A reporter of the Intblmubncbr received
an tallmatlen lew days age that thtrs ware
raprofrsMef development certain events,
whleb, when culminated, would atartle tbe
community. He kept a sharp lookout en the
movements of certain officials who were
working en the ctuee and finally by a hint
dropped was able te learn facta, whleb, If

tragedy about te be related, four men and
one woman. Three are charged with murder
and robbery, one with accessory before and
after the fact te these crime, and the flflb,
the woman, will In all probability be ueed as
a wltnees te tauten tbe crime en tbe remain
In four.
The blitery of tbU crime date back te
August laat. Oa tbe morning of Auguat 26,
Geerge Dennis, an old man, a bachelor, waa
found dead at the heuae of Eby Rudy, near
Barevllle. Dennle bearded with Rudy for
eeme time prier te that data lte waa tee
owner of iractleue horse and It wa hit habit
te ateep In the atable where the hone waa
kept On the night of August 27, according
teHudy'a story, Dennis slept for tbe first
time In a bed at his beuse and the neat
morning waa found dead.
Tbe records enew that Deputy Corener F.
H. Burkbelder held an Inquest en August
38th. The Jurer were J. W. DUlerman,
Martin D. neat, Isaac Hoever, Ablltb D.
' r Krelder, Daniel (Slough and Jehn Grayblll.
y witness ee examined by the coroner were
rlea Rudy, Eby and Reuben Herman. Dr.
XL O. lfeamenanyder waa the physician. Tbe
verdict of the Jury was that death resulted
from paralyals of tbe heart.
CHAKOINQ A DRKAOrULCniMH.
Jae, Dennis, brotheref deceased, appears
a prosecutor of what he claims te be bis
brother's murderers. Ilia suspicions that all
was net right were first aroused en tbe day
the inquest waa held, by tbe refusal of the
Kudy a te allow him lobe present whoa the
testimony waa taken. He concluded te await
development and has been quietly gathering
evidence ever since. Ills belief is that Den
nis waa murdered In tbe stable and his body
carried te tbe house and placed lit tbe bed
where It was when tbe coroner held tbe In
quest. He says he will be able te prove that there
were black and blue marks en tbe face, a
discoloration under the eye, uiarks ou bis
body, and that tbe undertaker will testify
that when he put htm In the celllii his one
band, whleb was under the boa J in lifting
Mia te the coffin, was covered with bleed,
bowing that there waa a wound where It
could net be seen by the coroner. Tbe un
dertaker, It is also said, will testify tt.at tbe
way In which tbe head could be moved from
aide te aide would Indicate that tbe neck was
broken.

Eby Rudy, Reuben Herman and Martin
D. Heat are tbe partial charged with tbe
murder and robbery nt ilecertied, and Sam

as the acceaserUs. Rudy is a young man
who baa figured In the quarter sessions

charged with this high crime, wm once an

SINGULAR ClnOCMTTANCES.
Mart Hess lives several miles dlataul from
Uje home of Kudy,and yet he was ou band te
be called ta a Jurer te Inquire Inte the cause
. of the death et this man he was accused of
murdering. 01 the ether defendants Ida
Rudy, Eby Rudy and Reuben Herman were
the aele witnesses examined by the coroner.
The deceased, James Dennla says, was pos
sessed of fi,tOO te f 5,600 In cash which he al
ways carried atxut blm. After his death and
bis effects were examined only 60 were
found. It was known that he was miserly in
tbe extreme, aud tbe absence el tbe money
the allegation being that tbe accused appro
priated It, would Indicate that robbery was
tbe motive for the murder.
The deceased waa tbe owner of a pecu
liarly made pocketbeek and adillgcntsearch
waa made in his chest ler it, but It could net
be found, James Dennis Inquired about this
pocketbook and Mid it was very queer that
It bad disappeared. Ha waa told te make
another search and this time the book waa
found In the cheat, which had before been
thoroughly overhauled.
All of the accused prier te tbe 27th of
August were In very moderate circumstances.
In tact they were.never known te have tr.eney
Fer some time after Dennis' death they made
am no display of money, but ter the last few
months they have been spending money
very lavishly. It Is related that when the
tax collector called en one et the above parties
for tax owed by him he said, "I ain't get It
new.but I'll get It from Eby Rudy, and II he
don't give te me I will put him In Jail for
elgbt or ten years or bang the a of a b ."

