I-OLITICAL CHARGES AGAINST THE CENSUS
Ex-Senator Lewis Emery, Jr., and Chair
man Mapes, of the Independent Reoublican
State Committee, leftthe city last evening,
Mr. Emery going to Titusville, where he will
make Koine howl among his friends, and
Mr. Glares will appear to-night before a
Philadelphia audience.
Mr. Emery was greatly pleased with his
reception in Pitt&burg, and feels more con
fident than ever that he is on the right track,
and that. Delamater will be defeated. For
t
tome reason or other he felt very nervous
about appearing before a Pittsburg audi
ence, but after the warm welcome the great
crowd gave him he was at home on the stage.
"You see," he said to a reporter yesterday,
"I am a business man, and don't pretend to
be a speaker. I can talk a little before my
friends, but a strange andience in Pitts
burg frightened me, and I was afraid I
might break down. But after my pleasant
experience here I think I could tackle any
thing. J feel that a great burden has been
lifted off my shoulders."
Emery to Speak Six Nights a Week.
Mr. Emery will speak at Corry, in Erie
county, and before the week is over he will
tpeak in Washington county. He expects
to talk every night, except Sunday, until
the close of the campaign.
Last week Senator Emerv devoted to
Tioga and Butler counties. He says the
Delamater Republicans of Tioga county, j
..which is usually good for 4,000 .Republican
uajerrj , admit that Deiitoitsr "will not
Iiave over 1,800 majority.
' "The anti-Delamater men say," said
Senator Emery, "that Delamater will not
have over 900 majority, and the county ma'
go for Pattison. The same state of aflairs
exists in Bradford county, whose usual
Republican majority is also 4,000. Mc
vKean is certain to go for Pattison. The
other Northwestern counties will also hold
up their end.
"Butler county," continued Mr. Emery,
"will go strongly for Pattison. The Inde
pendent Republican meeting there last
Priday night was remarkable. One feature
o'f it was particularly pleasing to me.
Senator Delamater has declared that Captain
John Morris, the Republican whom he de
feated for Treasurer of Crawford county be
cause he would not agree to deposit his
money in Delamaters bank, is an irrepres
sible drunkard. It occurred to me that
Butler county soldiers would know some
thing about this, and, after I had read tbe
Morris affidavit I asked whether any person
present knew Morris. One after another
five of the most reputable Republicans of
Butler stood up and declared to that great
audience that they had
hen ed in the Same Kogiment
with Captain Morris, had known him inti
mately ever since and were glad to be able
to vouch for him, not only as a brave
to tlier, but as an honest, reputable and
sober man. With this testimony Mr.
Delamater will have to invent some other
excuse for attacking Morris.
Mr. Mapes was in a very hopeful mood
ye-teroay. Before leaving Pittsburg he was
asked what is the situation in the State at
present. He replied:
"Morehopeiul than tbe most sanguine of
us anticipated to be possible. Since the
campaign opened, September 1, there has
been a steadily increasing tide in Pattison's
laor. i.ne close ot every week has found
flip pnfliimificm inprvticmn n...l .- i; IM
. . ...t,.u-, uu luc jines
strengthened at every point. Mr. Quay savs
that the rebellion against Delamater is only
iu spots. He either does not know, or is
talking for buncombe. It is everywhere.
In my speeches at York and here last even
ing, I called attention to the wonderful Re
publican defection iu a few counties like
Crawford, Lawrence, Chester and other oil
counties. What is true of them is true of
the situation all over the State. Some places
the disapproval of the ticket is more bold
and decided than others, but there is not a
county not even Lancaster in which the
disaffection is not much greater than we
anticipated."
"What is the real situation in PhiladeL
phia?"
The Situation in Philadelphia.
"The situation in Philadelphia is good.
At first we were somewhat fearful of a seri
ous ballot-box stuffing and frauds, but that
has been provided against. The State Com-
...: it... T: 1-. -r . .
iiiiiiuc, mc Lincoln anuepenaents ol our
city, aud the Democratic Auxiliary Com
mittee bate formed a joint committee to pre--vent
fraud, composed of most earnest vior
ousv workers of all three of the committees.
A large sum of money has been pledged to
this purpose and detectives employed, law
yers retained, and the committee has gone
to work to make a canvass of the State, and
find all fraudulent names on the assessors'
list, and a man who offers himself to vote on
