KILLED HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Carr Called to Answer for the
Crime.

DENVER. Feb. 6.-Mrs. Carr. wife Of
Harry l.. Carr, the attorney who was muir
dered at his home on Sunday night by
surprised burglars, was arrested this after
noon charged with completely in the crime.
Bessie Sherwood, Jim Tracy. gambler,
and Ted D0lsoD, friends OF Mrs. Carr,
were also taken into custody. The theory
upon hich the arrests were made is that
these people entered into a conspiracy to
make away with Carr for the PURPOSE of
securing possession of his life insurance,
said to amount to $4,000
Mrs. Carr stoutly maintains that her
husband was killed by burglars. Carr
was one of the most prominent lawyers in
this city, but his life has been very rapid
and checkered. He came here from Balti-
more several years ago, where he left a
wife and two children. He obtained a
divorce here, and his second wife COM
mitted suicide il this city a year and
half ago on account of domestic troubles.
Six months later he met Miss Jennie Black,
who had recently arrived from Buffalo.
n. Y, in a Market-slreet bagniO. and be-
coming infatuated married her on January
8, 1898. Since her marriage it is well
known that Mrs. Carr has been leading a
dual life, making the rooms Of her friend,
Miss Sherwood, a rendezvous. where she
met Tracy and Dolson.

THREE ARRESTS MADE.
Mrs. Meagher's Sister and a Nephew
i'm CUSTODY.

PETALUMA, Feb. 6-Snce the sensa.
tional verdict rendered by the Coroner 8
jury in the Meagher case yesterday the
citizens have been ever on the alert for
new developments, and until late last
night prominent people gathered in knots
on corners and in public places and dis
cussed the subject. which is of so much
interest TO the entire population.
The movements of the officers were con-
tinually watched and there were many
rumors In circulation.
This state of affairs prevailed to-day.
At $50 o'clock this afternoon the City
Marshal and Constable proceeded TO the
Cregan ranch, near the scene of the
Meagher murder, where Mrs. Bryan and
her son John were placed under arrest.
They then drove back to town, stopping
on the way at the residence of Mrs.
Fowler, who was also arrested, and it is
rumored more arrests are to follow. The
officers drove to the City Hall and awaited
the District Attorney, who arrived from
Santa Rosa, and after lengthy debate
among the officials the prisoners were
taken by train to the Santa Rosa Jail.
There will be preliminary hearing of the
prisoners here Thursday.

A GOOD REPORT,
That of the Protestant Orphan Asy-


lum.
The forJy-third annual meeting OF the San
Francisco Protestant Orphan Asylum, which
took place yesterday afternoon, showed the
affairs Of the institution to be In a lourlshng
condition.
al think we all regret" said the president
Mrs. William Alv0rd, in the course of an ad-
dress 10 the board, "that we cannot have the
public more with us at these annual meetings.
Many people find 1t difficult to understand how
we can feed and clothe the children on what
we spend; 1ndeed, they find 1t impossible 10 re-
aliZe how we can do so much on so little. The
fact is that The committees who execute the
work find 1t labor of love and 90 1t all person
ally. The greatest care Is exercised by these
ladies in making purchases; in fact they do the
shopping for the Institution as II for their own
homes"
The report of the assistant secretary. Miss
Ella l.. Adams, showed that the year closed
with 210 child en- 10 the orphanage, 120 boys
and 80 girls. During the year, however. 2S3
orphans had been cared for during longer or
shorter period. The report dwelt emphatic
ally upon the tact that ain many ms ances
children have been with us but few days or
weeks, and we feel that these are our worthest
cases. The father or mother sickens and dies,
and the money which was adequate TO the fam
ily's needs in time OF health falls far short of
paying the unusual expenses of Illness, death
or burial. The father or mother, as the case may
be, tud themselves heavily Ia debt and must
work 10 earn The daily bread of the household.
Under these circumstances they turn 10 the
asylum which has saved so many Dereaved par
ents from despair. Frequently, with stime to
look about them, aud freed from painful anx.
lefty as to the Immediate care Of their children.
they are able 10 plan some way by which they
can have their little family with them again,
and IL becomes the pleasantest task of The
board TO return the children TO the parent
again"
The report OF the treasurer Mrs. w. A.
Halght, showed that the total receipts from
all sources during the year were S36,174 %
aud the total disbursements $4,000 o5, leav-
Ing a balance In the treasury of S2OSO II. The
failure of the Stale to pay the State aid, due In
July. 1888, until January of this year had kept
The treasury in such depleted condition that
1t had been found necessary TO borrow from
the endowment fund TO meet the monthly bills.
An election of officers resulted in the return
OF the entire board Of management for 1898.
The ladies elected were: Mrs. William Alvord,
president; Mrs. G. V. GILLESPIE, first vIce-presi-
dent; Mrs G. o. Gerberding, second yce-presi-
dent: Mrs. Henry Haight treasurer; Mrs. F.

