Theee verdicts were unexpected te the
dlatrki attorney, and he asked perralaaien
e wunaraw tne plea or guilty entered by
nea Yackiev. who waa also indicted
for these offenses. "He did net think Yaek-
encht te suffer punishment while his

idenca of two of the above named defendants,
xaeaiey and Brown, would prevent a con cen con
Tietion of Jehn Faegley, charged with re
ceiving the goods stolen from Kitch A
Smith, knowing the same te have bean
stolen.
The court said Faeulev eusht te be tried
land Mr. taman, his counsel, said he waa
ready te go en, and as the commonwealth
had all the testimony it could get, it waa
also ready, and the defendant was entitled
te his trial at this time.
Mr. Brown referred te the practice of
Mr. Faegley furnishing the boys Just ac
quitted with money, by purchasing from
them Stelen iroeds. This desire for mensv
(ion their part was the result of reading
'jdime nevela and a mania te aee cheap
s shows, and when complaint waa made
against them they were found In the gallery
of the opera house.
The court dlrected thecasea te be con
tinued jte the next term of court and in the
meantime some additional testimony may
be secured.
Mr." JLeaman, for Faegley, protested
ataengjfy against a continuance, but the
court would net recede from the position
they Had taken.
1 prea waa entered en alt the indict-
charging Thoe. Loehmver with vle-
fttie liquor law, upon the pay
or ceata by defendant. He rep-
ted a Baltimore brewing com
pany land was guilty of a technical viola-
tlenrtf law by delivering beer te parties in
ir ftnmrilAlnant nnd M Twhmver hul sold
beer te twenty-three different parties, there
were that many complaints returned te
court. There were only eight indictments
framed and these were disposed of as above
stated.
Samuel Oreen, a Welsh meuutain coon,
very block in color, waa charged with rape
and enticing from home a female under
the age of 18 yeara. The district attorney
atated the rape case could net be made out,
and en that a verdict of net guilty waa en
tered. Oreen entered a plea of guilty aa te
the ether offense. Tue girl enticed was
Cera Bllla, a white girl, also a resident of
the mountain.
The court sentenced him te pay a flue of
$500, costs of prosocutien, and undergo an
imprisonment of three years.
Mary Alice Wanatnaker, of Rophe town tewn
ablp, was tried for adultery and concealing
the death e'f an Illegitimate child. The
testimony showed that she was married In
1888, but did net live with her husband.
During last year she became en intlmate
terms with Frank Lisa and the result was
the birth of an illegitimate child, which it
waa alleged she concealed. The testimony
failed te substantiate that charge and a
verdict of net guilty was entered. She
then entered a plea of guilty of adultery
and was sontenced te pay a flne of 950 and
undergo au imprisonment of one year in
the county jail.
Wfdncsilay Morning. Court met at 9
o'clock and the case against Charles Warn
baugb, larceny, was called for trial. This
defendant waa charged with stealing lettera
from the postefflce addressed te his em
ployer, L. li. Herr. He saved the county
an expense of the trial by pleading guilty.
Bentenre was postponed until Saturday
when testimony will be heard as te pre
vious geed character in mitigation of pun
ishment. Nera Rcldenbach was put en trial for
larceny. The commonwealth proved that
en tbe20th of January the defendant accom
panied Mrs. Rlppei te the dressmaking
establishment of Maggie Kitch, at Ne.
524 Seuth Duke street. While Mrs. Rlppei
waa having a dresa fitted up stairs Nera
remained down stairs. After Nera and her
remeineaaewnsiairs. iwr nan ,nu uer . haf breugnt Bbeat the lnqu,ry by
companienleltthohouse,Mrs.KltchmlssedTyieheaUhdeparfment The "doctor" say a
a table cloth and four towels, she ran after
the parties and charged Nera with the theft.
Nera dented navtng tauen any or tnese ar
ticles. Later In the day Nera admitted te
Mrs. Rlppei that abe bad stolen the arti
cles, and they were found at the house of
Mrs. Rippel's father, where Nera bad se
creted them.
The accused denied liming taken the
goods charged and said It was a put up job
en her by Mrs. Rlppel, because she would
net give her five cents te buy snuff te chew.
The Jury rendered a verdict of guilty.
The court sentenced her te undergo an
Imprisonment of three months lu the
county jail.
Henry Geed and Jehn Wagner were nest
called for trial. The charges against Geed
are larceny, carrying concealed deadly
weapons and pointing a pistol, and
against Wagner the cbarge is larceny.
The commonwealth proved that en
a Friday night In November thieves
were caught stealing iron from
ths blacksmith shop of Harry Sayler,
en' the Willow Street turnpike. When
Mr. Sayler saw the thieves at work he
called te his wife for a lantern, and while
abe went te the house for it one of the
thieves pointed a pistol at Sayler. Upen
Mrs. Bayler's return she stepped between
the pistol and the thief. The thief did net
aay a word all thla time, but kept Mr. and
Mrs. Sayler covered with the revolver,
while another thief placed iron en the
wagon. When the wagon was leaded the
thieves drove off. The night was tee dark
for Mr. or Mrs. Sayler te identify the
thieve.
Mrs. Kale Sanders waa the material wit
ness called for tbe commonwealth. Ac
cording te her testimony Wagner bearded
with her for several years. When she
read the account of the robbery In the
papers she charged Wagner with being one
of the parties. He colored up and finally
admitted that he, Geed and Lechner were
the parties, and that Geed waa the man
who pointed the pistol at the Baylers.
The defense was a denial by the accused
and an alibi. Geed's wife and mother-In-
. law testified that he was at home all of tl
evening of Bayler's robbery, and several
companions of Wagner testified that they
, 'fera with him all of that evening.

