BRUSH IN COLORADO.
An Enormous Increase in the
Population of the Silver
State. ..
People Rushing Into Denver
at the Rate of About -
1,000 an Hour.
At Least 50,000 Strangers
Believed to Be Already
in the City.
West - Bound Trains Pass
Through Chicago With
Tremendous Loads.
Denver, Aug. 7.— Today the Knights
began to arrive more extensively than
before. Colorado is filled with Knights
Templar. The mountains and the val
leys, the pleasure resorts, the famous
scenes, the growing camps are over
crowded, and the railroad beds leading
to Denver are groaning under their
weight. Tonight and tomorrow they
will be rushed into this city at the rate
of 1,000 an hour. There will be 50,000
arrive tonight and Monday. This is no
exaggeration. From every direction
the lailroads are pulling long
trains in this direction. If the
number is not more than 50.000
then the trains will not be as
crowded as those which have already
come in, and advices are that they are
only a starter. Others will find no
room. There are 50,000 transients in
the city already. Denver has under
gone a transformation within forty
eight hours such as has never occurred
in the history of the country. Such a
number would not affect New York or
Chicago to a large extent, but introduce
an addition of one-third its population
in such a short space of time and that
city would throw up its hands. Denver
is only beginning to exert itself in order
to take care of the throngs that will ar
rive in the next two days. The trans
formation did not come as a surprise,
ami while the
. Streets Are Crowded
In the main thoroughfares, there is no
uneasiness as to the care of the influx.
The scenes at and around the depot
were as varied, as pathetic, as amusing
and as vivid as at any time yet and
probably more so. lt was a little world
moved by an abnormal excitement all
to itself. All the night previous the
wailing rooms were filled with waiting
humanity. Some slept, but the majori
ty were on their feet every time an
engine whistle blew, expecting the ar
rival of the train that might bring a
relative, a lover or a friend. The sleep
ers were those who had stood the heat
and discomfort of a passage over
the prairies in an overcrowded
car and who trusted to the fabled
wealth of the wild and woolly West for
a home and food. Whatever cares or
thoughts they might have were drowned
in the sleep that came on them, Before
6 o'clock this morning the depot and its
approaches were all astir, • and every
thing was bustle. From all parts of the
city people came to this place to greet
the pilgrims, some of whom were needy
and sore. Seventeenth street was the
radius for the city and suburbs, for it
was Sunday and everybody was at
leisure. Then the ringing of the en
gine bells began, and it was a slow tin
tintabulation. Scenes at the depot were
Quaintly Picturesque.
Sir Knights in full dress and Sir
Knights in fatigue uniform marched up
and down the platform ready to escort
any pilgrim brethren that might arrive.
Their bright raiment and glittering
swords were partially covered by the
smoke that belched forth from half a
dozen fired switch engines standing at
the northern end for service. The sig
nals were changed and the the scene
changed also, as if with the same signal
box lantern waved in the arm, and arms
moved forth invitingly and the. trains
came pouring in, the knightly escort
came to attention and the reception
committee got ready. Outside the
gates the people pushed and crowded
each other, eager to go to
the iron railing through which
they earnestly gazed for the faces famil
iar to them. On the leviathan came,
snorting and sweating, with 300 people
behind eager to get in relief from the
overcrowded cars. Before they were
out another train had arrived, and so
they came as quick as they could be
released from the signal. The people
that came on these trains were of all
classes, but the majority had no sleep
er. There were lone women and little
children, young men and aged men.
The Sir Knights in uniform were now
coming in. The cares and anxieties
for the thoughtless had to give way.
Colorado commandery was early in at
tendance, and did loyal and
Splendid Service
throughout the entire twenty-four
hours. Sir S. A. Sheppherd was in
command of the escort in the space
between the east entrance ot the tent
and the archway on Eighteenth street.
