THE YVES T HARTFORD mURDKR


 An Important Clue Obtatned-Arrests
 Speedily Expected-Sherifs in Pur-
 suit-Governor Morris Requested to
 Issue Notice of . Reward of $2,OOO.
 HARTFORD, March 12-The careful in- vestigation made yesterday and to-day by the authorities into the murder of Robert N. Peck of West Hartford Saturday night has resulted in developing an important clue. It Is considered certain by many that the two young men, strangers to the conductor, who rode out on the car with Peck, are the murderers. A more definite and tolsrably accurate description of the men has been obtained and the arrest is expected within few hours. They are residents of this city and left here some time during the day yesterday. They have been traced north above Windsor Locks and Deputy Sheriffs Holcomb and McCarty left for Springfield and Northampton on the 1:80 p. m. train to continue the search. Other evidence has been found which the authorities refuse to divulge, all of which tends to connect the two men with the hor- rible deed, and the police and county off cers are confident they have the correct CLUB. 1ne lOcdl pOllce 0nu county autnOr- ities for miles around Hartford have been notified and it seems hardly possible that the young men wanted can escape arrest. They are we'll known in this city. State Attorney Arthur F. Eg9leston this morn- ing wrote to Governor Morris suggesting that the state offer e reward of not less than $2,000 for the apprehension of the murderers.
 An important clue is that near Peck's body was found the face part ot a cuff button about seven-sighths of sn inch square made of mother-of-pesrl. This be- longs to one of the murderers. Mrs. G. Frank Barber of West Hartford, the mnr- dered mans sister, has apparently some strong suspicious as to who were the mur- dsrers, but refuses to talk on the subject. Peck had 450 in his pocket when be left home on Saturday morning and is not known to have spent much of 1t before night. The murderers took everything of value from his person except 8 razor and 8 linen handkerchief.
 Peck will be buried from his fathers home at West Hartford at 11:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The bullet taken from his head was weighed this morning. It Is .38 calibre and weighs 14sa grains. It was split e-hslf in two ard hattened down when 1t struck the skull.

Common Pleas Court-Civil Side-
 Judge Hotchkiss.
 In this court yesterday the contest of Mrs. Nellie 0. Buckley to obtain posses sion of her baby boy. Tommy, was re- sumed. The case was begun last Tuesday, wien Judge Hotohklss directed the father, an Ansonia letter carrier, to deliver the boy to his mother, and then continued the hearing on writ of hsbeas corpus sworn out by Mrs. Buckley.
 When the proceedings opened yesterday Attorney Williams filed a p!ea in abate- menr on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter, and that the superior and probate courts were the only ones which had any right to decide which parent should have the custody of the child. This plea was opposed by Senator Holden. who is counsel for Mrs. Buckley. The court then took . recess until o'clock, at which time Judge Hotohkiss overruled the plea.
 A number of witnesses were then sworn and the entire afternoon taken up with their testimony. Among the witnesses were Mrs. Buckley, John Floyd, J. Am prose Buckley, Mrs. Margaret Floyd, Mrs. Resale Taylor, Miss Rose Pinefell and Pa trolmen Andrews and Tierney of Ansonia. At the conclusion of their testimony the case was continued until Friday.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
Given Five Yenrs.

The famous murder trial of I. B. Cummings, alias L. E. Morris, came to an end the other night in the Pulaski circuit court. The defendant was found guilty of murder in the second degree and given five years in the peniten- tiary. On the first three ballots the jury stood to for murder in the first degree, with the death penalty The prisoner is a one-legged man about 40 years of age.
 THE CRIME.
 Shortly after midnight of February IS last he fatally stabbed r. NJ Potter, in Little Rock. Morris was immedi- ately arrested by the police, and in- dicted for murder in the first degree by the grand jury March i3 last His case was set twice, and as many times postponed.
 The murder of Potter was considered a eoldbooded one, and was associated at the time with the killing of a rafts- man, W. Spearman, of Perryville, who was struck by lightning while rafting logs down the Arkansas river. Potter. the murdered man. came to the rescue of the terrified son and crew of the de- eeased-Spea.rmglanr and assisted them in taking the raft and body to Little Rock Potter registered at Tricks German hotel, at the foot of Rock street. for the night.
 ABOUT THE WAR.
 He and Morris got into a dispute about the war, Potter being an ex-fed- eral soldier and Morris espousing the side of the south. According to the story of the bafkeeper, Oscar Muller. and the porter, Peter Eemmer, the only eye-witnesscs, Morris gave Potter the lie, at which the latter pushed him down. Lemmer and Muller came to the rescue and lifted Morris up, when the men became friends again. Sud denly, at about 2 in the morning. and about twenty minutes after the diff culty above referred to, while both were standing at the bar, Morris stabbed Potter in the neck with q pocket-knife, severing the internal jugular vein, the latter bleeding to death in few min utes. before medical assistance could arrive.

