An American Baroness Kill Claim a
Lunic Estate.
OPPOSITION PKOM AX UNCLE
Jrtrs. Ida Bornekow Brimson Assisted by
Her Husband Will Engago la u Legal
Battle fur Ucr Possessions
Across the Water.
By the United Press.
New York, Jan. 8. Two interesting
persons have Just sailed from this port
for Europe. They were the Baroness
Ida liarnekow and her husband, Lieu
tenant J. M. Ilrunson. The baroness
is only 18 years of age, while her hus
band Is six years older." They are jo
ins to Berlin in quest of a fortune.
The fa ther of the baroness, who was a
titled gvntleman, dropped into the
United States some twenty years f?o
ond married Mrs. Kate Green. The is
ue of -this union was one child. The
marriage was not a happy one. and the
rhikl was placed in a convent, whore
ohe was educated. Her father returned
ito Germany, where he died, and Hlnce
that time his estate has been In litiga
tion. For a time the claims of the
bareness were not recognized, but proof
was sent to the German court. The
girl's claim to a portion of the estate
was Anally conceded, and Hhe received
some money on account. Her father.
Baron von Bamekow, was the owner
of the Isla.nd of Kuegen, and after his
death this property was sold. It Is
eald that the guardian of the baren
ess received $20,0U0 from this sale, but
most of the money was spent some
years ago. After that the girl's income
was cut short, and of late she has not
received any allowance.
When ehe married Lieutenant Brun
con the young man took hold of the af
fairs, and he has been In correspond
ence with ofllclals in Germany. He
claims that there is now duo his wife
from the baron's estate about $:!GO,000
and that this money ought to be paid
at once. The lieutenant will can y -with
Ihlm some strong letters of introduction
to officials in Berlin, and will ask the
assistance of the American consul at
that place.
lias Titled Relatives.
t The luirosos.'i claims to be the grand
daughter of the Countess von Moltke,
and when she arrives on Germon soil
Phe will look up her titled relative and
eeek her advice and assistance. As the
baroness Is a good German scholar she
dots not anticipate any trouble in mak
ing the object of her mission known in
person. It is said, however, that the
Countess von Moltke has not heretofore
taken any particular interest in her
relative's affairs. The reason given for
this Irt that the baroness was so far
away and at first she was not recog
nized as heir of Baron of Bamekow.
Lieutenant Brunson has laid out his
plans In regard to the manner in which
he Is going to make the light for the for
tune. He has enough money to last
them for a year,- so that they can live
In comfort during their stay . in Berlin.
It is expected that he will meet with
Some opposition from his wife's uncle,
a brother of the late Baron von Bat ne
kow. The uncle was exceedingly
anxious to secure the title of buron, but
the American girl stood in the way, and
tinder the laws of Germany, he could
pot inherit it from his brother while
the latter's child lived. It has been
stated that the uncle even offered
money for the title, but this was
spumed by the baroness. She cared
more for the title, It Is said, than ehe
did for the uncle's gold.
CLAY TO EDUCATE HIS WIFE.
The Aged kentuckiun Hires a Governess
for His Bride.
Cy the United Press.
Loulsvlllle, Jan. 8. General Casslus
Marcellus Clay, the "old lion of White
Hall," is carrying out his plan of edu
eating his young wife to fit her for her
new station in life. A few days ago
he engaged a governess, Miss Josie
Martin, of Munfordsvllle, who has gone
to White Hall to give Mrs. Clay lessons
In deportment, music and the ordinary
branches of learning. Mrs. Cluy is
only 15 years old and has little more
than the rudiments of an education
She has absolutely no advantages of
society, and is as ignorant of the graces
of dress and deportment as of mathe
matics or sciences. Miss Martin is ex
pected to make a finished lady of her
and Is to be paid a liberal Salary. She
is quite a young woman, but has a
fine education and some experience in
teaching. Her father, II. C. Martin, is
a well known lawyer, who was a war
comrade of General Clay.
The Clays live an utterly retired life
iit White Hall. Mrs. Clay has been
visited by none of her neighbors, and
neither she nor her nged husband quits
their massive country house. . They
have very few servants, and the young
woman has been attending to the cook
lug just as she did before her Etrange
marriage. Now that she is to be made
a lady she will hire servants and study
housekeeping. General Clay is as de-
voted to the girl as ever, and has lost
nothing of his former eccentricity. His
children tmve had nothing to do with
him, with the exception of his illegiti
mate son, Lonnle Clay, who was born
during his father's sojourn in St
Petersburg as minister to Russia.

