SUIT AGAINST NAVAL MEN.
Seeks to Recover Stock Valued at
$4,000 From Lieut. Ripley
and Others.

Chicago, April Lieut.. Charles S.
Ripley, J. Stedman and Capt. E. Mar
shall were defendants in suit yester-
day before Judge HOldom for the re-
coVery of mining stock valued at SIC, 900.
The plaintiff was John r. Eldred of the
Newport Or. ID Herald. The defend
ants are officials of the American Min
ing company.
Eldred claimed that he had been in
terested in promoting the mining COM
pany and that in return for his services
and certain amount of money he in
of stock in the association. Having got
and then, he said, Lieut.. Ripley started
an attachment suit against him in Mil
waukee without giving him notice, Sc
curing a Judgment for $212. On this at
tachment, he testified, the 113, 900 shares,
valued at $40, 900, were sold, Ripley bid
ding them in for the amount of the
judgment.
Lieut.. Ripley gained considerable fame
during the great hurricane in the har-
Dor of Samoa several years ago, when
a number of American ships were
wrecked. He was an officer in the navy
and received the thanks of congress for
his behavior during the trouble. Lieut..
Ripley's troubles just previous to the
late war in getting left on shore when
he was a lieutenant on the Marblehead
caused him to be retired on pay. Capt.
Marshall is also of the navy. Stedman
was in charge of the United States
naval exhibit at the Omaha exposition.
The case will be resumed this morning.

New York, April 1--Senator-eleet
William A Clark of Montana, nifty
times a millionaire is withal prudenr
man. This characteristic of the money
king who is building nineteenth CEN
tury palace in Fifth avenue, is illus
trated in the method he adopts of cross
ing the Atlantic with his family.
For the protection of his princely for
tune and the prevention of legal en-
tangIements, to insure the succession
properly of his millions, and to guard
against the possible loss by shipwreclS
of more than one member of his family.
the senator decided that only one Clark
should cross on the same vessel
Four members of the family of the
Montana man have set sail for Europe
within the month. Every one Travelled
on a different ship. This avoidance OF
the risk of an entire family perlShing at
the same time is also said to be observed
by the Rothschilds, while the late Jesse
Seligman and his brother, the bankers
of this city, never rode together on the
same elevated train.
The record of sailing shows that Miss
X. Clark the millionaire's daughter,
with her maid, had the captains room
on the North Gerrnan-Lloyd liner Traves
which sailed from New York for South
ampton and Bremen on March z. G. W.
Clark, the senator's son and his wife,

he was wounded in both lungs. His
horse, being shot, fell upon him, crush
ing his right leg. In endeavoring to
crawl to the Cubans, a party of Span
iards captured him; but Fred's ready
wit served him a good turn. Immediate
ly he told them that he was an Ameri-
can and had Joined the Cuban army,
but had all he wanted of it and had
come over to the Spaniards. 1t was at
this time that President Mckinley is
sued his first message. The Spaniards,
being quieted by it's pacific tone and
believing Fred's story, allowed him to
leave the island.
On reaching the United States, owing
to his wounded cor dition, he was obliged
to go to a hospital, where he remained
for some time When hostilities with
Spain broke out he offered his services
and was commissioned as colonel of the
Twentieth Kansas. While the regiment
was at San Francisco, previous to de-
parting for Manila, the doughty colonel
surrendered for the first time, but this
time it was to Cupid. His beautiful
bride accompanied him to Manila where
his friends have since been watching his
course. When the news came of his
gallant conduct it was no surprise to
them.

SOUTHERN
LYNCHERS.
Fifteen Prominent Citizens of
Lake City, s. c.,
To Be Put on Trial Next Week
For Murder OF
A NEGRO POSTMASTER,
His Infant Child and Burning
the POstOffice.
First Prosecution by Federal
Government in Such Case.

