HANOVER. N. H., Aug. S1.-During
the last day the man known to the au-
thorities as Frank Almy stayed at the
Wheelock hotel he told Sheriff Wheeler
that the necktie case which Christie
Warden made and gave him at Christ
mas was hidden under the feed manger
in Mr.. Warden's cattle barn. and a
search made there to-day revealed the
holiday gift. The outside was of cham
DIS skin, decorated with hand-painted
pansies. 1t was lined with surah silk
and bound with pink ribbon, on which
Almy had written From Christie. !"
1t contained two neckties. Further in
vestigation in the same locality re-
suited in the finding of silver scarf
pin. some pencled sketches made by
Christie and large braid of the victims
hair, perhaps cut from her head after
the assassin had completed his work
under the willows, There were also a
dozen verses of sentimental poetry in
the murderer's handwriting, some of it
original. Another package contained
four handkerchiefs with the initial sc"
in the corner. The paper wrapped
around the handkerchiefS was leaf
from gnn catalogue, and on it he had
written For Christie" From the same
hiding place were taken ten unopened

MoTIvELEss MURDER.
An Aged Connecticut Couple Bru-
tally Done to Death.


HARTFORD, Conn.,. Aug. 31.-A muir
der more fendlsh than any in the an
mails of crime in this county was COM
mitted in Bloomfield at an early hour
yesterday morning. AT that time Henry
Frederick Bushenhagen, aged sixty
nine years, and his wife Emily, aged
seventy-one. were killed by tramp to
whom they had given shelter. Not con-
tent with simply killing them. he had
frightfully mutilated their bodies and
then thrown the bleeding corpses into
an old well. When the fearful crime
was made known the excitement in
Bloomfield was intense. Men, worked
into passion Of wrath, hunted through
the adjacent woods intent on appre-
hendlng the assassin, but without avail.
The murder was suspected last night.
but not until this morning were the
bodies found. Neighbors who came for
the purpose of investigating found signs
of a. struggle in the barn, and noticed
that the curb OF the well, ten feet away,
was not in place. Peering down, the
bodies were seen floating on the Shiny,
bloCd-stained water. When they were
removed and an examination was made,
it was found that Mr.. Bushenhagen's
body had four large wounds jim the head,
probably made with coupling pin,
which was found in the yard. One of
the wounds was three inches long, and
the skull was crushed to the depth of
four inches. On Mrs. Bushenhagen's
body were five wounds, every one of
: which crushed the skull. These are be-
leved to have been made with an axe.
Robbery was not the motive for the
murder. No article was missing from
the house, and it was evident that the
murderer's first thought after placing
the bodies in the we'll was to get away
from the scene.

TILLMAN Is wRArHY.
The Louisville Cashier Says There
Is No Shortage.

40 NO oIOfIdse.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 3l.-TilIman.
the cashier of the defunct Fall City
Bank of Louisville, KY, is safely across
the Canadian line in Windsor. He is
registered in his own name at the Craw-
ford house. He arrived Saturday even
ing. A dispatch from Louisville was
read to him which stated that he had
fled to avoid arrest for embezzling bank
and trust funds.
ut is not true, he declared. "There
is nc shortage, and any one that pub
fishes the matter will be held RESPONSE
bic. The bank was bound up and July
10 assigned to the Mechanics Trust
company. The shortage of $50, GOO does
not exist. For three weeks after the
assignment l was engaged, together
with MIR. Sanders, who is secretary of
the Trust company, in winding up the
affairs of the bank. If there was a
shortage, why did they not say some-
thing at the time? An examination
had then been made. / Was, and am
still cashier of the bank, as long as the
charter exists"
He was very much agitated while
talking. He declared the bank officials
and his family knew he was going away,
and that there was no secrecy about it.
He said he came to Windsor on personal
business, which was none of the public's.
and that he would return to Louisville
when that business was finished. On
the other hand it is claimed in Louis
vile that $4,000 is to be added to the
shortage in Bis accounts, making $780,
900 in all. HIS only bondsman is Charles
II. Petite, his brother-in-law, and, while
last years legislation would secure Till
mans extradition, it is not believed that
Petite will prosecute. The report that
the Guarantee company, of New York;
was on Tlllman's bond is incorrect.

