SWINGS A SANDBAG FAST.
August Suffers Part in Repelling a
Supposed Robber Band

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Six supposed high
waymen departed from the Chicago
Music hall, 102 Wells street, last night
with bruised heads and battered faces
after making what is believed to be an
attempt at robbery. During the per-
Torrance they drew reVOIVerS, but were
assailed by walters and spectators were
forced to flee. AS they were leaving
through the front door August Stutzer,
the proprietor, hit each one of them
with a sandbag. More than a score Of
persons, among them several women,
were watching the performance when
the six men entered and sat down at
two tables near the door. The enter
tainment is given in a hall on the first
floor and the bar is in the basement.
The second number of the evenings
programme was on when the six sud-
denly arose and three of them drew re-
volvers. They placed their backs
occupants escaping. The sight of the
weapons caused a commotion and
moment later the place was in an up
roar.
Before they had uttered a command
the music ceased and the supposed rob-
bers were being attacked from all sides.
Gust Wendt, a waiter, was struck on
the head by one of the highWaymen
with a revolver and sustained a severe
scalp wound Spectators seized hold Of
chairs, and although the robbers -four
ished their weapons as if to shoot, they
could not stem the attack.
Proprietor StutZer was tending bar in
the basement when he heard the COM
motion and he rushed upstairs with his
sandbag. The robbers were in the door
fighting off the crowd. Stutzer ran back
and took up a position just outside the
entrance of the hall and when the in
truders were finally forced to retreat
he wieled his weapon with telling eff
feet. He says he struck one Of them
either in the face or on the head with
his sandbag as they emerged. They
ran south in Wells street and made
their escape in Indiana street toward
the river.
Stutzer believes they entered the
place for the purpose Of robbing the au-
dience and holding him up for his re-
ceipts. Captain Revere, however, is in
clined to believe that they only meant
to precipitate a general fight. He ad-
nits that it is possible that there was
another gang who intended to
enter the saloon downstairs during the
commotion and rob the till. He does
not believe that they endeavored to
hold up the crowd.

TROOPS FOR CUBA
Will All Be Landed by November 10,
Probably.


New York, Sept. 2S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
In addition to the troops already or
dered to go to Cuba not later than Oc-
tober 20, there will follow four more di-
visions, three of infantry and one OF
cavalry.
1t is the present plan of General Miles
that these troops shall be landed in
Cuba by November 10, though an Off
cial said yesterday that he did not be-
lieve that the last would arrive before
December 1. The first troops to go
will, it is expected, witness the begin
ming of the evacuation, and they have
been hurried forward because the eVac-
uation will begin earlier than was ex-
pected.
Headquarters of the three military
departments will be in Havana, Puerto
Principe and Santiago. It is appar-
emily well settled that General Wade
will be in command of the department
of Havana. General LawtOn will re-
main where he is, as commander of the
department of Santiago, and General
Lee will, it is thought, be in command
of the central division. The whole
question will be canvassed with General
Lee when he arrives here on Friday.
Cavalry will be under the command
of General Wheeler unless he resigns to
resume his seat in congress. The cav
airy will be scattered in detachmentS at
many points.
General Miles is now selecting troops
of the remaining divisions and it is ex-
pected that they will be announced in
few DAVIS

wherein Delonc1e depicted his own
death and prophesied that he would go
down with the ship at sea.
In the statement Of the cases which
has been served upon the Compagnie
Generate Transatlantique this delusion
is alleged and it is averred that the Of
ficers of the company were aware of
the form of insanity from which Delon-
Gle suffered. The captain of La Bour-
gogne had recently lost a son who died
of brain fever and this bereavement, the
papers in the case state. further preyed
upon his mind.
A member of the firm of Kenneson,
Grain & All1ng said yesterday: I'VE
have ample evidence to prove that the
captain of La BourgOgne was victim
of decisions, and that his firm belief
that he would die as he had prophesied
made him court the tragedy of Sable
Island instead of seeking to avert it.
This, too, explains the lethargy which
pervaded the ship after the disaster and
the lack Of any attempt to save the
lives of the passengers. E. D. Lacasse,
of Plainheld, N. J., who escaped with
his wife, was formerly a French naval
officer, and was on deck at the time of
the collision. He has repeatedly said
that after La Courgogne was struck he
saw DelOncle and the second captain
on the bridge. DeloncIe never spoke a
word. He gave no order to, his sailors
and made no effort to save the lives of
the passengers. Instead of this, with
the ship sinking fast, the captain stood
transfiXed on the bridge and gazed at
the sky as if he saw there a vision.
'Lacasse saw the imminent peril of
the vessel, and his naval experience told
him that no time was to be lost. He
ran to the officers on the ship and de-
manded that they lower the life boats
and have them in the water in readi-
ness for the passengers if the ship sank
suddenly This the officers absolutely
refused to do
A representative of Judge John Dillon
whose wife persisted with La BOur-
gogne, called at the, office of Kenneson,
Craig and AIIing yesterday and confer
red with them at length on the start
ling and important disclosures brought
back from Paris and London by Mr..
Alling.
Mr.. Alling has been retained to bring
10 distinct suits against the French
company. They are now on the docket
of the United States circuit court. The
plaintiffs ask for damages averaging
$25, 900 each, making a total amount
sued for of 1875, 900.
Besides the allegations of the unfit
ness of the captain and crew of La
BourgOgne, many charges are made of
the fnadequacy of the equipments and
the unfitness of the machinery.

