despatch says: Owing to
an error in telegraphing the men who were

officials say cars will be moved to -morrow if

SHOT A STOKER.
Mutiny Alleged ati a Justification . for a
Homicide. • •
A New York despatch says: The story
is told in shipping circles to -day of how
Capt. Bakker of the steamship Obdam,
which left this port on July' 18th for Rotter-
dam, two days later shot and killed one of
the coal stokers.. On his previous trip Capt.
Bakker shipped about twenty coal stokers
in Rotterdam. On thetrip over here there
was some dissatisfaction among the stokers,
but they were afraid to mutiny. When the
ship left this port, however, to return to
Rotterdam, the men grew sullen and there
were good grounds to fear a mutiny. Capt.
Bakker was told by a man named Boel that
such a move was ripe and the captain went
down into - the coal hole and warned the
men. One of the stokers picked up a fire-
znan's 'comb, a heavy iron instrument, and
made at the captain. The latter drew his
revolver and shot the man dead. The man's
name was Duzer. In Rotterdam Capt.
Bakker was placed under $10,000 bail.
Youths Who Played Desperadoes.

Wednesday two boys aged eleven and fifteen
years, armed thereselveri with revolvers and
knives and proceeded to act the • art of

from the town they saw amen named Marsh
with a team coming towards them. They
asked permission to ride, got into the.
waggon and after riding a short distance
one of the boys asked Marsh if his, horses
would rein if he .shOuld fire a revolver.
Marsh said they would. The boy then got
up and stabbed Marsh in the back with a
large butcher knife, inflicting a serious if
not fatal wound. The boys were promptly
arrested and placed in jail.

