Fate of a Party of Women.
Mr. and Mrs. Horace M. Warren, J r.,
who are well known in Brooklyn, where
their relatives and friends live, came up
from Denver to spend Saturday and Sun-
day at the Horner ranch, up' Mount Ver-
non canyon: They were met at the
station of the Lakewood railroad at
Golden by the Misses Homer and Miss Jo-
sephine Holme, and they started for the
ranch. The flood overtook them, and the
four women were drowned, their bodies
being buried under brush and sand about
200 feet from the place where the water
struck the carriage.
Mr. Warren was swept away and lodged
in the branches of a tree, where he Was
' afterward found, terribly bruised, but
alive. The bodies of the four women were
recovered and sent to Denver with the in-
jured survivor. Miss Holme is the daugh-
ter of the manager of the Denver Water
company, and the Misses Horner are
daughters of Judge J. W. Horner.
Seventeen persons in cabins and tents
in Bear creek canyon, several miles above
town, constituted one party. One of the
Proctor children was rescued by the heroic
efiorts of two young men, who braved the
flood when at its highest to save the child
She says the water came while they were
all in the house, and they were swept
Iway.
The Herres family is now extinct, the
father having died several months ago.
The Casey family was also in this party.
Mrs. Miller lived here, her husband being
engaged in mining. He was not at home
at the time.

HIGHBINDBRS’ VENDBTTA.
Lee Yip Duck Offers 81,000 For the Life
of Joe Car or Lee Mee Toy.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-—The bitter-
ness of the vendetta of local Chinese mer-
chants was shown in the arrival and war-
like preparations of 13 of the most notori-
ous hatchet men in the state. The ap-
pearance of these highbinders and the an-.
nouncement that the price held upon the
heads of Joe Car and Lee Mee Toy had
been increased to $1,000 created the great-_
est excitement in the district. News
spread rapidly, and the agents of both
sides were on the streets, at the police sta- -
tions and at the Chinese consulate.
It is said that the highbinders have been
brought to this city by Lee Yip Duck, the
Chinese gambler. Four Chinese have re-
ported to the authorities that they over-
heard a conversation in which Lee Yip
Duck agreed to pay $1,000 for the life of
either Joe Car or Lee Mée Toy. These
men insist that a series of murders is be-
ing planned.
Most of the Chinese hatchet men who
arrived in the city are from Fresno. They
belong to the Bow-on-Tong, the most no-
torious society in the state. Among its
members are the most desperate Chinese
criminals in California. '

of his teeth were broken whén the medi-
cine was forced down him.

, NBW' POSTAL PLAN.
Assistant Postmaster General Neilson Gives
the Details of the New: Scheme. .
WASHINGTON, July 27.-+The recently
adopted schemc'of the postcfficc depart-
ment for establishing stations in eastern
railroad depots where mails can be deliver-
. ed direct ,to the addressees by a special ar-
rangement has been put into operation in
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington. - '
The plan, which will greatly facilitate
mail deliveries to the big commercial estab-
lishments in the east and doubtless be ex-
tended throughout the country, began yes-
terday afternoon with departure of the
12:45 train from Washington for New
York, and the train leaving New York at
4 o’clock p. m. for Washington.
The following transfer clerks at the sev-
eral depots will be on duty for 30 minutes
after the departure of the trains: Wash-
ington—C. T. Stewart, at Pennsylvania
depot; T. A; Hopkins, at Baltimore and
Ohio depot. Baltimore—H. W. N ichol-
son, at Baltimore and Ohio depot; Joseph
Hynes, at PMnsylvania depot. Philadel-
phia—J chn K. McKnight, at Pennsylvania
depot; W. E. Hughes, at Reading depot.
Jersey City—A. V. Longer, Pennsylvania
depot; William Gilroy, at Jersey Central
depot.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Neilson has made the following statement
outlining the system: _
“People wishing touse this special serv-
ice must bear in mind that mail pouches
betvveen Washington and Jersey City will
be opened in the Jersey City depot, and
mail should be plainly addressed, so that
transfer clerks may understand for whom
it is intended when it is applied for. If
this mail is not called for within 30 min-
utes after the train’s arrival, it will be for-
warded in the usual way to the addressee
if his whereabouts are known, failing
which. it will go to the Jersey City office.
The department will gladly furnish in-
formation to any one wanting to use the
service and will make modifications and
changes necessary for public wants. Mails
intended for New York city, but sent in
care of messengers at Jersey City will be
forwarded to New York if uncalled for in
30 minutes. ” '
. THE BUG-AB. BOUNTIES.
They Will Be Paid on the Basis of 64
' Cents on the Dollar.
NEW YORK, J uly 27.-—The secretary of
the treasury has finally passed, upon the
last of the cases under the sugar bounty
refund act involving the construction of
that act, and there is now no obstacle to
the settlement of the remainder of these
claims on the basis of 64 cents on the dol-
lar, which is as much as the $5,000,000
appropriation will pro rate among the
claimants. The cases decided .were the
claims for bounty of John C. Scannel.
Frank Webb and Walter Southron, all of
Louisiana. They affirmed the decision of
the commissioner of internal revenue re-
jecting claims of this class. on the ground
that, the licensees were not the producers
of the sugar as required by law. This
fact appeared through a controversy into
which the parties had fallen. ,
A second point involved in the cases was
the authority of the secretary of the treas-
ury to reverse the decisions of the com-
missioner rendered in the execution of the
bounty refund act, but the secretary found
it unnecessary to decide this point, inas-
much as he agreed with the commissioner
as to the propriety of rejecting these
claims.
Jose MAOEO’S DEATH.
He Died In Battle, Not by an Assassin’s
Hand.
NEW YORK, July 27x—Genera1 Calixto
Garcia, commander of the patriot focres
in eastern Cuba, writes to the Cuban dele-
gate in this city that General Jose Maceo
of the First Army corps was killed on July
5 in the encounter at La Lama del Gato.
This engagement was a bloody one. The
patriots occupied a very strong positiOn on
the Gate ‘hill and were attacked by the
Spaniards under Colonels Alberti and Luis
Varo del Rey. After an engagement of
more than eight hours the Spaniards were
compelled to retreat. They had 150
wounded to attend to, besides a consider-
able number of dead. The patriots lost
General Jose Maceo, Colonel Cartagena,
Dr. Pedro Ecbavarria and seven others
and had 41 wounded.
“met with a glorious death. Regrettable
as this is, our enthusiasm will not far a
moment abate, nor will the pcwar of the
revolution diminish. Our friend will be
remembered by his comrades with grief,
by his soldiers with love and respect, and
our country, once freed, will attach due
honor to his name.”

