THE WORM TURNS.
Helen Gould Has a Prosecutor Ar
rested for BlackmaiL

New York, May IT. Ever since
1894 a squat old woman;
gowned, specialized harpies that go to
strangers funerals, has been annoying
the family of the late Jay Gould. She
wanted money-they all do, but that
was a small point to the Gould children.
She tried, in order to get this money, to
prove that Sarah Angel was the only
lawful wife of Jay Gould.
The squat Mrs. Cody is an ingenious
person, and while her story that her
dupe, Sarah Ann Brown Angel, was the
original and only Mrs. Jay Gould was
preposterous, it took two years of hard
fighting in the courts to prove it.
The men of the Gould family have be-
come hardened to Matchmaking and
kindred annoyances, and when the case
was settled last December in the su-
preme court they simply shrugged their
shoulders and dismissed the matter
from their minds.
Miss Helen Gould thought differently.
Her whole life shows that she is given
to deeds of charity, and she can forgive
unto seven times seven. But the bru-
tai and wanton attack on her dead
fathers character as a husband and a
father reused her as only a woman of
her nature can be reused.
Her first question to her lawyer after
the welcome verdict came was: How
can the woman be punished?"
De Lancey Nicol1 set himself to work
and, as a result, the Cody woman was
arrested at Twenty third street and
Lexington avenue yesterday
She was apprehended on request from
Albany, and two policemen from that
city will take her there this morning.
The charge against her is black mail,
and it is based on the letters she sent
to Miss Helen Gould before and during
the trial.
Mrs. Cody is 81 years old, and almost
any sentence will mean life" to her,
but old as she is, she still has capabili-
ties for mischief. Papers in her pocket
showed that she had interested one
Robert Sheppard Northridge, of Burl-
ingtOn, VT, in that effective old bunco
game of the waiting fortune in the
attorney from Northridge, and said she
share of $3.50, 600 900 lying in the bank
vaults. How much Mr.. Northridge is
'in for'' is an interesting question.
There were other papers in her pOck-
ct, but the police refused to say what
they were. There has been a rumOr
lately that Mrs. Cody, who has loudly
announced at various times that John
w. Mackay owed her 800, 900, has been
bothering Clarence Mackay, thinking
that he would, on the eve of his we'd
ding, buy her off rather than have any
annoyance. The Mackays refuseda to
talk about this last night, and the .po-
lice would not allow Mrs. Cody to talk.
Mr.. Nicoll intimates that Mrs Cody
will not be the only person punished for
the attempt to blackmail the Goulds.
He said that the family would follow all
persons in the Angel case until they
has been clearly proven to be Cody

PAUR TO SUCCEED SEIDL.
Chosen Conductor of the Philhar-
monte Society.

New York, May 1.-THE annual meet
ing of the Philharmonic Society was
held yesterday morning. The much
discussed question of the leadership of
the Philharmonic orchestra for next
season, the fifty-seventh of the society
was settled by the election of Emil
Paur, formerly leader of the Boston
Symphony orchestra, to the position.
Mr.. Paur thus becomes, to this extent
at least, the successor of Anton Seidl.
Officers of the society were reelected as
follows: President, E. Francis Hyde;
vice president, Richard Arnold; secre-
tary, A. Roebbelen; treasurer, H
Schmitz.
Emil Paur has been for five years
conductor of the Boston Symphony or
chestra, and his work and qualifications
as a conductor have been observed here
in the five concerts annually given in
New York by the Boston organization.
His resignation from it was announced
a, few days ago, coupled with the infOr-
nation that he would be succeeded by
Wilhelm Gericke, who was conductor of
the Boston Symphony orchestra from
1884 to 1889.
Mr.. Paur is 43 years old. He was
born in Czernowitz, town in the Aus
trian province of Buckowyna, and
showed early musical talent, which
was we'll cultivated. His family moved
to Vienna when he was still a boy, and
he studied music at the Vienna conser-
vatory, where his teacher in the violin
was Hel1meSberger, in theory Bruckner.
and in the piano Epstein, and where he
took a first prize. His first essay as a
conductor was made in Berlin success
fully, and he received an appointment
as conductor at Cassel at the same
time continuing his study of the piano,
taking lessons of Won Bulow at Han
over. In 1879 he was made conductor
of the opera at Konigsberg, where, how
ever, he remained only about a year.
He went thence to Mannheim, and con-
Quoted not only the opera, but a series
of concerts there for nine years; he also
appeared as a solo performer on both
the violin and piano. In 1889 he was
summoned to Leipsic, to become Mix
isch's successor as conductor of the Mu-
nicipal opera there. There he remained
until he was engaged by Mr.. Higginson to
succeed Nickisch again, this time as
conductor of the Boston Symphony or
chestra, in 1893.
Mr.. Paur in 1881 married Marie Burg
er, pianist, who has appeared several
times professionally in Boston since her
husbands engagement there. They have
several children.

