PIrTsDURG, Aug. Con the 9th of last
June Martin Reed, who was confined in the
Washington county jail for the murder of
Alexander Chapel. escaped and was not
located by the detectives on his track until
to-day. Officers Mcbride and Orr. of Wash
ingtOn, have been working on the case ever
since the murderer fed. aha after much
work they found him to-day concealed in
ON ,oe-house at Noblestown. near Washing
ton. When discovered Reed refused to sur
render, whereupon an attempt was made to
force the door of the lce-house and take
him by force. Reed had evidently deter
mined not to be taken alive, for he opened
fire on the officers and vigorously wounded
officer Orr.
The two policemen, seeing that they
could not capture HIM unaided, called for
help. A large number of citizens of the
place responded, and q second attack on the
building was commenced. Shot after shot
came from Reeds revolver, and his firing
was so rapid that no one dared to venture
CLOSE by. At this time Constable Coyle, of
MoDonald's Station. placed himself at the
head of number of others, and led an as
sault on the murderers stronghold. The be-
slegers were met with vOlley from Reeds
pistol, and Constable Coyle was instantly
killed.
The death of this officer spread consterna-
tion among the assembled citizens, but
they quickly rallied and determined to set
fire to the ice house and thus force Reed to
surrender. They were euccessful in start
ing fire and soon the flames were spread
ing from one end of the building to the
Other, but Reed did not give himself up to
the officers. On the contrary. as the
flames mounted higher and higher. and he
saw that he had the choice of burning to
death. surrendering or shooting himself,
he chose the latter. The report of nis re-
volver rang ont. startling the crowd, who
had not looked for such q termination TO the
tragedy. Reeds body was recovered soon
afterward, burned to q crisp, but showing
the bullet-hOle In his head.
The crime for which Reed was convicted
and sentenced to hang was the murder of
Alexander Chapel. ChappePs wife was q
most attractive woman, and Reed. falling
In love with her, planned and executed the
crime In order to marry her. He gave his
victim poisoned whisky to drink. The
bodies of Coyle and Reed were both
brought TO Pittsburg, and the coroner will
hold an inquest on them.

ness of the undertaking. nor the RESPONSE
billty the individual must assume If the
event is successfully held. This morning
he issued the following proclamation:
"The arrivals at the Union Depot during
the past two days, and informa-
tion received from Eastern rail-
road points all indicate that the number
of our visitors during the coming concIave
will be limited only by the ability of the
railroads to carry passengers. 1t can safely
be said that not less than $4,000 strangers
will be here for several days, and that this
number may exceed 100000 Unless addi-
tional facilities are furnished, many of this
vast multitude cannot he decently fed and
many will not be able to secure sleeping
accommodations. The situation 10 unpre-
cedented. Never before III the history of
this country has q city of the size of Den
yer been asked to receive and entertain
such O number OF people. 1t will require
united and vigllant action upon the part of
all our citizens to save our visitors from
discomfort aud suffering. Larger and more
extended preparations to feed and house
them must be made.
Il urgently recommend the ladies of the
different churches and aid societies and the
members OF all organizations in need of
money TO establish eating houses through
out the city, and further urge upon the
residents who have friends among the yis-
ltors that you seek them out and tender
them such accommodation as You NAV bo
able to give them at your homes. This will
enable those who are without friends to
more easily secure accommodations at
the hotels and lodging houses. See that
all vacant places be covered with tents
and sleeping accommodations furnished at
izens must appreciate the enorm-
can furnish tolerable accommodations
at least to all whom the railways may be
able to bring. but TO do this every citizen
must bear his share. The vast crowds
coming from all parts of the country ad-
monisb US that the millions who remain
at home are looking. and will see whether
Denver has the ability to oaIe for her
guests"
All arrangements for location and ac-
commodation of visitors ho arrive in their
special cars and mean to live in them. have
about been completed. and while there yet
remains preparation to be done, q large
force Is at work and will have all the yards
In readiness by tomorrow morning, when
