DOUBLE MURDER EVIDENT.
A Bailnei Man of Some Standing Found
to He Leading a Quadruple Life
One of Hl Mistresses in a
Fit of Jealouny De
nounces film as a
Murderer.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 10. As time
passes the mystery grows and interest
increases in the cases of Mrs. Emma
Austin and Mrs. Eugenia Sherrill,
found dead in their room a week ao.
Then it was thought to be an ordinary
case of suicide of two fallen women
one without shame, the other a dis
graced wife. It is now declared to be a
double murder, with mystery enough
for a Dumas and scandal enoug-h to sat
isfy a Sardou.
Wicked Paris could not stir up a more
sensational cr mysterious story than
that developed in the last few hours.
To make it complete it is necessary to
review the case.
Last Saturday morning Mrs. Emma
Austin, keeper of an immoral resort,
was found dying in her room on Second
street, near Market, in this city. In
another room in the same house Mrs.
Eugenie Sherrill, the respected wife of
younjr business man, was found dead.
uicide by poison was the first theory.
As days went b- hints about murder
were set ailoat, ami then tne coroner
received an anonymous letter telling
im to summon certain persons as wit
nesses and compel them to tell all they
knew. The persons named in the letter
are Vincent Spaninger, Josephine Cole,
once Ofheer Ieeney and Emma Koch,
daughter of Mrs. Austin.
A quiet investigation was set on foot
and astounding facts have Wen brought
out. It has been developed that Span-
nger, who is a business man of some
stunning; and who hus a wife and
hildren and who is looked on as a
model husband by his neighbors, has
been living not a double, but a quad
ruple life. He occupied the position of
usband to four women besides his law-
ul wife. These women were Mrs. Aus
in, her daughter, Mrs. Emma Koch,
and Mrs. Cole and her daughter, Carrie
Cole. The women lived in
ifferent parts of the city, and
Mrs. Austin, who had been the
man's mistress twenty years, was the
only one of the four who knew positive
ly of the relations that existed Wtween
Spaninger and the others. Mrs. Koch
had suspicions that Spaninger was crim-
nally intimate with her mother, and
the daughter and mother quarreled
about this. Mrs. Cole, a jealous wom
an, repeatedly quarreled with Span
inger. The peculiar relations of Span
inger to these women and the jealousy
of Mrs. Cole furnished a slight clew to
the detectives, and they have been at
work on the ease. Spaninger and Mrs.
Cole have Wen arrested, and the woman
has confessed that she wrote the anony
mous letter to the coroner. She says
that Spaninger told her on more than
one occasion that he intended to get rid
of Mrs. Austin, and on the day of the
tragedy he was at her house and told
her in an excited manner to say noth
ing. Spaninger denies that he knows any
thing of the poisoning, and asserts that
Mrs. Cole is actuated by jealousy. It
has not been established that he was
about Mrs. Austin's house on the day
of the tragedy, but he was there on the
night Wfore. The poisou, according to
theory, was administered through the
batter cakes which Mrs. Austin pre
pared for breakfast, spaninger, it is
asserted by a neighbor, left Mrs
Austin's early the night before the kill
ing, and as he was going away said lu
would W back for breakfast, and asked
the woman to have hot cakes for him.
He did not go back, however. So far
the circumstantial evidence against
Spaninger is strong, but there is a break
and another clew.
Mrs. Emma Koch, the daughter of
Mrs. Austin, who, as stated above, had
quarreled with her mother over the di
vision of Spaninger's affections, visited
the house early on the day of the trage
dy, and was on hand when her mother
died. The moment the woman breathed
her last Mrs. Koch Wgan clearing up
the breakfast things. She took partic
ular pains to get rid of the scraps of the
batter cakes and the batter left on the
dishes. Why did she do this? is the
question those working on the case are
askinsr.
Mrs. Sherrill was an innocent victim
of either a black-hearted man, who
wanted to get rid of an old mistress, or
of a revengeful woman. 2so one knew
that she would take breakfast with
Mrs. Austin.
Carrie Cole, the fourth mistress of
this modern Don Juan, is a young and
handsome girl, who has gone to the bad
merely because her mother set the ex
ample. When the mother and Span
inger were arrested she drove to the
jail in her carriage to see them. At the
examining trial to-day these two were
admitted to bail in 5,000 each.
Mrs. Koch is "being watched by the
police.

