DRIVE! JQJUIQDL Ex-Sergeant at Arms Canaday of the Senate Pnts an End to His Life. HISSTOBYOFABUBGLARY Disbelieved by Bis Partner, "Who Calls in the Mice. THEY FIND HIM LYING DEAD. Fear of Humiliation Thought to Bare Caused the Deed. 1HE END OF A PROMINENT SOUTHEENEK "Washington, Sept. 27. The end of a decade of wild speculations ot a hazardous kind in the hope always delusive that each successive scheme would bring large wealth, came some time between 6:30 and 7:30 o'clock this morning in the suicide of Will iam P. Canaday. of North Carolina, former ly Sergeant at Arms of the United States Senate and known to politicians through out the country for years as one of the lead ing Republicans in the South. The suicide was as iull of sensational pre liminaries as any story alleged as the basis of fact fora dime noreL There was about it just enough of the element of uncertainty to suggest a theory, quickly dispelled on examination, of the commission of the deed by some other person than the dead man, or another theory that disbelief in his story of having been robbed had driven him to' kill himself. Prior to the suicide, there was a scene about daylight, with the dead man, hound by (light cord fastenings to a door, which fastenings he told the gentlemen, who had been alarmed by his outcries, had been bound on him 'by burglars, who, at the point of a knife, had forced him to open a safe and had then abstracted therefrom most of the contents. His Talo "Was Too rishy. Following this scene was another in which J. Q. A. Houghton, a captain on Hancock's staff during the war and a part ner of Colonel Canaday, told his partner that he did not believe the story and would . have it investigated by the police. Captain,' Houghton accused Canaday of an attempt to defraud him. Subsequently, to a reporter. Captain Houghton said that yesterday even ing he had put J2.000 in bills in the saffe, the combination to which was known only to himself and Colol Canaday. The third scene was that which was visi ble almost an hour later, when Captain Houghton jreturnedwjta. Policeman' Gil bert, wko broke open a window, the doors having been locked by Colonel Canaday in side, and found the former Sergeant at Arms of the Senate lyingin a bath of blood, dead from the effects of a pistol wound through the head, extending from ear to ear. The house in which the suicide occurred is one of three brick houses. The two houses had been thrown into one, and being downtown near the Government depart ments and other offices, the lower floor was 1 used for office rooms and the floors above were rented out for lodgings, and across the way is the First Congregational Church, known to almost all visitors to Washington. Ioaned Money at High Bates. Colonel Canaday had the entire first floor of b'oth houses and used it for office rooms. He also had a cot in one of the rooms on which he slept at night A sign in the win dow read: "Law office, W. P. Canaday." "Temporary office TJ. S. Patent Guaranty Co." was another sign, and in the windows heavy loan sign. Captain ir. Q. A. Houghton said that he was a partner of Colonel Canaday in the business conducted, but bis name does not appear on the signs visible from the out side. He seems to have been the man who furnished last year the money for enter prises ot which Colonel Canaday was pro moter. The business carried on, besides that of launching various enterprises, was that of a general pension and claim agency, the loan of money, probably at high rates of interest on securities of a character such as banks do not readily take as assets; and the issuance of patents. In this last, un der the title ot Patent Guaranty Company, Captain Houghton was known to the people of the house as associated with Colonel Canaday. Yesterday evening the two men were to gether for a short time about 1 o'clock, and went oat together. Before leaving.Captain Houghton says he deposited 2,000 in the cafe. The money he says was in notes of the denomination of 55, 510 and $20. The cafe was in the rear or second room from the front of the house. In this and the front room most of the general business was con ducted. Clumsily Bound and Gagged. After Colonel Canaday and his partner separated on the street the dead man spent about half hour with Miss Moore, a fairly good looking young woman of about 21 years of age. About 5:15 o'clock this morn ing Charles H. Stevenson, an employe in the Pish Commission, who roomed on tne second floor just above Colonel Canaday's rear office room, came down stairs, having been alarmed by outcries. He found Colonel Canaday bound to a closet door in the room in which the safe stood and across the hall way from his sleeping quarters. The safe was open. Strewed over the floor was a great litter of papers of one kind or another and in the fireplace was a charred mass of burnt pa pers. Colonel Canaday was bound to the door with his hands behind him. The twine with which he was bound was of very ordinary stufl such as is used to bind large parcels, so that a man of ordinary strength ought to have been able to break it with ease. In his mouth was a gag made out of a torn piece of his night shirt It had been loosened so that he was able to make an outcry. His story was that three burglars had forced an entrance through the rear window of the rear room, in which he was found bound, and, going into the room in which he was sleeping, had bound and gagged him at the point of a .knife held over his heart, and had then forced him to go across the hallway to the safe and open it They had abstracted a great part of the contents, had burned some papers and had departed alter binding him. Afraid or an Investigation. Captain Houghton was sent for, and to him ilr. Canaday related the story which his partner refused to believe. An exam ination of the papers showed that a consid erable number of negotiable notes made by Mr. Canaday