MILWAUKEE, APRIli 16,1887 STOLE HALF A MILLION. The Pan Handle Railroad Syitematlcally Robbed by a Cane. PmsuuKO, April most important arrests ever made in this part of the country were begun at an early hour this morning. They will not be completed before late this afternoon, and at that time the officers of the Pan Handle Railroad will have in custody the most daring gang of railroad robbers this country has ever known. How many members belong to the gang is not known but they run up into the hundreds.

Their stealings extended over a period of two or three years and the amount stolen reaches nearly half a million of dollars. Simultaneously arrests were made all along the line of the Pan Handle Road betweenhereandColum- bus. Warrants have been in the hands of officers for some time and the persons arrested will comprise nearly the entire freight men of the line. They include the conductors, brakemen, engineers and firemen. The ringleaders of the gang are outside of the railroad business and are known and some of them are now believed to be under arrest.

The first arrests were made about 2 o'clock this police surprising eighteen men at their boarding houses. The men were taken at once to the jail. Further arrests were made between 2 o'clock and day-light when forty-six men, all railroad employes, conductors, brakemen, firemen and engineers were behind the bars. In speaking of the arrests, a prominent officer of the Pan Handle road said: "For three years past the Pan Handle road has been systematically robbed. Cars on and cars in moving trains weru broken open and goods stolen, including every description of merchandise.

It is estimated that at least $300,000 worth of goods were taken, for which the company had to pay. The arrests havecreatedtheereatest excitement among the railroad em- ployes of this city. The scenes about the jail doors this morning, where relatives of the prisonerehad gathered to learn the cause of the arrests, were of the saddest description. Wives, children, parents, brothers, and sisters with tear-stained faces stood around the entrances to the prison eager to hear the latest developments and pleading with the officers for admission to see the prisoners. At 1 o'clock this afternoon ten more arrests were reported.

They were captured at the pay car while receiving their wages. This makes a total of fifty-six now in jail here, and it is supposed that as many more have been apprehended at other points along the line. Consternation prevails among the proprietors of the "fences" and dens where goods were secreted and sold. In one instance, the proprietor of a notorious den was detected in the act of burning stolen property. A telegram just received from Dennison, states that J.

R. Dnnlap, the leader of the gang, was arrested there this moruinn. The following are the names of the partie lodged in jail this morning: Conductors UnMings, Mar Roberts, .1. Brenimn, L. 11.

Nearly 200 warrants are still out and it is expected that the list of arrests in this city will be swelled to eighty before night. A number of houses in various parts of the city were raided to-day and a large quantity of goods recovered. Every man arrested had stolen goods somewhere.

Among the prisoners are several desperate characters who were wanted by the police for other offenses. They were all armed and when not taken by surprise resisted arrest. Numbers overpowered them, however, and all were safely lodged in jail. A special dispatch from Dennison says the officers have at- rested James and W. Collins with several thousand do'lars worth of velvets and high priced dry-goods in their possession, articles taken from the United States bonded cars en route to Chicago.St.

Louis and other points in the West. One Busby, the worst man in the gang, slipped his handcuffs and recklessly threw himself from train while it was in motion, and escaped. The most important arrest made here was Brakeman Young. He called at the jail to see one of the prisoners this morning and was immediately locked up. At first he protested that he was innocent, but finally admitted that he had a large lot of the stolen property at his home and told how the goods had come into his possession.

His confession will, it is said, convict thirteen crews. Telegrams from Cadiz, Bteubenville and points west of Columbus report the arrest of a large number of railroad employes implicated in the robberies. The preliminary hearing will be held OQ April 18. A Texas Miser's Death. LITTLE ROCK, April private letter from Benton County says that on Monday last James Barney was found in an almost dying condition in bis log cabin, and was taken to the house of a neighbor, where hedied the next day.

About fifteen years ago Barney came to Benton County and took up his abode in an old tumbledown leg house, where he has lived ever since. The hovel is furnished with a box of straw for abed, the covering consisting of a piece ot an old blanket. email skillet was his only cooking utensil. N6 cup saucer, knife, nor fork could be found in the house, but $400 was found wrapped in a mortgages on real estate amounting to (3,000. Over -two hundred cigars were found sticking in a crack of the cabin which had been given him at different times.

