Omr Mwbe Katt Remain la tin Met Pcnt* tPntlRry. IT seems quite improbable that Oscar W. Neebe, who was convicted in 1886 of participation in the Haymarket riot with the other anarchists, and is now doing a fifteen-year sentence in the .Toliet peni­ tentiary, will eat his Thanksgiving tur­ key at home. A few weeks afro the . petition for his release was augmented by the visitation of a large committee of ; citizens of Chicago- before Gov. Fifer. : They made a pathetTc appeal for Neebe's -»release, and Gov. Fifer. so the story was told at the time, was moved to tears. Ho asked innumerable questions, leading his , petitioners on step by step to the hope that their prayer would be granted, and ' it was asked that the day of Thanks­ giving be selected as the time for Neebe's release. But the Governor , has decided not to grant the pardon, ad- ; hering to his determination formed in January, 1889, when he went through the case. The case may be said to have . been practically disposed of, and the ; papers have been bundled off to the Sec­ retary of State's office, and there stored away. Just what consideration the Gov- - ernor has given the case since it was last called to his attention is not generally known. It is believed, however, that the status of the eases of Schwab and Fielden in the courts has much to do ; with his determination in the matter of Neebe's pardon. AN ENGLISHMAN'S VIEW OF IT. Sir Lyon PJayfalr Dlicnm Oar New Tariff Law. Is his speech to his London constitu- " «*ts on the new United States tariff leg­ islation the Rt. Hon. Sir Lyon Playfair, . after giving the tariff history of the - United States, said the promoters of the McKinley bill sought to prove that the measure was needed in order to equalize the difference between the higher wages of the United States and the lower wages of Europe, but their argument would not bear examina­ tion. There was no intimate connection, * he said, between the tariff and wages. 1 As a whole, waares in America had al­ ready been reduced under a high tariff, and there seemed to be no tendency to raise them. Wages were highest in the * unprotected industries and lowest in the protected ones. Sir Lyon called : a host of statistics to show that the con­ sumer always paid the extra duties. He entered on a lengthy discussion of the effects of the tariff, contending that they would be disastrous to American : agriculture. The farmers would find that while their foreign markets were dwindling every necessity was increas- 4 ing in price, merely to enrich a few man­ ufacturers. He thought the framcrs of the bill might be suspected of a covert attack on Canada. He declared that Canada would be able to supply Great Britain with all the food H now gets from the United States. iifc "•t - K DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW. ieglUna'e Trade UnaflVc'ed by the Collame In stock* * R. G. Dus A Go.'a weekly review of trade says: Those who have long expected severe re­ action on the stock market have now seen the average of prices thrown back to a lower point than has been touched at any other time for more than four years. It remains the fact that the legitimate business throughout the country is the largest ever known, not much inflated or endangered by speculation, and so far complaints in regard to collections have been much fewer than usual. The check now sustained may not improbably produce some shrinkage in transactions and diminution of profits, but the industrial and commercial condi­ tions have been so favorable that speculative disturbances are the less likely to affect general business seriously. Reports from other cities show that at most points the events in Wall street have little or no effect as yet. At Chicago money is active at 7 per cent., but country banks are sending in funds for investment, Eastern disturbances are little felt; grain and cured meats equal last year's; a slight loss Is seen In dressed beef, butter, and cheese, and a* heavy loss in hides, but a liberal gain in wool and lard, while trade in dry goods, clothing, and shoes is much larger, with sat­ isfactory collections. No other Western point shows disturbance in trade, though money Is generally close. & • arehists. It was the largest ever held in New York, Ten sergeants and 100 po­ licemen were on hand.

