Horrible Revelations.

terry surrounding the murder of Mrs. Nett
man, whose body was found horribly mutt
lated in the river short time ago, seems

murdered woman. Benson admits criminal
intimacy with Mrs. Rantzohn. The letters
contain the horrible intimation that Mrs.
Mettman's husband was guilty of incest
with his daughter and that the latter
wanted her mother out of the way. In the
afidavits Mrs. Rantzohn acknowledges re-
lations with Benson and states that she
gave him money after the murder had been
committed, but denies any knowledge of
the crime.

BULLlNG NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Heavy Buying Of Stock on the Strength
Of Rumored Contract.
81. PAUL, April 22.-[Special.]-A Pio-
neer Presa New York special says the bull
ing of Northern Pacific stock on exchange
to-day was done by strong parties, much of
the supposed stock coming from the Lon
don house. The point on which this stock
was bulled to-day was the proposed con-
tract with ths Pacific Mail for TacoMa's
terminus to the steamship line. The story
on the street was that the Northern Pa
cifio authorities have offered to
guarantee the Pacific Mail company $15,-
600 month in consideration of the
change. The sum named is larger than
will be seriously considered, being. in fact,
exactly what is now paid to the Pacific Mail
by the Transcontinental association. A
guarantee of smaller sum will, however,
undoubtedly be offered, together with ter
minal facilities for vessels.
It may be stated on excellent authority
that Willard and Huntington are much
uearer together in interests in the matter
than has been supposed. If Huntington
withdraws his opposition the change will be
made,

CH1cAoo, April 22.-Samuel 0ompers,
president of the Federation Of Labor, to-
night issued an address to wage workers
and sympathizers with progress of America.
He says:
I'm accordance with the resolution of the
Boston convention Of the American Feder-
alton Of Labor to select the trade to make
tho demand for the enforcement of the
eight-hour work day on May l, the execu-
tive council have decided that the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners Of
America shall make the demand. Il ap-
pears that the wealth, power and in
dueace Of the employing and cor
porate GLASSES of the country
are to be concentrated to defeat this
movement, which seeks not only to improve
the condition of the employed, but which
will find employment and consequently
save from degradation and despair hun
dreds Of thousands of our idle fellow men
and women. In view of this situation it
will be necessary for wage workers and
their friends of America to rally With
ever before, to concentrate all their
efforts to oounteract I, and overcome
the action of our enemies. They must vol
unfairly contribute their mite to place at
the disposal of the American Federation Of
Labor q sum of money sufficient to meet
all contingencies"

Lou1sv1rLE,l April pa report comes
from Catlettl burg that Col. W. S. Smith,
manager of thA lumber company near Pine
vile, on Saturday shot and killed Frank
Phillips. When he first met Smith some
weeks ago he charged him with being the
man who during the war had Phillips
father arrested and sent to prison. This
Smith denied and apparently satisfied Phil
lips. That night. however, Phillips sought
out Smiths quarters and shot him while in
bed, intiicting wound which was painful,
but not dangerous. When Smith recovered
he got from Gov. Fleming, of West Vir-
ginia, requisition on Gov. Buckner tor
Phillips arrest. Under authority from
Gov. Buckner, Smith was attempting to ar
rest Phillips when the latter was killed.

PITrsBuRa, April 22.-The Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen has taken up the
cause Of the switchmen. Various meetings
were held throughout the city, but the
most important was held by the Brother
hood Of Trainmen, etc, They not only re-
solved to cling to the switchmen in their
demands, but also presented grievances of
their own to be adjusted. In addition to

oar cleaners, clerks in freight Offices and
men employed in transportation depart
ments viii present, in the morning, ? list Of
their grievances. Shopmen employed in
the numerous shops about the city will also

of the men with something like Indifference.
Grand Master Wilkeson says tonight they
can call out 1900 men if necessary, and as
the entire brotherhood is involved, the
strike will extend from New York on the
east to New Orleans and the west.

