PARIS. Aug. 80. New York World
Cablegram 8peclal Telegram.) The police
ere trying hard to arrest aome notorioua
American crlmlnala who have Invaded
France and enlisted French crooka in oper
ations which hare atartled the publlo and
caused no end o( trouble.
Three ot the criminal!, who are well
know Bto the authorttlee, but who have
eluded capture, are believed to be responsi
ble for a eerie of attempt! to wreck rail-
war tralna, with the evident purpoae ot
robbery.
The flrat attempt waa made on the Paw
express. A track walker dlacovered
pile ot tlee across the rails In time to
flag the tralna. Three daye later a rail
Was removed from the track over which
the Bwltierland flyer would pasa. A fear
ful dlaaater wa avoided solely by the fact
that the train ahead ot the flyer had been
disabled and green algnal llghta were dis
played. The flyer, which waa traveling at
the rate of seventy miles an hour, slowed
Up so that only the engine and baggage
car left the track when the miselng rail
was reached.
The London night mall train by way of
Callx was brought to a quick standstill a
few daye ago when the engineer law the
red danger signals flashed ahead. Investi
gation disclosed the fact that a switch had
been opened In order to derail the train.
The ewltches are constructed so that the
lightest manipulation turns on a danger
signal a miie away, and tms saved the train
Irom disastrous wreck.
Signal wires have been connected at the
Northern station with all the dispatchers'
towers In Parte except the tower of St.
Denis. The red lights all over the un
protected district set automatically yester
day and 100 tralna were delayed from one
to two hours. The cause of the delay is
being Investigated.
An American thief named Arthur Robin
eon has Parts laughing at his repartee when
fc waa arraigned tor trial. AU the papers
, today publish pictures of "The Humorous
Yankee."
Robinson appeared yesterday In the crim
inal court and asked that the trial be post
poned because hie attorney waa ill and
Unable to be present. The judge said he
eould not grant the request because two
postponements had already been allowed.
"Haven't you confessed repeatedly that
you were sentenced in the United Statee tor
petit larceny, that you stole thla man's
pocketbook and struck the officer who ar
rested you?" queried the judge.
"Yes, your honor," Robinson replied.
Then what can your lawyer say in your
behalf?" demanded the court.
"That'e Just what I'm curloue to know,"
the Yankee said, grinning. '
He got elz months In jail.
An American swindler named Morsheimer
managed to fleece victims out of at least
100,0OO, the police say, before an alarm
waa raised and he fled. It Is said that he
galled from Cherbourg a few daye ago and
the New York police have been notified.
He called himself Baron von Morshelm
god caused it to be reported in business cir
cles that he wae secret agent ot the Roths
childs, He dressed In excellent taste and
conversed brilliantly. He whispered to
. pew-made friends that a company was
being organised to control the early veg
etable and fruit market ot Europe, adding
that when the proper time came he would
let them buy a few shares. A week ago he
produoed some nicely engraved certlflnatee
which many people purchased after promis
ing secrecy. A woman who paid (1,400 for
anma nf tha stock became ausnlctoua of tha
baron because some ot her jewels disap
peared after his visit. Morshelm got wind
of the alarm and fled.

