The BurIington's New Trains

hC Dui HuSlOh lNCW Trains
Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the LIST of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-library car with bath
and barber shop, a palace Sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The buffet-smoking-library
car is something new for Denver
Chicago line. 1t is a veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, writlng-desk
compartment for card-players,
and well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car is gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time. Leaving Denver at 9:3C
a. m. today on one of them you
are landed in Chicago at 2:l5 to-
morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for
all points east. The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twenty-seven and three-quarter
hours. Just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to February6, 1898

Key West, May 12-At about
o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Wilmington, Hudson and Winslow
were cruising off Cardenas. The
torpedo boat Winslow closed in to
i about mile and half from the
main batteries when suddenly the
bushes on shore parted and heavy
fire poured over the ship.
/. A solid shot tore through her
hull and the forward boiler blew
up. Her men did not finch and
another shot tore away her rudder.
The Hudson now steamed up
and towed her out of range, but
2 before the hawsers were fastened a
shell struck the Winslow, killing
Ensign Bagley and four gunners.
The Wilmington had now got
/, the range and opened fire but the
Spanish held her down. She bore
the brunt of the battle but was not
crippled. The Spanish batteries
were finally silenced and they adj
NIT eight men wounded.
, Key West, May 12-Later adj
vices from Cardenas state that the
commander of the Winslow, Lieut..
Brandon, was MORALLY wounded
and Ensign Bagley with four gun
ners, who were operating rapid
fire gun, were killed by the shot
that struck the Winslow as she
was being towed from the harbor.
! Bagley's body will be held at
Key West for his relatives.
AS the shot struck the Winslow
Bagley ran to the flag staff and
clasping bis arms about it, died
beneath Old Glory.

"A serious fire occurred early yester-
day morning at Neff's Siding, about
four miles west of Bellaire. The fire
entailed considerable loss, two dwell
ing houses and store room being de-
stroyed. The fire occurred shortly af-
ter midnight. Flames were seen issu-
ing from the rear of Mr.. Touget's
grocery and spread to two adjoining
dwelling houses The buildings could
not be saved, and the neighbors work.
ed industriously to save the household
goods. It is reasonably supposed that
the fire was of an incendiary origin, as
man was observed to run cut of the
store about the time the fire was dis
covered, and several packages of coffee
and other groceries were found short
distance away where the stuff is sup
posed to have been dropped by parties
who had robbed the store and then set
fire to the building. All the destroyed
buildings belonged to Mrs. Mary A.
Hall. Mrs Hall valued the property
at $500 and had only $1,000 insurance
on it. Mr.. Tongets, the grocer, had
about $500 insurance On his stock and
lost about twice this sum. There
seems to be no clue to the guilty par
ties.

On Trial for : Felony in New Jersey
First Case in His DRY.

Wilmington, Dell, July 11.-A trial
probably unprecedented in the annals
of this country, that of a member OF
the United States Senate on criminal
charge, began i'm the United States
Circuit Court in this city this after
noon before Judge Edward G.. Brad
ford. The defendant is Richard Roll
lin Kenney, Of Dover. Junior United
States Senator from Delaware, indict-
ed upon a charge Of aiding and abet-
ting William N. Boggs, who has con-
fessed to robbing the First National
Bank of Dover, of which institution he
was paying teller. of the sum of $10I.-
600. The counts in the indictment 10
which Senator Kenney has pleaded not
guilty, charge him with aiding and
abetting Boggs to the extent OF about
$500
Two men, Ezekiel T. Cooper, of Mil
ford, and Thomas S. Clark, OF Dover,
have already been convicted on similar
charges and are now serving terms OF
eighteen months and five years re-
spectively in the New Jersey peniten-
tlary.
Boggs was the principal witness for
the prosecution in each case. His story
was to the effect that the greater part
of his stealings were expended in stock
speculations and gambling, and that in
the stock speculationS the defendants
were associated with him in the par
ticipating in his deals and that they
gave him their checks when they had
no funds in the bank, Boggs taking
care OF them from the banks funds.
The high position of the defendant
drew to the court room a crowd that
damned its capacity and overlooked
into the corridor. The session began
at 2:30 O'Clock, when Senator Kenney
entered the court accompanied by his
counsel, United States Senator George
Gray and Levi c. Bird, Of this city.
The government was represented by
District Attorney Lewis c. Wander
grift.
The first witness was Harry A. Rich
ardson, president of the bank. He tes-
titled to the defalcation of Boggs and
said that Boggs admitted to him his
crime.
L. Edward Ross, of Philadelphia, an
expert accountant, who went over
the banks books, testified that the de-
falcaton amounted TO 100000. He
also said that he found that various
checks drawn by Mr. Kenney had come
to the bank and been cashed when he
had not a sufficient balance to his
credit to meet them.
E. D. Page, of Philadelphia, who
was manager for E. Cuthbert & Co,
the firm of brokers with which Boggs
conducted his stock speculations, testi-
fed that checks signed by Kenney
were used In the stock transactions.
All checks were offered in evidence,
save one for $3.50, and the defense OBJ
jected to the admission of testimony
with respect to this one. Pending de-
cision upon this subject, the court ad-
journed until tomorrow morning.

PLEASING VAUDEVILLE.
A First Glass Entertainment at the
Wheeling Park Casino.

Lovers Of high class vaudeville who
do not witness the performance of the
Metropolitan Vaudeville Company at
the Wheeling Park Casino this week
will miss a rare treat. The engage
ment was opened last night, and while
the audience was not large, it was
very appreciatiye, and it demands for
repetitons were SO persistent that near
ly every act was encored.
Louis Grorat added to the excellent
impression which he made Sunday in
his finger whistling of operate selec-
tons and marches. Miss Gladys Van
is a very pretty serio-comic, whose
action and singing fairly captivated
her audience. The foot ball act OF
Johnson, Davenport & Lorella is one
of the funniest things on the vaude-
vile stage The vocal selections OF
Miss Gertrude Rutledge served to dis
pay the splendid qualities of a
strong soprano voice. The entertain
ment concluded with the comedy
sketch Of Post & Clinton, which ap-
pealed with irresistible force to the risi-
bilities.
Lovers Of vaudeville-and their
name is legion-will have an oppor-
tunity of showing this week that they
desire entertainments of that class at
the Park Casino. The MANAGEMENT
has secured a company which is first
class in every respect and merits
patronage. 1t is for the public to say
whether it will be followed by other
vaudeville companies. Performances
will be given every evening this week,
and matiness on Wednesday and Sat
urday. Special motors will leave the
w. G e. G. station at 1880 p. M, run
ming to the Casino, and leaving the
Casino on the return trip at 1890 p. m.
