drowned tonight in the Delaware river, at
the foot of Chestnut street, by two men,
who are under arrest for the crime. Ofhcer

members OF the committee themselves, and
had been waiting in the .ante-room for
some time when summoned before the COM
mittee. These consisted of LieutenantS
Young and Moore and Paymaster Hobbs.
of the navy, all of whom We're officers on
board the Boston, from which the Amer
ican troops were landed at Honolulu the
18th day Of January last. Lieutenant Lucien
Young was the principal witness examined,
and like others before him was pledged to
secrecy. 1t Is understood, however. that
during the two hours Lieutenant Young
was under examination the committee
the naval officers and the landing and posi-
ton of the troops which were landed.
Lieutenant Young was in charge of the
landing and was able to give in detail the
movement of the troops and the manner
in which they were handled by the au-
thorities. The course of the examination in
dicated that the committee was desirous
of doing full justice TO the late Captain
Wiltse, who commanded the Boston, and
not leave an implied insnuation against
him IL he did but obey his orders and per-
form his duty. Very little, except the details
regarding the landing, was brought out.
Lieutenant Moore, executive officer and hy-
drographer of the Boston, followed Lieut..
Young. and confirmed much that the latter
had said as TO the events connected with the
revolution and subsequent occurrence of
the hauling down of the American flag.
Lieutenant Moore was examined concerning
the harbor at Honolulu, with which he Is
familiar, having made SoundingS OF IL and
a very excellent chart of the harbor and
the adjacent land. Both lieutenants are un-
derStood to have sustained Captain WiltSe
in all essential particulars concerning Ha-
waiian affairs in which the Boston and it,
officers and men took part They argued
that there had been no conspiracy within
their knowledge, and called attention 10 the
fact that the vessel was absent on a cruise
to windward for ten days previous TO the
call on the captain for the landing of the
troops. The committee adjourned at 3:20
o'clock until tomorrow.
During the session of the committee Mr..
Blount sent in his card to Senator Morgan
and was promptly admitted. After remains
ing in the room for about ten minutes he
came out and with Senator Gray went TO
the latter's c. mmittee room, where the two
spent a few minutes in conversation. Mr..
Blount said after he had been before the
committee that Friday at 10 o'clock had
been set for him to appear.

CHARLES COGHLAN'S WIVES.
Queer Arrangement That Seems to Ex-
ist Between the Two Women.

NEW YORK, Jan. a-Peace again reigns
supreme in the Coghlan family. Just how
many wives-that is, whether it is one or
two-Charles Coghlan has, the law has not
determined Certainly two women bear his
name and refer to him as husband" and,
what is more, the entire outfit seems TO
have resolved itself into a mutual admira-
tion society.
Mrs. Charles Coghlan No. 1 and Miss
Gertrude Coghan are nightly visitors at
the Fifth-avenue Theater, and the audience
never fails to note the smiles that are
passed back and forth between them and
the man whom they have but ceased de-
claring has grievously wronged them
One night last week Mrs. Coghlan No. 2
(nee Miss Beveridge) sat through one act
with the other two women and when she
left them she carried a large bunch of
roses that Mrs. Coghlan No. l had brought
to the theater. Some arrangement has evil
IDENTIFY been made. but nobody seems to
know what 1t is, and the persons involved
are as silent they were once garrulous.
There is another interesting complication
in the Coghlan company. The theatrical
public has been wondering how Aubrey
BOucicault and Mrs. Louise ThorndylIe Bou-
cicault. his late fathers second wife, have
been, getting along together the problem
stepmother had never spoken before they
met in this company. They had met as
strangers" Tney would probably have con-
tinued to meet as such had it not been for
Mrs. Roucicault. When young Aubrey
made his first appearance with this organ
ization, Louise Thorndyke came up to him
and said:
This is a very embarrassing position for
me, Mr. Boucicault. / did not expect it.
but here we are. and it can't be helped
We had better speak to each other and
avoid exciting comment. Don't you think
this would be advisable"
Mr.. Boucicault agreed with her, and the
two now say, Good morning." and Good
evening" and smile affably

