ESTES PARK

Is situated in Lafimer county, Colorado, sixty
miles northwest of Denver and at an altitude Of
$500 feet above sea level.
1t is reached from Denver by a pleasant journey
Of forty miles the Burlington route to Lyons,
thence by picturesque stage road through the
St. Vrain Canon. The stage ride is one Of the
most interesting features Of the trip, and furnishes
diversity Of scenery not exeelIed in the state.
Following the cratic course Of the St. Vrain, it
zigzass up toward the Park, the eye rests upon
everehanging scenes -hillsides covered with wild
flowers, huge and varied eolosed rocks; deep
gosges, yawnlng ehasms and frowning preeipiees.
On the right as you enter the Park stands Mount
Olympus, an imposing granite peak rising fifteen
hundred feet above the surfaee on the left, fifteen
miles distant, that sturdy old patriarch, Longs
Peak, looms up, proud pater to the peaks for
many miles around. In front, Mounts MeGregcr
and Fairehild, two foil grown children Of this
noble parent, also fifteen miles away, appear only
stones throw distant.
The basin Of the park is an undulatns prairie Of
green pastures, changing to pine groves and rock
scattered hills. The Gordon Of :ofty mountain
peaks which surrounds the park includes Longs
peak, Fairehild, MeGreeof, Prospect, Lily, Sheep,
Deer and Olympus mountains, Estes Cone and
others Of less magnitude.
LONGS PEAK
Is the highest point in northern Colorado, I4,27I
feet. The trip from the Estes Park hotel to
Lambs, the actual starting point. is full Of inter
est. The road skirts Mary's lake and leads
through ample pastures for the first few miles, then
through forest with the stursndous cliffs Of Lilly
Mountain overhanging the valley. This noun
tain is II 453 feet in height and its upper cliffs
steep and bare on the inner side, while the
eastern slope heavy timber grows to the too. Lily
lake lies at the base ofthe mountain and gives it
its name. Starting from Lambs at a. M, timber
line is reached about go. An hour later what is
called the Boulder Field" IN entered. As its name
implies, this is literally field Of various sized
boulders. At this point horses arc abandoned and
the natural means Of loeomotion resorted to.
GEM LAKE.
In Estes park is not surpassed by any in the state.
Its numerous streams are filled with trout. Indeed,
II was this feature that first attracted attention to
the park, and every season since it has been
visited by thousands who make the trip for fishing
alone. The supply seems inexhaustible, and the
fisherman rarely returns at nightfan without
good catch.
There are two good trails over the range which
bring Middle park and Gem lake within days
easy ride from Estes park. Nearly every day
hunting parties are formed. Good shooting is
found as soon as timber line Is reached and bear,
elk, deer, mountain sheep, grouse, ptarmigan and
other game offer rare inducements to the sports
man. Horses, guides, in fact a complete outfit,
can Be had at the park.
Much can be said Of the health giving qualities

 HAzLEToN. Pa. Sept. 16.-The strike situation is unchanged. Gen. Cobin says he does not expect any trouble, but is holding several attachments of cavalry close by. He is still in close communication with all the mines, and is being kept fully informed of the de- tails of all miners meetings
 At a. m. the Fourth regiment, which has been stationed at Audenreid since Saturday. was taken to Freeland on special train. and marched from that point to Eckley, distance of . few miles. A detachment of cavalry, made up of the city troop of Philadel- phia and the governors guard of Harrisburg, went to Cranberry, on the western outskirts of Hazleton, and made a demonstration similar to that of Tuesday at Drifton, Jeddo. Eckley and Buck Mountain. Incl. dental to this movement Gen. Gobin stated that information had been re- ceived by him that some of the miners had secreted some dynamite in Cram berry. He did not know where, but the cavalry was ordered to make n search of the suspected place.

DIES rRUCTIvE FIRE.
Threatening Blaze at the County Seat
 of St. Louis County, Mo.

oi ot. Aouib Oouuty, MO-
 ST. LOUIS, Sept. l8.-A blaze broke at Clayton, the county seat of St. Lous county, at eight o'clock Tuesday night, which threatened to destroy the town. Pandemonium reigned supreme for two and a half hours, and half a dozen excited citizens were badly hurt in their efforts to save the burning buildings The local volunteer fire company, under Chief Peter Kerth, fought nobly, but were powerless to prevent the progress of the flames, and Chief Swingley, of St. Louis, was called upon for assistance. He responded by sending engine No. 30 and truck No 9 to the rescue, but they arrived too late to render any practical service.
 A row of four frame two-story build ings on the northwest side of the pub- lie square, owned by Judge Herman Heintze, and valued at S5, 900, were to- tally destroyed, as also their contents. which were owned by F. w. Sanguinet, the proprietor of the Clayton Fulton market. The total loss from the fire was S7, 500.