The detachment was put through the
maneuvering to the music of the Cook
Zouaves drum corps. The announce
ment was called forth by the lookout
that a commandery was there. The
commander gave the command and the
escort was marched in double file to the
platform, lt marched up to where the
visiting commandery would alight ready
to receive. While the reception com
mittee was welcoming the guests
the escort was at attention.
When the incoming command
ery was formed the signal was
given, and both marched to the recep
tion quarters. There the strangers
were again received with courtly wel
come, and were handed over to the large
escort that preceded them to their head
quarters with a band of music leading
the way. The line of march was along
Eighth street, each side of which was
lined all day with people for roam
blocks. Towards night the approaches
to the depot became blocked for a long
distance around the various streets"
The square in front was jammed full of
people. Inside the immigrants were
pouring forth again just as fast as the
large force of trainmen could handle
the cars, and added to the human
stream that ran through the arteries of
the city. But twelve cities on the con
tinent have been honored by the assem
blage ot such a great body ot
Representative American*.
In population Denver is not yet as
large as any of the previous Meccas of
the monster pilgrimage, save, perhaps,
Washington, and yet in the magnifi
cence of the reception which is to he
tendered and in the accompanying vast
concourse of other citizens from all sec
tions, there is no question but that it
will surpass tiie record which has at
taciied to the credit of all the predeces
sors. Tomorrow, as today has been,
will be occupied solely in the ressption
ivi
of visitors. Today in Colorado Springs !
and at Manitou thousands of the vis
itors congregated, and when they reach
Denver tonight and tomorrow, it will
be with pleasant impressions which
are derived from the view- ■> of
nature's grandest handiworks and most
beautiful concerts. Divine services were
held at Colorado Sptiinrs this morning,
attended by Grand Master Cobin and
his escort. Bishop Leighton Coleman,
grand prelate of the grand encampt
meut, officiated in the afternoon serv
ices held in the Garden of the Gods.
On Tuesday morning the most mas
neticient pageant which ever passed
through the streets of any .Western 'city
will be observed in Denver. Over 30,
--000 Knights Templar will march as an
escort to the officers and members of
the grand encampment to the Masonic
Temple. Immediately upon the dis
missal of the parade the grand encamp
ment will commence its session in the
hall of the temple, which has been
beautifully decorated and converted
into an admirable asylum for the 300 or
more grand officers, grand commanders
and past grand commanders who con
stitute that body. Wednesday after
noon will occur the prize drill, under the
auspices of the chamber ot commerce,at
River Front park. Thursday forenoon
the exhibition drill, directed by the
Knights Templar themselves, will occur
at Overland park. The conclave is es
sentially a social event, however, and
the immense gathering from every state
in the Union, as well as from Canada,
really owes its popularity to the fact
that the Knights Templar get all the
fun out of it they can. All things are
auspicious for the splendid fulfillment
of every expectation connected with the
conclave. The weather promises to be
typical Colorado weather, as near per
fection as the world affords
"Beautifully Accurate.
The arrangements for rapid, careful
handling of incoming trains is as per
fect as ever seen in the history of rail
roading. Officials high in authority
state that never before was so large a
crowd of people so safely handled at
any gathering iv the United States. As
the thousands alighted at the union
depot, the past few days, over the five
trunk lines centering here, no friction
was created. Probably no other city of
Denver's size has better trackage
facilities. Within the city limits are
145 miles of track. As incoming trains
come to a stop, yard engines are hooked
on, car cleaners get on board, and away
the cars go as soon as the passengers
tumble off. ~f_a
The transportation committee is work
ins: without a hitch, aud the baggage
of the knights is transferred directly
from the cars onto the transfer wagons,
by which it is hurried to the different
hotels, very frequently reaching its des
tination in the city before the visitors
themselves.
The Special Trains.
The first special train to arrive today
was the New York battalion, consisting
of St. Omer's Commauderv No. 19, of
Elmira; Malta, No. 21. of Binghamton;

Fruit and Wine.
