IGHTEKIiiS THE COIL

Pearl Bryan's Murderer Will Soon Be Definitely Known.

"SVEJRAL MORE CONFESSIONS.

Scott Jackiiou and His Roommate, Alonzo YValliiip, Are Each Trying to Fasten Upon tlie Other the Actual Commission

of tlie Crime—lynchers May Settle the Fate of Both the Suspects. CINCINNATI, Feb. S.—The coils are

tightening about Scott Jackson, the debonnaire dental student, who has already confessed to at least a guilty knowledge of the murder of Pearl iJryan of Greencastle, Ind. He and his 3 oommate, Alonzo Walling, are both under arrest, and each is trying to lasfcen upon the other the actual commission of the crime.

Wailing has made another confession to Mayor Caldwell in which he said that Jackson gave the girl four grains of comine in sixteen drops of water and then drove her to Fort Thomas, where he cut off her head.

Shortly after making this statementj he made another one which conflicts with the previous one. Walling's latest confession is that Jackson killed the girl by giving her a hyperderniic injection of prussic acid. This acid is so powerfnl and deadly that death would ensue before the needle of the hyperderniic syringe could be withdrawn. Walling Kays that Jackson thought of arsenic I and cocaine, but decided on prussic I acid. I

In view of this confession, a secoud and more careful postmortem examinatit11 was made of the dead girl's body, i,v. Pythian, who made the postmortem examination, declares that she did not iio from the effects of poison, but from hemorrhage. In other words that she was decapitated while alive. Every organ was found to be in perfect condition. This could not possibly have been the case, he says, it' death had resulted from poisoning. The heart and lungs, he declares, wotild cert airily have shown unmistakable signs of the fatal action of the poison. Therefore the climax of horrors in the long drawn out series of horrors of the case is that tlie poor girl was murdered in cold blood

having

her head cut -i. This in direct contradiction to \Vidling's confession. At 4 o'clock Fridiiy afternoon, as the light of di faded away and left the stavionhouse cellroom in semi-darkness ami abject gloom, Scott .laclcson in his lonely cell began to show the first real signs of weakening. He sent for Secretary Tibbiits of the Y. M. 0. A., to whom he said he wanted to make a confession. Upon the arrival of Mr. Tibl)itts the prisoner shook tlie hand of the secretary and after some little conversation Jackson asked the secretary to pray with him, which he did. While the prayer was in progress, Jackson cried: "Oh, Lord, forgive me "Oh, Lord, have mercy upon me

After the prayer Jackson asked the secretary if he had a Bible. He had not, but soon procured one and returned to the cell.

Later it was learned that Tibbett's wrote the confession as it was dictated but the latter signed it. "Here, wiih the Bible in my hand, on my knees be fore God, I was not guilty of murdering that poor girl. 1 did get her to come to Cincinnati to undergo an abortion. Walling was to get $.30 for performing it. I was guilty of getting her oo if. but not of murdering that poor girl. "I don't know where he killed her or how he killed her. or what he did with her after he killed her. I did not kill tlie poor girl. He is the guilty man. Will Woous was to send c*)0 to him through me for performing the abortion. This is the truth, so help me God."

The confession was signed by liis full name, Scott Jackson. It was written in a line hand.

'Miss Bryan, lias been sent to jail in default of $5,000 bail. The charge is conspiring to induce a criminal oyeration. He charges that Jackson betrayed her and that he sent the girl to Cincinnati simply to save the family from disgrace.

The location of the head is still a mystery. Walling now claims that Jackson buried it in the Dayton sandbar.

The method of Pearl Bryan's death, where her head is concealed and whether the murder was committed on this or the other side of the river are the questions the detectives are now most anxious to solve.

s" vv-!eviff

Plummer of Newport insists

tlitflfe the crime was committed in Kentueky\ and he demands the custody of the prisoners, and the Cincinnati authorities agree that the prisoners belong to Plummet,

If the men were taken to Kentucky for trial, it is the opinion of every witness fiom that side of the river that their lives would not be worth a momeat's purchase. The crime itself sent ji thrill of horror through the entire •community on that side of the river and the unfeeling, cold-blooded discussion of its horrifying details by the two prisoners has aroused another sentiment no lass extreme. A considerable namber of the populace of the Kentucky cities n-'ioss the river, it seems, look Tipon ii,en who can perpetrate such a crime and then in the coolest and most •unfeeling manner talk of its details as objects of detestation, lit for instant death in some manner commensurate with the crime.

It appears that Jackson once threatened to cut a woman's throat while he was a student at Indianapolis.

