EE ————— Confesses He Murdered His Aunt. Drawn back to the scene of his crime by a force he could not resist, August Eberhard, the self-confessed murderer of his aunt, Mrs. Ottillie Eberhard, a Vienese widow, whom he lured to a lonely spot in New Jersey a few days ago and shot to death, was captured near Paterson, N. J. and is now a prisoner in the Hackensack jail. What interested the authorities most in the confession Eberhard made to them was the reason he gave for com- mitting the crime. Eberhard said that be was in love with a New York girl, and that he needed money to marry her, and so, knowing that his aunt had $2500, he plotted to kill her and steal the money. Eberhard says he also in- tended to kill his pretty cousin, Ottillie Eberhard, to whom he was engaged, so that nothing would stand in the way of his marriage to the New York girl The police have the name of the girl mentioned by Eberhard, and she will be brought to Hackensack to tell what she knows of the murderer. When Eberhard was searched not a panny was found in his pockets. He said that he had buried the money he stole from his aunt. He led the detec- tives to a tree near Little Falls, and there dug up a bundle of bills. There was $2500 in the bundle, which was the amount that was stolen, as the murderer left a small amount of money in the bosom of his aunt's waist, so as to give the impression that she had not been robbed. Oil Trust's Big Fine Set Aside. Following the unanimous decision of Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker, who compose the United States cir- cuit court of appeals at Chicago, re- versing and remanding the case of the government against the Standard Oil company, of Indiana, in which case Judge Landis in the district court had imposed a fine of $29,240,000, the fed- eral attorneys announced that the gov- ernment had thirty days within which to file a petition for a rehearing, and that it would be filled within the allot: ted period. In the case that was re versed the Standard Ofl company, of Indiana, was found guilty of accepting rebates on shipments of oil from its refinery at Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, Ill. Judge Landis fined the com: pany $20,000 on each of 1462 counts, each count representing a carload shipment, The opinion of three judges of the higher court leaves little of the con: tention that each carload constituted a separate offense. Even the various shipments, of which there were about 500, could not be considered as sep arate offenses under the ruling of the court of appeals. The maximum fine on this basis would abount to $720,000 and the minimum $36,000. It is said that $223,000 is the total amount the Standard Oil company is alleged tc have received as rebates on the ship ments in question. Three Killed In Dynamite Explosion. Three men who were blasting rock at the Summit cut-off of the Cumber land Valley raliroad, near Shippens burg, Pa., were killed as the result of a premature explosion, while two oth: ers were probably fatally injured and ten seriously hurt. The dead are: Michael Maloy, aged thirty-five; Edward Butler, aged thirty: seven, and John London. The accident occurred through the carelessness of Maloy, who, contrary to the orders of William T. Shaw, field engineer of the cut-off work, who was placing a fifty-pound charge of dynamite with an iron rod without a wooden end. It is supposed a spark was created by the fron, thus setting off the dynamite. The dead and injured were hurled in all directions and some were buried beneath piles of stones. Norman Mack to Run Bryan Campaign Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, an old friend of William J. Bryan and true to the Nebraskan in all his political bat tles, will manage the Democratic na tional campaign, and Henry Watter son, the Kentucky editor, will have charge of the press bureau.

Guffey, of Pittsburg, as the leader of the Democracy of Pennsylvania in spite of steps taken against him at Denver, and while en- dorsing the candidate on the national ticket voiced in strong terms disap provai of the unseating of the Pennsyl- vania delegates. The adherents of Kerr offered no op- position even to the resolutions, which, while endorsing Bryan's candidacy, de- nounced the action of the convention which nominated him, for throwing out legally elected Pennsylvania delegates, and also lauded Colonel Guffey and recognized him as the legally elected national committeeman and tie real leader in Pennsylvania.

Just before the bolt that killed Gar- ber had succeeded in its errand of death, the corporal had been leaning against a stack of rifles, talking to Lieutenant J. K. Parson, Company A, Tenth regiment, in charge of the guard house. Parsons was only severely stunned. Every gun In the long rack was knocked into fantastic shapes. The buttons on Garber’s coat were brightly burnished by the lightning, except two, which were melted. His watch stopped at 9.26, marking the exact time of his death, Private Barbe was instantly killed in his company tent. When the bolt that killed the three soldiers came flashing along, Shristley and Sergeant Morrison, with their wives, were sitting in Christley’s tent. All four were thrown violently to the ground. Christley's coat was rent into shreds. An alto horn was twisted out of all semblance of its original shape. Death of Bishop Potter. Henry Codman Potter, seventh Pro- testant Episcopal bishop of the diocese of New York, died at Fernleigh, his |~ summer home at Cooperstown, N. Y., after an illness of several weeks. The end was peaceful and quiet. The pre- late was seventy-four years oid. Death was due primarily to embol- ism of the right leg, following a long attack of liver and stomach trouble, and the end had been foreseen for several days by the bishop's physi- cians. Bishop Potter suffered a severe relapse Monday, and though oxygen was given, his decline was gradual, and he sank into unconsciousness, which lasted until the end. Cripple Shoots Two In Quarrel. Frank Paddaux, twenty-eight, was shot and killed, and Bert Bland, aged twenty, probably fatally hurt at Want- Y-Glo, near Johnstown, Pa., by Chester Gibson, nineteen years old, a cripple, who stated in the Ebensburg jail that he did not remember the shooting. It is said that Paddaux and Gibson had been drinking, and, meeting Bland, re- quested him to buy some sandwiches. A dispute followed the young man's re- turn with the food, and Gibson shot Bland. In attempting to get posses- sion of the revolver, Paddaux was killed. Gibson was later arrested by Constable Bland, father of the injured man.
