GAVE HIM THE SLIP.
EmbcZ.lcr Hyer and His Bride Provo to
Much for tho Detective.

| NtuCn lOr tAc DCtGctiYc.
JERSEY CRY, N. j., Jan. 3l.-A dis
patch was received here to-day from
Detective William Dalton announcing
that tho embczzlcr Hyer had escaped
from the sleeping car at Pittsburgh,
Pa, at 3 o'clock this morning. Hyer
was being returned from San Francisco
| upon 4 rcluisition after protracted
legal fight, and should have arrived
here tonight. William 1Iyer was en-
ployed MS collector by William Harney,
a wealthy Jersey City real estate. agent,
and fedwith about ST, o0O.eST4yT,-st. -,srrr, ;,,
Ono day last October it became
known that Hyor had boen clandcstino-
tly married to Manic Marsh, d daughter
OF ex-Aldcrman Harvey Marsh. The
couple went off on their bridal trip and
Harney soon learned that the Journey
was being taken at his expense The
couple were finally located at San Fran
cisco, where Hyer was arrested. Eyer
and his energetic young wife made a
fight. Harncy's missing money was,
OF course, used to pay far the expense.
Detective Dalton, who was sent To
bring the fugitive back to this city, was
much chagrlned as he met the le?nl
obstacles thrown in his path bv the
| prisoners lawyers, and newspaper dis
patches stated that the detective took
to drink and had to be confined in IN
inebriate asylum to save him from the
delirium tremens. At length his path
was cleared and on Saturday, week
ago, the officer started For Jersey City
with his man. Mrs. Hycr is said to
have been on tho train, and probably
aided her husband to escape.
Detective Dalton reached Jersey CITY
tonight His story is as follows:
"Hyer and his wife gave mo no trouble.
They seemed confident Of fighting tho
case successfully in the courts here and
there is not one man in hundred that
would not trust him.
"Thc Flyers retired to their berth
about 10 o'cloc; last night. They oc-
cupicd No. 8, and l occupied No. 4,
directly opposite. / had Hyro's cloth

o'clock and went to tho toilet room.
Tho train was then at about ALI
ancc, Ohio. When l Wont to my
berth spoke to Hycr and be answered
me. I then turned in. About4 o'clock
saw Flyers clothes were gone and
know what happened. I did not speak
to Mrs. Hyer until we reached Pitts
burgh when1 asked wherc her husband
was. She said: Saint he with you,"
and pretended to be surprised. Hycr
must thavcgot out of the car window rs
saw where his feet had scratched the
paint. sent q message to the CHIEF oi
police at Pittsburgh by uniformed OIL
Ger at tho depot and also notified dctec-
tives along the line OF Hycr's escape
and offered reward for his recapture." !"

and Observation-Disclosures Expected.
: HELENA, Jan. 3l.-For some time a
gang OF desperadoes have been doing a
lively business in horse stealing in that
part OF Montana lying south OF the Ycl-
lowstonc and in Frement county, Wy
oming. Well known stock growers Of
Yellowstone county have lost about 400
horses. Other stock growers have con-
tributed several hundred more, and it
is believed that tho gang OF outlaws
have now about GOO head in their pos
session.
The situation became SO serious that
band Of thirty resoluto ci tizens recent
ly organized and sot out TO attempt the
recovery OF the stock and to thin out
the thieves. III an encounter d few
days ago four OF the thieves wero killed.
The gang OF dcsporadoes, however, num-
Der about fifty, and tho citizens require
reinforcements before attempting to
complete the work they have begun.
An effort is now being made to raise
fund OF $50, 600 to carry out the cam
paign. 1t is believed that the horse
thieves have agents in several Montana
towns and at points on tho Union Pa-
cifc. Occasionally afow stock cars are
ordered and loaded with horses, which
arc accompanied by one or more mem-
bers OF tho gang. A lot OF stolen horses
were recently identified in Chicago by
the brand OF the owner. -,
A few years ago North Wyoming was
tho scene OF similar operations by n
gang commanded by Leon jackson. 1t
was finally discovered that the stolen
horses were driven to Jaclson's Hole, 4
beautiful valley, walled in by noun
tains, on the Upper Snake river, Just
south OF the National Park. There
Leon Jackson and his associates made
their headquarters and there Jackson
and several OF his mon were captured.
1t is believed there will soon be blood
shed and 4 great deal OF it. About four
years ago the cattle growers OF Montana
suffered severe losses from dcspcradocs.
The growers organized, and in one
season hanged moro than twenty
rustlcrs. Since then there has been no
cattle stealing OF any consequence in

