word to tho Figaro, on tho staff of whicn
he Is employed, that he has Just returned
from a visit to Miss Ellen M. Stone of tho
American board of foreign missions, who
Is held by brigands In tho mountains of
Turkey.
Tho correspondent wires that he sue
ceeded In locating Miss Stone In an almost
Inaccessible mountain defile, where she Is
bolng detained In a camp of bandits. Tho
chief of tho outlaws permitted tho cor
respondent to sco Miss Stone and to talk
with her.
Miss Stone told her visitor that she bad
been treated with exceeding courtesy ever
slnco her capture on September 5, while
traveling from Salonlcn In Macedonia, her
hendquartcrs, to a point between Uanako
nnd DJoumanln In Turkey.
Two brigands wcro dotnllcd to act ns her
personal servants, providing her with good
food nnd showing her every attention. The
brigands bad Instructions to obey her mer
est whim and to show with what degree
of consideration she was treated she told
tho newspaper man that, having exhausted
all thn dims for her camera she had said
that sho wished sho had more. The deslro
was repeated to the chief of tho brigands,
who nt onco posted n courier off to Con-
stantlnoplc to securo n supply for her. This
meant a week of steady traveling by mule
over dnngerous nnd rocky mountain paths.

Tho leader of tho brigands told the cor
respondent that unless a rantom of tlCO.OOO
was forthcoming within thirty days Miss
Stone would either bo put to death or corn-
polled to marry ono of tho bandits. The
Ituatlon recalls tho capturo by these same
brigands, In tho same region six years ngo,

French heiress, who Is now a Carmcllto

A report from Constantinople says that
Rcv. Mr. Haskell, a missionary at Samakov,

Stone which doos not give nny clue to
her whereabouts, but bbvd that Bhn Is In

tho brigands, especially In tho earlier
stages of the abduction. Latterly, In con-
xequenco of tho vigorous pursuit of the
brigands by the Turkish troops, sho has
been sublccted to more privations. The
prUoncr Informs Mr. Haskoll that tho brig
ands demand a ransom of 230,000 Turkish

CONDUCTOR WILSON THE WORST SUFFERER
Passenger All Escnpe with Minor
Injuries, Das to Slow Speed
the Cnglns Wns
Making.
Passenger train No. 3 on the Omaha A
St. LouU railroad, known as tho Omnha
mall, nnd duo to arrive In Council Bluffs
S:0fi a. m yesterday went Into the
ditch near what Is known as "Dead Man's
rosslng." Desplto the fact that the en-
re tr.tln, with the exception of the loco
motive, rolled down a twelve-foot embank
ment, none of tho passengers was seriously
njurcd nnd all were able to leave for their
homes yesterday afternoon. Conductor Ar
thur S. Wilson of Council Bluffs was tho
most seriously hurt, his Injuries consisting
two broken ribs, n badly cut hand,
bruised faco and probably Internal Injuries.
He Is being cared for at his home, 929
Fourth avenue.
The accident occurred at n curve near
Pony Creek, about six miles southeast of
Council Bluffs, and was caused by the
breaking of a rail about six feet from tho
olnt. The train consisted of five cars,
baggage, mall, smoker, chair and Pullman,
II of which, after leaving the rails, bumped
along tho tics for 160 feet and then slid
down tho embankment, turning over on
their sides. The locomotlvo and tender
tayed on tho track. The track was badly
torn up, but was opened again for tramc
by 6 o'clock Inst evening. Tho chair and
smoking enrs were badly wrecked.
Slow Speed Snven Live.
That none of tbo passengers wns killed
was due probably to the fact that tho train
was running slowly, not much more tnan
wenty ralleB an hour, when tho cars lert
the track. W. D. Rogerson, tho engineer.
realizing that ho had plenty of tlmo In
whlchMo mako the city, had shut off steam
s he turned the curve between tho Pony
reck crossing nnd tho trestle over tho
creek. When ho stopped hla engine its
nose was Jut over the trestle. Hnd the
train been running nt full speed notning
could havo saved It, ho said, from going
Into tho creek. As It was, tho cars sun
gently down tho embankment, turning over
on their sides without piling up ono on the
other.
fnndiietor Wilson had Just entered mo
Pullman when tho car turned over nnd ho
was thrown honvlly against a seat, the
corner striking him In the chest. His right
hand went through a window and was badly
ut.
R. Addy of Imogcno had a narrow escape
from losing his right leg. His right foot
went through a window and was pinned
between the car and tho ground, which
fortunately was soft. Tart of tho car had

