died without a struggle, but, there were
evidences that the girl had made fierce
light with her inhuman mother.
Annie said that when her mother went
away she cautioned the girl not to go to
bed, and not to say anything about her ab-
sence. Mr. Williams arrived last even

immigration to tho South.

BALTIMORE, April "A well known
eastern passenger agent states that the
heavy travel south is still steadily increas-
ing, and for the next five years would
equal that of the most noted periods of
immigration to the west and northwest
The southern roads are following the tao
tics of the western and northwestern lines
to secure the settlement of people on their
respective lines. They are spending CON
siderable money advertising the resources
of the section and furnishing information
to prospective settlers, as we'll as allowing
reduced rates.

CINCINNATI, April 2.-Returns from
municipal elections throughout the state
show Republican victories in nearly all
cities. A few women were elected to boards
of education in cities of central Ohio but
as rule the women voters did not turn
out in great force. At Martins Ferry, out
of 1900 women voters, only forty-nine
went to the polls. This is fair average
of the female vote throughout the state.

THE SILVER DISCUSSION.


CHICAGO, July 26.-The Horr- Harvey
silver dispute was continued yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Horr opened the discussion
and Mr.. Harvey then resumed the discus
sion of the question of primary and credit
money. The amount of gold in the United
States he estimated at S4OO, coo, 600 to $780,
100000, and of our credit money about
81, 200, 600, 600 This was too much credit
money, he said, and accounted for the
country's financial arrangement,
Mr.. Horn continued by saying that up
to the present Mr.. Harvey had not said a
single word in proof of the actual subject
of dispute. Mr.. Horn declared that Mr..
Harvey's subject was not so much to build
up silver as to pull down gold. The nor
NAL mount of money necessary for the
transaction of the businessof the country,
said Mr.. Harvey, was "a, 500, 900, 900. AS
matters now stand he said that the banks
were lending and getting interest OH two
dollars for every dollar in circulation.
Mr.. HoTr said that the question whether
the banks were a curse to the country
would be discussed in its proper place, and
Mr.. Harvey would probably be Disguised
with himself, when it was done, for hav'
ing brought the matter up.
The debate finally adjourned at Mr.
Horr's request until Saturday.

brothers murdered while Asleep.

BROOKsvILLE, Fla, July 26.-News has
just reached here of the killing on Tues
day of Daniel and Crockett Whidden,
brothers, at a cedar camp. 1t is supposed
that their death was the result of a feud
that had been raging for years among the
Whiddens, Whitehursts and ~Stevensons,
three families who have intermarried and
who are we'll known all along the gulf
coast. The two men who were Killed were
overseeing some work in Camp, and slept
in rude shelters of palmettos. The muir
derers crept up during the night and fired
on the sleeping men, killing them in
stantly. The murderers escaped.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-The steamer
City of Picking has arrived from China
and Japan via Honolulu, bringing the
Honolulu advices to July Is. Princess
Kaiulani VIII not get her pension. This
was practically decided on the 18th inst,
when the senate referred all pensions and
permanent settlements to the regular ses-
sion. The item was 81, 300 per annum, to
commence with April last. Ministers
Hatch and Smith made futile arguments
in support of the item. Smith hoped the
time would come when the legislature
would vote an allowance TO Liliuokalani.
Minister Smiths remarks about the queen
is construed to mean that she will soon be
liberated.

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.-District At
torney Graham decisively announced this
morning that H. H. Holmes will be tried
in this city for the murder of Benjamin f,
PiUezel in the Callowhill street house. In
view of the fact that the district attorney
has said that Holmes would be tried
wherever the strongest case could be made
out against him, it is believed that the
authorities here have recently learned
more important details of the crime, which
insure the accused mans conviction. In
formation as to whether or not this sup
position is correct was refused.

Abuses at Haverhilps Almshouse.

H|AvERHILL, Mass, July 26.-Rumors
which for the past week have been rife
about mismanagement of the city's aims
house reached a climax last night, when,
at n special joint meeting of both branches
of the city government, an investigation
into the management of the institution
was ordered, upon motion of Alderman
Allen. Mr.. Allen stated that "A delega-
ton visited the almshouse. Among other
things they found a semi-paralytic inmate
named Daughton lying IN a filthy bed
under a tree. They asked Superintendent
Savage TO loosen the mans shirt. This was
done and frightful sores were disclosed.
A closer examination brought TO light
the fact that portions of the mans body
were actually honeycombed with vermin.

MRS. CONNER'S MURDER
Further Evidence to Fasten the
Crime on H. H. Holmes,
IMPORTANT LETTERS DISCOVERED.

Holmes Wrote Letters to the Dead wo-
mans Relatives to Deceive Them as to
Her whereabouts-The Prisoner VIII be
Tried for Murder In Philadelphia.
CHICAGO, July 26.-More proof was
found yesterday that Julia L. Conner is
dead, and that she was made way with by
H. II. Holmes. 1t was determined that
she disappeared before June 8, 1Sg2-an
important factor in the search for her. As
late as November, 1892, Holmes, as shown
by the letters which have been found, was
writing her parents as to her where
abouts, and stating hat she had gone to
st. Louis. But on June ., 1892, he wrote
to her ~brother.in law, Ira Yantis, of Wau-
kesba, Wis, giving him a fictitious ad.
dress as to her whereabouts in st. Louis.
Yantis wrote back to Holmes on June 9,
and this letter was found on Wednesday.
At that time Yantis had no suspicion
that Holmes had made away with his sis
~ter-in-law, and supposed him to be her
friend. This letter was written three
weeks before the one in which l. l.. Con
ner accused Holmes of breaking faith with
him. The later letter refers to his daugh-
ter Pearl. From this it would appear that
Mrs. Conner was killed first and the child
afterwards.
/. L. Conner, the husband of Julia L.
Conner and the father Of Pearl Conner,
both of whom are thought to have been
murdered by Holmes, was in Chicago yes
terday, and The Inter Ocean today pub
fishes "A long interview with him. He has
no positive proof that Holmes killed his
wife and child, but says he believes such
to be the case. He does not know when
the crime was committed, but thinks ii
was done in this city. Corners story con-
tains practically nothing but what has
been published.
Last evening two well dressed women
called on Chief Radenoch and told him
that a 16-year-old girl, a daughter of
wealthy and respectable parents, had be-
come acquainted with Holmes during the
fall of 1893, and afterwards disappeared.
Now, that Holmes crimes have been ex-
posed her parents believe that their daugh-
ter was one of his victims. Chief Raden.
och will investigate their story. Until he
has fully corroborated it, however, hesays
he will not disclose the girls lame.

who murdered their mother about three
weeks ago by ~stabbing her while she was
