TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
j. Van Meter, an Ohio Maniac, Kills
His Wife and Child.
Their Heads Crushed and Bodies Mutilatcd
in Horrible Manner-The Murderer
Missing, and the Finding OF Ills
Dead Body IL Expected.

WAvERLY, o., Sept ia shocking
tragedy, presumably the work of a
maniac occurred near Idaho, in the
western part of this county Thursday
night. In this locality lived John j. Van
Meter, man about 30 years of age,
with his wife and two children, the old
est boy about 8 years, and the young
est baby in its mothers arms.
For some time Van Meter has shown
evidences of mental arrangement, but
nothing serious was apprehended by his
family or neighbors. Thursday night
the family retired rs usual, but when
the eldest boy awoke Friday morning
he was dumbfounded to find himself
alone in the house, his parents and baby
sister having disappeared during the
night
After waiting while for them to re-
turn the boy started to go to his grand
fathers, about mile distant When
about one hundred yards from the
house he was Mortified to find his moth
er and little sister. lying dead in his
path, their heads crushed and bodies
terribly mutilated.
The terrified boy soon alarmed the
neigh bors, 'who at once instituted a
search for Van Meter. but without sue
cess 1t is thought that after murder
ing his wife and child Van Meter sought
some out of the way place and took his
own life. 1t may be some time before
his body is found, if such is the case.

1t Knocks tho Bacilli Silly-A Generous
Gift From New York Fruit Dealers for
Victims.
New YORK, Sept. 17.-The importers
and dealers In Mediterranean fruit held
meeting Thursday. The chairman,
Mr.. Hirzel, stated that the object of the
call was to contribute sufficient guam
tity of lemons to the cholera patients
so that they can partake of the lemon
juice, which has been recommended by
leading physicians
On motion of Anthony yucca, the
dealers and the importers decided to
contribute 100 boxes of the finest Mes
sina lemons, which were sent to quaran-
tine Friday morning. Chevalier Louis
Conticin the president, read q commu-
nication from Dr. Christmas of the
Pasteur college, DR. Christmas says:
ITO render in time of cholera the use
of unboiled drinking water harmless
lemon juice is recommended Acids are
detrimental to cholera bacillus"
DIR. Christmas found that nine grains
of acid of lemon used in water of the
Paris aqueducts rendered within a
quarter of an hour all the cholera bacil-
lus harmless. Nine grains of said acid
destroys in the same amount of water
all the bacillus of typhus Two grains
of acid of lemon added to quart of
water is sufficient to make drinking wa
ter totally harmless.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Sept. 15.-Detectives
have woven SO strong web of evidence
about the sensational deaths of Mrs.
Eugenia Sherrell and Mrs Emma Aus
tin, who were poisoned in Mrs. Austin's
assignation house, that they were able
Wednesday to arrest Vincent Spaningcr
and Mrs. Josephine Cole, one of his
many mistresses, on the charge of muir
der.
The social standing of Mrs. Sherrell
has caused this to be one of the most
sensational tragedies that have ever
occurred in this city, and now that the
guilt of murder is about to be fixed
upon some one, interest and excitement
have revived. When Detective Fow
and Gorley called upon Mrs. Cole
at her home early Wednesday after
noon to obtain n photograph
of Vincent Spanninger, which had been
promised them by the woman, the clew
was discovered that led to the arrests
One Of the officers, upon being handed
the photograph, accidentally turned it
over, and noticed piece of paper
pasted on the back of the tintype. 1t
bore the address, "Mr. v, Spanninger,
Louisville, Ky.," and the detectives g
| eye had no sooner rested on the writing
| than he demanded of Mrs Cole, whose
writing is this?"
The woman was confused and at
tempted to tear the paper away. She
failed, and then admitted it was her
writing 1t did not require an expert
| to see that the writing was exactly the
same as that of the anonymous letter
received Monday by Coroner Berry, in
which portion of the poison alleged
to have been used was found, as was
also the names of Vincent Spanninger,
| Mrs. Josephine Cole and Mrs Nellie
Koch, daughter of Mrs. Austin, one or
the other of whom the anonymous writer
said was guilty of the crime
Seeing that the secret was now out,
Mrs. Cole at once made full confession
that she wrote the letter and placed her
own name as one of the probable muir
derers simply to throw off suspicion
| that she was the writer. Mrs Cole was
taken to the chief of detectives Office,
where she openly accused Vincent
| Spanninger of the double murder.
On her statement Spannlnger was also
arrested charged with murder. A
| special preliminary trial to decide on
the question of bail was held and Spin
ninger was released on $4,000 bail. Mrs
Cole was refused bail, Judge Thomp-
son holding that the evidence against
the woman was very strong

