DIR. THOMAS REELECTED
In Spite Of Opposition in the
Presbytery.

ErSSUyG ery.
Special to the Globe.
La CROSSE, Wis, Oct. IA. = The
synod of Wisconsin spent most Of the
forenoon discussing the cate of Rev.
DR.. Thomas. synodical missionary.
There was an organized onslaught from
the presbytery of Chippewa, led by
Rev. Burnley, of Hudson. The case
was discussed in committee some hours
yesterday, and charges of falsehood,
mischief making and incompetency
made, which was substantially repeated
IN open session. DR.. Thomas indict-
ment by the grand jury for sending an
unlawful message on a postal card had
little to do with the case, as the synod
takes no action On it. When the vote
was taken Thomas was reelected 33 to
10. His enemies submit with bad grace.

FIGHTING YELLOW JACK.
Tho Fever in brunswick, Ca, Is Fast Be-
coming Epidemic.

Atlanta, Ca, September ls.--Governor
Northen last night received a telegram
from Brunswick announcing that 10
cases of yellow fever had developed there
since 10 o'clock Saturday night. The
conditions oflBrunswick are sufficiently
grave to authorize the announcement
that an epidemic of fever is impending.
This is unofficial and may be condemned
by numbers Of people, but it is made af
ter interviews with the surgeons and
doctors of that city. Nothing but a
house-to-house canvass by physicians
will reveal the true situation. Surgeons
Magruder and Geddings are on their
way to arrange hospital quarters and to
secure nurses.
Surgeon General Wyman is now com
municating with Miss Clara Barton Of
the Red Cross Society, in reference to
sending nurses They viii be needed.
The government should take charge of
the hospital there. Brunswick has a
fine three-story brick and granite hospit
al, not quite complete, but $4,000 Will
finish it. Brunswick is penniless and
can collect nothing. If the government
viii complete and furnish this at once,
accommodations will be provided for
several hundred patients. With this and
competent nurses the disease can be
handled.

Alleged Highway Robbery-The Celebrated
Case of Constable Gagnon.

Biddeford. Septem Der '1s-Eli St. Harne
and Rushe Bugg, Armenian peddlers,
were arrested tonight, charged with
highway robbery. The complaint was
made by Sabin Coury, another peddler,
who claimed that they waylaid him on
the outskirts of the city and robbed him
of s5.-- They were arraigned tonight md
the hearing continued till Wednesday
One was able to furnish bail. The other
is in Jail.
Another day has been taken-up by the
trial of the Biddeford constable, the
arguments being concluded tonight
Both sides admit that Constable Gagnon
laid his hand on Officer Andrews, who he
had ordered to leave the Opera house.
But there is dispute as to whether or
not violence ensued. The chief question
which the attorneys disagree was whether
or not the policemen were acting in tie
line of their duty when they entered the
hall without paying for admission. No
case exactly similar could be cited. The
case against another constable, in which
the evidence is practically the same, has
been assigned for September 30.a

COMING ALONG ALL RIGHT.
ya1kyrie Expected Today, But the Race
Must Be Postponed.

New York, September 1S.-Captain
Griffiths of the steamer Spain, which ar
rived in quarantine at 4 this afternoon
from London, reports that on Septem-
ber 16. in latitude 4l0, 36'; longitude. 64o,
36', at p. M, about six miles to the
southwark of his vessel: he passed the
yacht Valkyrie, bound west, apparently
all right. The wind at that time was
from the east and fresh. She was max
ing good headway, sailing at the rate of
10 1-2 knots, and was under full sail.
She will probably arrive tomorrow eve
ming early. The Spain was in company
with the yacht for several hours.
"If / had known that the Valkyrie had
not been reported since she left the other
side,n said Captain Griffiths, tonight, l
would certainly have borne down on her
and gone alongside. 1t was Saturday
morning at IL o'clock when we sighted
her. The wind was blowing from the
southsoutheast and she was behaving
beautifully under full sail. We kept in
much the same position all day. 1t was
raining and murky and at six it grew
darker and we lost sight of her. She
make it tomorrow evening""
The Valkyrie's designer, George l.
Watson, arrived on the steamship Furn-
essia yesterday and today said he was
not alarmed at her non-arrival, as she
had taken the southerly course. The
date of the race will have to be post
poned as Mr.. Watson says the Valkrie
cannot be got in racing trim by Septem-
ber 28th.
The Morgan-Iselin syndicate has spent
more than 800, 900 to build and run the

Dunraven 100000 before his boat gets
back to England. The challenging boat
and the four defenders have cost in the
vicinity Of 100000.
Alfred H. Brown, the celebrated naval
architect of London, is at the Fifth Av-
enue hotel and will remain here to wit
ness the international yacht races. He
does not think his country can send a
boat over here which will be able to de-
feat one of our centreboard flyers.

THE eHlNK OF GOLD.
Cochran Listened to 1t So Long He
Couldn't Resist Its Fascination.

Philadelphia, September 1s.-United
States Commissioner Bell today issued a
warrant for the arrest of Henry S.
Cochran, charging him with fraudulent
ly embezzling thirty gold bars commit
ted to his charge from the United States
mint. Cochran was arraigned before
Commissioner Bell this afternoon. He
said he was without counsel. The short
age will amount to about $2S, 200. The
case was continued until noon tomorrow
and Cochran was held in $4,000 bail. In /
default of bail, he was committed in
care of Deputy United States Marshal
Meyers. Chief Drummond is quoted as
saying that he would recommend the
abandonment of the case in the event Of
complete restitution being made.
.'He is an old and feeble man and has
done good service in the mint,'' Chief
Drummond further said, ssand l do not
believe that he is altogether responsible
for his actions. would trust Cochran
with millions of dollars worth of any
thing valuable except gold. 1t would be
safe to give him control of vault filed
with greenbacks, for he would not take
cent of it. He has handled gold all his
life and has developed a passion for it
which is too strong to be described. He
thought the government was rich enough
without few bars more or less and he
helped himself to an extent that would
make his declining years happy ones"
Clerk Cochran after 43 years of ser
vice has confessed to stealing $134, 900 Of
bullion from the mint. When first APP
pointed to be assistant weigher he caught
Chief Weigber Negus stealing gold Dust:
Negus. now dead, was discharged and
Cochran got his place. Since then he
has often claimed that he saved the mint
$3.50, 900, 900.
Cochran had fine house at Darby and
was we'll known member of the Presby-
terian church and also took quite an in
terest in the Salvation Army, speaking
at meetings in Mount Moriah. He was
divorced from his wife and has one
daughter living. Employees at the mint
express great sympathy for Cochran.
With the money gotten from the sale
of the gold Cochran was generous
friend and an opulent spendthrift.

Miss Carrie Boyce. The Biddeford
Times reports that Miss Boyce has been
visiting in that city. Letters, sent her
by the states attorneys summoning her
to appear at the second trial in Massa-'
chusetts did not reach her and the at
torneys became apprehensive. So State
Detective Whitney was sent to Maine to
look for her. In Biddeford, he was told
that she was visiting in Portland. Sunday
morning he hired a horse and drove in,
got the assistance of Officer Pickett,
placed him on guard at the door, and
then entered. Miss Boyce was not there.
Then the detective returned to Bidde-
ford and found her at her relatives
house. She told a straight story, show
ing that her seeming attempts to elude
him were simply accidents. She accom-
panied the detective to Boston.
