$4,000 FOR THE MURDERER.
THE MAN WHO CAPTURES TASCOTT
WILL BE MADE COMPARA-
lively RICH.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Pubhc inter-
est was again received IN the Smell
murder case today by the publica'
ton of a statement made by n. j.
Stone, son.in.law of the murdered
millionaire, in which Stone was
quoted as saying that the sup
posed murderer had been captured.
Mr. Stone says that what he did
say was: 81 have received a tele'
gram from man who said he had
arrested w. B. TascOtt. That he
now had him in his possession, and
he wished to know when | could
send to identify him. | answered
at once, 'How do you know 1t Is
t ascott7 Cannot you send
photograph to be identified = In
answer | received a message say
ing that the man answered all de-
scriptioDs, and would send pho
tograph Monday. That photo.
graph is what am now waiting
for.p
The announcement made later in
tho dav that Mrs. Smell had in
creased the amount of the reward
from $4,000 to $50, 900, making 1t
the largest amount ever offered for
the capture of any person, lends
additional inte rest to this celebrat-
ed crime. The reward will be paid
by Mrs. Smell through the Chicago
Police Department, and, as she is
the widow of man who died leav-
ing an estate valued at $5,0OO,OOO,
the payment of the reward upon
Tascotts capture may be relied
upon.
Mr.. Stone tonight informed an
Associated Press reporter that all
suspects arrested must be held
and photographed and their like
ness must at once be sent to him
self or the Chief of Police, George
w. Hlbbard. No detective will be
sent, as heretofore, until a picture
is sent and strong marks of identif'
cation are pre- sent in the photo
graph.

occult reasons, he daren't tell
them but he did not fail to dwell
on the fact that Frank throughout
had consulted him, and that it was
by the aid of his money that the
elopement was effected.
The next day, just as Mr.. Stuart
Starcher, after his elaborate toilet
and scanty breakfast, was prepar-
ing to 20 out, who should be shown
into his room but Franks brother,
the Hon. Jack Terrington.
"Well," said Jack, after the
usual salutations. 81 hear you
know about Franks last esca padep
"Well, yes 1 do" said Mr.. Stuart
Starcher, complacently. 81 think

letter be took from his pocket
"Do you know who the lady is y
"Well, yes" said Mr.. Starcher,
hesitatingly, "but promised not
10 tell"
"Just look at that" replied JACK,
tossing the old dandy letter in
Franks handwriting. The whole
town is laughing oyer you and it,"
Mr.. Starcher took 1t and read as
follows:
My DEAR JACK: BY old
Starch's advice and assistance |

have letters of his to prove it. Isn't
1t a Joke The old rascal was
haying her brought up privately at
Brighton, when | happened to come
across her at a dance at the Pa

has fifty "thon" of her own.
In haste, FRANK.

Starcher, springing furlously to
his feet. "By heavens I'll prosecute
him

Hon. Jack, quietly, "don't you

enough fool of yourself already 2"

HOW TO BEHAVE IN CHURCH.
New York Evening Sun.

No gentleman will interrupt a
clergyman in the midst of bis dis.
course to ask for the text.
A Christian gentleman will not
assault the ch oirm sster until alter
the benedictiOn.
The morning paper should be
left at home, and never, under any
clrcum stances, be taken to church
to be read while the collection is
being taken.
Do not glare at the stranger in
your pew who has made the mis-.
take OF reading from your favorite
hymn book.
Conceal your contempt for the
person who puts a m eagre dime IN
the collection plate.
Should the church be insufficient
ly heated put your handkerchief in
your mouth. The chatting teeth
OF congregation is apt to razzle
the rector.
Do not dissent from your clergy
mans views of things by snortiDg
or indulging in a stentorian "bosh."
Do not draw funny pictures on
the fly leaves of your nelghbor's
syer-book.
Don't walk up the centre aisle on
your heels just because your shoes
squeak. Let them squeak.
Leave business behind You.
Don't insist upon closing up a
wheat deal with a business ac-
quaintance who has the pew be-
hind you then and there. If
subscription card is left in your
pew don't write a promise to pay
S15 month for twenty years on
it over your enemy's name.
Do not seek to be revenged upon
a fellow-worshipper by kicking his
beaver in front of you all the way
up the aisle, and to keep fellow
members out of temptation do not
place your own silk hat in the
aisle where it may be kicked.
Avoid practical Jokes. II your
pew happens to be near the gas
nut do not turn off the gas, no
matter how facetious you may be.
Worshlppers in the gallery
should taboo dropping beads or
marbles on the heads of old gentle
men without hair.
In singing do not blow on the
head of the person who sits in front
of you. 1t may expose him to
pneumonia.
1t is not proper to put pool
checks, buttons or poker chips in
the plate.
Be composed if you here a fire
engine going by the church door,
Walk ous quietly and without ex-
citement. Under no circumstances
rush down the aisle yelling fire.

