Higher Walks Mostly Use
Anthony for Poison.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept 6.-The third
days session OF the Medico-legal Congress
began this morning. The Hon. Rastus S.
Ransom presided. The business began by
the reading of paper on "The Brutality
of Capital Punishment" by Gustav Boehm.
In the absence of Mr.. Boehm the paper
was read by Clark Bell.
Mrs. C. L. Morehouse of New York read
a paper on Compulsory Vaccination and
Its Errors" She said that when our fore
fathers fought for the liberty of this coun-
try they did not imagine their descendants
would be subject to the tyranny of COM
pulsory vaccination.
The subject of chemistry was then
reached and Professor Doremus read an
interesting paper on milk adulteration.
Then Professor Doremus read an interest
ing paper on 1.-TWO remarkable cases of
chronic antimonial poisoning" He dwelt
with the case of Rev. G. ]. Yosburg, pastor
of the Baptist church, Bergen, Jersey City,
charged with attempting to poison his
wife with antimony, and the case of DIR.
Henry Meyer, who was tried for poisoning
Ludwig Brandt with antimony. Vosburg
was acquitted and DR.. Meyer was con-
victed.
DR.. Doremus gave minute history OF
the trials of Vosburg and Meyer, both OF
which were celebrated cases. and especially
the latter one. He said that antimonial
poisoning, as the records showed, was re-
sorted to by people in the better walks OF
life.
Albert Bach, in the discussion which
followed DR.. Doremus' paper, as a lawyer
denounced the system of paying the pub
lie prosecutor by the convictions secured.

MURDER OF MISSIONARIES

Hardness.
Had the Representative Of Uncle
Sam Acted Promptly the Out
RACES Would Have Ceased.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. GA vigorous
letter relative to the recent outrages on
missionaries at Kucheng, China, was re-
ceived to-day by E. P. Pearce, president OF
the Kentucky Wesleyan College, Win
chester, from DR.. G. f. Reid of Shanghai,
who is presiding elder of the Methodist
Church in that district and an American
citizen. Writing of the massacre he says:
Had our Minister acted promptly and
adequately in the first case the second
would probably not have occurred, and we
should have been spared the spectacle OF
eight young and consecrated women being
dragged from their beds and brutally mas
sacred, helpless infants hacked to death and
faithful servant of God burned to death
in his bed. l wish could put my copy in the
hands of every editor, every Congressman
and every other man who has any interest
in the welfare of the church or the honor
of his country. We don't seek revenge,
but we do ask for justice and the protec-
tion which every American has the right
to demand. Foreigners in China are
unanimous in the belief that little
prompt and vigorous action would at once
put an end to these things. We have lost
all hope OF help from the legation in Pc
king and now appeal directly to Washing
ton"
LONDON, ENG. Sept. GA dispatch to
the Pail Mall Gazette says that the leader
in the Kucheng massacre has been cap
tured by the authorities The total num-
Der thus far arrested for participation in
the outrages at Kucheng is 130, of whom
twenty-three have been convicted.

AN AK WAS HIS WEAPON.
LuRED THEM TO THEIR DEATHS
When Surrounded by the Angry
Avengers the Wretch Sent a
Bullet Through His Brain.

SULLIVAN, IND, Sept. 6.-James Ward
murdered Aaron Hunter, his father-in-
law, and John Hunter, his brother-in-
law, near here last night by splitting their
heads open with an ak, and committed
suicide by shooting when he was sur
rounded by posse determined to lynch
him. The double murderer lured his vic
tins to their death. A domestic quarrel
led to the horrible tragedy.
Last night at II o'clock Ward and Aaron
Hunter were in town and had apparently
patched up disagreement between them.
Ward insisted, however, upon the old man
going to the woods for the purpose of
hunting coons. While the hunt was in
progress and Hunter was sitting on a
stump Ward hit him on the head with an
ak. His head was split wide open.
When Hunter fell Ward struck the pros
trate body again and cut off the head.
The ak sank into the ground. The muir
derer then proceeded to kick the head oi
his victim about, He then went home
awoke his wife and told her to call her
brother, as he and the old man had treed a
coon, and ask him to como and help fell
the tree.
The younger Hunter got up and went out
into the yard, when Ward, with stroke
of the ak, felled him to the ground
Young Hunter died almost instantly with
his head split open.
Ward then told his wife to keep quiet
about the whole affair, that ii she did not
she would suffer the same fate as her
father and brother. Ward then went
about half a mile down the road and
stopped at the Breckels home. He told
Mrs. Breekels that he had killed both the
Hunters. Before many hours the crime
was generally known, and a posse consist
ing of miners and farmers started on the
hunt for Ward, armed with various
weapons.
Ward had two revolvers, and this fact
was known by his pursuers. The posse
became enraged, and when the old mans
body was found the mob became more de-
termined than ever to hang Ward if caught
Just as the posse had located Ward and
surrounded the field in which he had been
hiding single shot was heard. The
posse closed in on the spot whence the
sound had come and found Ward on his
back on the ground, with revolver in
each hand and bullet wound under the
left ear. He was dead.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 6.-Samuel
Morrill,, the captain of the immigrant
transport steamer George Starr, which
took party down the bay
this morning to meet the in
coming Ham mburg-American steamship
Normannia, reports that the Lucania
brought news of having passed
the Normannia on the 4th inst. on the
eastern edge of the banks, broken down
and proceeding to port under one engine.
According to Captain Morrill,, this infor-
nation was received from the doctors boat
at quarantine and from officers on the Lu-
cania. No detailed account of the injury
of the Normannia was obtainable, and in
shipping circles it is hardly credited.
The vessel lett Hamburg on August 30
and was due at this port this morning.
Her cabin and steerage quarters are filled
with returning tourists. The officers of
the Lucania reported that they sighted the
Normannia on Wednesday afternoon, when
her captain signaled that the port engine
was disabled and that they were using the
starboard engine. He expected to make

Chicago Detectives Arrested the Prince of

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 6.-Central sta

in this city to-day in the person of Howard
Castle, alias CASTILLO. alias Raymond. He
is believed to be the most dangerous of
modern check-forgers and there are now
rewards offered for his arrest by police de-
partments of three cities. Castle began
his career in Detroit about ten years ago
by forging the name OF his millionaire
uncle to check for $4,000 and getting the
cash for it. This act landed him in the
Ionia penitentiary for two years. 1t is
said the forger's father represents district
of one of the great Western States in Con-

dollars in squaring up forgeries committed
by his wayward heir. He has been all
over the country and it is believed is
wanted for forgery in no less than dozen

that he was partly reprehensibIe for the
charges against him-culpable ineficiency
in the performance of his duty. There is
no law ne said, specifying what at - cap
