The Sensational Barnaby Poison- ing and Its Motive. THE PRESIDENTS SISTER. ‘The Street Railway Labor Troubles in De- troit Ended. Dernort, Micu., April 27.—The arbitration of the street railway troubles in this city ended this morning. On the organization of the com- mittee by the choice of Rev. E. R. Henderson as chairman, Arbitrator M. J. Dec,editor of the Evening News, announced that the City Railway Company, which had chosen him as its repre- sentative, wished to take an advanced step in dealing with its employes. It conceded the right of organization, will hereafter deul with its men as # union, will take back its discharged employes and retain them during good be- havior. Any protest against hours, wages or dis- charges of employes will be considered by the company with any committce the men may choose, and on failure to agree the matter will be referred to the present board of arbitrators, who are to be a continuing body. ‘The representatives of the men themselves as heartily satisfied wit rangement and the board adjourned. PRESIe AS At DEADLOCK IN NEW YORK. Effect of the Canal Controversy on the Fall Campaign. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Aupasy, April 27.—The deadlock in the state senate over the investigation of the canals which the republicans propose to institute and which Gov. Hill opposes promises to bring an issue into the state campaign which may materially affect the November result. There hasalwaysa been 2 strong sentiment against the canal system in those parts of agricultural New York remote from the canals, but of late years that sentiment has been dormant: ‘The deadlock in the senate, which has already lasted a week and bids fair to hold until the legislature adjourns sine die on Thursday next, has, of course, focused the attention ‘of the state on the canals and the anti-canal senti- ment is being aroused. While it is highly improbable that this senti- ment to which the republicans are now appeal- ing will prove strong enough to endanger the success of the democratic state ticket, it can readily prevent the election of a democratic state senate, which will be one of the objective points of the democratic campaign this year. The senate to be elected in November will serve two years and will participate in the election of the ‘successor to Senator Frank His- cock in 1893. The senate now stands republi- cans 19, democrats 13. It has been reasonably certain that the democrats would gain five seats now held by republicans, while only two of their own districts are in any peril, so that the election of seventeen democratic senators in November has been more than a vague hope. It has been something definitely to be planned for. The canal agitation, however, renders it very doubtful whether the Orange-Sullivan dis- trict can be captured from the republicans,and with the loss of that district the hope for seven- teen democratic senators will fall. The control of the senate is of prime import- ance to the republicans, as, with it in their power, they can prevent the reapportionment of senate and assembly districts, which, when made, will give the democrats control of the state legislature and will insure the election of two democratic United States Senators from New York for years tocome. The deadlock is regarded by republican politicians as an un- looked-for windfall. sci THE BARNABY POISONING. Every Effort Will Be Made to Hunt Down the Murderer. Dexver, Cor., April 27.—The death by poison- ing of Mrs. Josephine Barnaby of Providence, KR. L, is the sensation of the hour. The start- ling discovery was made by Prof. Sewall, who said: “The bottle contained no whisky no: could I find a trace of alcohol in the liquid. I dis- tilled ten cubic centimeters of it and no indica- tion of alcohol was discovered. There is no doubt that arsenic was present in the form of a soluble salt and in fatal quantities. Iam con- cluding a quantative analysis, and from a rough guess would estimate that the liquid contained about two grains of arsenic to the ounce.” ‘Mrs. Worrall is somewhat better and hopes are expressed for her recovery. The manner in which the plan of mailing the mysterious bottle became known is due to the fact that Mr. Worrall's partner has a little son who is a stamp collector, and when the wrapper fell to the floor the boy picked it up and took the stamps. The postmark is plainly Boston, Mass. here were 95 cents, worth of stamps on the ino onl which was type written, or 15 cents more than necessary. Developments are anxiously awaited. Ina special dispatch from Providence Mr. Henry B. Winship, the financial head of the J. B. Barnaby Company, in speaking of M: Barnaby’s death, is reported as saying: “Th wasa murder. In my judgment the motive of gain inspired it. A mother's life is safe in her daughter's keeping, especially when one ter is in France and one in Montana. I believe the poisoner who sent thai bottle of poison knew more about the victim than any stranger could learn by hearsay. It resented this ar- is simply preposterous to con: it a deo; mystery, crime lays between people the number of whom I could count on the tingers of one hand. I am a trustee for the Barnaby estate and have got a little money of my own to punish the dastardly perpetrator of that grime. We will spend every dollar in our han “Detective Parker of the local has been operating the case for me thus far.

