IT is NOT SETTLED YET.
Trouble Still Brewing Among the
Western Trunk Lines.
If the Union Pacific Flies OF at a Tangent
Again Other Roads May Renew
the Old Warfare.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The recent reduction
of the grain rate between Chicago and the
Atlantic seaboard from 25 to 20 cents, has
not had the expected result of preventing
all decentralization, nor the lines needing
with any great care the positive INDUCTION
of Chairman Blanchard of the Central
Traffic Association, that thereafter the
grain rates must be rigidly maintained, +"
and it is likely within few days to bear
fruit in the shape of open cuts.
The affairs of the Western Trunk Line
committee continue to brighten, and it is
now believed that the worst of its troubles
are over A conference between the trans
continental lines, at which both the Rio
Grande Western and the Union Pacific
will be represented, will be held here
during the coming week, and it is the
general opinion that it will end in such
manner as to permit both roads to become
members of the committee.
With the Union Pacific on the inside 80
per cent of the difficulty of forming the
committee will be ended, the Missouri
Pacific will come in on the heels of the
Union Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, it is expected, will follow suit
at once. With these three lines and the
Rio Grande Western as members the COM
mittee viii be at once able to begin opera
tons.
This is, however, the rosy side of the
matter. If the Union Pacific flies off at
tangent again, as it has done so many times
already, the patience of some of the other
lines will hardly hold good against the
temptation to punish it for the trouble it

fire broke out in the United States Express
Department of the Union Depot.
The flames ate their way through the
floor into the Union Depot Hotel on the
floors above, and in an hour the structure
was mass of ruins.
The hotel, which occupied the two upper
stories and the south end of the structure,
was crowded with guests, and a number of
them had narrow escapes. Major J. B.
Mclaughlin, who conducted the hotel,
loses $25, 900.
The Union Depot was completed and
opened May /, 1882, and cost $780, 900. The
insurance is $4,000
The depot was used by all of the rail-
roads entering ST. Joseph. The guests at
the hotel lost $4,000. The total loss will
aggregate 100000.
The loss outside of the hotel, depot and
guests baggage is made up of the express

THEIR SKELETONS FOUND.

1t Looks as Though Members of the
Tucker Family We're Murdered.
ARDMoRE, I. t., Feb. 9.-News was
brought tonight from Bayou, twelve
miles southwest of here, of what appears
to be the murder of the family of NJ NJ.
Tucker, consisting of himself, wife and
three children. The skeletons of the vic
tins were found in the ruins of their
home, which had evidently been set afire
to cover up the crimes of robbery and
murder.
The murder, if murder it was, was COM
mitted Wednesday night, but was not dis
covered until this morning. 1t is laid at
the door of Dred Wilson, a son-in-law of
Tucker, who often threatened the dead
man. Wilson has disappeared. It was
known that Wilson made threats against
Tucker, the cause being that few months
since Tucker caused his arrest on charge
OF assault, his alleged victim being one of
the now dead girls. Wilson was dis
charged, the Government falling to make
out its case. On the termination of the
trial Tucker told friends he feared Wilson
would kill him..

STAINED WITH BLOOD.
Some Gruson,e Exhibits in the Hdy,cGrt
Trial.


Trial.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-The buggy in
which Kate Cling took the fateful ride and
the lap-robe, stained dark with her life's
blood, were on exhibition in the courtroom
when the Hayward trial opened this morn
ing. The curious crowd pressed forward to
get a nearer view of the gruesome SOU
venirs of the tragedy.
Emil Ferrant, who occupied rooms in
the Ozark flats, was the first witness. His
testimony was descriptive of the occur
rences in the fats after the news of Miss
Ging's violent death had been received and
of Harry Hayward's behavior at that time.
County Attorney Nye said that he had
expected to put Adry Hayward, the con-
Tossing brother, on the stand to-day, but
Adry was not present as yet. Mr.. Erwin
said that he should object to Adry testify
ing to-day, as he wanted to have insanity
experts present when the brother gives mis-
testimony. This statement is believed to
indicate not only purpose on the part of
the defense to claim that Adry has
hereditary insanity, but also possibly a
purpose on the part of Adry to give his
testimony in such manner as to lead TO
that conclusion.
Ex-Mayor William H. Eustis was then
called to the stand and testified to having
obtained from Harry Hayward, while the
latter was under police surveillance, some
letters, kilograms and statement from
Miss Cling to Harry relative to some busi-
ness relations between the two. Mr..
Erwin at once asked that he might cross
examine the witness to ascertain whether
these papers were obtained under duress,
and in spite of the States objection, was
permitted to do so by the court.
Mr.. Eustis said that with the police Off
cials he had subjected Hayward to an ex-
animation of some fourteen hours. Then
Harry was released, but the detectives
kept track of his whereabouts. The next
morning after his release Harry had come
into the Mayors Office voluntarily and
talked over the crime. He told of Miss
Ging's gambling inclinations and said he
had some letters and kilograms showing it.
The Mayor drove with him to his apart
ments, where Harry voluntarily over
thedocuments. These were then offered in
evidence. The kilograms were those pass
ing between Harry and Miss Cling when
the former was gambling in Chicago with
her money. The first two announced win
nings of $500 and $500, and the third said,
1--WE have lost all.
The statement read: "This is to certify
that / have given Harry 7. Hayward 1915
te gamble with, win or lose. Kate Cling"
Then the Mayor said he went after Adry
Hayward and drove to the trust company,
where out of Adry's box were taken the
! i
not want to give them up, but the Mayor
insisted and finally took them away with
him. The party next went to Hayward's S
office and secured the life insurance poll
cies and other documents. While at the
Ozark Hayward had shown the officers his
revolver and had pointed out that it was
loaded all around and was very clean.
The court then adjourned until Monday.

