposes to do.
In the discussion by the managers this
afternoon two or three were inclined to
think that a six-club league could go
through the season, but there was a very
decided undercurrent In favor of disbsnd-
ing the teams at once, allowing each city
to retain its franchise with a view to re.
organization next year.

SAN Francisco, Aug. lg.-The
steamer George Elder arrived today from
Peru. Capt. Lewis states that there is a
great demand for wheat and farm pro-
duce. American flour was selling at
SIS per sack, and potatoes brought high
figures. The captain brings a number of
different reports about the progress Of
the Chilian troubles. One of the stories
is to the effect that BalmaceIa's forces
attacked a body of insurgents in Bale
mar, July 10. routing them, with a loss of
100 killed and wounded. The war has
cut off Southern Chilian supplies entirely
from Peru, and the arrival Of an Ameri-
can steamship with wheat was hailed
with manifestations OF delight. 1t is
stated that the Peruvian army is being
equipped in spite of the stipulations
signed at the close of the wal with Chill.

SPARKS FROM THE WIRES.

John Zwald, who surrendered himself
at Sacramento. Gala, four months ago
stating that he had murdered two wives
in Nebraska, has been released by the
authorities. The Eastern officials have
taken no action in the matter.
1t is stated that gold and silver have
been found in paying quantities in the
Kiowa and Commanche country of Indian
territory. Some prospectors asked per-
tiate with the Indians for the privilege of
working mines. Permission was refused.
The Lake Erie Il Western strike con-
tinues. The men say they will never give
in. Attempts were made to hold an ac-
commodation train at Lima, o.. yester-
day, but it was finally allowed to proceed.
Passenger traffic continues, but not a
freight car has been moved for three days.
The indications point to a bitter struggle.

Californian to the headship of the bureau
Of horticulture of the worlds fair. The

of Importance in this state that we are
entitled to have one of our own citizens

ELMIRA, N. Y, Aug. ia fearful
accident occurred at a railroad crossing In
this city on the evening OF Monday, July
81, whereby the Rev. Wellington White,
a missionary to China, his daughter Lii
Ian, her friend Hattie Hastings, with a
nurse girl, Susie Mccarthy, were instantly
killed. Mrs. White and her daughters,
Mary and Mable, were terribly, perhaps
fatally. injured. Jas. Nolan, the engineer
on an Erie way freight. and his fireman,
Thos. Mccarthy. relate a thrilling exper-
fence at this fatal crossing on a dark night
last week.
Il was pulling a freight from Hornells-
VILE" says Mr.. Nolan, and we were
running thirtv-five miles an hour when
we reached the dreaded spot. The night
was cloudy, but occasionally the moons
rays broke through the clouds and lighted
the track ahead of us. Mccarthy
was busy firing the engine, and
as l peered ahead into the
darkness / could see that the track was
clear. Suddenly | observed a buggy driv-
ing up the street directly toward the tragic
spot. Thinking to attract the attention
| of the occupants | rave several short
sharp blasts of the whistle, but still the
carriage came on. By this time We had
almost reached the crossing. and, thor
oughly frightened. | whlstled down
brakes, but il was too late and although
the engine was reversed the impetus OF
the heavy tram forced 1t forward and
struck the carriage square in the middle.
Strangely enough, there were no sounds
of a crash. although several forms could
be seen flying through the dir. ] looked
from my cab window. | plainly saw the
body of a little girl hurled beneath the
driving wheels of my engine which passed
over it, severing the head from the trunk,
a stream of blood dyeing the rails aud
road bed"
The engineers exclamation anc his
danger whistle attracted the attention Of
Mccarthy. who. plancing from the oppo.
site side of the cab, plainly saw the form
of a man thrown some distance up the
track. The trainmen, hearing the signal,
set the brakes and the engineer and FIRE
man hurried to the spot, expecting to
witness a terrible sight, but nothing could
be seen. All was calm and peaceful. not
a sign OF anything unusual or a trace Of
the carriage or its occupants. The head
brakeman coming forward to ascertain the
cause Of delay, found both engineer and
fireman staring at each other with
blanched faces. The men climbed back
into the engine cab and the train
proceeded on its way. The engineer and
fireman are firmly convinced that the
crossing ia haunted.

BRADFORD, Pa, Aug. l9.-Anson l..
Pratt, e fireman on the Campbell lumber
road, was killed today and John Calvin,
an engineer, and an unknown young man
fatally injured. Pratt and Calvin. in
making up a train, left one car at the top
of a steep grade, placing a block of wood
under a wheel to hold it. while they
pulled another car from a siding. Two
young men coming along knocked the
block from beneath the wheel and the car
started down the grade. One of the
Young men was on the car which he had
helped start, but becoming frightened at
the speed it gained he jumped and was
fatally injured. The car smashed into an
engine and wrecked it, the car also being
DESTROYED.

this county, is now lying in Jail charged
with shooting his daughter, aged IA
years. Yesterday morning while the
family were at the breakfast table 4 dis

while she was attempting to make her
escape from his presence.
Physicians are unable to extract the
ball and say the girl cannot recover and
will die tonight. The community in

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. I9.-Adit. Gen.
Mabry of Texas, was decidedly shocked
today by receiving a letter from an editor
in one of the border counties stating that
a Mexican governor had offered a reward
for his head. The writer, Catrine Garzia,
is the son of one of the wealthiest Span
ish families in Nueces county, and is the
editor of a paper at Alice. Tex. The
paper is printed in Spanish, and the par
ticular issue in question contains a two
column article denOuncing one Reyes, who
is governor of one of the Mexican border
states. This article contained a number
of personalities regarding Governor
Reyes, who became MORALLY enraged at
the editor and issued a proclamation off,
ering a reward of $1,000 for the capture
OF Mr.. Garzia or his head. His capture
was not so easy as was thought, and
proceedings were then brought against
him in Texas. Warrants we're issued fol
