chased the Curry gang of horse and
cattle thieves over a route from Wy
oming to Canada, 700 miles in length.
Though they finally caught up with
their prey, the robbers eluded them
in the darkness and made their es-
cape across the border, leaving twelve
stolen horses, a complete camping
outfit and a large amount of ammu-
milton behind, as well as two saddles.
The gang Is well known throughout
Montana, Wyoming and Dakota, in

An entertainment of more than or
binary interest was given in the NJ.
f. church on Friday evening last by
the Epworth League. This enter
taiument was somewhat of a new
departure and did much credit to all
who took part. A good-sized audi
ence was present and showed their
approval of the proceedings by their
attention to the various selections
rendered. This was the first of a
series of entertainments that the
league proposes to give to their
friends this winter. and the praise
given to them on this occasion Is an
encouragement to them for the future
and will undoubtedly produce a still
better entertainment next time.

TWO MORE FIGHTERS.
New Ships For the Navy by August 1

Washington, June 21.-Two more fine
fighting ships will be added to the effec-
tive force of the navy by August L.
They will be practically new in many
respects and superior in every way to
the vessels they were two years ago,
before the oVerhauling process began at
the Brooklyn navy yard. One, the
Chicago, is unlike any vessel Of the new
navy, and the second. the Atlanta, is
sister to the Boston, but a much more
formidable ship now. For more than
three years these vessels have been
undergoing complete rehabilitation at
New York, after constant service for
seven years during the early days of
the Steel-built navy. At her best the
Chicago was capable of 16 knots.
The old engines have been removed
and modern trip1e-expanSion machinery
put in that viii make the Chicago a
19-knOt vessel and one Of the best cruis-
ers in the service. In appearance the
ship is completely changed. All her
head gear, including jibbOom, nets, and
stays, has disappeared, and from a full
bark-rigged ship she is now simply a
steaming vessel with three pole mastS,
on which enough sail could be spread
in an emergency to steady her, but not
sufficient to give even Steerage way.
On her foremost is a military top
mounting three guns. Her mainmaSt
carries a little Spanker-Shaped SAIL
and aft is the regular spanl<er that she
formerly carried. Her battery is of
the quick firing variety, which doubles
the metal throwing capacity of the new
ship over the old Four eighths,
mounted behind shields fore and aft,
constitute the main battery, and on the
sides are fourteen 5-inch quick fire and
many 6-pounders and 1-pounders, Cat
lings and Colts, thus giving the Chicago
one of the most effective batteries of
any unarmored vessel of the service.
She will be sent south Immediately on
going in commission, and soon after
ward is to be followed by the Atlanta,
with a new battery and complete outfit

THIS IS NO JOKE.
Chicago Woman Has Her Husband
and Stenographer Arrested.

Chicago, June 21.-Dr. w. A. Haw-
ley, Mrs. Emma Hawley, his wife, and
Miss Nina Moore, were before Justice
Martin IN the Harrison street police
court.
1t was another instance of the man
who falls in love with his typewriter.
DR.. Hawley and Miss Moore were the
defendants and Mrs. Hawley was the
complaining witness. DR.. Hawley and
Miss Moore were arrested last night
Miss Moore, attired in a natty pink
and white waist, was pale and defiant
in court. The physician looked on in
inscrutable silence at the proceedings
while Mrs. Hawley, who stood some
what in the background, listened with
grim triumphant smile upon her face.
The hearing this morning was brief, but
apparently emfnent1y satisfactory to
Mrs. Hawley. DR.. Haw1ey and Miss
Moore were put under $500 bonds each
and the case was continued until june
%. !
This is not the first time that the diff
ficuIties of the Hawley family have at
tracted public attention. Last May
Mrs. Hawley created a public scandal
by an attack upon Miss Moore in the
doctors office in the Masonic Temple.
Shortly after that Mrs. Hawley began
a suit for separate maintenance on
the ground that her husband had de-
serted her. Mr.. and Mrs. Hawley were
married April 27, 1882.

TO CHECK TAMMANY.
New York Politicians Determined to
Have Honest Elections.

Albany, June E-Colone1 Abraham Cru
Der of New York was with Governor Black
for more than three hours today. Colonel
Gruber, of course, declined to state the
nature of his mission. He admitted, how
ever, that the situation in New York city
arising out of the removal of the two po-
lice commissioners by Mayor Van Wyck
was fully discussed. Governor Black has
a full knowledge of the New York situa-
ton, secured not only from conversations
with the leading Republicans of New
York. but also through letters from many
prominent citizens of that city who desire
honest elections Colonel Gruber said
that he was agreeably pleased to find that
Governor Black was fully aware of the
political significance of the recent action
of Mayor Van Wyck under the power of
removal clause of the charter.
u am satisfied. said Colonel Gruber,
that Governor Black intends to block
Tammany's game, which is to steal thous
ands of votes in New York city at next
falls election, not only through false reg
istration, but also on election day. Fight
ing Tammany methods Is not new to the
governor. He has had some experience
with the miniature Tammany In his home
city of Troy. There he fought the Muir
ply machine for several years and accom-
plished it's overthrow. He proposes to see
that New York shall not suffer a return
to the Tammany election frauds of 1892,
which was the last year that organiza ton
had full control of the police and election
machinery there, before the Tammany
leaders were dethroned. How the gov
ernor can accomplish his purpose he is
now considering"
Colonel Gruber would not say whether
Black and the subcommittee of the New
York Republican county committee which
is to wait upon and ask his aid to prevent
Tammany from cheating at the coming
election. He thought the committee would
not visit Albany until next week, though
Governor Black will be here tomorrow.