a false name will find that be has walked
into tbe clutches of the law. We are firm
now in the belief that an honest vote can be
obtained in Philadelphia, and an honest
vote means the election of Governor Patti
son by an overwhelming majority.
"How are the Lincoln Independents and
the State Committee working together?"
"They are working in perfect harmony.
The Lincoln Independent Committee is the
Philadelphia wing ot the great independent
army ot the State, xA they are doing noble
service in the independent columns. They
will place ballots in every Republican
voter's hands before the election, and they
have joined the State Committee in the
work ot holding meetings, organizing the
wards, and making as thorough a canvass of
the State as possible."
How Pattison Would "Win Out.
"How ub'out the vote in Philadelphia?"
"The machine leaders do not claim more
than 15,000 majority for Delamater in Phil
adelphia. They do not expect any, and we
propose to see that they are not disappoint
ed. The legitimate Republican majority in
Philadelphia is about 20,000. Ten thou
sand Republicans toting for Fattison will
wipe that out if an houest count is secured.
We feel very sure that there will be more
than 10,000 Republican votes for Pattison in
Philadelphia. Mr. Quay has admitted that
Delamater will come to Philadelphia with
out any majority, and that all the majority
he will have in the State is that which Phil
adelphia gives. We expect Mr. Pattison to
come to Philadelphia with a rousing major
ity. But if Mr. Delamater depends on
Philadelphia only for his majority he may
just as well go home and consider himself
beaten."
"What do you know, Mr. Mapes, of the
reports that it is proposed to unload a large
amount ot money into Pennsylvania in the
interest of Mr. Delamater?"
"We know that the opposition boasts of it
londly, and we know that money is already
flowing freely in eyery portion of the State,
and that free trains are run to meetings.
That men are employed to make special can
vasses of every election precinct; that thev
are making a special canvass of Democratic
workingmen in the districts in each election
precinct, and that they hope to play
The Old Blocks-of-Fie Game,
with these workingmen, putting in money
enough into the hands of trusty agents in
each preciuct to see that none of them get
away. We have thisJrom a circular sent
out by one ol the county chairmen, which
indicates that they are mailed. We have
no doubt that the circulars have been sent
out in all parts of the State."
"Do you fear the effect of this?"
"We do not. It is an insult to a set of
men who will resent it. They will stand
out and woik for Pattison just to prove that
the poor man's vote in politics is not for
sale. The Democratic workingmen of Penn
sylvania are not going to sell their man
hood, and forsake as clean and pnre and
reputable a candidate as Bobert E. Patti
son for a dummy, a man who has been re
pudiated by thousands ot the best Republi
cans in the State. In other words, the
Democratic workingmen cannot be hired to
pull anybody's chestnuts out of the fire."
"What will be the plan of campaign from
this date?"
"Andrews' plan of campaign is to beat the
drums from now out. To make a great
noise try to produce the impression that the
anti-Delamater tide has been turned; that
the Pattison wave is receding. Bluffs will
be offered in the way of bets, meetings will
be held in every precinct, railroad trains
will be run through, and there will be a
I s1 e.flort made to create the impression of
enthusiasm.
Wind to be Sought and Paid For.
,. "It.will be jilljj-jriad purchased wind
at that, all bought and paid lor.."
"Will tbe tarifl talk save them?'
"Mr. Quay has called a convention of wool
men and intends to raise the tariff scare.
But neither the wool men nor any other in
telligent class of men in this State believe
that the tariff is in any danger. Harry
Oliver says the tariff is settled for ten years,
and Mr. Oliver ought to be good authority
on that subject As far as the independent
campaign is concerned, we propose to make
it as warm as possible, and our people are
not going to be frightened by bluffs or noise.
They will stand to their guns. Thev believe
that victory is sure. They have the right on
their side, and, better than all, they have
confidence that the right is going to pre
vail." "Then you have no doubt that Mr. Patti
son will be the next Governor of Pennsyl
vania?" "None whatever, and we propose to make
his majority so large that nobody will ever
call it a Democratic victorv."
A SUNDAY CONFERENCE