Barney was a man of good education, could talk on almost any subject, but rarely ever balked of himself or his past history. From papers found in the house it is believed he came from Pennsylvania. He once told a neighbor that be had a sister living in New York. He left no will. It is believed he was intmerted largely in mining, as well as being chief owner in a stock ranch in one of the western territories.

Flames on tbo Pratrie. ATCHISON, April number of persons have lost their lives and a Sreat deal of valuable property has been destroyed by prairie fires in the northwestern part of Kansas during the past two days. No less than fifteen parsons were burned to death by the fires which, starting near Nicodemus, Graham County, swept northwest on an airline into Norton County, destroying everything in their path, which in places was from two and a half to seven miles great roaring sea of flame rolling in tremendous sheets under the impetus of the high wind. Starting on the South Fork of the Solomon River in Graham County the fire swept north to the North Fork, which it crossed at Edmond, a station ontheCentral Branch Railroad in Norton County, and at last accounts it was still sweeping towards the northwest diagonally across Norton County in the direction of Decatur, the adjoining county on the west, carrying destruction and death in its path. Thousands of head of stock of all kinds been burned, and thousands of tons of hay, corn, and wheat, and from 100 to 175 houses and barns have been destroyed.

The people living along the line of tne fire have been left homeless and destitute. It is impossible as yet to learn tne names of those who perished in the flames, as the telegraph poles are burned and the wires are not in working order. Tremendous excitement prevails all through the burnt district, which extends a distance of over sixty miles in length by two and a half to seven in width, with the fire still spreading west and northwest. Turtles Bis Enough To Ride. Smiibvllle (N.

Letter in the New York Times. Monster green turtles, some weighing as much as 1,500 pounds each, freqnent the beach all the way down to Fort Caswell, four miles below the town. People eat their eggs, but do not eat the turtles. Beach parties of young folks go down there, gather beautiful shells, have dances on the hard sand in the moonlight, roast oysters and have fun with the turtles. When a female turtle wishes to lay her eggs she crawls up thesandy beach to a place that suits her fancy, digs with her llippers a big hole in thesarid and then lays in the hole 200 or 300 The eggs are not dumped in a pile, but laid out smoothly and neatly in rows.

When shecommences laying it makes no odds to her how big a beach party stands around su- pei intending the process. She attends strictly to business, and even if the eggs are taken from the hole as fast as she lays them it does not at all discourage or frighten her. When she gets through she scrapestbesandback into the hole whether the eggs are there or not, and then starts back to the water. That is the time for the beach party to have fun with her. As many of them as can mount her big dome-like back do so and she carries them right down to the water's edge, where they jump off and she goes on.

She does not seem to mmd their weight or show any disposition to resent their good-natured familiarity. Sometimes they turn her over on her back, but after she has helplessly pawed the air a little while they right her again and she waddles off. Shrewd Timber Thieves. APPLETON, April Sullivan, of Brown County, has been bound over by Court Commissioner Baird, for trial at the next term of the United States Court at Oshkosh, on a charge of cutting and hauling timber from the Oneida reservation. The testimony brought out in the examination opens the eyes of government officials to a peculiar method of securing timbei: from lands that are exempted from the axe by the Federal laws.

The method pursued in this and other cases of like nature is for white men to arrange with the Indians for the cutting of the wood in the forest somewhere, the cutter drawing'the timbers a part of the way to the city and surrendering it to whites, who get half the proceeds of the sale for hauling it to market. The timber is cut into bolts and sold, and it is almost impossible to directly connect the seller with the cutting or hauling, owine to the number of hands the material passes through, and the difficulty of identifying the bolts sold with the timber illegally cut and hauled. The trouble experienced in convicting is ehown by the fact that this is the third time Sullivan has been taken on the same charge, he having been acquitted both tunes previous to this. Invaded the White Bouse. WASHINGTON, O.

April grounds immediately south of the President's house presented a pretty picture to-day. Thousands of children were gathered there engaged in the pleasures of Easter egg rolling, a custom which has prevailed in this city for ever so many years. Thepar- ticipants were of all ages, sizes, and conditions of life, from the pampered child of luxury with her French nurse, to the poor black picaninny with bare feet. All had boiled and dyed, and made the air ring wita their happy shouts and merry laughter as they rolled their eggs and themselves down the grassy knolls, and chased each other across the lawns. The President enjoyed the spectacle very much.

