DETECTIVE RAFF AND THE STAR REPORTER IN SEARCH OF INFORMATION—HAVILAND'S OLD BBIGHBORS HAVE NO DOUBT THE MISSING MILLER WAS MURDERED. The latest supposed cine to the fate of Philip Haviland, the missing Montgomery sounty, Md., miller, the particulars of which Were published in Saturday's Stan, was fur- nished by Joseph Ross alias Joseph Kelly alias Henry Mallory, a negro who formerly lived on the Brentwood road not far from the Colum- bian Harmouy cemetery with his parents. Bome time before the disappearance of Havi- land, about four years ago, Koss went to live im the country some distance above Sligo, going from one place to another. At one time he lived at the house of his brother, Henry Kelly, who is a reputable colored citizen of Montgomery county. He worked for several other persons about the country, and at one time he was in the employ of Mr. Windom, supervisor of county roads, ROSS TALKED WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF Liquor. As published in Saturday’s Star Ross was ar- rested on the 4th of August for assaulting Deputy Sheriff Stallings at the Mineral Road camp meeting and was turned over to Mr. Albert Selby, who was deputized to take him to Rockville. Mr. Selby is a highly respected itizen, living near Rockville, and his character is above reproach. When arrested Koss was under the influence of liquor and was in atalk- ative mood. While on their way to Rockville Ross told Mr. Selby that he knew all about the disap} nce of Haviland, but when further questioned concerning the missing miller be declined to give any additional information. It was after learning this that Detective Raff de- cided to follow up the supposed clue thus ob- tained. SUSPICION STRENGTHENED. ‘The statement made by the negro while un- der arrest, together with the fact that he did not enjoy a good reputation in the neighbor- hood of Mr. Plyer’s store, gave rise to grave suspicion that he really knew something of Haviland’s disappearance. His nervous man- ner and his contradictory statements made to Detective Raff and a Stak reporter, who visited him Saturday at the house of correction, near Jeseup’s. Md., made the grounds of saspicion Stronger than ever. and Detective Raff felt con- vinced thatthe prisoner had some guilty knowl- edge of Haviland’s disappearance. At the de- tective’s suggestion Mr. Mayfield of the house of correction consented to place an intelligent prisoner in Koss’ cell for the purpose of ““pump- ing” him. RECALLING THE PAST. Yesterday morning in company with a Stan Feporter Detective Raff drove out to Sligo to follow up the clue, There Mr. Graeves, the @rocer, was seen. He remembered the night of December 16 four years ago, when Haviland stopped at his store on his way home. He thought it was not much later than 9 o'clock when Haviland left the store to go home. Mr. Winslom, the road supervisor, was also | at the store. ives further up the road near Plyer’s store. He too, remembered well the Jest night that Haviland was seen, He thought HAVILAND WAS UNDOUBTEDLY MURDERED. On the night of his disappearance Mr. Windom said that there was a colored dance across the country. It wasabright moonlight night and the weather was very cold. His (Windom’s) family were at Knowles’ station that night, and when they returned. about 10 or 11 o'clock, they saw near the Jane ling to the house what they supposed was an empty wagon. On the road was something dark that looked to them like a dog of @ man’scoat. The man who was driving the team, insteadjot stopping, drove hurriedly into the gate and to the house. The following morning the t@am was found some distance up the road and Haviland’s coat was found im the woods ashort distance from the FRESH BLOOD sPoTs, “T examined the blood spots on the wagon,” said Mr. Windom, “and 1 know they were fresh spots; and from other circumstances I think Haviland was surely murdered. _I think he was killed by some one who knew he had the money about him.” When asked about the prisoner Ross, Mr. Windom said that he knew him to be a worth- negro, of bad character. Ross, he said, had worked on the road for him, and about the time of Haviland’s a he (Ross) was sleeping in his (Wiudom’s) barn, which is but a short distance from where Haviland’s Wagon was first seen. his is a FLAT CONTRADICTION OF THE NEGRO'S STATEMENT. Among Koss’ companions, it was learned, was Geo. Dorsey, who has since been sent to the penitentiary for killing a man, From Greaves’ store the detective and re- porter continued their journey until Plyer's Store was reached. There it was learned that Ross’ wife. Jane Burch, had gone to the home of her father, near Colesville, several miles further up the country. Mr. Plyer corrobor- ated the statements already made concerning Ross’ character. Like Mr. Windom, he thought that Haviland had been fouliy dealt with and was hidden somewhere in the woods. “I think,” said be, “that Haviland was killed with # stone by some one,who afterward robbed him, and that his body wascarried to the large ine woods on the road toward Rockville, those woods were never searched.” THE MUNT FOR Ross’ WIFE. After leaving there several houses were Visited on the way to Colesville, where it was thought Jane Burch, or Joseph Ross’ wife, as she was said to be, would be found. At each house visited was found a copy of Saturday's Sax, containing an account of Havilaud’s dis- sppearance and the supposed luc, | John Burch’s house was finally reached. In the house John was found seated near a red-hot stove, and around him_ were