EVA MANN. SKEPTICAL.
SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE ROBERT RAY
HAMILTON Is DEAD.

The Story of the Inquest on His Body Ridi-
culed by Her-Grounds of Her Disbelief
Cleverly Put-She Hopes to See Him
Yet.
ALBANY, Oct 15.-[ Special. Eva Mann,
or Mrs. Eva Hamilton, as she prefers to be
called, who is here with burlesque COM
pany which is performing at the Gaiety
Theater, was to-day asked to read the arti-
Gle verifying the report of Robert Ray
Hamilton's death. After reading it she ex-
claimed: 'It seems as if this trouble will
last forever" When asked if she still
doubted the death of Hamilton, she said
emphatically:
'I have always doubted it. I did not be-
ieve the former stories, and do not be-
lieve this one. am quite confident that
Mr.. Hamilton is alive. Is it not proof
enough that it is not Rays body that they
make no endeavor to have it brought here
to rest with the others of his family. 1t is
not proof, I say, when they let him lie
there, buried like a dog They say they
cannot bring the body on without my con-
sent, vet they have never asked my con-
sent"
''You don't, then, believe in this inquest?'
''No. Why should I, or why should any
thinking person believe in it? Why did
his family wait a whole year before they
had this inquest made? Is it likely that at
this time decomposed body can be recog-
nized? Not at all If his family had
wanted to prove his death they should have
had the body disinterred and examined
right away. There was no sense in this
waiting year, unless it was in the hope
that decomposition would destroy all evil
dence that would lead to identification"
''What about the marks, such as the filed
teeth?"
'They are nonsensical and untrue. Mr..
Hamilton had very sound teeth. Not one
was filled or decayed and not one removed.
He never had bit of trouble with them,
and there were no gold or silver filings in
his mouth"
In conclusion Eva declared her belief that
Ray was still alive, and that she would yet
see him.

POLITICS IN THE STATE AND NATION


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATCH.t
BLOOMSBURY, Oct. 15.-The receptions
to the Democratic candidates for Auditor
General and State Treasurer are increasing
In magnitude and enthusiasm as the party
passes from town to town. There was a
great outpouring of people at Scranton last
night to greet Messrs. Wright and Tilden,
but it did not exceed that of the yeomanry
OF old Columbia county who turned out
here to-day and tonight to shake hands.
The party arrived here at noon to-day
and were met by County Chairman Town
send and many leading Democrats. They
visited the fair in the afternoon, where they
met many thousand people. To-night's s
meeting in the Court House was monster
affair, the large room being packed with en-
thusiastic farmers from all parts of the coun-
ty. Candidates Tilden and Wright, John
H. Fow and D. G. Dewitt were
the speakers. Such prominent men as
eI-Congressman Charles R. Buckalew, Judge
1keler, Associate Judges Murphy and Mil
lard, Assemblymen Tewkesbury and Kirsch-
baum, Sheriff Casey, County Commissioners
Rittenhouse and Edgar, and many other
local leaders were present. John G. Freeze
presided. All the speeches were well re-
ceived, especially that of Mr.. Wright, when
he said if elected he would open the books
of the Auditors Generals office and "turn
on the light" This brought down the
house amid cries of CHATS what we want :"
Chairman Townsend says he has good
organization, and that the farmers, ire
spective of party, are thoroughly aroused
over the rotten condition of affairs at Har-
risburg and the Importance of the coming
election for good State government.

CAMPBELL GETS WITTY
IN REBUKING REPUBLICANS FOR
~ CALLING HIM A CLOWN,

Fun for the Farmers at Democratic Meet
ings-The Governor Says They are En-
titled to It-A Free Trade Speech to
$500 of Them.
ST. MARY's, O., Oct. 15.-[ Especial. l.
Governor Campbell and party drove from
Celina to New Bremen this morning, a
distance of II miles. The latter is quaint
German town of 1 800 inhabitants, and most
all of them are Democrats. There was a
procession and booming cannon to meet him.
Despite the raw, chilly day, the meeting
was held in the open air. The farmers
turned out well, and there were probably
$500 people about the speakers stand
The Governor began his speech by witty
rebuke to the Republican papers, which
charged that he was making clown of
himself. He said: 'The Republican
papers complain that there is al
together too much hilarity at our
meetings Well, We are having little
fun, owing to the absurd claims of the ad-
vocates of the high tariff. 1t cannot be ex-
straight when we expose the ludicrous Re-
publican claims. But why do the Repub-
lican papers begrudge the farmers of Ohio
the little fun they are having at the Demo-
cratic meetings. 1t is quite sure that they
are not having any fun on their farms these
days in these times of piping peace and
high tariff. [Applause].
The Governor then launched out into a
free trade speech and made an effort to
show that the Mckinley law operated
against the American farmers After the
meeting there was another drive of seven
miles to st. Mary's, where the night meet
ing was held.

