FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED,

CHICAGO, May 4-The coroner today
ordered that the corpse of Miss Annie b.
Patterson, who died suddenly a week ago
and was buried the next day, be disin-
tered an examined. Miss Patterson was
a tall, handsome blonde, and one of the
most accomplished ladies In the city. She
was also an heiress, and friends of hers
fear she was murdered. They claim that
she has been kept secluded from all com
pany for the past six months, and that
there were intentions to lead her into
distasteful marriage. A young tradesman
named Henry Samdrum is said to have
been her favored sutton, but it is asserted
that he was not permitted to see her. and
that a wedding had been planned for her
with her step-uncle, Sorin Mathison, a
druggist, for whom she had frequently eX-
pressed adherence. The girls relatives
pronounce the reports untrue and say she
died of heart disease. Mathison is evaslve
about the matter. 1t is understood his
suit was favored by Miss Peterson's mother
for the purpose of keeping the property in
the family. Just how much the dead
girls estate, or expectations, in Denmark.
where she was born, amount to, has not
been aScertained.

SAL E OF THE 500

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi. May 4.-The nego-
tiations which have been going on for
some months past for the purchase by the
Canadian Pacific of the Minneapolis s.
Sault Ste. Marie Minneapolis &
Pacific and Aberdeen g. Bis
marck railroads are about consum-
mated The Aberdeen and Bismarck was
turned over for just about what the road
cost-S500, 900. The balance of the deal
includes the transfer to the Canadian
Pacific of one-half of the stock of the
500, for which one-half of the sum that
the 500 syndicate had invested in the
roads, was paid, leaving the latter in
control of half interest. The
preferred stock of the roads in the hands
of the Canadian Pacific is also re-
placed by an equal amount of common
stock. The intention is to connect the Bis
marck line with the Canadian Pacific, thus
giving through eastern connection from
the Atlantic to the Pacific via Minneapo-
lis. The general Offices will remain in
Minneapolis, and no change in the present
list of officials is contemplated.

THE TEHUANTEPEC RAILWAY.

CITY OF MEXICO, May As an
nounced yesterday, the contract for
the construction of the Tehuantepec
railway was signed Wednesday even
ing. Yesterday the translation of the
contract was mailed to London to the
syndicate of which Mr.. McMurrock, we'll
known in financial circles, is the head. BY
the terms of the contract, the railroad is to
be completed in four years. The govern
ment will own the road and will
pay the construction company 5
per cent interest on the cost
Bonds will be issued in London by the
company as a first mortgage on the road
the interest being paid by 50 per cent of
the gross receipts. The line across the
lsthmus of Tehuantepec will be about 334
kilometers in length. Of these los are built,
leaving 226 still to be constructed.
The probability however, is that the part
now existing will have to be rebuilt, so
that the company will really, it may
be said, have to construct 234 kilo-
meters of road, or about lbs miles
The construction company also agrees
10 build wharf at Salina Cruz,
Oh the Pacific coast. The wharf will run
out into the sea far enough TO permit YES
sells drawing 35 to 40 feet to unload. Ac-
cording to the estimates made when the
line of the road was first located, some
years ago, there are from ten
TO twelve kilometers near Suchil
which will cost something like
$4,000 per kilemeter. This will
be one of the most expensive pieces of
railroad in Mexico 1t is learned that
Lord Gosford, who negotiated this matter
with the secretary of public works, is con-
fined to bis bed with slight attack of i'll
ness. He will leave for London with
Lady Gosford as soon as he is well enough
to travel

MINNEAPOLIS MIIIERS

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, May 4.-The Chi
cago, Milwaukee q ST. Paul company is
sued new tariff yesterday which created
some CONSERVATION among Minneapolis
millers. Under the new schedule the
rate on wheat from Minneapolis to
New York is fixed at 33c per 100
pounds, while the charge on Minneapolis
flour billed to seaboard points is Csc
per 100 pounds, BY the terms of the tariff
wheat can be milled while in transit over
any of the Milwaukee lines, giving the
millers at points between Minneapolis and
Chicago an advantage over the local mills.
lt was claimed that the schedule in reality
Is a discrimination against the local mil
lers amounting to &c per 100 pounds. This
afternoon meeting was held at the rooms
of the millers in the chamber of commerce
and the new rate was fully dis
cUssed. It is understood that the
sentiment in regard TO the effect
of the last tariff was not unani-
nous, and no action was taken in regard 10
the matter. Some of the millers state that
they did not fully understand the order,
and the majority deprecated anything like
hasty action. In accordance with this de-
cision a conference will be held with the
officials of the road, and the result viii be
announced at another meeting of the
millers 10 be held at the conclusion OF the

