O'BKIEX DENIES KEDMOX'D'S CHARGES
Cokk. Nov. 5. Dr. Charles Tanner, M.
P. for Mid-Cork, called to-day upon the
SherifiTof Cork and entered a formal protest
against the quantity of stones laid about in
the streets, ostensibly for repairing pur
pose"!. Dr. Tanner called attention to the
fact that in view of the polling to-morrow
in the election to be held for a successor in
Parliament to Parnell, these stones might
be used with deadly effect upon the sup
porters of Mprtin Flavin, the McCarthyite,
and John L Eedmond, the Parnelli-c.
Dr. Tanner declared that he would have
an inquiry made into the matter, and if it
is discovered that the stone had been laid in
the streets with an ulterior object he would
insist upon the dismissal of the City En
gineer, who was responsible for having
them placed about the citj.
On the evftol the poll in Cork the can
vassing is being carried on with redoubled
energy on every side. According to an' un
biased forecast the result will be in favor of
the Anti-Psrncllite candidate by a majority
.offtOO votes. Patrick O'Brien, M. P., at a
meeting to-day, declared that "William
O'Biien, in a conversation with him when
lhe O'Shca divorce proceedings were pend
ing, promised to adhere to Mr. Parnell
hate cr the bishops did.
Soli'iers Arrive on the Scenn.
Great excitemcntprevails. Both parties are
making their final appeals to the voters, and
an active canvass is in progress. The arrival
of two additional companies of soldiery from
Dublin indicates how the authorities regard
the situation. The police will all be on
duty, cither on the streets or in the barracks,
awaiting the order to go to any place liere
they may be needed. It is believed that a
good proportion of the "..000 Uniolj' v-ri
w ill be thrown for the Parnellite candidate
and there is no expectation, that Sarsfield
can be elected.
Late to-night a crowd of Parnellites at
tacked and stoned a body of McCarthyites
parading in AVinthrop street and singing
"God save Ireland." The McCarthyite
.fled to the bridge, where thev turned and
faced their pursuers. llach side showered
missiles upon the other, but eventually the
Parnellites captured the bridge. About
the same time a detachment of police ar
rived, and after difficulty they succeed -d in
dispersing the rioters. Many persons were
cut with the stones.
O'Brien Denies His Enemies' Charges.
Mr. O'Brien, in a speech in this city this
evening, said that the Bedniond and" Har
rington manifesto was a tissue of grotesque
falsehoods. "Just imazine," he said, '.'four
Irish members of Parliament asking the
Irish Bishops to withdraw their letter and
to repeal the sixth commandmenX Theonly
existing copy of the Boulogne proceedings
was in the hands of Mr. Parnell's repre
sentatives." Continuing, lie said: It was a lie to say
that he had made a second copy and de
stroyed it. It was equally a lie to say that
they offered Mr. Parnell the right to veto
the home rule bill. The only proposal
made as solace to Mr. Parne"ll was to
give him a consultative voice with Mr. Mc
Carthy on the details of the future bilL
Mr. O'Brien concluded by reading a tele
gram from Mr. Gill confirming his a ersion
of the affair.
Timothy M. Healy was expected to at
tend a convention held in Sligo to-day, but
he did not appear. Mr. Kilbride, M. P.,
apologized for Mr. Healy and explained
that his absence was not due to the personal
injuries received in the encounter with Mr.
McDermott, but important business de
tained bim in Berlin.
GEBHANY HAS ITS BASDSLEY.
Koyalty and the Xobility Impoverished by
the Wolff Bank Failure.
Br.RLTK, Nov. 5. The suspension yester
day of the firm of Hirsehfeld & AVolff, the
hankers of this city, caused a sensation in
financial circles, but it wa,s as nothing to
tl.c developments to-day. It was rcpoited

members of the most aristocratic families

Under such circumstances a rigid investi

binkers business methods commenced yes
terday and resulted this morning in "the
arrest ot Hcrr Wolff head of the firm, on a
chaige ot a mo:st serious nature, the particu
lars of aliicii have not yet been made
public. Tins financial upheaval is the only
thing being talked about to-day in Berlin,
and further aud more startling develop

derstood that it is very high.