California Commandery No. 1 is the
oldest commandery in that state, and
the members of it say that of all the
conclave trips taken by it none of them
have had so great a representation and
furnished so much pleasure as the pres
ent one. The California men are well
prepared with fruit, wine, etc., of their
own state's production, and will keep

The majority of the special Knights
trains will arrive Monday at "an early
hour. They will aggregate some thirty
solid trains, bearing 450 Pullmans.

returned to their various stations and
thus a car famine is prevented. Rep
resentatives from all .of the thirteen
subordinate commanderies of Arkansas
will arrive Monday, accompanying the
grand commandery. Several passengers
and commanders are on the train.
Special Invitations
were extended to the visiting Knights
by all the churches in the city to attend
divine service. And although this was
availed of by many, the great majority
spent their time in viewing Denver and
its suburbs, ln fact, Sunday was
turned into a lively, bustling day, in
stead of the usual quiet which prevails
here. During the day the thousands of
visitors inspected the public buildings
in this city, and the chamber of com
merce received a great many visitors.
Mayor Rogers, attired in his Templar
uniform, was about all the various head
quarters, and he welcomed hundreds of
the Sir Knights. Colors of brightest
hue. Hashing in the. sun light, with the
elaborate decorations on the nig busi
ness blocks, were almost outrivaled by
those of the costumes of thousands of
fair visitors who thronged into
the city, and by the waving
plumes and glittering accoutrements of

cide in a Hotel at Flu
ranna, N. Y.
Jopi.in, Mo., Aug. 7.— George Ilud
son.the notorious robber and murderer,
of Granby, was shot and killed last
night in his saloon at that place while
resisting arrest. The authorities of
Colorado had obtained a requisition for
Hudson to remove him to that state for
trial on the charge of having murdered
and robbed an old man at Granite Pass.
William Rubelew, a desperate messen
ger from Colorado, was sent to arrest
Hudson. He, together with Carl Stout,
a deputy sheriff of this place, went to
Granby last night, attemped to make the
arrest. Hudson was unarmed, but he
grappled with Stout in order to ob
tain the latter's revolver. During the
struggle Rubelew shot and killed Hud
sou. "Hudson was one of the most noted
desperadoes of the state. He began his
career of crime when a mere boy, in his
native state, Mississippi, where he
killed a negro. He came direct to Gran
by, where he killed a German shoemak
er, and then fled to Granite Pass, Col.,
where he murdered and robbed an old
man of $1,700. lieturning to Granby. he
shot and killed a deaf mute, and after
wards killed N. O. Taylor and J. F.
Goodykouutz, while resisting arrest.
Later he killed Dr. L. G. Howard for
some reason unknown. It has never
been possible to secure a conviction in
any of his trials. Hudson had intimi
dated the residents of Granby and the
surrounding country.
FIGHT OX A RIVER.
Desperate Battle in the Middle of
the Ohio.
Louisville, Ky., Aug. 7.— the
middle of the Ohio river, near Paddis
Run, six miles below the city, a terrible
battle was fought this afternoon by
seven toughs, who were in two skiffs.
Ed Biel and Will and John Biel, his
cousins, were in one boat, and Jim So
regel, of New Albany, and three friends
in the other. The members of the two
boating parties had quarreled at a fish
fry, and when they met in midstream
they rowed for each other, and, the two
boats meeting, the occupants began to
beat each other over the head with oars.
Ed Biel was knocked overboard and
drowned, and the others were severely
injured. Soregel had a pistol, but it
would not go off. He has been arrested.
CLUBS, BRICKS, STONES.
The Missies Used by Jersey Ne
groes and Italians.
Orange. N. J., Aug. 7.— race war
between negroes and Italians broke out
here tonight and one man was severely
stabbed and twenty others injured with
clubs, brick bats and stones. The
trouble arose through a dispute
between a negro and an Italian.
The men began to fight in
Frank Matta's saloon, and on being put
out continued to fight on the street.
'1 he negro was beaten and his friends
came to his rescue and the Italians
started in to help their countrymen.
