MRS. BARNABY'S MURDER
No Developments at Denyer-Tho
Criminals to be Hunted Down,

There are no new developments in
the Barnaby poisoning case ut Denver,
except that Prof. Sewall, who has made
an analysis of the liquor in the fatal
bottle, says that it does not contain a
particle of alcohol, but Is probably
nothing more than Fowlers solution
of Arsenic.
In special from Providence, r. J.,
Henry b. Wiuship, the financial head
Of the j. X. Barnaby company, in
speaking Of Mrs. Barnaby's death, is
reported as saying: There was muir
der. In my judgment the motive of
gain inspired il. A mothers life Is
safe in her daughters keeping especial
" when one daughter is in France and
one in Montana. ] believe the person
who sent that bottle knew more about
the victim than any stranger could
learn by heresay. IL IL simply pre-
posterous TO consider il deep mystery

number of whom | could count on the
fingers of one hand. ! am u trustee
for the Barnaby estate, and have got II

grams from Denver that make more

consented TO cooperate in connection
with the Province and Denver police.
If necessary, the Pnkertons will also
be engaged and put ON the trail.
There will be no such thing as an e5-
cape for the murderer, for he shall not
find safe hiding place on the earth.

FEDERAL FINANCES.
Secretary Foster Again Inter
viewed

Secretary Foster, speaking to an
Associated Press reporter concerning
financial matters said that in his opinion
the government would be able to take
care of all It's obligations, and In addi-
ton TO the 1886, 600, 600 of bonds al
ready retired by this administration il
would, in his opinion add consider
able amount in the two years that still
remain, Concerning the 800, 900, 600
legal tender gold in the treasury, the
government did not expect any condi-
ton OF affairs would arise which would
make Il necessary for the government
to touch It. He intimated however
this fund might be used without legis-
latiye action, in ease of absolute neces-
sity. TO prevent discredit to govern
ment obligations. The first of tho
steps contemplated by Secretary Foster
for getting the subsidiary coin into cir
culation was taken when notice
signed by Treasurer Nebeker was sent
to the banks and bankers throughout
the United States that coinage of the
standard silver dollars having been
discontinued the treasurer finds II in
convenient 10 issue them, except In re-
dcmption of silver certificates, but he
vii forward silver half dollars, quart
ers, and dimes free of cost for trans
portation in exchange for any other
kind of money deposited in the treas
ury of any sub-trcasury or depository
bank.

FOREST FIRES.
Great Destruction in the Woods OF
New Jersey.

The forest fires in New Jersey are
assuming alarming proportions and
have not been exceeded in thirty years.
At night the sky is illuminated for
many miles. Trees near Conoverton
and Post Republic took fire from u
spark from u passing locomo-
tive and western gale famed
the flame So that the whole forest
south of Pomona was blazing. Achange
in the wind saved Absecom from de-
struction, but the fire was diverted in
Der in that section. The flames had
reached Conoverton, and the citizens
turned out To fight them. The efforts
were useless and those living on the
edge of town, removed their effects to
the open and watched their houses
burn. Great excitement prevailed and
for awhile il was feared the whole
town was doomed. All the wooded
land in the direction of the shore road
burned. Late in the afternoon the
wind went down and assisted hundreds
OF men TO get the fire under control.
II was hard work and water was scarce.
The loss in timber alone Is over $780,
600. The fire broke out again west of
Pleasantville, and surrounded the
place. One fire destroyed 1000 acres.
Fire started in the forest below Will
Jamestown Junction and hundreds of
acres of woods have been destroyed,
but most of the farm houses were
saved. The fire is burning furiously
near Atco. Hundreds of men IRE out
fighting it, and endeavoring to save
the buildings in its course. Another
branch is sweeping through the ave-
nues of Chiselhurst. The people have
been fighting the fire long time and
are fatigued and discouraged. Tho
town and surrounding country is COW
cred with cloud of black smoke, Fire
above the Crew road destroyed thou
sands Of acres Of small wood and II
great stretch of cedar swamp.

his fortune TO make he and few COM
panions were on n prospecting tour.
hlong in the afternoon they sighted "a
band OF Indians, and, ms in those days
all Indians were hostile, Mr.. Hearst
and his friends naturally wanted TO get
away from there. All the prospcctors,
except the future senator, were mount
ci on horses. He was on retired
army mule and soon found himself
loft in the rear. The Indians were on
his trail and things began to look seri-
Gus, when he called out TO his rapidly
disappearing companions:
Hold on, boys; there's only few
OF them. We needn't bo afraid"
just then the mule scented the APP
preaching Indians, and with "a wild
snort started out at IA gait that soon
left the horsemen far behind. When
Hearst was about "a quarter OF a mile
in advance he turned in his saddle and
yelled at the top OF his voice:

Edward Reed, Receives His
Deserts.

Judge kettello sentenced George
BARLEY, Che murderer OF Edward Reed
in Chicago, TO life Imprisonment. In
pronouncing the sentence the court res
viewed the evidence Mt considerable
length, and said he could come to no
other conclusion but that II wasu calm,
deliberate murder, without the slight
est provocation; that IL appeared that
Barley went to the place where Reed
worked, armed, and after having made
threats, There were no oxtenuating
circumstances that warranted u lighter
sentence. BARLEY took the sentence
quietly, and had evidently prepared
himself for the worst. None Of his rel
atiyes were in court, his aged mother,
who has been constant attendant In
court during the trial, being absent for
the first time. The murder Of Reed
took place May H. 1890, at the South
ern White Lead works. There had
been strike and BARLEY had quit
work. Reed was foreman and remained,
which incensed the strikers. Barley
and some others went to the works to
create u disturbance and Reed was first
assaulted and then shot. He made u
dying declaration that BARLEY shot him.

The last Of tire famous Borgias has
just died in the most abject poverty at
Gingi. near Saizberg, and his widow
has been removed to a public hospital
in dying condition, the consequence
of privation. The deceased was the

the last of the race to bear the rank
and honor Of prince and his father
was Baron Friedrich Borgia, a profess
sai in Essegg. The deceased himself
made living as small official and
afterward as a photographers. Ill
health prevented him from providing
for old age, and the descendant of

last year of existence as street medi-
cant. His wife was washerwoman,
who. womanlike thought the title
ample compensation fer the disadvan-
tages of the connection.
