EASE 4 SHE WILL BE A KEEL BOAT Designer Watson Turns Down the Oenter Board Bcheme for the Challenger. DETAILS ABOUT LORD DUNRAVEN'S YACHT Becrecy Telng Maintalned as Far as Possl- ble but Some Matters Leakiig Out in Spite ot Precautions—Metal for Her Lottom. NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The Evening Post today say Secrecy Is likely to be main- | tained as long as possible as to the actual | character of the yacht that will be sent to this country next year for the America’s cup, except that at least one of her dimensions | will be made public on the recelpt of the challenge next week. The foad’ water line will then be known. Other matters of in- terest connected with challengers and di- rectors have generally leaked out, however, in the past, and are sure to do o this year. It fs sald by those in a position to know that the challenger will be a Keel boat, the good windward work of the Valkyrie in the last race of the series of 1893 having demon- strated that a keel boat, properly built and sailed, Is the equal of the centerboard boat in forereaching. Both Lord Dunraven and Mr. Watson, the designer, were satisfied in this respect. They came to the conclusion, however, that some improvement in salls will bo an advantage in the next boat, and when Ratsey has completed his work for the new challenger radical changes in the shape of some of the head sails will be found. Otherwise it Is reckoned that the boat will differ but little from the Britannia or Valkyrie. One of the important features about racing yachts is the cnaracter of the bottom, and when the Vigilant used Tobin bronze for the purpose It was thought that she gained a decided advantage. Since then the Yarrow torpedo launches have been found to be suc- cessful as far as reduction of friction is con- cerned, This fact has been taken into con- sideration by Mr. Watson, according to a prominent yachtsman who has been in Eng- land lately, and this gentleman declared to- day that It had been decided to build the challenger of that alloy or another somewhat similar. The other advantage of using aluminium lies not so much in its lightness as its strength and resistance to corrosion. It is said by the aluminium manufacturers that a vessel built of an alloy of aluminium and copper, or better still, of the new nickel plates, has the minimum of fr ction, which is one of the most desirable features for the bottom of a fast yacht. JFhese plates when put on the bottom of a boat have a decided polish, and it is said that experiments have shown that they wil not lose their polish for a month, and that the original smoothness can thus be easily restored. Further than this, they can be polished when deemed necessary and made still more tlippery. Yachtsmen were d'scus today, and all looked forward to a busy racing season in 1895. As far as could be learned no syndicates have yet been formed to build defenders. No one seems to doubt, however, that plenty of them will toon be in the field Secretary J. 8. D. Oddie of the New York Yacht club has received by cable the full text of the Lord Dunraven challenge for the Amer- fca cup. He will not, however, make the terms known until they have been acted upon by the America cup committee and its action ratified by the yacht club, ALL OV ing the challenge WALKE IR THE WIZARD, Napoleon Ives Gives D'rof. other Taste of Lightning Work.

TALK Successful Ruse to Obtain Evidence Against a Blackmaller. CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—A peculiar story of alleged blackmail and unique detective work in which a telephone figured prominently was developed today in the case of Attor- ney Charles Toas, who was held in heavy bonds by United States Commissioner Wirt, charged with rending objectionable letters through the mails. The plaintiff, Dr. Peter Janss, a prominent physician, had for a long time, according to his story, been paying lIoas vearying sums for the suppre: sion of a disagreeable bit of private history, and was finally driven to desperation when his wife received a letter from the lawyer. Ioas, the doctor said, frankly admitted writing the letter when o witnesses wero present, but denled all knowledge of it when others were about. At last on the advice of Attorney Luther Laflin Mills, Dr. Janss fitted a small te'ephone fn his silk hat with a slender gold wire trailing behind, which connected with a telephone outside the law- ver's office, at which two receivers were stationed, a detective and a stenographer. Entering the lawyer's office Dr. Janss de- clares he easily induced Ioas to again admit he had written the letter, and demanded more money. Then Dr. Janss exhibited his telephone, explained to the astounded law- yer that he had been talking through the doctor’s hat, and armed with this evidence secured the arrest. The ease will be tried shortly by the United Stafes authorities. . Protest Against Removing the Bruales. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6,—Senator Pettl- grew made a strong plea before the senave committee on Indian affairs today for an investigation of the Interfor department in its removal of the Lower?Brule Indians of South Dakota from the reservation. He charged that the departmient had arrested and taken 100 of the Indlans from theu homes to the agency last winter, confining them in tents on the open prairie, as a re. sult of which two of the 107 died. It is now proposed to subject the entire tribe to this same treatment, and the senator thinks the department should be stopped from this proceeding. He told the committee that no more cruel thing had ever been done, and declared in this respect the expulsion of the Acadian peasants was not a circumstance. The committee has not yet taken action upon the senator’'s request. Geologieal Survoyors Comiog In.

