FOUL PLAY IS SUSPEGTED.
It Is Believed by Friends of the Miss-
iii’g Man York That He
Has Been Lurml to Death
the Money He Had with Him.
In ' New
for
WEST CHESTER, Pa, Oct. 3.—The dark
mystery that enshrouds the disappearance
of R. Jones Monaghan, the missing law-
yer of the Chester county bar, is intensi-
fied by the fact that his family deny that
he was seen in Philadelphia Friday of last
week. His uncle, R. R. Mopaghan, was
mistaken for him. There is. one slight ray
of hope. It came from James M onagban,
a brother, and read as follows, “John Mc.
ue, foreman, Jersey Central railroad, says
he saw Jones crossing Jersey City ferry on
Monday afternoon, apparently demented.”
Be the clew reliable or not, it has served to
awaken fast faltering hope in the minds
of many, and several other of his friends
will leave here for New York to assist in
the arduous work attending the search.
The $1,000 drawn by him on a note at the
National bank of Chester county a few
minutes prior to his leaving here with the
finding of his satchel in his unoccupied
room in the Gilsey '
House, in N e w
York, are the dark
s po t s in t h e
strange order of
things, which tend
to lead to suspi-
cion of either foul
play or that he has
gone on a trip—
where, no one can
even surmise. If ._-
anything of a
doubtful charac— -
ter was to be ‘
found in any de- R. JONES MONAGIIAN.
partment of his business affairs the latter
theory would prevail, and yet such a step
would be entirely in opposition to his past
years of prominence in this county, where
he has resided for over twenty-five years.
His wife bears up under the mental
strain with great fortitude and resigna-
tion, but this is reached through the hope
that he will early be found and restored to
her. Her physician visits her twice a day,
and she is surrounded by friends, who as-
sist each other in helping her to look upon
the bright side of the sad affair, but it is
evident that this terrible mental strain
must soon cause a break.
Mr. Monaghan’s Career.
Mr. Monaghan has been a practitioner
at this bar since 1874. During the inter.
vening years he has held offices of public
trust in a local sense and several times was
the nominee of his party for several offices
within the gift of his people. He was a
student at law under his uncle, R. Emmet
Monaghan, who is well known throughout
the state. His parents are also residents
here, and are bowed with grief at this sud-
den disappearance of their son.
It is said in New York that when Mr.
Monaghan was at the telegraph office
where he telegraphed his message last
week, telling his law partner that he
would be delayed a few hours on his re-
turn home, he was accompanied by a
strange man of youthful appearance and
of gentlemanly mien. Who that man was
is what cannot be ascertained, but the de-
tectives are doing their best to find him.
If he is found, the way would seem clear
to the key of the mysterious gloom which
is now so impenetrable. He may have
been afriend. He may now be his mur-
derer.
A telegram has been sent to Spokane
Falls, where he has considerable interest
in land values centred, as it has been sug-
gested that he possibly may, while in a. de-
mented condition, have drifted in that
direction. He has not had time to reach
there as yet.
Confident of Foul Play.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—Colone1 R. Wayne
Wilson, who has known Mr. Monaghan ina
timately for years, is impressed with the be-
lief that his friend has met with foul play.
“I am positive,” Colonel Wilson told a re‘
porter, “that Mr. Monaghan is not missing
of his own accord. It seems strange that
such a prominent man should disappear
in New York in this mysterious manner
without a trace of him being found. Mr.
Monaghan had few friends in New York,
and if he had been convivially inclined
some of us would have met him. If noth-
ing had happened to him I am sure he
would have called upon me. Not one of
his friends has seen him. Mr. Monaghan
takes a drink when he feels like it, but he
never drinks alone. If he had been drink-
ing at all he would have gone to some
place where he could find friends—at the
Southern society’s house or somewhere
else. He has not been to any of the places
where he could meet friends.
“I think he has fallen into the hands of
thieves and maybe murderers. We have
searched nearly all the hospitals where he
might be taken if an accident had befallen
him, but can find no trace. He has never
left home without advising his wife of his
intention and letting her know when he
would return. Whenever he was delayed
he immediately informed her. There is no
doubt in my mind that he is restrained of
gis liberty by force, if he is still living.
e is a sociable man and readily enters
into conversation with strangers. Some
‘steerer’ may have accosted him and lured
him to some dive, where he was probably
assaulted and robbed. He usually carried
considerable money about his person. It
is certainly a strange case. This talk about
his being on a sp'ree is preposterous.”
A W'ealthy liIan’s Son at Forger.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8.—Forgeries against the
International Packing company that may
reach $10,000 and involve the son of a
wealthy and influential citizen of Engle—
wood, who is exerting every artifice to
effect a compromise, have just come to
light. Detective Madden said to a reporter
that a number of persons were involved in
the forgeries. He admitted that he knew
the name of the leader and that he was the
son of wealthy parents at Euglewood, but
he would not furnish the name for publi-
cation.