A MELEE AT A MINING MEETING.
Two Shareholders rroceed to Decorate
Each Other's Countenances.
liOXDox, Nov. 5. At a meeting to-day
of the shareholders of the Idaho Mining
Company, Mr. Marden, a holder of 1,500
shares, accused certain of tl& directors of
being dummies appointed through the com-
Sany's solicitor, and said that those
irectors' fees ought to be reduce. Chair
man Grantou called Mr. Marden to order.
Another speaker questioned whether either
gold or silver had ever been got out of the
mine.
As the meeting was dispersing a melee
arose between Mr. Granton and Mr. Mar
den, who fought each other all around the
room, knocking about directors, sharehold
ers, reporters and others and overthrowing
the furniture. The combatants finally fell
to the floor, where they continued to punch
each other until Colonel "W. 11. Moffatt,
assisted by reporters, dragged them apart.
Both were badly disfigured.

Paris, Nov. 5. A sensational murder

cellar in the Kue Charonne yesterday. The
authorities have made an investigation into
the affair which has already resulted in
establishing the following tacts:
The bodv was that of a man who had been
strangled before he had been beheaded. A
track of blood from the cxterio" of the cel

or murderers carried the headless trunk to
the place where it was found from the spot

A York Family Blake a Tour of the South
and West.
Dr. J. F. Small, Henry Small, Mrs. D. E.
Small aud Miss Small, a prominent family
of York, Pa., stopped over night at the
Monougah-l-i House, returning from a seven
week," tour of the South Southwest, Cali
fornia and the Northwest.
The party followed the same route as pur
sued by President Harrison last spring.
They had a remarkably delightful trip, and
come back to their native State improved
jn mind aud body.
Dr. Small's description of the "West was
glowing, and he said for many features it
eclipsed the East. The railroad seVvice on
the big trunk lines was more than satii
factory, and especially on Northern Pacific
He said that the Pennsylvania I'ailroad's
famous "liinitei was not equal to the
servvie of the fast and first-class
trains on that hue. The dining service was
simpl delightful, and the time made was
scheduVi up to a second.
Henry Small has an odd collection which
he gathered on the t.-lp. It is pictures of
every hotel at which the family stopped.
Many of them are of the mos?- modern arch
itecture and equal to the grand hostelries
of the metropolU in point of service. They
were in tlrs Palace Hotei when the recent
earthquaks took place on the slop i. The
great structure wavered for a moment and
the sensation was very thrilling to every
guest, many of whom began to flee to the
streets. Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., are on
the wane. They have been artificially in
flated and boomed, and now a reaction is
settling upon the mushroom cities of the

cities in the West.

Chinamen Must 1o Taken to the Orient
Direct Instead of to Canada.
DrntoiT, Nov. 5. Judge Swan to-day
handed down an opinion on the subject of
the Chinese deportation, which is perhaps
the first complete ruling upon the question.
TliB tasB was that of "Chong Sam,"
whose arrest was effected at Port
llnro-i Julv !), for having beeu unlaw
fully in the country under the Chinese
expulsion and prohibition act. The China
man was examined by a commissioner, and
he Mas found in possession of a certificate
issued bv the customs officer of Vancouver,
B. C," dated May 21, 1891, per
mitting him to return to Canada.
It was also shown that he had
been arrested before at Detroit and returned
to Canada by order of Commissioner Graves.
Upon the second appearance of the China
man he was ordered sent back to China un
der a ruling of one of the State Depart
ments, to which was referred the construc
tion of the law.
A brief resume of the decision is that
"the order of the Commissioner directing
the deportation of Cuomr Sam to China is
reversed, and that the United States Mar
shal is instructed to cause him to be re
moved to China."