There will be no #uch ending as escape for the murderer, for he shall not find » safe hiding place on earth. Have Ia theory?” Yes, I have one, and it is founded on very substantial evidence, too. I think something definite will be by ‘Tuesday night.” IT LOOKS WARLIKE, Military Movements Made by Russia Re- garded With Suspicion. Loxpox, April 27.—A Vienna correspondent gives certain details in answer to the denial of warlike preparations by Russia.

Crxorexati, April 27.—A telegram to the Cincinnati agent of the Associated Press from Cleves, Ohio, at 9 o'clock this morning gives the cheering information that Mrs. Eaton, the sister of President Harrison, rested fairly roll last ight nd that her x, physician, Dr. Hughes, while saying she is in # critical vorable, with stronger lor recovery. is the physician's ronger hope she may safely be removed today to her own home. She entirely conscious and all her friends are much cheered by the apparent prospect of recovery. The wires were thrown open say otng te- tween North Bend and San Francisco, the President sent the following to his sister: “We were greatly shocked to hear of your accident and wait with great anxiety further news. My love and may God grant us news ‘more reassuring. Bes. Hamasox.” Miss Moore is somewhat worse. ‘THE PRESIDENT WAITING FOR NEWS. Sax Fraxctsco, April 27.—President Harrison was furnished with copies of the Associated Press dispatches containing the news of the ac- cident to his sister as fast as they were re- ceived here. When the news first came the entire party would start directly for the east. When the news came that Mra. Eaton was not so seriously injured as at first thought the President was greatly relieved and stated that until definite Tews was received no change be made in his plans. The news of the accident to the President's sister came at 9:30 p.m., while the President corr were conversing in the parlor of the hotel. It was in the shape of a dispatch from Cincinnati saying that Mra. Eaton was mortally injured. Mr. Wanamake- broke the news to the President, who was almost prostrated, but soon recovered his calmness and at once set about endeavoring to obtain lars of the accident and Inter news of ‘s condition. The telegraph office in the hotel was opened by the an boo Co} y and kept open all night for the - debts use, bus it'wes mot unt a6 e-t, that the operators succeeded in establishing com- munication with North Bend. At that time the operator at North Bend had been aroused and he gave his account of the accident as soon as he reached the office. The President sent several messages and was much relieved to learn that Mrs. Eaton was conscious and resting more comfortably. President then retired without having determined whether to continue his trip or proceed imme- diately to North Bend. Mrs. Eaton is sixty-five years old. Her son Arch, who lives in El Paso, Joined tne presidential party at that place and ‘came as far as Los Angeles. ‘The encouraging news regarding the condi- tion of Mrs. Eaton has caused the announce- ment on behalf of the President that the week's rogram would be carried out unless Mra. Eaton's condition should grow worse. semana: ADHER: 6 TO PROTECTION. M. Melin Declares That He is Supported by the Chamber of Commerce. Panis, April 27.—M. Melin, president of the customs committee of the chamber of deputies, today, in an interview, said that notwithstand- ing the free trade attacks he was determined to continue his support of the protective tariff, which he declared would also be supported by the chamber of commerce. PREIS STOCKS QUIET AND STEADY. ‘The Market Opens Strong and Rallies After a Decline. New Yore, April 27.—The stock market opened strong, and fram 3¢ to % per cent higher than it-closed on Saturday, but the desire to realize upon the advances of the last few days was again very apparent, as the pressure to sell in the early dealings resulted in the general loss of the early advances, and in many cases of fractions in addition. The pressure was most severe among the active stocks, upon Union Pacific and Burlington, which declined 1 per cent and 3 respectively from their open- ing figures, but sugar lost 13¢ anc. most of the list fractional amounts. The Villards, Wheeling, Lake Erie and Rich- mond and West Point, with some of the inac- tive specialties, showed considerable strength and scored fractional gains before the in- fluence of the selling movement reached them, but everything in the — end was brought to and below the level of the opening prices. The pressure was removed later in the hour, however, and while the market from great activity subsided into com- arative quiet prices rallied and the losses in many stocks were recovered, while the Viilards were brought to the best figures of the hour. ‘The stubborn resistance given the efforts for a decline stimu- lated a new demand in the latter portion of the hour, and at 11 o'clock the market was again active and strong, generally at small fractions | above first prices. Money is easy at 3 and 334 per cent, The stock market continued active after 11 o'clock, but while the strong tone remained there was no further improvement in pric England at ite best showed » gain T cent upon the opening price, and Lonisville, New bany and Chicago, at 29, was 1 per cent better than its lowest. The best prices were well maintained, however, though the later dealings ehowed considerable falling off in interest in the market. Special feature was lacking, and at noon the market was comparatively quiet and barely steady at some concessions from the best prices. Gold coin to the amount of $500,000 has just been ordered for shipment to Europe’ to- morrow. ——— 3 ON TRAIL OF “THE RIPPER.” New York Police Arresting Various Persons ‘on Suspicion, New Yonx, April 27.—Inspector Byrnes denies thats man was arrested by him on board a Red line steamer or that a man was arrested in City Hall Park for the “Ripper” murder or that he has claimed to know who the murderer was. He says after the papers get through discovering the murderer he can work better. It is believed that no clue has yet been discovered.