DODGE CITY, Kan, Jan. 9-Joseph
Walker, a boy of sixteen, is i'm jail in this

a farmer named William Kimbrel. his wife

wife's sister were retiring, all in the same

LONDON, Jan. 9-The Times, comment
ing on the advices from Hawaii which
reached Victoria, b. c., last night, says:
Notwithstanding illusions Of President
Dole to the right of Hawaii as a SOW
ereign state. it is indeed probable that he
and his associates place their chief hopes
in the exigencies of American politics.
rather than In the wishes of the popula-
ton of Hawaii That the provisional gov
ernment is we'll advised in assuming an at
titude of defiance toward the President of
the United States may indeed be doubt
ed, Although it has been rumored that he
VIII accept compromise, Mr.. Cleveland
has shown that he has stiff back, and he
thinks that his countrymen admire ii, and
IL Is quite probable that in the long, run
he may show himself as resolute and de-
termined in his Hawaiian policy as he was
on the silver question. If the report that
S'; senator Iurpie,s i resolution represents the
out to be we'll founded it will be an inter-
esting and Instructive exercise, even to
those best versed in American politics, to
observe by what conceivable sophistry Mr.
Cleveland will try to reconcile his recogni-
ton in January of the government he at
tempted to depOSe in December We are in
clined to dscredit the rurlur IF ANYTHING
could make such a retreat harder than his
own emphatic assurances that the pro-
NlSlOudl Is uOlflS, III VIII De the
circumstance that the members of that
government openly defied him.
After a long consideration of Commits
sioner BlountS report ard President Cleve-
lands message, the Times article proceeds:
1T is indeed difficult to lend credit to the
statement that the United States means
to recognize the provisional government, yet
1t must be owned that the conduct OF the
eX-Queen herself has been SO impudent as
portunty of withdrawing the offers he
had made to her. American politicians
may argue that in face Of her dilatoriness
the Presidents offer no longer holds good.
Technically tnat may be true, but will such
pettifogging commend itself to the judg-
ment of Americans? The moral grounds on
which the offer was based cannot have
vanished altogether, even in the stress of
American politics, in less than month"

THE SANER MURDERS.
Some Believed the Boy Murdered His
Parents and Then Killed Himself.

MARIETTA, o., Jan. 9.-The triple MUIR
der of the Saner family, last night deep
ems in mystery. The son, supposed to he
missing was found in the ashes OF the
barn and fully identified by his watch and
other articles, though burned beyond recog-
milton. The father ana mother reveal fear
full mutilation by bullets and bruises. The
evidence shows a fearful struggle The
barn is about four hundred feet away and
there are some blood stains between the
house and barn as If from bleeding wounds
There is a growing suspicion that the son
killed his father and mother, rushed to the
barn, setting il On fire and killing himself
pistol was found near MIN empty The
family were well off and intelligent and
considered happy, but the son was an in
veterate reader of yellow-backed litera ture.
In the absence of a better clew the belief is
that he may have committed the deed.

Cougregationalists Speak.

The following resolution was adopted
at the annual autumnal meeting of the
Rhode Island Congregational conference
yesterday:
"Whereas, II is credibly reported that
at the recent Rhode Island State Fair bet
ting and gambling were under the pro-
lection of the laws of this State and
openly practiced.
"And, Whereas under the same laws at
the meeting of the Narragansett Racing
Association there seems 10 be no doubt
that fragrant forms of gambling are
still being practiced, demoralizing
our own people and drawing to the
city numbers of dissolute persons from
elsewhere we, the members, representa-
tives OF the Congregational Churches in
Rhode Island, in conference assembled,
do protest against the violence thus done
to the moral sentiment OF the community,
We recognize the efforts that have
been made TO suppress certain forms Of
gambling, but we respectfully request
that at the earliest opportunity such leg
islative measures be taken as will do away
with the immunity which any class OF
gambling whatsoever may enjoy"

Repeal the Law.
pawtuxet Valley Cleaner.

The 45- days running meeting with its
attendant legalized gambling was opened
at Narragansett Park on Tuesday of this
week, and Rhode Island thereby be-
comes, much to the disgust OF its
better citizens, the Mecca OF all the
gambling blacklegs of the country.
For the next six weeks our little State
will be sle gambling centre of New Eng
land, and it is more humiliating to know
that it was made SO by the men who were
sent to the General Assembly for the pur-
pose OF making laws TO advance the in
terests of the State morally and socially
as well as financially. Well may the peo-
pie ask il our legislators were asleep
when they allowed themselves to be
hoodwinked into letting in this unclean
thing which is driven out of other States
with the same vigor that would attend
the treatment of aplague.
The development of horse flesh as re-
CARDS speed and consequent usefulness
has little or no place in the minds OF the
prom 1ters of this sport; it Is done merely
to foster and satisfy desire for gambling,
aud to this end they will run horses
through mud aud slush, rain or snow to
an extent that amounts 10 cruelty to ami
mails.
Few OF our readers are aware Of the
amount of business done at these places.
Indirectly we learn from q member OF the
fraternity that il is expected that at the
present meeting 30 gam blers will eac n pay
s100 day for the privilege of plying their
vocation. Add to this an estimated ex-
pense of $50 to each one for helpers, &c,
aud it will be seen that they must take
in at least 500 to make a living profit.
These are considered low figures, and yet
they amount to the sum of $4,000.
The town council of Cranston at its
meeting last Monday very properly
passed a resolution instructing the police
officers of the town to close all gambling
schemes at Narragansett Park or else
where in the town, except such as are
legalized by the State. The council should

Meeting Of Third National Bank
Stockholders This Noon.

A meeting OF tho stockholders OF the
Third National Bank was held in the
banking rooms of The company today at
II M. A large amount OF the stock was rep
resented because ofthe Importance OF the
question to be considered, namely that OF
reducing the capital stock. The result
was, as anticipated by THE NEWS in its
announcement on Monday, and the vote
was unanimous TO reduce the capital
stock from S50O, 900 20 $500, 900.
Ii IL understood by the stockholders
that this large reduction Of the capital
will enable the bank to charge off
not only its doubtful assets but all of
