2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1895. MRS, CORBETT'SCASE. Troubles of the Cham- pion Coming to a Cli- max Very Soon. JIM WILL NOT TALK He Claims to Know Absolutely Nothing About His Wife’s Action. NO PROCEEDINGS IN DAKOTA. Mrs. Corbett Did Not Go to Yankton to Look After Her Legal Interests. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 24,—The marital troubles of Jim Corbett and wife seem to be approaching a climax. A re- porter called at Mrs. Corbett’s fine home, 146 West Eighty-eighth street, but her father, Mr. Ls aid the report that she had been to Yankton, 8. D., to institute proceedings there against her husband was untrue. He furtier stated that his daugh- ter had not been outside of New York for some little time. Howe & Hummel are Mrs. Corbett’s at- toreys, and Abe Hummel admits that there is alikelihood of the affair soon becoming very public in all its details, but qur now he declines to give out any particulars. The champion himself isalmostas close- mouthed as a clam on the subject, as the following dispatch shows: ASBURY PARK. N. J., June 23.—James J. Corbett, the pugilist, was found at his cot- tage here to-night. After he had returned from a drive he was interviewea by & corre- spondent as to his marital troubles. Corbett was polite, but uncommunicative. He stated that {f Mrs. Corbett had applied for a divorce iu Yankton he did not know of it. When ! asked if it was a fact that Mrs. Corbett had al- ready brougnt proceedi; bsolute divorce in the State of New York he said he would rather not answer thet question. He declined 2150 to say whether papers had been served on him by the attorneys of Mrs. Corbett. On being asked if it were a fact that he had filed his answer be hesitated and again declined to reply. It was suggested that perkaps he had placed the matter in the hands of his attorney, to which Corbett replied, “I did not say I had an aitorney, did 17"* it possible that your domestic difficulties ttled out of court by a referee or other- as next asked. ther not answer,” said Jim, “as I cannot answer the question definitely, and do not know what may happen. If the time comes for me to talk, and it may come, I willtell my side of the story.” Corbett was asked if it were & fact that he had deeded a handsome residence on Eighty-eighth street, New York, to his wife and was now pay- ing her §100 a week. His reply was: I see the newspapers say 0.” Jim saia it might, perhaps, be to hisadvan- | tage 10 talk, but he declined to doso from prin- | ciple. He intimated that the proceedings | might not be brought, but was positive in de- clining to talk on the subject. As to the name of the corespondent in the case, he said that was a master which he would not discuss with any one. Corbett sald that he had been pressed by newspaper men to talk on this mat- ter, but it was one between his wife and him- self and he would not uttera word. Ifany talking was done outside the courts it would be by the other side, not by him. A newspaper man had offered him $1000 cash to talk of the matter or write such state- ments as he desired to make, but he positively declined the offer, as he is not trading on the privaie troubles between himseli and Mrs, Corbett. plalitgre o, WILL MARRY AGAIN, The Champion, It Is Said, Wil Wed Vera Stanwood. CHICAGO, ILL., June 24.—Tt is reported here that James J. Corbett is going to allow his wife to get her divorce, for which she applied in New York to-day, that he may be free to enter another matrimonial venture. The woman whom it is said he may marry is Vera Stanwood, and there is almost a cer- tainty that she is the one who will figure as co-respondent in the coming divorce proceedings. Miss Stapwood is a tall blonde with exceedingly pretty features and complexion. She is refined and on the surface impresses oue favorably, but her morals are weak. She was born and reared in Denver, where she now has living a mother and a very beautiful sister, standing well in the community, but her family name cannot be learned. Vera mar- ried early a well-to-do merchant, who is now dead. Extravagance and love of dress are said to have been her ruin. She met Corbett shortly after coming to Chicago, three years ago, and the champion spent money on her like water. Among the presents he is known to have given her are a diamond ring, a diamond hairpin j they know about him for fear of being and a very handsome gold watch. The pair took many trips to different parts of the country and the last heard of them was when they were in New York. It was said to-night at the house where Vera formerly lived that there was no doubt but that the Corbett-Stan- wood case was one of muinal attrac- tion, and that Corbett is completely in the woman’s power. Corbett has made re- peated promises to marry the woman in the presence of other girls in the house, and they pelieve that he is sincere. PATRIOTIC NORWEGIANS. Preparing to Aid Their Country in Ewx- pected Trouble With Sweden. