DENvr.n , Colo. , August 10. [ Special Tolo-
IV pram to the BKE.J At noon to-day Govcr
nor Adams received front Adjutant General
West , at Glenwooil Springs , a dispatch con
taining a direct appeal from Shcrilt Kendall.
Kendall sent word to General West that ho
is at a point on the old Fort Thornburgh bat
tle ground with fourteen men. Ho has been
trying slnco last Thursday to servo on the
Indians the warrants for the arrest of the
two Indians who are Indicted for horse
thieving , The Indians , however , refused to
let htm approach , and they are Intrenched
In the hills and lire on him and bis posse
every time an attempt Is made to get near.
Sheriff Kendall accordingly asked Adjutant-
General West to send him aid to serve the
warrants. Governor Adams also received
dispatches from Mayor Clarke ot Meeker ,
and from Senator Eddy , describing the situa
tion as very serious. Mayor Clarke sends
word that be h becoming very
anxious about Sheriff Kendall's , safety ,
for tbo sheriff seems In a state
ot siege AS well as the Indians. In response
to this Governor Adams lias ordered out cav
alry companies from Denver , Colorado
Spiinis , Canon City , Leadvillo and Aspen.
Tlio orders to all these companies are to start
for the front at once. Governor Adams also
telegraphed to General Crook at Omaha that
the situation was becoming serious and he
urged that steps bo taken by the war depart
ment to protect the settlers. Tlio governor's
dispatch to the general detailed the situation
and stated that the stito of Colorado would
see that Sheriff Kendall got his process
served. The governor's orders to the state
military are to proceed only to assist Sheriff
Kendall In serving his civil process. Captain
Lawson's company started this afternoon tor
the tront. Governor Adams showed this
afternoon that ho rozarded the situation as
serious. The dispatches which ho received
were of a weighty nature , and though the
governor was prompt In his orders , ho evi
dently had hoped that the affair would not
become so troublesome as It now looks.
A Batle Inevitable.
MEEKEU , Colo. , ( by courier to Glenwood
Springs ) , August 16 , 5 a. m. [ Special Tele
gram to the BEE. I The worst has been
realized and the citizens of Garfield county
are all fraught to the highest point of ex
citement over the fact that the whole White
river country is swarming with Indians and
that an attack by them is Imminent on all
the branches lying away from MeeKor. Tne
first intelligence of the serious turn of affairs
was obtained byyour correspondent near the
Milk river trail , about eight miles above
Meeker , where I overtook Dan VanCleef ,
the adjutant general's courier , returning
from the Martin ranch , twenty miles away ,
and from him obtained the following : "I
left Glonwood Springs on Sunday morning
at 10:20 : o'clock , striking up the Bifle and
going over the old Ute trail to Meeker ,
whcro I arrived just seven hours
and Hi teen minutes from the
time of starting. On arriving at Meeker
1 eave the dispatches Bent by General West
to Commissioner Gregory. They employed
Tom McNeill to bring tbo reply. The people
of Meeker were very much excited and tlio
long absence of Kendall caused great anxi
ety. 1 remained at Meeker until 7 o'clock
last nlzlit , being undecided as to the best
route to take to find Kendall. Senator Eddy
came In at 7 o'clock from his ranch In the
Axial basin and reported that S hen it Ken
dall and fourteen men were at Frank Mar
tin's ranch on Milk river , within half a mile
of the Thornburg battle field. He said thai
some of Kendall's men hhad deserted him
As soon as 1 heard this I Immediately sad
died my horse and started for Martin's ranch
which Is twenty miles northwest of Meeker ,
I reached there at 10 o'clock and fount
Kendall. Ho was in good spirit !
