THE MARSHES RUINED.
Losses to Wisconsin Cranberry Grow
ers Have Been Enormous This
Season.
NOT ONLY THE CROP GONE
But the Marshes Themselves Have in
Some Cases Been Ruined---Peat
- Burned Off.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 2S.--A special to
The Evening Wisconsin from Cranberry
Center, Wis, says: The losses Of cram
berry growers in this vicinity from fires
have been enormous. In and about
Mather, where there has been many
acres of bearing marsh, and from whose
railway station thousands of barrels
have been shipped yearly, there is al
most nothing left. The peat has burned
down to the sand in, places to the depth
of two feet. The peat formed great
beds Of hot Goals which were ever
ready to brighten up when famed by
the breeze. Whirlwinds took burning
GOALS into the air and carried them over
the heads Of the fire fighters and depos-
tied them 49,, 80 and 40 rods away.
Many Of these tracts of land will
probably never be used for growing
cranberries again, and as they are al
most worthless for any other purpose,
will for time revert to the county as
useless land.

New YORK, Aug. 29.-Among the
passengers who arrived on the French
line steamer La Normandie was the
Hon. Levi P. Morton, who was seen on
the deck Of the steamer shortly after
she was anchored at quarantine. He
evidently anticipated the reporters
questions, as the following note which
he handed to those who greeted him
will show:
"In reply to your questions I can
only say that although have no desire
to re-enter public life have received so
many letters from personal and political
friends in different parts Of tt e state
urging me to allow the use of my name
as candidate for governor, now that I
am home shall feel it due the m and
the Republican party, which has SO
highly honored me in the past, to give
the question serious consideration.

Sioux City Has Taken Hold of the Matte
of Graduating the Pest.

of Graduating the Pest.
Sioux CITY, Ia, Aug. 28.-The Rus
sian thistle pest has become so serious
that it is destroying the lawns of the
city, taking possession Of every foot Of
vacant ground and spreading from the
city, where it has found a breeding
to the country, and rapidly taking pos
session of the farming lands around It
is only two years since it was first seen
here and there are people who up to a
month ago did not know what was
the name Of the strange weed that had
taken possession of their lawns and
could not be driven out. Several cases
are reported Of people who used it
AS an Ornamental Shrub,
not knowing what it was. About a
month ago an agitation was begun for
its determination. The county author
tiles declared that the city, as breed
ing place for them, was threatening the
destruction of all the farm property in
the vicinity, and at last the city has
taken hold Of the effort to eradicate
them. Three hundred men are at work
now, under direction of the street COM
missioners, and the cost Of removing the
weeds from each piece OF property is
charged up to the owner as tax, under
authority Of the new law.

DOCKING OF MEMBERS.
Uncle Sam Has Saved ss2O,OOO in Salarie

Uncle Sam Has Saved $4,000 in Salaries
of congressman.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-Sergeant-a at
Arms Snow Of the house has had an ex-
ceptionally busy session, as his office
was largely responsible for the quiet Of
the capitol during the Coxey excitement,
and aside from this, there have been
several innovations Of docking the sal
aries of members and making arrests all
of which is under the direction Of the
sergeant-at-arm The new system Of
docking salaries of absent members, has
left an aggregate of several thousand
dollars, perhaps $50, 900 Of the forfeited
pay Of members in the hands Of the
sergeant-at-arms. This goes back to
the treasury, so that the government
gains considerably by the transaction.
It has resulted also in keeping members
in Washington, and there has hardly
been time since the docking begun
that the house was unable to do bust
ness for want Of a quorum. This con-
slant presence Of quorum has done
away with the necessity of arresting
members, which was the most objection
able duty Of the sergeant-at-arms. The
new system Of counting members
..present but not voting in order to
make quorum, has further improved
and made effective the new method Of
doing business. The experiences Of the
sessions have shown that the system
now in force will be permanent at least
as long as the managers Of the house are
in authority.

ENJOYED CRIME.
Strange Discovery Made in the Sensational
Train Robbery 1t. Chicago. 49,.

