A CHASTITY PUZZLE.

How did Mrs. Ulmer Hang Herself to a Bed
post Which Was One Foot shorter Than
She Waas-The Hilltop RumOrs.
Although the GOroner's jury returned a
verdict of suicide in the case of Mrs. Ame-
liza Ulmer, of Beltzhoover, there is consid-
erable gossip on the Southside hill-tops
which is not in harmony with that finding.
81 don't see how that woman could have
ever hung herself?" said Undertaken AL
bert Vierheller to DISPATCH reporter last
night. when reached the house was
struck with the smallness of the bed, on one
of the posts of which Mrs. Ulmer's corpse
was found hanging. The bed seemed
altogether too small to facilitate such an
act. got out my tape measure, and found
the corpse to be 3 feet inches long. Then
held the tape measure up to the bed post,
and found it fully one foot smaller than the
body. When Squire Barr cut the remains
down he found handkerchief tied securely
around the neck of the woman and the bed
post. How she could have done it I do not
know. When found her feet were dragging
on the floor. Had she thrown herself for
ward or tried to drop on her knees after
tying the handkerchief, the terrible strug-
giles of the body while she was being choked
would have drawn the body up again. That
would have prevented death for a long
time"
Mr.. Vierheller further said that the
women who had washed the body had re-
ported no marks of violence except the
mark of the cloth around the dead
woman's neck.
The rumors were general On the hill, but
neighbors were careful to refrain from talk
ing to newspaper reporters about the mat
ter. Squire Barr believes it was case of
suicide. Mr.. Ulmer himself could not be
found last night. No move has yet been
made for another official investigation.

PETER WALTERS FUNERAL.

The Services to be Held in the Trinity Lu.
theran Church To.Morrow.
The arrangements for the funeral of Peter
Walter, Jr., the well-known Allegheny
business man and politician, we're completed
last night. Mr.. Walter was a member of
several secret organizations, and it was ex-
peoted that the Knights Templar would
have charge of the funeral, but Mrs. Walter
objects to public funeral, and the various
orders win not participate in the services.
In order to give the many friends of the de-
ceased an opportunity to attend the funeral
it will be held in the Trinity Lutheran
Church, at the corner of Stockton avenue
and Arch street, on Sunday afternoon at
o'clock.
None of the orders to which Mr. Walter
belonged will attend in body, but all will
be represented. He was member of Nc
Kinley Lodge No. 318, A. Y. NJ; Ascalon
Commandery SO, K. T.; Park Lodge 973, I.
o. o. F., and Hope Council 118, Jr. o. q.
A. M.
Allegheny Councils, of which the de-
ceased was member for 16 years, will hold
a special meeting at o'clock this afternoon
to take appropriate action on his death.
The Allegheny Central Republican Club
will meet tonight to take action on the
death of one Of their members.
The pallbearers will be two from the
knights Templar, two from the I. o. o. f.,
two from the Jr. o. q. A. M. and two from
Allegheny Councils. The latter will likely
be Chairmen Lindsay and Hunter. The
others have not yet been selected.

FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

A Temperance Lectures Emphasizes the
Importance ofProblbitiOu.
Mrs. Mary Woodbridge, Secretary of the
National Union of the W. G. T. o., lee
tured last night at the North Avenue M /.
E. Church, Allegheny, on the prohibition
amendment question. The meeting was
conducted by the Young Peoples Society
of the church, Miss Mary A. Paul pre-
siding.
Mrs. Woodbridge asked: "Why did the
General Assembly submit this question to
the people?" Continuing, she said: This
might be answered by saying because of the
pressure brought to bear by the people.
But why was this pressure brought to bear?
Because the liquor traffic has been guilty of
high treason to the individual, State and
nation"
Mrs. Woodbridge said the benefits of this
law would not be so much Tor the men of to-
day, or even for the little children we love,
but for the millions yet unborn. Remem-
Der the words of our Lord: 81 will visit the
sins of the father upon the children, even to
the third and fourth generation, of them
that hate me"
Mrs. Woodbridge maintained that high
license does not decrease the consumption Of
liquor, and furnished statistics from various
States showing that the consumption has in
creased since the introduction of high
license. She said that in Pennsylvania
since the introduction of the Brooks law the
manufacture has increased over 5000, 900
gallons.
The Rev. Josephus Cheaney, of Dallas,
Tex, lectured last night on the temperance
question at the Second o. P. Church, Sixth
avenue. The meeting was opened by the
Rev. Mr.. Little, pastor of the church, who
conducted the devotional exercises. Mr..
Cheaney took for his subject: "Human Re
sponsibility Concerning Temperance"

Senator Quay, fleeing from the Office seek

On Indifferent subjects the Senator is
always willing to talk, as the following
witnesseth: 1.-The Republican party is in
favor of improving the navy and the coast
defenses. The recent disaster in Samoa has
stirred the Senate. President Harrison is
also in line with these views, and will do
what he can to make our navy more re-

ALL KINDS OF REASONS.

