Supposed to Have Sailed from Boston
Under the Name of Lambert.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 21.-when the
steamer Michigan, which arrived to-day
from Liverpool last night, sailed from this
port on i &c. p she carried a suspiciously-
acting stranger, who, although well
dressed shipped at the last moment as a
cattle tender. He gave the name of Rob-
ert Lambert. The police were notified that
this man, who looked like Pat Grove of
Omaha, was on the steamer, but too late
TO intercept him. A cablegram was sent
to Liverpool, and after the Michigan
reached that port word came back that
the officers had found no one who answered
Groves description. The officers and crew
of the steamer to-day were shown Groves
photograph and many of them were cer-
tain that the man Lambert was Grove.
The bunkmate of Lambert is certain that
the latter and Grove were identical. Lam
bert acted Queerly towards the end of the
trip, giving away the good clothes he wore
on coming aboard. He told the deck Of
ficer at Liverpool that he wished to get
ashore quietly, as he was afraid friends
would see him. He seemed to have plenty
OF money, and in conversation told mucn
about the West in an impersonal way.

Death of Two Popular Young Men in

Special to the indianapolis Journal
LIBERTY, Ind, Jan. 21.-This community
was cast into gloom Sunday afternoon by a
telegram from Washington telling that
George Rose and Albert Miller, both OF
this city. had been found dead in bed at a
hotel, death being due to asphyxiation.
Mr.. Rose. aged thirty-eight years, was n
prominent young capitalist, grandson of
Joseph Corrington, the wealthiest man
in Union county and one of the rich
est men in this section of the State. Young
Miller was the son of Theodore Miller, a

county, with many relatives in Indian
apolis. Albert Miller was employed IN
Washington, and Rose was there visiting
his brother. Prof. j. n. Rose who is con-

and, meeting Miller on the street, had gone
TO the theater with him and then TO spend
the night with him at his room. A leaking
gas stove caused their death.

young men. The bodies will arrive here
from Washington tomorrow, and funeral
services will be conducted Wednesday.

MAZURAS'S STORY DENIED.


NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Four more men
have been arrested In Yonkers i'm connec-
ton with the stabbing of Elias Mazuras,
Syrian, who was wounded with a knife
over the left eye during an alteration with
men who he alleges are members of an
Anarchist society. Mazuras sticks to the
story he told last night Of an Anarchist
assassination plot extending from the old
world to the new, and that the assault upon
him was perpetrated because he refused
TO assassinate a prominent American at
the behest or the group to which he had
belonged. On the other hand an inter-
prefer who was in court to-day when the
men were arraigned says he understands
from their conversation that the plot
against Mazuras resulted from his refusal
to work longer for the padrone Vorris,
who had employed all the men as peanut
vendors All the prisoners pleaded not
guilty when they were arraigned.