Charleston, S. c., April 1.-Fifteen
prominent citizens of Lake City, S. C..
will be put on trial here in the United
States circuit court next week to an
swer the charge of having lynched Post
master frazer B. Baker, more than a
year ago. Besides killing the postmas-
ter, who was a negro the alleged lynch
ers will have to answer for killing Ba-
ker's infant child and for burning the
Lake City postoffice with all its effects.
1t is said here that other arrests viii
be made before the case is taken up
The indictment will go to the grand
jury and the hearing will begin at once.
Eighty witnesses for the government
have been summoned and there is a
great array of witnesses for the de-
Tense
This Is the first time on record that
the federal government has come into
the south to take up a lynching trial
The murder of Baker was probably the
most brutal crime known in the history
of the state. Baker was appointed
postmaster at Lake City and before he
took charge of the office he was warmed
to keep away. He refused and an at
tempt was made to kill him soon after
his commission was received This fall
ed and then a regular band was organ
lied to put him out of the way.
Defendants in this celebrated case
are: Ezra Mcknight, w A. Webster.
M. v. Ward, H. c. Goodwin, c. ]. Joiner.
Oscar Kelly, Edwin Rodgers, Alonzo
Rodgers, Henry Stokes, Allen Belk, Van
Somerford, E. P. Lee, J. P. NEWMAN
and Marion Clark. They are represen-
tatiVe business men from the Lake City
section. Marion Clark was formerly the
editor of a newspaper in that town.
Stokes was a deputy United States
marshal in Georgia some years ago apd
the other prisoners are merchants ana
farmers.
According to the testimony given at
the preliminary hearing by Newham
and Lee who turned states evidence,
the Lake City band of lynchers was or
ganized for the special purpose of kill
ing Baker. The negro had refused to
leave town and give up the office The
white people rebelled at the idea OF a
coIOred postmaster.

CIVIL SERVICE ORDER.
Of the President Will. Soon Re Made
Public-Bars Let Down Some.

Washington, April lit will be good
news to the patriots who are willing to
serve Uncle Sam at good round sum
to know that the presidents civil SER
vice order will soon be made public.
This order has been held up for more
than a year, but at last the president
has signified his intention to make it
public-thus getting it off his hands.
The president is not half as anxious,
however, to get rid of this troublesome
order as those who are seeking office,
if the number of inquiries which have
been received about it is a criterion
Before the president left for the south
he referred to members of the cabinet
the recommendations they had made as
to exceptions from the classified list of
the civil service.
Few changes were suggested, how
ever and those which will be made will
be in the hands of the president within
a week, when it is believed the order
will be made public and the bars let
down to a limited extent.

FOR THE FAIR WEDDING.
The Decorations Will Be Most Costly
and Beautiful.

New York, April 1.-Those who will
make up the comparatively small COM
pany of guests at the home of Mrs.
Hermann Oelrichs, to witness the Van
derbilt-Fair wedding, will look upon a
scene of rare beauty in the setting for
this interesting event. The wedding is
to be simple, so far as a house cere-
mOny, absence of a large bridal party,
and restricted invitation list can make
it, but in point of floral decorations the
arrangements are on a scale of ella abor-
ate beauty.
Yards upon yards Of wire netting, on
which asparagus vine, Smiiax, and flow
ering shrubs Of the rarest varieties will
cling, will cover the sides and roof of
the conservatory. Near the interhall
of the conservatory, and midway of its
width, is a large fountain, in front Of
which the altar and prie dieu are to be
placed, before which the marriage GER
emony will be performed. With the day.
light shut out by the thick foliage, the
illuminat tiOn necessary to bring out the
beauties of this floral bower will be
furnished by tiny electric bulbs, which
will be scattered through the foliage.
Rose trees II feet high will be arranged
to form an aisle. From just below their
spreading tops white ribbon will be fes-
tooned.
In these trees, that are to tower above
the heads of the guests, will be no less
than As, 900 of the new Dewey" roses.
In addition to the list already made
known of magnificent presents sent

others. Mrs. c. B. Alexander's gift is
a long chain of gold, set alternately

IN AWE OF UNITED STATES
President of Nicaragua Exercises Dis
elimination In Making Arrests.

