Canon Prison If q Decision Holds.
CANON CITY, Col, Feb. 26.-Alfred
Packer, the man eater" who was sem
fenced from Hinsdale county years ago for
the killing Of number of companions and
for alleged cannibalism, will have TO re-
main in the penitentiary, according to a de-
cision handed down by Judge Bailey In the
district court. Packers attorneys applied
for release on writ of habeas corpus. on
the ground that Packer served eight years,
the term OF the sentence imposed for the
murder Of Bell, one OF the victims. Packer
was sent up for eight years each on five
charges of murder. The attorneys claimed
that such a sentence was irregular and that
Packer had served the total time for ell
alleged murders in serving eight years. The
court held that it had no right to criticise
the action OF another district court, and re-
fused the writ. The case will be taken to
the supreme court

A CAUGHT.

BOSTON, Nov. 8-A young man sup
posed to hail from Norfolk, Va, and
who has been masquerading about the
city as W. 7. Wright, of the firm of
w. T Wright & Co., r. L. Baker and
John Burgess, is under arrest to night,
charged with securing goods valued
at~$29. 800 from Ironmonger & Co., of
Norfolk, Va, on November Sd. The
young man has been here for some
time and has been ashining light among
the f~requenters of the Union Mission
on Kneeland street. His ~professed
piety, it appears, is only exceeded by
his ability to negotiate bank accounts
and opening up business houses on I'm
known streets. He was caught to day
through the shrewdness of the cashier
of the Bank of the Republic who be-
camesuspiciOus.

Block TIN may probably be made free

The chinaware schedules Will pro

fifty five per cent. The Mckinley oil
restored the duty on coverings, which
are large element in the cost of china
ware and practically made the increase
in duty much larger than the apparent

The silk interests may not suffer

THIRTEEN NEW CASES,
Frost is Quite a Long Time Coming.
Rations May Run Low Again--The
Worlds Relief Train.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, November Tho
weather is still cool, with the same I'M
lucky number, ID. new Gates, the same
as reported yesterday.
Experts say that the decrease Of cases
is due to the fact that the food for the
fever is about exhausted andthat those
who have remained in the city and
breathed the contaminated air have
become to some extent immured. The
danger to be apprehended is the return
Of refugees.
In several cases where people have
returned they have had the fever.
Should a great number return now, or
before frost, the new cases will increase
in proportion.
Surgeon Murray will use all precau-
tions, and advises people not to come
back until officially advised with. The
sloWness of the approaching frost and
the days that must eIapse before the
epidemic ends, coupled with the fact
that many returning refugees will need
support, it is learned oy some that the
supplies will run short.
The New York World, basing it's
action on the committees withdrawal
of the appeal for aid, has withdrawn
part of its supplies.

SIN ASHUP IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Latest particulars
of the wreck of the Rock Island rail
road at Seventy second street last night
are that four persons were killed and
twenty injured.
The Blue Island local train stopped
at Seventy second street, where it was
struck by the Kansas City limited, fol-
lowing. The two trains left the main
depot ten minutes apart, but owing to
a dense fog both had fallen behind six
minutes. The suburban has three stops
between EnglewOod and Seventy sec
ond street, while the through train
makes none. The limited gained on
the suburban train after leaving EngIe-
wood and struck it before the signal
could be discerned through>the fog.
An alarm was sent to the fire depart
ment, but before the engines arrived
the majority of the dead and wounded
were taken from the wreck, some of
them badly burned The engine at
tached to the limited express was partly
demolished and its scaIding steam made
rescue almost impossible.
The dead are: Mark Bowman, Rock

R TINKERING,
The New Tariff Bill to Made Public in
Ten Days "A Number of the Revis-
ions Decided Upon for all Prac-
tical Purposes Only Minor
Details to be CHANGED.
Details to be Changed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Ten days or
a fortnight will probably see the new
D9mOcratic tariff bill given to the pub
lie. The Democratic members of the
Ways and, Means Committee have not
yet made their final revision of any of
the schedules, but a number Of them
are decided upon for all practical pur-
poses, and will not be changed except
IN minor details. The policy of a rev
enue tariff will be pretty closely
adhered to in dealing with raw mate
rails and partially many goods and
considerable cuts will be made on
finished products. The Democrats
decided at the outset that they would
accept the declaration Of their platform
regarding the twist of the last Congress,
as the rule Of action. That declared
that the party Endorses the efforts
made by the Democrats Of the present
Congre IS to modify its most oppressive
features in the direction of free raw
materials and cheaper manufactured
goods that enter into general consump-
ton"
There are reasons for saying, there
fore, that the Democratic members
under this provision will embOdy in
the bill substantially all the pony"
tariff bills which passed the House in
the Flfty-second corresponding
separateIy for free wool and reduced
duties on wooden goods, free silver ores
reduced duties on tin plate, free cotton
baggingand free tin. The wool schedule
may be alightly modified in the def
nitions of FOODS, but it is believed that
the duties viii remain substantially the
same the maximum being forty per
cent. and the -adyalorem rated below
that figure being generally reduced five
per cent. The provision on silver lead
ores will be substantially that enacted
by the Fifty-second Congress, that lead
ore shall pay one and n half cents per
pound, but that ores in which the value
of the silver is greater shall be consid
cred exempt from duty.
The bills which passed the House in
the last Congress regarding common
bagging and binding Irvine made both
absolutely free of duty but there has
been someo opposition to these provisions
on the ground that they were not in
harmony with other parts of the tariff
and a moderate duty may be retained.
