4 Well Known Railroad Man Dies at
Stevens Point.

4 Well Known Railroad Man Dies at
Stevens Point.
Stevens Point, JAN 31-Gayin Camp
bell, one Of the best known railroad
men in the west, died at his home
here this morning. 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 as it's master me-
chanic, holding that position till 1878,
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 was general superin-
tendent of the Central.
Mr. Campbell was So years of age.
He began railroading when yet boy
and had followed it since. F. 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 /. Though ne has
been very low for some time his death
was not expected for some time to
come.

! Rio Janciro. Feb. 3.-A fresh sens;-
ton was created yesterday by the sum
| llary seizure Of Il British tug by order
OF President Peixoto. The English
friends of de Mello and D'Gama, it has
been asserted. have not only given ann
mumition to the insurgent sal o"s, hu
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 overhauled
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 was 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-
oto's reasons for making the seizure to
; the home government.
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.

| Rritain's pretense about observing neu-
! trality between the beligerentS re
ceives little credence and the people

fered considerable loss. Admiral

tive in the southern part Of the re

He Is Accused of Two Crimes by 6
Quaker City Jeweler.

Philadelphia, Feb. 3-Policoman 10
seph Burrows Dillon, until yesterday of
the third district station house, will
appear before a magistrate to answer
the charge of larceny by bailee and
obtaining jewclry under false pre-
lenses.
The warrant on which Dillon was
arrested was sworn out by Samuel
Swartz, a jeWeler, of AT South street.
In his affidavit Swaltz claims tina
Dillon taught gold watch from him
about year ago and never paid for it,
always taking refuge in the dignity
Of his position for pursuing such a
course.
Swartz also claims that the police
man actually took very valuable
watch from his pocket which he failed
to replace or even give a satisfactory
account of it's whereabouts. On Janu-
airy Swartz presented to Director of
Public Safety Better personally Il
sworn statement of facts, similar to
those on which the warrant was sworn
out, and the case of Dillon was con
sequen1y given due consideration be
fore the police board Of inquiry.
Yesterday that body decided that Dill
Ion would hereafter be attached to
the fourth district police station.

transfer. Dillon, who is a graduate
of the house of correction, has a very

men. Two years ago information was
received at police headquarters that

Omaha. Feb. 8 Shortly before !
O'Clock tonight fire broke out in the
show window of the Boston store and
five minutes later the entire buildinr
was ablaZe. The store WAS crowded
with clerks and customers, it being
the custom To keep open Saturday
nights. The third floor was occupied
by Il night school,
CONSERVATION rcigned among the peo-
pie i'll the store and Il mad rush for tho
exits began. Men, women and children
crowded for the streets, the sales girls
and cash girls leaving their wraps and
other belongings.
Everybody escaped alive, but
number of girls, employed in the mil
lincry and cloak department, were
scorched and blistered, several losing
all the hair from their heads.
On the west stood ST. Magdalines
church 1t was quickly on fire and
burned like Il tar barrel.
On the south. across Douglass street,
was the y. Nj. c. A. building and Il
row OF three story flats. On the ground
floor of the Y. NJ. G.. A. Building Is
Thompson Il Belden's drygoods store.
This firm suffered considerable loss
The upper floor of the flats was cleaned
out.
The intense heat from the Boston
Store building kept the tiremen out OF
that portion of Douglass street half
an hour and this gave the flames IL
chance to get across the street.
So rapidly did the Boston store burn
that the cashier abandoned the cash
in the drawer and the bookkeepcrs
had to leave the books on which
they were working. The safe door was
open but no one dared to tempt death
by trying to close it. The escape OF
the inmates from the burning finder
box was all but miraculous.
The loss to the Boston store is $50
600 Other losses are estimated ut
100000. Insurance on Boston store
$4,000.

WILLIS STILL DISSATISFIED.
Doesn't Like the Way President Dole
Does Things.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The president
today transmitted to congress the Homo
lulu dispatch received from Minister
Willis last Saturday. The letter of
President Dole is not included for lack
Of time to describe it after Mr.. Willis
received it. The ''confidentap' dispatch
Of Minister Willis is as follows:

lulu, II. l., Jan. l., 1S94.-Hon. w.
@. Gresham, Secretary of Stat e.-Sir:
Yesterday, at $50 p. M, received
the Hon. S. Il. Dole's answer TO my
letter OF January l, requesting him at
his earliest convenience to give me
the specifications contained in a prior
letter. Hi answer is about fifty pages
of closely written official paper and
has been delivered too late TO either
copy or reply to in time for the steamer
leaving at p. N. today.
There is one extract, however, to
which l think your attention should
be called, wherein it is stated that
this government has been and now is
subjected to the necessity of increased
"diSul tuucoS anu IL IISc duultlOllttl
expense, which but for such attitude
would have been unnecessary. The
emphasis above is mine. In a previous
letter Of December 81 Minister Dole
had stated that the government offices
have been placed and still continue
in condition Of defense and prepara-
ton for siege, and the community has
been put into a state Of mind border
ing on terrorism
Some portions of the letters from
which these extracts are made con-
firm the above statements. while 9th
ers seem to negative them. With this
explanation | submit them to your
, consideration. The next steamer leaves
here February 3, which wolld place
you in possession of Mr.. Dole's letter
and my proposed reply thereto Feb
ruary is.
'.Respectfully, Albert S. Willis"

letter in reply to Willis was included.

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

Jacksonville. Feb. 3.-Now that the
fight between Corbett and Mitchell
is over and all the sporting men have
left town the mgnates of the Duval
Athletic club are busy trying to find
out how they stand. Although the fight
was one of the most shamefully mis-
managed ones ever held the public
interest in it was 50 great that A1essrs.
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 Duva1 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, $1,000; building the
arena, $1,000; incidentals, $1,000; total,
ST 900; 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 $1,000 for them alone. The
hotels got all the way from $4,000 to
So, 900; the saloons got fully $4,000
and the restaurants 5000; $4,000
more was spent for rooms at the apart
ment houses and the boarding houses
and about $1,000 for incidentals. The
total expenditure in the city was some
where from sec, 900 to $4,000, outside
of the S31, 900 which the club took in
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
