Mrs. Carr Arresteu aor Completely In the
Death of Her Husband.
DENVER, Colo, Feb. Mrs. Carr.
wife Of Harry L. Carr, the attorney, who
was murdered at his home Sunday light
by supposed burglars, was arrested dur
ing the afternoon charged with COM
plicity in the crime. Bessie Sherwood,
Jim Tracey, gambler, and Ted Dol
son, intimate friends of Mrs. Carr, were
also taken into custody. The theory
upon which the arrests were made is
that these people entered into q conspir
acy to make. away with Carr for the
purpose of securing possession of his life
insurance, which is said to amount to
$20,0OO. Mrs. Carr stoutly maintains
that her husband was killed by burg
lars. Carr was one of the most promi-
nent lawyers of the city, but his life, as
well as that of his last wife, has been
Very Rapid and Checkered One.
The man came here from Baltimore two
years ago, where he left wife and two
children. His second wife committed
suicide in this city year and half ago
on account of domestic troubles. Six
months later he met Miss Jennie Black,
who had recently arrived from Buffalo, in
Market street bagnio, and, becoming
infatuated, married her Jan. 3, 1898.
Since her marriage it is well known that
Mrs. Carr has been leading dual life,
making the rooms of her friend, Miss
Sherwood, q rendezvous, where she met
Tracey and DOlsOn.

Fifty Masked Men Lynch the As
saulter of an Eight
Year-Old Girl
THE FlEND ADMITTED HIS GUILT.
Professor Sims, the A. p. A. Lee
turer, Arrested at APP
pleton, Wis.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. THE
small village of Even, east of this city,
on the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic
railroad, is all excitement over the
lynching Of rape fend. The name of
the villain is Andrew Pikkarien. He is
Russian Finn, and lived few miles
from Even at little place called
Bruce's Crossing. The story which
comes from Even is as follows: Mon
day night Peter Hatelli and wife left
their home to be gone for day. They
left their little 8-year-old daughter at
home in the care of Pikkarien. Her
temporary guardian put the little girl to
bed early, but at about ~ o'clock the
wretch took the sleeping child from her
bed, and, carrying her to his own room,
accomplished his fiendish purpose. Two
other men witnessed the assault, but
they claim they were afraid of
The Powerful Brute.
The tiend was arrested as soon as the
terrible crime he had committed was
foundso1t and taken to Even, where he
was placed in the village Jail, when he
admitted having committed the deed
The child is frightful1y injured and is
suffering intense pain. She is expected
to die.
A later dispatch from Even says that
as soon as it became known that Pikkar
len admitted his guilt so indignant citi-
zens wearing masks surrounded the frail
structure in which he was placed to
lynch him. The officers protested, but
to no avail The Jail doors were broken
in and the culprit dragged out forth
with. A rope was placed around his
neck and he was dragged 80 rods to a
railroad trestle, where he was hanged.
The village is still wild over the outrage,
and should the citizens find the guilty
mans associates they would end the day
with triple lynching.

Senate Postponed for
q Day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Hawaiian
debate was concluded in the house dur
ing the day, but the entire resolution
was not passed because of the failure of
the Democrats to secure quorum when
. vote was taken upon it. Much less
opposition from the Democratic side de-
veloped than was at one time antici-
pated. Only one speech, that of General
Sickles of New York, was made in op-
position to the adoption of the resolu-
ton, although there was some passive
opposition on the Democratic side, as
indicated by the refusal of several Dem
Ocrats

Mr.. Reed to recommit the resolution
were in turn voted down. When the
vote came to be taken upon the main
question, however. the adoption of the
entire resolution. the Republicans re-
trained from voting, and the Democrats
lacked II of a quorum. Mr.. Cummings

Sickles against the McCreary resolution.

with the Republicans. Mr.. Broderick

declined to follow the leader of his party

against the resolution. When the Dem