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 24.—Patriotic Norwegians in the United States are rally- ing to the support of their country in its political difficulties with Sweden, and in the event of open disruption they will be leading factors in the rebellion. Societies are being organized, defense funds raised and plans arranged for the coming struggle. ] The Norsemen of New York and Brook- lyn are the most active and ready in this movement. Although the majority of their fellow- countrymen live in the Northwestern States, the popular sentiment in Norway is for warships. A few days ago there was deposited in the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company the nucleus of a fund to build a cruiser, to be paid for by the money sub- scribed in this country. The plan of this defense fund was pro- posed at the celebration in Brooklyn of the Norwegian national holiday, May 27. On that day $500 was pledged, and it is ex- pected that large sums’ will be subscribed by wealthy Norwegians in the West. gt MYSTERJOUSLY MURDERED. An Express Messenger Found in His Car Pierced by Three Rifle Balls. FORNEY; Tex., June 24.—Express Mes- senger F. C. Cunningham was found mur- dered in bis car when the Texas Pacific | » west-bound Cannon Ball train reached here I to-night. His body was pierced by three rifle balls. The deed was done between Terrel and here, as he was alive at Terrel. There is no clew. Nothing was stolen from the car. e THE EPWORTH LEAGUE. Preparations for Its Second International Conference Completed. CHATTANOOGA, TEexN., June 23.—Pre- parations for the second international con- ference of the Epworth League, to be held here this week, are complete. The immense assembly tent, 35 by 185 feet, has been erected and the seats and platforms placed in it, The big canvas was originally the property of P. T. Bar- num’s circus, and under it the interna- tional convention of Y. P. S.C. E. con- ducted its session last year at Cleveland. The tent has a seating capacity of 10,000 people in the auditorinm, while 1000 sing- ers, composing the choir, occupy gallery seats raised above the broad dais for the visitors of honor. Over 100 representatives of the press will occupy seats on the plat- form. Distinguished Methodists from all over the United States and Canada are to be present. The feature of the four days’ session will be sunrise prayer-meetings, to be held every morning on Lookout Mountain, above the clouds. Homes have been secured for 15,000 people, the advance guards of whom are already beginning to arrive. The big tent was dedicated last night in the presence of fully 10,000 people. Con- ference Director Rowland D. Williams con- ducted the music, in which he was assisted by a chorus of fifty-three voices. Rev. W. A. Spencer of Philadelphia, missionary to India, preached the dedicatory sermon. ——— UNDERSTRONG SUSPCON William Starr Henry Denies Having Murdered His Father. The Police Clalm to Have Strong Circumstantial Evidence Against Him. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 24.—William Starr Henry, the accused murderer of his father, Charles W. Henry, the aged miser, spent his first Sunday in Raymond-street jail yesterday. He has now been in custody nine days, and as far as can be learned he has continued to assert his innocence. The police, however, have been hard at work weaving a chain of circumstantial evidence around him which they believe will con- vince every one of his guilt. A reporter had a long talk with Superin- tendent McKelvy this afternoon, in the course of which the Superintendent said that he had lcarned enough of the past life of William Henry to warrant him in believing that he could be guilty of al- most any crime. The Snperintendent intimated that William had expressed a hatred of his father of the most intense kind to some of his acqnaintances. *“We are looking for more of this sort of evidence,” continued the Chief, **but weare handicapped in a great measure by the general public sentiment in favor of the accused man. People are afraid to tell all brought up as witnesses. I expect, how- ever, that we will get more evidence against him.” “Then you have not changed your mind about his being the guilty party?” in- quired the reporter. “Indeed I have not; in fact I am strengthened in that opinion. I have found out some things which I will not give out, but I will tell you this, I am certain we have the right man.” ‘“Have you not thought that Walter's action since the discovery of the murder requires an explanation?”” was asked. “I wili not deny,” replied the Chief, “that some of his actions have been peculiar, but if you look into the history of the whole family for generations, as we have been doing, you would not regard Walter's actions as especially strange. In all