The | newspapers and thc police have followed up | every clew with unremitting energy only to | find themselves up against the stone wall of mystery that hides the identity of Miss Ging's companion. The work of piecing the torn note together, which Miss Ging recelved and tore to fragments on the morning of the day she met her death, has progressed, but is not yet done. The waste basket contained the fragments of a number of business com- munications, and the puzzle is an intricate one. It has, however, been partially fitted together on which the words “I will not marry you" are discernible, These words lend confirmation to the theory that the murder was due to passion or quarrel rather than robbery, and that the money on her person at the time, said to have been from §7,000 to $10,000, was taken as an after- thought to obscure the motive for ths deed. Two men have been found who believe they have looked upon the face of the murderer. One of these is M. D. Wilson, a local livery man, who lives on Kenwood Parkway out toward the scene of the murder. On that night, when driving home, he noticed the Goosman livery rig and easily recognized it through his famillarity with local horses. Mr. Wilson heard the voices of two people, and believes he recognized that of Miss Ging, who had often rented horses of him. The glance he had of the man was in the moon- | light. It was but momentary, yet Mr. Wilson Rhought he recognized the man The next day he visited the morgue. On the way there he told the detectives of his experienca of the night before, With the incident in his mind Mr. Wilson went and stood over the body for a moment, and on turning around he received a peculiar sensa- tion. Standing near him was a man whose appearance s:omed to correspond with the mental picture he had formed of the man in the rig the night previous. Mr. Wilson conveyed his impression to th officers stand- ing near him, and sinca then this mysterious person has been under surveillance. The police have said nothing regarding the inci- dent, but although at the first glance the incident seemed valueless it is being worked for all there is in it. Mr. Wilson, in driving to his home, kept near the other rig the en- tire distance from Hennepin boulevard to his home, which s not far short of a mile. A portion of the time he was abreast of the “buckskin” horse. Mr, Wilson turned off the boulevard at 1904 and saw the other rig proceed on its way out toward the lake. So far as is known this is the last that was seen of the carriage that contained the mur- derer and his vietim. Frank Eckhart saw the horse come dash- ing up the Exc:lsior turnpike in the darkness about 8 o'clock, or an hour afterwards. The murderer is the only person who can ac- count for the intervening time. The second man who thinks he has seen the murderer's face is W. H. Dennis, the architect. He declares that he has seen Miss Ging, whom he Knew well, several times lately with a strangef. “Mr. Dennis is well acquainted with Minneapolis nien, and could spot a stranger as readily as any one. He states that he saw her with this .man near Barge's cafe, and he also Baw the man waiting in- front of the Syndicate block about the time Miss Ging was accustomed to leave her work. Mr. Dennis was in St. Paul last Friday, and he states that he met Miss Ging and this stranger coming out of Magee's restaurapt; He (8 posifive in this story, and also posftive ‘that the' mAd did mot live 'id Minneapolis. “He does not say thet he ‘could not have lived in St. Payl. He describes the man as being an exceedingly smooth- looking Individual. dreesed very well. Mr. Dennis belleves that this is the man who killed Miss Ging. This, perhaps, 15 the best thing the de- tectives have had to work on, and the matter will be thoroughly investigated. At midnight tonight Adry A. Hayward was arrested, charged with firing ‘thé shot that Killed Miss Catherine Ging. Harry T. Hay- ward, his brother, the young business man whose relations with Miss Ging have been in- vestigated from every conceivable standpoint, was arrested earlier in the evening, also | charged with murder in tbe first degree. The police authoritizs say the arrests have been made after much deliberation. Considerable damaging evidence against the Haywards was secured during the day. Interesting develop- ments are expected tomorrow. — - KILLED THEM FOR THEIR GOOD. Mrs, Louis Alberti Quite Satisfied that Her Children Are Dead. GALVESTON, Tex.,, Dec. 6.