Sec Mother ud SUtor Before Her Were Troubled with Insanity Teeterday She Vu la Particularly Good Spirit Bat hhortly Before Her Father Returned Bom She Took the rolson Although Surrounded with Every Comfort by Bor Father, Bh bays She I Not Happy. Emily Arnould. tbo nineteen-year-old daughter of a wealthy candy manufacturer, attempted suicide yesterday afternoon by taking carbolic acid. Miss Arnoald lives with her father, Denis Arnould, in handsome apartment at the Washington View, 30 Washington Square. Mr.

Arnoald is the head of the firm of D. Arnoald which has a factory at 3S5 Canal Street. Three years ago Miss Arnould's mother died in a private insane asylum, where she had been confined for six or seven years. A few months after the mother's death a daughter of the household, Emily's elder sister, was suddenly stricken by the same -malady which had afflicted the mother. The girl was taken to St.

Vincent's Setreat at Harrison. N. which is conducted by a Catholic sisterhood, and aha has remained there ever since. Mr. Arnoald was almost prostrated when his eldest daughter had to be sent to an asylum.

His wife's affliction had come npon him like a thunderclap. The couple had been married more than fifteen years at the time Mrs. Arnould's insanity manifested itself. Before that there had been not the slightest suspicion that she was mentally unsound. When the years passed without the girls showing any evidence of lunacy the father supposed that they were safe from the taint.

But the shock of the mother's death disclosed the fact that the eldest daughter had Inherited a weak 'brain. Since then Mr. Arnoald has been particularly anxious a boat Emily. lie surrounded her with very comfort and luxury, one was per mitted to do as she pleased in every way the went to school and studied when she felt inclined and remained at home if she wished to. No one was ever allowed to cross her wishes, and the father was watch' ful constantly to see that her desires were granted almost before they were expressed.

He almost withdrew from the active man agement of his business, which he had built up by hard work for thirty years, and sought only the welfare of ins daughter. Under this course of treatment Emily seemed on the whole well and happy. At times, however, she would be moody, and then the father redoubled his efforts to make her life bright Yesterday morning the girl seemed in particularly good spirits, and Mr. Arnoald went to his office without dreaming of any serious development. His hour for returning home is ordinarily 1 o'clock.

Ten minutes before that time yesterday Mary, the' cook, was in the kitchen preparing inncneon, wnen suaaeniy caiiea her in a matter of fact tone 1 am dying. Mary. 1 have taken poi son." The cook gave a shriek, and. dropping her cooking utensils, she ran into Emily's bedroom. The girl was lying on her bed dressed in her street attire.

A strong odor of carbolic acid tiled the room, and on a little table beside the bed stood an empty uncorked ounce vial. "Oh, your poor father! What will he say was the only ejaculation of the cook as she stood helpless with horror. I am sorry for him," replied Emily, with perfect calmness, "but 1 couldn't help it. I am not this time the cook had so far recov ereu her faculties that she coald move, and without waiting for any further talk or explanation she new out to the nearest doctor. After relating in a few words to the phyKician what had happened, she ran again to the house.

Emily was still on the bed. sue was apparently not suf iering any marxea pain, but sue took no more interest in Mary. The doctor, armed with a stomach pump, followed closely be-hiud the cook, lie at once went to work on the would-be suicide. She remained perfectly passive, and in a few minutes all the poison had been pumped from her stomach. While the doctor was still at work, Mr.

Arnoald walked in. It needed only a few words to show him what had happened. "he is all right now," the doctor assured Mr. Arnould, when he threatened to break down. Won't she diet Mr.

Arnoald asked. No; she will be as well as ever in a fe hours. Fortunately the acid was highly diluted." Not long afterward the doctor felt justi fied in leaving his patient to the care of her father. Emily was very sick for several hours, but she gradually recovered, and by evening she was ablo to sit up and move around. "Why did you want to kill vourselft" asked Mr.

Arnould of the girl when she had recovered her senses. Because I am not happy. I want to die." What fort Haven't I given you every Yea. bat 1 am not happy." This was the only explanation the girl would make. Wheu een last evening Mr.

