Revealed In . Confession Found after Bis
Death-Murdered = Minister-Detected
while ExhumIng the Body Of ais Vic-
TINS wife.
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, April s.-There
has been found among the private pa
pers of the late DR.. Francois Foutenay
the written confession OF crime which
occurred twenty-eight years ago, and OF
which DR.. Foutenay was never sus-
pected. Rev. A. M. Feltner, rector
of the Episcopal church, disappeared
mysteriousIy in 1865, and diligent
search by his friends aided by detec-
tives, failed to furnish any clew to
what had become of him. His wife had
Just died, but beyond that no cause for
melancholy was known, and nothing
could be learned to indicate any motive
for going away so strangely.
The document in question is COMES
sion by DIR. Foutenay that he murdered
Rector Feltner. The confession goes
into details. DR.. Foutenay was Mrs.
Feltner's physician, and had become
greatly interested in the case because
OF some peculiar features that appealed
to his professional zeal. When Mrs.
Feltner died he yielded to the tempta-
tlon to steal the body for an autopsy.
He had exhumed it and was preparing
to refill the grave when he received
stunning blow from behind.
Wheeling around the doctor found
himself face to face with Feltner, the
latter maddened by the dissertation OF
his wife's grave. The rector again at
tackled him, and to defend himself,
knowing that protests would be useless,
the doctor seized the shovel and struck
his assailant on the head, hoping to
stun him and escape. The blow CT ushed
the temple bone, causing instant death.
The Mortified murderer placed the body
in the empty coffin and reflled the
grave. Rain washed away all traces OF
the work, and the strange disappear
ance was soon almost forgotten
Dr. Foutenay accomplished his au-
topsy with great advantages to science.
He adopted his victims two children,
both OF whom are living, The daughter
Is married to State officer and the
son Is In the government service. DR..
Foutenay was wealthy bachelor and
left them his fortune. Mrs. Feltner's
body was found where the confession
said 1t had been buried, in the cellar,
and has teen re-lnterred beside that Of
her husband,

Against the Russian Treaty.

CHICAGO, April s.-Russia's attempt
to obtain power to bring back to the
Siberian dungeons every exile who has
found a refuge In this country and the
apparent readiness OF Congress to grant
the request, was vigorously denounced
at the meeting of the Women's Alliance
of Illinois at the Palmer House, last
evening. Mrs Corrinnes Brown offered
the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, An extradition treaty be-
tween the United States and Russia is
now pending; and,
WHEREAS. The Women's Alliance Is
Of the opinion that the United States
cannot afford to violate the principles
of free government by furthering the
private vengeance of an absolute despot
like the Car.
ReSolred, That such treaty should
not be ratified until the citizens OF each
country sustain identical relations to
their respective nations.

A STATE GOES INTO THE LIQUOR
BUSINESS.

South Carolina will go into the liquor
business on her own hook after July lst
next. The new law provides that:
The manufacture, sale or exchange. or
the keeping within this State OF any kind
Of spiriIuous, malt, vinOus, fermented or
other intoxicating liquor, or any compound
or mixture thereof by whatever name
called which will produce intOxication, by
any person, firm, corporation or aSs0cia-
ton shall be regulated and conducted By
officers Of the State.
Then follows the special rules gov
erning the aforesaid officers, which, in
brief, are that liquor can only be OBJ
tanned at State dispensarles, in charge
OF State officers and in sealed packages
OF from half a pint to five gallons,
which must not be opened on the prem
ises. Bar-rooms and clubs must go and
druggists who dispense liquor other
than as compounded in medicines are
liable to get into trouble.
The liquor men who banded 10 fight
the act have been informed by eminent
counsel that the law is not unconstitu-
tlonal and advised 10 obey 10.
After the system has been on trial a

THE HULL STRIKE.
All shipping ParaIyzed - Fireman and
sailors May Join.

