Mv KiiANrisca April 16 There Is I no abate
ment of popular Intern 1 In the dreadful crimes
tlmt have desecrated Emanuel Baptist Church
I A supposed that the arrest of Theodora
Durnnt would put nn end to the mystery lur
riimidlng the deaths of the two young girls who
nun lurid to their fate but tho prltonrr
coolly Unlei any knowledge of tho crimes
mill dielnres flatly thnt ho ran bring

ically Impossible for him to hnve been In tho
chnrih when tho crimes were committed na
lii n following In the church that remain loyal
to him but the majority believe with tho police
that I the evidence against him If conclusive
The chief myntcry now Is whether he had ac
complices ThoSe who have made a study of
the ene of the murder of Blanche Lumont de
tlnre that no ono of the strength of Durant who
t t lily llvo feet seven and of ulltiht build could
hire tarried unaided l tho bod of tho woman up
the narrow winding stnlrtvay to the
church bilfiy On this point they base their
belief that he had nt least one accomplice In the
church and tin man suspected Is n chum of
llurint who has shown Brest sympathy for
llurant Ho was In tho church on the morning
that Hlnncho Lamontwa killed Durant de
clared 1 that the man was playlncthe organ while
he wns fixing the electric wires hear the belfry
ttheie the girls body was found
The net that Mrs Fnrsytho a married wo
man win was a member of tho Emanuel
hurch has been mUlnc for n week has tamed
tli suspicion that a conspiracy existed among
moor more members of the church for ruining
p women And that their work became so bold that
murder wits Inevitable to prevent discovery
Ih I facts as gathered by the police show that
Juirmit tried to sednco Hlnncho Inraont and
then killed her and the murder of tho second
plrlwns to prctcnt her from revealing his at I
tempts to ruin Miss Lnmont I
I I Is supposed that hemet Blanche after school
1 tin Afternoon of her death and Induced her
to nccumpnnv him to tho church There ho
iniuU nn assault on her which she resisted le
threw t her down fastened his hand on her
throat and held It there until death resulted
t rum strangulation What to do with the
4 ilr was the problem that next confronted the
murderer He was well acquainted with tha
t hurch aod knew that tho belfry was seldom if
vcr visited He therefore made up his mind
j i infertile It there U accordingly stripped It
uf all clothing made a rope of the clothes and
Inl it about his victim and dragged the body
a up in the the belfry winding stair to the dustcovered room
On the steps still remain the marks made by
the lI t ly us it bumped from step to step The
lumderer had evidently relied on the body reo
wliilng undiscovered as tie took the precaution
iu leniove tho last vestlgeof clothing and went
MI fnr as to strip the rings from the ttngsrs
Mm clothing was hidden away tn places
i ird to detect and as the assassin left tho I
i lice he closed the door behind him and broke
the Knob oft the lock Tho thought probably
i nsed through his mind that In ear t come
the malnn might b found I they were thee
nnuM be nothing by which they could bo Iden

Mis Williams a the friend of Miss lamont

Young Durant appears to have led a Jekyll

was a model boy and very attentive In all re
ligious observances He always said that he
neither drank nor smoked Ho had no small

vice Among his medical school classmate
however he showed an entirely different char

actor He I was blasphemous nnd flippant In his
talk about tam en lie was coarse In his re

The 1 students say he was hypocritical and de
ceitful posing before his fellows as a gallant
and before his church friends as a saint One
morning not long ago he stood In front of the

story goesbecause he baa tireit of hts residence
In New Jersey and desires t become a citizen
of New York again Mr Gould took up his
residence In New Jersey because he considered
that the Tax Commissioners had been unjust In
assessing the personal property of his fathers
estate at 10000000 This assessment the Tax I
CommIssioners refused to scale down and Mr
Gould became a resident and voter In

