CARRIE BROWNS MURDERER
"Frenchy No. L" Is the Man, says
Inspector Byrnes.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-lnspector
Byrnes has at last fastened the crime for
the murder of the woman Carrie Brown.
The murderer is "Frenchy No. 1" who
was arrested Friday night, less than "a
hours after committing the crime, and
has been under lock and key ever since.
On the night the murder was commit
ted "Frenchy No. /" occupied room SO
in the East River hotel with a woman
by the name of Mary Ann Lapoze. This
room was across the hall from that oc-
cupied by the woman Brown and her un-
known companion. From information
in possession of the police, it appears that
the murdered woman's companion had
left her some time before / O'Clock Friday
morning.
"Frenchy No. 1" had been at one time
lover of the old woman, but had be.
come insanely jealous. He heard her
companion leave the room and got up
and crossed the hall. deliberately stran
gled and then disemboweled his victim.
This is the story of the police. 1t il
substantiated by the following facts
When "Frenchy No. 1" had completed
his work, he crossed the hall and entered
room 33, where he left evidences OF his
guilt. When the police made their inves
tigation, traces of blood were found or
every side. The bed clothes were found
covered with blood, the murderer
sometime during the night hav
ing thrown himself upon the bed
His stockings were soaked with
blood and his clothing was also
covered with blood. On the walls and
ceiling of the little room many small
spots of blood we're found, the mar
having evidently entered the room will
his hands reeking with blood.
When the fellow was arrested, lnspec
tor Byrnes examined his hands and lin
ger nails. The latter he carefully scrapec
and found plain and distinct traces o
human blood. To positively establish
the fact, the scraping and dirt found un
der his nails were submitted to chemi
cal analysis.
From the time the man was arrested
but little could be learned from him. H
has made few statements, but all hav
been so very contradictory that the polio
have been able to make but little use O
them,

WANTED THE BIRD.
Chief Bairtl's Fortune Told by a
ParOquet.

Chief Baird's Fortune Told by a
ParOquet.
Chief of Police Baird has had his for
tune told.
This morning while the chief was en-
gagged in the mayors Office man with a
strong foreign accent and breath came in
and asked permission to exhibit his for
tune telling birds. He brought his cage
with him. In it were half dozen paro'
quets and Java sparrows.
He would not be satisfied until the
chief consented to have his fortune told
by one of the birds. Taking paroquct
from the cage the man placed in on tor
of the cage, where there was box tillet
with little slips Of paper.
The bird picked out one OF the slips
and it was handed to the chief. This il
what was on it:
"Yov have been free with your mind
and have thereby made many enemies
Some of those who profess to be you
friends are really your enemies. But yo'
are honest and fearless and will com
out on top in the end. You will live t.
be sc years old"
The chiefs face took on thoughtful
expression as he read, and when he wa
through proposed to buy the bird iror
its owner, but he would not sell.
Mr.. Baird went to the tax collecto
with the man, and arranged matters S
that the bird-man can exhibit his teatl
cred tribe.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
BEN TERRIBLY. TALKS AGAIN
LAST NIGHT.

He Presents HIS Views on the
Labor Troubles and Suggests
His Romedy.-Educatl and
Not Strikes are Needed.
Ben Terrell, the alliance orator Of
Texas, addressed large number Of
laboring and business men at the court
house last night.
Mr.. Terrell was DELAYED in reaching
the court house by delay of the west
bound train on which his wife was to
reach here, and on that account did not
begin his address until about S:45
O'Clock. -. ;-'
Before Mr.. Terrell's arrival, however,
the meeting was called to order by W.
F. Towlinson ana W. A. Campbell, Of
Haywood county was called to the
chair.
T. F. Reeves talked for a short while
on the alliance and was followed by Geo
H. Hahn, of Macon county, who made a
Reeves then introduced Mr.. Terrell.
Mr.. Terrell said in the beginning, that
he was to talk as citizen and not as a
member of the alliance. He then stated
his belief that all the depression of th'
laborers of the country is caused by un
Just legislation, and that there has al
ways been something wrong with tn,
finances Of the country. 81 also believe,
he continued, THAT the cause of thes,
unjust laws is that We have forgotten
our duty in the operation OF the politics
of the country. | hold that there is G
difference between politician and par
tisan. One studies how to help his coun
try if he is true politician, and the 9th
er's only thought is how he may benefi
his party. 1t is the duty of every citizer
to become student of poll
tics. No class of men need feai
the education of the masses on an,
subject if that subject is pure and thei
minds he free from wrong motives.
hold that the idea OF basing the circula
tion of country on gold and silver is {
relic of barbarism and that it gives you
opprcssors right to oppress you. VIII,
should these be the basis Of the circula
tion? agree with Jefferson in that th
only true money of government is it
treasury note, based on its power t.
tax. This is not dependent on anything
else, such as the production of the mines
for its issue.
This money should be equally distrif
uted to all who could give good and sutfi
cient security.
AGAINST STRIKES.
Wherever you find wages are low tn
people and the country are less prosper
GUS. do not believe that the laborin
men can effect anything by strikes an
think that the only way in which he ca
do any good is to strike at the financia
question with his ballot, after intelligcn
study. The gulf between capital an
labor is widening and believe revol,
tion will result il the tendency is no
stopped.
81 believe the best way to have the raj
roads and transportation lines conduct
ed is to control them by the govern
ment and have exact justice in their OF
eration."
Mr.. Terrell urged the formation of
Citizens Alliance forthe business men
discuss subjects of importance, in
: similar manner to the alliance of farm
, ers, for the purpose Of educating then
selves on the issues Of the day.