ALGER'S CARD DID 1T.
Secretary Pleasantly Surprises Three
Volunteer Sightseers.

Washington. June 2.-Three volunteers
from Camp Alger came to Washington to
see the sights. They tried to get into the
state, war and navy building, but it was
after 2 o'clock and the watchman would
not admit them. But the volunteers had
set their minds on seeing the inside of
the big establishment, and were discuss
ing a scheme to accomplish their object
when a quiet-looking. handsome man came
out of the door they wanted to enter.
Say, mister said one of the volun-
teerS, can you tell fellows how
can get in, here? Wed like to see what's
inside, and don't know when Wen get
another chance before we go to the front"
The quiet-looking man smiled, took a
card case from his pocket, and handed a
card to the soldier.
The soldier glanced at the card and in
stantly strightened up, bringing his right
hand at salute
"Gee!' he said, as the quiet-looking man
went down the steps, IT didn't know 1t
was him"
The others looked at the card. and then
gazed in open 1nouthed astoniShment at
the retreating figure. On the card was
engraved The Secretary of War" Secre-
tary Alger smiled all the way over to the
White House The card proved an open

WILL HUNT GHOSTS.
Milwaukee Man Appeals to Council to
Suppress Haunted House.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 21.-The Mil
Waukee common council will shortly
be called upon to determine officially
whether there is such thing as a
ghost. At Twenty-second street and
Grand avenue there stands a vacant
house which for years has been known
as the haunted house." All kinds of
apparitions are said to have been seen
in this place, and some of the most
prominent men in the city, who live in
the nefghborhood, among them
Captain Frederick Pabst, School Direc-
tor Sivyer and a number of others, are
willing to testify that the most out
landish and hideous noises proceed from
this place almost nightly.
J. H. White, who resides near the
haunted house, has sent in communi-
cation to the common council asking it
to take official action to have this
nuisance removed from the city. Mr.
White, in his letter, says that all the
residents of upper Grand avenue, the
fashionable section of the city, are
ready to petition the common council
to have this ghost joint suppressed as
a nuisance. The communica ton was
turned over to the board of public
works, but 1t disclaimed any authority
to act. so the petition will be referred
back to the council and the latter will
be asked to make an official investiga-
ton to determine whether or not the
haunted house is a public nuisance

KILLED BY A FAN.
Electric Cooler Wrecks a New York
Free Lunch.

New York, June 21-To the demons
of the deadly trolley and the live wire
must be added the electric fan that
whizzes and whirls, with it's hundreds
of revolutions a minute, singing the
song of a swarm of bees. Once this
demon gets loose it has the power for
evil of a cannon at large on the deck
of a warship.
The saloon of Edward Gallagher, at
Grove and Seventh streets, Jersey City,
was full of free lunchers at noon yes
terday when the electric fan, perched
high over the lunch counter, fell and
began whirring among the dishes of
tongue and boiled beets (and unboiled)
with a clatter which could be heard
for blocks.
The 1unchers fed in wild disorder,
overturning "hop-up'' stools as they
went. The fan did not let up for an
instant, for the current was still on
As 1t dropped off the shelf to the floor
it seemed to pursue in turn every one
wfthina the length of Its cable.
In falling the fan struck Edward
Blockmore, the lunchman, cutting his
face severely and rendering him sense
less.
The only other victim of anything
save fright was William DOnnelly, who
lives at Ninth avenue and Grove street.
He went to the rescue OF Blocknore,
and was badly cut about the legs by
the revolving blades. Blockmore will
die

GARCIA is SICK.
The Cuban General Goes on
Board the New York
To Talk Over War Plans With
Admiral Sampson.
HE THANKS UNCLE SAM
Says the Spaniards Can Be
Beaten Easily,
But They Will Be Hard to Drive
Out of the Island.
HE THANKS UNCLE SAM

