FATE OF STEAMER MADELINE.
Lite Doubt How That VESSEL Was Wrecked and
that Crew Fell mo Hands Of cannlhas.

Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Captain Little
Hales of the British steamer Kurdistan
which has arrived here from South Am
erica brings information regarding the
probable Gate of the missing French
steamship Madeline which sailed from
Valparaiso last August for Havre and
disappeared completely. From informa-
tion gathered at the Kurdistan's stop
ping points there appears to be llttle
doubt that the Madeline was wrecked
near the Pacific side Of tthe entrance
to the straits of Magellan and that her
crew was captured by the Patagonia
cannibals. From lights seen burning at
night Captain Little Hales think the
crew sought refuge at Otter Point. a
short distance outside of the entrance
10 the straits. Whether they were sig
nal lights for assistance Captain Little
Hales could not tell as he did not know
of the loss OF the vessel until he had
passed hat point. While the Kurdistan
was at Valparaiso a sailor named Stet-
son boarded the vessel and stated that
he had left the Madeline because Of her
uusea FefathinesS.

Because Thay Believed Mr.. Wdss Was
Going 10 Leave The Sia,s

A big suit for malicious prosecution
day The plaintiff is Frank III. Wildes,
a former member OF uhe bar. and the
defendants DR.. Gardner l.. Miller and
Jaspar G.. Hyde. The amount OF dam
ages claimed by Mr.. Wildes is 10000.
The suit is based on two suits begun
by the defendants against Mr.. Wildes
when he was at the bar. Hyde is en-
gagged in the loaning OF money and
Miller is a doctor. Hyde and Miller,
according 10 Wildes, had a mortgage
ON some property owned by a man
named Olney with whom Wildes had
an office. The second suit alleged
trover and conversion. The writ of ar
rest in one case was issued on Decem-
Der 1897. and Mr.. Wides said il was
issued without legal cause or color of
right. The writ claimed that Mr..
Wildes had converted TO his own use

longed TO them Mr.. Wildes says he did
not have anything TO do with the prop
erty referred to. and told Hyde SO, but

knew they had no case against him
and were moved only by desire to
ruin him in his profession. Mr.. Wildes
testified today that the suits begun
by the defendants caused the practical
ruin OF a business he had spent five
years i'm building up and other years
Of study 20 qualify for.
The defendants say the writs OF ar
rest were issued because they believed
Mr.. Wildes was going 20 leave the
state They also claim that they acted