Sir: Though my lettera te Dsmocratle and
Tariff Reform aassmblagea have lately
been very frequent, I cannot deny your
request te say a word of encouragement te
the tariff reformers who will meet at the
first annual convention of the Indiana
Tariff Reform League, en the 4th of March.
I am very much pleased with the plan
upon which your leagus seems te be or
ganized. Itoenveysaauggeatlonofpraotlcal

enment. This, if persistently carried out.
cannot fall of success. Of course, we de net
approach the American people, assuming
that they are ignorant or unpatriotic. But
we knew that they are busy people and apt
te neglect the study of publle questions. In
the engrossment of their daily SYocaUena
they are tee ready te rely upon thai
Judgment and avowed principles of the
party with which they have affiliated, as
guides te their political actions. In this
way they have become slew te examine for
themaelvea the questions of tariff reform.
If, In the light or reasonable and simple ar
guments and of such object lessens aa 'are
being constantly placed before them, our
people can be induced te Investigate the
subjects, there need be no fear aa te their
conclusion.
The Democratic party, aa the party of the
people, opposed te selfish schemes which
ignore the public geed, and pledged te the
intereats or all their ceuntrymenTlnstsad of
tbe furtherance of the Interests of tbs few
who seek te pervert government powers
for their enrichment, was never nearer te
Its fundamental principles than waa It In
Its contests for tariff reform.
It certainly adds te the aatlafaotien with
which we labor In thla cause te be assured
thst In our efforts we net only serve our
party, but all the people of the land.
Yours, very truly,

