Mgr. Capel has issued the following
statement concerning cerain articles
published respecting him ia the East.

To the Public:
After two months Of diligent invss.
tiga,ion, aided by disclosures made
under peremptory orders from a rep.
Ies5ntltivs of a New York journal, l
have been able to trace the authors Of
the anderous stores circulating re-
spec Jag nus in the E stern press By
careful comparison 1t hes been found
that the editor Of the Argonau,a news
paper published in TINS city, and
which is ,abid hater of the Pope,
has peisis!enty INDUCED in personal
lies CONCERNING me. H5 lately an
nOur ced l had b. come a Prote7tapt,
and Rt subsequent period he invited
these who desired to know my address
to call a, the Arg0naW Office, aud also
rsf-rred them T. distinguished at.
toIney OF Sacramento for my manner
OF life Protiting by this offer of in
formation, the reporter sue
cseded in learning that it
was the ArgOna,a which supplied
the news published concerning me in
New York, Chicago and Philadelphia
papers, and that the Sacramento at
torney fur isbed additional news con-
corning one tn one New York journal
and which /, in q telegram addressed
to the latter paper, characteriz ID as q
tiesue Of f,lsehoods, and wherein the
journal was made a cats-paw to per-
s'cute an honorable American lady
and t thwsrt her claims in the psnd-
ing l.tigatioD. L. now transpires that
the Sacramento attorney is none other
than the opposing council in the suit.
Honor and justice to a prosecuted
lady OF irrep oachable character, loved
and respected by her reighbors aud
all who know her, az well as duty to
my church and myself obliged me to
take action. Simultaneously / shall
prosecute the authors here in Cali

that Mr., Valensin, husband Of the lady
referred to, reiter4tes most emphatic
ally he never circulated any story re-

An Old Woman Murdered by a Body
Snatcher.

BALTIMORE, ND, December 49,
Early Friday evening a negro man
brought to Maryland University, on
Lombard street, the body of white
woman aId left it with Anderson
Perry, the cologed jsnitor, saying he
would call again for SIS, the price
agreed upon. The body was taken TO
be prepared for keeping until needed
for dissection, but il was found that
the head was horribly crushed end
there were two wounds in the left
breast. The police were at once mott
ted. Yesterday post mortem exam
ination was made. Physicians stated
positively that the wounds were made
after death, leaving the difference that
1t was a simple cPse OF body snatching
and that the work had been done by
novice. Today, however, the body
was identified as that of Emily Brown,
woman 60 years old, who for the
pas six. months has been boarding
with a colored family in the western
section OF the city. She was of
di2sipated habits and lived by begging
She was at home three hours before
her body YVES brought to the univer-
slty, and it is now evident she was
brutally murdered for the price her
body would bring for use on the dis
@ecting table. Perry, the janitor who
received the body, denies he ever saw
the woman, but he is known to have
been boarder at the same house and
to have eaten breakfast with her on
the morning of the murder, and was
today arrested rs an acc ssory.
Late tonight John Ross and Albert
Hawkins, both colored, were arrested
and confessed that they killed the
woman at the instigation of Janitor
Perry. Ross smashed her head with
a briLk and Hawkins held h.r and
stabbed her thronph the heart.

Judge Sloan took up the case Of Paul
Gottkau, the socialist agitator, who,
during the progress of his trial last

rapidity the flames shot up through

THE Commissioners who are building the
new State Capitol must be greatly irritated
over the fact that the State Medical Associa-
ton yesterday adopted resolution calling
upon the State Board Of Health to continue
it's expert investigation of the plumbing in
that building and eff anything be found
wrong in its plumbing or other sani-
tary arrangements, that said board insist, by
all proper methods, that said State house
shall be finished in as perfect sanitary condi-
ton as the present state of scientific knowl-
edge will warrant" The manner in which
oficous outsiders have shattered the amiable
delusion INDUCED in by the Commissioners,
that the State-house was being built exclu-
sively for their satisfaction, has been very
dreadful, but the people and taxpayers of the
State are to be congratulated.

because it has not the support of the people,
there is nothing for 1t to do but to give up
the fight and make the best terms it can with
its old employees. That is, it should make
sure that it commits no injustice against the
men who have been in its service. Popular
opinion is interested only in discovering which
is right in all these disputes between employed
and employer, and the right will succeed in
the end If the strikers have justice on their
side in this issue, and do not throw 1t away
by attempting to force disinterested parties to
take up their fight, they will succeed, because
they will deserve to. Dissatisfied workingmen
would have succeeded much oftener than they
have had they always been careful to respect
the rights Of others and not to resort to meth
dds that cannot be countenanced in a free
