Bond Syndicate Members
Breaking Their Agree
ment.

New YORK. Aug. 13.-Tbe govern
meDt bond syndicate to-day added
81, ,346,O 600 to the gold reserve in the
United States Treasury. The deposit
was made at the Sub-Treasury 10 New
York. 1t was mainly 10 checks issued
by the assay Office for gold bullion de-
livered to that institution Some coin
vas furnished. The assay Office checks
we're purchased by the syndicate from
bullion dealers. The syndicate is to
supply more gold. Arbuckle Bros.

drew $3.50, 600 in gold to-day for ship
9ent to Europe The Withdrawal. it
was stated, was made only after meet
ing of the members Of the bond sypdi-
cate .his faternoon.
AS the story runs, the syndicate, after
a close investigation, discovered that
all the members were DOT adheriog to
their original contract in regard to the
gold shipme tents; that two we'll known
firms. instead of appearing IN the mat
ter themselves, used the house which
has recently done the bulk of the saip-
ping of the yellow metal 1t has been
said for some little time that Crossman
& Bro we're not forwarding gold 10
such large quantities to meet payments
on the Grm's accounts, but that its bills
were sold against the gold for the
profits accruing directly from such op-
eratiops. Arbuckle Bros. are recog-
Dized as competitors Of Crossmau i
Bro. aud shared in the bond syndicate
profits, whereas Crossman l. Bro. we're
not in that deal. While the syndicate
members would speak only in whispers,
it is evident that they have discov-
cred treachery in their camp and have
taken the nitiatory steps to punish the
offenders. When the inside facts are
known, they are liable TO cause consider
able commotion in financial circles.
Having made enormous profits
through their participation in the syn
dicate operations, it was not believed
for moment that any of the foreign
exchange houses would ship gold and
thus hamper the Belmont Morgan 10
terests, which have been striving to
keep the Treasury gold reserve as high
as possible.

are that this Exposition will be fol-
loved by q. tide of population and an
influx of capital without parallel in the

The Seige Of Puerto Principe.

New YORK, August 15.-Adsices
from Nuevitas, Cuba, state that the
town of Puerto Principe is besieged by
Gen. Maxine Gomez with an army of
$500 men, we'll armed. one field piece
and 600 speagmen. The investment
had lasted two weeks on August 5 aud
the capitulasicn was expected at any
moment. Spanish troops under Melo
made sorties on July 25, q aud %,
and suffered repulse each day, al
though on July 27 the Spaniards ral-
lied after being driven under cover of
the wooden forts outside of the city,
and made charge upon the insurgents.
This final effort OF the Spanish forces
vas made with great vigor, and the
insurgents were forced to retreat to tine
woods. Mello failed to follow up the
advantage gained. :. cause he feared
that the retreat of the insurgents was
made for the purpose Of drawing him
way from the shelteriog cover Of hia

Not Now, But Hereafter.

JACKSON, Miss, August l5.-The
following has been received BY tele-
phone from Brandon:
By agreement of counsel, Marshall,
Fox and Coleman came into Court this
morning, pleaded guilty to the charge
Of numbering Dinkins and were sen.
teuced to the penitentiary for life. The
case was submitted to an agreed jury,
which returned the verdict as above
stated.
When asked by the Court if they
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon them,
Marshall said that they did not come
to Brandon to kill Dinkins. but. to re-
ceive retraction. and that the killing
was caused by Dinkiu's action. At the
time Marshall approached him be made
demonstration aud the shooting COM
meuced. Fox and Coleman bad moth
ing to say. Th~ prisoners then stood
up and we're sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life by Judge Mayors. The
scene was most pathetic and great emo
ton was shown by the friends Of the
prisoners. They were at once taken
back to Jail The verdict is regarded
as triumph of law over violence, and
stamps for all time the killing of Din
kins as one of the foulest murders In
the States history.
This sentence of life Imprisonment
was agreed to simply because the de-
PENDANTS approached the gallows with
it staring them 10 the face. The Din
kins family accepted the proposition on
humane grounds. There is no hope or
chance Of a pardon

Great interest was exhibited in the
case. The case depended mainly upon
the fact whether or not the deceased

to prove conclusively that the ball in
the head Of the deceased was Of diff
ferent size than the other three balls

Judge ruled out such testimony. His

Solicitor Nelson was treated with suct

fought hard BY the learned counsel as

arguments of J. W. Devore and J. W

able and forceful. Col. James Tillmar

The case consumed three days, the

Thomas Hovenden. the Artist,
Killed by a Train.

NoRR1srowS. Pa. Aug. IA
Thomas Hovenden, the famous artist.
was instantly killed by railroad
train near here this evening Mr..
Hovenden met with a hero's death,
for it was in attempting to save the
life of little girl that he lost his
own. The sacrifice Of MIR. Hoven-
denis life was useless, because the
child that he attempted to save also
met her death beneath the wheels of
the engine that ground out the life of
the artist. The accident occurred at
a grade crossing on what is known
as the Trenton Cut Off of the Pennsyl-
vacia Railroad The Chestnut Hill
Trolley Company's tracks run up to
the tracks of the railroad company at
the point where the accident oc-
Cured, but do not cross them The
passengers of the trolley company
are compelled to leave the car at the
railroad tracks and cross the latter on
foot to take the trolley on the oppo-
site side.
Mr.. Hovenden has summer resi-
dence in Plymouth township, this
county, and he was returning home
there this evening on a trolley car.
When the car reached it's stopping
point on the far side of the railroad
tracks. tue passengers alighted as
usual and prepared to cross to the
trolley car on the other side. Besides
Mr.. Hovenden, among the passen-
gers on the car were Mrs. Clara Pelf
and her ten-year old daughter, Bessie.
A fast freight train was approaching
the crossing as the passengers from
the trolley car 'aIighted. The little
girl did not notice the on-coming
train and she ran ahead of her mother
to cross the tracks The train bore
rapidly down and the engineer blew
his whistle when he saw the little
figure standing between the rails
The child seemed to become confused
and awaited her coming death with
out attempting to avoid it. Mr.. Ho-
venden rushed forward and snatched
the child up in his arms Before he
could make the leap that would have
saved them both, the pilot Of the en-
CINE struck him and hurled him
across the track with terrible force.
The engineer stopped the train and
he and his fireman ran to where Mr.
Hovenden and the little girl were
lying side by side. The man was
dead and the child died as she was
raised from the ground.
Thomas Hovenden was cne of the
leading artists that America has pro-
duced He was still in the compare
tive prime of his intellectual vigor
and artistic skill, being SO years Of
age. Els best known painting,
Breaking Home Ties,' has been
engraved probably more than the
work of any other American artist,
and is familiar object on the walls Of
thousands Of homes in the United
States. The painting was one Of the
most notable of the American groups
at the Worlds Fair Mr.. Hovenden
leaves a wife, but no children.