PREPARING FOR BATI'1,,E.
Balmaceda's Opponents Steal a March
Upon Kim.
LIFE ARD DEATH BTEIKICILE EXPEOTED.
Vaananeeso, Aug, - Tho hung gent
artay, numbering nearly 10,000 men, landed
yeaterdayensoranienat-Quintero-Be.y, twenty --
miles north of this city. They were brought
down from Caldera, on eight transpudee a
Tiree tuge and tourwarships. The point of
landing is fifty miles from Santiago, where
Balmaeeda's_forcee, to the. numb.es. ot-1,0,000
have been stationedj Quintero Bay is the
entrance to a feaffe valley; and is in a
direct line with Santiago and Valparaiso.
The Balmacedists have anticipated a move-
ifiefiTeibaWicifnrienaiVirs' ier&Wir
they believed Coquimbo, would be the first
place attacked. It now appears that the
hovering of the insurgent fleet iet
the • neighborhood of Coquimbo Bay
was only a scheme to deceive
Bahnaceda. By coming ste far
south the insurgents leave the targe force of
Balmacedists at Coquimbo, many miles to
te,
aid to the Government army in this neigh-
borhood. The landing at Quintero Bay
was therefore a complete surprise to the
President, but as soon as he learned the
new he acted promptly. By his command
a large force was sent north to meet the
enemy.
The Esmeralda, commanded by: Sylva
Palma, is just outside the harbor. It is
expected she will be joined at once by the
other insurgent war vessels from Quintero
Bay. It looks as if in conjunction with the
advance of the land forces upon this city
the fleet will open fire upon the forts
that defend this harbor. Unless some of
the Government gunners turn traitors it
does not ,seem likely that the fleet can
silence the forts. A fierce fight is immi-
nent. On its result depends in all likeli-
hood the complete overthrow of Balmaceda
or of his opponents. The rout of the
President's forces would undoubtedly be
quickly followed by the capture of
Valparaiso and Santiago by the, victorious
army of the insurgents.
BALMACEDA'S STRAIT.
Seizing the Treasury Sliver Bunton to Buy
War Materials.
A London cable says : The Times pub-
lishes a letter from Lisbon declaring that
President Balmaceda, of Chili, being unable
to borrow money, seized the silver bullion
in the treasury of Santiago de Chili, stored
there as security for the Fiduciary circula-
tion,- and tried to transport this silver
abroad as payment for ships and arms
ordered in gurope, Balmaceda was not
-able-to hire a private vessel to transport the -
'Silver, but he pursuaded the commander of
the Espiegle, a British ,nian-of-war, to con-
vey a million dollars tes Montevideo. The
Times says it is is Confident this was done
without the consent of the British admiralty,
adding that it seems as though a British
man-of-wer had been made the accomplice
of a downright robbery. The transaction,
the Times_ says, demands 'a full investiga-
tion.
Switchmen Working Under Arms.
A Peoria, Ill., despatch says : The men
who are taking the place of the striking
switchmen arrived yesterday, and opera -
tins were begun. Considerable excitement
was caused in the morning by the report
that three men had been killed in a fight at
the Bridge ' Junction telegraph station, in
the yard. Investigation showed that the
men were killed in 'a runaway accident, and
the strikers had nothing to do with it.
Everything is quiet, but there is a large
force of armed guards in the yards. All the
new men are provided ' with revolvers and
sworn in as deputies.
- Were the Children Murdered ?
An Irontown, Ohio, despatch says:
Hamilton and his wife went visiting yester-
day, leaving their three children, Hestie,
Edith and Erntna, aged 8, 4 and . 2 re-
speetively. When they • returned the
children were missing. After a long search
the little ones were . found cohfined in an
old tool chest, where they • had died from
suffocation. The mother is almost insane
in her grief. A stick fastened in the staple
of the chest indicates murder, and the police
are investigating the case.
A Murderer Pilled With Lead.
A Shelbyville, Ind., despatch says: City
Marshal Bruce last ni ht, while attempting
wkins, a desperate
character, who was creating a disturbance,
was fatally shot by the' latter. Hawkins
was promptly arrested and lodged in jail.
Later in the night a mob of 500 men
collected around the jail. Six of the mob
'finally gained an entrance and brought
Hawkins out, took him to e tree and hanged
him up and shot him full of bullets.
What he Wanted to Be.
New York Herald: " So you want to
get religion?"
"What do you want to be -Baptist,'
Methodist, Congregationalist, Presbyterian,
or what ?"
" To tell the trutla hadn't thought of any
of them ; 1 want to be a Christian."
A Clever Rival.
Buffalo News : hcar that yotir rival
has been successful in becoming engaged to
Miss Cuenrox," :said a- young man to his
friend.
" Yes, I did my best, but hell% more
clever than I."
" Indeed ? How was that ?"
" He knew enough to let her father'beat
him at billiards, and I didn't."
In Chicago they are telling this story on -
Sam Jones. Recently he wee addressing a
crowded audience and said : " I want every
one in this congregation who wants to go to
heaven to stand up." Of course almbst
everybody rose. Then he said: "Now, I
want everybody who wants to go to the
other place to stand up." At first no one
stood up, but finally a long and lank and
skinny individual in the back seats, about
as fat as an.umbrella -arose and said: " I
don't exactly want to go to the ether place,
but I am willing to stand lip rather than let
the preacher stand all alone."
HORRIBLE SCAFFOLD SCENE,
A Murderer's Head Almost Torn
From His Body.
YOU CAN'T SPEAK NOW,"
-But-the-Priest Pushed the Hangman Out
of the Way.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. .-John Conway, the
steamship fireman, who was convicted and
sentenced to death for the murder of the
boy Nicholas Martin, whose body was
ireeradeeenettayateifieseleatieriniWeelfli fifigitaf
in Harden dock, was hanged this morning.
As Berry, the hangman,. was drawing the
black cap over Conway's head the latter
shouted : "Hold 'on, I want to say some-
thing." Berry replied : "You can't speak
now," „and was about to pro-
ceed with the execution when the
priest in attendance hastily interposed,
h (IMIr10 'A AN • fiJoa
th onway s ant, w • e the condemned man
-in broken tones, asked forgiveness for his
sins. Only when the unfortunate wretch
had done speaking and when the priest
had replied to his plea for forgiveness, did
the latter permit the hangman to proceed.
This incident caused intense excitement
among those preeent, but it was nothing
compared to the scene which followed. In
due course of time the drop felland Conway
disappeared froin view. Immediately after-
ward the priest began to read the confession
of the hanging man, in -which
Conway said he was intoxicated
when he murdered the bey and that
his reason for taking the boy's life was that
he had morbid curiosity to observe the
process of dying. While the priest was
reading Conway's confession a sound
was, heard from the scaffold as ifla,
quantity of water was falling. Investigation
was made by the hangman and the prison
officials, and to their hornet., they found
that the sound was caused by blood
pouring' upon the prison floor from
Conway's neck..< The fall had been
so severe that the criminal's head had
been practically torn from, his body ; in
fact, the head was only held tQ the body by
the muscles of the neck. The hangman was
blamed for the bungling.

