First Placed [Baler Arrest and Then Held by the Grand Jury. RMBRZ‘iLRMRNT 111$, CRIME. I{he Former hilllionairo Appeared in Court- Looking in Dress Like 11 Labor- ing Dian—His Father Crushed Under His \Voight of “’06:. NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The trouble is pil- Ing up thick and fast on Cyrus 1V. Field. A new load of sorrow and disgrace has been added to the already crushing weight which is bearing down the old man to his grave, and as a result of the mental an— guish his health has sulfered another shock by the arrest and indictment of his son. Edward M. Field, of the wrecked firm of Field, Lindley, Wiechers 85 00., who was arrested last night at a private insane asy- lum at Mount Vernon, was brought down from police headquarters to general sessions. Field passed a sleepless night in the Mul- berry street citadel and positively refused to eat breakfast when Offered to him. The prisoner is uncommunicative. The former ~millionaire looked painfully dejected.\ He was very poorly clad, his appearance giving the impression that he was a working man ‘ of little means. He wore several days’ growth of beard on his face. I Before the Grand Jury. District Attorney Nicholl went before the grand jury and laid the facts conceming Field down for consideration. In an inter- view with a reporter of the United Press Mr. N 1011011, after he came out of the grand jury room, said: “If an indictment is returned against Field it will be based on the larceny of five bonds belonging to the Union Pacific Rail- road company. Of course there are a 'num— ber of complainants against Mr. Field, but there are none who are willing to formally prefer the charge. . Will Demand High Bail. “I took it upon myself after being ap- prized of the fraudulent transactions to lay the matter before Judge Martins and ask him for a warrant for Field’s appearance. The ’grand jury will undoubtedly make a thorough investigation, and, as in the Ives case, there may be many indictments re— turned. I do not know what bail I shall ask. It will have to be a high figure in or- der to be commensurate with the character of the offense.” Indicted, Later on the grand jury returned an in- dictment against Field charging him with embezzling fifty bonds of $1,000 each be— longing to the Union Pacific Railroad com- pany. Treading on a Volcano. CRESTED BUTTE, 0010., Dec. 1 .—The 0010- rado Coal and Iron company is in a worse condition than it was Monday. At a joint conference held yesterday they met the miners more than half way toward a settle- ment of the difliculty, but their propositions were rejected in toto. This leaves the com- pany in bad shape, for if the mines are not- started they will fill with gas and an explo- sion will follow. If the fans do not keep in motion disaster will overtake and destroy the property and a portion of the town. The situation is grave and serious. An Old Veteran’s Pickup. N ORWALK, Conn, Dec. 16.—Theodore F. Flegler, an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home at N oroton, will soon receive from -Washing- ton ncarly $30,000 prize money of the late war, due him as his share of many valuable captures made by Admiral Farragut’s fleet, comprising the western Gulf squadron.

BRIEF IMENTION. \ Six houses were burned and two torn down to save the town of Centralia from being destroyed by fire. The situation among the 20,000 striking coal mine-rs at Brazil, Ind, i5 growing very gloomy. The men have received but little relief, and with their families are on the verge of starvation. If it is found that other companies are filling the contracts of the operators at Brazil the Coal Mine Workers of the United States, which organization has officially approved the strike, will ca out the men at other places. - The presbytery of New York met in: that city to hear the report of tlicxzommittrle ap- pointed by the moderator to answer the protest presented by Dr. Henry Vandyke against the moderator’s rulings in the Briggs case. The committee reported they found upon examination the protest was inade- quate and that the ruling should stand. An action has been commenced at Mont- didier, France, contesting the validity of the will of Marquise Plessis Belliere, who left the pope an estate valued at 10,000,000 francs. Questions relating to the interna- tional rights and the temporal and spiritual powers of his holiness will be raised. The case attracts the greatest interest through- out France. Smallpox has made its appearance in the famine stricken districts of Russia, and many deaths have occurred. The peasants think it useless to fight the disease and pre- fer death. in that manner to the slow torture of starvation: In the province of Kerm the granaries are about exhausted. Milwaukee citizens have raised a guaran- tee fund of $100,000 to pay the expenses of the national Democratic convention should it be secured for that city.