NEBRAsKA's GOVERNOR.
The United States Supreme Court VIII
Have to Decide Who He Is.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Ex-Attorney
General Garland, of counsel for plaintiff,
will next Monday file a motion in the Su-
preme Court of the United States to advance
and set for hearing the case of James E.
Boyd, plaintiff in error, versus the State of
Nebraska ex rel John NJ. Thayer. The
case comes to the Supreme Court on writ
of error from the Supreme Court of Ne
braska 1t involves the right to the office
of Governor of the State of Nebraska for the
period of two DAYS from the first Thursday
after the first Tuesday of January, 1891.
The Supreme Court of Nebraska held that
Boyd was not eligible to the Office of Cover
nor, to which he had been elected, because
he was not a citizen of the United States for
two years prior to November 4, 1890
Mr.. Garland in support of his motion will
argue that the Supreme Court has iuris-
diction in the matter. Nearly one-half of
plaintiffs term of Office must expire before
this cause can be finally determined, be that
as early as possible, and if the case is per-
mitted to remain and ''bide its time" on the
docket, not only will such term wholly ex-
pire, but it is quite probable two other gen.
eral elections will be held in Nebraska be-
fore this controversy is finally disposed of

CORN BREAD IN GERMANY.
Secretary Rusk's Agent Endeavoring to In
troduce Maize There.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Secretary Rusk
is in receipt of communication from
Colonel j. c. Murphy, a special agent in
Europe on behalf of the maize industry.
Colonel Murphy proceeded to Berlin by the
Secretary's instruction short time ago, in
order to take advantage of the present short
age of the cereal crops of Europe by pre-
senting to the attention of the German pee
pie and Government the importance and
value of American Indian corn as a cheap
and nutritious substitute for other cereal
foods
Colonel Murphy states that he has been
able to produce bread composed in part of
rye and part of corn, which has been highly
commended by all those to whom samples
have been submitted, as a most satisfactory
substitute for the ordinary rye bread in gen
eral use among certain classes in Germany,
and this at cost, based on the present price
of rye -four and cornmeal in Germany, less
than the cost of bread made exclusively of
rye -four and now retailed in that city.
Should special concessions in the matter of
tariff duties be secured from the German
Government on Indian corn, the outlook
for large increase in our exports of that
product to Germany would, in the opinion
of Colonel Murphy, be most promising.

SUCCORED BY HER DOG.
A NOBLE CANINE BRINGS RELIEF TO
HIS HERMIT MISTRESS.

The Aged Woman Was Stricken Win Par
to Her Bedside From Cupboard by
the Faithful Dog.
WILKEsBARRE, Oct. Is. - Especial i
Granny" Farrell is one of the distin-
guished residents of the village of Sturmer-
vile. She is go years old. For 81 years
she has been a widow. Her husband was
killed in the war. She draws a good PEN
sion, but insists on living the life of her
nit. She has no relatives, and lives in a
little frame house quarter of mile from
the nearest neighbor. She was last seen in
Pittston about the middle of September
She told a storekeeper there that she had
laid in her winters supply of provisions
and would soon lock herself up. "Granny's"
neighbors knew what that meant.
Every winter she locks herself I'D and
nobody sees her until the spring again.
When the house was closed daylight ne YER
entered. She lived by Iamp1ight. She
always claimed the light Of winter was
cold and that she burned less coal when the
house was closed up tight. "Grannv's"
only companion was big Newfoundland
dog When she went to the cellar for coal
the dog would always accompany her. He
would take the coal bucket in his mouth
and carry it up stairs. He would do this
with the ash bucket. Dick, like his mis-
tress, would never leave the house in
winter.
On Saturday last the dog made his escape
from the house. He went to Mrs. Sackey's,
the nearest neighbor, and set up a fearful
barking. He would start off toward the
house of his mistress, whining, and then re-
turn again. Mrs. Sackey also said old
Granny" was either dead or very sick.
The dog leaped with jov when three persons
started off with him. Arriving at the house
the dog went to cellar hole, where he had
made his exit from the house. 1t was found
that he had torn away two big boards which
had been nailed fast. His front Jaws were
badly lacerated and his mouth was verv sore.
The Sackeys broke down the door, and
when they entered they found Granny"
more dead than alive. She had been
stricken with paralysis The last food she
took was bologna sausage and hard crackers.
The sausage had been dragged from a cup
board to the bed by the dog. He now oc-
eupies place at the foot of his mistress
bed. The doctor says Granny" cannot live.