—The sensa- tion of the hour here is the poisoning of five children by Mrs. Louis Albertl. Willie, aged 4 years, and Della, aged 10 years, were the first to die. Since then Lizzle, aged 8 years, and Dora, aged 6 years, have died. Emma, aged 6 years, is still alive, and hopes are entertained for her recovery. Louls Alberti, the father, and his 14-year-old daughter, Wilhelmina, the only two who escaped the p-f=oned wine given by the demented mother, arc oyercome with grief, while Mrs. Alberti placidly sits in her cell. When told that some of the children were dead, she sald: “I wanted to kill them, I have been ill for the last eight months and knew that I could not fulfill my obligations t> my bables. They are better off.” About eight months ago Mrs. Alberti lost a little ehild, and since then, at times, she has acted queerly. Her husband is prosperous. and she was sur- rounded with every comfort. She will be tried for insanity. e THE TRAIN. THEY KA Drunken Seldiers Terror:zo Pastengers on & Northwestern suburban.

Teatimony Out of the Ordinary and Creating Much Interest. The conterq of the will of Mrs. Mary B. Ramacciott! 1§y being heard in Judge Ams brose's court. [§The testimony fs attracting considerable affention, particularly among tho attorneys of ty, as there are somo new features conffected with the case. Witnesses have been called to show that the deceased underwent an entire change in character and disposition during the last few years of her life, She was a modest and rather good-natured woman until about three years ago, when her domestic troubles began 1o tell upon her and she became very dis- agreeable, took to drinking some and became very profane when her husband was the sub- ject of conversation. She finally reached such @ state that she claimed her only object in life was to kill her husband. She claimed to have shot him;once and was under the impression that he was seeking to poison her. She refused to accept anything to eat from hands other than her own, claiming that she was in danger of being poisoned. At this time she cared for a young boy, Francis B. Ogle, whom she had taken as a foundling. She refused to allow the child out of sight for an instant, claiming that the doctor wanted to kill the little fellow to pre- vent her giving her property to him. She used to st on the floor in the rear of her house, claiming that if she went into the front of the house the doctor or his woman would shoot her through the windows if they could see her. In her will Mrs. Ramacciotti .gave her property, valued at $30,000, to her sister, Mrs, Gibson, and to her foster son, Francis. The mother, brothers and sisters of the deceased are seeking to break the will on the ground that Mre. Ramacclotti was not mentally com- petent to make a proper disposition of her estate. The case will hardly be completed this week. Judge Baster Sustained. When J. W. Eller was county judge the estate of Burt Wheeler was offered for pro- bate, the hefr to the property being a minor, Burt Gwendower Wheeler. The amount of the estate was $1,935. This was just belore Eller left the office to his Successor. Then Gust Hamel was appointed guardian of the child and signed a receipt for the amount in question. He did not get the money, but accepted instead a mortgage on some gand hills_in Kimball county owned by a brother of J. W. Eller, to whom the child's money had been loaned. Judge Baxter. examined into the case and removed Hamel and appointed Isaac Adams as guardian of the child, requiring Hameél to pay over the money to Mr. Adams. The case was appealed by Hamel and was Wednesday decided by Judge Hopewell, who sustalned the action of Judge Baxter. In Line with the Law. There has been considerable litigation for a number of years over tax titles to property in Douglas county, The courts have recently refused to copfirm, a number of tax sales for the reason that the report of the sales has not been filed by “the county treasurer with the county clerk by the first Monday in De- cember, as provided by law.