and was accompanied by only fourteen men
He said tdatthirty-live bad left him at Wil
liams' Fork the day before , and that he had
had two skirmishes with the Indians , one or
Saturday and one Sunday. The battle Sat
urday resulted , bo believed , In wounding
two Indians , and probably that both wen
killed. One white man had his horse shot
from under him. This was the first battli
since the one Tuesday last between the Ute ;
and Sheriff Kendall. The fight occurred It
the hills a few miles back from Williams
Fork. Tbe two parties encamped within t
couple of miles of each other all night On
Sunday morning the Indians agalt
came up and began to open fin
and drew tbe sheriff's party out fron
the hills towards the Williams river. Thi
tight continued for about an hour. Ono In
dlan fell from his horse. Kendall thinks 1
Is Elny , the outlaw son of Colorow. Tli
Indian , whoever ho was , dropped from hi
horfe dead. Ho was recognized by eli
Carkel , who sold Elny the borso as a race
last summer. The Indians numbered abou
sixty , and Kendall's outilt\vas ; about the sam
sUe. The Indians were only part of th
band , and old Colorow was not with their
They were headed by Elny. Just after thl
thirty-live men In Kendall's posse became
came dissatisfied with his manage
mcnt and left him. The Indians ha
then drawn off Into the hills. Thlrty-liv
left Kendall and went down the north forl
of the White , and Kendall and fourteen mei
remained in camp. When the thlrty-fiv
men , who were headed by Phil Foote , hat
cone about a mile , the Indians benan follow
Ing them closely and fired at them. The
took the Foote outfit for the whole party
Kendall was attracted by the shots and gath
ered his men and rode after them. Ho close :
In behind the Indians and opened fire o :
them , when they cut out from the pursul1
and went under cover ot the hills. If it ha
not been for Kendall's Interference the dc
scrters would have had a hard time of It an
a repetition of the Thornbur li affal
might have resulted. The deserters wet
settlers from the White and Bear rivers , u
npar Senator Eddy's ranch. They did nc
think that Kendall was sufficiently qualltie
to command the outnt , and favored a dlrec
attack on the Indians , which be refused t
Uo. "
Vtn Cleef took the old govern men t roac
and went toward Glenwood Springs , whlct
when ho reaches , be will have ridden 1C
miles wltnout stopping , except for a chanc
of horses. Shortly alter Van Cleef le !
Meeker , Henry Gotf , a cowboy , was presso
Into service and given dispatches to carry t
Adjutant-General West , who Is at Glenwoo
Springs :
"I regret to have to advise von that wo wl
need troops to help us out. Have dlspatchc
messengers to fort Duquesno for soldier
but have little contldenco In obtaining thei
In time to save lossot life and property. W
have force enough to protect Meeker , bi

* e ms simply a question of open hostllif
Wt should nave at least 100 or 150 n-.on wli
rifles. The sooner soldiers and guns ai
hero the better. The sheriff and a p rl
of ieventeon have not. aud can IK
N AUfd from until they abauUo
the chase and came In. Eddy said that
trouble had been brewing In the Whlto river
country for some time and he believed mat
serious trouble would result If some steps
were not taken by the state to prevent It. "
Goff left with the dispatches at 10 o'clock
and expected to reach Glenwood Springs In
the morning , when General west will proba
bly order troops to bo sent here.
W. H. MlPer loft here Monday raornlne ,
before Kendall had been heard from , for Fort
Duquesne , 145 miles away , with an appeal
for troops. There are 825 centered
troops stationed there , and if
they come down across the country
they could probably surprise the hostllcs and
route them in a short time. Miller only suc
ceeded In getting as far as Blair's ranch ,
thirty miles up the main branch of the White
rlyor , when ho met Blair and .was Instructed
to come back for aid , as a band of eighteen
bucks were camped Just below the ranch on
a small creek and two other parties had been
seen during the day. It Is thought these are
the reinforcements from the Ulntah and Un-
compahgro reservations which Colorow sent
for. MUler has returned , but another at
tempt will be made to send a courier to the
From the best Information at hand I am
Inclined to think the appeal of Colorow to
the young bucks at the agencies has been
successful , and that he has obtained as many
more warriors as he numbered In his original
band. This will make his force about proba
bly 200 Indians , Theyaro divided into three
groups , and will probably occupy a day in
getting together. Colorow Is supposed to be
in the hills between Meeker and Williams
fork. Elny's wing Is on the Milk river , and
the third party , comprising relnforcemnts ,
are on the Bear river. Colorow Is not going
bacK to the reservation , and his attitude
The condition ot affairs at Meeker at this
writing (5 ( a. m. ) is at fever heat. The most
thorough preparations are boliiK made , and
if the Indians should attack us they will
meet a warm fieht Kendall Is expected back
some tlmo to-day , and other ranchmen living
on the thren forks of the White , and on the
Yampa and Bear , will soon follow and con
centrate ther forces hero 225 men by
Wednesday inorninir. Couriers have been
sent out to notify the settlers of Pecarachute ,
Salurlan , Carbonate , Gresham , and other
towns lying In the vicinity of Meeker.