SHERMAN AND FORAKER AS RIYALS
Chicago, Nov. 4. The Chicago Tribune
will to-morrow print the following: A
Tribune reporter met Colonel A. L. Conger,
the Ohio member of the Republican Na
tional Committee, in the city to-day, and
while discussing the principle of reciprocity
Colonel Conger said: "Let me give you a
little incident which occurred during Presi
dent Garfield's administration that(I hap
pened to know about. There is a little bit
of unwritten history in connection with it,
and it will do no harm to give it at this
this time. It shows that reciprocity was to
be the great policy to be developed in Presi
dent Garfield's administration, and that his
great Secretary of State was unmistakably
its author.
"I happened to arrive in AVashington on
the early morning train on the day that
Senator Conkling' resigned his seat in the
United States Senate. Upon my arrival at
the hotel the first person I met was Hon.
Emory Storrs, the eloquent orator of Chi
cago, and close friend of Senator Conkling.
I remarked to Mr. Storrs, 'You are an early
riser. He replied, 'Yes, I have been too
much disturbed to sleep.'
The Conflict Over the Collectorship.
"He then told me that he had been with
Senator Conkling till long after midnight;
that the Senator, as was well known, was
greatly displeased with the appointment of
Mr. Robertson as Collector of the Port of
New York, and proposed to resign his seat
in the Senate that day, and that dissension
in our party, and perhaps disaster, would
follow.
"AVe took breakfast together and discussed
the possibilities of a reconciliation or the
harmonizing of the differences. It was
agreed that I should call upon the President
at once and lay the situation before him. I
immediately proceeded to the AVhite House,
met President Garfield and Marshal Henry
and made known my mission. President
Garfield requested me to have Mr. Storrs see
Senator Conkling at once and assure him
that he (Garfield) had no personal feeling
in the matter; that he meant no disrespect
to the Senator in the appointment, and that
he stood ready to carry out any wish of the
Senator's that was fair and reasonable, ex
cept that he could not recall the appoint
ment of Senator Robertson; that he would
be glad to have Mr. Storrs see the Senator
and bring any suggestions he might have to
ofler concerning the .appointments of his
friends to other positions.
Waiting for Sir. Conkling' Beply.
"I returned to the hotel and reported to
Mr. Storrs the result of my interview with
the President. Mr. Storrs seemed well satis
fied wlththe proposition; said lie would see
Senator Conkling, and he believed hecould
get him to reconsider his determination to
resign, and I should return to the AVhite
House, inform the President that he would
see the Senator immediately and that I
should there wait his arrival.
"I retnrnei to the President and we waited
for tidings from Mr. Storrs, but none came.
Finally Mr. Brown, the President's private
secretary, pame in and handed the Presi
dent a telegram. It was from the Capitol,
announcing that Senstor Conkling had re
signed his seat in-tlie United States Senate.
"I shall never forget the look upon Presi
dent Garfield's face when he read the tele
garm. He handed it tome and said: 'It is
up the die is cast; Senator Conkling has
'resigned his seat iu the Senate, and thj con
sequences, whatever they may be, must rest
with him. Nothing further can -he done
now.'
'I remarked to tbs President that I was
very sorry at the turn matters had taken;
that I was fearful the Stalwart Republicans
would side with Mr. Conkling and that it
might create a split in the party and defeat
his renomination. Now, mark his reply.
President Garfield's Vague Hint.
"Putting Ms hand upon my shoulder,
President Garfield said: 'Mr. "Conger d-
not be alarmed AVe shall develop a policy
during my administration'which will make
the Republican party more popular with
the people of this country than it has ever
been since tne uay ot its uirtn.
"AVe parted, and I never saw-poor Gar
field again. His assassination came soon
after. Now, as to the policy about which
he spoke tha"t was to become so popular
with the people. I visited AVasliington
several months after President Arthur had
taken his seat as President, with his Cab
inet reorganized. I think Mr. Blaine 'at
that tima was working upon his book. I
met Major McKiniey and we went together
to call and pay our respects to Mr. Blaine.
AVe found him at his house and had a pleas
ant chat with him for half or three-quarters
of an hour.
"During this conversation Mr. Blaine
took up and discussed the proposed Pan
American Congress, which, he said, would
have been held and the project carried out
under the Garfield administration, and ex
pressed his great sorrow and disappoint
ment at the unforseen calamity which had
prevented it He then went on to demon
strate the great advantages that would ac
crue to this country under the proposed pol
icy which they had hoped to inaugurate.
Tho Policy of Reciprocity-Protection.
"He discussed the policy of reciprocity
coupled with protection and the benefits to
accrue to the American people, and espec
ially our manufacturers, our laboring nien
and the American farmers; how it would
provide an additional market for American
cereals, American beef and pork and Amer
ican farm machinery, etc.
"Being largely identified with the busi
ness of manufacturing American agricul
tural machinery, a business in which there
was at that time more than 5200,000,000 in
vested, I was quick to catch every word
that 3Ir. Blaine uttered during the conver
6ation. I saw in it a policy that would put
in motion the wheels of nearly every manu
facturing establishment in the United
States; that would give employment to the
great mass of American workingmen; that
would further the interests of the American
farmer, and the last words that Garfield had
spoken to me touchin the popularitv of
the policy that he would develop during'his
administration flashed across my mind. I
was particular to catch all of this, because
in politics legislation which effects one's
business always attracts the greatest atten
tion. Bad Garfield Only Lived.
"I have no doubt if Garfield had lived
that the samejiolicy which Mr. Blaine has
now inaugurated under President Harrison
would have been fully carried out by Blaine
underPfesidentGarfield. It isthis wonderful,
E radical and far-seeing statesmanship that
as given Mr. Blaine such a stronghold in
the hearts of the American people, almost
irrespective of party. He is to-day a million
votes stronger than "his party."
In another interview to-day Colonel Con
ger said: "McKiniey has won a magnifi
cent victory in our State, and the policy
of protection and reciprocity will win the
battle for the Republicans in 1892. AVe
have carried the Legislature and we shall
put the Congressional districts back where
they belong, giving the Republicans just
and fair repfesentation.
"xes, there war De a ineiiaiy contest be
tween Foraker and Sherman or the Sena
torship. Foraker is especially popular
with the younger element of the party
in our State, and they will make a strong
fight for him. It is too early to state

