SAT THEIR VICTIM.

The Slayers of Pearl Bryan Heartless Wretches.

THEY WILL NOT TELL THE TRUTH

Each Accuse the Other of Committing: the Diabolical Crime While Standing Over the Corpse of the Dead Girl An Indianapolis Girl Tells a Very Improbable

Story. CINCINNATI, Feb. 10.—Scott Jackson and Alnir/n Walling, the Fort Thomas suspects, have been transferred from the city building to the county jail. Though each has made an alleged confession, thsj have told little more than was known two days ago, and each persists in laying the crime upon the other.

Saturday afternoon the headless remains of Pearl Bryan were brought to this side to Undertaker Epply's establishment. Jackson and Walling were taken from their cells, and led into the presence of the murdered girl's body. Standing about were the officers, a sister and a brother of the victim, and friends from Greencastle. Jackson and Walling went through the ordeal without flinching. In the presence of the corpse both denied the crime, and each laid it upon th? other.

Later the prisoners were taken into a private room, where the murdered girl's sister made a touching appeal to them to toll what disposition they had made of the head. They resisted her pleadings with the same stolid indifference that has marked their conduct from the iiiBt. Later the Greencastle party left vitli the remains for home.

The authorities are now bending their energies to unravel the cab part of the mystery, but so far have made little progress. [Neither the :b nor the driver has been found.

Pearl Bryan's movements have been traced up to Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. From that moment up to 7 o'clock Friday evening, when she was in Wallingford's saloon, all trace of her is lost.

Will Wood of (Ireencastle charged with compH"ity in an attempted criminal operation, arrived in O.m innuti Saturday e\e.::ug. accompanied by his father. *Th fiwvy from Greencastle is that they left (."reeneastlo to escape the anger of the populace. The father denies this, and says they are here to be near the scene of the investigation. "No trace of the missing head has been found, nor airy clew that promises to load to its ultimate recovery.

WONT LET THEM HANG. A Wild Story Told by an Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLTS, Feb. 10.—The Fort Thomas murder mystery may have a ?l©w in this city. Lula May Hollingsworth, one of Pearl Biyan's girl •friends, who has been boarding at 1 Henry street, claims to know something about the tragedy. Miss Hollingsworth's [knowledge of the case was brought to light yesterday through a letter written ••to' Mffitfad E. W. Starr of Greencastle. tOSki wh'i) wrote the letter is H. E. Hatcliflt", a traveling salesman from Baltimore. He advised Mai-shnl Starr to investigate the matter and the marshal came here yesterday afternoon.

Detective Frank Wilson was detailed to assist the marshal. They called on [Miss Hollingsworth. She was not inclined to be communicative at first. "They then decided to take her to police headquarters and have her questioned [by Superintendent Colbert. While her story is not complete in detail it shows -that she may know something about the death of Miss Bryan. Miss Hollingswortli says that on the afternoon of Jan. 28 she was at the Union station and met Miss Bryan. She had visited in Greencastle, and had become acquainted with [Miss Bryan there. After the usual ..greetings were over Miss Bryan told Hier that she was in deep trouble. She Explained its nature and said that JacksOn w:is responsible for her condition.

She said it would never do for her people to hear of her disgrace, and she was going to Cincinnati to have an abortion performed. She asked Miss Hollingsworth the nature of drugs used in such cases, and Miss Hollingsworth told her what she had heard was good.

At this point in her story, Miss Hollingsworth wavered. She said that certain drugs had been purchased here and that four drug stores were visited. She •would not tell the names of the drugs 3ut sai4 that whisky formed a large .part of the mixture. She said the stuff pru^hased cost 45 cents. She admitted that the stuff was purchased by a woman. Miss Hollingsworth said she -was acquainted with Jackson and Wood, but had never met Walling, iniat same evening Miss Bryan took a Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton train for Cincinnati. She saw Wood after €hat. He came here the following Friday and Miss Hollingsworth was at the 4depot. Both of them being acquainted •with Miss Bryan they talked about her trouble*. Wood was on his way to