and several children. grouped his ‘wife he detective exlubited his badge, which had the effect of frightening the whole family, It was thought Jane would be there, but she was notfound. Her father gave the information that she had gone to the house of her brother- in-law, James Kelly, who lived on the cross road between the 7th-street road and the Colesville pike. His house was reached late in the afternoon and, sure enough, Jane was there. JANE FOUND, BUT FURNISHES No INFORMATION. said the officer, after talking ‘tell us something about your mister,” said Jane, “I don't know “Didn't your husband ever tell you anything bout Haviland?” “No indeed, sah,” she replied. “I think I know who you ar Who is a colored man about fifty years old. “Who am I?” asked the detective. “You are Detective Raff,” replied Kelly. “I saw about you in Tuz Stam paper from the city. Kelly denied ever having heard Joseph Ross Mention anything about Haviland. He thought ‘that Joe was serving one of his various sen- ” said Kelly, THE BUTTERWORTH RECEPTION. A Hearty Greeting to Ohio’s Repre- sentative—His Eloquent Reply. There was a hearty ring to the welcome given Representative Ben Butterworth last night. The Ohio association and citizens of Washington assembled in the rink building to give him a suitable reception on his return from Europe and to get from him in his own vivid and picturesque language a reflection of the impressions he got abroad. Fully 2,000 Persons were crowded into the rink to hear him And to cheer him, and they were well en- tertained in payment of their enthusiasm. Butterworth is always a good talker, but he has seldom been happier in speech than he was last mght. His speech combined an entertain- ing lecture and an eloquent address in such a Way as to hold his hearers with delight. THE PROCESSION. The Ohio association with the Marine band, conducted by Prof. Sousa, assembled in front of the Arlington at 7 o'clock. A large crowd of citizens assembled and they were joined by the committee escortin; ir, Butterworth, They then formed a long fine of march, headed by the band, and proceeded by way of I and 18th streets to the rink. More than a thousand persons, a majority of whom were ladies, had already gathered in that immense hall. A pation had been erected at the end of the ail and the building from one end to the other had been decorated with flags and Streamers, As the escort marched into the building, headed by the band, the cheer of welcome was louder than the music. Mr. Butterworth was escorted to the plat- form and after the band had played for a short while Assistant Postmaster Gencral Whitfield in a happy speech introduced Mr. A. 8. Worth- ington, who delivered the address of welcome, MR, BUTTERWORTH'S ENTERTAINING SPEECH. When Mr. Butterworth stepped to the front of the platform he was greeted with a pro- longed cheer. After some preliminary re- marks he carried his hearers along with him over the scenes of his journey, not as ordi- nary travelers do, but brightening scenes and incidents with his keen wit and drawing his pictures with a master’s skill. Going over things that other people have many times gone over before he made them new and interesting, because what he saw and described was some- thing different from what most folks see in the same places. He carried his hearers through all the places where people go in Europe, but he talked of the people and spoke of scenes only as they were a mark of the evolution of humanity.“ He said that he had often spoken on the tariff question and had pictured graph- ically the squalor, wretchedness and rags pre- vailing in Germany. What he had to say now would jar with his stump utterances. He was more of a protectionist than’ ever, but he wanted to say that while he had seen plenty of abridged opportumty he had seen neither squalor nor rags in Germany. The people were too industrious for that. There were neither weeds nor loafers in Germany, WASHINGTON AND THE WORLD'S FAIR OF 1892. A great outburst of applause greeted the speaker when he made an allusion to the world’s fair project by stating that Berlin was the handsomest capital that he had seen abroad, but that it was not more beautiful than our own capital, as the Berliners would see when they came over here in 1892, He said that he found that America had uickened the world, and that the progressive ankee was making the rest of mankind take a more active pace. He said that m France he found the Yankee teachmg many wonderful things to our brethren over the sea, “A man from my district was teaching them how to bore a square hole. They laughed when he spoke of it. They marveled when he did it, Yes, an Ohio man had a machine to bore a square hole.” He said ignorant people there regarded Edison as more than human. In con- clusion he said: “In a day or two I will enter THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO. There is no question of Gov. Foraker’s elec- tion. We can all stand together on that mat- ter, I have scolded Foraker and Joseph has scolded me a great deal. I guess we are about even, but I know that when the ides of Novem- ber come we will see Foraker elected. Iam not here to quarrel with my democratic friends, I never quarrel with them. But after we havo dragged Cincinnati from the slums and washed her white. we do not want her once more in the hand that felt the halter draw. Our good friend Jim Campbell, like dog Tray, is travel- ing in bad company.” A general handshaking followed the address. $< Another Virginia Improvement Co.