my experience I never heard of a stranger family than the Henry family. Eccentric is no name for it. 1t readslikea romance. “Now,” continued the Chief, “we have found out this fact, that the most friendly relations. had always existed between Walter and his father. Another thing to be borne in mind is that Walter could have no real motive in getting rid of his father, while the pitter hatred that existed be- tween William and the old man would be a probable incentive for him to take his life.” In answer to a question, the Superin- tendent said that he had searched the hounse where Walter lives, but had dis- covered absolutely nothing to incriminate bim. He further stated that he had no reason to believe that Walter would be arrested. “There may be other arrests, but we do not intend to give out who the parties are,” said the Chief. ‘When asked if there was a woman in the case the Superintendent said it was notun- likely. He admitted that investigation was being made in that line, but declined to say whether any clews had been found which would lead to a suspicion that a woman was concerned in the murder. The police still have charge of the house at 95 South Portland avenue where the tragedy occurred. Applications for letters of administration in favor of Walter Henry will probably be made in the Surrogate’s Court. If the application is granted Wal- ter will immediately assume control of the property. — g T 4 WELL OF WHISKY. The Strange Discovery Made by a Penn- sylvania Farmer. SMITHTON, Pa., June 24.—While Silas Jones, a farmer living near this place, was dieging a trench in the side of a hill Satur- day he struck an abandoned well and de- tected the fumes of whisky. Digging through the walled sides he djscovered liquor trickling through the rocks. Tast- ing it he found it to be superior whisky. When he recovered from his surprise Jones procured a barrel to catch the drip- pings and suspended operations. To-day he will try and discover the source of the whisky spring. There are several distil- leries in Westmoreland County. Bome peopte think the whitky comes from barrels buried in the hiliside many years ago, when a distillery is said to have stood near where Jones discovered the spring. Other people think that General Brad- dock, while on his march to Pittsburg, hid the whisky as he passed near this place, and_being killed in an engagement with the Indians, the secret «fmfi. with him, One reason for this belief is the finding of a cannon ball that was turned up by Farmer Jones’ pick. This discovery caused great excitement over Westmore- land County. Many people came to Smith- ton to inquire about the spring and sample its yield. —_— Royal Baking Powder is the purest and highest in strength of any of the bakin mvzgremnd hence makes more, finer RELICS OF THE PAST, Results of the American Excavations in An- cient Greece. SUCCESS OF THE WORK. Dr. Waldstein Makes a Most Gratifying Report of His Labors, A BEAUTIFUL GREEK STOA. Its Destruction Was Hastened by the Falling of a Neighbor- ing Temple. NEW HAVEN, Coxx., June 24—Pro- fessor E. D. Seymour of the American school at Athens has just received a re- port from Dr. Waldstein, who is supervie- ing the excavations at the Heraion of Argo. Dr. Waldstein says that at the end of the present season the whole of the peribolos will have been excavated, including the buildings adjoining the ancient temples. During this season an immense quantity of dirt has been removed, and the work has been pressed with uncommon vigor and success. He quotes the Greek direc- tor of antiquities as characterizing the work at Argos ‘‘the model excavation of Greece. Dr. Waldstein also says that he will take immediate steps for securing for the American school the sole right to excavate in the immediate vicinity of the Heraion for the coming five years. Referring to the rich discovery of tombs last year Dr. ‘Waldstein says: “There are certainly many more of these near the Heraion. The two rock- cut chambers which we excavated were certainly rich tombs originally, though they were transformed in Byzantine times. Along the back of the rock upon which the old temples stood, and in the hellow slope above, such tombs may be found in great number. The method of discovering them is a simple one. Narrow trenches are dug along the whole sides of these rocks down to the soil. As soon as the picks strike worked earth the dromoa to the tomb is found.” Of the results of thisseason’s excavations at the stoa Dr. Waldstein writes: “AsI am now writing the building is quite clear. It is a beautiful stoa, with walls of most perfect Greek masonry, of which four and even five layers are stand- ing, all sound. Within three are nine Doric pillars. All the pillar bases are in situ; three have the lower drums, while one has two drums, the remaining ones, together with the capital, in good preserva- tion, having fallen. There