ta bs tba captor of John Brown, the hls
tsrle Kansas character whose anti-slavery
peratlona fif 17 Tears ago were) ona - of
train y forces which led up to the civil war.
Mr. n:kwn was born In 1IK1. settled In
Weston. Ho, and was the original owner
f the ait on which Atchison. Kan., la
oow btillt. Hh story of the capture of John
J?rown la taken from the New York Inde
pendent, aa follows:
Mrmt pple have heard "John Brown's
Body" sung, but very few hare any Idea
about John Brown. At the time when I
took him prisoner. In UT.7, feeling ran hUrh
In connection with the border ruffian war,
a It waa termed, which concerned Itaelt
with the question of the admission of Kan
sas aa a slave state. I waa living In Mis
souri, opprerite Kansas, at the time. Mis
souri, being a slave state, and bounding
. Kanaaa on the east, waa anxious that It
Should be a slave state also. But the civil
war settled all that soon after.
About that time .John Brown, who had
already become a conspicuous anti-slavery
" agitator In the east, got up a company of
young men and came to Kansas and lo
cated at Lawrence, on the Kanaaa river.
Ilia followers themselves acknowledged that
tie was a fanatic, crazy on the subject of
(lavery, and willing to forfeit his life for
he negro. Brown outfitted his young men
as agents for selling sewing machines,
books, etc., and sent them across Into
Missouri. They walked around the country,
and wherever they found opportunity, told
the slaves that, if they would come to the
Missouri river at night, some of their party
would meet them and get them across Into
Kansas, where the people of Missouri dared
not come. .Borne welcomed this direction
and were taken over the border.
Movable Property.
At that trme my partner owned a val
uable negro, whom we called "Dick," to
gether with his wife and three children.
My partner turned him over to me as so
much property at $2,700. Dick waa quite a
musician. Their owners always gave tlio
Slaves thHr time at Christmas and New
Tear's, and they had for their own what
ever money they could earn during that
Season. Dick found that by going to Leav
enworth. Kan., he could find a few days'
occupation aa a musician. I passed him
ever. But when the holidays had expired he
did not return. In three months I found
that John Brown had htm In his corrVl at
Lawrence. When he had fifteen or twenty
such he would take them by night 300
miles to Council Bluffs, and thence by rail
to. Chicago and Canada, this route being
known as "the underground railway." At
this lime he hod already gotten about 100
tjcgroee through to Canada.
One old negro, to whom John Brown's
traveling agents had given the countersign,
turned traitor, and revealed the secret to
his master. Then some of the bonder ruf
fians colored their faces and gave the
countersign one night at the river crossing;
and when the men came over for them they
Vetzed them and marched them up a hill on

some property belonging to mo and hanged
them. When 1 went out the next morning
I saw them suspended from a tree.
John Brown always kept back in the
dark and did his work through his men.
Dlok did not get started very soon, be
oaum they did not have enough negroes for
the expedition The postmaster at Weston,
Mo., wrote to me that Dick was at Law
rence and waa to be taken In a tew days to
CswiauSa. They were grttuj to start on a
oertaln day, so as to reach a noted spring
by a certain time. I got four other men to
oo-opxrats with me, one of them John
Woods, noted for his fighting qualities, and
we planned that when they osune to the
spring ws should take them prisoners. If
prsMlble, and at least capture Dick, whom
wife and children were about crazy over his
Iotst absenoe. From our place there waa
a ferry crossing to Fort Leavenworth. We
made arrangements with the ferryboat cap
tain to wait and take us back Into Missouri
that night.
Caaght at the prtasr.
The country was prairie and barren of
trees, but around the spring there were
bushes where we secreted the horses and
ourselves. We had not been long In con
cealment when we saw three covered wag
ons, prairie schooners, coming; and these
all stopped at the spring. Soon who
should appear but Dick, sent down to the
spring with two palls for water.
'That is Dick," I said.
"Are you afraid to speak to him?"
