A MYSTERY EXPLAINED
The Chicago Double Murder a Case Of Here
Laziness


Lazin.ss
CHICAGO, March 9.-Late this afternoon
Mrs. Cummings of 313 Fourteenth street
identified the dead body or tue man found
in barrel yesterday, with the corpse of
an infant, as that of her husband. He had
been an inmate of the poor house for two
years. The police have abandoned the
theory of murder, 1t being known that the
mutilation was done by medical students.
After Cummings died in the poor house
the death was advertised in the usual man
ner, but he had gone to the institute under
an assumed name, and the body was not
claimed. 1t was then, according to GUS
tom, sent to a hospital, the Harding med.
cal hospital being the recipient. The stu
dents finished their work with it and an
expressman was paid to take it away. He
was too lazy to tury it and dumped it
where it was found.
Regarding the body OF the infant, the
hospital authorities say that some time ago
an unknown man called Mt the hospital,
saying that he had the body of bary
which he would donate to the hospital. A
boy was sant with the man and brought
back the body. 1t was also given to the
expressman to be buried with that of Cum
mings.
The police tonight found the man who
gave the infants hody to the hospital. His
name is John Mcdonald. and after he
proved that the child was his legitimate sen
and had died from natural causes, he was
released.

Baller, secretary of the United States lega-
ton; the agent here of the Maritime Canal
company of Nicaragua, MIR. Werzer, the

field of Nagarote today and were present

was enthusiastically received.
The president afterward conferred high
honors on the officers who distinguished
themselves in the recent battle. and in
spected the camp and lines of defense for
the next battle with the Leonists. 1t is
possible that no further advance will be
made until the troops from Honduras are
in position to assist the troops of Me

Acting President Baca of the rebel army
has sent protest to all the Central Amer

Weissin yer's Last Words

CINCINNATI, March "a Commercial
Gazette special from Frankfort, KY, says
The last words of Senator Weissineer. as
spoken to his colleague, Senator Violet,
and reported by that senator, were: "vio-
lett. stand firm, stand firm; never vote for
Blackburn and free silver.'
Richard w. Knott, editor of the Louis.
vile Post. SAID in substance:
''Senator Weissenger's friends, who
stood out with him, along with those who
thought as he did but deserted him, owe it
to themselves. to their country and to the
cause, to take good heed that these who
malizned him and worried him to the
grave shall not profit by his untimely
death"
Brief funeral services were held over his
body late this evening at the home of Mrs.
W. 7. Scott. At $3.50 a. m. tomorrow the
body will be escorted by committees on q
special train to Louisville.
One striking incident in the joint session
was the proposition of Speaker Blanford to
exclude from the joint session all but
members and journalists, ''in order" he
said, ito prevent a repetition of last Sat-
urday's intimidation of sound-money Dem.
ocrats.H
Before the echo of his last words died
away Senator Violet was on his feet. He
said, with emphasis: mo- sir, Mr.. Speaker,
they do not intimidate US they only tried
it, but did not succeed"

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The blue book

ary, published by the British government,
has reached Washington, and advanced
copies are now in possession of the British
ambassador and the state department..
There are in reality two volumes, one Of
about 45O pages of text and another con-

stance of the former has been we'll set out
in the abstract Of the volumes sent by
cable by the Associated Press from LON

As to the charts, they are exceedingly in
terestipg to the cartographist by reason Of
the fidelity with which these quaint draw

are reproduced in color. but as far as new
matter is concerned they are distinct dis

sion is in possession of all of the data con.
tanned in the charts, thanks to their sys-
tematic effort to collect all of the Informs
ton obtainable by their own exertions.
A significant feature of the charts thus
furnished from British sources is that one
and all appear to define the limits Of
Dutch settlements almost entirely to the
east of the Pomaron river, and TO show
that up to the close of the last century
the only settlement in the neighborhood
of that river was one on the east bank
and established by the Spanish Capu-

DURRANT'S CASE

Long Delay Before the Final Decision The
Prisoners Occupation
SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-On April 9th
next year will have passed since the MUIR
der of Blanche Lamont, and yet Theodore
Durrant, who was convicted of her murder
last November, is still in the county Jail
waiting the final action of the state su-
preme court in the case. Immediately
after Durrant's conviction an appeal was
taken, but the case has not yet been pre-
ssnted to the supreme court, owing to a re-
quest for additional time made by both
sides. The last postponement took place
a week ago, when the prosecution was
granted twenty DAYS in which to file bill
of exceptions. At the end of this time it is
believed the case will be presented to the
supreme court, but decision is not 'ex-
pected for several months. Durrant was
sentenced to he hanged on February . st,
but the Glow manner in which justice is
meted out to murderers in this state makes
it probable that be will not meet his death
much before the close of this year. Mean
while the prisoner is spending his time in
the county jail much the same as the rest
Of the inmates. He has few visitors and
devotes most of his time to reading and
writing. He has written history of his
life and lately he is said to have begun the
study of law.

Determined Rioters

MADRID, March 9.-The turbulent ele-
ment in the city of Blboa, which created
disturbances yesterday, continued to defy
the authorities today and made violent
demonstrations in spite of the armed threat
of the gendarmes. Disorders were renewed

termination to Illustrate the attempt and
succeeded. But this was not done without
serious collision between the mob and
tho gendarmes, in which twenty of the for
mer are known to have been injured,
though it is not stated any fatalities re-
suited. Nine of the gendarmes were also
injured. With this rebuff the mob
drew off.
But the inhabitants of Bilboa are still in
turbulent mood, and the police authori-
ties find it necessary to make every pre-.
caution to guard against injury being done

Elsewhere in Spain the situation bears
more tranquil aspect, and the question
of the action of the United States on Cuba
is regarded in a calmer mood. A report
found currency today that the United
States minister, Mr.. Taylor, had left Mad.
rid, but this proved to be wholly without
foundation. dispatch from Havana says
the insurgents are in demoralized con-
dition and are seeking flight toward the
eastward portion of the island.
