1t Is understood. however, that a president
Of the road Is to be elected, as Marshal A.
A. Wilson has found his official duties and
his already extensive private interests too
pressing to allow him to give the time
necessary to direct the important affairs of
the company as acting. president. In well
informed circles the name of Mr.. Samuel F.
fhilllps, who was president of the WASH
ngton and Georgetown railroad many wears
ago. is prominently mentioned as that of the
probable president. while Mr.. Dorsey Clag-
EFT Is also said to be the coming man, Who
ever is chosen will have very arduous work
before him. The recent action of Congress
IN declaring that some underground system
Vi motive power must be adopted by the
company for the propulsion of its cars. and
the compulsory change to be made in the
cars themselves, will give the new president
number of unusually veXatious problems
to solve.

,lso with being the bearer of the wishes OF
the directory of the A. r. u. that Grand

election Those fremen who did not join

keep his men out Of the struggle.
In the Chicago labor circles 1t is not be-
lieved Debs will be able to defeat Sargent
He will, however. have an opportunity
given him TO address the convention on the
value of q single railroad union, or of close
federation between those now existing.
Mr.. Debs said before leaving he was In
favor of himself and the board Of directors
0f the American Railway Union resigning

Sew officers, IL by 50 doing the brother
hoods could be induced to follow q similar
course. He believed the long term Of Office
Geld by MIR. Sargent has created cliques
and factions in the brotherhood which
would never get wiped out until a new man
should come to its head He felt the same
was true of the order of the engineers.

John III. Gillet Of Porter Lake circuit court
created a great deal of surprise when he
charged the grand jury to make thorough
Investigation of the riots at Hammond dur
ing the recent strike against the Pullman
Company. He said:
II would be recreant in my duty If 1

Of violence and lawlessness that occurred
in this county during the late strike. While
the acts of wrongdoing were directed
principally at railroads, yet as an incident
OF such acts. men were beaten almost to
death because they performed their duties
while others were compelled on pain of
death to flee the state because they were
suspected of having given information as

believe that the wrongs committed were
done chiefly by non-residents, who had been
driven over the state line by the military
Yet IL Is a fact that certain residents of
this county were leaders in the acts so COM
mitted- There can be no question as to the
ABSTRACT right OF a man, not only to strike

NINA REACHES QUEENSTOWN.
Capt. Freitch Made Excellent Time IN
CROSSING.

Crossing.
QUEENSTOWN, ireland, September H.
The little schooner Nina. Capt. Freitch. ar
rived here today from New York. Freitch
was the only man on board
The Nina sailed from New York on Sum-
day. August 5. She thus makes the trip
across the Atlantic in thirty-eight days,
remarkable time for such a craft and only
nine days behind the time made by the
yacht Valkyrie when she returned to Eng
land from this country.
The Nina is schooner rigged AZ feet
over all. She was brought to New York by
capt. Freftch from Milwaukee in June
last: When he reached New York Capt
Freitch was without funds and put his
ooat on exhibition for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the amount necessary to provision
ard equip his craft before undertaking his
voyage across the Atlantic. The boat COM
al ded considerable attention. and with the
funds thus raised. together with the assist
az &c Of his Swedish friends. the captain
mad the Nina put in readiness for the trip
In shipping circles considerable doubt was
expressed as to the ability Of the Nina to
cross the ocean In safety.
Capt. Frietch reports that when he was
TOUR days out from New York Nina sprang
leak and he was compelled to build and
rig new pump before he was able to get
the water under. During this work he in
jured his right leg.
on the banks of Newfoundland on Au-
gust IA the Nina encountered a gale of
wird and was hove to for 30 hours. Her
commander then found that the little
schooner's rudder was sprung. and he had
to lower himself over the stern in order
to partly repair 1t. But Capt. Frietch was
not able to repair the rudder sufficiently
for ii to be used and therefore he was
forced to steer her for 1000 miles with a
re pc gearing lowed astern.

Eventually. however. he spoke the steamer

CASE OF THE KERNS GIRL
An Effort Being Made to Unravel the
Mystery.
Some Discrepancies Found in the
Girls Statemcnt-An Effort to Find
Exactly Her Treatment.

