Nkw York, Sept lO.-'The Record
wye: "Jay Gould iu oa Wall street
Wednesday for the first time ainoe hia
western trip! Hia appearance im
startling. He looked haggard. He was
deathly pale, and hia eyes were sunken
Hia hands were trembling and his voice
quivering. 'An overworked man,' was
the coment of those who saw him.
When he stepped from his private oar
he was congratulated on his improved
looks. Three days had wrought a mar
velous change in him. Five years ago
last January Mr. Gould gave up busi
ness on account of his 'health. His at
fairs were taken in charge by his eon
George J. Gould, and conducted with
ability. The panic of last November
and the succeeding events drew Mr.
Gould back into the financial maelstrom
His DhvBical do w era were gone, how
ever. The trip to the-west' followed.
and from bis looks it does not seem too
much to say that he must give up busi
neas cares entirely. His affairs will b
put in the hands of his sons, Geoige J
and Edwin, both men grown. Mr
Gould appreciates the importance of hit
health. He keeps with him almost con'
stantly Dr. John P. Munn, a physician
of high reputation.

in the Hotel Jefferson in this city.

Toledo Tuesday night on business and
retired about twelve o'clock. The
chambermaid noticed a strong smell of
illuminating gae coming from thei
room in ihe morning, and knocked on
tbe door. Failing to receive a response
the door was forced and the men were
found as stated. It'is a case of carelees
turning on or blowing out gas. They

Important Decision.
Dubuque, Ll, Sept. 10. Judge Nej
of the state district court tiled an im
portant decision of a case of the Iowa
railway commission against tbe Chicago
Milwaukee k St. Paul railway company,
Fengler and Schwaegler had shipped
to them some time ago several car loads
of fuel oil from Lima, O. The cars
came from Chicago over the Chicago,
St. Paul k Kansas City, and as the
yards of the consignees could only be
reached by the Milwaukee road, the
latter had to switch the cars in about
three miles. The Milwaukee company
charged from 113 to 915 per car for
this switching, the charge being greatly
in excess of the joint switching rates
fixed by the state railroad commission.
Ob complaint of the consignees, the
commission ordered the company to
switch the can at the rate fixed; the
costpanv refused and the case went into
court. Judge Ney holds that the con
tract between Fengler and Schwaegler
and the oil oompany at Lima, O, is an
interstate oommerce contract, and the
board of railroad commissioners of Iowa
ha no jurisdiction to remedy the griev
ances arising thereunder and the plain
tiffs petition is dismissed. The cast
will now go to the aunreme court on

A Tremendous Explosion Just
Discovered.
Djeaaite Beridlr FoUlo to (he Boar.
POWDER ALMOST tORGO: TEX.
New Yobk, Sept 1L General Abbott
and Colonel Mordecay arrived at Fort
Hamilton shortly after 10 a. m. We J nee
Jay and mad a final test of tbe new
chemical high explosive compound
known as terrorite. Holes were dug in
tbe ground six feet deep at the north
western corner of the fort A hollow
shell of copper was then filled with
twelve pounds of tbe explosive end
packed sith cotton. The shell was
then placed in the impovised pit and
covered solidly with earth to the sur
face. It was exploded by means of an
ordinary prime. The detonation was a
long, muffled one, without any smoke
but a volume of earth, weigbing fully
a ton was hurled through tbe air in al
most every direction, risicg to a height
of twent-tiva lo lifty feet The enorm
ous force of terrorite was evidence by
the crater which it made around the
pit, and which measured nearly twelve
feet in diameter. The same quantity
of dynamite or nitro glycerine would
not have done half as much damage.
Four shells were fired in all with prac
tically the same results, while the
weight of the charge was changed in
each instance:
In addition to its greater destructive
force the new explosive offers advan
tages heretofore sought in vain. It can
be handled more safely than gun
powder, which adds to ita value in war
fare. Its force can also be regulated,
and it is claimed to be at least four
times as powerful as dynamite. Ter
rorite is not effected by jarriag or jolt
ing, and so its transportation in cars or
ships does not endanger life.
Dynamite cannot be relied upon after
it has been stored for a Lumber of years.
The inventor of terroite claims that its
quality will not deterrorate unde- any
conditions. This of course is a matter
of conjecture, as the United States en
gineering crops has not yet been able
to tost this claim, frequent changes
of temperature, even below the freez
ing point do not effect terrorite to tbe
came extent as dynamite, nor does it
disintegrate in contact with iron, copper
brass, zinc or and other metal,
i The chief value of tbe new efplosive
is that it can be used for artillery pur
poses. It can be safely fired with gun
powder from any rifle or mortar, At
the moment of explosion tho shell
bursts wita greater force than if it
were filled with ordinary oowder. Ter
rorite can also be used in charging tor
pedoes or submarine mines. A shell of
solid steel weighing 1,000 pounds
thrown from a twelve inch Bteel rifle
and filled with this explosive would
not only pierce sixteen-inch armor, but
mould prove very destructive, when
ite contents were distributed.
Terrorite is an American invention,
Tbe Mexican government has pur
chased the right to use it both on land
and water. Mexican artillerymen say
they are highly satisfied with the result