The row occurred on South street, which
is about a mile long, and about half the
houses are occupied by Italians and the
rest by negroes. About 000 men
and women were engaged and a
brisk fight took place. Stones,
bricks and other missies flew
thick, and before the police reserves
arrived twenty persons had been se
verely injured. The police for some
time could make no impression on the
crowd. When the combatants were
finally separated they quickly dispersed
and no arrests were made. Daniel
Tucker, one of the negroes, was found
with a bad stab wound in the neck, and
medical attendance had to be sum
moned. A force of police is now guard
ing the street and endeavoring to pre
vent a recurrence of the trouble.
DEATH TO A PAIR.
Frightful Affair in a Hotel at
Fluvanna.
Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 7.— A terri
ble murder and suicide was enacted this
evening in the hotel at Fluvanna, three
miles above this city, on the lake.
Patsy Dowd, of Dunkirk, was out driv
ing with a coupleof disreputable women
from this city, lt seems they had some
words, and Dowd hit one of the
women in the mouth, drawing blood.
This occurred a short distance above
Fluvanna. They drove to the hotel, and
all entered. A young man named
George Bass and some companions were
there, and, as one of the women, Nina
Fahey, had blood on her face, Hass
asked her what was the matter. She
told him Dowd had hit her in the face.
Dowd and the women then entered the
parlor and closed the doors. Hass and
his companions said they would fix
Dowd, so they pushed open the door
Dowd drew a revolver, and Hass and
his companions threw beer bottles at
him. He fired, and Hass fell dead with
a bullet in his heart. Dowd then left
the hotel, and the police from here
were sent for. Dowd returned in a few
minutes, and, seeing what he had done,
turned the revolver upon himself, firing
four shots into his body. He died in a
few minutes.
A SWINDLING SCHEME
Which Failed to Work on a Mont
real Bank.
New Haven, Conn., Aug. 7.—Attor
ney Goodhart, of this city, has just un
earthed a swindling scheme of gigantic
proportions. M. Paullet, a retired bus
iness man of Montreal, received by Cu
ban mail about June 1 a well-written
letter in French] It bore a Havana
postmark and stated that the author.
El Koy Basaraantre, had been charged
with an important financial negotiation
in London in ISSI, but had been obliged
to leave his trunk with a false panel, in
which was 300.000 in drafts upon
the Bank ot England, in the en
virons of Montreal. M. Paulet was
requested to Interest himself in the case
to secure the trunk and drafts. Ho was
ST. PAUL, MINN., MONDAY" MORNING, AUGUST 8, 1892.
favorably impressed and replied that he
would gladly help the Cuban. He re
ceived a reply that through sickness he
had been deprived temporarily of bis
memory in Montreal, and can give no
accurate description of where the trunk'
is. He said that after leaving Montreal:
he had been kept prisoner in Cuba for
seven years iv default of a fine of 82,650
for political offenses. He needed just
that sum to obtain his freedom.
Accompanying his letter was an offi
cial document containing a record of his
crime. Paulet sent his daughter to this
city to consult Attorney Goodhart in
relation to the matter, and if advisable ,
to go at once and procure the prisoner's
release at almost any cost. Mr. Good
hart has conferred with Inspector.
Byrnes and other leading detectives in
this country and Cuba about the matter,
who unite in pronouncing it a fraud.
Miss Paulet was loath to believe it such,
and abandoned further investigation of
the matter with great reluctance. A
third letter from the Cuban confirms
Mr. Goodhart's suspicions. The epistle,
states that a stay and extension of the
proceedings for thirty days has been
obtained by great effort. •
The letters clearly show that the men
behind the swindle were persons of in-'
telligence and diplomacy, though the
fraud is manifest. Havana authorities
will be placed in possession of the facts
and asked to communicate further with
Mr. Goodhart.
THE BORDEN MYSTERY.
Massachusetts Police Unable to.
Clear It Up.
