we would ever have a Millionaire IN this world

railroad disasters attributed to tho

from the iact that tho employees wore

cd the moral support that would be
afforded by favorable congressional ac-

namely, the establishment OF resula:.

NEW YoRE, March 23.-Ferdinand
Ward, the famous but unfortunate
Gnancicr, is coming back to Brooklyn,
after Il residence OF six years and six
months at Sing Sing. On April 80 he
will be liberated, the state having no
further claims on him or his services.
lie has, by all reports, been n tractablc
and exemplary prisoner and did not do
anything amiss to be deprived OF tho
commutation OF three and half years
which the law allows in. such cases.
Ward was sentenced by Judge Barrett
i'll the court OF Oyer and Tcrminer, New
York, on October 81, 1885, to ten years
imprisonment.
The year OF 1885 is memorable as a
dark year in the world OF finances.
Wards transactions formed one OF tho
clouds that cast gloom over Wall
street. Fle was associated with one OF
General Grants sons in Wall street. 1t
is not probable that Ward will be asked
to stand trial on the other indictments.

cutting Attorney Chapman, was released
from custody, ho being satisfied that tho
state was unable TO mako n case against
her. Her attorney, Mr.. Burdettc. was
not present. Mrs, Moore, the murdered
girls mother, her father, Marion s.
Moore, their two younger children with
several Others from their neighborhood,
were horo to-day. but their presence
was not required.
Tho discharged prisoner was moro re-
ticcnt than usual this morning, and
said in reply to an intcriogatory that
she had no suspicion rs to who was the
murderer OF Bettio Moore, but that she
wasn't. Hero tho general sentiment
seems to be in her favor, Nbut in the
neishborhood OF the crime it is against
her, and 1t has been said that her life
will be in danger il sho returns home.
For some time past ugly rumors have
been atloat connecting Mrs. Moore, tho
murdered girls mother, with the crimc.
1t was oven expected that shc would be
arrested this morning before she left

circumstances connected with the affair
developed facts which seemed to point
toward her innocence, and it is thought

CHCAGO'S BOODLEHS.
Tho Case Badly aIixed-Poiitical Benrir
Embarrassing to Some


Embarrassing to Some.
Chicago, March 23.-Cullcrton, the
acknowledged leader OF Chicago's board
OF aldermen, was to have been examined
by tho grand Jury in the Doodle investi-
CATION to-day. He was kept on the
waiting bench two hours and then told
to come tomorrow. No further in
dictments were returned today. The
continued unaccountablc absence OF
Secretary Soule. OF the Jefferson electric
road, and President Billings, of the gas
trust, seems TO be serving as decided
hamper to the prosecution. The politi-
cal aspect OF tho matteris also attracting
attention and operating apparently
more or less as drama. The ncarness
of the aldermanic election and the fact
all OF the indicted men are OF one party
is harped upon. Speculation is also in
dulged as to the effect the sensation is
having upon States Attorney. Long
cnecker's chances in the gubernatorial
canvass at its height. Altogether the
outlook tonight seemed disappointing.
There are indications that Alderman
Roth, the chief witness for the prosccu-
tlon, thus far, is not the staunch re-
former that his statement for the press
would cause it to appear. A painful.
impression has been caused in addition
by the admission to-day on the part of
the states attorney. that tho woman
witness and two others whose names
were appended to the indictments are
myths, though this is Offset more or less
by his knowledge that the rusc resulted
in several false moves by the suspects,
thus affording promising clues to tho
prosecution.
The reason for dismissing Cullerton is
not known, butit was stated in expla-
nation tho slime was not vet ripe for
his appearance. Six witnesses were be-
fore the grand jury during the day.
At the close OF the day's'proceedings
the states attorney volunteered an en-
PLANTATION OF the reasons why the seven
aldermen were indicted for conspiracy
TO commit bribery. :
"Aftcr kunz gave his testimony" said
he, ~ was in doubt OF being able to con-
vict OF bribery. kunz maintained that
he was not bribed, and if SO where did
tho bribery come in? The conspiracy
to commit bribery, however, was plainly
shown, hence the conspiracy indict-
ment."
"Will anyindictments be returned ior
bribery?" t'5
,"Oh, yes; we will indict some OF them
for bribery, and then possibly have
them both ways"