WHIJJS the McKinley tariff bill was pending In Congress and immediately after It became 4 many manufactur­ ers of Pittsbuifr, Pa., announced their intention of going into the manufacture of tin-plate. It was stated that at least 8:25,000,000 would he invested In the new industry in that city and viclrifty. In­ terviews wtth the firhls who had made these statements reveal the fact that they havp about all chahged their minds. Only two firms, the United States Iron and Steel Company and P. H. Laufman :& Co. will go into' the manufaeturo jof tin-platb and that on a small scale. Pittsburgh manufacturers say there will be nothing certain about the tariff now until after the election of 1892, and j that they cannot afford to invest mill- j Ions on a chance. They charge that the j remarkable advance in the cost of tinned plates last month was duo to a combination between import­ ers, who were interested }n dis­ gusting the public with the new tariff. A member of Carnegie Bros. & Co., speaking of the matter, said: "There is no doubt that prospects for the new building of tinned-plate mills at Pitts­ burg and other points had good founda­ tion. The result of last Tuesday's elec­ tion, a big Democratic Congress and a Senate very possibly Democratic on the subject of the tariff would, of course, throw cold water on such prospects." cast for Lawrence, the Union-Labor can­ didate, were counted for Smith.

He says the crime was committed by his son, Bee Eubanks, about midnight Sun­ day night, He says Bee had been quar­ reling with his sister, and that at the time mentioned he seized a club and be­ gan beating her with it. He claims that he attempted to prevent his son from murdering his sister, but being old and feeble he was unable to do so. Eubanks, the father, is over 70 years of age. Bee Eubanks is a man of S5, of bad reputa­ tion and dangerous when drunk. " ; - An Inventor Dip* a Lunatic. {VW.

J) WESTERN HAPPENINGS. THE Rev. H. J. King, formerly of Hillsdale, Mich., but of late a resident of Oberlin, Ohio, has committed suicide. Mr. King was for many years Secretary and Business Manager of Hillsdale Col­ lege. He was the father of Henry C. King, professor of mathematics in Ober­ lin College. Mr. King was 67 years of age, and has been of infirm miud for the last two or three years. FIVE sallow-complexionod youths, the oldest 15 years of ago, were marshaled before Judge Hale Rix, at San Fran­ cisco, on a qneer charge--visiting and smoking opium in a "joint" kept by the oldest of the tear-stained batch of pris­ oners. THE head camp of the Modern Wood­ men in session at Springfield, III., fixed the salaries of its officers as fellows: Head Consul and Head Clerk, §1,500 a year each; Banker, £(>00; Directors, S5 a day and expenses. The salary of the Head Physician remains unchanged. The election of officers was not com­ pleted, but tho following have been chosen: Head Consul, W. A. Northcott of Greenville, 111.; Worthy Adviser, C. F. Hedges of Lansing, Mich.; Head Escort, W. H. Dawson of Clayton, Minn.; Head watchman, L. H. Haas of Hampshire, 111.; Head Sentry. L. E. Mcutch of Carey, III: Head Banker. D. C. Zink of Grand Island, Neb.; Head Physician, Dr. Frank Swallow of Valley Falls, Kan. Directors, A. R. Talbott of Lincoln, Neb.; J. G. Johnson of Peabody, Kan.; M. W. Mathews of Urbana, 111.; J. W. White of Tampico, 111., and C. F. Hey- decker of Waukegan, III. The next head camp will be held at Omaha two years hence. SEVEKTY-RKVKX years ago Nov. 13 Allen G. Thurman, "The Old Roman" of the Buckeye Democracy, first saw the light, and the Democrats of the nation joined with the Democrats of Ohio in celebrating at the Columbus home of their old leader the anniversary of tho event which gave to the party and to the nation the man whose distinguished services have made his name a watch- ward in the camps of Jeffersonian Democ­ racy. All day Allen G. Thurman was the recipient of affection such as few American statesmen have enjoyed after their acknowledged retirement from the arena of politics. This veneration and this affection he received in the cordial, old-fashioned way which Was always his leading characteristic, and to every caller, high or low, leader or yeoman, ho extended with kindly smiles the genial hand of good fellowship. One of the first to arrive was ex-President Cleve­ land. Mr. Cleveland was accompanied by the Hon. Daniel Lamout, of New York, his former private secretary. Mr. Cleveland