The Union Pacific Sale.

The sale of the Union Pacific rail-
road included the buildings and all
that goes to operate the system. The
sale was devoid of interest and went
off according to the program. Mas
ter in Chancery Cornish acted as
auctioneer. He first read the notice
Of sale. then a protest by Managing
Receiver Trumbul of the Union Pa
cltic, Denver and Gulf road against
the sale without the other Union Pa
citic property. After reading Ghe
protest Cornish called cor bids. Cen
eral Fitzgerald for the Reorganiz a.
Committee then bid S39,993, 2Sl 81.
Cornish then asked for more bids, but
there was no response. Tie then read IA
description of the bonds to be sold
and again called for bids. Fitzgerald
bid SI3645, 25D.89. General Gown,
the government counsel, asked for the
amount Of the two bids and on being
shown the mem oranda held by Fitz-
gerald male a note of it. Cornish
asked for more bids and there being
none he declared all the property
sold to Louis Fitzgerald and Alvin,
w. Krech, purchasing trustees, "they
having made the highest bids and the
only bids"
The total amount realized by the
sale of the road and bonds is S53, $685.

Without doubt the most remarkable
body of water in the word lies in the
vicinity of the Colorado river, in south
ern California. In this region of ugly
volcanoes, desolate wastes and, Shiny
swamps, says the ST. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, the strangest phenomenon of
all is what the naturalists call "lake of
ink" No other description fits so well.
The strange black fluid thai forms the
lake bears no resemblance to water. 1t

Internal regions. Thick and viscous
and foul-snelling, it seems altogether
unfit that it should deface the surface
of the earth.
The pool of ink is situated about half
q mile from a volcano. 1t is about en-
acre in area. The surface is coated
with gray ashes from the volcapaes to
the thickness Of about six inches, thus
concealing it's real nature. 4 traveller

After Many Years They Are Run

THEIR TRICKS CLEVER
FIRST ARREST WILL BE FOL
LOWED UP By OTHERS.
Over Fifty Thousand Dollars Worth
of Stamps Found on the Person
OF the Arrested Man-Stamps
Ranged In Value From One Cent
to Sixty Dollars-Other Crimes Of
a Day.

New York, Feb. 3.-After years of
hard work, it is now said that the post
Office authorities have succeeded in
running to earth a band of thieves
which has been robbing the govern
ment Of stamps at the rate of about
100000 year for many years back.
The first arrest was made today in this
city, and it will be followed I'D, it is
said, by the arrests of others in the
gang.
The man who was arrested in this
city is Hamilton F. Coleman, clerk in
the chief clerks department in the
general land office. He was arrested
on telegram from Washington. Over
$4,000 worth of stamps were found on
his person. These stamps are known as
periodical stamps. They ranged in
value from l cent to $50. A number Of
these sets of stamps are sent TO each
postmaster every year. When a pub
fishing house presents 1000 pounds of
published matter, for instance, the
postmaster gives it a receipt for the
postage paid, and cancels stamps
amounting in full value to that sum.
These stamps are returned cancelled,
to headquarters in Washington.
A new issue of these stamps was or
dered in 1894. Before that time an is
1875.
The collectors of postage stamps are
eager for the stamps, and always have
been, and so the stamps have been
stolen and sold to them. The face
value of the stamps is $204.57 The
market price, it is said, has brought
almost twice that much, so thieves who
have been stealing them have been
small fortunes.
Ii is AGA inst one of tho f1Ifac Of
the United States TO have these stamps
in ones possession, the supposition be-
ing naturally that as they are not for
and not intended to leave
the hands of the authorities, the per-
sons who have them must necessarily
have stolen them.
Coleman was taken before Commits
sioner Shields. Postoffice Inspector
Norris made an affidavit that Coleman
had received these stamps from one
j. Albrecht. and that he had
them in his possession in violation or
the United States laws. The COM
missioner set his examination for next
Wednesday, and fixed his bail at 81, 000
He sent several messengers out look
ing for bondsmen.
Coleman said he was innocent, that
the stamps were his property, and that
he could prove his innocence.
The detectives in this city said to-
day that they knew but little about
the true nature of the story behind the
arrest. They refused to tell who Al
brecht was.
Among other things found in Cole
mans pockets were a number of en-
velopes bearing the impression of Bur-
ger & Co, dealers in stamps at No. SO
Nassau street. Mr.. Burger said today
that he did not know Coleman.
Coleman has friends in this city.
From what they say it appears that
the stamps found upon Coleman were
sold to Rudolph F. Albrecht, a dealer
in stamps, of 80 Nassau street about
three weeks ago by a. c. Townsend
Dhilatelist having an office in the Loan
and Trust building.

A LITTLE ROW.
Original Articles In the Fight Are
Torn Up.

