SHOT HIS WIFE DOWN.
Pcrkpile Makes a Bad Matter Worse by
Committing Murder.

Committing Murder.
Sidney, o., April pa startling
tragedy occurred in the Jail here this
morning. John Perkpile is a hunted
wife slayer. and the body of his vic
tim lies in the morgue. The Perkpiles
were young people and enjoyed the
best of regulations. The husband is
successful business man and the wife
was beautiful woman. 1t was sup
posed that they. lived happily. Last
Tuesday Perkpile left home on a busi-
ness errand and last night he received
a telegram announcing that his wife
was in Jail awaiting his assistance He
arrived here at o'clock this morning
and was crushed to learn the cause of
his wife's arrest. Thursday night the
police made raid on disreputable
house and captured a number of men
and women, among whom was Mrs.
Perkpile. She had gone to the house
in company with a lover. When told
of his wife's infidelity Perkpile start
ed for the Jail. He asked for an inter-
view with his erring wife and was con-
Quoted to her cell. AS he approached
it his wife caught sight of him and be-
gan to weep Historically.
"Oh, John, L" began the poor wo-
man, as her husband came to stand
still before the grated cell door.
There was flash and the report OF
a revolver cut short her exclamation
With piercing scream the wretched
woman fell dead on the stone floor.
The Jail officers We're horror stricken,
and in the confusion Perkpile escaped.
No one noticed in what direction he
went. Immediately several posses
were organized and began hunt, but
no trace of him has yet been secured.
The bullet struck squarely in the center
of his wife's heart, and she was dead
before her body struck the floor.

TIGHTENING THE CHAIN.
Witnesses Examined In the Murder Case
Against Durant Chief Crowley's Opin-

Against Durant-- Chief CrOwlcy's Opin-
ion.
San Francisco, April 26-There was
as large crowd as ever at the Durant
examination today. The defense ap-
parently have no hope Of preventing
the prisoner being held and are devot-
ing their efforts to obtaining informa-
ton for use at the trial.
Elmer Wolfe was the first witness
this morning. He repeated the story
| told at the inquest of his being present
at DR.. Vogers on the night of the muir
der. Durant arriving about $50, leav-
ing the house with Durant and sew
eral young ladies'. of accompanying
Miss Low home. and about midnight
seeing man who resembled the ac-
cused near the church.
During Wolfes cross-examination
he was requested to take off his coat,
but refused to do 50. Counsel for the
defense appealed to the court and
Wolfe finally removed the garment.
He then admitted to counsel that 1t
bore resemblance to the one worn by
Durant. On the night in question wit
ness wore a dark coat and vest and
light trousers, which were now at the

JEALOUS FOREIGN POWERS
Show a Disposition to Deprive Japan
of Fruits of Victory.
FRIENDLY ADVICE IS OFFERED
Russia. France ana Germany Think Tint
Japanese Occupation Of Liu Tong
Would lie n Monaco to the
Peace Of the East.

