Mrs, Maggie Maguire, of Philadelphia, was drowned while bathing in the Delaware river, near the mouth of Big Timber Creek, at the lower end of Gloucester Beach. Just where the drowning occurred cannot be determined, because the eye-witness seem to be unable to correctly describe it. Mrs. Maguire, it appears, was on a sailing excursion in a cabin yacht from Camden in company with Miss Maggie O'Neil, Miss Maggie Sanders, both of Philadelphia, and Samuel Cousins and William Hare, of Camden. The men are locked up in Camden and the girls are in jail here, and the publio prosecutor has ordered that all be kept in custody pending an investigation.

Mrs. Maguire was a young woman and had been married but four weeks. The spot where the drowning is said to have occurred was unsuccessfully dragged. The authorities suspect foul Py. FIGHT IN NEW FOUNDLANDH BASEBALL GAMES.

A Large Number of People Still Missing. Twenty-Six of the Thlry-one found Identified The Captain of the 111-Fated Teasel Arrested Exonerated from Blame by Survlvora. Lake City, July 17. The closa watch of the men who have been on duty since Monday in the hope that some of the bodies of the victims of the recent disaster would come to the surface was rewarded during the day by the finding of a total of 31 bodies sinoe midnight last night. The gaases whioh usually form in the human body, after lying about three days in the water, were sufficient to give them the necessary buoyanoy to bring them to the surface and during the forenoon the number of remains recovered has been increased almost hourly.

Bodies have been coming to the surface in thevioinity of the wreck almost too fast for them to be properly cared for. Twenty-four have been found floating on the surface of the lake byll oclock, and after 12 o'clock seven more men were found. The bodies were placed in boxes and packed in ice as fast as they could bo taken to Central Pointe. At noon the twenty-four secured were taken to Red Wing, and as soon as the steamer could return the remaining seven were sent up to the place. It is stated that twenty-six of the thirty-one found have now been identified.

The list of their names is obtainable only in Red Wing. Two of the bodies were found to be those of parties whose names were not among recently published lists of missing ones. A dispatch from Red Wing says that there are still nine people missing from that city. Others are still missing from Diamond Bluff and Trenton, Wis. Nearly all the watches found on bodies recovered stopped at an average time of 8:35 p.

on Sunday night, so that it is thought that the wreck occurred about 8:30 p. m. Eight members of the First Regiment, N. G. 8.

are detailed for all night duty in the vicinity of the wreck. The estimate made yesterday of 115 lives lost by the disaster will probably be verified. Arrested by Hit Friends. St. Paul, July 17.

The captain of the ill-fated Sea Win" is under arrest, having been arrested last night at the instance of his friends, who considered him to be in danger of his life from the friends of the victims of the Lake Pepin disaster. He is sai to be in jail at Ellsworth, ust across the river from here. Exonerated from Illume. Kixkeapolis, July 17. The more prudent now seem to think that even if there was carelessness on the part of Captain Wethern he is sufficiently punished by the death of his wife and child.

Warren Sparks, Hugo Herder and Beveral others who were rescued from the wreck, said: "We fully exonerate Captain A. Wethern from all blame in the lake disaster from which we were saved." CHAPLEAU'S GOOD LUCK. Gov. Bill Commute. Hi Death Sentence to Iniprt.onmeiit for Life.

Albany, N. July 17. Gov. Hill has commuted the death sentence of Joseph Chapleau to one of imprisonment for life, thus leaving Kemmler the first person to be electrocuted. Chapleau was to have been executed some time next week.

The Governor says: "This application for executive clemency is based upon a petition signed by many of the leading citizens of Clinton County, including nearly all the county officials. The county judge strongly favors the application. The district attorney does not oppose it. The twelve jurymen who rendered a verdict against the defendant unanimously unite in asking for a commutation. While the evidence clearly establishes the killing by the defendant, yet there remains some doubt as ttj.the degree of his guilt and the extent of his responsibility for his acts at the time.

It must be conceded that a verdict of murder in the second degree would have been a safer and mora satisfactory verdict." Billy Myer After Another Fight. Bloominoton, 111,, July 17. Billy Myer has again made up his dispnte with Alf Kennedy, of this city. The latter has issued a challenge to match Myer against Andy Bowen or Jack Mo-Auliffe, to fight for the Polioe Gazette champion belt, $2,500 a side, and the lightweight championship of America.

Claim That the National League Is Giving Away Tickets Very Light At' tendance at the Games Both Brooklyn Teams Win Bolton's Brotherhood Clob Give the Buffaloes a Bad Heating.

Philadelphia, July 17. A meeting of the Players' League is being held here this afternoon. It was called by President McAlpin, and Secretary Brunnell and others here declare that they do not know its ob ject. They have no knowledge of any contemplated changes. Secretary Brunell said he did not think the meeting was called for the purpose of combatting the alleged free ball policy of the League.

"That the National League is playing free ball in some cities I am certain, said Secretary Brunell. "Why out in Chicago they are giving away free passes by the hundred. They are using Sam Morton's old Western League tickets for complimentaries. Besides this both Spalding and Anson have come out in the newspapers and said they would give free ball if the Players' League continued to live much longer." President Addison, of the Chicago Club, said he did not know the object of the special meeting. "What I do know," said Mr.

Addison, "is that the National League magnates have proved false prophets. All the prophecies they have made about the Players' League have failed of fulfillment. They gave dates to their prophecies and they have all gone wrong. We made but one prophesy, that we would live, and we are still living and we will live. I think we have the National League on the run." IS HE Joseph Sunn Arrested for Killing Ann Leconey.

Camden, N. July 17. The Leconey tragedy is again revived. Mrs. Anna Durham, a colored woman, accuses her son-in-law, Joseph Dunn, with being concerned in the murder of Miss Annie Leconey about one year ago.

Mrs. Durham says under oath that about a week previous to the murder Dunn informed her that Chalkloy T.ppotpy who wnq sconitted of the murder of the girl, owed him some money and that he proposed to get it, for he knew where the Leconey family keep their savings from the products of the farm. According to Mrs. Durham's story, Dunn disappeared and did not return until a week after the Leconey tragedy. She further says that when he came back he had a new suit of clothes and plenty of money.

He then said to her: "I have got at the money, all but what has been paid to them who have got to hold their tongues." When Dunn was visited in the county jail by a reporter he denied the story of his mother-in-law. Chalkley Leconey, who was acquitted of the murder of his niece, was engaged on his farm when a reporter related the story to him. He said he did not desire to say anything until he had a conference with his friend, County Clerk Burrough. Mrs Dunn, the wife of the prisoner, says her mother's mind has been affected for some time past and that she has concocted this story in order to be revenged on Dunn for some grievance the has against him.

There are rumors open that fresh trouble, of a most serious character, has broken out between the French and English on the Newfoundland coast. It is said that the Newfoundland cruiser Fiona fired a shot across the bows of a French fishing brig, which had refused to obey the cruiser's signals to lay to, the French vessel having been discovered taking bait on the South coast.

New York, July 17. The cigarette trust, known as the American Tobacoo Company, has adopted the "rebate" plan of dealing with jobbers.

The cigarette jobbers are much dissatisfied at the prospect of having to pay a thirty per cent rebate as a guarantee of dealing only with the trust, but it looks though they would have to submit.