THE YELLOW SCOURGE.
No Further Change in the Situa-
 ton at New Orleans.
MANY SUSPECTED CASES REPORTED.
The Board of Health Investigates All, and the Thorough Manner in Which the Work is Done and the Absence
 of Mortality Allaying Alarm.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 16.-There has situation since the official bulletin of the board of health Tuesday night, de- claring five new cases of yellow fever. In the matter of the five suspected cases, it was understood that the board of experts would pay visits again to further note the condition of the patients and to complete their diag- nosis.
 Numerous suspected cases are being reported to the board, but many of them are known to show no traces of yellow fever. So widespread is the concern in the situation that it is doubt ful if any case of fever appears with suspicious circumstances attending it, that it is not immediately brought to the attention of the board by neighb bors. Every case reported is entered and rap- idly investigated, and the board is con- stantly adding to it's staff of inspectors. The absences of mortality is having a tendency to strengthen public confi- dence in the methods which are being applied in the treatment of the cases, and unless the disease should suddenly assume a most malignant form, many people who had intended to leave town will probably remain and help fight the battle rather than run the risk and inconvenience of travelling through parishes and counties that are terrorized by the wild reports of the plague, and which are receiving visitors with shotguns instead of open arms.
 On the streets there is no semblance of excitement, and what business there is to transact locally is going on with out interruption. It is only at the steamer and ship landings and at their depots that any evidences of the effect of the fever here are found. So many towns are quarantining against river craft that most of the boats will have to be withdrawn for the time being. At railroad depots very little freight is being handled, and the pas senger business has dwindled to noth- ing. The Louisville & Nashville has taken off its through train leaving in the morning, and it's through train ar irving in the evening. The Mis- sissippi Valley has withdrawn it's regular daily train to and from Memphis. There being little or no travel on these trains, it was not considered worth the expense of op- erating them until the country recov- CTS from it's fright.
 The board of health will prosecute, vigorously as possible. its efforts to have the clothing and baggage of all the people who have arrived from in- fected parts disinfected. It is hoped thereby to crush any germs that exist here and that have not yet gotten in their work

POSTAL SAW NGS BANKS.
Postmaster-Genersl Gary Win Favor Thei,
 Establishment.

WAsHINeToN, Sept. 6-Postmaster. General Gary is devoting considerable attention these days to an investiga. tion of the wisdom of establisbino postal savings banks. When in the last congress a bill was sent to him providing for such institutions, he declined to indorse it because, as he said. he had not had an opportunity to investi. gate the subject. He has since taken up the matter, reading all the litera- ture bearing upon it he could pro- cure, and asking opportunity to discuss its merits with those familiar with it. The result Is that he has become convinced of both the wisdom and the utility of postal savings institutions, and has de. cided to have bill prepared providing for their establishment and to recon, mend its passage by congress.

QU|NTUPLE LYNCHING.
Five Men Hanged by a Mob ct
 Versailles, Ind.
THEY WERE BURGLARS AND ROBBERS
The Citizens of the County, Enraged a' Numerous Expectations, Took the Law in Their Own Hands and
 Became Murderers.

