M1sLA1D a RICH CARGO.
No Trace to be Found of $4,000
Worth Of Crude Petroleum.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The United States authorities are just
now wrestling with the most complicated
problem that has ever been brought to
their attention. A cargo of 100000 gal
Ions of crude petroleum and some valu-
able refining machinery has been lost,
and unless Captain Jose Call of the
Spanish steamship Cadagua, can explain
the mystery his vessel will be sold to
satisfy the claim of the owners of the
lost goods. The steamer is now anchored
in the Delaware river, off League Island,
and yesterday a posse of United States
marshals took possession of her on in
structions from Goodrich, Deadly & Good
rich, attorneys for George H Alden g.
Co., the big New York exporters.
Alden & Co. claim that in August last
they chartered the Cadagua, and loaded
her with the 400, 900 gallons of oil and the
machinery, consigned to their agents at
Valencia, Spain. The steamer sailed on
Aug. II, and in due season arrived at her
destination with the cargo in good con-
ditiOn. Since then all trace of the cargo
has been lost. Capt Call says he de
livered it to a man named Ayora. who
represented himself to be the proper
party, but Alden & Co. know no such man
and their agents at Valencia deny all
knowledge of either him or the cargo.
After the goods had been shipped,
Brown Bros. & Co., bankers for Alden &
Co., drew on Ruffer & Co., bankers al
London, for $4,000, the value of tn
cargo, but the drafts were returned, be
cause there was no acceptance of tn,
cargo by the Spanish consignees, and tn
shippers We're compelled to make good the
amount of the draft, besides paying biz
bill for cablegrams exchanged in an ex-
haustive search for the missing goods.
The charter for the transportation and
delivery of the cargo was made in Paris
by Fourcade Il Gurtuby, agents for and
managing owners of the Cadagua, though
she halls from Bilbao, Spain. They have
been cabled to for information several
times, but have not made any answer
They have also paid no attention to re-
quests for security for the vessel. which
has been fixed at $4,000
AS no one can be found to give security
for the steamers release, she is likely to
lose another charter to load an outward
cargo. She is comparatively new vessel
built expressly for the Spanish petroleum
trade, and is valued at several times The

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER Is. 1893.

A pretty model, which goes somewhat
ahead of even the bOldest of the Oversklrt
styles, is cut princess fashion and open
over a skirt of black velvet. The black
velvet front is run down the middle with
several rows of gold passemehterie, which
then form border at the feet. The polo
naise of soft WOOL giving the general
silk effect, falls TO the feet.
At the neck il is cut away entirely, and
it opens also at the front of the bodice TO
show the blade velvet basque beneath. A
border of deeply pointed embroidery
heads the poonaise that has been cut
down; and its opening in front buttons,
on either side to the black velvet under.
velvet bow is at the bust, and a loose
scarf forms the belt, buckled in, and then
falling in fringed ends at the right side.
The whole presents a quaint and not I'M
attractive effect. Who knows We may
all be figuring in polonaises before long.

NATURES coRKsoREws.
Nebraska Has Some Queer Fossils to
Show the World.
From the San 1 rancisco Call.

Among the arrivals here from Lincoln,
Neb., day or two ago. was Professor I.
H. Marshland Of the Nebraska State
University, who had just completed two
remarkable scientific expeditions inquest
of rare fossils. One was to Pine Ridge,
the famous scene of the recent Sioux In
dian outbreak, where he and others dis
covered myriads of a strangely curious
fossil, called by them devil s corkscrew. }"
The corkscrews are as much as eight feet
long, actual corkscrew in shape, and are
often eight inches through. He esti-
mates that there are 400 square miles of
them, vet strange to say, notwithstand-
ing the vast number of scientific expedi-
tions hitherto, none of them have been
discovered before. The cOrkscrews are
silicate, and they are found in a silicious
sandstone. In many places they stick
through the sand-rOck of the hills. the
stones being worn OF by the elements,
and the sihcate spiral, being harder, has
remained. 1t is no trouble, the professor
says, to strip the sand away from them.
1t is rather soft, and the men can work

