as leader of men and manipulation of
important events was looked upon in

almost Immediately to Rhodesia, to re-

the attention of the politicians. HaV-

MADE HEAVY DEPOSITS OF GOLF
Ten Million Dollars Placed in the New
York Sut-Treasury.

New York, Feb. S.-The news from
Washington that the sub-treasury
would be kept open until II o'clock to
facilitate deposits of gold on account of
the payments for bonds resulted in un-
usual activity for Saturday at that
institution. Between IL and / o'clock
$40, 900 in gold was deposited The
greater part of this was represented by
assay office checks and certificates at
the sub-treasury for examination. A
large proportion of the depositors today
were representatives of foreign bank
ing houses. Indications are that depos-
its on Monday will be very heavy.
The secretary of the treasury today
made public the names of successful
bidders for the new loan, together with
amounts subscribed by each and the
rate offered for 500 with interest from
February 1. The last revision of the
list, completed this evening, reduces the
amount awarded to j. p. Morgan and
his associates by 1872, 100, making their
allotments $33,179, $50. The amount
awarded at each rate has not yet been
ascertained. The successful bidders are

Indianapolis, Feb. 7-William II.
English died at his rooms in the Hotel
English today at IL 35 p. m.
Mr.. English had been Ill with the
grippe for two weeks. Several days ago
rheumatism set in, and the action Of
the heart became bad. While his natu-
rally strong constitution gave friends
strong hope for his recovery, his con-
dition has throughout been considered
grave. For the past three days he had
lapses of Inconsistencies, and since
last night he has been able only at long
intervals to recognize those about his
bedside.
He died in his workshop. Ever since
he erected the hotel he has had his office
in the corner of the hotel in which he
died. The bedroom was just off the
large room In which he managed his
estate and in which he worked and
completed his books. Within five steps
of where he died were great stacks
of papers relating to his private bust
ness and other stacks pertaining to the
historical research he made during the
last few years.

CUT OFF WHEN ALIVE
Head Was Not Severed From q
Dead Woman.
THE PHYSICIANS so DECLARE
scott and Nalling Were Arraigued for
the Murder and Pleaded
Not Guilty.

Cincinnati, Feb. 7.-Although it is
just one week since the decapitatel
body of Pearl Bryan was found near
Fort Thomas. KY, there has been more
excitement today over the tragedy here
and in the Kentucky suburbs than on
any previous day. There has been no
inquest yet as Coroner Tingley of New
port would not give up the body. He
said they wanted to find the head and
also to hold another post-mortem ex-
animation, but that he would deliver
the body to the family If the head had
not been recovered at that time.
There was a post-mortem examina-
ton held today, at which the physi-
clans held that the head of Pearl Bry-
an had been cut off while she was alive
and they could find no trace of the drug.
Jackson said tonight to Mr.. Tibbetts,
secretary of the Y. Nj. c. A.. that Wal
ling was to get $50 for performing an
abortion, but he did not know how he
killed her or what he did with her after
he killed her. He said II did not kill
the poor girl. He is the guilty man."
This confession was delivered to the
chief of police.
PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
Scott Jackson and Alonzo M. Walling,
dental students, were tOudy Drought
into the police court and arraigned on
the charge of murder. Both pleaded
not guilty and were remanded without
bail. William Wood. arraigned on
charge of aiding in committing an abor-
ton, pleaded not guilty and was held
in $4,000 bail, which will be given in a
short time.
The hypodermic syringe with which
Walling says Jackson gave the girl
an injection to kill her has been found
in Jackson's room, together with bot
tie containing a fluid, the nature of
which has not yet been determined
BURIED IN A SANDBAR.
Alonzo Walling, one of the suspects
for the murder of Pearl Bryan, today
confessed that all the clues he fur
nished as to the head of the decapitat-
ed woman were misleading. He said:
1T is buried in a sandbar at Dayton
suburb, near Fort Thomas, on the Ken
lucky side of the river. Jackson often
spoke of that sandbar as good place
| to hide anything. Detectives and la
borers were sent to the sandbar to
search for the head.