BOUGHT HIS LIBERTY,
But Love for His Family Put Him
Again in Limbo.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 31.-Detectives ar
rived from Cleveland this morning with
James Anderson, the widely known
prisoner whose sensational arrest and
still more sensational escape from the
Hamilton county Jail has given him
prominence. Anderson was suspected
of being a burglar. His house on Price
hill was watched, and one night an at
tempt was made to capture him and
confederate. Anderson and the police
men both USED revolyers, the confeder-
ate escaping. Anderson was shot in the
leg and sent to jail to await trial. Six
weeks ago escaped. Every effort was
made to show that he had broken Jail,
but it was discovered that he had been
liberated by moneys and four jail officials
have been discharged.
Chief of Police Deitsch, knowing that
Anderson was passionately fond of his
wife and babies, has kept a close watch
on them. When they went to Cleve-
land Saturday night he caused de-
tectiye to follow, and when Anderson
met his family he was arrested. An
derson declares he will not betray his
liberators in jail, though he does not
deny that he bought his freedom. He
says the proposition was made to him.
He will be returned to Jail. 1t is proba-
BILE that he may again buy his liberty.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Aug. 81. - A
wreck occurred on the Carmelton
branch of the Air Line railroad about
II O'Clock this morning, in which four
lives were lost. thirteen badly hurt and
eighteen slightly injured. The fiange
OF one of the forward trucks of the
engine broke while the train was run
ming at the rate of about thirty miles an
hour. The train at the time was OH a
trestle two miles from Troy, Ind, The
engine passed over the trestle and
plunged down the embankment. The
train was a mixed one, the passenger
coach being next to the engine. The
coach followed the engine into the ditch
and rolled over on top of it. 1t was oc-
cupled by about thirty people. The
steam pipes gave way and the scalding
steam entered the coach. Many of the
passengers were women and children.
Their screams were appalling. AS soon
as those who were slightly injured ex-
trlcated themselves they began the
work of rescue.
All were gotten out, but none escaped
injury. Many were so badly burned
that their flesh was cooked in places
until 1t came or. Barbara Nefmeyer,
eighteen years, daughter of wealthy
farmer Of Perry county, was taken out
dead, having been terribly scalded.
Mrs. Canaough, of Terry, Ind, was ter
ribly burned and will die. Her little
ten-year-old son was taken from the
wrecked coach and died before reach
ing home. Emma Schue, ten years, died
after being taken out from her terrible
burns. Jacob App, engineer, and Fire
man John Tolle went down with the
wreck. Both are scalded, but not ia
tally. Conductor James Gordon is dam
gerously hurt, having number of RIBS
broken. The scene of the wreck is iso-
lated, and the information is meagre.
Only one telegraph wire reaches it, and
that has been down for hours. 1t is I'M
possible to learn the names of the in
jhred. A physician at the wreck said
that the death list would probably reach
ten or twelve. ~
The most severely injured are: Katie
Kelshoe, Sidney Hess Henry Bodine,
Michael Eiberthorne, William Newman.
Mrs. William Chase and child, Maggie
Hudson. Maurice Durbin and G. E.
Bolt. The wounded are all at Tell City,
and are receiving careful attention.

SLAIN IN THEIR SIN.
Two Worthless Vagabonds Shot
for Murder i'm Michigan.

MONROE, Mich. Aug. 31.-JOhn VIII
kinson and his wife were brutality tor
tured and murdered by two tramps Sat-
urday afternoon at their farm near
here. The motive of the tramps was
robbery. They found the couple alone
at home late in the afternoon, and de-
manded from Wilkinson sum of money
which they had learned he had recently
received. Wilkinson refused, where
upon the tramps set upon the farmer
and his wife, and, after beating
them in the most cruel manner, in the
hope of eXtorting from them the hiding
place of their money. Failing in this,
the trampS became enraged and finished
their fiendish work by numbering the
couple. Retribution, however. was
quick, and justice of the most summary
nature was dealt out to the fends. A
ten-yeaI-old son of Farmer Wilkinson,
who had been in an clubhouse, heard
the shriekS of his mother and gave the
alarm. The tramps fled, but were hotiy
pursued by posse of citizens, who
came upon them near Maybee station.
They were not even given time to say
their prayers, but were shot on sight by
the Infatuated citizens. Their bodies
were completely riddled with bullets.

thus far to-day relative to affairs IN
Chilli. Although they do not expect any
detailed news OF movements of the
troops, or the happenings of more inn
portant events, they do expect brief adj
vices when matters of unusual import
ance occur.
Senior Montt. the principal envoy. re-
fuses to discuss his future action to-
wards attempting to receive recognition
for the constitutional government from
the United States. When spoken TO
about the matter he said, in effect, that
he was willing to tell what was going on
III Chill, but that he begged to be ex-
cused from telling what was going on
In Washington. Senior Montt expects
the Junta, which has LETT Iquique for
Santiago. to reach Valparaiso in about
three days. The distance, he says, is
between 800 and 900 miles.
The CHILEAN situation, so far as the
United States government is advised,
has not changed within the past twenty
four hours. The dispatches re-
ceiyed this morning are merely
OF confirmatory character, and
throw but little additional light
on affairs. No steps has been taken
towards recognizing the insurgent party
as the ruling party of Chill. Neither
CHILEAN Minister LaZcano nor the con-
gressional ENJOYS, Messrs. Montt and
Foster, were at the state department to-
day. Secretary Blaine is kept con-
stantly advised by Acting Secretary
Wharton of the Chilian situation.
