Concealed the Money i'm Cartridge Shells

DEATH-BED CONFESSION OF THE ALLEGED WIFE
OF THE ROCK ISLAND TRAIN RoBBER.
The death-bed confession of Ella Schwartz,
alleged wife of the brakeman now serving
long sentence in Joliet for completely in the
great Rock Island train robbery and the muir
der of Express Messenger Kellogg Nichols, was
made public i'll Chicago Sunday. According to
Mrs. Schwartz, her husband gave her S13,5OO
of the stolen money, which she concealed by
rolling the bills up one by one at the time and
packing them in cartridge shells. This money,
it is alleged was subsequently, on an order
from Schwartz. turned over to Colonel W. p.
Bowman. of Philadelphia, Schwartz's lawyer.
An interview with Detective w. A. Pinkerton
is printed relating conversations in prison with
Schwartz and the latters comrade, Newton
Watt. which, if true, would corroborate in a
measure the charge against Lawyer Bowman.
PinkertOn is also quoted having accused
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
last few days.
Col. Bowman was seen in Philadelphia yes
terday and again declared the story of the
woman to be false. He said he had been en-
gagged by Schwartz's father, who resides in
Philadelphia. to go to Chicago to defend the
young man; that he never received penny
outside of his fee and he did not get all of this

Wolves and Flies.

From Notes and Queries
When visiting friend last summer he called
my attention to curious plan for preventing
the plague of flies in his house. The upper
sash of one of the windows in his sitting-room
being open for ventilation, there was suspended
outside piece of common fishing-net. NV
friend told me that not fly would venture to
pass through it. He has watched for an hour
at time, and seen swarms fly to within few
inches of the net, and then, after buzzing about
for little, depart. He told me the flies would
pass through the net if there was thorough
hght-that is, another window in the opposite
wall. Though the day was very warm. did
not see single fly in the room during my visit
though elsewhere in the town they were to be
seen in abundance. l suppose they imagine
the net to be spiders web. or some other
trap intended for their destruction.
My friend mentioned the curious fact that in
Russia no wolves will pass under telegraph
wires. and that the government are utilizing
this valuable discovery, and already clearing
districts of the country from these brutes.

CRIME IN PHILADELPHIA,
A Married Man Shoots aYoung Girl, Cuts
His Wife's TmO II and Kills Himself.

Shortly before Ii O'Clock Saturday night an
unknown woman, subsequently identified as
Anna Klaus, aged nineteen years, who lived at
No. 1887 north I'd street. was found unconscious
on the pavement on Hope street, between
Montgomery avenue and Berke street, in Phila-
delphia, with pistol-shot wound over her left
eye. Soon after the young woman died with
out gaining consciousness.
About 2 o'clock Sunday morning Henry
Klaus, father of the girl, having become
alarmed at his daughters absence, visited the
central police station and furnished a descrip-
ton of the girl This tailed with the muir
dered girls appearance, and the father upon
going to the eighteenth district station was
Mortified to find his child corpse. The body
was removed to Klaus home. and detectives
were assigned to discover the perpetrator of
the deed
An all-night search revealed several female
friends of the dead girl. and from them the
information was obtained that she had been
keeping company with conductor on the I'd
and Sd streets railway. who was known as Tom
Linn. but no such person could be found. Fur
ther inquiry revealed the idendity of Linn" as
Otto hayser, twenty-five years of age, who
lived with his wife and two children at Ken
sington and Lehigh avenues.
AS he had been seen in her company the po-
lice suspected that he was the murderer and
went to his house to arrest him. As no replies
came to their repeated knocking the officers
were about to break open the door, when it
was hastily opened and they were met by a
woman in her night clothing, with blood
streaming from her throat and baby in her
arms. She directed the officers to the second
story, where, stretched on the bed, with a
razor at his side, lay Kayser, the blood pouring
from wound in the neck. Mrs. kayser was
removed to the hospital, but Kayser died be-
fore an ambulance could reach him.
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 a razor, and
after making an Intellectual attempt to kill his
wife by cutting her throat, he ended his own
life with the same weapon.
The most plausible story of the affair is that
hayser had been keeping company with Miss
Klaus under an assumed name, and that she
had discovered the real truth of the matter,
and having met him while on her way home
from the bakers's last night threatened him
with exposure. He thereupon shot her and
went home. Rather than submit to arrest he
killed himself. Mrs. Kayser's wounds, though
dangerous, are not necessarily fatal.