GONE UP THE FLUME.

An Old Forty Miner Tells How tho Ex-
preston Originated.
s'The biggest nugget ever found" con-
tinued the old forty-niner, 'was worth
$500. I did we'll in those mines. At one
time I had $4,000 on deposit in Jim Mills
& Co.'s bank, but / put it all back in the
ground and came away from the mines

streets of Columbia are all torn up and
mined over. While in Columbia had
some great experiences. We had all the
wild life incident to California mining
towns, and for a long time there was no
effort made to punish murderers, and we
had a man for breakfast nearly every day.
"You have often heard the expression
gone up the fiume, haven't you? Well,
that phrase was started right here in Col
umbia, and I can tell you all about it.
Barkley was the first man who went up the
hume.' He had been good man until he
married and started gin mill. Then he
became a tough character. Jack Smith. a
Philadelphian and popular fellow, got a lit
tie full, and sauntering into Barkley's place
he accidentally broke pitcher. He offered
to pay for it, but the woman of the place
precipitated quarrel, and Barkley, in the
presence of two men, shot Srnith down.
"The Philadelphia boys collected to-
arrested Barkley. News was spread quickly
in those days, and before night Jim Stew

committee, and he and two other brave
men came galloping down to Columbia.

house after the murder, and happened
also to find out that Jim Stewart and his
men we're coming, SO l took short cut
down to the place of hanging and warned
the boys. There were over thousand OF
those men, SO they just formed solid wall
around their prisoner and kept the sheriff
back until the murderer was dead. The
place chosen for the execution was on the
road between Columbia and Gold Springs,
and the gallows was the fiume that crossed
over the road at height of twenty feet.
Barkley was the first, but there were many
others who were subsequently lynched on
that fiume. The warning note OF the vigi-
Iantes to the evil-doers was:
".Look here. young fellow, You go slow, OF
you'll go up the fiume.'
"And frequently questions OF where's
Mike, or Bill, or Jim?' would be answered:
Them, why they're all gone up the
iume.'
THE expression and its wholesome use
was spread from camp to camp, and now
it is worldwide, and you frequently heal
people saw when firm fails, or great losl
by fire is experienced, Well, they're gone

people know where or how the expression

JUSTICE TO SULLIVAN.
The Confession Of Woodruff duplicating

The Confession Of Woodruff duplicating
Him Was Base Fabrication.
CHICAGO, April 22.-The sensational con-
fession of Frank Woodruff, which was go
generally published last autumn and which,
among other things, stated that Alexander
Sullivan, ex-president of the Irish National
League, in Woodruh's presence handed a
sum of money to Martin Burke, one Of
Cronin's murderers, has been entirely dis
credited by the authorities here. States
Attorney Longenecker, in dismissing the
charge of murder against Woodruff, thus
referred to this sensational confession:
sThe state has no evidence to implicate
this defendant in the Cronin murder ex-
cept the statement or confession of Wood
ruff himself. We have after full investi-
cation, come to the conclusion that the
confession was wholly fabricated by the
prisoner and that he had no connection
whatever with the Cronin murder. The
state will, therefore, not prosecute Wood
ruff upon this Indictment"
To an Associated Press representative
II am satisfied that Woodruff's confession
was simply lie from beginning to end.
will admit, however, that at the beginning
We credited it 30 much that it greatly mis-
led and hampered Us in working on the
case. The fact is, rs we have now ascer-
tanned, Woodruff simply made zthis whole
story in the hope that his protested knowl-
edge of the greater crime might secure him
immunity for the lesser otfense of horse
stealing. am satisfied now that he knew
nothing about and had nothing to do with
the Cronin murder in any connection. Hit
story was simply cunning subterfuge OF
an inveterate liar and an amateur horse
thief. We are going to send him to the
penitentiary for horse stealing, if We can.' :
Woodruff's confession, widely circulated al
that time, did great injustice to Alexander
Sullivan and others whose names were
freely used,
