SOME MORE INVESTIGATION
Very Serious Charges Against Police
Captain.
A TASTE OF A SCANDAL.
Capt. Harvey Should Have the Investi-
gaion He Desires in All
Justice.

A newspaper paragraph or two had
recently been the intimation that GER
tain police commissioner has possession
of a paper which contains allegations
of a serious nature against police cap
tain. The police official referred to is
Captain Il. r. Harvey, and the revela-
lions, as statements concerning him,
emanate from his alleged connection
with the Aldrich cases. 1t will be re-
membered that when Davidson, Lewis
and Blake were arrested for burglarieS,
a portion of the stolen goods were
found at Capt. Harvey's home. The
captain accounted for this circumstance
by explaining that he had been working
the case up ON the quiet without
consulting with his superior officers,
and had recovered the silk, but had not
had the opportunity of reporting the
fact. There was considerable scandal
concerning the captains peculiar con-
nection with the affair. So much, i'll
fact, and of such an unpleasant nature,
that arvey finally asked for an inyeS-
tigation. Now it transpires that David
son has made some startling revelations
in an affidavit that was given to Police
Commissioner Hoy at the Saltwater
penitentiary. He charges that Harvey
was introduced to bin as willing to fur
nish projections" provided he should
receive a portion of the proceeds OF
certain raids then contemplated by a
gang of thieves whom Davidson
had organized. The arrangement was
SAID to be that Davidson and his pals
were to do the stealing, Harry De
Young was to act as the fence" for the
disposal of the goods and Harvey was
to report if any danger of detection
should come up through the police.
Further, that this arrangement went
into effect and Harvey received as his
share goods and valuables stolen by the
thieves, of which the silk found at Har-
vey's house was portion. Several rob
berries are specified by Davidson in his
affidavit, it is reported, including a st.
Paul burglary, and the proceeds from
which Harvey is said to have had a
share.
1t is understood that Police Commits
siOner Hoy obtained the affidavit at q
time when he visited the penitentiary
for the purpose of aiding in obtaining
the release of Antony Cantieny, who
shot Patrolman Mclaughlin, and has
since had the document in his posses
sion, calmly awaiting the time when
Harvey should have the investigation
he has claimed to have courted. If the
investigation is ever held the three
thieves will be put on the stand, if their
evidence is admissible. and some curl
Gus revelations concerning the workings
of the police department can be relied
upon.

He Departs From Hoosierdom.
Presumably to Escape a Grand
Jury.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Dec. 19.-Sena-
tor Quay made haSty visit to Indian
apo,iS, returning to Washington with
his party at $40 this evening. He would
not be interviewed Oh political matters,
and moved around with such rapidity
that he was out of the city before the
United States district attorney could
cause him to be subp9naed to appear
before the grand jury. AT least he was
not subpenaed, nor has Col. GOodloe
been summoned. A gentleman who ac-
companied Quay on his visit to Gen.
Harrison says there was nothing
unusual in the meeting be-
tween them. ''How are you, senator;
believe we have never met before,5
remarked Gen. Harrison as he took the
hand of the man who managed his cam
palgn. and in response Senator Quay
merely uttered the name of the preSi-
dent-elect. while he did his part of the
handshaking. Senator Quay explained
that Gen. Britain had come to confer
with Gen. Harrison regarding the ar
engagements for the inaugural eeremo-
mes, and expressed q desire that he
should be heard first. The conference
was brief, and at its conclusion Gen.
Britain and Gen. Williams returned to
the hotel, leaving Senator Quay with
Gen. Harrison. The two were i'm con-
Sultatlon the remainder of the morning
IN the library of the president-elect, bun
their conversation was interrupted two
or three times by members of the Loyal
Legion, who called to see Gen. Harri-
son. 1t is explained by one of the gem
tlemen comprising Senator Quay's
party That the latter'S visit was not Of
such
GREAT POLITICAL IMPORTANCE
as the public has been led to believe. It
was very largely social, said this au-
th0rlty. Chairman Quay had never met
the presldent-eleet and it was quite
natural that he should want to become
acquainted with him, and it was really
Tor that purpose he came. Of course.
they talked politics, that is Col. Quay's
business: but the idea that he came
here loaded with important suggestions
and state secrets is all a mistake,
mere newspaper theory. There is no
doubt, continued the speaker, that Col.
quay is very much interested in seeing
pennsylvania recognized. His indorSe-
ment OF any man for cabinet position

not come here with the idea that he
was to name a member of Gen. Har-
rison's cabinet. Gen. Britain, after
his conference with the president
elect said that Gen. Harrison had no
suggestions to make regarding inaugu-
raj arrangements and left the entire
matter to the committee. Gen. Britain
states that the inaugural will SurpaSs
any previous event of the kind.
We have larger fund than ever be-
fore, and already arrangements have
been made for the entertainment of
about $4,000 people who will come in or
ganized bodies. This number does not
include individuals, but simply military

mainly from Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island and Minnesota.
Many will come from Iowa, Illinois and
Ohio, and some as far away as Colorado
have already arranged to be present.

