CLEARING A MYSTERY
Light on the Death Of Actress
Fanny Cartwright.
MURDERED BY HER LOVER.
He Made Away With Another Woman
Seven Years Ago in tho Same
Wsy-Riot In Arkansas.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Remarkabls developments
were added today to the mystery surrounding
the death of the actress, Fannie Cartwright,
whose dead body was found some time ago in q
lonely railroad yard, where, according to the
belief of many, the corpse had been dragged
after the woman was murdered, to cause the sp-
pearance of accidental death.
John Beatty, in whose company the woman
was last seen alive, refused up to tonight 70
admit his guilt. A singular circumstance is
now brought to light, which, 1t is thought, may
unsesl his lips.
1t appears he was arrested seven years ago
for an almost exactly similar crime-the killing
of Amelia Olsen. The tragedy was never ex-
planned. Amelia, like Fanny, was handsome,
and lived in the same part of the city. The
Olsen girrs body was found on an unfrequented
prairie, and had evidently been dragged some
distance. II was evident that she had
fought bravely for her life and honor,
and Beatty, who was arrested, had his
face badly scratched He refused, as in the
present case, to make any explanations. but his
mother came forward with story of a quarrel
between himself and his sister. He 10 said to
have been acquainted with Amelia Olsen. and
il said to have boosted of sustaining improper
relations with Fanny Cartwright

Houston, of Tacoma, is one of those books, OF
which Looking Backward" is the type, wherein
some social or economic theory is installed into
the readers mind under the guise of story.
MI. Heustoa's hobby is fres trade, aud the best
that can be said OF his book is that IT is an able
presentation OF an unsound theory, character
lied by elegance OF diction and cleverly assumed
clearness and fairness of reasoning. Its perusal
can safely be recommended as likely to give
pleasure, since its economical heresies are not
likely to mislsad any man who does not un-
thinkingly swallow what he reads. 1t opens
with descriptive chapter of considerab Bile
merit, in which an hitherto undiscovered peak
called Mount Tacoma figures prominently, and
the scene is laid in the sound country.

Nellie Mitchell was born at Melbourne, Aus

from her birthplace. At an early age she dsvel-
oped rare capacity for song, but her father was
emphatic in opposition TO an operate career,
and hsstened her marriage to Captain Charles
Nesbit Francis Armstrong. A few years later,
and still bnt % years old, she appeared in Paris
as an opera singer, and soon took the city by
storm. Her greatest triumphs were in "Rigo-
letto," Marguerite in "Faust," and as Ophelia.
The Duke of Orleans saw her and thereafter fol-
lowed her everywhere. He even went TO Paris
disguised as servant in her company, for he
was then forbidden to enter France In Eastern

UNDERGROUND TRACKS.
Plans for System of Rapid Transit in New
York


NEW YORK, July 23.-The Rapid Transit
for travel for the East Side 1t provides for
an underground four-traek railway, dlverg-
ing from the proposed Broadway line at or
near Fourteenth street, thence under Union
square TO Fourth avenue, under Fourth and
Park avenues TO near and south of Forty
second street, thence by a suitable curve to
the westward under such private property
and streets as shall be found practicable to
Madison avenue, at or near Forty-fourth
street, thence under Madison avenue to
point near Nlnety-siXth street, thence curv-
ing eastward to point 100 feet east of Madi-
son avenue, thence by viaduct over other
property parallel to and not less than 100
feet from Madison avenue to a point near
and south OF One Hundred and Thirty
fourth street, thence by a curve to the east
ward and by bridge across Harlem River
The general plan of construction, to
point near Ninety-SiXth street, Will be
either by double-deck tunnel, with two
tracks upon each deck, or four tracks upon
the level, as may be found TO be most eX-
pedlent, and as near the surface as shall be
found practicable. From Nnety-sixth
street north the rout., is to be by viaduct to
Harlem River. The, ,motiye-power will be
electricity or some other power not requir-
ing combustion. 1t Will take the engineers
a month to complete the preliminary plans
for the structure for presentation to the
Board of Aldermen. Little will be known
until they are finished. In gen eral way 1t
may be said that the road will resemble
closely the road proposed years ago by the
Arcade Company. That is, it will be four
tracks on the level. and they will be as
near TO the surface of the street as safety
will permit TIE track will be as far un-
derground as the present elevated struc-
lures are in the air

STOLE A BRIDES GEMS.

