By a Detective.
he ACCUSES THE HUSBAND.
Mrs Miller Claimed to Have Been Muir
dered in Her Own House.

Tho Detective Gains an Acquaintance
With the Dead Woman's Sister, and, AZ
ter Paying Considerable Attention to
EHer. Secures a ConfessiOn-The State
ment to BE Used for n New Trial.
TRENTON, N. J., Sep. 19.-After as fair
and impartial trial as highly intelli-
gent court of justice could provide
Francis Lingo, negro, was some time
ago convicted of the brutal murder of
Mrs. Miller, and is still locked up.
Now it appears that he told the truth
when he declared his innocence of the
crime.
Henry Campbell, Il detective of Phil
adelphia, has made an affidavit in which
he claims to have received confession
that the Miller murder was committed
in Mrs. Miller's own home. That was
the theory sot up by the defense last
spring.
The evidence may be taken before
Master in Chancery George A. Vroon on
an order of the court for presentation to
the Supreme Court, in support of the
motion for a new trial, which is to be
disposed of at the November term.
The trial of Lingo was scarcely over
.4ur0re his counsel renewed their efforts
p E,ehalf of the negro. Detective Camp
DELL was employed and his first move
was to form the acquaintanceShip of
Mary Collins relatives in Philadelphia.
That accomplished, he was introduced
into John Miller's household, of which
Miss Collins was member.
Since the tragedy Campbell has been
much in Miss Collins company. He has
taken her to the theatre and to dances
and has had her out carriage riding.
According to Campbell's affidavit, Miss
| Collins told him the whole story of the
murder of her sister. She said that Mrs.
Miller reached home that afternoon,
went upstairs and was followed by her
husband. The two quarrelled about
! something, and Miss Collins heard her
sister cry out: "Ohi ohn' Miss Collins,
according to Campbell's affidavit, ran to
the stairway and asked:
"What is the matter"
John Miller answered:
''You keep away, or you'll get some,
loo,"
Sometime afterward Miller came down
stairs, completely unnerved and said:
'I'vc killed her"
The affidavit goes on to say that
Miller and Mary Collins started then to
carry the body out for concealmcnt in a
haystack back of the barn, but that Miss
Collns's heart failed her. She sat ut the
window watching until dark, when
Miller got his brother Henry to assist in
carrying the body out. 1t was dressed
und tho men started for the haystack,
the intention being to let it remain there
for few days.
Outside the house, however, it was de
eided to take the body into the bush lot
IN n wagon The throat was cut at the
suggestion of Miller's brother, who, &C
gording to the affidavit, said it would

TROUBLE IN QUEBEC
The Government Expected to
Resign To-Day.
GREAT, EXCITEMENT PREVAILS.
It Would Take Very Little to Raise a
Serious Conflict.

The French Leaders Very Sore Over the
Manner IN Which They Have Been
Treated BY the English Party--A Row
Between Lieut.-Governor Anglers and
Mercier--The Liberals Indignant.
MONTREAL, Sep 1S.-The Province of
Quebec is in the midst of one of the most
important political crisis that has taken
place in many years. So acute is the po-
litical situation that a report was re
ceived here this morning from Quebec
that the Government may resign to-day,
in which case political agitation of the
utmost Importance will be precipitated.
The crisis is the outcome of a conflict
of authority between Lieut.. Gov. Anglers,
the representative of the crown, and Mr..
MERCER, the head of the Quebec govern
ment. Mr.. MERCER is charged with be-
ing implicated in the Bale des Chaleurs
scandal which was recently unearthed
at Ottawa, where it was shown that
his chief political agent, Pacaud, had
swindled the Treasury of Quebec out Of
500, 900 which was devoted to paying
the debts of Mr.. MERCER and other min
listers.
Lieut.-Gov. Anglers thereupon called
upon Mr. MERCER for explanations, and
insisted upon the appointment of royal
commission consisting of three judges to
hold an investigation.
He also transmitted the correspondence
that passed between him and the head of
the government to the Governor General;
and, contrary to all precedent, this has
been laid before the Dominion ParIia-
ment and made public.
Publication of the correspondence has
created a great sensation. The Liberals
are indignant and say that such pro-
ceeding is contrary to all constitutional
usage. The French Liberals are highly
indignant, as they say that the action is
direct attack on the autonomy of the
provinces.
The greatest excitement prevails here
over the situation, and everyone is wait
ing anXiously to see what the Quebec
government will do. Mr.. MERCER, it is
understood, will refuse to comply with
the demands of the Lieutenant-GoVerno
and will force the latter to dismiss the
Ministry, in which case a direct conflict
will arise between the Crown and the
representatives of the people.
The conflict may have far-rcaching
consequences, as the French leaders feel
very sore over the manner in which they
are being treated by the English party,
and it would take very little to raise Il
serious conflict.

With the Effects of Their Control, He
Urgos--An Open Letter to the Press.
BINGHASIToN, N. Y, Sep. 19.-Lieut.
Governor Jones has furnished the follow
ing for the press
Being requested by the press to an
nounce my intentions relating to the
nominations of the Saratoga Convention
/ would say that my political action has
always been controlled by my sense of
duty as a citizen, never recognizing con-
flicting party obligations.
'Believing, in this instance, that not
only have the interests Of the people been
sacrificed, but the existence of the Dem
ocratic party jeOpardiZed, for behind the
nominations and in absolute control of
the party, are men whose every senti-
mcnt of patriotism is subject either to
their personal ambition or their selfish
greed, and the administration of public
affairs is shaped to perpetuate their rule
so complete is the power of these
men and so dictatorial have they become
that members of the party are but serfs
so far as political action is concerned
Continued subservience but makes
the condition too degrading to be quietly
borne by American citizens There is
but one way to dislodge usurpers. The
temporary defeat of the party will be
harmless compared with the effects of
their control.
"For the welfare of the State and in
the interest of the Democratic party to
me my duty appears clear, which is to
oppose the election of the nominee of the
Saratoga convention to such extent as
may be within my power and in such
manner rs may seem best to accomplish
that purpose"
MI Jones declines to specify just what
action he will take in the matter.