Copyright. 1885, by Associated Press.)
OF Santiago de Cuba, June 10, by the
Associated Press dispatch boat, Kings
ton, June PA correspondent of the
Associated Press has been afforded an
opportunity of interviewing General
CaIixto Garcia, who, with his staff, was
brought to Admiral Sampson's flagship
this morning, on the gunboat Vixen.
The white haired general was lying in
the cabin of Captain Chadwick, the
commander of the New York. He was
sick.
This is the message General Garcia
sent to the American people:
Il am greatly obliged for the efforts
of the American people in securing the
independence of Cuba and shall do all
1 can to defeat the SpaniardS quickly"
Speaking of the march from Banes,
where he went to receive the munitions
of the Florida expedition, he said:
I'VE had a hard march over the rough
roads. Engagements with the Span
iards? No, because there were no
Spaniards. My 1000 men are in good
condition, except with the slight ia
tigue of the long march. We found
enough food, though the Spaniards are
starving. The patriots are not suffer-
ing from the blockade. They can al
ways get food. 1t is the Spaniards who
pay the price. I think the war will be
over in a few months. You can beat
the Spaniards easily, but it is very
hard to drive them out"
Then General Garcia asked Admiral
Sampson, who sat beside him, what had
happened to the ether Spanish ships,
the Pelayo and the rest and opened his
eyes wide, with a muttered exclama-
ton of surprise when he heard that Ad-
Iniral Camara was still at home.
At Holguin, General Garcia said there
are 10000 Spanish troops, but he be-
lieves the 5000 men he left there will
effectually prevent the army from
reaching Santiago from the 4olguin
side.
Captain Chadwick met General Gar
cha in General Rabi's camp, eighteen
miles west of Ell Moro. Rabi has about
a thousand men. General Garcia was
accompanied on board the New York
by his staff, consisting of Colonel Cola,
chief of staff, Colonel Valinte and Cap
tain Portuando, and also by General
Lord, Colonel Matanes, Lieutenant
Colonel Hernandez, Major Bueno and
their aides. Most of them suffered from
sea sickness, General Garcia humorous
1y saying: LAS bad as are the roads in
Cuba. your roads, Captain Chadwick,
are worse
General Garcia and his staff were put
ashore late in the day after the prelim-
mary details of cooperation between
the Cuban and American troops had
been fully discussed.

FEATURE OF THE FUTURE.
Aston Battery Will Live After the
War

New York, June 21-Lieutenant Col
onel John Jacob Astor does not propose
that with the close of the war all re-
Iationship between him and the men
composing his mountain battery shall
cease. Since they volunteered he has
had their personal comfort cared for
with much ScrupulousneSs. They were
clothed as befitted a crack battery
and with special view to the climate in
which they will serve. They were we'll
fed and Splendidly equipped and in
tourist coaches now are being carried
to San Francisco. The train on which
they are is being run as a special right
across the continent.
Throughout the war there will not be
anything within the rules of army life
with which they will not be supplied.
At it's end, or when mustered out, the
survivors will realize that Colonel Astor
does not mean that the battery shall
disappear and that all association with
it shall be broken off. 1t is known that
he has made such provision as will in
sure a trip of the battery to the Paris
International exhibition.
1t is the present intention of Colonel
Aston to go to Paris with the battery
but should accident or casual circum-
stances prevent this, he has made such
disposition as will enable his repre-
sentative not only to carry out his idea
but to supplement it with an extended
European tour. The battery has come
to be a fad of Astor, and the extremely
rigid physical examination demanded
of all the men composing it is a guar
antee that there is, at least physically,
no higher class of men in the military
service of this or any other country
While the battery cannot go as such
to the exhibition, it's members who do
will be thoroughly representative of the
best type of the American volunteer,
and, should the severe climate of the
Philippines not enfeeble them, they VIII
compare favorably with the finest men
of the crack regiments of Europe.

CALIFORNIA COINCIDENCE.
Hawaiian Flag Blows Away When
Annexation Bill Passes.

San Francisco, Cal, June H.-The
Hawaiian flag was not hanging from
the window of Consul General Wilder's
office Wednesday, For several days
the consul had noted the dilapidated
condition of his national insignia and
had promised to replace it with new
one before the week was over. Strange
ly enough on Wednesday afternoon a
gust of wind tore the flag from its hal
yards and carried it down to the street
below Its sudden disappearance was
noticed by Mr.. Wilder and his office
attendants. Mr.. Wilder stepped toward
the window from which the flag had
disappeared, but he had hardly reached
it before there was summons at his
telephone.
1.-THE house bill in favor of annexa-
ton" came in friendly voice over the
wire, has been passed by a vote of 209
to 81
Strange coincidence murmured the
consul as he hung up the receiver, and
strutting back to the window gazed
out upon the fiagless pole.

TOM REED IGNORED.
His County Convention in Maine For
gets His Existence.

Portland, Me, June 21-The Cumber-
land county republican convention,
which met today, ignored Speaker Reed
in his own home city 1t was done with
studied care and not word of refer
ence was made to him, although he has
represented the district for nearly six
teen years, and hitherto has always
been alluded to with pride and enthusi-
asm. This was on account Of Mr.
Reeds unpopular stand on the Ha-
waiian question, the state being strong
" in favor of annexation. The resolu-
tions and speeches eulogized Mckinley,
advocated an aggressive foreign policy
and an adequate army and navy, but
were absolutely silent regarding the
sneaker.
