SUSPICIOUS CRAFT.
Purchase and Peculiar Actions of
Purchasers of Craft for South
American Trade, at
PHILADELPHIA

Phlladelphla
New YORK, April S.-The World
this morning says: "a small
steamer lies in the ship yard OF
HilIman Bros. at Philadelphia,
which is said to have caused the
Spanish minister at Washington
more hours of uneasiness than
even his diplomatic trouble, about
the Alliance affair. The craft is
named the BridgetOn. Towards
the latter part OF February a ship
broker in New York, whose name
has not been disclosed, made a bid
for the boat and a few days later
paid $500 as guarantee. He gave
out that some American wanted
the boat to use in Curacao and that
if satisfactory he would take her
as she stood. Information was adj
vanCed that the party was j. NJ.
Garcia, OF New York, and that the
boat was to be used in carrying eX-
cursionists to South or Central
American gold fields. After dicker-
ing for few days tho ship broker
wired Capt. Denny that his party
would be on to Philadelphia
to make a trial trip. March
4th, the day set for the
trip, Capt Denny received a
telegram that it was all right.
The following day Garcia and his
party turned up. J. NJ. Garcia and
E. Raguett registered at the Bling
ham house. They boarded the
Bridgeton at the Hillman yards
and started down the river. The

GROVER WAS SOBER.
AN EMPHATIC DENIAL GIVEN TO
REV. LANSING'S CHARGE OF
DRUNKENNESS.
Chauncey Dapew Says That he Was
Present at the Time Mentioned
and That the President Was
Perfectly Sober.

NEW YORK, April S.-The World
today says: "Indignation is in
tense among the Democrats Of New
York and other cities over the at
tack made on President Cleveland
by the Rev. |. J. Lansing of Boston
charging the President with drunk
enness at a public dinner in New
York. Many of the leading Demo-
Gratis and Republicans who attend
ed the three dinners at which Mr..
Cleveland was present, yesterday
denounced the story as lie, and
some expressed their opinion Of
the American citizen who, without
the shadow of proof, on a simple
hearsay statement, would malign
the character of the President of
the United States.
The three dinners referred to
were those OF the Chamber of Com
merce given at Delmonico's on Nov.
Is, 1898; a dinner at the home Of
Henry Vallard two days later, and
that given by the Reform club Dec.
l, 1892.
Chauncey M. Depew said: "There
is only one reply that can be made
to such stOry-it is absolutely
contemplate and also untrue. At
the Chamber Of Commerce dinner
l sat near Mr.. Cleveland, l saw
him from the time that he came
until he went away and he was alb.
solutely sober and in full COM
mand Of his faculties. He con-
Quoted himself in way that the
world at large would expect from
the President of the United States"
Frederick r. Coudert, who was one
of the leading men in the club din
ner of 1892, had this to say on the
subject: "The suggestion or the as
sertion that President Cleveland
was drunk is too contemplate for
notice. l was present at the Re.
form club dinner Of that year. l
sat next or almost next to the
President, and saw him from first
to last. He conducted himself as
gentleman and in a manner befit-
ting his office. To say that he was
worse for drink is to utter false
hood. 1t seems almost incredible
to me that any man, Republican
or Democrat, claiming TO be an
American should so readily cast
acter of the President. A possible
explanation of this story is that
DR.. Lansing's informant was him.
self drunk, and saw all the guests
as himself"
Emery Anderson said: 81 was
one OF the guests at the dinner CIV
en- by Mr.. Willard in honor of Pres.
ident Cleveland. Incidentally, too,
/ presided at the Reform club din
ner. On both these occasions, as on
every other at which | have met
President Cleveland during an ac-
quaintance OF years, he conducted
himself in a way, if possible, to in
crease the respect OF his fellow
men. We always feltprOud Of our
President. He was always gem
tleman."
The Rev. w. H. Wibbcrt, Of Trim
ity chapel, said: "Hhe story is
ridiculous and worse, untrue. DR..
Lansing has been misinformed. l
was present at the Chomber Of
Commerce dinner, sat next to Pres
ident Cleveland, talked to him,
heard his admirable address and
can say that he was in the fullest
command Of himself from first to
last. How on earth such a story
could be circulated is puzzle and
almost too absurd for denial"

Live Panther on a Limb
and Comes to Grief.
PALM BEACH, Fla, April Sc.
B. Corey, Professor of Natural
History in the Field Columbian
Museum OF Chicago, is having a
lively experience in the everglades
of Florida. Prof. Corey has been
in Florida seeking specimens for
the museum for week; his assist
ants have been on the track of two
large panthers south of this place.
The female WAS secured but only
after a combat in which Prof.
Corey was severely scratched and
had two OF his dogs killed. The
dogs freed the panthers, but when
freed Corey would not let the
hunters shoot, as he was anxious
to photograph the animal while it
lay crOuched in the limb OF a
large live oak. They warned
the professor that it was a danger
Gus proceeding, but he persisted
and began to arrange the camera.
just as he was ready to take the
photograph the panther sprang.
smashed the Camera and knocked
down the professor, whom the
beast began to claw. Two fine
dogs attacked the panther but they
were killed. Fortunately an old
hunter was near and he shot the
animal through the heart. Part of
Corey's face was badly scratched
and his right arm and shoulder
was badly hurt, but for the quick
ness Of the old hunter the professor
would have been killed. Professor
Corey and his assistants are still in
pursuit Of the male panther. 1t is
a monster.

