Methuen Captured and Released
Frightful Railroad Wreck.
Prlnco Henry sailed "for Germany oi
tne steamer ueutscniana at 3:45 p
m. Tuesday and thus ended his firtl
visit to the United States.
The day was perfect, being-warm
spring-like and sunny. The prince'f
last day In America was spent entire
ly on board the Deutschland, be hav
ing decided not to make a number ol
social calls which had been arranged
for the forenoon. He breakfasted' ai
8:30 and Immediately retired to hi,
cabin, where he spent several houri
writing letters.
About 10 o'clock he began to receive
larewell visits from members of thf
party which accompanied him aud var
ious officials of Germany in this coun
try and of the United States govern
ment.
Mr. Low was one of his latest cal
lers and the prince, in bidding hlrr
farewell, gave a hint that he bad some
Intention of returning to America foi
a second visit. The prince In replying
to the mayor said: "I thank the clti
lens of New York for all their kind
ness to me which I appreciate deeply.
If I should return to America I should
feel when I reached New York that I
waa once more at home."
Encouraged by the fine weather Im
men8e crowds had steadily gathered
about the pier during the day and
when the ship sailed all approaches
and the pier house were filled with a
crowd estimated at 10,000 people.
The Deutschlaiid's sailing time wan
3:30 p. m., but it waa 3:45 when flip
tain Albers gave the signal to start.
The crowd gave a mighty cheer and
the prince appeared on the bridge and
bowed. The Deutschland backed out
Into the North river amid the tootlnc
of vessels and all kinds of craft. As
she passed down the river she received
the same noisy ovation. She passed
the Battery exactly at 4 o'clock and
the great crowd which had gathered
there cheered as the vessel steamed
on down the bay.
Small Reserves of Wheat
Bradstreet'i report for the week
says:
; The swelling tide of spring demaud
Is reflected in the reports of excep
tional activity at leading Eastern tex
tile markets, of large distributions of
dry goods, tollhlng and kindred lines
in the West and Northwest, and by
Improved Jobbing trade reports from
such cities as St Louis and Kansas
City.
Wheat was buoyed up by the report
of the smallest reserves In farmers'
hands by the government, Bradstreet's
calculations, based on the - above.
pointing to a very small Increase In
the visible and Invisible supplies In
view of the record-breaking crops In
this country and in the world at large.
This steadied prices for a time, but
they weakened later on the report of
the' breaking of the drouth In - the
Southwest and adequate supplies of
moisture to winter wheat In other sec
tions. Corn and oats for the first time lh
a lrng while broke loose from the
premier cereal, reports of heavy rains
checking receipts aiding the govern
ment report of the smallest corn re
serves In ?0 years and limited farm
supplies of cats.
Old Lincoln Farm In Indiana.
The -ok! Lincoln farm in the heart
of Lincoln City will be sold for
delinquent taxes. For years the taxes
on the farm have not been paid and
the county officials decided to offer the
farm for salo. Attempts heretofore
have been made to turn the farm Into
park and to secure from congress an
appropriation for this purpose and
this may be done after the farm
shall pass into other hands.
The old cottage that stood on the
farm, In which Abraham Lincoln lived,
was removed to New York many years
ago and was sold for several thousand
dollars. The commissioners of Speu-
er county have received many letters
from people all over the country
wanting to buy the farm and bidders
will doubtless be numerous when the
tax sale shall be held.
The mother of Lincoln Is burled on
the farm. The burial lot is kept In
good condition by the commissioners.
The county received a deed for the
lot several years ago.
The late Governor Mount of this
state advocated turning the farm Into
a park and brought the matter to the
attention of the legislature, but noth
ing was done.
Mr. Carnegie Gives More Libraries.
Andrew Carnegie was the chief
