YALE STUDENTS ARRESTED.
A Ticket Spectator Charges Them

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 17.-Three
Yale students were arrested Friday in
a civil action brought by Sidney
Troeder, of Roxbury, Mass, q specu-
lator who sold tickets for the Yale
Harvard football game last fall. The
students are Bradford Ellsworth, of
New York; William r. Orthwein, of

In the city court recently the three
students mentioned were convicted

STEAMSHIP ST. LOUIS SAFE.
Makes Signals or N~antucket
Lightship Friday Afternoon.

New York, Jan. H.-Word reached
this city Friday evening that the
American line steamer st. Louis, from
Southampton, January g., for New
York, was sighted off Nantucket
lightship at GAO p. M, going dead
slow. Signals were made to the south
shore lightship, but owing to the fact
that a heavy gale was blowing they
were unintelligible. The slow rate Of
speed at which the St. Louis was tray
cling indicates that unless she should
be assisted she may not reach New
York before Sunday morning. APP
pearances indicated that the ST. Louis
was short of steam power and the
signals were thought to imply that
trouble with her boilers had been ex-
perienced. .ttes3

THE OVERDUE STEAMSHIP.
Statement of Reasons for Be
lieving the Ship to BE Safe.

New York, Jan. 16.-Up to midnight
Thursday no news had been received
of the American line steamship st.
Louis. Throughout the day crowds of
inquirers called at the offices of the
company, where the agents main
tanned a cheerful view and assured all
that there was no need for alarm.
To those who made inquiry a copy
of the following statement signed by
Clement A. Griscom, the president of
the line, was given:
There is no apprehension whatever
felt about the ship, as several causes
have contributed to her delay. She
did not leave Cherbourg until Sunday
forenoon, nearly sixteen hours late,
and according to her average speed
for the last few voyages, was not due
here until Tuesday.
at is known the ships boilers arc
not in good condition, as she is to be
withdrawn at the end Of the present
voyage for repairs. 1t is not even be-
lieved that she met with any mishap,
such as the breaking of a shaft OF
loss of propeller"

R D OF NOT GUILTY.
Of the Charge of killing
Clarence Foster.

River Head, L. T., Jan. 17.-Louis A.
Disbrow was acquitted, friday, of the
charge of killing Clarence Foster at
Good Ground, on the night of June g..
The verdict was reached by the jury
after brief elaboration. The case for
the prosecution throughout was weak,
the strongest point made against tho
accused being that he was the last
person seen with Foster and Miss
Lawrence on the night of the tragedy.
The contention of the defense was
that Foster and the girl committed
suicide. E
District Attorney Smith said after
the prisoner had been discharged that
he would not move to trial the indict-
ment charging Disbrow with the
death of Miss Lawrence.

Parade at the Dedication Of
the Worlds Fair.
CEREMONIES WILL COVER THREE DAYS.
At Least Five Thousand Regular
troops, of All Arms, in Addition

Washington, Jan. l6.-Maj.-Gen.
Henry @. Corbin, who lis to be grand
marshal Of the great parade incidental
to the celebration and dedication Of
the Louisiana Purchase exposition
grounds, on April 80, has outlined his
general plans for the parade. The full
details are not yet ready to be given
to the public
There SNOW an indication that in
stead of the ceremonies all being held
on a single day, they will cover three
days. The first day.April 3owill be the
official day for the parade and cere7
monies of dedication. This will be
the day for the great military dis
play, and the one on which Gen. Cor
bin, Acknowledgement Of the armies Of
the United States, will lead his bril-
liantly-uniformed staff in the parade
past the reviewing stand. On the fol-
lowing day, May 4, the parade fea-
ture will probably be made up OF
hundreds of school children. They
will be marshaled by some competent
St. Louisan and will carry early spring
flowers, and are expected to make
one of the most Interesting features
of the great celebration. On the third
day the civic and religious societies
and similar organizations will march
past the reviewing stand.
The exact number of troops which
will participate in the military pa
rade has not been determined. The
Worlds fair officials thought it well
to have at least lie, 1000 men in line. War
department officials believe this to be
impracticable, for several reasons.
One of these is the expense involved,
which will be much greater than
might be at first imagined. Another
is the belief that a smaller force, say
of 5000 men, will make q brave dis
play, and will be fully as interesting
as twice that number of men. If the
exposition people accept the advice
which has been given them they will
plan for 5000 men in the line
Gen. Corbin plans to make the pa
rade of 5000 men one of the most in
teresting hat has ever been held in
a city of the country. 1t will be the
largest force of regulars eve assem-
bled in any city for any such pur-
pose. Every arm of the service will
be represented. They will be arranged
so as to give a complete idea to those
who witness the display of u pres
ent army. There will be cavalry with
gay yellow guidons, infantry with
their new khaki uniforms and new
Krag-Jorgensens, light artillery with
their numbering caissons and brilliant
scarlet-lined capes and trimmings Of
the men, and heavy artillery with
their ~frowning, heavy guns. 1t is
ever probable that Gen. Corbin viii
succeed in bringing to ST. Louis one
of the great siege batteries with the
heaviest guns in the service, except
at the coast defenses