BIRTHDAY OF GREAT NAPOLEON
Celebration la Paris Brings Oat the
Old Ct Kmfnr Over the
1 Date.
(Copyright. 1902, by Press Publishing Co )
PARIS, Aug. 80. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) The cele
brating of August It by imperialists has
awakened the controversy over the correct
date of Napoleon Bonaparte's birth.
Whether he was born on August IS or not
the Imperialist celebration waa appro
priately timed, because on that day and
month Napoleon really became minister ot
France.
Napoleon I le ' generally supposed to
have been born at Ajacclo, Corsica, the
second son of his father, in 1769. The reg
ister of his marriage with Josephine In
1796 says he was born February 5. 1768.
At the ministry of war at Paris is what
professes to be an extract from a Corslcan
baptismal register, made In 1782, which
records the birth of Nabullone Bonaparte
at Copte January 17, 1768. On the other
hand, the certificate produced by the
young Bonaparte when, he entered the mil
itary school In 1779 still exists and It
states he was born August 15, 1769. This
Is the oldest document. It was in the
hands of the French government long be
fore the others purport to have been writ
ten. It was written in time ot peace, and
lastly It would have been examined jealously
by the authorities at Brlenne. It may,
therefore, safely be regarded as true.
The authenticity of the paper at the
ministry of war is doubtful. As to his
marriage certificate, Napoleon probably
overstated his age to please Josephine,
who was considerably older than he. The
same document certainly understates her
age by four years.
KING EDWARD'S GOOD MEMORY
Raca.Ua Iacldeats of a. Voyage Takes
Wkes Ha Was Only Biz
Tears Old.
(Copyright, 1902, by Press' Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Aug. SO. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) King Edward
has a remarkable memory. While on a tour
through the Isle of Man last week Hall
Calne remarked to him:
'That's Albert hall, sir, and the tower Is
Albert's, so-called after! the prince consort's
visit to Ramsey In 1847."
"I remember it," said the king. "I was
on the yacht with the queen, but wae only
years old, and the queen waa not well and
I did not come ashore."
Being asked if he remembered what hap
pened when the prince consort landed, the
king answered:
"I do. He had come unexpected, there
wae nobody to receive him and the local
barber took him ii iiie tup vi the iiiii.'
Somebody spoke of the excellent type of
men among the fishermen, whereupon the
king remarked: "Your magnificent women,
too, they are a very good type."
The king is expected at Balmoral Tuesday,
but he will not stay long, as the weather Is
cold in the highlands. In fact it is thought
that he takee considerable risk In going
there at all in view of the severe chill he
caught there last fall.
He Is showing keen Interest In the per'
sonnel ot the army aad navy. Recently
medals presented to the Indian native troops
were stolen by two English soldiers. The
king telegraphed ordering the fullest inquiry
and when the thieves were discovered he
commanded that they be drummed out of
the army. '

of agriculture, M. Mogeot, has decided to

portations from North and South America
the amount ot horseflesh left unconsumed
constitutes an Injury to the nation's wealth.

'Follows the Train.
The engineer Is reported to have aeen the
tornado in apparent pursuit of the train, and
scarcely an Instant before the cyclonic wind
struck the cars the train gave a lurch.
It
was B o'clock when the train was struck.
Fully an hour and a half elapsed before a
wrecking train arrived. The engine did
not leave the track. The baggage car and
passenger coaches were twisted off ae If by
giant hande and hurled downward to the
bottom ot the embankment. The baggage
car waa shattered to splinters. The two
dead were jammed In the wreckage and
their bodies were cut out with axes. It Is
feared that more bodies may be found un
derneath the debris and the wrecking gang
sent from Waseca Is at work on the skat
tered cars.
The brakeman, who was lighting the
lampe In one of the passenger coaches
when the tornado atruck, cannot be tound
tonight. It is feared his body Is in the
wreck. Passengers saw htm atrlke the un
der side ot the coach with terrific force
and at the same time the lamp he had
been trimming crashed Into splinters. Oil
from the vessel waa ignited from the flame
on the wick, and to the terror of death by
violence waa added the danger of death
by Are for those of the victims who were
Imprisoned in the wreckage.
But men who were the first to ptck their
way out of the splinters hastened to ex
tlngulsh the flames, devoting their atten
tlon to this task before attempting the
work of rescuing the Injured survivors.
The Injured and bodies of the dead were
brought to Wasera, where physicians s'
tended to the seriously Injured. Eva Rich

for the sole purpose of eliminating the
pitching of the ship.
Santos-Dumont announces that In order
to promote Interest in the sport he ie

