"Murder most foul, strange and unnat-
ural," said the ghost Of Hamlet's father
when speaking Of his own death by poison
Truly this Is the vilest form Of murder,
but life insurance men say it is increasing
The latest case is almost too horrible for
belief. and yet il seems to be proved that
DIR. Henry G. i. Meyer and his wife,
Mary, recently arrested I'm Detroit and
taden TO New York, made murder by
poisoning their business, and the list of
their victims includes two of his former
wives, her alleged husband, an innocent
servant girl and no one knows how many
others. The last case and the one conclu-
Eively proved, was the poisoning in New
York of their confederate, Ludwig Brandt
But Dr. Meyers story is best told in the
order of time. He is n German and located
IN Chicago about 1876, graduating in medi-
cine year or two later He was married,
and his wife died very suddenly. Soon
after he married a Mrs. Gederman, whose
husband, well to do grocer had also died
suddenly. The newly married pair were
arrested, but as no poison was found in the
bodies Of the dead they could not be held.
At least one detective, however, believed
that DR.. Meyer had invented new and
subtle poison and for a long time kept ac-
quainted with the DOCTORS dOings He Sc
cured employment as the agent Of life in
surance company and was arrested for forg-
ing policy of s. 500, but the matter was
compromised and the prosecution dropped.
In the fall Of 1882 a newspaper man who
had known Mrs. Gilderman- Meyer during
the life Of her FIRST husband saw her on
Clark street so sick that she could barely
stand. He assisted her home, and on the
IN danger. Next day her child, little
daughter Of Gilderman, was found dead
drowned in the bathtub," +" Dr. Meyer said.
Mrs Gelderman-Meyer openly declared
that the doctor had drowned the child, as
It was theheir Of its father, and Meyer had
charge of some Of the property, but moth.
ing could be proved That Mrs. Meyer es
capped, however, for the doctor ran away
with another woman. The next case OF
note was in Toledo, where DIR. Meyer tried
to collect s. 900 insurance on the life of an.

Iris not known to everybody that
the United States contains a family
named Columbus who are descended
directly from the great navigator,
although they have no title ex-
cept that of American citizens, of
which they are sufficiently proud.
The oldest of the American branch of
the family, Alexius Columbus, aged So,
living In Buffalo, and he has eight
living children, thirty grand children
and six great grand children. The
American Columbus blood is in no
present danger of running out. Some
of the family live in Camden, n. J.
Alexius Columbus traces his ancestry
back through six generations Of

LUDWIG BRANDT. DIR. MEYER.
other woman, who had died suddenly. An
inquiry was set on foot, and he and his sup
posed wife fled from the city, taking a
buggy as for an evening ride and never re
turning, The report Of that case brought
another detective to the scene, who de
clared that the dead woman was not DR..
Meyers sister, as he had alleged, but a
poor and unknown girl whom he had
picked up in indianapolis,
While in Toledo he hired one Mary Neiss
as domestic and persuaded her to repre-
sent 'Mrs. Weller" Chat was the name he
assumed in Toledo and take out an insur-
ance of s., 600 in the Equitable. 1t now ap-
pears that while in another city this girl
was taken i'll suddenly, became suspicious,
refused all medicine from the doctor and
his wife and left them as soon as she was
able And this is but a small part of what
is charged against him, for detectives from
several other places have been on his track.
1t was in January, 1892, that the Meyer
gang, for they now had with them two con
federates, appeared in New York and rent
ed apartments in the flats at 8l6-826 East
Thirteenth street.
OF the confederates the one known as
WINNER has disappeared. The other, Lud-
wig Brandt, was an adrOlt sW1ndler in his
native Germany and had once been in pris-
on in America. The game, as he under
stood it, was for him to get heavily insured,
then be taken sick, and in due time a corpse
was to be procured and placed in the bed
he had occupied and all the rest would be
easy. But the Meyers had other views. He
was their victim. He and Mrs Meyer were
known as Mr.. and Mrs Gustave H. NJ
Joseph Baum and Dr. Meyer as her uncle
Baum or Brandt took sick and was treated
by DR.. S. B. Minden for dysentery. He had
unbounded confidence in his confederates
and was not at all alarmed when DIR. Minden
told him his condition was dangerous.
1t was indeed. He sank rapidly and died
in a stupor. Subsequent examination has
proved poisoning by antimony Two com
panies in which the victim was insured
paid at once, but the Mutual Life started
an investigation. Again the poisoners es-
capped, and for year and a half the hunt
continued before they were run down.
When captured in Detroit, they were al
most in a starving condition, though it is
alleged that they left New York with at
least S20,0 600. They had one child, nd soon
after her arrest the woman again anne
mother. Sae is quite handsome and does
not lools- -6o1e over 25 years old.

