A Mystery

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Two husbands claim
ing the body of a dead vile, one identify
ing the remains by a photograph and the
other seeking to establish his claim by
describing every article found in her bag
gage, is the dilemma which now confronts
Coroner McHale of this city,
April 18th, a woman who reach.d Chi
cago over the Santa Fe railroad went
directly to II cheap hotel. Five minutes
after reaching the hotel the woman fell
dead. In her possession was found a ticket
signed Mrs. Lang from San Francisco
to Philadelphia. Oa her trunk was found
the name "B. Sampson" Coroner McHale
. ndeavored to find the woman's ,e ative.
III Philadelphia, but failing, caused the
body to be inferred in Waldheim cemetery.
Soon after the burial Leon Lang of PhiIa-
delphia came to Chicago and declared lie
Thought the woman to be his wife, who
had been for two years in California for
her health. Mr.. Lang had a picture of
his wife, which strongly resembled the
dead woman, but when it came to describ-
ing ner baggage he could no tell the APP
pearance of q single article in the coro--
ner's possession, aud that official not be.
ing satisfied, declined to surrender the
baggage.
Recently A. B. Sampson, of Tucson,
Ariz., a we'll known ard wealthy resident
of the territory, wrote Coroner McHale
that the woman was his wife and that they
had been married ten years. He said she
had started from San Francisco in April
for the East and was to take a long voyage
to Calcutta, India. She had written him
last on April 18th, saying that she had
met a lady on the cars and they were to
travel together to the seaboard. When he
dad not hear again Mr.. Sampson grew
alarmed and began an investigation. He
learned of the unidentified woman in
Chicago and concluded she had been his
wife. He prepared to recover his wife's
property. Coroner McHale was relieved
when the Westerner identified the trunk

of tooth powder. He mentioned note
paper in the trunk. 1t was there printed
in his nome and with the insignia of the
Grand Army of the republic upon it. Mr..
Sampson used the paper as the COM
mander Of the Union Veterans associa-
tion of Arizona. 1t IA found just where
he deserted it. The name "B. Sampson"
was also on the +rnnk. To clinch his
claim he sent a photograph of Mrs. samp.
son, and notified the coroner to. scnd the
rem aims to Tucson.
The picture had no resemblance to the
dead woman. No one could consider them.
for an instant as likenesses of the same
individual. The coroner was in a quand-
airy. II tho deceased was Mrs. Lang, how
came she with the property of Mrs. Samp-
son? II she was Mrs. Sampson, why did
she not resemble her own photograph,
how came she with q ticket bearing the
signature of Lang? Or being either of
the two women, what had become of the
other! With these problems Coroner
McHale is wrestling, nor has he vet
anawered them. Meanwhile both claim.
ants are increasing their endeavors to
secure the remains and the property.

A Desperate Fight.

DANvILLE, Pa, Jan 1S.-Five
masked outlaws made u raid on the
postotlice at an early hour yesterday
morning. A policeman saw a masked
man crouching in the doorway and
drew revolver, but before he could
fire the stranger slipped around
corner. The policeman rushed to the
homes Of Officers Dave Rissel and
John Van Gilger and gave the alarm.
In a few minutes the men ran to the
postotiice in time to meet the mystic
rious stranger emerging from the
door, followed by u companion.
They blew u loud, piercing whistles
and commenced firing revolvers atNN
the policemen, who lodged behind
lamp posts and returned the fire.
Ten shots were exchanged, when the
robbers we're reinforced by three
more men. Every one was well
armed and continuous round
of firing was commenced. The
bandits formed S. Nare and Rugged
the stone steps leading to the massive
building, where they were able to-
escape the policemen's bullets. Nu-
merous citizens appeared armed with
weapons of every description. The
engagement became so warm that the
robbers retreated to the river bank.
They discharged three volleys at the
excited townsmen and ran east, each
side exchanging shots. Van Gilger,
who led the pursuers, suddenly threw
up his hands and fell, shot through
the lungs. At about the same time
two robbers fell. Their comrades
grabbed them, and during momen-
tary halt of the pursuers, managed
to reach the Susquehanna river
boat was secured and the three out
laws, after laying their wounded COM
panions at the bottom of the boat,
commenced sculling in the direc~
ton OF the Northumberland side.

furiated men, securing as many boats
as possible and an exciting chase en-
sued revolvers and rides cracking
at every turn, but no one was hit.
Owing to their good start the outlaws
succeeded in reaching the opposite
side before the foremost boat, con-
tanning the police, was half way
across and when the pursuers touched
land the daring men were in the
mountains, which are being secured
on all sides by the sheritf's posse. 1t
is thought that the bandits will seek
a cave in order to hide their wounded
comrades and to throw the police off
the scent, In the event of their sur
prise another desperate battle will
occur.