"No," I answered; and then, advancing a
little, I said, "Ilello, Dick."
"Hello. Mas'r Rockwell."
"Do you want to go back to wife and
children?" I asked, "or to go with John
Brown T Tou can do as you like," though
I had no idea of letting him go.
"I want to go back home," he answered.
"All right." I said. "Who Is up there In
those wagons T"
"John Brown and sons, his son-in-law
and others, about sixteen men."
"Are they armed?" I inquired.
"John Brown has a pistol," said Dick;
"but I think no others are armed."
We sjr on our horses and rode right up
and found John Brown driving one of the
wagons. He held up his hands at our de
mand and gave up his pistol. The rest read
ily submitted to our show of force, and be
fore 10 p. m. we put John Brown on one of
our horses and. while I rode by his aide,
drove to the ferry. To our astonishment
not one of the slaves tried to get sway or
made any complaint. As for Brown, all that
he seemed afraid of was that he would be
lynched. Once across the river and In Wes
ton, we found that the crowd had a stake
driven and a Are made ready to burn htm.
Saved by a Speech.
One-half of the population were Germans,
and they were union men, whose sentiments
somewhat offset those of the rest of the
people. John Brown begged hard and said
that he was willing to be punished by the
law if we wi'uld only not let the mob do
him violence. We kept a guard over him
In the hotel over night In the morning he
wanted to make a speech In the public
hall. ' The news went all around arid men
came in from the country for their negroes
whom they had lost. I made all agree that
not one of the negroes should be abused
or punished on being token back. Aa for
Dick, he cheerfully went bock to his family
and his work. The multitude gathered in
the hall and John Brown made his speech,
and at the opening, If you could have let
those men loose whose negroes he had kept,
they would havo devoured him. He had
ruined many and many a farmer there,
whose only means of support w&s their ne
groes and what they earned. It was like
running a farm with no horses to try to do
the sams with no slaves. So when this tall,
dark complexlorted, coarse featured man,
looking like a regular old farmer, at bist
stood before them to begin his address, they
wmuld have voted, to a man, to hang him.
But when he had finished speaking, and
the vote was taken as to whether to take
him to St. Jo and leave him In jail till he
could be tried by the law, there was not a
single vote for lynching.
The Rescue.
In Kansas they knew what we were doing
all the time. Men went upon the west side
of the river as far as St. Jo and crossed
over above the city where we had him In
Jail. Procuring horses, three of them rode
at 11 p. m. to the jail, and having placed
handcuffs on the wrists of one of their num
ber, and a second representing himself as
sheriff of Holt county, they applied to the
jailer for safekeeping for this pretended
notorious horsethlef. The Jailer readily ad
mitted them and was about to lead the way
to a cell when to hts own wrists the hand
cuffs were dexterously transferred, and the
three men called out, "John Brown!" The
abolitionist answered from his cell. Whence
he was Immediately released and hustled
over the river into Kansas.
John Brown did not remain In Kansas,
but the next that we heard of him was at
Harper's Ferry, where he performed his
most famous exploit, October 16, 1869, In
capturing the arsenal, for which he waa
hanged at Charlestown, December I follow
ing. His body lies on his old farm In the
Adlrondacks, near Baranac lake, at North
Elba, once the Mecca of the fugitive slave.
In those earlier days when the old hero
made his brave attempt at founding a negro
republic.
FIRE FIGHTER TOO ZEALOUS
FrcBehsnam Goes to Prlsoa for Life
for Setting Fires at
Grenoble.
PARTS. March a-i(8peclaljy A fireman
named Pierre Ooncon, aged 26, has Just
been sentenced at Grenoble to penal servi
tude for life for Incendiarism. Ooncon was
trumpeter to the Echerolles Are brigade
and showed extraordinary seal In hia duties.
No sooner did a fire break out than he
appeared on the street, blowing loudly his
clarion to summon the members of the
brigade.
The firemen had reason to believe that
they were called out a little too frequently.
