THE SEEKER TRIAL
The Murderer and His Little Daughter on the
Witness Stand

Most of yesterdays session of Judge
Smiths court was taken up by the Seeker
murder trial. and about the same evil
dence was given as in the examinations.
Seeker was put on the stand and gave-Ilss
story to the jury in a very emphatic, at
times slightly tragic, manner.
The defense rested yesterday and some
evidence in rebuttal as taken. Today
will probably be consumed in argument
and consideration by the jury.

MAY KILL SCHWEINFURTH.
COUDREY DISCLOSES THAT HE
HAS BEEN So URGED BY
CHURCH PEOPLE.
FIGHT OF THE AGED CHICAGO MAN
TO RECOVER HIS FAMILY FROM
THE HEAVEN"

CHICAGO, March 19.-George Coudrey
the Chicago stencil and die manufacturer,
who is suing George Jacob Schweinfurth
for $4,000 asserted to-day that he has been
urged by many prominent church people,
clergymen and laymen to kill the pre-
tended christ. Coudrey's case against
Schweinfurth for breaking up the Goudrey
family was set for trial to-day, but the de-
Tense again secured continuance.
The persistent delaying of the trial
angered the plaintiff who is an old man,
and in burst of wrath he declared that if
he had followed the advice of his friends
he would have gone to Schweinfurth' s
Heaven" at Rockford and tested the
"Messiah's" Immortality with cold lead
The old mans excited declaration created
! a sensation among his hearers.
"Some of the most prominent ministers
in Chicago" he said, "have told me that
the killing of that man would be a Chris
tan duty. Only the teachings and advice
of Dwight L. Moody have prevented my
following such counsel. Schweinfurth has
broken up my home and taken my family
away from me, and it is becoming only too
apparent that / cannot get redress through
legal channels
Coudreys wife and five children are now
living at the Rockford Heaven" and
have resisted all efforts to secure their re-
turn, being unduly influenced, he claims,
by Schweinfurth.

BANDIT ASSASSIN SILVA.
DEATH OF THE MAN OF MANY
CRUEL AND WANTON
MURDERS.
THINKING HIS. WIFE HAD Be-
TRAYED HIM He KILLED HER
AND WAS SLAIN HIMSELF.

SANTA FE n. NJ, March 19.-The body
of Vincent Silva, chief of the San Miguel
band of robbers and assassins, and that of
his wife, Telsfora Sandoval, have been
brought into Las Vegas. The officers have
been searching the country over for Silva
for the last two years, there being rewards
for his capture, dead or alive, aggregating
$1,000 He was the leader of gang of des-
peradoes who terrorized the Southwest for
years.
1t is claimed that no less than twelve
men fell at the hands of Silva alone. He
presided at the whitecap trial which con-
demned to death one of his gang, Patrick
Maez, for divulging secrets of the gang,
and he supervised the hanging of that in
dlvldual to bridge in the town of Las
Vegas. 1t is known that he stabbed to
death Gabriel Sandoval
When the officers got on his trail and his
capture was but question of hours, Silva,
who was suspicious of his wife, fearing that
she had betrayed him to the officers, killed
her and buried the body in the sand near
Los Alamos Boosting of this crime to
some OF his followers they in turn MUIR
dered him and buried him in the same
grave with his victim.

In the body Of an adult person there are
about IS pounds of blood.
The blood has as it's most important ele-
ments. small round corpuscles, red and
white. in proportion of about 300 red to l
white one.
II the number of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased
the blood is impure, thin, lacking in the
nutrition necessary to sustain the health
and nerve strength of the body.
Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, or others of the long
train Of ills, according to the temperament
and disposition, attack the victim.
The only permanent remedy Is found in
reliable blood medicine like Hoods

puscIes, enriching them and increasing
their number. 1t thus restores the vital

ONE CLEW TOTHB LYNCHERS
OFFICERS ON THE TRACK OF THE
BRUTAL SLAYERS OF MRS.
HOLTON.
THE UNFORTUNATE WOMAN
AGAINST A HORSETHIEF.

