Their House
A Father Instructs His Two
Sons to Commit the
Awful Deed
A Big Syndicate Secures Con-
troll Of the Westing-
house interests

STERLING, KY, March 17-Ten days ago
William Ferguson and John Watts died
from poison secretly administered, and
Thursday last John Wiggenton, his wife
and three sons were arrested for the
crime. The wife was released but kept
under surveillance. One son confessed
that, counselled and instructed by the
father, they had put arsenic In the coffee
and killed the two men. Saturday Judge
Apperson released the father and one son.
This angered the people, and very early
Sunday mob attempted TO break into
the Jail, but were frus trated. About 4
o'clock another mob went 10 Wiggenton's
home. Mrs Wiggenton declined TO talk,
whereupon she was hanged upon tree In
the yard. After she was nearly stangled.
she was let down, and on her recovery she
said her two sons, Frank and Charles, did
the poisoning but at the lnstigation OF
their father, who, after the crime had
been committed, commended the deed. 1t
was at once resolved to eXterminute the
family and organize searching party for
the sons and father. When they are
caught, IL Is proposed to hang the father,
mother and children to the same tree.
The authorities are determined that the
two boys In lall one - and the other II
years old, should not be hanged by mob.
and a score OF determined men, armed
| with Winchesters, are on guard. If an
attack Is made on the jail great deal of
| blood will flow. There Is great uneasi-
ness here, and all sorts Of rumors prevail
Of an alarming nature nature. The
| lynchlng of part OF the family Is only a
question of time.

LOWER INSURANCE RATES
Important Object of Mr.. Rich
ards Trip to the City OF
San Francisco
The Insurance Union Will Be
Asked to Re-rate Fair
haven
Firty-six Residents Of Michi-
gan Coming to the
Focal City

Mr. l. s. Richards leaves today for san
Francisco. The object OF his trip is to
try and induce the insurance union TO re-
rate the city OF Fairhaven. The fact has
been apparent for some time that the
rates of insurance charged In Fairhaven
were entirely too high. and an effort has
been made to have them reduced. No
city on the continent has II better or more
perfect water system than Falrhaven.
The supply comes from a lake fed by a
stream which heads In II region OF eter-
nal snow. No pumps or machinery Is re-
quired TO bring the water TO the city, but
a gravity pressure is maintained that en-
ablcs ircmen To throw Il stream over the
tallcst buildings. The city maintains
splendid fire department, the members of
which are alert, active, enthusiastic and
experienced Mr.. Richards has gathered
considerable data, and It 1, hoped that the
Insurance compact will give property
owners some relief from excessive charges.
While In san Francisco Mr.. Richards
will also perfect arrangements for insur-
ing vessels and their caIgoes at this port.
The growing commercial Importance OF
Bcllingham bay VIII cause many vessels
To visit this port aud marine insurance
office viii be- an absolute necessity.

RUMORED RAILROADDEALS
Canadian Pacific Does Not
Intend to Build to
New York
Trying to Arrange Trackage
Privileges Over Other
Railway Lines
A Philadelphia Bank Teller
Absconds With Large
Amount

New YORK, March 1.-THE Times
says: The acquisition by the New York
Central of the Rome, Watertown and
Ogdensburg railroad has given rise TO
much talk and speculation regarding the
future movements OF the Candan Pacific
and the New York, Ontario and Western.
The Canadian Pacific is supposed to be
desirous of coming to New York without
going to the expense Of building any new
line of its own. 1t is in the market for an
advantageous dicker with some other
road
A representative Of the Canadian Pa
cific road informed Times reporter, yes
terday, that while that road would un-
doubtedly like to share In the business af-
forded by New York state, it was not dis
posed to build any road in this country at
present He thought it very likely the
Canadian Pacific railroad would be willing
to embrace any opportunity that might
offer to get into the Adirondack region
over some New York line.
General Manager Van horne of the Can
adian Pacific railroad has had conferences
with President Depew of the New York
Central, about which he will say nothing.
1t Is surmised his mission is to arrange for
a trackage privilege over the Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburg.

ANOTHER MONACO TRoEDY
Supposed Suicide OF DR.. Lindeman Be-
lieved to Have Been Murder

MONACO, March l7-Startllng develop
ments have arisen In the case OF the Eng
llsh physician, DR.. Lindemann, Of Man
chester, who was found dead last Decem-
ber in u ravlne at San Reno. IL was sup
posed at the time that the death had oc-
Cured from accident or that IT was Il
case OF suicide. The police, however,
were not entirely satisfied with this view
Of the case, and as result Of their work
two important arrests were made last
night.
The prisoners are man and woman,
and II the charge against them can be
substantiated the tragedy bids iair TO take
rank with the Eyraud- -Goutfe atrocity In
Paris. 1t is alleged that the woman lured
the doctor to her lodgings, and that while
he was there he was ovcrpOwercd 10y the
man and woman, robbed aud murdered.
The body was then conveyed to the
rayinc, where IL was subscq qucntly discoY
cred. As yet the full details Of the affair
have not been made public, but there
seems little doubt that the guilty parties
are the ones In custody and that the facts
above outlined are supported by evidence
in the hands Of the authorities.

when he left Charing Cross railroad sta

LONDON, March II - A good deal OF
amusement has been caused among the
knowing ones by Timithy Healy's state
ment at Newry that the late Joe BiggaI
ca He'd Parnell 20 task on moral questions
as far back as 1881,
When Joe Biggar died last year he left
"A good slice OF his property to an illegitl-
mate child and nice sum for life TO the
chlld's mother. The Parnelli ties, there
fore, smile when they bear Blggar spoken
of as IA moral mentor He was, how
ever, always esteemed as devoted pa
triot. II the stories going about are true,
there are other niggers in the Irish party
without his brains, and Harrington has
intimated that on little more proyoca-
ton he will point them out.

CURED Saturday at Hauguenau, in Al

violence in dispensing them. The French
man was sent back across the frontier al
