No Insanity In the Family,

LONDON, April 29-The correspondent of
the International Telegram company had
an interview with Albert and Alfred Deem
ing as to the allegations that their brother
showed signs of insanity in his boyhood and
that insanity had been common in the
Deeming family. Both Indignantly denied
that any member of the family had ever
been in an asylum. Albert Deeming said: :
'The story that our brother was even
queer in his youth lie bosh and nonsense.
He was never called Mad Fred;' that is q
mere fabrication to suit the present emer-
gency. 1t is ridiculous to slander our father
and mother by saying that they were re-
gardod even az eccentric"
Alfred Deeming said: "Our brother was
not even especially tricky or mischievous.
Ho was commonplace boy, and all this
talk about instructive insanity is due to the
ehorts of his counsel to get him released
The whole story is imaginary, and we wish
people to understand that we do not coun-
eenance it," ..-....-

The Fight in Ohio.

CLEVELAND, o., April 29-It is the gen.
eral impression among the leaders of both
the Ohio factions in the Republican party
that tho action of the convention merely
continues definitely the Sherman and
Foraker quarrel Prior to the convention
it was conceded that the Sherman men pre-
dominated The choice of Governor Nc
kinley, Ex-GoYernor Foraker, William
Hahn and General Bushnell as delegates at
large shows that the Foraker faction was in
greater strength than estimated. The Sc
lection of these four was in the nature of
Sherman compromise and was bitter pill
for the supporters Of the senator to swal-
low, as it is impossible to name two men
more distasteful to Sherman than Foraker
and Bushnell.
Governor Mckinley was given most en-
thusiastic greeting on being presented as
permanent chairman. He said:
We organize today for the victory of 1892
This is the opening of that campaign which
must result in triumph for the Republican
party. We have had four years of a most

crat I'm 1887.

WAsHINeToN, April 29.--T. jefferson
Coolidge, the new minister to France is one
of the most prominent residents of Massa-
chusetts and his appointment is viewed
with the utmost satisfaction by the delega-
tion from that state. He is grand nephew
of the third president of the United States,
whose namesake he is, and resident Of
Manchester-by bythe-Sea. He is a highly cul-
tured gentleman, literally educated, good
hnguist and patron of the arts A mag
niiicent library was his gift to the residents
of the city of his residence. At present he
is engaged in banking, but was for many
years manufacturer on a large scale in
Lowell and Lawrence. His political afilia-
tions had been with the Democratic party
until he became satisfied from President
Clevelands famous message of 1887 that the
Democratic party was bound toward free
trade; since then he has acted with the Re-
publicans.
He has never held any public Office, unless
his appointment Us one of the United States
delegates to the Pan-American congress
may be considered one In separating from
the Democratic party it is interesting to
note he did not carry with him at least one
member of his family, T. jefferson Coolidge,

"The Devils Auction company are believed

follows: Thomas Atchison, Albert Crum-
back, Ralph Frazer, Amer Hinchcliffe, Harry
McCloskey, Rand Patterson, James Pigeon.
Many others will lose their eyesight. Be
sides those who were seriously hurt there

IDEEMING' S TRIAL BEGUN
Another Alleged Confession
That He Is the Ripper.
TIE CANARY BIRD MAY HANG HIM.

1t Belonged TO the Wife lie Murdered
Near Melbourne. and He Carried 1t
with Him from Place to Piace-A
Strong Case Made Against Him.
MELBOURNE, April 29.-The Standard says
It Is In a position to announce without re-
serve that Deeming has confessed to his
lawyers and the doctors who examined him
that he committed majority of the "Jacl
the Ripper crimes in the Whitechapel dis
trict of London. The article has created a
great sensation. The demeanor of Deeming
when he was alraigned for trial in the CEN
tral criminal court, sresented marked diff
ference from his ocnduct at the inquest.
He was quiet and depressed, and he looked
very much disappointed when the judge
decided that the trial should at once be pro-
ceeded with.
His Flippant Air Put Aside.
After the jury had been selected the pub
lie prosecutor began his speech, in which he
arrayed with almost irresistible force all
the facts in connection with the murder of
the prisoners wife. Deeming had put aside
the fippant air that characterized him at
the previous hearings and he listened closely
to the prosecutors speech.
The taking of testimony was then began
Connor, tho agent, testified to letting the
house to Deeming and the discovery of tho
crime. The witness noticed terrible smell
in the bedroom and the police having been
summoned the hearthstone was taken up,
with the result already known. He identi-
fed the prisoner as Deeming.
Police Sergeant Loghlin swore to discov-
ing the body of the deceased encased in
cement and lying in hole beneath the
hearthstone. Mr.. Oakes who was n pas
senger with the prisoner and his wife on
board the Kaiser Wilhelm IL, during the
outward voyage in December last, said he
had identified the remains as those of Mrs.
Williams. Williams seemed very kind and
afectionate to his wife during the voyage.
He identified the prisoner rs the man he had
known as the husband of the deceased.
The Arrest of Dceming.
Evan Williams, a policeman from west
ern Australia, gave evidence us to the pris-
oner's arrest at Southern Cross. He placed
his hands on the prisoners shoulders and
said to him: 81 arrest you for the murder of
Emily Williams, at Windsor" The prisoner
replied; 81 don't know anything about 1t.
never was at Windsor to my knowledge. |
am innocent"
At Albany the prisoner was placed in the
lookup in the charge of two constables.
During the night he contrived to remove
his mustache. No one could explain how.
Numerous witnesses testified to seeing
Demming buy a shovel, cement and sand,
aud to hearing sounds of pounding in the
house, made while Deeming was burying
his victim under the GER ent.
A curious feature of the courtroom was
the presence of the canary bird which had
belonged to tho murdered Emily Mather
Deeming and which the prisoner had taken
with him after the murder By means OF
this canary bird and its cage the prisoner
bad been traced from place to place, and it
had thus been largely instrumental in
bringing him to justice.
