John Armstrong Chaloner, who has
leapcd into the public print many
times during the past twenty years
is to commence a bombardment of the
press, from Alexandria, which he lik--
ems to that instituted by Zola in be-
half of Dreifus. Mr.. Chaloner came
to Alexandria yesterday and opened
the first broadside of his campaign.
He arrived shortly after four o'clock
and was driven directly to the Ga
zzette office where more than twenty
representatives of Washington and
New York newspapers were waiting to
meet him. The courtesies of the Ga
zette Office were, extended him and he
asked that he might be permitted to
use it in his subsequent interviews.
!; Mr.. Chaloner wore blue serge
suit, white sox, and pearl scarf pin,
tan shoes and a short tan overcoat.
Asssoon as he had counted noses and
asked what papers were represented
he removed his overcoat which he
placed over his knees and feet saying
that his feet sometimes got cold, but
that. he never got "cold feet"
Mr.. Chaloner's interview which COM
menced at four o'clock lasted for ovel
two hours and he went over the same
ground to another party of newspap'
er men who arrived at z o'clock. He
had three principal topics to talk
about, but at times he wandered iron
these subjects into other matters.
He commenced with the great IN
Justice done him by his family ane
their connections in New York city II
having him adjudged insane and tolt
graphic story of the horrors he ha'
experienced in Bloomingdale where h
was imprisoned, for four years. III

him to complete the answer and whel
presented in New York courts Judg
Holt refused to let it be read to tn
jury. This is the principal cause fo
the impeachment proceedings brough
by Chandler against Judge Holt.
With reference to these proceed
ings Mr.. Chaloner dictated the fo
lowing statement:

Mrs. Dora Gilgert, the first wife of
Herman Rosenthal, who was willing
to make an affidavit that would damn
the gambler among self-resepecting
men, can and will corroborate the con-
fessions of Jack Rose and "Bridgey"
Webber that Police Lieut.. Becker, of
the New York police, planned and or
dered the assassination of Rosenthal.
Mrs. Gilbert, the case-off wife, who
had been deserted for another woman
younger and prettier, was willing to
swear to these facts but she will not
stand for murder. Mrs. Gilbert de-
cided days ago to tell her story. Like
all other witnesses who have helped
make out the case against Becker she
fears death at the hands of the men
in the conspiracy.

him, but mob of SO men overpow-
cred the sheriff and deputies and,
taking Baker from the Jail, hanged
him within the city limits. No ar

GIRL ACCUSED
Of HORSE STEALING
Viola Hetrick in Trouble Over Ami
NAL She Claims Lover Left Her.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.-Miss Vi
ola Hetrick, daughter of a north
Lancaster county farmer, is in GUS
tody on a charge of horse stealing.
Back in August colt valued at
$1S5 was stolen from August Kos
bau, a farmer living in the neigh
borhood. Kosbau hunted far and
near for the animal, but it was not
until Fred Schweitser, living eight
miles distant. ran across descrip-
ton OF the missing animal and rec
ognized 1t as one that he had bought
for $45 from Miss Hetrick, at that
time a domestic in his employ, that
any trace of the animal was secured.
Miss Hetrick told Schweitser that
the horse had been bequeathed to
her by young man to whom she
was engaged and who died some
time ago. The matter was laid be-
fore the county attorney and Miss
Hetrick sent for. She told several
conflicting stories. One was that
she had bought it from a man who
was standing in front of the postof-
flee at Lincoln, and another was that
she had purchased it in Havelock.
Still another was that it had been
turned over to her by man who
had promised to give her $50 for
keeping it. She got s25 from
schweiser and was to secure the re-
mainder later.

boats for working under water, and
that is one thing that Chief Engin-
eer Cooper has not. So the govern
ment machinery afloat was employed
by the water power company to do
the excavating which must be done
under water in the river, since it is
impractical to cofferdam for the low
er part of the tail race extending
far down the river from the lower
end of the power house and new
lock.
The fleet has taken position in the
river for it's work which will occupy
considerable time and it consists of
the David Upton, flagship, the Iro-
quois; the Vulcan and the Ellen,
with the necessary quarterboats.
The canal, built in 1877, went out
of commission permanently at mid
night last by order of the secretary
of war and special orders issued by
Major Meigs. The Blackhawk came
down last evening and at once re-
turned UP river, in order to be above
Keokuk in the months during which
this point will be impossible for
boats.
The canal will be drained dry be-
tween the middle and lower locks,
the lock gates being sealed tight.
Not only is the immense dry dock to
be constructed, but the defender is
to be built across the canal above
the present works, where it connects
with the Iowa shore.

The government organ, Mir, ex-
pressed surprise that Turkey recog-
nizes her defeat but yet ignores the
the victors and seeks salvation from
the powers. The newspaper remarks
that such mediation in the past has
proved costly for Turkey territor-
tally, and If persisted in now may
cause her Asiatic empire to become
