QUAD'S QUEER TALES.
A Missing Brother.

The only. passenger who got off the
evening train at Jackson's Valley came
up to the shanty hotel, in front of which
dozen of us were sitting after supper.
Taking q vacant chair and lighting his
pipe, he said to the postmaster next to
him:
about six weeks ago my brother Ben
started from Laurel Hill for this place.
He got here all right but l can't find
what became of him afterward. Hev
you hung anybody lately?"
1--WE are hangin somebody every
three or four days." replied the post
master. "Let's seel This is Tuesday.
I think we hung a chap last Friday
yes, know wo did.
eff my brother Ben was hung, it was
several weeks ago. Ben was a big fell
low, with sort of bumped back, and
he had sort Of roar in his voice when
he spoke"
would he give us any excuse to
hang him?"
II think he would. Be1n In strange
town and Wantin to show off, he'd go
around blufin everybody. Brother Ben
is great on the bluff.
"But would he shoot or do anything
of that sort?" asked the postmaster.
81 never knowed him to, but he
might. Bluff was his great holt, but it's
jest possible that he might hev shot at
somebody to back it up. Try and think
if you hung him."
Lets see-let's seel Big man-big
voice-humped back-great hand to

Eyes, they did"
"And when he reared, he sort of
winked one eye?'
"That's Ben to dot. -
"Two front teeth gone and scar ON
ais cheek?"
Exactly. You must hev seen brother
Benz
Eyes, I have. We hung that man
five or six weeks ago, and his grave is
up on the hill. He bluffed around here
for three Or four days and was finally
ordered off. He didn't go, and so we
hung him.
"And did he die easy?" asked the
stranger.
"Purty easy, if remember right"
"Hev much to say?"
"Not much. Said he'd like to see his
brother Jim once more, think. ="
"That's me. So he's hung and bur-
led, eh?''

MRS. MACK ON THE RACK
SUBJECTED TO INTERVIEWS AND
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS.
Still Maintains that GuIdensuppe Is
Aliye-DeyelOpment in the New
York Murder Mystery.

NEW YORK, July /. - Mrs. Augusta
Mack, midwife, who is under arrest in con-
nectiOn with the murder of the man sup
posed to be William Guldensuppe, spent
the night 6, prisoner at police headquarters
She still insists that Guldensuppe has not
been murdered and that he will turn up
alive before long. Mrs Mack slept we'll
all night. She insisted that she saw Gull
densuppe on Saturday afternoon, two hours
after the first portion of the body was
found floating in the East river, at the
foot of Eleventh street. The detectives
are still continuing their investigation of
the matter and are making a vigorous
search for the man who supplanted Gulden-
suppe in Mrs. Nacks affections.
There is considerable skepticism among
the police as to the murdered man being
Guldensuppe, Notwithstanding the positive
identification of the deformed finger by
ten of the missing mans friends. DR.
Cosby, four attendants from the bathhouse
and an unknown man called at the morgue
to-day and positively identified the legs
found yesterday as those Of Guldensuppe.
Every effort is being made TO extort an
admission from Mrs. Mack that she has
knowledge of the murder of Guldensuppe.
She was subjected to a physical examina-
ton by polce-Station matronS this fore
noon, after which it was asserted that her
person showed marks that indicated that
within g. few days She had been engaged in
81 hard struggle. During the examination
Mrs. Mack is said to have been almosf hvs-
terical, and to have nearly broken down
several times. She was arraigned before
q police magistrate this afternoon. Mrs.
Mack was Visibly nervous. She clutchefl
her hands and her face was renarkablv
pale. She listened with the most eager at
tention to all the proceedings The ma aris-
trate decided to continue the preliminary
hearing from day to day, until the rnatter
is settled. A formal complaint will be made
when Mrs. Mack is again arraignied to~nor
row afternoon.
Superintendent OBrien said that he has
caught the prisoner in many contradic-
tions in the course of his interviews with
her, while on the other hand he has been
able to corroborate some of the assertions
she has made. He said that he has found
the original of the telegram which Mrs
Mack said Guldensuppe had sent to her on
Saturday afternoon asking her to go to
the baths and tell the superintendent to mn
another man in his place there temporarily
If this telegram is genuine and was IN
reality sent by Guldensuppe it is sufficient
proof that Guldensuppe was alive after the
first portion of the dismembered corpse
was found on Saturday afternoon in the
water of East river, lor 1t was sent some
time after that.
In the search of the Woman's rooms tn
day the police found a small piece of white
oilcloth, similar to some of the same ma
teral with which the parts of the corpse
We're wrapped. Nothing else Of a suspicious
nature was found in Mrs. Nack's rooms
so far as the police would admit.

RIOTS At CALCUTTA.
Troops Called Out to Suppress an Out
break of MussuImans.

CALCUTTA, July 2-2 a. m.-Serious riots
among the Mussulmans occurred here yes
terday evening Besides the main mob scat
tered gangs of rioters paraded the streets,
hooting and stoning the Europeans, sew
eral of whom were injured. Finally the
authorities were compelled to call out the
troops. 1t is regarded as significant that
the Hindoos passively sympathize with the
rioters. The situation this morning is still
grave. An additional force of cavalry was
required to dispense the rioters, but the
mobs quickly gathered together again.
There is bitter complaint at the absence
of the imperial and provincial officials,
who are now at Simla, the summer resort
Of the government officers.
The situation In the suburb of Chitpora
is now much more reassurng. But the po-
lice patrols were compelled to fire on the
rioters 1t is estimated that at one time
more than five thousand were holding the
northeast portion of the town. The num-
Der of killed and injured is not yet known,
but it is believed to be considerable.

CHICAGO. July 1.-The body of the late

Crowds at Denver.

DENVER, Col. July 1.-Since early morn
ing special trains loaded with delegates to
the Christian Endeavor convention at San
Francisco and other tourists have been roll
ing into the Union Depot in this city at
intervals of few minutes. The Gulf road
began dispatching special trains around the
famous gap in the mountains at o'clock
in the morning and many of the excursion
lists made this delightful trip. Twenty spe-
cial trains were scheduled to go west over
the Denver & Rio Grande to-day and to-
morrow ffty-two trains will be dispatched
on that line. The Colorado Midland will
also handle a large number of extra trains.
All the trains from the East are behind
schedule time and those on the Burlington
have been delayed by the slight accident
at Akron, Col The special desire of the
Endeavorers is to reach Salt Lake City in
time to attend services in the Tabernacle
Sunday morning. This will necessitate q
delay of twenty-four hours and then the
Southern Pacific assumes the responsibility
of conveying the tourists to the end Of
their journey. Great as is the task of the
roads in the East. the task undertaken by
the Southern Pacific is by all odds the heav-
lest and the result will be watched with
great interest by transportation men.
