Middletown, N. Y, Sept. 30. The
stage coach "Pioneer," which makes
daily trips between Warwick and
Goshen, was held up and robbed by
three masked horsemen late this
afternoon.
The coach WAS bowling along the
road two miles from Florida, and at
a lonely spot on the road Clinton and
Horatio S. Wisner, who own the
coach and we're on it, saw the men
on horseback suddenly emerge from
the dense woods which line the high.
way. Clinton WAS driving The
robbers ordered him to pull up his
horses. This he refused to do and
the highwaymen opened fire with re
volvers. None of the shots took eff
feet, but the shooting had the effect
of compelling the whip to bring the
horses to stop
In the coach were Mrs. j. A. Cham
berlin, Mrs. Fred Webster, Mrs.
James Fuller, Mrs. Hart, Mrs Ed
Johnson, all of Florida. While two
of the highwaymen covered the Wis.
ner brothers with their revolvers, the
third, using many threats, compelled
the passengers to give up all their
money and valuables.
After the robbery had been com
pleted the robbers spurred up their
horses and escaped.
When news Of the hold-up became
known this whole section of Orange
county was first astounded and then
excited. Posses Of armed men were
hastily formed and at once started a
search for the highwaymen. Clifton

TO GO HOME TONIGHT
GOV. SHAW HAS FURTHER CONFER
ENCE WITH SECRETARY GAGE.
VIII Take Charge of the Treasury on
the 25th InstaRt-Is Expected to
Make Few Changes.

Gov Shaw of Iowa spent Sunday and to-
day in Washington. Saturday night he was
a guest of Secretary Gage at dinner and
yesterday attended the morning service at
Metropolitan NJ. E. Church. This morning
the incoming Secretary Of the Treasury
spent a short time with Secretary Gage
discussing treasury affairs and then went
out to spend the remainder of the day call
ing upon ca binet officers.
Gov. Shaw will leave here at 6 o'clock
tonight for his home in the west, where he
will begin to arrange his affairs as to
come to Washington to take charge of the
treasury on January %, in accordance
with the arrangement made between him
self and Secretary Gage.
Gov Shaw, after a careful general sur
vey of treasury conditions and manage
ment has determined, it is said, to make
few changes, believing that the country
is well satisfied with the existing condi-
tions.
Gov. Shaw was entertained at dinner last
evening by Representative ]. p. Connor Of
Iowa. at the Hamilton. Others in the party
were Representative Walter I. Smith, Iowa !;
State Senator n. J.. Culbertson, Mrs. Cul-

the public schools and academies of Phila-
delphia. But his architectural training was
of the most practical order.
Soon after his marriage to Eveline f.
Freeman, which occurred in 1850, he en-
tered the Office of Thomas U. Walter.
When the latter became architect OF the
United States Capitol extension young
Clark was appointed assistant and thus
became associated in the very work of con-
structing the Capitol building.
Architect Since 1865.
In 1865 Mr.. Walter resigned and Mr..
Clark was appointed his successor, and
in that office he has served continuously
until today. The architect of the Capitol
was appointed officially TO the commissions
on the completion of the Washington mon
ument and the construction of the Congress
sional Library.
He was also a trustee of the Corcoran
Gallery of Art, a member of various scien-
tific societies, a fellow of the Clarendon
Historical Society of Edinburgh and fell
low and honorary officer of the American n
Institute of Architects.
Mr., Clark was the associate of many of
the leading men of both political parties
and enjoyed the friendship of republicans
and democrats alike. Although himself a
republican he continued for many years
the most intimate companonship with
many of the southern men in Congress.
knowledge of Capitol Remarkable.
His knowledge of the Capitol was re-
markable. He could recite the history of
every work of art in the structure without
referring to any record. AS his knowledge
of sanitation advanced he improved the ac-
commodations and sanitary appliances of
the Capitol most effectively. Since the be-
ginning of his service as architect he di-
rected the expenditure of more than six
millions of dollars
The most important feature of the work
contemplated in the allowances which make
up that total was the reconstruction of
the room formerly occupied by the Library
of Congress. These have been made over
into appropriate and beautiful committee
rooms, constructed and adorned with the
most intelligent sympathy for the classic
lines of the old building.
In addition to his duties as architect of
the Capitol, Mr. Clark had charge Of the
work of improving the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, repairing the local court house and
drawing plans for many school houses in
Alaska.
Mrs. Clark was a Miss freeman of Sand
place having been retained as a summer
residence, where all branches of the Free
man family hold a reunion annually Mr.
Clark has four children, two sons and two
daughters.
Mr.. Watson Clark lives in this CITY, MIR.

ter married PaymaSter Carpenter of the

SPANISH CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.
Translation of the Law in Force in
Cuba and Porto Rico.