tits stated in London that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, permanent under-secretary Of state for
the foreign office, has been appointed British
minister to the United States. Although the
report is not officially confirmed, it is credited
at the foreign Office. The appointment is ere

circles, as departure from the rule of success
sion in appointments according to rank in the
service.
Sir Julian Pauncefote is a lawyer, not dip
lomat, and was never attached to any embassy.
He was appointed to his present post on ac-
count of his extensive knowledge of the legal
bearings Of treaties. As his present salary is
only fAOO0 yearly, the new appointment is a
very desirable one, the salary of the minister
at Washington being $4,000. Sir Julian
Pauncefote married Miss Selma Cubitt, daugh-
ter OF the late Major Cubitt, and has family.
Among officials he has reputation for shrewd-
ness He has quiet, amiable manners, allied

For the last three weeks Emma Phillips, the
pretty seventeen-year-old daughter of vantyne
Phillips, at Canandaigua, N. Y, has been kept
locked in her room because of the attentions of
young Frank Pixley, with whom she had fallen

The watchful farmer frustrated it, and the girl
tried to poison herself, but without success.
Young Pixley tried the elopement scheme again
Friday night. With rope made of bed clothes,
the girl dropped from her chamber window.
The couple disappeared and no trace has been
found of them. A former suitor of the girl
named Frank Farrar, shot himself when he
heard of the affair.

Robert Garrett Breaking Down.

THE INSANE MILLIONAIRE HAS FEW RATIONAL
MOMENTS NOW.
From the New York World.
Robert Garrett, the insane millionaire, is
still closely confined in the Miller mansion, at
Ringwood, N. j., and constantly watched by
his attendants. He spends most of his time in
the grounds surrounding the Miller villa. At
times he is rational, but those periods are rare
Mr.. Garrett is not permitted to see friends or
relatives. As soon as he sees any one other
than his attendants he becomes violent and
abusive. 1t is evident that the mental disease
from which Mr.. Garrett is suffering is gradu-
ally breaking him down. He suffers a great
deal. His eyes have become weak and at
times have wild look. His voice is failing
him. When he speaks it has cultural sound
His walk is very unsteady at times.
vi late MIR. Garrett is permitted to look over
the daily papers. On one occasion he CHANGED
to see report of his condition, which said he
was improving. 1t was one of his lucid mo-
ments. He read it with much interest With
a smile on his face he remarked to his attend
ants: ''See, 1 am getting better. The news
papers say So"
The patient sometimes speaks of the late w.
Fl. Vanderbilt. With much feeling he refers to
his death. The peculiar circumstances in
which Mr.. Garrett was placed at the time of
MIR. Vanderbilts death often recur to the mind
OF the demented man. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Garrett and Mr.. Vanderbilt were in
consultation on railroad affairs at the latter's
house when Mr.. Vanderbilt suddenly dropped
dead. This is said to have had a serious effect
upon Mr.. Garrett. Mr.. Garrett also frequently
refers to Mr.. Jay Gould He recounts, in an
excited manner, the business transactions that
he and Mr.. Gould had before he became IN
sane. He labors under the hallucination that
Mr.. Gould is serving long term of imprison-
ment, and believes he had Mr. Gould arrested
and sent to prison. Every precaution is taken
to avoid any publicity. All papers arriving at
the house are closely read and anything per-
tanning to Mr.. Garrett is cut out. The papers
are then sent to the servants quarters. This
is to prevent the servants from knowing too
much about Mr.. CARROTS condition or affairs.
They seldom IL ever him

EVILS OF MIXED MARRIAeEs.-Rey. Edmund
Didier, pastor Of St. Vincents Catholic church.
Baltimore, Md, surprised his congregation in
his sermon yesterday morning by the views he
expressed regarding the evils of mixed mar
riages. He said that after careful investiga
of his parish he had learned that Catholic
young men spent too much time in idleness and
in the saloons, and that many young women of
the church believed that Protestant young men
for this reason made better husbands. Catholic
young men, on the other hand, complained
that girls Of their own church were too extray-
agant and high toned. He regretted that the
young women of his parish were thus COM
PEELED to go outside the church to obtain good
husbands.

done so.

not be heavy buyer of yearlings 'What

to about fifteen or twenty good horses. That
number would give an owner all he wants to

if one enters his animals in the stakes he piles
up against himself list of forfeits that is
simply enormous, and one which eats up about
quarter of his profits. If it was possible to
do so would only buy developed horses and
let yearllngs alone altogether. But the trou-
bic is that the two-year-olds are liable to get
INTO the hands of gentlemen who will not sell,
Ike Mr.: Belmont. Mr.. Cassatt, Mr.. Galway,
Senator Hearst, and others, who can afford to
refuse any offer. so that can't clearly see the
