the STATE of Ohio.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July ia case
under the Geary Chinese exclusion act
made its appearance in the United States
Court in this city yesterday. in the shape
of an appeal to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals from the western dis
trict of Michigan, the appellants being
Ching 10 and Sing Lee, who made their
home in Petoskey, Mich.
The appellants, natives of China. were
arrested at Petoskey, February 6. 1899.
on charge of unlawfully remaining and
living within the United States. After a
hearing before the United States com
missioner for tho western district of
Michigan, they were found guilty and
sentenced to 20 days Imprisonment at
hard labor in the Kent county jail, part
OF the sentence being that at the expira-
ton of the 20 days Imprisonment they
were to be returned to China.
Application was made by Ching 10 and
Sing Lee for writ of habeas corpus. on
the ground that they were held in custo-
dy and restrained of their liberty at the
expiration of the period for which they
had been sentenced to Imprisonment.
their claim being that they have been
kept in the county jail continuously since
February I, 1898. The application was
refused by Judge Severns of the western
district of Michigan. and an appeal is
now taken in Cincinnati to the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
The cases were among the first brought
under the Geary exclusion act. They
are regarded as test cases, and upon the
decision may rest the future enforcement
of the Geary law.

REPLEVIED THE CORPSE.
A Case Which Has Made Much Talk in a
Maine Town.

DEXTER, July 13.-A case the like
which it is said has never occurred in
this county has created no end of gossip
and talk here. About two weeks ago,
Merit Brown, was killed on a railroad
in Washington.
His body was brought East by Bert
Hilton, a cousin of the deceased, who
arrived in Dexter last Tuesday. Scarce
ly had he arrived when he was informed
that in order to get the body he would
have to pay $I10.
This was great surprise to Mr.. Hill
ton for he said he had purchased two
tirst-class tickets from Washington, one
for himself and one for his charge. No
other demand was made of him.
AS soon as it was learned that this de-
mand was made despatch was sent to
Montreal to learn what the Canadian
Pacific's demand was. The reply came
that they would settle for sos.
Wednesday, the father of the deceased
secured the services of Deputy Sheriff
Brawn, who took out writ of replevin
and took the body from the Maine Cen
tral officials and delivered it at the Meth
odist church, where funeral services were
held.
1t is said that had this not been done.
the local board of health would
have taken steps to have the body prop
erly cared for. The case is a very pecu.
liar one, and has created much talk in
the vicinity.

THE soRDENs' NEW HOME.
Their Purchase and the Fall River.Gossit
Concerning 1t.

BOSTON, July ia Fall River de-
spatch to the Journal says: Emma and
Lizzie Borden have purchased new
home on the north side of French
street in Fall River, in the most aristo-
cratic section of the city. This an
nouncement caused no little surprise
Tuesday afternoon, as it was generally
supposed that the Butterworth property
upon which they held an option had
been acquired by them. There is much
curiosity evinced in the matter by some
of their acquaintance. who are at a loss
to understand why they failed to close
the bargain. Said a prominent citizen
of the Border City to Standard re-
porter Tuesday evening: sit is blamed
outrage that the girl, who has been de-
clared by the law to be as free from
guilt as you or /, should now suffer
from anything that looks like ostracism."
1t may be that suspicion that their
welcome into the neighborhood would
be none too cordial led the sisters to re-
linquish the idea of purchasing the But
terworth estate, and look elsewhere. If
this be true, those who exhibited
toward them an unfriendly feeling
proved to be doing them something of
favor, for the Charles N. Allen property
at the price said to have been paid for it.

THEY SEE a WAR CLOUD.
A Report via San Francisco That England
will Fight for Seals.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July l3.--The
statement is printed here, based upon a
letter from an English army officer to a
wealthy Englishman sojourning in San
Francisco, that contingency orders have
been issued to tho fifth battalion OF the
Royal Rifle Brigade now at Davenport,
Eng, to hold itself in readiness TO pro.
ceed to Victoria for colonial duty. The
battalion numbers 1000 men and IS one
of the best organized and most efficient
in the British service. The letter further
says the powerful British ship Minotaur
has also been specially ordered to duty
at Esquimalt, and the commander of the
ship has been appointed naval command
ant. The commander of the Royal
Brigade has been made commander Of
of the Esquimalt station, succeeding the
dock yard superintendent and Col. Pryor
of the Canadian forces, who have hereto.
fore held both posts. The ba.talions OF
the Royal Marine ARTILLERY are also under
orders for duty at Victoria, and the
Canadian authorities are said to bo dc
ylslng measures to overhaul and put
Esquimalt harbor in more complete de-
fensible condition. The British officer
writes his friend to inquire about the
climate and manner of living at Esqul-
malt, and seems to indicate that this
sudden activity on the part of the British
authorities has a direct connection with
the Behring Sea controversy. From the
tone and language of the letter the San
Francisco Englishman believes that Eng
land anticipates an nnfavorable termina-
ton of the Behring Sea arbitration, and
proposes to place herself in a position to
defend and enforce what she considers
her rights in the seal properties. The
recent arrival of the war vessel Royal
Arthur at Esquimalt with Admira al
Stevenson aboard, and these unusual
movements of British forces, appear tc
lend some tinge of probability to the
story.

