UKIAH, March 2.--Sheriff Mckenzie
OF Napa county arrived this afternoon to
interview Edgar Martin, who is thought
to be one of the Greenwood murderers.
Martin was arrested on Monday for
poisoning Fred Heldt, at Fort Bragg.
Considerable excitement has been
caused by the arrival OF Sheriff McKen-
zie and his belief that Martin is one of
the Greenwood murderers. While Mar
tin was arrested for poisoning Heldt and
forging will, greater interest has been
occasioned by his being the suspected
murderer in Napa county. Sheriff
Mckenzie was introduced to Martin as
representative of a San Francisco
paper, claiming that he wished to get
the facts OF the Heldt poisoning for pub
lication. Sheriff Mckenzie tried to get
him to talk about his life and expert
ences, but Martin would tell nothing
and admit nothing unless confronted
with evidence.
Papers found on Martin are very dam
aging. and show him to be crook con-
cerned in more than one crime. They
also show that he has friends who are
interested with him. He studiously
avoids mentioning Napa county, but
made one admission which is considered
important. The murderer of Mrs. Green
wood was known to be fine horseman,
and made business of breaking mules
in the Hawaiian islands. Today Martin
said he had broken 200 mules in the
islands. Those who knew him here say
his horsemanship is unexcelled.
Having never seen the murderer of
Mrs. Greenwood, Sheriff Mackenzie, of
course, cannot identify him, but he re-
marked today that if Martin was not the
man there was no use in arrestins any
one else, as he answered the description
30 perfectly.
After brief interview with Martin
Sheriff Mackenzie telegraphed for Cap
tain Greenwood to come up. He will
1 arrive tomorrow afternoon.
Mrs. Heldt arrived from Fort Bragg
tbis afternoon and tomorrow will swear
out warrant charging Martin with the
murder of her husband. She was furi
ous when she saw the witnesses to the
signing Of the fraudulent will, and who
are thought to be concerned in the affair
Heldt's stomach was brought to town
this morning for shipment to San Fran
cisco for analysis, to ascertain ii he was
poisoned.

said; "Maher ought to be ashamed to
own himself an Irishman, and Irishmen
ought to be ashamed he is Oneof them.
He is the most cowardly fighter to my
mind that ever stepped into the ring.
Fitzsimmons, on the other hand, is a
wonderfully clever fighter and sur
prise"
II agree with that opinion" chimed
in Slavin, who was standing near.
"Fitzsimmons is very clever and very
shifty, and handled himself splendidly
from the start to the finish. Maher was
built up and advertised on the achieve-
ments ofsother people,"
Referee Duffy said Maher lost because
he is man who could not stand punish
ment.
The Sporting Life representative, Mr..
Gallagher, of London, thought the fight
one Of the best regulated tournaments he
ever attended. He cent bulletins to
London and got word that Fleet street
was packed with people eager Tor the
news. Gallagher thinks Fitzsimmons is
decidedly the best man.
Fitzsimmons himself is delighted. He
showed no signs of having fought hard
battle.
GLOOM IN MAHER's QUARTERS.
The gloom in Maher'squarters is thick
enough to cut with knife.
Maher remained in the ring sometime
after the battle was over, while his sec
onds washed the blood from his face.
When he reached his room he put on
his clothes and stuffed moist handker-
chief into his mouth to staunch the
flow of blood. Madden, Holland, Tut
hill and others with him were much
cast down.

to an inquiry, Except that Fitzsim-
mons is too clever for me. He is a very
skillful man in getting away. | had
him out in the first round, but the bel

"Maher broke blood vessel and the
blood choked him." said Billy Madden
"He could not go further because ht
was unable to breathe. He is whipped

P1rTsBURG, March 2.-The Fitzsim

LENT.
Yesterday Marked the Beginning of the
Fast

Yesterday Marked the Beginning of the
Fast.
Yesterday, known as Ash Wednesday,
marked the beginning of Lent, time of
fasting and prayer in the Catholic
church, apostolically instituted to COM
memorate the forty days. fast of Jesus
in the desert, and destined as expressed
in sacred writings, "to instruct Christ
ians in their obligation of penance dur
ing their whole life, and prepare them
to celebrate the resurrection of Christ,
by making them partake, in some de-
gree, of His sufferings." The ceremo-
MES, as observed yesterday in St. Vibi-
ana's cathedral, st. Vincent's church
and the other churches of this diocese,
were of very impressive character.
After a solemn high mass, during which
the Gloria in Excelsis was neither said
nor sung, because of the sorrowful sea-
son Just entered upon, the ashes were
distributed among the worshipers. The
ashes used on the occasion were
made from palms blessed on last
Palm Sunday. They were put on the
.foreheads Of the people in the form of Q
cross by the priests who accompanied
the ceremony with these words in Latin:
"Remember, man, that dust thou art.

WESTBROOK'S CRIME.
AN OFFICER OF THE LAND I'M
PROvEMENT COMPANY.
He Leaves Between Two Days-Has
Robbed His Employers for Year OF
Two Back-The Elusive Jack Pot and
the Tiger Did the Work.