BUTTE, Nebr., March 19.-The authori-
ties think they have struck clew that
may lead to the apprehension of the
lynchers of Mrs. Holton.
Mrs. Holton was a German woman about
80 years old and fairly well to do. Her
husband, Theodore Holton, was sent to:the
hospital for the insane at Norfolk about
eighteen months ago. Since that time his
wife has lived alone on the ranch, the
couple having no children. She looked
after bunch of cattle they owned and
managed to prosper as much as when her
husband lived with her. They had been in
that section many years and were well
known to the cattlemen of all descriptions
1t is Just this acquaintance that IN
doubtedly brought about the crime. She
was the principal witness against young
fellow named Davis, charged with stealing
horses. 1t is believed that he knows of
the crime. His whereabouts is now I'M
known. This lead the Sheriff is following,
and he expects results in the near future.
The country in which the crime was
committed is far removed from the rail-
road and telegraph, and there are no towns
near from which information could be
readily secured. 1t is thinly settled, and
of such character that it is not improb-
able that this will be only one more added
to the list of violent deaths that have oc-
CURED in that portion of the State which
will never be explained or brought home to
any one, though the authorities believe
they can locate the criminals.

FATALLY SHOT A DEFECTIVE
PAT GROVE ADDS ANOTHER CRIME
TO HIS CAREER OF
VILLAINY.
WHEN ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY
He GAVE BATTLE AND
ESCAPED.

DENVER, March 19.-Pat Grove, famous
as train-robber, iail-breaker and diamond
thief, shot and fatally wounded Detective
Alphonso Moore tonight and made his
escape. The officer, with Detective Con-
nors, had located Grove and two compan-
ions in a room at 1920 Lawrence street.
They wanted the men for several recent
burglaries in this city. The arrest was
successfully made and the three prisoners
handcuffed together.
On the way to the patrol-box Grove
slipped his cuffs, and drawing revolver
from his belt began firing at the officers.
The fire was returned and it is thought
Grove was slightly injured. Moore was
struck in the groin and cannot recover.
Grove is famous throughout the country.
One of his crimes was the robbery of q
train at Ottumwa, Iowa. He has escaped
from iails at Sioux City, Milwaukee and
Chicago, and is badly wanted at the
first place. He is supposed to be a
member of the famous Evans gang.

ARRANGING TERMS OF PEACE
No Reason to Believe That Either
France or Russia Intends to
Interfere.

SHIMONOSEKI, March 19.-Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang and suite arrived here this
morning to negotiate for peace between
China and Japan. ENJOYS from the
Japanese Foreign Office Immediately Wis
tied the steamer conveying the Chinese
Viceroy. Later Ii Hung Chang, accom-
panied by John w. Foster, American adj
wiser for China, visited the japanese Min
lister of Foreign Affairs.
WASHINGTON, March LII Hung
Changes arrival in Japan is regarded in
official circles as one of the most signif-
cant events of recent days. 1t is the first
time in his life that the venerable states
man of China has set foot outside of
Chinese soil. At his advanced age he now
journeys to China's traditional foe to offer
enormous concessions as means of secur-
ing peace.
1t can be stated positively and authori-
tatively that the general terms of peace
are already understood, and all that re-
mains is the arranging of details within
certain specified limits. The general terms
have been brought about by United States
Ministers DENLY in China and Dun in
Toxic. 1t was even feared at late date
that Lis mission might fail through the
vagueness of his authority to treat for the
ceding of territory. This was arranged,
however, through the activity of the
United States, showing that the mission
would otherwise prove futile. The general
terms of Ii Hung Chang's authority are to
cede territory, pay cash indemnity, grant
the independence of Korea and arrange
new treaty relation with japan by which
Japanese extraterritorial jurisdiction in
Japan will be gained. The exact amount
of the cash indemnity is not fixed, nor is
the kind of metal it is to be paid in agreed
upon.
These and the boundaries of the coded
territories are yet to be arranged. So far
as the arrangement has advanced Prince
Lis mission is expected to be consummated
within few days, unless some unexpected
hitch occurs. Count Ito, one of the two
japanese ENJOYS, is close personal friend
of Ii Hung Chang, the two having settled
the Korean trouble in 1885. So great is
the japanese confidence in LIS ability to
see that China carries out an agreement
that his promise of a settlement will proba-
bly, pave the way to speedy cessation of
the war.
The reports that Russia will intervene
to stop the agreement are known to be mis-
leading from positive information received
here. The authorities believe that there
will be no word of trouble from Russia.
The same is believed to be true as to
France, although not with the same GER

