SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 29.-Frank
Howell, ranchman, of Pecos county,
arrived here and brings news of the
killing of a prominent young Amari-
can, namod Henry ". Carew, 6y band
Of Mexican outlaws, supposed to be re-
mants of Santa Perez's so-cailed re-
Yolutionary forces. Mr. Carew came to
southwest Texas few months ago
from Chattanooga, Tenn, and was
prospecting in Pecos county with a
view of going into the sheep rasing
business there on an extensive scale.
He left the ranch of Mr.. Howell last
Tuesday for trip into Mexico. He
was travelling alone and had hardly
crossed the border when he was attact-
ed and killed. His pockets were rifed
OF considerable sum of money and his
horse stolen. Tae body of the murder
ed man was not found until Friday.
The trial of the bandits has been fol-
lowed into the mountains below the

An Honest Man.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Several days
ago Representative Sioley of Peonsyl.
vania resigned his seat in the House.
He was not in sympathy with the tar
iff bill. He felt that he could not con-
sis:ently support it, and he thought 1t
better to retire from public life and per-
init his constituents to elect success
sor who would more properly represent
their wishes. The resignation met
with storm of protests from many of
the leading g 3mbers of his party. Sib.
ley went over to Harrisburg Saturday
and had conference with Governor
Pattison. The Governor urged him to
reconsider his resignation, his argu-
ment being that his withdrawal from
Congress at this time would work more
injury to the party organization than
any action which Slbley might take re-
garding the tariff bill. Sibley received
a number of telegrams today from his
constituents urging him to withdraw
his resignation and serve out his term.
In compliance with these requests Sib.
ley has decided to remain, but this de-
cision will not affect his action upon
the tariff bill. He is still unalteredly
opposed to that measure, and will vote
against it.

purported to be the eve of his self-de.

other to friend and another to re-

the other he held himself up in the
light of a warning to his friend. The

a Singular Case.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 3l.-The feat.
ures of the Harry Hill trial today were
the statements Of the defendant and
the examinations of his aunt Mrs. Ca.
sey and his ex-partner and lawyer,
Ectols.
Hill, in his statement which he read,
declared that Mrs. Porter had given him
money on various occasions. The first
that she ever gave him was 500, which
she handed to him in the Dairy Kiteh-
en-, New York, where they were lunch.
ing. That was in 1856. The following
Christmas, she made him present OF
500. The next year, 1887, SHE gave
him $3.50. Of this she handed him $500
at her own home in Atlanta and the
other $3.50 she put in his pocket during
carriage drive. In 1889, Hill said he
accompanied her part of the way to
Macon. On parting she handed him
an envelope which upon opening he
found contained $500. In 1890, be re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Porter, con-
tanning $3.50 and later ia the year she
sent him S400 by express. In 1891,
Mrs. Porter made the first note which
was for $1,000. This Hill discounted.
Hill proceeded to detail the aid which
Mrs. Porter had rendered him from
time to TIM; how she became mem
Der of the Wilson Whiskey Company,
unknown to her husband and brother.
This company was bad inVesement
and cost Mrs. Porter heavily, as neither
of the other members of the concern
had anything to put in It. Probably
ten notes were made. Hill declared
that in each instance Mrs. Porter either
signed them or he signed them in her
presence with her consent. Hill as
serted dramatically that he never
forged her name to a single note and
protested his innocence of the charge.
Mrs. Casey, the defendants aunt tes-
titled that she was an intimate friend
of Mrs. Porter's. The witness had de-
clined to invest her money in the Will
son Wbiskey Company and advised
Mrs Porter not to do SO without in
forming her family. 81 said to her
that it would be discovered some day
and that then hers would be the sad

Echols described the scene when he
informed Mrs. Porter that Hill had
forged her name to notes. Mrs. Casey
was present. Mrs. Porter was deeply
moved.

Caused by Speculation.

ELLAyILLE, Ca, Jan 31.-The shock
to the people of .EllaVille was great
when it was announced on Monday
morning that the Planters Bank bad
been burglarized and robbed ofall its
money, but it was nothing in comparis-
on to the eject upon them when it was
generally known at 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon that Cashier J. E. Clark, who
was esteemed so highly by all the peo.
ple,wa most probably the perpetrator
of the crime. Early this morning, he
went to the nearest drug store and pro-
cured half an ounce of laudanum, pre-
tending he wanted it for tOothache
which he swallowed as soon as he re-
ached his room. He was shortly af-
terWard interviewed by three pro eminent
bank officials, to whom he confessed
that he had taken the money, and tha:
the laudanum was taken with suicidal
intent. An emetic was at once admin
istered and the poison promptly expell-
ed. Detective Jones from Atlanta, has
been here for the past two days WORK
ing the case up, and within less than
four hours after he arrived, be point
ed out Cashier Clark as the roOber of
the bank.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
q bag of silver was found among pile
of rubbish in the back part Of the bank
building and showed no sigus Of hav-
ing been burned by any kind of ex-
plosive. The six steel plugs Which pro-
ject into the solid wall Of the safe when
fastened were uninjured, ,norwas the safe
harmed ID any respect except that the
door was blown from its hinges. These
facts led to the conclusion that CASHIER
Clark had removed the money, filed the
powder, placed his fuse in position
closed but not fastened the door and
then applied the match, which con-
clusions are thought to be true by Clark
confessing. The holes drilled into the
outer door of the vault and into the
safe door were put there as a blind. The
tools used were found at Clark's direc-
ton in the bottom OF an old well neer
the depot. something over $4,000 has
been founn $500 of which was il
Clark's pocket and trunk. Speculation