VERSAILLES, Ind, Sept. 16.-A mob of 400 infuriated men lynched Lyle Levi, Bert Andrews, Clifford Gordon. Wm. Jenkins and Hiney Shuler. They were taken from the authorities. The men had been arrested for burglary.
 Frequent robberies had enraged the citizens of the county, and the mob was composed of citizens from Milan, Sunman and other towns.
 The mob on horse back. entered the town an hour after midnight and called out Jailor Kennan, who, upon refusing to give up the keys, was overpowered. The mob soon pushed it's way into the cell rooms and in their impatience first fired on the five prisoners and then dragged them to a tree, square from the jail door, and hung them up.
 Andrews and Gordon had already been wounded, having been shot sew eral times while attempting to rob a store at Correct last Saturday night.
 Schuler was in jail for attempted burglary and Levi and Jenkins had just been indicted by the grand jury tor robbery. They had failed to give bond, and were put in jail Tuesday evening.
 It is thought that Levi and Shuler were both dead from the shots fired by the mob when taken out of the jail.
 The bandages that were on the wounded men were found along the street, where they had been torn off as the men were dragged along.
 Lyle Levi was an old soldier and bore on his face wounds received during the civil war while fighting for the Union.
 None of the lynehers are known. They all came from distance, pre-. sumably from the neighborhood of Cor. rect, where the two men were arrested Saturday night.
 Versailles is town of some 800 peo- pie. 1t is one of the oldest in the state, and although it is five miles from a railroad station and has no telegraphic communication with the outside world, as have more pretentio towns of the county, it is still the county seat. For four or five years, and even longer, the farmers of the county have been the victim of a law icSS kduS, Who apparently ldcklug ln fear, have piled their vocation to the terror of the people, for they see mingly have had no visible means of earning . living.
 Farmers would come into town with bunch of cattle or load of farming products, and the next morning they would be found along the roadside suf- fering from wound and minus the proceeds of their sale. Old German farmers have been visited, and both men and women have been subjected to all the tortures that a hard ened mind could inhict. Aged German women have been forced to stand upon red hot stove in an effort to compel them to disclose the hiding place of some treas ure in the house. These depredations have continued unceasingly. Arrests have been made, but the guilty parties have covered up their lawlessness, and | it was seldom that conviction followed Gov Mount Wants Information. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 16.-Gov Mount has sent the following to the sheriff of Ripley county:

 Wire me at once the particulars of lynching that has occurred in your county. l further direct that you proceed immediately, with all the power you can command, to bring to justice all parties guilty of participating in the murder of the five men, alleged to have been lynched. Such lawlessness is intolerable, and all the power of the state, if necessary will be vigorously employed for the arrest and punishment of all parties implicated.

An Appeal 40 the United States Court

SAN FRANCISCO, June A. 1S97.-Theo-
dore Durrant will not be hanged on next
Friday. His attorneys have gained for
him a new lease of life for four months
at least and the condemned man made
merry in his cell last night when he heard
the cheerful news.
He had become resigned to his fate
and his fearful eyes had turned to the
Bible as his only solace when information
was received at the prison that Judge Gil
bert of the United States Circuit Court
had granted his attorneys permission to
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States from his order made on
Wednesday denying the APPLICATION for a
writ of habeas corpus.
The appeal will be perfected today
When Theodore Durrant's father will
file bond of $500 to cover the costs of
the appeal. Even if the appeal should
be dismissed early in the term the thirty
days allowed by the State law between
the time on which the execution is fixed
and the day of execution would carry the
matter pretty we'll toward the end if the
year.
No formal stay of execution, however.
has been given. Attorney General Fitz-

not to proceed with the execution on

BROWNS COAT FOUND
Story of the, Meadow High
way Robbery Verified
in Part.
BANKBooK AND RING TOO
An Italian Discovered Them in a
Hoboken Garbage Barrel
Elements of Mystery.

The mystery of Walter Brown, who all
legged that he had been held up by three
men at Brunswick and Sixteenth street,
on Tuesday night, and robbed of his
coat, hat and bank book, which he
SAID showed balance of s., 500 to his
credit, was partly solved yesterday after
noon by the finding of the lost articles
Browns coat was picked up by an
Italian ragpicker, who was rummaging
about the garbage dumps on the Hoboken
meadows. within a short distance of the
place where the alleged robbery occurred.
In the pockets were a ring, a cigarette
case and bank book in account with
the Theodore Starr Saving Bank of Phila-
delphia, showing balance of 81, 500 on de-
posit in Browns name. The italian
showed his find to Policeman Anthony
Monico of the Hoboken police force. and
the latter brought the articles to Police
Headquarters. Brown said that his as
SaiiantS beat him until he was un-
conscious and then threw him into the
swamp where he was found He gave his
address as the Montauk House, at No. 30
Montgomery street, but when the police
made inquiries they learned that no sucn
person had lived there in several days
Another peculiar feature of Browns story
was his failure to remember the name or
location of the bank in which his money
was deposited. The police concluded that
he was drunk and that the story OF his
alleged hold-up was a hoax. They have
now taken a different view of the sltua-
ton however, and are trying TO find out
more of the particulars.
Brown is in the City Hospital suffering
from several cuts on his head. The police
sent over to Hoboken this morning for
his bank book and coat.
