Theories That n Man Was Killed and
Thrown Into the River.

\ Pittsburgh, Pa, telegram says: The
residents Of MckccSpOr', 4 town fifteen
miles east 81 this city, are excited over
sensational developments which have fol-
lowed tle arrest OF GuStave JacObern and
Charles Wagner. charged with the murder
OF Herman EdmundSOn. To-day large
hole was discovered in the cellar OF Wag-
ner's house, with the dirt piled up on the
sides as il it had recently been opened.
This hole was carefully inspected, and 4
number Of hairs corresponding in color
and length to those in the beard OF the
dead man were found.
Two cOfict-sarkS were also found on the
river-bank near the place where Edmund
sons body was discovered. They were
sewed together, and were rank and foul in
smell, the odOr resembling that OF the de-
composed body OF EdmundsOn. The
theory is that the body was in the sacks
when it was first thrown into the river,
and that in some way the sacks were OPEN
ed 10y striking against something, and the
body let out. John Lowry, brother-in-
law OF Wagner, was arrested to-day for
cOmplicity in the crime and lodged
in Jail for trial. The impressions
OF the detectives who are working
on the case now is that when Ed
mundson was killed his body was buried
in Wa-ner's cellar. and that the murdcrerS,
fearing that the grave might be discovered,
thought to conceal all evidence OF their
crime by throwing the body into the river.
In support OF this theory is the fact that a
small roll OF bills in EdmundSon'S pocket
when the body was found were not wet
through. as they would have been il the
body had been in the water six mon tbs,
but were covered with mildew, as il the
money had been buried in the ground and
replaced in EdmundsOn's pocket when he
was thrown into the river to avert the suS-
picion that would have been Immediately
aroused il his pockets bad been empty.

IRISH AFFAIRS.
The Question OF Raising Fund TO Pay Ma
tionalist Members or Parliament.
TBy cable to the D,spa,ch.I


LONDON, June 21.-The Irish Nationalist
are still agitating the question OF providing
fund out OF which a regular salary OF
E3O0 year may be paid to the Nationalist
members OF the House Of Commons. This
matter WILDE prominent subject for dis
cussion ut the General Convention OF the
party. which will be held in Dublin some
time in the autumn. Meanwhile the dis
trict conventions, the Irish Nation says,
will be asked to take the matter into
consideration and report TO the Gene
raj Convention what they think as
to the feasibility OF the scheme. The plans
which the leaders Of the party have in
mind now, and which they are in hope
party conventions will adopt. is TO secure
the necessary fund BY regular levy or
tax upon all Nationalist voters. English
Conservatives are contributing large sums
10 the political fund OF the Irish Tories.
The trustees OF this fund are Lord Ross
more, whose too otliciOus zeal against the
Nationalsts caused him to lose his COM
mission as justice OF the peace last autumn,
and Sir Samuel Wilson. The object to
which this fund Is to be dedicated is the
payment OF expenses attending the contest
OF Parliamentary elections by COnserva-
tiyes in Irish constituencies

SHOT By 4 CRANK.
The Black sheep of an Historic Family
Attempts Murder.


4 New York special OF Friday says !:
John Drake, the lawyer who was shot in
his Office, at - Cedar street, Yesterday, is
seriously injured and may die. The bone
OF the right shoulder is terribly Spintercd.
The place where the wounded man -
kept is secret. in order that he may be
kept quiet and private. The man who
shot him has not yet been arrested, but
he can be laid hold oi ut any lime. He is
not. rs was at first IcpOrtad, /. j. Oakley
Rhinelander, but his brother, William {.
Rhinclandcr. who is the black sheep Of the
old and wealthy KnickcrbOckcr family OF
that name, whose history has been idcnti-
fed with that OF New York since it was Il
village settlement. His grandfather !cit a
very large estate. but William G.. was dis
inherited. lie is described rs a crank, who
was allowed to 90 at large on account OF his
family connections, but was at no time
more than half responsible. and should
have been put under restraint long ago.
THE CRAEK's DESCRIPTION.
lie is about thirty years OF age, tall, near
sighted. ose-jOinted. and walks with an
unsteady gait. Mr.. Drake was counsel for
the family. and its cranky member WAS
in the habit OF importuning him for sums
Of money. Yesterday afternoon he
called at his office, and remained
there more than an hour endeayOring
TO prevail on Mr.. Drake to supply him
with funds. The lawyer refused 10 do
so. and Rhnelander grew greatly excited.
4 pistol-Shot rang out. and Mr.. Douglas,
who occupied the adjoining office, rushed
i'm and saw Drake forcing Rhinelander up
against the wall with the strength OF des-
peratiOn. and though he was badly
wounded, his strength held out to save
him from further harm. In one Of Rhine
andcr'S hands was u smoking revolver,
which Douglas wreSted from him.
Drake absolutely refuses to make any
criminal charge against his WOuld-be muir
derer. who was permitted 10 depart with a
relative. who promised to produce him
whenever ne should be wanted.
Rhinelander's marriage with a servant
Girl was one OF the cauScS which led to the
rupture with his family. In his domestic
life 1t is reported that he was not happy,
and Drake had occasion to mediate be-
tween him and his family. He had threat
cned twice to shoot Drake, and the latter
always kept heavy ruler on his desk for
emergencies.
William {. Rhinclauder was arrested to-
night. He ,aid that he shot Drake because
he had alicnated hi, wiie's affections. and
intended to Kill him.
