THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1890. A SiV ANT'S CRIME Reminiscences of Ruloff, the "Learned Murderer." A Modern Kiigreue Aram A Lone Life of Crime Vrlcl in Term ol Imprison ment Loci". Sentence ol Death, Union Write- a Work on riillology. MAN whose career I us been likened to Kugeae Aram's, Edward H Ruloff, was banged at h i up hamton, N. Y . on the Ititu of May, 1871. Dip ram wan on of note In many way. He bad murdered bis wlfa and child and t w o of hit wife', relatirea In Tompkins county, N. Y., more than twenty year, before, and bad been srntnl to be hanged, but had escaped, and for half a lifetime led the life of a skulWn criminal. Finally, after numer ous desperate ciiiiee, lie committed a murder that drew In tn int. the meshes of tbe law in Broome county, adjoining the county where he had cmmi".' 1 Lis first known murder, and, by a singular circumstance, was Identi fled by a ju'Ilto who had seen him at the bar in Ithaca BaTBg laforo This identification placed bim under grove suspicion, and be wan guarded and watched until evidence could be secured to punish him. The crime for winch Ruloff was banged sas the uiurdnr f F A. Mu ick, a clerk in Ibe dry goods store of D. M. ft E. O. Hal lock, of Hinghamton. The store was enter eU one night in August, IsTII, by three men, and aUrick and a companion clerk attackcxl them. The burglars were Intoxicated and tbe clerks were getting the better of thorn, when one burglar drew a pistol and shot Mir Ink deud. Then the three left the store with out plunder, ami attempted toescape in a row boat ou the Chenango river that ran near the) tor. Two bodies were afterward found in the river that proved to be those of well known New York burglars, Albert Jarvls and William T. Dexter. Tbe surviving clerk fare the alarm, and pickets were at once thrown annnid the town. Tho watch was kept up for two days and nights, and on the second night a man was seen leaving the town along tho Erie railroad track towards New York. He could give oo satisfactory account of himself and was taken before the coroner's Jnry. Be claimed to be innocent, and explained hts situa tion by m ing thut he had been pnt off from an Erie train at a place west of Buighmmton and was "ins: to New York, where ho lived. While he was under examination Judge Bal eom, of tli' supreme court, happened to look In and be recognised Ruloff and accused him to his face of Ins old Crimea. However, as bars was no evidence to bold bim on the new cane M was permitted to leave the jury room. In a short time Judge Bulcom's dis covery was current gossip on the street, and an old resident of the county, A. C. Math ews, secured a buggy and some assistance and started to bunt bim up. He was overtaken five miles from town going toward New York. He bad made the dutaiic in less than one hour. The escaped burglars had in their flight left behind a shoe made for a deformed foot. and tbe fugitivo was compelled to exhibit his foot, which proved to be deformed in the ex act place indicated by the shoe. On Ibis clew be was taken hack and placed in Jail. Several very straight clews were found associating Ruloff with tbe men who had been drowned from tbe boat In tho Chenango and again connecting these men with the burglary and murder The surviving clerk. Burrows, was able to identify the statures of tbe three men. and Ruloff answered to his description of one of them, and that, too, as tbe one who fired the fatal sh 4 Ruloff was soon indicted, and It Was found that he bad a criminal record in New York city and was tbe associate and counsel of laiesraa and burglars. He was tried and sentenced, but proem red a stay of pro eedings and passed several months in Jaii under sentence of death. m y nrLOFr nt hts cell. During the trial In Blnghamton KulufTs strange history was brought to light, aud u most remarkable one it proved to be. He was born in the province of New Brunswick, and in early life was a student and a reader. He studied pharmacy for a tun and then look up law. He became a master of crim inal law and meantime practiced criminal acta himself, with such results as to be con fined in the peultentiarv for two yean. After aSTTing bis time he made his way to Tomp kins county, N Y.. before the days of rail roads At first he was a cannier, and finally returned to pharmacy and taught school. All of his work was creditably done. He married one of bts pupils much against the wishes of her relatives, and after nmrnago began la abuse her. Finally he removed to tbe village of Lansing, near Itliacn. and here be practiced medicine Iu a short time two of his patient died In convulsions. They were the wife and child of his wife's cousin, and there win suspicions of poison In tbe minds of the relntives of the deceased. One morning the so called doctor liorrowed a wag on from a neighbor to remove a heavy box from Ins home to a place some distance off. Tbe neigh Ixirs helped load the box. Ruloff drove awny and was gone two davs, and re turned with an empty box. Mean while his wife and child had dis appeared. When questioned the husband and father invented several trivial stories about bis family's absence and offered to con duct her relatives to their abiding place. Fi-neJIyaeommift-t.cRll'd him to account, gave bim Uiuu. and be fled the country 8ut quirri h- Imni down dud tried for the abdii'-tii ii of his wife and child. Hespent ten years In Auburn prison, where he be came a noted baak worm, and on the expira tion of ins sentence of ten years, which was in 11.V1. U" returned to Ithaca. He was ar rested and placed on trial for murder, and wan found -u.im and sentenced to be hanged. He succeeded in escaping Jail, and was u fugi tive for Chi u- years, when be voluntarily sur rendered himself , secured a new trial and was acquitted. Now the bodies of the kinsfolk of bis wife were exhumed aud analyzed, and liuloff disappeared. From the last disappearance, in I WW, to 1170, Ruloff seems to have spout much time in New York, lie was much of a student and he Inspired tb.sM about btn with aa idea of hu ability and learning. His pur poses of robbery were to live on the plunder and coutinue bis studies. Ou the appeal of bis case for the murder of tbe clerk, Mm-k, Ruloff addressed the court aud described the midnight melee iu the store. He churned that owe of the dead bur glars had fired the fatal shot and had done it in self defense when his own life was in dan ger, hence It was not murder and he (Ruloff) was not an accessory to a murder. While In Jail at Biughauitou the prisoner talked a great deal about a theory of lan guages, and claimed to be possessed of a key showing languages to be related and trace able to a single source. Before bis execution he sent a manuscript to Professor Taylor Lewis, setting forth what he claimed to be wonderful philological discoveries, but his work was pronounced by experts to be valne- a. aa a? a i 1 t-aatwcv-ai JOSLIN .

