 sist pr. Parlkhurst In Reform.

sist Dr. Parkhurst In Reform.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The woman whom the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Park hurst has been seeking to lead the cam paign of influence has been discovered. She is Mrs. Charles Russell Lowell, the daughter of the venerable Mrs. Shaw, who has given tho cause of woman suf- frage four daughters. Mrs. Lowell is, perhaps, better known as Josephine Shaw Lowell. She lives next door to her mothers house and is woman of social prominence as we'll as woman of intelligence. Social problems have for long time engaged her attention. but her assumption of the leadership of Dr. Parkhurst's idea was considered i'm. possible by those who know her best. Mrs. Lowell comes of family that has long been connected with public affairs. Her sister, Mrs. George William Curtis, is a woman of rare attainments. An. other sister is Mrs. Robert B. Minturn, a leader In the fashionable society of this city.
 Mrs. Lowell said last night: q feel called upon to undertake this work. The outrages of law that have so long been thrust upon the citizens of this city have stirred me deeply and when Dr. Park. hurst, through the press, urged the wo- men to use their influence in organized effort, felt called upon to respond. ] did not come forward when the first in. vitation was offered, because I felt that many other women were more fitted to head crusade, but when saw the apathy, the lack of courage to take up the work, decided to do 50.
 What are my plans2 Briefly, they are to so instruct women that they will see and understand just where the errors in our form of municipal government exist and remedies provided. Women should be as much interested in decent government as men, for they have the same interests to support and the same expressions D boar"

James of Hunter, Jones' zwsrd and

names of Hunter, Jones, zwsrd and Collins.
 In the meantime the title of Lord Berry descended to his grandson, who died only few years ago. He had no children, and in searching for an heir settled upon Mrs. Garrison, the descend ant of his aunt, Lady Mary Berry, and her bus band, James Alison. According to Mrs. Garrison's statements he practi- cally adopted her, willing to her his en- tire fortune, and obtained from the queen or from parliament the right to transmit his title to her. Then he died and Mrs. Garrison came back to Amer ica, met Mir. Wilde and adopted him.
 The estate is said to be worth $S, 000,- GOO, but so far as Mrs. Garrison seems not to have obtained possession of much of it. She declines to make any state ment about the matter further than to say that she received from Lord Berry various heirlooms. In regard to the es- tate local generalists claim that neither Burke's "Peerage and Baronetage," nor his Handed Gentry" makes the slight est mention of any Lord Berry, or of any Berry at all, except an army officer, a commander in the Indian empire, a non-inheritable title. As the first book covers all Great Britain, 1t does not seem possible that any such title can ex- ist, while the absence of the name from the "Landed Gentry shows that the estate, if it exists at all, must be either in Ireland or in Scotland, and not in England. This has not affected Mrs. Garrison and her adopted son very much, however, as the latter has his card engraved "Allan Alison Lord Berry"

Mrs. Garrison Places Wilde the
 Road to Title and Wealth.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The news of tho adoption of A. c. Wilde, 30 years old, by Mrs. H. D. Garrison, and of his con- sequent accession to heirship, title and about $s,o00,O00 has stirred up good deal of interest in unexpected quarters. 4 number of other persons who pretend to be heirs of Lord Berry, from whom the estate was derived, have come to the conclusion that they would like to have part of those millions and are coming down to see about the matter. Some of them have already arrived, but have not been received by open arms by Mrs. Garrison, who disclaims c-ny knowledge of their kinship.
 The stories told by Mrs. Garrison and other claimants are more or less contra dictory, but the genealogical facts of the matter seem to be set up as follows:
 Lady Mary Berry, daughter of the then Lord Berry, married one James Alison, or James Aston and came to Philadelphia before the revolution. They had one daughter, Mary. His wife died and Aston went to India, leaving his daughter in charge of friend. This friend proved false to the trust. embez- zled the money left in his hands and finally wrote the father that his daugh~ ter was dead and told the daughter that her father was dead.
 After time this daughter married Daniel Jones and had 13 children. The eldest was Enoch Jones, who was the grandfather of Mrs. Garrison. Eight of the children have living issues, most of them residing in Macon and Marshall oounties. Illinois. where they bear the

