A Uelerea Weaaea Believe te Me dalll
ef the Dreeefell Otlate.
At a late hear Monday afternoon It looked
aa If the Mean's Poed mystery waa apea the
point of being solved. The day has been eaa
of bard and moment work for Chief nfDe
teetivse Kelly and Detectives aeyer, Craw
ford, MUler and Tate. A large number el
colored people were Invited " te visit the
Central efflce," Philadelphia, and Chief
Kelly slowly but surely forged bis chain of
evidence.
The event of tbe afternoon was the volun
tary appearance of Mrs. Mary Tabbe la Bd
dlagtcn, and her advent created a sensation.
MraTabbs Is the colored woman who lived at
Mr. Geerge Breek'e beuse, near Cernwrlls,
and waa said te bave disappeared. Mrs.
Tabbe while at Mr. Broek's waa assisted by
her niece, Annie Richardson, the young
woman with whom she and Geerge Redding
waa acquainted.
Seme people supposed thst Mrs, Mary
Tabbe was the mysterious colored woman
who visited Kddingten en tbe eventlul
Wednesdsy night last, and who la ae much
Bought after by the autherltlee of Bucks
county and thoseef I'btlsdelpbla. Mrs, Tlbbe
Is a tall, rather slender mulatto, with promi
nent leaturee. On Msy 23 last Annie Richard -eon
disappeared Irem Mr. Breek'e house and
it was said that all efferta todlseoverber
have proved unavailing. Mra, Tabbe, aeelng
her name mentioned In the newspapers, re
solved te visit Eddlngten In order te learn
what abe could about the matter.
WHAT MRS. TAB BS B A TN.
Mra. Tabbe, questioned concerning tbe
tragedy, eald :
"I don't like te aav that there la any con
nectien between the murder and anddeu dl
appearance of my niece. 1 never could un
derstand wby Annie ran away. Ou the
night when abe went away Geerge Redding
did notceme te supper, and the reason that
I remember It la because he was always very
prompt at his meals. In Jsnusry last a
young man named Jehn Wilsen came te my
beuse and asked me if I had beard from
Annie, and when I told that I bsd net
heard from her, he said that he knew that
aha waa llvlna In Jenklntewn. I then told
blm that I would lve htm 'l If he
could lled her, and he replied tbat be
would aee about It. Later In the week he
came te my heuw with Walte Galnee,
with whom be seemed quite friendly. Wil Wil
eon, when Galnee waa out of hearing, told
me that Annie needed clothes and money
for her fare, and that If I could furnlah tbem
he would bring her te me en the following
Sunday. I then gave blm forty cents, come
clothes and a bat and be went away, promis premis
ing that he would bring Annie en tbe follow
ing Huuday. (lalntm, when he wss gene,
seemed te b very Jtwleua of Annie, and be
aalced raejf Wllanu was going with Annie. I
told blm that 1 knew nothing about It, and
tbat all I wanted was my niece. But neither
Wilsen nor my niece turned up nn Sunday.
"One day I caught sight of Wilsen In a
cigar store and aakud him what had become
olAnnle. tie seemed te lie very much con
fused aed told me that tbe reason she did
net oeme wss because abe was sick. I then
said te him, Jehn Wilsen, If you don't give
me back my money and clothes I'll have you
arrested. A week later, en a Sunday, I
think, be came te ray beuse and rang tbe
deer bell, but 1 was out, and a girl who livee
next deer told me that he stuck a letter
under the deer and went away. I afterward
found tbat it was a letter addressed te Walte
Galnee, and supposed te bsve been written
by Annie, but I knew that It wss In Walte
Galnee' handwriting- The letter supposed
te be from Annie, said thai the writer wss
tired of life, and thst all her frlende bad
gene back ou bnr, and that she waa going
away te some place where her frlends would
net find her. This is the last 1 beard of
Annie, Walte Gaines or Jehn Wilsen.
"Gaines has been mlailng from tbe house
where he bearded Ter the but lew days, but
1 hear that en Saturday be wrote that be
would be back te-day. Something telle me
tbat this myatery Is In some wsy mixed up
with these three people."
It became known thst tbe mytery waa all
but solved. Mrs. Hannah Mary Tabbe waa
arreeted at the II read street station at about
half-past fire p. in. en her return from
Kddingten by Detectives Miller and Tate,
and will be granted a preliminary bearing
te day befere Magistrate Smith, at tbe Cen
tral eltlca Mm. Tabbe Is suapeeted of mur
dering White Galnee, whose body, headless
and llinblesa, is said te be tbe one found In
Mann's pond en Thursday morning last.
Tills step was brought about by the fact
that the detectives discovered that a young
man named Walte Gaines had been missing
for about u week. Watte Galnea had been
bearding with a Mrs. Williams, at Ne. 207
Scbell street, Philadelphia. He had a alater,
Mrs. Jennie Cannen, living at Ne. 1,018
Lemen street, and it was indirectly through
her Instrumentality that tbe arrest of Mrs.
Tabba was caused.
Mrs. Cannen baa been very mueh excited
ever since the newspapers tlrat spread the

