tlined would be allowed to land

also from Naples, also reached the bar at
10 O. clock Sunday night with 1000 more
ON board They were landed at Ellis ISL

fux OF Italian paupers. More than To-
600 have already arrived, and Dc. Senncr

about to sail from Naples R'v. M,iison

so for the Murder of the Meeks Family
BIoodhounds Placed on the Trail OF the
Fleeing Man Fail Co Find Him, Presuma-
bly, Because He Was Met by n Friend
with buggy
CARRoLLToN, Mo-. April A.-Gcorgo
Taylor, who escaped Saturday night,
nineteen days before the day set for his
execution for the brutal murder OF the
Meeks family, is still at large, with little
chance OF being recaptured- His brother
William is still in Jail, which Is heavily
guarded. Fifteen armed strangers have
arrived In town. and Deputy Sheriff
Shelton, fearing an attempt TO lynch the
prisoner has ordered the local militia
company To be In readiness to act. Fifty
men spent all Saturday night and sun
day trailing George Taylor. The blood
hounds traced the trail only quarter OF a
mile out OF town. where some confeder-
ate evidently met him with vehicle. The
dogs again struck the trail four miles
from town near the Wabash tracks, but
after following IL short distance, again
lost it at pond near the Santa Fe rail-
road tracks.
Jumped Passing Train.
Some people believed that George
jumped passing freight here and got out
of the country. An unknown man was
seen to alight from the blind baggage OF
a Santa Fe train later near Marceline.
and hounds have been sent there in hopes
that a clew Is thus furnished. Although
there Is talk of storming the jail, IL Is
not thought that an attempt will be made
right away, at least sunday searching
parties had been To the houses OF the rel
atives of the Taylors that reside in this
county. At cne place there was an indl.
cation that some one had spent part Of
| the night there. This house is being
closely watched. The people OF Brown
| ing were unable TO secure special train,
| but Sunday morning fifteen men came
| from the north. They were heavily armed
| and were preparing for business. Several
| parties have returned from the search.
| but no one could give anything definite.
Not Surprised at the Escape.
George Taylor has two cousins living
| on the river southeast Of Carrollton and
| II George crossed the river it is thought
| that he would attempt 70 cross at that
| point The people of this town are not at
| all surprised at the escape 1t had been
| expected for some time The attorney
general telegraphed here for an affidavit
| from Sheriff stanley about the escape OF
the Taylors This was forwarded Sunday
night. The motion for rehcaring comes
up Tuesday before the supreme court and
this escape will, 1t is believed, prevent II
being heard and makes sure Of the execu'
ton OF Bill Taylor on the Both. 1t is now
conceded on all hands that George Tay
lor was on the roof of the jail at the time
Bill Taylor and Cunningham were capt
ured and that he escaped on the east sid
OF the Jail by climbing down the smoke
stack of the furnace.

said that the desire TO acquire useless
wealth was species OF insanity. Proba-

Early Ad,ournment of Congress.

WASHINGTON. April 1+-An unusually
early adjournment of congress Is being
predicted by the Republican leaders In
both houses, and every sign points to a
fulfillment Of their prophecies. No con-
gress in many years has made the record
for the transaction of routine business
which stands to the credit Of the present
one. SO far as the lower house Is con-
cerned, at any rate. With all of the regu-
lar appropriation bills except two al.
ready passed by the house, with one OF
those remaining reported from the CONE
mittee and likely to be passed with only a
day or two of debate and with the other In
process Of preparation, house leaders are

fund the little girls parents
lying dead in bed. A physician, who was
summonded, said they had died from
