Alleged Violence.

Woman Drops Dead From the Effects Of
Alleged Violence.
Last evening James Hanney was arrested
on charge Of murder. based on the state
ment that he had kicked and beaten q
woman named Kate Donovan, last Thurs
day, on Jones avenue, on the hill near
Twenty-sixth street. Hanney was placed in
the Central station, and Daniel Welsh,
Mary Welsh, Peter Beams, who owns the

to the morgue, where a close examination
failed to show any external marks Of
violence, except a slight abrasion on the
right hip, which was evidently a very old
mark. The remains looked very emaci-
ated, and the opinion of several people
present was that death was caused from alco-
holism and want of nutrition. Assistant
Superintendent of Police O'Mara, upon re-
ceiving the reports in the matter, ordered
the release of the people held as witnesses,
arriving at the same opinion as the people
who had viewed the woman's remains that
there was no murder in the case. A post
mortem examination of the remains will be
held this morning to ascertain if the woman
sustained any internal injuries which might
have caused her death. The house where
the woman lived and the witnesses also
put in their time is reported by the police
to be one of the flthiest places they ever in
vestigated.

MONTREAL, November 21.-Apropos of
Brazil, quite number of French papers,
La PGtrie, lie Lecteur, Cdnadien and
Levenement declare this morning in favor Of
a Canadian Republic. The Herald, of this
city, the chief organ Of the Dominion oppo-
sition, says the English people are slow to
make constitutional changes, but adds that
it is unsafe to say what the force of example
and the increasing intercourse of Great
Britain and America, backed by the further
blackguardism of persons in high position,
might not do.
It would, of course, make no difference
whatever to Canada were the English mon
archy to give place to Republic, beyond
the impetus that such a change might give
to the train Of thought that leads thinker
to the conclusion that it is nearly time
Canada busted herself about her own in

DISGRACEFUL DEATH.
The Mystery Ofa Suicide ExpIaIned-R. II.
Payne Killed Himself in Preference
to Facing Certain Exposure
One Crime Leads to
Another.

One Crime Leads TO
Another.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
ST. LOUIS, November 21.-The motive
for the suicide of R. b. Payne, prominent
young st. Louis business man who put a
bullet through his head in q Jersey City
hotel on October 10, is no longer mystery.
When the news of the suicide was flashed to
this city the relatives and friends
of the unfortunate man could offer no
explanation. He was wealthy, and appar-
emily successful in business. A few days
after the suicide it was discovered that in
stead of being successful in business ven-
lures, disaster had followed him continu-
ously, and Of his fortune of 500, 900 moth
ing remained. The suicide was then attrib-
uted to his losses.
Mr.. Payne was administrator of the Payne
estate, the property of five minor heirs.
These heirs were children of his brother,
and their estate was worth $75, 900. After
Mr.. Payne's death W. v. Rutledge was ap-
pointed administrator of the Payne estate
To-day he completed the investigation,
begun a month ago, and announced that
the entire estate had been stolen and
swamped in speculation.
The scheme by which Payne succeeded in
dissipating the estate reflects seriously on
the St. Louis Probate courts. He filed a
petition from all the heirs asking for par
tition sale. The Court ordered the sale,
and appointed Rochester Ford, Payne's
partner, special commissioner. Payne repre-
sented himself as attorney for the heirs,
when in truth he was not, and bought the
entire estate from the special commissioner
for S40, ,000-about half what it was worth.
Then, instead of paying the money into
court, he secured an order that the special
commissioner pay the money over pro rata
to the heirs. Not 81 was paid to the spe-
cial commissioner, aud not 81 to the heirs,
and Payne had the property in his own
name.
He then secured loan of SAC, 900 from
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company on the property, and gave the
American Opera Glass Company a second
deed of trust for $25, ,OO0 secured loans from
local banks, amounting to $4,000, and lost
the entire sum in real estate, opera glass
and Wall street specializing. He invested
$40, 900 in the "dime-in-the-slot" opera glass
business, and the enterprise fell fiat.
Knowing that discovery would eventually
come, he went to New York and killed him
self. The widow and five children learned
for the first time tonight, that instead of
fortune of S10O, 200, which they supposed
they possessed, they were penniless. They
did not know that the sale had taken place.

Birmingham man has been experimenting for
a year on ametal resembling gold, ,and has his
discovery nearly perfected. He stumbled
on the combination at first while analyEing
some metals, and when he realized what he
had found he soon produced metal which
puzzles the best of jewellers. All
the aluminums before discovered are
lacking in weight or some other essential
point The new metal is as heavy as gold,
and to all appearances is the precious metal
ITSELF It can be manufactured at a cost of
about go cents pound, and will make the
best foundation for gold-plated goods that
can be found. 1t is easily worked, and can
be either hammered or drawn.
The metal is noeompound, it being only
one kind, reduced to its gold-like appear
ance by the application OF certain chemicals.
The inventor says there is no use in taking
out patent, as no one can discover the
secret of its manufacture by analyzing it.