DRUMMED OUT OF CAMP.
Five Privates at Camp Black Publicly
Declared towards

New York, May 17.-Five privates
were today drummed out of New York
state service at Camp Black for refus-
ing to sign the United States muster
roll after passing the physical examin-
alton
ice and were all hooted out of the camp
after the buttons were cut from their
uniforms. their stripes removed and the
decorations ripped from their hats Ser
geant John Hobson forgot to issue
passes to two of them and they are still
skulking like coyotes about the borders
of the camp.
They will probably have to walk to
their homes in Whitehall, N. Y, where
doubtless a warm reception will be Civ
en- them when the facts leak out.

GALTEE MORE SOLD.
Said to Have Been Bought by Russia
for G25,OOO.

London, May 17-It is asserted here
that the Russian government has pur-
chased the celebrated Irish bred race
horse Galtee More for &25, 600.
Galtee More was bred by John Cub
bins, an Irish sportsman. The animal
was the first Irish horse to win the
English Derby, and is one of the seven
horses that have won the so-called
Triple Classic Crown" of the English
st. Leger. He is regarded by compe-
tent judges as one of the best horses
of the century.
Last autumn it was reported that the
Hungarian government had purchased
the horse for 100000, but this was err
roneous. Mr.. Gubbins intimated at the
time that he had no intention of part
ing with the horse on any terms.

A 8 paniard Reveals Tt to His EN-
p1oyer at Philadelphia

Philadelphia, May 1.-THE war de-
partment has been notified of an alleged
plot discovered here to assassinate Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee. Here is the story as
told here:
Believing the gallant Virginian to be
responsible for the war, a cabal of New
York Spaniards have determined that
he must die. The details of the plot
were made known to the United States
recruiting officer in this city yesterday
by a Delaware county fruit grower
whose former employee, a Spaniard, in
formed him Of the contemplated muir
der, saying that he had left New York,
fearing he would be the person desig-
mated to do the killing.
The Delaware county man met the
Spaniard on the street in this city.
They talked about the war, which the
American said he deprecated on ac-
count of the loss of life that is sure to
ensue.
st am sorry, too" remarked the Span
lard, land don't want to see any of it.
I left New York because they are put
ting up a job there to kill Consul Gen
eral Lee. We Spaniards hold him re-
sponsible for all this trouble, and the
New York cable is going to make way
with him before he gets into Cuba with
his army. Spies are now watching for
him, and I made up my mind that if 1
stayed IN New York would nave to
help to kill Lee, or be called a coward,
and might be killed myself. I am going
out into the country to get work.
As soon as they parted the fruitman
hunted up a government officer and not
finding him at his desk, stated to the
clerk who he was and said he would
write as soon as he returned home. A
letter was received today by the officer
describing the Spaniard, giving his
name and adding that the fellow seemed
very earnest in what he said about not
wanting anything to do with the plot
The Spaniards believe Lee-not Pres
ident McKinley-to be responsible for
all this trouble, and assert that the
statements of Gen. Lee about conditions
in Havana were lies.
The army officer has investigated the
matter and finds that the writer, whose
letter bears the printed address of him
self and his business on the heading, is
a responsible man. He has forwarded
the letter to Secretary AIger.

