MURDER OR SUICIDE?
Two Persons Mysteriously Killed

Two Persons Niysteriously Killed
at NIiddletown, N. Y.
MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Oct. IA mys-
terious murder and suicide or double
murder occurred in this city this morn
ing. John Tierney was found with a
bullet hole in his right temple. His
wife was lying near him with bullet
hole in her left breast, while pistol lay
few feet away. The affair occurred in
cafe owned and conducted by Mrs.
Tierney. An aged uncle, Robert Flynn,
awoke at $3.50 this morning and went
down stairs to the kitchen in the base
ment aud built fire. While thus en-
gagged he heard report, which did not
seem to him.. he said, like that of
pistol, and the fall of body. A mo-
ment later it was followed by. an
other report. Shortly afterwards Mrs.
Tierney's son Thomas. who was
SAID to have been asleep on a
sofa in the kitchen, went up and
found two dead bodies. His mother lay
in the back parlOr and his step-father
lay in the center of the parlor. He ran
to his mother and found the body still
warm. Tierney was gasping and froth-
ing from the mouth. What at first ap-
peared to be murder and suicide now
looks to the authorities like double
murder. Tierney married Mrs. Nc
Guire, widow with one sou, Thomas,
five weeks ago. Thomas was very
angry at the marriage. and left the house
for two weeks. About the time of the
marriage he took a 44-caliber British
bulldog revolver and threw it behind
trunk in a closet in his bedroom, He
claims that no one knew it was there
but himself. Young Tierney gives it as
his opinion that his mother was mur.
dered by her husband. who, he asserts,
committed suicide. Mrs. Tierney
owned cafe, which previous to her
marriage it was believed would go to
Thomas when she died. This was not
likely after she married Tierney.

NO, that date does not suit for sew

are others to be considered besides Mr..
Corbett. What about the club? Thew
must nave soue protection. Not one
OF them could or would afford to put uo
purse OF $4,000, except at such a time
as they see way in which to make it
back again. The purse has already
been offered, but July would be
very late date for New Or
leans, and the club could not
give such an amount, as they would not
be able to get it in at the gate. 1t is for
them 10 set the date, and not Mr.. Cor
bett, and he must make his arrange
ments accordingly. Just what he may
do In this matter. l cannot say. but I
will not agree to any such indefinite

New YORK, Oct. 7.-HubertF F. Allen,
a finaneier of Brighton, England, the
manager of the Land and Property In
vestment Syndicate of America, with
offices at Nos. 155 and 157 Cannon street,
London, was arrested yesterday morn
ing by central office detectives and ar
raigned this morning in the Tombs po-,
lice court. The arrest was made on
telegram from Chief of Police Frederick
johnson, of Des Moines, To-, charging
Allen with obtaining s1.5o0 from DR.. B.
Lyons. of Des Moines, on false
pretenses. The company of which
the defendant is the manager was
organized for the purpose OF interesting
English capitalists III American farm
loans. Allen, who came here from
Omaha about two weeks ago, was about
to sail for England yesterday OH the
Lucania. He was arrested in his room
at the Fifth Avenue hotel. He admitted
his identity and said there must be some
mistake. He characteriZes his arrest as
malicious, and. if anything, an attempt
to settle civil matter by criminal pro-
ceedings. The amount he is charged
with stealing was. he alleges, given to
him for preliminary expenses. No
claim had been made on him by Lyons,
and his arrest was the first intimation
he had of the latter's dissatisfaction.
He will have a further examination to-
morrow morning.

ST. LOUIS. No., Oct. 7.-Over 10000
people were at Forest park today to see
the exhibition sculling match between
Miss Tillie Ashley, of Hartford. Conn.,,
and Miss Mosentheim, of st. Louis. The
race was on the park lake over
straightaway course, exactly a quarter
of mile in length. After sume trouble
the scullers got away in excellent shape.
Miss Ashley. who wore black silk
shirt and trunks, had the inner course,
while the st. Louis girl chose the outer.
She was dressed in pink and purple.
What was expected to result in pretty
contest was marred within $50 yards
after the flag fell. While the course was
a perfect straightaway, owing to the
curves in the bank of the lake, it was
rather confusing to the rowers. As
consequence Miss Ashley was soon OUT
of the line, and before she had time TO
discover her error, was almost upon the
eastern bank. She tried TO pull out into
position again, but had lost too much
time and ground, and Miss Mosen-
theim rowed across the deciding
line an easy winner in 1:43.
Next Sunday the two female scullers
will race on the Mississippi for the
female championship of the United
States over a course of mile and q half
in length.

MONEY VERY QUIET.
London Spectators Figuring on
Big Loans.

Big Loans.
LONDON, Oct. 7.-During the past
week the money market Ielapsed into
lethargy. The only probability of i'm
provement lies in the issue of foreign
loans. The prospectus of a new Rouma-
nian loan of e5,000,0O0 has been issued.
Besides the Chinese and Japanese
loans. Austria and Spain are likely to
issue loans. If they are issued the
money rates in London will be raised.
The canard relative to an Anglo-French
dispute had serious effect upon the
market here. Many weak spectators
were shaken out, but wary operators,
knowing the source Of the scare,
took advantage of it to reap
good harvest. The Paris
and other European bourses were
less affected than London. Continental
operators, knowing that the rumors
were unfounded, bought freely in Lon
don. The position of the market was
strengthened by the eli minaton of
weak operators, but much nervousness
remains on account of Chinese-Japanese
war, the illness of the cZar, and the po-
litical situation generally. The closing
price; on the week were trifle lower.
American railway securities at the
close were better, the tone of the Ameri-
can market having been less affected
showed a fractional loss on the week.
Louisville & Nashville was down 2, and
Central Pacific, Erie seconds. Missouri
Pacific and Norfolk q Western were
each down l. Canadian PaclficS were
firmer.

this adds to the volume of water, as it
