Major Hamilton, who Had IA War Record
Killed in Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, April "a special to
the Post from Morgantown, KY, says:
"Morgantown is in a fever of excitement
over the murder, which occurred early
this morning, of Major A. j. Hamilton,
the famous originator and executor of
the Libby prison escape in 1864. Sam
Spencer has been arrested on the evil
dence of Alfred Bether, who says Spencer
fired the fatal shot. Major Hamilton s
name is famous throughout the country
and he has received many notices in
magazines in the United States. The
escape of Major Hamilton and his 1O4
associates from the famous old Libby
prison at Richmond, Va, is one of the
most interesting incidents of the civil
war. Major Hamilton was member of
the Twelfth Kentucky cavalry, and with
hun were confined Capt. James A. John
son of the Eleventh cavalry and Lieut.
Ed Noble OF the Twenty-tirst infantry
They conceived the idea of tunnelling
ont Of the Old prison, and with few
crude implements began the task. After
digging forty nights they saw daylight
ana with them l04 other officers escaped
The officers named appeared at Louis,
vile on the night of March 3, 1864
Many of those who escaped were re-
captured.

therefore no reports have been received

the showing is exceedingly gratifying to
those having the matter in charge
Another matter Of congratulation is the
little difficulty being experienced by the
taxpayers filling out the blanks. All
things considered the work of collecting
the tax is going forward with very little
friction. 1t is expected that at least
s2oo0O0OO income tax will have been
collected by June l, the close of the
fiscal year. The officials do not express
any doubts that the supreme court will
sustain all the important features of the
law, if not the entire act as it stands,
and are pushing work as rapidly as is
consistent with accuracy.

The, exploit for which Perryis most gen.
orally known was the robbery OF the AmertS
can Express Company's special train be-
tween Syracuse and Lyons. on the New York
Central Railroad, on September 80, 1881.
This train sometimes, carried more than
$500, ,0OO.. Perry effected an entrance into
the baggage car by saving away bit OF the
door,. He covered Agent Moore with MS
gun, and, after taking what he wanted,
backed out Of the car and when on the
platform cut the rubber coupling which put
on the air brakes. This slackened the speed
of the train and Perry jumped Oh. Perry
got $4,000 and some jewelry by the ROBBERY.
The crime was, traced to him by detectives,
but he could. not be found.
The second robbery occurred on February
21, 1892. and was g. desperate piece OF WORK.
After shooting the messenger Perry escaped,
but was recognized In the crowd at the sta
ton, at Lyons. When the train hands at
tempted to arrest him he pulled out two re-
volvers, and, covering the men, retreated 70

pearine down the track. Pursuit was made
In, another engine, and when Perry saw that
he.was being caught he reversed his lever
and passed his pursuers at full speed. The
occupants. Of the engines exchanged shots as
they passed.
This, sort ottMng- was kept UP for an hour
or more, and then Perry stole march on
his pursuers and steamed to Blue Cut, where
he deserted his engine. ordering the switch
man at the point of the pistol to take the
engine back to Lyons. A posse was organ

across country. He was finally captured
and taken to Rochester, where he was tried
and convicted and on May 49, 1892, was Sep-

The President Sets Forth His Ideas ON
National Finance.
In response to the invitation OF business
men OF Chicago, Democrats and Repubn-
cans, to attend public reception there,
letter was received from President Cleveland
declining the invitation and setting forth
at length his views on the financial question.
In thelcourse Of his letter the President says:
"If the sound money sentiment abroad IN
the land is to save us from mischief and dis
aster, 1t must be crystallized and combined
and made Immediately active. 1t Is danger
GUS to overlook the fact that a vast number
OF our people, with scant opportunity thus
far to examine the question in all its aspects,
have nevertheless been ingeniously pressed
with special suggestions which in this tlme
OF misfortune and depression find willing
listeners prepared to give credence to any
scheme which is plausibly presented I as
remedy for their unfortunate condition. what
Is now more needed than anything else IL d
plain and simple presentation OF the argu-
ment In favor Of sound money. In other
words. it Is time for the American people TO
reason together rs members OF great Nation.
which can promise them continuance OF
protection and safety only so long as It's SOL
vency is unsupported, its honor unsuilleu,
and the soundness Of its money unquestion-
ed"
In concluding his letter the President
writes:
ssIf reckless discomfort and wild expert
ment should sweep currency from its sate
support, the most defensees5 OF all VINO SUI
fer in that time of distress and National dts
credit will be the people, as they reckon the
loss in their scanty support, and the laborer
and workingman, as he sees the money ne
has received for his toll shrink and shrlVel
in his hand when he tenders it for the neces-
saries to supply his humble home.
..Disguise it as we may. the line OF battle
ia drawn between the forces Of safe currency
and those of silver monometallism. l will
not believe that If our people are afforded an
intelligent opportunity for sober second
thought, they will sanction schemes that,
however cloaked, mean disaster and con
fusion, nor that they will consent, py unuer1
mining the foundation Of 4 safe currency, to
endanger the beneHcent character and pur-
poses OF their Government.

TWO MURDERS IN A CHURCH..
Sam Francisco Shocked by an Atrocioui
Double Murder.

Sam Francisco Shocked by an Atrocious
Double Murder.
San Francisco, CAL, In recent years has
seen no parallel to the crime Of Theodore
Durant, q young medical student, at whose
door Is laid the cruel outrage and murder OF
two young girls, Blanche Lamont and
Minnie Williams. Both were done to death
in Emanuel Baptist Church. The body OF
Miss Williams was found, hacked and man
gled, In the pastors closet. This led to
closer search, and the body Of Miss Lamont,
who had been missing for ten days, was found
In the belfry room of the church. Durant,
the assistant superintendent OF the church
sundey-school,. was arrested, and there Is no
question of his guilt.
The body OF Blanche Lamont was found
stripped of every stitch Of clothing, and the
marks Of strangers rope around her neck.
The face CT the strangled girl was purple
from the pressure of the rope, twisted
from her own clothing. Signs OF a.
struggle were found in the tracks on
the floor and in the finger marks on the
woodwork Of the wall. Bruises on the flesh
and some slight scratches on the face and
neck gave evidence of the brutality OF the
murderous hands which had sent two beanh-
full victims to the grave.
