Now York, Nov. 2.- The death of
the wealthy William Marsh Kiee at his
Madison avenue apartment* on Sep
tember 23; tin- attempt of his New
York attorney. Albert. T. Patrick, to
cash checks for lurge amounts which
purported to l>e signed by the mil
lionaire; the refusal of one bank to
cash the checks drawn on it and th®
discover* by the bank officials that
Mr. Kiee was dead at the lime the
checks were presented; the subse
quent claim by Patrick that Mr. Kiee
had made him by will the trustee of
his estate, -vhioh amounts anywhere
from $3,000,000 to $8,000,000; the
charge of forgery both as regards the
checks and the will placed against
Patrick and Mr. Wire's valet, Charles
J'. Jones; the arrest of Patrick and
Jones and their lodgment in jail, have
kept New York interested for over a
month in what, by the developments
of yesterday, promises to become the
most celebrated of the many cele
brated crimes which the courts of this
city have been called onto investi
gate.
The first incident which led rp to
the climax was the fact disclosed on
Wednesday that Valet. Jones had been
taken to the district attorney's ollice
and the subsequent rumor that he
had made a confession to the author
ivies. Before the public had time to
learn if the report of a confession was
true, came the more startling news
that during the night Jones had in
his cell in the Tombs attempted sul
fide by cutting his throat with a pen
knife gi\en him, he says, by Attorney
Patrick, also confined in the Tombs,
and for the purpose of getting rid of
one witness to Patrick's alleged crime.
His crime, according to the confes
sion of Jor.es, parts of which the dis
trict attorney's office gave out. was
nothing less than the murder of Ihe
millionaire by Attorney Patrick and
the purloining of valuable papers re
lating to the estate. The taking off
of Mr. fiice. says Joncfe, was caused
by the internal administration of
some poison, supposedly mercury, and
the final application of a towel satu
rated with some anesthetic, pi • sum
nbly chloroform.
Jones also said. "After the body
had been laid out Patrick gathered
up all the letters.l was with him
and had as much as he to do with
lhat. He gathered up two watches and
all the money that was in the trunk.
Patrick selected such as lie wanted
from the papers. He told me that lie
wanted all the valuable paper. The
next day he returned and had with'
him bank books and check books. He
ha<l a number of blank checks. 'I
have some checks that 1 want you to
till out,' he said. One was tilled out
for $65,000 on S. M. Swenson «£ Sons,
one for. $25,000 on the Fifth Avenue
Trust Co. and one for $135,000 on f he
same company.
' He told me he had the right to
cash these checks before liice's uea'h
became known. He left at 8:30 or 0
o'clock and said he would telephone
me to dictate messages to be sent to
relatives and Maker, and to tell the
bank if it called up that the checks
were good. About *11:30 o'clock he
called me up and said: 'We've made
a bust of it.' He again loid me to tell
the bank that the checks were all
right. A brut ten minutes later Mr.
Wallace, of the Swenson bank, called
up and asked for Kiee. lie asked me
if the checks were in my handwriting.
1 toll him yes, if you send it up I will
correct it. That is how he explained
ihe spelling of the name Albert
'Abert' instead of correctly. Then he
told me to have Mr. Kiee come to the
telephone. I said '»'ery well,' and
rang off. Then I called up Patrick
and told him. He told me to tell
"hen. if tiiey called us up again that
Mr. Kiee was dead.
"Swenson came to the telephone
and he asked about itiee. I told him
that he was dead. Then he wanted to
know all about it.l told him he hatl
died at 3 the night before. Patrick
then called me up again and said.
* These people have kicked out of the
traces.' He then dictated to me the
message to be sent to the relatives.
The next day I saw Jour men hang
ing around the house. They came to
the house and said they were lawyers.
I telephoned Mr. Patrick about these
men and he told me not to let them
in.**
Mr. Osborne was asked what part
of the llice estate Jones had expected
to get. He said Jones told him Pat
rick assured him of being well cared
for. but had promised nothing more
definite. The estate, Mr. Osborne
said, is estimated at from $3,000,000 to
£8,000,000.
Attorney Patrick denies having fur
nished Jones the chloroform and also
denies the statements in the confes
sion.

Berlin. Nov. 2.—Considerable impa
tience at the meagerness of the news
from China is finding expression here.
The inference is that German censor
ship over such information is very
strict.
Letters from privates in China be
gin to find their way into the social
democratic papers, showing that the
German troops give no quarter. The
liremen Buerger Zeitung publishes a
letter from a soldier in l'ckin who
mid he witnessed the following
scene: "Sixty-eight captives, some of
them not yet adults, vere tied to
gether by their pigtails,beaten bloody
by the Germans, compelled to dig
their own graves and then sl.ot en
masse."