PHILADELPHIA, May 4.-The Times will
publish tomorrow the following triple
loaded special from New York which it
vii: endorse as coming direct from the
most authentic source:
NEW YORK, May Al have entirely re
liable information that the friends Of
Blaine have, within the last three days, re-
ceived, direct from him, his answer to an
aggressive movement for his nomination
for president, and the assurance that If
nominated, in the face of his Florence let
ter of declination, he would not feel at
liberty to decline. A general and sys-
fematic effort has been made by Blaine's
closest friends, such as Chairman Jones,
William Walter Phelps, Whitelaw
Reid, Charles Emery Smith and
others for two months past to
get Blaine into the attitude of a passive
candidate The Washington conference
was only part of the varied methods by
which influences had been brought to bear
upon Blaine, and the publication of his
portrait freshly taken from life in Italy
and issued by Judge this week, was decid-
ed on more than month ago as the start
ing point for the avowed effort to make
Blaine the candidate. Every possible
pressure has been put upon Blaine to get
from him the direct assurance that he will
not decline If nominated and that assur-
hnce has been received in this city from
Blaine within the last few days. In a very
few days more it will cease to be secret
that Blaine is in the hands of his
friends, as the Blaine leaders will
at once come to the front
and make an aggressive camgaign for his
denomination. This movement has been
clearly foreshadowed for weeks in such
Blaine organs as the Tribune of this city,
and the Philadelphia Press.
Part of the original program was the
election of Charlie Emery Smith as dele
gate at large from New York state, and
The failure was great disappointment to
the Blaine men in this city, but Mr..
Smith gives the assurance that Blaine can
command a ma jOrity of the Pennsylvania
delegation under any circumstances, and
that if Blaine's nomination shall seem to
be assured the delegation will be solid for
him. The unexpected expressions in
Massachusetts and Vermont for Blaine
were not accidental nor are they uneX-
pected to Blaine's friends. When ali of
the anti-Blaine men were repoSing on
their arms because they regarded Blaine as
out of the fight, the friends of Blaine
were most energetic in their work in the
two anti-Blaine New England states, and
they got possession of Vermont and Mas
Bachusetts while the others were sleeping
in fancied security 1t was the expression
of three hitherto anti Blaine New England
states that made Blaine cast aside his
doubts and assent TO the opportunities of
his friends for his denomination.
1t is now a positive fact that Blaine is
In the field, that his friends have his assent
TO movement in his favor, and that he
will be nominated at Chicago if hard work
and plenty of enthusiasm can accomplish

A Queer Story That Luther Holman was
Preparing to Murder his Sister.

BOSTON,, May4.-Luke Holman, the real
estate dealer who was arrested today on
charge of conspiring to murder his sister,
in order to get her property, declares that
the whole affair is conspiracy of enemies
of his who led him on, in order to get him
into trouble. He says that certain IN
named persons suggested to him some
months ago to have his sister robbed of
certain papers. This failed, and then they
suggested to him that his sister be killed.
They agreed to find a man to do the job
and few days ago. we'll known faro
player of Boston, telegraphed him at
Springfield that the assassin had
been found. He came on
to Boston and the negotiations
which led to his arrest followed. He said
to the detective who was playing the part
of the murderer for hire that he wanted to
have Miss Emilen put out Of the way. He
told the officer where she lived, gave him
a key to her room, handed him her picture,
told him on which side of the bed she gen.
orally lay, she having lady room mate,
and also gave him plan of the room. He
also suggested as there were three gold
watches in the room he had better take
them so that robbery would be ascribed as
easy way to kill the woman that darning
needle be run through her heart The
murderer was to receive $4,000. His rea-
son for wanting his sister out of the way
was that he feared she was going to be
married and he would lose all the prop
erty.
WORCESTER, Mass, May 4.-Emilence d.
Holman, whose murder is said to have
been planned by her brother, Luther w.
Holman, in Boston, was seen today, and
professed entire ignorance of the matter.
She was aware of no motive for the deed
and was greatly shocked at the tidings.
She said her brother, Luther, and his
family came to live with her after the
death of Moses Holman, the father,
in December, 1887. The fam
lily had lived there until April 1,
when they moved to Golding street Be
sides her brother, there were his wife,
three sons and two daughters. Emiline
had no quarrel with Luther, and Mrs.
Charlotte Holman, wife of the prisoner,
who lives here, was astonished when she
heard the story. Her husband left home
last Monday for Boston, and said he would
return today. There was no ill-feeliug be-
tween him and his sister. She spoke of
her husband as good man.