KILLED AN ENTIRE SCHOOL soARo
BENJAMIN RadcIiff Was Hanged at
CANYON City for the Crime.

Canyon City, Colo. Feb. 7.-Benjamin
Radcliff the slayer of the entire school
board of jefferson district. Park county,
was hanged at the penitentiary tonight.
The drop fell at sos o'clock.
The crime for which Benjamin Rad
cliff suffered death was one of the most
startling in the history of Colorado.
Prompted by a desire for revenge for
what he considered grievous wrongs he
deliberately shot down in the school
house at Jefferson. Park county. the
three members of the school board,
Samuel Taylor. Lincoln E. McCurdy
and George ID. Wyatt.
The cause of the trouble was the cir
culation of reports of alleged criminal
Intimacy between Radcliff and his
motherless daughter, girl of IS.
These stories Radcliff attributed to
McCurdy. He had also a fancied griev-
ance against the other members of the
board over the location of the school
house.
May 6, 1895, was election day in the
district and Radclif went to the school
house at an early hour. carrying Win
chester rifle. He waited until the three
members of the board arrived to open
the polls. He entered the building and
announced that he wanted a reckoning.
A heated discussion ensued which end
ed by Radcliff shooting the others down,
one after another. None of the victims
were armed and as Radcliff stood be-
tween them and the door, there was no
escape. Wyatt was shot once and fell,
but lived long enough to tell the story
of the tragedy.
Radcliff was arrested and was only
saved from lynching by being taken to
a neighboring county. His trial was in
Chaffee county on a change of venue.

RECEIVER BUR.eI6H SPEAKS OUT
successfully Refutes the Charges Made
ny Eastern Papers.

by Eastern Papers.
Seattle, Feb. Accommodating today
on the charges which eastern papers
have recently made against him, Re-
ceiver A. F. Burleigh, of the Northern
Pacific, said:
THESE charges are unjust and injur-
ious, not only to me, but to the interests
of the road and of this entire section
of the country. The statement that
was planning visit to the eastern
judges was made out of whole cloth.
The charge that l was fitting up
special car for such a visit possibly
grew out of my application for a single
business car, which l wished to have
fitted up in the Tacoma shops, as a
specimen of the work and material for
inside furnishing available here. The
charge that l was trying to boom Taco
ma by reviving the car shops there is
equally unfounded. We have the finest
plant in the country there, capable of
employing 1900 men, and of turning out
the best cars for the same cost in Am
erica.
1.-TWO cars of freight are now moving
east to one west. 1t would be economy
for the road to build its cars here. and
thus save double freight. This criti-
cism comes largely from our building
establishments in the east There is g
mutually between the interests of the
road and any community property
which it touches. My plan as a receiv-
er has been to conduct the property 50
as to merit the appreciation of the
courts and of the beneficiaries of trust
which l have held. l am willing to be
judged by my record; but I prefer to
have the judgment passed by impartial
people, and not by those who seem bent
on condemning me regardless of
facts"

A RumOr Which Agitates Northern Pa
cific and Tacoma People.
Tacoma Feb. 7.-Rumors have been
flying thick and fast all over the city
today that Hugh Wallace. national
democratic committeeman for the state
Of Washington, had been appointed or
was to be appointed receiver of the
Northern Pacific system. Telephones
have been kept hot at the newspaper
offices and railroad headquarters with
inquiries as to the truth. Wallace and
the railroad officials strongly assert
that they have no knowledge of the
matter. although there are many who
claim to know that there is much truth
in the rumor.
1t is known that Wallace has been an
active applicant for the position. with
strong Endorsements. The fact that his
father-in-law is Chief Justice Fuller, of
the United States supreme court. whose
influence with other justices would have
weight, lends strength to the rumor.

Walla Walla, Wash, Feb. THE case
