quiry to Start at Once.
Milwaukee, Sept. 50. Dispatches re
ceived by General Superintendent Col
lins, of the Wisconsin Central road,
from, the division superintendent, gives
the following particulars of the.attempted
.robbery near Waupaca last night : '
Two rails and a number of ties were
placed on the track. When the engine
struck the obstruction, it kit the track,
and Tan the length of 30 rails. The
. mail and baggage ca- also left the track.
" Engineer Blain ran south, ahead of a
train going to Waupaca on foot.
The leader of the gang took the fire
man back to the express car and de
manded of Messenger Bobinson that he
open the car door, making threats that
they would use dynamite unless it was
done. When Bobinson opened the door
be began shooting in the direction of the
robbers, and emptied his revovler.
Twelve separate'charges were exploded
nnder the safe, arid failing to blow it
open, the leader remarked: "It's no
use trying any further." , They then
left, firing several shots through the
windows of the sleeper and coaches.
The safd was locked at St. Paul, and
could only be opened, by a representa
tive of the eompany at Chicago, The
messenger never knows the combina
tion. The trains were all moving at 8:40

Smuggler May Escape.'
St. John's, Sept. 20. The board of
revenue has commenced an inquiry in
to the charges of smuggling against a
number of persons accused. They were
- compelled to this course by the evident
intention of the government not to insti
tute a proper prosecution. It is reported
t that a public meeting, arranged by - the
clergymen . of various denominations,
will be held in a day or two to demand
that the government do its duty.
Charges are daily reiterated, and not
contradicted, that five Whiteway mem
bers of the assembly are active partners
- in the smuggling syndicate.' It is under
stood that serious trouble is breeding in
the government camp, one faction in
sisting upon and tbe.other opposing the
prosecution. This may develop into an
open rupture.

HOT WAVE BROKEN
HeaYv Storm From the
Canadian Northwest:
THE FAR EAST STILL SWELTERS
The Peary Expedition Returns From Its
Last; Cruise in the Frozen
Northland.
Washington, Sept. 22. Willis L,
Moore, chief of the weather bureau, has
prepared the following special -bulletin
"At this writing the temperature at
Chicago is 84 degrees and the maximum
temperature during the day was 94 deg
greee, and by tomorrow morning' the
much-needed and long-wished-for cold
wave will have extended over Illinois
causing a fall ot from 40 to 45 degrees in
temperature. The approach of this cold
wave over the central Mississippi valley
was anticipated by the published fore
casts of the bureau Saturday. This
morning a special bulletin was issued
giving warning of the decided change
in the temperature' to 1265 stations
located in the states of the upper Miss
issippi valley and upper lake region
Those warnings have been extended
eastward to the states of the Ohio valley
in anticipation that the cold wave will
extend over these states Monday night.
"The approach of this cold wave was
first indicated by reports received from
the extreme northwest Canadian sta
tions Thursday, and Its slow movement
to the south was due to an extended
area of high pressure, which covered the
eastern half of the United States with
its ' center over the south Atlantic
states.
"This distribution of pressure gave
persistent warm southerly winds, until
the area of high pressure covering the
cold wave gathered sufficient force to
overcome the resistance. The cool wave
wa9 driven almost southward over the
Rocky mountain states during the 20th
and 21st, attended by snows and freez
ing weather in Colorado, the Dakotas
and Nebraska:.' While there was some
uncertainity as to the rapidity of the
advance of this cool wave to the east
ward, when it first appeared in the ex
treme northwest, there was strong pro
bability Saturday that it would extend
over tne central valleys tonight. Tne
report of the day justified a wide distri
bution of emergency warnings.
"The wide development of the depres
sion which is now central-over Lake Su
perior, will hasten the movement of this
cool wave to the eastward. '
THE PEAKY EXPEDITION.
Nothing Practical Has Been Achlered

St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 21. The

Lieutenant Peary and Hugh Lee, with

ure. Independence bay, the most northern
part of Greenland, was reached early in
Jane, but they were 'deterred from the
great undertaking by an insufficiency of
food. They were obliged on this account
to abandon the attempt to make further
progress. K Nearly all the dogs perished
and the remainder had to be shoTowing

S weltering Chicago Is Hoping for Cool

Chicago, Sept, 21. Owing to the ex
treme heat which has been prevalent in
this city this week, the postofflce de
partment dropped one collection and

completely worn out, and it was feared
serious results would follow a full day's
work in the sun. The last fonr days
have been the hottest in the history of

that I felt miserable the greater part of

by friends were tried, none of which
proved suitable to my case. I did not
experience any beneficial results until I
began taking Chamberlain's Cough Re
medy. After two bottles of the large

state, my health is better than it lias

Custer Massacre Recalled. -
Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 23. The
tra-gal-In-
Big
gic deatn of General Custer and his
lant men at the hands of the Sioux
dians iq the massacre of tne Little
Horn was recalled here this week by the
forwarding to Mrs. Custer of a check
for $1500, drawn to the order of General
George A. Custer in 1876. The check is
dated June 25, and is signed by B. L.
Smith, at that time assistant paymaster
in the army. ., It was on June 25, 1S76,
that the massacre took place. The
check is still unpaid, and soiled and tat
tered though it be, constitutes a valid
claim against the government for the
amount represented upon its face, which
was no doubt intended as part payment
of General Custer's salarv as an officer
of the United States army.
Where the check lias been all these
years no one knows, least of all Michael
Francis, who foun-t it in the etreot here
last February, and who has retained it
in his possession until now. When
Francis picked up the bit of paper it was
almost as legible as when it was drawn,
but three heavy creases in it showed
that it had 'been worn through. The
parts were joined together by narrow
stripe of paper pasted on the, back, and
the edges somewhat soiled, as though
the paper had at one time been dropped
in tbe mud. ,
No endorsements appears, upon the
back of the check, and the face shows
tbe mark of no cancellation stamp, de
monstrating that tbe check has never
been -presented for payment. The check
was no doubt forwarded to the North
west before the news of the Casters mas
sacre reached Washington. Had it
reached those in charge of the dead sol
dier's effects It would have heen sent
back at once in order that one payable
to their heirs could been sen f on in its
place. It has evidently been nnder
shelter somewhere, and the chances are
that it was lost recently and swept out
into the street, where it was fonnd bv

SPEED RECORDS.
Fast Time That Has Been . Made on
Various Hallways.
Cape May, N. J., Sept. 23. Theodore
N. Ely, chief of the motive power of tbe
Pennsylvania railroad system, waB asked
the facts in the controversy between the
American and British railways .over
speed records :
"iirst of allethe world's, record for a
long-distance train," said Mr. Ely,- "is
held by the London & Northwestern
road, and is, by the official figures just
received, 61.8 miles an hour for-540
miles.'' Second, the longest ran ever
made without a stop was 439 miles in
10 hours and 5 minutes. This was the
J arret & Palmer train from Jersey City
to San Francisco. Third, the speed re
cord in the United States for a long-distance
train seems to be held by the New
York Central, with 48Go-mile run at
the rate according to the newspaper re
ports, of 64.6 miles an hour, although
the Railroad Gazette of September 20
gives the figures at 04.25. I, of course,
have not the official data for that parti
cular record. '.Fourth, the fastest record
for 58 3-10 mileB is' held by the Pennsyl
vania company, W) miles an hour.
Fifth, the fastest record for 5 1-10 miles
is at the rate of 102 miles an' hour made
by ft regular train on the Pensylvannia