Undertaker J. E. Black of Greencastle has obtained permission as far as the Cincinnati police department was concerned to remove the body to Greencastle next Monday for burial. The family are anxious to have it taken home and given a decent burial.- Sheriff Plummer lias consented to its removal after the day mentioned. Until that time it will remain in the Newport undertaking establishment.

SENATE AND HOUSE.

But

Very Little Accomplished in Either Branch of Congress. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—As soon as the

senate assembled Senator Frye of Maine was unanimously elected president pro tem. of the senate. With this brief interlude the senate plunged into the morning business with a Republican presiding officer in the chair, the vice president being absent.

Mr. Wolcott (Rep., Col.) secured the passage of a bill opening the forest reservations of Colorado for the locating of mining claims.

Mr. Allen then addressed the senate on the resolution known as the Davis resolution, relative to the Monroe doctrine.

A resolution offered by Mr. Stewart was agreed to, calling on the secretary of the treasury for information as to the estimated increase in revenue if the pending tariff bill becomes a law, and what she duty on wool per pound would be under the law based on the present price of wool.

The Hansbrough seed resolution wras then taken up and discussed until 2 o'clock, when the resolution contemplating a reform in handling appropriation bills by distributing them among the several committees, was taken up and Mr. Allison, chairman of the appropriations committee, moved to refer the resolution to the committee on rules "o be reported back without amendment the first Monday in next December. There was much confusion in the chamber with conflicting motions and efforts at an agreement on the pending resolution.

Finally, the motion of Mr. Allison was adopted—40 to

28.

The result was

accepted as a direct victory for the appropriations committee. The resolution directing the secretary of agriculture to execute the seed laws was made the unfinished business, thus entitling it,to right of way after 2 p. m.

Mr. Quay called attention, however, to his purpose to secure action on Monday (Mi the resolution referring back the tariff-finance bill to the finance committee.

At 3:1.5 p. m. the senate adjourned until Monday.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—Tlie house yesterday suddenly became involved in a bitter controversy. It sprang from the remarks by Mr. Talbert (Dem., S. C.) in defense of secession, which Mr. Barrett (Rep., Mass.) interpreted as treasonable. He had the speaker's words taken down •and offered a resolution of censure. After a wrangle and some explanations, Mr. Dalzeil of Pennsylvania moved to refer the Barrett resolution to the committee on judiciary. This was carried by a vote of 154 to 41. stood to mean that no taken of the matter. Mr. Owens of Kentucky was the only Democrat who voted against the motion.

The president's message transmitting to the house the report of the Nicaragua canal commission in response to the house resolution was laid before the

house. The night session for the consideration of private pension bills was dispensed with in order that the bond bill debate might proceed. An arrangement was effected for closing general debate on the bill at the close of the legislative day on Monday, and the house in committee of whole resumed the consideration of the bond bill.

BIDS FOR BONDS.

Ths Syndicate Will Get One-Tliirtl of tlie Whole Issue. WASHINGTON', Feb. 8.—Late yester

day afternoon the treasury officials completed the computation of bids for the new bond issue, from which it appears that the amount of the bids above that of J. P. Morgan and his associates (110.G877) was $66,788,050, and that the amount which will be awarded to the syndicate therefore will be $33,211,350, or approximately one-third of the whole issue. The number of successful

Will Wood, the alleged betrayer of bidders is 781. In arriving at this conclusion the of-

ficials have thrown out a very few bids obviously fictitious and a larger number were irregular in important particulars. Some of these bore no signature, a* a others did not contain the amount intended to be bid for, while still others omitted the rate. These last, however-, are not supposed to aggregate any considerable sum.

The fact that two-thirds of the entire issue are found to have been at rates ranging above 110.6877 is something of a surprise to all who heard the bids announced, but there is no question of the accuracy of the statement as all of the bids have been again gone over and all errors made in the hurry of the day of the opening have been corrected.

The treasury yesterday lost $724,S00 in gold coin and $52,000 in bars, leaving the gold reserve $44,483,126. The available cash balance is $171,145,407.

Toys Destroyed.

LEOMLNSTEK, Mass., Feb. 8.—Fire broke out about 9 o'clock last night from causes unknown in the 5-story brick warehouse of the W. S. Reed Toy company,. the largest manufacturing plant of its kind in the United States. A high westerly wind was blowing, so that in .15 minutes the flames were beyond control, and assistance was asked from Fitch burg. The plant was worth $100,000 and the loss will be $75,000. Several hundred hands will be thrown out of employment.