DARK AS THE NltiHT.
Testerday Was One of tho Gloomiest Daji
on Becord Sergeant Stewart Give a
Sclentiflo Explanation of It It Recalls
John Brown's Execution.
The darkness of yesHerday morning from
10 o'clock till long in the afternoon was
unprecedented of late jjeiks, and caused a
good deal of wonder as well as .incon
venience. Gas and electric lights blazed in
the offices and stores as if night had fallen.
The scene mnst have reminded the "blahsted
Britisher" of his beloved London, although
the darkness was not due so much to a fog
on the lower levels as -a shrouding of
the sky bv dark clouds. As a matter
of fact the view along the streets
was clear enough, but above the
masses of dark gray cloud, and banks of
smoke mingled with midnight effects. Such
darkness has been rare for a good while,
and the last dav resembling it was as long
ago as December 6, 1890. The signal serv
ice authorities say that since natural gas
came into general use as a fuel no such
morning cloud has hung over Pittsburg.
Sergeant Stewart, of the Signal Servirt
Bureau, was asked to explain the cause of
the remarkable darkness, and in reply said:
"It may be of interest to know that this
was the darkest day from atmospheric
causes that the city has experienced since
the general introduction of natural gas.
December G last was almost as bad, but not
quite. The causes were both local and gen
eral, "although the darkness was only local
to this region. There was a light rainfall
during October, which always has less rain
than any month in the year, and in the
AVest and Northwest it was not only dry,
but warm. This caused a humid condition
of the atmosphere locally, and together
with a high barometer, and an
abserice of wind caused the smoke
to concentrate around a nucleus
formed by the humid air. This vaporous
mass was kept high above the earth by a
high barometer, but on AA'ednesday after
noon the barometer dropped low, aud what
little wind was going slackened still fur
ther, thus imprisoning the moisture and fog
between the cloud and the earth. The con
densation which followed produced the
darkness and the slight precipitation of
rain last night. The reason the darkness
continued so late in the day was that the
barometer was so low and the cloud was too
dense for the heat of the sun to penetrate it
until after the middle of the day. I look
for a rising barometer and clearing warmer
weather to-morrow."
"Word from McKeesport is to the effect
that yesterday was one of the darkest days
in the history of the place. In all parts of
the city the usual full number of lights used
nightly were turned on the entire day. The
sky seemingly was lowered to thehouse
tops, and altogether the day was so de
cidedly sombre that nervous people became
frightened. There was only one man John
Muse, of Versailles township who remem
bered such a day. He recalled as a remark
able coincidence that when John Brown was
execnted, December 2, 1859, the day was so
gloomy it more resembled night.

