John III. Gillet Of Porter Lake circuit court

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

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.

James III. Brown. one of the defendants,

in mis- resignation as one of the directors,
as he old not care to have his name used

Brown. Il have learned recently that
Beatty and Miller went east and 1 heard

The men are cousins.
The Colorado men mentioned have had

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"
