CLEVELAND Is A CANDIDATE.
He EmDhaticnlIy Denies That He In Ont OF
the Next Presidential Race.

the Next Presidential Race.
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 26-Some time
ago there appeared in an obscure little North
Carolina weekly what purported to be an inter-
view with ex-President Cleveland. In the in
terview Mr.. Cleveland was made to say that he
would positively not accept the Democratic
Presidential nomination in 1892; that his public
life was at an end. To member of the edi-
torial staff of the Charleston World who for
warded the clipping from the North Carolina
weekly to the ex-President Mr.. Cleveland has
written as follows in regard to this particular
matter:
think it is very Improbable to attempt to run
down the errors and Misrepresentation of news
paper interview. return the clipping you sent
m e, purporting to contain part OF an interview
with me during my recent trip to Florida. You
ask me to say whether not 1t is correct. shall
content myself in this case with hereby saying
that the report of the interview contained in the
clipping is very inaccurate and misleading.
Yours truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
In the light of the recent prominence which
has been gwen to Mr.. Cleveland in New York,
and the continuous linking of his name with
the Presidential nomination in 1892, it is re-
garded as striklngly significant, this denial ON
his part of the correctness of an interview in
which occurs the positive statement that he
would not accept denomination to the Presi-
dency four years hence

THE reduction of rail way fares to New
York on the Pennsyl vania Railroad to
$40 so is a grateful evidence that notwith-
standing Trunk Line Associations the forces
of competition are still at work. Pittsburg
has heretofore had to pay higher railroad
fares than any other city of its Importance.
Protest against it has done little good; but
the influence which does correct such in
justice is apparent from the statement of a
railroad official in regard to this reduction,
that ''the Pennsylvania Railroad now has
some opposition from here to New York
and this is the reason the fare was re-
duced,"

The report that Baron Alphonse de Roths-
child lost $15, 900, 600 by the collapse of the
copper combination will cause few tears,
except those which may flow from the Bar
on's own eyes. The number of people who
can lose $15, ,0OO, 900 in that way is SO few
that Rothschild need expect little of the
sympathy that flows from fellow-feeling.
The world at large will not see any reason
for going into mourning if the Baron should
keep on going into combinations and losing
SIS, 900. 900 every time, until he is forced to
retire from such enterprises on pittance of

in view of the fact that the other institution

The suit has made pretty big stir, because
Mr.. Schiefflin has been prominent figure in
Murray Hill society for many years. He is
very able in his profession, and is member Of

all this, Mrs. Waldo claims that he got hold Of

her with all sorts of stories about her stocks
jumping every which way, and then got more
money out of her before she regained her COM

excessive railroad rates levied upon the

the anthracite pool has been the cause of

Double Murder.

Double Murder.
PARKERsBURe, w. VA April 26-The slel-
etons of two men in a sack were found beneath
the roots of vine in the woods near James
town. on the Kentucky side. not far from the
West Virginia line by boy atplay. Two ped
dlers stopped at the home of Harry and John
Hill some months ago, and were not seen after
ward. Pieces of flesh were found near the
premises, and the two Hills and their house
keeper, a woman named Berger, were arrested.
The woman turned States evidence and told a
revolving story of the butchery. telling how she
was compelled by the Hills to murder one of
the men; how their bodies were hid in the cell
lar and finally buried in the woods. The men
compelled her to catch the blood in pan and
empty it in the road. The Hills claimed the
woman was their enemy, and as the bodies were
not found the men were discharged.
The discovery of the bodies has led to their
rearrest, and tomorrow they will be arraigned
for the crime. The evidence is SO satisfactory
that there is talk Of lynching.