Danks, chaplain in chief of the Union
Veterans’ league, died at his home in
Glenfield at 11 o'clock this morning of
heart disease. Colonel Danks entered the
army in 1861 as chaplain of the Sixty-
third Pennsylvania under Colonel Hayes,

Gettysburg and taken prisoner. He is
well known throughout the country from
his prominence in many campfires.

family to move yesterday James Daley, 17
years old. of 178 Franklin avenue, found

" gran SILVER, PARTY.
The National Committee Issues an Ad-
‘ dress to the People.
ST. LOUIS, July 27.—Thc national eom- .
mittee of the Silver party has issued an
address to the American people. It is
signed by the committee and reads as fol-
lows: . . '
Inasmuch as it has been charged upon
the National Silver party assembled in St.
Louis that we area canvention of ‘repu-
dieters, revolutionists and anarchists-we
submit the following to the“candid.Judg-
ment of the people: .
_ In our delegations are 4 veterans of the" ‘
Mexican war, 49 ex-Ccnfederates and 196
Union army veterans of the late war. Of
the 731 delegates attending, 9 are Pro-
bibitionists, 49 are Populists, 146 are
Democrats and 52 part Republicans. Un-
der this composition of the convention we
appeal to all true patriots, without regard
to previous party affiliation, to vote for the
Hon. William J. Bryan for president and
the Hon. Arthur Sewall for vice president
of the United States. A result of this elec-
tion will be the restoration of free coin-
age for silver on equal terms with gold,
providing thereby a growing volume of
money, which will tend 0to disseminate
rather than to aggregate wealth,w which
will relieve the present profound depres-
sion and replace it with an easy prosperity.
We urge you to unite upon this ticket as
your sole hope of escape from the rigors of
a grinding gold monopoly. Ours is a poor
man‘s campaign. We therefore call for
contributions toward legitimate expenses,
the same to be sent to William St. John,
treasurer, at 121 East Thirty-fourth street,
New York. Contributions of $1 or more
will be regulaily acknowledged. ’
St. John For Treasurer. ,
ST. LOUIS, July 27.—Cbairman Jones
of the Democratic national committee has

York, who presided over the Silver con-
vention, ‘treasurer of the Democratic na-
tional committee. The letter of appoint—
ment reads as follows:
“MY DEAR SIRe—I have taken the lib-
erty of appointing you treasurer of the
Democratic national committee and hope
that you will without delay enter upon the
duties of the position.
“JAMES K. JONES.”
Mr. St. John announced that he would
accept the position.
BRAVBRY’S REWARD. ‘
General Batchelder Will Be Placed upon
the Honored List.
WASHINGTON, July 27.—Brigadier Gen-
eral Richard N. Batchelder,‘quart‘erhiaster
general of the army, will go on the retired
list Monday on account of age. .He was
appointed .to the army from New Hamp»
shire and has an honorable and meritori-
ous record, especially for services during
the late war, being breasted no less than
seven times. He rose regularly and grad-
ually through the different grades until
June 26, 1890, when he was appointed by
President Harrison quartermaster general
of the army. '
There is considerable speculation as to
his successor, but it is generally agreed
that the selection, which is by law con-
fined to the quartermaster’s department,
will go to one of the four colonels, who in
order of seniority are Colonel Charles G.
Sawtelle stationed at Governor’s Island,
New Yo‘k; Colonel Marshall I. Luding—
ton, stationed at Chicago; Colonel James
M. Moore, stationed in New York city,