was accorded an enthusiastic welcome by the citizens who had gath­ ered at the depot to witness his arrival, and throughout the day he shared with Judge Thurman the felicitations of the Democratic leaders who called to pay their respects. MRS. WELDOX, of Brooklyn, the woman lately made famous through reports of her love matph with Sitting Bull, has arrived at Pierre, S. D. Mrs. Weldon said that Sitting Bull is now leading the messiah craze with such effect that the Indians have one and all disavowed ail friendship with the whites and are hourly expecting the arrival of their new messiah, when they will at once come into possession of the earth. Emissaries from this new Christ have appeared among the various tribes during the past week, who announced that the time was now very close for the grand event. Their superstition has taken hold of them with a strange and ardent fervor. They now refuse to let white men ap­ proach the places where they are hold­ ing their religious ceremonies. General Ruger, of Iho Department of Dakota, on the contrary, says the craze is dying out. FOREIGN GOSSIP. THB schooner Eastern Queen, of Gloucester, was seised at Souris, P. £1 I., on the charge of violating the cus­ toms act. The offense is alleged to hayfi been committed last year, when the .ves­ sel was under a different captain and owned by another man. THE suicide of a schoolboy, a member of a family of good social position, has caused a sensation in Vienna. The boy found great difficulty l» mastering the third declension in the Latin grammar, and the fact so worked on his mind that he took his own life. ASSAD FARRAN, who was with Stan­ ley's African expedition, publishes a sensational story of the cruelty of the the officers. After dealing with the re­ ports of Stanley's death and the getting of Tippoo's men comes the Jameson affair at RibaKiba. Jameson expressed to Tippoo's interpreter curiosity to wit­ ness cannibalism. Tippoo consulted with the chiefs and told Jameson that he had better purchase a slave. Jameson asked the price and paid six handkerchiefs. A man returned a few minutes after with a 10-year-old girl. Tippoo and the chiefs ordered the girl to be taken to the native huts. Jameson -himself Selim, Masoudie, and Farhani (Jame­ son's servant, presented to him by Tip­ poo), and many others followed. The m'en who had brought the girl said to the cannibals: "This is a present from a white man who desires to see her eaten." The girl was tied to a tree, the natives sharpening their knives the while. One of them then stabbed her twice. She did not scream, but knew what would hap­ pen, looking to the right and left for help. When stabbed she fell dead. The natives cut pieces from her body. Some took the legs, arms, breasts, and other portions, while others took the entrails to tho river and washed them, Jameson in the meantime making rough sketches of the horrible scene. Then ihey all returned to the chief's house. Jameson afterward went to .his tent, where he finished his sketches in water colors. There were six of them, all neatly done. The first sketch was of the girl as she was led to the tree. The second showed her stabbed, with tho blood gushing from the wounds. The third showed her dissected. The fourth showed a man carrying a leg in one hand and a knife in the other. The fifth showed a man with a native ax and tho head and breast of the victim. Tho sixth showed a man with the entrails. Jameson showed these and many other sketches to all the chiefs. FRESH AND NEW8Y. THE loss of six men from the whaler Charles W. Morgan, which has just ar­ rived at San Francisco from the Okhotsk Sea, has just been made public. The men left the vessel in a small boat Sept. 1 in pursuit of a whale. The whale was harpooned and started off at a rapid rate, towing after him the boat, which contained Second Mate H. A. Martin and five seamen. A fog set in and noth­ ing was ever seen of the boat again. It is believed the whale smashed the boat, killing tho occupants. THERE is a rumor that Garden City, L. I., the building and maintaining of which was for many years one of A. T. Stewart's hobbies, is going to be pur­ chased by an English syndicate, to be improved, "boomed," and run something on the style of Pullman, 111. It is said that many large manufactories engaged in the production of woolen goods, cheap grades of cottons, and other fabrics for the American trade have been compelled to shut down completely since