If a battle occius It will not be settled In a
day or In a week , and it appears essential to
have the troopscxulpped with suitable arms
and provisions for an extended campaign.
The country In which the campaign will be
conducted Is favorable to the Utos in every
way. Garliold county Is over 5,000 squaio
miles In area and probably the most broken
and Irregular surface In the state. There is
hardly a mile of even ground contained In
its domulns , and the Innumerable passes ,
canons and streams will make progress nec
essarily slow.
The messenger who left Kendall yesterday
arrived to-night after a hard ride bearing the
following message :
MILK lltvnit , Colo. , Aueust 15. General
George West Dear Sir : VanCleef has just
arrived and delivered your message. In ie-
ply will say that we cannot get to talk to the
Utes at all. At every point we gut near them
they shoot at us and will not blurt toward
the reservation , but have gone up In the
mountains. In my opinion wo have got to
light. If 1 could get arms and
amunltion and an outfit for 100,1 can settle
the matter In lifteen or twenty days , but I
am sure in my own mind that they will not
go without trouble. Truly youis ,
J. C. KENDAI.U
The courier said that if Elny has been
killed the light will surely como and tlio people
ple want relief. VanCleef reports that there
were probably 150 men in Mocker ready and
willing to fight and defend the town.
Kendall Reaches Mocker.
GLENWOOU SWINGS , Colo. , August 15.
[ Special Telegram to the BEI : . ] Word has
just been received hero that Sheriff Kendall
has just arrived at Meeker with fourteen
men. Ho suffered no loss. Tne Indians ,
however , can figure up one killed , probably
Elny , and four wounded. They have re
ceived reinforcements , however from the
agencies to the number probably of fifty or
seventy-five. Old Colorow is in the mountains
north ot Meeker waiting for them to join
him. They can do so In a day. Then , when
he learns ot the killing of his son , the trouble
will begin. Ho will seek revenge and begin
at Meeker , where there are 400 women and
children.
Not Heard or at Washington.
WASHINGTON , August 10. [ Special Tele
gram to the BEH. | The Indian office of the
Interior department still professes to have re
ceived no news whatever of the reported out
break among the White Bivor ( Jtes , aud all
who ask for information are put off with the
btatomeiit that the office believes that the re
ports are greatly exaggerated. In view of
the fact that the reports from the seat of hos
tilities continue to clvo details ot what
seems to be an outbreak among the Indians ,
It would appear that It Is the duty of some
one to make an official report to the govern
ment. General U pshaw , acting commissioner
of Indian affairs , says that If the outbreak
was at all serious tbe agent would certainly
have Informed the department before this ,
and because he has received no report ot any
kind he says that the newspaper stories of
the affair are of course nothing but canards.
To those havlne business with the office a
different view presents Itself. It Is that the
atent is very negligent , for no ono but the
acting commissioner doubts that tbe out
break Is of a serious nature. To any ordi
nary citizen the Idea of telegraphing for In
formation would suggest Itself , but Mr. Up-
sbaw says that up to the present time sucli a
course has not Deen adopted by the depart
ment. , _

The Inonndlary Theory.
PEoniA , ill. , August 10. The Illinois
state board ot railroad and warehouse com
missioners arrived In the city this morning
and resumed the Inquiry begun at Chats-
worth last week Into the Wednesday night's
disaster on the Toledo , Pcorla A Western.
K. N. Armstrong , superintendent of the
road , who had already been examined , was
iccalled and was the llrst witness. Five min
utes after the accident ho examined the
bridge and found the piling and caps almost
Intact ; strong enough In fact , he thought ,
to have laid the stringers on them for a tem
porary bridge. The stringers wore about
three-quarters buincd , and the one on the
south sldo was burned ana broken oil at the
cast cud and was Inclined down ward from the
west end. lie did not then observe the rails ,
but at day light they had been bent down
ward by the heat. It took four hours to put
out the flre by throwing dust on it , water be
ing scarce , and by that tlrno the timbers had
been pretty well consumed. The bridge was
a pile bent bridge fifteen feet long and had
been reported in good condition by the bridge
inspector on May 14 , when he made an in
spection of all tlio bridges on the road.