South Bend, Ind., left shortly after his arrival here. Miss Hollingsworth's manner of telling her storv convinced the officers that she .s holding something back. She •was sr. ojecred to a most rigid examination and on several occasions she lost [her temper. She said she had not heard of the murder until two days ago. She bad no idea it would turn out so badly. "I am positive that Pearl was not -murdered," she said. "Well, how do you know?" "I know," replied the girl," but I do not propose to tell." "Why not?" "Simply because I do not intend to incriminate myself. There was an occurrence between Jackson, Pearl Bryan jand myself that were I to tell of it •would clear up the mystery surrounding jher death." "Why don't you tell it, and set the jnhids of her folks at rest?" "For tins reason: It would incriminate me. However, I do not propose to see those boys hang, and when the •last hope is gone I will tell what I know |n order to save their necks. They did jnot kill Pearl."

How do jou know they did not kill 'her?" "Because she died by her own hand. -J have a theory. Pearl took the medi«cdne herself. She was in Jackson's jroom at the time. It had a different effect from what she expected and she ,gre\v so bad that Jackson saw she was j5oing to die. He knew it would nevef

do have her die in the house, so he secured a hack and assisted by Walling took her across the river. She may have died on the way, or may have been dead before they got her out. of the room, and their object in taking her there was to hide the crime. When near Fort Thomas they cut off her head and disposed of it to avoid identification. See if it don't come out that way.''

Late last night Miss Hollingsworth told the police that she had bought for [Pearl Bryan three kinds of drugs here and instructed her to buy another drug after she reached Cincinnati, but to be careful of it as it was deadly poison and would kill her if not used correctly. Miss Hollingsworth says that Pearl Bryan then said to her: "I will go to Cincinnati and take the stuff and if it kills me I will be near Jackson and he will have to swing for it." Miss Hollingsworth further says that Pearl was very bitter toward Jackson who was responsible for her condition.

Miss Hollingworth will probably be taken to Cincinnati.

LAST SAD RITES.

Funeral Services Over the Remains of the Late William H. English. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 10.—The funeral of William H. English occurred from English's hotel, ^he late residence of the deceased, yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and was one of the largest ever held in this city. Mr. English was the wealthiest man in the city, his property being estimated at from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000, and has taken a prominent part in the affairs of Indiana for half a century.

The body lay inTstate in the capitol from 9 o'clock in the morning until 1 o'clock in the afternoon under the guard of the Masons, of which order Mr. English was a member, and was viewed by 10,000 people.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the funeral exercises were held at the hotel by the Rev. John B. English of New York city, a cousin of the deceased. The exercises were simple and brief. Outside the hotel 5,000 persons were gathered, the interior being crowded to its utmost capacity.

The funeral procession was nearly one mile in length, being headed by the Masons, who also conducted the services at the grave. The body was laid to rest in the family vault.

The will was written by Mr. English himself a few years ago and now rests in the vault of Fletcher's bank. It will be probated at once.

FOUGHT AT CHURCH.

Feud lietween Two Fiimilies lirealcs Out and Three Krothers Ave Shot. SULPHUR SPRIXUS, Tex., Feb. 10.—A runner lias reached here from Clifton Prairie, a neighborhood 15 miles southwest of here, staring that a difficulty occurred there yesterday at a church where the people of the neighborhood had assembled for worship. The participants were the Walker and William boys. Pistols were used freely and with deadly results. Charlie Walker was killed outright, two balls entering the back of the head and lodged over the eyebrow. Will, his brother, was shot under the right arm. The third brother, Efton, had his scalp grazed with two shots.

It is not known how bad the Williams boys are wounded, yet it is known that at least one of them is seriously wounded and will die. Officers and physicians have gone to the scene of the conflict. Both families are prominent people, and this is the deadly beginning of a feud that lias been raging for many months between them.

NO FIGHT IN MEXICO.

One Tlioi a»d Troops Ordered to Patrol the IJorder. CHIHUAHUA, ldex., Feb. 10.—Governor Almalada of the state of Chihuahua has taken decisive steps toward preventing the proposed pugilistic carnival taking place within the confines of this state. He has issued orders for 1,000 troops to proceed to the border and patrol the city of Juarez and adjacent territory during the days on which the fights are scheduled to occur.