Rossell called the atten- tion of the Commissioners to the fact that the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com- pany bad advertised for sale all the paving ma- terial within their same and for a two outside when the company changes its tracks. Capt. Rossell said: “This material is claimed by the District if it is to be removed from the streets. It seems to me important that the District take some action before this property Passes into the hands of innocent purchasera.” This, letter baring, been. referred to the at- torney's oftice today Mr. 8. T. Thomas, assisiant attorney for the t, rendered an opinion. He says: ‘In view of the fact that the railroad company has express notice that the District claims said paving materials when removed for the pi of aubetitating «different pave- ment T'do not think it clause, you will remember, in which the Dis- trict makes claim to this material. At the time the permit was ited this office had not thoroughly in ted the question #0 as to determine to whom theold material, when taken from the streets, belongs, and I have not since had time to consider the matter; hence it was that the railroad company might for the preeent take said material to its own yard: leaving the question whether it should accoun! for it to the District for further consideration. It is immaterial, I think, whether the railroad company sells said material as it is taken from the street in the progress of a, ‘its cable is, or whether the same is removed and piled in yards to await a legal determination as to whom it belongs. company, i sells the old material, will be liable to the Dis- trict for the price received for it in an action if the material spelones to oe District. I would suggest that you an account of the quantities and Classes of such material removed by the railroad company for the pur- poves of any suit it may be necessary to bring in regard to it.” ‘There is some difference of opinion at the District buildings as tothe ownership of the paving material referred to in the attorney's opinion. Col. Robert and Capt. Rossell think —— tothe District, in this case, as it would in case tho railroad company gave up business and abandoned its road.

For instance. on Pennsylvania avenue the pavement to be laid between the tracks will be sheet halt. Commissioner Douglass is inclined to opinion that the railroad company owns material which it paid for, since it is going to re- pa it with new material. He thought it best, however, to reserve all the rights that the District might in the matter and hence had favored inserting in the permit the Proviso setting forth the claim of the District. Cap! when asked about the matter today by a Stak reporter, said that as an officer of the District it was not his province to consider the equities of case, but to warn the Commissioners as to their could conside: a doubt that some portion of the pavement had been laid and paid three or four times over by the rail- road com The case appeared to him, ‘a householder the style of sidewalk In such a caso the District claimed the old ee away to ‘ope Owner put down the the Dutrict claimed mitted others to make 0 with it, He thought » railroad corporation stood 6n the same ground in this respect as an individual.

Now if such horses as Salvator, Tea Tray, Tenny and others of that stamp were here, why the events would be uninteresting, for such horses as those could aly defeat those that will participate at this meet- ing.