Mr. Armstrong exhibited copies of orders
which were sent out by telegraph Tuesday ,
the ninth day before the wrecK. The lirst to
the roaduiaster was as follows : August ( I ,
1887. C. Ennls Have your men run over
their sections to-morrow , p. m. . the last thing
before quitting time and see that bridges are
in no danger of hre. ( Signed , )
E. N. AHMSTKONQ.
The following was sent out to the agents :
'August ' U , Ib377 All Agents East , Including
Blind Stations : Last thing you do before
going homo to-morrow ( Wednesday ) nizht ,
bo sure your switches arn set for the main
track. Clear the main track and have brakes
set. ( Slened ) , J. O. MASON. "
Mr. Mason is train dispatcher. Mr. Arm
strong could only guess at the speed of the
excursion train , but ho thought it was thlity
or thirty-live miles per hour. They were not
endeavoring to make up time. Ho had
talked with both engineers on that subject at
Gridley , and told tlTem it was not necessary ,
that tlicro was plenty of time in which to
pt to Niagara Falls.
The tirst engine struck the rails at the east
end of the bridge all right , the tender pushed
: licm aside and the second engine still more
disturbed them. The caps ot the bridge
wore of oak , the piling of white oak and the
strinuets ot pine. There wore two rowsot
piling , four on each side. Witness thought
that the lire at tlio brldee would make a very
faint light , If any , as seen from Chatsworth ,
because of its lower grade and the elevations
between. The witness believed that It was
safer to run the excursion train In one section
of tifteen cars with two locomotives than In
two sections , because In the latter case tiiero
was danger of a roar end collision , or else if
tlio trout section were wrecked of the real-
section runninv Into It Thu dancer would
depend upon how lar apart the sections were
running. Witness thought the si/o of
the train did not cut any figure
In the cause or extent of
the disaster. In his opinion a train of tifteen
cars , fourteen of them loaded with passen
gers , would not bo considered dangerous by
railroad men. Hq knew of regular trains ot
as many as a do/on coaches being run daily
on some ot the leading roads. On the same
date the Toledo , ' Peorla ite Western train
went out the Lake Erlo & Western ran out
ot Bioomington another excursion to Ni
agara Falls which was also a double-header
and consisted of at least twenty coaches , pos
sibly twenty-two or twenty-three , and carried
SM passengers. Witness has been on a
Wabash double-header of eleven or twelve
coaches when It jumped the track and every
coach ran oil , some on one sldo
and some on the other and
not a single person was scratched. The
railroads , the Pennsylvania system among
them , frequently run double-headers. The
Toledo , Peorla Western runs freight trains
that way often when their length required it.
Witness denied that Engineer McCllntock
had remonstrated with him about running a
double-header. It would bo safe to run two
engines together over a bridge properly con
structed. The head engine , No. 21 , was toe
largest on the road. It weighed forty tons.
The second engine was No. 31 , and weighed
thirty-four tons. No.1 was chosen for the
excursion on account ot its great strength
and power.
Beriah Warren , master mechanic of the
Toledo. Peoria ite Western , was sworn anil
tea tilled that he had been in the business
twenty-live years on several roads. Ho con
sidered the train In first-class condition
for a trip of that kind. Ho had a
great deal of cxpeiience In sending
out double headers on all the roads he had
been connected with. He would consider a
tialn of tifteen passenger coaches perfectly
safe. The witness described the geography
of the wreck as he found It. Four cars were
packed ono above another and almost con-
lined in space of one so completely and
closely hail they been telescoped , and the Hlto
of their wreck did not exceed nine or ten
feet. The right of way looked as thoueh the
grass and weeds had been cut and burned
off , but there wore no Indications of any
thing of the kind close to the bridge ; not
closer than lifteen feet. Ho could
not say how recently the right of way had
Deen burned.
J. 11. Markley , master of bridges and build
ings , had been In the business twelve tears ,
the last two with the Toledo , Peorla & West
ern. He was a carpenter by occupation aud
had built bridges himself. He examined the
burned bridge Slav S4 and found It in lirst-
class condition. Ho had rebuilt It May 18 ol
the previous year. Uoalso rebuilt the bridge
after the wreck. The one burned was hcaviei
than these on other roads witness had
worked on and the stringers w ere of standard
material and dimensions.
A. Ennls , roadmastor of the Toledo , Fo-
orla & Western , said It was tils opinion the
bridge waa set on tire , because on the sotitli
side of the bridge the right of way had been
burned three weeks ago and there were no
signs of the lire on the north Bide. Then the
fire that burned did not extend far. Tim
othy Coughliu was brought In. He Is a sec
tion foreman , and repeated substantially hi !
testimony given before the coroner's jury.

