GARNER VILLE, N. Y., June Z.
Marlon Clark, the 21-months-old Infant
kidnapped from her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Clark of New York city,
on May 21, was found two miles south
of Sloatsburg, a village about eight
miles from here. She was found at a
farm house of Charles Youman's, and
was in the cuetoday of Mrs. Jennie
Wilson, who took the baby to the
place during the early part of lant
week. Mrs. Wilson waa accompanied
by her husband and stated to Mrs.
Youmans that she wanted board for
the little girl for the summer. .Mrs.
MARION CLARK. .
Wilson said she had made arrange
ments with her husband to send all
correspondence to her by way of the
St. Johns poet office, which is a few
miles from Sloataburg.
Mrs. Wilson called at the St. Johns
postofflce a number of times during the
past few days, having tho child with
her. The baby attracted the country
people by her appearance, her large
blue eyes and pink complexion being
particularly noticeable. The curiosity
which the child aroused made her cap
tors grow uneasy and they kept her
closely confined at the Youmans home.
As soon as the notices of the abduc
tion reached the neighborhood the peo
plo began to sunpeet that the child was
Marion Clark. They felt positive of
It because the child wore the aame
clothes as at the time when she was
stolen.
As goon as Deputy Sheriff William H.
Charlston learned of the abduction he,
taking his clues from pictures of the
child and the descriptions given him by
people who saw her, went to the You
man farmhouse and found Mrs. Wilson,
from whom he demanded the child.
Mrs. Wilson at once became Indig
nant and claimed flhe knew nothing
whatever of the child.
Previous to going to the house the
deputy sheriff had procured a warrant
for the arrest of Mrs. Wilson for ab
duction. He procured the warrant, ar
rested the woman and demanded in
formation as to the whereabouts of the
child.
At this Mrs. Wilson weakened and
made a confession. The baby waa then
produced and the sheriff took both pris
oner, and child to Magistrate Herbert
at West Haverstraw.
Mrs. Wilson refuses to make a full
statement. She Is the ' daughter of
Mrs. J. J. McNally of Goshen, N. Y., to
whom she wrote a letter explaining her
plight.
Marlon Clark, the infunt, is in good
health and seems to be contented. She
has no hat and her 'shoes show much
rough handling. Ilr clothing Is also
much soiled. The identification Is
complete, even to the red birth mark
described in the circular issued by the
chief of police of New York.
Later Arthur Clark, the father of the
abducted baby, arrived here accom
panied by Sergeant Morris of Captain
McClusky's staff. Mr. Clark imme
diately identified the child as his lost
Marion.
WITH ITS PARENTS.
.Irthur Clnrk Reaches Home With the
Klduapcd Child.
NEW YORK, June 2. Arthur Clark,
the father of the abducted child, Mar
ion, accompanied by Chief of Police
Dcvcry and Captain McClusky arrived
in this city, bringing back the Infant
which had been missing for 12 days.
Hundreds of people were gathered
before the Clark house and the party
with the baby had to struggle through
the frantic crowd. There was contin
uous cheering from the people banked
around the carriage as it drove up to
the door and In spite of the efforts of
the police to keep the sidewalk clear,
the child was almost suffocated In the
crush of the people who were so anx
ious to get a glimpse of the baby.
A great cheer went up as Mr. Clark
emerged from the cartage bearing the
little bundle of humanity in his arms.
Hi: had to fight his way up the steps.
followed by Chief of Police Devery and
Captain McClusky.
Mr. Clark rushed up the Inner steps
and met his wife at the top. The mother
took the child in her arms und welf and
sobbed.
The crowd on the outside yelled to
see the baby and Mr. Clark held the
child up to the window so that all could
see It. This was greeted with great
cheers. Then they cried for Mrs. Clark
and the child. Mrs. Clark appeared
holding the baby In her arms. This was
more than even the least emotional
ones of the crowd could stand and they
yelled frantically: some sobbed hys
terically, some laughed nnd many
simply shouted themselves hoarse.
