AND CHILD ESTABLISHED.

She Was From 81. Louis and the Girl
Was Her Niece-She Registered
Under an Assumed Name and said
She Was Dodging "A Man Who
Wanted to Marry Her-She Was
Waiting for Her Husband to Die in
order TO Marry Her New WOOer.
Dallas. Tex, Nov. 1.-THE woman killed
near Laredo yesterday and called Caroline
Memm or Menn. was Mrs. Christenia
Hemm, of st. Louis. She came to Dallas
in September last and registered at the
Postoffioe hotel as Mrs. Schultz. Recently
She paid visit TO St. Louis and on her re-
turn last week brought with her the child
who she said was her niece. Ethel Fisher.
Her husband, she said, had recently died.
She told Mrs. Marks, the pro-
prietor, her real name, and
said the reason she had registered as Mrs.
Schultz, was because she was trying to
avoid a man named Kuntz of ST. Louis,
who had long wanted her to marry him,
which she declined to do until her husband,
who was in bad health should die. She
said she was afraid Kuntz would kill her
for this, so she took the assumed name.
She left for Houston, Tex, last Saturday
night telling Mrs. Marks that she was 20
be married at Houston, but did not name
the man. Her last words on leaving were
when ! am married / shall send you a
group picture of my husband, my niece and
myself"
There IS no doubt that the three dead
bodies at Laredo are those of Kuntz. Mrs.
Hemm and Ethel Fisher. all of st. Louis.
Laredo, Tex, Nov. 1.-THE police are
satisfied that the indentifiCation of the
three dead bodies here as contained in
dispatch from Dallas is correct. They
have been unable to assign motive for
the murder Of Mrs. Hemm and the child,
Ethel Fisher by Kuntz, but are convinced
that it was not robbery.

Denver's Healer Leaves Town Be-

Denver's Healer Leaves Town Be
tween Suns to Dodge a Trial.
Denver, Col, Nov. 1.-THE city is wild
over the latest sensation in the Schlatter
craze. This morning, when a member Of
the Fox family went to call the healer of
the sick for breakfast, about o'clock his
was found vacant. He had mysteriously
disappeared some time during the night
leaving no word behind Mr.. Fox later
came before the crowd of 5000 people that
had been assembling since a. m, and told
the startling news. The crowd was as
touned and were disposed at first to disbe-
leVe the story. Then they began to dis
Cuss the matter, some being inclined to
blame Mr.. Fox. To-day Schlatter was to
appear before the United States commits
sioner as a witness against the blessed
coming entangled in the court proceed
ings is probably the real reason for MS
disappearance
1t was observed yesterday that he was
growing restless under the increasing eN-
citement, and the swelling crowds. The
craze had grown beyond his power TO
control, and this fact is also believed to
have had some influence in sending him
away. Later in the morning a note from
Schlatter was found, reading: Mr. Fox,
my mission is finished. The father takes
me away. r. Schlatter."
1t is thought the healer is wandering
over the hills. 1t is known that he took
no money with him. Thousands of people
fiocked about the deserted cottage this
morning, and the condition OF the
disappointed sick from distance is pit
liable.
The United States court has issued a
subpoena for Schlatter's immediate ap-
pearance as a defaultng witness. A
search is being made for him, without sue
cess thus far. Should he be found and
jailed trouble will follow, so strong is
the public belief in the mans honesty
and sincerity, and even his power Cf
curing disease through some sort of su-
pernatural means or by divine dispensa-
ton.

FAILURE OF THE KArAHDIN.
A Recommendation That the Vessel
BE Accepted in spite of Ia.

Washington. Nov 1.-THE reports Of
the chiefs OF the naval bureaus of con-
struction and steam engineering, con-
corning the failure of the ram Katahdin
to make the speed required by the con-
tract with the naval department, have
been made to the Secretary of the Navy
1t is understood that they recommend
that the vessel be accepted by the govern
ment despite the requirement that If the
vessel failed to develop an average speed
of seventeen knots per hour during her
trial run, she should stand rejected The
ground for the recommendation is that
the arbitrary contract requirement was
not made under a provision of law, but
al the volition of the Secretary OF the
Navy, and that, therefore, the secretary
is not bound to compel adherence to the
letter of the contract, but may modify it
as he pleases.
In addition 70 this 1t is urged that the
provision for the rejection of the Katah-
din, if she failed to develop certain speed
had not been incorporated in contracts
for other vessels, and 1t is said that the
chiefs of the construction and steam en-
gineeringF bureaus think that the Katah-
din could be accepted without injury to the
government, at a reduction from the
agreed price prOportonate to the falling
off in the required speed.