Officers of tlie Senate Elct toil. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The Repub

lican senators last night nominated A. J. Sliaw of Spokane, Wash., for secretary of the senate H. L. Grant of North Carolina for sergeant-at-arms, and Alonzo Stewart of Iowa to succeed the late Captain Bassett as assistant doorkeeper. It was decided to make no change in the office of chaplain.

Green-Needham Contest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8. George Green, known as Young Corbett, defeated Danny Needham last night in an eight-round fight. Green had the best of the fight" all through and nearly knocked Needham out. The latter saved himself by resorting to clinching.

Shot Through the Heart.

OLD TOWN, Me., Feb. 8.—Joseph Albert of this place was shot through the heart by Charles Doliff of Milford, Me., at 8 o'clock last night during a drunken row. Doliff was apprehended, and when taken into custody, claimed the shooting was in self-defense.

W. H. ENGLISH DEAD

Sudden Termination of His Six Weeks' Illness.

HIS LAST HOURS WERE PEACEFUL

During His Last Hours His Two Children Were With Him, Besides the Attending Physician, Dr. Hays, and Mr. and Mrs.

Hall of the Hotel—The Funeral Will Take Place Sunday. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 8.—William H.

English died at 12:35 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at his rooms in the English hotel. He has been sick for six weeks. It was his first serious illness in n*my years, and until the last few hours his friends hoped that his rugged constitution would survive the triple attack of influenza, inflammatory rheumatism and constitutional heart trouble. His condition in the last few days has varied widely, sometimes promising speedy recovery and again giving no hope.

Several days ago his only daughter, Mrs. Rose Walling, was sent for. She and her brother, Will E. English, have been in constant attendance. Thursday night the patient's condition became rapidly worse, and it was seen that he was in a state of collapse. His attending physician was called and a telegram was sent to Dr. Walling, the son-in-law, to hasten from St. Louis to Indianapolis. Early yesterday forenoon a consultation of physicians was held, and Mr. Will E. English was notified that his father's condition was well-nigh hopeless. The end came even sooner than was expected. During the forenoon the patient was unconscious, but it was possible to rouse him for an instant, and once or twice he spoke. His talk, however, was incoherent.

Mr. English died in the room in the southeast corner of the hotel which he has occupied so long. During his last hours his two children were with him, besides the attending physician, Dr. Hayes, and Mr. and Mrs. Hall of the hotel.

end came gradually and peacefully. The watchers said he died as one going to sleep.

All forenoon friends of tlie family were constantly calling at the hotel to make inquiry about Mr. English's condition. There were several of the most

This is under- intimate friends waiting below at 12:35 notice will be o'clock, when Dr. Hays came down stairs and announced that death had come.

Several times Thursday night Mr. English rallied sufficiently to talk to his children. He realized that he would die and told them so. Later in the evening he talked over his business affairs with his son, and left some instructions in reference to the management of his fortune.

He died in his workshop. Ever since he erected the hotel he has had his office in the corner of the hotel in which he died. The bedroom was just off the large room in which he managed his estate and in which he worked on his history. Within five steps of where lie died were great stacks of papers relating to his private business and other stacks pertaining to the historical research he made during the last few years.

The news of his death soon passed over the city, and within an hour many citizens arrived at the hotel to offer their services to the bereaved children. Dr. Walling, accompanied by his two sons (Mr. English's grandchildren ), English Walling, aged 18, and Willonghby Walling, aged 16, arrived from Chicago at 3 o'clock. Thursday night, when it became apparent that Mr. English could not recover, they were telegraphed to come immediately.

It was announced after the children had consulted with friends of the family that the funeral would take place Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, it was left with Mr. Walling to arrange the details. The burial will be at Crown Hill cemetery, where Mrs. English is buried, and where Mr. English, some time ago, erected a beautiful family monument.

BENJAMIN RATCLIFF HANGED.

The Slayer of a School Jioard Meets Deatii on the Scaffold. CANON CITY, Colo., Feb. 8.—Benja

min Ratcliff, the slayer of the entire school board of Jefferson district. Park county, was hanged at the penitentiary last night at 8:05 o'clock.

The crime for which Benjamin Ratcliffe suffered death was one of the most startling in the history of Colorado. Prompted by a desire for revenge for what he considered grievous wrongs, he deliberately shot down in the schoolhouse at Jefferson, Park county, the three members of the school board, Samuel Taylor, Lincoln F. iVicUuruy and George U. Wyatt.

The cause of the trouble was the circulation of reports of alleged criminal intimacy between Kaiciiife and his motherless daughter, a girl of 18. These stories Ratcliffe attributed to McCuruy. lie had also a fancied grievance against the other members of the board over the location of the schoolhouse.

