Ihere are still some people who belieTe
that Franklin B. Gowen did not commit
suicide. Their theory is that he was
anrderedby "Mollie Magnires," though
the circumstances under which his body
ras fonnd prove almost conclusively that he
must have shot himsel A. number of ap
plicants for customs offices are -working a
scheme to have more positions made to ac
commodate them.

WASHixGTOir, December 17. Every
day since the discovery of the death of Mr.
Franklin B. Gowen, at Wormley's Hotel,
somebody has been getting a free advertise
ment in the newspapers by arguing in favor
of the theory that Mr. Gowen was murdered.
These have been principally detectives who
want a job or a free "ad.," but others have
also lent their judgment to the theory, until
there is a substantial and growing belief
that the great railroad'lawyer did not die by
bis own hand.
Among the later advocates of this theory
is Mr. C. M. Austett, late a law clerk in
the office of the Supervising Architect of
the Treasury, and now occupant of a law
office in a block opposite the Treasury.
MB. attstett's theoet.
Jlr. Austett is persuaded in his own mind
that the"Mollie Maguires" have always
"had it in" for Mr. Gowen, and that instead
nf tl-in hi life at anv of the numerous
times when he was in their neighborhood, they
intf ted nntfl he came to Washington and com
mitted the mnrder under circumstances that
Mere a thousand to one against escape.
Were Mr. Austett and others of bis belief in
clined to sift the facts rather than advance
theories, they would easily find that there is
not a shadow of basis lor the argument of mur
der. The one door of room lo. 67. at Worm
ley's, where Mr. Gowen slept, was locked from
the Inside. The transom had to be forced to
admit a man to the room, and was In a con
dition which showed it had not been opened for
a long time. To get from the window to the
ground would be impossible without a long
rope. The window is 50 feet from the gronnd,
with a landing In x deep ana narrow area, or
' over a wall in the grounds of the German Le
. gatlon, where there are several savage docs.
There was no sign of a struggle Mr.
Gowen's clothing was disarranged, just as it
would hare been had ho fallen lengthwise.
His money and valuables were all on bis per
son. There were no marks of powder on his
skin, showing that the pistol had been held
close to the bead, and the powder thus blown
into the bole made by the bullet.
A MIND DISEASED.
Added to this are new- facts coming to light
every day in proof of the argument that Mr.
Gowen was somewhat deranged menially. His
own family admit that, and friends who met
Mr. Gowen here are daily coming forward -with
evidence of slight mental abbcrration.
JJ either PostmasterGeneral Wanamaker nor
any other of Mr. Gowen's friends here have
had the slightest donbt that death came by
suicide. Yet advocates of the murder theory,
whatever their purposes may be, bid fair to get
up something of a furor in furtherance of an
investigation in which they might. probably be
asked to take a band. The Coroner is cen
sured for permitting the removal of the body
without an inquest, and it will not be surpris
ing if in a day or more stories are set afloat of
dark-browed, vUlainoss-lookiog Mollie Ma
puto es, positively known to have been in Wash
ington last week, lurking about Wormley's
and dodging the footsteps of the great lawyer.

