STARTLING STORY.
A Girl POisons Her Parents and
Two Sisters
And Then Kills Herself, Fear
ing Detection.
A Rather Unique Long Island
Runaway Case.
a Modern Borgia.

CHICAGO, December s.-A telegram
from Whitewater yesterday, said Miss
Annie Hoxan, of that place. died sud
denly, under circumstances indicating hat
she had been poisoned; that about three
years before, her father. mother and one
sister died within a short time of each
other, under similar circumstances; that
though it had created considerable talk,
nothing was done. This was revived
by Armies death and, to settle the ques-
ton definitely. her stomach was sent TO a
chemist for analysis. The deaths Of all
are surrounded by complete mystery, no
one being suspected. To night the Inter
Ocean has a dispatch from Fort Atkinson,
where the family formerly lived and
were much respected. Tho dis
patch says a report was received
there from Whitewater that the third sis
ter, Miss Nettie, died there to-day of poi
son, making the fifth member of the
family; that in this case it was suicide,
and that before her death Nettie confessed
to having murdered her parents and two
sisters. He also asserted that she con-
fessed to poisoning another person,
though this is doubted. No cause is as
signed. Her own death was brought
about by fear Of exposure through an an
alysis of her sisters stomach. Nettie was
a school teacher, and has two sisters still
living at Fort Atkinson.

New York, December s.-The widely
known firm of Opdykc & Co, bankers,
made an assignment to-day without pre-
%ferancc. A member of the firm said
the failure surprised even him, owing to
its s~uddenness, and was due to customers
who failed to respond to calls for margins.
The assets will ultimately yield nearly, if
not quite, enough to meet the liabilities.
The major portion of the liabilities are
secured, about two hundred thousand
dollars being unsecured. The firm was
founded sixteen years ago by ex-Mayor
George Opdyke, who died in 1880. The
firm suffered a loss of 81, O00, 600 in the
panic of 1873, $500. 600 being drawn from
it in one run. The present firm was
founded in 1881, with an invested capital
of $3.50, 900 and deposits of about one
million dollars. They state their contracts
on the Stock Exchange will not exceed
five thousand shares and that neither in
~dividually nor as a firm. have they specu-
lated to the extent of n share. The
firm IS regarded as a strong concern and
maintained a high grade of credit.

WASHINGTON, December S. The
President has appointed o. o. Stealys,
W. G.. Nicholas and W. W. Burhans as a
committee to examine the completed por-
ton of the Southern Pacific railroad in
California.
General Foster, United States Minister
to Spain, arrived at Washington this
morning and presented the Secretary of
State with a copy of the treaty entered
into between Spain and the United States.
A bill was introduced in the House to-
day by Beach, to maintain the secrecy of
thu ballot in the election of Representa-
tives and delegates in Congress. 1t pro-
vides for a separate uniform ballot, upon
which candidates are to be voted for. The
quality of the paper and the size of the
type are specified. and 4 general provi-
sion is made that all ballots must be the
same in outward appearance. An i'm
portant change in the existing law is
made in respect to what is a legal
ballot. Section q of the revised statutes
provides that all votes for representatives
must be by written OF printed ballot and
~nulliies all votes which are not so cast.
Besch's bill permits ballots to be printed
or written or partly printed or written.
The bill also requires that all Representa-
tives and Delegates shall be voted for upon
separate ballots. The violations of any
provisions of the bill is declared a INSIDE
meanor and is punishable with fine or
imprisonment, or both.
Owing to the crowded condition of the
calendar, the House Committee on the
Pacific Railroads informally decided to-
day not to urge the consideration of bills
introduced last session by Representatives
Sumner and Bedford relative to the regu-
lation of rates of transportation IN the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific roads.
Postmaster General Hatton recon-
mends the immediate appropriation
Of $1,000 for the railroad
postal car service for the remainder of the
year. In a letter sent the House to-day
he says: The accomplishment of certain
long desired improvements in the postal
service whereby time in transit between
the East and the Far West has been re-
duced rendered it necessary to establish a
greater amount of railway postal car SER
vice than vas anticipated when the esti-
mate was submitted and the appropriation
made for that object" General Hatton
also sent a letter to the House recommend
ing the appropriation of $4,000 for the
employment of additional clerks at Chi
csgo, Cincinnati. Cleveland, indianapolis,
Louisville, st. Louis, San francisco and
other eastern cities.

WASHINGTON, December Sin the
Senate yesterday Senator Mitchell read a
letter from General Grant relating to O
bill recently introduced to give him a pen
sion. General Grant expressed a hope
that the bill be withdrawn, as under no
consideration could he accept a pension,
ever lift passed both houses and received
the approval of the President. Senator
Mitchell said that he had introduced the
bill because he was chairman of the Com
mittee on Pensions and the president had
recommended a pension for General
Grant. He NIitchelD had always felt that
General Grant should be placed where he
was when he accented the Presidency and
laid down great offices he had won in the
war. In response to General Grant,
wishes Senator Mitchell withdrew the bill.

RACINE. Wis, December s.-The j.. l.
Chase Plow Company, ofthis city exeeut-
ed this morning an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors. This course was
rendered necessary owing to foreign at
tachments being levied against the com
pany's property and because similar ac-
tons were being threatened at home, for
the reason that no other way was open to
the directors to protect the assets for the
benefit of all creditors alike. No prefer
enccs are made in the assignment except
for wages accrued since November 1. The
nominal value of the assets is S66S, 600.
The total liabilities are estimated at about
s75O.OOO to $1,000 1t is hoped that
arrangements may be made hereafter for
~discharging the assignment and allowing
the company to go on with its business.

New YORK, December s.-The Boprd
of Directors of the American Baptist
Home Missionary Society to-day in its
treasury report showed such shortage in
its funds hat the appointments which
were made were for terms Of only six
months, instead of one year, as usual, in
apprehension that there might not be
money enough to-pay the salaries and ex-
penses for a full year. The society en-
barrassment is largely due to its having
recently taken complete charge of the
missionary work among the Chimes Of
the Pacific coast and to large sums ex-
pended in the church ediiee and educa-
tional departments.