None of the victims were armed, and as liatclffe, idle in hand, stood between them and the door, there was no escape.

Two Toivboats liurned.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 8.—The J. P. Jackson, valued at $55,000, insurance $35,000, and the Arthur Lambert, valued at $33,000, insurance $20,000, were destroyed by fire at Gretna, opposite New Orleans, last night. The lire originated jon the Jackson and is thought to have been incendiary. The flames spread so rapidly that destruction was complete in half an hour. They were two of the finest towboats of the Interstate Transportation company.

Decided Against tlie lianks. NEW ALBANY, Ind., Feb. 8.—The case

of the Atlas National bank of Chicago and the Harrison National bank of Cadiz, O., against the S. A. Culbertson heirs was decided against the banks yesterday., Culbertson was a stockholder in the State Savings bank of Topeka, Kan., which failed before his death. The plaintiffs, creditors of the defunct bank, brought suit to recover $10,000, the amount of stook held by Culbertson.

At 8 o'clock Mr. English rallied for a few minutes, and calling his son to his bedside, spone his name. He also recognized Mr. Hall, who stood near. He was unable to carry on a conversation, and soon passed into unconsciousness, from which he did not recover. Tlie I of tlie canefieids of Constancia have also

LATEST FROM CUBA.

Dr. Jomt Ma^en and His Son Political Prisoners in Havana. HAVANA, Feb. 8.—General Pando has

arrived here with his aides and with 11 political prisoners, among them Dr. Jose Maceo and his son. All have been imprisoned in Morro Castle.

It is reported that the insurgents to the number of 6,000 made a demand for surrender several times upon the garrison of Candeleria, but without result. When, finally, General Canellas arrived to relieve the garrison and the troops entered the town, after routing the insurgents, they were greeted with enthusiastic acclamations. General Canellas himself was lifted upon the arms of the people and carried through the streets.

Maceo is supposed to be at La Laguna Piedra, on the south coast between Palaeio and San Cristobal, looking for a suitable place to establish a hospital for his wounded. He is anxious, it is reported, to get back into Santa Clara province, but the authorities profess to believe it doubtful whether he will succeed in doing so, as they have their troops disposed at strong stragetic points.

Maximo Gomex is operating against these positions and is endeavoring to force the military line in order to keep open commmication with Maceo, but it is claimed the Spaniards that this will be very difficult to do as he has no artillery, or at least none in use.

The insurgents are now using explosive rifle bails. General Leque has arrived at Batabano. and is awaiting a gunboat which will transport him to Cienfugoes and thence to Villa Clara, where lie will rejoin his family. The bullet which he received in the battle of Paso Real is still imbedded in his left leg.

A detachment of government guerrilas has been engaged with a band of 50 insurgents, who left five killed and five rifles, after having burned the great canefields in the vicinity of Esperanza, province of Santa Clara.

At Alcou, province of Santa Clara, the column of troops commanded by Colonel Molina has had a skirmish with a band of insurgents, with a result that two of the latter were killed and two captured. Fifteen rifles fell into the hands of the troops.

At Trinidad, province of Santa Clara, the insurgents have burned a number of canefields, in addition to destroying by fire the plantation of Solitario. Some

been burned but the planters continue grinding cane. According to a dispatch from Matanzas a force of ,500 insurgents is encamped at the Gonzalez plantation, on the Matanzas district, resting after a long march from the east and evidently intending to push on westward shortly.

At the plantations of Union and Asturius Cuevitas, in tlie province of Matanzas, an additional force of 1,000 insurgents is encamped resting while on the way toward the province of Havana.

A third force moving westward under Quint in Bandera, trying to effect a junction with Gomez's forces, was engaged by the Spanish troops under General Godoy and compelled to move northward towards tlie coast between Armonia and Sagua la Chice.

Bandera's insurgents are carrying numbers of sick and wounded, the' latter having- their injuries badly dressed. Many unarmed men are also with the two insurgent forces just referred to.

Women Can Vote in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 8.—The right of the women of Ohio to vote for members of school boards was sustained by a close decision of the supreme court yesterday. Tlie case in point was that brought by Burt F. Mill* vs. the city board of elections of Coiumbus, to test the validity of the Earn hart law passed two years ago, granting women, the right of franchise. Tlie case was decided in the circuit court in favor of the law and the supreme court affirmed the decision.

Alleged Sheei) Thieves Arrested. COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 8.—The police

PROGENY OF FREAKS.

SOME RESULTS OF ROMANCES IN THE SHOW BUSINESS.

