ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
ST. LOUIS, October 31.-Mrs. Almira
Monroe and her daughter. Mrs. Sarah Eliza
Davis, alleged to be respectively Mrs.
Bender and her daughter, Kate Bender, Of
the notorious family of murder fame in
Kansas, passed through the city this morn
ing, on their way to Labette county, Kan.
Deputy Sheriff L. f. Dick, Of Labette
county, had them in charge. While at the
Union depot they remained very quiet.
They went into the dining room and took
breakfast in company with the deputy, and
remained seated at the table for nearly an
hour. Then they went into the ladies' wait
ing room and remained there until
their train was made up, when they
entered it, and they did not leave the car
after that. While at the depot they posi-
lively refused to talk to anybody.
Mrs. Mccain, of Lansing, Mich, was also
in the party. 1t was through detective
work performed by her that the women were
arrested. She is a daughter of one of the
Bender victims. The prisoners declare she
is not in her right mind, and that there is
nothing in the charges preferred by her.
Deputy Sheriff Dick is we'll acquainted
with the crimes of the Blenders, he having
unesrthed the first corpse discovered in the
secret burial ground of the family in
Kansas. He is confident the pair are Mrs.
Bender and the friend, Kate.
The Kansas officer kept his presence in
Michigan very quiet, and nothing was
known of it, except by the authorities, until
he arrested the two women and was ready to
take the train and leave the State. Quite
scene occurred when he made the arrest
Mrs. Monroe made vigorous resistance and
declared she would not be taken alive; she
would die in her tracks first. Deputy Sher-
iff Earl. of Niles, forced her into carriage,
however, and she was taken down to the
depot. There her mind changed completely
She became very cool and calm, and treated
the whole matter as huge joke. Her
daughter had little to say She stated that
her mother was Mrs. Bender. but denied that
she herself was Kate Bender. She said she
was another sister. and that when the proper
time came she would make full disclosures.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHI
NEW CASTLE, October SL-The Western
New York and Philadelphia Railroad has noti-
fed the citizens Of New Castle that from this
on the road will give no rate for east Of Oil
City. The Western New York and Philsdel-
phia has been using the Franklin branch of the
Lake Shore road, and the latter has Withdrawn
the contract made with the Western New York
and Philadelphia. The notice takes effect to-
morrow morning. 1t is thought the passenger
trains will be taken off in a few DAYS. The
Western New York and Philadelphia is now
surveying a route between Stoneboro and
Franklin, and claim to be able to build the 30
miles of track necessary in less than 80 days.
The closing out of relations has placed freight
business in New Castle in complicated condi-
ton. Notice was received by Agent Thurston,
of this city, this evening to clear his road of all
freight billed east of Oil City by midnight.
The Pennsylvania Company delivers 80 cars per
day to the Western, New York and Philadel-
phia, the Pittsburg and Lake Erie the same,
and the Pittsburg and Western like amount
This order leaves those roads in bad shape as
the cars for east of Oil City are arriving on
Western New York and Philadelphia has sent
out all passenger engines and shifters with
freight trains bound for Oh City and the agent
thinks he can have the road clear by the time
specified. For the present the Pennsylvania
Company will send freight for east of Oil City
via Erie on the P1ttsburg and Lake Erie, and
the Lake Shore, and FIttsbUrg and Western
via Painesville. The passenger trains will re-
ceive new orders tomorrow

New CASTLE, October 31.-Miss Suda
Reynolds, daughter of ex-County Treasurer
James Reynolds, and Mr.. n elson Cooper, a
prominent business man of Haysville, Della
ware county, this State, were married this
evening in the presence of numerous invited
guests. There is quite little romance be-
hind this announcement. A year ago Miss
Reynolds noticed an advertisement in a
Philadelphia paper of "Wanted, a corre-
spondent" She wrote to the address given
and received letter from Mr.. Cooper. The
letters proved attractive TO each, and one day
last summer Mr.. Cooper arrived in this city
without the knowledge of Miss Reynolds to see
her without becoming known to her.
His investigations proved satisfactory, and
he went home madly in love. Upon her invita-
tion he came to the city second time, and an
engagement was made, and the wedding this
evening Is the result Mr.. and Mrs Cooper
will reside in Haysville, and have left for that

1t is a fair. enough objec-

That the Bulletins Brought
From Thousands.

