TAKEN HOME FOR BURIAL.
The Remains of Thomas McQuade
 Taken to Long Island CitY

The Remains Of Thomas McQuade
 Taken to Long Island City.
 The identity of the man killed at the Hop brook trestle last Wednesday morning was fnly established Saturday night when his son. Michael McQuade of New York. arrived here and identified the man as his father. The deceased was born iu the County Tyrone. Ireland. in 1880, and came to this country about forty years ago. As his appearance would indicate, he was a man of more than ordinary intelli- gt nee, a skilled mechanic, and until re- gently worked as general utility man in a factory in Long Island City. He was of excellent character and was we'll known and much respected where he lived. He leaves family of two sons and three daughters. Besides these he had two sis ters. with one of whom, Mrs Hugh Carleton, he resided. It was a common practice for him to call on the members of his family, and he also had relatives in Lowell, Mass, to whom he paid frequent visits. The day before he was killed he |, it home, telling his friends that he intended to make trip to Lowell. He had money enough about him to pay his railroad fare, and as he was not drinking man, his son could not account fur his being found on the railroad track. The remains were encased in a beautiful oak casket and shipped to his home yesterday afternoon and will be in tered in the family plot in Calvary ceme- tery. He belonged to family of remarka- ble stature, was ever six feet six inches tall. and brother still living in Ireland measures six feet and seven inches.

?. A BLOODY SHOE.

Belong to the Pastor of the San FranciscO
 Church Where the M urders Were Done.
 SAN5FRANCIsco. April e2.-The police are still busy in picking up the threads and weaving their network of ciroum- stances and eyidence in the Emanuel Bap- tist church cases, sd as to leave no weak mesh through which tho accused can es- cape. for they believe they have the mur- derer in the person of W. H: Durant. It Is now thought they will make an endeav or to try Durant first on the charge of mur- dering Miss Lamont, as the evidence in that case is said to be much stronger against the prisoner than in tho case of the killing of Miss Williams.
 Among the grewsome exhibits in the case is one that was quietly taken to po lice headquarters and locked up. This exhibit is Q shoe, and on Its sole are dark spots of blood that came from the body of Miss Williams The shoe Is the property of Rev. J. George Gibson, pastor of the church, and 1t was found in his study in the ediflce last Sunday just after the find ing of the body of Miss Lamont
 This statement has created a sensation and gives those who have, been limiting that Rev. Gibson may bo the guilty man an opportunity to emphasize their suspi- oionS However. the police do not seem to see in it anything that duplicates the pastor. for they argue that the person who Killed the two girls was familiar with the church, must have known the shoes wore there and may have worn them in his bloody undertaking.

 Two Boys Charged witH Serious CrIms.-EvIdence Heard and the Case Continued Until Saturday, Polics1 court occupied ovan two hours this morning. the trial of the two boys, John Blade and John Hughps. charged with arson. being a strong legal fight in which Attorney Kennedy and Judge Gov ell participated. Both of the boys plead ed not guilty to setting the barn of Charles Daily on fire Saturday night.
 Charles Daily said that the barn was known as l0S Railroad Hill stSeet. There were three houses on the same lot. The barn was low one story structure and con- tained one ton and a half of hay. Frank Lawlor said he and John Daily were standing at the corner of the Daily about o'clock Saturday night, when the Blade boy and Hughes passed by.s They went in the direction of the barn. One minute afterwards Daily went to the rear and discovered the baln on fire and caught young Blade running away. He recog- nized the two boys. t
 John Daily gave virtually the same testi- | mony. He did not, however. recognize Hughes. He did see Blade running away and caught him and said to him: What did you set that barn on fire for" The boy answered: "I didn't. I didn't" Daily, knowing him. let him go and rung the alarm. He could not swear that the boys set the barn on fire. It was set from the rear and the roof where it first ap- peared could be reached easily. from the ground. ..
 Charles Daily again took thsstand and said that the barn was not insured. He had another barn burned last nll.. Chief Saagg said it was undoubtedly a case of incendisrism. Is
 Here Juuge Cowell asked to have the case dismissed. Judge Root said he would pass no decision until the cashwas closed.
 John Blade was put on the stand and told a straightforward storysa He said that he did pass by Daily and Lawlor and that he spoke to them. He went as far as Hughes house and left him aud was re- turning to his own home when Daily jumped out and grabbed him and accused him of setting the barn on fre.. He was not running. He went home after the fire and found Officer Mccarthy and Ahearn awaiting him. They took him to Daily's house where Chief Snagg questioned him. He did not remember what he told Chief Snagg. az
 At this point Attorney Kennedy made a strong objection to allowing any testi- l LuOhS tAae buC OOy hiBut haNo HNoh OhACA Snagg, admitted. '.The oftcers," he said. ''should have notified the boy that he need not say anything that would crimi- nate him., Judge Root overruled the ob- jection. but said if any improper means had been used to extract information he would allow it. tS
 The boy did not remember telling Chief Snagg that he was at the barn before the fire. In reply to a question he said that he smoked cigarettes,
 Chief Snagg testified that the Blade boy told him that night that he was at the barn before the fire, but that he had not started the fire.
 The Hughes boy was not put on the stand.
 The arguments were concluded at q quarter past eleven. Judge Root said that It was such serious charge thst he would adjourn both cases until Saturday morn. l inc

There Ks No Doubt That the Cycllst Was
 Murdered by Kurds.
 PITTsBURG, April 22.-The relatives of Frank Lenz, the Pittsburg cyclist who was making a trip around the world on his wheel for Outing, arc now convinced that he was murdered by the kurds in Armenia at the massacre there. T. P. Langhans, cousin of the wheelman, has just received letter confirming this be- lief. The letter is written by an American medical missionary in Armenia, but his name cannot be given fol fear that the letter might find it's way back to Armenia and his life be endangered. The missionary says the situation Is serious, and that the danger of an outbreak Is imminent. He says the Armenians intend to fight for their liberty.
 Speaking of Lenz, tho missionary says he has reliable information that Lenz was killed last May at Kodrdali. on the Alysh Gird plain, near the famous pass of Deli Baba. The missionary talked with a man who saw LenZ at Katnkalessoh on what the natives said was n two wheeled cart Two days later the man saw tho dead body of the wheelman at Zedikan. From the description given there is little doubt but that it was the body of Lenz The missionary has sent for three men who also saw the body and expects to be able to tell just how Lenz met his death.