New York, Oct. l4,-The 1880 in dress

dent in tresses, the couture a la

smooth combing of the hair over each

FossrL1zEp coRKscREws OF sToNE


Some of the strange silicate spirals are
coiled about a central spiral, like a
grapevine about tree. Then at the bot
tom or root of the spire are curious pro
tuberances each way, and rising toward
the surface of the ground at something
like 81 degrees. They are often quite as
long as the corkscrew spiral.
These corkscrews which stick out
over the pine ridge border on the bad
lands" said Professor Marshland, ARE
most singular things. Nobody knows
what they are or how they were made.
"At first it was thought by some that
the spirals were caused by some sort of
a burrowing, the theory being that some
animal had burrowed rabbit-like, and
that the hole had filed with siliciOus sand
and hardened. But this theory wouldn't
do, because it appeared that whatever the
spirals were they were of marine forma-
ton, and, whether animal or vegetable,
had grown under the sea.
ARE THEY sPoNGEs2
From all we could gather we are in
clined TO believe the COrkscrews are a
curious form of the sponge, yet even that
is by no means certain, If they are
sponges, they would, under the spectrum,
show certain specks, which mark the
sponge, and once Professor Barbour
thought he did see one or two, but he
couldn't be sure of this. Other remark
able things were what we found imbedded
in them and forming part. Once we
found the skeleton of little animal like
rat and at another time we found the
hskeletOn of snake"
The corkscrew region extends from the
Nioorara River to the Pine Ridge and al
most to the Hat Greek basin. The cork
screws are almost as true as if made by a
lathe, and are right-handed and left
handed indiscriminately. The great
transverse pieces called rhizomes, or I'M
dergrOund stems, pro. ect in all directions
out of the banks and bluffs like LOGS.
Some are as large as ordinary barrels,
others. as large as hogsheads. When
half disclosed in the bluns they look like
large sawlogs.
A singular hing was found by the use
of the plumb line. A corscrew over s
feet inches long was tested by the line,
and it was found that from top to bottom
the whirls of the screw va ed but one
eighth of an inch in the case of one coil,
in others still less. Generally speaking,
the corkscrews are of marvellous perfec-
ton, and they are so great as regards size
as to utterly dwarf a man standing beside
them

GEO. SONTAG CONFESSES
He Tells the Story of the
Crimes of the
sONTAG BROTHERS AND EVANS.
The Confession Will be Used Against
Evans at His Coming Trial-Propo-
sition for Sliding Scale of Wages
for Colorado Miners.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 1.-The Euening
Bee last evening published sensa-
tional story of the confessing by
George Sontag, the notorious train
robber. Sontag having expressed his
willingness to tell all he knew, j. B.
Hume, the Wells, Fargo & Co. de-
tective; Colonel j. B. Wright, rail-
road division superintendent, and a
stenographer went to Folsom peni-
tentiary yesterday and the prisoner
told the story of his crimes in the
presence of the gentleman just named
and Captain Aull, warden OF the
prison.
Sontag's narrative is an extensive
one, making between 5000 and 10000
words. He told of all the train rob-
berries in which he and his brother
John and Chris Evans were impli-
Gated, including the Coils robbery,
All the particulars were learned
from Sontag as to how the details
were arranged for the recent bold
break of the prisoners at the Folsom
penitentiary. 1t proved the theory
OF the warden that William Ereder-
icks, the ex-convict now wanted for
the killing of Sheriff Pascoe of Ne
vada county, had placed the arms
and ammunition where they could
easily be found at the proper time.
Sontag was sent to prison for life.
His brother John is dead. The Evans
family had not treated old Mrs.
Sontag in very cordial manner, and
George doubtless thought nothing
was to be gained by silence. But he
is shrewd man, and undoubtedly
demanded that some sort of prom
Use for the hope of evental liberty be
be held out to him. In fact, it is
understood that he received a prom
ise that in return for his aid to the
officers an intercession for commu-
tation of his life sentence would be
made with Governor Markham, but
the men who heard the confession re-
fused to tell the Bee reporter whether
this was SO or not.
Railroad officials declined to give
out the complete details of the con-
fession on the ground that it would
be improper to do SO at the present
time.

SENATOR JONES IN LINE.
He Declares That He Will Affiliate With
the Peoples Party.


the Peoples Party
The Denver News publishes the
following special from Washington:
1t is no longer secret that Senator
John P. Jones of Nevada has deter
mined to abandon the Republican
party and affiliate with the Peoples
party. About month ago, in the
presence of Senator Stewart, in con-
versing with gentleman from one
of the silver states, who told him that
he thought it his duty to abandon his
old party and openly unite with the
Peoples party, Senator Jones said:
"You do right
"Will you also unite with the Peo-
ple's party?'' was asked in reply.
The senator said:
81 will"
The gentleman he was addressing
then asked him.
III have occasion to write upon this
subject, have your authority to
publicly say that you are Populist
and no longer Republican,"
To this, without any hesitation,
Senator Jones replied;
"You may"
The reason for the abandonment OF
the Republican party by Senator
Jones-the greatest authority on BIZ
metallism in the world today-is,
that he finds the party unchangeably
allied with the single gold standard
conspiracy of Wall and Lombard
streets and he is convinced that the
only hope for bimetallism is in the
third party. This party he finds or
ganized in the field and winning VIC
tories, and he believes it to be the
duty OF all true silver men to support
it, both at home and abroad.

Miners Wages in Colorado.

DENVER, Sept. 30.-The silver mine
owners at Aspen have made a pro-
position to the miners looking to the
resumption OF work in all the idle
properties. When silver is less than
so cents an ounce for month the
men will receive from 81 30 to 81 30
a day, according to the class OF work !;
when silver is worth S31a cents, %
cents day will be added. The ac-
ceptance of this proposition will give
work to 700 men. Over 1000returned
to work in the Leadville mines re-
Gently ON the same scale. 1t is not
thought that Aspen miners will agree
to the proposed sliding scale OF wages
and from the present outlook there
will be no work to speak of in this
:. mp until such time as the price Of
siTr er will justify the employment o.
mem at the old wages.
