NEW YORK, Sept. 7.--Chief W. P.
Hazen, of the United States secret
service, together with his detectives,
succeeded today in recapturing DR..
Orlando E. Bradford, of the Brecl1way
gang who escaped from his office on
August 4 while under arrest. charged
with counterfeiting. Incidental to the
capture. three other important arrests
were made and some valuable evidence
seized.
Bradford was arrested at noon by A.
G. Esquirell, assisted by Agents G. r.
Bagg, S. Bagg, Byrnes and Flynn at
1O1 East One hundred and fifth street,
where he had hired a furnished room.
In a search of the room EsquireH found
5000 in good money and new counterfeit
plates between the lower drawer and
therbottom of the bureau. The plates
were of copper and were made to imi-
tate the S10G United States notes,
series 1880, with the Lincoln vigneidte.
Both front and back plates were found,
the back plates being complete while
the front plate was all ready for use
with the exception of having the index
number engraved. Chief Hazen gays
the plates are remarkably good, and
the counterfeit would have been very
dangerous. Also concealed in a basket
in a room We're found a quantity of
paper, inks. rollers and other things
used for counterfeiting.
The other arrests were John Nixon.

he knew Bradford when the latter was
serving a sentence for malpractice, also
John L. Courtney, who has served time
for forgery, and Carl Bentley. a den
fist.
Chief Hazena said Bradford would
not be tried Oh the warrant on which
he was arrested. That warrant was
for alleged connection with the Brock
way gang in Hudson county, New
Jersey. but the finding of the new
plates in his possession will lead to
new charges being drawn here. Said
the chief: L have to admire the nerve
of the man who never went out of
town and embarked on a new deal,
knowing the detectives must be strain
ing every nerve to catch him.

ARSON CONSPIRACY.
One OF the Greatest CHAT Ever Elk
listed in America or Canada.

One OF the Greatest CHAT Ever Ex-
listed in America or Canada.
CHICAGO, Sept. IA special to the
Chronicle from Montreal says: The
greatest arson conspiracy that has
ever been concocted in America was
unearthed here today. Warrants are
out for ten of the most prominent
merchants in the city, and three of
them have already been arrested. The
thing started with the arrest Of three
men, Jenkins, Moore and Chores.
About five weeks age these men were
arrested for setting fire to the whole
sale stationery store of Boyd, Gilie &
Co. Boyd, the senior member, sud
denly left for Europe, and when ClOres,
after his arrest, turned queens evil
dence, it was found that Boyd was
connected with the matter, approved
of it and procured part of the receipts
which the insurance adjusters award
ed as damages.
The evidence showed that there was
widespread conspiracy, which has
ramifications in the states and all
through OaldQd. IL WAS IOQIlQ JLcL
the conspirators were in the habit of
setting fire to the places by means of
a clock-work arrangement. This was
made of an alarm clock with the bell
taken off On the top was thin glass
bowl of sulphuric acid, and below it a
bowl containing methlylated spirits.
When the hour came for the clock to
strike the alarm, the hammer broke
the glass bowl and the sulphuric acid
was precipitated- into the spirits, the
combination burst into flames.
Mr.. j. f. Quinn, crown prosecutor,
went to New York to inquire into the
United States end of the conspiracy.
Ten warrants were sworn out. These
were for William Thomas, John Beiser,
Castle, Sasseille, Richard Dagenas, Da-
Wis, all furriers, and Beliaus & LOew-
enthal, wholesale clothiers. A small
army of detectives were sent out, but
up to this time only three were ar
rested.
The total amount of the populations
is said to be about 100000 The ar
rests have created a sensation.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. IA
special to the Tribune from Chamber
lain, S. D., says:
The Sioux of the Rosebud agency I'M
der the leadership of Hollow Horn
Bear, powerful and influential chief,
have warned Indian Agent Wright and
the employees to vacate the agency
within twenty-one days, and threaten
to burn the agency building. Deter
mination on the part of the Indian
agency to reduce rate paid the Indians
for hauling freight from Valentine,
Neb., to the agency, is the cause Of the
trouble. Although a trivial matter in
the eyes of the white people, the In
dams took mortal offense and run
ners sent to distant camps brought
into the agency about $4,000 angry and
excited Indians. The agent attempted
TO appease the wrath of the Indians
finally by cOnsenting to compromise on
the reduction. The Indians were rot
satisfied and further trouble is appre-
hended. Grow Dog, the slayer years
ago of Spotted Tail, has been lodged in
the agency Jail for the part he took in
the present difficulty. Fort Niobrara is
the nearest military post, but the
troops are absent on their regular
summer field vacation. Messages from
Valentine state that settlers adjacent
to the reservation are becoming un-
easy.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE defeat of the
Healyite candidate at the parliament
airy election in the South division of
Kerry yesterday has embittered the
strife inside the Irish home rule party.
Had the Healyites been victorious in
this contest it is stated that Justin
Mccarthy would have resigned the
leadership of The party. Now, how
ever, both sides are. in a temper to
fight to the death. The jubilation of
the McCardhyites over their victory is
tempered by the evident apathy of the
Irish people, as shown by the small
ness of the poll in Kerry. The govern
ment is highly pleased to observe the
weakening of the party which has so
greatly obstructed legislation by inter
mad dissensions. The liberals them