are well-worked pilasters, one to each alternate piliar. The stoa is about forty-five meters long by about thirteen meters wide. It faces toward Argos, and a continual flight of steps leads up to it. The temple above it must have fallen in before this stoa was destroyed, as, especially in the western half, we found large drums of the columns from the temple, which had crashed through the roof. The flooring was there in parts, littered with fragments of marble from the roof, tiles and metopes, fragments of arms, legs, torsos and bodies, all from the high relief of the metopes and two well-preserved heuds, one quite per- fect, with portions of three others. This stoa is perhaps the best preserved of all the buildings we have, found, and ‘is cer- tainly one of the most imposing now in Greece. On the west of the stoa Dr. Waldstein found traces of a huge staircase covering the whole slope and leading up to the great platform of the temple, forming a magnificent approach to the sanctuary. He adds in this connection that the facings and the markings of certain parts of the structure in different directions corre- spond to the change from the Mycenean to the Argive supremacy. Jn further excavations Dr. Waldstein notes the discovery of walls of the Mycenean period, together with graves, vases and small objects. Outside of the boundaries of the temple he has found buildings of the Roman period, inctuding an extensive and complete system of Roman baths. Of the heads excavated Dr. Waldstein says that they correspond with those already found. They are worked in a vig- orous manner and are still of such careful execution that he hardly believes even those of the Parthenon can rival them in this respect. He regards the sculptures among the most important specimens of the art of the fifth century B. C. Altogether about seveniy-six baskets full of vases, terra cottas, bronzes, etc.,, have been collected and a number of Egyptian objects, including scarabs, brought out. On these Dr. Waldstein hopes the French Egyptologist at Athens can throw some light. There are several inscriptions, some of the Roman period, but in this respect the most important find perhaps of the whole excav- ation is a plaque about eight inches square with an inscription in the earliest Argive characters. - Dr. Waldstein closes his letter with an urgent appeal for the thorough and graphic publication of the results of the labor for four seasons at Argos and says: “AsIlook down from the upper plat- form of the old Homeric sanctuary, cver the excavated walls of the fifth century temple and buildings, beyond to the Roman baths, all rising clear out of the ground, and look over the fertile Argive plain, pregnant with great historic memo- ries, and realize that this is the national work of the youngest of the world’s civil- ized states, I am filled with deep gratitude that I should have been allowed to be an agent in the consummation of this noble work.” A Jetter received by Professor Sey- mour last Friday from Professor R. B. Richardson describes the work at Eretria. Besides almost completing the excavation of the orchestra of the newly found theater, Professor Richardson has laid bare a large building, in one room of which stood the tubs of the “city laundry” found last year. It appears to have been a gymnasium, with floors of differentkinds of pavements, and another row of tubs. In this building were found three heads, one a very fine one of an archaistic bearded Dionysos, almost the counterpart of one in Athens; another, representing the best art of all, probably of the fourth century, the right side of & woman’s head, with one eye and the forehead intact. The finds include three inscriptions: One of fifty lines, probably an honorary decree of the q:q cfntury. BI. C.; two sil- ver coins, one probably of 500 B. C., bear- ing an archaistic head, probably of Zeus or Herakles, and on the reverse a trireme; also stamped tiles, two terra-cottas and a fragment of a vase with a name printed upon it. Professor Richardson also says he has laid bare still another important building with many marble and terra-cotta trim- mings. CRUSHEL TO A JELLX. Fatal Accident to a Workmen in a Tannery. LANCASTER, Pa., June 24.