THAT CULVER MYSTERY
Evidence That the Missing Man
Killed Himself.
WROTE THE STRANGER LETTERS

tte Is SAID 20 nave Heen Disappointed In
Love and TO Have Planned Suicide, Sc
That 1t Would Appear That lie Had
Been Murdered.
NEW York, June 4--The World today
publishes the result Of an investigation
which it has been making into the death
Of Roy NJ. Culver, who left his home ia
Newark, N. VI, on March 2S, and whose
body was found some weeks later in the
Clyde river. The World says;
Tho two most significant facts estab-
lished aro that Culver wrote tho letters
signed Stranger, which told that be
had been put out Of the way and that he
planned in advance the trip to Clyde,
where his body was found in the river.
Everything points TO suicide. There Is a
little girl in blue in tho case, Of whom
Roy had become very fond. 1t is known
that she looked ooldy on Roy's suit and
that her people did not approve it.
Tho Stranger letters were written by
Culver to convince his friends that he had
boon murdered. There is possibility that
he did not contemplate suicide when he
went TO Clyde, and that no met with foul
play. but IN view Of all the circumstances
this possibility seems remote in the OK
treme.

The Tail Stranger.

The Tail Stranger.
The story told by tho second hand store
keeper Of Lyons that the day the body was
found q tall stranger came into his place
and tried to borrow money on articles OF
personal apparel was carefully inyestgat-
cd. This man upon whom suspicion rested
for time proved TO be Peter Claneath,
whose father was at one time q Syracuse
alderman.
He claimed he was serving term OF 60
days for yagraney in the Erie county peni-
tentiary, Buffalo, at the time Culver dis
appeared and telegram 60 the warden
established the truth Of this statement 1t
was also proven that the soil on Culver 5
clothing was identical with that at the
bottom Of the Clyde river and entirely diff
terent from that found at Canandaigua
Outlet contrary to the general theory.
The evidence in regard to tho fStran-
gorp letters being written by Culver him
self was secured through close compari-
son Of these with the writing on a num-
Der Of shells and stones picked up by him
at Sodus Point last year. On them Cul-
Yer had written various Inscriptions, and
the characters are identical with those in
the letters. 1t was also discovered that
one Of the stranger letters was written
on leaves cut from one OF Culver's books
But, above all Culver left behind the
two railroad time tables on which be had
as clearly indicated tho course Of his wan.
derings as though he hNd made a writton
statement. Instead Of going to Syracuse
on the day he left home he went to Lyons
by the West Shore road llo Is registered
at a second ratio hotol there under bis right
name He was seen to leave Newark by
the West Shore baggage master
Telltaie Time Tables.
On tho West Shore time table he had
drawn a ring around the figures which
represent the time tho train left Newark,
l0:SS a. M, and the time at which it ar
rived in Lyons, 10;47 a. IN. He remained
over night in Lyons and had breakfast
there. He told the hotel proprietor he
wanted 60 catch train for Clyde but in
stoad he took trnin to Syracuse.
on his New York Central time table he
had computed the distance in miles bo-
tween Syracuse ana Lyons, clearly indi-
eating he had the trip In mind Iio must
have been there just before $3.50 D. IN. on
the goth TO have mailed the letters and
tho postal card received in Newark the
next day. The only other marks on the
time table suggest the trip from syracuse
back to Clyde.
Frank Bills Of Clyde says he saw 8
stranger standing on the bridge across
the river in Clyde about quarter Of a
mile above the depot, whore the body was
found between s and 8 p. m. He crossed
the bridge into town, and returning an
hour and a half later saw tho samo person
standing thero gazing into the water. lie
is sure 1t was Roy Culver

THE MESSAGE A SURPRISE.
Members Of House VIII Not Express
Themselves Upon IL.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. December 20
The special message of the President.
which reached the Capitol this afternoon
after the adjournment OF the House. was
received with widespread astonishment on
an sides. Although its purport became
quickly known and circulated rapidly
through the hotels, where many public
men reside. so surprised were they that
at midnight few could be found who
cared TO express an opinion for publca-
ton, either upon it's merits or as TO the
course which Congress would probably
pursue.
privately Republican members OF the
House severely criticised the President.
IL was contended by a number of these
gentlemen that the message was ili-ad-
Vised and unnecessary; that its effect
would be TO add TO the gravity Of the
situation. and that Congress is In no
position at the present to afford the re-
lief desired.
Leading Republicans say that no mea-
sure satisfactory to them can either pass
the Senate or receive the Presidents
sanction. On the other hand, the House,
they assert will not agree to any legis-
lation looking to the retirement OF the
greenbacks and the substitution therefor
OF gold interest-bearing bonds
Speaker Reed positively declined to ex-
press an opinion respecting the message.
He thought IL not unlikely that Congress
might remain in session with a view to
assisting the Executive as far as lay in
its power. but beyond this he declined to
talk.
NO ADJOURNMENT TO-DAY.
Two things, however are considered as
certain. One is that Congress will not
adjourn tomorrow. as was expected. and
secondly, that the announcement of the
committees will be made shortly after
the House meets. The Presidents message
will first be laid before the House, and.
after the committees have been made pub
lie II will be referred to the Ways and
Means Committee.
Some Of the Republicans regard II as
folly TO remain continuously in session
during the holiday season, and these will
use their influence TO secure a recess not
later than Tuesday next until New
Years
They argue that the better plan is to
return home and consult with their con-
stituents so that upon reassemblng their
work can be more intelligently performed.
Those who argue thus condemn the Presi-
dents message in strong terms. They con-
tend that II would have been wiser 10
have consulted with a few leading Sena-
tors and Representatives of both parties
with respect to the condition of the Trea-
sury
This it is claimed. could have been easi-
ly done, thus sparing the country the
shock which, they assert. IL will naturally
experience upon the receipt Of the mes
sage.

LONDON STOCK MARKET.

LONDON, December 20.-The Stock Ex-
change market closed very unsettled. In
regard to the panic in American railroad
stocks the Pail Mall Gazette says:
1T is not war that is feared but a
premium on gold If the American ship
ments continue"
The Westminster Gazette says: Not
only are investors in railroad stocks sell
ing, but large speculations for a fall are
being entered into. III is not that war is
expected, but the transactions are being
made through fear that the negotiations
between Great Britain and the United
States will be protracted. At the same
time, the operators are bearing in mind
the currency position In the United States
and have no desire to hold risks

"THE CLEVELAND POLICY"
of British Flag
from Canada and Guiana"

DUBLIN, December 20-Mr. James
O'Reilly, member of Parliament Tor
North Roscomnon, London editor of the
Irish Independent, of Dublin and for
merly one of the editors OF the New York
Herald, has contributed an article 10
the Independent, in which he says that
President Cleyeland's action in the Vene-
zuelan affair." was guided by remark
able policy which was certain sooner
or later TO bring Great Britain and the
United States into actual conflict Many
of the wisest Americans. he says, be-
lieve that conflict is inevitable, ana
that the sooner 1t comes the better Tor
America. The disappearance OF the
Hritiah flag from Canada and Guiana, Mr..
O'Reilly writes. is probably the true aim
of Mr.. Cleveland's policy, and the Nene-
zuela incident Is merely an excuse for
beginning the quarrel.
