SOLVING The MYSTERY.
The Identity of the Bodies Found in
Holidays Barn Established.


MIDDLETowN, n. Y, Sept. 6.-The mur-
der mystery, so far as relates to the identity
Of the victims, is mystery no longer.
To-day the bodies were fully identified as
those of Mrs. Margaret McQuillan and her
daughter Sarah of the town of Newburg,
about one mile west of this city. 1t was
developed that Mrs. Holiday, the alleged
muTderess. on last Wednesday secured the
mother and her daughter to help her do
housekeeping. To-day two pistols were
found in the vault in an clubhouse on an
adjoining farm. The pistols were of
caliber which corresponds with the bullet
found near the bed In the house and with
the bullets found in the murdered woman.
The suspected murderess continues to
rave and act as one violently insane. On a
previous occasion, when she was accused
Of a crime, she acted in the same manner,
and it is believed she is shamming The
husband. Paul Holiday, is still miss ing.
In the same vault w here the pistols were
found, later there was dug out an ounce
vial without a label, containing chloro-
form, as we'll as two boxes of cartridges,
one full and the other partially empty.
Mrs Holiday, on her return from Bloom
lngburg with Constable Cotton on Mon
day, went to the outhouse, and 1t is
thought she dropped the pistols, chloro-
form and cartridges while there.

-Four Cahuenga Chinese laborers were
tried under the Gesry act this afternoon
before Judge Ross in the United States
District Court. They had separate trials.
The men were arrested on complaint of
W. Lintner. who is member Of the Ca
huenga Farmers Protective Association,
now intensely interested in getting the
Chinese out OF the country.
The prosecution was represented by
United States District Attorney Denis
and by ex- United States District Attorney

kiss and K. NJ. Ling appeared for the
Chinese.
The first case was that of Fong Louie.
The witnesses for the prosecution were
Deputy Marshals Hamel and Gard, who
testified to tie arrest of the accused and
that he admitted at the time that he had
no certificate of registration. Mr. Liutner
testified that he had seen the accused
shovslIng in the fields from time to time.
Colonel Hotchkiss raised the point that
the Chinamsn leased land and farms il,
aud was not, therefore. a laborer under
the act. This was oyerruled, the defense
noting an exception.

defense was given a brief intermission 10

From Maine to See His Foes

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The House Com
mittee on Rules, presided over by Speaker
Crisp, was this morning forced publicly to
acknowledge defeat in the House in an
effort 10 lead the Democratic majority and
secure the adoption of a rule making 100
members quorum in the committee of
the whole. When the House resumed de-
bate on the rules the announcement was
made that the committee, in Difference to
the objections of some prominent Demo-
cratic members had decided to abandon
that rule. Catchings explained that so
many Democratic members were opposed
to the proposed rule that the committee
had decided to accept kyle's amendment,
restoring the size of the quorum to a ma
jority of the House
The announcement precipitated lively
