THE ROSS MURDER.
A Detective Arrested as Suspicious
Character. %

Character. r. ".r
CINCINNATI, October 13.-It is now five
days since the brutal murder and robbery
of A. W. Ross, near his home at Glendale,
and though rewards aggregating over seven
thousand dollars have been offered and sew
eral arrests have been made, no positive
clue has been obtained. Probably the most
important arrest was made last night, when
Jas. 7. Porter, who eight years ago was here
/ in the United States secret service, and who
has since had some prominence in the East
in connection with murder, was arrested.
He claimed to be here working up the case.
When searched q memorandum book was
found on him, in which there were remark
able entries, among them these:
Baltimore, Sept. 30.-Thomas Huffman
left B. for G. to stand up some prominent
man in suburbs
Baltimore, Md, October 2.-Heard Huff
man was at Columbus, o."
columbus, o., October ARRIVED here.
Learned Huffman left for Cincinnati"
Cincinnati, October Saw Huffman
Fourth and Vine"
"October 10.--Saw Pinkerton (Robertl. }.
He told me Huffman and Dago Frank COM
mitted the murder of Mr.. Ross at Glen
dale"
"October 11.-Huffman left indianapolis
for Chicago this morning
Phillips also had two Adams Express
money envelopes addressed to himself in
this city, from John Dixon, Philadelphia,
dated September 26. One was marked
5000 and the other $40" Neither have
the appearance of having passed through
the company's hands. The charge OF car
rying concealed weapons was placed against
Porter. An attempt will be made to trace
Huffman. Porter says he thinks Huffman
went out on the train with Ross.

here, and the three representing capital
of some SIC, ,oOO, 900, are soon to begin sell

and save the shrinkage in weight incident
al to the wear and tear OF the trip on the
live animals. The hides. talloW. horns and
boofs are worth more in Chicago than here.
1t will be impossible for men to kill west
ern cattle in New York and compete with
the sellers of beef dressed in Chicago. This
movement means cheaper beef to the con-
sumner, but there is no telling how long the
retailers will be ablo to keep up
the price in their shops before the
pubic finds out what Is going on. With
regard to the quality Of the Chicago dress.
ed beef, the firm that is bringing IL here
claims that il is better than that OF beef
killed in New York, because the cattle are
in good condition when driven 70 the
slaughter-house and the fatigue OF the
journey by rail has not told upon them.
Five wealthy butchers have agreed tos.put

their 100000 will make competion

West to New York is profitable business
for them. This dressed beef business re.
auires only one-third IS many cafs and
takes off all the profit the railroads make in
feeding and caring for the live cattle on

the idea that Boston instead OF Bedloe's Is
land will be the ultimate resting place OF
Bartholdi's great work, it is just possible
that the thing will take that turn. Some
body has suggested that as Mr.. Vanderbilt
gave $4,000 to have Cleopatra's Needle
brought over here, some prominent Wall

