Roads Requested to Issue Five and Mile Exchangeable Tickets, ), 1L, March 16.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.|—A strong appeul has been sent into the western roads by the Western ‘craveling Meu’s association asking for the introduction of a 5,000-mile ticket ex- changable on all the roads at the flat rate of $100, and also for a l-cent Saturday night rate good for return till Mon- day noon so as to allow the travel- ing men to spend Sunday with their families. In support of their application the traveling men say their association is 850 mon strong and there is every indication that will soon have amembershib of 1,500. They undertake to expel any member abusing the privileges and 10 make the irms they repre- sont parties 1o the agreementagainst the abuse of the privileges granted. Having tho association and the roads co-operating in this matter would groatly reduce the abuses now prevalent. The maiter was once shelved by ihe western roads, but 1ts consideration may be reopened at the next mecting of the Wes ern Passenger association. In their compilation of summer tourist rates, the rate clorks of the western roads have struck a snag which has brought them to a full stop in their work. The Omaha road wanted a $19 rate from Omaha to St. Louis, but the Sioux City & Puacific wants to make it §17.35 from Council Bluffs to St. Paul, but could not maintamm 1t consistently with a 19 rate from Cmaha. That road wantsan $18.50 rate from Omaha, a § rate from St. Joseph aud a 24 rate to Kansas City, Atchison and Leav- enworth, Other differences of more or less importance have presented themselves, which tho rate clerks cannot harmonize, and a special meeting of the \Western Passenger association has been called for 2 o'clock next Monday afternoon to help them out of their difticulties, A passenger rate war between St. Lous and Chicago is brewing. One of the lines 1nterestea made application to Chairman Fin- loy today for authority to make a rate of 84 from St. Louis to Chicago on the ground that tho Chicago & Alton has been cutting the rate to tnat figure. Tne chairman has called a speciul mectiug of the Western Passonger assuciation for to morow to hear the evidence and take action on the application. The com plaining road, it is understood, is the Jack- sonville & Southern, which forms a part of the Atchison’s St. Louis line and the agents 10 it claim to have purchased the theatrical tickets of the Alton’s issue at$4, a reduction of & below the regulur rate. Oficials of the Alton demy tho churgs and threaten to retaliaté if its competitors adopt any such measure that is proposed, by cutting rates between Chicago and St. Louis and Kunsas City ana St, Louis, Some such ultimatum will be sent wmorrow by the Alton management. 1f this is not regarded as a ‘“*oluff” it will prob- ably frighten scme of the roads 1nto oppos- ing the Jacksonville Southeastern’s applica- tion. Tho Alton's threat, if carried out, would be aserious blow to the Missourt Pacific, the Wabask and the Burlington be- tween St. Louis and Kansas City and to ali the southwestern Missouri lives, ‘The commissioners of the Western Trafic associntion are again wrestling with the question of equality, Some time ago the Burlington and Rock lsland roads applied to them for 4 reduction of the rate on ore from Denver to Omaha from $5 to £2 per ton be- cause the Union Pacificis practically making that rate by means of smelting in tvansit privileges on through shipments from Idabo. The commissioners will refer the matter o the advisory board. —————— DAMAGES BY STORM, ere Blizzards Prevalling in s of the Country, —~At 10 o'clock this morning the northern hurricane culminated in astorm of sleet and snow and ice, and a great calamity to perbaps all Texas, I'ruit trees, yesterday gaily covered with full bloom. today are in &n avotic emorace of ico.

The inquiry started 1 connoct with tho arrest at Melbourne, Australia, of a man named Williams, charged with murdering a woman there. This morning the hearthstono whera they formerly lived was raised and tho bodies of the woman and her throe children, partly consumea by quicklime, wore unearthed, Thinks He's the Ripper. A pronounced theory has sprung up that Williams 13 the noted “Jack the Ripper.” While a resident of Liverpool ho irequently visited London, and it is found that these visits tally with the Whitechapel murae A description of “Jack the Iipper’ tallies with Wiiliams, Therc are few clows to the idontity of the man. Whilo he was hving at R Hiil, he went to London. Ho returned dressed in foreign regimentals,including a gorgeous but faded coat the worse for wear. Ho said this uniform was that of a Bengal cavalry, but evaded making answars to questions 8 to what regiment he had served in. He dis- played poisoued daggers and knives, some of which he left at Rain Hill. The polica are tracing the makers of the baes left by Wil- liams, Ouly tho kitchen was searched today. The ground under the other rooms will be excavated tomorrow, Description of One of Iis Vietims, The body of the woman found today was dressed, except that a hootand stocking were missing. rho clothes were of one quality. The woman Liad a dark complexion and short black hair, suggestive of a half caste. Sho wore a wedding ring and a keeper. 