His office window opened directly over the scene and he frequently paused in his worl to gaze upon it. Mrs. Cleveland spent the morning at her country home, and so failed to seethe children at play. While the President's public reception was in progress in the East room in the afternoon, the children heard of it and flocked in great num bers to shake hands with the Presi dent. KUTV, a town in Austrian Galicia, having a population of about 6,000 has been almost completely by fire.

About 1,000 people are home WHITE HOUSE CHILDREN. Fleaiant Kteolleotlonn of Intereitlng Tonne Folks. Col. W. H.

Crook, who has been one of the executive clerka at the White louse for many Washington Star an interesting account of the white house children: "This is the first time that I have known the Whitti House to a without children; that is, children of the president. When I cams here Mr. Lincoln was president, and I remember his children vary well. Bobert was then ayoune man, and only visited the White House occasionally. He was a captain of volunteers on Gen.

Grant's staff. "Tad, the yonngfst son, was his father's idol, and he was perfectly wrapped up in the boy. I believe the little fellow had more influence with his father than his whole administration. As I remen.ber him best he was a boy about 9 or 10 years of age, unusually briaht, and of a very inquiring disposition. He had a heart like a woman's, and was always doing some good deed.

1 accompanied the president on bis memorable trip to the front at Petersburg. Tad went with his father, who treated him as a companion, and the boy had a fine time. He wanted to see everything that was to be seen, and I guess he saw it all, for he was very observant. "The military was everything in bhose days, and Tad was much interested in soldiers. His trip to Petersburg was, therefore, very interesting to him.

To be a soldier was the height of his ambition. He had a regular army lieutenant's uniform, with epaulet and everything, and he would often dress up in it and strut about in high feat her. He was fond of private theatricals, and had a room in the White House fitted up as a miniature theater. He used to take about as mucajpleature in driving a pair of goats as in anything else. His father's death most broke his heart.

He died in Europe while with his mother. "His older brother, Robert, I remember as a genial, manly fellow, without any snobbish ways. Everybody is familiar with his course. After the war he studied law and then practiced in Chicago until he was an- pointed secretary of war by President Garfield. He was the only member of the Garfield cabinet who remained through the Arthur administration.

At its close he returned to Chicago and resumed the practice of his profession with the old firm. His business there is worth at least $20,000 a year to him. "During President Johnson's administration the White House was always full of children, a though but one was his own child, Andrew Johnson, Jr. Mr. Johnson had, however, three otherchildren.

His eldest son, Robert, acted for a good while as his father's private secretary. His two daughters were Mrs. Pati erson and Mrs. Stover, the latter a widow. Both had children, and these, with Andrew Johnson, were known as the White House children.

There were Andrew Johnson, a boy about 11 or 12 years of age; Belle Patterson, about Andrew Patterson about Lillie Stover, Sarah Stover, 9, and Andrew Stover, about 7. They had a large circle of yourg friends, and many a good time the little ones had in the big rooms of the White House. "Let me see," said Col. Crook. Robert Johnson died after his father returned to Tennessee.

Andrew died after his father, while still young. He never engaged actively in any business. Andrew Patterson is now engaged in a large manufacturing business in Tennessee. Belle Patterson married and is living in Tennessee. Sarah Stover is dead, and Andrew Stover is an invalid living in Tennessee.

Mrs. Stover is dead, but Mrs. Patterson, the other daughter of the president, lives in Tennessee. Her husband is engaged in farming, I believe, on quite an extensive scale. "The Grant children come next," continued Col.

Crook. "There were Fred, Ulysses, commonly Nellie, and Jesse. Their history is familiar to everybody. Fred was a Graduate of West Point, and appointed to Gen. Sheridan's staff, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

He married an heiress Miss Honore, ol Chicago, and resigned from the army. Everything went well with him, apparently, until he got mixed up with the rest of the family in the disastrous Ward business, which, for a time at least, ruined them all. "When everything looked blackest for Fred Grant the president offered him a position of quartermaster in the army, with the rank of captain. The office is for life and is greatly sought for, as it pays a very good salary. It was promptly declined, however, because, as he told the presi dent, he wanted to devote the rest of his life to the payment of his debts.

While in the army he would have an opportunity of getting ahead enough to wipe out old scores. He is now engaged in looking after his mother's I think, in writing a life of Gen. Grant. "The other children I know much better than I did Fred Grant. Dlyeses was a modest, retiring boy, as sensitive as a girl.

