There they found tbeir neighbor Hibbard and Mrs. Ide. Ido made his presence known. Hibbard was frightened almost ont of his senses and plead for mercv. But a moment afterward he wa"s shot. Tho Ides w ere arrested, pend ing investigation. The Coroner secured an ante-mortem statement from Hibbard, who said that tho senior Ide had grappled with him on enter ing, but he was getting the better of him when his sons camo to the rescue, armed with'shotguns. They fired two charges into him, one of which entered his neck and tho other his uaqk. He is still living. Hibbard has held numerous offices in the State and town. His relations with Mrs. Ide are said to have been of long standing, and known to some. He had been repeatedly warned by friends to give up the intimncj', but without result.

She Indulges in Strange Talk to an In quisitive Reporter, ABOUT TIIE WOMAX SUE TIUED TO KILT, CixciNXATr, Sept. 13. Vera Ava still remains the heroine of a cunning romantic episode or the victim of a cruel outrage. There is a strong disposition here to regard her as Diss Debar sailing under another name. Sirs. Bonnell, p of 2f ew York, wjio knows Diss Debar, called on her last even ing and said: "This is not Diss Debar." The dispatch from New York last night gave a description of the real Diss Debar from a statement ot Inspector Byrnes. It tallies with that of 3Iiss Ava in that Debar was fat, had blue eyes, wore a wig and was a voluble talker. After that it diverges. This Ava woman has by no means a repul sive countenance. Debar's nose is described as large and coarse. This woman's is neither large nor coarse. Debar was described as H feet 2 inches high. This woman says she is 5 feet 4 inches high, and that she is ready to prove it br measurement. Debar is described as weighing 280 pounds. This woman says she weighs 200 pounds, and is willing to prove it by going on the scales. She looks as if she might weigh 230 pounds. TIIEWOMAS IS CONFIDENT. To a reporter late this evening she scouted the Debar theory, and said: "Witnesses will settle that. Every person that ever knew Debar will, on seeing me, testify that I am not that woman." At this stage, of the Interview the Lieu tenant of Police camo into the office of tho House of Detention nnd announced that a Mr. Hummel, of New York, who said he would know Diss Debar in any disguise, would arrive here to-morrow to see whether or not she was Diss Debar under another name. She expressed herself delighted, and said: "That will settle the matter.'' This morning she was visited bya commlt teoof roligious women from the Woman's Chiistlan Temperance Union. She led in pra er and afterward thrilled them with her eloquence, taking for her text tho condition of some more children that occupied ceils in the House of Detention. A reporter this evening asked her whv she did not mako known tho names of hor friends in London so that she might get help tiom them. She said, "I have mv reasons for that. I have a right to expect help from Dr. Bol ton. It was only last Sunday night that my money was more than one-third of all that went into his contribution box." Then sho broke out into an uncontrolled denouncia tionof Dr. Bolton, accusing him of ingrati tude and unfaithfulness in not coming to her aid. WILL LECTURE IX STOCKING FEET. Then recovering composure she said: "I think I shall lecture here some time this week Just as I am in my stocking feet. I think I can raise money in that way to got back to Chicago. Just then she arranged her calico dross somewhat, and throwing a sash of heavy black crepe around her neck, she said: "This is all that is left of the woman I killed, or tried to kill, on Friday, when I made my escape. I intend to keep this as long as I live, and I hope to bo buried in it when I die." Then she drifted away into talk about her scheme to lilt childhood out of the slums. In this connection sho said Archbishop Feehan was displeased with her, not on ac count of her efforts to elevate the wretched, but because she took the poor children to Dr. Bolton's congregation. In all her con versation her voice was clear, her enuncia tion perl eet, her story consecutive and her language fluent and well put together in vigorous English.

' KNOWS LITERARY PEOPLE WELL. With a view to get at something of her an tecedents by strategy, the reporter made some inquiries about London people and English notables in literature and art. "Oh.yes," said she; "I knew Madame Bla vatsky. She had great learning; knew Hin doo; Syriac, Arabic and other oriental lan guages." "Did you know Walter Bcsant?" "Oh.yes; I have met him. He is not Annie Besant'a equal. Ho is a dudo in literature. He lacks the constructive faculty." 'I supposo you have met John P.uskin?" "Oh, no; but I have seen him. He was red headed, wore a very long beard, had a very big head and a little body. How the artists do hato him!" At this moment the conversation turned upon art. She said: "Tho British museum looks stiff. You should go to Borne to see great galleries, where ltaphaels are abund ant." Speaking of modern English literature she said: "I wish I had a copy of Charles Kings ley's 'Water Babies' here. I would like to read it again alter that scene this morning in front of the cells containing little chil dren shut en charged with oiime. Why those two little boys charged with bnrglarv were not much more thanibubics! I don't believe cither, or them will weigh over 50 pounds. This remark started bar off on her hobby again, the care for the poor. She said: "If I would make myself known to my English relatives money would flow in to me. I have money of my own. I inherited it from ancestors that got it by theft and robbery, and, as God is my Judge, it shall go back to God's poor, whoro it originally came from."