London, April 26.-The latest and
most direct information from authori-
tative sources as to the precise status
of the negotiations between Russia,
France. Germany and Japan, received
here Is as follows
The Russian. French and German
ministers separately interviewed the
Japanese vice minister for foreign af-
fairs under instructions from their re-
spective governments and presented
memoranda, In which 1t was stated that
the governments of Russia, France and
Germany. upon examining the terms
of peace imposed by Japan upon China,
found that the possession of the penin-
sula of I.iu Tong, claimed by Japan,
would be constant menace to the
capital of China, and at the same time
would threaten the Independence of
Corea and render 1t nOn-effective in
fact. In this sense, and for other rea-
sons, 1t was stated. 1t would be con-
stant menace to the permanent peace
of the far east. Consequently the gov
ernments of France, Russia and Ger
many, desiring to show their sincere
friendship for the government of Japan.
advise it to renounce the absolute and
final possession of the peninsula of Liu
Tong The memoranda of the three
governments make it plain that they
are presented in the way of friendly ad-
vice to the Japanese governmnt, and
are not intended in any way to convey
any open or covert menace.
Great Britain and Italy viii Keep OFF.
The impression is gaining ground that
Japan can rely upon the friendly coun-
sci of the United States at the present
moment. The governments of Great
Britain and Italy have made it plain
that they do not intend to follow the
example of Russia, France and Ger
many, and the great commercial in
terests of the United States In the far
east. which the Japanese-Chineset treaty
of peace would largely benefit, no less
than theconstant attitude of the United
States toward Japan, lead diplomats
to believe that the United States at
this juncture will not fail to make such
use of it's good offices as will prevent
Japan from being deprived of the fruits
of her victory.
The treaty of peace has already been
ratified by the emperor of Japan and it
would be extremely difficult to make
any change The only effect of Rus
sia's. Frances and Germany's attitude
must be to encourage the party in
China which is opposed to any mod
crate and reasonable settlement, and
thus TO proIong the var Indefinitely
1t may be stated in the most positive
terms that the reports thus far circu-
lated regarding Japan's renlv IN tho
powers are incorrect. The reply had
not been sent as late as the evening of
the 26th, and from intimatons received
from the highest and most reliable
sources here 1t may be stated that the
reply. while moderate and conciliatory
in tone, will not contain any recession
from what Japan regards as rghtfully
her due.

IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.

tinucs 10 Throw Lime Lights Upon In.
creasing Business.
New York. April 26.-R. G. Dun G.
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say: Neither the rising In
speculative markets nor the steady
gain In industries has ceased, and 1t Is
wholesome that there are fewer signs
Of hesitation In the productive indus
tries than In speculative prices. Wages
strikes grow more numerous and cause
some trouble. and retail demand lags
behind wholesale sales and jobbing pur
chases behind production In some
branches. but through many conflict
ing reports the fact shines out that
the industries are gaining, not with a
rush and whirl. but more safely.
1t Is less clear that railroads are in
creasing their earnings, or that other
production of cotton will be cured by
the advance Of 1% cents in price, or that
cornering short sellers Of wheat will
help to market the large surplus. But
revival of activity in all these direc-
tions, If possibly excessive in some re-
spects, helps confidence to take the
throne so long held by distrust.
Recovery is not often mathematically
quotable. When the load of depression
is lifted, and men find that better
things have come to stay, there must
be many contradictory changes. Quite
number of works have advanced
wages during the week. but strikes to
compel an advance, possible for some
but not for others, have grown much

ing for want of orders, but larger
number are resuming work. Prices Of
shoes and cotton goods are rising. Wool
and woolens are lower.
Iron production, stimulated because
ore, coke and oil were to be dearer, Is
retarded by shrinking demand for pro-
ducts, for on the whole new business
Is said to be smaller than In February
or March. The structural demand for
buildings throughout the country was
never larger. The frenzy In oil has
started large demand for pipe, and
sheets slightly advanced. Rails are
stagnant, though a shade better at
Chicago; wire for fencing, for rails
and wire rods are so dull as to be
scarcely quoted, and bar, though lifted
a shade meets no increased demand.
London bought about $6,0O0,000 worth
Of stocks and bonds here this week.
But the coal roads again failed to
agree and the lowest prices of the year
prevail for that product. The aggre-
gate Of all roads reporting in April is
but 1.6 per cent. better than last year,
and 1874 per cent. less than in 1893
Failures for the week have been 230
in the United States against 179 last
year, and 81 in Canada against 26 last
year.

told his host, William Greer Harrison,
that the Whitechapel murderer was a

noticed that the horrid murders coin

appearances and that traces of blood
We're on him when he returned.
Professional friends were called In
and one of them stated to the supposed
murderer the facts in his own case and
persuaded him that he was the guilty
person. He could not deny his guilt, for
he was aware that certain periods in
his life were blank. He was locked up
