''The Blue Shirts" an Organ
ization to Impede Discipline
and Boom Pay.

A secret political organization is in prog
ress of formation among the firemen of this
city. Chief Denmead has the names of a
number of the organizers. Its plan is sim
liar to that of the police benevolent"
scheme which ''The News" exposed and
knocked out a month ago.
The firemen have chosen NThe Blue
Shirts as name for their alleged benevo-
lent society.
Upon excellent authority it is said that
one of the members of No. engine, on
Mercer street, invited committee of New
York firemen to come to this city to arrange
the formation of the organization. The New
York firemen refused. They said ''squea[
ers'' in the ranks of the police had caused no
end of trouble for the New York coppers.
Overtures were next made to the members
of fire departments in other parts of this
State The Newark firemen came out fat
footed, and refused to have anything to do
with the scheme.
The firemens ORDER like the one the police
tried to organize, is not open to officers.
Like the police scheme, it seeks to curtail the
powers of the Commissioners in Furnishing
offenders, and also to secure such legislation
as will bring about an increase of salaries.
The Fire Commissioners .'are on" to the
scheme, and it is not improbable that few
firemen will be put on the rack. A member
of Engine Company No. 13 is said to be presi-
dent of the order.

Prnhahlx Ahouf Kiohl.

John Mealy, of West Hoboken young
man with brilliant carmine hair, was
tried ip the Sessions Court yesterday
afternoon for assaulting John Casper
Hengetten on October IS at Homestead.
Mealy said he assaulted Hengetten be-
cause he and a gang of young men who
hung out around there, insulted his sis
ter.
Miss Annie Mealy. whose hair is a
bright burnt sienna hue, testified that
she had to pass the place every night
on her way home from work. She was
frequently insulted. On the night of the
assault Hengetten tried to strike her
and caught her by her auburn locks.
The whole crowd surrounded her and her
brother rushed in with a stick and hit
her assailant.
Hengetten and about a dozen young
men who were called by the State, all
denied that the girl had been molested
and swore that Mealy attacked Hengetten
without cause. The jury convicted him.
and Senator DAILY, who defended him,
paid his respects to the jury in forcible
manner

who may be insulted some day by such

was received there yesterday that
tion owner of the State of Puebla, had
been kidnapped by Mexico's most noted
Bandit, Gonalo Natava, assisted by two
other outlaws.
The bandits went to the plantation
of Mora, at Santa Fe, caught the ranch
er unawares and compelled him to ac-
company them to the woows at the muz-
zle of revolvers. Here they forced Mora
to sign a ransom paper in the sum OF
50 600, which he directed his wife to pay
on presentation
The bandit leaders companions were
dispatched with the docment to Mora $
house, leaving the rancher and Estava
alone together. AT an opportune mo-
ment Mora drew his pistol and shot his
captor in the face, infiictlng a palnLul

vANeoUvER's MURDER HORROR

VANCOUVER, S. c., Nov. IA, 1S95.-At
the Wenton murder trial yesterday the
two daughters of the accused gave theiI
evidence, the chief points of their testi-
mony being that they had noticed blood
stains on the floor of the house on the
day of the alleged murder, which their
mother had washed off.
One of the girls also stated that she
had heard groans from the bedroom
from which she was ordered away by
her father. The case for the Crown was
closed in the afternoon and the defense
commenced. Lawyer Bowser. for the de-
fendant, Smith, stated that he would
prove an alibi, and would also show that
the charge against the accused was a
conspiracy to get Smith out of the way,
arranged by his wife.
The chief witness for the defence was
a logger named Rodd, who swore that
he was in Smiths company nearly the
whole day of the alleged murder His
testimony at the present trial differed
somewhat from that which he gave at
the preliminary examination, and upon
cross-examinationh his evidence was some
what shaken. The case was then ad-
iourned until today.

sOHLATTER SKIPS.
The Denver Mahdi Disappears TO
Axaid Annearialxr In Caurf

DENVER, Col, Nov. IA, 1895.-The city
is wild over the latest sensation In the
Schlatter craze. This morning when a
member of the Vox family went to call
him for breakfast, about six o'clock, his
room was found vacant. He had mys-
teriously disappeared some time during
the night, leaving no word behind. Ac-
cording to all of Schlatters past state
ments, he was subject to the order of
''the father and doubtless he was told
last night to arise and go forth.
Mr.. Fox later came before the crowd
of 5000 people that had been assembling
since three A. NJ, anil told them the
startling news. The crowd was astound-
ed, and were disposed at first to dis
believe the story Then they began to
discuss the matter, some being inclined
to blame Mr.. Fox. Today Schlatter was
to appear before the United States Com
missioner as witness against the
blessed handkerchief fakirs. and the
fear of becoming entangled in the court
proceedings is the real reason of the dis
appearance of the man.
It was observed yesterday that he
was growing restless under the increas-
ing excitement and the swelling crowds.
The craze had grown beyond his power
to control, and he feared the denoue-
nlellt.

Amusing Scene Near the Fuller Buii6-

Ing This Morning.
An amusing scene was witnessed this morn
ing just outside the Fuller Building on Hud-
son street. A huge stick of timber, 20 feet
long and about IA inches cube, intended to
strengthen the elevator in the building, lay
on the sidewalk and four men had connected
i with block and tackle arrangement sus-
pended from three uprights fixed on the Full
Ter Building roof, to which the stick had to
be raised.
They harnessed sorry looking jade to the
end of the hoist rope and one of them cried

CUBAN REBELS ADVANCE.

MADRID, Nov. IA, 1895. A despatch
from Cienfuegos, Cuba, tothe Impartial says
it is reported there that Gomez has aban-
doned his position at Cagunca and is leading
an army of 4, 4,000 men upon Hemadies. The
despatch says that Gomez is accompanied IN
his march against Remedies by Maceo at the
head of !, GOO mounted men.
The Correspondencias special despatch
from Havana says that the insurgent gen
eral, Reloff, at the head of band of rebels,
is at Sigunca awaiting the arrival of Gomez.
According to this authority, General Mar
tinez Campos will at once march upon 81
guinea and an encounter is expected. 1t is
asserted that Gomez has changed his tactics
in consequence of the action of the revolu-
tion assembly in New York urging the reb-
els in Cuba to fight decisive battle in order
to influence the United States to recognize
the insurgents as belligerents.