QUARTERS. The Information Kecelied From Various
Sections ot Exactly Encouraging Be
gimUng of the Distribution of the Big
Campaign Fund Cooper In Charge.
special telegram to tux DisPATcn.:
Philadelphia, October 19. .Repub
lican circles had an unusual Sunday stir to
day, callers from out of town, including a
number of Republican county chairmen
suggesting conferences of exceptional im
portance. The full meaning of this series
of conferences will develop to-morrow when
the chairmen of other county committees
East of the Allegheny Mountains are ex
pected to meet Senator Quay, who returns
irom the West to-morrow night. It lacks
but 1G days of election and the chairmen
have been summoned to compare notes, giv
ing in before-band their reports of the
actual condition of affairs in their districts,
leaving out nothing that bears upon a real
and not an assumed situation.
To State Chairman Andrews this is a new
feature in politics, and one that he cannot
properly appreciate. He is therefore absent
in Crawford', looking after Senatorial pros
pects that private advices inform him are
anything but rosy. Extra Chairman
Cooper, however, appreciates the value of
conferences with the chairmen, and as it is
his invention he prefers to meet the man
agers on the same terms that prevailed in
former years. Mr. Quay's circular, sent
out ten days ago as a searching inquiry to
learn the position of Republican voters and
test the pulse respecting independent ten
dencies, began to bear, results during the
past few days. One report from Bucks
county brings very discouraging news.
It says that out of 202 replies
or verbal answers to Manager Keeler at
Doylcstown more than one hundred hereto
fore good Republicans in townships like
Buckingham, Hilltown and Bensalem must
be classed either for Pattison or as doubtful.
Hon. E. K. Martin appears for Lancaster
and says that there is too much apathy
among the Dunkard vote. He states that
strong efforts are making to overcome this,
bnt the farmers are indifferent and do not
appear as interested, as the case has been in
years. ,
Bundles of boodle for campaign purposes
to meet alleged legitimate campaign ex
penses is the business point of the Confer
ence to-day with the varions Chairmen, who
came by twos and threes to receive instruc
tions from headquarters. Extra-Chairman
Cooper is very cartful with whom he deals,
but his bank account for "iegitinftte cam
paign expenses" is more than beautifully
flush just now. V .
The Philadelphia ward workers storm I
the Continental Hotel corridors every day
just now, bnt no money has gone to them
vet. Tbe boodle end of the, campaign is
hurrying the Chairmen in irom all along
the lines, and when they are cared for the
city workers come in lor their little whack.
MAGEE IN NEW YORK.
FRANK STATEMENT FROM THE PITTS.
BURG LEADER.
Those Interested in the Contest Not In a
Position to Judge of the Kesult His
Idea of the General Feeling In Allegheny
County.
r&PECIAL TELEOltAM TO TOT DISPATCH.'!
New York, October 19. C. L. Magee,
who has been at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
during the week, returned to-night to Pitts
burg. Reporters from all the New York
newspapers importuned him vainly to give
his estimate of the political situation in
Pennsylvania The Dispatch corre
spondent said to him: "I am told that
Delamater is not in the race?" To this he
replied with a grim smile: "He never has
been in it. He is not tbe candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania on the Repub
lican ticket. Mr. Quay is the candidate.
Mr. Quay is making the fight and Mr.
Quay is the man who will either be de
feated or victorious."
When Mr.Magee was pressed fbfjan opinion
as to what wonld be the outcome u the con
test he shook his head, and then, with that
frankness which is so characteristic of the
man when he talks at all, which is rarely,
he answered: "The most difficult thingin
the world on which to express an opinion
that possesses any value and that is entirely
disinterested is a political struggle. AH of
us, no matter how tair minded we may be,
are certain to allow our hopes to color our
views. We permit our feelings to control
our judgment Agreat many of our young
Republicans in Allegheny county have
been wagering their money very lavishly in
indorsement of their belief that Pattison will
be elected. I said to those who spoke to me
about it: 'Yon are not in a position tojudge
this contest fairly. You are surrounded by an
anti-Delamater, or rather an anti-Quay sen
timent, and you imagine that every other
county in the State is in a similar condition
of rebellion.' I must confess that the leel
ing which is displayed in Pittsburg in this
matter surprises me. It is not alone the
politicians who are disgruntled, but clerks
and business men who have always roted
tbe Republican ticket are openly declaring
their intention to vote for Pattison. I have
endeavored to keep aloof from tbe struggle,
and although I have succeeded in doing so
it has not been without difficulty. In fact
it has required all my determination to
keep myself from becoming a Mugwump,"
and the Pennsylvania stalwart laughed
hcartilv at his own suggestion.
While Mr. Magee would not hazard any
prediction as to the result of the election his
manner plainly indicated that he expected
to witness the downfall of his one-time asso
ciate, of whom he said: "Apart from-the
men ho holds in the hollow of his hand by
the favors of place I do not think Quay
has a single sincere friend in the entire
State of Pennsylvania."

