Arrest or the Hasbaaa-Evldence
That the ROy He'd Help.

Arrest Of the Hasbaaa-Evidsncs
Thsa the Roy Hsd Help.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 4-No salts.
factory solution Of the Waynesvills
tragedy has yet been reached. The
four members Of the family are in their
cofaus and can tell no tales. That the
boy Willie was implicated in the mur-
dsrs there can BE- no doubt. There 10
abundant evidence to prove this, be-
sides his suicide. A further sxamina.
tion Of the room and bodies, however.
makes It certain that he did not kill
the two women and the girl alone.
Daniel R. Anderson, the divorced
husband Of the woman, Mrs. Hattie, %
known to be jealous Of his former wife,
and about the time the murders were
committed be was absent from his work
in Cincinnati. On this and other less
important circumstances is based the
theory that he either helped his son To
do the terrible deed or employed another
person. He has been arrested, and to.
night was taken TO the scene Of the
tragedy. A strong underourrent NJ
feeling prevails against him in the
community, and few threats Of lynch
ing we're heard among the crowd that
met him at the train, but as . large
proportion Of the population Of the town
and its vicinity are Qnakers, no demon
stration Of that kind is probable.
Anderson believes his son was guilty.
The boy, hs says, was an invsterste
reader Of cheap yellow back novels.
Anderson claims to know Of no trouble
that might have led to the tragedy, and
says he cannot understand 1t. When
he was up there short time ago they
were all getting along nicely. Why he
should be arrested he has no idea. He
could have no knowledge Of the matter,
and can prove II very easily. The in
quest will bs resumed tomorrow, when
it Is expected that further facts will be
developed.
Mrs. Baltimore, who lives near the
Anderson house, says that on the night
Of the murder she heard screams issu.
ing from the cottage; and went TO her
window to see what was the trouble.
In the back yard we're two men, whom
she distinctly saw, carrying something
which looked like sheet or bed. That
tie lad had help in chopping open the
heads Of his mother and aunt and the
girl is demonstrated. Who render.
o., that help and what the motives
were for butchery are the elements Of
mystery that surround the case.

The Union ExcursiOn.

About ESQ persons accompanied the
Union N. Z. church excursion to At.

about 26O persons in town to-day who
are glad they did 60. The excursion.
lists arrived at Atlantic City about II
o'clock, and as they did not start ON
the return trip until 6.l2 p. M, fully
seven hours were spent on the beach.
The managers especially desire to re-
turn thanks to the Captain Of the "Fel
ton" and the officers Of the Narrow
Gauge Road, who did everything in
their power to make the trip enjoyable.
The only accident occurring during the
trip was the loss Of hat by one Of the
managers on the return down the river
last evening. As the aforesaid tile
was of large dimensions and embel.
lished with q peculiarly broad brim, mar
liners are warned to look ont for 1t, as it
might perhaps be mistaken for one of

|
Providence RI, Sspt.4.- The Bank
Of Commerce Of New York bought to-
day at auction the whole estate, q very
small parcel excepted, Of the Spragus
property In this city and State. The
sale was held under . writ Of attach
msnt levied upon the estate by the
bank TO satisfy its claims as creditor,
no other way presenting itself by
which the Indebtedness could be sAtis-
fed.
The Bank of Commerce Is a creditor
Of the Spragus estate TO the amount Of
about $4,000. II was offered certain
terms Of settlement ~ the holders Of
the property, but it refused to settle
and would not acknowledge the right
Of the Trustee to hold the property un.
der the trust deed, claiming that it was
illegal. The property sold comprises
all that is held by the estate in this
city ,inclnding the old homestead, " which
brought only 600, although IL is val
usd BY the City Assessors at over $3.50,
900.
The large amount Of property situated
at Cranslon, including the large print
works, mills, villas, and the Nsrragsn-
sstt Trotting Park, was also included in
the sale, and brought only S4,7O0. al
though valued st over ~, ,0OO, 900. The
property at Natick, Amass Sprsgus's
Summer villa Cowessit, and several
farms in Warwick. brought only nomi.
nal prices. Ex Governor Spragu
mansion, Canonchst, which has lately
come into public notice, will be sold
tomorrow at auction. The value of the
property thus sold is about S5, 900, 900,
but It was bought In At q little over
$4,000.
1t is generally thought by those CON-
petent to judge that the sale will
amount to nothing, as the Trustee who
holds the property, under the trust
deed, is secure in his possession Of the
property, without possibility Of sur
render, and as the present possessors of
the property will not surrender 1t to
the bank without a struggle, the prob
abilities indicate another complicated
lawsuit, in addition to those in which
the estate Is now involved.

nE WASN'T AFRAID.


A COurageOus Gs0eesyman-The
Eye behind the Cusaaln-HOW .
Retailer Of OOl0ng Waded In Oh
6upposed Burglars.
One evening recently as . young lady
was passing . grocery store not far from
the corner of Seventh and French
streets, which had been closed for the
night, she saw the curtain on the In
side Of one OF the windows gently moved
to one side, and presently An eye peeped
around the edge Of the curtain aud re-
msined there gazing on her.
The young lady immediately took
steps to inform the proprietor Of this
suspicious circumstance, and that In
dividuAl with visions Of burglars, emp
,y shelves and clesnly swept tills in
his mind, at once hurried to the scene.
Arriving at the store examination
showed the curtain still pushed aside
and the ominous eye still peepinR
around the edge as though on the
watch for something.
Ths proprietor did not long hesitate
as to what course he would pursue,
some under similar circumstances
might have gone to headquarters and
had the entire force Of City Police
brought down, or called out the militia
to surround the place, but not he. His
property was in danger and it was his
duty 10 protect II. Advancing to the
door he opened 1t and standing there
upon the Threshold, with the rays Of
of the autumn moon upon his back,
Acheronian darkness in his front, and
q seven bsrreled Colt in his hand, he
delivered the following oratiou, in a
tone that would have carried dismay
and confusion to the stoutsst burglar.
ious heart.
"Fiends of darkness" said he, and
the words rolled through the inky
space towards the rear end Of the store,
in manner that made the jars upon
the shelves rattle; "Fiends Of dark
ness, l bid ys come forth. One min
ute, railroad time, will / allow you To
come out into the light and show your
selves and explain your presence here
but If at the end Of that time you still
refuse, by the aid Of this trusty wsap-
on hold in my strong right hand'l will
let the light in through your thisving
bodies"
Then he stopped to await an answer
but no answer came. The space within
the store was as quiet as though the
most lively inhabitant Of the place was
the large ood-fsh which hung over the
mackerel barrel. With the voice of q
Stentor he reiterated the demand.
Again nought but the eches were
awakened.
He then advanced cautiously and
turning to the window, expecting mo.
mentarily to feel the effect Of collision
with rushing body, he saw before
him not burglar, bat the innocent
smiling face Of his favorite cat.
Not word was said. Those present
immed lately took in the situation, then
the small party dispersed too full for
utterance.
