The reorgani sation committee of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company has completed a plan for the reorganization of the company. This infromatlon was given out by W. W. Cotton , general counsel ot the road , who has re turned from New York , where he has been in contcrence with Receiver McNcllI. Speak ing of th ? reorganization , Mr. Cotton said ! "Tho proposed plan has received the ap proval of the various committees having the interest of the security holders In hand ; -namely , the general reorganization commit tee , the consolidated mortgage bondholders committee , the collateral trust bondholders commtttcce and the committee representing the majority of the stock. The general re organization committee now has deposited with It a majority of the consolidated mortgage bonds and a majority of the col lateral trust bonds , while a majority of the common stock of the company Is deposited with the stockholders committee. "Under the plan of reorganization and depositing securities , holders not assenting to the plans have a right to withdraw the se curities deposited within ten days after the announcement of the plan. If enough of the securities remained in the hands ot the general reorganization committee , the plan would be carried out ns now adopted by the committee , and Inasmuch as. the security holders are largely represented In person by agents upon the various committee ! ) , . It Is Im probable that any of the depositing securi ties will be withdrawn. " Reorganization will probably bo effected fccfore July 1. POSITIONS QV KMI'I.OYK-S CKIITAIN. Ne.tr Iteee\'er !

The Western Passen ger association hag a now row en Its hands , and the chances are that It may prove to he serious before the matter Is finally die-posed of. For some time there has been trouble between the Atchlson nnd Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf over coal rates , and the latter road , 09 a means of warfare , cut the passenger rates from Denver to Pueblo , Cclrrado Springs and Trinidad about GO per cent. The reducted rates were promptly met. by the Denver- & Rio Grande , and this afternoon the Atchlson , receiving word that the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf had stocked the Denver brokers with tickets at the re duced rate , promptly made a rate to equal that made by the other two lines. The fight will not affect the Atchlson nearly as much as It will the Denver & Rio Grande , and the blow Is aimed at the former road. Chairman Caldwcll will endeavor to pour oil on the troubled waters tomorrow. The meeting of the Western Passenger aescclutlon finally adjourned today after con sidering a number of small Items. The only action of any Importance was the granting of a rate of one faro for the round trip fcr the meeting of the Baptist societies at Port- laud , Ore. , next summer.

SAN FRANCISCO , Jan. 10. In the case of the Southern Pacific company against the California commission In the United States. court today Unltod States District Attorney Vooto argued with the Southern Pacific at torneys In opposition to the admission as evidence of the testimony taken by the con- grf-sslonal commission In 1SSC-18S7. He argued that the testimony taken and re ported by the congressional commission could not bo considered as having any offic'al force and standing until congress shall have taken positive and affirmative action In the matter Indorsing and approving the evidence In question. The report In which the testimony was Included could only bo considered as constituting the findings of a committee of Inquiry.

Problem of Snliiniirlne Criift Sitld to lie Solved. The remarkable experiments made by M. Ooub.'t from May , 1SS9 , to Juno , 1S91 , and now crowned with success , seem to have Indefinitely solved the problem of submarine navigation , says the New York Herald. Com mission after commission has been sent by the. French government to Inspect this minute ship , which Is submerged and pro pelled several feet under water and after a certain length of tlmo comes to the surface at a given point and permits Its two passen gers to disembark without having suffered any Inconvenience. The qualities ! which distinguish a submarine vessel , and without which It would be use less , are habltableness , security , rapidity of Immersion and emergence , stability , Im mobility at a given depth , a ready response to the rudder , and the possibility of the crow being able to maneuver from the In terior of the boat. For the first necessity , and. In fact , tbo most essential of all viz. , habltablensss the crew of the Goubet Is provided with air by means ot compressed oxygen , which Is car ried on the vesjl In steel tubrs , exhausted under a normal pressure. In these condi tions crew composed of three men could exist In the Interior of a submerged vessel for eight hours at least , and If necessary for fifteen hours , without suffering any Incon venience resulting from foul or rarlfied air. Its ojfety has been assured by extra bal last. Should an unforeseen accident occur to the machinery , the ballast thrown over board would right the baat and It would rise to the surface like a piece of cork. The weight of the Goubet Is so calculated that armed , loaded and carrying Its crew it will easily float , leaving but a small portion cf Its upper shell and Its airtight dome visible- , which