New YoEK, Jan. 3l.-An autopsy has
been held upon the body OF Gen. Hen
ry A. Barnum, who died last Friday. It
was conducted by DR.. George T. shrady
and DR.. B. G. Carleton. The object OF
the autopsy was to find out the track OF
the bullet that passed clear through
tho generals body during the fight Mt
Malvern Hill and had inflicted a wound
that remained open for thirty years, ro-
quiring dressing every day, and also to
discover why in all these years the
wound had not healed up.
1t was found that tho call, which had
inflicted an injury classcd in medical
books rs ono OF the most extraordinary
wounds on record, had crashed through
the upper rim Of the pelvis, breaking
tho ilium, barely skirtinG tho vital
parts and literally letting clear daylight
through the body. Scraps OF dead bone,
it, was found, had prevented the wound
from healing, though ii the general was
willing twas DIR. sayre's intention to
have operated again on the wound, and
by scraping the dead bone away would
have attempted an absolute cure. 1t is
understood that tho portions immedi-
atcly involved in the wound arc to be
prepared and sen: on to tho army med

Cured yesterday on tho Central railway
connecting this city with tho interior OF
tho country. This road belongs to tho
government and is the most important
railroad in Brazil, having cost about
$60,OOo000, Tho rio.ing commenced on
tho 2Sth, originating in tho arrest Of
three brakemcn by tho police at
Blachucto, n suburban station OF tho
railway. In tho fight which then on.
sued three policemen wore wounded.
This preliminary conflict caused much
irritation both among tho police and
tho railway employees. n
Yesterday at 10 n. m. twonty police
mon at the city station OF tho railway
were attacked bya body OF mon armed
with bottles, stones and revolvers and
were driven from the station 10 tho
street. A police forco sont against the
rioters was received with q yollcy of
stones and pistol shots. The police ro-
turned the fire, and for some time there
was a lively fusiladc. The fight inter-
rupted transit on tho road, tho en-
ployes abandoning tho trains. Four
policemen and thrcc other persons are
known to have been wounded in this
fight. During tho remainder OF the
day there was some despltory fighting
and at s p. m. u large body OF railway
employees took possession Of tho sta

cd and fighting was renewed, lasting
this time an hour and half, when the
police succeeded in dislodging tho riot
ers. It's not known how many per-
sons were killed and wounded in this
fight. sllsJ
To-day there has been no lighting. A
thousand policemen arc guarding the
railway station which is much damaged.
Trains arc not running to-day. Some

deavoring to organize workingman's

OF tho Grow of tho Webster Wl,icl, was
Driven to Sea py tho Recent Gale.
VINEYARD HAVEN, MASS, Jan. ST.
Capt. George Clark and nine men from
the missing tug Edwin II. Webster Of
New York, for whose safety so much
anxiety had been felt, arrived in this
harbor Friday night last. They are
still quartered on board the three
masted schooner Everett, Capt. Bowen,
of Philadelphia. The Everett was
bound for Boston from Philadelphia
with 4 cargo OF coal, and rescued the
ten mon when nearly every hope OF bo-
ing saved had been given up. A yio-
lent northerly gale has been blowing
since she anchored here, making it too
rough for the rescued to make alandinc,
and it was not until to-day the schoon-
or could be boarded and full particulars
OF tho rescue ascertancd. Captain
Clark, of the ill-iatcd steam tug, told Il
story OF awful suffering.
After detailing how the two scows
were forced out to ocean by the high
wind and heavy sea, he said:
They could be seen by tho Webster
all day Tuesday drifting to the north
east, but tho next morning. nothing
could be seen Of them. The Webster
continued dragging into rougher water,
and was 4 complete mass Of ice. She
labored so heavily that she sprung n
bad leak, and by constant pun ping and
all hands bailing with buckets wo
could just keep her free OF water. Tho

washed into her bilges and under her
pumps, choking them up badly. The
men were obliged to stand in the ice
cold water working for their lives en-
deavoring to keep the pumps clear and
in working order. In this manner
they were all moro or less frozen. At
midnight on Wednesday the supply OF
coal became exhausted, and ali availa-
bic woodwork, such as berths, flooring,
joiner work. etc., was burned, furnish
ing fuel to work the pumps.
About o'clock, while in this precar-
ious condition. the wood still heavy, the
fuel exhausted, the water up to the
CRATE bars in the fire room, tho crew all
nearly exhausted from exposure, ex-
ccssive labor and hunger, having scarce
ly eaten anything for forty hours, a

straight for the Webster. The welcome
vessel, which proved to be the schooner
Everett, was signallcd by our lights and
she immediately bore down and low
cred her stern boat, which was manned
by her first officer, W. NJ. Leeds, and
three men. These men, by skillful
management, rescued the ten men from
the sinking steamer ono by one, thus
consuming about an hours time. When
the last man was secured, the guards OF
the tug were level withfthe water and
she could not have stad afoat much
longer.
When landed aboard tho schooner it
was ascertaincd that all OF the rescued
men had their hands and feet more or
less frozen. The captain OF the Web