The police at midnight authorized

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE freight Off
Gals of the Western roads are gener-

outlook for business this fall. They are

have great amount of business to
handle and a strong effort will prob
ably be made in the near future to re-

not put themselves in a position where
they were likely to be debarred from

Question is Are They or Are They
Not Private Property:
CHICAGO, Sept. Another chapter
in street railway litigation was begun
today The general street railway
company is fighting the principle that
street car tracks are private property,
and in the furtherance of this conten-
ton have brought a peculiar suit. It
is directed against the John Spry
Lumber company for pay for the use
of the company's rails by the lumber
company's wagons in driving along
Twenty street.
The action is based on the decision
of Judge Tuley, of this city, in which
he held that street car tracks are pri-
vate property. This decision was rem
dered against the Mccain company
in its suit for damages against the
Chicago City Railway company for the
demolition of one of it's cars when it
was drawn on a disputed track.

ONCE AGAIN.
Another Cure Has Been Discovered
For COnsumption.

Fer Consumption.
WASHINGTON, Sept IA new cure
for consumption has been reported at the
state department by United States Con-
sui Chancellor at Havre. He says the
cure was first brought to the attention of
the world at a conference of physicians
and scientists at Bordeaux to consider
the question of combating consumption
by vaccination. Professor Mar:gliO an
Italian, read a paper which attracted
much attention, claiming to have discov-
cred an efficacious process for the treat
ment of consumption by the injection of
tubercular serum, which he says renders
the subjects of the disease immune. The
consul recalls the comparative failures OF
other attempts to treat consumption sue
cessfully, and says this particular process
is still in the experimental stage.
incidentally the consul gives some s-art-
ling figures of the raVageS OF consump-
ton in Paris. He shows that it causes
thrty-eight times more deaths than small
poX and scarlet fever combined.

Sealing the Mine.

1t was judged impossible to quench
the fire by ordinary means and at
o'clock work was commenced on the
demolition of the shafthouse. The
building was practically torn down in
a few hours, and heavy timbers placed
across the mouth, over which dirt was
thrown and closely packed. This work
was difficult, because the great vol
ume of smoke pouring out of the shaft
constantly increased as the flames
licked their way upward from the
point where the fire began.
AS natural ventilation was stopped,
the smoke and hot air forced its way
along the connecting drifts to the three
other shafts in the main mine and soon
began to emerge from the other open
lngs from the great clouds. Owing to
the sealing of the mouth of No. 5
shaft, access to the mine through the
other shafts was cut off, the entire
workings above the twenty-seventh
level being filled with the deadly mix

of fifteen miles to windward and re-

The Start.


Several times they came about ex-
actly together as one boat, but it was
finally observed that the Englishman
would undoubtedly cross the line first.
Captain Half brought the Defender
quickly about, with her rival on the
last tack. and the Englishman crossed
only four seconds ahead, with Defen-
der having the wind, and even this
subsequently showed, in much better
position. The course was fifteen miles
to windward and return and the boats
went off on the starbOard tack. At
this time the sky was laden and the
wind was about five-knot breeze.
The swell increased greatly as the
fleet proceeded outward for although
the pace was slow. the solid phalanx
of moving craft kicked up quite a
sea of itself. There had been haze
in the early hours, and this was en-
tirely dispelled by the occasional sun
