PHILADELPHIA, February 25.-A
man, registered at the Pennsylvania
Hospital as Hamilton H. Greyson, died

IN IMPORTANT CAPTURE
THE ARREST or FRANK RANDALL
MAY BREAK UP A
SLICK GANG
HEADED BY CLEVELAND RED"
Chief Tyree, of Huntington, Has
Been working ON the Case Since
Year Ago Last November-The
Story of the Robbery at the G. q
o. Station in Huntington.

AS has been heretofore published
Frank Randall, alias Harry Ellsworth,
a member of a famous gang Of thieves
and confidence men, whose headquar-
ters seem to be at Cleveland, O., has
been confined in the county Jail since
Thursday charged with stealing grip
from a Pullman palace car at Hunt
. ington a year ago last November. Ev-
er since that date Chief of Police Ty-
rec, of Huntington, has been working
on the case and his efforts have final
ly been rewarded.
The grip contained besides a num-
Der. of papers valuable only to the
owner, P: S. Bates; of Washington, D.
c., $4,000 worth of notes signed by a
number of United States Senators, a
number of valuable tax receipts and
deeds for lands in South America,
Washington and other States in the
West. Mr. Bates had been acting as
agent for number of Senators in the
west and was on the way to Washing
ton City, when the robbery was COM
mitted. AS the train drew into the
station at Huntington, Randall pick
ed up the grip and walked out of the
car and got clear away. The porter
did not suspect him as Randall is al
rryo rrc. Irnccod had fWn ut h.
er confederates. They are known and
Chief Tyree is confident of securing
them. The Chief, thinking that Ran
dali would be sure to come to Wheel
ing on Dewey Day, wired the authori-
ties to arrest him, which was done,
q short time after he arrived. He will
be taken to Cabell county for trial.
Members of the same gang did some
very neat work in this section last
November, when three of their num-
Der committed a diamond robbery in
Parkersburg and moving south looted
a dentists Office of tools in Kenova.
Then they jumped to Ashland, KY,
and performing another clever dia-
Tncnd robbery, disappeared for the
time being.
The parties directly interested are
very we'll satisfied with the capture.
The Pullman Palace Car Company
has been sued for $4,000 damages due
for tba loco of tho nonarc
The outcome Of this arrest may
break up the gang, who, under the
leadership of Cleveland Red" have
been operating in this central section
of the country for the past few years
Several months ago Chief Tyree ar
rested one of the gang, Leo Lubbon,
who escaped from the Chicago au-
thorities after having been convicted
of felony,

rolling mills will resume in a month
if the company can secure the neces-
sary buildings.

PORTLAND, Me-, February 25.-The
big Allan line steamship California,
which left her dock at midnight, went
ashore on Ram Island ledge, just out
side of the harbor, few minutes af-
ter her pilot left her this morning. All
the passengers are safe although still
aboard. Most of the local shipping
men are of the opinion that the rocks
have penetrated the bottom of the yes
sci in several places and they doubt
very much if she can be saved. The
vessel is valued at So 90 .00n; the cargo
at 100000. There are six cabin, five
intermediate and ten steerage passen-
gers. beside crew of 70 men. The
cabin passengers are Mr. and Mrs. Hat
ton, Montreal; Mr.. and Mrs. w. d.
Wilson, Toronto: Miss Bailey, Ottawa,
Ind, and Mr.. Browell, Esquimalt, 3.

The California was in charge Of Pr
lot Edward L. Parsons, and at the time
he left her the wind was blowing hard
from the southeast and was accompan-
led at the time by heavy rain. Pilot
Parsons left the ship on reaching the
Bell buoy of Cushings Island Point.
after he gave the officers of the ship
the correct course. Ten minutes later
the California was hard and fast
aground on Ram Island ledge. This is

off her course when she struck. This
afternoon the life saving boat from
the Cape Elizabeth life savers, seven
miles away, launched boat and put
off for the steamer intending to trans
fer the passengers from the steamer
to the tug Piedmont. Some of the wo-
men passengers desired to be transfer
red, but on seeing the manner in which
the life boat pitched and rolled, they
decided not to leave the ship.

is now blowing strongly from the west

The passengers will probably be TAX

danger and if the sea is smooth the
work of removing the cargo will COM

The California was bound to Glas-
cow by way of Halifax. Captain Bar

heavy sea and the passengers are per-
fectly safe.

In response to Mr.. Halls question as

Continuing, he said: 1.-THE people of
CabelI county are for Mr.. White. They
like Freer, but Mr.. White never

Freer people got up right in the con-

FIGHTING SoUTH0FLADYsMITH

No Distinct Advantage Appears to
Have Been Gained by Either Side.
COLENSO, Natal, Saturday, Febru-
airy 24.-The Beers who had been re-
inforced, made stand on Thursday
at Groblers Kloof and on a range of
hills running east. They had been
forced from all their positions on the
right.
Gen. Lyttietons division on Thurs
day advanced under cover of the
kopjes. The Beers fired creusot
and Long Tom" The British ar
tillery was well sheltered in the action
at daybreak and until late in the aft
ernoon when a heavy rifle fire on both
sides developed.
The British infantry had advanced
a mile, and half and continuous
fire was kept up until after dark.
The Beers stuck to their positions.
The British artillery fire was irregu-
lar. A few salvos were sent toward
the thickly wooded spots and ravines
from which the Boer fire was heaviest.
The Beers sent shells into the head
quarters baggage close to the hospital,
but no material damage was done.
Gen. Wynne was slightly wounded.
The Boer positions are not consid
cred strong, with the exception of
Groblers Kloof The hills eastward
are not SO high, and can not be in
trenched so well as the mountains
which the British have taken.
The Somersets were the first across
the pontoons on Wednesday,. They
were subjected to heavy fire for five
hours in an isolated position. 1t was
the first time they had been under tire
and they behaved excellently.
Early. on Friday severe rifle fire
was resumed on the right and front
from the positions held over night, by
both sides. The British naval guns,
howitzers, mountain and field batter
les shelled the Boer trenches incessent-
ly. The Beers replied with two heavy
guns, some of their shells bursting ov-
er the hospital. AS a result the Brit
ish wounded were removed.
During the afternoon the fifth bri-
gade, the Inniskillings. and Dublins
leading, begun to advance up the hills.
In spite of the constant Smelling, the
Beers stood up in their trenches, aim
ing deliberately down the hills.
The infantry was further covered by
parties on the right and left, firing vol
legs. 1t was slow, the British taking
advantage of every bit of natural COW
er. The Beers on the crests of the
hills as we'll as from the trenches part
of the way down, poured lead along
the advancing line.
At dark the British infantry had
reached within few hundred yards Of
the first line of Boer trenches.