The sentiment among the delegates here
seems to be against political action, but

New Orleans, October 19. The police

Italians dropping into the place In twos and
threes, and believing that something was
wrong, forced their way in and fonnd a man
addressing a crowd in Italian. Charging
that it was an unlawful assemblage, all
persons present were arrested and carried to
jail.
When they were brought to the station it
was discovered that not one of them bad a
cent or a home, aud that the entire party
had arrived here to-dav from Chicago and
Phad been told to meet at the Graffero place.
As the men could give no explanation of

after the assassins:
.The police authorities insist that they are1
making good progress in the Hennessey as
sassination case; that they have the murder
ers in jail, and will be able to secure the
necessary evidence to convict them.
The assassination, they assert, was headed
by the Matrangos, the head of one of the
Sicilian gangs' herd. It had been planned
long in advance, and the details fully ar
ranged. The honse from which the murder
was committed was rented by Joe Macheca
under the name of John Peterson. Mastero,
Bagnetto, Incardona, Scafidie and two
others who are not yet known, ahd some of
whom had seen Hennessey before, were de
tailed to kill him.
Among tbose identified and against whom
the police claim to have all tbe needful
evidence are John Matrango and the four
assassians. The following Italians are still
locked up in theparish prison without the
benefit of bail.

John Matrango, Antonio Scafidio, An

charged with murder, and Charles atorno,
Charles Matrango, Joseph Macheca, James
Caruso, Rocco Gerocui, Frank Romero and
John Caruso, charged with being accesso
ries to the murder.
The police regard the arrest of the Mat
rangos and Macheca as the most important
made. They are men of great influence
among the Italians and very strong politi
cally. Macheca paid for the rent of the.
Mastero housein advance. At the moment"
that Hennessey was murdered, Macheca and
the Matrangos were at a public supper in
Fabachero's saloon, so that an alibi, -as far
as the murder itself is concerned, is proved.
Macheca was seen four Hours afterward at
4 A. M., in the rear of the city, in consulta
tion with several Italians. . . .

home at Girard and Basin streets, and who
has identified several ol the assassins, has
called upon the Mayor and asked for police
protection.
"WHY HENNESSEY WAS KILLED.
"Hennessey was killed," said Provenzano,
an Italian who has been in jail since May,
"because he was going to expose these men.
He knew all about Matrango and Geracci;
he got news from Italy about them and he
was going to tell what he knew and that
would have broken them up. Matrango
was the head of the Stopaliagieri Society."
"What is that society?" was asked.
"Xhey are the people who work for the
Matrangos. There are about 20 leaders of
them, and there are about 300 greenhorns,
who have to do anything the leaders say.
When Jim Caruso came to me about four
years ago with a letter asking $1,000 for the
Mafia or they would kill us, Caruso told me
Matrango was the President, and Rocco
Geracci was a leader. Caruso said he had
been in it too, but got out of it as soon as he
could. He said they took him into a room
where he saw Matrango dressed in blacK
domino and others in dominos, and they,
made him swear on a skull with a dirk in
it. He said he was willing to rob people,
bnt he did not want to have to kill anybody,
so he got out of it. I did not believe Geracci
was in it, but Caruso told me so again. They
hsve got the Mafia Society everywhere.
They have it in San Francisco, St, Louis,
Chicago, New York and here."

