LAKE HERALD. WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 5, 1897

Butler set out together for Emu
Plains. In less than week Butler
appeared in Sydney with the story
that his mate was ILL., Weller's friends
became suspicious and organized a
party to search for him in. the mount
aims. On Nov 20 the coat of the miss
ing captain, the remnants of his
pocketbook and other trinkels belong
ing TO him were found beside the
ashes of a campfire near which were
also discovered a pair of trousers, a
black leather Logging and a coat bear
ing Buffers name. Skein by skein the
threads of the mystery were slowly
unraveled. Residents in the neighbor-
hood of Emu Plains brought forward
information of having seen Butler first
with Preston and afterwards with
Weller. The search party was aug
mented by scores of volunteers and on
Tuesday, Dec. l, Preston's undershirt
was found near Falcon Bridge, not far
from the campfire where the trail was
first taken up. On the following
Thursday PreSton'S body was diScov-
cred in a shallow grave at the head of
Numantia gully. He had been shot
through the head, stripped of his
clothing and doubled up in a narrow
trench. The search for Weller was con-
tinued increasingly until Dec. 6, when
his remains were found beneath small
mound on the banks. of Glenbrook
creek, he having been buried in exact
ly the same manner as Preston.
Meanwhile Butler had been located
in Newcastle, where, on Nov. Is, he
registered at the Sailors Home as Lee
Weller, remaining there for eight days.
He was next heard of at Sydney, where
he booked as second mate of the bark
Hawaiian Isles in the name of Captain
Lee Weller, using the dead mariner
hA Il
waiian Isles changed his mind and re-
leased Butler from his engagement.
Butler then applied to Captain Fraser
of the ship Swanhilda, bound for San
Francisco with coal, and was en-
gagged as an able seaman, again using
Weller's certificate and name.
The Swanhilda left Newcastle Nov.
%, two days before the first evidence
of Buffers crime was brought to light.
Since that date the Sydney authori-
ties have been advised that during the
month of August Frank P. Harwood
was introduced to Butler and the two
men went proSpectig to Cobar, N. S.
w. HARDWOOD was never seen again
and search is now being made for his
body.
A well-to-do resident of Germantown
named Lesah, who is known to have
gone prospecting with Butler in Sep
Frank Campbell. a young man who
answered one of Buffers advertise
ments and accompanied him to Nudge
not many months ago. Shortly after
CampbelIs disappearance another
young man, whose name is unknown,
was observed in Buffers company, and
he too is among the missing. In sew
eral other cases the evidence is not so
clear, but the authorities claim that
Butler can easily be convicted of at
least five murders. 1t is known that
his advertisement has appeared in the
Sydney papers under various DISCUSSES
since 1887, and those with whom he
has lodged since that time assert that
he did not lack for answers.
This, so far, is the story of series
of crimes that have aroused the most
intense excitement in all Australasia.

recovery of Id occurred at Liverpool,
prices here responding slightly thereto.
There was not much enthusiasm, how
ever, and during the first half hour a.
drop to yesterdays final figures was
recorded Another rally then occurred
but trade was moderate and of scalp
ing order. Receipts were As cars and
24,573 bushels were withdrawn from
store. The northwest had 260 cars
against 127 hast Tuesday and 664 a
year ago. Reported reduced acreage
of the French crop was a strengthen
ing factor early in the session. Before
noon prices worked through the calls
but around that point offerings proved
heavy enough to check the advance.
Export clearances were moderate at
46O,S66 bushels. Bradstreets reported
a decrease in the worlds stocks of
2,514,000 bushels. Closing continental
cables were lower. Further strength

sideration being a sale here of 100000
bushels cash wheat, for export. May

Oats-The trade in oats was devoid
of incident. The action was prompted
by the movement of wheat the price
range being, however, narrow. Re-

were no exports. Bradsteers reported
a decrease in stocks of 1900 bushels.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Ex-Queen Lili-
uokalani has succumbed to the preva-
lent malady, and is now confined to her
rooms at the Shoreham with a severe
cold. Accordingly, her projected visit
to the law makers at the capitol today
was postponed until some more pro-

cal significance whatever, so says Cap
tain Palmer, ex-Queen Lis secretary,
in this proposed visit.
For a native of a Semi-tropical eli
mate, she has withstOOd the extremes
of northern temperature remarkably
well until yesterday afternoon, when
the symptoms of a slight attack of in
fiuenza appeared. Her attendants were
very much alarmed, and besought their
mistress to consult a. physician, but
she insisted that she will recover with
out medical aid in a day or two, and
refused to allow the doctor to he
called. There is nothing whatever
alarming in Liliuokalari's condition,
but she will keep strict'y to her room
until she entirely RECEIVERS. If the
weather is favorable this will proba-
bly, be in the course of few days. but