The governor has also dressed a letter to the principals and managers of the fights, informing them that they will positively not be allowed to trespass upon Mexican soil if any pugilistic encounters are contemplated.

No Negotiations With Germany. JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 10.—The Diggers News, the organ of the Transvaal government, denies that any negotiations have been opened by that government with Germany.

DISMISSED WITH COSTS.

A 20,000 Acre Land Case in West Virginia Thrown Out of Court. SUTTON, W. Va., Feb. 10.—Judge Bennett, at a special term of tho circuit court Saturday, dismissed with costs the celebrated suit of Willard Parker of New York city against I. M. Wade et al., involving the title to 20,000 acres of land in Braxton and Gilmor counties, valued at $250,000.

Judge Bennett held that plaintiffs had not the slightest claim upon the property, and pronounced the suit another attempt of Wall street sharks to steal towns and farms in this state. It is alleged that Parker, who originally brought the suit in the United States court, where it was dismissed, and who has been fighting the cltim for five years, belongs to a syndicate similar to one headed by King of Boston who attempted to grab McDowell and other counties.

BELIEVED TO BE SCHLATTER.

California Authorities Tliink Tliey Have the Great Healer in the Chain Gang. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.—The jail officers of this city are positive they have us a member of the chain gang the eccentric healer, Francis Schlatter. The mysterious prisoner was arrested at Redlands Friday as a vagrant. He declines to discloso his identity to the other prisoners and holds aloof from them.

To the sheriff he stated that he was doing penance and had ridden across the Yuma desert on a mule, which had died from exhaustion a few days ago.

The prisoner's description fits that of Schlatter perfectly, and the fact that the healer visited Colton, Cal., a year or so ago as tramp leads many to believe that it is really he who is in cus--j ..lOftV •',

DOWN IN THE DEEP.

Several Schooners Wrecked Along the Atlantic Coast.

AT LEAST TEN MEN DROWNED.

Hie Schooner Florida Wrecked Off the Coast at Ainesburg, Mass. the Schooner Allianca Off the Coast at Gloucester,

Mass., and the Schooner Stella Off the Coast at North Hampton, X. II. AMESBURY, Mass., Feb. 10.—The schooner Florida, coal-laden for an east-

Salisbury beach last night. The Plum Island lifesaving crew attempted to reach the vessel with a line for the breeches buoy but failed. Seven men were seen in the rigging when she came ashore.

Big bonfires were built on the beach, and attempts made by fishermen to reach the fated schooner. Bombs with line attached thrown by the lifesaving crew were not caught by the men on the Florida, who were in a benumbed condition. The lifesavers could not reach them as no boat could stand the sea. Five of them were on the mizzenmast, one on the mainmast and the other on the bowsprit. During the evening hatches and portions of the Florida's boats came to shore.

The Florida went to pieces at 10 o'clock, when the masts gave away, letting the seven occupants into the sea. Two of the bodies were washed ashore, one that of a mulatto.

The ship's papers have been washed ashore and the name of the owners and crew found as follows:

Owners Charles Ryan, Joseph P. Stinson, Ed Mavhew, Henry Miller, all of New York.

Crew, all drowned—Arthur Brown, captain R. McCullock, Albert Williams, Gus Smith, John E. Johnson, Walter Bell. William Wills.

The vessel hailed from Belfast, Me. She struck the sand bed near where the schooner Jennie M. Carter was wrecked a year ago in a treacherous spot.

A portion of the lifesaving crew are patroling the beach watching for other bodies. Several hundred people saw the wreck go to pieces.

SIMILAR DISASTER.

The

Schooner Allianca Wrecked and Three Men Drowned. GLOUCESTER, Mass., Feb. 10.—The three-masted schooner Allianca, which left New York last Sunday, went ashore

on Plum Island last night and was stove to fragments, four of the crew being saved and three drowned. The schooner had 400 tons of coal for St. John, N. B. I Those drowned were: Captain Meltons of St. Johns, N. B., :$0 years old, unmarried: John Reed, of Calais, Me., aeed 26 Andrew —, cook, of Spring

Hill, N. S., aged 40. The Crew Saved. HAMPTON, N. H., Feb. 10. The schooner Stella, coal laden, went, ashore below Rye Beach last night during a a gale, and is a total loss. The crew of seven men was saved.