IF 1t was Mr.. Cleveland's desire to
destroy confidence, to stop credit, to
embarrass banks, to drive money into
hidden boards, to cause solvent men
to stop business in despair, these OBJ
jects are now fully accomplished. In
place of the good times Of 1892, hard
times have indeed come. Why, then,
should not the country expectits pres
ident to repair this terrible damage?
Why should he not be expected to say:
"I repudiate the declaration that the
Constitution forbids protective tariff
will not sign any bills making such
a reduction of important duties as
will break down American industry.
The country may resume its business
activity with every assurance that
will permit no legislation to destroy

these few words and the effect of it

Desperate Fighting Between OPP

Large Force to Aid the Granada Party.
No Interference with Mail steamers,
SAN JUAN DEL SAR, Nicaragua, via Cal
weston, Tex. ,July8 Reports have reached
here that General Zavala has strongly for
titled Granada and has organized an army
Of 1000 men to defend the city. 1t Is also
said that General Zayala has made prop
osition to the chiefs of the Leon revolu-
tionists for a settlement Of the trouble and
the restoration Of peace
Details of the battles fought at Ma
teares, whore the government forces made
their FIRST defense of MauaRua and the one
at Managua, when the government troops
were forced to evacuate the capital, are
gradually coming in. General Zelaya, WHO
aided in the overthrow of Sacaza, and af-
terward joined the revolutionary party Of
Leon, led the attacking troops on each oo-
casion.
A determined resistance was made by
the government forces, commanded by
General Avilez, the commander in chief.
There was desperate fighting at each
place.
Inc loss OF llIe was enormous General
zavala, president Of the Grenada govern.
ment, admits that 600 men lost their lives
in two engagements, but the lowest esti-
mate placed by impartial observers upon
the combined loss of the two armies in the
BATTLES of Mateares and Managua from
1000 to 1,4OO lives. The fighting was at
close range and the most desperate ever
witnessed in Nicaragua.
Owing to the fact that Policarpo Bonilla
participated in these engagements with
ZOO of his Hondurean followers, and thus
probably gained the victory for the Leon
party, 1t is reported that General Vasquez
dictator Of Honduras, will send large
force to aid the Granada party
Vasquez probably fears that the success
of the Leon party, with the aid of Bonilla
would be followed by an invasion of Hon.
duras by Nicaraguans to aid Bonilla in his
efforts TO overthrow the Vasquez party.
If this report proves true the aspect of
the entire situation will change, and Ia
vala's chances for triumphing over the
Leon party will be materially increased.
Notwithstanding the order issued by the
Granada government closing the port of
CorintO, the Pacific Mail steamer San Bias
which was ordered not to touch there on
her northern trip, called there on her re-
turn voyage and discharged all her cargo
for that port from New York and Euro
pean points.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. E.-Perhaps the
most vigorous meeting of tsle finance COM
mittee OF the senate held dsIring this con-
gress was that of this :aorning, which
resulted in decision favtErable to the re-
port on the Sherman tsll 10 repeal
the purchase of silver Subsequently
Sherman reported the bsil and it was
placed on the calendaEs The meet
ing was attended by every=nember except
Senator Jones and Senator Vance, who
are i'll. While the majority were in favor
OF the action taken, Vigorous opposition
was manifested by Harris OF Tennessee
and Voorhees, of Indiana. Those who
voted to report the pill favorably'
were: Morrill,, Sherman. Allison, Aid
rich, Hiscock. McPherso;a and Carlisle.
Senator'S Voorhees, and Harris entered an
emphatic protest against t5e proposed &C
ton Of the committee, ara would have
been joined by Senators jones and Vance
had they been present. Che meeting is
said to have been interesting. This state
inent probably referred 70 the speeches
made by Harris and voorhees,. They
were outvoted, however, =and the dis
cussion will now be transferred to
the floor of the Senate. Senztor Mcpherson
said the bill was Satisfactory to him, al
though he would rather haze had his reso-
luton reported. One of the features
which he did not approve was that which
postponed the time to the-1st of January,
1894, but still he thought it afforded relief,
for the people would Know at that
time at least the ne-er-ceaslng in
hat:on of the currency would end
and the country return to sound currency.
Teller and Voorhees, do siot believe the
bill can pass, and Voor5ees is credited
with saying that not tea senators will
vote for it.
The Republicans will hola an adjourned
caucus tomorrow night 10 gecide upon the
order of business and agree upon the
policy to be pursued durin. the remainder
OF the session.