latter Is usul as a lookout a > ; it .glides through the water. > To submerge the boat Is sufficient to augment its density , and the boat is fur nished with Interior raservolrs for this pur pose. A certain amount of water Is Intro duced by mcana of suction and force pump , and this quantity can bo augumenUd or di minished at will. To gink the boat , the- suc tion pump draws in enough water for the purpose ; while to bring the boat to the sur face the force pump Is put in requisition. The Goublet can sink or rise in a vertical posi tion. tion.Tho The principal obstacle ro far to the pro pelling of a submarine vssl has been Its want ot stability. In fact , the equilibrium of a boat once sunk has always seemed to be at the mercy of the slightest displacement in its Interior. Should the ballast slip to the bow or stern , the boat is apt to tak ? a mor ? or less marked inclination , which makes It Impossible for a man to remain In It with safety. Owing to Its mechanical construc tion the Goubet rUcs or descends without In clining to the bow or stern , and its- oscilla tions never displace its horizontal petition moro than five or six osnllnutcrs. The Goubut sinks or mounts rapidly or slowly- 'the pleasure of her crew- this maneuver depending upon the rapidity with which the density varies that Is to say , the promptness with Which the water is forotd into or out of the. reservlors furnished for that purpose. To do this properly It Is only necessary to work the pumps In such a man lier that the water which enters or 'Is forced out should in no sense surpass the corresponding spending quantity of deniHlty required. A small amount of power only is needed when the boat is completely submerged. The whole secret of managing the Goubet lies In the variations of its specific weight ; once submerged Its weight Is almost exactly equal tn thn welcht nf the volume of water which It displaces that is to say , Its weight Is noth ing. It acts In tbo water as a piece of cot ton acts in the air , tosse-d here and there at the mercy of thi ; slightest Impulsion. This explains why , with ono or two horse power , a swiftness of se/cn or eight knots may be given to this mass of bronze , whoso weight surpasses ten tons. This Is also why , tn com ing in contact with an obstacle , U rebounds like a rubber ball and does not lose its shape. The Goubet Is principally Intended to be used In warfare. Two torpedoes are fastened under the copper wings which are attached to the hull. These torpedoes can be dis charged by a very clever contrivance by the person seated in the Interior. It is also pro posed to attach n Heel rod to the vessel , working a pair of large shears with which to cut the wires ot the enemy's torpedoes. The Goubet can also be utlllzd In times of peace for pearl and coral fishing , examining sunken vessels , Inspecting breaks In a cable , damage to the foundations of lighthouses and wharves , and , as some on : jocularly sug gests , for. transportation of passengers fearful of sea sickness , for at ten meters under the surface of the water the motion of the waves Is not felt at all. In shape the Goubet Is round In the mid dle and conical at both ends. It Is lighted In teriorly by a number of portholes in the hull , which are airtight , by means of panes of heavy glass thirty millimeters In thickness. As It weighs but ten tons It can easily bo transported on a railroad truck or between decks of a man-of-war or packet boat. THOUSANDS I < 'OIl A IIOOIC. Only 10 1 Klit PnReN , lint n Very Hiiro I.lternry CurloNlty. On the.cteamshlp Spree , which arrived a few days ago , says the New York World , there waa Imported a thin llttlo volume of nly eight pages , the appraised xalte of which was $2,000. This is a Latin translation of a letter written by Christopher Columbus , giv ing a report ot his discovery of what he sup posed to have been only some Islands off the coast of India. Stephen Plannock , a printer , of Rome , struck oft a few copies of the trans lation In 1493. Not all of these are now to bo found , In the Barlow sale of Americana , at the American Art galleries In 1889 , a copy of the Plannock edition , Identical with the one that came on the Spree , was sold to Brayton Ives for $2,200. There is a dispute among the authorities as to whether or no the edition ot the Co lumbian letter Is the flrst printed reproduc tion. Mr. Eames of the Lenox library says that no two authorities agree as to the pri ority ot date of the publication of Columbus' report. Harrlssa stoutly maintains that this Plati- nock edition Is the third appearance of the letter , while R. H. Major ot the British mu seum advances arguments , said to bo both logical and weighty , to show that It Is the flrst. Ellis , in the Huth catalogue , claims that Major has proved his Impression to be the first. John Russell Bartlett also placed this particular edition first In the John Car ter Brown library. But , however much the antiquarians may disagree among themselves , there is no doubt as to the great value of the book , which is printed In clear type on heavy paper. The dimensions of the pages are 7 1-10 Inches "full" by B 3-10. Some of the leaves have a water mark , the device being a pair of scales. If printed In the World tha letter would occupy about a column and two-thirds. _ Sehoouer l.ont , GLOUCESTER , Mass. , Jan. lO.-The Bohooner J , H.