II anyone doubted the enthusiasm of each
side, and the interest taken by the general pub
lie in the result of the amendment campaign.
he should have been on Fifth avenue last night
and have seen the surgfng crowd Of Ants and
Pros eagerly watching for the returns 1t was
a sight only witnessed heretofore on the
night of Presidential election, and not alto
gether paralleled by such an event. The claims
of big majorities by the Antis, and assurance
that the victory was already won, had led
many to believe that public enthusiasm over
the returns would be lacking, but such were
overwhelmingly surprised, as shout after shout
early in the evening, and until after midnight,
made Fifth avenue and other sections of the
city ring as the returns were posted on the
boards
Early in the evening the crowd gathered its
center resting in front Of THE DISPATCH
office, showing the reputation of that paper for
the earliest and most reliable news. Stretch.
ing up and down the street in either direction,
the crowd ended in small knots, like the tail of
a comet before the other dailies. The DIS

it got there, as it does In all emergencies.

wentup, alternately for and against the amend
ment, the crowd fairly howled on both SIDES.

M'KEESPORT'S VOTE.
The Constit urional Amendment il Defeated
With 245 Votes to Spare.

The Constit urional Amendment il Defeated
With 245 Votes to Spare.
In the history of temperance and elections
yesterday was a red letter day in McKeesport,
and, although the amendment was defeated, it
can't be attributed to the temperance vote being
small or to the failure of the amendment peo-
pie to carry on a continual and very effective
campaign from the start to the finish. and they
worked for the cause as it was never before
worked for in this city.
1t was expected that the poll would be small,
but on the contrary over two-thirds of the usual
vote of the city was polled, and the fight, to
long be remembered. At each polling place
delegations of temperance workers held forth,
assisted by the ministers of the city, who would
not only talk to the voters. but
tried to convert the workers OF
the antiamendment also. Four hundred
girls attired in white, with sashes of National
colors, carrying the flag of the Nation COM
pie and, led by band, 1t passed from one poll
ing place to the other during the day rendering
temperance songs.
The city gave a majority of 245 for whisky.
The majority for whisky in the First ward was
l61, and in the Third ward LAT. The big Second
ward gave majority of SO for the amendment,
which being deducted from the two wards
above mentioned gives the total whisky ma
jority of 245 in the city, or about 800 less than
the anti people expected.
The total vote polled in the city was 2,2Ol. The
total temperance vote Is 976. The prohibition
vote in the city never was over 200 before. 1t
is big gain for the temperance people, who
expected 400 majority in the Second ward to
carry the city with

PLACARDS FOR VOTERS.
Appeals Stuck Up mt the Polls Not SO
Numerous II Expected.

hVpeuiS StuCA tht inc oh5 H'os
Numerous as Expected.
The posters in the shape of appeals to the
voters were not so numerous yesterday at the
polls as person would have been led to sup
pose they would be IN view of the many differ
ent kinds that were printed by both parties.
At most Of the polling places in Pittsburg
there was only one for each side. The one
that was the favorite of the anti-amendment
people was headed in big type, in blue ink,
Vote Against Prohibition" and simply con-
tanned extracts from the writings of Abraham
Lincoln and John Quincy Adams. The ex-
tract signed abraham Lincoln" said that pro
hibition is failure and always will be. That
from John Quincy Adams set forth that fndt-
vidual responsibility was the safety of the re-
public and that personal liberty must be care
fully guarded
The favorte prohibition poster was headed.
"W Warning to Workingmen," and in big letters
said, 1.-THE People Are on Strike Against the
Monopoly of the Liquor Traffic" and in smaller
type urged workingmen to vote for the amend
ment and keep their money for themselves
and their families instead of giving it to enrich
saloon keepers.
The big red-ink poster Liquor Men Own
Defeat, T" was not posted at any of the polls In
the city, the Prohibitionists having concluded
that Mr.. Wainwright's appeal to all oppo-
nents of the amendment to turn out and vote
might work both ways
In opposition to the bands of singing children
who were sent around by the amendment peo-
pie the anti-amendment people had out several
wagons containing small sections OF brass
bands. These wagons had big placards ON the
side, saying vote Against Prohibition"