On two or three occasions It was found
that the trumpeter had sounded the alarm
even before the firs had actually broken
out. Aa no fewer than thirty fires broke
out In the little town In two months, Oon
con was arrested, but waa discharged for
lack of evidence.
Instead of taking the lesson to heart,
however, Oonson was discovered one even
ing throwing lighted matches Into a barn
full of bay. Under his blouse be had se-
i.-tiu his trumpet, ready to run out and
sound the alarm. The populace tried to
lynch him.
In his defense Ooncon said that he had
set fire to the barn merely to prove his
seal as a fire fighter.

ROME. March ffl. 8perfsJ.) Antonio
Bellocosla, a bandit, who waa the pride of
Corsica, has Just died at the age of SI of
Influence. This has been his third time of
dying. Twice before he revived, but now
he Is said to be really and truly dead.
Borne, on the other hand, affect to believe
that he died In reality many years ago
and that he was successively Impersonated
by various old Coreicans with an eye to
business. Anyhow he was or Is a delicious
old bandit and Corsica could not have done
without him. Ancient history says he took
to the bush of the wild isle towards 1818
after having attempted to murder a mere
publlo attorney. Two years later he shot
a rival who presumed to court one of his
lady loves, and in due course of time he
brought down two or three gendarmes with
his fowling piece. These were the mere
dry bones of his picturesque career. The
real man was revealed In hts beautiful at
titude. For forty-four years he lived
with his tribe In the woods and hills above
ocogano, a delightful life of brigandage.
Police and troops were sent at Intervals
to capture him, but always strangely
failed. In the early days of his career he
used to shoot and shoot straight, too, at
his pursuers, but after a time such exag
gerated realism was dropped by common
consent. The gendarmes, of course, con
tinued to pursue htm once a year, but made
no unfair attempts to corner him. On his
part he played the game also, and never
gave the show away by wandering Into a
police camp when even a Corslcan Imagina
tion would have lost faith In him.
Twenty Years of Sport.
For twonty years the sport was kept up
on both sides. After all, the gendarmes
were fellow Corslcans and were not going
to damage the island's reputation.
Bellacoscla was a valuable asset. Tour
ists, some illustrious, visited him In fear
and trembling, with guides who played
upon their nerves with horrid tales as they
climbed to his eyrie. A princess of Baxe
Melnlngen had an audience with the king
of the Corslcan brigands and presented
him with a gold watch. Baron Haussmann
was another distinguished visitor and gave
him a Sevres porcelain vase. M. Emmanuel
Arene. deputy. Introduced Edmond About,
the novelist, to Bellasocla, who received
him royally and held a "vin d'honneur" to
pay respect to the author of the "Rol des
Montagnes," bestowing on him a knife,
which, of course, was supposed to have
pierced several base traitors' hearts.
"When you use It on your foes," said
Bellacoscla to the thrilled About, "leave It
not In the wound, for the handle bears my
name." Ordinary tourists In later years
were received by Bellacoscla and his
banditti, as times were growing hard. The
chief himself. In black velvet and with
long, snowy beard and hair, would only
bow gravely and look with his velvety black
eyes, but his lieutenants were always ready
with a tale of blood and vengeance. A
silver coin was the usual fee placed In the
palm that held the knife. A more generous
tip brought forth story No. 2, which was
usually a better and gorier one. On leav
ing the visitor was presented with a safe
conduct, which, of - course, was utterly
needless, but which looked well.
Bellacoscla himself occasionally came
down from his fastnesses and once dined
with the prefect, who did not know, or
else pretended not to know, who he was.
Of course, Corslcan hospitality Is sacred,
and Bellacoscla departed safely. The gend
armes, aa a matter of fact, never went to
look for him anywhere unless they were
quite sure he was somewhere else.
Bandit Attends Court.
