AFTER HIS INSURANCE.
LAWYER CARR NOT MURDERED
BY BURGLARS.
He Married a Woman OF. Easy Virtue,
Who Has Been Arrested for Com
pIioity In tho Crime Three
Other Arrests.

DENVER. Feb. 6.-Mrs. Carr. widow of
Harry l.. Carr, the attorney who was
murdered at home Sunday night by
supposed burglars, was arrested this
afternoon charged with completely in
the crime. Bessie Sherwood. Jim Tracy,
a gambler, an,s Ted Dolson, friends of
Mrs. Carr, were also taken into custody.
The theory upon which the arrests were
made lie that these people entered into
a conspiracy to make away with Carr
for the purpose of securing possession Of
his life insurance, said to amount to
1000. Mrs. Carr stoutly maintains
that her husband was killed by bur
glars. Carr was one OF the most prom
inent lawyers in the city, but his life
has been very rapid and checkered. He
came here several years ago from Balti-
more, where he left his wife and two
children. He obtained divorce here.
His second wife committed suicide in
this city year and half ago on ac-
count OF domestic troubles. Six months
later he met Miss Jennie Black, who
had recently arrived from Buffalo, N.
Y, in Market street bagnio, and be-
coming infatuated with her, married
her January 8, 1898. Since their mar
riage, it is well known that Mrs. Carr
has been leading a dual life, making the
rooms of her friend, Miss Sherwood, the
rendezvous where she met Tracy and
DoleOp.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Voorhees' state
ment on behalfof the Democratic mem
bers of the senate finance committee as
to the reasons for retuHing hearings on
the Wilson bill, sets forth that prompt
and speedy action on the pending tariff
legislation is required at this time by
every patriotic and business considera-
tion. The majority OF the committee
intend that no delay shall occur which
it is possible to avoid. We are deter
mined that the business men of the
country of all classes shall at very
early day have full and clear insight
into the laws of tariff taxation which
shall hereafter prevail. The privilege
of hearing would be unlimited as to
time and become an instrument OF de-
lay more formidable than ilibustering.
If one side is to be heard, 60 must the
other side. Already more than a million
circulars, embracing interrogstories
touching every branch of business
known in the census of 1890, have been
addressed to all industries, and abund-
ant streams of information are pouring
in for use in discussion in the senate.
In addition to this nearly all the pro-
tected manufacturers were heard before
the committee on ways and means OF
the house, and the testimony there
taken is ia print and in possession of
the senate. The whole subject is very
familiar to the American mind and
needs no further elucidation than will
be incident to full and free debate. The

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The meeting OF
the National Wool Growers association,
called to attempt to defeat the free wool
provisions OF the Wilson tariff bill, be-
gan this morning. Immediately after
the opening of the meeting committee
was appointed to draw up petition ad-
dressed to the finance committee of the
senate, asking for hearing on the wool
schedules of the tariff bill. A recess
was then taken pending the report of
the committee. Hon. William Law
renee of Ohio, president of the associa-
tion, presided.
Among the mem bers OF the association
already here are Ex-senator Francis E.
Warren of Wyoming; William A. Her
riott, Federal, Pa, president of the
Pennsylvania Wool Growers associa-
tion; Hon. J. III. Mcconnell of Elk

Ore., editor of the Rural Spirit; A. G..
Beal of San Francisco. and Frank J.
Hegart of Idaho, secretary Of the asso-
citation.
The following preamble and resolution
were presented to Chairman Voorhees,
of the senate committee on finance, by
q delegation of wool growers:
Whereas, The National Wool Growers
association, representing an industry in
which are directly interested and en-
gagged 100000 people, owning and car

interested capital of over 5000, ,000, 900
and an indirect investment of $500, 000,- :
600 more, are desirous Of being heard in
the interest of the sheep and wool in
dustry, which it is believed is seriously
threatened-even to complete annihila-

pointed-to present the cause for the
consideration of your honorable COM
mittee.
In reply to the petition Voorhees, said
the com mmittee had determined to give
no verbal hearing, and it would not be
possible to make an exception in the
case OF the wool growers. He suggested
that the association submit written
statement. The members OF the asso
citation will remain in the city for week
or more, and will probably endeavor tc
influence senators personally, being de-