The Halberstadter Volks Zeitiniff
prints a communication from Pekjn
in which the writer says;
"No prisoners are taken. AM are
shot or, preferably, sabred to save
ammunition. On Sunday afternoon
we had to bayonet 74 prist ners. They
had killed one of our patrolmen. An
entire battalion pursued them and
captured 74 'tlive. it was cruel. It
was indescribable."
Last evening's papers printed a
semi-official statement thai answers
to the Anglo-German agreement had
been received from all the powers,
France and Kussia making a reserva
tion regarding Article 3 similar to
that made by the I nitcd States, anil
Japan making no reservations what
ever.
This result causes much satisfac
tion in official circles in Germany,
which emphasizes the contention that
Article 3 is divested of all importance,
inasmuch as all the powers have ac
cepted Articles 1 and 2.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 2. —The text of
the American, French and Russian an
swers to the note answering the A:i
--•jlo-German agreement on China are
now generally known here. They are
considered entirely similar in sub
stance, showing that these three pow
• is are in perfect accord.
Washington, Nov. 2.—The alignment
of the powers on the British-German
agreement is now complete. Aside
from Italy and Austria, whose adhe
rence to the agreement was expected,
owing to their political relations with
Germany, Japan is the only one of
'he powers which lias given uncondi
tional assent to the agreement. As
the matter now stands, five of the
powers aie united in all the terms of
ilie agreement, viz., Great Britain,
Germany, Italy. Austria and Japan;
three of the powers, I'nited States,
Prance and Russia, accept the clauses
relating to the open door and the tcr
i itorial integrity of China, but with
hold t>ction on the third clause relat
ing to future procedure in case any
power seizes territory.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER S, 1900.
HOPE LONG DEFERRED.
When Itlfhri Came at Lar t Georgt
Wedekind Had Lost Ilia Capao
it> for Kn joy went.
Luck, as it is interpreted in the
mining camp, has been emphasized in
the case of George Wedekind, of Reno,
Nev.
Years and 3'ears ago, when George
Wedekind was young, he went west
in a fever for gold. All up and down
the famed coast country of the Cali
fornias he wande:ed, bootless. The
gold was not for him. As the country
settled he drifted from town to town,
tuning pianos. It was his trade. He
brought his wife to Reno, finally, and
the two settled (.awn to the scant ex
istence that j.iano tuuing in a western
town afforded.
UNCOVERED A GOLD MINE.
(After Many Years Fortune Smiled on
George Wedekind.)
Wedekind was 72 years old when
one day he went hunting, tven the
game had suffered f'-om the civiliza
tion that had come to the state and
then gone to such measures as to
leave it a population less than it had
when admitted to the union. He was
discouraged with hunting and was re
turning moodily homeward. Climbing
down the siue of a bluff hi 3 foot
slipped—
And uncovered a gold mine!
He saw the unmistakable "color" in
the yellow earth and he staked right
and left. Reno awoke to a new gold
fever and the stakes were planted
everywhere that they had not been
driven before. One hundred thousand
dollars was bid for his first claim and
the old man and his wife are said to
be worth $1,000,000.
But long j'ears of hardship have dis
counted this great sum. Privation
and makeshift means to live have so
affected the old peopie that they have
little capacity for enjoyment of their
gTeat wealth. They live in the same
little house in the same frugal way
that they had lived for 30 years or
more. They have better food and
better clothes, but the old man's chief
pleasure is to "potter" around the
mine, while the wife sits with folded
hands looking across the alkali
plains, day-dreaming.
HIS RISE WAS RAPID.
Career of Connt Iluelow, Germany's
New Clmneellor, Considered
Phenomenal by European*.
Count Bernhard von Buelow, who
has crowned his rapid and brilliant
rise to political power and fame by
becoming the chancellor of Germany
in the place of Holienlohe-Schilling
furst, has the shortest career of any
of the great statesmen and uiplomats
of the world. At he finds himself
at a pinnacle of eminence reached by
others only after laborious and haz
ardous toil and Waiting. Von Buelow
until 1880 hai done no better than
serve as the secretary of embassy at
Rome, St. Petersburg and Vienna.
Until 1888 he had not reached the dig
nity of plenipotentiary, and he was
then made minister to the insignifl-

cant post of Roumania. In 1893 hs
was appointed to the mission to Italy,
where he remained several years. In
1897 Count von Buelow was selected
by the kaiser for the post of foreign
minister, and since that time he has
been the emperor's right-hand man.
During his ministry in tne foreign of
fice he has developed splendid capa
bilities in statecraft, which will have
the freest play should he succeed to
the station once occupied by Bis
marck.
