New YORK, May 25.-The Le-
high Valley railroad has positively
refused to submit to the agreement
regarding west bound freight rates
as proposed by the Trunk Line as
ISOLATION and as a result trouble is
on. All of the railroad officials
who have voice in the trunk line
matters, admit that the Lehigh
Valley railroad has bolted. Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, president Of the
New York Central, talked freely Of
it.

eyed six-year-old daughter Of John
Shannon, Of this city, went upon

panions. Three boys playing near

merged. The boys at once raised
an cutlery and with assistance the
body, which was that Of the little
Shannon girl, was dragged ashore.
There was gaping wound in the

to an undertaker's and the coroner
ordered an examination. Physi-
clans found the poor little creature
horribly outraged. The body pre-
sented frightful appearance. An

Independent Formosa.

WASHINGTON, May 25.--The state
department has received a cable
from DENLY, United States minis
ter to China, stating that the Island
OF Formosa has declared her indie
pendence, that the powers have
been so notified and that the gov
ernme mt, Republican in form, has
been established in Formosa. This
adds new complications to the sit
uation in the east. Before this
government can recognize Formo-
sa's independence, it must be shown
that a provisional governm emit,
which can stand, has been organ
lied. There are great numbers OF
Japanese in Formosa and 1t re-
mains to be seen what course they
will adopt.

His Wife a Prisoner.

NEW YORK, May pa special
to the Herald from Bay Shore, L..
l., says: Intense excitement pre-
walls here over the discovery that
on Fire Island beach, only ten
miles across the great south bay
from half a dozen populous towns,
an unfortunate woman has for
months been held a prisoner. Her
Tailor proves to have been her hus-
band, George Lake, who for two
years has occupied rootless,
tumble down soap factory among
the sand dunes Of Fire Island, mid
way between the old surf house
and the Chautauqua association
grounds. Lake was known to live
on the gloomy little island with a
young wife and an infant daugh-
ter, but few had ever caught a
glimpse of the woman. No sus-
picion of her actual condition was
entertained until several days ago
when she crept out from behind a
sand hill on the south shore OF the
island and beckoned to one Of the
life saying crew lOunging in front
of the station.
She thrust a letter into the mans
had and begged him to forward it
at once to her brother.
"He is Benedict" she cried, "and
he lives at No. 5 Charles street,
New York City.
"For Gods sake" said the letter
"bring help to me before it is too
late. Do not come alone. You
would be powerless. Bring an Of
ficer and work quietly" Armed
with the necessary legal papers
wells hurried to the rescue. After
a fierce fight between the officers
who accompanied him and Lake,
the woman was rescued and the
man arrested.
Before being taken from jail the
boys protested their innocence, al
though they were identified by
Miss Barnett's companion. Miss
Barnett, the victim Of the assault,
hovers between life and death.

Will England InterfereP

ST.. JOHNS, N. F., May 25.-It is
practically conceded that Colonial
Secretary Bond is likely to arrange
a loan from the United States. Pre-
mier Whiteway's announcement
in parliament leaves little room for
doubt. The only risk now is that
England will interfere and block
the whole negotiations. The man
ayers and directors Of the CONNER
cial bank of New England, which
collapsed in December last, have
been committed to trial to the Su-
preme court. There is an agita-
ton now for the prosecution Of the
directors of the Union bank, sis
ter institution, which is also in
solvent.

YACHT CAPSIZED.
Several Men Supposed to Have
Been Drowned

BUFFALO, May ga yacht
bearing the name OF Trilby cap
sized in the Hamburg canal this
morning, and two or three men are
thought to be drowned. The acct
dent occurred at the Michigan
street bridge, which is being re-
paired. The yacht was used as a
ferry boat, to carry the workmen
across the canal, and today there
was large crowd of Polish labor
ers, on their way to work. They
clambered aboard like a flock of
sheep. The Trilby took three loads
safely across, but when she re-
turned, the Poles made a rush for
her, and all budding together on
one side, caused the vessel to cap
size and 60 to the bottom. For
several minutes the water was
alive with half-crazy, terrorized
human beings, few Of whom could
swim, but all struggling and
clutching at each other, or any
thing within reach. Many climbed
out on deck, but were not seen
again. The canal is being dragged.

Baldwin is Blabbing,

CINCINNATI, May 25.-Lucky
Baldwin, Of California, is at the
Grand. He speake right out about
gamblers owning race tracks and
shaping races to suit the purposes
of gamblers. He says that they
make short scrambles, whereas no
horse over two years old should
run a less distance than a mile.
This sort of business prevails in
San Francisco, in Louisville, in
Chicago and at Latonia, all of
which places gamblers dominate.
He predicts that the state legisla-
lures will wipe out book making
and that very soon. He considers
Halms and Rey del Carades the
great three year olds Of this year
and intends to see that his Del
Carades shall try conclusions with
Halma next June.

So far as could be learned yesterday william R.

plete negotiations for the purchase OF any metro

ever but that he will gain control OF The Morning

any one connected with The Journal will admit

Reports have been in circulation for some time
concerning O transfer OF ownership OF several New
York daily papers. The Recorder" the Times,
The Morning Advertiser" and THE Journal are
the papers that have been most prominently named
in connection with Mr.. Hearsts negotiations.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Hearst spent a large
part of the day in negotiation with the manage
ment OF The Journal" but what the conference
amounted TO no one would say. 1t was generally
understood however that Mr.. Hearst had agreed
10 take The Journal" and that he would assume
control some details could be arranged.
II vas further said that he would not make any
public announcement until he had concluded an
arrangements. John r. Mclean who purchased the
paper some months ago. has been seriously IA OF
