TROUSERS AND KNIFE FOUND.
Las, Evidence Which Proves That
Ford's Confession Ii True.

Detectives Weldon and Horne discov-
cred today the trousers worn by Ford the
day he killed Elsie Kreglo and the knife
that slashed her throat. II is the last link
in the chain of evidence which has been
woven around the murderer.
This morning Detectives Weldon and
Horne went TO his house on the Burnt Mills
road with Mr.. George McCcney, the tax
collector of Montgomery county, who has
taken such interest in the case, and Mr..
Morgan Butler. The party went to the
loft OF the house and began search for the
trousers Ford wore on Monday when he
met the girl.
They noticed board loose in the floor,
and on pulling it up, discovered a pair
OF trousers of coarse woolen cloth stained
with dark splotches. IL was blood, the
blood OF Elsie KregIo. The stains were all
down both legs.
The knife is an ordinary black-bandled,
one, with two blades. One biade. an
inch long, and the other, the one that killed
the girl, two and half inches long.
Where the blade fastens to the handle are
faint spots, looking like rust, but the mi
croscope shows them to be blood-stains.
The knife was handed the detectives by
Ford's brother. When they came down
stairs Detective Weldon began question
ing him about the knife. and after some
hesitation hethrusthis hand into his pocket
and pulled it out. Ford's brother said the
murderer gave the knife to his wife and
she handed it to him.
Ford's wife denies to the detective that
her husband told her he had assaulted a
white woman and cut her. She said this
morning that he told her he had committed
an act compelling him to go away for
awhile.

TO ISDICT THE TREASURER.
Camden Grand Jury So Instructed by
Judge GarriSon.

Judge Garrison.
Camden, n. j., May 9.-Judge Garrison
called the grand jury before him and called
their attention to Irregularities in the Of
flee of the city treasurer of Camden and
gave practically instructions to find an i'll
dictmeut against Frank F. Mcheilon for
embeZZlemeut and malfeasance in office
provided the facts alleged by the experts
who have been LeXowing the city are sub
stantiated by the proor to be presented by
the State.
He said this report would show that the
treasurer had received $500, 600 and had
omitted all reference to il on tie cash book,
ana there was no record of its expenditure:
that lie had paid out 100000 on city or
ders not signed by the proper officials; that
he had paid out Sl5 900 without any or
ders; had allo wed notes to lay i'll bank as
long as ten years, dra wing interest, willie
the city had money on deposit to take them
up, and for from two to five years had
failed To have any settlement made with
the banks with whom tie city keeps its aC-
counts.
He Also instructed them to inquire into
the work OF the Comptrollers. and prac-
tically instructed them to indict such
comptroller whose terms were covered by
the treasurer's alleged ire gulari tie 5.
The statute only permits them to go back
five years, hence Frederick a. Rex, also
treasurer of the school hoard, and Charles
II. Holiinshed are the only comptrollers
who are liable to be involved. City Off
cials claim that Michellon is only actually

POLITICS ON CHANGE.

Belief in Sound Money Platform Made
Market Firm.
New York, May 9.-Speculation at the
Stock Exchange was entirely professional
this morning, but the undertone was firm
on belief that the st. Louis platform will
be strongly in favor of sound money. Lon
don houses did little or nothing in the local
market aud commission firms were with
out orders.
Room traders who have been selling the
market during the past week on the gold
shipments were endeayoring to cover up
their contracts, but they found the supply
of stocks at going figures quite small. The
particularly strong stocks were Manhattan,
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, La
clede Gas. the Grangers, Western Union and
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg. The last
named was unusually active and advanced
per cent to51 for the preferred. The COM
mon brought 20,
The improvement otherwise ranged from
l-Sto5-S per cent. At11 o'clock speculation
was dull apd firm.
The STOCK market developed little more
animation as the session drew to a close
and the increase in business was accom-
panied by further advance in prices.
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg pre-
ferred rose 3 to So, making the net
gain for the day Z points. Consolidated
Gas advanced from 159 to 16O and La
Clede Gas from 26 1-2 to 29. The net
changes show gains of 1-S to 5-S per cent
list, 3-4 in La Cledc Gas and in Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg preferred. Specu-
lation closed firm in tone.

FORD'S TRIAL.
His Case VIII Go TO the Grand Jury
Next Week.


Next Week.
1t was learned at the District attorneys
office this morning that Ford's case will
be brought to the attention OF the grand
Jury next Monday or Tuesday, and the in
dictment ma y be expected to be drawn up
by the middle of the week or shortly after
wa rd.
Mayor Burleigh of Harper's Ferry and Mr..
Cross, who figured in the arrest of the mur-
derer, We're before Mr.. Birney again today
aud will come back to Washington next
week to testify before the grand jury. That
the jurors will return presentment against
Ford is almost beyond peradventure of a
doubt.
Il think it may be safely said he will
be called upon TO stand trial by the 1st
of June,"' said one of the officials in
the office. There is a desire to ex-
pedite matters as much as possible. An
Indictment can he returned before next
week is up, Ford will probably not have
counsel, and the court will have to ap-
point one for him.
1.-The attorney will, Of course. have to
be given time to prepare his defense, and
that may take week or ten days. He
will be given speedy trial. though, you
may be assured OF that."'
