WHO RETIRES TO PARTS UNKNOWN
He Concocted a Dime Novel Story
About Her Daughter and She
Believed Him.
Denver, Col., March 27; About three
years ago Mrs. Helen C. Woods, a rich
widow employed a man calling himse
B. F. Frane, but whose real name is
Owens, to take a number of horses from
Denver to Los Animas. There he was
arrested on suspicion of having stolen
the horses. He was soon released, how
ever, and on his return to Denver he
told .Mrs. Woods that while he was in
jail he overheard a conversation between
two men who had been employed to
kidnap Mrs. Wood's 4-year-old daugh
ter, Millie, for the purpose of gaining
possession of certain property in Pitts
burg, Pa., to which she was sole heir.
As Mrs. Woods has rich relatives in
Pittsburg, she believed the stories, and
gave Frane within a few months $12,000
to be used in frustrating the plot and
getting possession of deeds and securi
ties that were on deposit in a Cincinnati
bank. After a short absence he returned
and reported that he had obtained the
papers, but had killed two men in es
caping and that the detectives were on
his trail. He represented to taer that
she was also liable to be arrested, as he
was acting as her agent. Mrs. Woods
gave him $3,000 to buy off the detectives.
February 21st Frane returned to Denver
and the next day he got from . Mrs.
Woods two drafts on Kountze Bros., of
New York, one for $2,000 and the other
for $3,000, and- she has not seen him
since. Mrs. Woods finally consulted a
lawyer, who reported the matter to the
police. A detective traced Franca to
Lima, Ind., where all trace of him was
lost.

The Telamtograpb.
Chicago, March 28. A number of
newspaper men and invited guests wit
nessed an exhibition of Prof. Eliaha
Gray's telautograph in -the Home In
surance building' this afternoon.; The
telautograph, as its name implies, ena
bles one to transmit instantaneously by
wire a fac simile of his handwriting to a
distance. An ordinary pen or pencil is
employed. As it moves a pen at the other
end of the line moves simultaneously
and forms the words and letters in pre
cisely the same way. ' Whatever is

The tests this afternoon were entirely
satisfactory, many of them being made
by the guests. Writing sketches, maai
cal notation, and stenographic charact
ers were transmitted with equal fidelity.
The tests were made through artificial
resistances representing many hundred
miles of wire. It is expected that the
telautograph will be generally used as an
adjunct to the telephone and for busi
ness purposes generally where private
wires are employed.
. Burned to Death.
Lafayette, Or., March 27. A sad ac
cident occurred last evening down on the
Gibbons Bros.' farm, about three miles
east of this place, in which George Gib
bons lost his life. George and Dan
Gibbons were doing some butchering
some distance from the former's house,
when they discovered his house on fire.
On arriving at the house George, be
lieving his family to be within, made a
rush into the house and was soon over
come by the intense heat and smoke.
Dan made repeated efforts to get at his
unfortunate brother, but owing to the
intense heat was unable to do so. Only
a small proportion of the remains could
be found. Dan Gibbons was severely
burned about his face and hands. At
the time of the fire the family of the un
fortunate man had gone over to his
brother's house vleiting, and had George
known of the safety of his family the
unfortunate affair would not have oc
curred. George's family consists of a
wife and four children, who have the
sympathy of the large community in
which they live.
Maxwell Outlines His Course.
Washington, March 27. Fourth as
sistant Postmaster-General Maxwell to-
daa indicated the line of policy which
will govern him in his selection of about
50,000 fourth-class postmasters this year.
He said :
"In the first place I don't propose to
permit unsuccessful politicians to dic
tate appointments. Ex -congressmen
and men who ran for congress and were
defeated will not control appointments
under . me. In the state where there
is not a democratic senator and the
districts are represented - by republi
cans in congress, the state district
county democratic committees will be
asked to make recommendations for
postmasters."
Supreme Conrt Decision.
Washington, March 27. -The United
States supreme court has decided that
the United States could not condemn
the property of private corporations
without considering in the proceedings
the earning capacity thereof. The de
cision grew but of proceedings to con
demn the locks of the Monongahela
Navigation Company, in which the right
of .the company to collect tolls on vessels
passing through the locks was not con-
eider ed, such action being taken in obe
dience to an act of congress in relation
to the matter.
The Routine Proceedings.
Washington, March 27. The resolu
tions offered in the senate by Chandler
directing an inquiry into the operations
of the immigration laws were laid over.
A majority report was made by Hoar in
favor of admission to seats of senators
appointed by the governors of Montana,
Wyoming and Washington. A minority
report adverse will be made tomorrow
by Vance.
Call addressed the senate on his reso
lution annulling the provision of the last
legislative appropriation bill for the ap
pointment of a commission by the sen
ate and house to examine into the civil
.service of executive appointments. Call's
resolution went over without action and
the senate went into executive business.