had been burned,and that every book containing records of Indebtedness against him had been destroyed. Affirming his disbelief in the story, Captain Hough ton said he would go for the noli nj liave the story investigated. Officers Hodges and Gilbert accompanied him on his return to the house. The servant girl told them that she thought Colonel Canaday had shot himself. ,!Q window at the rear vu-f orced from the outside, and the dead mau was found lying on the cot He had dressed himself alter Captain Houghton's departure, and was lying on the cot, at if resting, but his clothes and the sheet and pillow were cov ered with blood. A 32-caliber revolver was by his side. The mau had pointed his re volver above his right ear and the bullet passing through the head came out at the ieft side. Death must have been instanta neous. The body was taken to Undertaker Pears' rooms. On a desk written in a large envelope was the following note to Miss Moore. Mr Dear Feissd 1 am not guilty of any wrong. You may trust In me. Tlie people who are perseoutlug me are worse than I am. He U a villain (sic) of the very largest. God bless you always, id the last prayer or your true friend, Cakadat. A note addressed to Captain Houghton said that after Houghton's conduct in the morning he (Canaday) had "no further use for life.5' Houghton's Story Excites Suspicion. The police are investigating the state ment of Captain Houghton that he put 52,000 in the afe yesterday evening. How Canaday could have made awav with it is, under the circumstances, a difficult ques tion to answer. Mr. Stevenson, who dis covered him bound to the door, says that Colonel Canaday told him that no money was gone, and that only papers had been taken. It, as Captain Houghton says, 2,000 had been placed in the safe, and is now missing, it seems remarkable that the dead man said nothing about it Captain Houghton asserts that he ad vanced Colonel Canaday from time to time about 15,000 and that" there was dsstroyed about 100,000 stock of the Houghton Ma chine Manufacturing 'Company, and also certificates of stock in the Northwest Im provement Company and other enterprises. Captain Houghton is described in the city directory as a machinist Miss Moore, whom Mr. Canaday visited yesterday evening and to whom he left a note, is a young lady of excellent family and good reputation, whom Colonel Cana day knew in North Carolina, and is living here with her sister, whose husband is as sistant curator of the National Museum. Colonel Canaday's visit was a brief social oue. His Career In Ofllce. Colonel W. P. Canady was formerly a Confederate soldier, later a stanoh Bepub lican and for several years past the Nortn Carolina member ot the Republican Na tional Committee. He was one of John Sherman's Southern lieutenants in 1880,1884 and 1888, and did much to keep the South ern officeholders and negro delegates in line for the Ohio Senator. In 1883 it was Canaay who advised John Sherman to publicly charge that Alger had purchased the Sherman delegates from the South. Colonel Canady was a populur and gener ous man, whose ruin seems to have been brought simply through his inordinate de sire to make a fortune. That he was per sonally brave and self-sacrificing was shown in his war record and during the years when he fought the battles of the Repub licans in North Carolina, when such a course meant permanent social and busi ness ostracism.' Colonel Canady, as Ser geant at Arms of the Senate, was an able and efficient officer. On the day ot Harrison's inauguration he was the most conspicuous man in the vast crowd assembled on the east front ot the Capitol as he stood in the cold, drenching ram holding an umbrella over Harrison's head during the 'delivery ot the inaugural address. Mr. Canady's tall form is promi nent in all the photographs of the scene which was afterward fitly called Harrison's baptism. WISCONSIN'S GERRYMANDER. Tho Supreme Conrt Practically Knocks It Out Protestors to tho Action BlayDe Lij the Tinal Adjudication Until After the Election Is Otcr. Milwaukee, Sept 27. The Supreme Court this morning uas crowded. Chief Justice Lyons announced the finding of the Court in the case ot the State ex rel Lamb versus Cunningham, wherein Lamb was given permission to bring suit to restrain the Secretary of State from preparing lor elections to the Senate and Assembly in this State on the ground that the law passed by the special session of the Legislature is unconstitutional. The court's decision was as follows: By the Court The Court holds that the order granting leave to the relator to bring this action on behalf of the Stale was made, hence the motion to vacate the same and dismiss the action must be denied. The Court fuither holds that the complaint states facts sufficient to entitle the State to the relief demanded therein; hence the motion on behalf or the State to strike out the demurrer to the complaint as frivolous must be granted. Suoh determination or these motions in effect overrules the de murrer to the complaint. An opinion will be prepared and filed at an early day. If the defendant desires leave to Interpose an answer to the complaint the Court will hear a motion for such leave on the next motion day. Justice Wiuslow (Dein.) dissents. Colonel Yilas intimated that he wished to see the Court's opinion before deciding what action to take in the premises. The Chief Justice announced that the opinion would be filed at as early a date as possible, but that he had given the general tenor thereof in the order made, and thought it sufficient to indicate the Court's opinion. Colonel Vilas afterwards seemed to accept this as conclusive, that unless he could challenge the facts set forth in Lamb's complaint, the gerrymander measure is knocked out Hence it is thought if an swer is made at all it will be simply for the purpose of delaying the final judgment until after the election.

