HELD FOR A BRUTAL MURDER.
Farmer Swarthout's Sons Arrested on s us
picion of Killing Their Father.

According to dispatch John Henry
Swarthoutiand Ernest Albert Swarthout
are locked up in the county Jail at Nor
rison, ILL.,, charged with the murder Of
their father, Albert Marion Swarthout,
q prosperous farmer living near Nor
rison.
Albert Swarthout was shot while in
his barn, not fifty steps from the house;
his body was then thrown into cart,
hauled within stono's throw of tho
side windows Of the farmhouse, and
dumped into O strawstack, which was
set on fire. All of this was done within
easy reach Of the house, in and around
which, according to the statements OF
the family, there were at the time tho
two sons, the daughter and her husband,
aud the wife of the younger son. The
boys were arrested on an affidavit sworn
to by five Of the best-known citizens OF
the county charging them with guilty
knowledge OF the crime. 1t is claimed
that the boys were opposed to their
fathers approaching marriage with a
young schoolteacher in a neighboring
town, by which hey thought the estate
of $50, 900 would 10 l. st 10 them. Ii o
theory Of robbery is also advanced, as
q gold watch and 500 known to have
been in the possession Of IL MUIR
dered man Lave not been found. The
entire evidence, however, is purely cir
cumStantial.
The two sons are good-looking young
fellows. John, The eldest, Is 25 years
Of age, and graduate OF this years
class at Bennett Medical College,
Chicago. Ernest is % years old. He
has always lived on the farm with his
father, and wa, married two months
ago. Both the young men are willing
TO talk Of their fathers death, and
deny most emphatically any knowledge
of the crime.

Questions OF Vital Importance to He Con-

In the marble palace of Archbishop Cor

Is progressing conference which, may have
results OF a far-reaching character Cath
Ollie archbishops are comforting upon sub
jects OF grave Importance. not alone To
their own followers but TO the people at
large. 1t goes without saying that the
conclave Is hedged about with privacy, and
the avenues of public information are few.
Cardinal Gibbons is said 10 be presiding,
and the occasion gains unusual interest from
the presence of Archbishop Satolli, tho
Pope's delegate to this country. Archbishop
Ireland, OF ST. Paul, is present, and 1t is
thought that he will meet all inquiries from
any source relative u his views on the
American school question. The educational
question, IL is believed. is being thoroughly
considered by the conference Among
other matters 1t is understood that the
convention will be asked by Arch bishop

Anthony came upon the scene at this
moment, and seeing that Chinn was
about TO get the best OF it he drew
his revolver and fired full IN Chinn's
face. The ball struck him in the mouth
and ranged upward, coming out back OF the

BUSINESS is HEALTHY.

There Are No Important Changes In the
Markets.
Il G. Dun & Co S weekly review OF trado
says:
No important change appears I'm the
condition OF business. The distribution OF
products continues enormous Production
by manufacturers is greater on the whole
than in any previous year, and while some
hesitation is seen about entering into new
accounts, the general tone Of business and
industries IS remarkably healthy. Trading
in cotton was much the largest ever known
in any week, but stock dealings have been
but moderate. At Boston business contin-
ues large. collections good, money easy.
In general, the situation is unchanged. ex-
cepting that wool Is more quiet.