Laflies&Misses' Snits STATE SUGAR SCHOOL Under Way in Louisiana, With a Full' Corps of Professors EXPERTS TURNED OUT ON DEMAND, To Oversee Cane Culture and the Making of the Sweet Stuff. BIG PAT ATTACHED TO TUB BUSINESS rSPECIAt. TELTOHAM TO THE DISPATCn.I New Orleans, Sept. 13. Under the auspices of the State and the Louisiana Agricultural and Scientific Association, a sugar school has been established in this city, and will go into operation here next month, for the purpose of educating all who desire to take the course in the culture of cane and the manufacture of sugar from it. The school is equipped with a corps of five professors of sugar agriculture, sugar chemistry, analytical chemistry, sugar mechanics, and sugar-making respectively. It has a plantation attachedwith a small sugar house on it, but one thoroughly equipped with the latest and most improved machinery; a library containing all the books and journals on sugar, and everything necessary to teacli this industry. The course will be one of two years, at the end of which time the student will be turned out a thorough sugar-maker; a chem ist prepared to carry on a sugar plantation in the most scientific manner. There is, and always has been, a demand for this- class of experts, for the supply is far too small. A Fr.OFITABLE BUSINESS. The pay is very good, for a skilled sugar- maker can readily command between ?o0u and $1,000 a month. The planters compete for the better ones, and some of them even receive a percentage on the crop raised, on the theory that this will encourage tnem to greater efforts, for how much sugar ten tons of cane will produce and what quality of snsiar is made from it depend upon tho sugar maker who has charge of the planta tion. The necessity of having a skilled man in charge of tho business is now greater than ever, since tho bonus paid under tho Mc Kinley bill is graded on the quality of sugar provided. Sluch of the open-kettle sugar falls below the 80 per cent saccharine limit, and will under the law receive no bonus whatever unless an expert is in charge of the manu facture and turns out n higher grade arti cle. A difference of 1 per cent in tho amount of saccharine in the sugar makes a difference of $80,000 in bonus to tho planter whoso plnce piodnccs 2.000,000 pounds. IXCKEASINa TnE INDUSTRY. It is believed that this will cause tho sugar-makers to be more in demand than ever, and there are not enough to go around now as it is. Moreover, there will be a large" increase in tho industry and In the number of sugar houses in operation, it is said, in tbe next fcwyears,inconsequenceof the stimulus given to it by the McKinley bill. Tho sugar industry as now conducted requires ex perienced men, skilled not In agriculture alone, llko the old style overseers, but with a thorough knowledge of analytical chem istry and mechanics in the various branches, and who keep abreant of tbe times and all the latest discoveries and inventions. The Louisiana Agricultural and Selentifie Association, recognizing the necessity of such experts, and knowing that they are to be obtained in no other way, as there is no institution in the United Slates where they can get the specific instruction they need, has aided in establishing this sugar school here, believing that the large pay guaranteed to sugar experts will assure a eooa attendance. The school is of some in terest outside of Louisiana, for it promises to be the principal factor -in enabling that State to largely increaso its production of sugar and supply the demand of tho country.

TR0USANDS OF CLAIMS CONTINUE TO FOUR INTO TIIE I'EN T.SION OFFICE FOB ATTENTION. Almost a Million of Them Are Now Pending The Vast Amount of Work .Required Upon Them Commissioner Itamn'a Keply to a Congressman. "Washington, Sept. 13. General Enochs, member of Congress, elected from the Twelfth Ohio district, came to Wash ington for the purpose of a consultation with the Commissioner of Pensions as to the seeming delay in the settlement of pension claims, and especially as to the Pension Bureau on calls made by the Gen eral as to status of claims, some of his calls being answered promptly and others not for months, if at all. In answer, Commissioner Itaum has written General Enochs an in structive letter, in which he says among other things: "In compliance with your request of this date, in regard to certain matters connected with the business of the Pension Office, I beg to advise you that I have been and am now doing nil I can to secure the prompt adjudication or all claims pending in this bureau. On the first day of July there wero Sr23,"iSJ claimants prosecuting cases before tho bureau, who have never been pensioned, nnd there were-305,689 claims pending in tho shape of claims for Increaso of pension and duplicate, claims under different laws, mak ing a grand total of 929,420 pending claims. It will be obvious from this statement of the volume of business here that it is prac tically impossible to bring all these casos to immediate settlement. "I have adopted certnln rules for tho gov ernment of the business of the office, where by claims which are complete shall have tho right of way nnd be hurried to the earliest possible settlement. I have felt, too, that where claimants lire already rcceivinga con siderable pension, they are not entitled to as great a proportion of the official force working up their claims lor increase or pen sions ns those claimnnts old soldiers and widows who are not drawing pensions. "Now in addition to letters of members of Congress, the office last year received 1,170, 6G0 communications from claimants, their friends and attorneys, making in quiry as to the condition of these claims. These communications poured in at the rate of more than S,EO0perday. By directing tho energies of the office to tbe adjudication of claims and keeping the force steadily at work upon that business, I have at last brought the office up to the adjudication oi C0.000 claims per month. I believe that this can be kept -tip during the present fiscal year." THE OLD LEADEB3 GONE. Mrs. John A. Logan Says the Republican Party Is Disintegrating. Joliet, Sept. 13. Mrs. John A. Logan was hero to-day. In tho course of an interview she said: "Blaine is the mostpopulnr man within tbe ranks of tbe Kepublican party, but it is a question whether he can placate or coalesce all divis ions of Republicans in the various States. lie could not do so in tho past, and it docs not seem possible, with the disinte gration now going on, that he can do so a year hence. The old leaders who won vic tory for the party have gone, and in their place stand many whose ambition and avar- j party. "Do I think the Republicans will win in the coming coitfpaign? Certainly, if united. But if they cannot unite in Illinois, a singlo State, how can you expect them to unite in all the States? They seem to be falling to pieces of their own weight and through their diversity pf opinions nnd efforts. I can hardly fail to see thojignsof the times." "Do you Tegard Democratic success as pos sible?" was asked. "Yes, and more than possible, unless Re publican malcontents put their shoulders to tho wheel and work from patriotic motives, as was the case under the old leaders." Ocean Steamship Arrivals.