LURED TO DEATH t
A Begus British Lord Held Fer the Mys
terious Murder of F. C. Benwell.
A Weman In the Plot.
The following dispatch te the Philadel
phia Recerd from Niagara Falls gives some
startling developments In connection with
the murder of the young Englishman,
Frederick Benwell, whose body waa found
lnaawampnearWoedstock,OnL; the whole
affair seems te point te an organized gang
In Londen, of which Burchell was the
chief factor, the object of which was te lure
the sons of wealthy English people te
Canada, presumably te take an Interest in
sn extensive horse-raising farm at Niagara
Falls:
Quiet Ontario county, lust ever the bor
der from Niagara Falls, has been startled
from Its accustomed serenity by a mnrder
foul and mysterious. If the authorities
succeed in following te the end the clue
which they are new chasing they will un
earth a crime which, for cold-blooded pur
pose and villainous design, has only a par
allel In the l'roller-Maxwell tragedy In St.
Leuis.
The local Interest In the tragedy, whleh
was first aroused by the discovery of a
dead body in the lonely weeds In Prince
ton en February 21, arid the Identification
after the exhuming of the remains en Sat
urday, rose te a fever height when Regi
nald Blrchell was arrested inJNlagara Falls
en Monday.
This morning Dominion Detective Mur
ray placed Mrs. Blrchell under arrest, and
the couple are prisoners in the Cliften jail,
held for the cruel murder of Frederick
Benwell. Douglas Pelly, the ether mem
ber of the party which set sail from Liver
pool Just a month age te-morrow, Is under
the surveillance of the Canadian pollce.
The story of BIrchell'a career in the
Dominion, and the dark tragedy which 1
new coupled with hla name, Is one that
Emile Gaboriau would love te handle. It
Is this : In the fall of 1888 a young English
man, with his wife, came te Woodstock.
He came with the avowed purpose of learn
ing 'arming, but he did net take te tbe
.plow, and in May lest decamped with his
spouse, leaving several creditors behind.
He claimed sometimes te be Lord Somerset,
at ether limes te be the son of Lord Somer
set, of England. Hla champagne bills were
enormous; be spent money freely. His
wife looked like a lady of culture, and lived
as would a lady of the world.
He disappeared as mysteriously as he
came. In May of 1F89, and has net been
heard from until new. The impression
that be made en the susceptible community
title. His letters were addressed It. Blr
cbell, care Somerset t Ce. In 188!) Blr
chell waa adjudged bankrupt In England.
He la an exaulslte. and If tbe instep and
bands are the true Insignia of blue bleed
BIrchell'a bleed must be the bluett. His
finger nails are carefully kept, brilliant as
sea shells. Ills little farming that they
heve seen, for the tlesh upon them, ap
parently is as soft as a girl's. His hair Is
aa dark aa a raven's wing, his forehead is
bread and low, and his Up la covered with
a light mustache. The nose la as delicate
as a cameo, and from above it gleam a pair
of steel-blue eyes.
As for Reginald Blrchell's wife, she is a
fair-bHlred, blue-eyed little creature, with
an air of refinement from the top of her
pretty bead te the tips of her dainty shoe,
and the soft voice and charming manner
of speech characteristic of the English well
bred woman.
New. what connection have these two
mysterious personages with the dark
tragedy of the Princeton Pines T Listen te
the story that Douglass Pelly told te-day
for the first time: He and Benwell
ainie tegtther for the first time, and each
bad a slight acquaintance with the Blrch
ells. According te Pelly's slerv Blrchell
tried te iuduce him te go with him te
America. Pelly bad been connected with
some stock-raising scheme In New
Zealand.
When Blrchell learned this his ardor
became almost Importuning; he wooed
Pelly as a lever would a girl, and pictured
in terms of geld the Elderado that awaited
him. He glowed In his description of the
nerfected stock farm he owned in Weed-
stork, Out.; told of the pleasant pasture
lands, the stock that was waxing fat upon
them, and then be capped his tale by say
ing that all bis stables wers lighted by
electricity.
Ne castle In Spain waa ever mere filmy
than were BIrchell'a holdings, for be never
owned a feet of land in Ontario. Yet Pelly
was Inoculated by the charm of the thing.
He gave Blrchell 800, and Blrchell in re
turn was te pay his paasage across and
then hand ever tebim a general percentage
of the stock farm's yield,
Did similar wiles magnetize Benwell?
He, tee. bad raised stork in New Zealand
se he told Pelly. His father, he explained
te bis companion, was a colonel in the
English service. When the party arrived
in New Yerk, en February li, they put up
at the Metropolitan hotel. On Saturday
Felly railed ou some friends of his the
Ferrests who live en Fifth avenue, and
Benwell presented a loiter of Introduction
le aomeueay in uie iuquiuuie tuiuaing,
whose name Pelly bat forgotten.
The four left Jersey City by tbe 8:55 train
that night for Buffalo, Here they put up
at the Stafferd house. Benwell and Pelly
had rooms near each ether en the second
fleer, the Blrchells had a room en the fleer
above. Blrchell all tbe time was talking
about bis farm the destination of the
party. But Blrchell explained tliat It
would bs better, perhaps, if be went ahead
in ordered te put Us pUcs te rights, and it
waa arrsngad that Pally sad Mrs. BircheU
slldreaSnbshted. , J &
Blreaell Invited Beawell te go with him.
Bsnwell accepted, and sarlv en ttssern-
s sines Benwell MsA taratflbrd kenss
In tbs gray dswn of that Monday morning

