London, Sept. 10,-A dispatch received
here from Shanghai says: "The Chinese

crew of the Chean were safely landed in
her boats. There is no hope of saving
the transport" "
Another dispatch received here from
Shanghai says: Saturday last some Chi
nese officials boarded a French mail
steamer en- route to Japan and demanded
to search the ship for Japanese oticers,
coming from Europe, who were said to De
returning home on board. The captain of
the steamer refused to allow the ship to
be searched, and was obliged to threaten
TO ask for the assistance of the French
warship before the local officials with
drew.

Japanese legations show that the officials

VILLAGE WIPED OUT.
The Little Town of Dalton Consumed
in an Early Morning Blaze.

Masillon, o., Sept. 1O-The little vii
lage of Dalton, located nine miles north of
here, was almcst totally destroyed by
fire early this morning The fire origi-
mated in a stable, while the direct cause
of its origin is unknown. 1t is presumed
to have been caused by tramps taking up
their quarters there for the night. The
entire loss is estimated at $500 900, the
heaviest losers being the Royal Insurance
Company and the postoffice department,
whose entire contents were included in
the fire.
The Canton, Masillon and Orrville fire
departments were hastily summoned and
responded, butt their presence was of no
avail, as sufficient water could not be pro
cured to do any good. The citizens are
frantic with grief over the loss of their
business blocks and residences. and home
less women and children are seen an every
corner crying bitterly.

roads were built in New York Pullman,
who was deeply interested in them, fore
saw that they would vastly Increase the
value of real estate near the Harlem.
Foreseeing, he thought 10 establish his
manufacturing community there, but he
was deferred from it by the reflection
that Pullman would not be an entity;
it would be but part of New York. So
he founded Pullman then outside of
Chicago. The land cost him SS0O,000 1t
is now worth s., 0OO00O, and few yea RS
will make it worth 100000 900. But if he
had bought it on Manhattan Island Pull
man would have been worth $500, 000, 900
instead of $50, 100000. Does he lie awake
and toss while he reflects on what might
have been-Pullman as rich as Wander
bilt and Astorl
Catherine of Russia once said to her
favorite of the minute and prime minis
ter, ~ want cities; will have cities. !"
So they built cities for her and dressed
the serfs as thriving citizens. Catherine
made an entry into some of them ana was
pleased to be highly delighted. When the
empress Travelled they put up cities OF
painted cardboard in the distance and so
deceived her into the belief that her
realm was prosI erous. her people happy.
George NJ. Pullman built Pullman and, in
view Of late events it seems he expected
his people to be happy, contenJed and
prosperous, as per his orders. His intense
individuality failed recognized the indi-
vidualities of men not so rich.
Pullman himself says that he built
Pullman that better surroundings might
create better workmen. His confessed
motive was selfish. To support his state
ment is the fact that nothing is to be had
in Pullman for nothing. If its founder
had let his fancy play he would have
called Pullman the City OF Quidproquo
HE PAYS FOR HIS DRINKS.
There is not saloon in Pullman. But
there is a hotel. the Florence, named
after his Miss Pullman, and in that hotel
there is barroom into which no work
man may enter. One day George M. Pull
man went in there to get drink. He
takes a glass of wine, of beer or OF
whisky, but he is most temperate in his
use of liquor. The bartender recognized
him, but he did not know that the quick
est and surest way to anger Pullman was
10 fer him something for nothing The
underlying principle Of his life is that
people are willing to pay for the best II
they get the worth Of their money.
Pullman had his drink and put dollar
on the bar
.Oh, never mind the money" said the
bartender, anxious TO ingratiate himself
that's all right, Mr.. Pullman"
Pullman stabbed the bartender with a
look.
Give me my change" said he.
ooh, it's all right insisted the fatuous
man on the other side of the bar; take a
drink with the house, sir.n
II will pay you!" Numbered Pullman
"Give me my change this Instant"
He got his change and STROBE into the
hotel Office, furious.
"Herew he cried 10 the manager
"Where did you get that fellow 10 there

ter, the reference to Mr.. Cover being
couched in substantially these words
What do you think Fred Cover has re
appeared here; won't there be time
nowP'
A significant thing about this brief pas
sage is that it refers 10 the advent of Mr..
Cover as something the writer and
everybody else accepted as an indisput-
able fact something so well established
that the real interest now centers on
what the consequences of his reappear-
ance will be.
There are hundreds of persons in Prov
idence, friends and relatives of Cover,
who have never believed he was dead
He was wealthy man before
his reputed fatal balloon ascension, but
his administrators found little TO quarrel
over.
Somehow or other Cover had dis
posed of his wealth in such way and
under such mysterious circumstances
that it gave something more than
a color of credence TO the assertion that
his death was put up Job, and that
he was merely getting out of the way tenn
porarily.
When his brother. Cen George Lewis
Cover, has been questioned touching
upon the various stroies and the proba bill
ity Of his brother not being dead, he has
either given an equivocal answer or de-
clared that he knew nothing Of the fate
of his brother other than that which he
had read in the columns of the press or
had been told by friends in Paris.
The general belief here is that he is
not dead and that he carefully arranged
his financial affairs so as to pull out
quietly and not attract attention by the
sudden reduction of his bank accounts
and inves tments, asd that he has plenty
of money sailed away.
Frederick A. Cover was well-known
man about town in this city fifteen years
ago. That was before he married Lille
Norton, or Lillian Nordica, as she is
ter in Pennington, Me, who died leaving
his family almost destitute. Frederick
succeeded in obtaining good education,
and then became newspaper man.
He was on the stat Of paper in Provi-
dence when he was engaged TO assist in
booming the Bell telephone. His work in
this direction was most successful The
company paid him well for his services
and later he obtained an interest in tho
business. He lived in fine style at the
Fifth Avenue hotel and spent the sum
mers at Newport. Then he went to Paris
for the telephone company. and in 1882 he
met and married the prima donna. Then
married life was not happy, and in 1885,
Mrs. Cover, who had returned TO this
country, began suit for separate main
! tenance.

PLOT IS FRUSTRATED.
Dynamite Bomb Discovered in Time
to Save Many Lives.
From the Chicago ribune, July 10.

From the Chicago Z ribune July l2.
Despite the strenuous efforts to keep 1t
a profound secret, the fact leaked out
last evening at Pullman that a plot to
blow up the Illinois Central shop, oppo-
site Burnside, in which Col Turner's
headquarters were located until Tuesday,
had been discovered and frustrated.
Tuesday night one of the guards on duty
in the shops found what was believed to
have been dynamite bomb lying AMONG
lou OF engines about the center of the
buildings, which covers nearly
half an acre of ground and
contains much valuable machinery.
The bomb was a caSJ-1ron tube three
inches in diameter, eighte inches long,
and closed at either end with hardwood
plugs There was a fuse in one end. II
was picked up tenderly by the guard,
carried 10 headquarters and turned over
to Col. Turner. He had it delivered at once
TO the police. and by them the thing was
taken away from Burnside, but TO what
place could not be learned. When Col.
Turner was asked for information con-
corning the find he begged to be excused
from discussing the matter, but did not
deny the story. He said, however, that
the use of dynamite might be ex-
pected at any moment, and an
evidence of his fears in that direction
was SuOWu WHSIS ne hau every NUN anu
corner of the Hotel Florence carefully
searched Immediately after establishing
his headquarters in that house. A strict
order was also issued to the men at Pull
man, Burnside, Grand Crossing, and all
other posts TO thoroughly examine the
places where bombs would be most likely
TO be deposited, and the guard in and
about the shops was increased both day
and night Had the bomb exploded where

destroyed the plant, but blown every
