SCHURZ, OBJECT LESSON
hr. Parker Made Use Of Him in a
 Speech on hiIitarism.

New York. Nov. 2.-One of the most rousing receptions during the cam. paign was give n to Judge Parker. to- night at Cooper Union. where he al dressed a meeting held under the au., pices of the German-American Parker union. The candidate was substituted for Grover Cleveland, who was orig inally scheduled to address the gather ing, but was compelled to cancel the engagement. Carl Schurz was the pre-. siding officer. All of the addresses were in German except that of Judge Parker.
 Under an escort of mounted polio, - men, Judge Ps,rker arrived at Cooper Union at S:25 o'clock Before hiz ar rival there was a display of bombs and other fireworks in the square north of the building The candidate Uds warmly cheered by the crowd about the building. He entered by Uhc piat- form door on Fourth avenue. He ws-s shown to the stage by the Officers of the union in charge of the meeting. and met MT. Schurz in full view Uf the audience. They clasped hands in a. greeting that lasted fully d minute while the crowd looked on and ap- plauded approvinSly. The reception given the candidate was but a repeti- ton of others that have heed gIy@n him in New York, and, in fact on every occasion when he has mace puf- lie addresses. The demonstration con tinued for eight minutes before hs was permitted to begin his speech.
 Cooper Union was filled long be:ore the meeting opened. The band rlayed patriotic music and the eudIerce 'cheered for the candidate again and again before the meeting opened The first demonstration was made at 7,45 o'clock, when Mir. Schurz arrived. A few minutes later the meeting was called to order by Herman RiddeT. who Introduced Mir. Schurz as chairman.
 Judge Pavker's speech was aImost entirely devoted to the subjects or iTu- perlalism and militarism, and tli= sub jects seemed peculiarly popular with the audience of German-Americans. He was interrupted frequently with prolonged applause. and Ur.ce, when he paid homage to Mir. Schurz as one who had felt the blighting power" of mil

 A heavy train, bound from Ne " YcrE, was just pulling out Of the Mount Vernon station when the ex % plosiOn occurred, and thu engineer stopped until the track was cleared. In another minute this train would have reached the bridge. Most of the per sons injured were caught by railing ceilings and walls in houses nearby.

HOlE-IN-T -ThE-WALL GANG
Capture or Death of the hurderers Is
 Near at Hand.

Omaha. Neb., Nov. "A special to the Bee from Cody, Wyo., says:
 Several battles have been fought be- tween the posses and outlaws. who at tempted to rob the First National bank of Cody yesterday, and who murdered CashieF L. o. Middaugh. But the ban dfts are still at large. although their capture or death is but a matter of a few hours.
 At dawn today the officers came up on the bandits in camp on Grey Bull river, sixty-five miles from the scene of last evenings battle. The robbers refused to surrender, and put up u hard fight. The horse of one of the oe- hcers was killed and some of the men had narrow escapes. The robbers sue ceeded in getting away. The posse fol- lowed slowly. because of the necessity of avoiding a possible ambuscade.
 The outlaws were again overtaken on Icnos creek, thirty miles from AIeeteet- see and eighty miles from Cody. and another fight occurred. One of the bandits was wounded in the thigh, but his companions hoisted him into his saddle and, after a running fight for four miles, the outlaws again got away.
 A courier came into Meeteetsee to- lllSuL with news that the murdererS had been surrounded in a forest on Cottonwood creek and that their cap ture is likely to occur at any time. The outlaws had been called upon to sur render, but had refused to come forth. Night came on, and no attempt was made to do any shooting. The timber will be closely guarded during the night, and the outlaws will probably be taken or killed in the morning IT captured they will be taken to Cody and possibly lynched.
 Colonel Cody arrived in Cody this evening with his Indian trailers. scouts and cowboys. accompanied by a party of English noblemen and New York clubmen. Cody will take the trail of the outlaws at once His guests have been invited to accom- pany him, and some of the younger members of the party will accept.
