REMARKABLE
Is the Story Brought to Light by
an Arrest at Washington City,
Yesterday.

WASHINGTON October 15.-Adel-
bert w. Cox, for several years prior to
October a member of the Washington
police force, and Eta Williams, a young
woman with whom he lived, were ar
rested yesterday morning by Detectives
Miller and Peck, charged with the lar
ceny of $500 from James A. Stewart,
55 years old, and for long time
clerk in the general land Office.
Back of this formal charge, according
to the police, is most remarkable
story. Stewart disappeared from his
boarding house September 9th, and for
four weeks an unayailing search was
made for him. He was finally found in
the attic Of the house where Cox and
the Williams woman lived, in a state of
collapse and almost demented from
the effects of drugs which it is alleged
had been administered to- him by the
pair under arrest Stewart was taken
to the hospital, and though at first his
life hung by thread, he recovered in
about ten days. He is widower with
married daughter living in Annapo-
lis, Nd, and roomed alone in Washing
ton. He left his rooming place Sep
TENDER 9Th to make call and for
weeks no trace Of him could be found.
Finally the police gained clue by
learning as the result Of inquiry at all
the local banks that he had 1915 on de-
post with the Washington Loan and
Trust Company. All of this amount,
save ten dollars, they ascertained, had
been drawn out of checks payable to
bearer and signed by Stewart and en-
dorsed by Adelbert w. Cox.
The first checks were clearly writ
ten, but the latter ones were in
weak and almost illegible hand. Cox
had explained this at the Trust COM
pany's Office, saying the old man was
rapidly failing in health. With this
clue the detectives found Stewart in
the garnet of a house where Cox lived.
He had had hardly any food for a
month. He said he had called on Sep
tember 9Th on Cox and the Williams
woman, who formerly boarded where
he did. They sent out for some liquor
and after that he remembered things
only in a vague way. On his state
ment the police arrested Cox and his
paramour on a charge of larceny, pend
ing investigation and consideration OF
the making of more serious charges.
Both prisoners secured bail in $1,000
each. Cox was compelled to resign
from the police force a short time ago
because of his relations with the Will
Jams woman, and suit for divorce
brought by his wife. He denies having
held Stewart a prisoner. Cox says that
Stewart went to Atlantic City in Sep
TENDER with two women and about
5000 in cash, and when he returned he
said he had been robbed and beaten at
the seashore. At Stewards request he
was permitted to use a room in the
house where he (CoX) lived, and was
cared for by Miss Williams. Stewart,
Cox says, appeared to be afraid his
whereabouts would be ascertained by
relatives. All the money drawn from
the bank in Stewards name had been
given tn him

DISORDER In HAVANA.

Line Drawn.
HAVANA, October I5-A negro and
two Cubans became engaged in a dis
pute in a cafe and one of the Cubans
raised the color question. The negro
replied to the Cuban's remarks and an
other Cuban named Acosta drew q
knife and stabbed the colored man.
Acosta then ran into the street and
entered neighb0ring house, into
which he was followed by policeman,
who attempted to arrest him. Acosta
attempted to stab the policeman, but
the officer drew his pistol and shot him
dead. A crowd Immediately gathered
about the place and when the facts be-
came known, divided, the negroes on
one side and the whites on the other.
Much rancor and i'll feeling is express
ed by the negroes against the whites.
Ell Diario de La Marina says that
Mayor Lacostes order regarding the
Spanish flag has served forcibly to re-
mind the Spaniards- of their utter lack
of personal guarantees under the exist
ing conditions and that the prudent,
silent resignation Of the Spanlards,
far from being appreciated, has only
served to encourage the rabble, not
only in Havana but in many towns IN
the interior to further and more glarinG
acts of injustice, outrage, coercion
and intimidation.
Ell Diario also says it has just received
word that a number of merchants at
Guines have been compelled TO aban-
don their property and seek safety
elsewhere

NEW YORK, October 15.-Whether
the championship fight between Jeffries
and Sharkey will be held as scheduled
on October 9th, or postponed on ac-
count Of the champion having a strain
ed arm, will not be definitely settled
until Tuesday morning. Sharkey is OF
the opinion that the arm is not much
hurt and thinks Jeffries has some other
reason for not wanting to fight on Oc-
tober 9th. O'Rourke says: Il believe
Jeffries will be able to use his arm in
three days as well as he ever did in his
life, and he must either fight or forfeit

which was burned to the waters edge
early yesterday morning at Sands
Point, R. l., are the twisted and black

will be some days before these can be
reached. Theseare supposed to be in the
forward part Of the hulk, where the
crews men were imprisoned by the
fire. No attempt was made to recover
any of the bodies to-day and the debris
still gave forth smoke, but the work
will be commenced tomorrow.
The bodies of the woman and little

BANANAS.