CAPTAIN WAS INSANE.
Disaster VIII Be Charged
to This


New York, Sept. 29.-When the many
suits pending against the Campagnie
Generate Transatlantique, growing out
of the tragedy Of La Bourgogne, come
to trial evidence will be produced to
prove that Captain Deloncle, Of La
BOurgOgne, WIS insane.
In this way KennesOn, Grain & AlIing
lawyers, who are counsel for the rela-
tives of Is of those who persisted in the
disaster, will seek to explain the mys-
ferrous circumstances that have sur
rounded the sinking of the ship and the
lack of effort on the part of officers and
crew to save the passengers.
The lawyers will make the startling
claim that the mad captain of La Bour-
gogne not only did not avoid danger
and death, but that, pursuing a delu-
sion that he and his ship were fated. he
actually cOurted the tragic end that
came. In yielding without effort to
death he had predicted he sacrificed
with himself the passengers on board.
These charges are the result of a per-
sonal investigation by Asa A. AIling,
member of the firm, who has just re-
turned from Paris and London, where
he went to talk with the survivors and
to consult with Lawless & Co., English
solicitors, who represent the owners ef
the CrOmartyshire, the vessel which
was in collision with La Bourgogne.
According to the statement of a mem
Der of the firm yesterday, evidence of
the decisions of Capt. DeIoncle is in
their possession in the form of a. book

he could not work. The women Of his
acquaintance did not come up to the
high standard he had set, so he came
to New York, where, he had heard, a
man can get any kind of a wife.
In the course of his search he met
Samuel Neumann, the keeper of a IL
quor store at No. 161 Attorney street,
who offered to get him a wife for $40.
Schuarb paid the money and the next
day was introduced to a fascinating
young woman who spoke two languages
Polish and Sheriff street-and said
she did not object to living an Corn
well.
Schuarb was smitten with the woman
and agreed to make her his better half
If Neumann would furnish an engage
ment lunch, the refreshments in con
nection Herewith to consist of two
quarts of whisky, a keg Of beer, a box
of cigars and band OF music Neu-
mann agreed to furnish the appurten-
ances demanded, and Schuarb rested in
contentment arising from the con-
seriousness that he had got his moneys
worth.
The engagement party was held IN
due time and Neumann furnished all he
had agreed to, going so far as to throw
in an extra key of beer. There was
much merriment at the party, which
Schuarb did not understand but the
consciousness that his $40 was being
put to good use overcame his jealousy
when he saw the saloon keeper take his
promised bride home.
Schuarb called upon his fiancee the
next day and she refused to be his.
The shock of losing her was great, but
the shock of losing $40 was greater He
ran to Neumann's saloon and dem and

laughed and invited him to chase him

Schuarb was contented to take the

JUDGE GIBBONS WRATHY.
Hats Attorney Forrest in the Use of
the Word ssFarcica1.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Judge Gibbons
listened to arguments yesterday relative
to the writs of habeas corpus in the
cases of Bennett Marks and Edward
Nye, who were indicted last March, to-
gether with Richard UIlman for an
alleged violation of the ''scalping act"
The matter was partially considered
last Monday, when Attorney w. s. For
rest, representing the state, asked that
the whole matter be dropped, claiming
that the decision given last July on
the motion to Quash the Indictment
against Ullman also covered the case
of the two other brokers. This position
was contrOverted by ex-Judge Prender-

given on -2le writ. Yesterdays argu-
