A BRUTAL MURDER.
A Mother AMI Daughter Found With
Their Skulls Crushed In-rrobabIy the
Work of Tramps.

KANSAS CITY. Oct 2l.
A terrible tragedy was committed about
o'clock this afternoon. at the home of John
Conway. a dsryman on East 18th street, in
the thickly populated part of the city A
neighbor entering the house found Mrs. Con-
way and her daugeter Kate lying dead upon
the bed in an inner room. Their skulls were
crushed in and the bed deuged with their
blood, which was yet warm. the girl was
kneeling beside the bed, her head upon her
mothers body. Marks of blood were found
on the kitchen floor, and the weapon of death,
a car coupling pin, was discovered in an alley
where it had been thrown after the murder
Thirty dollars in money was missing from
the house. The most plausible theory is that
the murder was committed by tramps, who.
perhaps, had attempted criminal assault
uron the mother, and being surprised by the
girl had killed them both.

PORTLAND, Oct 2l.
Capt Andrews of the English bark Robert

a cargo of rags and camphor, has had note
worthy voyage in more ways than one. and
Is receiving considerable attention here at
this time.
While many Japaneze sailors have from
time to time been brought to the United
States and to different ports of the United
Kingdom, Captain Andrews is said to be the
first shipmaster to attempt the difficult feat
OF sailing ship from so distant port with
crew unable to speak word of English.
and without having a person on board able to
communicate with them
When Capt Andrews sailed rather more
than year ago he haG crew consisting, ex-
elusive of the officers, of colored men Two
of them were lost on the outward voyage and
the remainder refused to sail back from japan.
Captain Andrews was then without a crew
and was utterly unable to find any sailors in
port, and so was absolutely forced in order
to bring his vessel home, to employ native
sailors. He says they were thorough seamen
and 80 could be made to understand by signs
how the vessel was to be handled. Used as
they were to diet of rice, it was with no
small degree of alarm that Captain Andrews
found that his supply of rice was becoming
exhausted. He then put the men upon regu-
lar sailor rations, without any objection on
fhnir 6
"They can eat meat as well as anyone" said
the captain.
He says that his novel crew proved quick
and obedient, although he was unable to com
municate with them except by signs He is
inclined to think his example may be followed
by other shlpmasters and that the Japaneze
will be largely employed in the merchant
marine service. The captain believes that

went out, 1t subsequently appeared, in the

of some trouble with the captain. While on
the homeward passage Smith died after a

TABER.DOWNS CASE.
Continuation OF the Evidence in the Suit
for Divorce.
Boston. Oct. 2l.

BosToN, Oct. 2l
There was no vacant space for spectators
in the supreme court room today, when Judge
Allen resumed his hearing of the evidence in
the Taber divorce case.
Policeman Charles NJ Warren, who WAS
summoned to No. Derne street after the
door of Mrs. Taber's room had been forced
open by her husband and his detectives, tes-
tied to the effect that the woman was par
TALLY undressed and told the officer she was
In pretty predcament. lie answered her
that her husband would drive her to anything.
The witness made other statements conflict
ing with Rev. Mr.. Downs testimony, and
also swore that Downs tried to have the mat
ter settled without publicity before he was
taken to the station house.
AT the afternoon session, Mrs. Fannie T..
West, Mrs. Tabers sister, testified that Mrs
Taber told her that Downs was one of the
best men that ever lived. Mrs. Taber ais.
SAID that Mr. Taber .as no better than dirt
laber treated his wife kindly; Mrs Taber
treated her husband unkindy. Mrs. Taber
told her that she was busy with missionary
work and had TO be away from the house a
good deal. The witness understood from
Mrs. Taber that she had improper love for
Downs; this fact did not lead her to dislike
Mrs. Iaber, nor affect her opinion of Mrs
Taber.
Mrs. Minnie NJ. Mixer, formerly employed
as chambermaid by Mrs. raber, testined that
Downs came to the house about once a week,
always on Thursday afternoon; when he
came in the honse, Downs used to go to Mrs
Iabers room, the doors of which were then
closed. Mrs. Taber told her not to .ell Mr.
Iaber about anything that passed in the
house.
The next hearing in the case will be held
on Monday next.