The objects are to run a toll bridge between Richmond and Manchester and other points over the James river and else- where; also to construct steam, electrical, horse and other failways; to erect buildings, mills, &c.; to coca ges and electric light; to utilize water power, &c.

MeCormick was a splendid one, being a table of solid silver forks of different kinds, in ele- gant cases. The groom gave his bride a superb diamond pendant set with twelve large dia- monds. The gift of a magnificent diamond bracelet is understood to be a testimonial from Secretary Blaine. Andrew Carnegie, an iati- mate friend of the family, gave a large bronze bust of Men@elssohu; Mrs, McCormick, mother of the gave a’ solid silver tea ‘set of a dozen pieces. other presents being as follows: Three silver pitchers, Hon. James G. Blaine and wife; Miss Virginia McCormick, a silver dish, a diamond brooch, a handsome diamond bracelet; a gold-backed toilet set, by G. W.

A marriage which was to have taken place at Camden, N. J., was interrupted Sunday night in an unexpected way. The contracting parties, Henry Brown and Miss Mary Morgan, stood before the Rev. Mr. Clayton, preparatory to becoming man and wife. A portion of the service had been already read, about fifty wit- nesses being present, when the bride uttered a loud seream. Ail eyes were immediately fixed upon her. She was seen to raise her hand and point toward a corner of thechurch, The next moment she fell to the floor in a swoon and had to be carried out. Physicians worked with her for nearly an hour before she was restored to consciousness. When fully recovered she gave a curious explanation of her conduct, Her mother, who died four months ago, was opposed to her marriage with Brown, The marriage was for a time delayed, but after Mrs, Morgan's death arrrangements for it were tences received from Judge Snell about that time. “But,” said the detective,Joe admits that he was in the country and saw the searching ies looking for Haviland.” “If that’s so,” added Kelly, “I guess he was out. but he is mistaken if he says he was then living at my house.” Another visit was paid to Graeves’ store, but Ro additional information was obtained.

Great Concessions to an American Syn- dicate of Capitalists. For about two years more or less has been said regarding » grand Persian colonization scheme by a syndicate of American capitalists, incorporated under the laws of the state of Maine and engineered by Mr. Frank Clergue of Bangor. Mr. Clergue first made s trip to some European cities and then back to Wesh- ington, after which he traveled across the ocean and directly to the palace of the shah, where he tarried some weeks, and then jour- neyed to St. Petersburg, where hemet the czar of Russia, Returning home, Mr. Clergue held close conference with ex-Congressman Frank Jones of Portsmouth, N. H., who is the leading spirit in the Boston and Maine system; with General Manager Tucker of the Maine Central, Secretary Blaine, and some other capitalists, and about the time the shah started on his re- cent journey to St. Petersburg Mr. Clergue left for the same place, stating that he was to meet the two monarchs in furtherance of the colonization idea. He did this and returned home, made a visit to Secretary Blaine, and then again sailed for Europe, from which country fo has just re- turned, Always reticent, Mr. Clergue gave no information regarding these trips, except that last week he stated that experts in various branches, such ag railroad building, electric lighting, erecting water systems, &c., had been sent over from New York last fall, and also that recently valuable oil deposits had been discov- ered in Persia and were being developed. All of this has been looked upon with more or less doubt until yesterday, when a cable m came to the syndicate from an agent of the Rothschilds offering £200,000 for ivileges in this oil discovery, providing the shah’s con- sent can be obtained & the transfer to English capitalista, But the Americans say that the latter wili not deal with or trust Englishmen, nor will the czar, and for this reason they were ate} to secure the valuable grants which they 0) 3 FOREIGN NOTES. ‘Two express trains running in opposite di- rections between Naples and Fo; came into collision while running at a high rate of speed through a tunnel yesterday. ‘I'wenty were smashed and fifty persons killed and in- jured, The blockade on the East African coast ends today, The German fleet, however, will con- tinue to prohibit the entry of munitions of war along the German coast line.