MILLS IN THE LEAD.
Chances Favor the Texas Free Trader
for the Speakership.
FARMER HATCH AS A COMPROMISE,
In Case q Deadlock Arises Between Mills
and His Rival, Crisp.
THIS is HARDLY EXPECTED, HOWEVER
rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-The presence of
both Mills and Crisp, the leading Demo-
cratic candidates for the House Speaker
ship, in the city for couple of days has led
to more careful analysis of the situation
than heretofore. A concensus of opinion
seems to indicate certainty that the mantle
of Reed will fall upon either Mills or Crisp,
with the chances strongly in favor of the
hot-headed and ill-judging free trader from
Texas, instead of the cool, judicial, semi
tariff man from Georgia
So far as hands have been shown the two
run nearly equal in numerical support, but
it is pretty certain that the uncommitted
are, majority of them, in favor of Mills,
and that the supporters of the minor candi-
dates, Springer, Mcmillan, Bynum and
Hatch, are largely so from local association,
and favorable in the main to Mills after
their own candidates are out of the way.
Some are even not so full of local patriot
ism, and, like Hon. John O'Neill, of Mis-
souri,, are for Mills from the first, though
the humorous O'Neill should naturally be
for Hatch.
If the contest results in deadlock be-
tween Mills ana Crlsp, II is more tnan pos
sible that Farmer Hatch, of Missouri, would
be the lucky candidate, as a warm friend
ship is manifested for him in every direc-
tion. A deadlock, however, is not looked
upon as probable. The keenest unpreiu-
diced calculators say that from the present
view Of the situation Mills will have on the
first ballot so nearly the number necessary
to nominate that the scattering votes will at
once gravitate to him and give him all that
is wanting.
A good indication of the drift of feeling
is found in the fact that the leading candi-
dates for the minor positions are rushing
over one another to make terms with Mills,
and one of the chief of these was a very
few weeks ago firm adherent of Crisp. A
curious feature of this condition of things
is that many of the strongest supporters of
Mills believe that his election will be a
grave mistake, on account of his unruly
temper, and that any of the others would be
far safer, if less prominent in the party lead
ership.
1t cannot be denied that Mills is unani-
mously the candidate of the Republicans,
and this adds to the sinister character of the
forecaste made by Mills doubling support
ers, but it looks as if they could not
abaSion their position.

date.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Judge Crisp, OF
Georgia, is very hopeful of his chances in
the Speakership contest. He is confidently
expecting practically solid vote from the
South. He also has assurances from North
ern and Eastern Democrats.
"The real contest for the Speakership,
said the Judge, twill not begin until after
the November election. The campaign will
likely be short and sharp. am very well
satisfied with my prospects. have fiat
tering number of personal pledges. The
canvass will be lively from the fact that SO
many new members are coming in. 1t has
been remarked that not for many years have
there been so many uncommitted votes in
the Speakership question. This, presume
is true. Over half of the next Congress
will be composed Of new men, the majority
being proportionately Democratic. These
new members naturally want to meet the
candidates and make their personal ac-
quaintance before they pledge their sup
port"
Judge Crisp said he had been depending
largely on newspaper accounts for his
knowledge of his opponents movements,
and from what he had learned that way he
had no cause to be disheartened. The
Judge is about entering upon busy cam
paign in the interest of Democracy in Ohio,
New York and Massachusetts,. He Is now
on his way to Cincinnati, where he will
make his first speech for Governor Camp
bell next Monday.
eve must win the race in Ohio" he said,
speaking of the national significance attach
ing to the campaign in that State. "Should
Mr.. Mckinley be elected it will be an in
dorsement of the new tariff law, which We
hold is iniquitous and unjust in its opera
tions. That is the issue in the Buckeye
State, and the eyes of the whole country
are turned toward the fight there. Governor
Campbell, to my mind, is gaining ground
daily He is mailing his opponents down to
the issue, despite their efforts to bring in
extraneous questions"
He expressed great surprise and gratifca-
tion at the latest news from Pennsylvania.
The Judge agrees that if the Democrats win
in Pennsylvania this fall Governor Pattison
will be one of the foremost candidates for
the Presidential nomination.
