HARRISBURG Pa.), Sept. u. - The
executive mansion has been the scene
of much activity during the last forty
eight hours. Governor Hastings At
torney-General Snowden, Adjutant-
General Stewart and Private Secretary
Beitler have been on duty almost con-
stantly. A corps of messenger boys is
stationed in the parlor to carry mes
sages from the Governor to the tele-
graph office and the headquarters of the
National Guard Major General Snow
den will remain at the mansion until
after the funeral of the victims to-
morrow. No further trouble is antici-
pated, but the Governor has requested
the Major-G General to remain here over
tomorrow in case of an emergency re-
quiring his presence.
Generals Snowden and Stewart may
visit the soldiers camp after the flu
nerals. General Snowden is so we'll
pleased with the admirable manner in
which the troops are being handled by
General Goblin that he will not inter
fere with his plans. The General tele-
graphs that there was no trouble and
that he did not look for any outbreaks.
General Goblin will keep a close watch
on the funerals and will prepare to
suppress any disorders. Should the
miners and operators adjust their diff
ferences at Tuesdays conference, the
troops, with the exception of a bat
talon of infantry and a troop of cav
airy, will be withdrawn. The First
Brigade is still held in readiness, but
it is thought here that all danger of
another outbreak is passed, and no
more troops will be needed Governor
Hastings has abandoned his visit to
the Blue Mountains and will stay here
until the troops are withdrawn.

Reliance Beats Los Angeles at the
Bay in a Close Game.

GRASS VALLEY, Sept. 12.-The
Monarchs to-day defeated a picked
nine from Sacramento composed prin-
cipally of members of the High School
and the Corker Club, by score of 45
to 3. The Sacramento players had
three pitchers in the box, all of whom
were batted hard. Their fielding was
poor, while that of the Monarchs was
much better.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12-Over
5000 baseball enthusiasts passed
through the gate at Central Park to-
day and saw the Reliance team of
Oakland beat the Los Angeles, by a
score of 5 to 4. The delivery of Har-
vey, the Los Angeles pitcher, proved q
veritable Chinese puzzle to the heavy
batters from Oakland. Eight of them
famed out one or more times. But in
the eighth inning the Oaklanders filled
the bases, and through a series of err
rors gained the advantage of one run,
after a very exciting game.
STOCKTON, Sept. 12.-The All-Cal-
ifornia baseball team of San Fran
cisco We're shut out by Stockton to-day.
The decisions of Umpire Duff gave gen.
eral dissatisfaction to both sides. The
visiting club made but four hits off
Chase. Score, II to 0.

SULPHUR CREEK.
The Scene of the Latest Excitement
on the Klondike.

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-Sulphur Creek,
a branch of Dominion Creek, which is
a tributary to the Indian River, is the
scene CT the latest great gold excite
ment IL the Klondike.
From accounts of the new district
brought down on the schooner South
Coast. it seems that the new diggings
will rival even the famed Bonanza and
FL Dorado. Gold was found just be-
low the surface running S34 to the
pan. Two men took out $500 in day
by simply prospecting their claims.
A stampede followed the reports of the
new 1inds, which reached Dawson City
August 18th. In a week 80 men had
crossed the mountain between Ell Dora
do Creek and Dominion Creek. They
travelled day and night, and in two
weeks the whole stream was staked
out This information. the first au-
thentic story of Sulphur Greek, was
given to-day by John z. Light of Chi
cago. He left Dawson City on the
steamer Bella on August 18th. He
owns a claim on Sulphur Creek. He
says:
When I first heard Of the strike on
Sulphur Creek, I went over the noun
tains TO investigate it. I spent one
day with two brothers. the McKinnon
boys Of Wellington, B. c. 7 saw them
take cat $500 in one day from simply
sinking two prospect holes. The for
nation is the same as at Ell Dorado
Creek and Sulphur Creek, bears the
same relation to Dominion as does Ell
Dorado to Bonanza. The streams
empty into Indian River They are
just across the division from Klondike
''Of course, when the news of the
new discovery reached Dawson there
was a great stampede. and hundreds
left the Klondike for Sulphur Greek.
IT is al staked out now"

GREENFIELD REPLIES.
Scores a Writer in the London
"Times"

LONDON, Sept 12.-Henry R. Green
field. director of the Bank of England
and a former Governor, has a letter in
the Times" this morning, in the course
of which he says;
"As a bimetallist, and as one of the
senior members of the Bank Court, 7
think l have right to ask on what
ground the writer of the article en-
titled, "A Romance, in your Saturday
issue makes his as ion that the
bank has decided to bud a fifth of it's
reserve in silver Had the bank done
So it's action would have been strictly
in accordance with the Bank Act of
1874, and equally in accordance with
the action taken IN 1881 by the Gov
ernment, then presided over by a mono
metallist. Mr. Gladstone What the
bank did in 1881 was to assure the
treasury that the bank would always
be open to the purchase of silver on
condition of the return of the mints
Of other countries to such rules as
would insure certainty of conversion
of gold into silver and silver into gold
"Bimetallists declare that the prac-
tical results of a double standard in
France alone was that the two metals
did exchange throughout the world at
legal ratio, or with slight variation
as might in consideration of this great
subject be neglected. There is no
ground for saying that any one con-
nected with the bank has officially
gone beyond that position. Indeed,
doubt if any opinion has been recorded
or any determination come to at ALL
Your correspondent whole letter seems
founded on a supposition of what may
or may not have arisen in the neces-
sary preliminary discussions with re-
gard to the watering of the banks re-
serve with silver on the conditions men
toned in 1881.
IF ] am not mistaken, the very per-
sons who deprecate this dilution have
always been most desirous of a much
greater dilution by the issue of pound
notes on a more or less fiduciary basis.
1 may conclude by saying that the ex-
preston Certain Americans is scarce
ly a fitting description of the Com
missioners now officially charged by
their Government with their difficult
and onerous task"

