H O .-A Metropolitan L train on the North-avenue d iv i sion made a thrilling run in the dead hours of the morning with a robber oaged in tbe motor car frantically en deavoring to escape. The plucky mo- torman and conductor prevented him from leaping through the window to probable death, aud after running the train w ild up and down tbe line they succeeded in attracting the attention of tbe police by furiously tooting tbe whistle. A Senaatloual Suicide. , Westminster, Md., Sept. 29.— Miss Carrie Horner, daughter of Charles Horner, of this place, committed sui- cide by taking strychnine today, under peouliar circumstances. She was to have been married at 11 o’ olook today to W illia m Brock, a grocer. Brock suggested they take a walk in the cem- etery, and there he informed her, ac cording to her father's statement, that he was not in a position to marry her. Upon this she became nervous and said she wished to be alone. Shortly after, Brook heard a scream and found her in convulsions. The father of the girl was so incensed that he started in quest o f Brook, swearing to k ill him, but the latter had left town. Ir o n M ines Closed Down. Ishpeming, Mich., Sept. 29.— The Lake Angeline iron mine, which in form er years paid $500,000 dividends annually, closed down all its works to night, throwing 600 men out of work. The oompany had sunk its surplus in improvements, and was unable to sell ore or secure cash advances thereon. MANY Au OF U n .cru p u lou « H IS K IN D . Adventurer Rub. . Denver W tdow . San Francisco, Sept. 29.— Robert Snowden, who claims to be a journal ist, was arrested last night on a war rant charging him with felony and em bezzlement. The oomplaining witness is Mrs. Sarah B. W illiams, a middle- aged widow, of Denver. She claims that Snowden, who is 28 years old, indnoed her to come to San Francisco on a promise to marry, and then cajoled her out of her money and jew elry and disappeared. Acoording to the woman’s story, she met Snowden in Denver some months ago, and, after a brief acquaintance, consented to marry him. He was in a harry to get back to tbe coast st tbe time, and she promised to join him at any time he sent for her. In pursu ance of this sgreement Mrs. W illiam s started for San Francisco, arriving here in oompany with Snowden, who bad gone to Sacramento to meet her, on August 10. Tbe young man took the widow to the Palsce hotel, where she registered and procured a room. For some rea son or another, her intended husband pnt off the marriage from time to time until he had succeeded in borrowing a ll o f her money and jewelry, on one pretext or another. Then he disap peared. Mrs. W illiam s waited pa tiently for him to return, but after sev eral dayB began to realize that she had been defrauded and that she was in debt at a fashionable hotel, with noth ing in her purse to warrant her stay. Mrs. W illiam s waited until her bill had readied $90, when the hotel man agement insisted on payment. The w idow explained her position, and was sent away from tbe hotel, her baggage being held for her bill. Tbe woman was utterly penniless, and was com pelled to seek shelter in a charitable institution. Snowden says be met tbe woman in Denver through s newspaper personal. llca. Salem. Or.., tq.pt. 28.— The mem- °?y ° ‘ Uharles .1. Huiteau, the assassin of President Garfield, has been revived here by a display of relics by a busi ness house. The collection is the prop erty of F. 8. Lull, nephew o f John C. Lrooker. who was warden of the W ash ington city ja il during tbe tim e of Guiteau’ a incarceration. Am ong the collection is a piece of the hemp rope with which the assassin was hanged, aud also a pieoe of the cotton rope that his hands were tied with. Each is about inches long. Warden Crocker died two years ago, but Mr. Lu ll has a certificate iu his uucle’ s handwriting that the hemp memento was out from the rope that hanged Guiteau. The collection also oonta ins a bottle of the Band used in testing the strength of the hangman's rope, a oribbage board made from the lid of Guiteau's ooffin, aud a lock of bis hair. A relio among the collection that at tracts special attention is a faosim ile of the bnllet that was aimed at ths prisoner by a ja il guard. The bnllet, after passing through Guiteau’ s ooal and a photograph iu his pocket, struck the brick w all and flattened out. The shape of the lead when picked up bore such a marked resemblance to the bust of Guiteau that it was preserved, aud facsimiles have since been made. Daring a part of the tim e of the as sassin's confinement in ja il, his m ail matter was two to three wagonloads a day. It oonsited mostly of letters de nouncing Guiteau, ofteu accompanied with hideous drawings aud pioturea, and the oontributiou of a bouquet by one person, Edward Diokey, a W ash ington florist. The collection secured from Mr. L u ll onntaiua a preserved leaf from the bouquet and the card whioh aooompanied it. On the o&rd is inscribed: “ W e meet in paardise. Farew ell.” Another neatly written card of tbe collection reads: “ Yon oall yourself G it-tow , You villainous, murdering imp;. But we are glad to know You surely w ill get hemp.” A pen-and-ink draw ing pictures a ja il with an empty cell and a scaffold in the rear. Below the empty oell is written: “ Empty is the oradle, Charles Guiteau is gone. ” Another represents Guiteau in agony jnst after the trapdoor baa been sprung. The picture is designated as “ the irresistible impulse. ” A pin, tbe head representing the as sassinated president, is accompained with the Instructions that it be worn Jane 30, 1882, tbe date of the execu tion. The L u ll collection contains a vast amount o f Confederate money. One b ill for $50 is made payable two years after secession has triumped. AN P ion eer O LD M A N 'S B R ID E .