LONDON , Jan. 10. The most Important dcvelopmrnt In the South African situation today Is the fact that In spite ot alt denials U Is now believed In many quarUrs that there Is BO mo truth In the rumors that Graat Hrltaln has purchased Delagoi bay from Portugal. H Is believed that an entirely now complication woulil bo thrswn Into the situ ation nnd It Is b.'llcved to be tha real reason for the assembling of such a powerful DrltUh fleet eft Portland Tuesday next. It Is believed that the government of Transvaal has de manded , among other things , that Great IJrltaln forego her right to obtain possession ot Uelagoa biy , and as many may look upon this as a move which will seriously threaten the future of tha Transvaal , the situation , if the report Is true , will become more critical. Kfforts are now being mad ? to obtain n con firmation or a denial of the reported purchase of Delagoa bay by Great Urltaln. In the Transvaal Itrelf the ultlanders of the Kami , numbering about 30,000 , moro or less , well armed men , have been given until C o'clock this evening In which to dls-jrm , and all those wht > do so , except the leaders of the recent disturbance , will bo pardoned. Au the ultlanders are surrounded by about 20,030 well armed Uosr ? , It may ba presumed that the surrender will take place before the hour prophesied , A dispatch from Pretoria this morning rays the government ot Transvaal announces that it la determined to foster mining and that those Interested In It need not sacrifice their holdings for the benefit cf the "agitating clique"'of the Hand. This dispatch says that only 10,000 Boers are under arms , but adds significantly that they will not disband until the conditions of the surrender of the ult- landcro of the Hand have been fully carried out. GERMANY BACKING DOWN. There docs not seem to bo any change In the attitude of Germany toward Great IJrltaln In regard to the Transvaal. The feeling ot "oackdown Is still said to bo notlceabls In the Gorman press utterances , and great Impor tance Is nttachpd to.an .article In the Ham burger Nachrlchten , which Is said to have bean directly Inspired by Prince Bismarck , In which It Indirectly disapproves of the gov ernment's attitude and adds : "Tho duty of the government Is more to defend the Internal and external 'peace of the'country against dis turbances than , to promote foreign enter prise. " The Times this morning says : "Themain point for England to remember Is that In time of peace attempts have been made by an ostensibly friendly power to Induce an other friendly power to depart from its nsutral policy in order to facilitate an attack upon British Interests In South Africa. Great Britain must also remember that unless the whole German demonstration at Lorezo Mar- quez Is to be the Illusory and ridiculous character now afs'gned to It by the German press , we must suppose that tluro was amore moro or less settled determination to cross Portugese territory even lii the face of a Portuguese refusal. " The Glob ; this afternoon raises an Im portant question which may havbeconsldcr- able bearing on the whole * situation. It is suipected In well Informed clrclss that a treaty was concluded In 1885 between Ger many and the Transvaal and that th9 present attitude ot Emperor William to\yard Great Britain Is based upon the provisions of this ' ' " ' treaty " , NO PRQSPECT OP' ' WAR. > Cons > prvatvaiJudges | . .of'thesituation claim in spite pf the vwarllk preparations being made on such an extensive scale by Great Britain , that peace will not be disturbed and that the armaments are more likely to prove a guaranty of peace than to provoke an out break of hostilities. The movement in favor of arbitrating the Venezuelan question with the United States Is growing day by day. The Westminster Gazette after having Interviewed statesmen of all parties , bankers and others having Important Interests at stake , says this after noon : "Everywhere there were enthusiastic expressions In favor of the proposal to es tablish a permanent court 01 arourauon. From diplomats who haVe had recent inter views with the foreign office , the