A BOLD YOUNG ROBBER.
He Enters Mans Store at Night, Asks
to. See a Watch and Then Runs
Away With 1t.

A very bold robbery of its kind was COM
mitted at late hour last night by young
man just out of his teens. He gave the
name OF George Pullman when he was
locked up at the California-street station,
and said he was a clerk.
He entered Abraham Cohen's store at
1902 Stockton street and asked to see
watch. Cohen showed him silver watch,
but that not suiting one of gold was pro-
duced.
Pullman examined this one for
moment and then dashed out the door
with it, being pursued by the aged pro-
prietor, whose cries attracted the attention
of Policeman Tracey of Sergeant Shea's
Chinatown squad. A chase was given him
and he was caught in Cum Cook alley and
walked off to the station.
When he was searched there was found
on his person brick with Chinese mat
wrapped around it-a sort of improvised
weapon with which, it is supposed, Putt
man intended to give Cohen blow on the
head if he made any resistance or other
trouble. He was booked for robbery.

REGULATING THE TRAINS,
One Ogden Overland Less
After November | Causes
Sharp Comment.
An Omaha Critic Talks About STAR
walton Policy-A Chat With a
Railroad Official.

After November next there will be only
one overland train daily each way between
here and Ogden.
This decision was reached recently by
the Southern Pacific managers in this City
after an extended correspondence with its
railway connections at Ogden. The Union
Pacific managers have objected to this pro-
posed cutting down of the service, and
during the past two months there has been
correspondence on the subject.
Eastern critics of the Southern Pacific
have claimed that what they call the
Huntington Syndicate is starving the
Union Pacific to death by cutting down
the service on the Central Pacific. They
characterize the taking off of one train per
dav a part of the scheme and call upon
Congress to require that the Central Pa
cific and Union Pacific be operated as one
continuous road in order that the interests
of the latter may be protected.
When General Passenger Agent Good
man OF the Southern Pacific read this
Yesterday he smiled YEARLY.
1--WE are keeping up our Central Pacific
business simply to keep pace with the de-
mands of travel,' said he. "My under
standing is that one of the trains between
here and Ogden-the morning second-class
train--is to be taken off, but no orders
have yet been given and they will of
course be given by the operating depart
ment.
"This talk about hampering the Union
Pacific sounds odd when it is rem EN- bered
that two years ago, and again last year as
the winter season approached, the Union
Pacific opened up correspondence and
asked that one of the through trains be
taken Off At that time our people would
not agree to do so, and now when we pro-
pose to do as they suggested originally the
plan is objected to.
"All the northern roads are now running
only one through train daily. We are rum
ming only one on the Sunset route, and the
present signs are that we can handle
all the Central Pacific business with one
train. We will run both second and first
class coaches on our evening train, taking
off the Z A. NJ, train. People prefer always
to see the Sierras by daylight, and for the
glory of the State l should much prefer
keeping on the two trains that leave here
at Z A. NJ. and Ogden at 2:25 P. NJ. But the
mails have to be accommodated, and for
this reason we will in all probability keep
up the trains that leave here at P. NJ. and
Ogden at A. NJ.
Fits true, too, that travellers like an
evening train better. For this reason,
largely, we are going to change the time
of the through New Orleans train. After
October it will leave here at $50 P. M, in
stead Of 8 A. NJ. as at present, and the local
train, to Los Angeles only, will leave in the
morning. The whole matter is that dur
ing the winter season, when travel over the
Central Pacific is light and there is more
or less delay possible by reason of storms,
we will run only one train. 1t will be a
through train as now, sleepers going
through to Chicago"

THE LABOR BUREAU.

The State Printer Will Furnish All
Printed Matter Required.
The subject of printed matter for the
State Labor Bureau has at last been set
tied. A month or so ago the State Printer,
in letter to the Labor Commissioner, in
timated that the latter had already drawn
upon the printing office for too much mat
ter, and that he had better not put in
orders for much more. This would have
to great extent crippled the usefulness of
the bureau and letter to this effect was
sent to the State Printer. Yesterday the
latter answered that he had no disposition
to eramp the bureau in printed matter.
The Commissioner demand had been
much larger than that of his predecessors.
The State Printer is willing to print all
reports, but advertising matter cannot be
handled in the State office.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT,
Death of a Seaman on Board
the British Iron Ship
LaOmene.
Captain and Mrs. WoodsIde and the
Officers of the BaWnmore
Have Arrived.

