bride was attended by her mother and her
cousin, w. B. Mckinley. the groom going
IL alone. The marriage ceremony was per
formed yesterday afternoon by Rev. Charles
Stanley, rector of ST. Pauls Episcopal
church. Young Cannon is the son Of one of
the leading men of Danville, who is a
millionaire. He has been counting Miss
Jane for a long time, but the old folks re-
fused to allow them to marry, claiming
that they were both too young. The mother
of the bride happened to be in Milwaukee
last week undergoing treatment for her
eyes, and during her absence Miss Jane
suddenly left home and went to Jackson
vile, Ia, where she remained with friends.
The next heard of her was the latter part
of last week, when she walked inoon her
mother, who was stopping at the Kirby
house. Then next Orville Cannon bobbed
up serenely and informed Mrs Mckinley
he had clipped with Miss Jane and intended
to marry her. Then he pleaded his case
and Mrs. Mckinley relented, only stipulat-
ing that Mr.. Mckinley should be informed.
This was done by wire, but instead of the
old gentleman, the cousin appeared. he also
weakened when young Mr.. Cannon talked
to him, and the result was the marriage.
The giddy young pair will remain in Mil
waukee week aud then return to Dan

Three New stories About rasrott.

CHICAGO, Sept 29.-Three brand now
Tascott stories made their appearance to-
day. They all purport to solve the mys
terry of Millionaire Smells murder, but
agree only in conveying the impression
that Tascott was not the real criminal.
The most important of the three nara
tives, quotes as authority an alleged we'll
known lawyer, whose name is withheld.
He says he was consulted professionally
the day after the murder by one of the two
men who did the killing, James Gillian, an
ex-convict now dead. TasCOtt's connection
with the case is explained IN this version by
the statement that Gillian had hidden his
plumber IN Tascott's room during the lat
ter's absence from the city. The sensa-
tional feature of the story is the uuquali-
fled statement that Gillian on his deathbed
at the county hospital six months ago,
made a full confession of the crime
to Father j. Sullivan, of st. Jarlath's
Catholic church. a dramatic account of
the alleged details us to Father Sullivan'S
honor and stricken appearance after learn
ing the secret are given, accompanied by
descriptions of the holy peace that imme-
diately appeared on the face of the dying
convict. Father Sullivan was seen to- day
and emphatically denied the story in toto,
one of the other two stories had it that
the millionaire was slain by pair of toughs
who were hired by mysterious third
party.
The third tale is to the effect that pro
fessiOnal burglars, whose identity has not
even been limited ut, killed Smell as an in
cideut in the course OF their professional
career, and have since disposed of Tascott,
against whom suspicion was uniustly di-
rected.
The trimmings of this article ara that
Tascott was an illegitimate son; that after
the tragedy he was hidden for months in
his mothers house, disguised as 4 servant
girl, and was taken by her to the Pacific
coast. The conclusion is in the nature Of q
vague suggestion that he was subsequently
killed by the real criminals in Alaska.
Tonight the Gillian story was exploded,
even more thoroughly than it had been by
Father Sullivan. a sergeant at the West
Lake street police station showed, by ref
erence to his records, that the man said to
have confessed the murder was at the time
of the crime safe under lock and key in
cell many blocks from the mansion of the
ll-fated millionaire.

General Grants Tomb.

| Especial to THE HRRALD-Examiner Dispatch.
NEW YORK, Sept 3O.-In response to a
cablegram from the World that the press
was agitating the removal of General
Grants body to Washington or Illinois,
Colonel Fred Grant writes the World from
Vienna, where the generals widow Is now
visiting About a week before the generals
death, Fred writes, he handed Fred paper
containing directions for his funeral It
recited that the family had burial lot in
St. Louis and another at Galena, but also
that he was attached to New York and her
generous people. Fred suggested Wash
| ington Then his father took back the
paper, tore it up, and wrote this note: at
| is possible my funeral may become one of
public demonstration, in which event I
have no particular choice of burial place,
but there is one thing would wish you and
the family to insist upon, and that is that
wherever my tomb may be, place shall be
reserved for your mother at my side"
Fred then proceeds to tell how offers
were received from many quarters after
his fathers death The family chose New
York because it was accompanied by the
guarantee which the general desired and
which was repeated in 4 parting letter left
for his wife and family. Fred adds they
are ready to accede to any plan for tomb
which the nation may decide ia best,
provided. of course, that his fathers OK
pressed wish be carried out.

Fears for the Rush at vietorIa.

CHICAGO, Sept. ga special to the Time,
from Ottawa, Ont, says; British Columbia
advices state that on her way south shortly
the United States cruiser Rush will call al
Victoria and il is feared trouble will arise
between the crews of the sliced sealing
schooners and their friends and the crew
of the Rush if the latter attempts to anchor
in the harbor. The crews of the sealers
who are now nearly all congregated at Vic
toria, are in the widest state of excite
meut over the loss and confscation of their
summers work, and state if they cannot
get redress through the British govern
ment, they will take it out of the United
States cutter that stole their sealskins. il
she puts into Victoria. The militia is to be
held ready to put down and prevent any
attack on the cutter. although there is the
rougher element of Victoria who would
join the indignant sealers seeking their
revenge

