hiding until Sunday night, when tug

bore them away to Cuba, Col. Emilio
Nunez being in charge of the steam

the real commander and color is given
this rumor by the fact that when the
men left here they were in charge of
Col. Lechuga. who was first lieutenant
of the personal staff selected by SAN
gully when he failed to get away from
Jacksonville. Superintendent Gaylor,
his son and another Pinkerton man have
been here looking for Sanguilly. they
believing he was somewhere near 1t is
alleged that the Cubans have sent San.

him in the United States. The de-
tectives are totally ignorant of the de.
parture OF this expedition.
1t is understood 5000 rifles, 5000
pounds of dynamite, 10000 rounds Of

MRS. BOTKTN'S FIGHT.
Writ of Habeas Corpus ReturnaDle
Monday.-Woman In Custody
nFT,noa
of Lees.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. l2.-The
warrant for the extradition of Mrs. Cor
della Bothin for the murder of Mrs. John
P. Dunning and her sister, Mrs. Joshua
Deane, at Dover, D,l., was placed in
Chief of Police Lees hands yesterday.
To prevent the extradtion of the accused
woman. her attorneys went before Judge
Hawley of the United States District
Court, to apply for writ of habeas
corpus.
Judge Hawley refused to entertain the
plea, saying that too much time was be-
inc wasted in frivolous tactics, and sug-
gested that the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals be petitioned, thus
avoiding long delay. ,
4 Mrs. Botkin's attorney then appealed
t. Judge Cook, who issued the desired
papers. The new writ was directed to
Detecti;e McVey of Delaware. This
was done, in order to prevent Chief oi
Police Lees eurning the prisoner over to
the eastern detective, who could get out
OF the state with his charge.
The new writ was made returnable on
Monday, when number OF other judges
probably will sit with Judge Cook.
Mrs. Botkin was ordered into the Gus
tody of Chief of Police Lees. Her attor'
neys now announce that they will not
take the case to the Supreme Court until
every other avenue has been tried.

An Astounding OFFER
Wilmington City Railway Go.
Asks to Pay Part Of Nephi
Linsey's Funeral Expenses.
INSULTING OFFER REFUSED
Diffenderfer Crazed With
Grief.-Railway Co. Will Find That
the Boys Life Was Worth More
Than the Expenses of a
Funeral.

An astounding proposition has been
made by the Wilmington City Passenger
Railway Company.
1t has made startling offer to the
father of Nephi Linsey, the boy who
was killed by car No. 2 on Monday.
1t has offered to pay part Of the
funeral expenses.
A representative of the Railway
Company went to the Linsey home on
West Second street, and speaking to
Mr.. Linsey said that the company felt
it to be their duty to help bury the
boy.
This latest epoch in the horrible muir
der of Is years old Nephi Linsey is
without parallel. Having killed the boy
by reason OF it's policy of economy" the
railway company went to the father and
offered as settlement for the boys death
to pay part of the funeral expenses. The
policy continues to be a murderous one.
Mr. Linsey refused the offer OF the
Railway Company, telling it's representa-
tive that he was able to bury his child
without their assistance.
The policy adopted by the company OF
having all the moneys in the possession
of the company turned into the dividend
account has brought to the Linsey home
insult and death.
In order that owners may ENJOY
large dividend the cars OF the company
go rushing through the streets without
tenders or defence of any kind against
possible accident and death. When the
policy brought about the death OF
Nephi Linsey, the company learn
ing that the boys father was poor
man concluded that he was unable to
bring suit and offerd a settlement which
insufted the man and embittered all who
heard of it.
But the death OF Nephi Linsey will not
down and the Wilmington City Passen-
ger Railway Company will yet pay dear
for their negligence. Mr.. Llnsey CON
sidered the loss OF his bright-eyed boy
worth more than the cost of the funeral
and this will be well-known to the COM
pany yet.
Horace B. Diffenderfer, the conductor
who had charge of the Car which killed
the boy, is lying at his home Frustrated
by the shock. He raves over the horrl-
bic accident, wringing his hands contini-
uaIly, His condition is considered serl-
Gus.
The boy will be laid at rest today in
Mount Salem cemetery at 2 O'Clock, and
in bis grave will lay another victim OF
the criminal negligence of the officials OF
the Wilmington City Passenger Railway
Company.

WTIMINGTON DELAWARE, THURSDAY. OCTOBER Ii, 1895
SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
william MedhOldt Claims $4,000
as the Result of a Dispute Over
Building Line.

As soon as Edgar Hounsfield comes
within the jurisdiction OF the Superior
Court OF New Castle county service will
be served on him in suit for $40, 900
damages which has been brought by
William Medholdt, through his attorney
William S. Hilles.
Hounsfeld claims that the fence erect
ed by Medholdt as the dividing line be-
tween the Medholdt and Hounstield
properties actually takes in about three
feet of the Hounsfeld property. He
bases his claim to that three feet upon
continued possession for at least twenty
years and not upon any fee simple deed
to the property in dispute.
The property was formerly in the Gill
pin estate. So many feet of it, with a
frontage Of 100 feet on Delaware avenue,
was sold to Edgar Hounsfield, trustee.
One Of the properties was sold to Mr..
Medholdt in partition proceedings, and
he got his line from the city surveyor
and also from Mr.. Hatton, and there is
no conflict between the deeds OF Houns-
field and of Medholdt, simply the fence
had been changed from where it ought
to have been to an improper place, two
feet, three or four inches at the front,
and scarcely rnything at the back. :.
"Medholdt's title to the property is
all right" Mr.. Hilles says, land Houns-
field has no possible claim to it of any
kind. The only purpose Of putting up d
sign would be to injure the sale OF the
property by Mr.. Medholdt, and Mr.
Medholdt has brought suit against Mr.
Hounsfeld, which suit he proposes te
push to a conclusion, and just the mo
ment Mr.. Hounsfeld will come near thiF
jurisdiction, he will be served with the
process. The whole purpose OF the ad
vertisement is to force Mr.. Medholdt tc
pay Mr.. Hounsfeld for land which
Hounsfeld doesn't own and to which h
has absolutely no title" James W
Ponder is representing Mr.. Hounsheld
