door to the house occupied by the murdered
woman, went into the house and found
Mrs. Petty dead in a little room on the
second floor.
The crime is ole Of the foulest that has
been committed IN this city for years, and
there is not the slightest doubt that rob-
berry was the object of the crime. 1t was
q well-known fact that the woman had
z large sum of money hidden about the
house. and she openly talked of this fact.
A reporter found several bundles OF green
backs hidden away in a large package of
lamp black. The money filled a small bas-
ket. The woman had evidently been muir
dered in the hallway. Her hat was found on
the floor under a chair, and the wall was
spattered with blood. The body had been
carried upstairs and laid in the room where
II was found. Her clothing had been torn
open as though a search had been made on
her person for money.
The murderer had gained entrance to the
house through the cellar door, which was
found to be unlocked
The filth in the house Is indescribable
the bodies of four dead cats were found
laying on the dining room table covered
with piece Of old carpet The old woman
always had a large number of cats in the
house, and she used to say when alive that
she put money around the floor so that
the animals could go and get their dinner

THE PALMETTO TRADE MARK.
The Commissioner of Patents Appea
Brief Ready to BE Filed.

The appeal brief Of the commissioner cf
patents In the case Of the application of .he
state Of South Carolina for trade mark CT
dispensary whisky, has been prepared, and
will be filed probably tomorrow. The brief
is the result of the labor Of Levin H. Camp
bell. law clerk of the patent office, who.
with John l. Hail. is also counsel for the
commissioner of patents. Several months
ago an applicatio for the registration OF
an alleged trade mark, Palmetto" was
filed in the patent Office in the name Of
the state of South Carolina, signed by b.
r. Tillman, governor of said state.
The application was denied. Whereupon,
the applicant petitioned the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia for an alterna-
tive writ Of mandamus. directed to the COM
missioner Of patents, to command him to
register the alleged trademark to the rela-
tor. The court ordered rule to show why
the writ should not issue, as prayed by the
petitioner. The commissioner demurred TO
the petition. and the court overruled the
demurrer. Thereupon the commissioner
filed an answer explaining why he refused
to register the alleged trademark. Where
upon the petitioner moved the court to
quash the return. The motion was granted.
and an order made by the court directing
peremptory writ of mandamus to issue to
the commissioner commanding him to reg
lister the trademark and make return to the
court within twenty days. The brief In
question then sets forth six assignments of
error.

captured by the Mahdists were distributed
among the harems, where a number OF them

MORE SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
They Collected Funds for Revolution

airy Meetings In Paris.
PARIS. Dec 27.-Three anarchists, named
Rousel, Voght and Thiebault, were arrested
here today. They have been in the habit
of collecting from door to door subscrip-
tons for the so-called soup conferences
started by Madame Severins. These soup
conferences were simply revolutionary
meetings that were mostly attended by
members Of the dangerous classes, who
there obtained soup and bread while they
listened to violent Trades against the gov
eminent and the bourgeoisie. When dona-
tons were refused the collectors limited
that the anarchists would remember those
who refused assistance, and this yelled
threat had the desired effect.
1t Is stated that the papers found at the
lodgings of Rousel, Voght and Thiebault
have given important information, which
the police will promptly act upon.
The authorities have suppressed the soup
conferences. Two other men, named Chat
tiilon and Bonnet, were concerned in The
collection of subscriptions, and 1t Is pos
sibie that all five of them will be indicted
for obtaining money under false pretens es
1t seems that much of the money collected
ostensibly for the soup conferences was
spent in riotous living by the collectors.
They made rich hauls on December "a and
Christmas day, some persons being fright
ened into giving money to them, while
others gave with the idea that they were
helping worthy charity.

rels OF flour, against sc, 223 barrels the pre-
ceding week; 1881 for the corresponding
time in 1892, and S.441 in 1891. Business
was stimulated by declining freight rates.
Prices OF mill products are not changed
The mills have been troubled about get
ting enough wheat from current receipts,
% light have the latter been.
The demand for patent -four has been
good. while mill stuff has commanded a
ready sale. The export shipments were
1900 barrels. against IL 500 barrels the week
before. The stock of flour in store amounts
TO $500 barrels against 44.O11 the week
before, and 81. 500 in 1892 There are five
