THE RUSSIAN ALLIANCE
CLAIMS A THIRD PARTNER IN
THE POPE
Russian Money in Millions Coming
to France An Outbreak Of
Anti-Sectarianism

PARIS, Sept. 11.-(Copyrighted 1897 by
the Associated Press.) Paris newspa-
pers are still most busfly engaged in
shaping up the future Of France in COM
pany with the Russian bear.
The alliance is a topic for daily con-
gratulations among most classes in
France, and it has given the greatest
pleasure at the Vatican, where the in
trigues of Cardinal Kopp, the prince
bishop OF Breslau, to detach vatican
sympathy from France, have met with
but little success. The French indeed,
claim that dual alliance has another
partner in the pope.
Russia is proposing to reap a harvest
from French delight at the alliance, and
is about to issue a loan in Paris of a
milliard of francs. In the meantime,
to help smooth the way, the Russian
minister of finance has issued a decree.
which will go into effect in October, can
ceiling the law under the provisions of
which the trust funds, bank reserves
and moneys paid of public companies
are not allowed to be invested in French
undertakings.
Upon the heels Of the appointment Of
the czar's commission to consider the in
PRODUCTION Of universal and compulsory
education throughout the Russian en-
pire comes strong crusade on the part
Of Russian bishops to stamp out Sec
tarianism. The bishops have agreed to
demand of the czar that Tolstoi and his
followers be prosecuted, that the Sec
tartan schools be closed, that the pres
ent communes be accorded the right to
expel sectarians to Siberia, and that
the publication of Lutheran books in the
Russian language be prohibited.
The more violent Of the bishops fur
:ther propose that the property Of secta-
rians be confiscated.

LIvERMoRE LAND
Proves to Have Very Badly Clouded
Title


OAKLAND, Sept 1.-THE title to 16(
acres of land in the city of Livermore
has been attacked in the Alameda
county probate court Behind an inno-
cent appearing petition that was filed
today is story which means a great
deal to hundreds of property owners in
the largest interior community of Ala
media county.
The property affected lies in the east
ern portion Of the town, and most of it
is north of the Southern Pacific railroad
tracks. Within its boundaries is located
the Catholic church holdings.
The story runs back to the time when
Alfonso S. Ladd, pioneer of Livermore
valley filed pre-emption claim on some
wild lands. Fifteen years later, he hav-
ing died, the United States patent was
issued to his heirs His estate was prop
erly closed and one-eighth interest in
1t was given to Joseph Ladd, his son.
This boy died in 1877 at the age Of 10
years, and his estate was never pro-
bated. Before the title can be cleared
that estate must be probated. although
the boy died twenty years ago.

THE NEWCASTLE COLLISION

ALIVE
Northern Officers on the Trail Of the
Perpetrators Of the Hold-Up
at Ripon

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEWCASTLE, Colo, Sept. 1.-THE
body Of Robert Ostrander, engineer of
the Colorado Midland stock train, which
collided with the Rio Grande passenger
yesterday morning. was found today in
the debris Of the wreck.
Rev. Alex Hartman Of Hersher, ILL.,,
whose wife and two children were killed
in the accident, died in the hospital at
Salida this morning.
Coroner Clark intends to make a thor
ough investigation and fix the RESPONSE
bility for the terrible loss of life. The
inquest began today.
The railroad officials claim that only
thirteen persons were killed and seven
teen injured, but the fire that broke out
in the wreck reduced some of the
corpses to heaps Of ashes and makes it
difficult, If not impossible, to determine e
exactly how many lives were lost The
remains of number Of bodies, various
ly estimated at from six to ten, lie in a
space less than would be ordinarily
taken up by one corpse and must be
buried without identification.
HELD RESPONSIBLE
DENVER, Colo, Sept. ia special
to the News from Newcastle, Colo, says:
Frank Burbank, conductor, and En-
gineer Ostrander, deceased, Of the Colo
RADIO Midland railway, are charged by
the coroner's jury with being RESPONSE
BILE for the frightful wreck which oc-
CURED here a few minutes past mid
night Thursday night. The inquest was
held this morning. The jury decided
from the evidence that the conductor
and engineer attempted to arrive at
Newcastle siding upon time allotted by
order of the train dispatcher to the Rio
Grande passenger westbound.
Conductor Burbank was released or
his own recognizance this morning, and
after the verdict was announced he was
not rearrested. The verdict was re-
ceived without any surprise.
The death Of Rev. Alex Hartman of
Herschock, ILL.,, and the finding of the
body of Engineer Ostrander increases
the number of known dead to eleven.
The coroner's researches among the
ruins have convinced him that from six
to ten more persons met death in the
awful accident. This materially re-
duces the original estimate.

Los ANGELES HERALD. SUNDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 8, s,,

Word was received here tonight that
Sheriff Cunningham of Stockton Is on
the trail of the two men who held up the
Southbound train on Wednesday night.
1t is believed that the robbers are now
in hiding In the dense willows on the
river bottom. If they are we'll provis-
ioned, it is possible for them to elude
pursuit for an almost indefinite period,
but it Is believed that their stock Of
provisions will soon be exhausted, as
they were compelled to leave their place
Of concealment on Thursday afternoon
in quest of provisions when they held UP
a blacksmith and peddler. Sheriff
Cunningham has number Of trained
and trusted deputies with him and is
sanguine he will bag his game before
another day has passed.
A WHITTIER GRADUATE
STOCKTON, Cal, Sept. 11.-A few
days before the first attempt to hold up
the southbound train at Marrano, Sher-
if Cunningham was informed by a To-
cal blacksmith that George Williams
the scapegrace son Of respectable pa
rents, had approached him with prop
osition to hold up the train. The pro-
posal was declined. Williams has been
an inmate of Whittier Reform school,
His partner, it is believed, is one Slage-
ger who has served a term in San
Quentin.
NO TRACE LEFT
LATHROP, Cal, Sept 1.-THE officers
in pursuit Of the train robbers, Williams
and Slageger, in company with Williams
father, reported here late tonight that
they had been unable to find any trace Of
the men wanted. Not even the remains
Of a campfire was found. Sheriff Cum
ningham has gone toward San Joaquin
City tonight.
STRUCK A SCENT
STOCKTON, Cal, Sept. 1.-THE hunt
for the train robbers continues, though
the center Of operations has been trans
ferred from Stockton to the upper end
Of Union Island, not far from Paradise
Cut, the first opening on the other side
Of the San Joaquin river. Dixie Grow,
who knows both of the boys suspected,
says he saw them, and is positive that
is the portion of country in which they
are.
John Thacker crossed the San Joa-
quin last night before midnight at the
country bridge and drove off in the di-
rection of Paradise Cut. That the two
boys should strike for that portion of the
country is certain, for Williams was
raised and knows every foot Of the
ground, his father having been in charge
Of the Weir dam at Paradise Cut for
years.
Crow claims to have seen the young
men in light spring wagon, and that
they told him they had been hunting
doves there. He did not then know of
the robbery, or the fact that the boys
were suspected, and did not learn Of it
until he reached Stockton.
Deputy Sheriff Wall returned this
evening from hunt OF two days. He
said that he had found nothing. Sheriff
Cunningham has not reported back to
the office since yesterday afternoon, and
as he is in that portion of the country in
which the boys are reported to have
taken refuge and where Grow says he
saw them, the belief is strong that the
veteran officer and his assistants have
warm scent on the thieves and expect
to land them soon.