tho new tariff law went into effect. The manu­ facturers are now casting their eyes to­ ward America, and some of their agents are already here. THE following is the Thanksgiving proclamation by the President of the United States: A prooiama ion--By the grace and favor of Almighty God the people of this.nation | have been led to tho closing days of the j pa-sing year, which has beeu full of the I blessings of peace and the comforts of plen- i ty. Bountiful compensation has come to us | for the work of our minds and of our handa j in every department of human indiutry. i Now, therefore. I, Benjamin Harrison, ; President of the United States of America, j do hereby appoint Thursday, the - 27th day I of the present month of November, to be [ observed as a day of prayer and thanksglv- > ing; and I do Invite the people upon that day to cease from their labors to ifleet In. I their accustomed houses of worship and* | to join in rendering gratitude and I praise to our benetfeent Creator for the rich blessings He has granted us as a nation, and invoking the continuance of Hts protection and grace for the futures. 1 commend ta my fellow-cltizcns the priv­ ilege of remembering the poor, the home­ less, and the sorrowful. Let us endeavol* to merit the promised recompense of charity and the gracious acceptance of our praise. In testimony whereof I have here­ unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

A HURRICANE at Ncwry, Ireland, stopped work in the Dromalane spinning mills, making 1,500 persons idle. At Kilkeel a pier in course of erection was destroyed. '••V . BASTBfeN OCCURRENCES. TAKE that inscription down; you can't keep it up here," exclaimed Police Capt. McCullough at the anarchistic demonstration at Cooper Union, New York. The Captain pointed with his club to a red banner under the speaker's desky on which in white letters was in­ scribed, "If you assault us with gatling guns we will use dynamite on you." A number of anarchists protested against the order and made some hisses, but the Captain remained firm and the banner SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. Two night trains on the Georgia Rail­ road, one leaving Atlanta for Augusta, at 11:30 and the other leaving»Augusta for Atlanta at the same hour, were robbed by masked men. The Southern Express Company takes no way packages, it be­ ing a through run, and the messengers sleep on couches in the express car. The train leaving Augusta was robbed of about $40. Messenger Ficklen is a heavy loser, as a telegram from Atlanta says his packages amounted to $12,000. Both robberies were evidently the work of the same men, who probably knew the run of the road. The trains were not stopped, the robbers mounting them at a station quietly and doing their work, and getting oif at the next. Messenger Smith, on the up train, loses about $100. TIIE Superintendent of the Silver Val­ ley Mine in David County, North Caro­ lina, reports the discovery of the richest deposits of silver ore found in the South. A large vein of carbonate of lead has been discovered carrying 70 to 100 ounces of silver and 30 per cent, or lead .to tho ton of ore. ' POLITICAL. PORRIDGE. A SPECIAL canvass of the New Hamp­ shire State returns shows that Hiram A. Tuttle, R., receives 42,472; Charles H. Amsden, D, 42,372: Prohibition. 1,305; giving Tuttle a plurality of 100. No returns from Wentworth were received, but this will not change the result ten votes either way.

Parsons' ETouae. / [Chicago dispatch.] "Weep not for us when gone, but on with the fight!" These last words of one of the executed anarchists are typical of the sentiments expressed by the speakers at the anniversary exercises held at Waldheim Cemetery over the graves of the "martyrs." The demonstration, while orderly, proved that the feeling of discontent is by no means dead. At each reference tb the "innocent boys lying yonder," or to "our brothers done to death," the 1,600 listeners expressed their feelings audibly. In addition to an express wagon load of floral pieces, many of the women carried wreathes, lyres, and other designs. No crosses, however, were to be seen. A handsome wreath of immortelles was the tribute of the socialists of Vienna, Aus-. tria. After circling Market Square twice to get in good marching order the procesf slon moved across Lake street, the bands playing the Marseiljafse and other favor­ ite airs of the would-be social reformers. Men wearing crimson "committee*' Badges sold round-trip tickcts printed on crim­ son cardboard for r>0 cents. At the cemetery a table, a bench, and two chairs had been surrounded, by a rope alongside the graves of the "apos­ tles of freedom." The graves were coh­ ered with flowers and the table taken' possession of by George Schmedinger, who opened the ceremonies by referring to the occasion as "the third anniversary of the murder of our brothers by capi­ talists." He then introduced L. S. Oliver, a long-drawn-out individual, w'ho aroused great enthusiasm by heaping abuse upon the Government, the law, its officers, and other signs of civilization now ex­ isting in the United States. "We have no regrets to offer for the buried,*" he continued. "From their ashes in those graves comes the rebuke to the perpetrators of this^hellish crime. It is sounding louder and louder from one end of the land to the other, and across the briny deep. When it cul­ minates it will shake the earth from polo to pole. Remember that those boys stood there and sacrificed their lives fo* tho freedom of those left behind. They faced the hangman with a fortitude that knows no equal. They had no regrets. Their silence has more force than any words spoken here to-day. Our children will wonder at tho stupidity or villainy of the people who applauded the work of that horrible sacrifice. Though they build scaffolds at every cross-road we must go on, Courage, friends, onward! Onward! Tfhese religious ... and# legal superstitions that ruin our men and women must be swept away. Let us say with Emmett, 'If this be treason, by tho eternal gods make the most of it.' TJhose who drove our boys to death man­ ufactured the law. They were con­ victed before tried; indicted for murder and convicted of anarchy." After a brief intermission, during which the singing societies sang and Mauritz Schultz repeated a good deal of, Oliver's speech in German, H, E. Bar- tholmy, the orator of the day, was intro­ duced. Mr. Bartholmy was formerly a lawyer, but gave up practice for the bench. He is now a tailor. He made a deep im­ pression, his delivery being striking and his diction admirable. "Emerson onc£'!faid," he began, "it is not the fact so much as what you think of it. To thoroughly understand a fact, an event, or circumstance, it is neces­ sary to have a clear conception of the preliminary causes, coexisting conditions, and succeeding effects. A minute and accurate knowledge of every battle fought in the late rebellion would neces­ sarily be superficial, chaotic, and incom­ plete unless it were supplemented by a careful and candid review of the intel­ lectual struggle and political activity which was going on prior to its culmina­ tion in a fraternal war. There are no isolated events in the history of the world. The most obscure phenomenon beai s an intimate relation to the luminous epoch, and apparently insignificant de­ tail Is often an important factor in the consummation of a stupendous scheme. This principle of mutual dependence of one fact upon another permeates all nature, the inanimate world as the so­ cial organism, with its beauty and life- giving power, and is the foundation of all institutions, social and anti-social, which have thus far been tho scorn and pride of the world. "I prefaced my address with these pre­ liminary observations in order that you might better understand the position I occupy, or at least endeavor to occupy, in considering yhat I regard no ordi­ nary, insignificant event, but, on the other hand, the most stirring, significant and pregnant occurrence since the hang­ ing of John Brown--the hanging of the Chicago anarchists. "I believe that the execution of these aposties of a new and higher civilization was a historical necessity, and by this expression I do not mean that it was necessary to destroy them in order that society might live, to hang them in order that law and order might triumph and the stability of our institutions be pre­ served. I mean that truth comes into the world through pain and struggle; that the blood of the martyr is the seed of the church: that tho gallows is more eloquent in its silence than the orator with his UDS or the philosopher with his pen. "Who can fathom the psychological effect of that wonderful event? Who can measure the momentum it gave to the thinking world? Who can number the hearts that wero moved, the mhids that were affected, and the converts that were made? At no time in the history of