Sanborn, an 82-year-old pioneer, was introduced to Mrs. Julia Hughes, a recent arrival from Oakland. It was a case o f love at first sight, and Sanborn prroposed m arriage im m edi ately. Next day tbe tw o were married and started off on a wedding tour, fo l lowed by the good-natured congratula tions of the townspeople. The fo llo w ing day they returned and settled down in Sanborn’ s house. The oonple seemed very happy, but today Sanborn’ s little romance came to a sadden end. The old man took his customary nap today, aod when he awoke be missed b it w ife, also $400. He investigated and found that Mrs. Sanborn bad hired a horse and departed with her trunk to some point outside of tbe county. Sanborn swore ont s warrant charging his bride with grand larceny, and the sheriff is now pursuing her. A M ayor’« Novel Idea. San Diego, Sept. 28.— M ayor C a rl son sent a novel communioation to tbe council last night. A resolution had been introduced strongly criticisin g the mayor “ for oavorting around the country,” and the mayor replied to it by setting forth his plans i f elected con gressman.

London, Sept. 29.— The wearisome Arm enian question has almost absorbed public attention during the week. The proposal o f Mr. Gladstone to w it h draw tbe Birtish ambassador from Con stantinople and dismiss the Turkish amabssador here, is discusssed by all tbe newspapers, bat finds little favor, and is looked upon as being sim ply a policy of cryin g “ boo,” which w ill have absolutely no good effect npon the sultan. A l l eyes are now tunred toward B a l moral, where tbe arriva l today of the M arqnis of Salisbury, it is hoped, marks a turning point in Great B r it ain's position towards the powers. The British premier w ill stay several days at Balmoral, and there is little doubt that he w ill u tilize his tim e in endeavoring to win from the czar a recognition o f the disinterested charac ter o f Great B rita in ’ s policy toward Turkey, and arrange a basis for jo in t aotion, whioh w ill render farther mas sacres impossible. Un the Continent Mr. Gladstone’ s speech was received d ifferen tly in tbe various countries. The French press expressed unusually favorable opinions of it and even the notorious A n glo- phobe organ gave it a generous praise. The Lib re Parole describes it aB the finest Mr. Gladstone has ever made and one which stigmatizes most m agn ifi cently the orime of European diplom acy in past years. In faot, the com ments o f the press generally indicate that France has at last awakened to tbe enorm ities o f Turkish rule, and ahe w ill weloome an understanding be tween Russia whioh w ill enable them to take jo in t and effective action at Constantinople. In Austria and Germany, however, tbe newspapers scoff at Mr. Gladsotue’ s proposal regarding the ambassadors, which is characterized as fanatical and frivolous. The remarkable violence of tbe E ng lish agitation wbioh has been conduct ed against the sultan is shown by the character of the epithets which have been burled at him by the usually m od erate-speaking English people. Mr. Gladstone’ s epithet o f “ tlje great as sassin" seems to have set the fashion, the Dnke of W estm inster fo llo w in g w ith "fien d in oarn ate," Earl Spencer preferrin g “ representative o f a d iab oli cal and atrocious governm ent.” The term applied by W illia m W a t son, tbe poet, “ Abdul tbe Damned,” in his series of sonnets on the A rm en i an question, perhaps finds tbe most freqnent repetition o f any of them. The press is not behind in its sensa tional dealings w ith the subject by the most lurid headlines in the newspapers and posters to advertise them. The Chronicle is printing a series o f “ mur der maps’ ’ on the subject. M is* W i l l a r d '* A p p e a l. Chicago, Sept. 29.— A oablegram from the London International W om en's Christian Temperance Union says Miss Frances E.