day te his face sailed Blrchell a fraud and a
deadbeat. Blrchell only smiled In bis
Cheaterfleldlsn way. -
Whsn Blrchell returned he told his wife
snd Felly that ths farm would net be In a
habitable condition for two or three wssks
te come snd suggested thst they all stay In
town. It Is rumored that If assets up s
defense and that Is very nieiisary tt will
be that hs could net possibly havs gene up
te Princeton, where the dead body of Ben
well waa discovered, and return te Buffalo
again by 9 o'clock. But tbs running or tbs
trains was such that bs would ha v bad
either' Ave or seven hours In this lonely
spot.
Princeton Is less than a hundred miles
from Buffalo, and they would havs arrived
there about 0 o'clock, while a half hour's
walk would have brought them te tbs snot
where the body was found. Paris, another
station, could be reached by an hour's
walk, and tt la hers where Blrchell proba
bly took the train back for Buffalo about 4
p. m. These twelve hours while Blrchell
was away are the only ones since the party
left Liverpool that have net been mlnutel y
accounted for up te the finding of the
body. r J
And new aa te the motive for the crime :
Waa It a deftly played game en BIrchell'a
part te get possession of Benwell's geld, or
Is the prisoner in the Cliften Jail the victim
of as remarkable a chain of elrcumstantial
evidence aa was ever forged about a human
being?
The three arrived at Suspension bridge
en Tuesday night and want te Cliften. Fer
a week or se the Blrchells snd Pally re
mained about Cliften and ths falls. Blrchell
kept putting off the visit te his farm, and
the funds of both were spparently very
low.
Last Tuesday as they wers walking along
the rlver, Blrchell asked Pelly If he would
net like te go down ths bank. Rickety
steps led down the embankment. As they
were going down Blrchell called Pelly'a
attention te aeme overhanging Icicles.
Pelly said he became suspicious and went
back.
A few nights later. while crossing sus
pension bridge in s heavy blew, Birchell
told Pelly te get qn the ether aide of him,
but Pelly refused. Frem thla out he dis
trusted his friend and went armed. Pelly
became anxious about Benwell, and
Blrchell told him Benwell had gene te
New Yerk. When the story of the mur
der was printed Pelly was sent te New
Yerk. He could net find his friend, snd
returning te Cliften, found Blrchell under
arrest.
td:e tidal wave of pensions.
The Country is New Paying 9IOO.OOO,
OOO a Year, and the Amount Increase.
Washington Dispatch te New Yerk Ben. 1
The pension appropriation bill which la
te be passed by the Heuse within a few
daya calls for 198,427,401. This sum Is sn
increase of 110.068,701 ever last year's ap
propriation, yet net a dollar of It can ulti
mately be evaded. On the contrary, it will
fall te meet the expenditures of ths coming
year, which will go above 1100,000,000.
The proof of this assertion Is te be found,
first, In the urgent deficiency bill, reported
a few days age, where a pension Item of
$21,508,834 appears. Add that te the appro
priation of the lut session and the amount
resulting is 1103,367,534. Secretary Wlndem,
it Is true, says that about f8,000,000 or thla'
deficiency belongs further back, and that
"the amount actually required for pen
sions for the fiscal year which ended June
30, 1889, waa f05024,779," while "the
amount appropriated and estimated for
the year ending June 30, 1800, Is $97,768,
700." But. en the ether band, expendi
tures which are net in the annual esti
mates rontlnne te go en and te appear only
in deficiency bills. The high water mark
in expenditures la net vet reached. There
are new mere than half a million pension
ers en the rolls. The number there July 1,
1880, was 489,725, and although 10,607 names
had been dropped during the 12 months
preceding, from death and ethor causes,
a net increase of 37,108 had been made.
This increase still gees en, although It la
new a quarter of a century after the end or
the civil war, aided by the vigorous exer
tions or Corporal Tanner and hla successor,
and by an unprecedented combination of
the clerks of Secretary Procter and Sec
retary Neblo. Bosides, the average an
nual value of each ponslen at the end
or the last, fiscal year waa $131.18,
which .was an increase or $5.78 dur