The criminal record Of the city ap-
pears to grow daily. The latest sensa-
tional episode is the departure between
two days Of Mr.. M. G. Westbrook, assist
ant secretary of the Land and Improve
ment company, a subsidiary corporation
to the Santa Fe Railway company.
Mr.. Westbrook was man apparently
Of considerable property. He had fair
salary, and owned some property. He
had a house on Seventh street near
Westlake park, which was burned some
time ago, and he recently commenced to
build new house. He resided lately
with his wife and two little children, one
girl not yet years old and the other a
6-months old boy baby, at 1927 South
Flower street. 6
Three weeks ago Tuesday Westbrook
dropped out of sight; he was not seen
at his Office. nor did he return to his
home, after leaving in the morning.
From that day to this not a word has
been heard from him, nor does any one
know where he went, or whether he is
dead or alive. His disappearance caused
an investigation into his accounts, and
the result was that it was found that he
had been an embezzler for year or two
past. The amount of his populations
has not been exactly ascertained, but it
will amount at least to $4,000 or $4,000
from present Indications.
1t appears that Westbrook was greatly
addicted to gambling. the elusive jack.
pot having an attraction for him only
equaled by his desire to toy with the
tiger.
Mrs. Westbrook, who is an attractive
woman, was naturally overcome by his
desertion and the shame OF his crime
and did all in her power to make resti.
tuition to his employers, turning over to
them all the property she had. She left
on Saturday last for her parents home
in Michigan.
A complaint has been sworn to-
charging Westbrook with embezzlement
and warrant has been issued for his
arrest, but as he managed his disap.
pearance so skillfully as to leave not the
SLIGHTEST clue to his destination, there
is little hope that he will be brought te
Justice.

GLENDINE ALL RIGHT.
Connolly Says the Young Stallion Will

Ed Connolly, the clever reinsman OF
the Wiseburn breeding farm, was in the

enthusiastic about Glendine, and ex-
poets to secure low mark for the son
of Judge Salisbury this year.
"Glendine was greatly handicapped

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Sher-
man surprised great many people when
he stated that the committee on foreign
relations had after a close examination
become conyinced that the present Chi
nese exclusion laws would not expire uD-
Ill 1894, as 1t had generally been accepted
that the laws expired on the 4th of next
month. This conclusion Of that commit
tee resulted In posiponing indefinitely the
debate on the new Chinese exclusion bill,
which, had been on the program for this
week Its place was taken by the Nor
gan silver resolution and several speeches
have been made, including rather sharp
one by Senator Teller along the same
lines as the one made by his young col.
league, Senator Wolcott, recently.
The house committee on foreign affairs
will recommend resolution providing
for the appointment Of joint commission
the duties Of which shall be the bringing
about Of closer trade relations between
Mexico and the United States.
How honest the Democrats Of the house
were In passing their resolution for the
investigation Of the alleged neglect Of the
administration to punish the alleged VIC.
lations Of the ciYil service law by United
States officials at Baltimore, was shown by
their refusal to adopt the amendment sug-
gested by Representative Hopkins, Of ILL
nois, providing that the committee should
first find out whether the charges were
true by investigating for itself. When the
average Democrat goes In search Of party
capital he leaves reason and justice be-
hind him.
Senator Chandler has introduced q bill
sppropriating $4,000 for the purchase of
the marble bust Of Gen. Grant, mode by
Franklin Summons, the celebrated Ameri.
can sculptor.
II Is fortunate for the welfare of the
people Of this country that the Republican
senate stands between them and the de-
sire of the Democratic house to cripple
the various branches of the government
service by cutting down the appropriations
below the amount necessary for their eff
cent maintenance, A striking instance of
this disposition on the part Of the Demo
Gratis is the postoflce appropnating bill,
which before being passed by the house
was reduced 10 $1,000, 900 below the esti.
mates Of Postmaster general Wannamak-
or. Now II there were no Republican
senate TO see that enough money Is appro-
priated, this reduction would prevent the
extension in any direction Of the postal
service during the next fiscal year, as well
as the establishment Of the proposed post
Office on the grounds Of the world fair.
The Republicans know that the intelli-
gent people Of this country want good
good postal facilities and they also know
that they can only be had by appropriat.
ing the money 10 pay for them.

Mr.. Braman's Reply.

E. g. johnson, Esq.-Dear Sir:-Your
card addressed to me in which you make
proposition for settlement OF the con-
gressional question in Lorain county has
been considered. am willing to subor-
dinate personal interest for the sake OF
harmony, and agree with you as to the
importance of securing representative
from this county, but the proposition you
make Is neither fair nor practicable. It's
not republican and is In direct opposition
TO the doctrine you have insisted upon;
that one township in the county has no
right to dictate a question of policy or
politics for another. Have the good peo-
pie of Lorain, Amherst, Avon, Columbia
and all the other townships of Lorain
county no interest in the question Of who
shall represent them in Washington? ?
Shall they be denied any voice in the mat
terS Is it right or just for the good Re
publican voters of Elyria, though they are
as good and true as any in this broad land.
to settle question In which 10000 people
in Lorain county are as vitality interested
You and are not strangers 10 the peo-
pie Of the county of our birth, where we
have resided continuously for fifty-five
years. We have been honored by our fel-
low citizens with places OF trust and re-
spousbiliiy. We are known throughout
the comfy In an official capacity, and as
having had for many years extensive busi-
ness relations. The whole people will be
able to decide in,elligently between us
and, therefore, l see no reason why we
should depart from the method adopted
by the Republican party from Its birth.
l enter this race at the solicitation Of
many Republicans In the county, and
when my name was announced no other
candidate from Lorain county was In the
field.
Twill only add that among the large
number Of Republicans l have been able
to consult since your proposition was re-
ceiyed, have not found one who regards
1t as anything but unfair TO the Republi-
cans Of Lorain county, and II adopted,
would, instead Of promoting harmony,
create discord. Yours truly,