Fall River, Mass., Aug. 7.— ln look
ing over the Borden mansion for a pos
sible clue to the double murder, one
place was left unsearch«*d yesterday by
the police, but tonight the officers said
there was not the slightest danger of
any change in the surroundings by leav
ing tbe matter over. Tonight or to
morrow this particular spot will be
searched. Today City Marshal Hilliard
submitted to a long interview with the.
Associated Press reporter. Of the spots
of blood said to have been found on an
ax in the custody of the police last night
he said :
"1 don't know whether these spots
were blood or iron rust. They were of
a character that might be taken for
either, but until the Boston chemists
pass an opinion it would be folly for me
to speak. We have four axes in our
possession. Two are such axes as farm
ers use,one is an ordinary chopping axe,
and the other is what I call a shingle
axe. There may be spots of blood on
either or all of these, but tonight 1 can- =
not say there is the slightest evidences
on any of them. There is nothing in the;
Westport clue. 1 sent a man to chase
it down to prove it to my;
self, but after every doubtful point
had . been cleared up 1 decided'
there . was ..no"' man traveling to New
Bedford from this city under suspicious,
circumstances. At this moment I can
say: there is nothing to connect any;
members of the family with the murder.
We can reach a certain point, but from;
thence forward things will not match,,
and we cannot make them. If you ask
me if 1 have anything really new in this
whole case I would say so; but, of
course, you know I have a great many
tilings in baud. Anything may happen
at any moment."
. The police guard has been kent up
around the house all day and crowds of
visitors have swarmed about the local

TWO WIVES FIVE YEARS.
A Smooth Bigamist Is Finally Run
to Earth.
New York, Aug. 7.— The Herald
says: One more double marriage has
proved a failure. George Ketcham, an
employe of the Old Colony Steamboat
company, which operates the Fall
River line, has fled from New York a
defaulter and bigamist, leaving behind
two homes at opposite ends of Brook
lyn, and two weeping women, each
with a marriage certificate. ' Although
Ketcham has been a double husband
for nearly five years, neither of the
wives knew of the existence of the ,
other until last Friday. He married*
wife No. 2 in St. Louis. She was a Mrs.
Annie Berriate. He explained his ab
sence from his home by bogus tele
grams and stories of late work at the
steamship pier.
SET HIS BED ON FIRE
And Then Deliberately Cut His
Throat.
Philadelphia, Aug. 7.— For the
third time iv the past four months a
tragedy has occurred at the Eastern
penitentiary. Overwhelmed with the
thought of the cheerless future
before him, James R. Rodan, known
in prison as "A 6.074" com
mitted suicide yesterday afternoon
in the most tragic manner. He set fire
to the mattress and bedding, and, sit
ting down deliberately in the midst of
the flames, drew the keen-edged knife
across his throat. The cries of the des
perate man attracted the attention of
his keeper, but before the latter could
reach him he had sustained such seri
ous injuries that he died in the prison
hospital in a few hours.
Riot at a Meeting.
Petersburg, Ind., Aug. 7.— A very
bloody battle occurred at Winslow, this ;
county, yesterday. A large crowd was
in attendance at a Democratic mass
meeting when a coal miner named
Barnes assaulted a young lady. The
sheriff attempted his arrest, when the
former was set upon by the miner's
friends, and a general riot followed:
Two brothers named Stinson were hor
ribly cut and slashed, and will probably
die. Young Reed, brother to the young
lady, was attacked by the miner. He
was assisting the sheriff and is danger
ously injured. Several others were
wounded. A man named McKinneyis
said to have cut the Stinsons so hor
ribly, but he escaped. '

ABE FROM MINNESOTA
Two of the Men Implicated
in the Train Robbery
in California.
They Are the Sontag Broth
ers and Hail From Man
kato, Minnesota.
The One Captnred Says He
Had Nothing to Do With
the Robbery.
Lightning Strikes an Ele
vator, Which is Burned
With Its Contents.