A Han Frem lbs Nelghberboea Calls en a
I-vaeuUr FeUce Offleer.
The first Intimation the authorities had of
the alleged crime waa en Tuesday of this
week, when man named Merrow, who waa
well acquainted with Officer Helss, called ou
that policeman and narrated the facta above
published. The offleer took blm te tbe office
of Alderman Barr where be repeated tbe
lery. District Attorney Weaver waa con cen
ulted and H wm decided te have criminal
oemplalnts preferred. Merrow, who waa
net a relative, waa tent borne with Instruc
tions te send Jamea Dennis, brother or de
ceased, te this city. Became here en Wed
nesday and preferred the oemplalnta against
the parties above named.
There Is no disposition te reflect ea the cer.
ener, U the facta as narrated are true. If Hess,
one of tbe Jurers, and the ether conspirators,
who were tbe witness, bad matters se ar
ranged that tbe Jorera could net see whether
there were any mark of violence en Dennle,
tbe coroner could net be harshly crltlelsed.
It doe seem, however, that the physician'
vail at Ien should have shown tbe cause of
death there being se vast difference be
twees death as resulting from paralyile of
vl tt heart, and death resulting from murder
when violence wm used.
jF Warrants for the arrest of tbe accused were
" ptaeedlA tbe haaae of Ofteera Heist, Cramer
and Sterralellz, and they left this city at 4

It wm a tew minutes after I o'clock when
Officer Hlerrafelts arrived at Alderman Kerr

only persona at the office were Dlstrlet At

papers, and Alderman Barr. The officer
handed' tbe warranta properly endorsed te
the alderman, and tbe tatter made out corn

county Jail for a bearing en a date net yet
fixed. Eby and Ellswerth are net yet 21
year old Heas la beyond 60
The officers report the reads as being la a
terrible condition. They left thla elty after
the 4 o'clock report this morning and arrived
at Eby Rudy' house' shortly after 7 o'elock.
Rudy live In West Esrl township, about 2
miles from Harevllle. He and his sister farm

whether the offleer had warrant for Kile,

would net say.

The effieera then went te the home or
young Ellawerlb, some two mile distant,
and he wm also taken into custody. Tne
scene at the Ellswerth home wm one that
tbe officers will never forget The young
man's gray-haired father and aged mother
reeelted tbe Information tbtt their youngest
son wm charged with murder with great
emotion. The mother was overcome with
grief and her parting with her eon wm an
afleetlng eue. Tbe father left bis work, came
te thla elty and at once retained J. Hay
Brown m his attorney. Rudy has retained
B. P. Davit, and Hew II. C. Brubaker.
Herman, the fourth man, wm net at home,
and consequently waa net arrested. ;Uls
whereabeuts have been learned and be will
probably be takeu Inte custody before the
day la ever. Officer Helta went te where be

Reading railroad this alternoeu.
The priseners were In the alderman's office
for about an hour. A crowd of curieua people
gathered en the pavement and peered in the
windows and that annoyed young Ellawerlb
who remarked that it looked as If they never
saw a man before under arrest Mart Heas
wm very unconcerned and bis only trouble
appeared te be that be bad missed htsdlnner.
OfQcer Slermfeltz went with him te a restau

be happy.