Mahoney against Douglas county returned a verdict for the plaintiffs fob* $600. The at- torneys claimed $600 for defending Barney McGinn and George Dodrill, two men charged with murder. The commissioners cut the bill to $400, and suit was brought for the amount first named. Mrs. Mary Whitman has commenced suit for divorce from her husband, Albert, to whom she was married in November, 1892. She alleges desertion, drunkenness and cru- elty. She also asks $500 from a sum due her husband from the estate of H. G. Clark, claiming that she loaned her husband $500 and he refused to repay her. ————— Want a Government Dam in tho Rio Grande.

STOCK MEN ASK FOR RELIEF Europe.n War Against American Meats Having a Berious Effect, ASK CONGRESS TO REMOVE THE CAUSE Moats from Thls Country Have Had a Large Sale In the Countries which Now Shut Them Out and the Market Must Bo Recovered. \ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.—The delegates to the meeting of the National Live Stock exchange arrived today prepared for a session of hard work. The main purpose of the delegates to | this meeting, judging from the nature of their expression, is to take action upon in- hibition agalost American cattle by foreign countries, especlally Germany. hicago leads in the number present, and every one of her delegates is aggressive upon the export | matter, The exchange was called to order a little after noon by President W. H. Thomp- son of Chicago, and the preliminary work of greeting, appointment of committees, ete., was soon disposed of. The question of the war upon cattle by foreign countries camo American early to the front by the introduction of a memorial | to congress with relation to the existing state of affairs, Its reading was met with manifest signs of approval by the entite| delegation, and, from outward appearances, | seemed to express the consensus of opinion of the delegates, The reading of the paper was preceded by an explanation of its pur- pose, viz: “The obtaining of relief through congress from the unfortunate embargo placed upon a few American products, notably live stock, dressed beef and hog products, on account of the duty imposed by our recent tariff act upon raw and refined sugars from Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark and Austria, thus practically closing those markets to us, a continuance of which means disaster to the farming and live stock inter- ests of this country.” The paper goes on: very recent date, we business with_those Germany and France. because up to the enactment of the new tarift no duty was imposed by the United States upon raw sugar. Under those condi- tions thosa countries could well afford to devote thelr farm lands and their efforts to the raising of beets for sugar production and depend almost entirely upon us for their ani- mal food supply. Heretofore we have been enabled to send out products to them, while | “From 1800 to a have enjoyed a large countries, particularly This was undoubtedly they in turn sent raw and refined sugar to us. The recent placing of a tarift on raw sugar has destroyed this commerce, fir it is an un- questionable fact that the late action of these co untries is wholly and entirely due to the attitude of our tariff measures in re- lation to the exprtation of sugars, and it must be conceded that cur live stock and dressed beef interests will continue: to suffer s0 long as our present tariff law on sugar remains in force. The excuse which is given by these foreign countries for their action in excluding cur animal products is on account of Texas fever, but this is understood to be a mere subterfuge. From 1890, when this exchange cf commerce went into effect, up to a recent date, those coun- tries had not discovered an unhealthy animal among all the cargoes which we have ex- ported, nor a diseased plece of meat. In- deed, the rigid inspection in this country which is given to all such prducts before shipment abroad is sufficient guaranty of the quality and the healthy condition of all animals and products, especially when coup- led with the fact that only the best grades of ‘cattlo and dressed beef are exported. As a matter of fact we do not expcrt Texas cattle. Thé motive of this ciaim of the foreign countries mentfoned is found iu the fact of' our placing this obnoxicus tariff on their raw and refined sugars, and should this be removed or modified at once, we know that there would be no further fault found with cur cattle and hogs. We urge