the world did the execution of a man or number of men create such a profound impression. The thinking world shook from center to circumference Nov. 11, 1887. I do not believe that any of the men whose bodies lie molderingln peace­ ful calm yonder or those in Joliet to-day were guilty of any graver crime than that serious offenso in antagonizing pub­ lic opinion in the cause of freedom, and progress, and humanity. Did I believe that a fiendish appetite to destroy life and property without regard for law, either human or divine, had captured their souls, and that with wanton reckless­ ness they advocated the use of force to ameliorate social conditions, I would not say one word here to-day. But I uo not believe this charge is true. The ex­ plosion <Jf the bomb temporarily stupefied the public mind, and lioncefcrth no logic, however potent, could eliminate the false impression which the shock created. They cried, 'That settles it. Hang 'em, hjtng 'em. These Anarchists are bomb- throwers, and if you insist on trying to defend them we'll have you arrested as a suspect.' Reason was temporarily sus­ pended and fear and terror ruled. "The propagators of Christianity were equally as much despised and persecuted 2,000 years ago as are tho Anarchists to­ day. The term Protestant in its day was /Is odious and repulsive as the term anarchy Is to-day. The idea of abolition was received with the same criticism, censure and condemnation. "Now anarchism on its negative side is ft protest against the exercise of human authority over tike hfttnraT Mflmfntrti A FilMTTY SKTTT l?Trt¥ liberty of many. It exalts the individual ] ^ iliiXLiX OIV 1 V/J?l. above collective society, and holds that ji- ~--; - man as an individual is superior to the J ^ ̂OMES DANCING OUT Institutions he has created, that the right ' THE SNELL CLOSF.T of the individual is supreme, and denies j •* to Government the authority to interfere |'! n *•-" v J. , - with that right. It would abolish private property in land * " THE NEXT GONGRESSI Irhe Beault ef tile KeOeut jEieottoas Mkewn ataOlftMce. [From the Chicajro Tribune.] Thedatest returns Indicate that the Democrats, including the Farmers' Alli­ ance men, will have 23S members in tho next House, while the Republicans will have but 93. This will give the Demo­ crats a majority of 145, and even if some of the Alliance men should vote with tho Republicans the Democrats would still have nearjy, if not quitc% a two-thirds majority. The Democratic majority is 145. There are 121 votes from the South. Hence it appears that without a vote from the South tho Democrats would still have a majority of 24.

Strange Revelations Brought About by the 8rarch for Missing Heirs. A ROMANCE of unusually unfortunate and pathetic details was discovered when two detectives from Toronto discovered in Mr. and Mrs. Asa Barr, of Kansas City, Kan., the relationship of brother and sister and tho heirs to fortunes left by a relative of their deceased mother. Twenty-five years ago two waifs, mere babes, brother and sister, were aban­ doned by German immigrants at Castle Garden. They were legally adopted, one by Asa Barr, the other by a Mrs. Evans. Mrs. Evans moved soon afterward to Philadelphia where she brought up her adopted daughter, giving her all the comforts of a home and a good education. Twenty years later the boy, grown to manhood and having taken his adopted father's name, moved also to Philadelphia, Where h6 followed the trade of a painter. Chance drew the brother and sister to­ gether. Barr was captivated with tho girl and wooed, won and ma'rried her. Soon after they moved to Kansas City, Kan., where Barr continued in his trade as painter. Not long after Mrs. Evans died. Quickly following her death oc­ curred that of a relative in London, Canada, who died rich and intes­ tate. His fortune would have passed to Mrs. Evans as the nearest relative, bu£ her death having occurred, her adopted daughter became the beir. The attorneys sent detectives to trace the heiress, and in their investigation of the case discovered the true relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Barr to be that of brother and sister. They revealed to the unfor­ tunate couple the facts. The terrible knowledgo prostrated Mrs. Barr, and her husband is grief-stricken. Legal pro­ ceedings will at once be instituted to sever the marriage bond, and Mrs. Barr will go to London, Canada, to claim her fortune. - , , PRILLS OF FASHION.

