A NEWSPAPER SLEUTH.
Minneapolis EmbeZzler Traced to Gaute-
mala by a Reporter.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-By one OF the
cleverest pieces of newspaper work ever
done a member of the Minneapolis Journals
local staff succeeded in locating l.. #. Men
age. the president Of the wrecked Guaranty
Loan Company, and to-day Secretary OF
State Gresham ~telegraphed to Minister
Young, at Guatemala City. to procure the
arrest Of the man, who is wanted in this
city TO answer to indictments charging
embezzlement and larceny. Menage is liv-
ing at the city Of Guatemala under the as
sumed name of C. A. Miller.
tn Guaranty Loan Company went up
May II, and it was not for several weeks
after that date that suspicious were aroused
that all was not right in the management
of the concern. When the discovery was
made here there was a revulSion Of feeling
that demanded the immediate bringing to
justice of the man who, more than any
other, was responsible for the wretched
ondition of affairs which the investigation
of the company'S affairs showed. BY that
time, however, Menage had quietly slipped
away, and no one seemed to know where
he was to be found. The County Commits
Si0nerS OF Hennepin county offered a large
reward for information leading to his ar
rest, but there was no result. The Min
neapolis Journal some weeks ago came
upon what seemed to be a good clew, and
a plan was formulated which was sub
mitted to the county attorney. He approved
K, and a member OF the Journals local
staff was dispatched TO Chicago, where
Menage was last seen, and where his latest
and heaviest deals had been transacted.
Ten days hard work proved the truth of
the Journals theory, and on Nov. s the in
formation regarding the hiding-place of
the missing financier was received in Min
neapoiis. The authorities were at once in
formed and the necessary request for ex-
tradition sent 10 Washington on the 10th.
Secretary Gresham decided to-day to make
a request for the arrest of Menage and
cabled at once.

Annual League Meeting.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-President Frank
d. II. Robinson, of the Cleveland Baseball
Club. was one of the first arrivals of the
magnates who are TO attend the League
meeting tomorrow. He was seen by a re-
porter and denied that the sale OF his club
TO Detroit capitalists had been consum-
mated. He acknowledged that he had been
negotiating with the Detroit people and
there were prospects of the deal going
through. His reasons for desiring 10 sell
was that il was u good business transac-
ton, and ne. being a business man, was
willing 10 dispose of his club If he could
get his price. At the Indianapolis meeting.
when the League bought out the American
Association, each club III the new organiZa-
ton signed an iron-clad agreement to con-
tinue the League of twelve clubs, as now
constituted. for a term of ten years. and il
IS not probable that the League at its meet
ing Will allow President Robinson TO vio-
late his contract by Il sale.

WORSE THAN SUPPOSED.
il Big -Four Wreck Saturday Night
Due to- Careless Dispatching.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 1S.-The partic-
ularS OF the wreck on the Big Four road,
which occurred a few miles west of Lafay-
cite, Saturday, show that it was a very
bad affair. Of the twenty-one cars burned,
there remained absolutely nothing but the
iron and the metal roofs. Fifteen Of the
cars were loaded and the loss will be
heavy. The head-on collision occurred at a
point where there is a dip in the road,
and each engineer was making rapid time in
order TO get up the grade in front of him.
There was a straight track, for a. short
distance and the crews had time to jump,
otherwise the loss of life would have been
five or six. The cars were piled in a pyra-
mid, mounting up almost as high as the
telegraph poles, and, taking fire at once,
furnished an expensive illumination. The
accident occurred on the main line Of the
Lake Erie * Western road, which the Big
Four uses under lease. The trains, how-
ever, are all moved under orders from the
Lake Erie company. and in this case the
dispatcher made the mistake of giving or
Gers TO one crew 10 meet ct Templeton
Junction, and to the other to run to Balls
siding, a distance of several miles west
from TemDleton. The Joss is placed at $685.
600 10 $4,000. Both OF the Big Four en-
gines are pronounced complete wrecks.
There is a rumor current that just before
the collision occurred two or three tranpS
were seen on the train, but they have not
since been heard from, and there is an i'm
preston that they persisted Passenger
trains of the Biz Four were run over the
Chicago q Eastern Illinois, 10 the Wabash
line, and then over the latter TO this city,
causing considerable delay.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

surrounding the dynamite outrage at Oar

not been solved. Darwin. though but a
small village with many of its houses
crumbling into ruins, was once the county

three which supply the town and surround
ing country with general merchandise. A
family living near by discovered flames
issuing from the building, and before they
could give the alarm there came a terrific
explosion which shook all houses in the
town. The rear end of the building rose
up in the air and was scattered in small
pieces over the adjacent territory. The
guilty parties have not been arrrehended,
nor does there seem To be any idea as to
their identity, except in the mind of the
owner of the store, DIR. Edward Pearce,
who says he thinks he can place his hand
on them. and is only waiting for some posi-
tive evidence to move in the matter.
