Ross is a medium sized, chestnut col
ored man, with a thin, bony face and a
forehead that slopes back in almost a
straight line from the eyebrows to the
top of the head. HIS mother, Mary Block
son. has been married twice, and is the
mother of eighteen children. AS stated
above, she was going to marry Perry on
Wednesday. Though not at the house
when the murder was committed, she
knew who the murdrrers were. but de-
clined To tell unless Perry disclosed the
secret first. Hawkins is about 80 years
OF age. and is said to have been mixed
up not long ago in grave robbery. He
is in a cell at the western police station,
and Ross and Perry are at the central.
Perry is about so years old, and is para
lyzed on one side. He was looked upon
AT the university as AN honest and trust
worthy man.
The premedation and elaboration with
which the murder was committed was 50
cold blooded and horrible that even the
police, who are used TO stories Of crime,
were amazed when they heard the de
tails. The skill displayed i'll working up
the case is very creditable to Marshal

charges of obtaining $40 by false preten-

We can readily imagine how some
sharp fellow, seeking to take advantage
of the name and prestige OF as we'll
known and popular clothing house as
Wanamaker & Brown, might make a
dupe of some ignorant and stupid
countryman, who for the first time
risked the misadventures of a visit to
the city. But how Marylander bear
ing the honored name of Webster could
in his sober senses be bamboozled in
the manner above described is past all
understanding. We don't know but
that Mr.. VIM. Webster deserves to lose
his suit for not having his wits about

the case, it is no less compliment for
Wanamaker & Brown. 1t is only the
true coin that is counterfeited.

A SCARED SENATOR.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore american tells the fol-
lowing amusing incident which recently
happened in the former city:
There has been a decided scare
among senators and congressman who
own large houses in this city. During
the last campaign pictures or descrip-
tons of these Washington palaces were
printed in the opposition local papers
all over their districts, and did much to
influence the people in voting against
omen who could not afford to buy
small houses at home, but were able to
build palaces in Washington" The
other day a wel-known senator, whose
term is about to expire, and who hes
beautiful new house here, was sitting at
his window, when he noticed photo
grapher come along and place his
camera in the middle of the street in
front of his house and prepare to take
a picture. The senator at once thought
of the opposition papers printing the
picture and his rivals showing how he
lived in Washington. He, therefore,
determined to prevent the photo
grapher from accomplishing his awful
design. He went out into the street
and ordered the man away. The pho
tographer looked at him for awhile,
and finding the Senator in earnest,
took up his camera and went to the
other side of the street. "You don't
own this pavement" said the photo
grapher, "and you can't drive me away
from here" The Senator knew he
could not, so went across to try and ar
que with the man. The photographer
refused to leave. At last he said to the
Senator: "Why don't you let me
alone, and 90 see the man who sent
the. l am only paid to take the pic
ture." The Senator thought that
good suggestion so he left the opera
tor and went to see his boss, down.
town. Imagine his disgust when the
photographer informed him that an
author was writing an article on archi-
lecture, and wanted a view of the Sen
ator's new and beautiful house to Illus
trate it. When the Senator heard this,
he invited the Photographer to send
another man up He would show him
the prettiest part of the house for a
picture, and said he might order few

SENATOR E. X. WILSON made very
admirable speech of its kind at the
new Crescent Club house in Baltimore
on Wednesday night. Eloquent, how
ever, as the sage of Snow Hill may be,
he will hardly be able to convince any
considerable number of the American
people, that a protective tariff has
brought the country to such depth of
financial woe as he SO graphically de-
picts. The Senator disclaims the idea
of being a free-trader. 1t would be
difficult indeed to detect the ear mari S
of one. if he be not a disciple of that
school.

GEORGE WASHINGTON once waltzed
three hours without stopping to take
breath, and he wouldn't have stopped
then if the fiddle hadn't broken.-E.t.
1t is difficult to tell sometimes where
a good mans example begins and
where it ends. Georges example ends
when the fiddle broke. And yet that
is dangerous length to trust it. Like a
broken ree,a bursted fiddle is slenderd

DEMOCRATIC SIMPLICITY.

During the last Presidential cam
paign, how Democratic orators
"whooped up the cry of Republican
extravaganza at Washington, and how
the "rascals" were reveling in corrup-
ZION at the expense of the people How
pathetically they appealed to the poor
farmer, whose lily requited labor, made
it sore struggle against hard times to
have him believe, that the tendency at
Washington under a Republican ad-
ministration, was away from the honest
simplicity of the earlier days of tine
Republic. With the veriest hypocracy
they assured the burdened taxpayers,
that if they elected Mr. Cleveland Pres
ident good times would Immediately
return. That Stephen Grover would

play, or anti Republican extravaganza

ington, and all that sort OF nonsense
No sensible voter of course believed
one word these blatant partizans said,
but because the times were hard, and
business was dull, there did seem some
justification for the idea, that change
of administration could not make things
worse, and possibly might improve
them. There is no doubt that thous-
ands of men out of emplo, ment voted
tor Mr.. Cleveland under the delusion
born of the partizan promise, that his
election meant change for the better

many thousands more are Still vainly

for the picture.