 FAYETTEVILLE, Oct. a.-3Not on your life" said Jailer Clark, when he opened the heavy iron door of cell No in Cum. berland county jail to supply meal to Lewis Crawford, Jim Burns and Elijah Burns, Friday night.
 Lewis Crawford, a veteran convict, who has done time in both the Carolinas, made rush at the jailer, with the in. tention of smothering him with a blanket, which he held in his hands Clark perceived his object, quickly drew his revolver anl fired, mortally wound ing the prisoner in the left side. The shot, however. did not stop Crawford's rush, and he succeeded in covering Clark with the blanket and bore him to the floor, shouting to his companions to come on and help him. He struggled meanwhile with the jailer to get possess sion of the pistol. As his comrades tried to leave the cell to aid him, Mrs. Lizzie Waide, jail matron, who had accompa- nied Clark, quickly closed and locked the door in their faces. In the mean time several other prisoners had rallied to Crawford's assistance, and in the des- perate battle which ensued Jailer Clark's pistol was again discharged, seriously wounding Assistant Jailer Bramble in the foot.
 After the terrible fight Jailer Clark and Assistant Jailer Bramble succeeded in driving the prisoners back to their calls

Pullman Conductor II. A. Graves was
asked to compare the size of the men
with the prisoners, but declined because
he had never seen Il , accused standing

Grange testified the first thing he knew

down or you'll get shot"
The robbers compelled him to go up to
the express car with hem. They had a
bomb in small can and touched it off
with match, and then told witness to
run, which he did. He said both men
were slim built, but one was taller than
the other. He only saw two men. Saw
the wagon and described it. Was such a
wagon as Johnson was said to have been
using the day prior to the robbery.
The case is exciting great interest, as
Johnson is prominent citizen, and has a
large ranch near Tejunga, where helives.
The prosecution is confident of making a
case against them. A bomb similar to
the one found yesterday is said to have
been discovered near Johnson's farm.
The case will consume several days.

AUCKLAND New Zealand), March 3d.
The steamer Alameda, from Samoa,
brings intelligence of serious uprising
there. 1t appears that Henry Ide, the
American Chief Justice under the joint
protectorate exercised over the islands by
the United States. Great Britain and Ger
many, fined and imprisoned the chiefs Of
the rival factions and compelled them to
work on the roads like ordinary convicts.
This angered the natives, who finally
broke out in armed rebellion.
King Malietoa sided with the Chief
Justice and sent troops to put down the
insurrectiOn. Several sharp encounters
followed, IN which thirty were killed and
fifty wounded, the rebels being driven
into the interior. It is claimed Malietoa's
troops INDUCED in all sorts of barbara
ties and atrocities, such as mutilating the
prisoners, beheading the dead and out
raging the women. This so incensed the
natives that general uprising was threat~
ened at the time the Alameda left.
The foreign population is greatly
alarmed and looking anxiously Tor the
appearance of a warship of one of the
nations forming the protectorate.
NO SURPRISE AT WASHINGTON
WAsHIN GToN, March 3O.-The uprising
in Samoa creates no surprise at the State
Department, as it was expected of the
peculiar entanglements growing out of
the obligations assumed by the different
Governments in connection with Samoan
affairs. 1t is expected that the compIica-
tions may cause serious trouble. Senator
Morgan said tonight that he had always
regarded the arrangement as mischiev-
Gus one, and certain to produce jealousy
and contention. He declined to suggest
the proper course for the United States to

The Union Pacific Claims it is Not AL
lowed q Sufficient Portion.
CHICAGO, March 30.-The Western pas
senger lines met this morning to consider
the question of emigrant business, which
the lines claim has been badly demoral-
lied by action of the Union Pacific and
Northwestern. The Atchison was rep
resented. The Union Pacific claimed it
had not been allowed a sufficient portion
OF the emigrant business, and wanted
more than was set aside for it by the New
York Clearing house agreement. The
other lines were not willing to grant this,
however, and meeting of the Advisory
Committee was called for the afternoon
to consider the request OF the Union Pa
citic. 1t reached no definite conclusion,
however, and the meeting adjourned un-
til tomorrow. The Atchison declared
itself discontented with the proportion
allowed it, but declared that the associa-
ton must come to definite understand
ing with the Union Pacific before the
Atchison would consider itself bound by
the agreement. 1t is, however, willing
to observe all conditions provided the
Union Pacific matter is settled.

