with fire in New York. In his confess
sion he says he had been doing some jobs
III Massachusetts. That gave US the tip
at once, and we learned that Rosenbaum,
Cohen and Kirshkoff had put up the job to
burn Cohen's place. We had Kirshkofi
brought on, and took his confession.
AS usual, the confederates had sworn
that the one who would betray the plot
should be killed. II seems that the others
discovered that Rosenbaum was traitor,
and when he went to light the fire in Lynn
the others locked the door on him and ex-
pected he would be killed in the explosion.
He escaped with his face lacerated. Cohen
ran away. and, as we had promised Kirsh-
koff immunity from prosecution if he con-
fessed, no one was brought to justice for
that crime
II know that syndicate of professional
frebugs has been at work in New York
for ten years, and it is safe to assert that
there are half dozen more besides this
one that has just been discovered. They
are in Chicago, too, and in all the large
cities.''

NEW YORK, n. Y. June 24.-Patriotic
Norwegians in the United States are rally.
ing to the support of their country in its
political difficulties with Sweden, and in
the event of open disruption they will be
leading factors in the rebellion. Societies
are being organized, defense funds raised
and plans arranged for the coming
struggle.
The Norsemen of New York and Brook
Ign are the most active and ready in this
movement.
Although the majority of their fellow
countrymen live in the Northwestern
States. the popular sentiment in Norway is
for warships. A few days ago there was
deposited in the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company the nucleus of a fund to build a
cruiser, to be paid for by the money sub
scribed in this country.
The plan of this defense fund was pro-
posed at the celebration in Brooklyn of
the Norwegian national holiday, May 81.
On that day $500 was pledged, and it is ex-
pected that large sums will be subscribed
by wealthy Norwegians in the West.

JIM WILL NOT TALK.
He Claims to Know Absolutely
Nothing About His Wife'S
Action.
NO PROCEEDINGS IN DAKOTA.
Mrs. Corbett Did Not Go to Yankton
to Look After Her Legal
Interests.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 24,-The
marital troubles of Jim Corbett and wife
seem to be approaching a climax. A re-
porter called at Mrs. Corbett's fine home
146 West Eighty-eighth street, but her
father, Mr.. Lake, said the report that she
had been TO Yankton, S. D., to institute
proceedings there against her husband was
untrue. He further stated that his daugh-
ter had not been outside OF New York Tor
some little time.
Howe g. Hummel are Mrs. Corbett's at
toyeys. and Abe Hummel admits that there
is likelihood of the affair soon becoming
very public in all its details, but Just now
he declines to give out any particulars.
The champion himself is almost as close
moEthed as clam on the subject, as the
following dispatch shows:
ASBURY PARK. N J., June 23.-James
J. Corbett, the pugilst was found at his cot
tage here tonight. After he had returned
from drive he was interviewed by CORE
spondent as to his marital troubles. Corbett
was polite, but uneommunicative. He stated
that If Mrs. Corbett had applied for a divorce
IN Yankton he did not know of it. When
asked If it was fact that Mrs. Corbett had al
ready brought proceedings for absolute divorce
rather not answer that question. He declined
also 10 say whether papers had been served on
him by the attorneys of Mrs. Corbett. On
being asked II it were fact that he had filed
his answer he hesitated and again declined to
reply.
1t was suggested that perhaps he had placed
the matter in the hands of his attorney, to
which Corbett replied, 81 did not say had an
attorney, did I?''

may be settled out of court by referee or other

not know what may happen. If the time comes
side OF the story
Corbett was asked if it were a fact that he had
decided handsome residence on Eighty-eighth
street, New York, to his wife and was now pay
ing her 800 week. His reply was: ST see the
newspapers say So"
Jim said it might, perhaps, be to his advan-
tage 10 talk, but he declined to do SO from prin-
ciple. He intimated that the proceedings
might not be brought, but was positive in de-
clining to talk on the subject As to the name
of the correspondent in the case. he said that
was matter which he would not discuss with
any one. Corbett said that he had been
pressed By newspaper men to talk on this mat
ter, but it was one between his wife and him
self and he would not utter word. If any
talking was done outside the courts it would
be by the other side not by him.
newspaper man had offered him $1,000
cash to talk of the matter or write such state
nents as he desired to make, but he positively
declined the offer, as he is not trading on the
private troubles between himself and Mrs.
Corbett.