"a SHARP SWINDLER.
HE WORKS OFF COUNTERFEIT
MONEY.
The Land Boomers of Porter County, In
diana. arc Taken In" by "A shrcwd
counterfeiter, and Were Happy for n
WhIIe-BurIed in Ice.

VALPARA1so. Ind, Jan. 22.-The
north part of this county is on boom,
which makes it a good field for sharp
ers to get in their wook. Last Wednes-
day a party claiming to be of Boston
reached Chesterton, claiming to rep
resent u syndicate of capitalists OF
Chicago, Cincinnati and New York,
saying they wanted to secure about
2000 acres OF land there for a large
manufacturing site. He visited sew
eral of the large property owners, Sc
curing options on their land, saying
other parties would be out in a few
days to look at the property
and close up the deal. In each
case he paid for the option with u
large bill, always receiving large
amount of change. He spent money
freely in Chesterton and Porter.
He called at the Chesterton bank, ask
ing for some blank bank notes. He
filed out two for $3.50 and sos, pnya-
BILE to Thomas Payne and signed by
Patrick O'Connor, wealthy farmer
near Chesterton. Coming to this city
he succeeded in selling them to the
State bank of Valparaiso. He then
returned to Chesterton and from there
visited Laporte and Michigan City.
Saturday night it was discovered that
large amount of counterfeit money
was in circulation in Chesterton and
Porter which was traced to the land
speculator, 1t is supposed that all
the money he paid for options was
counterfeit. saturday morning Pat
rick O'Connor received notice from
the State bank of Valparaiso that they
held his notes given to Thomas Payne
due in May next. Mr.. O'Connor pro-
nounced them forgery, claiming to
nave never given his note to Payne.
1t is thought the Laporte and Michi-
gan City banks were swindled also, as
he visited both towns during the
week.

Senator Walthall is 63 years old and

fore it yesterday the resolution Of Mr..
Bailey to the effect that ii was the
sense of congress that the secretary
of the treasury had no power to sell
bonds for any purpose other than to
preserve the redemption fund. The
members talked about the matter
One OF the questions was whether
or not Secretary Carlisle was selling
bonds for any purpose other than to
build up the resumption fund, he hav-
ing at no time said that such sale
was for any other purpose. 1t was
finally agreed to defer the considera-
ton OF the resolution until Secretary
Carlisle could come before the com
mittee. 1t is thought that there will
be nothing done with the resolution,
as the judiciary committee, composed
in great part OF the present mem
bers, had the subject of this redemp-
ton fund, its size, strength and en-
ployment, up under Secretary Foster.
The committee made report then to
the effect that while it did not dis
pute the power of the secretary to
issue bonds under the act OF 1873 it
was of the opinion that he could not
use any OF such funds for any purpose
other than in redeeming legal tender
notes.

Tuesday-A Fight on Sugar bounty is

That Article.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-There was
a meeting Saturday afternoon of the
Democratic memben5 of the ways and
means committee The internal rev.
enue tax bill was again considered
but the meeting was entirely informal
and no votes were taken. The bill
will be reported to the full committee
to-day and to the house probably
Tuesday morning. Members of the
minority in favor of making the bill a
part Of the pending tariff bill say that
an attempt will be made soon
after the bill is placed upon the calen-
OAR to have it considered at once as
fan amendment. This motion will
probably be made by Mr.. Mcmillan,
chairman of the subcommittee which
drafted the bill. These plans may be
overthrow at any time, either by the
action of the Democratic members
who are opposed to an income tax and
who may vote with the Republicans
and defeat the measure in full com
mittee, or by the refusal OF Chairman
Richardson to recognize the repre-
sentative OF the Democratic minority
members when he attempts to have
the bill taken from the calendar and
considered as an amendment.