Copyright, 1899, by Walker B. Guild.)
BANANAS.
It is only within the last few years
that the epicure has learned that bana-
mas are good cooked as well as raw
and that they are quite as palatable as
a vegetable as they are in the form OF a
dessert. AS a vegetable they are par
ticularly good when served with brolled
or fried chicken, or sweetbreads. They
are too sweet to be an agreeable ac-
compartment to a piece de resistance.
BAKED BANANAS.
Choose very firm bananas for this
dish. Remove strip of skin from the
side of each banana and lay the fruit
peeled side uppermost-in baking pan.
Sprinkle with water, cover closely and
bake until tender-half an hour should
suffice. Remove the skin, lay the
baked bananas on warm dish, and
pour over them a white sauce. Serve
very hot.
FRIED BANANAS.
Peel the bananas and set on the ice
until very cold. Cut each banana in
half, lengthwise, and saute in melted
butter in an agate-lined frying pan.
Care must be taken that the fruit does
not stick to the bottom of the pan.
BANANA ROLLS
Peel. and cut bananas in half, cross
wise. Dip each half in beaten egg, and
roll in fine cracker-erumbs until thor
oughly coated. Set in the ice box for
two hours. then fry in deep, boiling fat.
SLICED BANANAS.
Lay the fruit in the ice until very
cold, cut into slices and serve at once
with sugar and rich cream.
BANANA CREAM.
In a double1boiler heat a cup of
cream to which you have added pinch
of soda. Sweeten slightly and thicken
with a heaping teaspoonful of corn
starch dissolved in a gill of cold milk.
Keep warm over hot water-stirring oc-
casionally to prevent lumping-while
you nearly fill bowl with alternate
layers of sliced bananas and very thin
slices of sponge cake-the latter mois-
tened slightly with milk. When the
bowl is three-quarters full, pour over
the contents the thickened cream and
set aside to get very cold. Fill the
bowl with sweetened whipped cream,
heap 1t high, and serve.
BANANA FRITTERS.
Whip three eggs very light and beat
into them a cup of milk and cup Of
flour that has been sifted with tea
spoonful of baking powder and a salt
spoonful of salt. Cut six bananas into
stmall bits, stir these into the batter,
and drop by the spoonful into deep
boiling fat. When golden brown, drain
in a eolander lined with tissue paper.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve
hot.
BANANA FROTH.
Whip a cup of cream stiff. Rub
enough bananas through a fine sieve to
make cup Of pulp, and beat this at
once into the whipped cream, add four
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and
beat to frothy mass. Line a glass
dish with almond macaroons, fill it
with banana cream, and sprinkle this
generously with tiny bits of crystallized
cherries, citron and blanched and
minced almonds. Serve at once. OF
course, the fruits and nuts must be
minced and made ready before the
preparation of the banana cream is be-
gun. MARION HARLAND.

looked over the 'depots and surroundings,
and also the place on the MCGOWAN

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, May 25.-Transactions in
stocks. were on a larger scale and trad
ing showed more animation than for
several days past. There was evidence
of a considerable outside interest in the
market. especially in railroad stocks.
But operations continued in a very
large part in professional hands.
1t was conflict between the bulls
and bears for supremacy and the bulls
easily had the best of it. There were
several conditions that aroused appre-
hension on the part of the bears and
they showed a disposition to cover short
contracts from the outset. Apparently
there had been a quiet picking up of
stocks for the long account in the re-
cent depression and the holders were
as willing to take profits, if they could
get them, as the shorts. They proceed
ed therefore to bid up the market and
induced an active covering movement
for both accounts.
The decision of the stock exchange
to keep closed over a double holiday
from the coming Saturday until We'd
nesday, was motive for closing up ac-
counts, both long and short. The mar
ket hesitated only momentarily at the
opening, at which time low prices for
the day were made in nearly all cases
and then moved quite strongly and
confidentially upwards. There were oc-
casional pauses and set-backs and some
irregularity and a realizing movement
in the late dealings brought prices gem
orally below the high level, but very
substantial net gains remained in near
ly all cases. 1t has been obvious for
several days that the short interests
were becoming rather unWieldy and a
premeditated attempt was made to
take the market away from the shorts
previous to the coming holiday. Some
of the factors which assisted the bulls
were the excellent reports of railway
earnings for the third week in May,
which continued to be received this
morning. This was especially true Of
the Southwestern roads Of which the
shorts were rather free sellers yester-
day.
The rather buoyant tendency Of the
wheat market on continued crop scares
was therefore ignored and the Changers
and Southwesterns were quite freely
bought. Reports were circulated with
the appearance OF authenticity that the
dividend disbursements for the current
period on the Atchison preferred stock
had been practically decided upon. The
shorts who had sold on this were there
fore driven to cover.
The passage Of the modified Ford
franchise BILL ameliorating the cOndi-
tions imposed upon New York munich
pal corporations lifted that group OF
stocks quite markedly. Lon
don was buyer OF stocks

to a moderate extent and this
was an influence in the easier tone of
sterling exchange, which relieved some
slight apprehension of possible gold ex-
ports. Sugar and the Coalers were
easily manipulated for rise by the
bulls and there were evidences of
strength in Southern Pacific and Cen
trail Pacific.
