WORMS THAT MARCH AND SWIM
Samuel Eldodt, treasurer Of New
Mexico, brought in from his farm in
Espanola valley today a sample dozen
OF q colony Of peculiar worms that
have been passing through that Sec
tion Of the Rio Grande valley for three
days past. The colony came down
from the Santa Fe mountains on The
east, and is moving westward with
great regularity, covering a ground
space of about four square miles. No
crops were molested, but they devour'
ed the wild Virginian In the foothills
and the cabbage plants in the valley
fields as they moved along. When
they arrived ut the Rio Grande the
front column, nearly six miles 10
length, never faltcrcd, but dropped
into the water and started for the
west bank. Millions Of them were
carried down by the swift current, OUT
millions more reached the other shore
and again took up their westward
march. The insects are from three W
five inches In length, having q brown
body with yellow AMI red markings
and a projection from the back near
the tail 10 the shape OF a sharp horn.
No such visitation was ever before
known 10 that locality. -Santa re

THE BOWLING TOURNAMENT
Opened with Games on Two Alleys
Last Night.

Much interest is manifested over the 10
cal bowling tournament that had its begin
ming last night. The following clubs will
endeavor to show their supremacy: The Old
Guards, the Independent Turner'S, the Lyra,
the Independent Bowling Club. the ALL
Americans. the COMMUNICATIONS, the
Social Turner's and the Capital City. There
were to have been three games last night,
but as the Independent Clubs alley was not
quite in shape, there was no game be-
tween the All-Americans and the Inde-
pendent Bowling Club teams. There was a
lively contest between the Old Guards and
the Independent Turner's at the Lyra Cast
no. Many passers-by on Meridian street
heard a long rumbling sound, followed by
crash and loud applause but few dreamed
of the excitement within; they could not
see that at a critical point in the game, with
the Old Guards slightly in the lead, that
Deluse had made ten strike with balls to
spare, for the other side. Neither could they
see the many ladies who quite hemmed in
the alleys and who continually urged their
favorites on to greater effort. They could
not see the gyratons of the various play
ers as they endeavored to control the
hands; or the cries of hard luck, Charlie
as a center ball swept down all the pins
At the end of tie first half the Old
Guards led by eighteen points, but in the
second half the Independent Turner's took
a squirt and passed them, winning the game
by eighty points. The PLAYERS for the Old
GUARDS were Vonnegut, kothe, Kuhn, KEEL

OUTRAGE ON AN AMERICAN.
John Augustine Thrown Into a Mica
raguan Prison without Trial.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct lL--John
Augustine, an American citizen, was ar
rested at San Carlos, at the mouth Of the
San Juan river on Sept "a by order of
President Zelayas brother, without any
pretense of a trial and imprisoned Mr..
Augustine was formerly United States con-
sui at Bluefield, Mosquito Territory. and is
at present in charge Of the navigation com
pany's steamers on the San Juan river.
About Oct. Mr.. Augustine succeeded in
sending word of his Imprisonment to the
United States consul at Mana:yua, who, it
is claimed, informed the prisoner that he
could do nothing for him, citing, it is al
legged, the instance of two tra4nps from the
United States who had been arrested sew
era months ago for cause, and who were
shipped out of the country. However, about
Oct. 5, the fact of Mr. Augustine's irnprison-
ment became known to United States Min
lister Baker, who wrote to President Zelaya
prisoner was allowed to leave the peniten-
tiary on parole, with orders not TO leave the
city of Managua.
The facts in the case seem to be that
previous to the arrest of Mr. Augustine
had forcibly taken possession of the steam
running them to suit itself. On Sent. %
Mr.. Augustine was ordered Dy a govern
ment official 10 direct the movements of the
boats, apparently for the purpose OF getting
the company to feed and pay the officers
and men on board. This Mr.. Augustine re-
fused to do unless the boats were turned
over TO the company and he received orders
from the latter TO comply with the govern
menes demand Under these circumstances

SUIT INVOLVING 100000.
Charles Austin Bates Says He Has
Been Defrauded of Securities.

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-Accordng to a
summons and complaint filed in the county
clerks Office to-day. Charles Austin Bates
claims he has been defrauded of 100000
worth of stock of the General Electric Rail-
way Company. of Chicago and he names
the members of the firm of J. Pierpont Nor
gan g. Co. as defendants in the suit to re-
cover it, the other defendants being Lucius
Clark, A. G. Wheeler and Perry A Hull,
of Chicago. Bates, in his complaint, alleges
that in November, 1895, he purchased 10000
shares of the stock of the road, which, he
says, was not then in process of construc-
ton, but its stock he declares, was and is
very valuable. Soon after purchasing the
stock Bates saws Defendant Clark. who
then held considerable amount of stock
in the company came to him and repre-
scented to him (Bates) and other stockhold-
erS that in order to successfully carry out
the objects for which the corporation was
created and secure the passages of ordi-
nances allowing the use Of certain streets
in Chicago it was necessary to have con-
trolling interest in the stocks placed tenn
porarily in the hands of one person. Bates
says he turned over to Clarke his 10000
shares on Clark.s promise to return them
soon as the objects he represented were
accomplished, but that he had repeatedly
tried in vain to get Clark to return the
stock. Bates says he then discovered that
Clark transferred the stock to Defendant
Hull that the latter transferred it to
man named Stinson, who in turn trans
ferred it to j. Pierpont Morgan or to ].
Pierpont Morgan q Co., who, Bates says,
now have it in their possession. All the
transfers, Bates declares, were pretended
and made without consideration and he
brings suit to recover the stock and asks
the court for an Injunction restraining the
defendants from disposing of the stock, as
he declares there is danger of their selling
the stocks to parties who may think they

Let the silver Commission Come Home

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The British government having refused
to reopen the India minis for the free COIN
age of silver 1t would seem the commission
headed by Senator Wolcott which has
spent several months in Europe in a vain
effort to aid the silver-mine owners, might
as well come home. Gold has been the
standard of value in England for more
than eighty years, and the British people
do not want change. The administration
of Lord Salisbury would be driven from
power should it yield to the demand of our
commissioners, and 1t matters not whether
any members favor the proposal-they dare
not do 1t. Nor does Il matter whether
France favors so-called bimetallism or not
for she could not put 1t in operation unless
England and Germany would do likewise.
These things were apparent TO most people
before the commission sailed, but the st.
Louis platform seemed to require President
Mckinley to make the effort. 1t seems TO
have been a struggle for the impossible
