THE FOREMAN TRAGEDY AGAIN.


1t Is now claimed that a confession has been
made to a minister by some dying person, in
which the names of the murderers of the Fore
man women are revealed, and Detective BFitney
is credited with having said that upon the
strength of the Information thus obtained arrests
will soon be made. The assurance is gwen that
disclosures will follow which will clear up the
mystery which hitherto has seemed to battle PEN
~etration.
In the course of a speculative conversation
on the murder, superintendent Robbins last
evening remarked to a journal reporter: 81 will
give You a pointer. There were three persons
implicated in the murder of the Foreman women,
and they were Greenbury Williams, James v.
Hough and Mrs. -. 1t may be that there is
some mistake about Hough, but the clrcumstan-
tial evidence is very strong"
The superintendent spoke with an air of posi-
tiyeness, and when the reporter manifested some
curio sity to know more, but h~esitated to ques-
ton, he continued; 81 am telling you this for
your own information, but you may use it if
have Travelled all night to have arrested Will
Jams il We had not had very conclusive inform
ted that murder. The detectives have kept me
informed fully regarding their clews, and from
all that | know | am pretty well convinced that
Williams Is guilty of the crime"
And you are very positive that he is %guilty2"
"There is simply q possibility that he ia inno-
cent, but | think, and, in fact, hardly doubt that
he is guilty. 1t may be that you are not aware
that the grand jury have elected testimony
showing that some of the property of the muir
dered woman was found in the possession of Will
liams. He has been identified also as the man
who was seen near Jhe house on the morning the
murder was committed"
"What is there in the alleged death-bed con.
fession2"

believe there is anything in it. II there was, l

A New Industry.

The cut of Rev. DR.. Knickerbacker, Episcopal
bishop-elect, which the Journal prints this
morning, is furnished us by Messrs. Minturn &
Minturn, patent solicitors and attorneys, who
have added to their business photo-electrotype
engraving, a process by which the cost of cuts
of any kind is greatly reduced. This is a new
industry in Indianapolis, and will, doubtless.
attract attention from all desiring to avail them
selves of the advantages of engraving.

amounts to 100000 and that there is only

THE BANKING CO.'S AFFAIRS.
The Demand for the Removal of Receiver
Landers, and Other Matters.

On Saturday the committee for the depositOrs
OF the late Indiana Banking Company appeared
before Judge Walker and formally petltioned for
the removal of receiver Landers for the following
reasons:
l.. Because he is interested in the affairs of
said banking company, in a manner antagonistIc
TO the interest of creditors.
=. Because the copartnership Of which he is a
member Is so interested.
3. Because he is interested in the funds of
said concern TO the extent of 1903.
4. Because he is wholly lacking in the ex-
perience and business qualifications necessary
TO the proper discharge of the duties of such re-
ownership.
.. Because his personal relations with the
members of said banking company are such that
ne ls largely under their influence, and is and
VIII be guided by them, to the detriment of the
interests of creditors.
When the petition was presented to the court
Senator Harrison asked for further time to file
an answer for the Landowner and assignee,
whom his firm represented. The court there
upon set the case down for further hearing this
morning at 8 o'clock.

DEATHS.


AT his residence, near Linden depot, in
Silver Spring Parish, on Tuesday night, the
9th of October, 1888, after long and painful
illness the spirit of THOMAS BELL CIssEI.
passed away from the scenes of this earth to
the joys we trust of a'better world.
The deceased, the fifth son of Samuel
Cissel and Margaret, his wife, was born
August 22nd, 1888, and was thus at the
time of his death in the full prime of man.

The Senatorial Contest.

Half of the Maryland Senate is elected
every two years. Thirteen Senators hold
over and thirteen are to be elected in No.
vember for four years. OF those holding over
eight are Republicans and five are Demo-
Gratis. Two Democratic counties-Harlord
and Montgomery-through discussions and
indifference, are now misrepresented by Re-
publicans. The Republicans need six more
Senators to control the Senate, and they are
making desperate effort to secure them.
Frederick and Washington counties will
give them two of the six, and they are now
endeavoring to elect their candidates in
Anne Arundel, Calvert, Kent, Somerset and
Carroll. Somerset usually goes Republican,
Calvert is close, and so is Anne Arundel, by
reason of differences If the Senate should
be Republican, the Governor would be ham
pered in his appointments of magistrates,
registers of voters and other officers, for all
of them have to be confirmed or sanctioned
by the Senate; and by holding one branch
OF the Legislature they would be in posi-
ton TO and would defeat Democratic legis.
lation. In all Of these counties-Calvert,
Anne Arundel, Kent Somerset-the Demo
Gratis have even chances of success, and
more than an even chance in Kent CAL
vert is likely TO go Democratic also, and
the Senator from Carroll may have the de-
Gliding vote Westminster (Md) Adcocate