LONDON , August 10. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to the BF.R.J The conserva
tive newspapers seem pretty well agreed In
urging on the cabinet to proclaim the Na
tional league. This can only be done , It
seems , by the cabinet within the next few
days , after which elapse parliament must bo
summoned to giro effect to a later
proclamation. The St James Gazette
does not tnlnco words about the mat
ter. To-day It says : "The league ouijht to
be fought , to have been proclaimed several
weeks ago , and It escaped through the ro-
mlssness of the government A fresh crop
of dlfticultlcs will arise It parliament Is al
lowed to separate without the proclamation
being made. A repetition ot the tragedy In
the Phrenlx park would just now bo ex
tremely Inconvenient The ono thing the
government has to do now Is to prove to all
the \voihl that they are In earnest and not
afraid. If they are going to bo afraid ot Mr.
Gladstone and Mr. Parnell they might just
as well not bo where they are. "
On the other hand , the National league Is
belligerent For Instance , It Is wired to-
Ight from Dublin that the most extraordl-
ary precautions arc being made by the Pon-
onby tenants to resist the/expected evictions.
Vll the houses are barricaded with trees and
lengthened with Iron bars , whllo trenches
re thrown up on all the approaches. A civil
inglncor has been employed to superintend
ho work. The windows have been made
nto loopholes , through which water and
ineal can bo thrown from the inside. Drains
ave been constructed from a largo bog In
ho vicinity for the purpose of flooding the
tiousos if necessary , and other defensive
reparations have been made. At Inchquin
trench twentylivefeet deep has been cute
o defend a house. In relation to these
victlons a meeting was arranged to bo held
n Youghal to back up the tenants on tlio
'onsonby estate , who may bo disposed to
ivaver In their allegiance to the plan of cam-
ialgn. A force of armed police journeyed
rom Cork to strengthen the local police.
Mr. Lane , M. P. , who traveled by the aamo
rain , got out at Kllleagh , within live miles
if Youghal , and drove to Gort Hoe
iliapol , where ho was met by Father
Keller and n large crowd , and where a mcct-
ng was held. The advertised meeting In
L'ouglial w'as merely meant to i deceive the
authorities. As the proceedings were clos-
ng policemen drove up in cars to be only re
solved with derision. While the police re
mained at Gort lioe , Mr. Lane and his
riends drove rapidly to Youghal and
Addressed another meeting In the
Jail house before the police
mil time to return. 'In bis second speech
Mr. Lane said It was their duty to show
hat they had an organization. In reality , In

STANLEY.
Ho Passes Through the Bazolik
Country Safely African News.
[ Copi/ruM ( 1887 by James Gordon Hcimet' . ]
15UUSSEI.S , August l0.w-New | York Herald
Cable Special to the BKK.J I received
to-day letters from the t < ongo dated July 15 ,
saying that a largo party of Tippo Tib's Arab
slave traders , having boon discovered below
ho Stanley Falls the Utazoulc natives were
afraid to receive them with open arms , but
surrounded and attacked their camp during
the night. Fifteen Arabs were killed. The
others fled. When the Stanley expedition
approached , the Bazouk country natives bo-
leving it was a fresh Arab expedition coni
ng to punish them , rushed away. Stanley
therefore traveled through their country
without meeting with any hostility. Never
theless , previous olUclal telegrams announc-
ng Stanley's arrival at the confluence of the
Aruwlmi and Congo June " seem erroneous.
The expedition only icached Uaigola Station
May 3 , aud cannot therefore have arrived at
the Aruwlmi before the ninth or tenth of
June. Nevertheless there Is no anxiety as to
: ils fato. News from the Congo Free State Is
very good.
The ferocious liargola tribes have had a
bloody Inter-tribal war , ending in hoirible
scones of cannibalism , but remain on the best
terms with their European ruler.
The famine Is diminishing and crops prom
ising well.
Surveys for future railroads are proceeding
satisfactorily on the lower Congo.
The administration ot the Free btate has in
creased the term of service of native soldiers
from ten to twelve months.
With the consent of the natives , agents of
the Free State have explored fresh and un
known countries and established with the
natives friendly relations , which may lead
eventually to Important results. Another ex
cursion from tbe Free State went into the
Upoto country to liberate some of the state's
soldiers who ware made prisoners after the
capture of Stanley Falls. Having found that
the Upoto natives had killed several of the
prisoners , the expedition punished the
Upbtos severely. All Europeans In the Free
State enjoy good health , despite slight attacks
of fever.
