ON CHARGES GROWING OUT
OF NATION WRECK.
MARSHALL SEMPSELL
ALSO IN THE TOLLS
interurban Officials Taken in Custody
In Chicago on Charge of Criminal
Negligence Tending to Produce
Manslaughter.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Judge Peter s.
Grosscup of the United States circuit
court and marshal E. Sempsell, one
OF the receivers of the Chicago Union
traction company, with other mem
bers of the board of directors and Off
GERS of the Nation & Charleston In.
terurban Railroad company were ar
rested here Wednesday as the out
growth of the indictments voted at
Charleston, ILL.,, in connection with the
wreck on the electric railway last
August The true bills charge Grim
inal negligence tending to produce
.manslaughter. Bonds of $4,000 have
been furnished in each case.
E. H. Slower of Coles county ar
rived here at 1890 a. m. over the I'LL
nois Central road, armed with war
rants for the arrest of the defendants
living in this city.
AT noon he went to the Marquette
building, where he served the war
rants on all the indicted men who had
gathered there for the ordeal"
The indicted men were given an
opportunity to furnish bonds through
counsel, but, according to the plans of
Coles county authorities, all must ap-
rear in person at Charleston next Mon
day, to sign the legal documents. The
cases will then be continued until
week after next Motions to uuash the
indictments will probably be filed at
once.
President Edgar A. Potter, superin-
tendent Fred More and Motorman
Charles Bolts, who were arrested
Tuesday, also furnished bail, the bonds
being fixed at $4,000, except in the
case of Bolts who was released on Sc.
curity of $1,000.
Plans for legal battle to have
quashed the indictments returned
against them at Charleston, as a re-
suit of the fatal wreck last summer
were laid by Judge Grosscup, Marshall
e. Sampsell, Arthur W. Underwood, F.
S. Peabody and other directors of the
electric road
In the battle to have the indict.
ments Quashed it is understood that
the defendants will argue that the &C.
ton of the grand jury was ill consid.
cred and unwarranted and that the in.
dictment of directors on charge of
criminal carelessness tending to pro-
duce manslaughter cannot hold under
the law.
May Turn in Other Indictments.
Charleston, ILL.,, Oct. 31.-The Coles
county grand jury is still in session
here and it is predicted that other
indictments in the Charleston & Mat.
toon interurban line cases besides
those already decided upon will be re-
turned. Francis S. Peabody of Chi
cago, a director of the company, was
among those indicted. L. c. Rose of
Chicago, formerly treasurer of the
company was not indicted.
The case will be heard before Judge
Morton w. Thompson of Danville.
The trials will begin week after next
in all probability.

tok, the crews of three torpedo-boat
destroyers, the Skory, Serdity and
Trevotshny, mutined, hoisted the red
flag and shelled the port, doing con-
siderable damage to buildings and
killing some soldiers and civilians.
The Skory, on board of which were
three revolutionary agitators, includ.
ing one woman, took the lead in the
mutiny, the crew rising at the in.
stance of the agitators, killing the
commander of the boat and wounding
the other officers, who were over
powered and confined below decks.
The fire of the rebellious torpedo
boat destroyers was answered by the
batteries ashore and from the gunboat
Mandjour and the torpedo-boat de-
stroyers Grosovoy, Smelly and others.
They surrounded the Skory and
poured raking fire into her, which
battered her to pieces, exploded her
two boilers and caused fire to break
out on board. Nearly all the mutt
neers of the Skory were killed on the
vessel. The three or four survivors
threw themselves into the sea.
The mutiny on board the Trevot-
shiny was quelled by her own crew,
after six of the mutineers had been
killed and six wounded

The Fall of the Boss

Rhode Island has cause for rejoicing
In the resignation OF Boss Brayton
from the executive committee of the
Republican state central committee, as
a preliminary step towards retirement
from political life. After 80 years of
devoted service TO party and pocket,
this unselhsh patriot lays down his
sword wraps the mantle OF virtue
about him. and bids the torch he hand
ed on to younger and abler" hands
Why linger further In an age and
among a race that would not have Colt
for United States senator? The his
toric ingratitude of republics drives
the boss from his office in the state
house, which was so long a home to
him. The fall is tragic, and yet Rhode
Island can scarcely be blamed for
yielding to the spirit OF the time and
seeking her own publication. Like
Delaware she has shown that even "
the small state may he more easily
captured by the political brigand, there
are limits beyond which audacity can
not go. Evidently the wave OF reform
has not yet spent its force. and the
name or title OF boss is still odorous