ing the twelve months, due te tbe
legislation or Congress for increases in
value ; and tbe present Congress has been
busy at the same business during this
winter. There were allowed no fewer than
123,000 claims for Increase during the last
fiscal year alone, besides 51,021 claims for
original pensions. At a recent count there
were still 400,510 pending claims in tbe
pension office, including original applica
tions and these for Increase, ''he tide is
net high yet.
Anether point te note is that all these
appropriations, routine and deficiency, are
based en pest legislation of Cpngress.
Whatever the Flftv-tlrst Congress may de
in granting Individual penslenr, Increasing
single pensions and classes of pensions,
and passing new general laws, la net
provided for in the pending appropriation.
Yet measures passed at thla session will
take effect during the coming fiscal year,
and the result will appear In another de
ficiency bill next year. ,
The Fifty-first Congress will be called en,
alto, te pass at least one sweeping pension
measure, whose ultlmate expenditure
must be reckoned In hunureds of
millions. Mr. Cleveland's administra
tion set an example In this respect
which Mr. Harrison feels bound te surpass.
wny is u mat me iremenueus increase ei
mere than $30,000,000 a year was added te
our pension burdens during the former
administration, the expenditures of $01,
972.818 for the year 1885 having been swelled
te these of $95,621,779 for the year 1889 ? It
is enough te answer that one bill signed by
President Cloveland gave nensiens te sol
diers and sailors of tbe Mexlcan war for
service only, without wounds or disability;
another added 50 per cent, te the long
established rate of payment en mere than
a hundred thousand pensions.
Hew is the Harrison administration te
surpass this record, adding net only $W, -000,000
but $50,000,000 or $100,000,000 te our
firesent expenses? Perhaps it will repeal
he arrears limit, which might cost from
$100,000,000 te $500,000,000 In a round sum.
Or It might pass a service ponslen bill for
all Union veterans, which would cost per
haps from $100,000,000 te $150,000,000 mere
a year. But It Is likely te content itself at
the present session with the dependent
pension bill, which may cost from $35,000,
900 te $40,000,000 a year, and has tbe ex
press sanction of Mr, Harrison's secretary
of the Interior.
The people of the United States have
already expended $1,000,090,000 In pensions
slnce the beginning of the civil war. They
will nave te expend li.uou.uue.uuu mere
before the end of the year' 1900, and It this
additional amount does net reach $2,000,
000,000 they will be fortunate.
Remitted Part of the enatty,
Assistant Secretary Tlchcner has or
dered the discontinuance of the suits in St.
Leuis against Henry A. Schmidt, for the
recovery of $12,000 for Importing, under
contract, from Germany, 12 journeymen
tailors. In violation of the alien contract
labor law, en condition that Schmidt pay
te the United States the sum of $2,000 and
costs of the suits. This action Is taken In
respense te numerous appeals for a mitiga
tion or a remission or the penalties.

counties in Kansas and Central Illinois
there are no complaints of damage from

comes from Kentucky, and no damage
from any cause, Tbe most discouraging
report comes from Michigan. Owing te

A Sceundrelly "Praettcsl Joked
Considerable excitement was caused in

Twe Rivers Much Swollen.
The Ohie river Is new evor fifty miles
wlde at Caire, Ills. It extends from the
Caire level, which holds it banked up forty
feet above the lower water mark In Ken
tucky till it strikes the hills there, forming
one solid sheet of water, except for tbe
narrow strips of rockbound earth upon
which the Mobile t Ohie and Illinois Cen
tral railroad run south. A inlle below
Caire It Joins the Mississippi, which In
turn extend Inte Missouri another fifty
miles, making tbe combined Width or tbe
two rivers ever 100 miles. The current la
terrific and brings great quantities ofheavy
drift, making navigation perilous.
The ferry beat Three States made two
trips te East Caire, Ky., yesterday, and
one up the Mississippi te Missouri, rescuing
people camped out en ground which they
supposed waa beyond the reach of the flood,
but which waa being rapidly submerged.