District Attorney Weaver will make ar ar
rangeiuenta te have the body of Dennis dis
interred and examined. Te preent any
tampering with the grave uutll tbe body la
takfeu up, watchmen will be put en duty at

Tne district attorney and tbe counsel for
the prisoners held a consultation at the alder
man's cilice. Ball wm offered for tbe prison
ers, but tbe alderman could net take It under
tbe law, nor would tbe district attorney
consent te their being released en ball.
The alderman announced Friday of next

The Judge refused te admit the prisoners

Ueerge H. Wilsen, the young colored man
charged In tbe confession of Hannah Mary
Tabbs with beln g tbe principal la the murder
of Wakefield Gain, wasMlztdwIthanerveu
fit at the Central station, Philadelphia,, en
Wednesday and remained u neon scions nearly
an beur. After recovering be and Mr.
Tabbs were taken belere a magistrate
and committed for a bearing en Monday.
WIlBen made a statement te Chief of Deteo Detee
Uvm Kelly. He Is a very light mulatto; in
fact, be would pass fur an Italian. He la only
eighteen years old, of alight build, wm
shabbily dressed and had a full bead of curly
balr. He looked sick and badly Beared,
though defiant In manner.
Wilsen took bis seat en lb same bench
with Mrs. Tabbs, only at the opposite end.
He seemed te shrink from hi companion In
crime. Magistrate Smith turned le Wilsen
and mid t
" What I your name ?'
Aa tbe magistrate Mked tbe question Wil Wil
eon and Mrs. Tabbs steed up, and tbe former
replied :
' Ueerge H. Wilsen."
"Where de en llve?" a,ked tbe magis
trate. "At Ne 1211 Lembard street, with my
aunt, Martha Wallace.
Hew long have you lived there 7"
" Fer about a month. Before that I lived
at Ne. 1 iHO Uelinuth street, with thttMme
aunt 1 lived there two years."
" Hew old are you 7"
" Wm eighteen en Decembers ImI."
"What de you de for a living?"
" I am a chair catier, and worked for Mat
thews tic Lee. 1 learned chair caning In the
Heuse of Refuge."
"That will de," Raid the magistrate.
Wilsen remained standing while the mag
istrate questioned Mrs. Tabbs.
When asked her name she replied .
" Mary Hannah Tatibi."
Her voice wm very low, and she leaned
forward In a nervous msnner.
" Where de you live?"
" Ne. 1,012 Richards street"
"Areyeu married?"
" Yes ; ray butband works In the Ameri
can hotel."
" Hew old are you 7" v
" I am thirty-two yean old."
Hbe also Mid that she had no children and
bad lived In Hlebards street for elgbt years.
Chief of Detectives Kelly then came te tbe
stand, and, turning toward the prisoners,
Mid:
11 1 would ask your honor te bold the pris
oners until Monday next for further bearing
for the murder of Wakefield Galna en Wed
nesday last In order that lurtber witnesses
may be produced.
I commit you both," said Magistrate
Smith, " te tbe county prison for a further
hearing next Mendsy. Sergeant, remove the
prisoners te their eel la."
Detective Tate took charge et Mrs. Tabbs
and placed ber in a cell In the Central station,
while Detective Miller; placing hla hand en
Wilsen's arm, took blm out te be photo
graphed, and from there te tbe Fifth district
police station.
W1LSOX rAKTLY CONFESSES.
Wilsen must have begun te weaken m
seen m he reached tbe police atatlen, for at
bout two p. m. Cbief Kelly made tbe fol
lowing announcement at the Central office :
" About balr a hour age." Mid Chief Kelly,
"I wm summoned te tbe Fifth district, being
Informed that Wilsen bad something te com
municate le me. He made a partial atate
ment. Ueconfesaed that he did carry tbe
head and the two leg and two arms at sepa
rate times en the sen end of Callewhllt
street bridge en the day or the murder and
hid thou under the bridge. Between halt
