THEY TRIED TO ROB
TRAINMEN MADE AN ATTACK ON
EXPRESS MESSENGER.
THOUGH HE WAS BEATEN
HE RECOGNIZED ONE AND DE-
MORALIZED HIS ASSAILANTS.

Two Trainmen on the New York
Central Appeared in n New Role.
They Assaulted the Messenger
While He Was at His Safe-After
the Attack One Jumped on the
Train and Was Injured-BOth the
Men Were Arrested and Jailed.
Albany. N. Y, Oct. 22.-Arthur Car
penter and Frederick Avery of this
city, New York Central Railway train
men, are under arrest here charged
with assault and attempted robbery of
Express Messenger Miller in his car
while the train was nearing Schenec-
tady to-day. Miller was badly beaten,
but continued on to New York, and the
men were held here waiting his return.
Avery was head trainman on the
train and Carpenter was "deadhead-
ing" They entered the express car, it
is alleged, and suddenly assaulted Mil
Ter with a blackjack. Miller success
fully resisted, and Carpenter jumped
from the train and was badly hurt.
The car in which Miller was on duty
was a combination baggage and express
car. Miller was STOPPING over. putting
something in the safe, when he was
struck several times violently upon the
head. He fell to the floor stunned, but
recognized his assailants. He called
Avery by name, whereupon Carpenter
flung open the door and leaped from
the rapidly moving train, rolling over
and over on the road bed.
Avery, who is said to have made the
assault, made no further attempt upon
Miller, but went back and forth aim
lessly between the smoker and baggage
car while Miller was recovering.
The conductor took Avery into GUS
tody, and when the train reached AL
bany turned him over to the railroad
police Meanwhile Carpenter, badly
cut about the head and bruised, came
on to Albany on a later train and sur
rendered himself. He is said to have
admitted knowledge of the crime, but
sought to lay all blame upon Avery.
Miller, while severely cut and stun
| ned, soon recovered, and he continued
on his train to New York, but returned
later as above stated.

NOTES GIVEN FOR STOCK.
That Is why the Mexican Bank Was
short of Capital.

Mexico City, Oct 22.-The local
stockholders in the failed International
Bank and Trust Company held about
100000 of stock, but a portion of this
amount, it is claimed, is represented by
notes given instead of cash, and this is
advanced as an explanation of the
banks lack of money for it's business.
1t is said that part of the stock sold in
the United States was disposed of in
the same way.
The statement made i'll behalf of local
shareholders says that they will pay to
the ultimate dollar what they are Ii
able for They still insist that the
forced liquidation was illegal, not hav-
ing been authorized by the sharehold
ers, but precipitated by the arbitrary
action of the bank employees.
Many planters, miners and railway
men who kept their funds in the bank,
are most seriously embarrassed.
Now that the first excitement is over,
1t begins to be seen that the failure was
a disastrous one and that American in
terests have been much harmed.
An official of one of the other Ameri-
can banks says that American bank
ers here will now welcome any action
by the government likely to give
strength to existing institutions by ex-
ercising most rigid inspection and
control.
Congress is expected to give greater
force to existing legislation bearing on
institutions of credit.

THE MINNIE HEALEY SUIT.
Decision Rendered in the Famous
Mining Case.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 22.-Judge Clancy
in the District Court here to-day. de-
cided the famous Minnie Healey min
ing suit in favor of Augustus Heinze,
whose claims to the mines have been
opposed by the Boston and Montana
Mining Company, one of the allied
Amalgamated Copper corporations.
The value of the mine is estimated
at $1O,0OO,O 900. The case previously was
decided in favor of Heinze by Judge
Harvey of Butte, but was sent hack
by the Supreme Court for trial for al
legged improper conduct by Judge Har-
ney, during the tendency of the case
in his court.
The decision rendered prevents the
Boston and Montana from paying any
dividend, and, it is stated, will tie up
that concern until the injunction is dis
solved. The Boston and Montana,
next to the Anaconda, is the most val
liable property the Amalgamated Cop

BRYAN TALKS ABOUT
THAT $4,000 REQUEST.
Further Evidence in the PhilO $.
Bennett Will Case.

