THE SANTA fE REcEIHERSAYp.
JUDGE KeeIer Makes q Statement of the
Company's Condition and as to
His Rafifinn.

TOPEKA, KANs., Nov. 6.--Judge Keller
this morning gave out this statement as
to his reason for applying for a receiver
for the Santa Fe road:
s'The condition of the new company is
worse than the condition OF the old COM
pany at the time it was closed out. On
June 80, 1895, the outstanding capital
stock and mortgage bonds Of the old COM
pany amounted to $344, 677, ,729 48. On
June 30. 1896. the standing capital stock
and mortgage bonds of the companies
amounted to $39S, ,7l8, 500.
1.-The property and assets of the old and
new company are practically the same.
The income of the old company for the
year ending June, 1895. was $438, ,379 IT,
less than years interest on its bond in
debtedness. The result of the first years
operation of the new company will not be
known to the pubic until it files its an
nual report in 1897, but there is no good
reason to believe that its earnings will be
sufficient to paw any dividend on capital
stock, not even the full amount of annual
interest on its bonded indebtedness.

While Out Riding She Is Affected With a
Pain Near the Heart and Ex-
pires Soon After

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 6.-Mrs.
William II. Vanderbilt. the mother OF
Cornelius and William K. Vanderbilt,
died at Scarborou. h, n. Y, this after
noon. Her death was due to heart disease.
For some time past Mrs. Vanderbilt had
been troubled with the maiady, which
finally resulted in her death, and this
morning she was out riding with her
sister when she felt severe pains in the re-
gion of her heart and asked to be taken
home. Her request was immediately
complied with, but the pains and suffer-
ing increased, and at 1:3O she expired.
Her daughter, Mrs. Elliott +. Shepard.
and her sister, Mrs. Brownlee, were
present at the deathbed. Mrs. Vanderbilt
was rs years of age.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was daughter of Rev.
Samuel Kissam, minister of the Dutch
Reformed church, and was born at
Coeymans, near Albany, N. Y. During
her childhood she was carefully educated
oy her parents and received a strict re-
ligious training. Her father died in
Brooklyn in 1869. She was married to
William III. Vanderbilt in 1871. Her hus-
band was at that time clerk in the Office

Like the Weather, the Passengers
When They Hard of the Mis-.

CAME IN WITH ONE SCREW.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 6-The dis
abled Hamburg American line steamer
Fuerst Bismarck limped into port this
afternoon, having met with an accident
which rendered useless one of her engines
at $3.50 o'clock Thursday morning. AT
that hour the ship was AGO miles east of
Sandy Hook, making for port at 20-knot
gait The weather was calm and the ship
glided along smoothly.
Suddenly decided vibration was felt
all over the steamer. Chief Engineer
Ludwig Jonas, who happened to be on
deck, realized at once that something was
wrong. Going below, a hurried investiga-
ton showed that the aft bearing of the
crank shaft of the starboard engine had
been fractured. He ordered the engine
stopped, allowing the ship, which is a
twin screw, to proceed under her port en-
gine.
The break proved bad one and the
discovery by the acute ear OF Chief Jonas
came just in time. The fracture occurred
In that part of the shaft just aft of the
crank and had it not been promptly noted
serious results would doubtless have fol-
lowed when the engine freed from the
resistance of the propeller began to trace"
at accelerated speed. the crank shaft at
the point OF the trouble is 1917 inches in
diameter and the break was total. the shaft
being completely severed. The chief en-
gineer was not prepared to express an
opinion as to the cause of the accident,
but thought it might possibly have been
caused by defective castings.
There was no excitement among the
passengers when the nature of the acci-
dent became known and the delay to the
ship was only a few hours, a speed of over
fourteen knots an hour being maintained
a the port engine alone.
When the Bismarck arrived off Fire
Island this morning she signaled for tugs
to be sent to her assistance as q precau-
tionary measure, Captain Albers deciding
to guard against possible accident in en-
tering port through the narrow ship chan
mel.
The repairing of the broken part was
begun this afternoon, and, as an extra
crank shaft happened TO be on board to
replace the disabled one, the ship will be
able to sail on her next schedule day. Il
is q coincident that the Fuerst Bismarck
reported the American liner Paris, which
broke her shaft on her last outward
bound trip, at about the same distance off
shore as was the Ham burg liner when the
present mishap occurred.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. GA Sun
special from Washington says: The de-
feat of the Democratic ticket will result in
large contracts being awarded at once by
the Government involving almost ST.

Of this sum the Lighthouse Board of the
Treasury has been waiting Two months to

lighthouse tenders and two light vessels,
and they would have had them under way

election.
Within a few days these boats will be
open TO competition and some lively and
close bidding is expected. Contracts for

have been but few advertisements issued
by the departments for work of any kind,
as it was realized that If bids were SUBJ
mitted previous to the election they would
probably be higher than now and the COM

ton of the confidence which has been re-
stored when several persons appeared at
the District tax Office and offered gold in
large quantities in payment for their debts.