Death of a Danish Author.
LONDON , August 10. Mover A. Gold-
schmldt the Danish poet and author , is dead.
He was sixty-eight years old ,
[ Meyer Aaron Goldscbmldt was born In
Vordlngborg , In the Island of Sec-
land , in 1319 , and was educated In
the University of Copenhagen. In 1840
ho startled the old-fashioned Danish capital
by founding tbe Corsair , a weekly journal ,
through which hi ? brilliant wit and satire
found Instant recognition. Eight years
later ho started the North and South , a crit

Seaman Scott Found at Last.
Nr.w YOJIK , August 10. Blchard Seaman
Scott , who absconded In 18S5 with 8100,000
belonging to tlio Manhattan bank In which
ho had been employed and about whoso dis
appearance and whereabouts there was such
profound mystery , has made a confession be
fore Consul General Waller at London. , The
story had almost died out of mind , but a suit
has just been Instituted In the supreme court
which discloses not only Scott's action but
the fact that ho was not alone In the stupendous
deus defalcation. This suit is against John
It. Dunn , Scott's colleague , for the re
covery of 8140,000. The affidavits of
tl.o abscondcr made in London show
Dunn to bo a bigger rascal than
Scott , and that ho was partly the cause of the
loiter' ? crime. Scott states that ho had taken
from the bank prior to Juno 1,1895 , various
small sums aggregating 810,000 , and that
about this time , by reason of a change of of
ficers , ho feared his shortage might bo discov
ered. John A. Dunn , who Is a cousin of his
wife , was practicing law , and to him Scott
hastened tor advice. Dunn asked him how
much money was within his reach. Scott
said there was over $1,000,000 In his charge ,
and Dunn told him ho had better take a
million and go to Canada. It would be enough
to cripple tlio bank aud compel them
to compromise. He further advised Dunn
about disguising himself , and how to cor
respond with him from Canada. On the
next day Scott took 9300,000 from the bank
n largo bills and met Dunn. The latter told
ilm It ho carried the stolen property into
anada ho would be oxtradlcted and advised
ilia to leave the money with some one.
Scott that night replaced the money and
letcrmlned to borrow enough to make up
ils shortage. Ho failed in this , however , and
lie second day after got a disguise , took two
laekases of money , one containing
WO.OOO and the other 810,000. lie then
went to meet Dunn and handed him the
5140,000 package. That evening ho wont to
Canada and staid there till September. Ho
corresponded with Dunn as per the latter s
llrectioiiB and some times received sums of
nonoy from him in bills of 8500 and 81,000.
.11 September ho went to Europe and has
since icslded in London , wncre his wit"
oincd him in IbbO. In tlio latter part of
.bi > 0 attempts were made at a compromise
with tlio bank and In December , it is said , an
jflcr was accepted by the bank to release him
'or SCO.OOO. Scott then wrote Dunn telling
ilm to net ready to pay that amount Dunn
replied In January , ot this year , that he had
est all the money in speculation. Then
came the crash , and finally these proceed
ings were instituted. Dunn's story of the
speculation was not credited by Scott's fam-
ly or relatives in Now York. Dunn was ar
rested Monday , of this week. In his office ,
ind took the matter very coolly. Ho was
sent to Ludlow street Jail In default of
8150,000 ball. Ho will bo Indicted , bcott
cannot bo extradited. Dunn Is thirty-eluht
years of ago. The whole story came out to
night aud created a great sensation.

ing 81,000,000 to Miss Sarah and her brother

a legacy from her aunt for use during her life.
Miss Bobbins took rooms at the Buckingham

asserted , made the acquaintance of Miss
llobblns and made uu oiler of marriage on
the basis of being a single man. Ho pretended
tended that ho had got an Illinois divorce
from Mrs. Johnson , and only
for the sake of appearance was
living witli her still , in reality being
only tutor for her child. Miss Bobbins took
counsel ot .lames Malcolm. Then Bobbins ,
lior brother , hearing ot the situation , called
on Mrs. Johnson , who denied the fact of any
divorce. Malcolm discouraged any such
marriage as desired by Miss Bobbins , he says ,
yet she accompanied Dr. Johnson to London ,
whcio a marriage Is said to have occurred. A
child was born , then came a complication of
negotiations In which an effort was made to
Induce the first Mrs. Johnson to go to Illinois
and secure a divorce. The Inducement offered
WAS 850,000. She wanted 8100,000 at first ,
but finally went for 850.000 and
secured the divorce In 18SO. Thereupon
Dr. Johnson and Miss Bobbins ware married
In this city. They have had a child since
then. Malcolm now sues the second Mrs.
