A Lady Passenger Who Refused to
Give Up Her Money Shot and

GUTHRIE 20. T), Aug. 24.-The

pants ordered to stand and deliver.
Mrs. Amy Childs of Philadelphia re-

escaped from the United States Jail in
this city six weeks ago by saving
through the bars and overpoWering the

The hold-up took place near a elump
CT woods and near ravine where the
robbers had hid themselves. One
grabbed the horses, another covered
the driver, while the other two walked
RAPIDLY to the stage and jerked open
the door and demanded from the pass
ergers their cash. The three men, Ber-
ry. Richards and Stein or Stern, COM

claimed: You are dirty towards, and
you'll have to kill me TO get my

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
viii fleet To-day to Nominate State
Ticket

SARATOGA On. ", Aug. 24.-Sara-
toga assumed the appearance of q con-
vention town with a rush to-day. The
preliminaries of the convention are set
tied. The State Committee met to-
night and agreed upon Congressman
Frank Black of Troy for Temporary
Chairman.
The convention will be called to or
der at noon tomorrow by Chairman B.
F. Odell of the Executive Committee.
Senator John Raines of Canandiagua is
to be the Chairman of the Committee
on Credentials, which will consider the
contests. 1t will be remembered in what
personal language he addressed War
ner Miller at the meeting of the New
York State delegation at st. Louis when
Mr. Platt was chosen Chairman of the
delegation as against Mr.. Miller.
The Herkimer County contest is ex-
rected to present a most interesting sit
uation. Titus Sheard claims to have a
large number of affidavits from dele
gates. The Sheard delegates will no
doubt be seated
Senator Raines, as Chairman of the
Committee on Credentials, will be the
one to uphold the report of the commit
tee should 1t be attacked. Congress-
man Lemeul z. Quigg of New York is
to be Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions. William Barnes. Jr., of
Albany will be Chairman of the Com
mittee on Permanent Organization, and
John Steven Ford will be Permanent
Chairman of the convention.
1t was supposed that the convention
would finish it's work by tomorrow, but
Mr.. Platt said tonight that its session
would undoubtedly oe extended over
until Wednesday.
The friends of the various candidates
are hustling about the respective head
quarters. Thomas G. Platt, as the like
~ Republican candidate for Governor,
was discussed with renewed enthusi-
asm. He has not. however changed his
determination to decline to run.

We're, of course, no official figures which
could have any impartial or valuable
bearing. Watches We're held by all the
officers aboard, and also by those mem
bers of the Government Trial Board,
and close calculations We're made from
buoy to buoy in the run of So knots A
comparison of these different figures
showed an agreement that the cruiser
had averaged few -hundredths less
than p knots. The computations ranged
from 2095 to 2099, the majority set
ting on 20.97.
The trial was made on the course from
Cape Ann, Mass, to a point off Point
Forpoise, Me, and return. The meas
ured distance between the two points is
forty-one and a half miles, thus making
the full run of So knots, including the
turn.
The Brooklyn, which had laid all
night off Boston light, weighed anchor
shortly after o'clock this morning
and proceeded to Cape Ann, distance
of about twenty-five miles Edwin S.
tramp, the member Oh the shlp-Dullu-
ing firm who is in charge of the vessel,
was not exactly satisfied with the re-
ports from the engineer when the i'm
aginary starting line from Cape Ann
was crossed, and the big ship made a
wide turn and came back. The signal
was then given, and the cruiser on her
second attempt sped across the line at
a rapid rate. The engines worked su-
rerbly at all stages of the run, and
the officers Of the vessel believe she will,
on her official trip on Wednesday, make
st least a half-knot better than her
record of to-day.
Edwin s. Cramp, after the turn to-
day, expressed himself as entirely sat
isfed with the behavior of the cruiser.

FIRE AT YOSEMITE.
The Stoneman House Burned to the
Ground.

YOSEMITE. Aug. pat 2 o'clock
this morning the Stoneman House, to-
gether with its entire contents, was
burned to the ground.
Fortunately no one was injured, al
though there were a number of guests
IN the house at the time.
The hotel was erected during the ad-
ADMINISTRATION of Governor Stoneman,
and was the result of public disap-
pToval of extortionate practices of the
private individuals who controlled the
hotel privileges through the farming
out methods then followed.
When the fire was first discovered the
work of alarming the guests was at
once begun, it being apparent that a
fight with the flames would be futile,
and the desire to prevent loss of life
overshadowing all thoughts as to the
safety of the property.
The Stoneman House was built by the
State in 1888 at q. cost of over $4,000.
and was modern hotel in every re-
spect.