ALL TARIFFS ARE BAD.
Governor Waite Is a Believer Only
in the Income Tax.

DENVER, Feb. 6.-GovernOr Waite de-
livered a free-trade speech before the
wool-growers' convention this morning.
He declared that all tariff laws were
vicious. but if the country could not exist
without law of this kind. all articles
should be taxed alike. He declared that
the only feature of the Wilson bill worthy
of consideration was the income tax clause.
which he feared would be killed before the
bill became law. At the conclusion Of
the Governors remarks a resolution was
adopted denouncing the theory of free
trade as unjust. as under such law over
100000 wool-growers of the country
would be ruined, while only 1000 wooden
manufacturers could be benefited. Free
wool would not cheaper clothing, but
would deprive American laborers of an
opportunity to earn their daily bread.

RIGHTS OF LABORERS.
Questions Arising From the
Union Pacific Trouble.
The Receivers Said to Have Been
Appointed for the Purpose of
Cutting Wages.

CHEYENNE, Nyo., Feb. 6.-Van Ardel
and Estee, attorneys for the employees OF
the Union Pacific, will present petition
of over 100 typewriter pages TO Judges
RiDer and Hallett. in Denver. tomorrow.
The petition first attacks the right of
Judge Dundy TO issue schedule while
contract is in existence with the Union
Pacific employees, having three years yet
to run, which states that the schedule
could not be changed except upon thirty
days notice. The petition states that at
various times prior to the time of the
passage Of the road into the hands Of re-
eeivers, the Union Pacific management
attempted 10 cut the salaries of the men,
without success. and the men now believe
that the receivers were appointed for the
express purpose Of cutting salaries. The
petition attacks the right of Judge Dundy
to issue an order to restrain the men from
meeting to discuss whether they shall
strike or not. The order is declared to be
an invasion Of the constitutional rights of
the men, the enforcement of which would
virtually make the work of years in per-
fectiDg their organization worthless.
OMAHA, Feb. 6-ln view of the letter
from Judge Dundas saying that his order
IN Tie union I6ctINcIS lp cases
not prevent the men from striking, the
question has been seriously raised as to
whether he had read the order. 1t differed
materially from the letter. and in order to
make sure, series of questions, framed
so as to cover the conditions of premedi-
tated and prearranged strike, were SUBJ
mitted to him, and he replied that such
acts would not be violation of his order.
The only restraint put on employees. he
said, was that they were held back from
injuripg the property of the receivers. He
reiterated that the order to reduce the
salaries of Union Pacific men did not
mean that they should not hold meetings
or strike.
DENVER, Feb. 6.-The telegraph opera
tors employed along the line of the Union
Pacific are preparing to take up the ques-
tion of reduction Of wages If the United
States courts at Omaha and Denver grant
the petition OF the receivers Of the road
for reduction of salaries. A prominent
official of the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers said to-day that the organization
had yet taken no active steps in the III after
and was simply waiting for the decision of
The courts. If the road is sustained he
believes that all the men on the western
division will 60 out within twenty-four
hours.