New York, Feb. 3.-There was an
exciting scene in the cafe of the Hotel
Bartholdi last night. in which Bob
Fitzsimmons, Martin Julian and
friend of Al Smith were the central
figures. The upshot of the matter was
the tearing up of the original articles
of agreement signed by Corbett and
Fitzsimmons on Sept. u of last year.
Julian destroyed the articles.
AL Smith. who is final stakeholder,
sent the old articles by a friend to
Julian to ask if they, amended, were
agreeable to him, and if the clause in
the articles relative to the payment OF
certain moneys due so days prior to
the contest in particular were salts
factory.
The amendment, which was written
on the articles signed outside this state,
read as follows:
by mutual consent, these articles
are hereby changed to cover the con-
test set for March II, 1897, to take
place in the state of Nevada or else
where. under the supervision of Dan
Stuart. JAMES J. CORBETT,

Julian, who was with a party OF
friends in the cafe of the hotel, read
the amendments carefully and said
that they were perfectly satisfactory
to him. The gentleman delegated by
Smith to convey the articles to Julian
placed the papers in his pocket and
was about to leave when Fitzsimmons
came in. He asked to see the articles.

Julian took the papers in his hand
and tore them in pieces, while Smiths
stood looking, slightly
embarrassed. He demonstrated, but it
was too late. The articles were already
destroyed; so the only thing left for
him to do was to take it good natured-
ly and depart empty-handed. Later
Smith and Julian had a conference,
and both said afterward that every
thing had again been arranged salts
factorily.
The articles destroyed will not af-

MOST REMARKABLE STORY
FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
Career of a Young Man of Good
Family, but of Dissolute Habits
Attempted to Kill His Stepmoth-
er and Several Other People.

Bloomsbury. Pa, Feb. 3.-One of the
most remarkable criminal cases in
Pennsylvania was brought into court
here yesterday. On Sept. 10 last an
attempt was made to blow up the res
idence, with dynamite, of the Hon.
Levi Z. Waller prominent lawyer of
this place. The attempt was traced
to Clifton Knorr, a young man of good
family, but of dissolute habits. Knorr
confessed, on his arrest, that he had
been hired by Lloyd S. Wintersteen, a
lawyer prominent at the bar of this
county and interested in New York
business interests, to blow up Mr.. Wal
lerS residence for the purpose of kill
ing Mr.. Waller and his family. Win
terSteen was arrested and yesterday
the grand jury found several true bills
against Wintersteen and Knorr, charg
ing them with attempting to kill. A
still more dastardly attempt at muir
der was confessed to by Knorr today.
He made confession that prior to
the attempt he made TO blow up Wal
lers family that Wintersteen had in
duced him to attempt the assassination
of Mr.. Waller by shooting him. Knorr
laid in wait for Waller, but the lat
ter'S life was saved by his unexpected
departure from town. AS if this was
not enough, KnOrr confessed to an at
tempt to kill his stepmother, Mrs.
Knorr, and that, too, by means that
only the widest reader of fiction is
believed would have thought of. Knorr
in his confession, says that he twice
attempted to poison his stepmother by
putting poison IN her tea, but eacn
time, by fortunate chance, the at
tempt was frustrated. Then, on the
suggestion Of Wintersteen, he wrote to
a certain place in New York City and
there procured the baccilli of diphthe-
ria, with the purpose of imparting the
disease to his stepmother. When the
baccilli arrived, Knorr learned that the
only way the disease could be impaired
by this means was by incubation.
It was impossible for him to do this
without his stepmother's knowledge,
but, in the hope that she would con-
tract the disease anyhow, he scattered
the germs through her clothing.
All these attempts at murder, ac-
cording to Knorr'S confession, arose
from a business transaction, in which
Wintersteen was worsted by Waller,
and in which Mrs. Knorr had a finan-
cial interest. When the bills from the
grand jury were returned to court,
Fred Ikler, counsel for Wintersteen,
asked for a continuance until the May
term of court The prosecution wanted
ance was asked for, but Mr.. Ikler
sustained by the court. Judge Ikler,
father of counsel for the defendant and
formerly an intimate friend of Win
tersteen's, was the sitting judge. On
this account he telegraphed to Judge
MetZger. of Williamsport, to come here
today and hear the argument for
a continuance Of the case.

Assessing Franchises.

New York, Feb. George H. Fear
ems, general attorney for the Western
Union Telegraph company, said yester-
day of the upholding by the supreme
court of acts of states in assessing tele-
graph and express companies of their
franchises: These suits have been
pending a long time, and they were
brought simply to test the law. No
large sum was involved in our cases,
which involved the validity of the laws
of Ohio and Indiana. The amount was
less than 100000. In the Indiana case
the action was brought by the United
States Express company to test the le-
gality of the imposition of a penalty
OF so per cent on unpaid taxes. The
Western union was made a formal
party. The decision is understood to
sustain the state law"