canes, by snow and hail, low temperature
and winds that shifted their direction fre-
quently, but seldom lessened their speed.
More than this, La Gascogne, from all
reports that other vessels have brought in
and from the data of the weather bureau,
was buffeted by cyclonic gales, with the
wind blowing at from 60 to 100 miles an
hour, almost from her first day out. None
of the ships that have put into port here or
that have touched at any foreign port has
seen La Gascogne.
From Bermuda and the Azores, from
Queenstown and from Havre, the story is
the same. At first the theory entertained
by the agents was that La Gascogne had
been temporarily disabled through break
in the machinery, and was making for
the Azores or perhaps some of her own
ports under greatly reduced sail.
Yesterday a brand-new element was in
troduced into the mass of conjectures and
speculation concerning her movements or
her fate. La Gascogne is out of coal. The
suggestion that perhaps all this time La
Gascogne had been fighting hard fight in
the teeth of terrific gales that other ships
avoided by choosing a path twenty to
thirty miles south brought some comfort
TO the French line manager. f. B. Dunn,
signal officer, said he was of the opinion
that she had drawn so deeply on her coal
supply that when she finally gave up the
contest with the billiards. and headed for
the Azores, her speed had'to be kept down
to perhaps half a dozen knots an hour
Mr.. Forget was inclined to insist that the
ship had coal enough for any emergency,
but he was greatly interested in the story
of the storm.
Tonight several rumors were afoat to
the effect that La Gascogne had been
sighted, but investigation has in each case
proven such stories without foundation.
At II 80 P. NJ. a steamship was sighted off
Fire Island bound in. At first it was
thought this might be the long-looked for
French liner, but as she proceeded without
displaying any signals the thought fell
fiat. 1t is customary with captains of over
due steamers to display signals continually
when near port in order to relieve anxiety
of relatives and friends.
The weather is rough in the outer bay
tonight, and it will take from two to three
hours for the vessel to reach Sandy Hook.
LATER A. M.-At this hour no news
had been received of La Gascogne and
Rhineland

sPURRED ON By WITCHES.
HaIIuctnatio,. of a Mother Who Murdered
Her Babe.

New YORK, Feb. 8. = Annie Tencil has
been taken to the Bellevue Hospital, where
she is confined in the insane ward, pending
an investigation into her sanity. She was
taken there from police station, where
she had been charged with the murder of
her 16 months old child, Mary. Her
arrest was the outcome of confession
nade to Father MCGOWAN early IN the pre-
vious evening. She then said that she was
pursued by witches, who told her that in
order to keep her child from the devil she
must kill it. The witches had such strong
hold upon her, she said, that at noon on
Thursday, while the child was asleep, she
choled it to death.
Father MCGOWAN said that when the
woman made her confession to him he be-
lieved she was suffering from hallucina-
ton. In order to quiet her he gave her
book of prayers, which had such an effect
on her that she went into Mysteries. Her
cries aroused the neighbors, who went to
her assistance and found the body of the
child. They called in the police.

The Cunard liner Umbria, from Liver

QUEENSTOWN, Feb. 9.-The Cunard steam
ship Etruria, from New York February 2,
has arrived, and reports that she saw no
signs of the French line steamship La
Gascogne.
GLASGOW, Feb. 9.-The Anchor line
Anchoria, from New York January 26,
several days overdue, was sighted off Tory
Island, north of Ireland, at $40 o'clock
this morning.
BERMUDA, Feb. 9.-It has been thought
here that La Gascogne might have been
driven away after a breakdown of her ma
chinery, and a sharp lookout has been
kept for any tidings of the steamer. Up TO
this evening, however, nothing has been
seen of her, and all vessels arriving re-
ported the same. All arrivals here encoun-
tered very bad weather at sea.
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Feb. 9.-The
steamer Paricoa is now seven days out
from New York to Halifax. The general
impression is some accident to her machin-
cry has happened. A dispatch from She'll
burn says the schooner Priscilla was aban-
doned in a waterlogged condition on the
7th. Her crew was picked up and the
vessel towed to that harbor by the
schooner Belden.

from Havre on September IL of that year
on her maiden voyage for New York, and
returning left New York on September 25.
She has been making regular and safe trips
ever since, and though she has been dis

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-There is yet con-
siderable doubt as to whether any time
will be given in the House for the consid-
Grafton of the Nicaragua canal bill. Rep
resentative Cultivate, member of the
Committee on Rules, to-day said to the
CALL correspondent that he thought no
time would be allowed. But later in the
day Representative Geary said he had
talked with Speaker Crisp, who held out
some hope. Geary has promised to bring
Crisp petition signed by majority of
the House members, asking that day be
given. If Geary succeeds in getting the
requisite number of names the measure
will be considered.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Chairman Reilly
of the House Committee on Pacific Rail
ways visited Secretary Carlisle to-day in
accordance with the request of the COM
mittee and asked the Secretary's opinion
as to whether more specific appropriation
would be necessary in case the Govern
ment should deem it advisable under the
authority of the act of March 8, 1887, to
pay off the first-mortgage bonds of the
special bond-aided roads. The Secretary
thought the authority contained in the act
was sufficient, but alluded to the fact that
any action on this line was made contin-
gent upon the direction of the President,
and, while he could not speak with author
ity, he did not think President Cleveland
would be inclined to direct that such ac-
ton be taken.
