THE BEN WELL CASE.
BurchelI Accused of a Series of MUIR
der&a


NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, March 9.-Goy.
ernment Detective Murray, speaking o1
Burchell in an interview today, said he
had the strongest case of circumstantial
evidence he ever had, and when pre-.
sented it will be impossible for him to
escape the clutches of the law. "This
is not the first, second or third young
Englishman lured to this country by
him." he said, "and before the case q
finished the fate of all of them will be
cleared up. Within the past three or
four years two other bodies were found
in the vicinity of the Blenheim swamp,
and neither their identity nor manner of
death was established. Then there was
young Pickthall. All these are recalled
now, and the events of the Benwell
murder give them new significance" :"
1t is impossible to describe the feeling
of horror that pe1vades the communities
which have been the scene of the Incl.
dents connected with the awful crime.
Developments have sprung up 30 thick
and fast that every one constantly is on
the tip toe of expectancy.
The opinion is general that Mrs. Bur.
chell is innocent of any completely in the
crime. Her forlorn condition has ex.
cited sympathy. If she is guilty they
argue it is only of shielding her husband
from crime of which she knew nothing
until after it was committed.

AN AWFUL HOLOCAUST,
A Canadian Farmers Fam.
lily Cremated.
HIS WIFE AND SEVEN CHILDREN,
Himself Frightfully Burned in His
Frantic Efferts to Rescue
Them.
Associated Press Dispatches to THE HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to THE HERALD
MONTREAL, March 9.-Mrs. Onesime
Collerette, the wife of a wealthy Cana
dian farmer, and her seven children,
were burned to death today in their
home, near Cote st. Michael, FIVE miles
from here. The family lived in large
stone house. At an early hour this
morning the building took fire, and be-
fore assistance could be given burned to
the ground. Collerette had left the
house to attend to his work about the
farm, and on returning found the place
in flames. He tried to rescue the fam
lily, but was overcome and tainted. He
was terribly burned. The fire was
caused by the explosion of can OF kero-
sine oil.
When Collerette saw the flames he
rushed toward the house. At the door
he was met by burst of flames. Then
he ran to the rear; only smoke was COM
ing out of this door, and into it Collerette
dashed. He got as far as the door of a
sleeping apartment, but here was solid
wall of flame. The floor was burning
beneath his feet, the ceiling was burning
over head, and the four walls of the room
in which he was were burning fiercely.
To get to the stairway leading to the
upper floor was utterly impossible unless
he dashed into the seething caldron of
fire.
Whsre he had last seen his wife, he
could see the bed, but it was a mass of
flames and empty. He felt himself be-
ing overcome by the smoke and heat.
and seeming to go mad, as he now ex-
plains it, not knowing what he did, hs
made rush for the door through which
he had entered. 1t was afire, but Col
lerette got through and out into the
air. All his clothes we're burned off.
A dozen people arrived on the scene
within five minutes after the explosion
took place, but even then it was impos-
sible to approach within twenty five feet
of the building. The ground around it
seemed 20 be ablaze, and the men who
dragged Collerette out of further danger,
were badly singed. The bodies of the
victims were all badly charred, and of
that of Mrs. Collerette only the trunk
was found.

WANT MORE PROTECTION.
The Wool-GrOwers Complaining of
Unfair Treatment.

Unfatr Treatment.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 9.-President
Harpester, of the Ohio Wool -GrowersS
Association, has issued a lengthy ad-
dress to the wool growers of the State
and Nation, in which he says there has
been no time in thirty years when the
farmers suffered so much from low
prices for farm products as now. He ex.
plains the cause OF this condition. and
says: The object of this address is to
ask the farmers of the country to appeal
to the President to put speedy end to
the monstrous fraud now being perpe-
tra'ed in importing wool, and appeal to
our members in Congress to aid in the
same work, and speedily pass wool
tariff law that will give the wool manu-.
facturers and wool-growers the exclus.
i've privilege OF supplying all the woolen
goods and all the wool REQUIRED for use
in the United States"
Considerable space is devoted to al
legged frauds in the importation of wool.
and he says: eff these frauds and this
low rate of duty continues, the Imports
will be largely increased. The imports
OF ninety million pounds last year, mostly
secured, were equivalent at least to
| 100, 900, 900 pounds unwashed, or to one
fourth of all the wool consumed in the
United States. This is practically free
wool, and unless the duty is increased
these imports will be largely increased
and will destroy our American wool in
| dustry."
Harpester concludes as follows: "This
address is deemed proper in view of the
fact that it is not generally known that
persistent efforts are being made to
secure just and ample protection for
manufacturers, but to deny the same
measure of protection for farmers"

THE ElRON-MOLDERp STRIKE.
Talk of Establishing Co.Opera,
tive Union Foundry.

SAN Francisco, March 9.-The iron
molders' strike has assumed new phase,
not tending toward a settlement with the
manufacturers, but one which directly
interests the members of the union
alone. 1t is stated that the plan is to
start a cooperative foundry to be
manned and operated by union molders
The Iron Founders Association is said
to be also preparing surprise for the
strikers by forming an association which
will take in all the foundries of the city,
and then representatives will be sent
east 10 employ molders. The latter will
be- carefully looked after and guaranteed
protection from the strikers.