DELMoNTE, CAL, April 30.-The presi-
Dental party arrived at Delmonte last

order that Mrs. Harrison and the other
ladies of the party, who were fatigued
by the days travelling, might be allowed

morrow's program. The hotel Delmonte,
where the party spent the time,
is beautifully decorated with flowers and
bunting, the rooms assigned to the presl-

special objects of attention. The presi-

expelled Jews are cruelty treated, being
marched out of the city a-foot, chained

Mail Facilities

To facilitate the transmission and de
livery of the mails we would suggest to
the Department that instructions be
given to make up a lock pouch for Staun-
ton to be carried by the train that leaves
Clifton Forge at 11:50 a. H. This would
enable parties receiving letters by the
morning mail to answer them the same
day, instead of having to delay until the
11:15 p. III. train that passes east. A fur
Their suggestion is that the mail agent
on the G. s. o. railway make up sepa~
rate pouch for Iron Gate and deliver it
direct to train that leaves on the Z. s.
A. nearly Immediately after the arrival
from the east, over the main stem of the
G. g. O., Of train that reaches Clifton
Forge about p. III. This would give
Iron Gate its mail, coming over the main
stem, in the evening instead of the next
morning 1t would require very little
more labor and operate as q great con-
venience.
We know it is only necessary to make
this suggestion for the efficient postInas-
ter at Clifton to take the matter up,
and for the Department to speedily grant
a request ofthe import indicated. There
is no Department of the government SO
near the people, and there is no Depart
ment that studies more closely the
wants OF the masses and especially the
business portion of the community than
the Postoffice Department, under its
present broad and comprehensive man
agement

A. Serious Accident

William Byrd, youth about nineteen
right by runaway horses near Mountain
Top, two miles east OF this city, Saturday
afternoon about two o'clock.
Young Byrd is from Clifton Forge, and
with a party of fifteen Others came to
Basic to attend the Fourth of July bar
becue. given at Jesse Walkers place near
Mountain Top. Just after dinner Byrd
concluded to go down to Terrell's saloon,
about a mile distant, and hitched up his
horses to phaeton and set off on his
trip. He had not gone very far before
the horses became frightened and started
down the steep mountain side on dead
run. Striking a rock in the narrow road
the vehicle overturned and threw Byrd
out His head struck another rock,
crushing his skull and terribly bruising
his head, shoulders and body. He was
found a few minutes later in an uncon-
scious and supposed dying condition, and
brought to this city He was taken to
the Basic City Hotel, medical aid sum
his suffering. His mother who was at
Waynesboro at the time was immediate
ly summoned, and his father brought
here by telegram fro1u Clifton Forge on
the next train. Young Byrd remained
in a very critical condition until Monday
morning when change for the better
became noticeable. Since that time he
has been improving and it is thought
he will yet get entirely well
The horses Byrd was driving ran away
on three different occasions during the
day, and it is nothing less than mira
Gle that Byrd was not killed outright
Basic city Adod7ace.
Information received yesterday is to
the effect that Mr. Byrd is thought to be
improving, but he has not as yet, recov-
cred consciousness, and his condition is
yet precarious.

A Marrow Escape

Sunday night, as Messrs. ] ". Nc
Nair and Bat Brown were walking
along the Chesapeake and Ohio tracks
near the machine Shops, they heard a
train coming toward them from tue
rear, but thought it was on a different
track from that on which they were
walking. In this they were mistaken
however, and the engine struck them
before they discovered their situation.
McNair escaped unhurt, but Brown was
very badly bruised up, though not seri-
ously hurt He was attended by DIR.
Miller who reports him as doing we'll.
Fortunately for both the train was NOV
ing very SLOWLY.
