FILIPINO WIVES AND CHILDREN DESERTED BY AMERICAN SOLDIERS Brave New York Girl Saved an Infant From Death A Spe cial Session of the Penn sylvania Legislature to Settle Coal Strike Other News. The officers in division head quarters are kept busy now davs. J not only with the departure of 'regiments,, but in looking after (wayward and miscreant husbands that are leaving for the states leav ing behind them wife and family, says the Manila Times.' How many soldiera who have left their lawful wives in the prov inces before coming to this city will probably never be known, but the wronged woman have found that there is some Consolation to be found in etatiDg their wroqgs to the commanding general of the division and a large number have taken advantage of the assistance offered. Tuesday six men were taken: one of, the transports in the bay, the: complaint in such case being able to show a neat marriage certificate many of them having been signed by the chaplain of some regiment who was on duty in the islands Yesterday J there were seven more women at the Estado Mayor, claim ing that their husbands were leav ing, that they , were both mother and wife, that were penniless, and their husbands on board the trans port Cook, now in quarantine, preparatory to sailing for the Un ited States. One pitiful case among the many was that of a beautiful native woman who was sitting on the beach opposite the door of General Chaffee office at the Estado Mayor, weeping as though her heart would break . The general happened to pass just as she wa3 in the midst of the sorrow, and ordered one of his aides to ascertoin the matter. An interpretor was called and the woman told the same pitiful story that she was the wife of a soldier by the name of McDonald, of M company, twenty-fifth Infantry, that her husband had gone to the states on the transport Crook, and left her and her child penniless. It is needless to say that the gen eral when made acquainted with the facts, ordered his launch to the vessel's side to have the mis cleant husband returned to the city. Cases of the kind are becoming so numerous that steps will be tak en to punish soldiers who have been lawfully married here and who return to the states deserting their families. The colored regiments , have not been alene in this, and complaints have been made of members of oth er regiments who have gone away and left a wife and baby in these islands, and several cablegrams have been sent over the sea to in tercept the parties before they are discharged, so as to bring them to justice, lhere is but httlethat can be done in the way ol punishment for soldiers who have been found guilty of deserting a family in these islands, but they can be discharged from the service without honor. Whether this would have any ef fect in stopping the practice is questionable, but it. would return them to the islands for discharge, would relieve the army cf such miscreants and would leave them here where they would be compelled to give support to their children, instead of turning them out on the streets to beg. Whenever a marriage certificate can be produced to show that the parlies were legally married the case will be looked into and the men will be ' brought ashore and dismissed without honor. Poughkeepsie, Aug 28 Accord ing to a report which reached this citp today from Ocean Grove, Miss Virginia Sweet a popular school girl of this city, is a heroine among the summer boarders of that New Jersey resort because of the bravery she displayed at the time of the baby parade at Ooean rove. Mise Sweet is nineteen years old, With her parents she is visiting Ocean Grove. She went out to see the baby parade, and stood on the curb to watch the long procession of baby carriages pas's by. J ust beyond her was a spirited horse at tached to a light wagon. Suddenly tone of the women turned over the carriage which she was pushing and its occupant, a tiny baby., fell out and rolled dir ectly under the horse. "Oh! My heaven! My baby will be crushed! screamed the mother. Even then the horse was moving restlessly and its right forward foot was raised in the air as if he would bring it down upon the little frame lying prostrate and helpless be neath its feet. Like a flash Miss Sweet sprang from the tide walk and seized hold of the up lifted foot. The horse began to prance but the Pough keepsie girl clung to his hoof and it was only a matter of seconds before strong hands grasped the animal by the head and another pulled the baby from its precar ious position. ' Harnsburg. Pa, Aug 30 Per sistent rumors were in circulation today that a special session of the legislature may be called by Gov ernor Stone in the interest of the legislation looking into the matter of arbitration of the strike in the anthracite region. It is understood that should there be a popular de mand, for calling the legislature to gether, a demand imperative and unmistakable, . representing the great mass of the people who have indirectly suffered by the coal strike, the governor would be con strained to call an extra session. While no confirmation of these rumors can be secured from an of linial source it is stated tonight that a legislative solution of the grave situation in the strike is pos sible. ' Berlin, Aug So The price of meat in Germany continues to rise, and the town councils and other bodies and the newspapers in every part of the country are discussing what is called a "meat famine." The Butcher's Guides advanced the price of meat this week from 24 to 5 cents per pound, A good j steak costs 44 cents in Berlin. Meats are generally reported statis tically 26 per cent higher- there now than in 1900, although in Rot terdam, Paris, Vienna and Buda pest tyhe are only lo per cent high er. Germany's more rapid advence is attributed to the scarcity of home animals, the exolusion of foreign livestock and and the prohibition of canned meats thus suspending large American . imports. Ham burg figures show that the imports of American salt and smoked meats in 1901 were only i28,8oo metric hundred weight against 3o5,2oo in 1898. The import of sausages have shrunk in the meantime from 18,ooo to 880 metric hundred weight and American canned meats from 34,6oo to 18,9oo metric bund ed weight. Berlin slaughtered in July 511o fewer animals than in July 1901,' in spite of the increas population, and the slaughterings were further diminished in Aug ust. The officials of the kingdom of Saxony report 5 per cent de crease in the slaughterings since 19ol and & great lack of animals suitable for butchering. A number of important muni cipalities have petitioned the gov ernment to open the frontiers to livestock. The Prussian ministers of agriculture, Herr Podbielski, replying to a deputation of the Posen council said that it was im possible to with draw the exclus ion decrees, averring that the ex clusion of foreign animals had immensely improved the veterin ary conditions of Germany.

