Be Points Oat the Necessity.For Monetary Reform--Doubt As to Congress Ke-\ a® •ponding to His CalL 135 V,*". ,v. £:v

Washington, July 7.—After a discussion lasting over an hour the cabinet today decided that the president should send to con* jress a message recommending legislation providing for a commission: to adjust the currency question pf the country. It was resolved that this message be sent to congress tomorrow, 'J providing that the tariff bill is by that time passed by the senate. It is the expectation

i. of the president that the subject will receive j-* ihe attention of congress during the present extra session. The message itself is

Written and is short. Its principal feature Is a quotation of the president's inaugural address on the financial subject.

The message was framed by the president himself, and like his other special messages

to congress, states the necessity of the occasion tersely. It was prepared by him after consultation with one or two advisers and submitted to the cabinet as a whole cu!y today when it was read in complete form. It recites the fact that the tariff bill has now passed both the house and the senate, und hopes that it will soon be concurrod in. by both bouses. Witb that acted upon, a subject of equal importance, he says., demands Immediate attention that of our re-

lorm in our currency. The message quotes from the president's inaugural address in Which he said: "Our financial system needs some reVision. It should all be put on an enduring basis, not subject to easy attack nor its stability to doubt or dispute. Therefore, I believe it necessary to devise a system which without diminishing the circulating medium or offering a premium for its contraction will put a remedy for these arrangements which, temporary in their nature, might well in the years of our prosperIty have been displaced by wiser provisIons. With adequate revenue secured we can •enter upon such changes in our fiscal! law as will no longer impose upon the governTnent the necessity of maintaining so large a gold reserve."

It also .cites the work and recommendat'ons of the Indinapolis currency convention ind says if the power is vested in the president it is his purpose to appoint a commission, non-partisan, consisting of prominent, well informed citizens who will command' public confidence. The message closes with the hope that the congress will enact legisiation at this session to authorize this commission to be made up of representatives uf both parties, so that the president may be prepared to report to congress when it In the firet term of the next regular session. •The president, while believing that congress will respond to his message, is not over confident, and there was some difference of opinion expressed by the cabinet a4 to the fate the recommendation Would meetat this session.

The majority, however, believed the opportunity was at least a favorable one, and that it was at any rate the duty of the administration to do what it could to hasten, the reform.

PLANT WILL BE SOLD.

Assets and Liabilities of the Terre Haute Maonfftctaring Co. Determined. The report of Messrs. A. M. Smith and J. A. Parker, who were appointed by Judge Henry to appraise the liabilities and assetsl of the Terre Haute Manufacturing Co., was returned yesterday. This is the preliminary step looking to the sale of the plant, and it is not improbable that another month may see the affairs of the company wound up. Receiver Cruft spoke in high terms of the work of the appraisers, who are two of our best known business men. Receiver Cruft said that on the showing made it would probably be the wish of those most deeply interested to sell the plant and that the court would determine whether the sale should be) a public or private one.

The liabilities* foot up the sum of $69,630.10, and the total assets, $51,586, leaving the excess of liabilities $8,044.10. The assets are classed as: $24,463.63 in bills receivable and accounts and the balance representing the value of the plant as appraised. The liabilities comprise secured notes amounting to $28,166.29 unsecured notes to the amount of $5,376.76 and book accounts running up to $26,087.04.

The inventory filed is a bulky typewritten roll of manuscript. Some of the items set forth are as follows:

The ground, in lot 198, except 38 feet off east end, and the building thereof $14,600. Engine, boiler, pump, stock and connections $1,400.

Personal property consisting of shafting, pulleys, couplings, hangers, belting and power working machinery for jflanufacturing bicycles $8,171.

Bicycle stock complete and in process oil manufacture, benches, stands, small tools and office furniture $17,417.

Sewing machines complete and in process of manufacture with stock, patterns, tools, forks and letter patents, $7,120.

The report shows that the secretary of the company. J. A. McDermott, had overdrawn salary $588.87.

THE CHICAGO MARKETS.

Osrn Takes a Drop Bnt the Bulls Had Possessions of Wheat. Chicago, July 8.—The bloom was shaken off the boom in corn today by the unloading of some of the big lines of September that had accumulated during the recent advance. It closed at decline. Wheat had considerable foreign encouragement but closed %c lower than it did yesterday. OaPs closed unchanged and provisions unchanged to 5 cents lower.