Arnould said that ha could conceive of noereason lor his daughter's act. I am sore that there was no man in the case. I know that she had no attachments ox any kind outside of her home. No man ever came to see her. and if she had been in love she-would have had no reason to hide it from me.

On the other hand. I cannot believe that she is insane. She has always been as bright as could be, and. though I have carefully watched her. I have never been able to de tect the Slightest symptom to indicate that she would follow in tbo footsteps of her poor mother and sister.

tb baa' been under treatment for nervousuess, but the doctor has never even hinted that there was any mental trouble. Where did she get the poison "At a drug store on hi xth Avenue.

An Intoxicated and Armed Loir Island Railroad Employe Endangers Many lives. Woodside, L. Sept 11. An intoxi cated gateman known as Sam at tho Fourth Street crossing of the Long Island Railroad in this village, armed with a re volver, held the citizens of the village at bay this evening, and by his actions en- aangereu many uvea rour tracks cross Fourth Street where the gateman was sta tioned. On two tracks thundering express trains shoot east and west like huge projec mes.

The intoxicated gateman raised and lowered the gates as suited his fancy. Deputy bherin bperling attempted to ar rest but as all employes of the rail-Toad are sworn special officers the gate-man exercised his authority. Drawing his revolver he warned away the frightened residents. Then there was a knock-down Dht. but tbe gateman's weaton prevailed.

Finally word was sent to the Long Island Railroad station in Long Island City, and a substitute was quickly forwarded to the relief of the gateman. GUILTY OF OBEYING THE LAW. Cot Hughes to lng the be -Punished for Not Obey- Governor Instead. Topeka. Sept 11.

tlons Capt. Army Sorry Velghtoa of tho Salvation Mr. Gates Was Annoyed. Jersey City, n. Sept 11.

If the po- lice authorities were anywhere in the neighborhood ofl the old Bergen Reformed Church this evening they must have con cluded they had given the Salvation Army a boom. The old church was organized in 1600, and it is doubtful if any such congre gation was ever before gathered within ita walls. William II. Beach of the West Side Methodist Eplsdopal Church presided. He counseled moderation.

Stephen H. Han so to, the first speaker said the chur saw the same spirit tonight that animi ited our fathers in 1770. It was an attem to crush eat the spirit of liberty, to prevent the Salvation people from irshipping Ood after the dictates of theii own hearts. I would not decry the police generally They were the guardians of thi peaoe, but, as now organized, the police seem to consider them selves empowered to drag citizens to jail at their plessuri. This outrage was committed by the ex press command of a man who was made Superintendent and whose office was created in order that he might draw tbe salary.

Neither he nor any set of men. Commissioners or any one else. has power td arrest people as these Salvationists were arrested. The police have the right! to arrest persons who are violating the law, but the Salvationists were not vioiat ng tne law. no one complained, and si they said Mr.

Gates had complained. r. Gates said he didn't. He said he did not like Salvation Army methods, but that waa alL Well that is his privilege. I He will come around in time.

Next, it was said the Salvationists had obstructed the! streets without a permit. Why, there is no Mayor or Board of Com missioners in thristendom that can give any one power Ito obstruct the streets. If the police can! stop these people holding meetings on their own property, they can stop any of yon from giving a lawn party in your own yard." Mr. Ransom was fre quently applauded. The Rev.

Edward McMinn, pastor of the Summit Avenue Baptist Church, said the police individually were all right, but it had been impressed upon him that the men iu poker were actuated by their impulses and not by the law. This was shown at the Salvation I barracks Sunday night. Hoodlums askailed the meetlngwlth leers, but there was no police nrotee- tion, because tne eaivatiomsts were at war with the polled. The Lord had recognized the Salvation I Army, as was shown by its success and itslworks, andtherefore all men must recognize it. He had been to their meetings.