guest ' and' principal speaker at the
seventh annual dinner of the New
York Library club. Among the other
guests w.jre 300 librarians of New
York city and vicinity.
Mr. Carnegie, on being Introduced,
plunged at once Into the subject of
libraries for rural communities and
said:
, "I have been much gratified by the
many applications of small communi
ties In the West for libraries. And in
this connection I will Bay that as I
knew I would have the pleasure of din
lng here tonlijht I felt I cught to do
something to deserve that pleasure.
I have dealt with about 40 of thso ap
plications today and am rial to say
that In all except perhaps two cases i
have seen my way to grant them."
After the dinner Mr. Carnegie was
isked for a list of the libraries he had
just endowed, but said he was unable
to give It. He said, however, that
the application for a library from Al
bany was one of them and he thought
the amount he had given was $175,000.
Mrs. Soffel Indicted.
Indictments In three cases against
Mrs. Soffel, wife of ex-Warden Sof-
le. growing out of the escape of the
Biddle brothers from Jail on Jan. 30,
were considered by the grand Jury
and true bills returned.
Should Mrs. Soffel be convicted upon
the three charges the maximum ag
gregate sentence that could be Im
posed upon her would be IS years In
prison and a fine of $2,500. The
charges are separate Indictments for
felonious assault and battery upon
Charles Reynolds and James 0. Mc-
Carey, Jail guards. Reynolds was shot
by one of the Biddies and McCarey
was thrown over or Jumped over the
railing from the cell tier and was se
riously hurt on the night of the es
cape.
It will probably be a month before
Mrs. Solfel is brought to trial.
Boston Strike Settled.
Through the united efforts of rep
resentatives of the great mercantile
bodies of Boston, seconded by the
chief executives of the city and
state, In a conference with the
recognized leaders of organized
labor, the great strike of freight
handlers and kindred trades repre
sented in the allied freight transporta
tion council was broken. Fully 20,000
men who have been idle for 'our days
returned to work.
The settlement was the result of an
expressed determination of Governor
Crane and those representing the mer
chants of Boston to bring all possible
pressure to bear upon the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad com
pany to adopt the rules In force upon
the Boston and Maine railroad forbid
ding freight handlers to unload teams
except at their own option and risk.
Frightful Railroad Wreck.
A broken rail caused a frightful
wreck on the Southern Pacific railroad
near Maxon station, 25 miles west of
Sanderson, at 3 o'clock Friday morning.
fifteen people were killed outright and
28 were more or less Injured.
All the passengers were asleep and
the shock that followed waa the first
Intimation they had of the danger.
The train was going at such a rate
of speed that the -tender and engine
landed 75 feet from where they left
the rails. The cars behind plied up
agaliist the engine, caught fire and all
were conbumed except the sleepers.
All tho Injured in the coaches Just
behind the express and baggage cars
were cremated. The people In the
sleepers were saved with the assist
ance of the uninjured passengers.
General Methuen Captured.
It was announced that after a
severe loss General Lord Methuen
and four guns had been captured by
the Boers commanded by General De
larey. The news came like a thunder
bolt to London. The extra editions of
the evening papers giving an account
of the disaster were eagerly bought
up and bitter remarks were passed on
the subject of the government's decla
ration that the war In South Africa
was over. The news came too late to
affect business on the stock exchange,
but excited curb dealings quickly fol
lowed the closing, in which South At
ricans slumped heavily.
General Methuen has since been re
leased by General Delarey and has
arrived at Klerksdorp.
Governor Altgeld Burled.
Representatives of all classes of peo
ple in the state of Illinois Joined Sun