TLe census office to-day issued a
b tlletin giving the 6tatit-tic8 of tLe
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
for 1890. It was juepaied by Hen
ry L. Carrol, LL. D., a special agent.
It speaks of the break iu the Meth
odist Episcopal church in 1844, a
lifjVrence iu regard to the subject
of slavery being the cause of sepa
ration. Dr. Carrol's bulletin says:
"The somewhat indefinite line of
1: vision between the north an I the
south agreed upon in the plat: of
separation was not adhered to by
both rides. Duiiur the late war the
H'lthern church followed the north
ern armies into the south and alter
the restoration of peace gradually
fstablished churches a'l over the
south. The southern church has
not extended itself far to the north -ward,
except on the Pacific coasts
where it has conferences including,
besides California, the states of Ore
gon. Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana. It also has cotereations in
Indiai, a and Illinois The returns
show that the church has 42 annual
conferences in this country and three
iu a.ission fields abroad, with 1,"20D,
i7C members and 15,017 organiza
tions. These organizations have in
all 12,087 church edifices, which
with their conttnts and the lots on
which they stand, are valued at $18,-
i i,obZ. it n a lact worthy oi note
that of the more than 200,000 color
ed members reported by this church
in 1840 but few remain in connec
tion with it. Thousauds at the close
of the war joined the other metho
dist bodies and in 1870 the church
set off most of those it then had in
ti a separate organization known as
the Colored Methodist Episcopa
church, the returns of which are yet
to ba presented.
"The Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, is strongest in Texas, where
it nas ld'd.dl members; tiecrgia is
second with 134,600; Tennessee
third with 121.398; North Carolina
f jurth, with 114,385; Alabama fifth,

"Three cheers for Warner, the

1 more republicans waiting to take the
evening train to the suburbs at the

ladies' waiting room from aud in

"Hurray fer Major Warner:"' yell
ed a coVred bhoeblaek who hod

The whole 1'iiujr followed the 'Ma

aud the republican enthusiasts were
on the tiui vlw te have their leader

But Bill walked straight ahead
with a dignifi- d disregard to th
cheers. Finally one more euthusias
tic thin the others walked up to the

square shoulder said:

New York, Sept. It;. The cabin pas
sengers of the Normannia scorned to be
specially singled out by fate for mis
fortunes and it is safe to say that, if
they ever succeed in landiug iu safety
n this city, they will think many times
Wfore they again undertake trips to
Europe.
This morning the passengers who had
been held as prisoners of the board of
ealth at quarantine since the morning
of September 8, and who had Wen buf-
eted about by unkind fate since theu
on the vessel and at Fire island, were
wakened at daybreak to prepare for
their last joyous voyage to dry land and
ibertv. The early hours were the most
elightful they had spent in three
weeks, anil at h o clock about 400 of
them embarked on the steamer Oepheus
bound for the city, each one armed with
clean bill of health.
The vessel hai one only a few hun
dred yards ere there was a crrindinc.
grating sound. The next moment the

ain. The vessel was hard aground in
he shallows and the passengers were
veil farther away from home than te-
fore they started, for the tide was out
and thev are compelled to await the
Hood for release from the sandbar.
About 100 passengers of the Norman
nia refused to go on the Cepheus, pre-
erring to go over to Uabylon and take
rain for the city. They left Fire
sland on board the Ktt Kipple at U:l?
'clock for ISabylon under military es-
ort and there took a train on the Long
Island road for New York.
1'wo steerage passengers from the
Moravia have been found in this place
Mrs. Marx llenkelinan and Mrs.
'aulina .lanowski, the wives of two
Russian Hebrews who have lived in
this place several years. The local
health Inuird investigated the case and
learned that the two women arrived
here by the way of the steamer Shelter
Island. September C. The husbands
aid their wives arrived in New York
on the -Moravia from Hamburg. 1 he
women brought with them several chil
dren and considerable baggage. They
came direct from Russia.
Hie house in which these people live
is m a thickly settled part of the vil

strict quarantine until the cases can be
more fully investigated. District At
torney Reeves said there could 1m- no
mistake about the name of the ship by
which these people had arrived, as he
himself had carefully questioned the
women's husbands on this point, and
they were sure it was the Moravia.

celebrated goats' hair ease. The decis
ion is of vast importance, involving1
many millions of dollars and affecting

of the circuit court, who tieciueu in
favor of L. C. Chase & Co., the firm that
brought the test case, and against the
board of general appraisers and Col

omcial assessed a duty 01 V cents a

that he was authorized to assess the
