MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. S.-The
mystery surrounding the Catherine
Cling murder is beginning to unfold.
Adry Hayward has confessed and his
story links together his brother Harry
and two miserable hirelings named
Blixt and Erickson in chain of un-
exampled and unspeakable villainy.
Adry Hayward fought to prevent the
commission of the crime. He has
technically guilty knowledge of it, but
will appear in much better light thar
his brother. The girl, it will be re-
membered, was murdered for the in
surance Harry Hayward had on her
life. She was decoyed on the lonely
road by Blixt, shot by Blixt and Erick-
son got the bloody clothes which ne
took to Iowa. The revolver was found
in the Ozark flats this morning. 1t was
3S-calibre and two chambers were
empty.

A NEW STYLE OF BoAT.-A little
steamer of 100 tons is at present being
constructed at Argenteuil according to
model, and it is claimed that it will
entirely revolutionize steamboat tray

Yin, consists in rolling the ship over in
the water, instead of forcing it through.

of enormous copper cylinders are fixed
to the vessel, passing tbrough the
decks, where they describe circle, the
speed attained depending upon speed
Of the metal cylinders, aud it is COM
puted that 81 knots an hour can be
easily made. The steering is done by
kind of hydraulic pump, and an ad-
vantage claimed is that no way is lost

vessel will be built without much loss
of time. The trial trip will be made
between Newhaven and nieppe.

Malone, abandoned the democratic
party, having realized the error of bis

THE NEGROES in the North have
requested Mr.. John Burns, the English
labor leader now visiting this country,
to use his influence with the labor
unions here to have the word white
stricken out of their charters, so that
the exclusion of negroes from
membership may be continued no
longer. Whether Mr.. Burns will grant
their request is not known. but if he
shall, it will be- just asinefiective as if ne
shall moi. Negroes, according to North
ern ideas, are good enough for equality
in the Southern, but not in the North
ern States, and, except on election days,
race antagonism is even more patent
in the North than in the South, espec-
tally among laborers.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Dec. S.-Archbishop
Ireland said yesterday that the ques-
ton Of whether Catholics could belong
to the Sons of Temperance, Odd Eel

Rome and that a decision may soon
be given, but that meanwhile Catholics
would do we'll not to seek member
ship in those societies. 1t was learned
from another source that no attempt
will be made to raise the ban from the
Masons, as the religious rites of that
order are known to be antagonistic to
the Catholic Church.

JUDGING FROM the charges brought
against Ex-Governor Tillman, the
South Carolina "reformer, reform" in
the Palmetto State is even greater
humbug and more corrupt than in New
York city, or anywhere else. The
charges referred to are that he has be-
come rich man by collision with the
men from whom he bought his States
supply of liquors, and with the railroads
that brought it there, by sharing in
State suits, and by profits from the re-
funding of the States debt. Modern ''re-
formers' require watching.

AS THE republicans have large ma
iority in the legislature of New Jersey
that was elected last month, of course
they will choose republican q. S.
Senator to succeed Mr.. Mcpherson, one
of the present democratic Senators
from that State, and as ex-senator
Sewell is less Objectionable than any
other prominent member of his party
in New Jersey, and has as much ability,
and certainly more experience, and be-
sides, has many personal friends in the
South, it is hoped the confident ex-
pectation of his election may be realiz'
ed. His previous term in the Senate
reflected credit upon himself and no
discredit upon his State, and as he has
also served his party we'll, that party
having now the power, should reward
him. He is q sQuarelrepublican, and,
like most other square men, has no use
for mugwumps.

ONE OF the most ridiculous objec-
tons urged against the collection of
the income tax, is the absurd one
that it will Cypress poor widows and
orphans who own bonds and stocks
in railroad companies, as those
companies will deduct that tax from
their dividends. Weasels will be caught
asleep when apoor widow and or

Mrs. HETTY GREEN'S EccENTRIcI-
TIEs.-Mrs. Hetty Green, who is said
to be the wealthiest woman in Ameri.
ca, and who occupied hall bedroom
in Brooklyn at one time for which she
paid seventy-fve cents week, left the
Hotel st. George, in New York, yester-
day, with her daughter because her
whereabouts had been made public.
Where she went the hotel clerks did
not know, but they were instructed to
forward her mail to her husband at the
Albemarl Hotel, in that city. The
husband of Mrs. Hetty Green spends
much of his time in the Union Club.
He is said to be a rheumatic sort of an
old gentleman with almost as many &c
centrieities as his wife. 1t is hard to find
out just how wealthy Mrs. Green is.
The usual estimate, which is con slider
ed moderate one, places her fortune
at $3O,OOO,00O. In spite of her
large possessions, Mrs. Green dresses
in the cheapest fashion, and lives most
of the time in obscure places or under
fictitious name. She was registered
at the St. George as Mrs. Gray. She is
one Of New Yorks few wealthy persons
who prefer to livein Brooklyn, and one
of the reasons alleged is that she wishes
to escape payment of taxes upon her
personal property. Whenever the
newspapers publish her address she
promptly gathers up her effects and
! iuds new quarters. She is about Wall
street every day, and those who pass
her would be more likely to mistake
her for lecturer on woman's rights
than the possessor of a fortune of thir-
ty millions of dollars. Her daughter
is rather an attractive woman ofabout
thirty, whose health or inclinations
perhaps prevent her appearance prom
inently in society.

