SAN DIEGO, Sept. 19.-It was devel-
oped today that the visit Of Judge Jose
Monroy and Pedro Martinez Lopez Of
Ensenada, to this city and Tia Juana,
last week, was for the purpose of inves-
tigating the manner in which William
Whitman, fugitive express robber,
was brought across the international
line. Whitman absconded from Spring
field, ILL.,, with $500 belonging to the
American Express company and was
located at Valley OF the Palms, Lower
California, some months ago. According
to letter from him to the sheriff here,
be agreed to surrender himself and the
money he still retained, and go
east to stand trial in case the express
company would agree to deal leniently
with him. Soon after Under Sheriff
Clenshaw went to the Valley of the
Palms and returned with Whitman.
who was taken east. The report then
became current that Whitman had not
surrendered, but had been drugged and
kidnapped. 1t was said that A. M. Pull
man, former partner of Under Sheriff
Crenshaw, and upon whose ranch at the
Valley of the Palms Whitman was
staying. agreed to deliver the man to
the under sheriff; that he was drugged
and shown bogus telegram, purport-
ing to come from the American
Express company, saying that if
Whitman would come to Tia Juana,
sign paper and deliver $4,000 he would
be allowed to 60 free. According to the
story ne agreed, but on the journey he
regained his faculties and refused to
come further, when he was handcuffed
and brought forcibly across the line.
This report is emphatically denied by
Under Sheriff Crenshaw. The Mexican
officials investigated the report at Tia
Juana and issued a subpoena for
Pullman v to appear at Ensenada
ss witness. Pullman vent tdere En-
day and was Immediately arrested and
lodged in Jail, charged with completely
in kidnapping Whitman. 1t is also stated
that warrants are also out for the arrest
of Under Sheriff Crenshaw and Till
Burnes, on the came charge, but there
is no likelihood they win be served.
Pullman is an American citizen and he
has placed his case in the hands of
United States Vice Consul G0dbe of

CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Last night. owing
to heavy worlds fair travel, the south
bound Big Four express left here in two
sections. At Manteno, 90 miles south,
the first section stopped for water just
beyond curve. The second section,
following close behind, crashed into the
standing train at high rate OF speed,
before fsgman could get back far
enough to give warning. Fortunately
the laat car of the first section was
empty. else no one in it would have been
left alive, as it was crushed into kind
ling wood. The next two cars were
sleepers, and the force of the impact
drove them into two day coaches in
front, which, owing'to their lighter con-
struction, were crushed and riven. These
cars were filled. The passengers in the
second section and the citizens Of Man
teno lent all the assistance possible to-
ward rescuing the'wounded and remov-
ing the dead. The worst hurt were
taken to neighboring houses; the 9TH
ers were brought to this city and taken
to st. Luke's hospital.
The corrected list of the dead follows
Miss Minnie Deegan. New Albany, Ind.
J. w. Powell, New Vienna, o.; Christ
Ksmmel. Dayton, o.; !. G.. Sweet, "a
Reed street, Louisville, KY; David
Jackson, Cynthisna, o.; Jacob Shiffler,
Columb bus, o.; Charles Dinkendutcber.
Columbus, o.; an unknown lady, cup
posed 70 have boarded with Mrs. O. Ed
wards, AZ Forty-third street, Chicago.
The injured numbered 20 persons, eev-
eral Of whom are thought to be fatally
hurt.
The testimony given at the coroner's
inquest this a5ternoon showed that
Thomas Ames, caRineer OF the second
section of the W1ehington express, was
exceedingly neQfieent. He says when
he first saw the danger signal, he was
only about Is rods from the train. The,
flag man claims he went back the regu-
lation distance.
Many friends OF those injured and
missing lave been in this city today
and all the dead but one woman arc
identified Most Of those killed or in
jured were returning home from the
fair and the entire party was extremely
happy and neighborly.

BALLOTS AND BULLETS
TO BE USED TO DOWN THE RO-
MAN CATHOLICS.
The American Protective Association
Organized to Eight the Papacy.
Absurd Declarations In the
Ritual of tho Order.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. l9.-The En-
quirer this afternoon published an inter.
view with ISaac 0fuff. Canadian. who
is now head organizer in this city of the
American Protective association, an
order known hitherto only in the west.
CIuff is quoted as saying: what we
are organized to fight is papacy, with
anything from ballots to bullets. Look
at the public schools in Buffalo. Over
so per cent of the teachers are Roman
Catholics. Inside of two years prom
Use you there will not be Catholic
teacher in the schools. We are going to
do the same in Buffalo as we did in
Detroit, Saginaw, Kansas City and
other western towns. Look at the
army of Catholics about Buffalo's
city and county hall. Take my word
for it, we will turn down
every one OF them. Every department
will be Protestantiz5d. Nor will we stop
here. There must be a turnover all
through New York state. Why have
the Catholics gained ascendancy in our
army and navy unless because some day
they hope to use them? / tell you that
if We cannot Protestantize the army and
navy, we have plenty men ready to
bear the musket against the papal foe,
and our members are sworn to be loyal
until DEATH"
The Enquirer says the entire ritual,
which is printed. shows that the oaths
demanded of the candidate at initiation,
swear him to utter secrecy; that he will
never vote or lend support to any Ro-
man Catholic seeking national, muni-
cipal or state office, and the candidate
promises to bear arms, should the occa-
sion arise, against the avowed enemies
Roman Catholics.
The chaplain's charge at the rites OF
initiation recites that Catholics are
forming secret military companies under
the names of Knights of G olumbia, st.
Patrick's cadets, the Hibernians, etc..
and these societies are not only we'll
drilled, but armed.
The warning read by the recording
secretary to the novitiate, recites that
papal edicts have made it no sin for a
Catholic to kill Potestant and that the
Catholic church is inimical to the state
and pro.essedly its superior.

BAD BOOKKEEPING.
The Cause of the Wisconsin Central
Northern Pacific Muddle.

The Cause of the Wisconsin Central
Northern Pacific Muddle.
MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 19.-The question
OF the lease of the Wisconsin Central
road to the Northern Pacific is not like
y to be settled in the very near future,
unless the argumentin progress before
Judges Jenkins and Seaman terminates
abruptly. David s. Wegv, representing
the Chicago and Northern Pacific, be-
gan argument on the intervening petit
tion yesterday afternoon, and is still
arguing. Wegg takes the ground that
the Northern Pacific owns the Chicago
and Northern Pacific, which it is sup
posed to have leased through the Wis
consin Central, and that the obligation
assumed under the contract makes the
lease not an ordinary one, but an obli-
cation which the receivers have not the
power to repudiate.
Wegg charged the Northern Pacific
people with gobbling all OF the Chicago
and Northern Pacific bonds in eight,
amounting to $2,500,000, on the eve of
its discrimination to cancel the lease,
and within two weeks OF the time when
would be due $3.50. 900, payment OF which
the bankrupt Wisconsin Central could
not pay.
The court began to aek questions
about this big steal and Wegg at once
became more moderate. He said he had
not intended to charge anybody with
deliberate wrong. He thought every
body acted in good faith, and it
was all simple mistake in
bookkeeping. Wegg explained that the
members OF the two companies were the
same, most Of the officers the came, and
he himself was the only man who did
not hold two offices. All the differences
were caused by the method of book
keeping. One kind OF entry made the
bonds belong to the Chicago and North
ern Pacific; another tc the Northern
Pacific, while charging expenses one
way made the loss on the Chicago Ter
minal to appear to be 81 100000 year
charging them another way made the
loss only $40. 900 in three years; charg-
ing them still another way made an
actual. profit. He intimated that the
last named was really the proper way.
