THE HULL MURDER.
Still Involved in Mystery ---Dr. Hull Under
Surveillance.

New YORK, June ia police
officer, high in authority, in speaking
to reporter of the Evening Post OF
the murder of Mrs. Hull, admitted
that he was convinced it was commit
ted by person in the house, and says
the removal of the jewels was device
too shallow to deceive anyone He
also admitted it was likely an arrest
would be made very soon, possibly to-
day. Superintendent Walling is said
to be convinced the missing jewels are
still in the house, but if the Jewels are
not found in the house or drains the
place Of the murder will not be al
tered as they say it is impossible to
say how far the jewels might be car
ried along the sewer by matter passing
through them. DIR. Hull is under
surveillance.
The idea that the murder was com
mitted by professional burglars is
generally discredited by all persons
familiar with criminal matters. The
police are confident of winding up the
case before the end of this week.
Three thousand postal cards giving
a description of the missing jewelry
will be sent to all parts of the coun-
try The police will get full state
ments from every member of the
household as to their knowledge as to
the existing feeling between them

house, as we'll as of the events imhe-

COL. KEATINGs HISTORY OF THE

thinker and reasoner, whose we'll
trained mind was free from the dog
mas of schools, who had been through
various epidemics before, and had
read the best authorities and his
tories on the subject, he
was the man Of all others
in the South to compile and
to write history of the epidemic and
to collect such other informatios as
might be of interest and value, not
only to the medical profession and
scientists, but to the reading public at
large. When we consider that this
book, the most replete and graphic Of
all that was ever devoted to such a
subject, was composed in four months
without cessation from editorialduties,
it is something to be wondered at as

there has been an abundant work done in
clearing away superintendent error.
The treatment adopted is equally
marked by variety, and this, too, Is
faithfully sketched. A thorough chro-
nology of yellow fever is given, embracing
the entire world and every epidemic. The
next hundred pages are taken up with the
fever of 1873, at Memphis, followed by A
full death list of 1878. An appendix con-

state of knowledge of the subject makes
obscurity unavoidable.

interesting history of a Subject about which

ceremony the train upon which they
