One Hundred Theories Regarding
Recent Murder.

One Hundred Theories Regarding
n Recent Murder.
CINCINNATI. Feb. "A hundred
different clues to the murder and be-
heading of woman near Fort Thomas
on Friday night are floating today.
Many of them have been traced to a
worthless origin. The sheriff of Camp
bell county, KY. and all the detectives
on both sides of the river are working
on the case. Not single arrest has
been made and not a single suspicion
has settled upon any man as the perpe-
traitor. nor has any thread been dis
covered likely to lead to the identifica-
ton CT the woman. All the ponds, as
we'll as the Covington reservoir, have
been dragged. The water is going out
of the reservoir, as it has been for
twenty-four hours. 1t will be well
toward noon tomorrow before ii will
be empty; then search in the mud for
the head can be made. Meantime ru-
NOR is busy on all the streets to-
night. One story generally circulated
is that the head has been found and
that the murderer a Fort Thomas SOL
dier, had committed suicide. Investi
cation at first hand has shown this 10
be wholly false. There is one theory
of which there is a general agreement.
and that is the woman was murdered
in an attempt to take either money or
papers from her person. This infer
ence is justified by the signs Of a
struggle and the torn condition Of the
woman's clothing.

NIAYBRICK,s CASE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Andrew H.
H. Dawson of New York, who is great
ly interested in securing the release of
Mrs. Maybrick, confined in an English
prison on a charge of numbering her
husband, is in the city. He says the
next attempt to secure the womans re-
lease will be made by the Masons and
Roman Catholics and that the efforts
will be made along the same lines as
those followed in the past. The same
evidence will be used but certain addi-
tional facts favorable to the woman
that have been ascertained will be pro-
duced. Mr.. Dawson makes grave
charges against some of the British Of
f1ciats, which he will embody in a book
to be issued in Mrs. Maybriclk's behalf
He is obtaining funds necessary for the

One Vast Sea.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 1.-The I'M
precedented rains in the lower Misssis-
sippi valley during the past ten days
have caused all streams to overflow,
and the lowlands in Tennessee, Arkan-
sas and Mississippi are one vast sea Of
water. Bridges have been washed
away on several of the railroads, and
traffic is seriously delayed. In Arkan-
sas the damage from the flood will
reach high figures. The Ouachita river
rose thirty feet within thirty-six hours,
and the torrent of waters swept every
thing before it. Many fine plantations
and farms in that fertile valley have
been submerged and outhouses and
fences swept away. Rain has been
falling almost steadily during the past
fOrty-eight hours. and the water will
go still higher.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The senate
has no weH-defned plan for this week S
proceedings. There will be no session
on Monday. It is possible, though by
no means certain. that the finance COM
rnfttee will be able to report the reVe-
nue. tariff bill on Tuesday, the matter
still depending on Senator Jones OF
Nevada. If the bills should be repor-
ted there viii probably be some de
sultory speech making based on It, out
the consideration of the matter would
scarcely be seriously begun TINS week,
even though a report should be secured
as promptly as it is hoped by the
friends Of the bill. The committee on
appropriations will claim a good share
of the time the senate will be in SEES
sion. The urgent deficiency approprla-
ton bill has been reported and the
military academy and pension bills
will be put in early in the week. None
Of these will excite any prolonged de-
bate. and it is altogether probable
that all will be disposed of before the
week closes. The Cuban belEger-
ency and Monroe doctrine resolu-
tfons are also on the calendar
and can be taken UP at any
time. There is more or less executive
business to claim the attention and
the general calendar has been growing
as the result Of committee work, while
the silver bond bill has been claiming
the attention Of the senate. Under
these circumstances the week bids fair
to be one of diversified interest with
no one topic claiming attention.

4 MYsTERIous RURIAL.

CRAwFORDSVILLE, Ind, Feb. q
Waveland is all excitement over the
mysterious burial of DR.. Columbus
Gently in Chicago The Chicago nnder-
taker had telegraphed to Waveland
that upon arrival of the coffin it must
be buried Immediately and without
opening it. This was done by lantern
light upon the arrival of the midnight
train; but, when it was learned that
Moore had died of a disease that had
baff1ed the doctors, and that he had
been an invalid for years, the peculiar
burial order aroused suspicion. It is
thought the coffin did not contain any
body and it is very probable the coffin
will be disinterred and an examination
made.

TWENTY INJURED.

An Accident Yesterday on the New
Sutro Electric Road.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Twenty peo-
pie were more or less injured today by an
accident on the new Sutro electric road
running to the Cliff House. A car loaded
with about seventy-five people was bound
in from the beach, and while descending
a steep grade, the motorman lost control
of the car and it plunged down at
high rate of speed. The car jumped the
track and plunged about fifty feet
through the sand. Those of the pas
senger who were outside all jumped and
they were the ones most injured. Broken
legs and ankles. bruises and wounded
scalps were numerous, about twenty
suffering injury in some way. Simon
Koshland. a wealthy WOO dealer, had his
left leg shattered. None of the passengers
were fatally hurt and the wounded were
quickly removed to their homes.

by members who have spoken with the
president, urging him to use his in
Huence in aiding the movement for
government control Of the canal.
In view of the rooAM!ity that con-
gress will reach an eariY adjournment,
about the first Of June, the Committee
fears to delay its undertaking longer.
No forecast of the probable lines of
the canal bill can be had from the
seven members of the committee. as,
they say, there has been no discussion
yet except Of tentative sort, but they
believe that the plans which were be-
fore the last congress can be improved
upon. They believe that they will be
able to report a plan to the house
within month. If, in the meantime,
the president furnishes the report of
the commission, that will be given due
consideration.
Mr.. Sherman of New York, the chair
man of the subcommittee and Mr..
Doolittle of Washington, its second
member, believe that this congress will
start the canal The congressional
contingent from the Pacific slope is
enthusiastic for the canal, and Pa
cific cable to the Hawaiian islands and
Japan The only stumbling block they
can see is the opposition of Reed
and other Republican leaders to
increased appropria tons on account
of the deficit in the treasury
which has been Demonstrated in
all the appropriation bills reported up
to date and in the working of the
committees on public buildings and
rivers and harbors
Mr.. Doolittle thinks that this policy
cannot apply against an agreement by
the government to guarantee the bonds
of the canal company.

Not Legal Marriage in Rhode

Island I'm Fifty Years.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Feb. 1.-The
authorities have discovered that the
new law requiring all persons per
forming the marriage ceremony to reg
lister yearly is Identical with one enact
ed seventy-five years ago, which has
long been a dead letter. The authori-
ties state that there has not been a le-
gal marriage in Rhode Island for fifty
years, and will probably apply to the
legislature to have the acts of all un-
licensed clergymen made valid.
