SEARCHING FOR THE MURDERER.


HANOVER, July 19.-Forty-two hours
have elapsed since the man known "a Frank
G.. Almy murdered Miss Christie Warden.

should be his wife or die at his hands and
the fugitive has not yet been found, nor has
any cue been discovered as to the direction
Of his flight. High Sheriff Sias II. Brig
ham of Lisbon arrived here last night ac-
companied by Deputy 4. b. Morse Of Hnv-
| erhill. They were joined bore by Deputy
Charles Clark OF Lebanon, making, with j.
+. Foster the local sheriff, force OF four,
who will further organize and prosecute the
search for the murderer.
This morning officers were sent out on all
the night trains leaving White River juno
tion and additional quantities of posters and
postal cards offering reward Of $500 for
the arrest of Alny and a description Of him
were prepared and sent out to all point, Of
the country.
/ A large aud anxious crowd of people filed
| the telegraph office and walked about the
! streets last night hoping to hear Of the ar
! rost Of the hepd who hpd committed the
d.aJohcm crime, but rs the carly moruing
hours approac. 81 and il became apparent
that their hopes were doomed to disappoiut-
moAt the crowd grew smaller as they drop

before daylight should come and the search
| be renewed.
In the evening there came a report from
SHARON, Vt, of the suspicious movements
of stranger who was supposed to resembl,
| Almy. Sherits bingham and Foster start
ed enriy this morning for that place. but
their investigation there only proved that
the man was not the one wanted The sur

| those who vet believe that Almy committed
suicide and some OF the hunters have been
engaged along the Connecticut river which
runs within half mile Of tho place whore
the murder was committed, the searcuer,
thinking he might have ended his terrible
existence by drowning.
| A telegram was received about o'clock
| from White River Junction, stating that a
suspicious character, who had been try iug
TO exchange his hat and clothing, had beeu
| arrested at Hartford, Vt. and was being
brought TO Hanover. The supposi,ion that
sheriff Foster, who was personally acquaint
ed with Almy was OF the party that had
made the arrest, led to the certain belief
that at last the right man had been found
At 7 O'Clock Officers Peck and Hutchinson

ARE THE sTANLeYs "ouT?"


LUCERNE, July 90, The famous African
explorer, Henry NJ. Stanley, is now stop
ping at Murren. This suggests rumor
which seems to have come from reliable
source that the famous traveller and his
wife, formerly Miss Dorothy Tennant, have
separated.
He Ie'. London about a fortnight ago.
and after going to Paris came here. lie
proposes to extend his trip to Australia,
where he will remain several months As
it has been already announced that his wife
would not accompany him, but would stay
in London, it is SAID that they desire to at.
tract as little attention as possible TO their
separation.
The cause of this is declared to be due to
the positive nature of both husband and
wife, which, owing to the many years they
lived alone. renders it difficult for them to
conform to the peculiar views OF each
other

HAvERHILL, Mass, July 90 Macarthur,
the murderer, was here OH Sunday and sat
down to dinner at the Finn House, public
hotel, afterwards deliberately crossing the
bridge to Bradford without being detected
by ;he police.
1t is asserted that after crossing the
bridge Macarthur walked toward Grove
land, on the Boston aud Maine railroad
track, after which no trace of him could bo
found, though officers followed him several
hours later. Officers are on Macarthur S

ALMY IN CANADA.


The Murderer of Christie Warren Has
Crossed the Linc.
HANOVER, y. H., July 20. Another day
has passed aud murderer AlIny has not been
found.
Alta O'Clock, two women, who live at the
north side of Balch Hi, which is heavily
wooded and covered with lodges, drove
rapidly into town with the news that one of
the hunters in the line which had formed
carly in the day on the far side of thisrough
territory and had been advancing toward
the village, had seen a man at some dis
tance in the woods, who, when hailed, ran
disappearing in the thick undergrowth.
This was confirmed shortly by some Of
the searching party who came for more
help. They said it wns Mr.. Trasker, n
medical student, who saw him. Reinforce
ments were gathered, another draft was
made on the gun stores and the fresh party
set out 1t il so near dark that probably
the most that can be done is to surround
the locality in which the man was seen and
wait till morning before closing on him.
Trssker says; "Hs had a revolver i'll his
hand, and jumped for the thick bushes as
soon as hailed him.