Associated press learns that there * Is a decided change of sentiment there nnd that the unbending an tagonism to arbitrate the Venezuelan boundary dispute which was first shown In high circles has almost completely disap peared and that matters look much more sat isfactory than they have at any time since the dispute commenced. PRESIDENT KIlUEGEn REPLIES. As cabled to the Associated press yester day , Mr. Joseph Chamberlain , secretary of state for the colonies , sent a dispatch to President Knjeger saying that he liad received ' ceived the command of'the quen to acquaint him with the fact that her majesty had heard with satisfaction that ho had decided to hand over Dr. Jameson and the other prison ers to the British authorities , saying that this act will redound to the president's credit and honor and conduce to the peace , develop ment and prosperity of South Africa. President Kruegcr today sent the following telegram , In reply , to Sir Hercules Robinson , the governor of Cape Colony , for transmission to Mr. Chamberlain : After acknowledging the receipt "of'the queen's message. President Krueger says : "It is my Intention to hand over the prisoners so that Dr. Jameson and the British under him may be 'punished by her majesty's government. I will make known to your excellency my final decision In the matter as soon as Johannesburg shall have reverted to a condition of quietness and order.

I ern Improvements hsve de vised no ojhff means of traveling so pleisant when all IU.3 conditions are favorable , as In an easy carr'Mfcet dmwn by such a team as Indicated. ' A'3 ' railway train carries one through flie jjountry too rapidly to fairly enjoy the rccnery. One Is also subject tc contract contsglous dlicascs In a car , and to be annoyed by smoke , durt and clnd-rs On a steamboat there Is usually n sameness about one's surroundings there Is not much but water cenery. Street cars are only crowded ncc6sltl a But en a pleasint day when the road. nro good , a proper vehicle and a beautiful team of horses , matched In slzt- , color and gait , answering Instantly to the touch of the rein and freely trotting elf eight or ten mile ? an hour over a beautiful landscape , the person In heslth who cannot enjoy it all must have- some mental defect In his or her makeup. Passing varied land scapes nnd different rural homesteads wltli varying attractions , the pleature experienced Is most exhilarating and enchanting. Such a team as I havedc3cnbd ccsts a great deal of money because the demand Is but partially supplied. Scrubs seldom de velop Into such a twrn , and they are usually produced only by careful , InUlllgcnt breed ing. The Cleveland bays and French coach now furnish the best and handsomest car riage horses. Occasionally flnc-boJIcd , llght- llmbe : ? , Pcr.chetons make- grand carriage horses. To breed , match and twin such car riage horses successfully require men specially qualified for the business ; men who love horses , have studied their nnat.my , their gait , th.lr cirri ge 4hori , uglily ; who are cloM- . sharp observers , gootl bargainers , truthful , reliable and who have pcrfict commind over their tempers. Such men may hope to make n great deal of money by matching this class of horsta whether Uiey. breed horses or not. Such liorws' ahvnyc command the highest prices among th ? affluent men of the cities ; and the demand has never been fully sup plied yet. It Is not a very uncommon tiling for fi rich merchant , manufacturer , banker 01 * professional man to pay from $1.000 to $2,500 for mich a carriage team as suits his fancy. A Cuban horse dealer for several yeans spent tola time In New York state pur chasing such teams and shipping them to Cuba , to be sold to wealthy pec ple there. In conversing with him hi- said he did' ' not want a team thdt cost lese than $1.600. An ordinary fanner with such qualifications as have been noted may , as on adjunct to regular farming ; breed annually one or mor teams that will command incr ? than com mon prlcss froilt his townsmen , and oc casionally he' may bo fortunate enough to get hold of ono of the high-priced teams. The