was crr slim Tie BUN reporter was met nt
tho door by tim white wife of 1 Chinaman She
said a good crowd was expected The reporter
asked the names of the woman who was t take
tho part of bride and the man who was to take
the part of bridegroom
They dont wont their names printed she
said You must see this gentleman pointing
ton Chinaman
Tho question was asked of him Before ho
could answer It a young woman richly dressed
wearing diamond earrings ran up to him and
tapping him on the shoulder exclaimed No
name now dont you dare 1
Leave that to me said the Chinaman and
the whole party laughed mctrlly
The crowd began to arrive shortly after the
reporter got there First caino two very nice
looking young women escorted by two China
men In American clothes They took seats In
tho middle of the bal and chatted and
laughed Next came an elderly woman accompanied
companied by a younger one evidently
her daughter The omic woman linked
arms with a Chinaman Then came
some women unattended and some Chinamen
from Mot street Then two more fashionably
dressed and goodlooking young women with
Chinese escorts So it went for halt an hour
At the end of that time the room was twothirds
full Very many of the women had Chinese
escorts who made much of them and wore mado
much of
A Chinese band filed In and took seats tn the
front of tho bal The first piece on the pro
gramme was Chinese Instrumental music
The band played a quarter of an hour The
Chinamen enjoyed It Immensely It was a bit
strange to tho civilized ear After this I China
ceremony man announced the beginning of tho marriage
Four Chinamen In Chinese costumes went on
the platform There was 1 deal of bowing and
kneeling and one of the men tied a red ribbon
about the head of another aOl n red so h about
the waist and shoulders This was the tying
of the nuptial knot for the bridegroom The
four then stepped down before a Chinese altar
and r stppe Chinese Rod After this
came the bridal 1Ch 1 oroctsslon Hie men
disappeared nnd four white women dressed
and painted to resemble Chinese women came
out The central one of the party was the bride
She had a heavy red veil over her heed and
hanging down below her waist This party
bllllna
walked around and did a lot of bowing Then
the bride was led to the sedan chair which
stood at the loft of the platform She cnteiecl It
and the curtains were drawn
Eight or ten men came in then The bride
groom was one Two Chinese lanterns held on
sticks were placed in the hands of two white and
Chinese halfbreed children Ono of the meD
who took the part of the matchmaker lifted tho
front bandies of the sedan chair Two otherm
took the rear handle The men alt
women fell in behind and the children
with the lanterns lighted tho way across
the room the Chines band playing the
whilouweddlnor march When the chair was
net down to the for again the men in the party
and the bridegroom went up on the platform
and then there wan another season of bowing
Everybody bowed at everybody else The bride
groom kneeling bowed at all the others Then
one by one the others knelt and the bridegroom
bowed until his head touched the floor flfUeu
times to each
This occupied a great deal of time The audi
ence was greatly interested Every Chinaman
In I was busy explaining to his white com
panion exactly what it all meant When I was
over the bridegroom attended by six grooms
men went over to lea sedan chair ana opened
the doors The bride still covered with the c
veil was led out Four bridesmaids all white
women dresed in Chinese costume attended
her The women all bowed to the men and the
men to the women Then the women left the
room The director of the exhibition announced
that there was a supply of Chinese wedding
cake on sale at ten cents 1 piece and whllo
waiting for the return of the bride and her
party It would be passed around
Chinese wedding cake may be all right to eal
but It isnt pretty to look al It Is shaped and
looks like Park row butter cakes better known
as sinkers Despite that fact tho young
women in the audience were all anxious to pos
sess a piece of that cake and the Chinese es
cort were gallant enough to buy for them
Very nearly all the Chinamen who wore Ameri
can olothes purchased and presented the cake 1
their companions
The cake had nearly all been sold when the
bride and the bridesmaids cam bock Tho
bride had left her veil behind this time but she
still concealed ner face using a Chinese fan t
do It The first ceremony was in front
of the Chinese altar It was the presen
tation of the keys of the brides trunk
to the bridegroom This was followed
by the pouring of mock wine from a decanter
which stood on the altar Into chalices This
wile don by the groomsman and then the brIde
groom drank from one of the glasses and passed
it I to the bride Bin drank from the name glass
Title the programme explained was sjmboll
cnl of tying the nuptial knot and of union In
sharing their Iota In life after the manner of
the Jews
The bride went out again When sh camo
back she still carried tile fan but she no longer
concealed her face with it She looked a ro
fipvctabte and refined oung woman despite the
outlandish attire she wore The ceremony
ended with a world of bowing and that part of
the exhibition was over The whole wedding
party took seats at ono Bide of the platform
The evenings show ended with the exhibition
of two children Guild 7 years old respectively
Ono a the daughter of a Sunday school
teacher who had married 1 Chinaman and tho
other was said to be of tho same descent The

