Boston, Mass, Nov. 23.-Two years
ago last spring Mrs. Emma Carlton was
called to the door Of her Watertown resi-
dence, in day light. and brutally murdered
with paving stone by some person un-
known. She was found by the neighbors
lying in the front hall with no one in the
house besides her, save her two little chill
dren. The murder created great sensa-
tion, owing to the suspicion resting upon
the victims husband, Frank Carlton, and
the long and fruitless attempt to
fasten the crime upon Nova Scotian
named Roger. A mass of black, crumbling
cellar walls enclosing the ruins of the once
happy home are all that is left to mark the
scene of the famous murder at Watertown.
1t has been generally thought that the ends
of justice would never be reached. Early
this morning, according to the statement of
Capt. Folsom of the Cambridge police,
an officer on his division was
approached by Boston detective
and stranger, who asked for the house of
Mrs. Brooks the nurse of Mrs. Cartoons
children. He told them where it was and
then was told the object of their mission.
1t appears from their statement that while
lying in the tombs in New York, charged
with burglary, Frasier Cunliff, the negro
who was all along suspected Of the crime,
was so troubled with the thoughts OF his
deed, ON receiving a sentence of six
years. imprisonment in state prison,
though knowing fully the consequences
of his acknowledgement, made full con-
fession to the authorities. According to
report he has implicated the husband of the
murdered woman in the deed, which, it is
said, he has explained In all its details.
The officers this afternoon looked over the
scene of the tragedy and located the resi-
dence of the parties concerned in the con-
fession. The New York authorities have
refrained from making public anything in
regard to the matter

A ACold-BIooded murder.

CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 23.-John Sharp
less, one of the most prominent orthodox
friends in Delaware county, was most
foully murdered at his farm, about two
miles from this city. last night. His farm
is part of the original tract of the pioneer,
John Sharpless, of whom he is lineal de-
scendant and is located ON lonely road.
At o'clock last night strange colored man
called at the house while it was raining.
He found MI. Sharpless sitting with his
family, his wife, two ladies and the nurse.
He asked Mr.. Sharpless to go with him to
the barn for some straps, under the pretext
that carriage in which were three ladies
had broken down on the road. When in
the stable the negro struck Sharpless on the
back of the head with hatchet, crushing
his skull and killing him instantly. After
taking his watch the negro put out the
lantern and returned to the house for the
purpose, it is thought, of killing those
therein. In reply to question, he said he
wanted money, and advanced towards one
of the women, at the same time asking
what had become of the young girl, whom
he missed from the room. Upon learning
that she had gone out, and the colored
servant being sent for, the villain left. He
went across the fields in the direction of
John Lindsey's farm, adjoining, and, it is
supposed, fired the barn to distract atten-
tion, for it was burned down short time
after the murder, with all the crops, farm
ing implements and four head of horses, en-
failing loss of $1,000. The body of John
Sharpless was found in the stable, where he
had fallen. He was very plain, generous,
honest, well-to-do farmer, without an
enemy in the world, and his murder is ap
palling. He was about 81 years old. He
was president of the Sharpless Bi-Centen-
nial association, and took an active part in
the affairs of his community.
The post mortem examination shows
that the back of Mr.. Sharpless' skull was
fractured in five Places and that the wound
must have been inflicted with some heavy
blunt instrument. The country around is
being searched for the murderers. The
county authorities have offered $500 reward,
in addition to like amount offered by the
family, for the arrest of the murderer.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-The police
this evening arrested negro answering the
description of the murderer of John Sharp
less, at Chester. and he will be given a
hearing tomorrow morning. He gives his
name as Isaac Lewis, and says he has no
home.

Carved Glass.
Art Journal. .


At one time glass surpassed gold, not
only in value as a material, but in forms of
vases and drinking vessels wrought into
various patterns by means of wheels and
points. An article of the kind was con-
sidered a worthy present for king. Glass
carving is branch of the art of carving
precious stones begun by the lapidary saw
age, and improved with more or less ability
by workers in archaic times and earliest
civilizations. In the Greek and Roman
periods, when the glyptic art was encour-
aged as whole, carving on glass may be
said to have reached its zenith. Perhaps it
is to the later Greeks and Romans that we
are indebted for the finest works of the
kind. Colored glasses were generally pre-
ferred to glass of only one color for carving;
and at the present time cameo work or re-
lievo in one color. or more than one, upon
ground of different color. is growing in
favor of the educated and wealthy at home
and abroad. To England is due the honor
of reviving the art of carving glass.