Further Evidence in the Pht1O =.
Bennett Will Case.
New Haven, Conn, Oct. 22.-William
]. Bryan again occupied the witness
stand in the Probate Court when the
hearing on the application for probat-
ing the will of the late Philo S. Ben
nett was resumed to-day.
Judge Stoddard spent considerable
time in asking Mr.. Bryan why it was
that in the letter which was left for
Mrs. Bennett by her husband, direct
ing her to give Mr.. Bryan $4,000 for
himself and family, it was not stated
that a certain part of the fund was
to be given to Mrs, Bryan and part
to the children. Mr. bryan replied
that he did not know, but that it
was so understood between himself
and Mr.. Bennett.
Judge Stoddard then asked Mr.. Bry-
an if any one was present besides him
self and Mr.. Bennett when they dis
cussed the letter. The witness an
swered that he did not remember but
thought that Mrs. Bryan was not pres
ent, although she afterward wrote the
two letters on a typewriter, one to Mrs.
Bennett and one to himself, relating
to this point.
Mr.. Bryan said that he had told Mrs.
Bennett the details of the agreement
when he came here after Mr. Bennett
death. He added that he presumed
that it had not occurred to either Mr..
Bennett or himself to mention Mrs.
Bryan in the letter. The witness was
asked to explain why he had received
$500 from Mr.. Bennett at the time the
will was drawn up, and stated that
while there was nothing said about 1t,
he supposed it was for drawing up
the document.
When Judge Stoddard asked the wit
ress if Mr.. Bennett had ever made any
investments for him, Mr.. Bryan re-
piled that he had made investments of
the Commoner fund. buying govern
ment bonds with the proceeds of the
subscriptions which came in advance.
He also said Mr.. Bennett had never
made an investment for Mrs. Bryan.
Lawyer Newton then asked his cli-
emit Mr.. Bryan: "Was it ever sug-
gested by yourself or Mrs. Bryan that
he give you the $50,000?"
NO sir, we never suggested it. 1t
came as a surprise to us when Mr.
Bennett made the suggestion himself"
James D. Dewell, a wholesale grocer,
stated that for many years he had
known Mr.. Bennett He said he al
ways believed him to be shrewd ca
pable business man, and he bore repu-
LaIOn as SQCn-
Did he worship Mr.. Bryan?" asked
Judge Stoddard.
Witness replied: 81 always knew
that he held the highest opinion of
him."
Mr.. Bryan then made a statement
which somewhat modified his answer,
| that no money had been invested for
Mrs. Bryan by Mr.. Bennett. He said
that when he received the royalties on
his book. THE First Battle" he gave
Mrs. Bryan. who wrote the biographi-
cal sketch, a sum amounting to about
| $4,000. This was invested for her, he
! said. but he could not recall whether
it was by Mr.. Bennetteor by a Chicago
| firm.
The case was adjourned until Mon
! day.

But Sentence of Man Convicted of
His Murder Stands.
Chicago, Oct. pa dispatch to the
Tribune from Knoxville. Tenn, says:
For third time Silas Hulin, the sup
posed victim of a murder, was "resus-
citated" and appeared alive and well
in the court room last night as the
chief witness in the habeas corpus
proceedings brought to have Clarence
Peak who is under a sentence of eigh-
teen years for the murder of Hulin,
liberated.
The court, however, dismissed the pc
tition, holding in effect that Silas HUI
lin is dead to all intents and purposes
and that the court had no legal right
to interfere with the conviction and
Judgment which had been properly Sc
cured An appeal was prayed to the

DEAD BODY FOUND.
Was Thought TO Be That of Young
Wentz. the PhiIadelphian.

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 22.-The dead
body of an unknown man was found
to-day by the roadside near Clinton,
Tenn, about twenty miles from the
city. Nothing could be found to indi-
cate his identity. He wore a *. A.
E. o." lodge pin and was handsomely
dressed.
1t has been suggested that the dead
man may be f. L. Wentz. the young
Philadelphia millionaire, who has been
missing from Big Stone Gap, Va, for
the last week, but there is no chance
of it being he. The description of the
man does not tally with Wentz. AL
though the dead man has not been
positively identified, he is believed to
be Boseman Mynatt of Halls Cross
Roads, in this county. Mynatts broth
er is now on his way to Clinton to
identify the body.