great point Is to secure good breeding mires , themselves well bred , good gradss , and then having them served by full-blooded males. Although It helps sell a carrlagi team to b ? full-liloo Is , yet this Is rarely expected. Half or iniartor bloods , and even Itof no recbgnlzed breeding , a team will bo not mucht-cbjcctcd to If the animals are about right in all other respects. WhlU n few pjoplcj have decided tastes as to the color of horsesas a rule there Is little objection tft any. color except white or light gray and r * ? \ > lpck that will fad ? . Cubans object to any : black horse , for Its coat will fade In thftjhot sunshine of that climate. A "coal-black-'ntEam Is admired by some here , but It is thardly advisable to expend much efforttq match such , expecting a largo prlco , for they ars liable to fade in summer , and.as there is no distinctive breed ot black coach horses , such color ad vertises Its own lack of "generous breed ing. " Bright ! bay , dapple bay , seal brown , bright sorrel , chestnut and dappl- gray are all good ciilors.o Above all , carriage teams are rpqulrcjl pe pf g90d size , rangy high * heads and. , good steppers. Short , low , dumpy horses' vlll not answer. As it Is fmpiifed of seine women that they leave the mostilmportant part , of their let ters for tlier-PQRts.criptso. , Ihave IfXt tha peal , object of .this communication to Its closing paragraph "for consideration. I de signed to suggest to" the young farmer who fancies horses' to make a study ot them with a view of profit Jn bringing about matched teams for marlfet. If he can rals- some colts of his own. , , all the bUr tcr , but success can be reached without. A matched work team , If young and sound , will sell for more than If not motched. The first thing for the- young 'man to do Is to' got a work on the anatomy1 of the horse , and study It carefully , so he can name Every bone , muscle and all other parts. This to be followed with other books oh breeds ana Drcrmng , training , lecaing , diseases and their treatment , etc. Let examination of horses go' on dally , or at cv ry oppor tunity , with the study of them. He will need to carry only ono Implement with him during his study , and that Is a tape lln ? to take various .measurements of the. horses ho txamlncs. His first , and I may say main object , Is to become so expert that he can tell whether or not two horses will match when he sees them apart , but not together. Do this , and his fortune is assured. It can bi done , but wtio knows a person possessing this skill ? It requires a keen eye , pene trating Judgment and cducate'd observation. The man who purchased that famous seal- brown team , for President Cleveland could do It , and so could a man I knew who got rich matching horses and selling them to the Cuban referred to' heretofore. Unless a per son could tejl whether horses will" match by seeing them separate , ho labors under several disadvantages. If ho hears of a horse fifty miles away which somebody thinks will match ono ho has they must be. got together to decide. When together , If they match , how quick the price of the other horse will go up , for its owner knows that as a match It could bo sold for twice , as much as to bo sold singly , and he will want a share In the profits. Matching without getting the animals together is the acme of horse art. There arc scores and scores of points to bo considered besides , like color , equal height , weight , length , step , move ment , carriage , markings and disposition. A man purchased a carriage team which seemed to matQ.h In every respect , but rid ing behind themi he had mot noticed that ono carried his nose out nnd the other ip. which was readily discerned by any ono passing at the side. This spoiled the team for htm , and he sold It at a large discount. If horses have white markings , as ot feet or face , thcso markings must be alike. Three white feet on one and two on the other wilt not answer. There must not be but a trifle variation here or with markings In the face. But horses of solid color are most In favor and the easiest matched. . < lmilil > - Unimpaired.