fill the iron safes of the rich. The Demo.
Gratis insist on a tariff for revenue, tariff
which shall favor no class above another
and which shall distribute all burdens
equally.
The dangers of Republican accession to
power are too numerous to discuss in de-
tail, but we call attention 10 the following
as one Of the most ominOus. In Maryland
the Republicans are largely Indebted, for
the influence they possess, to the negroes.
The votes of their dusky allies have in
many cases been the means of carrying
those elections in which they have been
successful. Well the negroes now, in COM
mon with their fellows all over the land,
demand some recognition Of their services.
They say to their white brethren, we have
fought your battles and elected you to office,
in return we ask share in the spoils. The
Republicans, finding that snubbing out
wright will no longer do, have promised
these negroes that just so soon as the party
has become firmly entrenched in the State,
offices shall be given to them. Such a
course would not, they say, DO polite nOso )
il would drive away those wavering Demo-
Gratis who are almost persuaded to desert
and go over to the enemy. Now, either the
Republican party are deliberately lying or
horrors OF ignorant negro rule Which ever
it be, they are worthy of only the contempt
of honorable and intelligent men.
Again we ask, shall such party rule
Maryland9 No, may God forbid! No, by
our history, bright and glorious No, by
our fathers, good and truel No, by our
pride in the past and hopes of the future !!
No, by our ref nement and by our honor,

The Hagerstown Mad, in q leading edito-
rial on "'rhe Pending Issue" in Maryland,
says:
"The plain but important issue presented
to the earnest Democrat is whether he is
ready and willing TO transfer the executive
power of the State 10 the Republican party.
1t must be steadily kept in view that the
whole election machinery is mainly in the
hands of the Governor He has the ap-
pointment of the registers, and in the City
of Baltimore the supervisors of election,
who appoint all the election judges for the
city, and therefore practically has it in his
power to appoint himself all such judges
by appointing superserviceable supervisors.
Here exists q tremendous power for good or
evil. Here lies, in fact, the whole political
power of the State, and if the executive
should be INSCRIPTIONS enough TO pervert
himself, or allow tito be perverted to bad pur-
poses, the result could not rest in doubt. We
have experienced, during the period from
1854 to 1859 in the city, when Know N 9TH
ingism was in power there, what corrupt
and unprincipled men who possess the cleo
ton machinery can do; in fact, make them
selves absolute masters of the city govern
ment, and by large majorities there coun-
tervall any in the counties, and thus become
absolute masters of the State This was ex-
perienced during the war, when the Repub.
lican party determined to hold the State by
force and fraud, and got the benefit of both
under the semblance of popular elections.
We have not the slightest security
that the Republican party, when once in
possession of it, will not use it as we know
they did. Is it not matter almost of GER
tainty that if Mr.. Holton is elected it will
be SO used, and with an accumulated force,
having $4,000 colored voters on the registra-
ton lists now, and any number in the Dis
trlct OF Columbia and the adjacent States To
draw upony The fact that Mr.. Holton, dur.
ing the war, got his seat in the Senate by
casting aside the Democratic vote of this
county, and not counting one of it, makes
the assurance doublY sure that in elections
he is capable OF doing anything, and there
fore not to be trusted with the machinery
of the State. AS things have improved I'M
der the present executive, whose active and
earnest efforts have been devoted to secur-
ing fair and honest elections both in the
| city and State, there can be q reasonable
nope entertained by every Democrat that
his policy, in this respect, at least, will be
carried out by Mr.. McLane if he should be
elected. We have the assurance, further
more, that the Democratic sentiment is over.
whelmingly for this just and upright policy ;
that we have obtained fair registration un-
der this Democratic administration, and that
no effort has been spared to secure a fair
election in the city and have a fair count of
the votes as cast, and that with such pro-
gress made under Democratic Governor,
we cannot conceive it to be in the nature of
things that the coming-in.Democratic Gov
ern0r could now be brought to reverse such

Gen. Bradley 4. Johnson, in speaking OF
the recent decision in the civil rights cases,
says:
"fhe decision is pregnant with signifi-
canoe, in showing the progress of the reac-
ton against the ultra Capitalization tenden.
cies of the last twenty years. That reaction
in public sentiment is rising with accelerated
force every year, and expect to see the con
stitution re-estabished on the old Jetfer-
sonian lines of States rights, and Mr.. Madi-
sons principles again directing the general
policy of the government II Capitalization
goes on for twenty-five years as it has done
for the last twenty, we will have an entirely
different government from that established
in 1887, in which ! believe public liberty
will be sacrificed to national grandeur. The
Supreme Court has swung to the extreme
limit toward Capitalization. II has for some
years been stationary, and, as it were, hest
tating. The pendulum has now started on
its backward way. As for the condition of
the negroes, they will be better off protected
by the COED will of their friends and neigh
bors, than dependent on the federal govern
ment for their safety and security"