New Orleans, April 1.-Advices from
Bluefields, Nicaragua, under date of
March 25, tell of the wholesome erect
of the determined stand taken by this
government in the protection of its
citizens abroad, on the petty dictator,
Gen. Torres, now in control of that
coast. He has been arresting hundreds
of natives for alleged participation In
the Reyes revolution and when asked
why he did not arrest some Americans
who were supposed to have taken a
leading part, he replied:
II would like to very much, but Hon
duras tried that sort of thing and man
aged to get into serious trouble"
The news OF the ordering of Samp-
sons fleet to Porto Cortez had only Just
reached Bluef1elds and it had the effect
of causing a relaxation in the iron rule
of Torres. He had ordered all mer-
chants to pay over to him again the
amount of duties paid to the revolu-
tionary government and refused re-
course to the courts. Now he has decid-
ed to allow the courts to settle the
question. The reported uprising at
Castillo turns out to have been nothing
but a frolic of drunken soldiers. There
is a great scarcity of laborers on the
coast and the fruit is suffering.
Torres is drafting all the natives into
the army or arresting them as revolu-
tioniSts. Those he cannot catch, have
taken to the jungles.
Gen. Reyes, who led the recent revo-
luton and who has been in New Or
leans for two weeks will leave for Bocas
del Toro today. He has had enough of
revolutions for awhile.

Colonel Funston, always at the front,

Funston of Kansas, is about the size
of Gen. Joe Wheeler and seems to pos

qualities.
Fred Funston has figured in many ex-

he stands as a type of Yankee pluck
and ingenuity. Being connected with
the agricultural department, he has
twice been sent, for botanical purposes,
to Alaska In the latter expedition, af
ter his companions had aided him in
building a canoe, he made alone the
perilous trip of 1900 miles down the
Yukon river. Nearing the end of his
journey, the boat capsized and he strug-
gled for life in the icy water. He sue
ceeded in saving himself, only to be
threatened with death from cold and
starvation; but fortunately he came
across a missionary outpost. AS it was,
he nearly died of pneumonia, and de-
clared that he would never again takee
part in any dangerous undertaking.
But his adventurous spirit led him to
Cuba. There he enlisted in the insurgent
army and served under Gems Gomez

Manila, April 1.-7:30 p. m.-The
American forces commanded by Gem
Macarthur are resting at Malolos to-
day. The men are in good condition,
considering the fatigues of the cam
paign.
The plans of the insurgents, If they
have any, are conjectural. Considerable
Filipino forces have been collected along
the fronts of Gen. Lawton and Gen.
Hall, who are holding the line from the
waterworks to La Lonia. There is
shooting nightly along this line, appar-
emily for the purpose of breaking the
Americans sleep.
Consequently Gen Lawton has de-
tailed five sharpshooters from each
company to attend to the insurgents
and the Americans are picking off num-
bers of them.
It is reported that 5000 of the enemy
under Pillar are concentrated at Cainta
and Tatay.
Gen King this morning sent out a
accommodating party of two COM
panies of the North Dakota regiment
and there was brisk engagement dur
ing which seven Filipinos were killed.
On the American side a lieutenant and
two privates were wounded.

FAYNE MOORE FREE.
Released Without Bond on All Pend

New York, April 1.-Justice Scott, in
the supreme court today released Mrs.
Fayne Strahan Moore on her own recog-
nizance on the charge of larceny of sill
verware from the Waldorf-Astoria- This
action was taken on the application of
the district attorney. Mrs. Moore had
been previously released on the indict-
ment charging her with extortion. She
was under 81 900 bail on the larceny
charge, but the hotel proprietors having
recovered all the silverware exhibited no
inclination to press the charge.
This ends a series of protracted ef-

She was not tried on the extortion
charge on account of the absence of

VOLUNTEERS CAN COME
Home If They Have an Especially
Good Excuse.

Washington, April 1T was stated
at the war department today that the
provision of the army law allowing the
retention in service for six months
of the volunteers in the Philippines had
been construed to mean the officers as
we'll as the men, and that the volunteer
organizations would be retained just as
they now exist. Gen. Otis was given
large plenary powers in the matter, but
was instructed by cable to send all sick
and wounded home, as we'll as volun-
teers who had exceptional reasons why
they should return home, such as the
support of families and the loss of prop
erty by reason of their absence. Gen.
Otis will decide such questions on their
merits. The volunteers in the Philip
they can be spared, and the presence
there of these organizations the war de-
partment believes, makes it unneces-
sary to organize the provisional army of
80, 600 allowed under the army law.