It was not long until number of attachments were issued by justice and the property seized by constables. Not quite a year ago Kranz married the widow of the late Julius Richter, of Little Rock, the ceremony taking place in Chicago. When they returned to Lit tie Rock Kranz took charge of Rich ter's saloon and converted it into quite q swell place, spending considerable money for fixtures. He was elected captain of the Eagle Light battery, but it is said that there was so much dissa tisfaction that he resigned.

POWER FOR OMAHA.

Million Dollar Subsidy to be Voted to
 Secure It for the Purpose of Develop.
 ing Misunderstanding Enterprises - Much
 Capital fnterested-The Enterprise VIII
 Involue on Outlay of Upwards of Tour
 Millions of Dollars.
 OMAHA, Neb., Oct. t.-The county commissioners of Douglas county, in which Omaha is situated, have decided to submit to the people proposition to vote S1, ,000, GOO subsidy to a company for the construction of a canal to bring water power to the city of Omaha. The enterprise has been under discus sion for more than year, and many thousands of dollars have been ex pended in investigations and prelimi- nary surveys.
 The design of the enterprise is to ere ate great water power just outside the city limits to be brought into the city in the shape of electrical energy and sold at uniform price to all factories. The rates at which this water power is to be sold have been agreed upon by the company and eoun- ty commissioners and they will be on an average cheaper than the charge for water power in Minneapolis and other water-power centers.
 The water is to be procured from the Platte river, some forty miles from Omaha, and from the Elkhorn river some twenty miles from Omaha, and will be carried through canal to q point near the city limits where fall amounting to l35 feet will be secured. At this point there will be developed 4,ooo horse power. At this point also an electrical plant will be established and the power developed will be brought into Omaha and distributed to various parts of the city to large and small consumers as electrical energy for op- erating motors. The people of Omaha are expected to vote these bonds by a large majority, as there is practically no opposition, and sl, GOO, 900 is consid- ersd a small amount to give for seeur- ing the advantages of such cheap power for manufacturing purposes. The whole enterprise will cost S4 ,000,- 000 and the company undertaking it is composed of the richest men in Ne- braska.

URBAN LIFE IN THE SOUTH.

The Rapid Rush of the People to the Cit

 Deems the Figures Aiarming-Actuai
 Loss in Agricultural Population.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-"The city population in the southern states has outgrown the total population in the ratio of to 1, while it has outstripped the country population fve-fold. This startling truth has been discovered by the statistician of the department of agriculture in analyzing the census figures. 1t is matter of general in- formation that town and city popula- tlon has been growing faster than the agricultural population, but who Is prepared for such a statement?
 There are g, AS, 164 people in the southern states by the last census, and 5,675.252 of them live in cities and towns. In 1860 these same states had 12.Sl5,S73 population, and only l, ,5o9, 292 in cities.
 The statistician includes Missouri in the southern states. In that state the total population is 2,679, ls4, and the cities and towns contain 1,l9l, ,612, only little less than one.half In 1860 four-fifths of the population of Missouri was agricultural
 The statistician believes these figures are enough to awaken anxious specu- lation among thoughtful men"
 The table which the statistician has compiled to show the comparative in- crease of urban and agricultural popu- lation in the south from ls60 to 1890 is as followss

"When slavery was abolished" he says, many southern men believed and predicted that the growth of cot. ton would fall into decay, and that the manufacturing world would have to look to other countries for the supply. But in less than a generation the cot ton product was about doubled. not withstanding the fact that hundreds of thousands of negroes deserted the fields for the towns, leaving not a great many more to plant and pick out cotton than were thus employed in slavery times.
 Where this tendency of the popula- ton is going to stop the statesman says he can not see. He has analysed the returns for Massachusetts and finds in that state seven times as many peo- pie live Tn towns as in the country Delaware he shows has a smaller agri- cultural population now than in 1860, although the total population has in- creased 90 per cent. Maryland's agri- cultural population now is smaller than it was ten years ago, although it's total population shows steady increase.
 No sooner was slavery abolished than the rush to the towns by whites and blacks began. Banks and bank CTS, and men who handle money and project enterprises of business, of whatever kind, live in towns; the best schools are in the towns; and the churches and places of amusement arc chiefly or wholly there. These condi- tions naturally draw the masses of the people. As population increases, land becomes too valuable to be owned by poor men; and whether as owners pr renters, poor men can not cultivate the earth, single handed, to advantage They still need money to fit out the farm