. Visalia, Cal., Aug. 7.— The man
known as George Sontag, who was ar
rested here Friday for complicity in the
train robbery, says: "My name is
George C. Constant, and my stepfather's
name was Sontag, and my brother John
also bore that name. I. however, have
invariably registered myself as Con
stant. My home is at Mankato, Minn.,
where 1. my wife and children are.
Last year 1 came to California and re
turned to Minnesota this year. I left
Mankato July 8. I came out to
work some mining property with
my brother, Clark Moore and
Chris Evans, though I have been
a railroad man and a frescoer and deco
rater by trade. I cam down from the
mine at Duulap last Monday morning
and rode a horse into Visalia. Tuesday
I went to Fresno and returned on the
morning train that was robbed above
Fresno. I was at Fresno waiting for
that train to come in. When in Fresno I
stopped at the corner of I and Mariposa
streets. I took my meals at the Opera
restaurant. A mine up on Samson flat
was lumped by Chris Evans, and I went
up there to see if it was all right.
Chris said assessment work bad not
been done on it. I '
Told a Detective
who questioned me everything I know.
I said I had a 44-caliber revolver, but no
other arms. 1 never had any other.
When I came down from the mine there
were two men with me. One was named
Y"oung, I think. He has a ranch up on
' the mountain.. The other was a young
fellow who works up there. The morn
ing I got here after the robbery my
I I brother drove Mr. Evans in from the
j : mine. They reached Evans' house
!at 8 or 9 o'clock. The night I
i spent in Fresno betore the robbery
j -I: roomed with a. chap 1 met 7in
I the Park theater. He se^i^dT^tq^bg;
an American, and said --he was anoint
shak.' a man who hauls" to the
depot. I don't think my brother has
been to Fresno since Sunday, when he
brought my trunk down from there. If
they find me guilty of train robbery,
they can hang me up." . 7.
'At the coroner's inquest today on the
i body of Oscar Beaver, killed by the
train robbers Friday night at Chris
Evans' house, Harry Ward, who lives
I twelve miles north of this city, and who
furnished the robbers a cart and mule,
testified that Chris Evans and John
Sontag came to his house Saturday
morning between 5 and 6 o'clock and
Demanded Breakfast
and a team, offering to pay for the same.
; The men were armed with shotguns
and six-shooters. Evans said he shot a
man in Visalia. He was backing a buggy
out of a barn when a voice said, "Who's
this'?" and he shot in that direction.
■ Evans said he never saw bullets fly as
thick as they did then. The fellow who
called out was a gritty little devil, and
returned the shot. Evans told Ward how
Detectives Smith and Willey tried to
' arrest him Friday noon oil suspicion of
'being a train robber, and that he was
trying to arrest him in his own house.
'Evans said he was innocent of any
crime. He was anxious to know who
he had killed Friday night. After the
shooting Evans and Sontag left town,
seeing no officers in the road, though
expecting to run into them every min
ute. The robbers stayed at Ward's
place about two hours and then left,

DENOUNCES NIHILISTS.
Julius Harbourger Takes a Stand
for Law and Order.
New York, Aug. 7.— Julius Harbour
ger, grandmaster of the Independent
Order Free Sons of Israel, addressing a
meeting of the order here today, said
among other things:
"In ISBO, when the religious crusades
in Roumania and imperial Russia took
place against the Hebrews, emigration
numbering thousands set in towards
American shores. With the yearly in
crease, numbers of anarchists and nihi
lists, made so through a brutal govern
ment, came over with these unfortu
nates and preached their damnable and
pernicious doctrines.
"They had forgotten the essence of
the teachings of their fathers, that Ju
daism is a religion of law and order.
The dastardly and cowardly attempt of
a Russian Nihilist dynamiter and anar
chist upon the life of the manager of
the Carnegie works at Homestead has
shown the effect of the pernicious doc
trines that have been inculcated iv the
minds of many of these aliens who land
on our shores without the first concep
tion of the duties of an American citi
zen and the liberty afforded to every in
dividual under our form of government.
