A FOOLISH CHIEF.
Bis Fondness for a Woman' Gets Him
x Into Tronble. -
Harrisbcrg, Sept 11. There is excite
ment in the Harrisbnrg police depart
ment and a sensation in the town on ac
count of Chief of Police Weikert'a at
tempt to save a woman whom he loved
from, being arrested. Weikert is a big,
handsome fellow, and was made chief of
police in 1888. He is married. For sev
eral years Weikeit has given much of
his time to the entertainment of Miss
Laura Weidman, a pretty brunette. The
woman made frequent calls at police
headquarters and passed much of her
time in the chief's private office. When
a charge of disorderly conduct was made
against Miss Weidman by her boarding
house keeper, Mayor Fritchley took the
matter in hand, and detailed Sergeant
McCann and two policemen to make the
arrest. She was discovered in a house
of questionable repute, and an attempt
was made to arrest her. Before the po
licemen got her out of the house Wei
kert appeared and ordered the men to
leave. They refused to obey, and locked
the woman in a room to get time to com
municate with the mayor. The police
men then took her to police headquar
ters, wnere the mayor locked her in a
dark pen in the courthouse cellar. This
was done while Weikert was protesting
wildly. Weikert continued to make ev
ery effort to secure the woman's release.
He accomplished this in the morning
after the keeper left by securing a key
from the janitor of the " courthouse. He
unlocked the cell door and. set Miss
Weidman free. The mayor discharged
Weikert from the force, and the ex-chief
has left town.
THE ITATA CASE.
A New Phase Developed sby the Steam
ship Company.
Los Angeles,. Sept.. 11. Attorney
William Goodrich, of New York, as
proctor for the South American Steam
ship company, the new claimant for the
Chilian steamer Itata, has filed an an
swer to the information for libel against
that vessel, in which he contends that
no lawful seizure of the vessel has ever
been made; that the seizure at Iquique
in June was without the territorial lim
its of the United States, and the sur
render ot the Itata was compelled by
violence by the United States cruiser
Charleston and was a breach of interna
tional law arid the law of nations. Fur
thermore, that the claimant company
which built the Itata for traffic purposes
had no participation in the use of the
steamship for the alleged unlawful pur-:
poses which caused the seizure, and
ought not, therefore, to be deprived of
its property. The answer prays that the
vessel be released and that claimant be
allowed costs and also damages for deten
tion. '
. WHO IS SHE?
Miss Ava Appears in Cincinnati as Mys
teriously as She did in Chicago.
Cincinnati, Sept. 12. The identity of
the woman who mysteriously disap
peared from Chicago . Wednesday eve
ning with the one who as mysteriously
appeared in this city last night is fully
established by the description of her
given by Mrs. Bolton of Chicago. She is
very anxious to identify herself as Miss
Ava, who was lost at college. "Tell
Mrs. Bolton," she said, "and that will
identify me better than anything else,
that 5-S000 in money arid coupons were
in her satchel, not mine, and they took
it and its contents. ' Now Mrs. Bolton
will know from this I am Miss Ava."
A Murderer at Large.
Albany, Sept. 12. A duel was fought
here a day or two ago by Jesse Moore of
Berrien county and R. P. Fletcher of
Ewen county, from the effects of ' which
Moore has just died. There has been
bad blood between the two men for some
time, and when they recently met, ac
companied . by friends, they agreed to
fight with their fists. After a few
rounds their hatred of each other became
too intense to "be satisfied with -such
mild methods, and they drew their re
volvers; when five shots were ex
changed, and Moore fell mortally woun
ded.' Fletcher was also wounded, but
not seriously, and fled from the state
without delay. He has not been appre
hended. Formally Charged With Murder.
San Francisco, Sept. 12. M. B. Cur-:
tis (Sam'l of Posen), was formally