—A peculiar and shocking accident occurred to-day at the large tannery of Groesinger’s Son when George Schoenberger’s head was literally crushed toa jelly before the eyes of several horritied fellow-workmen. Schoenberger is a boiler-maker and, with other employes of Best's Boiler Works, was engaged in placing the huge new seven-ton boiler in place in the tannery, The immense cylinder rested on blocks over the boiler pit, when Schoenberger and seven other men started to lower it. He was standing in the pit close to a brick wall. The men raised the boiler several inches and one of the blocks was pulled out. Schoenberger attempted to escape by dropping to the bottom of the pit, where he would have been protected by the blocks, but the boiler rolled toward him when it fell and his head was caught between it and the brick wall. His head was & shapeless mass. SALISBURY 1S TINID, Continued from First Page. of the outgoing Government as a condition to his taking office they will be refused. Editorially the Daily News will say: “If Salisbury demands terms from Lord Rose- bery we trust the impudent request will be met with a peremptory refusal. If Lord Salisbury refuses to accept office he will place himself in the Iudicrous and con- temptible position of one willing to wound, yet afraid to strike. The fact is Jo- seph Chamberlain has got Lord Salisbury in a mess, and the latter now calls upon Lord Rosebery to help him out of it. This is not Lord Rosebery’s business. Lord Salisbury must either pluck up courage to face responsibility like a man, or exhibit a | spectacle of impotence and poltroonery, from which he will surely shrink.” The Standard (Conservative) will to- morrow say: ‘“We understand that Lord Salisbury has conditionally consented to take office, and will proceed to form a Ministry. The official announcement of his acceptance will be delayed pending ne- gotiations between the party leaders on both sides in regard to the winding up of business in the House of Commons previous to dissolution. Assurances have been ed from the Liberal leaders that will discourge obstruction to the appropri- tion bill, which itis absolutely necessary should be passed before the dissolution of the House. “The Liberal leaders have also been asked to assist generally in winding up the business of the House. We understand that, while the Liberals are willing to as- sist in granting the necessary supply, they will not give any assistance as regards the future business of Parliament.” MORGAN'S VIEWS. Says Salisbury’s Foreign Policy Is Tikely to Be a Liberal One. WASHINGTON. D. C., June 24.—Sen- ator Morgan of Alabama, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, was asked to-day as to the effect of the ac- cession of Lord Salisbury and his party to power in England upon some of the diplo- matic matters now under consideration. “Of eourse it will have no direct or im- mediate effect in this country,” said he, “but in an indirect way it would influence all of those subjects in which this country and Great Britain have been involved. ‘‘Lord Salisbury is not only a statesman, but a great statesman, and he will bring to the consideration of all foreign ques- tions complete information and a liberal and a prudent policy. For that reason his formation of the Ministry will doubtless have an influential effect upon the Bering Sea question. He understands that sub- ject thoroughly, and it wus through him that the present arrangement was effected. He devised the plan for protecting the seals on broad and liberal lines, as it was to the interest of the people in England almost as much as in this country to see that those valuable animals were not ex- terminated. To that end his first arrange- ments with Mr. Bayard were thoroughly satisfactory; but Canada stepped in the way, and it was impossible to execute the policy which had been devised. “Under the Rosebery Ministry Canada has had a controlling influence in all Ber- ing Sea affairs, and asa result there has been little breadth or liberality in the pol- icy he pursued. The Canadian policy is due to a desire to gain favor with the peo- ple in the Canadian province on the Pa- cific, without much reference to the gen- eral merits of the question. But with Salisbury at the head of the Ministry Canadian polities will not be so much a factor.” The Senator was asked as to Lord Salis- bury’s general foreign policy on such ques- tions as Venezuela, Nicaragua, Hawaii, etc., and he replied : “Although nominally a Conservative he is liberal in his general foreign policy. He believes that Great Britain already has a vast territory, and that her best interest lies in looking well after what she has in- stead of reaching out for more. It has been noticeable through Rosebery’s admin- istration that he has reached out constant- ly and sought further acquisitions. He has gone into Madagascar, where the Eng- lish have come into conflict with the French. “An arbitrary tone has been ssumed as to Venezuela. Under Rosebery the British have occupied Corinto, and in the ul- timatum which has been given to Nica- ragua it yet remains to be determined what course Great Britain will take con- cerning Chief Clarence of the Mosquito Territory. The same spirit of acquisition was noticeable under Rosebery as to Ha- waii, where an effort was made to secure a cable landing on Neckar Island. But the general policy of Salisbury is not of that nature. It tends more to the development of what Great Britain already possesses, and to that extent I think it may have a favorable influence on pending questions.’’ ANT1-PARNELLITE aPPEAL. It Is to Be Made to the Irish People for an Election Fund. LONDON, Exa., June 24.—A meeting of the anti-Parnellite members of the House of Commons was held this evening. Justin McCarthy presided. It was resolved to ap- peal to the Irish people for an election fund. A manifesto will be issuea to-mor- row. An appeal will also b made to the Irish in Canada, the United States and Australia. Whenever a baking powder is sold either wholesale or retail at a lower price than Royal it is made from inferior ingredients m-omhllvl from alum, and is to be avoided under all circumstances. A BAN ON MARRIAGES, One Peculiar Effect of the Demonetization of Silver. DUE TO FALLING PRICES. Senator Stewart Says Men of No Income Dare Not Be- come Benedicts. FACTS TO PROVE THE CLAIM. A Steady Decrease in the Number of Marriages in Late Years. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24.—Sen- ator Stewart of Nevada advances the pro- position that the demonetization of silver will not only reduce the number of marri- ages in the future, but that it has already done 50 to an alarming extent. He pro- duces statistics to support the truth of this utterance. “The reason,” the Senator continued, ‘‘is obvious. From the landing at James- town until fifteen years ago, the only ques- tions asked of a young man proposing mar- riage were: Is he honest, industrious, intel- ligent and of good character? If these were affirmatively answered theconsentof the parents was ordinarily given. The ques- tion now is, Has the young man a fixed income? The possibility of his making a living for himself and family by his in- dustry is regarded as too remote for con- sideration. “Why is this? Are not young men suc- ceeding to-day in business enterprises as well asin the past? Not at all; there is not one succeeding to-day where 100 suc- ceeded halfa century ago. You ask the cause; it is due to falling prices. If a man isin business he is unable to dispose of the fruits of his labor to an advantage. On the contrary, the more he struggies and en- gages in business the more continually do vrices fall. Thousands of men are renting farms to-day who were owners some years ago, and who were forced to abandon the position of owners because of their in- ability to pay the taxes. “From 1810 to 1850 the Spanish-Ameri- can wars bad reduced the output of pre- cious metals to $40,000,000 annually. The United States was peculiarly situated. The Mississippi Valley offered opportuni- ties for making homes which did not exist elsewhere. Immigration from Europe built up this country while the public lands were being distributed so that the United States did not feel the partial money famine in the first half of the century, as other countries did. As the public lands became scarcer, gold from California and Australia kept up prices and en- abled young men to buy lands or establish business enterprises by their integrity. Now the lands are gone and contraction has come and falling prices have cut off the opportunity of the masses. The few who deal in money are the only ones who are now able to support their wives.’’ “What becomes of those who cannot afford to marry ?"”’ he was asked. ““They live,”” replied the Senator, “on their parents or go into servitude. Women are seeking employment in stores as types writers and as upper servants. They must do something; they can’t afford to marry.” “What will be the effect of this upon our population?” “The effect will be to reduce the popula- tion. The census of 1890 showed a falling off in the increase of our population snd the census of 1900 will accentuate this de- crease, The number of marriages have de- creased from 25 to 40 per cent during the last five years. These figures may not be exactly correct, as I am speaking from memory, but they are approximately so.” The conversation from this point drifted from sociology to politics, and Mr. Stew- art, asked if he would hazard an opinion as to the probable action of the Kentucky convention to-morrow upon the money question, replied: “I would rather not express an opinion. Senator Blackburn is very popular in Kentucky, and three-fourths of the people are with him. I know personally that some of the gold delegates desire his re-election. The money power in Kentucky, as elsewhere, is so strong that it makes the result in that State doubtful, The press, the banksand the railways have a combination in support of gold dollar. It is, I admit, a great power. The press will only publish the golden side of the question, the banks furnishing the money to assist them and the railways carry their people to conventions free of charge. Our fight, in the face of such op- position is a fearfully one-sided one.” “What action will the Republican Na- tional Convention next year take upon the money question?” “The position of that party was clearly outlined at Cleveland last week. They will fill their platform with juggling phrases calculated to befog and deceive the people and nominate a straight-out gold candidate. The Democratic Convention of next year will not be so easily eon- trolled by the gold men. The ma- jority of Democrats are bimetallists, which is another term for free coinage. The Southern pevple are overwhelmingly favorable to the white metal. Yes, already the influence of the gold standard is seen in that section. Quite recently they have gained control of the Nashville American, the Birmingham Age-Herald and ten or a dozen other papers. This shows that they are beginning an active propaganda in the South, the end of which no man ean fore- see.”’ “Why don’t the silver people commence a similar propaganda in the East?” “To do this requifes time and money and a friendly press. Unfortunately we ‘possess neither.’’ Protection from all alum baking powders can best be secured by the consumer look- ing carefully at the label, and Ceclining to accept any substitute for the well-known, well-tried Royal, which all public tests show to be absolutely pure and wholesome. ——————— BANDED FIREBUGS. They Are Said to Exist in All the Large Cities. BOSTON, Mass., June 24.—Steve Rosen- baum and Kirshkoff of the gang of fire- bugs that the New York authorities have in custody have been working about Bos- ton, according to Fire Marshal Whitcomb, who says: ““We got wind of Rosenbaum and Kirsh- koff being in that case in Lynn in which, in conjunction with a tailor named Cohen, they set fire to his place. Some time after this Lynn fire I noticed that Rosen- baum had been arrested in connection with a fire in New York. In his confes- sion he says he had been doing some jobs in Massachusetts. That gave us the tip at once, and we learned that Rosenbaum, Cohen and Kirshkoff had put up the job to burn Cohen’s place. We had Kirshkoff brought on, and took his confession. ‘“As usual, the confederates had sworn that the one who would betray the plot should be killed. It seems that the others discovered that Rosenbaum was a traitor, and when he went to light the fire in Lynn the others locked the door on him and ex- pected he would be killed in the explosion. He escaped with his face lacerated. Cohen ran away, and, as we had promised Kirsh- koff immunity from prosecution if he con- fessed, no one was brought to justice for that crime. s *I know that a syndicate of professional firebugs has been at work in New York for ten years, and it is safe to assert that there are half a dozen more besides this one that has just been discovered. They are in Chicago, too, and in all the large cities.” ——— GRESHAM'S WILL IN COURT. The Schedule Filed With It Shows an Estate Valued at $51,000. CHICAGO, ILL., June 24.—Judge Kohl- saat yesterday received for probate the will of the late Walter Q. Gresham, Secre- tary of State. By its terms the property, real and personal, is bequeathed to the widow. The document shows that Gen- eral Gresham had prepared it with partic- ularity, as it bears no erasures of any kind wupon it., The schedule of property owned by General Gresham showed that he was worth $51,000 at the time of his death. Of this $40,000 is in real property and the balance in per- sonal effects. The other heirs are Otto Gresham, the son, and Kate Gresham Andrews, the daughter. In mak- ing proof of heirship it was said that a son named Walter died when he was ten months old. Colonel John 8. Cooper was accepted as surety upon the executors’ bond, together with the widow. POLITICS 1N KENTUCKY The Democratic Convention Promises to Open With a Big Fight. The Contest for Governor Lies Be- tween Cassius M. Clay Jr. and P. Watt Hardin, LOUISVILLE, K., June 24.—To-mor- row’s State Democratic Gubernatorial Con- vention will start out with a fight. It will begin with the temporary organization, and however it may terminate the chair- man will be a gold-standard bearer. The Hardin men, although Hardin is a free- silver advocate, will put up Judge William Beckner of Winchester, a gold man, for temporary chairman, while the Clay fol- lowers will select for the place W. J. Stone of Lyons County. This afternoon the con- vention to nominate a Railroad Commis- sioer for the Second District met. There was little that was significant about it. The office of Railroad Commissioner pays but $2000 a year. George H. Alexander was the choice of the convention. To-night the rotundas of the hotels are full of delégsates, and they are still coming in. All the candidates for gubernatorial honors have opened headquarters, but it is now 'conceded that the fight is between two only—Cassius M. Clay Jr. of Bourbon County and P. Watt Hardin of Franklin County. Both claim their nomination to- morrow on the first ballot, but it is alleged that should the Hardin men fail to win on the first ballot they are beaten.