He never put on airs. With Jesse be attended school at Emerson institute, on Fourteenth Street. "Every morning an orderly would drive them to school in a little four- seated waeon, drawn by a pretty pair of Shetland ponies, and would call for them again in the afternoon. "At school, 'Buck I understand, was a good scholar and quite popular. He was quiet and reserved, and, as I said, very sensitive.

A cross word was more of a punishment to him than a severe chastisement to most boys. Jesse was somewhat imperious, and was not so well liked in consequence. His position was a little too much for him, and I guess be, never quite recovered. 'Buck' (I never knew why he was BO called) went to college, and then studied law. For a time he acted as his father's private secretary, and he made a very good one, treating everybody courteously and attending to business intelligently.

"He subsequently practiced law in New York until he got interested in Wall Street, and finally became swamped in the Ward-Fish business. Having married the daughter of ex- Senator Chaff ee, he is supposed to have inherited through her considerable means. I lost track of Jesse to some extent, and only know that after bis marriage, which wai regarded as a good one financially, he got into trouble with the rest of them. Both of the younger boys, are now engaged in looking after family matters, which are of sufficient importance to occupy then- undivided attention. "There is no use telling yon about Nellie Grant.

Everybody knows her history. She was one of the loveliest characters it was ever my good fortune to meet. As a young lady at the White House she had a gay time, and was a favorite with everybody. Miss daughter of tfae former surgeon general, was her bosom companion, and waa one of her biidesmaidsat her marriage, with the Englishman Sartoris. Those two girls had a good time together.

Nellie was the idol of her father, as knows. "The Hayes children come next. Burchard Hayes was the oldest. He did not live at the White House, and only visited there occasionally, so I didn't see very much of him. Webb Hayes came next, and then Rutherford B.

Hayes. They were all three good, square, every-dayboys, with no nonsense about them, and apparently not a bit stuck up because their father was president. Rutherford was away at school a good deal of the time while his father occupied the White House. "I saw a good deal oi Webb Hayes who attended to much of his father's private business, and I must say he was a good, square, honest fellow.with many admirable qualities. Fanny and Scott Hayes were the little ones of the family.

Fanny was a sweet little school girl, with many of her mother's attractive qualities. Scott was a harum-scarum little fellow, brimming over with animal spirits. His heart was in the right place, and I have no doubt he will make a fine man. Although he was a littlerascal, he had a good many lovcble ways, and no one could help admiring his manliness. "What has become of them all? Burchard Hayes is practicing law in Toledo.

Webb is, I think, engaged in the manufacturing business in Columbus. Rutherford B. Hayes is in the banking business in Fremont. Fanny is going to school in Boston, and Scott goes to school near Fremont. "The Garfield boys were 'holy to speak slangily, but everybody liked them They made things lively about tbt W.iite House.and had a mighty good time.

The children wereHarry, Jim, Nellie.AbrahamJand Irving. Harry and Jim were near of an age, and they owned the place. The president was just like a boy himself when he laid aside business, and joined in their games with great pleasure. The boys were up to all kinds of tricks and pranks, and many were the practical jokes played on those about the house. "The room in the northeastern corner of the house which is now the telegraph-room was then used as a school-room.

Dr. Hawks was the tutor. The son of Col. Rockwell, who was commissioner of public buildings and grounds, went to school with the Gai field children. The older boys went to college at Dartsmouth, and are now with their mother, I think, in Cleveland, as are the younger children.

"President Arthur had but two and Nellie. Nellie was a favorite name for the White House children. There were Nellie Grant, Nellie Garfield, and Nellie Arthur. The latter was a pleasant-faced little school-girl while she lived at the White House. Alan Arthur was a student at Princeton, but came to Washington frequently.

He was rather reserved in manner, but was quite a good fellow when you once knew him well. He had a good many dndish propensities and was inclined to be somewhat fast. "He has settled down, however, into a steady-going young man. I heard him say before his father died: 'I am done now; I have had a good time, had all the fun that was going, but now I mean to put my nose to the grindstone and stick to business. I have sowed my wild I gue he told the truth, for as near as I can learn he is doing very well in New York, and I have no doubt he will make a sterling man of business.

That ends the list as far as my memory goes." Wrecked Near Santa Cruz. SANTA CBUZ, April bark, J. W. Zaver, 220 tons, from San Francisco for Portland, with hay and salt, lost her rudder during a gale on Saturday, and yesterday ran ashore and became atotal loss at Point New Year, three miles from here.