Laura kerns, the sixteen-year-old girl
who was found in a stupefied condition
across the Aqueduct bridge night before
last. and who was brought to the station,
gave the Information the next morning that
her home was in Fulton county, Pa. She
stated that she had been invited to take a
ride on Capt Robert Underdonks canal
boat AM .'1d drank something which be-
rumbed -. senses. Yesterday she was
taken in the Pc .rol wagon TO the first pre-
cinct station. where she was turned over to
the matron there
The girl claims that she went on to take
but a short ride and was brought all the
way to Georgetown. Here she was, in fact,
abandoned. The police are now at work on
the case They will ascertain how far the
girl has suffered through her alleged en-
ticement and act toward those responsible
accordingly
Some Discrepancies.
Investigation shows up some unexplained
discrepancies in the case of Underdonk and
Laura Ke-ns. The girl was brought to the
station the evening of the 10th. She
stated that she had just arrived from Cum
berland. Yet the records of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company show that Capt.
Underdonk' boat, the c. Wagley n, had
arrived unloaded,- and cleared for Cumber-
land by the 9Th.
The girl had given the officers the i'm
preston that she had stayed upon the boat
up to within few hours of her arrest.
Shortly after the girl was brought to the
station a man giving his name as Robert
UnderdOnk came before the lieutenant. He
said she had come down with him, and had
been taken sick. If this was Underdonk
he. could not have gone back. of course,
with his boat but had probably spent the
three or four days in town. Often the canal
captains do not go back with their boats
bat go to Cumberland by train. 1t is pos
Sible that Underdonk has done this. He
could not be found today about the canal
or haunts of the boatmen, and none had
seen him since his boat went up.
In spite of the report here that Robert
with rape about one year ago, but that it
was his brother Charles, an attache of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Office says he knows
positively to the contrary. The charge
against him. though, was never pressed
and after some confinement in the Rock
Vile jail Uhe alleged offense having been
committed in Montgomery county,, he was
released. '@
Removed 10 the Hospital.
This afternoon a low fever developed In
the girls condition. She was placed in
charge of Sanitary Officer Frank, who
shortly before Q O'Clock had her removed
In an ambulance from the station to Provi-
dence Hospital.

Excitement Caused at Denver Where
Some Defendants Reside.
DENVER. Col. September 12.-The Asso-
ciated Press dispatches from New York
concerning the charges OF fraud against
John &. Beatty and others in a Sonora
Mexico. land deal eas created some ex-
element in this city. where some Of the
defendants reside
James III. Brown. one of the defendants,
said in reference to the company that a
long while ago he saw the Impractical ility
of the scheme advances ed by Beatty and sent
in mis- resignation as one of the directors,
as he old not care to have his name used
IN connection with Ii.
II attended but one meeting of the board
OF directors and that was Immediately
after the company was formed, said MIR.
Brown. Il have learned recently that
Beatty and Miller went east and 1 heard
they had disposed of some of the stock to
eastern parties. although l never heard
whether or not they ever did anything
toward making the scheme work"
I. j. O'Donnell said: Il have been at
torney for the Colorado River Irrigation
Company since its organization. From
what I know of the affairs of the company
Beatty against John c. Beatty and the
company in New York Is family quarrel
The men are cousins.
The Colorado men mentioned have had
agement since the first year Of it's exist
ence. They had sold some of their stock
to James H. Beatty, but in the contro-
versy between James II. Beatty and John
c. Beatty they sided with the latter and
cast the deciding vote in his favor. This
irritated James Beatty and he has undoubt-
eddy named them as parties defendant in
the suit largely out of spite. Mr.. Samuel
". Wood. who is named as defendant.
has not been director of the company nor
had anything to do with 1t for some two
years or more, and 50 far as / know does
not and has not for that length of time
owned a share In 1t: The company owns
valuable franchises in California. secured
by location and acts of Congress. and has
the absolute title to between eight and
nine hundred thousand acres of land In
Sonora, Mexico, much of Ii Immediately
on the American border.
THE land Ii said by parties who have
seen 1t to be valuable. The company has
been in an embarrassed position since the
financial panic of 1893. and this suit Is
undoubtedly the elimination of an attempt
upon the part of the persons who have
brought 1t to freeze out ]. c. Beatty and
the other stockholders and obtain the fran
chises and property of the company them
selves"