One day In 1892 he came down and desired
to be tried in the assize court. But he
knew well enough that his bag of gen- i
darmes had been secured some thirty years
before and that after a certain time crim
inal prosecution lapses under the law. He
was solemnly reminded of various sen
tences passed on htm by default, one to a
term of hard labor In 1851 and three to
death In 1834, 1S65 and 1877, successively,
and then was duly acquitted. However, he
was requested to leave his native isle of
Corsica on a pension of S500. He remained
on the mainland for some time, but he
yearned for Corsica, and Corsica appar
ently could not spare him, for he was al
lowed to return and end his days an hon- j
ored bandit. He was still supposed to be
an outlaw, but It would have fared 111 with
the policeman who dared to touch a hair
of his hoary head. Of course, the gen
darmes never thought of any such a thing.
On the contrary, they were delighted when
he unbent, as he did now and then, and
took a hand with cards over a bottle of
Island wine at an Inn In the village of
Bocacnano. Antonio Bellacoscla, among
other privileges, waa allowed three wives,
having with Impunity married three sis
ters, who all lived with him. They bore
him eight children and he leaves seventy
grandchildren. Two of his daughters were
even officially Introduced at one time to
President Garnot of France. Whether one
of his sons will succeed him In the bandit
business is doubtful. They say that all
of the good old institutions, even In Cor
sica, are dying out
Italians Sell Paintings.
A well known Italian family who owned a
valuable collection of portraits by Van-
dyck is stated to have been offered by the
director of a museum in one of the Euro
pean capitals $100,000 for seven of the pic
ture a This offer is said to have been de
clined, but a subsequent bid of SIUO.000 by
an American millionaire is reported to have
been accepted. Having been Informed of
this, the government wired to the local
authorities Instructing them to prevent the
fulfillment of the contract, and the owners
of the pictures will. It is asserted, have
to answer before the proper tribunal for
selling art treasures without making the
necessary declaration.
In fact reports of the sale of several
paintings by Vaiulyck to Mr. J. Pierpont
Morgan have caused wide-spread Interest
throughout various Italian cities. Several
prominent Roman picture collectors have
suggested the organization of a new "holy
alliance" of all European art amateurs
which would take the necessary steps to
prevent the exodus of the great muster
pieces of the past to America. Only too
many of these have already crossed the At
lantic. It is argued, and It is hoped that
the European governments will give the
proposed alliance the necessary moral and
even financial support so as to prevent the
finest works of the great masters leaving
the old world.
The visit of Prof, de Martens to Rome
aroused great Interest because of the mul
tiplicity of his missions at the Holy City.
He discussed the program of The Hague
conference not only with the Italian gov
ernment, but also with Spain, who dele
gated for the purpose the' duke of Arcos,
Spanish ambassador to the Quliinal, and
with Mr. White, the ambassador of the
United States In accordance with Instruc
tloivs received from the minister of foreign
affairs, the Spanish ambassador, on be

tain that those documents for years played
an important role In European diplomacy.
As nearly as can be made out they were
a series of confidential letters supposed to
have been written by Prince Bismarck to
a German ambassador at a European
court. In which the chancellor explained
Germany's secret designs on the Balkans,
secret designs which were Just the con
trary of Its public policy.
These letters came Into the hands of the
empress of Russia. As a Dane she had
never forgiven Prince Bismarck for the
Bchleswlg-Holstetn war, and she was un
doubtedly only too glad to believe that
he was playing a double game. The cxar
also believed the documents to be genuine
and this belief It was that gave rise to the
new Russian foreign policy, which cul
minated In the Franco-Prussian alliance.
In spit of Alexander Ill's pro-German
sympathies (his love and respect for the
old Emperor William had been boundless)
his conviction of the perfidy of Prince Bis
marck caused him to do all In his power
to avoid close relations with Germany.
In 1887 the cxar, much against his will,
paid a visit to Berlin and there occurred a
historic and dramatic scene at the Russian
embassy, which did much to change the
destinies of Europe. Prince Bismarck as
tmnertal chancellor had of course to pay
a formal visit to the Russian imperial
guest. He was coldly received at nrst.