"CLUES AS Is CLUES"
An Emissary of Scotland Yard
Obtains Important Pointers.

TORONTO, Ont, Dec. 19.-InspectOr
Andrews, of the Scotland Yard force,
who brought Barnett here for trial, left
last night for Europe. Before his de-
parture he stated to a reporter thas
since he had been in Toronto he had OBJ
tanned some important clues in the Par
nell case, facts that he did not dream
had existed, but he refused to discuss
the mysterious things he had diScov-
cred. 1t is well known that the inspec-
tor paid several mysterious visits
to parties in this city whom lie called
his friends, but even to the Toronto de-
tectives he would not divulge these
friends names. Several evenings were
spent in this kind of work, and it is to
be presumed that Scotland Yard has an
agent in this city. Inspector Jarvis,
also Chief Inspector Shore, of the same
department, are in the United States
hunting evidence. 1t is said that for
over three years three of Pinkerton's
most expert men have been at work OIL
the Irish National societies. One of
these men is the celebrated McPharland,
who broke up the Molly Maguires.

In recent murder trial at Lima, o.,

Of ignorance and unfamiliarity with

busy looking after the political affairs
of the nation and the offices to give
much attention to matters of this sort.

A WANT OF THE SEASON.

The clear, mild days which draw the
bee and the squirrel from their winter
homes are mighty nice, but they are not
profitable to our Northwestern inter
ests. 1t is comfortable to sit at our
windows and look out upon the dusty
streets, but the failure of snow to put
in an appearance is playing havoc with
one of our leading industries. We refer
to the lumber business. This is the
season of the year when the loggers are
in camp, or ought to be; but logging
without snow is a barren ideality, as
every lumberman knows. Therefore a
good snowfall would be positive bless
ing, however much we love the bare
ground and the green hills.

MAURY'S MURDERERS.
Two of Them Ragged and th1
Others Cut or From Escape.


Special 10 the Globe.
WAHALAK. Miss, Dec. 19.-Dick
Cheatham and Anthony Wilder have
been caught, and lack Maury is under
surveillance. Six other negroes are
known to be trying to escape on the
night train above here, and the stations
are being watched by the pursuers.
They cannot escape. The other negroes
engaged in the massacre of the whites
are not yet located. There are seven
of them. Wilder was captured in q
store at Shuqulak. Two loaded guns
were found in a barn on his premises.
Cheathan was arrested at Mr.. Jones'
house, where he was helping kill hogs.
He confessed, and told where six of the
fugitives had breakfasted, among them
George Maury, the young leader. They
were waiting until night to board
train. The whites distributed them
selves along the road accordingly. The
prisoners are kept in frame building
ten miles from Wahalak. under a strong
guard. Their fate will be determined
within twenty-fOur hours. Satisfactory
evidence is at hand that the ambush
party consisted of sixteen men, led by
George Mauray. Other members known
are Walter Brook, Will Martin alias
"Coe," George Coleman, Henry Bush,
Dick Cheatham, Anthony Wilder. Cash
Maury, John Prince, Nelson Stennis
and Andrew Stennis. 1t is not likely
that any of them will get away. One
of the wounded whites is worse tonight
and it is feared three OF them will die.

Written by Girl of Sixteen.1
Onward. upward. we are marching
To land of light and love.
Where no evil thought or sorrow
Mars the peace in heaven above.
Our dear loved ones have departed,
Gone forever from our sight,
Gone from all this earthly trouble,
Into haven Of love and light.
When the angel comes TO take them,
Then our sorrow knows no bound,
Then we think that God is cruel,
And of US He is not fond.
Nay. not so, We earthly yeople,
God knoweth what is just to do,
II you live ana pray for goodness,
That He Il surely give 20 you.
If we live and work for others,
Our life Will be pleasant dream,
Then when the dear Lord calls US to Him
We Ike jewels in heaven VIII CLEAN.
Then let MS do our duty,
Try TO do il just and right
With the help of God, our Father.