American Salmon in Demand.
Another American product that is
already affected by the Chinese war
is canned salmon. Besides a shortage
of from 500,000 to 730,000 cases, as
compared with last year, the Jap

to feed its army.
BATTLING FOR LIFE.
Widow of Stonewall Jackson, Fa
mous Southern Hero.
fin* Recently I'ndergone an Opera
tion from Wlioae Result* She May
Not Recover—Hf r Home Life
ait Charlotte, N. t.
Rome weeks ago the widow of Gen.
Stonewall Jackson had a critical oper
ation performed in a Baltimore hos
pital, and her friends are afraid that
she will not recover from its effects.
Although now over 70 years old her
face, according to a Charlotte (N. C.)
correspondent of the Chicago Chron
icle, retains much of the beauty which
enthralled the then awkward, diffident
young military cadet from Lexington
when he first met her as Anna Mor
rison at the home of Gen. David Ilill.
Her black, luxuriant hair has few
traces of gray and her blac.i eyes are
piercing and lustrous still.
Since the death of Mrs. Jackson's
only child, Mrs. Christian, several
years ago, she has devoted her life to
her grandchildren, who reside with
her. Her home is a plain two-story
building on Trade street, Charlotte,
X. C. To the unpretentious dwelling,
however, a picturesque charm is given
by ivy and madeira vines climbing at
will about the veranda, violet bordered
walks leading to the hospitable door
way and stately magnolias casting
their luxuriant foliage over the whole.
Within is the refined atmosphere of a
typical southern home. In the draw
ing-room the most conspicuous object
Is a large oil painting of Gen. Jack
son. Portraits of other heroes whose
memories are still sacrsd in the hearts
of old confederates are also hung
everywhere upon the walls, inter
spersed with tattered flags and other
trophies of the lost cause.
Here the widow of one of the great
military geniuses of the world has
passed her peaceful days, busied with
her household duties or superintend
ing the education of her grandchil
dren.
In her "Life of Jackson" she said:
"The home of my girlhood was a
large, old-fashioned house, surround
ed by an extensive grove of pine for
est trees, on a plantation in Lincoln
county, N. C. My father was Rev.
Dr. Robert Hall Morrison, ths first
MRS. STONEWALL JACKSON.
fWldow of Famous Southern Hero Now at
Death's Door.)
president of Davidson college. He
was a graduate of the university of
the state, and of the same class as
President James K. Polk, Bishop
Green and others of note in church
and state."
Mrs. Jackson's mother was Mary
Graham, daughter of Gen. Joseph
Graham, of revolutionary fame, and
sister of Gen. W. A. Graham, who was
once secretary of the navy.
Mrs. Jackson was one of ten chil
dren, six daughters anu lour sons.
She spent much of her early life in
Washington with her uncle, Gen.
Graham. While on a visit to Lexing
""ton, Ya., she met her future husband,
then Prof. T. J. Jackson, whom she
married in July, 1857. Gen. Jackson
died in 1563, May 10, and left hit
widow and one child, a girl, Julia,
who was but a few months old. Tho
two and the skillful old nurse Hetty
returned to the Morrison home in
Lincoln county, where they lived a
quiet life until Julia was reany to en
ter college, when the mother and
child moved to Charlotte. After finish,
ing school Julia married E. Chris
tian, a talented newspaper man, now
in the service of the Seaboard Air line
railroad at Portsmouth, Ya. Airs.
Jackson lived with the young couple
in St. Paul, Minn., Minneapolis and
other western towns up to 1889, when
Mrs. Christian died, after which she
returned to her home in Charlotte
and brought with her Juiia and Jack
son Christian, her grandchildren.
Miss Christian, sister of Mrs. Jack
son's son-in-law, came to live with her.
Mrs. Jackson's Charlotte home is
very near the Southern railway sta
tion, where an aged Mexican war vet
eran who served under Jackson has
stood for years as guard. He took
great pride in guarding Mrs. Jacksor,
and lost no opportunity to point out
the house to strangers. The house is
a plain two-story frame building and
the yard is adorned by several beauti
ful evergreen trees. When at home
Mrs. Jackson lived a simple but pleas
ant life, surrounded oy her bright
grandchildren, who are now off at
school.
Mrs. Jackson spent part of every
year at Lexington, Ya., her health
permitting. It was there that she
spent her married lfe and where hci
husband and daughter are buried.
Mrs. Jackson is an ideal southern
lady of the old school. She is presi
dent of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy and regent of the Daughters ot
the Kevoluion.
ALTOGETHER TOO SHY.