Railroad Men Rush TO the Defense Of the
Pennsylvania Road.
There is great commotion among the big
frogs in the puddle, but they don't make
much noise when a reporter is around. Since
the big fellows refuse to croak about Mr..
Carnegie's letters, naturally the little fell
lows are afraid.
Railroad men are like the shrew and her
husband. They may fight g great deal
among themselves, but as soon as anv one
on the outside attacks one of their number
they all rush to his assistance. 1t is diff
cult matter to find railroad man in Pitts
burg who is willing TO say Mr.. Carnegie is
right There must be some sophism, so they
argue, in his premises, for his conclusion is
not correct but when asked to point out the
sophistry they fail to do it. Z
Said freight agent yesterday: "Why,
the B. & o., the Lake Erie, Lake Shore
and other roads make the same rates to Chi
cago as the Pennsylvania, and surely all
these roads would not support wrong.
The principle is recognized by freight men
in making tariffs that the rate should be less
in proportion for q longer haul than a
shorter one. If the roads did not observe a
distinction they would soon be bankrupt.
"Mr. Carnegie refers to the surplus of
$4OOO, 900 made by the Pennsylvania road
last year as a crying evil. Why, a road
must make some money, or it would go to
pieces. If the showing Of other roads were
only half as good, business would be much
better than it is"
Some Of these men go so far as to say that
Mr.. Carnegie has been favored by the roads
in the past, and he is the last man who
ought to kick. Now that the interstate
law puts the big and little shipper on the
same bottom, the shoe pinches, and hence
this outcry. 'Tis thus the railroad people
talk.

WHAT MAKES A CHRISTIAN.

Rev. w. r. Mackay Delivers an Interesting
Lenten Lecture ON Uniting With the
Church-Many In Attendance.
REV. w. R. Mackay delivered the fifth Of
his Lenten lectures last evening, under the
auspices Of the Kings Sons of ST. Peters
Church. Notwithstanding the inclement
weather, there was a full attendance.
Among other good things the lecturer said:
There are three classes of men in this world
in regard to the relationship Of man TO the
church. There is. first, the active member OF the
church; second, the man who once belonged to
the church, but for some reason has dropped
out. and third, the man who never belonged TO
any church. The last two are the classes that
/ wish to reach, although hope my remarks
will do us all good
When a man becomes converted he is
changed man. He holds new views Of life, new
views of God and new views of the church. 1t
is not necessary that he be converted IN pas
sion of tears; it may be in laughter, while lis
tening to a sermon or while walking along the
streets; but when he Is converted he is changed.
He becomes Christian.
Every member of the church is not Christ
ian. This word has Leen brought to represent
almost everything; but its true meaning repre-
sents man when he is noblest. A man may be
Christian and not belong to church. He may
live the life of o Christian and never go within
the Lords sanctuary. Then he reminds me Of
some grand piece of machinery which Is
allowed to lie unnoticed in some back yard.
His place is in the church, working for Christ
and His kingdom. He should join some
church.
do not expect man. by conversion, to be-
come a full-hedged Christian in one night 1t
takes years OF growth for the oak tree to be-
come the monarch that it is. So among men,
1t requires years of spiritual growth to become
Christian. There Is hope for any man who
has even the farthest thought Of wishing to do
right and acknowledging Christ as the Son Of
God
There are several kinds of church attendants
the one who,goes to every church, and may
be called ''the circulating Christian" and the
one who Is like the ''wheelbarrow Christian" !"
who went any way that he was pushed.
NOW, as to which church man should be-
long: That is a hard question to answer. 1t
would be better for mankind if there were but
one church, as it was in the beginning. The
day is coming, however when once again the
church will be united, and Chrst's great teach
ing of the brotherhood of man will be more
nearly obeyed. feel like saying one church is
as good as another-and sometimes great deal
better. Join the church in which you can do
the most good, not the one that will benefit you
most

WAS IT CONSPIRACY?
Consumption, and Not an Accident,
as a Cause of a Mans Death,
THOUGH $4,000 WAS THE CLAIM.
Did Prominent Persons Try to Defraud an
Accident Company
A DETECTIVES GRAVE ALLEGATIONS.

A very sensational conspiracy suit was
brought yesterday by Frank X. Kohler,
Secretary of the Peoples Mutual Accident
Insurance Company, before Alderman Nc
Kenna, against three prominent people.
The defendants are Mrs Hettie M. Garfield,
DIR. II. E. Campbell and Christ Martin. In
the information it is stated that on Febru-
ary 9 the parties made demand on the
company for 81, 900, the amount Of policy
held by James NJ. Garfield and drawn in
favor of his wife, one of the defendants to
the suit. The claim was that Mr.. Garfield 8
death had resulted from the effect of an
accident. 1t was claimed that street car
collided with his buggy on Federal street,
Allegheny, and he was badly hurt. These
injuries, it was said, caused his death last
January. Chris Martin was named as 3
witness of the accident.
The insurance company placed the mat
ter in the hands Of the Gilkenson Detective
Agency, and Detective Allen was assigned
to investigate the matter. He discovered
that Mr.. Garfeld's death was caused by
consumption, according to DR.. Campbell s
return in the Allegheny Health Office, and
also secured WlLneSS WHO VIII beSblly tuAt
in the street car collision one man was hurt,
but not Mr.. Garfield. Witnesses were Sc
cured and Secretary Kohler brought the
suit.
Warrants were issued and about clock
yesterday afternoon Detective Allen ar
rested Dr.. Campbell in Mayor McCallin's
Office and he furnished bail in the sum Of
81, 900 for his appearance at hearing next
Thursday evening, A. x. Stevenson going
ing on his bond. Martin was arrested
about o'clock and promptly furnished bail.
Mrs. Garfield, the third defendant, is ab-
sent from the city.
DR.. Campbell is candidate for the posi-
tion of Jail physician, and the election is to
be held to-day by the Prison Board. he
claims that this is scheme on the part Of
his rivals to defeat him.
James M. Garfield was the sewer pipe
manufacturer connected with the firm Of
Murphy, Fertig & Co. Several years ago he
had his name changed from Murphy to Gar.