LONDON, April S.-The situation aris-
ing from the dock laborers' strike in
Hull is still serious. The refusal OF the
offers 10 compromise made by the
strikers last night has caused much in
dignation among the leaders OF the
Dock LabOrers' Union, as they consider
the refusal OF the owners to be a snub,
and may be said fear that presages q
defeat. Business at the docks was re-
sumed this morning, the work OF load
ing and unloading vessels being
done by nOn-union men, OF whom
there are many in town willing to work
n they are assured protection from the
rlOtOus strikers. The report that the
authorities had asked for military as
sistance, proves 20 have been correct,
and the docks are this morning patrolled
by dragons. The drinking places
along the water front are filed with
strikers and their sympathizers,
who are bitter In their
denunciations of the shipping
Federation. Though threats are heard
in every direction, there has been as yet
to-day no attempt to create disorder
This is probably due to the presence OF
the soldiers and also to the fact that the
police force has been strongly rein
forced. The strikers are sullen, how
ever, and it would require only spark
to start flame that would have disas-
trous consequences. The authorities
are determined TO preserve order at all
hazards, and should the strikers attempt
TO repeat their riotous demonstrations
Of yesterday they will meet with scant
courtesy.
The non-union men are performing
their work satisfactorily, and it is not
believed that any further delay will &C.
cur in the despatch Of vessels or In the
unloading Of those which arrive.
1t is thought probable that an attempt
will be made to draw the Sailors and
Firemen's Union into the struggle
Should a successful attempt Of this kind
be made IL would be hard to foretell how
widespread the strike might become,

was the unluck one, number OF boards
being blown of. Among the main fair

A DETAILED REPORT
OF the Trouble in Indian Territory Sent to
Secretary Smith by the Agents.


WASHINGTON, d. G. April S.-Secre-
tary Hoke Smith has received detail
ed report from Agent Bennett, Of the
Union Agency, on the present troubles
between the factions of the Choctaw
nation. After repeated conferences
and such investigation as he was able
to make the agent says he is thorough
ly convinced that the militia acting un-
der Governor Jones' orders were
the aggressors, and that the 9TH
er party, commonly called the Locke
party, the aggrieved. The Locke
party declared that they were
peaceable, law-abiding Indians, charged
with no offenSe, and they were ready to
surrender to any proper officer OF their
nation clothed with authority; that
they had been unwillingly driven to
band themselves together as means OF
protection against murder by the mill
tia, which they declared were led by
their most deadly personal and political
enemies; that the militia had murder
ously assaulted them and their wives
and their children in their homes, and
wrecked and ruined their property, at
tempted their lives, dragged their
wives and children from their homes
and otherwise grlevously and
wantonly wronged them. After an
elaborate review Of the situation Agent
Bennett concludes that the calling out
Of the militia by Governor Jones to
arrest willis Jones was unnecessary
and unlawful, and that the conflict
precipltated by them was the act OF a
drunken, irresponsible mob, banded
together as militia for the purpose OF
numbering men, women and children,
thereby removing their political oppo-
nents and intimidating others in order
to perpetuate the power OF the parties
at present in authority. In view OF
these facts he strongly urges that the
Nation be placed under martial law
Secretary Smith has requested the
Secretary of War to at once send de-
tachment of troops to the scene Of the
trouble TO maintain the peace and pro-
tect life and property.

PITTsBURG. PA, April s.-Mrs. John
Schubka, wife of Pole, employed In
Jones and Laughlins' Brownstone mill,
South Side, is insane, the result OF a
Joke, and two men are to be arrested.
She is under guard to keep her from
killing herself, and when violent three
men are required to hold her.
Schubka resides in Jones 81 Laugh
Inns row at Twenty-seventh and Car
sons streets. On Monday last the fam
lily decided to celebrate easter after the
fashion Of their native country. In
stead of festivities Easter is celebrated
as Halloween. Tricks and innocent
jokes are played. The Schubkas In
vited several friends to their house,
among them being James Milinak and
Thomas Serell, two neighbors. Jokes
were played until late hour, and to
put q fitting climax on affairs the two
men put up what they called a joke on
Mrs. Schubka. They procured q bucket
of cold water and when the first op-
portunity was afforded il was poured
down the hostess back.
She became frantic, and from that
time on grew steadily worse until she is
violently insane. Twice she has made
dash for the river and was caught.
She raves aud carries on at terrible
rate. She screams and declares an
earthquake is going on. A guard is
kept over her constantly. She is about
30 years old and the mother OF two chill
dren.
The woman's husband appeared be-
fore Alderman Bleichner and made In
formation against Milinsk and Serelie,
charging them with assault and battery.
Warrants are out for their arrest. They
are also nillworkers in Jones e. Laugh
Inns mill. The woman will be taken to
an asylum If continues to rave.

KEEP this in mind constantly: Filter
ing the water which you drink is good
as far as it goes, but If one wants to kill
all disease germs, boiling 1t is an alb
solute necessity. Also be careful Of
the ice you buy to put in the water
which you drink. The purest Of pure
water can become the most dangerous
Of polluted water through the use Of
impure ice. Freezing does not kill
bacili. The advent OF warm weather
makes these suggestions the more i'm
pOrtant.