Decisive Vote on the Army Bill Results
1913 to 1877.
BERLIN, July 13.-The Reichstag to-
day proceeded with the second reading
of the army bill. After some speeches
vote was taken on the first article of
the bill, and it passed 1913 to 1877. Count
Herbert Bismarck supported the govern
ment The article fixes for two years
the peace effective at 479,229 men. Vol
unteers for a year are not included in
this number This practically amounts
to the passage of the whole bill.
Prince Henry of Carolath-Schonaich
moved that the two years service be
fixed legally.
The Chancellor stated that the govern
ment had no intention of returning to the
three years service system, unless expe-
rience showed that permanent reten-
ton of the two years system was i'm
practicable. He begged the Prince to
be satisfied with this assurance.
The debate proceeded and vote on
the question will be taken tomorrow.

Meyers Schemes Along.
NEW YORK, July 13.-Police Inspector
Mclaughlin this morning received dis
patch from the superintendent of the po-
lice of Detroit, stating that DR.. Henry
Meyer and his wife, Mary, were under ar
rest in that city. Behind this announce
meat is q startling tale, and if the facts
now in possession of the police are veri-
fed Lucretia Borgia has a formidable
| rival in the person of Mrs. Meyer.
On March 80, 1892, j. Baum of 800
East 18th street, died after severe. at
tack Of intestinal trouble. DR.. Minden
| of 11S East 18th street, who attended
| him, gave certificate to his grief strick-
en- wife naming the cause of death
chronic dysentery. He was buried in a
Brooklyn cemetery. Baum's life was in
sured for $4,000 in favor of his wife, and,
after the usual formula, the amount was
paid. DR.. Gillette of the insurance
company for some reason suspected
there was something wrong and commu-
| nicated his fears to Coroner Schultz.
Baum's body was quietly exhumed and
DEPUTY Coroner Walsh, assisted by
Prof. r. Ogden Doremus, made an au-
topsy.
The stomach was found to contain an
| tlmony in large quantities, which drug
had produced the intestinal trouble. The
| coroner laid the facts before Inspector
| Mclaughlin, and after search, detect
ives found that Mrs. Baum was in reality
the wife of DR.. Henry Meyer who was
| also known under the alias of Henry
Reuter- and Hugo Maylor. The woman,
| the datnctiVpS saw made O. hnsipacc &c
getting married, persuading her husband
to insure his life, and then accomplishing
his death by poison. The couple were
finally located in Detroit and it is said
she had piled her murderous trade in
that city, and that no less than five
deaths are laid at her door. The police
feel sure that further search in this
city will reveal greater number of her
victims.

ter Investment. In fact, good judges Of
real estate values in that portion Of the
city say that for Investment purposes
alone the estate is worth considerably
more money than the purchase price.
The residence, which is about ten min
utes walk from City hall, is situated on
the north side of French street, upon the
crest of '.the Hill.'' 1t is surrounded by
handsome and well kept residences OF
professional and business men. and there
is nothing left to be desired In it's en-
virons. The prospect it commands is
most beautiful.
The house IS a pretentious modern
structure, and the whole estate possesses
an air of wealth. Around it is a we'll
kept lawn, abuntantly supplied with
shrubbery and the veranda IS almost hid
den by honeysuckle vines in full bloom.

DETROIT, Mich, July 13.-Last night
one of the most notorious criminals in
America fell into the hands of the police,
and today at Chicago, New York and
Toledo will begin legal war for his
custody. Two local detectives, guided
by Detective Julian Of New York, and
two Pinkerton men, arrested DR.. Henry
G. W. Meyer at 1913 Clifford street on sus-
picion. Julian and the Pinkerton men
have been on his track for two years, and
finally cornered him in Detroit, collect
ing in the meantime evidence which, they
say, will cause Meyer to suffer the death
penalty. Meyer graduated from the
Chicago Homeopathic school in 1878,
and his operations began a year later,
when he poisoned his first wife. Then
he poisoned all old man named Glider
man and married the widow, poisoning
her son and finally herself. Meyer then
moved from Chicago to New York, where
he went into a partnership with man
named Brant their scheme being to beat
the insurance companies. Brant was to
take out heavy insurance, become sick
and apparently die, a corpse being pro-
cured from some other source and used

The bodies were laid side by side in
Risser's Mennonite Meeting House. in
Mount Joy township, and as early as 6
O'Clock in the morning, when the doors
were opened, steady stream of people
poured into the building to get look at
the murdered people. Even at o'clock
the roads leading to the church were
filled with vehicles, which by the time
announced for the services, filled every
available space within half mile of the
church.
1t is estimated that there were three
thousand carriages and fifteen thousand
persons present
Owing to the crowd services were held
both inside and outside the church. The
jam to get into the building to see the
victims was SO great that many women
tainted. Those who got. among the
crowd were forced in by the pressure
and the only way of exit was through a
window.
The bodies were laid side by side in
one grave, IA feet long and 7 1-2 feet

LONDON, July 13.-The House Of Com

Irish members retained in the Imperial
Parliament all the rights and privileges
held by British members. and this would
deprive Great Britain of home rule by
making Irish members arbiters of
British interests. AT 10, Chairman