Wheat was again in control of the bulls at the opening of the board today. There was no trading in July to speak of, but September wasjis lively as a small boy's "nigger chaser," and for a time fully as erratic. Trading in that option commenced at from 66H to 66% against yesterday's closing price of It dropped to 66!§6%, then went skipping upward from fraction to fraction until in a little over half an hour frqm the start it perched for a few moments on 67%. From that ,... it began to drop gently again, and took a long rest when it got back to around 67.

There were various reasons for %he strength the market displayed. The Rus-

fing

iian wheat" crop was reported to be sufferfroni excessive rain and the Russian. *Shippers in consequence to be buying American wheat on speculation. New

York wired shortly after the opening -that foreigners were good buyers and Arheat sfeairee. Heavy rain in the northwest was 4oing damage to spring wheat

,«ec$i"ding"stt-

some of the dispatches from

there. Liverpool quoted an advance of Vj-d per cental to begin with the local commission hotises had cable orders for Sep-* ltrmb#r wheat from the United Kingdom, "and continent. St. Louis supplemented the buying of the day before by fresh liberal "purchases. Chicago- receipts were five carloads.

Minneapolis and Duluth reported 235 cars against 403 a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 333,000 bushels.

There was some disposition to realize at the opening and for a time, more wheat was put on the market than it could readllv absorb. As soon as Jhe market received outside support, notably from St. Iiouls, the situation changed at once. The m&rket in the last half of the session, became dull, and with the falling off in business there was a tendency in the price to work lower. The foreign orders for flour were liberal, but a break in the drought In the corn belt was predicted and caused an essier feeling in that article that affected wheat speculation unfavor-

ably. September got down to €6% and held .obstinately close to those figures until about. 10 minutes from the close, when a 'general selling pressure caused a decline to 64%@%, which was the trading rata at the close.

In cpm there was a continuation of the activeness of the past few days, but the evident dessire among the heavy longs was to realize on tJwir holding's. Reports from the corn belt were mixed as usual. The heaviest blow to\the bullish feeling came from the weather bureau, which predicted a breaking of the drought west within the next 36 hours. Local receipts were 352 cars. September opened very irregularly at from 2? to and worked up and down between 27*4'®28. being weakest near the end. It closed at 27%, about %c ujyler yesterday's final figures.

The market for oats was firm, and active throughout, the strength being -due principally to sympathy with wheat, f-horts bought liberally. Local receipts amounted to 178 carsr September opened a shade higher at %, sold UT to lfPA, back to 18% and closed at 18V4 bid.

Provisions were dull aind neglected and the tendency was downward after a firm opening at some improvement, due to a smaller run of hogs than expected. Packers were moderate sellers, but enough was offered to create the weak feeling. At the close September pork was 5 cents lower at 772^. September lard unchanged at 412% and September ribs unchanged at 445.

Estimated receipts Friday: Wheat 5 cars: corn jJ02 cars oats 200 cars hogs 24,000 head™

Does It Depend On Ohio Street? There are a good many people wondering why the board of park commissioners do not take more interest in Collett Park. It was announced last year that a drinking fountain for horses was to be placed in the beautiful place. It was given out, too, that concrete walks were to be laid from the south to the north ends. Then it has been generally supposed there would be band concerts. The fountain has not been built. The concrete walk has not materialized, apd there has been but one concert. There is a great deal of money in the park fund. The people of the city pay taxes to maintain the park and have music there. The working people love to go there to hear good music, but the pleasure has been denied them this year. It is believed the commissioners are holding onto the park money for a purpose, and that purpose is said to be the making of improvements at a park east of the city. Mrs. Deming offered a piece of ground to the city, conditioned on the opening of Ohio street. Ohio street is not nearly opened yet, and the indications ar© that it will not be very soon. However, the money for park improvements and maintenance, it appears, is being held back for some purpose, and there are many who believe it will continue to be held back until the commissioners see what is going to be done in the Ohio street case.

THOENE A MURDERER

BE CONFE88K8 THAT HI ALONBi KILLED WILLIAM GULBKNSCPPK.

New York's Great Murder Mystery Practically Cleared By His Arrest—The 3fchWay, (S. J.) Murder Mystery.