immediate action on the part of congress toward the repealing of the duty on raw sugar, and the modifying of that on refined, thus restoring our pleasant commercial re- Tati'ns with these countries, else the farming industries of this country will be very greatly crippled and our live stock interests very badly injured, as our home consumption is not sufficlent to absorb more than a small percentage annually of what we ralse. Miliions cf dollars worth of cattle and hogs and their products have been exported an- nually from this country to Germany, and othier countries, and unless the existing em- bargo is raised promptly from our live cat- tle, dressed beef and hog products, the lcss of this outlet means great and irreparable injury to us.” The paper, as well as numerous others, was referred to the proper committee. NEW THEATER CERTAIN. Mr., Crawford Says it I8 Only a Question What Proposition to Accept. Mr. L. M. Crawford, lessee of the Crawford circuit of theaters, was found in Manager Burgess' office at the Empire theater last evening. Mr. Crawford emphatically stated: “We are going to have a new theater in Omaha. I am negotiating with a number of parties and will decide as soon as I can make up my mind as to which proposition and loca- tion is the best. My idea of a theater in Omaha is that it should be modern in all its appointments and with a large seating ca- pacity, not less than 2,000. This will enable us to cater to the masses and glve them entertainment at prices within their reach. With a house of the size I speak of we would be able to secure the very best attractions. My business in Omaha, under the able man- agement of Mr. Burgess, has been remarkably successful, and 1 am_convinced that with a new house we would do a larger business than ever.” Mr. Crawford controls what is known as the Crawford circuit, which embraces Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison, Lawrence, To- peka, Wichita, Denver and Omaha. Denth of a Deadwool Miner. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Dec. 6.—(Special.)— Word comes from Deadwood of the death of Louls Whittenburgh by a cave-in in the Holy Terror mine. Whittenburgh was at work about thirty feet down in a new tun- nel, and without warning he was covered up by a cave-in from about twenty feet above. Other miners went at once to work, and urged on by hearing the buried man shout to them, succeeded in uncovering him. Just as they wel about to release him the rumbling of another cave-in was heard and the men fled for their lives. This time also the unfortunate miner was completely covered up, and when dug out was dead. He was a German by birth i about 3) years old, No one seems to know whether he has any friends in this country or not.

There is o good deal of the old Spartan spirit of determination in the composition of W. J. Burgess, the resident manager of the Crawford theatrical interests in Omaha, which was largely in evidence last night on the opening of the Empire theater as a popular-priced place of amusement. With- In twenty-four hours after the disastrous fire of Tuesday morning, when the Fifteenth Street theater went up In flames, Mr. Bur- gess had signed a th > of the Douglas Street theater, for some tine known as the People’s’ theater, but in it arly days known as Omaha's only theater, the "Academy of Music. A fc of men was at once put to work prepa 10 1ts opening last night, and the fair-sized auc ence present was a great tribute to tne indomitable pluck and push of the resident nanager, who, like the fabled bird of Greek mythology, has risen from his ashes, The house presented a very neat and homelike appearance, there was an odor of fresh paint in the air, and in the body of the house many who had seen their first play in this somewhat faded temple of Thespis, but still entrusted with the amusement of the masses. With the changes in the en- trance and the lowering of the side floors, proposed, npire will undoubt edly serve {ts purpose until a_modern play- pe years' lea | house is given over to the management of Mr. Burg ness in the bon es8, who has demonstrated his fit- tering to that great middle class, and sinew of the republic.

There is a policeman on duty on North Eleventh street who caleulates to do his duty, no matter if a few elty officials go to jail.

In cases where the replacing o plank’ or two would put the walk in g condition the street repalr gang sometimes puts in a new plank on the quiet and the walk is saved for a time.