HOUSE.
Less than 100 members we're in their
seats when Speaker Crisp called the
House to order at noon to-day.
Among the executive communications
laid before the House was one from the
Secretary of the Treasury transmitting
letter from the chief clerk of the
bureau of statistics requesting authority
to publish statistical abstract of the
business of foreign countries.
The bill reported last session by the
committee ON Interstate and foreign
commerce to provide retired list for
the revenue cutter service and thereby
promote its efficiency was taken up in
committee of the whole.
Mr.. Mallory advocating the passage
of the bill, stated that the officers in the
cutter service were appointed by the
President for life, and when incapaci-
tated by age or infrmity from discharg
ing their duties, there was no way
under the present law of providing for
them save by placing them on waiting
orders at three-quarters pay. AT pre-
sent 30 of the 220 officers in the service
were on waiting orders.
Mr.. Clark made a characteristic
speech against the bill giving much
amusement to the members and the
occupants of the galleries.
The bill to amend the interstate
commerce law so as to permit pooling
was then taken up and the discussion
resumed by Mr.. Geary in favor of it.

FAUoUIER HoRsEs.-The past week
was one of interest to raisers of
hunters in this immediate vicinity.
Mr.. Isham Keith, jr., sold to
Mr.. Edward VAIN and others,
Mr.. ]. K. Maddux's roam hunt
er, Safety, for four hundred dollars;
Mr.. John Gaines's Pelham, for five
hundred and fifty dollars; colt belong
ing to Mr.. S. B. Chiffon and several of
his own at private figures. These prices
should encourage the breeders of fine
horses but not set them wild. A good
hunter first of all must be well bred,
then well handled, then well sold.
The first two are easy enough, the last
requires an acquaintance, which is hard
to gain and expensive to maintain.
which pulls down the seemingly big
figures to a moderate profit and should
satisfy breeders to obtain a fair price
for unschooled colts with which many
risks are to be taken and many failures
met.-WdrrentoD Tirginiqn.

FATHER WALTERS MEMORIAL TAB.
LET.-A beautiful memorial tablet to
Father Walter was unveiled last night
at the st. Patrick's Church, Washing
ton, by Bishop Keane, of the Catholic
University, assisted by Fathers Gloyd,
Magee and Stafford. Yesterday was
the sixty-seventh anniversary of the
birth of Father Walter, who died last
spring. He was we'll known as the
confessor of Mrs. Surratt, and always
protested in her innocence. Bishop
Keane made an address on Father Wal
ter's life after unwilling the memorial.
The tablet is the centrepiece of a beau
tiful gothic design, in which statues
representing st. Vincent de Paul and
st. Ambrose, the patrons of the late
pastor, form prominent feature. Two
other statues, representing recording
angels, are also included in the design.
Gothic canopies and pinnacles rise over
the design and the statues. Rev.
Joseph F. Magee, assistant pastor of
the Church, had charge of getting up
the memorial.

THOSE WHO favor the election of U.

THOSE WHO favor the election OF U.
S. Senators by the direct vote OF the
people, instead of, as now, by State
legislators, upon the ground that 1t Is
easier to buy the votes of the few mem
bers of the legislatures than those OF
the people of whole States, doh''
understand human nature. Every
man has his price, but the
money that will buy a member
of the legislature, if put where it will
do the most good" in country of un-
restricted suffrage, and where the
voters sit on the fences all day waiting
for purchasers, as they do in the North,
according to Northern newspapers, will
buy several hundred voters. Better
let the election of Senators remain as it
is. Legislators may be, and doubtless
are bribed, but the fear of detection is
an effective deterrent to most of them.

delayed Chinese treaty has at last ar.
rived in Washington. Tt was delayed
because the Chinese government, wish
ing to adopt every precaution, had dis
patched the document to the United
States by way of Europe, instead of BY
the shorter Pacific route. Late yester-
day afternoon Secretary Gresham and
Mr.. Yang Yu, Chinese minister, ex-
changed the final ratifcations, and
nothing now remains to be done but to
promulgate the treaty, and it is expect
ed that the proclamation will follow in
day or two.