PHILADELPHIA, March 9-Ames 8 and

THE acceptance of the City Banks

HE acceptance of the City Banks
bond and the awarding of the public de.
posits to that institution will come up for
final action before the Council today. Il
is probable that an affirm ative vote will
be had on the propositio ms, and that the
Treasurer will be ordered to transfer the
moneys. One would naturally suppose
that this would end the matter. But
the impression is abroad that the parties
who are now making a large profit out of
the use of the city's moneys will enj Din
the Treasurer, and that every legal
obstruction that can be devised will be
availed of to lengthen out their hold
upon the funds. If this course is pur.
sued, the people will readily apprehend
the underlying reason. Can the institu-
tions that are benefited by the free use
OF the city's cash afford to carry out this
programme? Is it not a double-edged
sword which may cut both ways? These
parties are playing a dangerous game,
and one which may react upon them in
. way that will make them wish they
had pursued very different policy.

DoUBTL Ess the Republican party will
in the case of the Montana Senators
perpetrate one of those high handed
political outrsges for which that party
has already earned an unenvlable rec
ord. The stealing Of seat more or less
in the Lower House could scarcely in
crease the blackness of that record, nor
perhaps will the unlawful seizure of a
couple OF Scholarships. The party has
already stolen one Presidency and bought
another. The Silver Bow precincts vote
in Montana was legally cast, and if
legally counted would have given the
Legislature of the new State to the
Democratic party. That question was
passed upon by the only court having
jurisdiction in the premiees, the court of
the county in which the occurrence took
place. The judgment of that court
was that the vote was legal, and
on that vote the Sheriff of the
county was seated, he being elected by
the Democratic vote. The vote that
elected the Sheriff would have elected
the two United States Senators. The
Montana Republicans interested in the
steal made representations al Washing
ton to the effect that unless something
was done, the Senators would be lost to
the party. That highly moral gentle
man, Mr.. B. Harrison, WAS equal to the
occasion. With unparalleled and in.
decent haste he made tho new State, and
thus made the two Senators. 1t was all
understood at the time, and is so now
The intention was to secure the seats by
any means. The new Senators are doubt
less men of the purest morals and
most exalted standing. Mr.. Hayes was
fsuch, but he reaped all the benefit of
1.-THE stolen Presidency. Mr.. Harrison
is such, but he enjoys his place
and salary quite as we'll as if they had
not been secured by purchased votes.
So will the new Republican Senators
from Montana. They are doubtless az
innocently ignorant of any wrong IN the
premises as was Mr.. Hayes, and as is
Mr.. Harrison. High pretense to NOR
ality is great thing, doubtless. But
plain, everyday common honesty has
wearing qualities. The Presidency has
not been sold yet, as the Empire was by
the Pr@torian Guards. Moreover it may
not come to that. There is a robust
sense of honor in the American people
still

warning to Orchardists.

The Florida oyster-shell scale has been
introduced here upon imported orange
stocks. That scale infests the Florida
trees, and a great number of that stock
has been brought into Southern Califor-
MIA this and last year. One CT the Hor'
ticultural Commission Inspectors yes
terday found number of these infected
trees at one of the nurseries in this city.
AS rule the importers of Florida stock
have immersed the trees in wash be-
fore exposing them for sale. But the
nurseryman admitted that these trees
had not been 30 treated, and when the
purple scale was pointed out to him, he
at once agreed to ship the trees back.
The greatest care will have to be taken
or this new scale will start out on a
damaging career. The only safe course
is not to plant out Florida stock at all.
We know that it is almost impossible to
get any other stock; but it is better to
wait year or two for new stock from
our own trees than to plant out stock
which will have to be cut down or
destroyed in season or two. A gentle
man near Downey planted out large
orchard of Florida trees last year. The
purple scale has possession of it now,
and he was about to burn up his orchard
when Commissioner advised him to
cut the trees down to above the bud, and
carefully destroy the branches and leaves
cut away, so that the scale would be COM
pletely exterminated.
The number of Florida trees imp orted
into our section this season has been
very large. We noted single invoice OF
one hundred thousand that had be On
brought to Pomona a short time ago.
This has been the result of the scarcity
of home stock for planting out. Inde ed
the demand fax young orange trees has
been so great tks season that if our nur-
serymen had had twice the amount of
stock On hand they started out with it
would not have suficed. One nur-
seryman at Anaheim, who has
been for years working hard
to get a large supply Of trees
ahead, has sold over q million of
all kinds this season, and his stock
was so far reduced last week that he
could not fill an order, to complete 8
previous one, for thirty-fve orange trees.
Unfortunately this necessity led to the
wholesale i'm mportation of the Florida
stock, bringing with it the new scale,
which we shall have TO stamp out at
great cost and the loss of much valuable
time. The advice of all who have looked
carefully into the subject is to leave the
| Florida orange severely alone.

A Two.Round Knock.out.

SALINAS, Cal, March S.-A fight to q
finish between jim Fell and Jack Nc
Csuley, from San Francisco, for a purse
of $3.50, before the Salinas Athletic Club
last night, resulted in victory for Fell,
whose weight is over 200 pounds, while
McCauley weighed only ITO. Time was
called at 9:30. In the first round several
heavy blows were exchanged, and every
blow counted. Fell was blowing like a
steam engine when the round closed.
In the second Fell landed several right
and left undercuts, which sent Nc Cauley
staggering across the ring. He than
landed knock out blow on McCauley's
jaw, which felled him like an OK, and
before he could rise he was counted out.
