A RECEPTION
Given the Graduating Class O
 Skinner School.

Skinner SchOOls
 Mir and Mrs. M. Sonnenberg gave recep- tion to the graduating class of the Skinner school, who are soon to enter the High school, at their residence at the corner of State and Trumbull streets last evening.
 There were present about sixty guests, the members of the class and few friends of
 the family, MT. French, the principal of the school, and all the teachers. The affair was most enjoyable and pleasant event in the recolIections of school life. There were .recitationE, vocal and instrumental music and an abundance of refreshments. Rev. Dr. Vibbert of St. James' church, Fair Ha-
 ven, admirably recited "The umbrella moi dent," illustrating the different degrees of forbearsnce in young ladies; also "The school committees visit to the district
 school" Miss Burt, one of the teachers of the school, finely gave recitation hand
 somely illustrating the dismay and difficult ties encountered by an inconsistent husband in trying to match samples for his absent
 wife. Miss Hattie Bishop sang solo, ae-
 eompanied by Prof. EnsigR on the piano.
 She has very pleasing voice. Prof. Ensign afterwards gave piano selection in the ad-
 mirable manner for which he is noted. Tenie Sonnenberg, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Sonnenberg, member of the class, gave piano selection, displaying pleasing proficiency. None enjoyed the delightful social occasion more than Miss Tenie's gran d. parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Shoninger, who were present at the joyous scene.

A COLD FLOODED SCHEME.

A ROstOn Broker ConsPires 10 Cause
 the Murder of His Half Sister.
 BOSTON, May Hast evening L. ". Hol- man, a real estate broker of this city, was taken into custody for conspiring to cause the murder of his half sister, Miss Emeline B. Holman of Worcester. Holman's father died leaving the bulk of his property to the half sister, and in order to secure this l.. w.
 sought to have her murdered. The man he
 had selected to arrange for the deed gave him away to the police, who in the guise of
 accomplices met Holman on the Common
 and after getting most explicit instructions
 in the matter turned and arrested him.
 Deacon Abiel E. Wilson, one of the executors
 of the Moses Holman will, says he had little acquaintance with Luther, but had very poor opinion of his character. He had never seen any signs of ill-feeling between him and his sister, and if the plot has been made the inducement must have been for money alone. He did not think his sister had made will and believed her death alone blocked Luther from the entire property. By the terms of the will Luther was entitled to &, 900 minus his indebtedness to his father. This debt was note for $1, ,762. Luther claimed it was i'm valid as he had gone into bankruptcy two years before his fathers death This matter is still in dispute. Deacon Wilson thinks Luther's father had from time to time given him enough to balance the amount left his sister. Luther he says has never been en- tirely self-supporting. ''s

A GHASTLY SIGHT.
The Charred Remains of Seven Per sons Found on a Nebraska Farm.

The Charred Remains of Seven Per.
 sons Found on Nebraska Farm.
 OMAHA, May "A special to the Bee from Arlington, Neb., says: At 6 o'clock this morning fire was seen on the farm of Widow Freese one mile out which was supp posed to be the barn of her son -in-law and family who lived with her. A posse of citi- zens went out at 9 o'clock to see if all was we'll and were mortified to find the charred remains of seven human beings, only identi- fed by ytheir statures as follows: Old lady Freese, Fred Gratuschuser, his wife and three children and Fred's brother Lewis scat tered in different parts of the barn among the horses and COWS, some of which were also burned. One theory is foul play. Another is that each one of the family aimed to save an animal and all failed and were suffocated. A daughter who is away is the only survivor of the family, but it is reported that the hired man cannot be found. The wife was found under horse. No feud has existed in connection with this family and no ene- mics are known

NONE HUT AMERICAN FLAGS To Float over the Public Buildings
 of Our Land.

of Our Land.
 NEW YORK, May "A large meeting to express satisfaction with Mayor Hewitt's policy of displaying none but American flags on public buildings was held at Cooper Union tonight. The hall was profusely decorated with the national emblem. Sanford E. Church, the first speaker, said the meeting signi6ed that the people would not tolerate even suspicion that their flag should not occupy the supreme place. Foreigners were welcome, but after they were here they would not remain foreigners. The band played 'tRally Round the Flag" and the audience joined in the chorus. Colonel J. H. Pierce said if any citizen wanted to fly foreign flag on his house or carry it in procession that IS all right, but no flag but our own should float on our public buildings. Judge R. H. Shannon spoke in similar strain and was followed by Rev. c. s. Lansing. All the speakers eulogized Mayor Hewitt's cour- age and independence.

BOsToN, May 4.-This afternoon Holman
 was arraigned in the municipal court and was
 held in $25, ,000 bonds for the grand jury. In
 brief interview with Chief Inspector Hans com Holman said that he did not think he was doing anything that would render him
 liable to punishment. TT thought that the
 blame would all rest upon the man who did the job" said he ''I didn't think it would get me mixed up in it any more than if I hired man te cut 8 cord of wood" When questioned ;as to his confidence in the men with whom he was plotting he exclaimed: 'fI more than half suspected the big fellow (Collins) to be an officer, but the little fellow (Houghtony seemed to be all right" Inspec- tor Gerraughty, who first heard of the plot, said that Holman first tried to get member of the famous Paddy Gaines gang" to work for him. He first represented that he wanted man to break into house and secure some papers which were of value only to him.

Sneak Thieves Ger Away With .
 Satchel Containing $3O,OOO Worth
 of Papers On Which They Can ReaI-
 f4e Hut Little.
 HARTFORD. May 4.-John c. Mix of New York, agent of the 4Htna Life Insurance company, was in the city tosday. He drove around to see Henry Bradley, an old &C., quaintance. Intending to remain but few minutes he left his satchel in the carriage, and when he returned it was missing. Fail- ing to discover anyone in the vicinity who would have been likely to be the thief, he drove to the police station and reported his loss.
 The satehel contained a few articles of underclothing and paper and documents rep resenting a value of $30,00O. Included among them were three Etna Life Insur- ance policies, number of shares of electric light stock, will and various other papers of similar character on which the thief will be unable to realize a dollar. Their loss, however, is matter of considerable incon- venience to MT. Mix, because of the trouble of replacing them.
 The theft was doubtless the work of some one of the sneak thieves who have been oper- ating in the city lately.