COSTLY FIRE IN CHICAGO.
1t Caused n Panic Among the Guests
OF the Grand Central Ho-
tel, Adjoining.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Fire which broke
out at at early hour, Friday morning,
destroyed a large manufacturing
block at Canal and Madison streets,
causing a loss estimated at 500, 900
and caused a panic among the guests
of the Grand Central hotel, adjoining.
For q time it was feared the hotel
would be destroyed and many of the
inmates fled in scant attire into the
street. Among the heaviest losses
are the Simonds Manufacturing Co.,
P. F. Gumpf & Co., the Eureka Manu-
featuring Co. and the Western brass
works.
Most of the concerns occupying the

THE FAMINE IN SWEDEN.
Distressing Accounts Of Famine In
Northern Sweden Confirmed
from Stockholm.
THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE AFFECTED.
Famine District Extends From
the sixty-Ffrst to the sixty-sev-
enth Degree of North latitude,
and From the Gulf of Bothnia
Far Into the Interior.

London, Jan. 16.-Telegrams from
counts of famine in northern Sweden,
as given in these dispatches. About
10000 people are affected by this
famine which extends from the six-
ty-irst to the sixty-seventh degree
north latitude and from the Gulf of
Bothnia and the Russian border far
into the interior. The starving peo-
pie are eating pine bark, which is
dried. ground to powder, mixed with
stewed iceland moss and made into a
kind of famine bread. C~oincident
with the failure Of the crop is the ex-
IRENE scarcity of fish. The fisher
men return from their expeditions
empty handed. Even ptarmigan, usu-
ally found in great numbers in the
stricken district, have almost com
pletely disappeared. 1t is estimated
that the expenditure of about $780,
600 will be necessary to save the popu-
lation from defamation. Thusfar about
100000 has been subscribed, of which
sum over $4,000 was sent by Swedes
in the United States. This amount
does not include the money necessary
to save the breed of cattle, which
alone can live through an Arctic win
ter, or supply seed for the spring
sowings. The peasants are making
pathetic sacrifices to avert the ex-
termination of the hardy northern
cattle. In previous times of scarcity
good fodder was obtainable by mixing
reindeer moss and aspen bark. Now
this is o available, and chopped
twigs of birch, willow and ash are
being substituted. The mixture is
boiled and fed to the cattle warm, but
it is found that the milk of cattle
thus fed leads to typhoid fever. This
and other diseases are certain to
spread unless relief is FASTENED. The
situation threatens a repetition of the
terrible famine Of 1867, when thou
sands died On starvation and typhoid.
A special commissioner of the Swed-
ish government, who has just re-
turned from the scene of the dis
tress, emphasizes the necessity for the
adoption of immediate plans to abate
the distress. His report has caused
a most painful impression and will it
is hoped, enhance the national eff
fort to provide remedial measures. Up
to the present 1900 carloads, valued
at over 100000, represent the total
quantity of provisions and fodder
shipped to the famine stricken area.

WOUNDED EDITOR GONZALES.
While Holding His Own at Last Accounts
the Chances for His Recovery
Considered Slight.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 17.-Editor N.
G. Gonzales, who was shot and seri-
ously wounded by Lieut.-Gov. Tillman
on the most travelled street in tho
capital Of South Carolina, was hold
ing his own at nine o'clock Friday
night. There had been no change for
either the better or the worse since
Thursday. The crisis is yet to come.
The best doctors in this part of the
state are doing all they can to save
his life, but hold out little hope of
his recovery. At the same time Mr..
Gonzales is making a plucky fight for
his life, AS he has a strong constitu-
stion, excellent habits and a resoluto
will, it is thought there 10 a chance
that he may pull through, notwith-
standing his critical condition and
the very serious nature of the wound.
His condition, and tn, details of the
tragedy, are almost the only topics of
conversation in South Carolina. Tele-
grams came throughout the day from
all parts of the state and from many
places beyond its borders, expressing
sympathy and asking for the latest
news as to his condition.
All day long sympathetic crowds
gathered around the bulletin boards
and expressed ardent hopes for the re-
covery of the stricken man.. All the
information obtainable was the bulle-
tins of the physicians posted on the
boards. No one, not even members of
his family, was permitted to see the
patient.
TiIIman in No Danger.
While tnere is a great deal Of feel
ing over the affair, it can be stated
with positiveness that there is abso-
mtely no thought of violence against
Lieut.-Gov. Tillman on the part of Mr..
Gonzales friends. All sensational re-
ports of threats against Tillman's life
in the event hat the stricken editor
should die are absolutely baseless, as
it is the wish of Mr.. Gonzales and his
closest friends that the matter should
be left for the courts to settle judi
cially. .E
Odds Against Recovery.
Mr.. Gonzales wound was dressed
shortly before ten o'clock Friday
morning, and later DR.. Query an
nounced that the stricken man was
holding his own and doing as well as
could be expected, but that the odds
were greatly against his recovery.
Statement from TirIman.
Lieut.-Gov. James Fl. Tillman, who
had done the shooting, took things
quietly and calmly during The day in
the county Jail, where he had a COM
Portable room on the second floor.
Most of the day was spent in consul
tation with his lawyers. Two of his
counsel gave the press, with a re-
quest hat it be published, the follow
ing statement prepared by Mr.. Till
man himself in response to a tele-
gram from a New York newspaper:
81 car only say that when the truth
OF the unfortunate affair is known,
my friends, as well as the people, will

