INSPECTOR BYRNES CONFIDENT THAT
FRENCHY NO. I Is THE MAN.
buod stains found in the room
" 118 OCCUPIED ACROSS THE HAIL
FROM WHERE CARRIE DROWN
WAS MURDERED.
New York, May a.Inspcctor
Byrnes is pretty certain that he has
the American Jack the Ripper, the
man who killed Carrie lirown, known
as Shakespeare, just a week ago to
night. The man turns out to be
Frank Sherlick, alias Frenchy No i
who was arrested on Friday night, less
than twenty four hours after commit
ting the crime, and who has been un
der lock and key ever since. On the
night the murder was committed
Frenchy No' i occupied room 1 1 in
the Fourth Ward Hotel with a wo
man by the name of Mary Ann Ixpez.
This room was across the hall from
that occupied by the woman Brown
and her unknown companion. From
information in the possession of the
police it appears that the murdered
woman's companion had left her some
time before I o'clock on Friday morn
ing. Frenchy No. i had been at one
time a lover of the old woman, but for
some reason had become insanely jeal
ous of her. lie heard her companion
leave the room, and shot try .afterwards
he got up, and leaving his room-mate,
Mary Lopaz, asleep, crossed the hall
and deliberately strangled and then
disemboweled his victim. This is the
story of the police. It is substantia
ted by the following facts.
HOW THE MURDER WAS COMMITTED.
When Frenchy No. i had completed
his murderous work he recrossed the
hall and entered room No. 33. In
that room he left the evidences of his
guilt When the police made their
investigation, traces of blood were to
be found on every side.
The only chair the room contained
was covered with blood, smeared over
it from the clothes the murderer wore,
he having sat down upon it when he
entered the room. The bed clothes
were found to be covered with blood,
the murderer some time during the
night having thrown himself upon the
bed. His stockings he having re
moved his shoes to do his bloody work
were soaked with blood, and his
clothing were also covered with blood.
On the walls and ceiling of the little
room many small spots of blood were
found, the man having evidently en
tered the room with his hands reeking
with blood, and in his desire to re-1
move it he had shaken and snapped
his hands and fingers, thus liberally
distributing the blood about the room.
When .the prisoner was searched at
the station house the police found
that the lower half of his flannel shirt
was fearfully bloody. On his shoulder
was a blood-stain, which looked as if
it had been made by the laying on of
a bloody hand. His hands showed
traces of the stain, but they had been
washed. Inspector Byrnes examined
his hands and finger nails, The latter
he carefully scraped and found plain
and distinct traces of human blood.
To positively establish the : fact the
scrapings and dirt found under the nails
were submitted to a chemical analysis.
j J . CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS.
It is hard to tell ju9t now how he got
out or when he got out of the hotel,
but when he did leave he seems to
have made no attempt to run away.
He remained in the neighborhood and
was caught only a few blocks from the
hotel. He was questioned closely and
asked to account for the blood on his
clothing. He first; started off in a
rambling story of how he had gone to
Jamaica, L. I., with a woman. He
said he had been locked up in the jail
at Long Island City, and upon his re
lease had got the blood on himself ac
cidentally. He told many stories, in
every one of which women figured.
All of the stories were investigated.
Some of them were partly true and
some of them were pure fabrications.
As far as the stories of the blood were
concerned, they were all false, arid
there was but one conclusion to arrive
at It was that Frenchy had killed
the woman. The blood found upon
him was subjected to microscopic ex
amination and found to be human
blood.
Frenchy's history is not very well
known. He has been in the habit of
working at anything that came along.
Occasionally he would get a job in a
bar room, but it never lasted tong, pe
cause the women patrons did not like
him. He is an Algerian, who talks
bad English and worse French. His
reputation in the ward is as bad as
possible.
The inquest on the murdered wo
man has been postponed until jviay 11

The Levy on Reading's Loans.
A DECISION OF THE COURT HOLDS
THAT THE STATE TAX MUST HE
PAID ON THE LOANS OF THE
COMPANY NOW HELD IN
1'ENNSVI.VANIA.
Judge Simonton of Harrisburg has
handed down an opinion in the case
of the State against the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company, and
appealed by the Company from a
statement of tax on loans, during t887
and 1888, made by the State's finan
aal officers. In the opinion, which is
long, the Court reviews the causes and
history of the various Reading loans,
and ascertains that there was $8,073,
930, on which interest was paid direc
tly by the defendant in 1887, and $i 1,
7. 33o. on which interest was paid
directly by the dciendant in 1888.
The Court concludes as follows:
"That the defendant is liable for tax
for 1887 and 18S8, on the above a
mounts which were held and owned
by residents of Pennsylvania. The
defendant is liable for tax for 1887 on
$10,624,000, the amount of its indebt
edness, evidenced by the general mort
gage loan of July 1, 1874, held in
Pennsylvania. It is liable for tax for
i888 on $11,275,000 of the general
mortgage loan July 1,1874, held in
Pennsylvania. It is liable for tax in
1887 and 1888 on $300,560 for each
year on Perkiomcn Railroad mortgage
stock held by residents of this State ;
it is liable for tax for 1888 on $13,26,
65 7 securities held by Brown Brothers
& Co., made up of income mortgage,
fiist series 5 per cent, consols, second
series 5 per cent, consols, the deben
ture loan of 1868, convertible loan of
1868; convertible loan of 1873, deben
ture loan of 1878, ant' deferred cou
pons and script held in Pennsylvania.
The Court further finds that the de
fendant is not liable on any part of its
indebtedness not held by residents of
Pennsylvania in 1887 and 1888. Judj
ment is given for the State in the sum
of $136,442.91.
Warpin- of Wood.
As lumber is now sawn, every board
but one will warp and curl up in the
process of seasoning The reason for
this is plain. If the board be sawn
from the side of the log the grain rings
of the wood lie in circles, which have
a greater length on one than upon the
other side of the board. A board cut
from the very centre of the log has
grain circles of equal length upon
each side, and will he perfectly flat
when seasoned.
When selecting the lumber for a
tool chest or some other fine job, pick
out boards that show they came as
near as possible from the centre of the
log. A method is in use which com
pensates for this tendency to curl in
seasoning. This is known as quar
ter sawing, and quartered oak, of
which so much is said at present, is
sawn by this process.
It consists of sawing out boards ra
dially from' the centre to the outside of
the log. Suppose a log be split into
four pieces, each of these pieces is
sawn diagonally, so that the grain
rings run through, instead of the cir
cles running into it, part way through
and out upon the same .side of the
board Woodworker.