an Important Decision Bearing Upon
Anti-Trpst Lafc.
DETROIT, March 19.-Judge Severns in
the United States District Court to-day
rendered an important decision bearing
upon the Sherman antitrust law. About
year ago the Merse, Warren, Michigan
and National Capsule companies entered
into an agreement to pool interests and
carry on the business of manufacturing
gelatlne shells for capsules under the style
of the United States Capsule Company.
The Merse Company baked and filed a bill
to perpetually restrain the United States
Company from doing business, on the
ground that it was an enterprise to put up
prices and bar competitors out of the bust
ness.
The defense was that the new company
was not formed to raise prices, but to lessen
the cost of production, stop the ruinous
competition and yield a better product.
Judge Severns takes the position that the
trust was formed in violation of the laws
of Michigan, as we'll as the act OF Congress-
at became so apparent" said Judge
Severns in connection with his opinion,
''that the combination was intolerable
unber the Michigan law that it was not
necessary to refer to acts of Congress
which bear upon this same question" The
case will doubtless undergo review in the
Appellate Court.

ONE WAY OF GETTING LIQUOR OUT
OF BOND AT SMALL
COST.
THE WAREHOUSE BURNED TO DE-
STROY THE EVIDENCE OF
NOVEL, DARING THEFT.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 19.-Deputy
Collector of Internal Revenue Vandervord
has unearthed one of the most novel cases
of robbery in the annals of the Federal
courts in this Stale. The story, as OBJ
tanned from the confession of some OF
those implicated in the conspiracy, is as
follows:
In 1892 Mr.. Bieman of Walhalla, S. c.,
sold the Government distillery No. 374
located three miles from that town, to
W. c. Tatum. In the warehouse con-
nected with the distillery was between
5000 and 10000 gallons of whisky, and the
warehouse was closed under seal of the
revenue officers, Tatum intending to hold
the whisky for the period of three years
allowed by law before stamping it. Tatum
closed the distillery when he made the
purchase.
A little later the stealing began. The
warehouse was built on the slope of a hill
The robbers drew the staple of the door,
inserted one end of a hose into a whisky
barrel, squeezed the hose through crack
in the wall and syphoned the whisky into
an empty barrel at the foot of the hill sew
eral rods away, whence they could haul it
away without serious FISK or uetect10n.
This process they repeated nightly until
every gill of whisky had been safely re-
moved. Then the band assembled one
night, and, after filling the barrels in the
warehouse with water, carefully replaced
the staple and seal.
As the end of three years approached
Collector TONNES wrote Tatum repeat
eddy, urging him to prepare to take the
liquor from bond, and it was while this
correspondence was in progress, on the
night of September 5, 1894, that the ware
house, with its contents was burned,
Meanwhile the suspicion of the revenue
department had been excited, and Col
lector Vandervord began an investiga.

covered, and the arrests of John Farmer

Watkins and John Rowland followed

LONDON, March IA dispatch to the
Times from Berlin says that the Imperial
Gazette makes the startling statement that
the State Council in adopting Hohen-
lohe's declaration on the currency ques-
ton omitted the phrase Without preju-
dicing our imperial currency" The omis-
sion, however, is no indication that Ger
many has been converted to bimetallism.
The declaration in the currency question
that Hohenlohe read in the Reichstag was
as follows:

tinue to react on our commercial life Fol
