a Brutal Murder.

BosToN, May "A prominent real estate
dealer named Luke #. III Holman, last even
ing, was al rested for conspiring to have
his sister murdered. The intended victim,
Emeline Holman, resides in Worcester
and owns considerable property, and it was
for the purpose of getting this into his
hands that Holman conceived the plan.
He made arrangements with two men to
do the job, but they betrayed him to the
police. He was arragned this afternoon
and placed under S25, 600 to answer.
In an interview with Chief inspector
Hanscomb, Holman said he did not think
he was doing anything that would render
hipls lisRle to punishment. II though the
bisSHEnQuld all rest upon the man who
.2E83bb said he. II did not think it
would get me mixed up any more than hir-
ing man to cut wocd The first man he
approached on the subject informed the po-
lice and two police officers, disguised az
roughs, conducted negotiations until they
had conclusive evidence against Holman
including his promissory note for 81 900.
Holman declares that the whole affair is a
conspiracy of enemies of his, who led him
on to these negotiations in order to get him
into trouble. He says certain unnamed
persons suggested to him some months ago
10 have his sister robbed OF certain papers.
This failed and they suggested to him that
his sister be killed They agreed to find a
man to do the job. and few days agoa

that the assassin had been found He
came on to Boston and negotiations which
led to his arrest followed. He said to the
detective who was playing the part of IA
lnur derer for hire that he wanted to have
Miss Emeline put out of the way He told
the officer where she lived and gave him
the key to her room and handed him her
picture and told him on which side of the
bed she gen orally lay, she having a lady
room mate, and also gave him the plan of
the room. He also suggested that there

yrhe murderer was to receive $1,000. His
reason for wanting his sister put out of the
tway was that he feared she was going to be
pnarried and that he would lose all the
property.

Considerable Inquiry is being made as
to which side of the river this road will
build into the city. Several lines of sur

adopted which is the most practical, all
things being considered, A disposition
on the part OF one or two property owners
along the proposed line on either side OF
the river to charge more than their pro-

to select the road on the opposite side. In

How Sullivan Amused Himself
on Board Ship.

BosToN, APril 29.-[Special to the Chica-
30 Tribune. There have been score of
sensational stories about town ever since
Puiiivan's return from England relative to
bis conduct on shipboard. From these it
would seem that Sullivan took practical
eontrol of the Catalonia and made things
onerry for the other passengers.
sullivan seems to have come most In con-
hectiOn on shipboard with the petty otli-
fers and stewards. He was angry with the
fause they refused to allow his friends
xhere On board to bid him farewell. This
Rod was deepened by the position Of
etateroom. which was next that of a
kgyman, the Rev. w. s. Manley, u. re-
,rning missionary, who had four small
children. John and the parson struck fire
n once. The parsons children chartered
y Johns discomfort. John indulged freely
y profane and gross language, to the par
pms horror. They first struck fire how
yer in theological discussion relative to
heaven and hell. So emphatic and free
fere Johns statements that the Clergyman
led precipitately. John seated Mr.. Manley
D chair and placed two matches before
I'm saying that one was heaven and the
tther hell.
Now, Mr.. Manley. where do you think
will go?" said John.
ITO Heaven, hope, Mr. Sullivan"
No you DON'T. you old fool. I've got q
vcket straight through to hell. If you are
man YOU will put the gloves on when we
beet there"
John also told the parson that if he
fiidn't keep his lank boats quiet he would
eak them In two and throw then; over
pard." This was inspired by the fact that
Pc parson had entered complaints of Johns
Hnguage In his cell to Capt. Willie.

Pcket, with the expression, Here she

oes," deliberately smashed 1t against the

goes, ueilDerateiy smashed IL against the
bar.
John fell beneath one OF the boats. When
he attempted to rise the keel struck him in
the back. Your the first man who dared
hit me when I'm down" he blurted.
Mrs. Sullivan was Jealous of John on the
way over, and sent the stewardess several
times to see what company he was in. "l'll
let them know" said she, that there Is u
Mrs. Sullivan" John. to show his author
ity over her, took pet canary bird, tore 1t
in pieces and threw 1t overheard.
Waiter Spencer, one OF the cabin passen-
gers says that he doesn't wish Sullivan for
q fellow passenger again. Mr.. Spencer is
an elderly dignifed gentleman of wealth,
who doesn't make acquaintance freely.
He told friend that John tried to force
his acquaintance upon him on the trip
over. He asked MIR. Spencer to drink, but
the latter turned and left him at the bar.
A few minutes later Sullivan appeared
ON the deck. Approaching Spencer
he said, "--you, I'll hang you when
W. get ashore" Mr.. Spencer. though
small man, threw his head back and, looked
the pugli list in the eye, and Sullivan walked
of, cursing.
The passengers sought to have Capt.
Wiley put him in irons, but he sought to
settle the matter without resorting to that.