Johnson for 810,000 as counsel fees , ho hav
ing also acted as agent for the Bobbins estate ,
collecting rent , etc. Under advice of Dr.
Johnson , it Is alleged the second Mrs. John
son refused to pay the sum demanded. The
case was sent to a referee. The case came
up In court yesterday , and was referred to a
referee. It has created quite a sensation.

THE IVES FAILURE.
A Oood Deal of Hklrmlahlng Going
On Among the Creditor * .
NEW VOIIK , August 10. [ Special Tele
gram to the BEE , ] A morning paper says :
"It begins to loot as though these creditors
of Henry S. Ivos & Co. who propose to utilize
the collapse of that firm to acquire control ot
the Cincinnati , Hamilton & Dayton road at
as cheap a figure as possible wore not going
to have everything their own way. There Is
a wide diversity ot opinion as to how tlio
affairs of Ives & Co. shall bo managed. Of
course money lenders are as a rule perfectly
satisfied to bo paid elf and they can not from
their point ot view , bo paid too quickly. But
the creditor companies , ether than the Cin
cinnati. Hamilton A Dayton , are golne to
see to li that the equity In the loans of Ives
& Co. Is made as largo as possible as Its
share of equity will rove.'t to them and be
sides gattlng sonio securities back that is
about all tliov can hope to recover from the
wreck. So far as can bo learned there was a
good deal ot skirmishing yesterday between
the conlilctlng creditor Inteiests which Is
quite likely to lead to decisive action to-day.
The fact was developed \ esterday that the
hypothecation of Sl-i50OuO of Dayton it
Chicago liist mortgage bonds was oven a
morn culpable transaction than at tirst ap
peared. These bonds were authorized to
take up an equal amount of notes Issued
in connection with the construction of
the road. The bonds arc therefore
not a first Hen upon the reader
or the notes are still outstanding and bo-
Ides this the authority to issue the bonds
tad been rescinded by the directors of the
omimny and the cancellation of the bonds
as boon ordered. That everyone who had
.nythlngto do with Ives shall be hurt In
> ocket or reputation is not surprising. Hence
o ono will bo surprised to learn that the
2,000,000 of Cincinnati , Hamilton & Da > ton
jonds Ives succeeded In selling for WK , os
tensibly for the company but In reality for
the benefit of Ives Sc Co. , have not yet ocen
marketed by the purchaser. The purchaser
vas a pal of Ivos1 who had to leave this state
few years ago on account of a llttlo matter
f ro-hjpothecatlng that caused a good deal
f disturbance- when It was dlscoveiod. The
> ends are being hugged In Wall street and
irobably will have to be for BO mo time to
emu ; at least until the real character of the
Cincinnati , Hamilton & Dayton company
as recuperated.

he greater portion of the past fifteen years

Nicaragua last May granted to mo for a
'anal ' company a most liberal concession , ami
giving all facilities for advancement of the

As a guarantee. of good faith
on the part of the company
tlio government asked that 8100,000
bo furnished , to be forfeited In event of thn
company tailing to do what It proposes. This
was to bo furnished within sixty days , and
within that time was handed over to an agent
of the Nicaragua ! ! government In tills city.
The means are at hand to put ton engineers ,
each with a large party , on the ground by
December 1 , and the work of minute survey-
'ng will then begin along the whole line. The
[ ireparatoryworK will take probably one or two
years. At an outside calculation the canal can
bo in working order within six years from
completion of that work , and Its cost will
have been from 860,000,000 to 875,000,000 ,
certainly not more than the larger amount.
The canal will bo about one hundred and
twenty feet wide at the bottom varying In
width at the surface according to the char
acter of the country , but generally about
two hundred and eighty-eight feet Tlio
depth at no place will bo less than twenty-
eight feet so'It will float comfortably any
vessel witli the exception of the Great East
ern. Laborers will bo Imported from the
southern part of the United States. There
will bo employed from 10,000 to 15,000 labor
ers , and the work of excavation will cause
no more fever than It would In any other