Republican Senators Want Hearings on

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Tbe Republican
members OF the senate finance commit
tee, through Senator Aldrich, gave out
the following statement in reply to that
of the Democratic members:
"The minority of the finance commit
tee are greatly surprised at the cbarac-
ter OF the statement handed them, and
said to have been furnished the press,
by the majority OF the committee, in
regard to the refusal to give hearings on
the tariff bill. The Republican mem
bers, relying on assurances given them
by the chairman during the session OF
the committee, had supposed hearings
would be given as matter OF course.
and had so informed all parties deslrous
OF being heard.
1.-THE matter came up in the commit
tee this morning, upon the request for a
hearing, made by member in behalf
of representatives of the farmers and
wool growers of the United States, now
present in Washington, and upon the
request of other members in behalf of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The Democratic
members of the senate committee on
finance lost no time in proceeding with
the work upon the tariff bill, after it
was decided not to grant hearings to in
terested parties. Jones of Arkansas,
Mills and Vest, comprising all the MEM
bers OF the subcommittee on tariff, ex-
cept Voorhees,, met today and took up
the bill with view to putting it in
shape at the earliest practicable moment
for submission, first to the Democratic
members and afserward to the full
committee. The meeting was of an ex-
ceedingly private character, and the
proceedings are not given out. Consider
able progress was made with the work,
owing largely to the fact that these
gentlemen had all given much attention
to the bill and had conferred among
themselves to a eufficient extent to be
familiar with one another's views upon
the questions at issue. They have de-
termined to make few concessions on
important articles. like coal and sugar.
A duty will be placed on these articles,
but whether it will be specific or ad
valorem in character, has not been de-
termined. If specific, the duty decided
upon will, in the case OF sugar, prob
ably be a cent per pound, and coal 30
cents or dollar ton. No decision has
been reached ON the income tax. There
are on the Democratic side some strong
advocates of striking out this part Of
the bill, but so many Democratic men,
befs are favorable to this tax that it has
become evident that this change will be
difficult, if not impossible of accom-.
plishment. Jones of Arkansas is urgent
in advocacy OF an increased tax upon
beer, but has not 80 far met with great
encouragement at the hands of the
other members OF the committee.

LONG ON SALMON.

San francisco Commission Firm
Financially Embarrassed.
San Francisco, Feb. 6.--Scotchler &
Gibbs, commission merchants at 31S
Front street, are financially embar-
rassed. They have turned over in trust
to Byron F. Stone of the firm Of Fl eld &
Stone, also commission merchants, all
their available assets, together with
their books and accounts. The firm
claims to be able to meet all liabilities
if given time. claiming that the embar-
rassment is only temporary. A meeting
of creditors will be held on Saturday
next.
The firms liabilities are estimated at
about 5000, 900. The assets are said to
be considerably above this amount. The
firms embarrassment is due to inability
to turn heavy stock of canned salmon
into each, on account of the dull mar
ket. and thus meet the demands OF
urgent creditors. Scotchler & Gibbs
own four canneries on the Columbia
river and one near Sacramento.

In June, 1893, Ross says MacDonough
violated his contract. took the horse
away from him, refused TO pay bis ex-
penses and salary or permit him to
breed mares to Urmonde. Damages are
claimed as follows: Living expenses
for three years, $4,000; house to live in,
$500; value of privilege OF breeding
two mares to Ormondv, $4,000; salary.
$4,000.
Ross says he induced MacDonough to
purchase Ormonde by demonstrating
how he could make million dollars out
of the transaction. The plan was to
allow the stallion to serve 20 mares
year for three years, which would net
100000. MacDonough also proposed to
breed 10 mares OF his own each year.
The produce would have averaged 21
colts, worth $4,000 each. In three
years he would have made $340 900, and
the profits during the life time of the
stallion would reach million dollars.
MacDonough denies that he made an
agreement with Ross, and says "Ross
offered to take 5000 for his services. The
horse was really bought through Tat
tersall's, in London. Ross abandoned
the horse in England, causing me great
trouble, and l shall fight this case to
the end. MacDonough has recently
entered into an arrangement with the
Stanford estate, whereby Ormonde ia to
serve Palo Alto mares, MacDonough
taking all the colts and Palo Alto all the

San Francisco, Feb. g. Two weeks
more and the success of the northern
citrus fair display will be duplicated by
that of the southern citrus fair, which
opens in the Southern California build
ing on February Goth.
When the location of the Southern
California building was first decided
upon. some of those interested seemed
to think that it would be disadvan-
tageous, but go much has been made of
the lay of the land in this connection
that the Southern California building,
with the broad sweep of roadway lead
ing up to it from the grand plaza, is one
of the most conspicuous buildings in
the exposition. The roadway is lined
ON either side with settees. and on theae
hundred of people are to be seen every
day, resting after coming out of this
southern citrus palace.
San Bernardino ia the only county
that has not yet placed it's exhibit. Los
Angeles county occupies the central
place; San Diego 10 on the left; Ven-
tura adjoins her, and the other southern
counties are all in line. There is a fla
vor of citrus fruits pervading all the at
mosphere surrounding this building,
and there is gleam of gold before the
eyes of the visitor whichever way he
may turn.

SPOTTTNG A BAD EGG.

The most reliable method, rs we'll
rs the easiest for determining the de-
gree of freshness of an egg, is to hold
it to the ear and shake it. The egg
she'll is perforated by small pores,
which can only be seen by the aid of
a microscope. Through those pores,
day by day, the albumen inside the
egg evaporates, and its place is taken
by air. When the egg is full fluid
passes constantly toward the pores,
and is the principal agent of eorrup-
ton, the corruption being manifested
more rapidly in warm than in cold
weather. An egg absolutely fresh is
entirely full, but stale eggs have all
an empty space in proportion to their
age, caused by the loss of albumen by
evaporation. Thus, if any sound can
be heard when the egg is shaken, it is
safe to throw it aside as unfit for use.
