ANoTHsg HALLADAY CRIME.
Relief That Tbis Female Demon Was
Party Co the Hutch Murder.

KINGSTON, n. ", Nov. 20.--There Is but
little doubt that Levi Rogers, profess
ional horse thlef, confined in Dannemora
prison under "A seven years sentence, ana
Mrs Paul Ualladay, the murderess who
is awaiting trial In the Monticello jail.
were either accessories or principals in the
killing OF Samuel Hutch, Hebrew pedler
of this city. whose dead body was found
in an abandoned lead mine near Wurts-
boro in May. 1890
Hutch had Travelled through that part
Of Sullivan county for several years,
making frequent visits to his home here,
which was among colony OF peddlers or
his faith. Early In the spring of 1890 he
ltarted out on trip through portions OF
Ulster Sullivan and Orange counties.
Those who saw him just prior to his de-
parture say that he had a stock OF 1ewelry
and notions worth at least s4OO, and that
be never started on journey without
having 500 or more about him, as hs
also made business of buying and ship
ping furs from the mountain regions
which he visited.
1t was his custom to write every few
days to his associates here, and as no word
was received from him, fears were enter
tanned that something had befallen hlm.
Word was afterwnrd received OF the find
ing of a body in a lead mine which an
swered his description, and relatives from
here went and identified the body. There
was large wound on the back OF his head
made by 32-calibre ball, and which had
evidently produced instant death. Nothing
could be found of the pack of notions or
Of his money
A few weeks afterward Police Sergeant
Cahill and Detective Sullivan of this city
captured Levi Rogers, noted horse THIEF,
near here with stolen property In his pos
session. The officers retraced the route
taken by Rogers, and found that he bad
stolen a horse and wagon at Unionv'ile,
and after driving to the old lead mines
left the wagon there.
Blood spots were found on the wagon.
Suspecting that he was connected with
the Hutch murder, the officers followed
the trail Of Rogers to Middletown, aud
learned that he shipped by express pack
age to "A woman at Albany. A visit to
Albany proved that the officers were right
in their theory, for the package contained
jewelry which was identified as belonging
TO Hutch.
The woman who was to receive it is sup
posed to have been Lizzie Halliday, as ehe
had left her home for two weeks at that
time Rogers pleaded guilty to horse steal
ing and was sentenced to seven years at
hard laborin Clinton prison. 1t is believed
that he pleaded guilty with view Of
escaping arrest and trial for the Hutch
murder

Many Lives Have Been Lost--Threo
Honorable Soldiers at the Head.
New YORK. Nov. 20-In conversation
with one of the Cuban delegates sent to
Cuba In disguise by the Cuban societies in
this city and Brooklyn. he states:
1T is n we'll known fact that the Span
ish government controls both the tele-
graph and cable lines. and it is its policy
in this present trouble 10 Withhold all
authentic news from the outside world.
1T is facc that there has been fighling
going on for the past few weeks between
the insurgents and the Spanish troops.
Many lives have been lost on both sides
"rhe insurgents are headed by three
honorable and brave soldiers. The leader
is Higinio Esquerra, veteran of the war
of 1863
IA number of arrests have been made
by the Spanish government, but from last
reports Esquerra is still at the head of the
insurgents.
"Never since the beginning of the Cuban
insurrection has so much ammunition
been shipped into Cuba, right under the
noses OF the custom house authorities, in
different disgrises, rs during the past Il
months.
con Tuesday last an expedition started
for Cuba with men, money and ammuni-
ton It went away quietly, and only the
Cuban societies knew OF the departure OF
the vessel.
"The recent outrages by the Spanish gov
ernment have hsstened the revolt, and the
societies are only waiting for news from
their friends in Cuba to send out much
larger expedition than was sent on Tues

course in substance was this:
s,rhe blind man saw people around him
but not clearly. The force Of the simile
that compares people TO trees is apparent.
His sight was partially restored, he saw
not fully.
"Tbe tendency TO look upon human
life as something less than 1t really is is
growing Christianity has mission TO
counteract this tendency. In a thousand
ways this mission is being accomplished.
The history Of mankind for centuries
shows il. But although the religion Of
Jesus Christ has opened our eyes TO the
value OF human life as we nave
never seen it before, 1t has
not, nevertheless, opened our eyes so
clcaely rs it should. We yet see vaguely.
We do not yet realize the true value OF
human life in all its entirety. We see IL

''The materialistic tendancy IL not all
of one kind. 1t may be gross, coarse

sophie, the kind that insinuates itself

dangerous. There is a materialism that

deeds. This is the materialism that

Cut it down.
Civilization has taught the rich to re-

down and cast into the fire. 1t has also
taught the poor to regard the rich as

I'VE must know human life as il is ON
the earth II we would minister TO it in

Jesus was a student of human life and
knew how TO minister to its needs. We