"I am in favor of rigidly enforcing
the return of all aliens who are known
as Nihilists, dynamiters and anarchists.
Our flag is broad enough to embrace
men of all creeds, colors and nationali
ties, but when they come here with
torch and sword we have no room for
them. As we guard ourselves against
cholera and disease, so we should ward
off the approach of moral contagion or
political disease."
TONS OF LITERATURE
Will Go Out From Washington in
the Next Three Months.
Washington, Aug. 7.— During the
next three months the headquarters of
the congressional campaign committees
in this city will be in constant touch
with movements of both parties in
every congressional district in the coun
try. A feeling of uncertainty as to the
outcome will make hard work neces
sary, and the hurry with which senators
and members have already left the city
to participate in the campaign prac
tically indicates that there will
be no lack of shoulders to carry
the burden. In many of the dis
tricts the campaign has already be
gun. Both of the congressional com
mittees are pleasantly located, the Re
publicans in the old Snider Civil Serv
ice club house and the Democrats in the
'Loan and Trust building. These, head
quarters will be the shipping places of
tons and tons of campaign literature. A
Democratic campaign book has already
made its appearance. It is a compact
little volume of sixty- four pages, with a
cover illuminated in red, white and
blue, and with a defiant eagle, a brill
iant flag and a hundred small repre
sentations of a ship of the new navy
conspicuous upon it. lt is mainly de
voted to the tariff, but the federal elec
tion bill and the alleged influence of
officeholders at the Minneapolis con
vention are mentioned. The compila
tion of the volume, which is merely a
Democratic primer to precede the large
campaign book, is mainly the work of
Representative Bynum. .

Mr. Cleveland.

Cleveland's success, he said:
"1 think the chances are in favor of
the Democratic party, but there are a
great many considerations to be taken
into account.'.' \ "

stump himself, he said:
• "1 nave not yet decided, but shall
probably be heard from later."

THE REED AFFAIR.
Detective Mcßride Claims the
$500 Reward.
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 7.— The charred
remains of Martin Peed, the escaped'
murderer, who, after he had been run
to earth, killed Deputy Sheriff Coyle,
seriously wounded Chief of Police Orr,'
and then suicided when his pursuers
set fire to the building in which he was
secreted, were brought to this city this
morning, where they were viewed by
the coroner. It was found that he had'
shot himself through the heart, in
stead of in the head, as believed
last night. Detectives Mcßride and
Williamson, who took part in the hunt,
were positive that they recognized Keed
before the shooting, and Chief Orr also
identified him. Upon this evidence the
coroner issued a burial certificate, and
the remains were then taken back to
Washington, where they were turned
over to the sheriff. Detective Mcßride
will claim the 6500 reward, but says he
will turn over $200 to Orr and William
son. It is thought that Williamson will
give his portion to his sister, Mrs. Coyle,
the widow of Deputy Sheriff Coyle, who
was killed by Keed. The wound re
ceived by Chief of Police Orr is not dan
gerous, and he will be on duty in a few
days.

CAULS IT PERSECUTION.
The Charge That Mrs. Virginia
Smith Is a Baby Farmer.
Rochester, N. V., Aug. 7.— Mrs. Isa
belle Beecher Hooker, of Hartford,
Conn., at present visiting Mrs. Susan
B. Anthony in this city, is exceedingly
indignant at the published report of
First Selectman Fowler, of Hartford,
which brands Mrs. Virginia Smith, city
missionary of the Hartford mission, as
a baby farmer. Mrs. Hooker said today:
"The simple truth is that Mrs. Virginia
Thrall Smith, as one of the members of
the state board of charities, obtained an
act from the legislature which required
that the infants born or cared for in our
poorhouses should hereafter be taken "
to county homes and maintained there
till old enough to be adopted into fam
ilies. This excited the anger of certain
selectmen, whose imperfect discharge
of the duties of their office had been ex
posed by Mrs. Smith, ; and a series of
persecutions have been the result, of
which these false charges are the latest
manifestation." .777-