It is an unconditional surrender of tbe

A Bloody Plot Polled
BoeTON, Mass., Sept 11. The arrest
of James E. Cutler by the Boston
police has spoiled a diabolical scheme to
murder and rob, and brought to light
a collection of infernal machines suf
ficient to blow up half the city.
Cutler's sister oarrel Lutber II.
Rowe, a wealthy manufacturer. Mr.
Rons' home is at Melrose, but b:s
manufa'tory if at Haverhill. Cutler
was angry because Lis wealthy brother-in-law
refused to advance as much cuh
as his extravagant tastes demanded and
tried to take hia life. In 188 he made
the first attempt and wax arrested and
sentenced to two yearn' imprisonment.
As eoon as he was released he again
laid his plans to secure his brother-in-law's
wealth. He loomed on Chancers
street and after his arrest tbe nature
of his plot was revealed.
His original plan was lo blow up bis
victim. He laid in a big stock of giant
powder, nitro glycerine, dynamite nd a
regular arsenal of firearms. In addition
to these weapons be has mary bombs
ready fcr use. Hie original echewe was
to conceal a bomb in an umbrella and
leave it in Mr. Howe's hinds. Upon re.
flection he decided that there was too
much danger to himoelf in that plan, so
be abandoned it for the plan of blowing
up the bouse. But that might involve
the dettsuction of bis sister and that
scheme was gives up.
Lost Wednesday he confided his plan
to an old friend, William Butler, lie
and Butler bad worked together in the
same shop. He asked Butler's ass st
ance in removing Rowe, and promised
him half of the money that waeexpected
as a result of the crime. Butler at first
thought the whole matter was a joket
but when be discovered that Cutler was
really bent on burder and robbery, he
pretended to approve of the scheme in
order to hold the man's confidence and
tben be revealed the plot to the police.
Cutler's plan was to have been
put in operation. He was at the
rendezvous waiting for bis accomplice
when tbe police arrested him. He and
Butler were to have proceeded to Mr.
Rone's bouse in Melrose. Butler was
to ring the bell, and it was anticipated
that Rowe would answer the bell in per
son. As soon as he opened the door,
Cutler was to shoot him. If be missed
his aim. Butler was to open fire. Then,
having disposed of Mr. Rowe, the two
were to cover Mrs. Rowe with their re
volvers and fon-e her to give up all the
money and valuables in the house. In
case she refused, she, too was to be
murdered.

Cleveland, O., Sept 11. Bishop
Leonard, of tbe Episcopal church Tues
day made public his decision in the
case of Rev. Howard MacQueary of
Canton, O , whose attorneys recently
moved for a modification of the sentence
passed upon bim Bix months ago. Mr
MacQueary was originally suspended
from the university for six months, to
be deposed at the end of that time if he
still refused to recant his heterodox
utterances. The bishop now changes
that sentence to perpetual suspension
until Mr. McQueary shall recant
This does not conflict with tbe canons
of tbe church, and while it leaves tbe
accused still .a minister he cannot
preach until he has conformed to the
bishop's orjer.

had gone away. All attempts to gain

Catholics would take her life. Tuesday
she received a lett-r and when she rend

Mrs. Dr. Bolton in an interview said:
Miss Ava was received into ber hus

weeks ago. They were much impressed
with her zeal in missionary work and
her Christian character. Mrs. Bolton
sa:d she had accompanied Miss Ava to

Out there was nothing in the young
lady a life to show that she waa in any
way partiul to the Catholic religion.
Miss Ava never told Mrs. Bolton the
object of her visit to the college and

A Brilllaol A Voir.
I'asia Sept 1- A banquet was giv
en VauoVvere by De Freyclnet minister
of war to the French generals taking
part in tbe army maneuvers, and to tie
military attaches watching them, was s
uit brilliant afTair. Ia fact the ban.
quet may be said to have been more
than a mere complimentary feait It
m apparently selected as the o caiou
for the French government through
De Freycinet, to give utterance tc iU
view upon the peace prospecU of Eu
rope. De Freycinet during the course of a
speech, made special reference to the
Pacific tendencies of France. The lead
ing idea of tbe maneuvers, he said, waa
to throw light on and give exercises in
the duties of commander-in-chief. The
result showed that supreme command
worked salibfact-irily as to army corps
and diisional commands. This was a
very considerable reault and be con
gratulated every one on it, from the
soldier in the ranks to the commander
ic-chief.
Xext year, cmtinu-1 the minister of
war, the territorial tro.ps will for the
tirst time take part ia the army maneu
vers, and he trusted tbe generals would
continue their efforts tj perfect the
army, which was the principal element
of France's influence in ti e world. The
progress made by the French army was
clear evidence of the fict that the gov
ernment of the Republic, in spite of sur
face changes, waa capable of long con
ceived deKigrjft,
Nobody, M. De Freycinet said, now
doubts that we are strong or that we
shall prove to be wise. We know how
to maintain our calmness and dignity
.n the days of misfortunes which have
paved the way to recuperation. Loud
applause.J
.The Kuseian General Frederick, dean
of the foreign military attaches, pro

San Salvador, Sept IX Millions of
dollars worth of property and many
lives were destroyed in this republic by
nn earthquake Thursday. Whole
towns were destroyed and as far as ad
vices received here indicate, hardly a
city in the country except thoKe along
the coast escaped the awful elTecta of
the com ulsion.
The panic stricken people of this city
flocked to the ojien grounds ouUtide the
city, where temporary shelters were put
up. Here many horses have fallen.
The towns throughout the country suf
fered more severely. Analvuinto and
Comaaagula were completely destroyed
while Con jutepeque, Santa Toe I a, San
Pedro and Masahut were so badly shak
en that they arcrpractically ruined. The
Bhook waa plainly felt and did some
damnge at Saatu Aim and Susimpeque
fully fifty miles from here.
It iB impossible now to form any idea
as to the number of lives lotit. To
people were killed there, though there
were many almost miraculous escapoa
from death. It ia feared many people