A DIsTILLERY IN FLAMES.
Several Persons Injured and a Loss
of SS5.OOO Inflicted.

Boston, Nov, 1.-THE five-story brick
building at 200 ana 2O2 Congress street was
gutted by fire this afternoon. 1t was
occupied entirely by the Empire DistiI-
ing Company. Several persons were in
jured, but none seriously.
The Empire Distilling Companys loss
is about $S5 900, partly insured. The build-
ing, which was owned by William II.
Stafford, was valued at $4,000, and In
sured.
Little is known about the origin of the
ire. There was suddenly an explosion Of
alcohol on the second floor, and in a min
ute two more explosions followed Then
1t seemed as though the whole structure
was burning. The flames spread with
remarkable rapidity, and when the first
detail Of apparatus arrived huge volumes
of smoke were pouring from every win
dow Of the five floors. About twenty men
were employed in the building, but, fortu-
nately, most of them had gone to dinner
The flames communicated to the build
ings of A. II. Tapeley & Co., boots and
shoes and of Thompson a Norris, paper
boxes. but the damage to each was slight.
A panic was created among some forty
hVe girls employed in the Thompson q
Norris factory, and they rushed wildly
through the building in their excitement.
Some of them would have jumped from
the windows had they not been prevent
ed; but all finally got out in safety.
A similar state of affairs occurred in
the confectionery shop of William Low
ney, in the rear of the distilling companys
building. Some 400 girls are employed
there, and when the smoke from the burn
ing building reached the candy factory
the girls became panc-stricken Many of
but as in the paper box building, all es-
capped injury.

The Man Suspected OF stnrting the
AIgiers FIRE Acquitted.
New Orleans, Nov. 14.-It will be remem-
bered that the fire which destroyed the
greater part of Algiers on the night of
Oct. 20 was supposed to have been caused
by one Paul Bouffa setting his store Oh
fire. Had he been caught that terrible
night he would certainly have been
lynched. He was brought over to New
Orleans under arrest early on Sunday,
and has ever since been confined in the
parish prison.
To-day he was carried over to Algiers
and appeared before the Fourth recorder s
court for trial on the charge or arsOi.
Since the fire. opinion in Algiers has
changed altogether in favor of the sus-
pected man. The court was crowded, and
great interest was taken in the triai.
Bouffa looked anything but a guilty maH.
A number of witnesses We're examined
for the state, but their evidence was
distinctly in favor of the accused. The
witnesses for Bouffa proved that he was
in New Orleans when the fire broke out.
After hearing the evidence, the judge
said BOuffa had clearly proven an alibi
and discharged the prisoner.

The Men to he Allowed to work for

the StevedOres.
New Orleans, Nov. H.-The labor troub-
les affecting the traffic of this port may
be considered as finally ended. After
about years turmoil the Screwmens
Association have decided to allow the
members of the association to work for
the stevedores 1t will be remembered
that soon after the riot on the levee last
spring. which resulted in a split between
the screwmen and the stevedores, the
screwmen organized an association of
their own for the purpose of loading and
unloading ships, and at the same time pro-
hibited any of its members from receiv-
ing employment from the stevedores. The
screwmens company have been unable
to give work to all the screwmen and in
consequence a large number of them were
forced to remain idle or seek employ
ment in other lines of industry The
screwmen are skuled laborers, and the
decision they have at last made gives
general satisfaction. All will now be able
to go to work at their trade and a the
same time end a state of affairs which
was harmful to the labor and shipping in
tereStS.

Birmingham, Ala. Nov. 14.-For some
days past metropolitan newspapers and
financial journals have been publishing
statements that the rolling mills of this
city had shut down. and that the bottom
had dropped out of the iron business in
Birmingham. There is no truth in the
statement All the rolling mills here are
running on full time, and have not lost
day since resuming operations almost a
year ago. The bar iron department of
the Birmingham rolling mill has been
closed temporarily, and the men trans
ferred to other departments. This was
done on account of the other departments
being crowded with orders. AS a matter
of fact, and one that would alone contra
vert the articles published in the northern
papers, two idle iron furnaces have been
blown in during the past ten days, max
ing twenty now in operation in the dis
trict. A week ago some trouble occurred
between the Birmingham Rolling Mil
Company and its employees, and a shut
down on that account was threatened,