Macon, Ga, Feb. "A sensational
bill has been filed before United States
District Judge Spear by T. ]. Fielder.
formerly OF New York, and one of the
late Austin Corbin's closest confiden-
tial brokers, against the Corbin Bank
ing company of New York and the
various English and American loan
companies which it represented. A
receiver was Immediately appointed
and an injunction granted against the
COrbin Banking company and the loan
companies. The receiver, P. Willing
ham of Macon, Ga, was directed to
take charge of all the assets of the
Corbin Banking company and the loan
property. mortgage loans and moneys
exceeding $1,000,000. The Injunction
prohibits realization by the mortgage
companies of any of their properties
or moneys in this state pending a final
adjudication, and it is held that upon
the appearance and answer to the bill
by the defendant the jurisdiction of
the order and the decree of Injunction
will pertain TO the entire United States.
and this event will tie up the large
Corbin banking house in New York
and investments in the United States
aggregating many millions of dollars
The complainant is Thomas F. Eel
der From 1886 to 1893 he represented
the Corbin Banking company in Geor-
gia, South Carolina and Alabama with
headquarters in Atlanta He loaned
out thousands of dollars on farm mort
cages and was well known in business
and social circles.
In 1898 Mr.. Fielder went to New York
to take entire charge of the southern
business Of the Corbin Banking COM
pany and the loan companies for
which it acted, or claimed to act, as
agent. He had no fixed arrangement
as to salary, but as much as $4,000
was passed UP his credit on the
books of the Corbin Banking company.
He now claims large commissions due
him.

not guilty on the ground that Schle-
gel was insane at the time of the muir
der, but adding that he had recovered
from such insanity. A. w. Steele, the

had such a vital bearing the
motive for the crime, was not, says
Mr.. Steele, taken into consideration at
all, nor was any of the evidence
weighed or considered. The reading
of the verdict was followed by a tu-
multi of cheers and scenes of great re-
joicing, as the court room contained
at the time about rs persons, most of
them stanch friends of the accused,
who had been waiting since early
morning for the jury to report.

AWFUL CATASTROPHE.
Passenger Train on the New York Gem
trial Leaps into the Hudson River.
TwentY-Eight People Dead as the Result
of Track Giving Way-Three Sleepers
Held the Track Death List
Would Be Larger.

GARRIsoNs. n. Y, Oct. 25.-The Buff
falo and New York special No. 4. on
the New York Central Sc Hudson River
road, was thrown from the track into
the Hudson river IL miles below here
just before daylight yesterday morn
ing, causing the loss of % lives. The
retaining wall along the river had been
undermined by high water in the river,
and the track caved under the weight
of the train. The train consisted of
the engine, an express car, a combina-
ton baggage and smoking car, one
day coach and six sleepers. The en-
CINE and two of the forward cars are
submerged in so feet of water. Engi-
neer Foyle and FiremanTompkinsw went
down with the engine. AS the train
plunged over the embankment the
coupling that held the last three of the
sleepers broke, and they miraculously
remained on the broken track. In
that way some 60 lives were saved.
OF eye witnesses there were none,
except the crew of a tugboat passing
with a tow. They saw the train with
its light as it came flashing about the
curves, and then saw the greater part
of it go into the river. Some of the
cars with closed windows hoated, and
the tug, whistling for help, cast off its
hawser and started to the rescue A
porter jumped from one of the cars
that remained on the track and ran
into the yard of Augustus Cars house,
near which the accident occurred, and
stood screaming for help and moaning:
1.-The train is in the river. All our
passengers are drowned"
In few minutes Carr had dressed
himself, and. getting a boat, rowed
with the porter TO the scene. AS they
turned point in the bank they came
upon the express car and the com bina-
ton car floating about 20 feet from
shore. but sinking every minute. One
man was taken from the top of the
car, and efforts were made to rescue
those inside. "a few were gotten out,
the passengers in the cars left upon
the track making a human bridge
to the shore to take the wound
ed on. The day coach and smoker
had gone down in the deeper
water and rescue was impossible. In
the latter coach the conditions must
have been horrible. The car turned
completely over and the passenger end
of it was deep in the water, while the
baggage end stood up toward the sur
face. The men in that lower end must
have fought like fiends for brief
period, for the bodies, when taken out,
were a mass of wounds.