RESULT

ment, almost into the Mississippi river. There were 15 passengers in the coach and that none were killed is a miracle. All were more or less bruised, but only I the following were hurt seriously:

H. F. Hudwell of St. Paul, arm crushed. Miss Eva Pettit, Hannibal, Mo., eye I badly cut.

Miss M. Whittey, Quincy, Ills., hip fractured recovery doubtful. J. C. Cohen, stockman, Minneapolis, head cut.

Mrs. Triester and son, Hannibal, both cut about the head. D. C. Webster, engineer Wabash train, knee injured.

The injured were sent to St. Louis. J. C. Peaseley. vice president of the Burlington system and family were in the special car "Lycoming" at the rear of the passenger train. They returned to Quincy.

Responsibility for the collision is alleged to rest with the engineer of the Wabash train. He did not stop as law and instructions require before approaching the crossing. He stated that the brakes failed, but it was found that his engine was not reversed. The damage will approximate $5,000.

ARSENIC ~FOR BAKING POWDER.

It Is Not a Good Substitute, as One Family Learned. UNIONTOWN, Pa., Feb. 10.—Meager details of a fatal poisoning in Nicholson township have been received. The victims are the family of John Sliger. One daughter is dead, another is lying r,t the point of death, while the other members of the houshold are in a critical condition.

The poisoning was the result of a mistake in using arsenic instead of baking powder in making bread. All the family ate the poisoned food. Soon none were able to go for aid and remained several hours without attention. A neighbor made the discovery and sent for a physician. Mr. and Mrs. Sliger will probably recover. There are grave doubts concerning the others.

Death of Kx-Judge William I. Ivenyon. KINGSTON, N. Y., Feb: 10.—Ex-Judge William L. Kenyon died at his home here yesterday, aged 75. He was one of the most widely known lawyers in the Hudson river valley. He was graduated from Rutgers college in 1842, and was admitted to practice four years later. He was chosen to the Thirty-sixth congress from Ulster and Green counties in 1873, and was a delegate to the Republican national convention in 1872 and 1876. He was elected county judge of Ulster in 1883.

OF A COLLISION. One of Seriously Hurt, Them Fatally.

Fifteen Persoi

HANNIBAL, Mo., Feb. 10.—Fifteen persons were more or less seriously hurt and one can not recover, as the result of a collision at 12:40 o'clock Sunday afternoon between an eastbound Wabash stock train and a St. Louis, Keokuk and I Northwestern passenger train coming I south. The collision occurred near a tunnel one mile north of this city. The stork train, which had just emerged from the tunnel, struck the passenger I train, crushing in the side of the ladies' coach and throwing it over an embank-

AS A GREAT NATION.

WE HAVE LEFT UNDONE THINGS^WE OUGHT TO DO.

This Is the View of Congressman J. G. Cannon—The Necessity of Liberal Appropriations—Looking at a Wider Field.

More Money Per Capita.

[Special Correspondence.]

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Hon. Joseph G. Cannon was in a delightfully social and reminiscent mood when I called on him the other evening at the Normandie, and having just come in from his regular late afternoon spin on the bicycle he was aglow

"and, like ether old men, my thoughts turn oftener to the scenes of my youth, and I love to meet some one from the old neighborhood and hear how the boys and girls of 1850-60 have turned out." I may be permitted to add that in the days he referred to his father was known to our folks, borrowing a term from Scripture, as the beloved physician. He was drowned while returning late at night from a professional call, so in the local memory his position was something like that of a martyr, and tears somotimes shone in the eyes of those who told of his good qualities and sad fate. Mr. Cannonv talked at great length of his classmates in tho Bloomingdale Quaker school of early days on the Wabash, '"when around Annapolis a man wasn't in style unless he had an ague cake of the great antislavery flght made

IION. JOSEPH c:. CANXON.