"So-called scientific detective work ha been brought Into ridicule by the mcden novelists , who make their detective lie roc Co Impossible things , but I nm firmly con vlnccd that many mysterious crimes couli be exposed by a proper use of modern science In connection with practical work of Investl gallon and detection , " said a retired No\\ York deUctlve who has studied crime am criminals for more than twenty years to a correspondent of the Globe-Democrat. "Science lias made wonderful progres3 In recent years In disclosing the apparent mys tery ot human omUIona nnJ human actions and I have long been convinced that many murders and other mysterious crimes are the outcome of a permanent or temporary mcnta Idiosyncrasy , and are therefore" snsceptlblo o : solution by other methods than thosw usually employed In the catching of thieves and pro fesslcnal criminals. I know that great crimes have been committed by persons who were unaware ot their actions at the time. Ii such cases the Irjnoranco of the criminal that ho has committed a crime Is his beat protec tion against discovery , and that fact alone Is often sufficient tobafllo the bst : delectlve skill. "Many years ago I was aeulgned to a murder - dor ciu-3 which was a great mystery at the time , but attracted very little attention be- ciuso the victim was a man of no Importance and had no friends. Siegfried llrauman , an old German cabinet maker , was found dead In hU room In an East Side lodging IIOUEM one day. II ? had been beaten to death With a hammer or som blunt Instrument while he lay asleep In bed. His head was crushed In three or four places , and his faoa was badly mangled. "llrauman lived alone In a small room on the third floor of a chrap lodging house. He was very poor , and as ho was not linowr to have any enemies , there was no apparenl motive for the crime. The ono window ol tlia room he had occupied oprned on an an tiquated flre escape which led to a narrow curt between two buildings , and aP the door of his room was locked en the Inside It was evident that the murderer had climbed the lire escape and entered through the window. The victim had evidently been knocked eens'- IEDJ , If not killed , by the first blow , and had died without making a struggle or outcry. Nothing In the room had been disturbed , showing that robbery was not the motive of the crime. "I examined the window very carefully after learning that It was clcyld when the liody was discovered. I found that It was not fattened In any way , and could be opened from the flre escape on the outside. The hurl flvldonHv rrnt intn the rcom that way and , going out , had carefully closed the window behind him. "Not ono nrtlcl ? In the room had beer moved , so far as I could discover. Thr flute of the dead man. an instrument of which ho was very fond and on which he was In the habit of playing for bouts uvciy night , lay on a table close by the old ? cJ the bJ. I searched the room , the house the flro escipo and the court below for twc dayn without finding the slightest , clew tr the murderer. Then I tracad the movementr of the dead man aa beat I could from the time ho had landed in thin country , some sever years before , up to the day before his death with no better result. He had worked most of the time In tha same shop , where ho wai known as a iquletlnoffenslvo , fellow , , bu vcry > - resarvod.nHohad no. Intimate friends and very few acquaintances. "In the house where h ? had lodged to three years ho was known by lght to al the other 'lodgers ' , but that wao about all they did know of him , except that he otter kept them awake at night by playing on hit flute. That was th < only thing : to his dis credit they knew , and some of them cvci. went BO far as to suggest that the flute playIng - Ing might. . In some way be responsible foi his death. I did not attach much im portance to that suggestion , for I did not Sel | vo that any one In the neighborhood would carry his objection to the flute to the extent of committing murder. A DISCOURAGING CASE. "Tho upshot of It all was that I was finally compo'.led to report that I had made no progress on the case , and I was then as signed to other work. The murder was quickly forgotten by the public , but when 1 waa not otherwlss engaged I continued to Work on the case at Intervals. I was deeplj nterested in the mystery of the affair and felt that If I could discover a motive for the crlmo I might inlrno bo able to find the murdoreJ. "Tho room occupied by Brauman had been , eft undisturbed by the landlord while awalt- ng Instructions from his relatives in Gor- nany as to the disposition of his few ef- lectg. The dead man had ; paid two months' ent in advance and the landlord could there- 'ore afford this consideration. "About a month after I was taken off the ca.03 officially I called at the lodging house ono night and was met by the landlord , who was very much excited. He