Tba tobacco buyers bava had a rather hard

Urge numbers and want te buy new aeed

hate bean and are ae abominably bad that
timid buyers fear te plunge Inte aleugha
which in some piaeee are nun-ueep wiib

hesitate te take tbe country reads, and con
tent themselves by keeping te the macada
mised turnpikes radiating In all directions
from Lancaster.
Nevertheless a great deal of new tobacco
haebeea bought this week, and very con
siderable quantities' bava bean received at
the warehouses. Skilea A Frey received
126,000 pounds 1 est week and some ether pack
ers a scarcely less quantity. Thus far but little
attention appears te be paid te Havana seed,
tbe demand being almost exclusively for
seediest. They are paying prleea all tha
way from 6 te 10 cents through, and for oeme
choice Ieta higher figures. Seed leaf wrap
pers while net in much demand bava sold at

Frem the U. 6, Tobacco Journal.
Business continued very active, reetrieted-
only by the lack et suitable or unsuitable
stock j buyers are net at all as fastidious aa
they were a month age, and a white vein
here and there, or a solitary thick leaf among
a score or thin ones, or a greenish shade, a
trifle light, a wee bit dry, are no longer any
cause for rejecting parcels with contempt
There is an Instance cited even, that, en Mon
day last, a buyer Inspected several lou,assort leu,assort lou,assert
Ing tbem with his feet, and bought the goods
at asking figures without fuss and ado. A
wonderful change has come ever the market,
but illustrated by tbe haughty expression of
an old leaf dealer te tbe etfdat that once mere
he leels like a "merchant." Anether illus
tration of the changed condition of thing Is
the studied secrecy with which most transac
tions are completed and kept from reaching
tbe outalde world. People who have bought
and sold are eager te buy again, and natur
ally de net exactly long rnr a publicity mat
might luereaae figures. Nevertheless, It la
evident tbat a big business Is being done all
around, and, as was said befere, only the
lack of stock formed a barrier te still greater
business.
All aed everything points toward great
prosperity in the leaf market during the
year.

various parts of tbe empire that no reliable

and at Luebeck the balletjitands between a So

a very amall majority which la accounted for
by the extraordinary strength of the Social

names appear en the bulletin beards, while
every increase in the government
vote Is greeted with hisses and
groans, A few street fights have
tended te enliven the scene around the news

any aerleus outbreaks. The whole police
force bad been called out,but no unlawful pro pre
ceedlngs have se far been reported. Tbe
eiectlena were favored by propitious weather
which brought out an unusually large vote.
Prince Bismarck, together with all tbe min
isters, took a lively interest in the dsyrs pro
ceeding and waa the cynosure et all eyea
at many of tbe polling places.
The rumors that the Liberals bsve suffered
severe losses are constantly increasing and
are augmented by returns which are favor
able te the government Eugene Ricbter
published a bulletin at midnight in wbieh be
declares that the general result ortbeelectlen
shows an immense Increase In the Socialistic
vote and tbat mere than a dczen supplemen
tary elections are necessary for a majority
between tbe Liberals and National Liberals.
Supplementary election will be called by
the commissioners of elections about tbe be
ginning of next week. In all cases
where tbe election reats between tbe
Liberals and the National Liberals tbe
former will undoubtedly be victorious, as tbe
Socialists who bold the balance et power will
