To a reporter today Or. Andrews said:
"I found that the whole of l-nmidon's

there is considerable Irritation, with
small red indentures, surrounded by

The colored servant, l'.i rtha Stewart,
says she heard her mistress scream nut
on Sunday afternoon ut about 4.:i0. She
went utistalrs and knocked at the bet!
loom door, which was opened by hang
don. She saw Annie Mcliratli lying on
the bed with the towel over lier' face.
Laugdon explained that she hud one uf
her bilious titlarks. Or. Andrews was
asked if a person under ether would
be likely to cry out or screum.
"till, yes," ho replied, "that Is a com
mon effect of the drug. Kther und
chloroform act different. Kther Is a
stimulant, and a person suffering from
Its effects might screuin. That is the
primary slate."
The doctor also said that persons un
der ether were subject to hallucinations.
and there was no accounting, for their
actions.
I'rofessor r,ef'miin Is still at work
aiialyl'lng the contents nf the stomach
of the il. ad girl.
In answer to the oiiestinns of a re
porter, he said: "Thus far I ,iave
found that the stomach shows no signs
of bilious troubles. The girl's death
might have been caused by morphine or
ether. There are no indications that
she swallowed laudanum. In the region
of the heart there were several blood
clots, but I cannot say ut present
whether these could cause death."
Deputy Coroner Dttgan scouted the
Idea of suicide on the girl's part.
"She hud $l'Hi In her pocket when
the body was found," be said. "She
wore good clothes ami hud diamonds.
In addition to this she was tun young
to want to end her life."
Shortly after noon I.angd.m sent for
his counsel. When the lawyer arrived
tin- lulsoner reiiuesti'd him to send for
a physician. I.angdon Is said to be
Uiille ill, but the nature of his illness Is
not known.
Coroner Ashbridge visited Langdnn in
his cell at the central slut ion this af
ternoon and held a long Interview with
him.
I-ANC.DOX'S HKI-ATIVKS SHY.
A header representative called today
upon Mrs. Samuel I, hunednii. wife of
the coal operator, nVw tinder urrest In
Philadelphia charged' with the murder
of Miss Annie Slitirath.
Mrs. Ijingdon was located nt the cot
tage home of her father. James Hart
rey. und her brother-in-law. .Mr. Fink.
! at Springdale, sixteen tulles from the
city. Mrs. Langdon positively refused
to make her appearance or to furnish
any statement whatever concerning
her husband's escapade In Philadelphia.
Mr. Fink stated that nu action would
be taken or statement mode until they
hncl rerelved letters front certain
friends nf the family now in Philadel
phia. Mr. Fink, suld his sister was al
most prostrated. Mr: Fink declined to
locate either son or daughter of Mrs.
I.Rng.lon. further than saying that the
son was In the oust and the daughter
was In Allegheny county.
MOTION HKVKALKD.
What heretofore has been lacking has
seemingly developed, and that Is the
motive for a ul'eat crime. If l.angdon
killed the woman his motive was one
of the strongest passions in the world
jealousy, A re'sirt that the girl was
about to be married to a young man
deemed to be well founded.
It Is suit) that on the Sunday after
noon she was Inst seen alive she told
l.nugdon that she Intended to leave
him. as she was about to be married.
If Iingdon loved the girl then a mo
tive for murder Is at once supplied by
this fait.
The police hnve a bundle of letters

house, but w hat their contents ur they

Constantinople, March 2.1. As a re
sult of the extraordinary cabinet coun

the Turkish government bus Issued un
appeal, addressed to France und Iius
sia, asking them to Intervene with the
object of regulating the affairs In

quested by the Porte to exercise her
good otllces in this matter. Instruc
tions were sent to the Turkish ambas
sador at Loudon to make representa
tions to the Marquis Of Sullsbury, but
their tenor Is not known.
In well-Informed circles It Is said that
this ut'tlon of the Porte Is due to the
counsels of France and Itussia. the
Koverttmetils of which countries are as
serted to have submitted that the pres
ent is an opportune moment for Turkey
to rulse the (iiiestion of Iter suzerainty
over Kgypt being practically usurped

promising Turkey their support in the

The Porte was much annoyed ut the
fact that Turkey was not consulted in
regard to the advisability of sending a
P.t itish-Kgyptinn expedition up Hie
Nile, und the feeling of Irritation was
Increased by the khedlve, who also ig
nored the Porto entirely. Kepi-ouches
liitve been addressed to the Ottoman
commissioners in Kgypt for not taking

the Suspected Shooters.
MIXKS C0XDITI0X H0TELESS
So Serloun Late l.aat Night That It Was
Itoeided to Attempt tho lia
nediate Capture of the
Suspected Men.
At 2 o'clock this morning County De
tective Leysliou and a sheriff's posse
went to Dunmore with warrants for
the nien suspected of ha lug shot
Frederick Mink la Monday afternoon's
riot.
Late last night, when It became ap
parent tliut Mink had not long to live,
D. C. Kirnm-ds, of Mulberry street, a
young man who wns one of the Kuili
ven party, and who witnessed the tir
ing, decided to have the suspects ar
rested and brought into Mink's pres
ence before he died to see If he could
recognize the men who shot him. In
company with W. M. Withers, who Is a
friend of the wounded man. he started
out to procure the warrants ami otlicers
to serve them.
Sheriff Clemens Was notified, and he
In turn called upon County Detective
Leyshon and Coroner Longstreet.
The coroner had made uSi examina
tion of Mink at ! o'clock, nnd when told
of the purpose of the immediate arrests,
gave It as his opinion that the wound
ed man was in no coiulltlou to recognise
anybody.
WAKIIANTS SWORN OPT.
It was derided, however, to proceed
with the arrests, and ut 1 o'clock this
morning the warrant was sworn nut by
Hichards heinre Alderman Millar, who
was found preparing to retire after
coming up on tho lute train from Puls
ion, w here he had been conducting an
Inspection.
Who the accused parties are Mr. Ley
shon would not divulge. Only one nume
wus mentioned in the warrant, hut us
it wus Intended to make a number of
arrests, an "et. ul." was inserted. The
county detective left the ofllce with
Withers and lti.iiar.ls and commenced
gathering Ids posse. Shortly before 2
o'clock they left in cubs for Punmore.
MINK SIXKIXt; RAPIDLY.
Coroner Longstreet does not think
the wounded man can live more than
two or three days. He has a powerful
physique, but after he wus brought to
the hospital his system weakened con
siderably. The bullet penetrated the
Duck below- the left shoulder blade und
ploughed Its way diagonally toward the
left side. It unpen red to be a "8-callber
missile, and It made an ugly wound.
He is :! years of age mid tills fact
weighs against him: a younger person
with strong vitality might weather
through. At a late hour last night
Mink was resting comfortably, but he
was very weak and wus growing weuk
er all the time.