TROUBLE FOR CHILE.
A Plot Is Discovered to Overthrow
tHei Junta's Government.
THE CONSPIRATORS BETRAYED.
Eensational Spy Stories Intended Onlj for
English Ears.
ADMIRAL MONTT A PRESIDENT-ELECT
Valparaiso, Nov. 5.--As was an
nounced a few days ago. the Liberal party
in Chile won a sweeping victory in the re
cent elections, and this fact makes the
election of a. Liberal President a toregone
conclusion. The Constitution of Chile
provides that the electors chosen by the
people shall meet and elect a President of J
the Republic The Liberal electors met in
caucus yesterday and nominated for Presi
dent of Chile for the ensuing five years,
Admiral Jorge Moutt. The nomination is
equivalent to an election. The ceremonies
in connection with the inauguration of the
new President will be held in the capital,
Santiago, December 20.
It is stated that the selection of Admiral
Monttisnot only approved by the entire
Liberal party, but that the leading mem
bers of the other parties acquiesce in it,
believing that it will tend to consolidate
the best interests of the country.
Chile Will Be More Reasonable.
It is further believed that within the con
stitution of a constitutional Government the
questions now at issue between Chile and
"United States will be more calmly discussed,
and that the outcome will be satisfactory to
both nations.
Admiral Montt was a most pronounced
opponent of the late President Balmaceda,
and upon the breaking out of the revolution
he took command of the Congressional fleet.
It was owing in a great measure to hi
action that many other 'naval officers de
serted Balmaceda and joined the Revolu
tionists. Admiral Montt is extremely popu
lar with all classes, and his selection is
hailed with much satisfaction on all sides.
There is much excitement here and in
Santiago over the discovery last night of a
conspiracy against the new Government.
Santiago is the center of the conspiracy, and
it is stated that the plotters have accom
plices and branch headquarters in Buenos
It is' alleged that $2,000,000 have been sub
scribed to carry out the plans of the conspir
ators. Senor Juan McKenna, one of the
political refugees in the United States Le
gution, fe accused of being the chief party
in the movement.
Aiming at Colonel Canto's T.ire.
The main object of the conspiracy is said
to have been the assassination ot Colonel
Canto, the commander of the Congressional
land forces.. It is said that lots were cast to
decide who should kill him, and that it fell
to Lieutenant Colonel Gandarillas, ot Bal
maceda's army. Spies in the pay of the Bal
macedists are said to have watched Colonel
Canto in the streets where he was in the
habit of walking.
The exposure of the plot is said to have
happened in the following way: Oneof
the conspirators repented of his complicity
in it, and informed Barros Arana, the well
known Chilean historian. Senor Arana
made known the fac's so far as he had
learned to the Government. As a result
Lieutenant Colonel Gandarillas was placed
under arrest and taken'to prison. His in
carceration was followed by great activity
on the part of the authorities to get at evi
dence which would reveal all the other per
sons engaged in the plot, and the police are
now devoting all their energies to the task.
Great indignation prevails both at San
tiago and in this citv. It is said that prom
inent people are implicated, and that the
conspirators, to the number of 45; met at a
house in the Calle Vergara owned by Senor
Garcia Cullero.
Nightly Meettnc of the Conspirators.
These meetings were held nightly, and
the conspiracy had progressed so far that
committees had been formed to carry out
the different parts of it. It had been ar
ranged to have a general rising against the
Junta.
It is reported that ex-General Velasquez
was also one of the prime figures in the
plot. Preparations had been made for a
coniunction with Balinaceda's friends at
Buenos Ayres. Minister Guarrero has
received threats from them. Coupling
this demonstration wieh the feeling dis
played at Serena during the late elections,
it proves that the dead Dictator's friends
are still active and mean mischief to their
conquerors. The Junta has been asked,
through tne press, to prosecute 10 ineui
most these disturbers of the peace in Chile.
It is very probable that it will move as
rapidly and energetically in the matter as
justice will permit.
Minister Egan says there is not the slight
est truth in the report that Senor McKenna
was engaged in the conspiracy, or that any
other of the political refugees at the "United
States Legation were concerned in it.
Chilean ties Intended for Enjjland.
The sensational stories which have b'een
cabled to England and thence back-to the
United States, reflecting upon the conduct
of the United States Minister and naval offi
cers, are probably intended more for con
sumption in Great Britain than in Chile.
Investigation of the latest alarmist account
sent to a certain English newspaper fails to
reveal any corroboration of it.
In regard to the allegations that our naval
officers acted as spies in the interest of Bal
maceda, the correspondent is informed, on
what appears to be good and impartial au
thority, that the charge is without founda
tion. "It is nothing less,"aid a promi
nent American resident here, "than a vilifi
sation throughout of honorable men like
Admirals McCann and Brown and Captains
Sampson and Schley. All of these officers
I know personally, and I am certain they
would not act as they are said to have done. "
He further said that the American resi
dents here were secretly in sympathy with