The British ship Tasmania came in yes
terday, fifty-nine days from Hongkong.
She showed clean bill of health and was
permitted to anchor in the harbor.
The British ship Laomene arrived yes
terday, les days from Liverpool. On July
10, while working through furious north
west gale off Cape Horn, she was boarded
by heavy sea, which played havoc around
the decks. A seaman named Joseph Perry
was knocked down, dashed against the
spare spars and killed. He was a native
of Wales, aged 60 years.
The steamer Arcata, which arrived YES
terday from the north, brought down Cap.
tain and Mrs. Woodsi6e, First Officer
Campbell, Engineers Semple and Nc
Cutchen and Steward Moody of the
wrecked steamer Bawnmore. Captain
Woodslde reports that the iron hull is still
hard and fast in the sand, and will remain
there in all probability till doomsday.
Among the unfortunate passengers were
E. E. Edmonson and wife, who were bound
for South America. They are poor people,
and as they lost everything in the wreck,
they feel the disaster keenly.
There are nine customs officers quaran-
tined on board the City OF Rio Janeiro who
are watching that nothing gets in or out of
the vessel.
A dispatch yesterday from Port Allegro
says that the British bark Glendune,
bound from Hamburg to Port Los Angeles,
is ashore on the South American coast in
81 deg. south latitude. She is broadside on
in sixteen feet of water.
The Harbor Commissioners recently sent
out letter of inquiry to all heads of de-
partments asking as to the number of en-
ployes, and Judgment as to the advisa bility
of reducing the number. This inquiry
went to the superintendent of repairs, of
tugs and dredgers, of painting, the chief
wharfinger and the chief engineer.
In the responses thus far received the
keynote of economy seems to receive no
echo. Superintendent Mayo of the paint
ing department says that owing TO the ap-
preaching rains and the need of painting
skylghts and roofs he needs all the four
men he has. Superintendent Haste of the
tugs and dredgers says that SO far from
doing with fewer than twenty-nine men,
he really needs more, and asks for three
more men, at least, for the fire tug. Su-
perintendent Patterson admits that he can
get along with less than thirty-eight men,
and suggests that the heads of five be
taken off,
The mails that came by the Rio will be
landed this morning, having been thor
oughiy fumigated.
The British ship Miltiades arrived yes
terday from Newcastle, n. S. W., with a
cargo of 1860 tons of coal.

THE FIRST WIFE'S CLAIM.
Mrs. Henrietta Heyd enfe1dt Demands
Community Share of Her Hus-
bands Estate.

The legal troubles of the Heydenfeldt
family were resumed yesterday, Mrs. Hen
rietta Haydenfeldt filing a complaint in
which she claims community interest in
the property that was decided away by
Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt before his
death.
Mrs. Heydenfeldt declares in this COM
plant that she married the Judge in 1853.
Two children that were born died in in
fancy. Soon after that Judge Heydenfeldt
formed irregular habits of life. His wife,
the plaintiff, left him, but s. declares
that no divorce was ever obtained, and that
the two alleged wives of later years have
no title under the law.
In 1864, continues the complaint, Cathe-
rine Collins took the name of Mrs. Hey
denfeldt and was known as the Judges
wife, and in 1874 the Judge transferred his

vice-PresidentS Stubs Has an Adventure
on the Union Pacific System.
Third Vice-President j. C. Stubs of the
Southern Pacific had quite an adventure at
Granger, on the Union Pacific, few days
ago. He was on the way East with his
wife and family. At Granger he aIighted
to speak to some friends on the Oregon
Short Line train. While doing so his
train moved off. Stubs shouted and ran
in pursuit, but the trainhands, all uncon-
scious of the dignitary they were leaving
behind, made no effort to stop the train
After sharp chase Mr.. Stubs caught
hold of the rear rail of the last platform,
but the train was going too fast and he
could not hold on. He fell and was we'll
scratched and shaken up. He returned to
Granger, wired the eastbound train at the
next station, and then securing a special
engine, went after the lost train and
caught it, 1t is understood that his tenn
per was more disturbed by reason of the
incident than any other part of his an

and caused a lot of amusement among

ST. LUKE'S MEDICAL MISSION.
Plans to Make 1t More Prosperous and
Beneficial for the Needy,

PIanS TO MAKE III more prosperous ana
Beneficial for the Needy,
The promoters of st. Luke's Medical
Mission met in the basement of the First
Baptist Church last evening to discuss
plans to make the institution more pros
porous and beneficial.
1t was suggested that the lady directors
of the hospital be appointed by the govern
ing bodies of the churches which they
represent, in order to give them more
authority to carry on their work of gather
ing subscriptions. This was about the only
business of the meeting.
The medical mission has been established
for about three months. It's plan is to
offer to the sick poor the benefits of re-
liable medical service without charge, and
to make this work the NJ dium of personal
evangelization. The officers are: Mrs. H.
A. Keller, president; Miss Aaron Stein,
treasurer, and Mrs. c. E. Rice, secretary.
The physicians upon the staff SO far are :
Drs. Albert Wheeler, Hayes, G. French, p
Brett, Morgan and Mrs. DIR. G. L. Guild.
The headquarters are at 400 Mason street
