Cincinnati, o., Dec. 6.-Miss Joseph
inc Brand, of LaWrenceburg, Ind, was
robbed OF S10,5OO in cash on The streets
of Cincinnati tonight. Miss Brand,
who is a teacher, had added to her
savings a small Inheritance from her
father. She Kept the money in the
Central Trust vaults on Fourth street
in this city. Desiring TO have the
money reinvested she drew it late Il is
afternoon, putting it in three rolls,
which she placed in hand sal chel.
She went out to catch g, train at
Fourth street and Central avenue. In
a. crowd some one came behind her,
seized her satchel, jerked 1T off her arm,
pushing her violently forwerd, and es-
capped without leaving a clue. The pc
lice think it was a random grab of a
hungry tramp who was not at all
aware Of the richness OF the steal. Miss
Brand diverted pursuit from the thief
by screaming and faintlng. She was
carried to the nearest drug store and
late tonight was sent to awrenceburg

PAINTERS AND DECORATORS.
They Vote to Adopt the Initiative
and Referendum Plan.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 6.-At today's ses-
sion of the Brotherhood OF Painters and
Decorators of America, It was voted to
approve the abolition of conventions
and to adopt the initiative and referen-
dunn plan. The action of the conven-
ton does not settle the question, how
ever, as it will have to be taken and
acted upon the local lodges throughout
the United States and Canada. It is
expected that the doing away with the
conventions will obviate much of the
dissatisfaction growing out of the meet
ings of such bodies. The local lodges
are given nine months in which to send
to the general secretary their decision
on the question.
The convention then continued the
constitution and bylaws.

Tucson, Ariz., Dec. e.-Among the
Huachua mountains at Salvation army
camp, about forty miles from Tucson,
a man was arrested for whom the au-
thorities have been hunting for years.
He is John w. Hillmon, and the cap
ture was made by Sam W. Finley, a
deputy collector of customs at Nogales,
and Orren Gemmill, undersheriff OF La
Junia. His capture recalls one of the
most remarkable cases in the annals of
crime.
In 1879 Hillmon and two companions,
one of them resembling him very close
~, took a trip into the Buffalo noun
tains in Texas to hunt. They were gone
several weeks and when Rillmon and
one companion returned, the man bear
ing so striking a resemblance to him,
failed to accompany him.
Was Il Murderous Scheme.
1t seems that Hillmon, who carried
an insurance on his life of $4,000, while
in the mountains conceived a murder
Gus scheme and killed in cold blood
the man who SO closely resembied him,
and then returned to the settlement.
He took the name Of the man whom
he had murdered and said that Hillmon
had been accidentally shot dead and
buried UP in the mountains. In due
time Mrs. Hillmon made claim to the
different insurance companies in which
her husband had been insured, for $780,
900. The insurance. people became sus-
picious and began an investigation.
The remains of the man whom Hillmon
had murdered were exhumed and it was
fhayr oot he
remains of Hillmon. Mrs. Hillmon in
stituted legal proceedings in the courts
of Topeka. Kansas, her home, to recover
the amount Of insurance. The case was
carried from one court TO another until
finally she secured judgment for the
principal, interest and attorneys fees
in the Supreme Court Of the United
States. According to the order of the
court the Judgment must be satisfied
at the end of this year. During all this
time the insurance companies have kept
detectives on the trail of Hillmon, who
disappeared shortly after his wife made
claim for the insurance. He was fol-
lowed to Australia and other foreign
countries and a reward Of $1,000 was
offered for his apprehension, dead or
alive. On the fourth of last month
Undersheriff Gemmill arrived in this
territory from Colorado and interested
Finley in the case.
Trailing the Murderer.
Gemmill, having learned that Hillmon
was in Conora, he and Finley TOOK the
murderer's trail at Magdalena, Sonora,
and followed him to Altara- Sonora,
thence to Prescott, Ariz., Mexico City,
Old Glory Camp and then to Salvation
army camp in the HIachucas, where he
wac arrested. Hillmon denied that he
was the right man when told by the
officers what they wanted him for He
was then taken to Tombstone, where he
is held pending the arrival of cxtradi-
ton papers, from the governor Of Kan
sas.

The storm Blows Over.