Killed in a. Collision.
DAYTON, 0., Oct. 3.—A Big Four work-
ing train crashed into a hand car at Car-
rolton station, six miles south of here, and
Samuel Morris, conductor, of Miamisburg,
0., was instantly killed, and all of the
crew of seven men whp were with him in
the caboose, were injured, several serious-
ly. The conductor’s‘ body was taken to
Miamisburg, and the injured were brought
here and placed in St. Elizabeth’s Hos
'pital.
JAY GOULD'S CONDITION.
Conflicting Reports About. the Health on
the Wall Street Magnate.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—A1arming reports
ublished concerning Jay Gould’s health
ad it that at the meeting of the Missouri
Pacific directors Wednesday Mr. Gould
broke down, became incoherent in his uta
terances and suddenly burst into tears.
he attack, it was declared, was of an
hysterical character, to ’which he was lia~
ble, and resulted from an extreme mental
strain and imperfect digestion. It was
also asserted that Mr. Gould had been
similarly affected at a. meeting of the Un-
ion Pacific directors 9. week or ten days
ago.
At Mr. Gould’s office in the Western
Union building Friday it was stated that
Mr. Gould was at Irvington. Regarding
the story of Mr. Gould’s ill health it was
said that Mr. Gould had been at his office
every day this week until Friday, and that
he was there when there was no special ne«
cessity for his being there. This, it was
claimed, did not look as if he was very ill.
Notwithstanding that statement, how-
ever, it was learned by a reporter that the
story of Mr. Gould having been attacked
while at the Missouri Pacific meetingis
substantially true. It is stated on the au-
thority of one of directors who was pres-'
cut at the meeting that Mr. Gould broke
down completely, “went to pieces,” as he
expressed it, and had a hysterical fit oi
weeping while explaining the situation of
the company to his fellow directors.
CIVIL WAR IN TANNA.
Two Villages \Viped Out by the Strife
and a Cyclone Sweeps the Island.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.— Advices by
steamship Monowaii say that the island
of Tanna has been visited by ahuricane
and devastated by a civil war. Fierce
fighting is now going on, and two villages
have been wiped out of existence. In the
midst of the fighting came the fearful
hurricane. The German ship J. W. Gil-
dermersten was wrecked in Dianirua bay.
The cutter Hilda was driven ashore, and a
canoe containing nineteen natives lost.
Tanna is one of the principal islands in
the New Hebrides group in the Pacific
ocean, north of New Caledonia and west
of the islands of the Feejees group. There
are 10,000 inhabitants of the island of Tan-
na, who belong to the Papuan race. The
island is eight miles broad and eighteen in
length. ‘
Three Men Instantly Killed.
LEOMINSTER, Mass, Oct. 3.—Fred Mil-
ler, a slater, of Grafton; Simon Warden,.a
stable keeper; George Quint, a barber, and
J. Frank Gallagher, a barber, were re-
turning from the Pepperell cattle show in
a. two seated carriage drawn by a span of
horses. As they approached a railroad
crossing the gateman waved his red lan
tern to warn them of the approach 01
a train, but the horses became frightened,
and, running away, dashed upon the track
directly in the face of the engine. Gal-
lagher, seeing the danger, managed to
jump from the wagon and escaped un-
hurt, but the other three men were killed
instantly, as was one of the horses. The
victims were terribly disfigured and their
remains were taken to Shirley Station.
Hanged by Masked Men.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 3.——Masked
white men visited the house of John
Brown, a well to do negro farmer, near
Childersburg, Ala, and carried him off on
a pretext that they were officers and had a
warrant for his arrest. Brown’s body was
afterward found in a creek with arope
around his neck. He had been hanged to
a bridge, and when dead the body had
been cut down and thrown in the water.
N 0 cause for the deed is known excepting
that Brown was a witness against two
white men charged with burning a barn.
Serious Row at a Circus.
TENNESSEE, Ills., Oct. 3.—At E. C. Rog-
ers’ show an employee got into a row with
Allan James. James stabbed the show
man, who will die. The attaches of the
circus would have lynched James but for
the interference of citizens, who rescued
the man and locked him up. The sherifi
will endeavor to bring the prisoner to Ma.
comb, but the showmen swear they will
never allow James to leave the place alive.
Sioux City’s Corn Palace.
SIOUX CITY, 1a., Oct. 3.—The fifth an
nual Sioux City corn palace was opened
with impressive ceremonies. Owing to a
severe rainstorm the street parade and
elaborate out of door exercises planned
for the occasion were postponed. The
corn palace has been built and adorned on
a scale far surpassing all previous designs.
Attempted Murder and Suicide.