, tlonal Boa Gives the Crowd Heart
Failure by His Glorious apart
at tho Finish.
NEW TORK. Aug. 80. Savable, atred by
Balvator, the most sensational race horse
the American turf haa ever aeen, won the
rich Futurity at Sheepehead Bay today.
John A. Drake, a western millionaire, owns
htm. His trainer, Enoch Wlshsrd, Is from
the west, and Lyne, a western jockey, rode
him to victory.
August Belmont's Hastings colt. Lord of
the Vale, was second, only an eyelash be
hind, while Dazzling, one ot the four
Keene representatives, finished third.
The time was 1:14, better than the Fu
turity record over the full course, but a
second and four-fifths slower than the best
full six furlongs 2-year-old record down
the chut
The value of the Futurity was: To the
winner, 145, 0C0; to second, $5,230; to third
$2,750; to J. B. Hacgln, who bred the win
ner, $2,000; to Augus't Belmont, breeder of
Lord ot the Vale, $1,250, and to James R,
Keene, breeder of Dasxllng, $500 In all $57,-
150. John A. Drake Is credited with having
won the largest bet ever made by a turfman
in this country. Hie winnings amounted to
more than $100,000.
Never was a more Inspiring race wit
nessed at beautiful Sheepshead; never was
a crowd greater or enthusiasm more un
bounded. Fifty thousand would be a close
estimate to put on the multitude, for this
was to be the greatest ot all Futurities.
Tbe prize was rich, the field large, its
quality Incomparable, and before tho fall
of the flag It looked ae If any one of a
dozen of the thoroughbreds had an even
rhsnre for the atske.
Indeed, with the great field that faced
the starter, the greatest In numbers that .
ever struggled for the laurel wreath of
championship, it seemed as thongh noth
ing short of a miracle could bring them all
aafely through that six furlongs' journey,
short though it wasj with the crowding and
bunching around the dangerous curve of
the chute. They passed that point, how
ever, like a troop of cavalry, and, straight
ened out, came Into the stretch in a ewirl
of dust, Savable and Lord of the Valu
fighting It out to the last Inch. It was
Lyne's good riding that carried his mount
past the flying Belmont colt Just at tbe
wire.
Better Than His Sire.
Out of the west came Savable, the son
of Salvator, whose records have etood for
years, to snatch' away a victory from the
champions of the east cracks that only
days ago were thought to outclass tbe
western colt. Out of the west also came
Proctor Knott, who, in the first running
ot the Futurity, fourteen years ago, out
speeded the same Salvator, that was to
become the Idol of the American turf.
Bavable was able to do what hla famous
Ire failed to do before him.
Another memory of past Futurities came
with the magnificent race ot Keene'e
speediest of fillies, Dazzling, whose sire,
St. Leonards, ran third in the classic of
1S92. It Is not always given to a Oily to
be up in the first flight of such a race.
Butterfly's was a marvel in 1894 and luck
favored L'Alouette three yeare later. To-,
day Dazzling came with a buret ot speed
that was true to her name, but she fal
tered In the last few strides, and, faltering,
was beaten off by the two leaders.
John A. Drake and the western contin
gent, always confident that Savable would
score, played him down from 20, and In
aome books 25 to 15. In such a surging
mass as that which crowded the betting
ring, with every man struggling to place
his money, thousands were as units. Eager
layers seized what was thrust at them,
and knew no east or west. It was the
west, however, that rounded up the good
thing of the day and cashed In at night
fall.
Never Before Snch a Crowd.
Sheepshead never knew such a crowd. At
noon the lower tier of the three-deck grand
stand waa crowded. Long before tbe bugle
sounded the first race all three tiers were
filled with a mass of moving color. It was
woman everywhere, costumed in filmy bril
liant gowns, and bedecked with colors
rare and radiant. Almost ae far as the
eye could reach, down over the lawn and
through the Held, it was a awaylng mass
Of humanity. Twenty thousand surged In
tbe. field, and within and beyond tbe track
rails there were thousands more.
Men prominent In every walk of life and
every man who lovea a race horse and "tbe
sport of kings," whose business would per
mit it, gathered with his fellows under
the shadow of the club house and the great
stands.
Thirty-one were carded to go, 'but Sov
ereign, Sir Voorhles, Dalesman, Love Not,
Royal Summers, Merry Acrobat and Medal
were scratched. Bounding Beauty was added