The anthnaieilte coal committee will
meet in New York today. It is thought,
however, that noshing except an infor
mal discussion of the situation will take
place. Little progress has yet been
made In the direction of preparing a
plan for "the Improvement of the coal
trade. C
A meeting of the Trunk Lines associa
tion and the Certtral Transportation as
sociation will be held in Chicago to dis
cuss the passenger situation. This
meeting Is to take action on the work
recently done in Now York by the for
mer association.
The Lehigh Valley collieries which be
gan workon Jun.2 aftera week's suspen
sion are getting in from seven to eig'ht
hours every day now. It is expected
that a further cessation of work will
take place toward the last of the month
rendered necessary by thecutting down,
under agreement, of the amount to be
produced.
A new method of dealing with em
ployes In regard tu carrying them over
the road has been Introduced by the
New Jersey Central. Instead of Issuing
quaitterly passes a mileage book of 1,000
miles is issued to theim on remittance
of J5, good on all their lines. The new
mothod Is ilooked upon with favor by
the employes In general for it equalizes
them and gives each and every one an
opportunity of obtaining cheap rates.
Philadelphia. Jan. 8. The committee
recently appointed to Investigate and
report upon the question of the "natu
ral and proper distribution" of anthra
cite coal tonnage between the various
producing and carrying companies
have appointed the following nub-committee:
General Manager Henderson,
of the Heading Railroad company;
General Manager Say re, of the Leglgh
Valley Coal company, and General
Sales Agent Torrey, of the Delaware
and Hudson Railroad and Canal com
pany. The sub-commit tee will prepare
data to serve 'as a basis for the deliber
ations of the committee os a whole.
The Manufacturers' Record in refer
ring to the increase in southern rail
road mileage, says: "The railroad
mileage of the south from 1SS0 to 189!
has Increased from 20,012 miles to nearly
47,000 miles. In the same period the
soulh has quintupled its coal produc
tion from 6,000,000 to 20,000,000 tons; in
creased its pig Iron production from
400,000 tons a year to nearly 1,600,000
tons; the capital Invested in, cotton
mills increased from $21,900,000 to $107,
000,000; spindles Increased from 667,000
to 3,000,000: capital Invested 1n cotton
oil mills from $3,500,000 to $30,000,000;
capital invested In manufacturing In
terests advanced from $257,000,000 to
$S00,000,000; the value of manufactured
products turned out has risen from
$457,000,000 to at least $1,000,000,000.
Wilkes-Iiarre Times: "Rumors of
the Jersey Central's consideration as
to the building of their new Tamanend
branch have been in circulation for the
past few days.- Knowing ones say that
the company Is computing the cost of
constructing a new link from Penn
Hiaven to Audenrleil, to form a connec
tion with a Trcsckow branch. If the
reports are true the new link surveyed
between Tamanend and Silver Brook
will be abandoned, as the new route
will cerve for all traffic. It Is known
Hunt a corps of surveyors have sur
veyed part of the new route and on
their report, satisfactory or otherwise,
will depend the development of the
plans Just proposed. The exact distance
of the route) Is nut known. This would
make a shorter route to haul the pro
duet of the Lehigh and Wllkes-Barre
collieries, and when completed It may
cause the line to be extended to Hazle
ton." In the course of a long article narrat
ting the destitution which Is said to
exist among the miners In and around
Wllkes-Barre, a dispatch to the Phila
delphia Press says: As there Is a
light demand for coal and there Is a
big stock in market, the operators have
been unable to Increase the work and in
order to make It as general as possible
have divided lit among all their em
ployes instead of laying off a certain
number. This, of course, while it was
the best thing to do, resulted in the
crowding of the mines on the days
when there was work with such a nuni
ber of men that it' was Impossible to
supply them with enough cars. Thus a
great many of them were obliged to
stay In the mine all day and only fill
one car. A committee waited on Presi
dent Edwards, of the Kingston Coal
company, the other day nnd asked for
some relief and he Issued an order al
Jowlng the miners to work without la
borers. This Is a great aid to the min
ers, but It throws their assistants en
tirely out of work.
Ancither change has appaiiently been
made in the Lehigh Valley stockhold
ers' committee, as olrculurs bearing the
name Of Kvans R. Dick as chairman
have appeared. John N. Hutchinson
was the orlglnnl chairman of the com
mittee, but has occupied the office only
nominally since a disagreement nrose
In the committee as a result of the
Btockholdres' meeting a week ago. ' The
names of William A. Dick, John N.
Hutchinson and S. Holland Haekett
have also figured as attorneys forrecelv
ingand voting proxies against the man
agement since the resignation of George
D. McCreary. Now proxies are 'being
asked In the names of Evans R. Dick,
C. H. R. Triebels and Howard M. Van
Court, the committee appointed at the
stockholders' meeting for a special pur
pose. The circular referred to reflects
itq an exitent, the address mads by Ev
ans R. Dick at the stockholders' meet
i Ing, in which a comparison was drawn
between the condition of the Lehigh
Valley and the other dividend-paying
anthracite coal roads.

