A MURDER MYSTERY
Cleared Up Mt L,M-ssnsationaI Arrests
Made.

Cleared Up Mt LIM-Sensatonal Arrests
Made.
HoLroX, KAs., Nov. 27.-sensational
arrests were made to-day in the noted
murder case of Paul Swetlick, a wealthy
farmer of jackson county. A month
ago swetlick rode on horseback from
his homo in Jackson county to the
farm OF his sister, Mrs. John Stach.
During his visit some one attached q
revolver to his saddle, SO that when he
mounted the horse tho revolver was
fired, the bullet Catering his groin and
producing death in a few days.
The murder has remained mystery
until to-day, when the detectives who
have been working the case arrested
Mrs. John Stach, the murdered mans
sister, Joseph Stach, her son, and Henry
Nowick, laborer in Mrs. Stach's en-
ploy. Sweotlick was worth about S50,-
600 and his life was insured for $S7, 800.
The bulk of his estate would have
passed to Mrs. Stach, and it is believed
her haste to acquire possession OF it
was the prime motive Of the murder.

Character.

night, the hall being packed. The meet
ing has been one of the most successful

gan; second vice president, R. S. Ryan,

Partly in consequence OF the improved
condition OF the coins themselves, and
partly as the result OF a moro liberal
plan OF distribution, the treasury be-
tween June so. 1891, and September so,
1892, reduced its holdings OF fractional
silver by no less than $4,000 A still
further reduction Is expected to be
realized in consequence OF the recoinage
proposed for the remainder OF the cur
rent year and in particular from the
manufacture OF the Columbian half dol
lars. There has been slight decrease
in the amounts OF counterfeit silver
coins and paper currency presented ut
the treasury. There was an increase OF
over 100000 during the year in the
amount Of United States bonds held for
the security OF national bank clrcula-
tion, and q decrease OF 5 100000 in
the amounts held as security for public
deposits.
In proportion to the volume Of ma
tional bank notes in circulation the re-
demptions continue heavy, having
amounted to upwards Of s69o0o,0 900 in
in the fiscal year. A change OF the reg
ulations has been made by which trag-
ments of notes valued by the comptrol-
ler of the currency at less than face are
received Internationally from the hold
ers at the certified valuation.
The treasurer closes by calling atten-
ton to the labors Of the commission ap-
pointed to investigate tho methods OF
safe and vault construction. with view
to improving the vault facilities OF the
department.
The treasurer urges that prompt steps
be taken to carry their suggestions into
effect.

AGREArER Conscience

Among the Delegates to tho Monetary
Conference that Practical Results WIN
BE Reached.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 27.-It is now under
stood that the proposal which Baron de
Rothschild, OF the British delegation,
will submit to the monetary conference
is well conceived and long thought
out plan for an international monetary
agreement, and not a nero project OF
aid, feeling of greater confidence has
been created among the delegates that
the conference will have practical re-
suits. The attempt in certain quarters
to ridicule the conference, and the
false impressions conveyed by certain
European papers are strongly resented
by delegates Of all opinions. Indeed,
it has caused the Russian delegate, a
we'll known opponent of bi=metallism,
tonight to announce his intention OF
bringing the matter before the conven-
ton tomorrow and to protest against
the circulation OF such reports.
The interest taken by the Indian gov
ernment in the conference is shown by
the attitude OF its representatives, who
do not conceal their opinion that India
has everything to gain and nothing to
lose by international bi-metallism. The
general feeling is that unless the con-
ference comes to a solution satisfactory
to all, :he adoption Of q gold standard
by India must follow, and for India to
face this would be as much of a leap in
the dark as would any other new
scheme, and would be fraught with the
elements OF perturbation and panic.

And When Ho Went to Law to Recover
BIS Money BE Lost His Suit
IND1ANAPoLIs, ND, Nov. 27.-Justice
Walpole to-day rendered a decision in
the only election bet lawsuit that has
been brought this year. Lon Miller
went into the saloon Of ]. D. Bremer,
before election, and entered into dis
cussion OF politics. The discussion
ended in Miller making bets aggregat-
ing $50 on the success OF tho Republic
cans. OF course he lost tho wG-
ger. But a few days after the
election Miller's wife went to Bre-
mer and stated that the money was
hers, and that her husband had bet it
without her permission and asked for
the return OF 1t. This was refused and
Miller and his wife sought an attorney.
They were advised that under the new
election law they had good. cause OF
action to recover the money, and suit
was begun before Justice Walpole. The
new election law did not provide for
such emergencies, and the case fell upon
the old law for the recovery OF money
lost in gaming. The court held that
the election was not game OF chance
as meant by the statute, and upon this
ground decided in favor OF Bremen.

ALlyELY TIME

the Bay at San FranoIseo.
SAN FRANcIsco, Nov. 27.-The ship
ping in San Francisco bay had lively
time last night and to-day. The
weather has been stormy for the past
few days, and last night, before mid
night, furious gale commenced, which
seemed to increase in intensity until
nearly noon to-day. At 2 o'clock this
afternoon the wind was blowing fifty
four miles an hour from the southwest.
Outside the heads the weather and
sea were SO bad that no ships
left port and there were only one
or two arrivals of steamers. Even
in the sheltered bay the sea was un-
precedentedly heavy. The ships were
torn from their anchorages and knocked
together and those lying at the wharves
were banged up considerably. Tugs
we're in great demand to pull tho col
liding vessels apart. There were o score
of accidents, but SO far as reported there
has been no loss of life. The British
ship Strousa and ship Occidental dragged
their anchors and fouled each other in
tho stream. The damage was slight,
however, and they soon drifted apart.
The British ships Talisman and Man
chester, which were at anchor in tho
stream, drifted together and before
they were hauled apart by the tugs
damaged each other considerably. The
British ship Neirus broke adrift from
her berth at the long wharf, Oakland,
and fouled the British ship Benicia and
the schooner Laura Pike. All three
were severely damaged and had to be
cleared by tugs.
The long wharf became unsafe and the
ship Arthus was pulled out in the
stream where che was anchored. The
schooner Nina L, Smith collided with n
scow in Mission bay. The Harrison
street wharf was badly shaken up by
seas going clear over it. The whaling
bark William Bayless lost one OF her
anchors and went sailing down the bay.
She dropped another anchor in time to
save her from further injury. Wind
accompanied by pelting rain fell stead
lily for nearly two hours.
Indications tonight are that there
will be more rain and moro wind. Tel
egraph wires are in bad shape and most
OF the day San Francisco was cut of
from communications with the most Of
the world.