[Chicago special.] It is nearly three years since the mur­ der of Millionaire Amos J. Snell was a topic that was discussed in every house­ hold, on the streets, in public places, from one end of the country to the other. Tho circumstances attending the assas­ sination were so startling and realistic that every man who heard the story C3uld not restrain a feeling of alarm and disquietude. A disorganized army of man-hunters, whose forces were scat- jtered through every village, town, and icity on the continent, spurred on by the offer of a large regard, worked dili­ gently to capture the murderer, who was supposed to be Willie Tascott, but without success. Ho eluded his re­ lentless pursuers at every turn, and is still at large. The only tangible* clew to his whereabout* that was ever obtained after he left Chicago was in St. Paul, where he, or somebody who resembled him, pawned his sachel, his revolver, and some other articles of lesser value. From that time Tascott dropped out of sight, and no more was heard of him until a few days ago, when the wife of the dead millionaire's only 3on wrote a communi­ cation to the Chicago Herald, in which she wished to be informed if the hunt for Tascott had been abandoned and the reward for his capture withdrawn. Fol­ lowing this as she did with a number of extraordinary statements, in which some strange family history and secrets were disclosed, the murder has assumed all its old-time proportions and a subject of gossip. Stories that have heretofore been circulated with caution are now being told openly. Old suspicions have been revived and now theories given life. Mrs. Albert J. Snell, the wife of the son of Ajnos J. Isnell, the murdered millionaire, has followed up her open letter with verbal statements casting doubt on the sincerity of A. J. Stone, Mr. Snell's son-in-law, in his search for the murderer. She asserts that the house was not broken Into the night of the murder, but that the panel of tho rear door, which was removed, was bored through from the inside, and that the safe was opened by some one who knew the combination. She says that Mr. Stone, subsequent to the murder, suf­ fered from a wound in the leg. The as­ sertion is coupled with the intimation that part of the blood found on the stairs came from one of the murderers, who was wounded by a bullet from Mr. Snell's revolver. Sho says that the house next door to the banker's was kept vacant for several months, reference at the same time being made to the possibility that Tascott, or whoever was tho murderer, never left the city at all. Mr. Stone said: "This Mrs. Snell is a family outcast." Thus he dismissed the subject. Inspector George Hubbard, who was Chief of Police at the time or the crime, says: "I do not believe that the murder was 'a family affair.' That there were two men mixed up in the crime I am convinced. I am certain Tascott was one of them. As to the other man I have no guess to make. It was ap. arent to the Police Department that the Snell family was divided. Personally I have heard nothing to make me believe the murder was committed by any one re­ lated by blood or marriage to the dead man." . John Bonfield, Chief of Detectives at the time, believes that Mrs. Snell's im­ plied charges are the fruit of a family row. "Tascott had a hand in the mur­ der," he declared. "I never lost sight of the fact that many suspected that Tas­ cott was only an agent. Those 'tips' I carefully Investigated, but always found them worthless. The panel of the door was certainly bored from without and not from within." "Sandy" Hanlcy, the police officer who discovered Tascott's connection with the case, says: "Tascott was ignorant of the fact that the safe door was unlocked. When he withdrew his bit after boring the door came open." Mrs. Snell, Sr., announces that the re­ ward is still open to any one who will secure the arrest of the murderer.

Winans, Governor- elect of Michigan, was born at Avon, New York, May 16, 1826, and removed with his parents to Michigan in 1834. He received his education in district schools and at Albion College. Ia^hc spring of 1850 he made the overland trip to Cali­ fornia, where he engaged in gold mining WINANS. until 1858, when he returned and settled on the farm where he now lives. He has served two terms in the State Legis­ lature, from 18G1 to 1865, and one term as Judge of Probate of Livingston Coun­ ty. He is a member of the Episcopal Church.

