OWEN BOWIE sURRENDERS.
Maryland Fugitive From Justice
Yields to Starvation.

Frederick, Md, May 24.-Owcn Bowie,
who shot and killed Charles Smith near
Monrovia, Frederick county, on the lOth
instant, came to Frederick yesterday even
ing in company with two colored men, and
surrendered himself to Sheriff A. O. Nc
Bride. The sheriff had arrested Lewis
Smith and Columbus Thompson. coiored'
charged with furnishing Bowie food IN
the mountains, where he has been in
hiding.
The arrest of the men had the effect ~
frightening the colored people, and con-
sequently his supply Of TatiOns was cut Dn.
This morning suffering with hunger, Bowie
sent note to John T Diggs and his brother
william to come to the woods. Accom-
panied by several other colored men, they
went TO a cafe distance from the edge or
the woods, and. calling TO Bowie, they
learned that he was nearly dead from star
walton, and that if food was not supplied
he would die They advised him To come
aud surrender himself to the law. Bowie
looks very emaciated and despOndent, and
refused to speak about the shooting or OF
his movements since the shooting.
The Diggs brothers, to whom he surren-
dered, will receive the 500 reward " hich
was offered by the county commissioners
for his arrest.

BUCKET SHOP SUSPENSION.
Baldwin q Co. Yield to the Force
of CircumStanceS.

New York, Nav 24-One of the best
known bucket shop wire systems in the
country, that OF Baldwin & Co., of Wall
street, has been doing no business during
the last four days, and neither of the MEM
bers of the firm has been present to
answer the inquiries of the many persons
WHO have sought information.
The dstrust which has been occasioued
by the crusade of the Stock Exchange
against unauthorized brokers, and their
raids upon Bucket shops doing business
openly i'm Wall street, have convinced Bald
win & Co. that it would be advisable TO
cease business for time. The firm have
had system of agencies, or corresponds
ents all through the New England States,
the middle West and in the South. How
the sheets of the concern stood at the
time it was decided to stop business tenn
porarily is a matter Of speculation, but
from the wide operations OF the firIn there
is certain to be great interest shown by
customers liz the many towns in which
they were represe nted.
Estimates of the business done by the
firm were made on Saturday and also yes
terday, hut these estimates placed the
capital used blythe Baldwins a from $500.
600 to 100000
The members of the concern have had
one OF those eventful financial careers
that astonish the outside world, hut which
in Wall street, are getting more common
every day. There are three brothers,
Charles, A. T., and Frank Baldwin, and
they are the sons of Addison r. Baldwin.
In 1892 they organized as the Baldwin
Brothers Company OF Boston, under the
laws OF the State of Maine, with capital
of 100000. The company was prosper
Gus until 1895, when they began to lose
heavily and assigned on April 10, 1881,
with liabilities of S250,O00 and practi-
cally no assets. Thus far they have not
settled with their Boston creditors, save
in few instances.
The failure was a calamity 10 the New
England States, for there was scarcely a
town that escaped without serious losses
The class of persons with whom they did
business was one which could not afford 10
lose investments, and a storm Of complaint
swept all over the East. The brothers came
to this city from Boston, and A. 7. Baldwin
became q member of the Consolidated
Stock and Petroleum Exchange. They
started again as bucket shop, but the off
cials of the exchange discovered the meth
ods in which they W ere engaged, and began
an Investigation, which led to the expul-
sion of A. T Baldwin, in 1896.
The bucket shop failed subsequently and
il was understood that at the time of the
failure the concern had more than ST.
600, 900 represented on its sheets.

1t is very highly satisfactory to hear that
Mr. Calhoun has been informed that the
Cubans in arms wo aid be happy TO payt
Spanish debt incurred TO suhjugate them,
besides a bonus of a hundred million dol
lars TO tie New York bond and sugar CON-
bination IL is well to remember, however,
that within the present month Gen. Gomez
has declared that the Cubans VIII never
buy their freedom. The cat is completely
out Of the Administration bag. The great
liberty and humanity play in preparation
at the White House has panned ogt ex-
actly as The Times has said il would for
the past SIX weeks. The only thing that
can save the Cubans from being robbed Of
the independence they have won, and at
the same time redet m the honor of the
United States, is a prompt recognition Of
Cdban belligerency. Let members OF the
Congress understand this, and declare for
liberty.

on Sunday President Mckinley attended
divine service at the Foundry ST. f. Church,
and listened to a sermon from his venera-
bic old pastor, the Rev. Or. Lanahan.- The
text was from Proverbs: go not into the
way of the wicked; turn from it and pass
away" Nothing could have been more
seaSonable and appropriate. We earnestly
hope that Mr. Mckinley took the text to
heart. In the Peoples Church the Rev.
DIR Kent preached a strong sermon on
International Law and Moral Law. How
shall we reconcile them" argued Dr. Kelt,
"when international law permits us to sup
port the wrong, when that wrong rep
resents the policy of a neighhoring ma
tion; and forhids us to aid the right, when
that right represents a portion OF such ma
tion In rebellion against unjust and op-
pressive rule?" Ia this country all such ques-
tions are subsequently referred TO high
commission, consisting OF Messrs Olney,
Hale, De LONE, Long, Atkins, Hoar and

phyxiated by gas yesterday while trying

His associate knew nothing of his peril
hut waited six minutes. Then he became
alarmed. and dived for his partner. He
found Cavill with his head under the tub
