 READING, Got. 22-Jamss H. Madeira, aged 52, a bachelor worth $25, 900 in cash, shot himself dead at Fleetwood near here last night, because he was troubled by the fact that chapel he was building would cost more than the money subscribed. Madeira personally saperintended the work and wore the skin of his hands handling bricks. He had done all she work voluntarily without pay, had given over 1000 toward the ex- penses and had raised $1 ,00O more by sub complete the building. The last thing wrote was note giving $500 additional to the chapel and saying; ''I will enter 8 better world than this. I have had much trouble here"
 The Charley Ross Clew-Hnnging of An
 other HIosher with the Secret Unre-
 VeaIed.
 PITTsBuRG, Oct. g The news of the pos sible new clew to the whereabouts of Charley Ross telegraphed from St. Louis this morn ing seems to be very strongly corroborated by the statement of J. 0. Baird, prosecuting attorney of Cheyenne. Wyoming Territory, who is now visiting in this city. He gays that some five weeks ago brother of the Brook lyn burglar Mosher was lynched in the sub urbs of Cheyenne for the murder of John H. Wentzell and murderous attack upon Jim Knight, 8 companion of Wentzell. These mon were asleep in freight wagon and Mo sher attacked them with an axe. WentzelI was not seriously hurt by the first blow and asked Mosher if he wanted his money. After receiving an affirmative reply, Mosher was directed to the place in the wagon where it was secreted, but he ordered WentzelI to get it While doing so Wentzel was shot four times and died in a very short time Knight had been rendered unconscious by the first blow, but he was not further molested Mo- sher failed to get the money, but fled on the of squad of soldiers from Fort Collins. He was pursued and finally over taken, and Knight, who returned to con- sciousness, was able to give some informa- tion in regard to the attack Mosher was taken back to Cheyenne, where he had lived for some time, and to confidants he admitted that he had intended to kill both Knight and Wentzell. He also said that he had been compelled to go West because of participation in crime which had become known throughout the world. He said he had been the custodian of person for whom a ransom had been demanded for over a year, and that the detectives, after the killing of Mosher in Brooklyn, were so hot on the trail that he was forced to fly. The crime with which he that the citizens of Cheyenne and vicinity formed an organization on Sunday, and at o'clock following the murder of Wentzell they took Mosher from the custody of the officers and escorted him out to the woods. It was then that he offered to give the information; but the lynohers did not have time to wait, and the execution was completed in a few minutes.
 During his residence in Cheyenne he had spoken frequently of the crime charged against his brother to confidential friends, but it was not until his body had been dan gling in the air for nearly twenty four hours that these friends told what had been communicated to them. The general impression of the people of Chey- enne is that Mosher, who was sometimes call. cd Moore and often Mosier, brought Charley Ross west with him, and that the child might have fallen into the hands of the party whose confession st St. Louis has just resulted in the visit of the father to that place and. the already made known. The man through whom MT. Ross is working has said that Charley was in Wood River settlement, in Illinois, between Alton and Edwardsville, and had been there long time with family of nefiroes.
