THE KAVANAGH CASE.
Police Believe He Was Stabbed
While Committing Robbery.

Detectives Dillon ana Crockett have been ill.,
yestigating the circumstances surrounding the
stabbing OF Jack KavaDagh on Minna street,
near Second. last Friday afternoon by Fran.
cisco Torneto.
Kavanagh stated that the Italian came up to
him on Second street and asked him TO read a
letter in English Tor him. and without any
cause abbed him.
The def ctives are satisfied that Kavanagh
was sta bbed in Tornetto's room, SO Mi1na
street. The room had every appearance OF a
desperate struggle having taken place ther e,
and when Kavauagh was Stable he climbed

of that city. And so ii goes, almost every
day bringing to light new grave in which
the missing mans body has been found.
For some time after the sending out OF
the circulars. Mrs. lyman insisted on
following up and investigating all of the
faithfully for twenty-five or thirty times
she became discouraged and gave up.
The last story of the finding Of her hus-
band investigated ty Mrs. lyman was that
OF man named Hallock. miner IN the
mountains of Utah. Hslock claimed that
DR.. lyman, whom he knew personally,
was living on one of his properties I'D the
Henry mountains. about twenty-five days
journey on horse back from Salt Lake City.
Mrs. lyman went 10 Utah; saw Mi. Hal
lock and asked him to conduct her to her
husband, Offering to pay him any reasona-
Bile amount that he might ask for his SER
vices. This Hallock refused to do, claim
ing that he had promised DR.. lyman to
keep his location secret Mrs. lyman
threw herself on her knees al MS feet,
begged and pleaded that he would do her
this one service. but he refused. Ii was
subsequently, discovered that Haliocks
story was untrue and his interest IN telling
such story proven.
The theory of Detective Curtin, who
probably is more familiar with the details
of the case than any one else, Is that DR..
lyman is dead.
"Oi course" he said. L Woulu not want
to make any such positive statement, but
everything points that way. My idea of
the case is that the doctor fell into the
hands of fooipads who knew he had
$500 on his person. He was inclined TO
spiritualism, and may have been led of by
them, thinking he was going to one OF
those meetings. II such was the case he
was undoubtedly put to death after being
robbed and his tody buried in one OF the
sand hills 10 which event it will probably
never be recovered. He was not a weak
minded man, but on the contrary very
strong miDded one. l know positively
that il was his intention TO return hOEae
and that because lie dd not he was pre-
vented by some one. He would not wan
der off, and therefore must have been de-
coyed These stories Of finding HIM will
continue to come from all parts for year
yet. as was the case in the Tascott case,
bat unless there be more reasonable proof
than is contained in Policeman Loso's
story We shall pay no attention to theW.

Destruction Because He Is
Refused Money.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The Armour Ipsti-
tute. the grand gift of the wealthy pork
packer whose name it bears, has been
threatened with destruction by a dynamite
crank, and it is said the same crank has
threatened the lives of P. d. Armour and
Rev. Frank Gunsauius. president of the

Neither Armour nor Gunsaulus will say a
word concerning the danger Of their own
lives. but Gunsaulus has declared that a
man once connected with the institute has
threatened its destruction with dynamite.
When the threat was made GunsauluS sue
ceeded in dissuading the would-be de-
stroyer, who promised not TO execute the
threat. He said that, counting on the
warm friendship between Gunsaulus and
Armour, the crank demanded that Gunsau-
lus furnish him with money to be Obtained
from Armour, and when GunsauluS de-
clined threats were made to blow NJ the
institute and also Armour and Gunsaulus.
Little Beatrice, the tweIve-yearolG
daughter of DR.. Gunsaulus, said: 'For
two days a man had been following my
papa around, and one day man wearing
a light Overc0at came to the house and
papa was afraid to have him around"
This was the extern, of Beatrice's informa-
ton except the remark. my father told
me that much about it,"
Tonight Gunsaulus refuses TO say any
thing about his personal danger, but said:
st is true threats have been made 10 blow
up the institute with dynamite by a man
discharged. who said: Il don't care, l can
fix the place any day with little dynamite
l told him further talk of that kind would
lead to his arrest. He said he didn't mean
anything, and went away. i have seen
him around since and am little apprehen-
sive." Further DR.. Gunsaulus would not

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Lewis Miller, of Akron, Ohio, who
was chosen president of the International
Association of Sunday School Workers
at St. Louis, is one of the best known
men in that field in America. He is 66
years old, and has been active in Sunday
school work for 40 years. Nh. Miller is
president of the Chautauqua assembly,
and is a Methodist; he was chosen, IN
fact in recognition of that denomina-
ton, in accordance with an unWrltten
law of rotation in the association. Mr..
Miller has..the further distinction OF being
the father-in-law of Thomas A. Edison.
So many vagrant dogs infest the dump
at Twelfth street on the North River
that crews of vessels lying at neighbor-
ing piers, and, in fact, all who have
business in that vicinity, are kept in
terror. The dogs are only dangerous at
night, but then they own the place and
everyone else keeps away. Some OF them
are said to be more like wolves than
domestic animals. Dog-catchers have
tried to capture them, but with hardly
any success. Occasionally one is shot,
and once in while one is killed in a
fight, but on the whole they increase IN
numbers and audacity.
Emil Levy, the pianist, has just had
the experience of being saved from
drowning by a woman, Miss Mallie Beck,
the contralto. He is little and she is
big and muscular and swims like a
duck. They were out in a rowboat,
which upset, and Levy found the dis
lance to shore too much for him. Miss
Beck lowed him out, rolled him on the
beach and poured brandy down his
throat. He swears she saved his life.
There has been complaint Of lack of
free water at the Worlds Fair. On in
curry it proves that one-third of the
sterilized water tanks have been re-
moved. the avowed reason being that
they were so near the stations of the
Hygeia Water Company as to hurt it's
business. Thus it seems that the need
of the public is to be attended to second
to the task of providing Hygeia Company
a market.

now on exhibition in the Illinois State

size, will be placed in Statuary Hall at

A correspondent who has been ramb-
ling through Eastern Virginia, recalls a
description given him by an old lady at
Norfolk of Tom Moore, the poet, who
passed.some time in his youth in quaint
old mansion near Norfolk, and found
nothing there except the ladies to please
him. 81 was asked to q dinner in Rich
mond,n said the old lady, as she took a
pinch of snuff, "and at the other end
Of the table sat little red-headed Irish
man named Moore. We didn't exactly
know how he got there, for most Of us
had never heard of him, and he didn't
quite look the gentleman. But after a
while he got to talking SO comically
and delightfully."- that we roared with
laughing Then in the drawingroom
he went to the piano and sang some of
his own songs, and we found out that
he was Tom Moore. But he did not
look in the least like poet.n
