POLICY POISONER,
WOmnn's Death Accomplished In
Order to Gain Money.

WOmnn's Death Accomplished In
Order to Gain Money.
San Francisco, May go. w. Win
throp, assistant superintendent of
Laurel Hill cemetery, was arrested
this morning in connection with the
mysterious death of Mrs. Jennie
Matthews last Saturday. Mrs.
Matthews died very suddenly while
decorating the grave of her child. Her
little daughter, who was with her, said
winthrop gave her mother pill, but
he denied the statement. An analysis
of the Woman's stomach, however, de-
veloped the fact that it contained
strychnine. Evidence is said to have
been found now that Mrs. Matthews
had her life insured for $1,000 a few
days before her death and that Win
throp is deputized in the policy to hold
the money in trust for her daughter,
Minnie, child six years old. Mrs.
Matthews husband did not know his
wife had her life insured until after
her death, and now the policy cannot
be found. No charge was made against
winthrop, but he was locked up and
will be held pending a further investi
cation of the case

Condition of Trade.

New York, May 26. - Bradstreet's
says: The moderate reaction in the
stock market, caused primarily by re-
peated frosts and reports of severe
damage to cereal crops and other farm
produce, was followed only in part by
corresponding check to the move
meDt in general trade. Not one Of the
larger grain states confirms the re-
ports of severe damage to wheat and
corn with which the exchanges have
abounded, and there is less reason to
believe in the extent Of it as currently
reported.

an American missionary, stationed at |
Salmis. This gentleman took testimony |
TO the effect that when the Turkish sol |
diers and Kurds appeared at certain
village they collected some of the viii
layers who dared not protest against
the outrages, and many Of the dead men
were cut up and thrown into the kettle
and boiled like so much beef. The boil
ed pieces were then given to the villa
gers for food. The wretched creatures
were compelled to eat their friends TO
the last mouthful. In another village
a party of Kurds found child asleep
in its cradle. They overturned the era
die and smothered the child. Then they
dissected the body and roasted pieces
OF it before the fire. AS climax, they
compelled members of the family, in
Guiding the child's mother, TO eat the
roasted pieces.
Refugees who tell these stories are.
for the most part, ready to return TO
Armenia to wreak vengeance on their
prosecutors as soon as they are supplied
with ammunition, arms and food by
the revolutionary party. and, as already
stated. the only thing lacking is food.
The weapons 1 have seen are known
in Russia as "Soldatskie" guns, that is
the gun used by the regular army of
Russia. The gun is Boordan rifle.
J a simple and efficient weapon, particu-
| larly we'll suited to rough usage.
One of the bitterest things the Arme-
MAN revolutionary leaders have to re-
fleet upon is the fact that many Arme-
mans act as spies for the Turkish gov
eminent 1t is a melancholy state OF
things. 1t is freely admitted by the Ar
menians themselves that Armenians can
always be found to sell out their friends
for a purse of silver.
The leaders and agents whom I have
met are apparently sincere and trust
worthy. 1t should be explained in con-
nection with this revolutionary move
ment, that there are revolutionary par
ties, but until have tangible proof of
the active existence of them l shall con-
tinue to speak for the revolutionists as
if there were but one party. The head
quarters of the revolutionary party is
in London, and it is from London that
the leader issues his orders to his exc
cutive leaders in Russia, Persia and
Turkey. 1t is my duty to give a word
of warning to the kind-hearted persons
in Great Britain and America who are
subscribing funds for the relief of the
Sassoun refugees, that if these contrib
utors have a desire to aid the revolution
airy party they should ascertain truly
the estimate of their contributions. A:
have already pointed out, Sassoun re
lief funds are merely revolutionary
funds in disguise. 1 am convinced tina
any relief money entrusted to any Ar
| menian will sooner or later be used t
help the revolutionary cause.

SALVATION IN THE SUMMER TIME

General Fielding Inaugurates Tent Bri-
gades'' and Prepares His Campaign.
Chicago, May 26.-The most vigorous
summer campaign ever planned by the
Salvation Army was launched today by
Brigadier General Fielding of the army.
A private council of officers has con-
Vened and will be followed by similar
meetings tomorrow. and Thursday there
will be a grand field day, to be inaug-
urated by a holiness convention at
Evanston.
The characteristic feature of the sum-
mer's work will consist in three tent
brigades which will start out upon pill
grimages of the country districts at the
close Of the present festivities. One
brigade is composed of a well trained
brass band, with IA good musicians.
Another is composed of 20 young wo-
men with a string band. The third is
the mems singing brigade, which also
includes a brass and string band. Each
brigade will have tent seating from
1000 to 1000 people.
They will remain in one location from
one to two weeks. 1t is sought by these
means to strengthen the organization
in the country districts, the army hav-
ing hitherto devoted it's energies chiefly
to the slums of great cities, depending
also upon the urban population for
financial support.