WILSON'S PAST RECORD.
Something About the Sinn Connected
With the Clnrk HllnnilnC.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark , June 3.-Oeorge
Beauregard Harrow, alias J. A. Wilson,
the man arrested in New York state
charged with kidnaping little Marion
Clark, is well known In Little Hock
and the news of his arrest is the n"nsa
tion of the hour. George Barrow be
longs to one of the most prominent
families in the state. His father. JuJ.;e
fife Jw
I. C. Barrow, is among the oldest and
wealthiest members of the Little Rock
bar, and his brother, John Barrow, is a
member of the Arkansas legislature
and prominent attorney at law. The
prisoner himself in a lawyer, having
been admitted to the bar in Little Rock
four or five years ago. He is about 29
years of age and well educated.
He has been In many boyish scrapes
and once or twice in serious difilculties.
About four years ago he returned after
a long absence and began the practice
of law. He sought admission to mem
bership In a local athletic and social
club, but was blackballed. A few days
later an attempt was made to blow the
club house up with dynamite and Bar
row was arrested charged with the
crime. He was acquitted and went to
New York, where he secured a salaried
position with Tammany Hall. His
movements since then are not known.
Mrs. Wilson's Past.
NEWBCRG, N. Y.. June 3.-M,rs. Wil
son In whose custody the Clark baby
was found is a daughter of Mrs. Irv
ing McNally who lives here with her
daughter, Grace. Both are factory
operatives. Mrs. McNally read of her
daughter's arrest and was prostrated
with grief. Mrs. Wilson was born here,
but at the age of 3 went to live with
her grandfather, J. J. McNally. Mrs.
McNally at Goshen received a letter
from Mrs, Wilson on Thursday post
marked Garnersville, which read as
follows: "I have been arrested in con
nection with the baby Clark case. Can
explain all. Don't worry."
KIDNAPER'S TRIALS.
An F.ffort Ilelng Made to llrlng the At
eused Parties to Trial al Oner.
NEW YORK. June 5.-The police
are busy making preparations for
the prosecution of the three prisoners
now under arrest on the charge of hav
ing kidnaped Baby Marlon Clark,
Captain McClusky will lay the matter
before the June gand jury and will ask
that indictments be found against G,
Beauregard Barrow, and his wife, at
present confined In Jail In New York
city, and against Hellu Anderson, alias
Carrie Jones, the nurse girl who stole
the baby from Central Park and who
has been confined to the Jail In Eliza
beth, N. J.
Captain McClusky will also apply to
Governor Roosevelt for requisition pa
pers upon which the Anderson woman
may be brought from New Jersey here,
It is expected that she will be safely
landed In a cell In this city not later
than Tuesday night.
Preliminary Trial.
NYACK, N. Y., June 6.-Arrange-ments
have been completed at the
North Jail for the transfer of the pris
oners. Barrow and wife, the kidnapers
of Marlon Clark, to Garnerville, for
examination. A strong guard has been
secured to accompany the piisoners, as
It Is believed there may bi some
trouble.
It is believed that the examination
will result in holding the ptisnneis and
the Rockland authorities say they will
try them In this county. The senti
ment of the taxpayers and hundreds of
others In the county grows stronger
against keeping them and It Is possible
that an emphatic expression of that
sentiment may result In changing the
course of the officials.
tipolo In the morning the Oregon reg
iment and the Ninth infantry were left
behind as a rear guard, and there was
considerable firing along their lines
In clearing tho enemy from the high
hill between their position and the
lake.
GOING 'AFTER DREYFUS.
The Frenrli Cruiser Sfax Sails Frntti
Fort do France For Devil's Island.
FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Mar
tinique, June 6. The Sfax has left here
to take Dreyfus on board. She sailed
quite unexpectedly. It was not until
4 o'clock in the afternoon that her
commander was notified to sail and the
cruiser left as soon as she could get
up steam and take on board the neces
sary provisions.
