NEW YORK, Sept i7.-The AT pas
sengers of the Normannia which it had
been decided should leave Fire island
for Hoboken on the Cepheus were
brought aboard by the tug Ribble. The

Warrant Issued For the Arrest of Labor
Commissioner Peck, of New York-He ID
Accused OF burning Official Papers.
ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 17.-At5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, at the request of
District Attorney Eaton a warrant was
issued for the arrest of Charles Z. Peck,
commissioner of the state bureau OF
labor statistics, and his stenographer,
Elbert Rodgers, by Justice Gutman. 1t
is for misdemeanOr punishable by five
years Imprisonment for destroying
records.
The charge is that statistics received
by Mr.. Peck from manufacturers of the
state upon the effect of the Mckinley
tariff on wages have been removed from
his Office and destroyed.
The proceedings leading up to the is
suance of the warrants were begun
before Judge Gutman behind closed
doors. Those present were Dis
trict Attorney Eaton, Corporation
Counsel Delhanty and ex-senator Nor
ton Chase Among the persons who
were subpeuaed and who gave the tes-
timony on which the warrants were is
sued were William Dennison, janitor of
the private house where Mr.. Peck and
Mr.. Rogers have rooms. Servant Jail,
who has charge of Mr. Peck's rooms,
and Miss Schaefer. clerk in the bureau
of labor statistics.
The facts secured from Mr.. DennisOn,
as learned by Hn Associated press re-
porter, are that two weeks ago an ex-
pressman brought about twenty-five
packages, each about two feet long, to
the house where Mr.. Peck boards and
he, with the man who was with him,
carried them up to the rooms of Mr..
Peek and they We're afterward stored in
the private bath room The packages
remained there till last Sunday
On the afternoon of that day Mr.. Rog-
ers told Janitor DenniSon he wanted 10
have the packages burned in the house
furnace that night. Mr.. Dennison said
that that was his night off, when Mr..
Rogers gave him 80 to do the work. He
consented and shortly after s o'clock
that night Mr.. Denuison carried the
packages down to the cellar from Mr..
BeclI's bath room, and, starting fire
in the furnace, kept feeding it steadily
with the contents of the packages until
twenty minutes past o'clock Monday
morning.
Mr.. Rogers made all the arrange
ments with Dennison. Some OF the
packages were thrown in Il vault, but
most of them were burned. Nearly all
of the paper burned was blue sheets,
which were the same color and size as
those sent out to manufacturers asking
for returns on the effect Of the tariff.
1t is not known just how the burning
of the papers leaked out.
Norton Chase said after the warrants
had been issued that he had proof that,
if not all, part of the tariff circulars re-
ceived by Mr.. Peck for his report had
been burned.
Commissioner Peck said last night
that he had just been served with a no
tice to answer the warrants in police
court. He said: THE securing of the
warrants is the elimination of the fight
by anti-Hill democrats and it is al they
can expect heuceforth from these quar-
terS"

KEoKUK, Ia, Sept. 1G.-Yesterday be-
gan the joint reunion of survivors of the
First Iowa cavalry and Nineteenth
Iowa infantry. 1t will close tonight
with a banquet rendered by the citi-
Zens. On their way to the front in 1861
these regiments rendezvoused at Keo-
kuh and encamped on the present site
of the beautiful Rand park. The chief
feature of last evening was the pre-
sentation of the Graves medal. Sep
tember p, 1864, Lieut.. J. ". Graves,
of company a, Third Missouri cav
airy, with forty confederates, while
escorting under a flag of truce
Capt j. I. Foster and sixteen men of
the First Iowa cavalry, were surround
ed by detachments OF Todd's. Ander-
sons and Quantrelrs guerrillas in
lonely spot about twenty miles from
Lexington, Mo. The guerrillas num-
bered about $50 men, and We're in COM
mand of the notorious and mercilesS
Jesse James and Cole Younger. Having
der the flag Of truce the guerrillas de
manded of Col. Graves that he immedi-
ately surrender to them The federal SOL
diers. This, he felt, would be to hand
them over to be maSsacred, and with an
honor and valor that were chivalric he
defiantly declined to do so. Riding in
front of his men and addressing the
guerrilla leaders, Lieut.. Graves said
that the men they asked to be surren-
dered were in his charge. and that if a
shot was fired or an attempt made TO
injure them he and his men would die
in defense of their trust and the
federal soldiers. This courageous
declaration Guailed the guerrillas,
and they sullenly departed with
out being able TO crafty their
brutal taste for murder and blood
They insisted, however, that the feder-
al soldiers should at once proceed to get
within their own lines. and they fol-
lowed them for some distance. hoping
for a safe opportunity to attack them.
Lieut.. Graves is now editor of the Lead
er at Graham, Tex. The medal is
beautiful creation of gold studded with
diamonds, and is inscribed thus:
With our lives we viii defend our trust.

han, a suspected case to be correct, in
that the death was due to diarrhna and
exhaustion.