Dillon himself refuses toay anything, ex

and privileges of an ordinary tourist He
is credited, however, with saying that he is

Boulanger's millionaire duchess, who found

Many believe that he is in Canada to agitate
among tbe French Canadians the establish
ment of a French republic in Canada with
Boulangcr at the head.
Several papers profess to know that the
Count's onlv object is the acquisition of
land for Boulanger and Boulangists in

had a confab with Mercier before coming to
Ottawa on the subject of promoting immi

special grants of land and other induce

Beklin, October 19. The Prnssian Min
ister of Commerce has before him a plan
which has already been approved by the
Emperor for starting a workingman's col
ony at Lichtenberg, a suburb of Berlin,
which possesses railway connections with
the center of the metropolis.
It is proposed to erect there 4,000 model
houses and place them at the disposal of
poor people at a monthly rent of $5. -The
houses are valued at 4,000 marts( and the
cheap rent stands in lieu of payments by in
stallment on the property, so that the ten
ant or his family enters into ownership of
the home after 20 years' occupancy without
the least extra payment.
The houses have a seven-meter frontage
and a depth of nine meters, with gardens in
front, big yards at the back, together with
cellars and wash-houses. The entrance floor
contains a parlor, uiningroom and kitchen,
the second floor three large sleeping apart
ments, and over that an extensive garret.
Scientific drawings and the newest inven
tions for ventilation will, be applied to the
domiciles of the poor.
The State boughtTi,ventirely suspended,
land on which the colony is to be estab
lished at a third of its ordinary value, and
the entire building arrangements will be
carried out under tbe supervision of Gov
ernment officers. Only the best materials
are to be used, and tbe objectionable same
ness, which so detracts from similar con
structions, is toie strictly avoided.
This is an important step in tbe execution
of the paternal policy of socialist reforms
inaugurated by the present Kaiser, and the
friends of the Government hope that the So
cialist members of the Diet, as well as tbe
Catholic's Center, will back them up in
their benevolent schemes and thereby set an
an example to the other great commercial
honses of Germany.
' STARVING WEAVERS.
Thousands In the Duko of Itatibor'g Domains
Wretchedly Paid.
TBT DUJJLAP'S CABLE COMPASY.l
Berlin, October 18. All last week from
Tuesday to Saturday the aristocratic fam
ilies of Germany were busy sending letters
of congratulation to Castle Randen, where
the Duke of Ratibor celebrated with elabor
ate festivity the fiftieth anniversary of his
elevation to the ducal rank by Frederick
William IV. The Duke, who is a brother
of the Governor of Alsace-Lorraine, is im
mensely rich and tho landlord of CO weav
ing villages in Silesia, whose 20,000 in
habitants are the poorestand most neglected
of the entire empire. Belonging to his
domain are the districts of Rvbinck and
'8c!rwientoItriritz7 where hunger typns'fle'Ter
quite ceases to levy its tolls of victims all
tho year round, and where the women and
children have to exist on a diet of weak
coffee, poor potatoes and a soup made of
sour flour. The men at times on pay day
enjoy the luxury of a piece ofbaconora
sausage, which they claim by the right of
the stronger.
The town of Myslocjitz also belongs to the
Duke. Thiols the place where poor weavers
ran a line over the river to the Austrian
bank to which was fastened a bag on a
pulley to bring over into Prussian territory
small quantities of flour, that necessary of
'life being 3oner cent cheaper in unprotected
Austria than in protected Prussia. The
Duke's guards soon stopped these proceed
ings and the weavers went on starving as
usual. In all the accounts of the Duke's
jubilee I have" not come across a line to in
dicate that he has made it an occasion for
bettering the condition of these poor people.
LOVE'S LIVELY CHASE.
A Bashful Suitor Pursues His Adored One
and Gets Her In Time.
BY DUXLAr'S CABLE COMPAOTT.l
Queenstown, October 19. Just as the
Cunard steamship Servia was on the point
of leaving this afternoon, a romantic inci
dent happened which caused a flutter of ex
citement among all the passenger?. It was
caused by Miss Kate Walsh, a pretty tele
graph operator in Birmingham, who had
embarked from Liverpool, and Mr. Feely,
who also hails from the same city. Young
Feely has been very attentive to Miss
Walsh for a long time, and was quite dis
consolate when she left for Liverpool to em
bark. After tbe steamer sailed to-day be
made up bis mind he could not live without
ber, so he resolved to take the mail train
and went to Holyhead and thence to
Queenstown.
The pursuing lover boarded the Cunarder
and hunted among the passengers till he
found tbe pretty telegraph operator, whom
he begged to go ashore and marry him.
After much persuasion, Miss Walsh con
sented, but she said to her once bashful
lover: "Ah, you should have asked me
before. You were almost too late." They
left the ship amid the congratnlations of
the passengers.
SENSATION" ON CANVAS.
Ladies Faint at Seeing Remarkable Paint
ing of Christ,
BY DUSLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.
Berlin, October 19. The well-known
Russian painter, Nicoli, a follower of Count
Leo Tolstoi, is now .exhibiting here a re
markable realistic -fiicture which he calls
"What is the Truth?" It represents Christ
before Pilate at the moment when Pilate
asks the Savior the above question.
Tbe picture isj causing a great sensation,
and is a fruitful topic of conversation. It
is of the ultra realistic type, and represents
Christ as He is supposed to have looked at
that time; thus the Savior's clothes are
dirty and torn, His hair is disheveled and
His whole appearance is suggestive of the
struggle through which He had passed.
Several ladies fainted in the gallery alter
looking at tbe picture.