WHO WILL PAY THE BlLL7

New York aud the Government VIII mnte
the Hamburg Company Come TO Time
for Quarantine Expcnses-Detained Pas-
sengers VIII Sue for Damages
New YORK, Sept. 16.-A million dol
lars or more will be required to foot
bills for care of the detained passengers
before the cholera scare Is over and the
United States and state of New York
will be responsible for the effort which
1t is understood will soon be made by
the general government in the U. 5.
court, district of New York, to compel
the Hamburg-American Packet Co. to
shoulder them il successful.
The attorney generals official at
Washington is reported to be examining
the law on the subject, with a view of
speedily testing the right of the Ham
burg company to compel this govern
ment to spend such a sum of money
in caring for persons 1t has transported
from pest-inhicted port to the port of
| New York, which was free from con-
tagious diseases until the Hamburg
company introduced the cholera
The steamship company took no step
involving dollar of expense for the
care of its patrons now under the ban
of quarantine regulations and the ma
tional and the New York state govern
ments were forced to provide all the
means necessary as matter OF public
safety.
Just what the complaint of the U. s.
government will demand Is not, OF
course, known, INT it is possible that
the steamship company's property and
it's right to enter United States ports
will be involved in the issue.
The Hamburg Co. furnished the sole
means of bringing the plague to the
United States ports, and it is the only
company which persisted in transport
ing pest-breeding immigrants from in
fected ports after its vessel had intro
duced the disease into the port of New
York.
1t is reported that the steamship COM
pany has already anticipated legal COM
| plication and has provided against II
| by employing competent lawyers to de-
fend it.
The company is very wealthy and
wields great influence both in Germany
and this country. 1t is further repre-
sented that the company will have the
support of other transatlantic steam
ship corporations in the fight to come,
as the issue involved concerns all OF
them. The Hamburg company will have
other suits to fight besides those con-
templated by the United States gov
ernment. These will be brought by
the cabin passengers of the steamship
Normannia, and will aslt damages ag-
gregating several hundred thousand
dollars

cause.

Epidemic Is n Sign ofthe Near Approach
of Christ's Second Coming.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 19.-Rev
DR.. JenclSs,. of this city, in n published
interview, declared his belief that the
cholera epidemic now sweeping over the
world is warning of the near ap-
proach of Christs second coming
~ believe this plague has been sent to
warn us" said he, "and awaken us to
perception of the prophecies in the
Bible concerning the fearful phenome-
ma that are to precede His coming.
DIR. JenclSs declares the world is much
more wicked than it was twelve months
ago, and as time rolls on the woSld will
become more and more debased." From
this time on plaques, war and famine
are to multiply, and the minds OF
mortal will be astounded by the
violence of these convulsions. The
peculiar religious views of Dr. Jencks
has attracted the attention of
the religious world heretofore.
For nearly twenty-five years he
was rector of ST. Paurs church, of In
dianapolis, which place he filled with
distinguished credit A year ago he
| commenced n series of sermons to show
that the day of Judgment would come
within the next ten years, his position
being fortified by prophecy and history.
A number of parishioners who objected
to this summary winding up of mum.
dane affairs signified their disapproval
of their rector's views, and his resigna
ton was presented and accepted. DR..
Jencks is confident of an early vindica
| ton of his theories.

to Justice Mays for the arerst of
woman who he said was his wife, but
VINO, he said had been married to
Charles Wirth, baker, Mt Bay yonne, by
Rev. Mr.. Andreae, on May 8. Stern told
a rather strange story. In Austria, he
said, in 1883, he married the women he
now wants arrested. He says that
after they came to this country
his wife found fault with him
because he wasn't fat enough to
suit her. Taking advantage of his alb
sence in Philadelphia, she fled to Nor
risiana, where she married man named
Creter. firing of him after while,
she left him and went to Bayonne. All
the evidence heohad was photograph,
which he said was picture of his wife.
He had been told that 1t resembled the
woman in Bayonne. Mrs. Wirth de-
died Stern's story, and her husband
became security for her appearance
when wanted, which will be when
Stern gives some evidence to prove his
story.

A German scoIds France.

BERLIN, Sept. 1G.-Dr. Guttman, in
the Medizinische Wochenscrift, de-
nounces the policy of concealing cholera,
as practiced in France, where, he says
it is pretended that the prevailing cpl
demic was introduced from Hamburg,
though it is notorious that the disease
has existed in Paris since April. The
same policy, he continues, is pursued at
Havre, where cholera existed for weeks
before it broke out in Hamburg. The
fancy names which French authorities
give the disease, says DIR. Guttman, are
mere bubbles.