A relief train with Drs. Jennings and

The tegular republican organization was
handsomely endorsed at tho county pri
maries In Omaha yesterday. Tho figures as
compiled tell tho story.
Tho rtgulars or no-called friends of tho
administration swept the city by carry
ing four out of live of tho contested ward
ami three out of four of tho uncontested
wnrds, Desplto tho fnlso Issues raised
and tho virulent cry of "machine," by
which tho nntls tried to rally support,
tho regular organization tickets won In
each cuso by decisive majorities, ranging
from 100 to 200, while in tbo Sovcnth ward,
tho stronghold of tho nntls, tho highest
majority was sixty.
Tho moat signal victory for tho friends of
tho regular organization camo In tho Sixth
ward, tho banner republican wnrd of tho
city, wnerc the bolters of Inat yenr headed
by City Comptroller Westberg were snowed
under by n majority of ovor 200 out of n
totnl vote of 666.
Xo Confidence In DlNloynl Lenders.
For an off yenr nnd a merely local con
test tho primaries worn rcmnrkably well
attended, more thun 3,000 votes being polled
throughout tho city, of which tho regulars
received nearly 2,000. Notwithstanding tho
sweeping success it must not bo forgotten
that tbe nntls had organized to tho best of
tholr ability and had been freely claiming
an overwhelming preponderance. Their
leaders who had oponly fought tho re
publican candidates during, tho national
campolgn and who wero trying to regain
control of tho party machinery naturally
failed to Inoplro confidence of tho rank
and fllo as against tho loyal workers who
stood by tho ticket when tho redemption
of Nebraska was the Issue.
Jcfferls, tho noisy spokesman, and his
sldo-partncr, Bromc, were laid low In tho
Eighth ward; Westberg In tho Sixth wnrd,
scarcely less noisy, hardly know ho was
running; tho redoubtable Tom Blackburn,
with tho weight of the congresslonnl ma
chine on his shoulders and Ave weeku'
rcsldenco in tho Ninth wnrd, fell forty
behind Ills associates on nn uncontested
delegation, Hugh Myers nnd W. A. Saun
ders wcro engineering tho' nntls In tho
Fifth, but wero ruled out under tho tlmo
limit. Tho only plnco whero the nntls
got any consolation wns In tho Seventh
wnrd. whero they had raised their fnlso
Issue ovor Vlnsonhnlor.
Tho success of tho various cnndldaton
for different ofTtoea In their respective
wards gives them tho lead for the offices
they seek and in all probability the con
vention will be ns. harmonious and ex
peditious as usual. The convention meets
In Washington ball at 2 o'clock this after
noon, while tho exccutlvo committee of tho
county committee will hold a session at
ft o'clock In tho morning to complete pre
liminaries. Story of the StrnuHle.
The story of tho day's frays In the differ
ent wards Is briefly told.
In tho First ward thcro was only ono
tlckot In the Interest of Hoyo for sheriff.
Notwithstanding this, howover, R. C. Jor
dan, whose name was on tho printed list,
wns beaten out by tho substitution of Hugh
Bartson by vt.orB who wanted to show
tholr resentment of Jordan's backsliding
ns a member of tho committee.
In tho Second wnrd, whoro Hoye resides,
his candidacy for sheriff was substantially
backed at the polls ns against tho feeblo
effort of Dr. Wolso to rnpturo tho delega
tion for himself for coronor. Associated
with Hoyo aro William Altstadt for Justice
of tho peace nnd Henry Knodcll for con
stable.
The Third ward presented a love feast all
day, not even a scratch being recorded
against tho regular delegation, which hnd
the field all to Itself.
The Fourth ward was nlso nn uncontested
field, but yet more than 200 bnllots wero
enst. Thn ticket Is pledged to VlnnonhaUr
for county Judge, who was frightened for a
little whllo during tho afternoon by nn evi
dent nttempt to write In three now names,
hut when tho count was flnlshod It was
found that only thirty split ballots had been
cast.
Mnchlne" Cry Hoc Xot Oo.
In the Fifth ward the antls raised tho cry
of "machlno" and worked It hard, distort
ing tho action of tho commltteo In rejecting
the four namcn that bad been wrltton Into
tholr petition after signatures had been
secured. It availed them little, howover,
for their defeat was decisive by over 100.
The delegation Is for Lucas for sheriff-
The big Sixth gave the greatest victory to
thn regulars undor tho banner of W. J,
HUnter for county plork. Samplo ballots
with unique labels (lew thick and fast and
666 votes wero polled. Tho antls soon lost
their courage and wero finally driven from
the field under an ndveroo majority of over
200.
Tho hottest fight In tho city was In tho
Soventh ward, whero Judge I). M. Vinson
halor centered hla strength ogalnst a dele
gation pledged tc J. O. Detwellcr, a res
ident of tho wnrd, for county Judge. Tho
Vlnsonhalcr ticket had heen cut down to
twelvo by tho wlthdrawnl of three of Its
candidates, but three of thn mon on tho
Detwellnr ticket, Noo, Williamson nnd Lig
gett, wero chosen for tho favor of tho Vln
fonhalcr following and wero elected along
with thn short ticket, Thn vnto wns ono
of tho heaviest ever cast In a Soventh ward
primary, a total of 610 being polled. Thn