'I'lic rope with which sho had been strangled was about the neck and tho throat was cut. ‘The eldest girl's skull was crusbied and the head was noarly sovered from thoe body. The brutality of the murder suggests the ferocity of “Jack the Ripper.” Toe work of concealing the bodies was carried out carcfully. After a decp hole had been dug tho bodies of the woinan und two children were thrown in and coment was poured ou them. The bodies of the two older children were thrown_in and more cement was poured on them, Next the tlagstones were lnid over the top of ~the hole and finally over all was applied a layer of pinches of cement extending over tho entire kitchen, The discovery of the murders has caused an intense sensation. His First Appearance at Rain Hill, I'he question, whom Williams reaily fis, and how he lLived, remains a mystery. In his first appearance at Raia Hill he stayed at a hotel, where he led a rollicking life, bewg a man of frea mauners, with a general stylo of wealth, He drank plentifully, but not excessivoly, and was always ready for champugne treats, Ho was fond of society, was a good story teller, having traveled ex- tensively, and was willing 0 spin a yarn, but when asked about himself he immed ately became taciturn, .Hoe never gave an inkling of his personal history. He took photographs from acqueintances, but never had himself photographeu. A local nowspaper, on the occasion of his marriage to Miss Muther, whom be murdered in Melbourne, triea to get a sketch of his ca- reer, but Williams vefuscd to give any infor- mation regarding himself. o first met Miss Mather at her mother’s while making inquir- ics as to the renting of a villa. Wiliams retended to act for a mythical Colonel 3rooks, and obtpiued. the temamcy of tho villa, paying six months’ rent in advance. He furnished only a single room in the house. Tiomediately after he had taken possession of the villa an uvknown woman with chil- dron was seen about the house. Notody saw them arrive or depart. About the same time another woman visited him at a hotel and they partook of a luncheon of duck and green peas, washed down with copiovs draughts of champagne. Williams told the landlora that his companion was his sister, This ‘woman was seen twice when the also van- ished. After taking the villa Williams often left the hotel in the morning and would not re- turn until the evening. His clothing and person used to be covered with dirtand his hands were much blistered. Heo explained nis untidy appearance by saying that he had been engaged in putting down new floors in a house. A laborer has been found who deposes that this statement was true, I1e says that Wil- liams called upon him to assist in taking up the floor of a kitchen and two other rooms and hired a plasterer to relay them in cement., 1is Victims Appear. Theso preparations had been completed when the victims came on the scone, and tho murders must have been effected without delay. Williams left the hotel to occupy tho vitla, but in a few days he retarned, saying bio could not sleep there; that his sister and the children had gone away, snd that his plans were overturned. He afterward re- turned to thevilla, but’ finally came back again to the hotel. He hurried his marringe with Miss Mather. In Tuct he went to stay at her mother's two weeks before the ccremony. Tne mother was oager for the marringe, as \Williams made displays of bank notes, niggots of gold and diamond rings. In physical appearance the man was not propossessing. His age was entered on the marriage register as #1, but nholooked 44, Ho nad n_ sallow complexion and his galt was awkward, Ho did not take s brido to the villa. He causea o lot of heavy boxes to be left there, which were afterwards removed. He lefu at the hotel two traveling bags. ‘I'nese are now beiag vlosely scrutinized.

In the meantime Engiand takes ad- vantage of tho cirenimstaaces to continue tho work of absorbing Egypt. In view of this it 15 very desirablo that the question of the firman should be quickly brought to a con- clusion. HOW THE COP WAS FOOLED. Story of a Novel Advertising Theatrieal Manager, Tt is not often that a “lady in black™ excites more than passing attention from thoso who meet hee duily. The emblem of widowhood has become ordinary us o matter of fact nowadays thrt there is nothing left for the ob- server except to follow the furrcwed lines where it is supposed “the tears have coursed unscen.’ But there are two ‘“‘alleged” widows in town whose presence nnd mission here are the outcome of the cultured brain of a theatrical manager. They are young and handsome and of the kind that would draw sympathy even from a modern bachelor, Dressed in the black- est of heavy black crepe, with veils streaming to their feet, they went from house to house yesterday afternoon. Their avpearances atteacted the attention of several peoplo pass- ing eitheir way and in a short time & throng of curiosity ckers had gathered around the widows’ as they left cach house. They did not look like nuns, orsisters of char ity, consequently the crowd were at loss to understand whom the remark pair were. Out they came and in they went. The crowd grew larger, until at length one of those “*public benefactors™ known as a police officer thought he would investizate for himself the my terious depths of tho mysterious pai individuality. A lecling of awe secimed to come over him for a moment, and the heavy beating of his breast soemed to tell him and thoso who saw it that he had a duty to perform in the interest of the commonwealth. e suddenly be- came imbued with an idea—strange, wasn’t it?—an idea that the modest ap: pearing “‘iadiesin black™ were impostors and passing themselves off as membors of some religious institution. The great and level-headed officer thought again, and finally made up his mind that he had surmised aright. He told a few of the onlookers what he thought, and of course they agreed with him. How fool- h of them not to have guessed. “‘Great man, that officer; will be in congress some day. " Out the widows came again and into the next house. Now wuas the ofticer’s chance. THe darted up the steps and pulled tho doorbell of the house from which the mourners bad just made their exit T must see your mistress at once,” he said to the gentle maiden who opened the door. “Mamma isn’t at home, sir,” swered the sweet faced daughter of Venus, as she started with fright at the glittering shield that dangled on his breast, which periodically throbbed and swelled with official dignity. “Did you see thoso ladies who just left here?”” queried the great man of pomp and regality. “Yes, sir,” replied the “What did they want? in barbaric resonant, “Why. they merely left this for mamma,” replied thesilvery toned grad- uate of sweet 17, “I thought so, T thought so!” he cried as he snatched a neatly folded circular from the young lady’s hand. “Some fake, of course. Some church impostors working the same old racket on u huge scale.” By this time he had opened the little folder. He seanned the front page with horrible expectancy, thinking to find an engraving of a church oe other re. ligious editice.
