Omaha. Neb., Oct 1S.-In view of
Judge Won Sonhaler's refusal to agree
to- an arrangement to release Pat
Groves bondsmen should he surrender
to the authorities, the chief of police
and the county attorneys will take
steps to have the charge of robbery
against him dismissed in the county
court. If this is dismissed the proceed
ings will be brought in the justice
court, where the county attorney will
attempt to have the man released on
small bonds.
Chief of Police Donahue says the
next on the board" is up to Pat Grove.
The case of the kidnaper has attracted
much attention. Practically all de
mands laid down for his surrender
have been complied with, and he ex
poets Grove to put in an appearance
before the last day of the month. The
county attorney has agreed to recon-
mend to the court a bond Of $500 if
Grove voluntarily gives himself up
and as this is as near as that condition
can be met, Chief Donahue says he has
done all he can, and is now waiting
for the result.

Missing Messenger Gives un.

New York, Oct. 21.-George Armi
tage, the missing messenger of the
Bank of New Amsterdam, walked into
the Tenderloin police station and gave
himself up. The detectives tried to
get him to make statement, but he
declined to discuss his case.
Armitage only had $31.4O on him
when arrested. After he disappeared
drafts and collections representing
many thousands of dollars were re-.
turned to the bank by a mysterious
colored woman, who has not yet been
found by the police.
Armitage's accounts, according to
the bank officials, show a shortage of
$4,000. of which $4,000 is covered by
Fidelity bond
Armitage subsequently made a re-
markable confession, which set the
police scurrying after four supposed
accomplices, who, as alleged. had in
turn robbed the dishonest messenger
OF practically all the money he had
stolen. Armitage said that he had met
a woman, whom he knew as Marie, at
a roadhouse which they both frequent
ed. She was a friend of the piano
player in the resort. The wife of the
piano player and violinist, who also
furnished music in the place, and
Armitage, who was introduced to the
party by Marie, became friendly dur
ing a months intimacy. Armitage
said that after he stole the money he
got drunk and was unable to return
the checks Marie and the wife Of the
piano player agreed to do it for him,
and taking the bank wallet to Brook
Ign, hired a negro woman to return it
to the bank. Armftage said that as
the woman left him, Marie suggested
that she had better take charge of the
stolen money for safety. Armitage
said he gave up the money, and the
woman never came back. 1t is be-
lieved the police have the names of
the entire party and will arrest four.
The woman who returned the $50
900 worth Of drafts taken by George
Armitage from the Bank of New AM
sterdam, when the messenger disap-
peared 80 mysteriously, according to
the Journal and Advertiser. is Mrs.
Isabel Quagh, coIored, dressmaker
of Brooklyn. Mrs. Quagf claims that
the package containing the drafts was
turned over to her young son by
young, well dressed woman. and that
the youth was given a dollar to con
vey it to his mother, who sent the
package to the bank by express.

Large FIRE At SYDNEY, C.B.
TANNED BY A FIERCE GALE.
business Portion of the Town
Firemen Handicapped by Lack of
of Town Averted by n Heavy Rain
storm.

Halifax, N. S., Oct. 2t.-The pros
porous and thriving town of Sydney,
Cape Breton, was almost swept out of
existence by a fierce con1agration. The
danes, which were famed by a As
mile gale, swept through the principal
business portion of the town, causing
ruin and devastation. Four blocks of
the finest business buildings are in
ashes.
The firemen were greatly handicap
ped at the outset by the poor supply
of water. The fire started in a three
story frame building on Charlotte
street, occupied by A. d. Giles and
Gordon & Keith. When the firemen
arrived on the scene the building was
burning fercely and the wind was
blowing the flames over the tops of
the adjoining buildings. In a very
short time the fire spread to the build
ings occupied by Carr. jeweler;
Blanchard, Bentley e Co., and the
Maritime Premium company. Then it
spread to some small buildings on the
opposite side of the street and jumped
to the large department store of
Prowse Bros. e Crowell, which was
soon doomed. The whole town was
then threatened.
Assistance was sent for and the fire
departments of North Sydney and
Glace Bay responded and on arrival
got quickly to work but every effort
to stop the flames was of no avail The
fire swept from Charlotte to Prince
streets, and as far south as George
street carrying everything before 1t.
Half an hour after the fire started one
quarter of the business portion of the
town was in flames.
The towns water supply now gave
out, and the engines had to be sent
to the harbOr to pump water.
AZ 4:30 two of the business blocks
were DESTROYED and the fire spread to
Bentick street, and half an hour later
Bruce, George, Bentick and Charlotte
streets were a mass Of fire. The
miners resorted to the use of dyna-
mite and several buildings were blown
up with but little effect. as the strong
wind carried the burning embers to
other buildings.
The fine building belonging to the
Union bank Of Halifax and the Baptist
and Presbyterian churches were soon
DESTROYED.
At o'clock the fire had reached the
east end of Charlotte street, and here
its progress was stayed.
The blocks on Wentworth. Prince
and Pitts streets and half a block on
George street were destroyed.
The fire is supposed TO have been
started by the bursting Of an oil stove.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss
at present, but it is roughly placed at
between 100000 and $500, 600.
The flames were under control at 10
o'clock.
SYDNEY, c. B., is town OF probably
1900 inhabitants, and is the scene
of extensive iron and steel operations
conducted by the Dominion Iron &
Steel COMPANY and the Dominion Coal
company, corporations in which Henry
NJ. Whitney Of Boston and other
American capitalists are largely in
terested. Plans have been under way
for some time to make Sydney the
! PittsOurg of Canada.

JUSTICE IN WEEPING wArER.

Weeping Water, Neb.. is entitled
to page all by itself in the chroni-
cles of lynching. Weeping Waters
enraged citizens dealt with one Ed
ward NJ. Lingell. charged with an
attempt to assault q child, in an
altogether novel and grimly humor-
ous fashion. They first strung him
mp to telegraph pole and lowered
him to give him q chance to confess.
De confessed and they gave him time
to pray and send few words to bis
folks. Then they hauled him up the
telegraph pole a second time and
kept him there while they debated
whether he was of sound mind or an
irresponsible idiot. Having decided
that he was the latter they hastily
lowered him. and finding he was still
alive, set him at liberty after making
him swear TO leave the country at
once.
Weeping Waters lynching meth
DDS, the New York World says. recall
the Scotch tradition of JedbuTg
justice" which was applied to cattle
stealers in the eighteenth century.
Its main feature was that the sus-
pected cattle lifters were hanged first
and tried afterward. But they al
ways had trial just as Lingell did
at Weeping Water.
