A LIGHT ON ALMY's CASE

A Visit He Made With Two Revolvers to .
Supposed Rivals House.
Hanover, NH, August M.-Miss Jeanette
Thomas. relative Of Prof Pattee, whose con-
nec.ion with the Amy case has often been re-
ferred to. tells a story of midnight visit re-
ceived from the murderer July Is.
two days before the murder of Chris
tine Warden. This night Miss Thomas
slept in the room usually occupied by Christie
Warden when she stayed at the house Of Prof.
Pattee. she was aroused in her sleep by a noise
in the room. She sat up and asked who was
there. Her throat was instantly grasped by q
hand and voice whispered: keep still; I'll
not Injure you.
The intruder thon asked her If this was not
Christie Wardens room and where Christie
was. Miss Thomas told him Christie had left
the house in the afternoon. He demanded to
know Miss Thomas identity and he said to
her:
II am tho lover of Christie Warden. Her
parents and sisters oppose my suit and ! cam
not see her at her home" He then said to her:
Don't you ever mention this nights work to
her or TO anybody. You see how it is. II
it were known that any man had entered her
be blasted forever. You would not
want to have that occur. now would your" he
asked, with q sarcastic laugh
He then pressed pistol against her breast
and made her take a solemn oath never TO
betray him. He then said he had been in the
room before and asked if the door was fastened.
Miss Thomas knew by this time that he was
lying as the door has no fastening on it
He then forced an object into her hand,
which proved to be 4+caliber revolver cart
ridge. He told her to guard 1t carefully and
let it be always a reminder Of her
oath, for if she ever breathed a
SYLLABLE of this affair he would kill
her. The intruder then departed. Miss
Thomas story confirms theory that had long
obtained among those inferred in the case. but
which has been withheld from the public.
Almy was wildly jealous of Prof. Pattie and OF
this jealousy most cruel and unjust
suspicion was born. involving the professor and
Miss Warden. This undoubtedly accounts for
the midnight visit to Pattee's house, where the
murderer hoped to find substantiation for his
suspicion and where he went armed with his
two revolvers prepared to kill both suspected
persons.

TENNIS AT NEWPORT.
Hobart and Hall Contest for the Honor of
Meeting Hovey.

Meetlng hOyey.
NEWPORT, R. l., August 24.-One of the
famous Newport fogs came on last night. fol-
lowed by heavy mist and rain. but. as on
the skies cleared before morning
This morning Clarence Hobart and V. G.
Hall played a match in the semi
final round in the international tennis
tournament to see who should have
the right to contest against F. H. Hovey to-
morrow for the all-comers' prize Hobart's
drives were simply terrific in the first
set, and he forced Hall to drive out
of court time and again. Hobart's
game resembled much the style of play used
by George Kerr, the Irish professional, two
years ago. Hall tried playing at Hobart's back
hand to prevent the famous Lawford, but then
Hobart would seize the chance nearly every
time to place down the side lines The first
set went to Hobart, to 2.
Hobart did not play with quite SO much &C.
curacy in the second set while Hall played o
strong defensive game. Hall had more success,
too, in playing against his opponents back
hand, but Hobart managed to pull out the set
g to 4.
Like the two previous sets, Hobart had the
set well in hand from the start, his play being
the finest ever seen by an amateur at Newport.
Hobart took the last set. to 2.

CHINA AND THE FOREIGNERS.
Missionary Laughlin Says Chinese Score,
Society Started the Agitation.


BALTIMORE, Nd, August 24-Rev. l. H.
Langhlin, who has been Presbyterian mis-
sionary in northern China for over ton years.
has returned to this country and is now in this
city. In an interview yesterday in reference
to the recent outbreaks in China Mr.. Laughlin
said: Il think the government is strong
enough to quell any uprising which threatens
its overthrow. Already it has decapitated
some OF the ringleaders in the riot. II is
feared, however. that revolution will break
out on the festival of the eighth month.
The people of southern China are more tur-
bulent than those in the north and riots often
occur. A secret society there called Kolon
started the agitation against foreigners. The
strength of the society is unknown. The gov
eminent is apprehensive that in the Chinese
army the secret society is gaining influence.
AT some of the missionary stations the lady
missionaries have withdrawn, leaving the men
in sole charge. 1 hardly think rebellion will
be successful, as the government is too strong.
This recent trouble has caused proclamation
to be issued which was more favor
able to Christians and Christianity
than any ever issued. It said the
Christians aimed to do the Chinese good and
were not q menace to the country. / am of the
opini OF that the leaders in the riots want TO
embroil the government in war with foreign
power by attacking foreign residents. Most Of
the attacks were against the French. The last
war with France was settled in a patchwork
manner and the French are more hated than
any other class Of foreigners. The trouble up
to this time has been confined to few central
provinces"

PIsce Disaster.
NEw YORK, August 2i.-wm. H. Randall. sec
rotary of the board of fire underwriters, today
issued a call to twelve insurance companies to
send representatives to meet this afternoon.
All the companies had issued policies to
the owners of the Taylor building or to tenants
in it. Only the representatives Of the two COM
panies answered the call. They also took the
ground that the insurance companies
are not responsible for any losses on the
the laws OF the state. which says that IF
building or any part thereof falls except
as the result OF fires. all insurance
by this policy on such building or its contents
sfall Immediately cease. Another clause also
states that the companies are not responsible
for damage in case OF an explosion.
FIFTY BODIES STILL IN THE RUINS.
So far only the edge Of the ruins has been
searched. Down beneath the center Of the
buildings are probably the graves of the great
majority of those who have persisted. The
fremen. who have heard all sorts of stories
as to the number of persons in the buildings
when they fell, believe that at least fifty bodies
are still under the debris. Deputy Fire Chief
Reilly 10 Of that opinion, and he has made
careful calculations from the numerous
and contradictory reports submitted to him.

that all the brick and timber can be removed