will be prepared to show. Beyond

SOME MATTERS OF DETAIL.
An Insight Into Some of the Artistic
Work in STAFF Being Done at
the Worlds Fair Site.

ST. Louis, Jan. 16.-Lennox e. East
man, staff contractors for the Liberal
Arts building, of which Barnett,
Haynes & Barnett, of st. Louis, are
the architects, are showing consider
able ingenuity in making the models
for this building. On the pedestals,
which flank the main central entrance
of the building, the architects have
designed a gigantic %crouching lion,
his paw ~overhanging the edge of the
pedestal. Lennox & Eastman now
have a sculptor at the cages of Bos-
took &c Ferrari's menagerie, in St.
Louis, making sketches Of the lions in
wax, which are to be reproduced in
the desired size, first in clay and then
in plaster. This modelling from life
insures character and accuracy in the
model and promises artistic results.
Lennox & Eastman showed similar in
genuity in obtaining the model for
the giant Atlantes, or human figures,
which will support the browning con
struction of the entrance pavilion.
Carl Victor, the St. Louis athlete,
posed for this composition.
Barnett, Haynes & Barnett, the
architects, have intrusted much more
to the staff workers than have the
architects on most of the other build
ings, The architects of the other
buildings have limited their draft on
the staff workers to foliage, fruit and
chields or cartouches. When occa-
sionally they designed a human figure
it was always in a place not open to
close inspection, such as the friezes
on screen walls. The sculpture work
of the building was left to the direc-
tor of sculpture to be assigned to
artists of established repute

BY AEDDL|NG BOY,
Wreck Oh the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road Caused by Display of
False Signal
FOUR MEN KILLED AND THREE INJURED.
The signal Had Been Set for s.Dan-
ger" Hut ~ Messenger Boy, Who
Was intthe Tower, Is Said to Have
Turned the Signal While the OPP
orator Wasn't Looking. M

81 Cumberland, Md, Jan. 17.-Through
the alleged interference of a messen-
ger boy a wreck was caused OF the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, east of
Cumberland. early Friday morning, in
which four employees of the Baltimore
g. Ohio railroad were killed and three
injured.
The killed are:
W. II. Simms, engineer.
w. j. Moran. fireman.
III. d. Sneeringer, fireman.
John Butler, engineer.
Those injured:
T.. J. Hendricks, conductor, Balti-
more; bruised about the body.
w. N. Christopher, engineer, Balti-
more; bruised. r.
- Kinney, conductor; Cumber-
land.
The wreck was due to the displaying
of a false signal, giving a clear track
for eastbound passenger train No. 10,
when in the next block ahead there
was standing on the track a caboose
and two engines. The passenger train
was drawn by two engines and these
crashed through the caboose and en-
gines which INSTRUCTED the track.
Luckily the train had not attained it's
full speed. and was only moving at the
rate of about 20 miles an hour when
the collision came. The postal car of
the passenger train was derailed, but
the passenger coaches did not leave
the track and the occupants escaped
injury.
It is charged that a messenger boy
named Turner, who was in the block
tower when No. 10 came along, and
hearing the engineers whistle for
clear tracks, pulled a lever giving him
a clear signal. The operator had. it
is explained, previously set the sig
nal at danger. While his attention
was being devoted to communicating
with the succeeding block station, the
boy, it is alleged pulled the lever that
gave the oncoming train the signal
that it had a clear block ahead and
the tower operator was not aware of
what was done until the crash came.