POLITICS IN KENTUCKY,
The Democratic Convention
Promises to Open With
a Big Fight.
The Contest for Governor Lies Be-
tween CaSSius NJ. Clay Jr. and
p. Watt Hardin,

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 24.-To-mor.
rows State Democratic Gubernatorial Con.
vention will start out with a fight 1t will
begin with the temporary organization
and however it may terminate the chair
man will be a gold standard bearer. The
Hardin men. although Hardin is free
silver advocate, will put up Judge William
Beckner of Winchester, gold man, for
temporary chairman, while the Clay fol-
lowers will select for the place w. j. Stone
of Lyons County. This afternoon the con-
vention to nominate Railroad Commits
sioner for the Second District met. There
was little that was significant about it.
The Office of Railroad Commissioner pays
but $4,000 year. George H. Alexander
was the choice of the convention.
Tonight the rotundas of the hotels are
full of delegates, and they are still coming
in. All the candidates for gubernatorial
honors have opened headquarters, but it is
now conceded that the fight is between
two only-Cassius NJ. Clay Jr. of Bourbon
County and P. Watt Hardin of Franklin
County. Both claim their nomination to-
morrow ON the first ballot, but it is alleged
that should the Hardin men fail to win on
the first ballot they are beaten. In any
case the aspect tonight, looked at from an
impartial standpoint, is not bright for the
silver men.
Senator j. c. S. Blackburn, whose politi-
cal career will, for while at least, be in
| terrupted, should free silver fall in the
coming battle, is here and is working like
beaver for the pale metal. His most
formidable opponent, James B. McCreary,
who stands committed for gold, as Black
burn does for silver, is straining every
nerve to have gold plank in the plat
form. There are other candidates for the
place OH gold platform, but Mr. Nc
Creary is far in the lead OF all of them.
AS between Clay and Hardin for the nomi-
nation for Governor, it looks at late hour
tonight as if the Clay men had slightly
the better of the situation.

WILL MARRY AGAIN.
The Champion, 1t Is Said, VIA Wed
Vera StansUood.


CHICAGO, ILL, June 24-It is reported
here that James J. Corbett is going to
allow his wife to get her divorce, fol-
which she applied in New York
to-day, that he may be free to
enter another matrimonial venture. The
woman whom it is said he may marry is
Vera Stanwood, and there is almost a Ger.
tainty that she is the one who will figure
as correspondent in the coming divorce
proceedings. Miss Stauwood is a tall
blonde with exceedingly pretty features
and complexion. She is refined and on
the surface impresses one favorably, but
her morals are weak.
She was born and reared in Denver
where she now has living mother and a
very beautiful sister, standing well
in the community, but her family
name cannot be learned. Vera mar
ried early a well to : do merchant
who is now dead. Extravaganza and
love of dress are said to have been hel
ruin. She met Corbett shortly after
coming to Chicago, three years ago
and the champion spent money on
her like water. Among the presents
he is known to have given her are
a diamond ring, a diamond hairpin
and very handsome gold watch. The
pair took many trips to different parts Of
the country and the last heard of them
was when they were in New York.
1t was said tonight at the house where
Vera formerly lived that there was
no doubt but that the Corbett-Stan
wood case was one of mutual attrac
ton, and that Corbett is completely in the
womau's power. Corbett has made re
peated promises to marry the woman in
the presence of other girls in the house
and they helieye that lie Is sincera

LANCASTER, Pa, June pa peculiar
and shocking accident occurred to-day at
the large tannery of Groesinger's Son
when George Schoenberger's head was
literally crushed to a jelly before the eyes
of several Mortified fellow-workmen.
Schoenberger is a boiIer-maker and, with
other employees of Best's Boiler Works,
was engaged in placing the huge new
seventeen boiler in place in the tannery.
The immense cylinder rested on blocks
over the boiler pit, when Schoenberger and
seven other men started to lower it,
He was standing in the pit close to a
brick wall. The men raised the boiler
several inches and one of the blocks was
pulled out. Schoenberger attempted to
escape by dropping to the bottom of the
pit, where he would have been protected
by the blocks, but the boiler rolled toward
him when it fell and his head was caught
between it and the brick wall. His head
was shapeless mass

The Strange Discovery Made by Pen
svtpa9ti0 Farmer


SMITHTON, Pa, June 24.-While Silas
Jones, farmer living near this place, was
digging q trench in the side of hill Satur-
day he struck an abandoned well and de-
tected the fumes of whisky. Digging
through the walled sides he discovered
liquor trickling through the rocks. Tast-
ing it he found it to be superior whisky.
When he recovered from his surprise
Jones procured barrel to catch the drip
pings and suspended operations To-day
he will try and discover the source of the
whisky spring. There are several distiI-
leries in Westmoreland County.
Some people think the whisky comes
from barrels buried in the hillside many
years ago, when distillery is said to have
stood near where Jones discovered the
spring.
Other people think that General Brad
dock, while on his march to Pittsburg
hid the whisky as he passed near this
place, and being killed in an engagement
with the Indians, the secret died wi tn
him. One reason for this belief is the
finding OF cannon ball that was turned
up by Farmer Jones pick. This discovery
caused great excitement over Westmore-
land County. Many people came to Smith
ton TO inquire about the spring and sample
its yield.

his acceptance will be delayed pending ne