The division of insular affairs of the War
Department has just issued, under the di-
rection of Col Clarence r. Edwards, a
book of about 500 pages containing a
translation, made by Mr.. Frank L. joan
mini. translator of the division. of the law
of criminal procedure in force in Cuba and
Porto Rico, together with the Spanish off,
cial text facing the English translation.
In addition to voluninous indices in Span
ish and English the work is extensively
annotated with the decisions of the su-
preme court at Madrid and notes explain
ing unusual civil law terms not generally
known by American lawyers. Appendices
are also included embra cling the changes
made by the Cuban military government.
and all articles of other laws (such as the
law of civil procedure and the penal code)
referred to in the text, thus making the
book work of ready reference in all mat
ters pertaining 10 criminal procedure in
Cuba.
In view of the fact that this procedure is
that which governs the proceedings con-
nected with the Nicely and Rathbone trials
now being held in Havana, the interest and
opportuneness of the work is evident

THE PENDING CANAL BILL
CHAIRMAN HEPBURN EXPECTS An
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.
No Democrats Have Asked for Time in
Which to Oppose the Measure
in the House.

Representative Hepburn, Chairman of the
interstate and foreign commerce committee,
has been advised by the Secretary of State
oil cable notification concerning the willing
ness of the Panama company to- sell it's
properties, &C., to the United States for
Si000oCOO, but he says this will not affect
the progress of the pending canal bill.
which he claims will pass by an overwhelm-
ing majority. He will try to get vote on
the bill Wednesday.
Dividing the Time.
Mr.. Hepburn will ask the consent of the
House tomorrow that the debate on that
measure be limited to ten hours, five to
be controlled by himself at the disposal of
the republicans, and five by Representative
Davey of Louisiana. who is the ranking
democratic member of the commerce COM
mlttee. Representative Davey says that
none of his colleagues so far has applied
for time to speak against the bill Mr.
Dayey has granted Representative Burton
OF OHIO, republican, twenty minutes of the
minority's time to explain his position on
the bill. 1t is understood that Mr. Bur-
ton does not oppose the canal, but is not
favorable to the Hepburn bill. Mr.. Hep
burns speech, it is understood, will be a
scathing denunciation of the Panama Com
pany's latest offer to the United States A
vote on the bill may not be reached on the
second day of its consideration, but if not
will be taken early Thursday.
The Panama Offer.
Although the pending offer of the New
Panama Canal Company for the sale of it's
property on the isthmus to this government
will not affect the consideration of the Hep
burn bill in the House, the best information
obtainable points to the certainty that the
Panama offer will be given serious consd-

FOR A MILITARY CAMP,
Tract of Land Near Oakland, Md,
Suggested.


A tract of land near Oakland, Nd said
to embody the necessary characteristics
has, among other places, been suggested to
the Miles board as an excellent military
camp. The tract is bounded on one side by
Deer Park and on another by Mountain
Lake Park, near the Youghiogheny river
Its advocates say no finer location can be
found, the climate being good, the water
pure and wholesome and the country free
from malaria. A site from one to ten
thousand acres is available. Artillery
ranges of from $500 to several miles can
be laid out, with innumerable shorter
ranges for small arms practice all of which
will be absolutely safe, as the back stop or
bullet stop would be the side of a steep
mountain. The ground is free from all OBJ
structions and obstacles. such as villages,
roads or farm houses. The country is un-
dulating, but sufficiently level for maneu-
vering troops and sufficiently rolling for
good drainage. Two mountain streams run
through the site and springs are numerous
There is an abundance of timber which
would afford shade and fuel for many years
to come. By rail from this city the pro-
posed camp site is 215 miles and by wagon
road about 175 miles.

EXTRADITION TREATY SIGNED.
1t Provides for ExtraditiOn Between
United States and Denmark.

Secretary Hay and Mr.. Constautin Brun
the Danish minister to the United States,
today signed a treaty of extraditon be-
tween the United States and Denmark
This particular treaty was drafted during
Secretary Gresham's administration of the
State Department, but was never COM
pleted before, owing to the development
by President Cleveland of an objection to
any eXtradition treaty that did not permit
a country to deliver up its own citizens
under eXtraditiOn proceedings. Denmark
did not see fit to agree to surrender her
citizens TO the United States and the treaty
was allowed to remain in abeyance until
recently, when finding that the United
States had made several treaties without
the objectionable provision, Denmark re-
newed the negotiations that ended today
in the signature of the treaty. AS it will
go to the Senate for approval, the conven-
tion is silent on the subject of surrender
of a country's own citizens.