He pad heard that "outrageous drum," but it did not strike him as out rageous. Going home, be had seen a crowd in the street, but no policeman disturbed it. The crowd was in front of a saloon and there was a "chowder party inside. A toli pe rn an came along, but he did nothing. He iroDaoiy naa ni oraers irom headquarters.

ir. MCAiinn saia ne saw in mat saloon a dozen boys not over twelve years old, and tney were au learning the lesson of intoxication. I 1 he Kev. John I Scudder of the Congregational Tabernacle said they had this same fight three years ago. Christy Smith stopped the Salivation Army from parading the streets, and he had allowed them to parade on the platform of his church.

He would do it algain a hundred times. Whr should the police tell these people how to worshiDGod. If thev want drums lnt thnir drums beat. They had Biblicalauihority for it. in the old days cymbals and other noisy instruments were nsed in religious worshin.

If the AncientiUrder of Hibernians wanted to parade, they would receive permission. But the Salvation Army would not. Whv Because tho high in authority sympa- tmze witn inosaioon. ana tne Salvationists are the foes of the saloon. He advised that a resolution be adopted appointing a committee to wait on the police authorities and ask that the Salvation Army be allowed to parade.

If the urivi- lege is refused! let them parade without it, and if they are arrested the police author ities will heat from all the churches and tbe decent people at the next election. partly Drone tne ring wnen we elected Wan Mr Mayor." he said, but tho old police are still iu power. We must get riu oi inem. I Mr. Scudders resolution was unanimously adopted and a committee was ap pointed to carry it into effect.

The com mittee is Join Scudder. Stenhen Ransom, Dauitl Uolleron. Robert Perry, Edward McMinnl and Matthew Foster. Will iam H. Beach, Khe Chairman, was added af terward.

I Matthew Fdster told bow he bailed the Salvationists kvhen they were arresied. said the bond was fixed at $100 each, and at that rate hb was ready to bail all the Salvationists In Jersey City as fast as they coma ue arresxeu. Speeches wdre also made by Major Perry. tho Rev. Dukiiel Halleron.

and Horatio towken, aftc which tho mooting ad journed. I ohn P. Feehey, President of the Police Board, said this evening that the Salva tion Army ukl be allowed to parade and would be given a platoon of police to protect them. He also said if the officers whomado ths arrests had acted without authority thcr would be punished. The Rev.

Ml L. Gates of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church. Jersey City Heights, who is credited with having instigated the attack on Division No. 3 of the Salvation Army, was set by a reporter for The New-York Times to-day. Mr.

Gates li rather short, but of ample girth. He hah a large, well-shaped head, bald except Ipi a fringe of gray hair about the base of the skull, a heavv iron-trrav mustache, anil shaggy eyebrows, shading a pair of restless, brown eyes.

Some time since Capt Creeden consti tuted an Italian patrolman, Thomas Butler, a speoial officer and detailed him to watch the movements of certain ox ma countrymen, ne went among them in citizen's clothes, and, having succeeded in his mission, was sent back to do post duty. While in uniform, about two weeks ago.

Italians, with whom he went around, recognized him, and, at a meeting of one of the secret orders, the matter was discussed and. as the police S. it was resolved that Butler most ha murdered, as he know their secrets. Ihe arrangements for the foul deed ware quickly made and last night was fixed for the murder. Charles ualio, a barber forty years old, of U47 bird Avenue was detailed to snoot Butler.

Tbe patrolman was at the corner of Elizabeth and Prince Streets shortly before midnight. He savs he felt there was something wrong going on and knowing the character of the men who were on his track was prepared for them. lie noticed Galio. whom he at once iden tified as one of the secret order men, ap- proacning mm in a sxuixiug manner, and. not waiting for him, fell upon him with his billy.

A free fight ensued, during which Galio tried to kill Butler, who fired two shots at him. both of which went wide of the mark. The pistol shots attracted a crowd. and soon there were a thousand per sons watching tne ngnt. ihe police man's billy did effective work, and the would-be assassin was safely lodged behind prison bars.

He will be brought to the lombs Police Court this morning. Charged with Dragging a Child. Batokhx. K. Sept 11.

Cass Canfield, J. Frederick Tarns, and Philip Schuyler. who had watched all three races from the May, the flagship of the New-York Yacht Club, decided that ahe had proved the worthiest of the quartet to race the Valkyrie. She had shown herself superior in light breezes, and during the stiff blow of yesterday had behaved handsomely. A launch was lowered and word carried to Mr.

