STARVATION WAS THE CAUSE
THE BABYS HORRIBLE DEATH
Talks Calmly of the Deed
After Attempting Suicide.
A VISIT TO THE AWFUL SCENE.

AMIGO. Wis, July 81. - William
Nonemacher. farmer living nine miles
southeast of Amigo, murdered his wife
ana three children about 10 o'clock Sat-
urday night, and then made an unsuc,
cessful attempt to take his own life.
The deed was not discovered until Sum
day afternoon at o'clock, and the
news reached here this morning. At
the inquest NOnemacher made full
confession. He said the crops were
poor and he was afraid of starving; his
wite'S parents were in Quebec, where
they had come all the way from Ger
many, and wanted money, and he had
none to send. He had intended to kill
his family Friday night. but he changed
his plan to Saturday night. After the
family was asleep he went out and got
an ak and returned to do the deed. He
said he killed his wife first by three
swinging blows on the left temple. He
then went into the next room and killed
Joseph, six years. and Willie, four years
old. He struck both boys on the heal
twice. Returning to the room where
his wife lay, he picked up his year-old
baby, held her in one arm and struck
her on top of the head. He then went
to the barn, climbed onto the roof and
jumped twenty feet to the floor of the
pig sly, sustaining injuries to the spine
and paralyZing his lower extremities.
Sunday afternoon two of Fred None
macher's little children went over and
saw the boys on the bed all bloody, and
ran home and told their father, who
summoned the coroner, and with hun
he searched for his brother.
Today the jury returned verdict
that the wife and children came to
their death by an axe in the hands of
William NOnemacher, in accordance
with his confession.
A visit to the scene of the murder dis
closed the horrible sight. The mother
lay on her left sidewith gaping wound
in the temple. The baby was in tlie'-
cradle beside the bed in q sleeping
posture The father, as he lay on the
floor of the Kitchen, paralyZed but con-
scious. without the least sign of sorrow
or regret. talked as calmly about the
murder as he would about killing a pig.
After the inquest the murderer was
brought to town and placed in Jail, but
may not live to be tried. He was al
ways kind to his family and a good
citizen. but easily gave way to deSpond-

MOVEMENT OF MONEY.
Currency Shipment From New
York-Clearing House Certifi-

Gates.
NEW YORK, July 31.-The currency
movement wds again heavy today, the
shipment out of town being estimated
at from S1.750. 600 to S2,OO0,00O. The de-
mand was from Boston ana other New
England points where the need for
funds seems to be more pressing. Cur
rency itself. in the Wall street accepta-
ton of the term- meaning bills OF small
denOminatiOn-cuJ only a small figure
i'll the movement, the bulk of the Ship
ments consisting of coin. From the
sub-treaSury alone, 1901, 600 in silver
dollars was sent by express to the coun-
try banks at the request of their New
York correspondents.
There is a growing disposition among
New York bankers to take some action
looking to stOppage of the drain. At
considerable Inconvenience to them
selves, they have taken out of the
clearing house loan certificates and sent
large amounts of the money SO released
to their correspondents.
Some of this money is either being
boarded or lent at high rates of interest
at expense of New York. In conse-
quence, accommodation was given to
the country banks much less freely
today than heretofore.
The exchanges over the counter were
about 100000, and S25O,OOO was paid
out in checks. Most of this was in
coin. From San Francisco $4,000 was
received by telegraph.
Clearing house loan certi ficates to the
amount of s2,250,OOO were taken out.
Most of these, it was thought. was for
use in facilitating gold imports, which
are expected to reach big proportions
within the next two weeks. The total
outstanding issue of certificates has now
reached s27, 975, 900. This is the largest
amount ever put into circ ulation, beat
ing the records of 1878 and 1890.

SENATOR VANCE.
Position of the North Carolina
Statesman on the Sherman

Position of the North Carolina
Statesman on the Sherman
Law.
RALEIGH, n. c., July 31.-Senator
Vance last week'wrOte a letter to the
Farmers Alliance, III which. in reply to
a question as to his position on the sill
yer law, he said he was unaIterably Op-
posed to the repeal of the Sherman act
unless some substitute was provided.
He was severely criticised for the tone
or his letter, ana now he replies i'll an
other letter.
He says:
The charge that Democrat is at
variance with his party who refuses to
favor unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man law, depends for truth OH what the
party laid down in the platform at Chi
cagO. If promises and pledges amount
to anything, the Chicago platform de-
mandS the repeal of the law as an OBJ
struction to the free coinage of silver.
The obvious meaning is, if the law
was out of the way, we could have free
coinage. That is one of the things |
propose TO put In place of the Sherman
law. and propose to vote against repeal
unless that be done. If my party is op-
posed to that, then the utterances at
Chicago were intended to deceive. If
it was sincere. when | am trying to
stand on the platform. 1t pledges tine
party to the use of both gold and silver,
without discrimination. If we cease to
coin one, and refuse to tender it in pay
ment even of obligations which by con-
tract are payable therein, we do dis
criminate against that metal.
Men Of common sense who are loyal
to the purposes they profess VIII not
surrender the advantages of their posi-
ton. The law now in existence can be
kept there by nOn-cOncurrence of either
the house, the senate or the president
to its repeal, whereas, the Sherman law
once repealed. measures which are to
take its place would have to be passed
by affirmative legislation. requiring the
concurrence of all three branches of the
law-making department, and no sensi-
bic man acquainted with the situation
can believe that these measures could
be passed under such circumstances.

HEIRS TO A FORTUNE.
A Buffalo Family May Receiv,
Twenty-Five Millions.


BUFFALO. July 91.-A family living
in this city may soon become the posses
sors of more than S25,OOO,OOO. They
claim to be the nearest heirs to the
estate of Philip Reinhardt. who died
interstate in India about fifty years ago.
The relationship will easily be shown,
as it is all on record in Germany, and
the family in this city will become one
of the richest in the United States.
For over forty years his vast estates
have been unclaimed until short time
ago, when an advertisement appeared
in one of the daily papers, asking for
intelligence of any heirs of Philip Rein
hardt. To this advertisement the family
i'll this city responded, and found that
they were the direct heirs to the vast
possessions. They are now engaged in
proving their kinship with the dead
millionaire.

CAUTIOUS CRISP
Declines to Talk on the Organiza-
ton of the House.


WASHINGTON, D. c., July S1.-Judge
Crisp is here, but he declines to talk
upon any subject relating to the organ
iZation of the house. He says he has
not made up the committees, as ne
found it was a task not to be accom-.
plished without the aid and advice of
Democratic members. He thinks 1t will
require two weeks to formulate and
announce the committees. With regard
to the assignment of Bland, Springer
and Holman he declined to say word,
except that that is a subject for deter
mination after conference. He says the
extra session will extend into the regu-
lar one, and that congress will be in
session probably until next summer
Crisp is more than usually reticent and
cautious. Even when he had to make
bitter fight for the speakership he was
more outspoken.