V "rltUh ensiser Serpeat Goes I»wm : <wr the Coast of Spain, and of 876 jpiso- ple on Board the 1U-Fated Ship Oatjr Three Escape-- Heartlets Conduct of the Head e£ the British Admiralty Oflee. rLoadon dispatch.] The British torpedo cruiser Serpent, has foundered off the coast of Spain. Out of a total of 276 souls on board only three were saved. The Serpent was a twin-screw vessel of 1,770 tons and 4,500 horse- power' and/ carried six guns. It went on the rock» during a storm Monday night. A heavy mist prevailed at the time of the disaster. Owing to the violence of the storm it was impossible to send assistance from the shore. Tremendous seas swept the decks of the doomed vessel, carrying away group after group of the unfortunate men ou board. The news of the wreck was con­ veyed to Corunna, a distance of sixty1 miles over mountain roads" The Ser-p pent's complement was 170 officers and] men. The others on board were going- out to reliove men now on ships of the- African station. The vessel was lost at- a point twenty miles north of Cape Fin- Isterre. y An official telegram from Corunna says that the Serpent was wrecked off Cape Itucy, near tho village of Camarlnas. There were 276 persons aboard, of whom only three were saved. Tho > bodies ojfV three ladies have been washed ashore. ' The Governor has ordered the authori­ ties at Camarinas to render every assist ance la their power. The three persons saved from the Serpent are sailors, who swam ashonf at Camarinas. They express the belief that all the others on board wer© drowned, but only four bodies have been washed ashore as yet. There is no tel­ egraph station at Camarinas. The Serpent was a third-class cruiser of the type of the Archer, of which th© Concord, Yorktown and Bennington ar© practically copies, It was provided with whitehead torpedoes, tubes, and ap­ paratus for firing. It ts said by expsrts concerning this class of vessels that in ^fche construction of the hull "economy of weight has been carried to excess. Th© plating is too thin for durability. Th© armament is overdone. In a seaway th© heavy top weight causes loss of speed and throws an undue strain upon th© light structure on which it is placed." Of one of these cruisers it is stated that its speed "when meet­ ing a strong head wind and * sea was reduced to live knots, as th© vessel was being buried under water for­ ward the forecastle, bending down thre© or four feet under the weight of water. "• The Serpent was built of steel, 1,770 tons displacement, 4,500 indicated horse­ power, 14 feet 6 inches draught of water. 225 feet length, 36 feet beam. It was- built at Devonport, launched in 1887,. cost (hull and machinery) £91,606. It» armament comprised six six-inch* flve- ton breech-loading rifle guns, ei^ht three- pounder rapid-firing guns, and thre© machine guns. It sailed from Devon- port, being put in commission Juno 24 last, under command of Capt. H. L. Ross,, ordered to the Cape and the west coast> of Africa. Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of the Admiralty, on rising to speak at ft Conservative banquet at Acton this evening, said ho was sorry to announce that just before he came there he re­ ceived a telegram that H. M. S. Serpent was lost on the coast of Spain, and h© feared there had been great loss of life. The Serpent, he said, was one of our best cruisers, and was a valuablo vessel, with excellent officers and crew. H© could not tell the cause of the disaster." The announcement caused a sensation' and it was evident that many of thos© present would have thought it proper to postpone the banquet, but, no action be­ ing taken to that end, the entertainment proceeded, and* after the guests had eaten and drank heartily, Lord George Hamilton led off in the toasts with an unusually jolly speech, his rollicking humor provoking peal upon peal of laughter. The news of this affair soon reached the London clubs and ex­ cited much adverse criticism. It is con­ sidered that Lord Hamilton's conduct may cause scandal against himself &nd the Tories such as was aroused against Mr. Gladstone and his political ad­ herents by the alleged presence of th© Liberal Premier at a theater on tho evening of the day when Gordon's death was announced in the Loudon newspa-< pera. The Duke of Edinburgh was attending^ a Patti concert at Plymouth when th© news of the disaster reached that town. He was immediately informed of the ca­ lamity, and at once left tho concert hall and hastened to the various newspaper, offices in search of further details. Af­ ter reading all the dispatches that had been received concerning the disaster h© went directly home without returning to. the concert hall. He expressed the ut­ most sorrow at the fate that had over­ taken so many brave men. Commander Ross is said to have been in tho habit of treating his men with un­ due severity. The Serpent started last Saturday on its maiden voyage. It was commissioned for service in Africa last June, but was detained by several mis­ haps to the machinery. It and its con­ sorts were cordially disliked by the ser­ vice. The Serpent has a bad record. It broke down more than once in the man­ euvers of 1868. Lloyd's agent at Corunna telegraphs: "It appears that the Serpent was running- for shelter into one of tho bays north of Finisterre, It is not known whether it founded pr grounded on the fearful reefs- tliat are a continuation of the Galician' Mountains. If it foundered nobody need be surprised but the Admiralty. If it. grounded on the reefs it could not stand a minute's battering in the heavy sea. Personal Brevities. Mns. HEXRT M.
