He Is Accused of Two Crimes by &
Quaker City Jeweler.

Philadelphia, Feb. 3.-Poiceman JO-
the third district station house, will
appear before Il magistrate to answer
the charge of larceny by bailee and
obtaining jewelry under false pre-
lenses.
The warrant on which Dillon was
arrested was sworn out by Samuel
Swartz, a jeweler, of All South street.
In his affidavit Swartz claims that
Dillon bought a gold watch from him
about a year ago and never paid for it,
always taking refuge in the dignity
Of his position for pursuing such u
curse.
Swartz also claims that the police
man actually took a very valuable
watch from his pocket, which he failed
to replace or even give a satisfactory
account of its whereabouts. On Janu-
airy ; SWartZ presented to Director of
Public Safety Better personally q
sworn statement of facts, similar to
those on which the warrant was swOrn
out, and the case Of Dillon was con
sequently given due consideration be
fore the police board of inquiry.
Yesterday that body decided that Dill,
lon would hereafter be attached to
the fourth district police station,
cause" was the reason given for his
transfer. Dillon. who is a graduate
of the house of correction, has n very
bad reputation among his fellow-police-

he was wanted in Cape May county,
N. T., for larceny. Dillon, who always
boasts of his powerful political pull,
managed to evade d pilgrimage to Jer
sey and nothing has been heard of the
affair since.

HART MUST HANG
SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL AT
ROCKFORD ENDED.
Says He Probably Killed His Two
Sisters but Remembers Nothing
About 1t.

Rockford, H., Feb. J.-The jury in
the case OF young Hart, on trial for the
murder of his two sisters, this morning
brought in a verdict Of guilty of murder
i'll the first degree, fixing the penalty
at death. The jury was out only an
hour.
During the reading Of the verdict,
Hart twitched at his moustache and
nervously changed the position OF MS
legs, but his face showed little if any
expression.
AS soon as the condemned man
reached the jail he dropped on a cot,
lighted Il cigar and proceeded to read
Il paper. When interviewed, he said:
L probably killed my sisters, but l
remember nothing about it. [ don't
think I cot Il square deal. | had not
given the probable result much
thought. If they want to put me out
of the way they can do SO. [ do
blame my family, though, for not tax
ing care of me last summer when they
knew my mental condition.
The verdict meets with public APP
prevail. 1t is probable that a motion
for Il new trial will not be granted and
n death sentence will be executed the
latter part of March or April.

ANNIE WILL.
No Provision Made in 1t For Her
Family's Care.

New York, Feb. 5.-Great surprise
Iy that tie family of the late Annie
PiXley should have been left entirely
unprovided for by the popular actress,
who, it will be remembered, dice in
London a few months ago. The family
has kept very quiet about it, but it Is
understood that the matter is being
carefully looked into and that the
| whole affair will be investigated in the
courts. Robert Fulford, Miss PiXley'S
| husband, has never returned from Lon
don and no attempt has been made by
him to discuss his wife's affairs. Miss
PiXley, it is claimed, died worth $780,
600. She had a $4,000 interest ia the
Park theatre, Philadelphia, real es-
tate in Texas and in other sections
of the country. The property, it APP
| pears, was All in Mr.. Fulford's name,
for the actress was a very bad woman
OF business and had no ideas upon the
management of her affairs.
There is a gentleman now in this
city who is willing to swear that Miss
Pixley, a few months before her death,
| told him that she intended to provide
for her family. This family consists
of her mother, two sisters, Alice and
Lucy, and two brothers. Gus and
: Starr. Miss PiXley vas a warm-heart-
ed, affectionate and most lOvable wo-
man, and members Of her family can
not believe that she forgot them. The
! report is that she left no will at all.
No document has been spoken of.
In fact nothing has been spoken Of by
Mr.. Fulford, who kept a close watch
upon her possessions. They say he was
seriously annoyed at the losses she sus-
tanned the last two season of her ca
reer.
The World says: The mother and
sisters of the late Annie P1Xley, the
actress, who died in London Nov. 8
J last, will take immediate steps to bring
out the full facts and circumstances
connected with her death. Mrs. Pix
ley said today: 81 have hitherto said
nothing in regard to my daughters
death. [ told my children to keep
silent too. We hoped that Mr.. Fulford,
my daughters husband, would inform
us Of the truth regarding her death. 1
have given him every opportunity to
do so, and now I am going t try and
find out myself. On Nov. 9 I got a
cablegram from him saying: Annie

Rio Janeiro, Feb. "a fresh sensa
ton was created yesterday by the sum.
Llary seizure of a British tug by order
Of President PeiXoto. The English
friends Of de Mello and D'Gama, it ha.
been asserted. have not only given am.
munition to the inSurgent sailors, bu
have attempted to supply them with
dynamite.
The boat captured by PeiXoto's men
is the tug Cardiff, the property Of an
English coal company. Shortly after
she left the wharf she was Overhaulel
by one of PeiXoto's boats, and Bra
lillian officials went aboard despite the
vigorous protests of the captain.
The Cardiff was taking dynamite to
the insurgent ship Trajano. The Bra
lillian officials compelled the captain to
return to the wharf where the dyna-
mite was taken ashore and put in
possession Of the government.
The matter vas reported by the cap
tain TO the British officials, but moth
ing SO far has been done except cab
ling the captains statement and Peix-

