elect Harrison had the Sabbath free from
political conferences or callers. 1t can
now be positively stated that Allison has
declined the profered position in the
Cabinet, and his letter of leclination has
been received by General Harrison and
accepted as final. The disappointment
to the General was a severe one, but ii
was of short duration, and it is now
stated that he has found man who fills
the requirements equal to Senator Alli-
son. He is Western man and it is be-
lieved he is not at present in official life.
While everything pertaining to the cab
met is mere speculation at this stage,
there are grounds for asserting that
the President-elect has about
solved the great cabinet puzzle 80 far as
the most important positions are con-
cerned. The talk of w. M. Evarts for

THE DELUDED GIRL MURDERED

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispstches to the HERALD
PHILADELPHIA, February 3.-The find
ing of the murdered woman in the
northeastern section of the city, with q
bullet wound in the head, at midnight,
last night, has led to terrible tragedy.
About 2 o'clock this morning Henry
Klaus, becoming alarmed at his daugh-
ter's absence, went to the police station
to report the fact. He was Mortified to
find that the murdered girl was his
daughter Anna, aged 10. Inquiry among
Miss Klaus friends revealed the fact
that she had been keeping company with
a street car conductor known as Tom
Linn, but no such person could be
found. Further inquiry revealed the iden-
tity Of Linn as Otto Kayser % years of
age. Otto lived with his wife and two
children at Kensington and Lehigh ave-
nues. The police suspected he was the
murderer and went to his house to arrest
him. AS no replies came to their repeat
ed knocks, the officers were abont to
bgeak open the door when it was hastily
opened and they were met by woman
in her night clothing, with blood stream
ing from her throat and baby in her
arms. In the bedroom stretched on the
bed. with razor at his side, lay Kayser,
blood pouring from fatal wound in his
neck. The circumstances surrounding
the case were fully convincing that
Kayser was the murderer OF Miss
Klaus, and when he saw the
officers coming to arrest him
he seized razor and after making
an Intellectual attempt to kill his wife he
ended his own life with the same weapon.
The most plausible story of the affair is
that Kayser, who passed himself off as
an unmarried man, had been keeping
company with Miss Klaus under an as-
sumed name and she had discovered the
real truth Of the matter and, having met
him while on her way home from the
bakery last night, threatened him With
exposure. He therenpon shot her and,
rather than submit to arrest, killed him
self. Mrs. Kayser's wounds, though
dangerous, are not necessarily fatal.

CHICAGO, February 3.-The deathbed
confession of Ella Schwartz, wife of a
brakeman now serving long sentence
in Joliet for completely in the great
Rock Island train robbery and the muir
der of the express messenger, Kellogg
Nichols, is made public to-day. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Schwartz, her husband
gave her $4,000 of the stolen money,
which she concealed by rolling the bills
up, one at time, and packing
them in cartridge shells. This
money, it is alleged, was subse-
auently, on an order from Schwartz,
turned over to Colonel P. Bowman, of
Philadelphia, Schwartz's lawyer. An in
terview with Detective w. A. Pinkerton
is printed, relating to conversations in
prison with Schwartz and the latter's
comrade, Newton Watt, which, if true,
charge against Lawyer Bowman. Pinker-
Bowman of receiving the stolen money.
The lawyer strenuously denied the
charge. Mrs. Schwartz was, some time
ago, repudiated by her husband. She
died of consumption within the past few
days. The expenses OF her funeral
were betrayed by thes Pinkertons, who
saw that the woman was cared for up to
the time of her death.

California Brandy.

Messrs. Walden & Co., of Philadelphia,

greater facilities in the sale and distribu

These gentlemen for third Of cen
tury have been known all through the
country as the leading importers in oul
sister city. They early became i'm
pressed with the fact that the ravages ot
the phylloxera in the French vineyards
must be made up elsewhere, or brandy
would at last cease to be an article o.
commerce, except, perhaps, in limite1
quantities at very high prices. After
thorough investigation they became con
vinced thatin certain parts of California
by using proper grapes and exercising
due care and intelligence in the process
a brandy could be made there superior
to any but the best growths of the
Charentes.
They thave therefore for the last eight
years devoted themselves largely to the
development of this industry, and are
now the largest producers of real brandy
in California, their dstillery in Geyser.

in obtaining recognition of real quality