HOLLEY, N. Y., October 18. A tensa -
ItiQnal death wasj-eported' on Satnrdar
which later developments may prove to
have been a foul murder. William B.
Hakes, a farmer residing near Sandy Creek,
waa found dead iu his bed on Saturday
morning. On Friday Hakes drew grain to
Hnlley and received from the buyer about
5120. The same evening he accompanied
his wife to a social. He told that he had
over 5100. Later be returned home without
his wife and spent the night alone. Satur
day morning Hakes' hired man, James
Beck, who lives near by, came to work as
usual. As Hakes did- not appear Beck at
tempted to call him, but received no an
swer. Jbinally raising tbe bedroom window
and entering, he found Hakes in bed dead.
On examination it was discovered that the
doors into the woodshed and kitchen had
been forced open. On the kitchen floor
were found Hakes' pants with the pockets
turned inside out. His pocket book was
lying near by, empty. A silver piece was
also found upon the kitchen floor where it
had rolled from one of the pockets. Over
Hakes' face lay a towel, and in the absence
ot any marks of violence it seems certain
that robbers chloroformed him and that he
died from the effects. A coroner's inquest
and autopsy will be held to morrow.

nbove tbe left eye and passing through the
braiu and out the back of tbe head.
The wound, which was a ghastly sight,
was" pronounced fatal, and everv one "ex
pected tbe little sufferer to die. Instead of
dying he rallied and soou began to take
nourishment. The surgeons inserted a
silver tube in tbe wound until it passed en

physicians are of the opinion that the child
may recover. He now seems cheerful and
tbe discharge of puss is growing less each