•New York, July 7.—Martin" Thome, the supposed accomplice of Mrs. Augusta NacR in the murder of William Guldensuppe, 'Is locked up at police headquarters. He was arrested at 10 o'clock last night at Eighth avenue and One Hundred and wenty-fifttt street. The arrest was accomiilleh^cf tjtn the instructions of Acting Inspector O'Brien, anB was made by him and several detectings from the central office.

The streets were thronged, as\usua£ there at that hour. The arrest was made very quickly. All the spectators saw was that two men suddenly approached a short, stout man, who was leaning against a railing which guards an area in the basement of Spear's drug store on that corner. No words were spoken. The two detectives quickly pushed their man into the side' door of the drug store from Eighth' avenhe.'1 They made a hurried search of his pockets. He appeared to have no weapon,-and the only thing they took was a roll' of 'money from his trousers. Thome was very ^ale and agitated. His face was smoothIJ- shaven. His mustache, which had been noted in all the descriptions of him as having been large, and curled at the ends, had been lately cut off.

Thome's arrest came about through a friend whom he had known for years. This man is John Dolpha, a barber, who while a friend of Thorne, did not care to be considered a confederate in a crime of the most hideous character. Had Thorne not insisted upon associating with Dolpha, he might perhaps at this hour be free. As it was a message from Thome to Dolpha to.mfet him last night at 10 o'clock at the corner of Eighth avenue aud One Hundred and Twen-ty-fifth street had the effect of worrying Dolpha to the point where he could no longer conceal his secret. Dolpha told Acting Inspector O'Brien of his proposed meeting, which was to occur at 10 o'clock at the corner of Eighth avenue and One Hundred apd Twenty-fifth street.

At just 10 o'clock Dolpha met Thorne. The latter backed against the railing, resting himself with his arms extended. Dolpha remarked: "Let's take a drink. Come on." Thorne at first seemed willing, and took' a~ few steps, but safcd, "No, I don't a drink. You go along t£ yourself.

Dolpha then started away. Just at this point, Detective McCauley, not wining to take any risks, jumped forward and caught Thorne by the arm, at the same time feeling of his hips to see if he carried any weapon. Detective Brice came up on the other side, and the two officers walked their man to the drug store, where he was searched. They then boarded the down-town train, taking' their prisoner to police headquarters.'"^,

THORJNE CONFESSES. 'J!

Positive identification of the man arrested last night as Martin Thorne, the alleged confederate in the murder and dismemberment of William Guldensuppe, was m«4e today. Mrs. Haften, of Woodside, L. I., called at the police station, and, after seeing Thorne,' said that she had seen him about the house in Woodside, where Guldensuppe is supposed to have been butchered.

Acting Inspector O'Brien said today that he h^d in his possession a full confession from Thorne, admitting that he had murdered Guldensuppe and giving all the details of the crime.

O'Brien thinks he knows where Thorne dropped the head of Goldensuppe into the river, and says he is going to arrange for the dragging of the river at that point this afternoon. He al.°^j says that Thorne, in his confession to a friend, said that he had been disappointed in the house at Woodside, as the drain from the bath-tub instead of running into a sewer, ran into a ditch outside the house.

The confession which O'Brien has in his possession and which presumably was made to John Dolpha, the barber, who betrayed Thorne, gives the full history of the crime. According to this document the murder was committed in the house at Woodside which had been rented by Mrs, Nack. Mrs. Nack drove out to the Woodside house with Guldensuppe a week ago Saturday. Thorire, with a revolver in hand, was concealed sbehind an inner door.

Mrs. Nack sent her victim inside to **seei how he liked the house," and on his entering Thorne shot him through the head. IThei body was placed in the bath tub and cut. up, the sections carefully made up in bundles, and the head incased in plaster of p&rls. Mrs. Nack returned to the house in the afternoon when all was over, and, driving with Thorne to the river, threw the packages overboard. How one package found its way to the woods, where it was discovered, the confession does not say.

Thorne was taken into court and remanded till Friday, when Mrs. Nack will also have a hearing. He had apparently made no attempt to leave New York after the murder and no attempt at disguise beyond shaving off his mustache.

In his room was found a valise full of newspaper clippings, giving an account of the murder, which he had evidgntly .tajcen from local papers.