Jobbery and Robbery Illustrative Of
the Character ofthe Robson Ring.
WASHINGTON, October 1S.--The Govern
ment is the owner of much well.located
land in Washington; yet when room is
wanted to do the public business, either
ground is purchased or contract is made
with private parties for putting up build
ing, of which the Government takes a lease
for term of years. Sometimes, after pay
ing in rent twice or thrice as much as
building costs, it is sold TO the Government
at large advance on the original cost.
Renting buildings to the Government IS
q IesnI ar business in Washington. There
are outward evidences that il is specially
remunerative. Now it is proposed to erect
a building by the Government for its own
use 1t Is the new Patent building, for
which an appropriation was made two
wears ago. Owing to some defect the law
had to Be amended last session.
The site selected is in every respect the
lowest in Washington. The spot Is made
ground. A few years ago it was swamp.
1t is in the ueighborhood OF what creates
an unwholesome atmosphere, morally ano
nh bvs;eally rasurugTcn Where
70 to sIt greater extent than another the foul
gases of the city and bad atmosphere gen.
orally must from necessity be great, where
the periodic overflow is most certain. it is
Just where it is proposed to erect the new
Pension Bureau. The building will be con-
stantly occupied by several handred per,
sons. II it was the object to devise trap
for exposing hundreds of clerks and OH
cials to all the consequences Of defective
sewerage, with the backsetting from the
Potomac fats and the city drainage, q
building on tie spot selected would do it
perfectly. Placed as buildings ordinarily
are, the'structure would tumble before half
up. Piles would have to be driven thirty
or forty feet, and even then there would be
no certainty of safety.
For some time past an attempt has been
made TO exhaust the water which flows in
as fast as the excavation goes ON. They say
they are prospecting. But no one supposes
the work will not 60 on. The job cannot
be spoiled now. The government has voted
the money, and it must be spent. Not only
tbat.it must be spent Just where some mys-
terious influence has decreed it shall be
spent-in the swamp.
There are plenty of locations on public
ground, not only geographically right but
high and dry, and open to no objection. II
property must be bought, even though the
Government has plenty, il q ring must get
the money, if Job must be put through,
why 60 into q swamp to perpetrate the
crime, as though there was q reason for
making IL the very worst possiblef

ST. LOUIS, October 13.-The business part
Of the city was thrown into state of excite
ment about half-past o'clock this evening
by report which few from street to street
and block to block with the rapidity of
thought that John A. Cockrell, managing
editor of the Post-Dispatch,, had shot and
killed Col. D. W. Slayback, prominent
and well known politician of this city.
Precisely How the shootinnQccurred
cannot be stated at this writing, as no one
directly concerned in the matter viii make
a statement, but Henry w. Moore, city edi.
tor OF the paper, who was. sitting at his
desk writing, says that while Col. CocFrell,
John NJ. McGriffin, business manager, and
Victor P. Cole, the foreman, were holding
a business conference in the editorial room,
Col. Slayback, accompanied by W. F. Claf.
ton, entered the local room and passed on
toward the editorial room, the r.s.s.,rp
a Door ofWhich Was Closed.
Mr.. Moore turned his chair as they
passed by and observed that Col. Slayback,
as he opened the door with his left hand,
had his right hand on his pistol pocket
In less than half a minute after Slayheck
entered Cockerelp sroom Moore heard the
report OF 3 pistol, and Immediately sprang
up, and upon entering the editorial room
found SlaSback stretched upon the floor
aud Cockerell bending over him apparent
ly wiping the blood from his face. Cock.
erell asked Moore to .
Send for Physicfan.
which he did, and few minutes later DR..
McCarty arrived, but not until slayback
was dead, he having died about three
minutes after being shot. Meanwhile
Cockerell washed bis hands and in less than
five minutes after the fatal shot was fired
he and MeGrifin entered a carriage and
drove away .Itwas said thew went to the Four
Courts and surrendered to the chief Of po.
lice, but subseq quently inquiry proved that
such was not the case, and it is not yet
known where he is. Col. Slayback's broth
er, Charles Z. Slayback, president Of the
Merchants Exchange, was Immediately
notified of the sad event, and he gave di-
rections for the disposal of the body, which
was sent TO the dead mans home.

Sheriff McCord returned this morning with
Jim Bailey, the alleged cattle thief, whom.
he captured after des perate hand to hand
fight on Gen. Mems farm, 25 miles from
Harrisonburg, Va. The fight occurred in
long hall of house, and Bailey ives shot
three times, but not wounded seriously.
Bailey's operations we're of.the most exten-
sive scale, taking a large herd north from
this county, and sending them back by an
other man l2S head short. Six car loads
were shipped and sold in Chicago, and ten
head sold to a Hancock county farmer.
This accounts for all missing.
Bailey in an interview gives diSconEec-
ted and contradictory excuses for the def
cheney, saying the men were drunk, the
herd stampeded and improperly branded,
and that the cattle were lost among other
herds