Washington, December 17. A delegation
composed of citizens of various places along
the border between British America and the
United States visited the Secretary of the
Treasury to-day to endeavor to induce more
vigorous action for the prevention of the intro
duction of Chinese by this route into the
TJnited States. They represented that the
anti-Chinese law is a dead letter; that Celestials
are coming by the thousands to the United
States by way of Vancouver, and that the new
Korthwest is rapidly being inundated with the
effete Orientals.
' The members of the delegation talked very
brusquely to the Secretary, urging that he use
a portion of the surplus in the better enforce
ment of the anti-Chinese Uw. The means ad
vocated is the appointment of a large number
of additional customs officers, to be stationed
along the border at the crossings of all the
routes from British America. It is whispered
that most of the delegates are candidates for
customs positions.
PERSISTENT ATTEMPTS
To Have tho Revenue Service Transferred
to the Kavv Department.
rraoK x stxtt cobbeepohbzht.
' Washington, December 17. For years the
officers of the Revenue Marine Service, backed
by the Navy Department, have been endeavor
ing to compass the transfer of their service
from the Treasury Department to the Navy
Department. This year they have been more
persistent in their attempt than heretofore,
and have succeeded in inducing many boards
of trade to adopt resolutions asking for the
transfer.
It is argued that by this change the officers
and men of the Revenue marine would be bet
ter schooled, that the vessels would be better
Improved, and the whole in condition to render
effective serviee in case of war. The opponents
if the transfer argue that the service is wholly
for the prevention of smuggling or the commis
sion of frauds on the custom service, ana that
jthe serviee should, therefore, be exclusively
controlled by the Treasury Department.
DEATH ON THE WIRE.
The Horrible Fate of a Fainter Who Came
In Contact With the Electric Current
His Clothing and Flesh
' Bnrocd.
T01.IDO, O., December 17. This morn
ing Bobert S. Dalton. a painter employed
by the Lake Shore Boad, went to the top of
the train shed to measure a skylight for re
pairs. He was missed a couple of hours
afterward and the foreman climbed to the
roof to investigate. He was horrified at
seeing the body of Dalton lying on his back
across the electric light -wires, and the
smoke curling up from his burning clothing
and flesh. The odor fairly sickened him, and,
seeing that Dalton was dead, he at once de
scended to the freight office and telephoned in
to have the current shnt off so the body -could
be removed.
It presented a horrible spectacle. His face
was black, and f r 4m his mouth great flakes of
loam had fallen over his face and on to the
roof. His left arm, which was fearfully burned
above the elbow, was drawn up close to his
'JHL Bide, the elbow bent, and across his back were
f-& Hwo burnt strips about three inches wide where
' he had touched the wires. It is surmised that
in walking on the roof and in endeavoring to
catch himself he backed up against one of the
wires over which he fell, his shoulder striking
on the wire, while his back, just at the base of
the spine, rested oyer the wire where he first
JeU.
His clothing was wet from rain and made an
excellent conductor, and receiving, as he did,
the complete force of the current from two
vires, his death must have been instantaneous.
He's a Hasher.

Grateful Acknowledgment of
Cures by tho Outioura Bemedies.
A minister and his liiils boy enrsd of obstinate
skin diseases by the Cutleara Remedies.
Praises them everywhere, In the pulpit,
horn:, and in the street.
For about U years I have been troubled with ec
zema or some other cutaneous dUeaae which all
remedies failed to cure. Hearing of the CUTlctma.
Kimzdies I resolved to give them a trial, and pur
chased one bottle of Cuticbju. Rssourxsr, one
box of Cuticuba, and one case or CuncnnjL
SOAP. I followed the directions carefully, and It
affords me much pleasure to say that before using
two baf.es of the Cdticuru four cakes of Cuti
cuba boat, and one bottle ot Crmcuiu. Eesol
Vkkt, 1 was entirely cared.
In addition to my own case, my baby boy, then
about At months old, was sofferlnewithwhatl
sappoted to be the same disease as mine to such an
extent that his head was coated over with a solid
scab, from which there was a constant flow of pus
which was elckenlnr. to look upon, besides two
large tumor-like XerneU on the back of bis head.
Thanks to you and your wonderful Cuticuba.
Kemedies, his scalp l perfectly well, and the
kernels have been aeatteredao that there li only
one 11 tut place by his left ear, and that Is healing
nicely, lnitead of a coating of scabs he bas a fine
coal of hair, mnch better than that which was de
stroyed by the dlseaie. I would tnat the whole
world of sufferers from skin and blood diseases
knew the value or your CuncCKA Hemedies as I
do.
The Cuticuba SO Ar and CuncunA Resolvent
are each worth ten times the price at which they
are sold. I have never used any other toilet soap
In my house since I bought the first cake of your

It. and shall continue to speak of It from the pul

in spite of rain or shine, warm or cold.
This is our position.
