MILLER's ACooMPLIoE CAUGHT

News has just been received from
Cairo, ILL.,, of the arrest at Milan,
Tenn, of the accomplice, and partner
in crime, of Seay, or Commodore Mil
Ter, the ravisher and murderer of
Mary and Ruby Ray, at Bardwell,
KY, last week. II is positively as
serted that the negro arrested at Mi
Ian is the tiend who actually commit
ted both Of the terrible murders, after
he and his brutal companion had sue
ceeded in violating the persons of
their helpless victims. The Sheriff at
Bardwell, Ky, has been notified, and
if he proves to be the man as claim
ed another lynching is in prospect. A
passenger conductor on the Illinois
Central, who brings the news of the
arrest, says the man fought desper-
ately, but when finally oyorpowed ad-
mitted that he had murdered the girls
and that Miller knew it and refused
to divulge it. Miller, while in jail at
Bardwell, is claimed to have said that
while he did not commit the crime, he
knew who did it, but afterwards de-
MED having said so.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

COL. ooHILTREE's LATEST.

1t is announced from Long Branch,
N j., that Col. Tom Ochiltree, the
noted Texan, will wed Mrs. Eugene
Wicks, of st. Louis, Mo-, widow of
Col. Wicks, the millionaire real estate
broker of San Antonio, Texas. Mrs.
Wicks has, since the death of her hus-
band, resided in ST. Louis, where she
is greatly admired for her grace of
mind and beauty OF person. Her
maiden name was Miss Thompson,
and she was accounted quite belle
and noted beauty before her first
marriage. 1t is very probable that
the gallant Colonel will take up his
residence after marriage, with his
wife in the city of st. Louis. The
New York papers have devoted con-
siderable space to the Coloneps ru-
mored engagement for some time, but
they have not been able to ascertain
who The fortunate lady was. Mrs.
Wcks is o very beautiful blonde,
above the medium height, and mag
nifcently proportioned. She has been
widow now about year She
married Col Wicks in Saratoga about
two years ago. Col. Ochiltree intro
duced her to him at that resort, hav-
ing been presented to her himself
some time before by Mrs. Henry
Ames of st. Louis. Mrs. Wicks and
Col. Ochiltree are to be seen at the
Monmouth park races together every
day, and every evening they are to be
seen around the Hollywood house.

MICRO CUTTING AFFRAY.
Henry Adams, Inhicts Terrible
Wounds on Jim Coleman.

At 7:30 o'clock this morning, in the
alleyway just back of the old Burton
residence, ON Forest street, Henry
Adams, desperate negro of the city,
attacked, and, it is thought, fatally cut
Jim Coleman, another negro. The
cutting was done with large knife,
which Adams plunged repeatedly in
the breast of his adversary. The
worst, and probably fatal, wound is
Immediately over the right lung, pene-
trating, it is feared, tho vital organs.
The body of the wounded negro pre-
sented sickening appearance, and
resembled, In its terribly mutllated
condition, the carcass of an animal
fresh from the hands of the butcher.
AS usual, there was woman at the
bottom of the trouble, which was the
result of a jealous quarrel between
the two men over the favors of a
dusky damsel, known as Lizzie. The
difficulty occurred at the woman's
house, Adams going there at an early
hour this morning, and, finding his
enemy in lordly possession of the
premises, became so enraged that he
seized his rival by the neck and drag
ged him from the house out into the
alley, where he proceeded to butcher
him in style which would have done
credit to his widest ancestor in the
Congo States of Africa, or brought a
murmur af approval from the blood
lest savage among the Indian tribes OF
North America. After satisfying his
vengeance Adams made his escape,
He is a young negro, almost black, OF
medium size and has scar, made by
the bullet from Winchester, running
the full length of his cheek.
DR.. w. G. Spearman was called to
see the wounded man and proceeded
to dress his wounds, assisted by Drs,
Mann and Read. DR.. Spearman in,

grain and other farm products, to Eu-

ports, especially of cotton and wheat,

creased, to the great injury of this
country.
8. The large Indebtedness of the
/ government of the United States and
of the several states, of municipal,
railroad, manufacturing and other cor
porations, and of associations, firms
and private persons, amounting in the
aggregate to many billions of dollars,
makes it a monstrous crime to violate
the equitable right of these debtors to
make payment in the kinds of legal
tender money which existed when the
debts were created, by depriving them
of the use of silver, To strike down
silver as money would about double
the burdens of all debtors, and very
greatly increase the value of all secu-
rites for money in violation of the
implied law of the contracts under
which these debts were created. And
when we remember the almost incal
culable amount Of the indebtedness of
the governments and corporations OF
the world, who is bold enough to as
sumo that these debts can be paid il
the legal tender currency of the world
should be reduced to gold alonei
Does anyone believe that in that
event it would be possible for the rail
road corporations of the United States
to ever pay the more than five billions
of dollars which they now owe? The
most of which is held by European
capitalists, largely by those of Great
Britain and Germany.