Washington Soon.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27.-Mr.
Blaine is doing very we'll. He is gain
ing strength and looking better every
day, was the reply made by DR.. john
son tonight, when asked concerning
the condition OF the ex-secretary OF
state. Tho doctor said further that he
had seen Mr.. Blaine only once to-day
and that he was then out OF bed and
sitting up and expected to sit up dur
ing the remainder OF the day.
The opinion expressed by the physi-
clan in regard to the improvement in
Mr.. Blainc's condition is ahared by his
family and by the attendants of the
house. To Mr.. Blaine's family his inn
proyement is especirlly gratifying, for
the reason that as soon as he is able to
travel he will seek a climate more con-
genial and beneficial to him. The exact
date of departure from Washington, it
is said, has not been determined upon.

WAsHrNoToN, D. G., Nov. 27.-The
condition of DR.. Scott, the venerable
father-in.law of President Harrison, is
not as favorable tonight as it was last
night, when the indications seemed to
favor his restoration to health. The
uuiaverable change is attributed to a
slight return Of the low consuming
fever which has such prostrating effect
on the invalid. He has therefore been
moro uncomfortable to-day than yester-
day, displaying greater weakness and
being less bright and cheerful in man
ner. The outcome OF the latest change
in the case may depend very largely
upon the progress OF the fever, the nat
ural tendency OF which is to increase as
tho night wears on.

DR., Baker Acquitted.

ABlNaToN, Va, March S.-The cele-
bratcd case of the commonwealth against
DR.. John A. P. Baker for the murder of
his wife by poison has closed, and the
prisoner breathes once more the air of
freedom. DR.. Baker seemed perfectly
cool while waiting for his fate to be an
nounced, but when the verdict of not
guilty was rendered was moved to tears
for the first time during the long trial,
and when hundreds of friends pressed
around, eager to grasp his hand, he
laughed and wept by turns. The prin-
cipal evidence against Dr. Baker was
that of Mrs. GilIner, who distinctly
swore that Baker had suggested to her
that she should poison her husband and
that he would poison his wife in order
that all obstacles to the Illicit love of
the two could be removed. AT both this
and the previous trial the defense tried
to establish the fact that Mrs. Baker
died natural death.

BROOKLYN, March S.-Afrs. Mary
Himpler, wife Of laborer living on
Morrell street, is in Jail here for the
murder of her brother, William McGinn,
who had exasperated her beyond endur-
ance. McGinn was lazy loafer, who
boarded with his sister, but paid no
board. Mrs. Himplers husband had
objected to supporting this brother, but
she always made excuses for him, al
though he had exhausted her patience
and was frequently upbraided OF late for
his idleness.
The two went to christening to-
gether, and while there Nc cGinn became
drunk and quarrelsolne. His sister re-
monstrated with him. He was not in
the mood to accept her reproaches for
his behavior, and struck her three vio-
lent blows in the face, one Of which cut
her lip badly.
Bleeding from the mouth and embit-
tered by the ingratitude shown by her
brother, Mrs. Himpler cried out:
"Oh, if you weren't my brother I'd

You would, eh?' was his reply as he
reached into his pocket and drew out a
two bladed jack knife. Then opening
the large. blade, sharpened to a point, he
tauntingly held it towards her, saying:

it,anyhow. See, I'll throw up my hands

His sister had her baby in her arms.
Stung to the quick by her brothers
actions she dropped the child, and grasp
ing the knife plunged the blade into
her brothers breast. AS she drew it
out he snatched the knife from her, and
with shrek Of pain struck her again
IN the face and rushed out of the house,
leaving trail of blood behind him. He
was taken to u hospital, where he died
shortly afterward. All those present at
the christening were held as witnesses.

An Alleged Game of Bluff Between
William and Alexander.


William and Alexander.
LONDON, March S.--A St. Petersburg
dispatch to The Standard relates this
story as an echo of Emperor Williams
famous Brandenburg speech. After the
emperor sat down at the close of his ad-
dress a guest said to him, jokingly, that
he apparently had forgotten that Russia
was always behind him. The emperor
retorted: II will pulverize Russia"
Shouvaloff, upon hearing this remark,
made close inquiries concerning it and
then communicated the details of the
scene and the dialogue in question to
M. De Giers, who related them to the
czar. AT court reception four or five
evenings ago the czar is said to have
addressed General Won Schweinitz rather
abruptly with the words: "Tell your
emperor that when he wants to begin
pulverizing us we will throw half mil
lion soldiers over his frontier with the
greatest pleasure"
General Won Schweinitz has commun-
icated this message, it is said, to tho
Emperor William.
The story, while doubtless exagger-
ated, is vouched for by The Standard
correspondent as containing kernel of
truth. Rumors of Williams sympathy
with tho Poles has rendered the czal es-
pecially bitter against him lately.