A NEVER ENDING WAR
Brazilian Rerolntidnists Are Badly De
moralized. CANNOT HOLD OUT MUCH LONGER
The Marching of the Troops Marked by
Many Outrages and Lawless
Acts.
Valparaiso, March 27. General
Saraiva's defeat by government troops
near Alegro, Bio Grande do Sul, on
Thursday was a greater blow to the
Brazilian revolutionists than was at first
thought. Advices from Rivera say that
General Saraiva was not only beaten
badly, but that 3,000 of his men were
made prisoners. He also lost a large
amount of ammunition and arms. The
news from Bage is to the effect that
General Tavarez is entrenched outside
the Castilhistas stronghold, and is shell
ing the town from the bills with several
large-sized guns. No general attack has
yet been made upon the garrison. So
far as the Castilhists and federals are
concerned, they appear to be mainly en
gaged in avoiding an engagement. Their
marches through the district affected by
the revolution have been marked by
many outrages. Women appear to have
been the chief sufferers from the atroci
ties. Many homes have been destroyed
and women subjected to assaults of the
most dastardly character. Stories reach
here almost daily of attacks upon women
and young girls which are difficult to
believe. Meanwhile it is apparent that
the war must soon end through the in
terference of the general government of
Brazil. ' One thousand two hundred
troops from the general government
reached Rivera yesterday, and this
makes the number of the national army
in Rio Grande de Sul more than 5,000.
Tney are well armed and equipped, and
it will not be possible for the revolution
ists to bold out against them very long.
It is believed here that Tavarez will be
met at Bage by a force of national troops
large enough to overwhelm him and end
the war there.
The correspondent in Montevideo says
that armed bands from the Rio Grande
have again crossed the border into Uru
guay, where shots were exchanged with
Uruguayan troops. There is another
ministerialcrisis in Argentina, and Vic
toria Romero is expected to resign.
The trouble grows out of the considera
tion of the treaty with Brazil.
A. Strange Heavenly Body.
San Francisco, March 27. 11 :30 a.
m. ine most peculiar phenomenon is
visible in the heavens here, a little south
of west and not far above the horizon.
It appears like a large star and occasion
ally flames out red and blue sparks. It
is rapidly moving from the south to the
north and is slowly sinking. Efforts are
being made now to reach Lick observa
tory and other observatories, which are
shot off from telegraphic communication
at this hour. The same phenomenon is

Not Seen at Z.lck Observatory.
San Jose, Cal., March 27. Communi
cation was gained by telephone between
Lick observatory and here about mid
night, but before the telescope could be
fixed on the phenomenal star it had
sunk below the horizon and no observa
tions could be taken. In this city the
phenomen was quite perceptible, ap
pearing as very brilliant, periodically
fashing forth red and blue light. As it
crossed the line of the horizon it ap
peared as a double star to the naked eye.
Witnessed by Hundreds at San Diego.
San Diego, Cal., March 2a The phe
nomenon was first noticed at midnight,
slightly south of west. At 1 a. m. it was
north of west, and moving rapidly north
and sinking toward the horizon. It had
the appearance of a star of the first mag
nitude emitting a continual brilliant
sparkle of green, red and yellow, lights.
A flash occasionally shot from the daz
zling center. Good glasses failed to re
veal the disk. The sky was perfectly
clear at 1 130 and the star had sunk so .
low it was hid by the heavy fog over the
ocean. The most brilliant spectacle was
witnessed by hundreds of people.
Too Mneh drain In- Mexico.
City of Mexico, March 27. The re
moval of the duties on corn which went
into effect March 15, has caused another
great rush of grain into Mexico from the
United States. There has also been a
great decrease in the price of corn in this
city and other places in Mexico to which
it is being shipped. Shippers are com
plaining of the action of the railroad
companies in maintaining high freight
rates, and the government will be ap
plied to in the matter.
Lincoln Will be an Kmbassador.
London, March 27. In the commons
Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary under
secretary of foreign affairs, stated he had
been informed of the intention of the
United States to create an ambassador to
the court of St. James in reciprocation
for the friendly action of her majesty in
raising the British minister at Washing- -ton
to the rank of ambassador.
Three days is a very short time in
which to cure a bad case of rheumatism ;
but it can be done, if the proper treat
ment is adopted, as will be seen by the
following from James Lambert, of New
Brunswick, Els. : "I was badly afflicted
with rheumatism in the hips and legs,
when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. It cured me in three days.
I am all right today and would insist
on every one who is afflicted with that
terrible disease to nee Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and get well at once." 50