The Blaine Boom begins.

'WVPHTLADELPHIA, May 4,-The Times will
publish Tomorrow the following triple
leaded special from New York, which it
va endorse as coming direct rom the
most authentic source: New York, May
TT have entirely reliable information
that the friends of Blaine have, within the
last three days, received direct from him
his assent to an aggressive movement for
surance that II he is nominated In the face
OF his Florence letter of declination he
would not feel at liberty to decline, A
general and systematic effort has been
made by Blaines 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 pe sive candidate.
The Washington conference was only
part of the varied methods by which intu-
ences have been brought 70 bear upon
Blaine and his publication OF his
PORTRAIT FRESHLY TAKEN
from life In Italy, and issued by Judge
this week was decided on more than
month ago as starting point for the effort
to make Blaine O candidate. Every posi-
ble pressure has been put on Blaine to get
from him the direct assurance that he will
not decline il nominated, and that assur.
Wecep has been received in this city from
me within the last three days. In a
vsqy few days it will cease to be secret that
Blaine Is in the hands of his friends, and
the Blaine leaders will at once come to the
front and make an aggressive campaign for
his renominaticn This movement has
been pretty clearly foreshadowed for some
weeks In such Blaine organs as the Tribune
of this city. and the Philadelphia Press, and
all affectation about Baine's candidacy
will now soon be thrown off and the battle
made an aggressive one. Part of the orig
inal program me was the election of Charles
Emery Smith
AS DELEGATE AT LARGE
from your state and the failure was a great
disappointment to theBlaine junta, in this
city, but Mr.. Smith gives assurance that
Blaine can command majority of the
Pennsy lvania delegation under any circum-
stances, and that if Bane's nomination
will be solid for him. The un-
and Vermont for Blaine were not
Blaine's friends. when all of the anti
Blaine men were reposng on their arms
because they regarded Blaine as out OF the
fight the friends of Blaine were most ener.
getic in their work in the two anti Blaine
New England States and they got posses
f1&pn OF Vermont and Massachusetts while
others were sleepingin fancied security.
tt<was the expression OF three anti-Blaine
New England states that made Blaine cast
aside his doubts and assent to the impor-
tunities of his friends for his denomination.
1t Is now positive fact that Blaine is in
the field, and that his friends have his as
sent to q movement in his iavSr and that he
will be nominated at Chicago IL harmonious
work and plenty of enthusiasm can accom-
plish 1t.

The matter of the nuisance at 62 Union street, so often complained of, came up again. The property is owned by Nr. Geary, but his tenants misuse it an it is in bad condition. The board will take steps to improve it's condition from sanitaty point of view. President Brewer took occasion to remark that plumbers do not seem to have got into the way a plumbing tenement houses as they ought to. The tenement house laws in this State ars very meagre and will not bear comparison with the New York law.

 bel's New Machine.
 Machines for the manufacture of ice have long interested scientists and inventors and have in some parts of the country been put to practical use for some time. But the first machine to be set in operation in the little State of Connecticut was started about 6 week ago by Joseph Weibel, the Oak street brewer. Mr. Weibel has set up at great ex- pense 8 machine which manufactures from two thousand to three thousand pounds of ice daily. It is no longer an experiment with NIT. Weibel, but a permanent institution, and will doubtless yield him handsome profit on his investment. A reporter yester- day placed his hands on some of the pipes belonging to the apparatus and they became numb with the cold in few minutes. MT. Weibel entertained visitors yesterday from New York and New Orleans, and the people were deeply interested in the working of the new machine of low temperature. The genial brewer is to ship five hundred kegs of beer to New Orleans weekly.