Turf Winnings.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-In estimating the
winnings of horse owners on the turf it is
rather hard to get down to a precise figure,
by reason of payment of forfeits and half
forfeits and entry fees, the selling of horses
out of the stable, dissolutions of partner
ship. etc. A fair approximate estimate is
the best that can be expected. The Turf.
Field and Farm of this week places the
Santa Anita stables after the Dwyers, with
about SIS. 900 over Morrisey's and Patton's,
and the figures in Goodwin's make similar
showing. The Santa Anita is credited with
S51,64S. Morrisey's and Patton's come
next, with over $46, 900. Then comes Mil
ton Young's stable, with over $4,000.

The Bowman Tragedy.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-There were no
new developments to-day in the murder
of John B. Bowman, ex-mayor of East st.
Louis. A theory that he had been killed by
George Clark alias Coleman, burglar who
had been released several days ago after
ten months Incarceration for connection
with the burglary of the safe in the treasury
of East st. Louis, was easily exploded.
Clark was easily found in st. Louis and it
is evident that he had no connection with
the affair. The coroner adjourned the in
quest to-day, without taking testimony,
until Wednesday morning.

Brighton Beach Talk.


NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-It rained to-day
and the races at Brighton Beach were post
poned until tomorrow. The management
claim it has had a hint from the authorities.
1t simply suspended it's long drawn out
meeting while the grand jury was in ses-
sion. If there is no interference this week
racing will be continued until frost strikes
the ground. There are some $50 horses at
the track, the owners of which are on the
lookout for winter oats and consequently
are anxious. Saturday night there was a
row in George Horns drinking saloon,
growing out of charge of fraud
that was made against the light
weight jockey, Mccarthy, formerly
an employe Of the Erdenheim stables.
The race took place at Brighton Beach,
and Horn lost $4,000 on Weasel, Nc
Carthy's mount. The horse did not win,
and Horn went around shouting that
Weasel had been pulled. Mccarthy asked
him to retract, and this brought on fight.
No one was much hurt, but the air in front
of the saloon was blue with talk tor few
minutes. 1t is said, by those who have an
inside knowledge of the race, that the
Weasel party fixed their horse in the stable,
and then got Mccarthy to ride him, well
knowing that the public would back the
mount of the popular light weight. Nc
Carthy is one of the jockeys that cannot be
bribed to pull race. He rode Weasel for
all he was worth, but the horse could not
go any. Horn thought the race was fixed
for Weasel to win. and he backed the horse
freely. He is one of the fellows who likes
a sure thing. The Weasel party pledged in
King Arthur, but that horse was beaten by

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.- The triangular four
the championship of the world between
Schaefer, SlossOn and VignauX is a thing
of the past. Although the contest ended
in tie, no further games will be played
because division of the net receipts has
been agreed upon unanimously. This is so
at least so far as players are concerned, for
without dissenting voice they called for
''divvy" and a ''divvy" it is. This arrange
ment was made this afternoon. Moses Ben
singer, as the representative of the French
man, desired further play, but the for
eigner. who was present. blandly, yet firmly,
informed Moses that between himself and
the madame he thought his interests
would be properly attended to. The gross
receipts are said to be in the neighborhood
of $s, 600, out of which the foreigner gets
50, 900 for expenses in coming to this coun-
try from Paris and Schaefer gets $3.50 for
expenses from New York, which added to
the rent of the hall, the expenses of em-
ployes and other incidentals will bring up
the total outlay to something like $4,000,
leaving like sum to be equally di-
vided. Cries OF hippodrome were
frequently heard during the afternoon
at all the principal sporting resorts and
billiard rooms tonight when the result
of the committee meeting was made known.
Every one seemed to think that he had been
hoodwinked in coming to pay to see tourn-
ament which promised so much, but gave so
little in that champion was to be made,
but which has not and will not be done.
One thing, however, has been developed by
the exhibition, and that is that the Ameri-
cans have little chance in a fourteen-inch
game with the Frenchman. who, if he had
been urged by either of his competitors,
would have agreed to continuation of the
race for the championship.