The Notioei are all Right.
Visitors to the clerk's office of the
superior court who have occasion to
use the writing table that stretches
across the room have been startled
recently by large placards tacked about
two feet apart informing whom it may
concern ; that 1 "these inkstands" are
about the size of the average hat, and
are kept filled with ink, the warning
seems quite as gratuitous as it would
be to placard notices to people not
to walk off with a red hot stove.
A lawyer who took offense at
these notices got one of the office vet
erans in a corner the other day and
asked him if he did not think such a
notice was carrying a joke perilously
far. The veteran shook his head, and
in saddened tones thus answered :

The Seashore Season
READING S ROYAL ROUTE WILL MAIN
TAIN ITS SUPREMACY.
Atlantic City's popularity grows from
year to year and the approaching sea
son promises to be the greatest ever
known at this, the greatest of all sea
side resorts 1 he Reading Railroad,
whose superbly magrificent line be
tween Philadelphia and Atlantic City
has become famous throughout the
country as the "Royal Route to the
Sea," will continue to be the principal
and favorite means of getting to and
from the City by the sea. The Read
ing's superiority in equipment is. gener
ally conceded. Its chief advantage
consists in the fact that it has the only
double track line of railroad to Atlan
tic City. The importance of this can
not be overestimated. Not only does
it insure the absolute safety of passen
gers but it admits of quicker and more
reliable transit. Thr Reading's line
is also several miles shorter than any
other road to Atlantic City, and it
runs almost as straight as the crow
flies. The great "Seventy-five minute
Flyers" are the most talked of trains in
America. For beauty, elegance and
speed they are literally beyond rivalry
and those of our readers who visit At
lantic City should not fail to exper
ience the delight of a ride on one of
these matchless trains. The summer
schedule will comprise a larger num
ber of fast express trains than has ev
er heretofore been run on any line.
Trains will start at such frequent inter
vals that one can scarcely fail to catch
a "flyer" at whatever time he may de
sire to go. The spring time table now
in effect shows week day trains leaving
Philadelphia at 9.00 a. in., 2.00 and
4.00 p.m., with additional fast express
at 3.45 on Saturdays. Sunday morn
ing express leaves at 9.00 a. m. Re
turning trains start from Atlantic City
at 7 30 and 9.00 a. m., and 4.00 p. m.,
week days, 4.00 and 5.30 p. m. Sun
days. Beginning May 10th addition
al express trains will be run down at
5.00 p. m. week days and 8.00 a. m.
Sundays, and there will be more re
turning trains. The -'Royal Route's"
Philadelphia stations are at Chestnut
street and South street Wharves and
all Reading Railroad Ticket offices
have through tickets and baggage
checks for Atlantic City.
Just now the moths are so plentiful
it is well for housekeepers to bear in
mind that it is not the flying moth that
causes the trouble. The moth lays
from 18 to 140 eggs at a time- In
from three to seven days these hatch
out into little worms, which spin a tiny
case for themselves from the carpet,
fur or other material containing ani
mal substance in which they were laid.
All the damage is done in the thirty
six days from the time the eggs are
laid until the grub reaches us full size.
Two things are sure death benzine
spray and Paris green or any arsenical
preparation, but they are both so dan
get ous that few can use them. Cam
phor, or even camphor tar, are only
partially repellant to the flying moth
and have no effect whatever on the
grub, so that furs and garments may
be locked up with pounds of camphor
and when opened found eaten to piec
es. The benzine spray is the best
known preventive against moths, but
a light should not be brought in the
room where it has been used until it
has been well aired.
He Wasn't.
A man with a paint pot and brush
was at work on the front steps of a
house on Third street when a pedest
rian halted and called out :
"Hello !"So you are painting, eh ?"
The painter put aside his brush,
wiped his fingers on a piece of paper
and descended to the walk to reply :
"My friend, I am sorry for you, but
by keeping your eyes open and always
being prepared to dodge the fool killer
you may pull through."
"W-what do you mean ?"
"You asked me if I was painting ?"
"Yes "
"Well, I'm not. I'm gravel roofing
these steps. Can't you see the gravel?
Isn't the tar kettle right here ? Can't
you tell the difference between gravel
roofing and painting ?"
The other looked at him for half a
minute, sized him up as the biggest
man, and turned away with :
"Some folks can't be civil to save
their blamed necks 1 Go on with