by his Quaker friends and relative, and of tho developments of his own political side since the memorable day when he sat under the stand at Rockville and heard the first great speech of O. P. Morton, then candidate: for governor, opening the hot campaign of Finally, however, ho got on to what ho calls tho philosophy of budgets and gave his views as to tho principles which should govern tho committee on appropriations. With much clso he said: "The true question for the pooplo to ask is not, 'Do wo pay more taxes than we did?' but, 'f-what wo pay honestly and economically expended?' If yes, then the}' should bo willing to pay more, for just now this nation can earn and save very many dollars by tho proper expenditure of one. To state it bluntly, the United Staves has reached that point where it must assume a new and far higher and more commanding place among the nations. Providence has imposed on us the suzerainty of this western continent, and we cannot abdicate our function. If vetr-y to do so.' it will be much the worse for us. All history shows that a nation, in order to live, must go on developing, and any nation that withdraws its energies and contracts them within i\- own binn-i^'ii's is certain to becomo like China worse. A nation like this is not at liberty to sit back at selfish ease cr.d disregard the claims of the weak. Wo Ji :ve a duty too plain to be mistaken. And hero comes in tho great question of an efficient navy and coast defenses. and herein is made evident tho truth that parsimony is not »cononty."

Need of a Navy.

"What is your idea as to immediato action?" "I would have them all, both navy and defenses, brought to a very high stato of efficiency—not for war, but to 'prevent war. Under Arthur we began to build a navy, and though wo have been ridiculously slow we have made a very handsome start. We have navy enough to give us some standing, but, what is of*far more importance, wo have learned how to build a navy and have got the plant to do it and the men who understand the business, and if wo don't go ahead now it will be nothing less than criminal negligence. It is to strengthen the diplomatic arm that wo want these things. Ono dollar in preparation will save very many which would otherwise be expended in war. The embassador who speaks with a good navy bohind him is listened to. I want to say, however, that while I am not criticising any others our man at Constantinople Is in a condition of unusual embarrassment, and so far he appears to have done his duty well. "Embassadors, however, are not tho most important. In fact, I sometimes think that in these days of intercontinental telegraphs and rapid transportation we might do better with special envoys than resident embassadors. It is tho consular service that we need to develop. I am almost afraid to say how far I would go in that lino if 1 could havo my way and how much money I would spend in establishing a worldwide consular service on a new or at any rate a far more thorough and comprehensive system. We Ishould indeed we must—have it renovated from top to bottom. Not that it isn't pretty good now, but we want a system far better and more comprehensive than that of any of tho older nations, and wo want it put under afar more rigid system of civil servico. There should be a first class man of business in every great seaport and foreign city, and that man should make himself familiar with all tho details of business in his district. What do tho people of that country want, and how able are they to buy it? Ho should bo able to answer theso questions at a minute's notice.

Need of More Foreign Trade. "Did you ever flguro out how little has really boon done by tho great nations in foreign trade compared with what might bo done? Why, tho world contains 1,500,000,000 people and only about 400,000,000 of them can really manufacture for themselves. Now, all these uncivilized or not entirely civilized people who are using only or t3 worth each yearly of manufactures ought to use 20 times as much. To civilize them is merely to stimulate their desires and develop their capacity to bay. Look at the vnst tropical regions of Spanish America, where they produoe almost nothing to qompe.te^. with us and

need almost everything that we can manufacture cheaply. Why, we ought to sell those people $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 worth of stuff in a little while, even if we supplied them with nothing but household conveniences and farm implements—in which we beat the world, and do it easily. Now what has all this, you will say, got to do with my committee? Why, I would select the very best mon who could be got for the places, put them in all important centers there and have them make it thoir life business to serve this country in commercial lines, and to get the right kind of men wo must pay them. This country don't want cheap men to do its work. We want the best, and, by the blessing of God, we can afford to pay for them. "I sometimes smilo whon I think of the protests against increased cost and the pledges of retrenchment and then of the way circumstances have forced us into a wider field. Take the history of my committee, and it illustrates it beautifully. Tho constitution, you know, requires that all bills for raising money must originate in tho houso, and while it does not say that bills for spending money must, yet the reason of the thing carried it, and so for tho first 76 years the ways and means committee made the appropriation bills. Early in 1865, however, Thad Stevens carried a measure for a separate committeo on appropriations, and as he had been chairman of the ways and means ho elected to follow tho appropriations and was the first chairman in the Thirty-ninth congress. The committeo had all the 13 bills till [Randall had his great fight with Speaker Carlisle and our Bill Morrison, then chairman of tho ways and means. Of course it was taken for granted they wanted to curtail Randall's power, as he was a protection 1st.. At any rate. 1 hey took from the committee seven bills and gave control of them to tho special committees having tho special subjects in charge, and now we have exclusive control of but six bills.