pas', nine aud ten o'clock tbe same Bight, be
say, be rut u med te the bridge and tied tbe
three seurate bundles into one, leaded tbe
large buudle with bricks and weut out about
twenty feet from the end et the bridge and
tbrew tbe remalus into tbe Schuylkill river.
I have sent Detective Miller aud Tate te se
curu the tug KIuk, and oxpeet that the bun
dle will be bruugut le the surface this after
noon. rilK MKARCU l.V TUB IMVEH.
Detective") Miller aud Tate then went te
the Fifth dittrlct police station and invited
Wllseu te take a walk, aud be accompanied
the oilleera t the Walnut street wharf, where
the party bearded the police steamboat King.
The King wm then headed for Callewhlll
street bridge, where tbe party landed and
were Joined by Detective Crawford, who bad
been doing a little angling en hla own ac
count but bad net hooked tue bundle. Wil Wil
eon showed the officers where be had first
concealed the leg, arma and bead under
some coal dust and beards, a short distance
from tbe bridge and near a fence bordering
tbe railway track, tbe spot being
comparatively deserted even in day
time. The prisoner then led the detectives
te a spot about twenty feet en the bridge
from tbe went end, and explained hew he
bad lifted the buudle up in bis arms and
pushed it from blm Inte the water. Wilsen
wm then taken en beard tbe police beat and
tbe search cemmenced. Lieutenant Francis
bandied the grappling Irena and Detective
Crawford pulled tne beat, but as tbe spot la a
most difficult one for such work, tbe water
being lerty feet deep aud the bottom being
rocky, tbe search wm suspended at Mven
o'clock without bringing the remains te tbe
surface. Wben it Is remembered that Fri
day night was the night or tbe storm and
that the freshet caused tbe rivers te tumble
along like small terreut,ltls net remarkable
that some dim jultv should be experienced
In tbe search for Wulte Galna' arms, legs and
bead. The search will be continued te mor
row morning.
MI SSI Ml ANNIE IIlCnARIltON.
Much mystery haa apparently aurreunded
the alleged disappearance et Annie Richard
son, tbe beautiful mulatto girl, Mid te be
Mrs. Tabbs' daughter, and It bu been Ihted
that she was In some manner connected with
the murder. Mrs. Jeunie Cannen, the slater
et tbe murdered man, gave a copy of a letter
for publication Mid te have been written by
tbe missing Annie. The letter wmm fol fel fol
eows: Puii..uu:li'iii., Jan. 20, ls7.
Dk.vr Wakmv Mary (Mrs. Tabbs) baa
reported me run away. I bave net run away,
I came In the city and Mr. Tabbs Mked me
te oe me and clean tbe home. I didn't like
the girl at the beuse where I lived and that's
I he reason 1 didn't go back. Be carelul of
mother, for ahe la making threats, and veu
ifen't knew hew treacherous she Is. Fer
Ged's sake don't give me away. 1 tell you
ler your own geed, Annib.
Thla letter. by many is Mid te be a forgery,
but tbe question remains, what would be tbe
useefaucha forgery? Mrs, Cannen Is un
doubtedly very bitter toward these who bad
a hand in ber brother's murder, but out of
the many damaging statements against Mrs.
Tabbs the fact remains that tbe latter hM
frequently threatened Gaina' life, some My
because she wm jealous of him and ether
claim that it wm beeauae she believed that he
wm keeping Annie Richardson away from
her, That Annie is alive and In a safe place
there Is net the slightest doubt, and were It
net for very geed reasons the exact location
of her residence could be given.
Mrs. Tabbs wm taken te Meyamenaing
prison and Wilsen, after tbe river search, wm
again looked up In the Fifth dlstrlet station.
Corener Powers went te Bristel and bad tbe
beadlMs and limbless trunk disinterred, oon eon oen