Bequeaths Land Worth $1,000,000 to Earl and Countesss of Warwick ; Duke of Marlborough in Automobile Accident Other News, Waseca, Minn, Aug 3o Two persons were killed, three fatally injured and more than a score hurt tonight in the wreck of a train which had been hurled down an embankment by a tornado. A west bound train on the Chicago & North western R R, consisting of an en gine, a baggage car, and two crowd ed passenger coaches was struck by a tornado while running at the rate of 35 miles an hour two miles from Meridan. The passenger and baggage cars were hurled IS feet down the embankment to the fence guarding the right of way. A brakeman was lighting the lamps when the crash came and the wreckage was ignited by the spill ing oil. The engineer is reported to have seen the tornado in apparent pur suit of the train and scarcely an instant, before the wind struck the cars the train gave a lurch in a sudden spurt to evade the funnel shaped fury. It was 5:40 when the train was struck. Fully an hour and a half elapsed before the wrecking train arrived. The engine did not leave the track, the baggage and passenger coaches having been twisted off and hurled downward to the bot tom. The baggage car was shat tered to splinters. The two dead were jammed in the wreckage and their- bodies cut out with . axes. . It is feared that more bodies may be found under the debris and wreck ing gangs sent from WaseCa, are at work on ;the shattered cars. The brakeman who was lighting the lamps in one of the passengers coaches when the tornado struck, cannot be' found tonight. It is feared his body may be in the wreckage. Passengers saw him strike the" under side of the coach with teriffic force and at the same time t he lamp that he had been trimming was smashed into splinters. The injured and the bodies of the dead were brought to Waseca, by physicians who attended to the seriously injured. London, Aug 22 The Essex county Chronicle says it hears that Cecil Rhodes bequeathed to the countess of Warwick lands in South, Africa which have been sold for $1,000,000. The Earl and Countess of War wick have an estate in Essex. The Countess formerly Lady Bourke, the famous beauty known as "bab bling Bourke,' was given that nick name because it was supposed it was she who first whishered the baccarat scandal in which King Edward, then Prince of Wales, figured years ago. The Countess founded Brooke house at Reading for the training of women and later added to it, a colonial department in which women are taught cook ing, housewife! laundry work and dressmaking. Some time before the death of Rhodes the countess published an article oh "Training Girls for the Transvaal." iu which she appealed to ' Andrew Carneigie for aid in the work. At the time some of the provis ions of Mr Rhodes will were made public and it was reported that he had left a large sum to the Earl and Countess of Warwick because the Countess, more than any other Englishwoman, best personified British imperialism.

Gears the -9 19 Kind Vou Have Always PougB Signature Of A FORGERY CASE BY A TELEGRAPH OPERATOR AT CRESENT, WASHINGTON. - The Oldest Naval Officer Now 9Ett Years Old Attempt to Wreck an S. P. Passenger Train Near Shedd by Placing Ties on Track. Spokane, Aug 28 Among tha troubles that Harry Tracy, the out- law, left to the people interested or instrumental in his death, the latest to appear is a forgery case. Floyd Johnson, telegraph operator and railroad agent at Creston, is the central figure of the transaction and he is now under arrest for the ser ious charge. The complaining witcess is Constable Charles Straub one of the Creston party, which will probably receive the reward for Tracy' undoing. The groundt for the arrest and the trial, which will be soon held are given by the Creston authorit lea as ioiiows: About the time of the death of the outlaw, the New York World sent so it is claimed, a telegram to Sheriff Gardner at Creston, asking that official to send a dispatch con taining a descriptive story of the captuje, and to draw a sight draft on the World for $50. It is alleged that Johnson, being the receiving operator at Creston, took the message 'and instead of delivering it to the person addres sed, he suppressed the telegram and sent the story to the World over the signature of Charles Straub. He then went to the bank and eign- ed Straub's name to the Bight draft of $50. Straub, on being informed of the occurrence by the bank, officials immediately went to Davenport, the county seat, and made com plaint to the prosecuting attorney. . i he officers notified the telegraph and railroad officials that Johnson would be arrested and a man was sent to Creston to relieve the op erator. Sheriff Gardner then vis-! ited Creston, and placed Johnson under arrest. His bond was fixed at $loco, and was furnished. It is stated by some of those in terested that nothing can be done, to the accused, as he simply adopted an assumed name, that ha did not defraud Dtraub out cf any thing by signing his name and in no way laid himself liable to pun ishment on the charge of forgery. The case will come up for hearing, in the near future. Washington, Aug 23 The oldest living officer of the navy is the most sensitive of any in the serv ice about his age. He is Rear Admiral Thomas O Selftidge, re tired. No one except the admiial knows his age and he won't tell. Theerecord shows the admiral to was born in Massachusetts. They also show that he was appointed from that state in Jan 1818, many years before , the establishment of the naval academy or the invention of the rifle guys. Midshipmen of his day entered young, and allow ing the admiral to have been fifteen at that time, he is now ninety nine, years old. If he lives nntil next January it is believed tbat he will turn the century mark.. The admiral dislikes to have any one mention age to him, and as far as the retiring age is concerned, he thinks it ought to be .seventy two instead of sixty two. Washington is his home where he has lived since his retirement, more than 3o years ago. His eldest son is Rear Admiral Thomas O Sefridge Jr now about sixty six years of age. There is another son, a com mander in the navy. Albany Railway officials here were apprised early Wednesday of a distardly attempt to cause dis aster to the seoond section of the northbound passenger train v by placing ties on the track near Shedds, the station some 26 miles below Eugene. 1 Train No 16 was in two sections which ran about 24 minutes apart, The first section passed through Eugene at 3:13, and the seaond went through at 3:31. ; The first section passed through.