NDIANA OUTLAWS ESCAPE
The Kidnapers of Ray Thornton Elude
Their Pursuers.
RUNNING FIGHT IN A THICKET
Tho Bundlts Are Discovered Two Miles
North of Tholr Rendezvous but Flee
Beforo the Posse Stolen Goods
Aro Recovered.
By the United Press.
Lebanon, Ind., Jan. 8. The excite
ment occasioned by the kidnaping of
the 6-year-old son of Charles G. W ick-
ham, of Thorntown, and his rescue
from his captors who turned out to be
an organized gang of bandits, eight In
number, Who have been a terror to this
community for 'many months, Is still
ntense. About 5 o'clock Monday even
ng the posse of officers who were In
pursuit of the fleeing outlaws came
upon them In a dense thicket two miles
north of their rendezvous. Tho bandits
at once took to their heels and a run
ning light ensued, during which a num
ber of shots were exchanged, and
though the officers are certain all of
them could not have escaped unscathed
no ono was killed and the villains were
soon lost In the brush. All night long
tho officers, who had been re-lnforced
by at least fifty men and boys from this
olty, kept up their search, but the Vil
nius -were evidently more familiar with
the ground than their pursuers and es
caped. Yesterday morning the chase
was resumed with renewed vigor, but in
vain, for no trace of the fugitives could
be found. It Is supposed they made
their way out of the country during
the night, and when daylight dawned
were many miles away from the scene
of their fight of last night.
Hundreds of excited people visited
the cave on Sugar Creek, which has
sheltered the gang for the past few
months. A largo amount of stolen prop
erty was found, as well as evidence of
graver crimes. About three weeks ago
Jackson Bales, a wealthy farmer, living
two miles east of here, came to Leba
non and sold some hogs, receiving
about $200 in cash. He left for home
at dark, and has never been seen or
heard from since, and It was generally
supposed he had left with a well-
known woman of this place with whom
he was suspected of being intimate,
and who had disappeared a few days
previous. It Is almost certain now that
the unfortunate farmer was murdered
for his money, as the Jiat he wore
when last seen was found In the woods
near the cave this afternoon. If ar
rested, the outlaws will receive little
mercy, and It Is quite possible they will
be tried before Judge Lynch, as the
people are worked up to a state of ex
citement little short of frenzy.
FOUND IN A MOTTLE.
A Strange Will Case in the San Francisco
Probute Court,
By the United Press.
San Francisco, Jan. 8. A will Just
filed for probate, leaving the estate of

a letter to a daughter by her first hus
band, and has just been found.

of the Japanese upon Soumen-Chang,
the town wus set on fire and destroyed,
rendering 10,000 inhabitants homeless In

to our
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
10 ns tlmt they will' this vcur hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tako
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully thrca
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling hna
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour fur above other