FOR MOUNTAIN WATER. Another Meeting of Prominent Business Men and Officials on tho Indian Creek Scheme Considering the Formation of tho City and County of Pittsburg. Representatives of the Western Water Company, which proposes to supply all the cities and towns in Allegheny county with mountain water from Indian creek for domestio use, held another conference with officials and business men at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. There were present Messrs. B. F. Jones, James B. Scott, Chief Eigelow, Mayor Kennedy, Colonel Roberts, Colonel Andrews. Prof. Brash ear, O. P. and Lucien Scaife and George H. Browne. Secretary Forbes and Chief Engineer Jamison, for the company, presented de tailed profile maps of Indian creek and the surrounding country, showing how they propose to secure and store a water supply. By their original plan they figured on a supply of 75,000,000 gallons of water per day at a cost lor the plant of about $8,500, 000. But as it had become evident that a greater supply would need to be assured, they stated that by collecting the water of three streams which meet at confluence in addition to the Indian creek supply, it was stated 150,000,000 gallons a day would be assured. The cost would be more than doubled, running about $17,000,000. Speaking for Pittsburg, Chief Bigelow told the representatives of the Water Company he would be glad to give them a hearing at any time on their scheme as they progress with the work. The general impression was that the scheme was a good one, bnt that it had not yet been worked out suffi ciently to justify the serious consideration of the cities and surrounding towns. The sentiment prevailed that the proposed sys tem must insure a more than sufficient sup ply for all the boroughs and villages in the county, irom McKeesport and Wilmerding to Sewickley, that being the confines of the city and county of Pittsburg of the future. Frbm the expressions of those present they expect such a combination of interests into one big corporation before many years have passed. A MISSISSIPPI FIGHTING EDITOR.

ANOTHER SAMPLE TO BE SENT OUT The Eiz3 About Doubled by tho iddition of Itto New Parties. ONE POINT THAT 18 STILL IN DISPUTE SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCir.l Hakbisbueo, Sept 27. The ballot re quired under tbe operation of the Baker re form law will be considerably larger than the one which has been issued from the of fice of the Secretary of the Commonwealth for the, instruction of voters in Pennsylva nia. When it was printed the People's and Socialist Labor parties had not filed their nomination papers, and consequently they were not given any recognition on the bal lot indicated. Since then the People's party has filed in the Secretary's office papers signed by over 6,000 people qualified to vote, and the So cialist Labor party has filed papers with the names of over 2,200 voters attached. This formality entitles them to a place on tbe regular ballot under the head of "by nomi nation papers." Will Be of Enormous Size. The tickets will be- placed under that of the Prohibition ticket, and the result of this arrangement will be the elongation of the ballot to more than twice the size the sample ballot issued. In counties where 3 per cent or more of the highest vote cast for county candidates was cast by either the Prohibition people or Socialist Labor party it will be entitled to an ad ditional column on the ticket, which will result in increasing the width of the ballot prepared by the State Depaitment In a lew counties it is likely to be double its present width. Secretary Harrity to-day instructed the preparation and printing of another ballot containing these tickets, which will be sent to the County Commissioners and other county officials as early as possible. Another Point to Be Decided. The question as to whether the 12th or 13th of September was the limit of time in which to file certificates of nomination and the 19th or 20th the last day in which to file nomination papers will be submitted to the Attorney General by Mr. Harrity for his determination. In the opinion of the Sec retary of the Commonwealth these papers are legally receivable on the 13th and 20th, respectively, but parties interested were advised that the safer way was to have them filed at the earlier time. If the view oi Mr. Harrity should be sus tained the certificates of Josiah Hicks, can didate for Congress in the Blair district, will entitle his name to be placed under the Re publican head instead of among the inde pendent candidates. Several other candi dates are in a similar position. BABY FOUR WEEKS OLD. Distressing Skin Dlseaso From Birth. Cured in 5 Weeks. Slado Healthy and Beautiful hy Cuticura Remedies.