the Junta during the war, and that even
amoug American officers, if there was any
private leaning toward either side, it was
toward the Congressionalists.
A FIREMAN'S STORY.
HOW A PASSENGER TRAIN WAS HELD
UP NEAR OMAHA.
His Experience on the Locomotive With
the Bandits Compelled to Assist in
Breaking In the Express Car Promis
cuous Shooting The Messenger States
the Loss.
Kansas City, Nov. 5. The train which
was robbed at AVest Side, near Omaha, last
night, arrived here this morning. The train
looked as if it had gone through war.. The
front door of the express car was broken
into splinters. The front door of the
smoking car had the glass broken out by.
bullets and the other cars were more or less
perforated with bullet holes.
The Pacific express car was the only one
tluit.was robbed. Immediately after the
train arrived here the express matter that
the robbers did not take was sent to the
company's office. Sam Green, the mes
senger, went to the Superintendent's office
and was closeted with the Superintendent
for some time. Before he saw his superior
he would say nothing about the robbery.
Afterward he said the robbers only got
$285 83. Superintendent Johnson also says
the robbers got but ?285 83. It seems to be
the general belief, however, that 6,000 will
more clearly cover the company's loss. The
best story of robbery is told by Fireman
.Blanchard:
"AVe had got pretty near to the Fremont,
Elkhorn and Missouri Valley crossing, 12
1, -
Biileathfa aid of Omaha, when'I w two
masked fellow, with gun, ia their hand
come crawling oa the tender.
" "Hold up jam hands,' thty relied with
oaths, and hands went up; but CaTaaagh did
not hold up hand at .all He Just kept
them on lever and stopcock and looked
around over his shoulder.
" 'Slow her up,' they said, and Cavanangh
slowed her up. ,
I "Stop her at crossing, ' was the next
thing we heard,, and we did as they said.
AVe were looking down the barrels.
" 'Now, get off,' they ordered. AVe got
off. Then there was an explosion on the
front endf the express car. Then two
more fellows came ud. They all began to
shoot promiscuously and did not seem to
care who they hit. They gave me an ax
and told me to wreck the door of
the express car. I called to Sam and
told him what they wanted. Sam
was lying over in the corner of the car
hid down among some stuff behind a coffin.
The explosion had blown out his lights.
But he lit a lamp and came to the door.
Then they made Sam shell ont his keys.
Then they went for everything."
Several of the bullets fired by the robbers
entered the sleepers and day coaches at the
rear of the train, and several passengers
narrowly escaped being hit.
PROBABLY A MURDER.
BUT
TDK CORONER'S JURY GAVE A
VERDICT OF ACCIDENT.
A Beautiful Girl's Mangled Brmains Fonnd
on a Railroad Track, but the Circum
stances Point to Murder The Testimony
of a Chicago Switchman.
Chicago, Nov. 5. A mysterious tragedy
elicited a provokingly unsatisfactory verdict
from the Coroner's Jury to-day. THe victim
was a well-dressed, but unidentified girl of
18 or 20, who must have been singularly
beautiful in life. Her mangled body was
found in a lonesome roadyard, a dismal maze
of tracks and standing freight cars. The
theory has been advanced that the young
woman was murdered and her dead body
thrown on the track in order to make it ap
pear that she met her death accidentally.
The circunstance that no blood was found
on the rails oron the roadbea lavors the
suggestion of foul play. AVhile the front
of the woman's clothes was spattered with
gore, not a drop had flowed on the ground.
Police Captain Kipley said. "To my
mind the most remarkable circumstance of
the case is that no one has come forward to
identify the young woman or report that
such a girl is missing."
The unfortunate was a blonde with per
fect features and curly hair that tell nearly
to her shoulders. She wore considerable
jewelry and several bangles, which bore
the inscriptions, "Eftie," "Elly," "AVill,"
Erankie. Jr.," etc.
At the inquest a switchman gave evidence
confirming the murder theory. He found
the body and he said that when he discov
ered it the corpse was cold and the blood
cooled as if death had occurred some hours
before.
He passed the place on the track where
the body lay at about 12 o'clock, and , the
corpse wa3 not there then. Between'that
hour and 1 o'clock two switch engines ran
over the same track, but no passenger train.
He testified that the shawl upon the body
was untorn, although it covered the right
arm, which was crushed.
Notwithstanding tnis testimony the jury
rendered a verdict of accidental death
caused by being run over by an engine.
The conclusion was based upon the fact that
the heavy underclothing might have ab
sorbed all the bloodj that the body had
undeniably been horribly mangled by rail
road wheels and that no knife or bullet
marks could be discovered. It is admitted
there is a possibility that the supposed
murderer craftily placed the corpse on the
track in a position to .ensure the oblitera
tion of the real death wounds.
The remains were identified to-night as
those of Fannfe Cartwright, an actress who
lived with her mother in this city. In
order to reach the letter's house by the
shortest cut, is is thought by the police,
she might have attempted crossing the rail
road vard and been run down in the dark.
The dead girl bore an excellent reputation.
She was a member of the "East Mail" Com
pany and left them at Memphis three weeks
ago to visit her mother. It was her inten
tion to rejoin the company at New Orleans
to-morrow.