Q,ueer Kirutr Given hy n Pretty Girl
for Wlidui tlir llrldrKroum Waited
Luna; in Vain.
Mary Pliska, shy as a chamois,
donned her wedding dress at her
home in New Britain, Conn., the oth
er evening and made all preparations
to accompany her parents to the cozy
little home that Michael Neidboler
had prepared for her and there to be
married to him.
Michael and his friends were wait
ing. It was to be an eventful mar
riage, for Mary was pretty and
Michael was popular. When the bride
and her parents were not on hand at
the appointed moment, the prospec
tive bridegroom was made the object
of jests, lie laughed with the jesters.
AND THERE HE FOUND MARY.
(Connecticut Girl Who Was Too Shy to Bs
Married.)
When five minutes had passed the
jests became more pointed and the
shafts of witticism sank deeper, but
still Michael laughed. When ten min
utes had passed, and then 15 minutes,
and then half an hour, Michael was
decidedly uneasy.
Then a messenger handed a note to
Michael. He suddenly left, without
giving an excuse, and went directly to
the home of Papa and Mamma Pliska.
They were in a state of great excite
ment.
They could not find Mary! She
had robed herself in her wedding
gown with her mother's
and then, when her mother left tc
put on her hat, Mary mysteriously
disappeared.
Michael thought deeply. At last h#
asked the parents if they had gone
to the home of a chum of Mary. They
hail not. liut they were sure she had
not gone there. Nevertheless, Michael
got into a carriage and drove rapidly
to the home of Mary's chum.
And there he found Mary—all
dressed in her bridal robes, with a
bunch of real orange blossoms in her
hair, crying her pretty eyes out.
Michael asked her why she had not
come to the house. She cried in an
swer. He asked her again; and then,
amid her sobs, she told him she had
feared to face the crowd that would
witness the ceremony.
Michael left without a word. He
drove back to his cottage, told the
guests what had happened and that
the wedding was off. Some of them
suggested that he take the priest to
the home of Mary's chum and be mar
ried there. But Michael told them he
did not care to marry a girl who had
insulted him before his friends.
And the marriage ceremony has
never been performed.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Encouraging Signs Noted itt
the Iron Industry.
BUYING HAS INCREASED*
Full Forces at Work in Eastern
Shoe Factories.
WOOL MARKET IMPROVES*
A Tendency Toward Better Price# for
Till* Staple I» Reported -The Cotton
market fiirlUliy Kecover* from ttio
He<'«ut Decline.
Now York, Nov. 3. —R. G. Dun <fc
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:,
Tiie period of suspense is nearly over.
Business has been longing for a free
lield in which to leap forward, but
restricted buying largely to wants
for immediate consumption. Some
evidence appears of willingness toi
take speculative chances in the move
ment of a few standard goods, nota
bly of iron and steel. The resump
tion oi operations in the anthracite
coal Hclds has added largely to til's
working force, and the closing down
of a few small steel plants is only in
the nature of concentrating opera
lions at n.ore advantageous points
and has not much reduced the num
ber of men employed.
Knc.ouraging signs multiply in tha 1 -
iron industry. Strength in Bessemer
and grey forge at Pittsburg shows
ihat the recent increase in activity of
finished forms has at last affected the
market for raw material. Improve
ment in domestic buying of pig is the?
more noticeable because of decrease
in exports. Structural shapes con
tinue in urgent request, plates ad
vancingl with active demand frorr*
shipbuilders and with talk of a pool
1o sustain the price. Bar iron would
Fell readily at former prices, but hold
ers grow stubborn.
Full forces are employed at Newji
England shoe shops, and heavy orders
insure brisk work for the rest of the
year. Textile operations are more
vigorous, sales of wool at the three
<hie? eastern markels exceeding all
recent records. With the greater ae-.
livit.v there appears a tendency to»
ward firmer prices.
Cotton has recovered a little of the
jecent sharp decline, attributed to re
ports that frost would surely do seri
ous damage. The market does not
show much fear of disaster and there
is more reason to believe that the
slight advance was induced by better
] urchases of spinners, who v. ere at
-1 racted after the fall of S7.SO a bale iri
less than three weeks. There was
also some recovery in wheat.

New York, Nov. 3. —On the author
ity of an "intimate friend of the lata
Jay Gould," the Evening World an
nounces that the debts of Count Boni
De Castellane will be paid in full by.
the Goulds at once. "The scandal at
tending the claims, amounting to
$4,700,000, against the spendthrift
husband of Countess Anne is to be
stopped," the Evening World adds*
"A lump sum probably will be con

Edwin and Frank Gould to wipe out
these debts, as they consider the
honor of the Gould family is involv