St. Matthew's Usy,
This is St Matthew's day. The Germans
have a proverb which reads :
" M&tihlaibrlchtalce,
llatvhr aclns
Be maeht ehr elus."
Which may be read In the vernacular
" Matthew breaks Ice : has be none, he will
make one; or, mere freely translated, it
reads :
"If there be loe en Mattbsw'sdny he'll breik it
And If there be none en that dy he'll make It"
As our streams are (new free of Ice, they
must be closed again te make tbe proverb
held geed. Possibly the ground-hog, who
p-ophcsles warm weatber, may object, or
possibly the two prophets may compromise
or form a " ccmblne."

Ths One Tbat Was Net Head at the Voeag
Democrats' Brooklyn Dinner.
New Yerk, Feb. 24, The following is a
copy of the letter of regret sent by Mayer
Hewitt te the Yeung Men's Democratic club
of Brooklyn, en Tuesday night, en tbe eccz
sien of their dinner te Gov. Hill :
"New Yerk, Feb. 14,
"Frederick R. Lee, Esq , 21 Park Place, New
Yerk City.
I have tbe honor te acknowledge the re
ceipt of your letter of the Gib instant, uklng
me te be tbe guest of tbe Yeung Men's Deme
crailoclubet Brooklyn, en the 23d Inst, at its
annual dinner. As you are aware, I am Just
recovering from a very painful illness wnleh
does net yet permit me te leave my chamber.
Aa a matter of course, it will be Impossible
ler me te bave tbe pleasure et dining with
you en tbe J, but I send my cordial greet
ings te tbe club and the distinguished Demo
crats who will be present, and trust that the
laudable object at which you aim, tbe pro
tection of tbe Union and the success of the
national Demecracy,wlll be achieved.
Tbe principles et tbe Democratic party are
en trial from anew force which hM suddenly
appeared In politics, and which will destroy
tbe parly unless it Is boldly confronted and
tbe dangerous and pernicious effect of it
doctrines and principles denounced and
made clear te the publle. The Democratic
party regards tbe individual u tbe unit of
society, the integrity of which depends en
tirely upon the personal liberty of tbe citi
zen. Jeffersen and bis associates drove the
Federal party out of power en tbl issue,
which indeed wm fundamental in tbe atrug atrug
gle which gave us our free government and
produced tbe constitution. Until the civil
war broke out no man questioned the right
of tbe white citizens or the United States te
dispose of themselves and their labor In any
manner which might seem geed. The war
extended the same rights te the colored race
M the white citizens bad previously enjoyed,
se tbat up te a very recent period every
citlzeu el this country has been free te
employ himself and pursue his hspplncn
In whatever direction might seem te him te
ba geed. Within tbe last five years,
however, a secret organization has been grow
ing lu strength and power, which seeks te
enslave tbe labor el this country and make it
subject te tbe Irresponsible domination of
men unauewa te tne peopie seu iue
net officers chosen by the people and who
are net creatures of law responsible te free
public opinion ana te ine censtuuiea aumor aumer
ities for their action. Gradually the leaders
et this body have succeeded in stamping out
ail personal Independence en the part of
a large number of workmen of this country
byreluslogte permit any persons te earn a
living who are net affiliated with tbis secret
organization. In tbis way tbe workmen
bave been coerced Inte blind obe
dience te Irresponsible power, and
the condition of these who hae
tried te remain euUide of tbe organization is
in many eases truly pitiable. They are called
by opprobrious names, are hunted Irem shop
te shop aud denied employment en tbe tearlul
penalty ofslepplngallwork,however pressing
and important Tula Is tyranny,sgalnst which
tbe Democratic party bM ever struggled and
which it must new confront and denounce in
no mistaken tones. It is true that Democrats
holding high positions bave coquetted with
this new and dangerous olemeut iu politics,
aud even attained offices by submlttlugtetbe
humiliation of an apparent endorsement
of the raise aud dangerous doctrines which
have been, put in practice at auch a fearful
cost in our imuat wunin tnis present tnemu.
Unless the Democratic party shall new
and at once absolutely disown and
condemn all organizations which seek te
place tbe individual under any control than
that of the laws and deprive the citizen or bis
right or free action, it will polish as It ought
te de.