AN UNEXPECTED MOVE
Awaiting Command to Send Troops to
European and Asiatic Turkey
Army Maneuvers.
Two Young Men Beat Their Father to
Death and Rob Him A New
Freight Schedule.
Berlin, Sept. 12. Hamburger corres
pondence contains a sensational article
entitled "Cossack Stroke of Bosphorus."
According to this act Russia meditates a
surprise to Constantinople by a conjoint
landing of 30,000 troops in European
and Asiatic Turkey. The Bosphorus
forts, it is said, are to be attacked from
the rear and an approach of the hostile
fleets is to be prevented by torpedoes,
while it is calculated the Russian torpedo
fleet could enter Golden Horn at night
and completely destroy the Turkish fleet
and that the whole could be accom
plished in twenty-four hours. Complete
plans for everything are said to be
ready and only command from St.
Petersburg is now needed.
TWO YOUNG SCOUNDRELS.
Beat Their Aged Father to Death in an
Attempt to Rob Him.
Berlin, Sept. 11. Two young men
named HoefHer, aged respectively
eighteen and twenty-four years, broke
into the house of their parents in the
Leder Strasse, this city, last evening,
believing it to be empty at the time, and
proceeded to the bedroom of their father
intending to steal some money which
was usually kept there.. The elder
Hoeffler was in the room, however, and
grappled with the burglars, whose iden
tity was, of course, unsuspected by him.
A fierce struggle followed, which ended
in the old gentleman being beaten to
death by his sons. . The criminals then
went on with the work of robbery, and
had broken open the money chest when
they were surprised by the return of the
mother, who had been spending the
evening with neighbors, and who was
accompanied by a number of friends.
The two parricides fled and escaped be
fore their mother had discovered the
dead body of her husband. The fugi
tives have not been traced.
THE AKHI MANEUVERS.
Press Representatives Not Allowed to
Witness the Russian Movements.
London, Sept. 11. The number of
troops engaged in the governments of
Kief, Padolia and Volhyniais about 100,
000. They are drawn from the interior,
and there is no diminuition of the great
frontier garrisons, scattered along the
Austro-Russian boundary. The maneu
vers are attended by the leading mili
tary commanders in European Russia,
and press representatives, both foreign
and native, are excluded. The St. Pet
ersburg and Moscow newspapers will be
supplied by the government with such
information as it is thought proper to
give. It is known that the maneuvers
include the feature of educating the
troops to the -familiarity with smokeless
powder, and that special attention is
given to the efficacy of the new rifle re
cently adopted by the czar.
A New Freight Schedule.
San Francisco, Sept. 12. The South
ern Pacific has issued a circular stating
that the scehule of the line north of
Ashland has been made to connect with
the schedule south of Ashland, making
continuous freight service from San
Francisco to Portland in 82 hours.
, A Petrified Woman.
Among the merchandise brought to
town on Saturday morning by the Amer
ican Express company was a black box
about seven feet long by two feet broad
and a foot , high, says the Butte Miner.
It weighed about 600 . pounds and its
contents were valued at $5,000. It came
from Helena and is the property of F. A.
Ransem. The contents are the natural
curiosity of Kate Carroll, the petrified
woman of Arizona. She died there in
1862 and was buried, - and in 1884, twenty-two
years later, when there was occa
sion to remove the remains, they were
found to be petrified. The form and fea
tures are said to be life-like, the entire
remains being permanently preserved
without any alteration to the contour.
Number Lost Said to be Fifty.
Athens, Sept. 12. A corrected esti
mate of the number of persons drowned
in the collision of Cape Colonna between
Italian and Greek steamships show that
fifty persons lost lives by sinking taor
mina; Failed for 8140,000.
Roanoke, Va., Sept. 12. Grandberg
& Morris, proprieters of a New York
wholesale clothing and notion house and
the Boston boot and shoe house have as
signed. Liabilities, $140000 ; assets not
known..
Crushed to a Pulp.
Aurora, Mo., Sept. 12. Floyd Brewer,
the foreman of the Floyd Crusher, to
day was caught in the rollers and la
terally crushed to a pulp.
DOES IT MEAN WAR?
Russian Troops Gathering; In Force
Along the Frontier.
Berlin, Sept. 11. A correspondent
who has been visiting the Russian
southwestern frontier of Bessarabia as
far as the Danube, says that troops are
rapidly arriving aud in large numbers.
This would be the base of departure for
a Russian army advancing toward the
Balkans and Constantinople. At Tutsch
Keff four regiments were quartered
where last year there were only two ; at
Valkovo and Kilio, five regiments had
recently arrived in addition to the men
already there. At Kagul three regi
ments arrived also hut a week ago, and
at Jalpuch reinforcements of 7000 men
have recently taken up their quarters.
Troops are pouring in at the same rate
in other villages. These places are of
little consequence apart from their situ
ation, where an army of invasion would
naturally concentrate. In view of these
facts, the correspondent concludes that
Russia intends, at no distant date, to
make across the Danube for Constanti
nople, and that her preparations show
that this time she means to have a force
sufficient to overcome all obsracles.
A COWARDLY ASSAULT.
A Member of the Georcla Legislature
Beaten so he May Die.
Atlanta, Sept. 11. While William '
Everett, member of the state legislature,
was standing at the cashier's desk in the
Kimball house last Tuesday night, he
was approached by Fred Cooper, a town
tough, who asked : .
"Are you a member of the legisla
ture?" "One of those who voted against the
Confederate home?"
"Yes."
"One of the ninety-three and a nig- "
ger?'"
"If you will have it so; yes."
TitL . 1 1 a. a l 1 . -,
ilu nie liiaj, worn vooptsr ueait Ev
erett a murderous blow, repeating it as
the legislator rose to go, then stamping
on him and kicking him unmercifully.
The crowd finally pulled the infuriated
man off. Everett was taken to his
room, and the report is that be will die.
He is bleeding internally, and his phy
sicians have fears for him. Cooper is a
grandson of ex-President Tyler.

J. D. Wilcox, of Portland, and Mr.
Jeffrey, from Canada, have purchased
the Todd quicksilver mine, near Oak
land and are operating the same with "
very satisfactory results both 'as to ore
and metal.

The Toledo coal mine tunnel is ninety
four feet into the mountain, and has
just " passed through a s.trata of large
clam shells. The men are now working
through some black slate, and the indi

coal bed.
Barbed wire on the farm is a fruitful
source of accidents.' At Jesse Porter's
farm in Benton county some horses be
came frightened while grazing in the
pasture, and in their wild rush ran
against the fence. One of them was
killed almost instantly and two others
badly crippled.
The cable and fixtures for the pro
posed new free ferry across Rogue river
were last Tuesday taken out to the ferry
site by A. Betz. The cable is 1 inches

three times the strain to which it is con
templated it will ever be subjected.
Mr. J. R. Crosby, who resides on
Upper Crooked river, Crook county, lost
his barn and about twenty tons of hay
by fire a few days ago. The fire was set

one to him as it would be to any poor
man. A horse escaped from the barn
after being somewhat scorched.

: . It is only when Chauncy M. Depew
begins to reflect that there are 600 inno
cent and helDless children who will have
to stagger through life bearing his name
that he loses all pleasure in a good din-,
ner and vaguely eats olives instead of
cucumber to his salmon.
. Senator W. D. Wasburn, of Minne