Very Bold Diamond Robbery in n
Chicago Hotel.
There was daring robbery at the Palmer
House the first Of last week, the details of
which have been kept from The police until
now in the hope of capturing the thieves.
The police thus far have been unable to
solve the mystery surrounding the crime,
which was the stealing of satchel contain
Ing S12, 600 worth of jewels from j. E. Pot
ter Jr. of Philadelphia. However, it is ad-
mitted at the hotel that the theft was the
outcome Of regularly arranged plan to rob
Potter and the rich young man fell into
trap.
When Mr.. Potter arrived .at the hotel en-
trance with the satehel of diamonds and
jewels entrusted to his care by his wife, a
boy met him i'll much the same manner as
hotel bell-bOys accost guests, TO relieve him
Of his grip Mr.. Potter handed the boy the
satchel containing the gems and stepped in
TO register, and the boy vanished.
The boy was not llveried attache Of the
hotel. Who he was and who are his confed-
crates. who must have known that Mr..
P0tter's satchel contained valuables, is
what puzzles the police.
Mr. Potter is a member of the firm of Pot
ter u Co., publishers, 1tl3 Market street,
Philadelphia, with branches at London and
Melbourne. A short time ago he was mar
ried to Miss Bessie Herndon, daughter of a
prominent and wealthy lawyer in Texas,
who has charge OF Jay Gould's interests in
that part Of the country. The wedding was
large one, and there were number of
valuable presents, among them number of
diamonds and a check for $4,000 from the
brides father.
The young people have been on their we'd
ding tour, and were on their way home
when the robbery occurred, and the vaise
contained the valuable presents. BY a lucky
chance the check was taken ont of the valise
that morning and was in Mr.. Potter's pock-

CROP PROSPECTS.
The Monthly Bu letin Issued by The Asri.
cultural Department.

WAsHINGT ON, July 23.-The monthly
crop bulletin of the Agricultural Depart
ment, issued to day, says: The average
condition of California wheat is 9S. Never,
perhaps, have the grain crops looked more
promising.
The acreage of potatoes is considerably
more than last year. Southern California
is producing great many for export East.
Los Angeles and neigh boring counties will
have about $500 carloads for export.
About 1000 carloads of Lima and white
navy beans will be shipped from Ventura
County.
Concerning wool, special reports show
that there has been great improvement In
the blood OF fiocks during the past ten years
ana Il consequent increase II wool. In 1879
the average weight per fleece, including
fall clip in Texas and California, was
slightly more than four and half pounds.
The present return, after careful examina-
tlon and consolidation, makes the average
four and nine tenthS pounds, or an increase
OF nearly half pound per head. No esti-
mate OF the total clip can be given at this
time.
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
show fine prospect for peaches, Delaware
about the average, Maryland unusually good
and Virginia rather low. In Ohio and Vir-
glnia the crop is very short. In California
peaches will yield full medium crop and
Concerning California grapes the reports
are generally favorable, but wine men feel
respondent over the exceedingly low prices
Tor wine prevailing. The phylloxera and
Anaheim disease are decimatlng the vine
yards very fast. The outlook for this in
dustry, once so bright, is very gloomy.
In Oregon. owing to the unusually cool
and wet season. the crops are somewhat
late, but very promising, with the excep-
ton OF corn, which on account of the low
temperature is below the average. The
acreage of corn is considerably increased
over that of last year. Both spring and
winter wheat is looking splendid. The
condition of both is much above the aver
age at this stage of growth just previous to
harvesting. The same may be said of oats.
The acreage of Irish potatoes is much
greater than that of last year, and the con-
diti0ns are favorable for very heavy
yield. Beans show very fine condition,
with an area of about % per cent greater
Than that of last year. The wool clip is at
many points greater than last years pro-
ductiOn. The pastures are in fine cOndi-
tion, and hay promises an abundant crop.