Paying and Getting.

"A great reform, was it? Well, we have more work to do than the committeo onco had with all tho bills, and as we necessarily have a sort of supervision over the seven hills brought in by tho other committees, on account of deficiencies coming in, we can measure the advance with precision from year to year. It is destiny that is forcing us along the path toward higher functions and greatly enlarged national activities. And why not, if tho money is properly expended? Contrast our old neighborhood in 1850 and now. Taxes then were perhaps 50 cents on tho but. wl at did we get for it? Courts and jails! [Now the taxes are three times as high, and on live or ten times as much property, but look what the citizen gets for his money: The finest system of gravel roads in the world, with splendid bridges over the river and all the creeks at every important p'ace the finest school system in the couniry, a system that has been taken as a model by many new states and even by the District of Columbia, and a hundred other tilings." [Here Mr. Cannon told several anecdotes about tho mud roads of his early days and laughed most heartily at the recollection.] "'Why tho citizen gets twice or three times as much for each dollar paid in taxes as in 1850. Now it is perfectly practicable that tho United States should do the same, for, though it is a governmont of limited powers, within its sphere it is supreme. That gives us all the power we want as to navy and coast defenses—South Africa and the islands near to us, the Nicaragua canal and all the rest, and I am very decidedly for a bold and vigorous policy, believing that to be far more economical in the end."

Mr. Cannon directed mo to many curious and interesting points in the records of the committee on appropriations, and by tho courtesy of the chief clerk, Mr. James C. Courts, I was enabled to pass a very pleasant afternoon in the survey. It is an odd fact, by the way. that this committee has had but two chief clerks in tho :»1 years of its existence. Tho first was Robert J. Stevens of California, who held continuously for IS years, and was succeeded by Mr. Courts,of Tennessee, who has held for 1:3 years as chief and had previously boon Mr. Stevens' assistant for years. The latter was a Republican, and Mr. Courts is a Democrat, civil service rules having hold from tho start in this committee. Thad Stevens, as aforesaid, was the first chairman, and was followed in turn by Washburn of Illinois, Dawes of Massachusetts and Garfield of Ohio. Then came tho political revolution of 1874, and tho Democratic chairmen wero Randall, Holman and J. D. C. Atkins of Tennessee. Frank Hisoock, Republican, followed, then Randall again, then Cannon in the Fifty-first, Holman in the Fifty-second, Sayers of Texas in the Fifty-third, and Cannon again in the present house. He has been on tho committee for 14 years, having started with tho Forty-sixth congress, but lost his seat in the Fifty-second.

Mr. Randall's Prophecy.

When the debate about dividing the bills was at its hottest, Mr. Randall predicted a great increase of appropriations as the result of division. Well, I find by addition and division that for the last ten years of the old system tho total appropriations amounted to $29.66 per capita for the whole population, and for the first ten of the new system to $34.67 per capita. But it doesn't begin to follow that this increase of $5.11 per capita is due to the division, as Mr. Randall prophesied, for if Mr. Cannon has the right philosophy, itwould have come anyhow. It is a little •odd, however, that Mr. Randall—he was speaker and left tho chair to speak against the division—prophesiod that if the appropriation bills wore scattered thore would within 20 years "be a bankrupt treasury and probably an increaso of tho debt." Tho estimates submitted by tho departments for tho fiscal year 1807 aro nearly $11,000,000 larger than those for 1806, and exceed tho appropriations actually made for 1806 by more than $20,000,000. And tho deficiency and usual supplemental stuff are still to come in. So it looks as if we should havo to reconcilo ourselves to Mr. Cannon's philosophy and spend more [money per capita as wo get more numerous. J- H. I312ADLE.