To United States ConsulOoncrnl Damon Williams
lams has been granted the customary sixty
days leave of absence from his post nt Havana
after application by letter to the Mate Depart

It Is asserted that If ConsulGeneral Wil

visit to tho United States his exequatur trill bo
refused to him Gen Campos tho new lov
crnorGencral of Cuba will not It Is asserted
receive him In an ofllclal capacity and Limit nc

ment
While the Canuvas Ministry In Spain have not
demanded Consulticncrnl llama recall the
fact IS known t them that such a request was
twice mad by the previous Mlnlntry within
thirty days before their dissolution An un
willingness I on thin part of the present Cabinet
to strain the relations I botweon I the two coun
tries Is sild to be the only reason why a similar
request has not been made by them Should Mr
Williams leave the country temporarily how
ever advantage will be taken of tho tact to
keep him out by declining to permit his return
S olllcial Information had reached Washing
ton at midnight that Maceo one of the Cuban
leader hail > eel captured It Is believed that
title will b his fate within a few days but the
absence of nuns confirming his capture lends to
the conclusion that the report to t that effect is
premtlre concusion Neltlur IK I It believed that the
number of troops engaged at tho battle uf Pal
marlto was as largo as reported On the con
trary there are sirune grounds for the statement
that they could not have exceeded 1 fuw hun
dred at the utmost inasmuch at despatches
received today from CaptainGeneral Cnlleja
mention merely the killing and wounding of
eleven of Maieos followers WIH accompanied
him to Cuba while nothing is said as Ui any
Spanish loss
Again It Is said the death of Crombct and the
capture of Mnceo will hat e no appreciable otlect
on the revolution as neither has been the mo
leg spirit In the affair The real brain of the
revolution Is Mid t bo Maximo iomez who it a
trained military man and who was conspicuous
for his soldierly qualities in the rebellion of

ItiNiiov April 10Thte There correspondent
In Shanghai says that M Hung Changs conln
law telegraphs thnt the treaty of peace was
signed In Shlmonosekl today April 11 and
that the terms are
First The Independence of Corcn
SecondJapans retention of the conquered
places
Third Japans retention of this territory east
of the Lino River
Fourth Permanent cession of Formosa
Fifth An Indemnity of 100000000
Sixth An offensive and defensive nlllance
between China and Japan
WASHINGTON April 10 Neither the Chinese
nor the Japanese legation has receltcd from
Shlmonosekl any confirmation of Japans al
leged twentyfour hours ultimatum nor has any
further news bearing upon tho Peace negotia
tions come to hand War news received by way
of Shanghai has proved almost uniformly I un
trustworthy It Is not doubted that t nntlsfnc
tory conclusion will be reached beforo the 0th
Intt when the armistice expires
Chinas reported delay In agreeing to the
conditions of pence seems the lore Inaxpllcnblo
in view of the fact thnt at the request of the
Chinese envoy the Japanese Government
materially modified some or iii propositions
Just what these modifications were is still a
state secret That thoy a well as the con
ditions ns 1 whole wore satisfactory to LI Hung
Chang Is not doubted l while It equally true
from official reports that LI Hung Chang secured
better terms than would have been given to him
but for tho assault made by the njsaslr
Koynma The best explanatIon of the delay Is
that the Pekln Foreign Office is postponing Us
approval the terms of peace agreed upon by
LI Hung Chans until the last moment in the
hopo that something may occur in the interim
to Chinas advantage
No credence i attached t the report which
reaches here from Mianghsl by way of London
that the Chinese Kmperor has Issued n procla
mation describing the Empire an ended and as
sertlng his Inability longer to govern It In
welllnformedVjIrcles thc report is ridiculed as
being too absurd to dignify with a denial It Is
asserted In the first place that the Chinese Em
could have In at and
pror no purpose abdicating Ind
in the second place tin Dowager Empress would
not permit him to retire if he desired The proc
lamation is believed here to be the work of
tho secret societies in the empire These socie
ties It Is said are hostile t the Government
their alms and purposes being not dissimilar to
those of Nihilists in Russia I the proclama
tion be their work It was l > probably written for
the purpose of adding to the confusion in tho
empire and to the embarrassment of tho reign