Mrs. Haften, who fives nexf door to the Woodside house, which figured so tragically in this story, was at the police station where the alleged murderer is detained, and positively identified Thorne as the man she saw in Mrs. Nack's company at Woodside, and a Frenchman in the employ of Buela, Who owns the Woodside cottage, also recognized in Thorne the man who hired the house, and who came to Buela's office in, Twenty-sixth streeet. Mrs. Nack is apparently unmoved at these deveIopments^%p.d refused to discuss the case.

THE RAHWAt MVRDiJR MYSTERY.

New Light on It From ^Sister of the "Victim. '.

New York, July 7.-rThe Herald this morn ing publishes an article entitled "Light on the Rahway Mystery," which says:

What has been known for ten years as the "Rahway mystery^ is no longer a mystery, according to a statement made by Mrs. William Harris. She says she is a sister of the murdered girl, Mary Dorman. The story of the mystery follows:

Agirl wearing clothing of European make was found with her throat cut and maflcs-of violence on her body on the morning of March 26, 1887, on Central avenue, Railway, N. J. A coroner's jury rendered a velvet to the effect that an unknown girl had befen murdered by some person or persons'unknown. At the trial there has been a number of identifications, but the only one that was plausible came from Mrs. William Space, wife of a farmer at Deckertown, N. J. She positively identified the body as that of her sister, Mary Dorman. Subsequently Mrs. Harris, another sister, confirmed it.

A middle-aged woman, wearing glasses called at the Herald office and said she wanted to tell about the person who murdered her sister, Mary Dorman. She said she was the widow of William Harris, and that she had received a letter from her sister Maggie, from Brisbane, Australia, telling her the names of the murderers. "I have not the letter with me," said Mrs. Harris. "I received it June 27th, and the '.same day mailed it to a friend of our family?

in Scotland. It w$s like this: 'Dear Jennie —X is dead. It was he and his brother who did kill Mary. It was lovely to see him die and confess. I 'never believed he killed her. I hoje the Lord will forgiva him.*" Mrs. Harris received a letter from her mother in March, 1887, telling that Mary would sail for New York on March 17th. The letter also said: "Don't tell the folks at Deckertown that Mary is married."

There is sad story connected with this injunction, and. now Mrs. Harris has supplied the missing links. "*Mary was a mother at 15," she said. "The father of her child was the son of a Scottish baronet After she was married to Samuel Caine, a half blind mason. She left him and iaved her money. She had £460 when she jeft rSpotland, a gold watbh^and chain and some jewelry." -fr Mrs Harris said tho murd&ers—for there Were two concerned in the crime—Were relatives of her own by marriage. One of the ^wo men, who were brothers, lived in this country, although at the same time his wife was in Stotland. The other brother came over on the same ship with Mary. According to Mrs. Harris, John McMillan, a countryman of the girl's, recognu ji her on shipboard, but she denied ".hat she was Mary Dorman. She had registered under a -ctitious name. "These men*" said Mrs. Harris, "got hold of Mary. The,,one who was here, and who lived in Jeirse»tjQity, told her he would take her to her, jester Agnes (Mrs. Space), at Decker towns N.,

J. The three got on the

Rahway trainb and, they took her out, murdered her andV.tpok.ljer money, watch and chain and jewelry."

The names ol tho men supposed to be implicated in the affair are not published in' the Herald. ,"%j

CHICAGO'S MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.

Police Believe That Professor E. C. Cope"•*1 land Was Killed.

Chicago, July 7.—The police now have a theory that the mysterious shooting of Bicyclist Nelson, while in company of Mrs. Staples, in Washington Park, last week, was a cause of mistaken identity, that the shots! were fired by a highwayman, and that robbery was the motive. Incidentally they are searching for Professor E. C. Copeland, formerly principal of the high school of Delaware, 0.,who, the police think, was the in» tended victim of the robbers. Professor Copeland came to Chicaga June 20 to visit an old friend.. nHe was "an enthusiastio wheelman, and spent much of his time in the parks and along the boulevards. On June 29, the same evening Nelson was shot, Copeland had a draft for $700 cashed at the American Exchange Bank. It has been learned that he was followed from the bank by a roughly-dressed negro. The policc have also learned that the professor, after drawing the money w.cnt to Washington Park, and that he was followed by the negro at least part of the ipy.

The police believe the negro followed Copeland directly into the park for the purpose of robbery, but lost track of him after dark, and by mistake shot Nelson. Every effort is being made to find Copeland, who has not been seen the night of the shooting.