The authorities of Cayenne forsaw
four days ago that the Sfax would
leave Fort de France on her present
mission and at 2 o'clock in the after
noon the dispatch boat Geeland, sta
tioned In the waters of French Guinan,
left Cayenne, the capital, for Devil's
Island, having on board the superin
tendent of the penitentiary, and the
commander jf the marine artillery.
These oUl'-ials are delegatc-i. by the
Frenci government, to ofhclally notify
Dreyfus of the revision o;' his trial.
Drey.'us ,'ius :iir-;n ly received from
his wife a cable message announcing
the decision of the c ii'.rt ot cassation.
Dreyfus, however, wil! be undii
charges after being officially notified
of the court's action 1,1 his cms, out
he will be able to resume wearing the
military uniform of his rank, in ,,i!t r
to so appear before the new council of
war.
Paty De Clam Arretted.
PARIS, June 2. Lieutenant Colonel
Du Paty de Clam, seriously Implicated
by the recent proceeding before the
court of caseation as the probable in
stigator of Rome of the forcerles that
huve figured in the Dreyfus affair, was
placed under arrest and taken to the
Cherche Midi military prison.
The olllctr sent to arrest liii.i visited
his house thrice before he found him
and declined In give any information
as to why the arrest was made.
The Libre Purole, antl-Drcyfuslte,
publishes a letter from Du Paty de
Clam to the minister of war, M. Kraulz,
protecting against "the attacks of
which I am the victim,'' and claiming
the right to be permitted to prosecute
his raluminators or as an alternative,
asking "the favor of a trial by some
court or other."

RENEWED THE FIGHT.
Aggressive Movement Begun
In the Philippines.
.ome Pretty Severe Fighting Has Taken
Fine In Which the Rebels Were Com
pletely Rooted Tho Kntlre Morons,
Peninsula to lie Cleared of the Rebels
as Soon as Possible.
MANILA, June 6. Another aggres
sive movement has begun in the Phil
ippines, and our troops are sweep
ing the entire peninsula of Mo
rong before the rainy season sets
in, compelling a cessation of hostili
ties for three or four months. Two
battalions of the Washington troops,
under command of Colonel Whalley.
embarked on cascoes and with the
" tin-clad" army gunboats Napldan and
Covadonga, ascended the Pnslg river tc
Morong. The rebels, who were en
trenched in the outskirts of the town,
reserved their fire until the troops were
ashore and In the open. The American
artillery opened fire on the insurgent!
and drove them from their positions,
killing nine of them and wounding five.
The Washington troops then took the
town, the rebels fleeing to the hills.
While the Americans were on theii
way to Morong, the insurgents opened
fire from a shore battery at Ancona.
I their first shot striking the Covadon
ga's awning aft at a range of 3.50C
yards. The Napldan also was fired at.
While this was going on General
Hall's column moved upon the Morong
' peninsula, and completed a circuit of
20 miles, over rough and mountainous
country, having two .engagements with
the insurgents, one of them severe,
and keeping up an almost constant
fire against scattered bands of rebels
for nearly 24 hours. General still's
objective point was Antlpolo, 10 mile
off, and there was desultory firing all
along the line of march, but Just before
the town was reached the rebels were
encountered, strongly entrenched
Here a fierce battle wue fought, but
the rebels were finally driven from
their entrenchments and retreated into
the town. When our troops reached
the place our lines were immediately
thrown around on three sides of the
town, and then the final advance was
made. But It was found unneccessary
to fire a shot. Not a rebel was visible
and the town was entirely abandoned
In this fight the Americans lost only
four men three of the Fourth cavalry
and one Oregonlan. About 20 were
wounded.
OHIO REPUBLICANS.
Doings of the stale Convention Held
Columbus.
COLUMBUS. June 3. The Republi
can state convention nominated Judge
George K. Nnsh, the favorite of Sen
ator Hanna, for governor and ex-Con
gressman John A. Caldwell, the fa
vorite of George B. Cox, for lieutenant
governor, with the other five nomlna
tions distributed among those of less
distinct patry afllliations. What was
generally called the Hanna-Cox com
bination controlled a large majority ol
the 813 delegates, but It did not exer
cise Its power beyond the nominations
of Nash and Caldwell. The confer
ence, at which Senator Hanna, Mr.