told mo that the room where the murder had been com mitted was haunted and that many of his odgera wore Having on that account. I aughed at hla story , but he assured me that t was no laughing matter. Tno ghost of , ho old cabinet-maker had returned , ho cald , and was playing the flute In the room every night. H < ? had heard the sound of the flute ilmself. all his lodgers had heard It , and a nan living in the next housa had once looked1 hrough the window late at night and saw a white-robed figure silting by the bed playing ow , weird music on the Instrument. "I asked the landlord It he had watched ho haunted room at night and he assured no that ho would not enter it after darker or the world. Then I proposed to hire the oem of him and occupy It until I discovered he ghost or frightened It nwoy. The land- ord warned mo that I had better not try It , mt when ho realized that I was In earnest 10 gave mo the key. "It was after 10 o'clock at night when I vent up to the room and let myself In. The place waa very much the same as when I M d last seen it , except that all the blood- talned bed clothing had been removed , 'hero was no light 'except the faint rays hat came from the windows of the next louse , and that was barely enough to enable mo to distinguish one object from another n the place. I sat down and waited until fter midnight , but the ghost did not oomo. 'hen I lay down on the sldo of Jho bed , rd , being very tired , I finally fell arfeep nd did not dwako until morning. "No flute playing was heard that night nd the landlord looked much relieved when went down stairs. The next night I was n hand before bed time and again occupied bo haunted room. This time I determined o keep awake , and I did. "Shortly before midnight I lay down on ho edge ot the bed , but kept my eyes fixed n the window. I had been lying down ess than halt an hour when a shadow dark- ned the window. Watching it closely I nado out the form of a man on the flro scape outsldo and then I could see a fass ressed against the glass. For a full mlnuto ho man did not move. Then I heard him lowly wising the lower sash of the window. "I had taken off my overcoat when I lay down and wnen I saw that the man on he fire scape was going to enter the room quickly decided on a plan of action. As quickly and quietly as possible I arranged my coat and hat so that In the seml-chrltnesa bey would closely resemble the outline of a man lying on the bed. Then I quietly slipped ver behind1 the bed and crouching on the cor I drew my revolver and awaited do- elcpments. "I did not have long to wait. Dy the time was out of tha bed my midnight visitor md the window open. Then , without a moment's hesitation , bo stepped Inilde the com. There was a light burning In a room n the next building that was on a level vith the window and by Us rays I could watch every movement of my visitor. Doing n the shadow of the bed myself , I knew ho culd not Bfo mo. "Once inside the room the Intruder paused or a moment as if listening Intently. Then with quick , firm strides he walked to the nlde ot the bed. I w him bend over ns It trying to make imro that It nny ono w In the bed they wore neleop. Then I saw him draw from beneath his coit what looked lo bo a heavy hummer with a short handle. He swung this over his he-id and brought It down on my hat with terrific forcp. "Then I knew 1 was looking at n panto- mlmo of the murder of Slgfrlcd llrauman , and I at once ( inspected that the- man across the bed from me was the real murd'rer , "Again and again , the I'llent , grim , shad owy form swung his hammer aloft nnd brought It down on th ? bed. Any ono of the blows would have killed a man. At last ho appeared to b > satisfied that his work was finished , and then quietly put the ham mer In tils pocket. The man then turned luck toward the open window , and I was about to spring forward and seize him from behind when ho changed his mind and turned back tounnl ths bod. "Tho table , on which still lay the flute of the dead man , ttood a pace to the right of the bed. The murderous Intruder to my surprise turned to this table , and , picking Up the ( lilts , sat down on the sldo ot the bed and began to phy. I could sco his fingers rising and falling on the keys , and there floated out on the- stilt night air the ( trains , of some ancient Gorman ballad. The mystorlous performer played It through to th ? oml , then played two ether short piece ? , after which he laid the Instrument back on ths tible , and again turned toward the window. "My first Impulse wai to overpower him then and thorp , but there- was something so mysterious and uncanny In the whole business that I decided to let the man go out as he had come In , and then follow. mm , "He had left the window open when he entered , and now stepped out on the flre escape without a moment'i' hesitation. Thtn the man turned and closed the window be hind him , and