FREMONT, 0., Oct. 3.——Joseph Hobe, a
German, from Toledo, made an attempt to
murder his wife, who had left him and
was living in this city. He then shot him-
self through the head with a. revolver and
died almost instantly. Mrs. Hobe was
not seriously injured, the bullet cutting
through the forefinger of her right hand.
Disappeared After the Failure.
PARIS, 1115., Oct. 3.——The Standiford
Bros.’ bank failure at Chrisman is get
ting worse. The depositors will lose
everything they had in the bank, and there
is a. long list of them. One farmer alone
loses $15,000. The’Standifords have disap-
peared, and it is alleged that they took
$75,000 With them when they left.
Spain' Wants Satisfaction.
MADRID, Oct. 3.—Moorish tribesmen at-
tacked a Spanish fort at Cablerizas, near
Melitlla, Africa. The fort replied with
cannon and musketry. The fighting lasted
for three hours, when the Moors retired.
The Spanish government has made a. de
mand upon the sultan of Morocco for
reparation.
Monbars Breaks His Own Record.
RICHMOND, 1nd, Oct. 3.—Monbars made

The Uprising Quickly Subdued and

’TWAS A WAR AMONG CHIEFS
[he Ringleaders Arrested and Impris-
oned—Malaafa Is Still Treated as King
and He Is Inclined to Be Restless.
A Mixed State of Afl‘airs.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.—Advices from
Apia, Samoa, under date of Sept. 16 say:
Natives on the island of Monona have
been trying for some time to upset the
present government, and a. few weeks ago
some of the chiefs who expressed their in-
tention of going to Mulinuu to join the
government had their houses pulled down
and their plantations destroyed by order
of the other chiefs. As soon as news of
the outrage was received here Baron Von
Senft, president of the municipal council,
who is also adviser to the king, and United
States Vice Consul Blacklock went to
Monona on the United States steamer
Iroquois, arrested, tried and found them
guilty, and sentenced them to six months’
imprisonment. '
The people of Manona at first threat-
ened to rebel, but afterward returned to
their islands, promising to obey the gov-
ernment. No further trouble is feared.
In order to frustrate any attempt at
rescue, the prisoners were taken to Union
Gasut, about 300 miles from here. The
natives say that this action savors strong-
ly of the methods of ex-Consul Brandcie,
of Germany. The chief justice is absent
on a trip to Sydney, having left just be-
fore the trouble started, against the
wishes of the king and government and
with the disapproval of the consuls.
hiatuufu Still King.
Mataafa is still at Malie with about 300
men, and is treated as king. He is keep-
ing the country in a state of unrest. A
story has been circulated that the United
States would help in the event of war, and
this has had the effect Of. keeping a numa
ber of discontented chiefs about Mataafa.
Consul General Sewall wrote Mataafa
that he should not think Of being king,
and that he would forfeit the good will of
the United States if he persisted. This
letter was suppressed by Mataafa, but
copies have now been circulated among
natives with good effect.
Chief Justice Cedarkrantz gives great
dissatisfaction here. He has limited
knowledge of the English language, and
cannot conduct supreme court cases. or
transact ordinary government business.
He refuses to have anything to do with
the governing country, and although he
has been nine months in Samoa he has
not framed a single law for the guidance
of the Samoan magistrates, as he was ex.
pressly directed to do by the treaty. He
refuses to pay duty on liquors, etc., which
he imported for his own use, and there is
no appeal from his decision.
The German land commissioner and
English consul say that if the chief justice
does not pay, neither will they, on the
ground that they are representatives of
foreign powers. There is noohing in the
treaty to show that the government offi-
cials should be allowed this privilege.
Couldn’t Coerce the Government.
The president of the council has lost the
confidence of the king and the govern-
ment. The president, not content with
being adviser, attempted to become dicta,
tor. He tried to force old German silver
marks in at par after the government had
decided against it, ordering them to re«
consider their judgment and threatening
that Germany would be very angry if her
money was not accepted.
Owing to the geographical position oi
the islands, American and English money
is the only one of any use, except at heavy
discount. However, the government
would not be coerced, so the money used
now is American gold and silver, soverv
eigns, German gold (twenty marks), and
Chilian silver dollars.
The municipal council is completely un-
der the president’s thumb. He sent all
the funds to a bank at Sydney, and it is
believed that he has deposited the money
in his own name. Although information
on the subject was asked a month ago by
a. tax payer it is not forthcoming. He is
about to take a government residence at
Mulenuu to cost about $4,000. He called
for bids for the jail without consulting the
council, but the council refused to consent
to this. -
DIunro's Yacht Disabled.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Oct. 3.—Norman
Munro’s steam yacht Norwood ran upon
Peufield reef, off this harbor, and one of
the blades of her propeller was twisted.
The N orwood put into this harbor for re-