The two men arose and passed
into the next car after the fellow
who bad arisen.
They caught up to the man as he
was going ont of the next car. The
train was stopping at a short sta
ton. The man got Of. He was
arrested.
"How did you know that was

tectiye.
"Because, when | mentioned his
name he started and left the car
There is something about a Grim

the platform he was walking no

than eight feet before be would

this | became aroused, aud watched

friend, that | wanted to AVOID sus-
picion, the burglar was behind us /;
the man who fell first is one of the
best detectives in Boston. He was
dressed like workIngman and car
ried a pail. When we fell the man
whom We were watching did not
notice us, but hurried into the cars;
all the other people stopped and
looked on.
"The man went directly to the
smoker and Int a cigar nervously
he drew his hat over his eyes and
nestled down in his seat, apparent.
ly engrossed in his newspaper
The man read the same paper for
O long time ; he did not seem to be
interested in it at all, although his
eyes we're intently upon it. They
we're only on one spot. We sat
down in front of him and began to
eat apples and talk. When 1 men,
toned the name of Ridgewood he
started from his reverie. | looked
him square in the eye. He got up
and left the car. He was our man.
"On, about the eight-foot walk ?
Well, you see an old criminal who
has done time will never get out OF
the habit OF walking up and down
as be has done so long in his cell.
He will only 60 about eight feet I;
that Is the regulation length of
cells. He does this unconsclOusly,
and even though he may guard
himself against it, before he knows
it he will begin to walk up and
down.

''no man gives himself up to justice

WAYS OF DETECTIVES.
HOW CRIMINALS AND JAILBIRDB
UNCONSCIOUSLY BETRAY
THEMSELVES.
From the Boston Record.

"What are you doing there y
The man to whom it is addressed
is a short, thick-set man there is
nothing about him to attract atten-
ton. He is the most commonplace
man | have met for some time. He
is simply leaning against pile of
boxes, trunks and the like, at a
railroad station. Upon first glance
he looks like a sleepy old fellow,
who may have drank more than a
flagOn of rum, or he may have
walked a long distance, and, there
fore, he is fatigued. AS anyone
approached him in the crowd be
looked sharply, aud then seemed
to become oblivlous.
That man isone OF the sharpest
detectives in the state Of Massa-
chusetts.
"What are you doing therei' is
the question again.
Quickly, without moving a mus
Gle, without looking up again, he
answers, in a low, distinct voice ::
"Don't speak to me now Pm
watching man." l moved away.
Presently the crowd gets thicker.
The sleepy gentleman by the
trunks becomes suddenly aroused.
He moves about very rapidly
among the people. What will he
do7
Hardly is there time TO walk ten
PAGES when he has disappeared.-
The train thunders into the station,
and the people went aboard. The
man was nowhere.
/ That night one of the boldeSt
burglars was arrested and lodged
in Jail. He was arrested on that
train, and by the sleepy man.
The arrest was accomplished
thus: AS a rough.lsoking man
with tin pail in his hand walked
quickly from the depot to the train
the detective followed him closely,
and just as he was about to put bis
foot on the step he trlpped and fell
to the platform. In An instant the
detective fell on top of him.
The two men we're assisted into
the car, and then the detective
apUlogized for having fallen on
him. They sat down together in
the smoking car, the old-fashioned
detective took out of his pockets q
lot of cakes and apples, and they
began to eat and talk about the
news.
"That was a bad bit of work

Did you see the evening papers =
WWhat do you mean 7" said the
man.

BROKE UP IN A ROW.