Iselin and Capt. Hansen of tho result of the committee's deliberation. A mighty shout went up from the victorious yacht. and a happier crew never came up the bay. It was a victory for a New-York boat.

Nobody interested in the cup race could complain of the meteorological conditions under which yesterday's trial event ea me off. And though nobody oould help gretting to aoe Gen. Paine meet a disastrous fate imperturbably, like the stole that he is, everybody, tired, banged about, shifty aa to his gaatrio arrangements, and insecure as to his refooting ashore, had to ad mit that the Vigilant fairly earned the privilege of meeting the Valkyrie. It was ft complete vindication of the preferences' none too delicately shown for the New-York syndicate boat over the Jubilee, her only real competitor from the East. And what made it all the more com plete was the ruthless way in which the wind blew and the seas ran, aa if to finally shut off all the old.

too. too familiar protests. Give ns a half gale and see ua put yon in a pocket." The gale and the pocket were both amply provided. But neither of the New-York boats entered the one, while the two Boston clippers were pointedly exhibited at their worst by the other. It was a great day for those who clamored violently for a high wind and rough water and its net result must have been a great disappointment and an experience quite unpleasant to them aa it waa to many of the unused spectators who went down into the sea in little ships and got correspondingly knocked about To the eye of inexperienoe when the sun so he simply seemed to bo in excellent temper and promisod a bright, jovial day.

True that tho air was chill, but only with the frosty breath of the deepening Autumn. There was. at a distance from the ocean, no great menace of wind, and. the stratified. radiating clouds which manners call mare's tails were the only threat of vehement weather outside.

To the critical vision of experience, how ever, things loosed very ainereni. riaray tugmasters squinted up at the sky and remarked with hlf grins: 'They won't be kicking about too little wind this time." And skippers of yachts, unaccustomed to much smiling this trying and arduous season, positively laughed out loud. Worst of all. yachting reporters, hardened to the ills of deep-sea going, eyed their neophyte colleagues with sinister interest and bade them prepare to enjoy some real downright fun. Which fun they in due time, beyond dispute, enjoyed, but with very questionable delight By the time the pleasure craft began to wend their way to the starting point the frank aud undeceitful breeze, too brave and fair dealing to take anbody especially innocent sailors at a disadvantage, came piping up the Narrows and advised the rash aud incantioua to look out what they were up to.

This generous hint was not lost upou most of those who took notice of it. For the procession of pleasure boats down the upper bay was not to be compared for size or splendor with that which marked the weather-indulged holiday of last Saturday. It was distinctly a dutiful parade, and one subservient to a spirit of sheer necessity. Those who had not the motive of strict business huttsed their moorinics as thev looked seaward, and through the oien door of the Narrows beheld the glow ing riot of the elements outside.

Paiaeof the Jubilee is a singularly vivid and interesting one. He is not only the man who has four times come out of Boston to the help of New-York he is not merely the only cbampion builder who haa put nis nana in- nis own pocaet ana ae-fraved at hie own expense every charge and cost of sustaining four championships; he is a man of singularly original and individual traits. As he stood vesterdar morning on the deck of the Jubilee, supervising the bustle and labor of his crew, he might have been an Indian chief overlooking the preparations for warfare of his obedient and submissive tribe. His tall, spare figure, hia thin, aquiline features, his piercing eyes, the dark tone. of hia complexion, all most bravely bore out the idea of the Indian chief.

And his stoicism it was. characteristic ally, impossible to disturb. Tbe disappointments sustained by the Jubilee seem to have fallen noon her real Droorietor like compassionate drops of oiL lie did not so much as twitch his eyebrows when condolence was offered to htm, taking all the hurts to his vessel with the profound indifference and the anblime submission to fate which mark the true soortaman.