It being the 32d birthday of F. E. Crompton, Jr., on Friday last, nine cou pie gave him a genuine surprise on tbe evening of that day. 0. W. Crompton returns from his wes tern marriage tour on Thursday morning, tbe 18ih of Feb. He has been visiting in both Audubon and Sac counties. I am creditably informed that J. S. Clarkson, after he has turned out all of tbe democratic postmasters, is to become editor of the Chicago Timet, which is to become aa anli-probibition republican paper. Said an old republican the other day to a young republican: "I am getting tired of the cry of tariff: it is becoming eo lirelv too skew." But the conundrum seems to be, what will the republican party do for a campaign cry? Will the "bloody shirt" have to stand alone? If politicians would not lie.

How thankful we should be! Having always been independent in thoughts mvself, I have contended that no person should be so prejudiced as not to be willing to read both sides of all political questions. However, I now feel as if forbearance bad ceased to be a virtue, and that farmers should shut down on all papers that defend a "high protective war tariff." Tbe remarks that Senator Sherman made in the senate with regard to the tariff on wool, and bis saying that Presi dent Harrison's s ggestions with regard to removing the duty from tobacco and alcohol were entirely too thin in fact, so thin that "everybody could see through them" raised him fifty per cent in my es timation.

Hoey's great successful comedy "Keep It Dark," is to be presented at Harper's theatre tonight. Read what the Chicago Journal says about it and then go and enjoy it: 1 Keep it Dark," George Hoty's musi cal comedy, received its first production on tbe south side last evening at the Peo ple's theatre. It is different from the Hoyt class of pieces, being more of a comedy with a semblance to a plot. There are some bright and telling lines in It. and the action is brisk and the fun bristling and clean. W. T Bryant, eccentric comedian, as the inventor of a liver pad. was well received, as was also Lizzie Richmond as a thoroughly Ameri can actress. J. J. Quintan was very good as an ex-magician, and Blanch Sher wood, a bright little souhrette, won favor for her acting, singing and dancing. On Friday evening Miss Kate Castle ton is to appeal in "A Paper Doll." Tbe comedy is much better than most of the light pieces presented of late for the amusement of the tbeatre-going pub lic, and in tbe hands of Miss Kate Castle ton end an exceptionally good company, is made especially pleasing. There is enough plot tn "A Paper Doll" to hold the interest of the audience throughout the play, and it is so arranged as to give Miss Castleton full opportunity for tbe display or her versatile tnlcnt She is pretty and artistic, and becomes a popu lar favorite from the start. Syracuse Journal Mr. Olaaiek'a Crura Deala. The Chicago Herald has tbe following concerning Mr. O. .1. Dimick's Chicago real estate transactions. A large sale of real estate is reported to be under contract, tbe amount of tbe deal being $225,000. The property dis posed of is a lot owned by O..I. Dimick.of Kock Island, on the northeast corner of Fourth avenue and Van Buren street, runniog east on Van Buren street to Dearborn, and having a fifty foot front age on Van Baron, twenty-five on Dear born, and 125 on Fourth avenue. This makes an L shaped lot, and is in a local ity fast becoming extremely valuable Mr. Dimick has been for a long time anxious to sell this property, but put his figures so high that buyers have until lately been scared off. The price, 225.- 000, is considered cheap, considering the rapid advance of realty values in that locality. Tbe name of tbe purchaser is not known, hut it is said to he an eastern party . A. B. Mead, of Mead & Co , had the property in his hands. Modern WosMtmea Affairs. Dr. McKinnie is in Moline today, and makes the following statement in regard to the injunction esse, a psrt of which has been heretofore no .iced. On Wednesday Attorneys Ireland and Bard, in behalf of J. C. Root, made an application to Judge Cartwiight. at Dix on, for a dissolution of the injunction granted McKinnie in behalf of himself, and to which tbe stale is a party. Mc Kinnie s attorney was sick, but the state was represented by Attorney Bardwell and Judge Fairand, of Dixon, and the motion was denied. Yesterday Hoot's attorneys made a second attempt before Judge Brown, at Morrison, Judge Fairand appeared for Mch.innie and States Atttorney Steiger The million was again refused, and the case continued until next Monday, when It is hoped that Attorney General Hunt will be present Moline Republican The Parker Eatate. Tbe two sets of heirs of tbe late Wm. Parker, of Canoe Creek, have arrived at an amicable understanding. There are eight children by his first wife in Han cock county, to whom the will allotted 1 125 to each, everything remaining to go to the seven children in Rock Island county. The Hancock count? heirs were not satisfied with this apportionment, ao tbe others offered them $ 75 apiece in ad dition, which was accepted.

The Electrical Coiupnuies Want Free Copper. The electric companies in the United States want copper ingots . bars, plates, rods and wires placed on the free list. At the last public hearing of the com mittee of ways and means n tariff ques tions Mr. George M. Ph.lps, of New York, representing the N w York Na tional Electrical Lighting association, urged that the copper i lines of the United States arc the large x and finest in tho world; that copper can be pro duced more cheaply here than anywhere else, and that prices am artiii.ially main tained within the Ikounilarif ;of the coun try by a combination of tin mine own ers, which nolod y enn denj . The duty on copper in any of the forms above hii-iiii.hh-iI is four cents a pound. It is acini, us tiling that while ens i sport copper in III tn piantities to Europe, tho price is alwa s higher in this country. Tin- 1'alumr and Hecla mine in Michigan has paid i s sharehold ers over $30,000,000 divider is on a capi tal of $2,500,000 etooe 1879. Therefore, these cannot require any pr toattoaV The existence of a trust it almost self evident. Copper can be r.iised and re fined at the Lake Superio - mines at a cost not exceeding four cent .. It can be landed in New York city free at 0 cents. Yet the quotat on for it in the New York Metal Kxrhaiifre on Jan. 16, 1890, was 14, cents a pound. On the same day the price ol copper in London was 50 per ton, or approxi matcly 11 cents a pound. So that, after paying costs.. f freigl.t and insu rance to London, the mini owners of this country were still able to sell it there 3y cents a pound chea icr than in New York. It only needs t lie pointed out that this 4 cents differential or tin re abouts has prevailed against liis country since 1ST9, and that 4 cents a pound i the amount of the duty, to tee that the American consumer has to p.iy the mine owner this amount more tli .n the for eigner. No wonder the foreigner can undersell us in outside mark. t-! The Tariff on -.Ik. The Dry Goods Chronicle has inter viewed a number of silk mere hunts and manufacturers on the subj.vt of the pro posed duty on raw silk, intended to en able the American silk worm o compete with the pauper silk worms o ' Italy and China. Mr. Stocker, of thi- firm of Stocker & (J waiter, says that the whole production of raw silk in this country does not exceed 900 pounds. One hun dred and fifty pounds is produced bv the state board for silk culture in I .ilifornia. "To kill our present flotirishirg silk in dustry for the sake of being able to raise a quantity of raw material ton years hence," says Mr. Stocker, "is a policy that will never succeed in this country." This means, we suppose, tii tt the bill will not pass, because it has leen found in other parallel cases that lulling one industry by means of a duty o i raw ma terials in order to promote another in dustry has succeeded very wel I, Efforts to accomplish similar results aie making now in Washington city, and the ques tion whether they will succeed or not de- ! pends on the number of votes o itainable, I SSsd this depaskds largely on i he lobby iniiui'tices at work. v e are n clmed to agree with Mr. Stocker that the ilk worm is not strong enough in the lobby is yet to secure llM recognition which his bumble lals.rs merit.

A Haunted Honse This body of ours hss been likened to a tenement. It often has a haunted apartment - the stomach. Scared by the eldrich sprite, dyspepsia, digestion flies and refuses to return. What can break tbe spell, what can raise the ban laid up on the unhappy organs? We answer un hesitatingly, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and we are warranted in response by the recorded testimony of myriads, covering a period of over a third of a century. A course of the Bitters, begun in any stage of the affliction, and persistently fol lowed, will terminate in curt positive, not partial . The Bitters restores tone to tbe epigastric nerve, renews and purifies the juices exuding from the cellular tissue that act upon the food digestively, expels bile from the stomach and the blood, and promotes a regular habit of body.
