 Empty--Case Bames
 Many sleuths.

Mecastle. Pa, Sept 4.--Over c bund- red men. all members of the state, railway. or private criminal catching organizations. are here tonight, straightening out . maze of bewilder- ing clues that may lead to the dis covery of the person or persons who early today pulled the spikes from q sixty-foot rail on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad near the siding at Chewton. ditching the Royal Blue flyer. enroute from New York to Chicago. Clue after clue. to those thought to be responsible for the decd was offered the officers today but each led to nothing.
 But one definite fact was establish ed. The train ditchers. after they had made the deraiiing of the flyer q cer- tainty. made across the marshy fields in the general direction of Wampum, 6 lonely foreign settlement. three miles from the railroad and as many more from here. Bloodhounds used by railroad detectives followed trail from the wreck scene. but after bringing up by New Castle butchers at Wampum, the animals lost the seemingly fresh scent and refused to go on any further.
 Tonight consensus of opinion was expressed by one of the Baltimore and Ohio police when he said. The train wreckers are in the vicinity of New Castle. They have not attempted to fly nor will they. They left the scene of their dastardiy work and. taking a roundabout way. came right back to the place they started from.
 On this theory. the many officers are working. Great rivalry exists on account of the large reward offered by the railroad company for the appre- hension of the criminals. 1 Since the accident New Castle has been wildly excited. Farmers in town on. business have deserted their trading for the more sensational topic the train wreck. Every one agrees the work to be that either of experi- enced railway men CT of persons familiar with the operation of the rail- iihdtng of q sfedre hammer and crow bar near the scene of the wreck further substantiates this theory, as the sooia were marked with the rail. way eompanx ifitimlk and had svia. entity been taken from a mainsenanct of way ear stationed there,
 All of the injured now ct the local hospitals win recover. 1t was learned tonight. Seventeen persons are heins expense, Late today s44,o00 was de- posited at a local bank by railway secret service men to the credit of Henry Willard. of LaFargem, Wis. who Hes injured at the Shenado sani- tarium. Willard carried a grip from New York City containing this amount in negotiable bonds. securities and cash had placed the satchel under a seat in the day coach. When the train was ditched. the satchel was lost for a time but was recovered by railway employees.

After she fell he evidently washed the blood from her head as a handkerchief still wet with, blood was found in his coat pocket.
 A curt letter to an undertaken found in Mrs. Orlamunder's handbag pointed straight to an agreement between wife and husband to die together. "Burv us and whatever the expense. you will be paid" 1t directed. A card in Orlamunder's pocket gave the name of a friend who. an endorsement sx- plained. would provide money for the funeral.
 Orlamunder had married the widow of his employer. the owner of a Jer- sey City beer garden, where for many years he had led the orchestra. A deed of title from the first husband to the burial plot where the two chose to die, was found in the wife's handbag.

 Hevenue Cutter In Stopping Fruit Company Ship e

!; New Orleans, La. Sept 4.-As q sequel tV . rumor of an alleged fili- bustering expedition with designs against the government of seyera, Central American Republics which of~ iginated in New Orleans two weeks ago. the steamer. Norwegian vessel under charter of the United Fruit Com pany. was held up late yesterday off the Mississippi river passes and searched by the officers and crew of the United States revenue cutter Davey. No contraband goods were found aboard the steamer. which was later permitted to continue the Journey from New Orleans to Port Limon.
 No oficiai report has yet been re- ceived by the federal authorities in New Orleans. Following the receipt of the news today. telling of the &C., tion of the officers of the revenue cutter, Colonel Crawford H. Ellis. manager of the United Fruit Company placed the matter in the hands of the company's counsel. IL was said today that Captain Hansen. commanding the Ellis. would make special report to the Norwegian counsui at New orleans the holding up of the steamer might become an international affair.
 About two weeks ago q report be- came current here to the effect that the Ellis had been chartered for a filibustering expedition. The steamer sailed on regular run the same day. The only ground for the report ap- parently was that the Ellis carried a small shipment of dynamite to be used for blasting purposes by a Gen. tral American Railroad. The report was denied and was forgotten until it reached Central America where 1t created considerable excitment in some places.
 At the United States District Att torney's office in New Orleans, 1t wns stated today that If the commander of United States revenue had req son to believe that vessel was carry ing contraband goods from an Ameri- can port to foreign country that he had a right to board the vessel and search 1t without ceremony.
 Tonight Manager Ellis, of the United Fruit Company gave out statement which indicated that there was little Likelihood of the matter being made an International incident. He said that the United States custom authorities had . perfect right to search the vessel and that he was glad that 1t had been done inasmuch as 1t showed that all the rumors in connection with the steamer being engaged in fili- bustering we're pure buncombe.

 Heat.

Lewiston. Pa. Sept. 1.-The chase of tn bandit who robbed the Pennsyiva- nia Railroad express train last Thurs days morning. was temporarily aban- doned this afternoon. the bioodhounds being unable to proceed further through the mountains for want of wa ter. and their owner.

Another searching party has been sent to the Ldcking-Cree region by way of Meinhart Gap. The blood hounds will be ready for service to- morrow, if needed.
