PARNELL's MOTHER and brother have left
this country for Ireland to try to stra1ghten

ruined that prospect.

contents Of his sand box before he got
through the swamp and reached clear
stretch of track. 1t was thought that
trip would be the end of the cater
pillar trouble, but the very next day
a train encountered another army of
caterpillers crossing the trestle.
and bad the same difficulty
The Charlotte-bound passenger train
yesterday had a similar experience and
a passenger says the scene was some
thing truly wonderful. The rails and
cross ties of the trestle were actually
obscured from sight. The masses OF
caterpillars and the ground and swamps
OH each side of the track were
Uttered with the mashed frag-
ments of millions of the caterpillars
from the wheels of passing trains, and
from this mass an uncomfortable stencil
arose. Where the caterpillars came
from is not known. The farmers on
this side of the swamp express no un-
easiness for the safety of their crops so
long as the advancing army persists in
uSlnng the trestle as its means of get
ting across the streams, for none of
them have got more than half way
across before a train would come along
and convert them into fertilizer.

Another Jack, the Ripper, Is
Caught On Long Island.
New YORK, May 2.-The police au-
thorities at Jamaica, Long Island. ans
nounced to-day that they had man ins
custody supposed to be the MISS
ing &C. KDicklo," who went to
the East River hotel on Thursday
night, April 23, with Carrie Brown,
the woman afterward found brutall-
murdered. The prisoner. who was ar
rested last night, is reported to be about
thirty-two years or age, with light hair
and moustache, and otherwise agrees
with Mary Mineter's description of the
man who went to the hotel with the,
Ripper's victim. The prisoner gave his
name as Charles Holland, and said his
business was that of an organ tuner.
and that he lived at Rye, n. Y. When
searched, two bloody haudkerchiefs
were found upon him. Holland said he
had spent the night of April 23, which
was the night of the murder, with
woman, in the New England
hotel, on the Bowery, i'm New
York City. He accounted for the blood
stains on his handkerchief by saying
that he had been assaulted the previous
night by two men and had his head cut,
using the handkerchiefs TO stanch the
flow of blood. Holland was held to
await the arrival of Inspector Byrnes'
detectives. The Jamaica authorities
feel sure that this is the man wanted.

NEW YORK. May 2-Frenchy No. 1,
who is said to be the murderer of Carrie
Brown, is now confined i'll the ombs.
Frenchy was visited by United
Press reporter in his cell to-day
He would say nothing in English,
so the reporter spoke to him in French
He said: Il did not sleep in the East
River hotel the night before the murder.
l slept in Brooklyn. | can't tell just
which place, but the police know. On
the night of the murder | slept in the
East River hotel. | went in about Md
night. and gave the boy Eddie 25
cents | was in there only once before

all night. l was there but short time
the night after the murder. | was tired

and walked out without meeting any
body. [ begged the money for my
lodgings. l was not drunk. l did not
run away. | was looking for work when
they arrested me-" When asked to ac-
count for the blood on his clothes he
wore on the night of the murder, he
said the blood on his clothes came from
man with whom he had a quarrel
short time before. ''They are old stains,
and did not amount to anything" Re
gardIng the blood on his underwear, he
said the woman with whom he went to
the hotel before the murder was indis-
posed, and he left her shortly
after they went to the room. Here he
became excited and wildly declared that
he never killed the woman. Il never
killed any woman, and | never met the
murdered woman in my life" ''Did you
ever bite Mary Ann Lohe?" He would
not answer. and claimed he did not
know the woman by that name. He ac-
knowledged having been locked up
in the Queens county Jail, i'll
Long Island City, for thirty days.
Two prisoners there told the
officials that Frenchy then had knife
which was identical with the one found
in the murdered woman's room.
Frenchy to-day denied ever having the
knife, or having one in the jail.
Frenchy said he was born In Algeria
thirty-four years ago, and is married.
His wife is in Algeria. He served
eight years in the French army. and
lett Algeria two years ago. From there
he went to Brazil, and arrived
in this country eight months ego. His
right name, he said, is Ben Ali, but here
he is known as Frenchy and George
Frank. He never went by the name of
Sharlock. In concluding, he said: 81
never murdered the woman. They have
made great mistake"

CuICAGo. May 2.--It is expected that
at the next meeting of the Western Pas
senger association, next Tuesday, the
Chicago IL Alton will give notice of its
proposed withdrawal. The managers
of the other roads are debating in their
own minds whether it is better to let
the association 90 to pieces or to antag-
Onize their Eastern connections by
giving aid to the Alton, and thus keep
In the agreement one of the lines that
are necessary to It's perpetuatiOn. The
board of rulings of the Eastern roads is
apparently much encouraged by an
opinion expressed by Vice President
Z. p Ripley, of the Chicago, Milwaukee
IL st. Paul. who said in all inter
view that the Alton cannot possibly
win the fight. An Alton official re-
mai ked to-day: "'What Mr.. Ripley hap
pens TO think is of no concern to us. We
are neither going to back down nor lose
this fight. Strong influences are being
brought TO bear by the Eastern roads
TO force us to yield to their
demands, but they will not
succeed. Should they manage to
injure our revenue we shall not hesitate
to adopt any measures that may seem
necessary for our own protection. If
the Alton is forced to reduce rates to 2
cents a mile between terminal points
we can assure our Western friends
that they will never again be able
to get them laised above that
figure" Other people say they would
not be surprised to see rates go down to
IS between Chicago and Kansas City
and 81 between Chicago and st. Louis
before the fight is over. 1t is said that
the Vandalia joined the boycott because
it was told that It's refusal to do so
would result III the Big Four resuming
traffic relations with the Alton, and
such a step on its part would virtually
defeat the aims of the board of rulings.