A WOULD BE MARTYR.

Henry Starr, the train robber, out

at Denver, Col evidently desires to
pose as martyr before the general
public and secure, as far as possible,
the sympathy of the officers Of the
law and peaceable citizens whom he
has so long defied and often outraged.
In recent interview Starr was ques-
toned as to his identity with the cell
ebrated outlaw of that name. His
answer was: "Well, ! guess there is
no mistake; you see all there is left Of
him." was the mournful rejoinder.
"Well, | guess my friends and enemies

When asked how he likes the ides

THE DEATH SCENE.
Excitement Over the Chicago Holo-
caust Continues Unabated.


Fully ten thousand people were as
sembled around the ruins of the Cold
Storage building at the fair grounds
in Chicago yesterday morning. Out
of this great crowd few idle specta-
tors could be discerned, but the great
majority present were drawn there
by the common impulses of humanity,
watching the search for bodies with
horror-stricken faces, lest the next
cry of "body foundn should quench
forever the fond hope of loved ones
living return.
In the early morning hours yester-
day three charred bodies, making a
total of thirteen, were found and re-
moved from the debris. The remains
of the bodies found have, in most in
stances, been so badly charred and
disfgured as TO make recognition i'm
possible. One thing seemed quite ev-
ident, however, and that is that the
bodies are not those Of firemen. The
locality in which they were found
seems to preclude this possibility. On
one of the bodies was found a leather
belt, to which were attached a pair OF
steel pincers, thus practically proving
the remains to be those Of a lineman
The discovery gave fresh color to the
fearful apprehension that the firemen
were by no means the only ones who
fell victims to the flames. The elec.
trio light company had number Of
men in the tower part of the building
stringing wires at the time the fire
broke out, and several of these are
still missing.
Four Columbian guards were unac
counted for yesterday morning and
their companions are naturally very
solicitous as to their fate.
There seems to be no doubt thai
the death list is still decidedly incom
plete. 1t has been definitely ascer
tained that but eleven firemcn lost
their lives. All others have turned
up, either safe or injured.
Many of those around the ruins
were people who had missing friends
or relatives and who were seeking tc
identify the bodies discovered. II
numerous instances these parties wer,
visitors 10 the fair, but were uncer
tain whether the missing even visited
the cold storage. II was though
probable that several Of these vii
turn up all right.
The ravages ofthe fire amply serv
ed to demonstrate the unsubstantial
|
nlmsy and innammable condition o
the structure. the layer Of stuff tina
gave an appearance Of marble solidity
to the building served to arouse tn,
spectators te state of intense indig
nation to-day. The Worlds Fair Off
cials claim that they are not responsi
BILE for this, defending themselves b!
the assertion that as the cold storag'
warehouse was a concession and con
structed as a private enterprise or ex
hiblt, the Worlds Fair authoritie
should not be held responsible for thu
loss of life.

a Night In d Cistern.

George Collenge and Phillip Zetek,
Of Scotland this state. have lived q
portion OF their lives in a way which
will always furnish them a good
story to tell. These two young men
had planned to clean out a cistcrn on
the premises where they worked.
They room together and waking up
about ! O'Clock at night saw that a
light rain was falling. They were
caught with a streak OF industry and
arose from bed and proceeded toclean
the cistern. Collenge was to GO
down into the hole, and Zetek was to
pull up the refuse matter. The
former, who weighed $50 pounds, tied
a rope around his waist and told
Zetek TO let him down carefully.
Zetek weighs l25 pounds, which IN
der the circumstances was a little
light. Collenge swung off into the
cistern, and Zetek at once conceived
the idea that he would go down too,
not because he wanted to, but because
Collenge's $50 pounds urged him to do
il. C~ollenge arrived at the bottom
but a small part Of a second before
Zetek, but Notwithstanding the short
separation, the boys embraced each
other rather too affectionately to suit
Collenge, who was on his back in the
water. An examination in the
Egyptian darkness OF the cistern
showed no injuries sustained by the
fallen heroes. After a good laugh
the boys set up a howl for help, but
none came. The rain fell faster and
faster and the water rose in the els
tern higher and higher, and the boys
became very anxious. Up crept HE
water hour by hour until it reached
the necks of the boys, who were al
most chilled to death. The young
men had made their adieus to earth
when Henry Youngman rescued them
from their watery bed.