LEFT FOR THE EAST.
A SwindIer Who Threatened to
Expose Business Men.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12.-John w.
Kapus. who swindled large number
of business men of this city by selling
them bogus claims against the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company, left for the
East Thursday night. Ever since the
discovery of his fraud he has been un-
der surveillance.
Last Thursday he announced that he
was going to Chicago. He declared that
if arrested, he would expose a number
of business men who had profited by
his frauds and had induced their
friends to buy the bogus claims. No
attempt was made to prevent his de-
parture. 1t is supposed he was ac-
companied by a woman, formerly the
wife of Chicago shoe dealer, but who
eloped with a drummer to Los Ange-
les. where she met Kapus. The small
er victims of Kapus swindle threaten
to force him to return and expose his
confederates.

MEMPHIS CTenn.), Sept. PA spe-
cial TO the "Commercial-Appea from
Hanburn, Ark, says:
A most disastrous freight wreck oc-
CURED on the Iron Mountain road at
Hanson, [. T., a small station twenty
miles west of Van Buren, at 2 o'clock
to-day, resulting in the death of seven
men and the serious injury of six 9TH
ers, two Of whom will die. The dead:
William Fame, Charles Fame, Doug
lass Anderson, John Johnson, Bose
Henderson, Frank Hamilton, H. A.
Walton. The injured: George Hoff-
man, Jack Jones, James Phillips, Rob-
ert Eubanks. Charles Pender and
George Parker.
OF the wounded it is thought that
two Will die, as they suffered Internal
injuries. All of the dead and wounded
were sent to Wan, with the exception
of Walton's body, it being brought to
this place, where he has relatives liv-
ing. None of the trainmen were hurt.
While the train was running at a
speed of twenty miles an hour, the
forward trucks of one of the cars near
the engine broke, wrecking fifteen cars
loaded with walnut logs and baled
in front and three in the rear, includ-
ing the caboose, every car of the twen-
ty in the train was ditched In the
middle of the train was a car loaded
with heavy machinery, and it was in
this car that thirteen men We're steal
ing ride, and from which seven men
and six seriously wounded were taken
by the train men shortly afterward
hot
wrecked car were a party of men and
boys living at Wan, who were coming
to Van Buren to find employment in the
cotton fields.
When the machinery car left the rails
it fell on it's side, nearly all of the men
being caught by the heavy beams
Many sad scenes We're enacted at
Hanson. One of the dead, whose name
is unknown, was found with head
mashed to a pulp between two heavy
logs, his brains oozing out Others
were crushed and mangled in a horrt-
BILE manner. Two of the dead were
brothers. VIII and Charles Fame VIII
was found on one side of the track and
Charles on the other, both crushed al
most out Of all semblance of human
beings.
The scenes at Wan, when the dead
bodies of those who had resided there
arrived, were affecting in the extreme.
The parents and other kin of the de-
ceased were at the depot when the
train came in.
1t will probably be several days be-
fore the wreck will have been cleared
away, and the full extent of the dis
aSter revealed.
Three men are still missing, accord
ing to the statements of some of those
who escaped.
A large force of men are at the spot
clearing away the wreckage.

TRACY. Sept 12.-George Williams
and George Stagle, the men suspected
OF twice attempting TO hold up the Los
Angeles express last week are lead
ing Sheriff Cunningham and his depu-
ties a merry chase along the river be-
tween san Joaquin City and the San
Joaquin River bridge. 1t was report
cd late yesterday afternoon that the
robbers had been surrounded near san
joaquin City and Sheriff Cunningham
and his deputies, assisted by Railroad
Detective Thacker searched along the
river on both sides for a number OF
miles until a late hour last night, but
no traces could be found to indicate
that the robbers had been in that
neighborhood.
This morning Sheriff Cunningham
and Detective Thacker searched the
country from San Joaquin City to the
san Joaquin River bridge, but up to
noon to-day were unable to find any
thing of the men. 1t is a WILD coun-
Try along the river where the robbers
are supposed to be in hiding, and it
viii be q difficult matter to capture
them if they can obtain food. 1t was
reported this afternoon that Williams
and Stagle had been seen south of the
san Joaquin River bridge in the old
river country. Williams has very few
friends at Banta, his old home, and be
ing without food. Sheriff Cunningham
is momentarily expecting to hear Of
some new hold up. Those who know
Williams say that he is a coward and
will nor fight. but that Stagle is game
and will not be taken alive.
Later-W Word has just reached here
that Williams and Stagle visited the
camp meeting grounds of the Dunkards
near San Joaquin bridge and that while
there they ate supper, but before Off
GERS arrived. they had made good their
escape. heading for the old river coun-
try, and it is only a matter of few
hours until they viii be captured, as
the country thereabouts is swarming
with deputy sheriffs and detectives.