stream of people viewed the body as
It lay In state In the public library
building.
Among those from the outside the
state who attended the funeral was W.
J. Bryan who served as one of the hon
orary pallbearers.
Threats of Kidnaping.
Repeated threats to abduct his three
children unless a ransom of $25,000
was left In a certain spot and a warn
ing that murder would follow the plac
ing of detectives on the case have
caused Alexander R. Peacock, former
first vice president and general sales
agent of the Carnegie company, to re
move his little family temporarily
from his Lexington avenue home In
Httshurg to the Holland House in
New York.
The rase was put In the hands of
detectives and It Is said the arrest of
the guilty parties Is now practically
certain.

OUTFLANKED BY BOERS.
Lord K 'c'iener G ves Particu
lars of Methuen's Defeat.
Rear Screen of Mounted Troops Over
whelmed at Dawn Two Guna Left
Unprotected, But Continued In Ac
tion Till Every Man Waa Killed.
Protecting the Wagons.
London, March 17. The war office
has received the following communi
cation from Lord Kitchener at Pre
toria:
"Lord Methuen has sent me a staff
aflicer with a dictated dispatch, from
which it appears that certain panic
ulars previously given are inaccurate.
The rear screen of mounted troopj
was rushed and overwhelmed at dawn.
There was a gap of a mile between the
ox and the mule convoys. The mount
ed supports to the rear of the screen
with General Methuen, immediately
reinforced by all the available mount
ed troops and a section of the 3Sth
battery, maintained themselves for an
hour, during which the convoys were
closing up without disorder.
"In the meanwhile two hundred In
fantry were being disposed by Lord
Methuen to resist the Boer attack,
which was outflanking the left-of the
rear guard. The Boers pressed that
attack hard, and the mounted troops
attempting to fall back on the Infantry,
got completely out of hand, carrying
away with them in the rout the bulk
of the mounted troops. Two guns of
the 38th battery were thus left unpro
tected, but continued In action until
every man, with the exception of Lieu
tenant Nesham, was hit. Lieutenant
Nesham was called on to surrender
and upon refusing to do so was
killed.
"Lord Methuen with 200 of the
Northumberland Fusiliers and two
guns of the Fourth battery, then found
himself isolated, but held on for three
hours. During this period the remain
ing Infantry, namely 100 of the Lau
cashires, with some 40 mounted men,
mostly Cape police, who had occupied
the kraal near the wagons, also con
tinued to hold out against the repeat
ed attacks of the Boers.
'By this time Lord Methuen was
wounded and the casualties were ex
ceedingly heavy amongst his men.
Their ammunition was mostly expenu
ed and the surrender was made at
about 9:30 In the morning.
"The party In the kraal still held nut
and did not give In till two guns and a
pompon were brought to bear upon
them at about 10 o'clock, making their
position untenable.
'It is confirmed that most of the
Boers wore khaki uniforms. Many
also wore our badges. Even at close
quarters they could not be distin
guished from our own men.
"It is clear the infanrty fought well
and the artillery kept up the tradi
tions of their regiment. In addition
to the 40 members of the Cape police
already mentioned, a few parties of
imperial yeomanry and Cape police
continued to hold their ground after
the panic had swept the bulk of the
mounted troops oft the field."
From other dlpntches it appears
that General Methuen was shot while
riding to bring up the mounted troops,
and that bis horse was killed. After
the surrender General Delarey rode
up and treated General Methuen with
the greatest courtesy and considera
tion. He ordered his return to Klerks
dorp under the rare of his own nep
hew and a medical officer.
According to a Klerksdorp corres
pondent of the Daily Mail the burghers
were so angry at this that a party
of them went out and brought General
Methuen back. General Delarey,
however, overruled the objection of
the burghers.
Allotment of Seneca Lands.
Washington, March 18. A delega
tion of three Seneca Indians frrm
Western New York called at the White
House and Informed the president that
their tribe did not desire representa
tion on the commission to allot their
lands. A bill Is now before congress
providing for the allotment and for
three commissioners to carry It Into
effect, one of whom must be a member
of the tribe. The delegation thought
the selection of one of their numner
to serve on the commission would re
sult only In friction. They favored
the selection of three white men In
stead of two white men and one In
dian. Governor Favors Davis Bill.
Albany, March 18. Governor Odell
last evening said that he favors the
canal appropriation bill cf Senator Da
vis which appropriates $31,500,000 for
the improvement of the Erie and
Champlain canals. He said: "The only
canal measure that I am for Is the
Davis bill. That carries Into effect the
Improvement plan I recommended to
the legislature and that Is the one
I am for."

PATRICK TRIAL
WitYiess Testified to Seeing Rice Sign
the Will In Favor of Patrick.
New York. March 18 Morris Meyer,
a lawyer and nolary, testified that he
was employed as a clerk In Patrick's
office. Patrick sent him to see Rice
on business and be was shown into
Rice's ruom by Joue3. Six months la
ter on June 30, 1900, he witnessed a
will made by Rice. Rice signed ou
each of tho four pases of the will and

tate to Patrick. Meyer said that he
likewise witnessed Hire's rlgnature to

Fifth Avenuo Trti3t company and the
safe deposit assignments, on Sept 21,
two days before Rice died.
Meyer was being cross-examined
when court adjourned.
EVANS TO RETIRE.
No Decision Reached as to the Com
missioner's Successor.
Washlnrton, March 18. There Is no
longer any doubt that within the next
few months, at the latest, Pension
Commissioner Evans will sever his
connection with the pension bureau to
accept a position from the president
which will be substantial promotion,
but which has not yet been definitely
selected. It Is well known that Mr.
Evans has the entire confidence of the
president; the latter will not consider
the question of his retirement until
position entirely satisfactory to the
commissioner has been provided.
No decision has yet been reac'ied con
corning a successor to Mr. Evans nor
will any action be taken until the
president is thoroughly convinced that
he has found a man of the same high
c haracter and sterling worth possessed
by the present commissioner In so
high a degree.

censed physician. She was a believer
In Christian Science and was visited
on Saturday by a healer who it is said
assumed full charge cf the case.
The coroner signed the retuired

of the death was heart failure arising
from Inflammation of the bowels. He
will hold an liuiue.it Wednesday to de
termine whether any one was culp
able.