Then In the course of a conversation the
Cxar lost all command ef himself in
presence of what he regarded as the
hypocrisy and duplicity of the German
iiinnian and he burst out on him with
reproaches for the double game he was
playing. In order to convict him he
produced the famous documents and then
the House of Cards collapsed. In five min
utes Prince Blsmsrck convinced Alexander
III that they were Impudent forgeries and
the whole lntrusue so laborouslv built ut
crumbled to pieces. The curious thing was
thst from that moment no statesman stooa
higher in the confidence of the cxar than
the Iron chancellor and though this did
not prevent the entente with France from
becoming closer It never as long as Prince
Bismarck waa In power reached a hard
and fast alliance.
Another famous forgery connected with
Bismarck Is recalled. About a score of
years ago M. Alfred Edwards was pro
prietor of the "Matin." One day a man

Made In Forty Days.
Discomforts at
Minimum.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 23.-(Special.)
To be able to enter a train at Charing
Cross, London, and go to Vladivostok with
out changing carriages is one of the allur
ing posjlbllltles of the channel tunnel
scheme from a world travelers point of
view. t
Interviewed upon the subject Manager
Snow of the International Sleeping Car
company said:
"When the tunnel Is built under the
English channel tho Transslberlan ex
press will start from London Instead of
from Moscow as It does at present. In
those days which may be not far ahead it
will be possible to make a world tour via
the Transslberlan railway, Dalny, Yoku
homa, Quebec and Liverpool In about
thirty-five days.
"With the Vladivostok express running
to and from Charing Cross travelers be
tween the eastern states of America and
the far east will probably prefer to land
In England Instead of taking a German
boat from New York to Hamburg as some
of them do at present. Ixjridun would thus
stand to gain as the western terminus cf
the longest line of railway In the world
The far east would be a fortnight's ride
from London.
"Even at present It Is possible Journey
ing across Asia In the luxurious trains of
the Transslberlan express to make a world
tour In forty-one days, given the best ex
isting conditions.

m. on Monday to catch the Trans-
Siberian express, which leaves Moscow at
10:30 p. m. on Wednesday and to arrive at
Vladivostok at 11:21 a. m. on the following
Tuesday week," Mr. Snow explained.
"There are ordinary trains twice a week,
bu the Transslberlan express which leaves.
Moscow every Wednesday night is the train
by which travelers for ths far east go. It
is unsurpassed for comfort by any other
train In the world.
"It Is composed exclusively of dining
cars, smoking cars, sleeping cars and bath.
Ing cars. There Is always a hot water
supply for hatha Ths train Includes a
barber's shop, a cafe depot In which every
passenger has his private safe. There Is
also a gymnasium, a special feature of
which is the provision for bicycles (of tbs
home trainer type) on which passengers
may stretch their legs and exercise.
"There Is also a smoking car for ladles
as well as for men and the samovar for
the making of tea is always going. Tbs
train Is lighted by electricity, each cai
having Its own accumulators, which an
automatically filled by Stone's patent, bj
which the curront Is created by the wheeli
of the train as they revolve.
"The dining arrangements are like thoai
of a first-class hotel. The cooks an
French and the attendants speak sverj
European language.
"All the windows are double to keep out
the Siberian cold and each car has Its owl
hot water stove. The temperature Is thui
kept st a desirable level all the way front
Moscow to Vladivostok, and the travellel
experiences no discomforts from the faci
that he Is crossing Siberia.
"We are so Impressed with the possibili
ties of Transslberlan travel that we are
arranging to issue circular world tickets,
the minimum price of which will be about
$)9.
"By combining the Canadian Pacific com
pany's quick service to the far east with
the Transslberlan route home it is possi
ble now to make a world tour In forty
one days.
"The section of the tour between Yoko
hama or Nagasaskl and Vladivostok Is the
only one on which there is no quick service,
but the opening of the Harhln-Dalny line
Is Intended to establish a service of fast
steamers between Dalny and Japan. Then
the tour would occupy less than forty days
for those who wish to hurry."
