WORTH THOUSANDS But BEGGED.
A Wealthy Chicago Niser Sent 10 the Bride
well.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Peter Mueller, an old man
reputed to be worth s750,OOO. was yesterday
sent to the Bridewell for sixty DAYS for begging
on the streets. For many years Mueller and his
wife lived in a miserable hovel on the banks OF
the Illinois and Michigan canal in the
township Of Cicero. They lived in most mis-
cradle manner. denying themselves everything
except what was absolutely necessary 10 keep
them alive. Many stories were told by the
neighbors Of their reputed wealth, and one
night. about four years ago, four masked men
entered the hoyel and demanded the pot Of
gold the old couple were believed 10 keep
therein.
Mueller and his wife protested that they had
no money. Then the robbers by the most hor-
rible tortures sought TO draw from them the
secret of the hiding place Of the treasure but
i'm vain. The next day the Aueller's were found
almost dead by neighbors. Their feet were
terribly burned and their bodies covered with
bruises and cuts inflicted by the miscreants.
Mueller for several years past has made u
practice Of begging on the streets and about a
year ago was locked up one night. Next morning
the jqstice. moved 10 compassion by the old
mans = pitiful tale. discharged him from custody
When Mueller returned TO his miserable home
he found the dead body Of his wife hanging 20
rafter. IL is supposed she had wor-
ried over her husbands absence-the first dur
ing their married lfe-that in n moment os
great dependency she had taken her own life.
Since then Mueller has lived all alone in the
sharty. making no changes in his mode Of iy-
ing.
Sunday be made such nuisance of himself,
begging in front of st. Francis Church. that ar
officer arrested him. Yesterday in the Justice
paw the fine imposed and was sent TO the Bride
well. Mueller owns $40 acres Of land in sections
81 and Sc, and is possessed Of stocks and bonds
worth several hundred thousand dollars.

Private Letter Criticising Democratic Sup
port of Senator Ingalls, Made Public.
New YORK, Nov. 25.-The Kansas City
dispatch stating that Nelson F. Acres, internal
revenue collector of Kansas under President
Cleveland, had received letter from the ex-
President in which he expressed pleasure at the
retirement Of Ingalls, from the Senate was
shown to ex-President Cleveland at his home
last night. After reading the dispatch care
fully he said: 81 did write letter to that man
in reply to one he sent me. He wrote that he
believed Senator Ingalls, would be defeated, but
said he feared many democrats would vote for
him. 1t was just after the recent election and
l cannot recollect now exactly how my letter
was worded but / do remember saying that L
could not understand how a democrat could
vote for Ingalls,. My letter was personal COM
munication and / am surprised that this man
should have made it public. 1t is remarkable
indeed, If one cannot write to party friend
without having his confidence violated.
''The chief thing l regret about the pubiica-
ton Of the letter, whether quoted correctly or
not, is it will convey the idea that am
going out of my way to take part in local poll
teal struggles. This have Away avoided, as l
believe it to be the proper course.
1.-The man must be q fool" said Mr.. Cleve-
land, ito reveal the contents of letter that he
knew was written to him in confidence
wrote a great many letters and it is impossible
for me to to recollect the exact wording of the
one sent to Acres. l regret that the letter is
to be published, coming, as it does, from one
whom considered worthy of confidence"

Testimony Given Before the Joint Cougras-
sional Committee on Immigration.
SPOKANE FAILS, Nov. 25.-The joint congress
sional committee on immigration, consisting of
Senator Squire OF Washington and Representa-
tives Lehbach and Stump Of Maryland, held
three sessions here yesterday and took testi-
mony relative to Chinese immigration gener-
ally. Two special customs inspectors,
patrolling the international boundary in
Stevens and Okanogan counties, testified that
Chinese are being constantly smuggied across
the border. They are helped by Cinnamon on
the Colville Indian reservation who have mar
ried squaws. Owing TO the length and Wild
ness of the border the inspectors can only
watch leading trails and passes, and the
Chinese easily eyade them
They recommended the establishment of two
or three stations in remote regions where the
inspectors cannot venture now for lack Of
supplies and an act requiring the Chinese here
now to take out certificates, 90 that hereafter
they can be distinguished from smuggled
Chinamen.

AN EIGHT-YEAR MYSTERY.

Detectives on the Track of Murderer q,
Banker Mead.
WAUPAcA. WIS, Nov. 25.-For the last eight
years the murder of Banker II. C. Mead has
been enveloped in mystery. There are indi.
cations now that the guilty parties will be
brought to justice. The Waupaca county
board recently offered a reward of $4,000 for
the arrest and conviction Of the murderers. and
the $500 reward offered at the time of the
murder has remained in force ever since.
fod Pryor, who was night watchman at the
bank when the venerable banker met his death.
Is now In jail here. He was arrested on a war
rant charging hin with the murder of Mead.
He was suspected at the time of the mnrder
but not enough evidence TO warrant his arrest
could be obtained. Detectives, however. kent
a close watch on him and now claim that enoueb
evidence has developed to insure his CONVICTION.
BANKER MEADs MURDER.
The murder Of Banker Mead caused tre-
mendous sensation not only in Waupaca
county, but throughout the state. Big rewards
were offered, private detectives employed be-
sides the local officers, but the murderers left
not the slightest clue to their identity. After
months work the detectives caused the
arrest OF one Vandecar. He was tried and ac-
Quilted through lack of evidence. Later
convict in Waupun made an alleged
confession, but it was found to be untrue.
NSh SohAiC VIC Sflh OI tue Currdn6 OF stevens
Point for the murder Of Willis Hazeltime. II
was alleged at that time that "Buckskin Jack"
Riley killed Mead: that Henry Curran was con-
nected with the affair; that John Curran got
nd OF the stolen bonds at Waveriy, Iowa, and
that Riley was shot to death in the Stevens
Point Jail to cover up the crime.
WHAT THE DETECTIVES HAVE POUND.
This story fell fat, and now comes the arrest
OF Pryor. The attorneys representing the state
do not make public their case, but what they
say furnishes some new and startling facts.
They now claim that there were three men i'm
piicsted in the killing. One Of these, il is
said. was stationed outside in the court yard
and two others went inside to get the
Thousands of dollars known to be in
the safe. When the two men entered the bank
Mead WAS awakened. One Of the men inside
quickly leaped at him and struck him down
with some blunt instrument which laid him in
sensible. While their victim lay on the floor
the assailants went on with the work
Of robbery. The banker revived and
staggered 70 his feet and was then
shot down. The states attorneys intimate
that Pryor ID the man who struck the blow that
rendered the old man insensible, and that VAN
decar, who was formerly tried and acquitted
Of the crime, Is the man who fired the weapon.
The identity of the third is mot made known. but

Minnesotans temporarily and officially resid-