OUTLAW HATFIELD JUGGED
Leader of the Notorious West
Virginia Clan Captured
at Last.
SURROUNDED by a Large Besieging
Party in a Sone Fort in
the Mountains.

HUNTINGTON, W. VA, Nov. 6.-Cap-
tain Hatfield, the outlaw, and his son
were captured and lodged in jail this
morning.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. GA Sun
special from Williamson, Va, says:
Never in the history of Mingo County
and never since the days of the Hatfield
Mccoy feud has this region been so stirred
over any occurrence as it is over the
triple killing by the notorious leader of
the Hatfield clan, Captain Hatfield, at
Matewan on Tuesday last. The excite
ment has been intensified by rumors of an
uprising of the whole Hatfield clan, num-
bering over 100 strong, to defend their
leader and aid him in keeping out of the
hands of the officers of the law.
After forty-eight hours OF tireless trail
ing and accommodating Hatfield and about
twenty of his kinsmen have been found at
an old stone fort in the mountains, which
was used by the Hatfields as kind of
headquarters during their trouble with
the McCoys of Kentucky, some five or six
years ago. Men were stationed at various
places along the only line of railroad run
ming near, with strict orders to search all
trains and all the routes which the Hat
fields would traverse in an effort to get
across into Kentucky. The mountains.

COLO PROCESS DECISION.
Valuable Gold Recovery Patents
Overthrown by a Pretoria
Court.
The Result Will Be Very Great
Increase in the Worlds Stock
of Gold.

NEW YORK, n. y, Nov. 6.-Word was
received in this city yesterday that tie
High Court at Pretoria, the capital of the
South African republic, had declared void
the MacATthur- Forrest patents for the
cyanide process for the recovery OF gold.
This decision was given in suit brought
by the combined rold-mine owners of Jo-
hannesburg and the Transvaal. The in
formation came in this cablegram to Law
yer @. w. Truslow:
Judgment for plaintiff. Both patents
cancelled"
The decision will have an important
bearing upon every interest connected
with eold-mining, for it is a m natter which
involved many millions of dollars directly
and untold millions altogether.
Up to 1891 the reduction works had been
running upon the old plan, stamping the
rock and getting out OF it what gold was
coarse enough to be taken out by Quick
silver. All The rest ran of with the tail
lngs, and hundreds of thousands OF tons
OF ground rock were shoveled away as
refuse from the stamping mills until there
were hills OF it at every mill and hidden
fortune in every hill.
1t was ct this time that the two Scotch
men, Macarthur and Forrest. took out pat
ents all over the world for the cyanide
process OF gold recovery. In the single
year OF 1894 in the Witwatersrand district
OF the Transvaal 2.s47, 1916 tons OF taiIings
ana 1851 tons of concentrates were put
through the process. which yielded more
than Sl0,OOo,000 worth OF gold. with an
apparen. profit over the cost OF the process
OF about S7.375, ,OJ0.
This seems to indicate that the miners
ought to have been well satisfied. But

FOUL MURDER BY MONKS
Fate of a Seattle Prospector
Who Was Successful
in Peru.
Had Much Gold Upon Him at the
Time, and Leaves a Fortune
to a Sister.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 6.-The Her.
aid special cable from Sucre. Bolivia, says:
1t is believed here that L. Cooper, the
American miner who, it is alleged, was
murdered by Indians in the forests of
Cara baya some time ago, was in reality
victim of Spanish monks in Peru.
Cooper was one OF a party of seven, who,
it is said, were attacked by Cunchos In
dians and four OF the party killed. Later
this was denied and the statement was
made that he had been drowned. Now,
however, the belief is voiced that he was
murdered by monks. possibly for a
great quantity of gold in his possession.
Cooper worked his way from Seattle,
Wash, to Peru four years ago. He was
prospector and made friends with the
Cunchos Indians, so that he went as he
pleased without fear. He was seen st
Lake Titicaca by f. w. Grauert OF this
city three years ago. and had at that time
a quantity of gold with him. In 1895 he
organized company to work the Cara
baya mine, from which he had taken the
gold, and later sold it for large sum to a
Mr.. Harrison, representing an American
syndicate.
Soon after this Cooper went to the An
des of Peru prospecting. and it is believed
he was attacked there and perhaps killed
by monks. These monks are the ones who
attacked five Swedish-Americans several
years ago, when the FIVE men fought SO
bravely for life. Many other Americans,
too, have been murdered in cold blood un-
der suspicious circumstances and nothing
has been done to bring the guilty ones to
justice.
Cooper had a widowed sister living some
where in Peru tit is not known where)
who wonld inherit everything he left. His
property holdings in Bolivia and Peru are
large and would mean fortune to her if
she could De found.