FOREIGN BILLS OF LADING.
The Form Which I Insisted Upon by the
Trans-Atlantic Lines.
Chicago, Nov. 5. At a meeting last
week of .the permanent Committee on the
Uniform Bill, representing the railroads be
tween the Mississippi .river and the At
lantic seaboard, resolutions were passed
recommending the adoption of the export
bill of lading, recently formulated 'by the
ocean steamship lines, to take effect Decem
ber 1. The members of the permanent com
mittee were unanimous in this action. As
the proposed form does not change the con
ditions of the uniform domestic bill of
lading, except in so far as may be required
to adapt them to export business, ocean
ltneshave given notice that they will not
accept property shipped after December 1
on any other conditions than those shown
in the form. Chairmen Goddard and
Blanchard have issued a circular approving
the export bill of lading on Dehalf of the
joint committee of the Trunk Line and
Central Traffic associations. The condi
tions on which the ocean lines insist are
these:
In case of property carried by any vessel
destined to a British port, or to any other
ort, by a British vessel, this contract shall
e governed, so far as regards tho responsi
bility of the the trans-oceanic vessel and
her owners, by tho law of England. In the
case of property carried by any vessel other
than Jiritisn,, destined to other than British
port, this contract shall be governed, so far
us rczards tho responsibility of the trans
oceanic vessel and her owners, by the law
of the country of the port of tho vessel's
destination in respect-to this shipment.