?he First Real Living Skeleton, His Wife and Their Three Skin and Bone Sons. An Old Museum and Side Show Man

ager Taps His Memory Tank.

According to Manager T. E. Sackett of the Bijou theater, Isaac W. Sprague 1 was the first unnaturally or abnormally thin skin and bones man to be exhibited to the public under the title of a "living skeleton." It was during the palmy days of Barnum's Greatest Show on Earth, and while that celebrated showman was raking the continents in search of curiosities in 1864. Incidentally Mr. Sackett was in those days with ToDy Pastor. Mr. Sackett was acting as doortender, manager and all around man for Pastor. He had previously been out with Millie Christine, the two headed girl, and had an eye out for freaks. When the Tony Pastor show reachcd Florida, Stone & Murray's circus came there. The old inhabitants will remember Stone & Murray's show. It was contemporaneous with Dan Rice's, Thayer & Noyes' and afterward with the John Robinson circus. With Stone & Murray was Isaac W. Sprague, the living skeleton. Mr. Sprague had been discovered by Barnum in Massachusetts. He was the first living skeleton on record since the discovery of the world by Adam. And Sprague was a real living skeleton too. He was nothing but skin and bones, yet he was healthy and jolly.

In 1865 Barnum collected several curiosities, including Sprague, and sent them for a tour of the world. Spragne was the big card. Next to him was a skeleton woman, nearly as attenuated as Sprague, whose name has escaped the wonderful memory of Showman Sackett. Among the other freaks with which Barnum expected to and did astonish the world was Joyce Heth, the colored woman he picked up in the south, supposed to be 125 years old the "woolly horse," and Annie Swan, the first giantess ever on exhibition.

Spr gne, on the steamer going over to London, fell desperately in love with the skeleton woman. She returned his affection, and, according to Manager Sackett, who was on the voyage, it was a sight for the sentimental to observe the billing and cooing of these attenuated specimens of Pharaoh's "lean ldne.

The outre lovo affair gave Barnum a business hint, which he was not slow to take advantage of. On their arrival in dear old "Lunnon" the showman advertised and heralded the astounding fact far and wide that on a certain day there could be seen at St. James hall (where they were showing) something that the world had never before witnessed, namely, the marriage of two living, breathing skeletons. He also announced the fact that never before in the annals of show business had such a thing as the wedding of freaks been performed in public. This was a fact too.

Of the enthusiastic crowds which such a unique announcement drew, or the interesting conduct of the living skeletons, wedded in the presence of "assembled thousands," Manager Sackett is silent. But he tells of a fact, however, which is of such interest that it was recorded in medical works, but never before has seen the light of newspaper prbiication. That was that a year after the marriage of the skeletons the wife bore a child which also was a "jiving skeleton."

Stranger still to relate—but Sackett stakes his fortune on the truth of it— two other children were also born to Mr. and Mrs. Sprague, and they were also of the skeleton mold. For many years afterward the parents traveled with their unnaturally thin offspring, and added to the stock of the world's astonishment, including both crowned heads and those that were bald. The original Sprague and his wife are dead, but the three skeleton children, now young men, are showing about the country, healthy, happy and rich.

This is the only case or succession of cases in medical annals where a father and mother transmitted the disease of wasting atrophy to their offspring.

Mr. Sackett also tells of another weird case that came under his observation in his peregrinating show days. Major Burnell, a celebrated showman of the sixties, found a pair of freak twins in the south, the offspring of colored people. One of the twins, a boy, was black as Kongo stock. The other, a girl, was a pure albino. The major engaged the twins for his show and exhibited them for years. The albino girl grew up and married an albino in the west. The offspring of the marriage was a baby as black as the ace of spades. Of course this enhanced the showing price of Charley and his albino wife, and Major Burnell increased their salaries accordingly.

D. K. Prescott was the discoverer of the far' famed Sleeping Beauty, whom he found in Tennessee in the sixties. He brought her to St. Louis. She was a young girl of surpassing beauty, with but one fault discoverable. She slept nine tenths of the time. She was the greatest puzzle the medical men had ever seen. It was one of theso latter who deprived her mother of a fortune and Prescott of one of his most popular curiosities. The young doctor was left alone in the showroom one day while the beauty was sleeping as usual. His curiosity prompted him to take out his lancet and puncture her arm. The blood started out and the beauty awoke with

a scream. Her mother rushed in from an adjoining room. Seeing the blood flowing from her daughter's arm, she fainted away. This ended the showing of the Sleeping Beanty. Her mother took her home, and she never slept in public any more.—Buffalo Courier.
