long CHASE EFORACULPRIf
How Marsh, the Bank Wreck
er, Was Hunted.
DETECTIVE GEYER'S STORY
Travelled Over More Than Half the
Globe and Took Many Dangerous
Chances to at Last Have His Man
Deliberately Surrender-Work Cost
Thousands of Dollars.

In connection with the sensational sur
render of Gideon W. Marsh, the fugitive
president of the wrecked Keystone Ma
tional Bank Detective Frank Geyer, of
the Central Station force, last night told
an interesting story of his chase over
half the globe in search of the much
wanted fugitive, says the Philadelphia
Record.
He made the search through the yellow
fever infested districts of Brazil, where
hundreds were dying daily, and then
across to the Cape Verde Islands. France,
England, and Ireland. Months were con-
sumed in the search and many thousands
of dollars, all of which were supplied by
William H. Wanamaker, Marshs bonds
man, were expended in the tour.
The story of the famous trip. which
has few parallels in criminal annals was
told briefly last night by Mr.. Geyer, as
follows:
"On April IS, 1892, conference was
held in the office of Superintendent of
Police Linden. There were present Mayor
Stuart, William H. Wanamaker, John R.
Reed, Superintendent Linden, and Ben
jamin Franklin. The, latter acted in the
capacity of Mr.. Wanamaker's private de-
tective. Mr.. Wanamaker stated that he
had information from Brazil from a per-
son named Langford, who claimed to have
seen Gideon Marsh innRid Janeiro. He
wanted $1,000 to turn him up. Mr.. Wana-
maker concluded that rather than send
the $1,000 he would send detective. and
was chosen to go to South America on
the mission.
Superintendent Linden told me to get
ready to go on long trip. / thought he
wanted me to go to Portland, Ore, where
/ had located a criminal who was badly
wanted. John r. Reed also asked me to
go. I did not care for the trip, as
knew that persons were dying at the rate
of $50 day.
II wrote q letter to the superintendent,
giving my views on the subject. / had
a limited knowledge of the country, and
did not know Marsh very well. 1 con-
sented to go if they would give my wife
$4,000 life insurance policy and a S5,uv
accident policy. Mr.. Wanamaker imme-
diately consented. When the boat was
ready to sail the policy was not ready.
Mr.. Wanamaker then gave my wife
bond for $4,000 to provide for her in case
anything should happen to me. On April
% sailed from Brooklyn, on the steam
ship Martha, Capt. Ahrenkei. In order to
sail on this ship had to join as a mem
ber of the crew, as it was not licensed TO
carry passengers. l shipped as able sea-
man under the name of Frank P. Rob-
erts.
''rhe first stop that we made was at ST.

done" naively states an old geography,
land YOU have the Portuguese" This
has come to be an adage among the Eng
lish who live in Portuguese countries,
and the rule is emphasized by at least
one striking exception, says the New
York Sun.
This is in the person of Old Man Ma
deira, as he is popularly known, who lives
in the town of Mendalo, on the Island of
St Vincent, Cape de Verde group, and is
the patriarch of that far-away habitation
both in wisdom and worldly goods.
Sitting in the shady quadrangle of his
storehouses. with monkey on his knee,
this odd man watches year in and year

through the narrow passage between Bird
Rock and the huge precipice opposite.

own name in writing. Manoel Gomez Ma
deira can figure almost in the CLINT Of
an eye how much cargo any of those
ships can carry, and, what is more to
the point about how much water and
provender may be required.
Before the ship has slipped her cable,
the old mans nephew has boarded her
and taken the order, for Madeira is a
ship chandler, and owns every drop of
water on the Island of St Vincent While
the other Portuguese acknowledge, to an
extent. the superiority of the English,

with extreme independence, and when
the English coal princes desire his COOP

Madeira got possession of the entire
water supply by his own enterprise. st.

