In an interview, attested by an affidavit,
Mrs. Hutchard declares that she saw her
husband take no less than i've new born
infants, build hot fire, and throw them
shriekiDg and kicking into the flames. He
did the same, she says, with many others,
both dead and alive-probably twenty alto
gether.
The Hogan girl and another, named
Langworthy, died from the effects of abor-
tons in the house.
The records of the Health Department
show the death of these girls.

Millions.
NEW YORK, April 26th-Two BROOKLYN
families are about to inherit fortune of
f250,O00 Patrick and Dennis Gargan
settled in that city about lS47. A third
brother, Michael, went to New Orleans,
where he died several years ago, and is be-
lieved not to have been married. Patrick
and Dennis are also dead, the former leav-
ing four and the latter five children. In
1886 there died in Cayan, Ireland, a wealthy
and eccentric tannery proprietor named
Patrick Gargan. He had been married

| He bequeathed his immense fortune to his
nephews, Patrick, Dennis and Michael
Gargan, or, in event of their decease, to

The fact of his decease was duly adver-

bequest finally came to the knowledge of
the heirs in Brooklyn, and Denison James
proceeded to Ireland, where he is now
prosecuting the case. Suit is now pending
in the Irish Court of Chancery. and ap-
parently would be speedily decided, but the
inevitable woman in the case appears as
serenely as usual.

and, of course, claims an equity in the es-
tate. These claims the Brooklyn heirs be.

NEW York, April 26th.-Gus Heck, q
prominent local politician and patron of
| the sports, tonight mailed letter to Pres
| ident Fulda of the California Athletic Club
| containing this proposition: The Califor-
mia Athlete Club should hold the annual

ing championships in all classes should
be decided, the events open to the world.
Each competitor should deposit at least
$3.50, as sweepstake to go to the winner in
his class. To the man adjudged the cham
pion heavy weight pugillst of the world

| SIC, 600 to $4,000 and suitable emblem; to
| the middle-weight champion, say $40 600;
| lightweight, 81 900: feather-weight, $4,000;
bantam weight, So, 500 and an emblem.
The purses should be in addition to the
sweepstakes, the competition to be annual,
| the winners holding their titles and en-
blems undisputed for year. Every athlete
of known ability should be allowed rea-
sonable sum of money for training and
other necessary expenses. but men who
| have never figured prominently in public
combat should be required to pay their
way.

LITTLE Rock (Ark.), April 26th.-The
Clay ton Breckenridge Investigating Com
mittee examined about seventy-five wit
nesses yesterday. nearly all of whom were
negroes. The latter testified that they had
cast straight Republican tickets containing
the name of John M. Clayton as candidate
for Congress. A majority of the negroes
who testified are unable to read and could
not tell whether the tickets shown them
were the ones they voted or not. They
were positive, however, of having voted for
Clayton. Except in very few cases the
ballots showed they had voted for Brock

The talk about his having $50, 900 was too
frivolous to talk about. He had given
