NEW YORK, June 25.-W. ID. Howells oc.
cupies to-day an enyiable position in
head of the first rank of our romance writ
ers. He is very industrious, and his con-
~tributions to various branches of litera-
ture are very numerous. HIS essays. studies
OF life and crisp criticisms would have
made his name thoroughly we'll known
without the aid of his romances. In some
ways his career has been an unusual one.
He has the culture and the wide knowledge
of the best university education, while he
himself has never passed through q col.
lege.
Recently l have had two interviews with
some things which will interest bis friends
and admirers, as well as those who are
curious about literary matters.
Mr.. Howells found his university In
Europe. The influence of Europe came to
him at the formative stage of life. He
came back before he was denationalized,
and has visited Europe only once since. In
this he differs essentially from many Of our
literary people who make Europe their
home. and use this country only asa mar
ket for their wares. The best outline of
Mr.. Howells's early life will be found in his
book entitled "a Boys Town" Those who
are curious for details will find additional
information concerning tho childhood pc

THE WARMER MURDER CASE.
Mrs. Peak, the Mother of the Murdered
Girl, on the Witness Stand.

MT. HOLLY, N. j., Dec. 2S.-The trial
Of Wesley Warner for the murder OF
Lizzie Peak on the 18th of September
last at Mt. Holly was begun yesterdayin
the Burlington county court of oyer and
terminer, Judge Garrison presiding.
Warner was apparently in excellent
health and spirits, but broke down COM
pletely when his aged mother entered
the court room and threw her arms
around his neck. So intense was the
grief that it wss some time before the
case could proceed. Warmers wife,
whom he deserted for the woman he
murdered, was also in the court room,
sitting Just behind him. The opening
on the part of the state was made by
Prosecutor Budd who detailed at length
the circumstances attending the murder,
all of which go to show that it was both
willful and deliberate, and was the result
OF the girls refusal to live with him any
longer.
The only important witness was Mrs.
Joseph Peak, the mother of the muir
dered glrl. Mrs. Peak wept bitterly
while sne gave her testimony. She said
the trouble began when Warner induced
Lizzie Peak to live with him as house
keeper. He then deserted his wife and
took Lizzie to New York, where they
lived together for over a year. When
Lizzie announced her intention of leay-
ing, Warner told her she would never
live with any one else. He also threat
ened to kill her
Mrs Peak denied that she had sent
some flowers from her daughters grave
to Wesley Warner after he was in Jail.

CLEVELAND TALKS OUT.
Opposed to Murphy's Candidacy
for the National Senate.
WILL KEEP HIS PUBLIC PLEDGES

For National ofnoe He Favors Men
OF Experience in Public Affairs,
Competent to Defend Party Prin-
ciples and Deal with Vital Issues.
New YoRK, Dec. 90 = That Mr..
Cleveland is opposed to the election OF
Edward Murphy to the United States
senate to succeed Mr. Hiscock was au-
thoritatively settled by direct state
ment from the president.
Mr. Cleveland at first said that he saw
no reason to make any statement. He
had not, he said, made any secret of his
opinion on the natter He consented,
however, to discuss the question again,
and said at ought not to be necessary
for me to repeat for the public what
have SO often expressed to many gentle
men in private conversation Among
these have been Mr.. Murphy himself,
Mr.. Croker and gentlemen who have
been prominent in the party from every
part of the state of New York.
"lt must not be forgotten, however,
that the party has very hard task to
perform If we expect to keep the word
we have passed to the people of the coun-
try. They have given us phenomanal
majority, one showing that they expect
MS to do much. In doing this great
deal depends upon the state of New York
and its great metropolis. The interest
of the state and party demand, it seems
to me, the selection of senator who
can not only defend the principles of our
party, but who can originate and pro.
mote policies that may be presented for
consideration in the senate. In order to
insure this the senator from New York
should be man not only experienced IN
| public affairs, but who has clear con.
| ception of the vital issues with which he
| must deal during the next few years.
Speaking frankly, as | have already
| done to those entitled to know my views
! it does not seem to me that the selection
| Of Mr.. Murphy shows desire or inten.
tion of placing in the senate man of
such type
"fhis first llse of our power would,
| fear, causomuch disappointment not only
in New York, but in the country. This
the party ought not be called upon tC
face, when it is considered how mucl
there is to do, and what serious diff
culties have to be surmounted before i
can be done"

SUFFERING FOR WANT OF GOAL

rection Have No More to Distribute.
New York, Dec. 2s.-There was
long line Of men, women and children
standing in the main hall of the depart.
ment Of charities and correction build
ing yesterday, waiting to put in theii
application for coal. Each person in
that long line represented some pool
family, and they will have TO wait until
after New Years before they can gel
any coal.
One reason for this is that there is not
a single ton Of coal at the disposal Of the
department for the relief OF even tho
most pitiful case of destitution Nid suf-
feriue. In explanation of this state of
affairs Superintendent Blake said that
the department had very small amount
of coal on hand at the beginning Of the
winter, only 200 tons, and that this had
already been distributed in portions of
half ton. Continuing, he said that
there were already on file applications
from about 1900 families, and more
We're coming III every day
After Jan. 3, however, the department
will have 5000 tons at its disposal for
relief purposes, but some of THIS will be
saved for the early part Of next winter.
About 1900 tons have already been con-
tracted for to distribute below Eighty.
fourth street, and the other GOO tons
will be secured from local coal dealers,
principally for distribution above Eighty
fourth street.
Superintendent Blake said; ~ don't
suppose anything can be done to help it.
The greatest suffering is on the east
side, below Fourteenth street.
''These poor families have to buy
their coal by the pail or scuttle full, for
which they pay ten cents, or at the rate
of over $l6 a ton, and as many families
cannot afford to buy much at this rate
great suffering is the consequence