REHRING SEA QUESTION.
Pleasant Ending of an Unpleasant
Clash of Opinion.

Clash of Opinion
LONDON, March 30.-The Standard this
morning says editorially: 1t is due to
ambassador Bayard that we testify to
the friendly and sympathetic temper in
which he has throughout performed his
share in the Behring Sea negotiations.
Thus pleasant ending viii close an ex-
ceedingly unpleasant clash of opinion be-
tween the two nations. We do not doubt
that, after certain amount of grumbling
and remOnstrance on the part OF the more
unreasonable and grasping Canadian
fishermen, it will be universally recog-
niZed that everything has been saved for
Canada that could reasonably be claimed.
Neither need we harbOr any misgiVingS
as to the manner in which America Will
carry out the award of the tribunal of ar
bitration. The absolutely amlcable and
pacific spirit that has animated the con-
duct of the matter throughout constitutes
an effective guarantee that any future
differences will be settled in the same
rational and friendly manner.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Gresham an
nounced at Cabinet meeting to-day the
practical success of the American conten-
ton in the Behring Sea question, the
British Government having finally given
satisfactory assurances that the decision
Of the Paris tribunal would be legalized
by statutory enactment.
PROTEST FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA.
VICTORIA (B. O., March 30.-This is
the headquarters of the seal poachers, and
they are greatly excited over the news OF
the action of the British Government in
passing bill authorizing the seizure of
British vessels in Behring Sea. The seal
ers are practically unanimous in declar-
ing that the putting in force of the regu-
lations this year would be gross in
Justice, as well as illegal. Some say they
do not know if. under the circumstances,
there would not be redress in the courts
against the British authorities, who are
only acting in the interests of capitalists
and American politicians interested in
the seal islands. 1t appears to be ques-
ton of might, not right. The result will
be the transfer of the ships to some other
flag not affected by arbitration. 1t is un-
derstood that the Provincial Govern
ment, at the instance OF local sealers, has
wired the Dominion authorities to pre-
vent the Behring Sea regulations going
into effect this season,

A CAPSIZED BARK.
Thrilling Escape of the Crew of
British Vessel.


SAN Francisco, March 3O.-The ship
John C. Potter, from Nanaimo. arrived
in port tonight, having on board Cap
tain Dawson and thirteen of the crew of
the British bark Archer, abandoned off
Cape Flattery March 18th.
The men tell story of almost incredi-
BILE hardship and of thrilling escape
from the capsized bark only after great
difficulty and danger The bark left
strait on March 18th very heavy snow
storm was encountered. The storm
kicked up a wild sea. The maintoDsail
was carried away. While the men were
alott an unusually wild squalI struck the
ship. The ballast shifted and the ship
listed. The men managed to reach the
deck lust as the vessel was overwhelmed
by a tremendous sea, turning her clean
over on her broadsides. Andrew Ander-
were carried away and drowned. The
crew managed to cut away the lanyards,
and all the masts went over the sides.
The men succeeded in climbing outside
aud clung to the poop.
Their position was one of great peril,
and to add to their terrors, fire broke out
in the cabin. The ship seemed also to be
sinking, ana IL appodTeu 10 De question
ONLY as to whether the crew would first
be overcome by fire or water. Finally
seaman, Walter Boyden, was lowered
into the cabin, and there he managed 10
put out the fire. An attempt was made
to launch the lifeboat. AS the boat left
the vessel four of the crew sprang into it,
leaving their unfortunate companions
clinging to the side of the wreck. With
much effort life buoy was rugged to the
FL So.
By holding on to the buoy and springing
into the water the men We're, one by one,
hauled aboard the boat. The snowsqualls
were yet violent, and much suffering was
endured. Only two oars were aboard the
boat. Fortunately the ship John c. Pot
ter hove in sight half an hour after the
escape from the vessel, and, responding
to their signals of distress, took the men
aboard, kindly cared for them and
brought them TO this city.
