torney, and I will have him investigate
this business, and if l can find out who
wrote this l will take steps to punish
them,
"lf. on investig alton, am convinced
that these letters originated with or were
instigated by the prosecution, will give
the man new trial on this ground
alone, if no other. I don't intend to
have people think that the administra-
ton of justice can be Influenced by any
threats"
Attorney Schaffer, at this point, said

father, tells me that he aIso got letter."

MULVANE TO~GET 1T.
Tho Topeka Banker Has Bought the Mort
Cages on the Capital.

Tho Topeka Banker Has Bought the Mort
cages on the Capital.
John R. Mulvane has bought tn e
mortgages against the Topeka Daily
Capital held by Mrs. P. B. Plumb and C.
c. Baker. Mrs. Plumb's mortgage was
for $4,000 and c. C.. Bakers for $40, $50
This fact came out in answers filed in
the United States circuit court today by
Mr.. Mulvane to the action for a re-
ceiYer. Mulvane held $4,000
mortgage himself and this prac-
tically gives him control of the indebt-
edness of the company, though there
is another $4,000 mortgage held by E B.
Merriam, but it is understood this will be
contested.
This means, says one of the attorneys.
that Mr.. Mulvane has secured control of
the Capital, and that Major ]. K. Hudson
will retire. The paper may be turn ed
over to Mr.. Mulvane this week.
Major J. K. Hudson when asked about
the transaction late this afternoon, said:
81 really do J not like to - talk
about it just yet as there are some
things which are =. not yet fully
determined. | will say, however, that
it is business transaction which is
entirely friendly to me and my
interests. There is nothing Pc
litical in the transaction and
the policy of the paper will remain
about the same as it has been. do not
know just when the changes will
take place if there are to be
any; that has not yet been
fully determined. 1t may be in one
week and it may be in two weeks.
Whether l am to retire from the editor
ship has not yet been settled"

VALLEY FALLS FIRE.
Destructive Blaze Destroys Much Proper
ty, IncIuding Many Horses.

ty, Including Many Horses.
VALLEY FALLS, Kan, Nov. 4-Last
night this city was visited by destruc-
tive fire, the third to occur here within
the space of. year. At o'clock the
fire alarm was sounded. A. Har
mans barn was on fire. A high
wind from the south was blowing, and
the building was soon mass
of flames. The fire gained such head
way that it was almost impossible TO do
anything to save the building north of
the livery stable, and blacksmith shop,
skating rink and the residence of VIM.
McGinnis was afire aud nothing was
saved. Eighteen head of horses burned
in the livery stab bic ak head belonging
to Dir. Harman and Welve head 10 out
side parties.
DIR. England and DIR. Marks both lost
their driving teams and 5uggies. Every
thing in the stable was total loss. An
effort was made to save some of the
horses by the man in charge of the
stable who first discovered the fire but
as fast as they were led 10 the door they
would break away from him and run
back into the death trap The imple-
menG ware room of L. Schmitt caught
fire and was soon total wreck. Mr..
Schmitr, moved all his hardware goods
out of his brick store room, but his loss
will be heavy with no insurance on the
ware room; Z. NJ. Taylor's harness shop
was damaged by smoke and water and
stolen goods TO the amount of about
$4,000. J. Beeson's poultry house was a
total loss, and he will loss several hundred
dollars. David Nuttings lost his barn
and Happy Heir colt For time it
looked as though the entire business por-
ton of tho town on the north side of
Broadway street would be ruined but the
', ind remained favora BILE and the citizens
gave good assistance to the fire depart
ment. the loss will. foot up into the
thousands. Mr. McGinnis and family
did not save thing from their home and
they had narrow escape from death.

IN. Clemens Pross snvs:

The Mt. Clemens Press says:
can exchange SAYS the ministers of
Port Huron have formed n combina-
ton to regulate the holding and con-
ducting of funerals. The main points
of their series of resolutions are: No
Sunday funerals; in leading the pro-
cession to the cemetery a covered car
riage or sleigh must be provided;
casket Is not to be opened at either
the church or the cemetery, and that
they are to be consulted in regard to
the funeral services as soon after the
death as possible. They ought TO have
gone one step further and agreed to
charge for every funeral conducted
for noD-church supporters. We look
upon il as an imposition to ask a min
ister of the gospel to prepare himself
and conduct a funeral service in a
family where none of them pay a cent

tended meeting OF the most representative
business men Of the city. held st the
chamber Of commerce tonight. a delega-
tion Of fifteen was appointed to attend the
currency convention at Memphis on May
%.
The size and character OF the meeting
completely exploded the claim that At

the bankers. The delegation will be head
ed by Hon. G. A. Collier, president Of ths

willing 10 accept the proposition of free
and unlimited coinage at 16 to i. The en-
tire delegation of fifteen will attend tha
convention.
There has been so much newspaper mis-
representation Of the views OF the business
men OF Atlanta on the currency question
that they feel IL high time TO repudiata
the false position in which they nave been
put, and the delegation that goes TO Mem-
phis viii go fun of enthusiasm, realizing
that they have an important duty to per-
form.

lion. W. 9. Glenn introduced II. II.
Boggs of Memphis, who addressed the
meeting on the objects OF the Memphis
convention. In his remarks he scored the
Constitution for malignant references to
him since he undertook the task OF in
toresting the southern states In the Mem
phis convention. That paper had ridi-
cuied him as an unknown statesman, af-
fecting to be unacquatnted with the fact
that he never made any pretensions to
politics or statesmanship. To show the
injustice OF this treatment, Mr.. Boogs
said he was for six years the correspon-
dent OF the Constitution and the dlscour-
teous treatment he received was DELHI
crate for the purpose OF discrediting him
In his present work.
Resolutions were introduced declaring
against free coinage at l6 to l, but mas
much as the delegation goes uninstructcd,
they were Withdrawn.