FAIR PLAY AND LEGAL RIGHTS WIN OUT
Coonty Committee Votes to Giro It
Congressional Caadldato an Vntalr
Advantage Over His Sev
eral Oppoaents.
The republican county committee, at a
meeting held In Washington hall yesterday
afternoon, decided to perform the dutiee
assigned to It by the lawa of the state by
taking charge of the primary election to
be held In this county September 20. The
surrender of Its rights and powers to Mr.
Mercer's congressional committee, which
had been made by a majority acting under
a misapprehension of the law one week
before, waa rescinded.
Aa a result of yesterday's action of the
county committee, Mr. Mercer'e manager
le no longer In a position to enforce the
"rules" be set forth in hla call for con
gressional primaries, under which every
candidate for congress wss to pay him an
assessment ot $50 tn addition to the fee
of ti for each delegate filed.
Neltber Is Mr. Blackburn to be allowed
to name the official boards of tbe prtmarlee,
to prepare the official ballots or to re
ceive the returns and certify the result
to the convention, all of which he arro
gated to himself in his "rules for the re
nomination ot Dave Mercer." Instead, the
county committee, whose membership ' le
fairly representative of all of the-candidates
for congress, Is to conduct the prl.
marles, according to custom and law, and
without any favor to a particular candi
date. Oosa Makes Explanation.
Chairman Gobs, upon calling the meeting
to order yesterday afternoon, made a state
ment to the effect that he had not re
fused to Issue a call for th
slon, but had been out of the city at the
time the movement for another meeting
was carried through by a majority of the
members. Secretary 'Messlck called tbe roll,
and It was found that fifty-nine of the
sixty-one members were present, the same
attendance that was had at the meeting
of the week before.
W. F. Gurley waa the first man recog.
nixed by the chairman, although several
called for recognition at once. Mr. Gurley
read a lint ot polling plaoea, the tame aa- -designated
In the call Issued by Chair
man Goss Friday afternoon, and moved that
it be adopted as tbe official list. W. 3.
Connell suggested that the Gurley mo
tion was premature, as matters of greater
Importance should come up tor considera
tion by the committee before tbe polling
places should be eelected. He moved to
lay Mr. Gurley'a motion on the table, and
then came the first test vote ot the meet
ing, which showed the Mercer following
to be In the minority, the Connell motion
prevailing by a vote ot SO to 28.
Proposes Fair Play.
Mr, Olson of the Seventh ward eatd that
he presumed the purpose of the meeting waa
to provide tor prtmarlee at which all candi
dates would be asaured fair play, and be
moved that a committee be appointed to
select primary election boards and report Its
work to tbe whole committee tor approval
at once. Mr. Klerstead of the Fifth ward '
offered an amendment providing that tbe
Judges and clerks for the primaries be se
lected In the usual way, by calling the roll
and having the committeemen from each
ward in Omaha and South Omaha naming
the officers for their respective wards, the
committee member In country precinct to
act as election boards. Mr. Olson accepted
the amendment and tbe motion prevailed.
The committeemen from 8outh Omaha then
started a movement to change the call ae aa
to provide for the holding of the primary
election In that city at only one polling
place instead ot at a place in each of tbe
elx wards. H. C. Murphy said this was the
unanimous wish ot the South Omaha mem
bors and wae In accordance with the custom
that had always been adhered to In hie city.
Gorier, Breckcnrldge aad Walker.
Mr. Gurley, R. W. Breckenrldge, V. B.
Walker and other Mercerltea spoke at length
and with much fervor against allowing the
South Omaha members to select their own
polling place. Mr. Breckenrldge making the
statement that the republican of South
Omaha ought to submit to the rulee of out- .
elders for tbe reason "that they never
elected any republicans lm Bouth Omaha, but
had to depend on the votes of Omaha to
elect tbe republican ticket."
Mr. Klerstead was prompt to correct Mr.
Breckenrldge by reminding him ot the fact
that South Omaha republicans elected their
ctty ticket at the last election and were now
enjoying a first-class republican administra
tion. Mr. Murphy made a atrong plea for
home rule for his city and moved that the
call provide for but one polling place. Mr.
Breckenrldge moved to lay tbe Murphy mo
tion oa the table, but bis motion failed to
carry and Mr. Murphy's proposition went
through.
Jndgea and Clerks Selected.
The following judges and clerks tor the
prtmarlee were then named by the ward
committeemen and approved by the whole
committee:
