BROOKLYN, September 1.-Two sisters
named Tanor have long lived in an old
house near Winfield. They had no Wis
ible means OF subsistence, but often
bought real estate, paying for it in gold.
Yesterday screams were heard in the
house. The neighbors entered and
found the body of one Of the sisters ly-
ing on the bed, in an advanced stage Of
decomposition and the other sitting by
it, a raving maniac.
The preliminary examination OF DR..
Benz. Perry and Madame Van Buskirk,
OF New York, charged with the man.
slaughter of Emily A. Post, Of Semer-
Vile, y. j., and infant child, commenc-
ed today. Peter K. Post, father Of the
deceased, testified that he did not know
either OF the accused, but had heard Of
them; knew where his daughter was
going when she left home had seen
her on that day when she left to go
under the care of DR.. Perry during her
confinement never saw her again until
he arrived at the hospital and saw her
dead
Peter McMarce identified DR.. Benz.
Perry as the man who had hired the
coach on Monday evening, in which
Miss Post and Madame Van Buskirk
were conveyed to Brooklyn.
DR.. Balch, physician OF Brooklyn
City Hospital, testified that he saw
Emily A. Post on Tuesday morning, at
the hospital. She was under the second
stage OF labor. The post mortem exam
ination was made eight hours after
death. The effect Of putting a womaa
in the condition in which Miss Post
was, in a carriage, and driving her two
or three hours over cobble stones, would
be to exhaust her. Her death was
caused BY exhaustion through tedious
labor. Her chance of recovery would
be lessened by drive through the
streets
The prisoners were then remanded
for further examination.

James +. Wilson a Candidate for
Senator from Iowa-fatal Accident
A Girl Drowned Under Peculiar
Circumstances. dc.

CHICAGO, September IA special
from Des Moines says that James F.
Wilson has consented to be candidate
for the United States Senate from Iowa.
Mr.. Wilson is now East, out before
leaving he informed friend that if the
General Assembly, when they came to-
gether, thought it advisable TO elect
him, he would accept the trust.
A few days ago boat was upset in
the lake and man and woman, the
occupants, thrown into the lake and the
woman drowned. The man was picked
up, and while on his way to the police
station with Mr.. McGover, his rescuer,
ran away and escaped. Yesterday the
man was discovered in the Northwest
ern railway company's shop and arrest
ed. He explains his conduct as fol-
lows: He said he had been on a spree,
met the girl who was drowned on the
street, and asked her to take a boat
ride. She consented, and they obtained
a boat, and when about a mile from
the shore she asked him to let her row.
While changing places the boat upset
and she was drowned. TIE reasons be
gives for his running away when on his
wav TO the police office was that he
was a married man, and did not want
his wife to knew that he had been
boating with a prostitute. He was
held for examination to-day.
1t is now said that there viii! be no
confirmation in Christ Church until
Bishop Whitehouse requests Mr.. Che
new to present the candidates, which he
probably will not do. 1t should be un-
ders,ood tha, the action OF NJ Cheney
has from the first had the cordial sup
port Of his wardens and vestry men. In
fact that he follows them instead OF
being their leader. At a meeting OF
the Ses,ry las, night, Mr.. Cheney offer
ed his resignation for the fifth time
but il met with unanimous NO.