At this point pleasant incident oc-
Cured which restored the entente cor
dale between Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Harris.
For several days their thrusts at each
other had been almost vicious Thursday
night Mr.. Hoar referred TO Mr.. Harris as
the drum major Of the Democratic side.
The passage alarms yesterday between
the Massachusetts and Tennessee senators
was the direct outRrowth of this remark.
Mr.. Harris arose TO move TO lay the
Aldrich amendment on the table. Mr.
Hoar craved Mr.. Harris indulgence for 80
seconds to reply TO an observation made
by Mr.. Blanchard
'Tn view ofthe excessive courtesy Of the
senator from Massachusetts,, said Mr.
Harris, with imposing Difference, II yield
30 seconds 70 him."
Mr.. Hoar who appreciated the cause Of
Mr.. Harris temper. said, pleasantly, that
since the senator was 30 kind, he would
ask for an additional 30 seconds.
Mr.. Harris bowed an impressive assent
Then Mr.. Hoar stretched his hand across
the breach. The observation he had made
Thursday night, he said referring to the
appellation of ''drum major" applied to
Mr.. Harris), had been meant as Jest
He had not intended to be seriously dis
respectful to the senator from Tennessee
He held that senator, he said. in the high
est respect, not only for his kindness Of
heart, but his absolute integrity and
great intellectual capacity. In his opin-
ion the senator from Tennessee was the
greatest master Of parliamentary law in
the senate, and he desired to bear his tes-
timony to his high and noble qualities Of
mind and heart.
The words OF Mr. Hoar evidently
touched the veteran senator from Tennes-
see. The kindest relations had always
existed between Mr.. Hosr and himsalf, he
replied. He confessed that he had been
stung to the quick. He accepted the ex-
planation with pleasure and qualification,
aud felt greatly obliged for the Justice

have the 43 votes necessary to pass the
tariff bill, and some Of the Republicans
predict that the bill will pass within q
few weeks Until the sugar schedule
and the income tar proposition are dis
posed Of IL Is unsafe 20 make any predic-
ton when vote will be reached on the
final passage of the measure.
A leading Republican senator from
New England said yesterday that he and
others on the Republican side were walt
ing to see what Senator Hill was going TO
do. The New York senator, In hisirecsnt
visit TO New York, had notified his friends
there that he proposed to kill the pending
bill. The Republicans are therefore wait
ing to see what Hill intends 70 do and
how he proposes to accomplish his pur-
pose.
He will take hand In the debate when
the sugar schedule Is reached, and 1t is
understood he will make some sensational
disclosures concerning the alleged bar
gain and sale In the arrangement of that
and other schedules
Yesterdays Debate.
The senate disposed of Ave pages OF the
tariff bill yesterday, completing the con-
sideration of the metal schedule, except
the paragraphs relating to lead and zinc
and their manufactures.
In the morning Mr. Kyle asked for q
vote on the resolution, but Mr.. Gray in
sisted that IL a vote was TO be had on a
resolution relating to Hawaii II should be
on the one which Mr.. Turpie had reported
from the committee on foreign relations.
Mr.. Harris broke In upon the debate
and declared that the tariff bill was be-
fore the senate and further debate on this
subject was out Of order.
Mr.. Hoar protested In vigorous terms
against what he termed these repeated
"angry and discourteous lectures from
the senator from Tennessee"
"The tariff bill II before the senate" re-
torted Mr.. Harris, "and the senator from
Massachusetts, is violating the rules by
continuing the debate on resolution
that has Just gone over. AS far as the
courtesy of the senator from Tennessee is
concerned" /" he added, in whitening tones,
che owes less courtesy TO the senator from
Massachusetts, than any other senator on
the hoor."
"If the senator from Tennessee owes
anybody courtesy" retorted Mr.. Hoar, in
kind, "he is hopeless bankrupt; he could
not pay 1000th Of mill on the dollar"
He could pay as much a. the senator
from Massachusetts"
Mr.. Teller then talked at length upon
the tariff He devoted most of his speech
to the monetary question and the advo-
cacy of the double standard at a ratio of
16 TO l.
Mr.. Blanchard then took the floor and
made his maiden speech in the senate In
advocacy of the tariff bill, and particularly
in defense Of the sugar schedule.
