The Crimes of a MnssnchtiscttH Gang oT Itobbci-M. BOSTON , Oct. 17. [ Special Telegram to the Bir. . ] It may not bo possible to fasten iiiwn Stain and his gang the murder of Cash ier Barren of the Dexter bank , but there Is already enough known about them to send them probably to prison for life , If not to the gallows. It is charged that at least six mur ders and us many big robberies committed during the las fourteen years can bo traced to tlieso men. About fourteen years ago a farmer named Messenger , In Norfolk , Mass. , was found murdered In his house and about (1,800 in money was missing. Stain's gang was living about twelve miles from Messen ger's hoube. Young Stain , who has con fessed to Sheriff Mitchell his share in a good many crimes , says that ono morning he , his father and Cromwell went to Norfolk , where old man Messenger was known to have como into possession of n largo sum of money. They arrived at Norfolk lute In the evening. Young Stain drove the horses and remained with them while the other went on foot to the house of Messenger , They returned not long after bringing a small bag whteh con tained the money. They divided the booty Iu the wagon. They said they did not get as much as they expected , but Stain's share was about $000. Young Stain says his father told him they did not kill Messenger but 'that ho would probably dio. Young Stain says thut u farmer named Steele , of Madflold. was picked out by the gang as a coed subject to work upon. They determined to secure Stecle's farm , which ad joined the ono owned by Stain. Cromwell and young Stain went to Steolo's place ono day , taking with them a bottle of whisky , In which had been put a heavy dose of arsenic. When they reached Steolo's house they en- gnged the old man In a conversation and of fered him n drink of the poisoned whisky , which ho took and died soon after. It was a part of the scheme that young Stain should marry Steclo's daughter , live with her n lit tle wliilo nnd then kill her nnd secure the farm. But the young man refused to carry out his part of the plot and so it fell through. Another murder was committed in H similar manner. A man named Hmumond owned a farm adjoining Stain's , which the latter coveted. Stain determined to murder him. The gang went to his place with poisoned whisky and found the farmer in his barn handling an ugly bull. The animal penned Hammond to the barn but did not Injure him. The poisoned whisky was administered and Hammond died. The gang made it appear that the bull indicted injuries that caused the farmer's death. Stain failed , however , to gel possession of the farm. THE KOUTS DISASTER. Itnllroiid OtnolitlH Vainly Shielding Their Ci-imitmllty- HAMMOXD , Intl. , Oct. 17. [ Special Tele gram to the BKK. ] Adlltional facts about the Chicago & Atlantic railroad disaster at ICouts are constantly cropping out hero , despite - spite the attempts of the railroad company to suppress everything and shut the mouths of the people. The passengers of the Ill-fated train .say the accident could have been averted if the ( lagman had not been asleep iu the rear coach when the train stopped for water. Ho got up when ho heard the freight train pounding down behind , and went out to stop it. Ho had got about flftccn rods when the flreman of the freight jumped on him. The company is doing all in its power to hush the mutter up. A number of dptrclives and the company's attorney are at ICouts trying to in duce McCool , who is hurt in the hip , to give up his Boston ticket and settle for a small amount. The llvo passengers wcro hurried away from Kotitw , evidently without giving them n chance to testify before the coroner. A night operator says some of the freight en gineers have been in the .habit of sleeping while the trains were running , and cites one case whcro a freight made a regular stop for orders , and conductor and brakeman found the engineer and llreman asleep in their cab. Hallroad men blame tbo system of the Chica go & Atlantic for the accident. A STUANoI } 8UIC1DU. A YOUIIR Farmer Nenr St. Joe Hnngq Himself. ST. Josr.ru , Mo. , Oct. 17.

Henry Young , twenty years old , a son of a rich farmer livhig twelve miles north of St. Joe , was found early this morning by the farm hands hanging by a stout rope in his father's barn. Life had been extinct some time nnd the fatal leap had probably been taken early the night before.