their obligations to the government at ma
turity. 1t is the. commissioners opinion
that it would be wise for Congress to pass
an act giving a reasonable extension of
time, reducing the rate of interest to three
or four per cent? requiring that earnings
from all government transactions by the
subsidized companies on all lines operate
by them. whether aided or non-aided, should
be applied to the payment of any iE-
terests or principal due, or should become
due. within the fiscal year within which
services might be rendered; prohibiting
the payment of any dividends by the subsi-
died companies, unless such company shall
have paid all the interest on all of its
bonded debt having lien prior to the
government, and all matured Indebtedness
and interest then due, and of such percent
age of the gross earnings of the subsidized
lines as by careful estimates would realize
sums sufficient to pay the accruing interest
and raise a sinking fund that would equal
the principal of the debts at their maturity.
Said companies should also be permitted to
refund their first mortgage bonds under
such provisions as would prevent any in
crease in the debt which is allowed priority
over the debt due the United States.
The commissioner makes recommends
tionS for amendments of various kinds,
among them one that all accounts of these
railroads be rendered through his office in
stead of going direct I" the different de-
partments, as in the past, as he says it is
important that there should be some bureau
of the government in which can be found
full information as to the accounts between
the bonded railroads and the United States
There are now millions of unsettled bills
pigeon holed in various departments of the
treasury, and it is due to the railroad conf
panies that these accounts be promptly ad-
justed and that such sums as are legally
theirs be credited or paid them. 1t is also
to the interest of the government to know
the exact condition of its accounts with
these companies.

Ex-oueen Natalie in Belgrade.

BELGRADE, Sept %. Ex-Queen Natalie
arrived to-day. Her presence was totally
ignored by government officials, but she
was received most enthusiastically by the
crowds that thrOnged the streets through
which she passed. The reception was spOI-
taneous and the enthusiasm of the people
was indescribable. 1t is estimated there
were 80, 900 persons in the streets. After a
brilliant triumphal progress to her resi-
dence, the ex-Queen was obliged to appear
on the balcony to respond to the plaudits Of
the multitude. This evening the city was
Illuminated, and thrOng of citizens in the
streets singing national hymns. The Rus
sian minister and all the attaches OF the
Russian embassy visited the ex Queen, re-
manning half an hour. The palace gates
were closed during the day and guarded by
troops.

New YORK, Sept. 30-The grand jury
finished it's investigation of the Flack di-
vorce case at noon to-day. Foreman Eos
dick read presen tment which stated that
the jury was satisfied there was wicked
conspiracy; that such conspiracy could be
carried out under cover of law was of great
public concern. The jury called the atten-
ton of the legislature to the pernicious
system of appointing referees to take
testimony in divorce cases. The testimony
should be taken by judges in open court, as
the harm which would be done by the pub
licity of such evidence would be far less
than that which ,befalls when things are
done in secret. sit is obvious" runs the
presentment, ''that the decree of d..
vorce could not have been obtained
without the sanction of Judge BOokstaveT {;
that sanction was partly obtained by deceit
and imposture, and partly either by judicial
negligence or judicial collision; if by negli-
gence, it was such as was ineXcusable; if by
collision, it such was as was criminal. We
have not determined which. Lawyer
Wright, while it might be said he intended
no wrong, still deserved censure. Ambrose
Mcneil and Joseph Weeks, it was thought,
had imposed on the court and had obtained
the divorce by collision, decit and fraud.
The presentment concluded by stating
the Jurors had come to the conclusion that
wicked and criminal conspiracy had been
committed and the persons whose names
appeared on the accompanying indictments
deserved to be treated according to law.
District Attorney Fellows stated this
evening that the following persons were
indicted in connection with the Flacb con-
spiracy case and would be in court to-
morrow to plead: Sheriff Flack, William
L. Flack, his son George, Ambrose Mcneil,
counsel for the sheriff, Joseph Weeks,
referee in the divorce proceedings, Mrs.
Raymond, correspondent in the case, and
George Hart, brother-in-law Of the sheriff.

Politics in the New States.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 30.-To morrow the cleo
tors of the Dakotas, Montana AID Washing
ton will announce their approval of the
alton by their respective conventions.
South Dakota and Washington have been
having it lively and have had bitter time
over the location of their state capitals. In
Washington it requires majority to settle
the matter, and it will not be settled until
later ele ction. In South Dakota the con-
test has developed all the elements of Bit
terness that are to be found in any close
and exciting campaign, and accusations OF
fraud have been growing more frequent as
the daY for the election drew
nearer. To-day there are still six cities in
the race with Pierre and Huron in the lead.
These same places were in the front four
years ago and Huron won both.
As to the situation in Washington, dis
patch from Tacoma says the fight between
the two parties has been largely waged ON
the tariff issues, with the passage of the
constitution, state capital question, and
adoption of the prohibitory and
woman. suffrage plan as coming III
as side issues. : The Republicans
prophesy the election of their entire ticket
with maiorities ranging anywhere between
1900 and 10000 The Democrats have con-
ceded the election of of Ferry for governor
aud Wilson for Congressman, but claim
division of the supreme court judgeships.
The Republican chairman claims the legis-
lature will be Republican on joint ballot by
a majority of thirty. On the other hand,
the Democrats claim the legislature on joint
ballot by ten. The Prohibitionists and the
more radical of the Woman SuffragistS
have been working for the defeat of the
constitution rather than for the adoption of
the separate clauses in their interest, as
they have no hope of carrying the same
Both of the Dakotas will probably elect
Republican officers, although that is not so
sure in North as in South Dakota. State
prohibition will undoubtedly win i'll South
Dakota, but the other twin will probably
vote against it.
Montana is claimed by both parties, with
indications slightly in favor of the Demo-