The English residents here are dis
posed to condemn Peixoto and have
grown indignant over what they term
the i'll treatment CT the Cardiff's cap
tain; but in all other quarters Peixoto
is considered justified in doing as he
did.

trality between the beligerents re

cannot imagine how she will explain
so violent Il breach Of faith with PeiX-

News has been received here of a
battle at Curitiba. The insurgents
finally drove the enemy from the field.
1t is said hat 200 government troops
were killed. The insurgents also suf-
fered considerable loss. Admiral

that it got TO be news a month or

over Il mile. and one man couldn't
read it all in Il month if he worked

Washington to hundreds and thousands
Of newspapers throughout the world.

AN AERIAL PHENOMENON.
Very Brilliant Meteor Falls in the Far
West.

Carson. New, Feb. 5.-The brilliant
meteor that passed over this place
Thursday evening a few minutes after
10 O'Clock struck the ground between
Cande1aria and Belleville, about five
miles from the railroad track. At
Belleville the conclusion was so great
that several persons were thrown from
their chairs and window panes We're
broken. At places near where the
aerial visitor struck the strange phe-
noncnon was observed OF a rapid fall
in temperature and within twenty min
utes the thermometer at Candalaria
registered thirty degrees lower than
when the meteor was first discovered.
Virginia, New, Feb. 5.-All who saw
the meteor say it was the most brilliant
they have eve It gave out a
fiery glare OF such binding brightness
that the electric arc lights palef in
contrast. The celestial messenger i'll
it's flight left IL fiery trail in its wake
Of a violet tint resembling the tail of
q comet.
San Francisco, Feb. 5.-The meteor
was distinctly seen in this city, but
only late last night was it learned
where it had struck the earth. EX-
ploring parties have started for the
spot.

sible, but up to date l have not been
able to find any II better than the
men with whom the season of 1898
closed. There is no use talking about
spending money to get players in these

GAVIN CAMPBELL.
A Well Known Railroad Man Dies at
Stevens Point.

A Well Known Railroad Man Dies at
Stevens Point.
Stevens Point, Jan. 31a-Gayin Camp
bell, n of the best known railroad
men in the west, died at his home
here this mor1ing. His death was the
result of a complication of diseases,
from which he had suffered for the
past two years. The end came very
suddenly, although he had rapidly
failed for the past two weeks.
Mr.. Campbell was born at Glasgow,
Scotland, in 1886, and came to the Cen
trail road in 1871 a 8 it's master me-
chanic, holding that position till 1873,
when he became division superintend-
ent. From 1885 to 1889 he was gen
eral manager of the Green Bay & Wi
mona railroad, and from 1889 until a
few months ago vas general superin-
tendent of the Central.
Mr.. Campbell was So years of age.
He began r~ailroading when yet a boy
and had followed it since. Z. j. Van
Horn, acting superintendent of tele-
| graph of the Wisconsin Central rail
! road, is a ~son-in-law of Mr.. Campbell.
Failing health caused Mr.. Campbell
to retire from active work some time
ago. Immediately afterward he jour
neyed through California and the west
in search of health, and returned to
Stevens Point to take up his residence
there about June 1. Though he has
been very low for some time his death
was not expected for some time tC
come.

House Committee.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The effort to

The vote was taken on the bill of

was given with the reservation that
they would vote against the bill on

WHAT THE THUGS LEFT
The Health Resort Made Big Money
Out Of the Sports.

Jacksonville, Feb. Snow that the
fight between Corbett and Mitchell
is over and all the sporting men have
left town the mgnates of the DuvaI
Athletic club are busy trying to find
out how they stand. Although the fight
was n of the most shamefully mis-
managed ones ever held the public
interest in it was so great that MeSsrs.
Bowden, Mason and Vendig will prob
ably get out with whole pockets, even
if they have lost the confidence and
respect Of the entire sporting world.
1t depends considerably on what the
lawyers fees will be before it can be
determined how the Duval Athletic
association came out in its venture.
The club took in $4,000 at the gate
and $1,000 was subscribed by the
hotels, railroads and people. The ex-
! penSes of the club were as follows:
Purse, $4,000; training expenses for
the principals. $4,000; building the
arena, $1,000; i~ncidentals, $1,000; total
$4,000; balance on hand. $1,000.
The livery stables, saloons. hotels.
railroads., restaurants and Western
Union made considerable out of the
great event.
The hackmen carried 1.500 people out
to the grounds and back again at al
sorts Of prices for the round trip
That's $4,000 for them alone. The
hotels got all the way from $4,000 tc
$4,000; the saloons got fully $4,000
and the restaurants $4,000; $4,000
more was spent for rooms at the apart
ment houses and the boarding houses
and about $1,000 for i~nciEentals. The
total expenditure in the city was some
where from 100000 to $4,000, outside
Of the $4,000 which the club took il
for tickets to the arena, which swells
the total to over 100000.
What the Western Union took il
can only be estimated. 1t had thirteen
