The Citizens Committee Is In Need
of Funds.

Subscriptions are coming in very slowly
for the relief of the unemployed, and the
citizens committee feels that unless the
movement is more literally supported by
the people at large the good work being
done al :he park viii reacbsa speedy ter
miDauon and the thousands Of willing
toilers who are only too glad to work for
81 day in order TO keep the wolf from
The door viii be forced TO walk the streets
and beg from door 20 door This con-
clusion Is fOreseen by those who had the
matter in tand from the start, and unless
The united action of those whose duty il
should be to support the movement sub
scribe more Ii berally for its maintenance
the end Will soon be at hand.
II is the desire of the committee 10 keen
up the work al the park until the latter
part Of March. as by that time the demand
for labor in the country will so greatly
improve as TO relieve the present pressure
here for subsistence.
The committee has been compelled 10
cut down the force al the park each day
Tor the past two weeks and although the
preference is given TO married men, even
they have been dropped oft the roll to
make room for others.
Yesterday morning fully GOO men waited
IN line on LeoesdOrff street for work
tickets, OF which number only 500 sue
cee0eo IN securing the much-desired
coupon. Last evening over 100 Of those
ioh2est outstanding were let If.
Each OF the new applicant was equipped
with letters Of recommendation from resi-
dents OF San francisco, and uptn n careful
examination Registrar DanIeis discovered
that many OF them were issued by citizens
who have not contributed as much as 5
cents to the relief fund. This the COM
mittee considers small business.
Thus far The street railroads have re-
IDained unmoved so far as financial rs
sistaDce is concerned, although their gains
from the park labOrerS5w ho patron Ze the
lines TO and fTo amount to q neat sum in
itself. In many of the large Eastern
cities the railways not Ouiy contribute to
the relief fund, but carry the laborers TO
aud from their work for nothing. Is San
Francisco to lag behind in this res pect?
Additional subscriptions have been paid
in to Daniel Meyer, treasurer. as follows:
Jersey Farm COMPANY $50, d. Samuels

MURDERER LAKE CAPTURED.
The Slayer of Pretty Emma Hunt Admits
His Crime.


ROCHESTER, n. Y, Oct. 22.-The most
awful crime in the history of Orleans
county, If not i'm the history of the entire
state-the murderand mutilation ofpretty
Emma Louise Hunt, a domestic employed
on the farm of Charles Van Camp, near
Albion-which was committed on last
Thursday night, was the work of the farm
hand William Lake, as suspected from the
first.
On Saturday a confession written by
Lake was found in his room in the Van
Camp house. In the paper Lake intimates
that all his troubles had their origin in the
fact that he was of illegitimate birth. He
professed ignorance of the identity Of his
parents "If they are living" he said
Course them"
He says in effect that Emma Hunt had
encouraged his attentions and led him to
believe that she loved him. He had dis
covered however, according to this state
ment, that she had been untrue, and there
fore he had determined to kill her and
then end his own life. Lake gave explicit
directions for the settlement Of his affairs
and for the disposition of his body. He
also returned affectionate thanks to the
woman who had brought him up as
though he had been her own child.
The autopsy iustifes the theory that
murder was committed to crafty lust and
that the mutilation of the body was TO
conceal the first crime.

the elegant house of their father, Rev.
Ross Taylor, in South Nyack yesterday.

| ceeded in grouping their way through suf-
| locating smoke to the open air, without
| having been able to extend helping hand
! to their six children or others of the house,
| hold.
People on the streets had seen the fire
and as Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor emerged from
the burning building the fire department
arrived The energies of all were directed
| toward the rescue of those who still re-
mained in the doomed structure. The two
eldest of the Taylor children, Stewart and
William, were aroused in time, and, jump
ing from the window of their chamber,
were caught without serious injury, Four
others of the children perished. Their
names are: Harriet, aged II years; Ada,
| aged 81 Arthur, aged q; Schultz, aged 3.
Their charred bodies were recovered
three hours later and removed to an un-
dertalxing establishment,
Besides the Taylor family there were in
the house Michael Mullady q laborer, and
| two house decorators named Edward
Linta and William Ruth. All three had
been sleeping in the third story. When
aroused escape by the stairway was cut
off, and they jumped for their lives. Null
lady was so badly hurt that he can
scarcely recover. Ruth and Linta sus-
tained serious injuries, but they will prob
| ably recover.
The house which was burned had only
recently been built, and the interior deco