yesterday, when being escorted to tbe court
room to hear the verdict of the jury before
whom be was tried for the murder of Mrs.
Paul O. Rudert, at Tarentum. His prayer
was answered, and he now lies in the county
jail beneath the somber shadow of the
gallows.
The jury reached a verdict of guilty or
murder in the first degree at 10 o'clock Sat
urday night. Judge Magee was notified,
and Said he would receive the verdict at 1
p. M. yesterday, and in the meantime the
other persons interested were notified to be
present
The scene in the' cold, gloomy conn room
was very impressive. A drizzling rain was
falling; tbe gray clouds were scurrying
across the skies to avoid being witnesses to
the culmination of ono of the darkest
tragedies that ever blotted the record of
Allegheny county, and the wind sobbed
aud sighed with its untold burden of grief
and horror. Judge Magee walked in
silently and took his seat, and immediatelv
Vfollowing him came District Attorney
JZohnson and Thomas H. Marshall and his
son, the counsel for the prisoner, who with
downcast mien, took his seat directly
behind them.
GUILTY OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
Crier Oehmler's "Oyez, Oyez," echoed
drearily through the lo.ty room as he opened
court, and then the jury marched in by
twos, took their places.and were polled.
"Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a ver
dict in the case of the Commonwealth
against Alexander Killian, indicted for
felony?" asked Clerk McGunnigle.
"We bae," answered the jury in unison.
"Who shall answer for yon?"
"Our foreman."
"What say you, gentlemen of the jury, is
the prisoner guilty or not guilty?"
"Guilty of murder in the hrst degree,"
again replied the jury in unison.
The prisoner's head dropped still lower
on his breast, and a shiver of mingled
horror, sympathy and sorrow passed over
the small knot of spectators in the lobby,
like the ripple caused by the autumn wind
in a dark mountain pool.
Foreman Jauie3 Phillips then arose, and
with tbe tears coursing down his cheeks,
while bis voice was choked by emotion,
said: "We find the defendant, Alexander
Killian, guilty of tbe felony as indicted."
Judge Magee received the verdict ia
silence, tbe jury was dismissed, tbe prisoner
returned to jail, in a moment the court
room was empty, and tbe curtain fell upon
another act in the Tarentum tragedy.
A SENSATIONAL CRIME.
The murder of Mrs. Rndert was a pecu
liarly sensational crime. On the evening
of December 23 three, men landed from a
4 skiff at Tarcntum,
It was about 10 o clock.

and (he streets. were deserted, the unwonted 7
snectaclo ot a minstrel troupe atlhe stating
rink having attracted everyone who was
willfug to venture out Mr. and Mrs. Rudert
kept a small jewelry store and most of tbe
stock was in the show window. One of tbe
men pressed his back and shoulders against
the glass and forced it in, while another
man hastily scooped watches, chains and
other articles ot jewelry into a small satchel.
Mr. and Mrs. Rudert were in tbe room be
hind tbe store and heard the crash of break
ing glass. Mrs. Rudert rushed into the
store, and as she peered through the window
to see who was committing the depredation,
the third man in thejpartv, who bad a hand
kerchief over bis face and bad hitherto
taken no part in the proceedings, drew a
revolver, and firing point blank at Mrs.
Rudert, shot ber through tbe temple, kill
ing her instantly.
Mr. Rudert, who l.ad lost a few moments
getting his revolver, ran to the door only in
time to see the three men crossing the nver
in a skiff and beyond pursuit
TRACKING THE CRIMINALS.
The Pittsburg police bent their energies
to discovering the murderers. They believe
that beyond doubt Peter Griffin, Thomas
Conroy and "New York Shine," three
noted desperadoes, were connected with the
murder. They fasten Killian's connection
with tbe case by finding some of the stolen
jewelry in his possession and by proving
that bis skiff was used by tbe murderers.
Killian admitted this much, bnt claimed
tbat be merely loaned the skiff to the men
and did not know that they intended to com
mit a crime when tbey borrowed it
Inspector McAleese is confident tbat he
will get Griffin vet, and believes tbat he did
the shooting. Tbe police believe that the
reason they have not been able to find
Griffin is because he is in prison. He has
a repntition of being apparently more eager
to break into such places than mast men are
to get nut
Killian's reputation is very bad. He has
served 12 years in the penitentiary and some
time in the workhouse for various crimes.
Detective Conlson, who has worked on the
case, believe the verdict is a righteons one. '
The woman Teets, who was living with Kil- '
lian iu a joboat at tbe time of the murder, is ;
also considered a hard cose by tbe police. '
ANOTHER SUNDAY-VERDICT.
This is the second time a verdicVias bees

case was that of George or Babe Jones, in
dicted with Jesse Carter for the murder of a
man named Foster on Water street The
jury iu tbat case reached their verdict on
Sunday and Judge Bailey was fonnd at
service in Trinity Chnrcb, and left tbe
church to receive the verdict
There are now three Allegheny county
murderers waiting for the gallowsKillian,
who was convicted yesterday, Frank
Grade, who killed his little stepdaughter
in Allegheny, and William Smith, the
colored wife murderer, whose sentence to be
hanged on November 29, has not yet been ,
