|
Them.
NEW YORK. October S.-The thir-
teen men alleged to have been active
participants in the riot which occurred
Saturday aboard the Philadelphia
steamboat Georgeanna in the waters
of Few York harbor. were arraigned
to-day before a city magistrate
Captain c. A. @. Norton, of Hartford,
Conn, who organized the committee OF
passengers which took possession and
! held the gang Of gamblers and black
legs at bay until the boat reached her
pier, was present to prosecute the men
who had stabbed at him and threatened
to throw him overheard. With him
were several other passengers.
The prisoners were Captain Alexan-
der Sterck, of the Georgeanna, his pi-
lots Henry B. Post and Daniel Brown,
and Charles Berry, who has chartered
the boat, and the other alleged gam
blers, Edward P. Sherman, Frank
Jones, John Wills. George Lyons,

| tin.
Captain Nortons complaint against
Charles Berry, described as the ring
leader of the gang, was taken up.
The evidence showed that Berry was a
| desperate character and that he had
slashed Captain Norton's coat with a
knife in the effort to stab him. Berry
who denied the accusation, was held
| in $4,000 bail for further examination
on Wednesday. Edward P. Sherman,
charged with splitting open the scalp
of Peter Perdue, of Brooklyn, was held
in $1,000 bail for examination on the
same day.
The case of Captain Sterck and his
pilots, Post and Brown, came up. Cap
tain Nortons testimony which was cor
rCborated by the other witnesses, salts
fed the magistrate that the command
er of the Georganna was aware that the
boat had been chartered by gamblers
and that he was under their orders.
| Norton testified that the captain told
him he could only go where the men
running the sweat, faro, roulette,
wheels of fortune and dice games in the
different parts of the boat, wanted
him. He further said that he was will
ing to go to the yacht races if the
gamblers would let him.
The prisoner. however, when ques-
toned, denied any knowledge of the
gambling, and said that he had return
ed to port because the steam pipes were
leaking and the boat had become I'M
safe in che rough sea outside Sandy
| Hook. He was fined $40, and as the
witnesses all said that the pilots had
behaved themselves during the whole
Of the excitement, they were discharged.
1t was then stated by Thomas G. Tur-
ner "a civil and mechanical engineer,
| that he had complained to the United
States authorities against Captain
Sterck and Pilots Brown and Post for
| taking him out to sea without license
and that they would be arrested. Dur
ing the examination it was testified that
| the gamblers forcibly robbed passengers
of their watches, jewelry and pocket
books and escaped before the pcs.ce

The Admiral Spent Yesterday Very Quietly
in Washington.
WASHINGTON, October S.-Admiral
Dewey to-day attended divine services
at st. Johns Episcopal Church, where
the Episcopal special ceremony of
prayer and thanksgiving for the crown
of victory for our arms and for the
safe return from sea was conducted by
the Rev. DR.. Mackay- Smith, the rector.
The Admiral and the church officers
avoided giving notice in advance of this
service in order to avoid the curious
crowd that would flock to the church.
The rector in his sermon made no al
lusion5 to the Admiral, but impressive
ly delivered the two formal prayers of
the ritual, at the request of the Adj
miral. One of these gave thanks to
Almighty God, the sovereign COM
mander of all the world, in whose hand
is power and might, which none is able
to withstand" and for "all the victories
and deliverances of the past two years. I"
The other, to which the entire con-
gregation bowed earnestly, offers
thanks for conducting in safety
through the perils of the great deep,
this, Thy servant, who now desireth to
return his thanks unto Thee in Thy
holy church"
The Admiral spent the afternoon
making a few calls and this evening
took supper with some old Washington
friends.

make the company pay the tax but
when It is mentioned the company
begins talking about taking down

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
John psan Meets Death Dn the kest fsod,
a. A. Rusts saW.MM.

Last Saturday forenoon word was
brought to Dolores that john Dean,
a teanister working fpr A. A. Rust,
had been killed OH the road leading
from the saw-mill to the rhiltoad,
DIR. L. G. Haefeli hastened to the
scene of the accident and Upon ex-
animation found that Mr.. Deans
neck had been broken close to the
body, that his left arm was broken
between the shoulder and elbow,
that one rib was broken and his
body badly bruised all over the
back. The body was taken to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Lynton
where 1t was Jared for until burial.
Just exactly how the accident &C.
CURED will never be known as no
one saw it. The road was wet and
slippery and some think the horses
got too close to the lower edge of
the grade and that Mr.. Dean at.
tcrtpted to jump from the wagon to
the upper side Of the grade aud fell
back, probably breaking his neck
in the fall and was carried along by
the wheel catching him against the
high ernbankment, the road being
on the hill side. Others think one
of the horses fell and threw him of
his balanee. causing him to fall
from the wagon. AT first it was
thought the wagon passed over him
but this theory was ungrounded, as
the heavy load void have crushed
the body. The body was found b..
tween ten and twenty feet behind the
wagon, the horses having been COM
PEELED to stop by the wagon getting
into rut.
Mr.. John Dean was voting than,
being only nineteen years old, and

THE FAIR,

The fair for the benefit of St Mary s
Hospital opened on Tuesday night at
Turner's Opera House. The ladies who
interested themselves in the enterprise
spared no pains in making the place in
viting in appearance and artistically
beautiful Their taste has found express
sion in beautiful decoration and admir-
able arrangement. Never before was a
hall in the city SO tastefully decorated.
The May booth III the center of the hall
is poem in itself, exhibiting i'll its gem
eral features as well as i'll detail of ar
rangement, artistic taste of high order
1t is presided over by ladies who suggest
by their appearance the beauties of the
month the booth commentaries. They
sell flowers fragrant with the breath of
spring and things of a more substantial
though less esthetic nature. There are
booths all around the hall where wares
of various kinds are sold. The Palm
Garden on the stage is very neat and APP
peals to hungry mankind as refresh
ments of all kinds are served there.
There are quite a number of rare articles
Of Indian manufacture. Indeed, those
who arranged the Fair have reason to be
pleased with the success of their efforts
There We're about 1 900 persons present
on the opening night, Mayor Rahr de-
livered an address commenting the pur
pose of the Fair and eulogizing the spirit
of charity which brought about the build
ing of the hospital The Fair will con
tinue three more days.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS,

The work being done in the cemetery
this spring will add considerably 10 the
beauty of the place for which nature has
done SO much A gang of men with
teams have been at work there for some
time and owners of lots are doing their
part The drives are being graveled and
the underbrush cut out. The place where
The exercises on Decoration Day are con-
Quoted are being fixed up so as TO make
it more convenient Seats are being ar
ranged for 1000 people; the platform Is
being enlarged and other minor improve
ments are i'll progress.
The proposed improvements i'll the city
parks have already been mentioned. The
interest taken in the work by owners of
property adjoining the North Side Park
makes certain that the Improvements
will be extensive.
Henry Hinrichs and A. j. Schmitz are
agitating the question Of paving Buffalo
street. They have not yet taken any de
likely to do so in the near future.
Two gentleman have been securing
signatures to a petition for paving Com
mercial street. Thus far they have Sc
cured ten of the property holders east Of
Eighth street and are quite certain Of
more. They have not yet canvassed the
street west of Eighth but have assuran-
ces of signatures from property holders.
There is no street in the city more in
need of paving than this.