started climbing down to ward the narrow court as silently as a shadow. Ik fore he waa half way down I had opened the window and was following him. When ho reached the ground he did not pause cr look up , but walked straight down the court between the two houses , turned to the left , and , opening a door 1 the Imemc-nt of the next house , dlsappsarc Into.tho darkness. "He did not fatten thp door behind him and in a moinant ! had followed h'ni Into th bwriicnt. It was so dark In there I couli rot see my man , but I could hear the soilnc cf his foot falls , and followed them , II walked straight ahead to Die front of th building , then turning to ttio right ho pushei opsn a deer and entered. A flood of llgh boame-d forth when this Ooor was opened and , cresplng forward quickly , I MW tha It opened- Into aEmail bedroom , furnlshet with a cot , a table and a tew chairs. A lamp was burning on the table. SOMNAMBULISM. "I got up v.'hfro I could see Into the room In time to see the man throw himself on the couch. Then he turned his face up to th I'ght , and I saw tor the first time , that th man was fast asleep. His eyes were tightly closed. To make sure that I was not mis taken I crept Into the room and touchct the fellow on the 'shoulder. He- ' stirred un easily , but did not awake- , and then I knew that what I had sesn had been the worl of a man walking In his sleep. "I returned to the room In the lodging house by the- way I had come , and , putting on my coat and what was left of my hat , : hurried down to the office , where I fcum the landlord pacing up and down In grea excitement. Ho had heard the sound of the flute-playing , and was much alarmed for my safety. I assured him that I had locatec the ghost , and that he would not be troubled again. "uomg to Headquarters , I reported wnn I had so n , but my story sounded so 1m- prcbablo that the captain In charge- wanted to know If I was not walking in mj sleep mywlf. He finally decided to send a man with me to arrest ths mysterious sleep walker. -"Feeling sure that my man would not es cape , I waited until daylight to arrest him. Then I discovered that the man I was after was a sho3maker , who had a small shop in the basement of the houre next door to the scene of th ? murder ot nrauman. He slept n a little room back of his shop , and this room was directly under that formerly oc cupied by the murdered man. "When.I arrested th ? .shoemaker * on the charge , nf , rnurder h ? was greally surprised , ftnd protested his Innocence."He mado"no resistance , and went quietly to headquarters , where ho was questioned at length. He ad mitted that hs had bejn greatly annoyed by the flut-playlng of Brautran , and many lights had been unable to sleep on account of It , but , said that he had never even made a protest. "While the prisoner was. apparently very frank and straightforward in his answers , I saw that he was ot an exceedingly nervous cmperament , and in a little while he began to show signs of excitement , under the steady flre of questions. I did not tell him tow It happened that he was suspected , but asked him If he could play a flute. Hu said that he had never had such an Instru ment in his hands in his life. "While the chief continued to ply him with questions , I left the room , and , going to n nuslc store near by , found a young man who could play on the flute. I took this man lack with mo headquarters , and stationed ilm outstdci the door of the room In which he prisoner was detained. I had arranged vith him that he was to begin to play on Us Instrument at a certain signal. "When I entered the room I found the prisoner still very nervous and excited. In i few moments I gave the signal to the lute player , and hu started playing the lotes of 'a simple German ballad. The effect on the prisoner war. magical. He clinched its hands , his face became distorted , and , eaplng from his seat , he glared about the oem like a maniac. Then ho reached down o the floor as If to pick up his hammer , and began creeping toward the door througn which came the sound ot the fluto. "The experiment had gone- far enough , and signalled to the player to stop. In a moment the manner ot the prisoner changed gain , and he stared about him In a dazrcl lelplcss way. like a man Just awakened out f a sound sleep. "Dy this timeI was fully convinced that he prisoner had murdered nrauman , but hat he was Innocent of a crime , beciuso 10 had killed him while asleep. The sound f the flute had so worked on his nerves nd brain that he was not responsible for vhat he had done. It was all very clear o me , but how to get the facts before a ourt and Jury was another matter. "We had the prisoner committed for fur- her Investigation , and before the time set or his examination hu had become a rav- ng maniac. Ho was committed to an asy- um , and died there a few years later. " IS' < MV York After tile Convention. NEW YORK. Jan. 10.
