With Blue Jeans overalIs and Buck skin Gloves the New York Society
 Man Sends the Engine Along i, at MIle-a-Minute Clip.

Chicago. October 16-John Jacob Astor aire and took up that of a locomotive engineer for a short time today. With blue jeans overalls and buckskin gloves the Colonel sat on the right side of To- comotive cab and piloted the fast mail on the Lake Shore road. It was not a rec ord breaking performance, but it came very near the mark and proved that at least one of the New York Four Hundred can do things out of the usual.
 Colonel Astor was scheduled to come to Chicago in company with President Stuyvesant Fish of the Illinois Central road to attend the annual meeting which was held today He missed the train to which was attached the presidents pri- vate car and the directors gave up the idea of having him at the meeting. Be- fore they reached Chicago their doubts were dispelled by the receipt of a tele- gram stating that he would be here on time
 In order to keep his word he took the fast mail at New York at s:45 Tuesday morning. When Elkhart was reached at 5:O5 o'clock this morning the Colonel de- cided to complete the trip on the engine. Out of South Bend there is fairly straight stretch of track. with a slight down grade west bound. The engineer invited his guest to take the reins" and the invitation was coupled with another to push her along.' The Colonel ac- cepted both invitations. From South Bend to La Porte, distance of twenty miles, the new engineer made the dis tance In a trifie under twenty minutes.

CAUSE OF FIRE UNKNOWN

The stable of the Mayberry Hardware Company in Morris avenue and Twenty third street was badly damaged by fire last night and 1t is believed fourteen mules were burned to death. At a late hour last night the cause of the fire could not be ascertained.
 About S:3O o'clock Capt. Harry Mullin of the East End fire department discov- cred the blaze and ordered his apparatus out. On arriving at the fire several lines of hose were, laid under direction of Cap tain Mullin, he thinking that general alarm had been sent in. Latter develop ments showed that no general alarm had been turned in, and few minutes after the arrival of the East End department. known as No. 4, the alarm was sent to station No. 4. the northside. which de- partment responded promptly.

 were stabbed in the place. It was further stated that no watchman was kept at the place. and there was no insurance on the building or the stock. He further stated that the head driver employed by the firm could not be found up to a late hour last night, and therefore no accur- ate estimate of the loss to the firm could be made An examination of the place was made but on account of the darknesy nothing definite could be determined.
 The representative of the firm stated further that he was informed that only two head of stock were destroyed by the fire.
 Captain Mullin states that the entire roof of the structure was in flames when the discovery of the fire was made.

BANDITS CAPTURE
 IS NOW DELAYED
ARREST OF ANNIE ROGERS, SUP POSED TO BE CONNECTED WITH THE GANG, UPsETs PLANS OF PINkERToN AGENCY.

St. Paul, October 16-The capture of the bandits who held up the Great North ern overland express at Wagner, Mont, July G. securing s4s,O0O in bank notes, the officials of the Great Northern Express Company say, has been seriously delayed by the announcement of the capture at Nashville of Annie Rogers alias Maud Williams supposed to be connected with the gang. Before her arrest the Pinker- ton agency and police officers had laid plans which seemed to assure a speedy capture of the robbers
 President and General Manager Elliott of the express company said today that no further news had been received at headquarters and thar he did not look for the immediate arrest of the gang
 This woman, according to my advices," said Mir. Elliott, was in communication with one of the robbers at New Orleans. When that man read the account of her capture In this mornings papers he prob ably disappeared at once. If her arrest had not been made public we would prob- ably have had secured him and perhaps the rest of the men. Their capture will probably come soon or later, but 1t has been delayed.
 .The published account of the arrest of the Rogers woman is correct. She walked into the bank and asked to exchange a part of the stolen notes for others and larger denominations. She was, of course, arrested at once"
 MT. Elliott says the express company does not know how the bandits escaped from the mountain south of Wagner while pursued nor what their movements since have been. The Identification made at this time, he says, has been substan- tiated. Trainmen on the Overland have identified photographs of the suspected men as pictures of the robbers.

TWO MUCH GAS.

New York, October 18-William Joyce and his wife who had been married seven months were asphyxiated during the night at the home of Mrs. Joyce's parents in Brooklyn.
 Joseph Duff, brother of Mrs. Joyce, be- lieves he was the nuintentional cause of the tragedy. MT. and Mrs. Joyce, who lived in Manhattan, had spent the even- ing at the home of the Duffs and were asked to remain over night They were given the sleeping room usually occupied by Joseph Duff, who was away from home during the evening. When the young man went to his room and lit the gas Joyce spoke to him and explained the situation, whereupon Joseph turned out the gas and went to another apartment to sleep. He thinks that in his confus- ion at finding his room occupied he may have turned on the gas after the, utht had been extinguished. There is abso- lutely no ground for suspicion of suicide

 Colbert shoaIs Work.
 Resolved, That the work already done at the Colbert shoals has been greatly retarded and has been much impaired in the unfinished state of its construction by the inability to keep a trained force employed and the increased cost of ma terial, through insufficient appropriation; that the completion of this work at the Colbert shoals Is the great and only stand required to make the whole river availa- ble for navigation. whereby water con- nection will be secured and maintained with the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the Gulf of Mexico, thus furnishing cheap and safe water transportation to larger and more fertile productive region of this country than could be done by the same means and expense elsewhere In the United States
 Resolved, That this association ear nestly and urgently solicits from the Congress of the United States appropria- tion for this work on the Tennessee river to make full and uninterrupted naviga- tion available. and that enough be em- braced In a specific appropriation for the completion of the Colbert shoals project, and that to this end it may be placed on the continuous contract system, so that the early and constant progress of the work and it's completion may be assured
 Resolved, That the president of this association appoint a committee of five members to present these resolutions with suitable memorial and information to the Congress, or its proper committed, at such time as the Representatives from the districts interested in the subject may arrange. and to obtain favorable action in behalf of this measure.
 Resolved, That the following appro- priation from Congress for the diver are solicited: At Colbert shoals, S991. 900; mountain section, $3oO000 above Chat tanooga, $65.0OO; tributaries, s10O.oOo; be- low Riverton, $25,00O

 management promoted by obtaining it's use, all unite to vindicate and support the petition of our people for liberal ap- propriation from the government, with which to finish the work that has been inaugurated for opening this river and give assurance of contributing not only to the convenience and welfare of our people, but also to the wealth and pros perity of our common country.
 Small Appropriation Useless.
 Resolved. That experience has taught us that appropriations from the govern ment acquired in small amounts for many different points along this water way have resulted in but little practical advantage to any portion of it. and that if the same amounts had been used at one place where most needed much greater benefit would have been derived by the government and the interests of our people; that we realize and appreci- ate the fact, which events have demon- strated, that the work of removing ob- structions to the navigation of the river should have been begun and completed from the mouth of the stream upward to- ward it's source. and that the whole river must remain to great extent unem- ployed, while ingress and egress to and from it's unobstructed waters with con meeting rivers is prevented by the exist ing barrier of the Colbert shoals and that to secure the earliest removal of this obstacle we hereby pledge our concen- trated efforts, in which we urge the earnest cooperation and assistance of the Senators and Representatives in Con- gress from the states of Alabama, Geor- gia, Kentucky, Mississippi. Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina. Tennessee and Virginia, to all of which this work will result in lasting benefits, to obtain. by united vote, influence and 1 exertion in it's accomplishment.
 Resolved, That with the carrying out of the project for overcoming such obstruc- ton as the Colbert shoals, work on which is already considerably. advanced. and with work of comparatively small cost at what is known as the mountain section of the river. uninterrupted navigation for more than seven hundred miles on the