Boston, Nov. 5. Colonel Jonas H.
Erench, in default of $75,000 bail, has been
committed to jail. Since his arrest Monday
night he has been in the custody of the

influential financial, political and social
friends found his closest associates far out
of his reach. But two men presented them
selves to sisrn the bond 'of $75,000 required
to secure his liberty, and neither was near
ly qualified to assume tho responsibility,
ljuririg the day John Stetson was applied
to by a friend of Mr. Erench, and he said he
would furnish bail providing $75,000 in
good securities were placed in his hands as
an indemnity in case Erench forfeited his
bonds.

Where Wa3 the Ghastly Sight
ATVFUL DISCOVERT HADE BY A LAWYER
rSPZClAI, TELIGRAM TO TITE DISPATOt.l
Buppaio, Nov. C. The discovery of a
mummified and worm-eaten body in tho
house 924 "Washington street, this morning,
revealed one of the weirdest phantasies of
diseased mind that ever came to light in
Erie county. There was a corpse, no longer
.bearing any resemblance of the living, after
three months of putrefaction, carefully
treated and tended as one in life by an in
sane woman who dwelt all alone with it
and kept her horrible secret to herself for
three months, until suspicion started an in
vestigation this morning.
No. 924 AVashington street is a'small 1
story brick structure. Here for four veari
lived Mrs. Barbara Luber, far advanced in
years, and her daughter, Mrs. Magdalena
Mochel, a woman about 48 years old. On
September 27 John Luber, of Michigan, a
brother of Mrs. Mochel, came to this.city
to visit his mother. He stayed for "four
days at the house, on AVashington street,
and went away puzzled bv the strange
things he had seen. Naturally, one of the
first questions he asked was about his
mother, and his sister answered sharply
that it was none of his business where sho
was. He was accustomed to his sister'
queer conduct, and so took her answer
quietly, but when he asaiu asked her of his
mother's whereabouts he received the same
reply.
Cnrlosity Aroused by a Sister's Secrecy.
This -made him furious. His sister's
secrecy and unusually strange demeanor
aroused him. He had noticed her fre
quently visit a bed chamber, the door of
which was always closed, and one day ha
stepped over to the door and thrust it open.
Just then he felt a firm grip on his arm.
His sister's hand grasped tho door knob,
and the door was closed quickly, while his
sister drew him away from it. He had
seen, however, that the bed was undis
turbed, and apparently there was no one
there, but he had not looked behind the
door. There was the ghastly secret.
On October 1 Mr. Luber returned to his
home in Michigan, his sister still refusing
to tell him where his mother was, but ha
worried over her disappearance, and could
not rest until he learned the truth. Yester
day he came back to Buffalo and went to
Day & Komer, the attorneys, and asked
them if an investigation could not be made.
Mr. Bomer, who is Mrs. Mochel's attorney,
went to the house and asked her where her
mother was. She told him confidentially as.
her friend she would tell him a secret which
she had carefully guarded from all the
world because everyone was her enemy.
Then she led him to her bed chamber, threw
open the door and bade him go in.
Horrible Discovery by a tawyer.
A stifling, nauseating stench came from
the room. Behind the door on the floor
was a great -pile of blankets and pillows,
and at one end there was a newspaper.
Mr. Eomer drew away the paper and from
the pile of blankets appeared the head of a'
corpse, wasted into a skeleton covered only
by a band of dried skin, and there in that
room the insane daughter told her storv.
"On the 29th of August," she eai'd, "I
found mother had dropped to the floor in
the middle of the room. She lay so still
and did not speak, aud I could jot get her
to stand up. But I knew she was not dead
and would come to life again soon, so I car
ried her in here and made a nice bed on the
floor. Now I am waiting for her to come
to life. She will come back; I know she
will if she is dead."
It seems the daughter had treated the in
animate body like an invalid. She brought
fresh food three times a dav and placed it
by th? side of the body, and then carried
away the dishes as if the invalid had taken
nourishment. She never went out except
to get food, and never allowed her friends
or relatives in the city to visit her. She
lived entirely in solitude, and would sit for
hours by the side of the corpse, talking to
it as she did to her mother while alive.
Mrs. Mochel is said to be worth 575,000.
She will be taken to an insane asylum to
morrow. A OENEBAL TTBNS THIEF.