Among those aboard the Jubilee who felt an almost feverish pleasure in the outlook Praaeie Hoary Weeks.

was John 1'aine, tbe young student, wno will inherit the General's great fortune, aud who already shares with hit father his passion for yachting. Wearing a pair of white "larrys" mm the phrase goes and a dark-blue jersey, with the in- tiala of some Harvard club worked in yel low on its breast, he stood conspicuous. sharply eying every thing through a pair of dark-blue glasses. To be frank, he waa the very incarnation of ideal young Boston. The passage down tne lower bay to tne Scotland Light, when all preparations had been tinished, was a very stormy one, and that decent old body in green, the lightsbip.

It tumbled and it jumped, now rebelling against the furious tyranny of the wind in tremendous upneavings. now snowing tne cowardice ef defeat and running in a asr qi pent of wave clear over to the distant Jersey snore. The yacht and the tugs that towed them battled bravely with the insurgent elements. Now they shot up into tbe atr till halt their keels were visible; the next moment they plunged half their forward bulk into the green vexation of the Atlantic. like porpoises diving into Oceania swells.

Everything afloat had a hard time of it at the lightship, and looked for a worse when that station should be left behind. Every thing was diving or plunging or rolling. tbat the com air was alive wiin ex posed forefoot dripping brine, and bunches oi spray oenten out uy innoua bows, and long rolling cataracts and rapida of whit froth. Nothing lay easy upon the brrast of tbe sea. Tbe tng Lobtnan towed the Pilgrim down to within a quarter of a mile of the starting line.

Once the hawaer parted, and both lay wallowing in the trough of the sea like two aouatic monsters coouetting with each other. It was at this time that the Pilgrim, at least, showed the inferior buoyancy and levity of the new-fanirlad hah-head bow. For. true to its simile, the new bow did not rise, but leaped head downward into the uproarious so as. and.

Down, down, down went the tisb-head bow with the sailor apparently spitted on tbe long timber needle that eudod it. Down tbey went till the seas closed over th poor drenched mariner, dimly visible through his tumulus ot glassy green, and all but tore him from what looked like the death grip of a drowning man. Happily, after what seemed to be an incalculable period of immersion, up roe the bow, smoking with sprar.

Francis Henry Weeks, robber of womea and children, embeczler of trust funds, and thief who stole everything he could lay hid hands on before taking cowardly refuge in flight from thia country, at last feela the hand of the law upon hia collar and la likely soon to be brought back by a pollcwtnaa to receive tbe punishment for hia singularly despicable crime.

When the extent of hia stealings and the extraordinary turpitude of his methods be came known. The New-York Times gare extended apace to the story aa evidence of unusual depravity in trusted lawyer, and pointed out forcibly the danger incurred by too-confiding persona with, large sums of money to invest, whe al- often apt thus to trust their entire fortunes to tbe unguaranteed probity of an individual of plausible address. A few daya later thia newspaper published tbe first discovered trace of th fugitive, thus giving to the District Attorney of New-York the clue npon which be might work. The present news, which comes in a telegram from the State Department at Washington to District SicolL shows that the hint given by The New-York Time was taken and the clue followed with the) result of running tbe absconder to cover. Secretary Gresham informed Mr.

Kicoll in his dispatch that Weeks had been placed under surveillance in the City ot San Jos in the Republic of Costa Bica. Central America, by the authorities of that place, and requested Mr. Kicoll to cause the necessary papers, including an indictment of Weeka by the Grand Jury npon some one specific charge, to be forwarded through the regular channel of such procedure to the SUto Department at whenoe they' would be sent te Coeta Rica accompanying, as vouchers. formal request by the United State Government for the extradition of th criminal. There is no treaty ot extradition between Costa Kica and the United State, but the facta are clear that the officers of the former Government have made it a direct infer- ence that Weeka would not be allowed to run away from Costa Kica if he should try to do so, and that the machinery of the State Department in Washington baa steer been set in motion with a view of causing him 4o be brought back to America aad placed on trial.

That the United States Government baa begun to move iu tbe matter is shown by the fact, also known to the District Attor ney, that the American Minister to Costa Kica haa gone to San Joe for the purpoo -of causing the arrest of the embesxlet, Meanwhile Assistant District Attorney John IX Lindsay haa been drawing the In-dletinenta and preparing th reqaiaiUe papers, which will go to Gov.