We're Too High and the COun-
Gil Refused Them.
SOME TALK is MADE
Of Reducing the Size Of the
Auditorium.
Why Not Raise the Size of the
Subscription.
The Building Must Be Large
Enough For ExpOsitiOns.

The opening of the auditorium bids
at the council Monday evening was
productive of no fruitful results and
all the bids were rejected. The trouble
is that all the bids were above the es-
innate of the city engineer.
The estimate was $31, 053, inclusive of
seating and $31, 300, inclusive of both
seating and plumbing.
The bids which included neither seat
ing nor plumbing were as follows:
J. B. Belts. Observation-Disclosures , 10S
Thomas H. Bowers .............. 81, 500

Two bids on plumbing were received
as follows:
Prescott & So, 9S5. 90
Wood Plumbing Co..... 46S3. rs
After the bids had been read Mayor
Fellows said: Il do not see that there
is anything to do but reject the bids as
they are all above the estimate. The
estimate was made before we had war
prices
Edward Wilder, who was the only
member Of the auditorium association
present, said: eff you can not let the
matter go over without action suppose
there is nothing to do but reject the
bids. 1t seems to me that there will
be nothing left but to reduce the size
of the building am of the opinion
that a building that will seat 1000 peO-
pie is large enough. Making the plans
for a building to accommodate 5000
people was a compromise with those
who wanted one large enough for 10000.
This is a matter that can be settled by
the auditorium association"
At the suggestion of Mayor Fellows,
the bids were referred to the auditor
ium association.
The ordinance providing for the
sweeping of the sidewalks before eight
o'clock in the morning was killed by

morning but it did good.
Councilman Burgess is an early riser
and he often experienced the disagree
able sensation of having his eyes filled
with dust by a careless and tardy
sweeper and at last he became desper-
ate and introduced an ordinance to cure
the evil
The council straightway threw up it's
hands with horror and an adverse re-
port by the judiciary committee was
unanimously adopted without discus
sion.

CHAPTER X.

That night the rifers, seven COM
panies, were whirled away by special
train to the rescue of the railway
shops and roundhouses at Cimmaron
Springs, hundred miles to the north.
One of those unaccountable manias that
prompt men to appropriate other peo-
pies property had seized upon the en-
ployes of the road. The Valley division
had been forced to abandon all trains,
and it was only question of time, said
the ringleaders, when the Mountain di-
vision would follow suit. Passenger
and cattle, fruit and freight trains were
blockaded. The mails, sent through at
first with a single car, were presently
belated, then blocked entirely, and
Uncle Sam, who had been showing his
teeth for twenty-four inches, now
showed his hand. In the old days of
Sedgwick it was the cavalry that was
perpetually being hustled off on the
warpath. leaving the infantry to hold
the fort, but of late the Indians had
kept the peace and the cavalry the post
Then came the sudden outbreak of
trouble on an eastern road, the swift
assurance of sympathy from brethren
in the west, and then a strike that
speedily established the fact that there
were still sayages in the valley Of the
Bravo, for men who tried to stand to
their duty were kicked and battered
into pulp, and helpless women and chill
dren were burned out of house and
home.
The colonel was in no wise eager to
go on any such mission. He kept at
the metaphorical front, but the actual
rear, of his men, secure in the pre-
caution that cool-headed Capt. Hayne
was forward on the pilot of the en-
gine. If the trestle work were sawed
away or bridges burned at inconvenient
points, Hayne would not be apt to let
the train stumble into the pitfall. 1t
was nearly dawn before the special
reached Santa Fe Junction, but the
rihers marched thither soon after mid
night, leaving many weeping wives at
home. They had not the stoicism OF
those women long schooled in such
calamities-the ladies Of the cavalry.