1tranON Discovery Made In the Sensational
Train Robbery at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 28. The man giving
his name as German, who participated
in the Deerfeld holdup and subsequent
stirring events late Friday night and
Saturday morning, and who was iden-
titled as Billy Williams, well known
character on the Pacific coast, has again
been identified by responsible parties as
II. +. Griswold, well-to-do local in.
spector Of the Manchester Assurance
company. Griswold's father is said to
be a travelling inspector of the Home
Fire Insurance Company of New York
and resides in that city The people
making the Identification are officials Of
the Manchester Assurance company and
they maintain they are not mistaken.
It appears to be " -
A Case of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde.
Griswold had no need to steal or to
shoot his fellow men, but he did it ap-
parently because he loved the mystery
and the excitement of such a life
Crime has apparently become pastime
with him and he is supposed to have
found an apt pupil in Lake, poor, I'M
employed laborer. During the day
time Griswold filled the important DO
sition Of fire risk inspector, which he
used as cloak for his marauding ex-
cursions during the night. About five
years ago Griswold married country
girl and she became Mrs. Gordon, not
Griswold. Since then they have lived
in various parts of Chicago, their last
residence being 10 Curtis street. Sun
day the timid, frightened wife
Called at the Police Station
and gave her name as Gordon, saying
she never knew her husband by any
other name. It is believed that the
police department, with the help of the
railroad companies, are running to
earth in this dual arrest a list Of train
depredators, Of which Griswold is the
center.
The story Of Griswold's life, so far as
known, is unique. Born almost Is
years ago, his father tried to give him a
fair education, but the boys instincts
were wild and lawless. He eventually
disappeared from home, and was next
heard Of i'll the West as {; cowboy and
ranchman. After several years Of adj
venturous life in California, Oregon
and Idaho, he came to Illinois and Sc
cured employment as brakeman at
Rock Island. While there he married,
and the influence of his wife
Caused Him to Lead a Quictcr Life.
His father, noting the improvement in
his behavior, used his influence to Sc
cure the son a position with the local
Office Of the Manchester Assurance COM
pany. Young Griswold grew proficient
in his new position and soon drew a
handsome salary. 1t appears, however,
that the reformation was not complete,
but just when Griswold began his
double career while in the employ of
the Assurance company is not known.
Further disclosures are expected at the
inquest over the remains of Detective
Owens, which has been postponed for a
week to permit the police to make full
investigation of Griswold's and Lakes

Graham passed as his deputy. 1t hap
pens that that state does not require
the inspection of boilers, but these
swindlers have examined about 800
boilers and pocketed socalled fees
amounting to about $4,000 Their
mode of operation was to inspect the
boilers and give engineers licenses to
run threshing engines, charging in
most cases S. each, but where there
was an opportunity they would accept
$40 to SIS as a bride to keep still if the
engine was little risky.

ALLOWED FREE ENTRY
Goods Placed in Bonded Warehouses

So Says Secretary Carlisle in His
Instructions to Collectors Of
Ports. J..

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-Secretary
Carlisle has decided and will instruct
custom collectors that goods placed in
bonded warehouses under the Mckinley
law and made free of duty under the
new tariff act, are entitled to free entry
and need not be exported and reimported
in order to get the benefits of the new act.
This is Of especial interest to the wool
trade, large amount of wool being
stored now in bonded warehouses. In
this as in all other mooted questions,
the secretary will follow the intent of
congress and
Let Aggrieved Parties Appeal
to the courts if they care to contest on
technical grounds. In accordance with
this determination, he undoubtedly will
hold that diamonds are dutiable, not
withstanding the erroneous punctuation
Of the free list. The secretary has sent
the fsolowing telegram to customs of.
fcials at all ports Of the United, States:
"Vessels with cargo not discharged
nor enteaed for consumption may be
made vessel warehouses temporarily for
such goods as shall be entered in bond.

A FRlGHTFUt RIDE,
Many People Injured on a New Jerse,
Electric Railway.

Electric Railway.
ORANGE, N j., Aug. 28.-An acct
dent occurred Oh the electric line of the
suburban traction company near Eagle
Rock, well known pleasure resort, by
which number of persons were in
jured. Eagle Rock is at the top of Or
ange mountain. It is approached by a
road two miles long with continuous
grade. In some parts the grade is al
most 60 feet to the mile About $3.50
p. m. Car No. s, filled to the doors
with men and women, many of the
former hanging to the platforms, was
going down the grade, when the
motorman found that the brake would
not work. The car rapidly gained
momentum and was soon dashing along
at very rapid rate Of speed. The pas
sengers were not long in finding out
that something was wrong, and the
women and children began to scream.
Before anyone had time to jump the
front wheels Of the forward truck
struck bend in the road The car was
going too fast for the wheels to follow
the tracks and it leaped from the rails,
turning completely over. The broken
glass Of the windows and doors caused
many injuries.