Cervera's feet harbored there en- route

New York as the crow flies, and 200 miles
off the African coast. The town of Men
dalo, with a population of 5000 blacks.
Portuguese and English, is the only town
on the island. Its entrance is a bay about
five fathoms deep, but so clear is the
water that one can see a sixpence on the
bottom.
Nearly all the vessels plying twixt Eu-
rope and South America and those which
trade between the United States and
South Africa, put in at Mendalo for coal,
water and fruit, SO that ship chandler
has plenty of custom.
When Madeira came there. thirty-fiye
years ago, and set up business as bum

The State line tavern in the northwest
part of Hammond enjoys the peculiar dis
tinction of being half in Indiana and half
in Illinois, In 1882 the eastern section was
erected by Mrs. Robert Werley and rent
ed as saloon. During 1892 the west sec
ton was added by her so as to extend
over into Illinois about twenty-five feet.
The second and third floors are used as a
hotel. There are two entrances to the
saloon on the ground floor. one from the
State of Illinois, the other and front one
from Indiana. Plummer Street runs in
front of the tavern. The location of the
structure with reference to the two
States is such that the imaginary State
line runs diagonally through the building
This peculiar feature of the two States
tavern gives it a novel precedent not en-
joyed by other places of its character. 1t
is pointed out to strangers as one of the
sights of interest in Hammond. Not a
few stop there while passing just to i'm
bibe glass of beer and undergo the sem
sation incident to the novelty of the
place. At one point in the saloon a per-
son may stand in Illinois and drink a
beer from the counter in Indiana. This
is done every day by hundreds with susto
and comment.
Another feature of this bar is the ar
rangement of the slot machines. These
money swallowing devices are placed Just
over the Indiana line. where there is no
law to stop them. In Illinois they are
under the ban, and dare not be operated.
To play them in Werley's bar, though,
one has but to step out of Illinois into
Indiana.
Again, one who has broken the law Of
this State may seek immunity from the
police by simply moving his lodging with
ont inconvenience to this tavern, and vice
versa as to Indiana. In the hotel part of
the building number of the rooms are
so arranged that person in bed lies with
part of his body in each State. And in
the course of his toilet he crosses and
recrosses the State line frequently For
instance, he shaves in Indiana, and
bathes his face and his hands in Illinois.
Or vice versa. Or where two sleep in the
same bed. in two of the rooms, one is in
one State and the other in the other.
Just west of the hotel is Mrs. Weriey's
garden. She raises vegetables in Illinois,
and consumes and sells them In Indiana
And so on ad libitum, the incidents COM
mon to both States might be observed
every day. aaf

West Franklin, Too.

West Franklin wants to have its attrac-
tions as n summer resort recognized. A
correspondent from that place writes:
while correspondents are singing
praises OF their respective towns, it must
not be forgotten that West Franklin, for
beauty OF scenery, and natural channels
OF sport, is not surpassed by any place,
and is equaled by few. Its salt water bay
affords excellent bathing, boating and
fishing, to say nothing Of bird and seal
shooting. Its fresh water lakes and
streams and winding brooks afford a
grand chance for a days outing for
lovers OF hunting or fishing. For picnic
parties numerous secluded spots can be
found for an enjoyable day.
ITO the south Mt. Desert hills are
plainly seen, while to the east Bald and
Schoodic mountains rear their lofty heads
far above the surrounding country. To
the southwest Bluehill mountain is a
prominent feature. There are numer-
Gus hills on every hand, dotted with farm
houses. The picture must be seen to be
fully appreciated"

Cunningham for Judge of probate, j..
E. Bunker, jr., for county attorney,
Perry w. Richardson for county COM
missioner, w. B. Campbell for register
of deeds, and o. W. Tapley for county
treasurer.
Messrs Knowlton, Cunningham and
Campbell have demonstrated peculiar
fitness for their respective offices by
years of faithful service, while the
other officers, now at the close of their
first term of service, have all shown
themselves efficient and faithful, and
wholly deserving of continuance in
their respective offices.
As stated above, the only contest
likely to take place is over the NOM
ination for sheriff. There are three
candidates for the office. all of them
well known throughout the county.
The candidates are Lewis F. Hooper,
James T. Cushman and Elmer l..
Kingman. Mr.. Hooper is the present
sheriff. He was a deputy sheriff
under Sheriff Patterson; he was an
unsuccessful candidate for the nomi-
nation four years ago, but two years
ago he secured the nomination and
was elected. He has proved an eff
cient officer, and seeks renomina-
ton.
Mr.. Cushman was deputy under
Sheriff Fennelly. Over his own sigma
ture he denies that he has pulled
out' of the contest, and asserts that
the current reports to that effect are
not correct. 81 am going to hope"
he says, "for the support of my old
friends and enough new ones to give
me the nomination..
Mr.. kingman is a newcomer to
Ellsworth. Until recently he has been
a resident of Hancock, where he has
held several public offices. He has
served one term in the State legisla-
ture.
With such a list of candidates for
nomination, and with such list of
candidates as will be nominated, the
republican party need have no fear of
the result at the polls in September.