Cox and others reached a mutually
satisfactory understanding, did not
conclude until 9 a. m., an hour before
the convention assembled. It was a
over then with Mr. Daugherty and
other candidates.
Guilbert and Hoffman were nomina
ted for second terms without oppnsl
tlon. When some of the delegates raised
the cry of "slate" George B. Cox him
self was the first to break the slate by
changing the S6 votes of Hamilton
county which he had cast on the first
and second ballots for Judge Hull foi
attorney general, to James M. Sheets.
Judge Hull had been generally consid
ered as a sure winner, as he had been
slated. In this case the anti-trust as
well as the anti-slate element cut quite
a figure. Judge Hull had been a candi
date for governor and when he with
drew after the first ballot It was gen
erally known among the delegates what
his withdrawal meant and especially
when his support went to Nash on the
second ballot. In addition to the at
tempt then of the field combine against
"the slate," there was opposition to the
plan of anyone being a candidate for
two places on the ticket and Judge Hull
was again defeated after a very hard
fight, which occupied more time than
any other business in the sue hours
that the convention was In session.
Isaac B. Cameron, the successful con
testant for treasurer of state was gen
erally credited with being on "the
slate" and he secured the Hanna-Cox
vote.
Hra'lan Fly Destroying the Wheal.
GENEVA, N. Y., June I. Already
about one-tenth of the wheat crop In
this section has been destroyed by the
work of the Hessian fly, one of the
worst wheat destroying Insects known.
It Is thought that within a week's lime
a much larger part of the wheat In this
section will be entirely laid to waste.

BLOW A J IHU5IS.
Report of the fiiiled Mates ImmlKran:
1 1.- p r!or.
PITTSBURG, June 2. R. D. Lay
ton, United States immigrant Inspector,
has finished his report to T. V. Pow
derly, United States immigrant com
missioner. This is the first report of its
kind that has so far been made to fhe
commissioner, and It has many Inter
esting bits of information. Inspector
Layton has paid much attention to la
blr and its conditions. During the past
month he has given the Pittsburg In
dutrial field special attention, both as
regards skilled and unskilled labor.
While there is no lack of labor, his re
port shows a Tant In both conditions.
One startling announcement is prom
inently brought to the front. The in
spector claims that agents, book
keepers nnd high-salaried men general
ly are plentiful, but few of these can
find employment on account of the for
mation of trusts, or combines, as they
are called, and that there is a warm
competition between superior and Infe
rior people to get the best that is going.
During the past month the inspector In
terviewed two persons In the employ of
concerns whose plants have since
merged Into some trust or other, with
the result that they were, thrown out of
employment. These men were receiv
ing from $t,000 to tti.Ouo a year. At the
present time they have large bills star
ing them In the face with little pros
pects of paying them. The formation
of trusts, it is asserted, is the cause of
all this poverty and inability to pro
cure work. The report as a whole is a
blow at the trust movement, which
at the present time seems to be del
sing the country.
MINERS WILl7N0T STRIKE
Amicable eetl lenient Expected to lie
Kencheii In Clearfield.
CLEARFIELD, Pa.. June 2.-E!ghty
delegates, representing the United Mine
Workers' of America, met In convention

vance of machine mining. The Beech
Creek operators were in Joint confer
ence with the miners' committee and
positively refused to grant the miners
demands of an advance upon machine
mining from one-half of the price of

rison and two-thirds for Jeffrey ma
chine. The price for pick mining has
been raised from 45 to 50 cents, an
advance of 5 cents.
For machine mining 25 cents is paid
but an advance to 28 and 31 eents, de
pending upon the style of machine used
Is demanded and the miners expect to
settle the question at their meeting on
the two-thirds and three-fifths ba
sis for machine leading. There will be
no strike.