The American Party's Convention Splits In
Two-Now York Tries TO Rule and Gets
Left Badly.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 10
When the convention Of the American
party reassembled to-day the Committee
on Platform made report recommend
ing that each State and Territory repre-
sented be allowed one vote in the con-
vention for each Congressional district
and two at large. Judge Clark submit
ted n minority dissenting report.
The New York delegates vigorously
protested against the adoption Of the re-
port.
Governor Sharp offered resolution
pledging the convention to nominate in
dependent tickets for President and
Vice President. A long discussion fol-
lowed, during which it was intimated
that the New York delegation was in
somebody's pay. The previous question
being called for, Governor Sharp's mo-
ton was put and carried by an almost
unanimous vote. A substitute motion
that New York be allowed one vote in
the convention for every two delegates
present from that State was lost by vote
Of 80 to 40.
The Hall resolution allowing n con-
gressional representative was lost by 43
10 40. The Illinois delegation then an
nounced that inasmuch us it came here
to participate in a National Convention
and not New York State Convention,
it would withdraw, and left the hall.
The Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin
and several other delegations also left.
The New York and California delega-
tons were nearly the only ones which
remained. Recess was taken until 7 p.
m. The boilers will also meet at O'Clock
at the Ebbit House.
This evening, the New York, Cali
fornia and other delegations which re-
mained in possession OF the convention
hall, adopted the plan OF :represen'
tation, New York to have thirty-eight
votes, or one for every two delegates
present, and the other delegates
present one each. The majority report
Of the committee on platform and reso'
lutions was adopted.
AZ late hour Gen. Curtis, OF New
York, was nominated for President OF
the United States, and Judge James A.
Greer, Vice President.
The boilers met and denounced the
regulars. Cleveland's name was Kissed
in the convention.

HARRISON'S RECEPTION.
He Makes Another Grand Speech an'
Touches on Living Issues.

He Makes Another Grand Speech and
Touches on Living Issues.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 15.-Between
5000 and G,OOO visitors from the three
counties ofRush, Decatur and Delaware,
paid their respects to the Republican
nominee.
The delegation from Rush county
numbered about 1000. In their process.
sion were twelve township clubs. About
forty, colored men accompanied this
delegation.
General Harrison made them speech,
chiefly on local issues.
Shortly after noon the delegation
from Decatur and Muncie arrived, near
ly $500 strong.
General Harrison gave his views in
brief upon the living questions oi the
pauper labor and American wages. He
spoke with unusual earnestness and
vigor, as follows:
One subject is never omitted by those
who speak for these visiting delegations,
viz: the Protective Tariff. The pur-
pose not TO permit American wages to
be brought below the level OF comforta-
BILE living and competence and hope by
competition with the pauper labor Of
Europe has taken a very strong hold
upon the people. [Applause.]
And OF kindest suggestion and pur-
pose is this other: That we will not
permit this country 30 be made the
dumping ground Of foreign pauperism
and crime. [Great applause. There
are some who profess to be eager to ex-
clude paHper and Chinese laborers, and
ut the same time advocating u policy
that brings the American workman into
competition with the products Of cheap
foreign labor. Applause and cries 81
"That's it."
The disastrous effects upon our work
ingmen and working women OF competi-
ton with cheap underpaid labor are not
obviated by keeping the cheap worker
over the sea il the product OF his cheap
labor is allowed free competition with
the products Of underpaid labor abroad,
rs well us against the coming to our
shores OF paupers and laborers under
contract and the Chinese. Enthusiastic
These two thoughts are twin thoughts.
The same logic supports both, and the
Republican party holds them us the dull
OF one great argument.

Alleged Opposition of Mr.. Blaine to tho
Senate Passing Tariff BIII.

Alleged Opposition of MIR. Blaine to tho
Senate Passing n Tariff DilI.
NEw YORK, August ia Washing
ton special to the Herald says: There
will probably be no Senate tariff bill
after all. Mr.. Blaine has been heard
from and he wants the issue made dis
tinct between what he calls Protection
and Free Trade. Ho does not want it
clouded by the necessity OF defending
Republican bill. These views are not
publicly avOwed, but there is good rea-
son for believing they represent Mr..
Blaine's wishes. His opinion is said to
have been made known to the Republic
can Senators by mutual friend and that
friend is reported to be Senator Eugene
Hale, Of Maine, who has Just returned
to Washington after u conference with
Mr.. Blaine in New York. Senator His
cock, OF New York, one of these who has
been hard at work on the Senate bill,
also had a walk with Mr.. Blaine OH Sat
urday, and his enthusiasm for carrying
through bill was suddenly dampened.
Senators Allison, Jones and the other
active tariff workers shut up like clans
when asked when their bill is to be
ready and intimate that they know
nothing about it.

Yesterday evening the parlors Of the
Stamm House were thronged with ladies'
and members OF the Sons OF Veterans
who called to pay their respects to the
Ladies' Aid. 1t was brilliant scene,
with the gaily uniformed "Sons," many
OF whom were in full regimentals,
and the richly costumed ladies, the ma
jority OF whom are quite young. 1t
was an assemblage Of youth and beauty
and chivalry such rs has seldom been
witnessed in Wheeling. Some of the
older members OF the Ladies' Aid acted
as chaperones for their younger sisters,
notably Mrs. Major Davis, wife OF the