, ITAB GAMMA A TRAITOR ?
LONDON, Aug. - The long-expec ted
memoirs of Count Von Moltke are printed
to the extent of five 'columns in to -day's
Times. The Count touches very lightly
upon political matters, but confines his
attention almost,- exclusivelyto the military
details of the war of 1870. He reviews at
considerable length the incidents sur-
rounding the surrender of Metz and the
alleged traitorous conduct of Marshal
Bazaine. This disloyalty on the part of the
general, he rather accentuates than
palliates, and goes even further than this
and introduces the name of Gambetta into
the possibility of Bazaine being a part of a
political plot which had for its object the
throwing ofthe dictatorship into the hands
of Gambetta and his fellow conspirators.
Von Moltke's criticism .on the bat-
tle of Sedan, gives many facts
that will be entirely new to the
'readers of, history and gives additional,
interest to that marvellous cavalry fight.
Much space is occupied in attention to the
exploits of the then King William, and it
will probably excite some comment that
he has passed over with only a cursory
mention theconnection which Prince Bis-
marck enjoyed with the empire. Von
Moltke indulges in a lengthy discourse
concerning the general calamity following
all wars and the desirability of adopting
some method by which they can be avoided.
He compares the esprit de corp of the
Prussian army with what he regards as a
selfish indifference of the French, or ' per-
haps, more properly, their lapk of stamina
for the want of a suitable leader. The book
is written in an easy_ and therefore a terse
and pungent style, and the Times, in print-
ing these extracts from it,. pays a high
compliment to VonMoltke's literary talent.

505 To Sandy Hook290
2,778
The Teutonic arrived at the lightship at
twenty-four minutes before 2 o'clock yester-.
day morning, lopping off nearly two hours
from the five days and three-quarters' trip
of the Majestie, and bringing joy to the
hearts of those who predict that the trans-
atlantic voyage will yet be made in five days
and a half.
Captain Irving was feeling very happy
yesterday, and when I asked him if we
should have the pleasure of congratulating
him again before long, the Captain said,
modestly :. " The log shows that on the
fifth day we broke the record of day's run-
ning by making 517 miles, and I suppose we
might do that every day under the same
• conditions.
Chief Engineer Hugh Curry was no less a
happy man than his comthander. ' "If any
one gives us anything to do," said. he, "we'll
do it. The Majestic did give us something
to do and we attended to the work cut out
for uss didn't we ?"
HOW IT WAS HONE.
Engineer Curry said the average revolu-
tions of the screw were about eighty to the
minute, except on the day of the longest
run, when they went ' up to eighty-one.
The horse power was at times as high as
0,000 and from that- downeto.15e000:. The
-average- speed -per -limp -was 20. 35 -knots -or -
23.40 miles. The Teuton's coal consumption
averaged about three hundred. tons every
twenty-four hours.
The Teutonic, for the first two days out,,
had head winds, which made the prospect
for a record breaking -voyage look dis-
couraging, but after that the weather was
fair and the great runs were made. The
run of 517 miles heat the single day record
of 515 which was held by the City of Paris,
although the Majestic held the record of the
ocean trip. ,
The excitement among the passengers
over the race against time was great after the
first two days out. On. the 'fifth day out
the poppingof champagne emits greeted the
announcement of the greatest single day's
record ever made.

All told, the Teutonic carried 1,370 pee-
sengers, of which number 290 were first-
class, 180 second-class and 900 steerage.
The Teutonic'scourse tools her just 2,778

by the Majestic when she broke the record.
The Teutonic lefts Queenston at 48 min-
utes past 1 o'clock p. ne on Aug. 13th. At
five minutes past 2 o'clock the vessel
passed Daunt's Rock. From this poiht the
voyage proper began. The following are
the daily runs : , Friday 460,„ Saturday 496,
Sunday 505, Monday 510, Tuesday 517. At
1e36 o'clock this morning the noble craft had
the Sandy ° Hook light -ship abeam.
When , the voyage was completed
the Teutonic had covered 2,778 miles.
This is the fatest trip on record. The
Majestic, which previously beat the record,
Made the run he 5 days 18 hours 8 minutes.
On the first day out a strong wellterly
breese was experienced. On the second day
a fresh westerly breeze was blovring. On
Sunday the wind veered to the northwest
and blew moderately. During the remainder
of the run the vessel had high, variable
winds. The sea wassmooth nearlyall the way
across. The Teutonic brought 290 first cabin
passengers, 180 second cabin and 900 steer-
age, and Was in command of 'Capt. II T.
Irving. The run of 517 mites, on the 18th
is the fastest, time ever made in 24 hours
by any trans-Atlantic steamer, and the
runs of 505, 510 and 517 for three
consecutive days beats the record of tlie