It seems that ho had been in love with her and had paid her considerable attention up to the fimo she wus married and oven stood up at the wed ding. The young lady is almost overcome with griaf and says she had no idea the young man eared anything for her. Ho had never declared his love , but had represented himself to her always as n friend and noth ing more. It Is said th.it Young was In reality the lady's choice for a husband and that she had tried earnestly to convince her self that ho would norno time love her , mar rying her present husband , who idolizes her , In a mad effort to show that she cared noth ing for Young. The affair has created great exritemont , both families being well known and both the young people very popular. Arrivals. NEW Youic , Oct. 17.

Masglo Mitchell ill Imrlc at Boyd's Opera House. Mnggie Mitchell's characters in the early scenes of all her plays have a pre dilection for short drctses and high- crowned rustic head gear. They are generally persecuted lasses who are loved by others above their station. In each and all of those , Mnggio Mitchell is Muggle Mitchell , one portraiture dif fering from the other only in the rich ness and color of the provincial attire. In the latter scenes , however , when the fortunes of the heroine require raiment more in harmony with metropolitan tnstcs , there i greater variety in the delineation. The mannerisms of tlio lady which are so well known and so crowded into her juvenile sketches and , frequently , with painful repetition , nro less noticeable. As a consequence , her work while less sug gestive of laughter is more frequently worthy of appreciation. . An exception in this , however , i&ifqund the hcone in Larlo whore the heroine is supposed to have lost her mindi' The eft'cclivo portrayal trayal of such a callimUy is beyond Miss Mitchell's powers. 'The same may he said of her cmJjaJTiussmont in the presence of the Co njless. It was not the work of an actress , imitating nature , but the unbridled licanso of a htnr en deavoring to crcato'a laugh. Besides , the auditor is scat-doly prepared for sunh rusticity yi a little ono who , all nlonjjs has displayed the manners of atydy onuul to those upon whom she calls with nor husband. The orchestra is a valuable assistant to Miss Mitchell's singing , hut nt times , last night , it failed to prevent her Hat ting upon notes whlcfli it was painful to hear.

The money , amounting to about $100 , that was captured in the raid , was turned over to Attorney Godwin , who is the counsel for the gamblers. Ho claims that the money bulongt ) to a party living at North Platte , and that ho lias an order from that jKjrson to take the money and give a receipt for it. It is evidently the intention of the gamblers to make it appear that thiw party at North Platte owim the gambling out- lit and IUH hired Copland , linn" and other professionals to run it for him. Tula party was present at the time of the raid , but was released the next day , it bolng gUppoa'ed. tjtat'ho was merely u visitor. . . . ANOT1II3 A Stranger Sucuuniba to nu OvcrdoAo of the nriiR. A man supposed to boa printer , known both by the name of A. H. Hnlght and Berry , died last evening at the Omaha lodging house , on Jackson street , be tween Ninth nnd Tenth streets , from an overdose of morphine. Halght , in com pany with a comrade named Lorenzo Faint , a painter , had engaged lodgings for all day , and after spending the fore noon in drinkingand carousing , they lay down to sleep. About 3 o'clock Haight complained of sleeplessness and sent out for a dime's worth of morphine. Faint put the bedativo in a dipper of water , Ilaight took a small drink of it , and both lay down again. Faint says ho dropped to sleep shortly afterward , and did not wiiko up until ho was aroused by the landlord about four hours later. He attempted' to awaken his companion , but to his horror he discovered that Ilaight was dead. An examination of the dipper in which the morphine had been disolvcd ex plained tbo mystery. It was nearly empty , nnd it is supposed that Haight either found the first dose insufiiciont and had drank the rest of the medicine to insure sleep , or had awakened fever ish and dry , and seeing the water had swallowed it , forgetting about the drug. Dr. ICd mis ton was summoned , but found that Hfo had boon extinct for over an hour , and the body was removed to the morgue and laid beside tbo remains of Charles Gratop , who died from an over dose of morphine Sunday night. An inquest will bo hold this morning. Haight had claimed to bo a printer at the BKK onico , but none of the com positors know anything about him. Al though his hearing nnd powers of speech wore uniinpairca , ho carried cards in his pocket upon which was printed the assertion that the bearer , A. H. Ilaight , was a deaf mute. On his person was found $170. All that could bo learned about the unfortunate man was that ho had been in Omaha two weeks , all that time being more or less under the inllucnco of liquor. Ho was evidently about thirty-five years of ago , rather short , has a palo complexion , brown hair and a heavy mustache. WAS SHE KIDNAPPED ? Mysterious Dlsnpiicurnnoc or a Thir teen Year Old Girl. Stella Fail-child , a beautiful girl of thirteen , disappeared from the high school building labt Friday morning in a most mybterious manner and it is be lieved that she has been kidnapped. Her father , D. B. Fail-child , is a travel ing man for a Kansas City wholesale house , and a widower. Ho entrusted the charge of his little girl to Mrs. John W. Russell , of 258J ; Davenport street , this oitywhcro nhe was loved and cared for as a daughter. On Friday morning of last week she went to school as usual , but as bho wan going up the stairs bho was overtaken by another little girl who told her that a lady was below who wished to bee her. A few minutes later Tom Fnlcknor , the janitor of the building , saw Stella with the strange lady. The girl was crying and the woman had her arm about her. A moment later the two walked out of the building , and that is the last that has been been of either of them. Since then the moit strenuous oflortrt have booiumnde to discover the whereabouts of the missing girl. The police have been quietly searching the city , and doJ tcctivos have been stationed at the various depots to thwart any attempt to get the child away on the cars. It is feared that she has been kidnapped by some procuress for an evil purpose. At the time of her disap pearance Stella had on a dark brown dress , with velvet trim mings of the same color. She is a beautiful blondevwith golden hair and blue eyes. Her kidnapper is described as a medium sized woman , rather past the meridian of lifo. Mr. Fail-child lias telegraphed that ho will bo hero this morning to do all in his power to ferret out the mystery. Mrs. Husholl , with whom the girl has been living , is a sister to II. H. Palmer , editor of the Kansas City Implement Journal. She is greatly as agonized over the mysterious disappearance of Iho girl as though she wcro her own daughter. REV. MR. SCOTT REMAINS. The Inducements of Boston Cannot Draw Him Thither IVom Omaha. Rov. Willard Scott , of the St. Mary's avenue Congregational church , Sun day announced to his congregation that ho had formally notified the members of the Congregational church in Boston , who had called him to act as their pastor , tb.at h6 had decided to decline U'.S sruno and remain in Omaha. The nnnounccmont was received with the heartiest feelings of gratification by the Omaha society. Yesterday , however , Mr. Scott received a telegram from the Bohton people announcing that if ho declined the call , another would be forwarded to him. This morning another telegram was received from the same place requesting him to withhold his declination till next Wednesday. But , as may be inferred from the above , the request was too late. Mr. Scott has concluded to remain in Omaha , mainly because of the excellent work his church has done since it was organizedthough at a porbonnl dis advantage to himself. His church was first placed in his hands when it wa drawing a missionary contribution of between eight hundred and nine hun dred dollars a year. It has now 260 members , every one of whom ho has re ceived into the society , and who afford him a salary of $ . ' { ,000 per year. And yet , it is in a formative state , and this fact lends Mr. Scott to believe that ho may do more good hero tlmii he could do in the cast. Dr. Fojr to Ijcuve Omaha. Some time ago Dr. Joseph Fey , of the First Chrifatiau church of this city , re ceived a call to Norfolk , Va. The ques tion of the acceptance of this call IIUH boon under careful consideration by the doctor , and ho has finally decided to accept the same at the close of Ills pas toral tciin in this city. The announce ment of tholr pastor's decision was received with the deepest regret by the members of the First Christian church. Under the zealous labors of Dr. Fey the church lias increased in numbers , and is to-day in a prosperous condition , Not tlio possessor of a strong constitution , Dr. Fey has for the past six months been in delicate health and his earnest efforts and success hnvo boon thoroughly appreciated by his congregation. To his new homo ho will boar with him the best wishes of a devoted flock and a host of friends outside the church who have boon drawn to him during his Btay in Oinuhn. As a pabtor and a pulpit orator tor ho is regarded in more than ono fuvorablo light , nnd in his departure the religious and boclul circles of Omaha will luae an exemplary member.
