Cairo g. Cumberland Gap Railroad
matter, A good crowd was on hand
and some excellent speeches were'
made by Messrs. NJ G. Forbes, W. E
Ragsdale, W. j. Withers and w. A.
Wilgus.
Mr.. Forbes stated that the COM
pany only asked $1,000 from Hop
kinsville to assist in making the sur
vey. He was thoroughly satisfied

the route meant business and was
willing to back his faith in the enter

vey. .,.. ..
The other gentlemen expressed
their confidence in the movement and
MIR. Wngus said that the company
would issue stock at so cents on the
dollar to those who subscribed to the
surveying fund, in the event the road
was built. Otherwise the holders of
the charter would transfer certain in
terests in the charter and in any
event the money expended would
not be lost, but would represent &C
tual value received. Upon his motion

day, March 21, to which all persons inter-
ested in these subjects are invited to ap-
pear. The committee desires practical in
formation concerning the operations OF the
reciprocity treaties that were negotiated
by the last administration and the effect OF
their repeal: also concerning the obstacles
in the tariff or customs regulations of for
elgn countries tending to retard the exten-
sion of our export trade. The inquiry will
be confined to those two points. Persons
desiring to appear before the committee
will address the Hon. A. j. Hopkins,
chairman. The committee has also mailed
about 10000 circulars OF inquiry to mer-
chants and manufacturers. actually engag-
ed in the export trade, asking series of
questions designed to elicit information
that will be valuable in considering future
legislation. These questions relate to in
dividual efforts that have been made to
reach foreign markets, the determinations
or obstacles in the laws or customs regu-
lations of foreign countries that have been
met with and the means by which they
may be removed.
The direct question is asked also whether
the general effect of the reciprocity ar
arrangements made in 1890 was favora-
bic or unfavorable to the export trade of
the United States, particularly so far as
they concerned the farm products, and
whether the manufacturers and export
merchants of the United States favor the
application of the reciprocity principle to
furture tariff legislation and the enactment
of a general law authorizing the president
to negotiate the reciprocity treaties with
both European and American nations so
far as possible.

In the course of a brief address on TAX
ing the chair, Mr.. Dyer said:
"The Republican party of Rhode Island
has always been partial to the state OF
Maine, and If this year the choice OF the
party at large shall fall upon her most
eminent statesman, it would rest upon no

for "a financial policy which recognizes
every dollar to be OF equal value; for rec
ognition of the services of survivors OF the
civil war and for restriction of immigra-
tion." 1t also endorses the recent acts OF
a Republican congress to increase the

MORE MURDER

San Francisco Reports Another Case OF Mys.
terious StranaIing
SAN FRANCISCO, March lO.-The disre-
putable women who infest Morton street
and St. Mary's place in this city are in a
state of terror on account of the murder of
two of their class within a month. Both
women were straneled to death in their
rooms and in both cases the murderers
have escaped. The last victim of the mys-
terous stranger was found dead early
this morning. Two men who admit that
they visited her shortly before her body
was discovered have been arrested. but
they deny all knowledge of the crime.
Neither man is of the criminal class and
the police are inclined to believe their
stories. The murders here are similar in
details to those among the same class OF
women in Denver, and it is thought by
some that the Denver stranger has come
to San Francisco.
this morning under circumstances almost
identical with two other murders that have
taken place recently in the same locality.
Early this morning woman named Bertha
Parad;s. of 27 st. Mary's street, was found
dead in bed by her lover. When found she
was half reclining on her bed, her feet rest
ing on the floor. She had been strangled, a
handkerchief being thrust down her throat.
Nothing in the room had been DISTURBED,
apparently. The girl lay fully dressed on
her bed. There were no marks of violence
on the neck. She had apparently been
seized and a napkin, as we'll as a handker-
chief, had been crowded down her throat.
The money on her was not touched, nor
had there been any apparent effort to go
through the bureau drawers or other place >
where money might be kept. To the hasty
investigation of the police, it seemed like
a crime not actuated by the motive of
robbery

The Miracle Worker Is Simply Moving to
Greener Pastures
NoGALEs, Ariz., March lO.-The reported
rebellion against Mexico organized at Solo
monviIle, Ariz.. to enter Mexico at Nogales,
is fake, and 10 doubt originated in the
brain of an over-zealous correspondent.
Santa Teresa, or the saint of Cabora So.
nora, was banished from Mexico in 1898,
since which time she has been living quiet
life in Arizona. There are many of her
people who follow her from place to place,
and this no doubt is what she is now doing,
moving to another locality.
WASHINGTON, March l0.-rhe custom
officials here have heard nothing of the re.
ported raid by Mexicans into the state of
Sonora, with view to melting revolu.
ton, nor have any instructions been sent
to the customs officers on the border to be
OH the lookout for the raiders. Senior Ro-
nero, the Mexican minister here. however,
has received information of the propose
invasion, but he attaches no Importance to
the movement. He says the people ell
gagged in it are cattle stealers and maraud-
ers, aud but for the fact that they are likely
to commit depredalions and possibly kill a
number of innocent people. their move-
ments would he of no consequence. The
leaders are men of no standing or charac.

More Of Miss Overman's Letters Introduced.
Mrs. Brow, Testifies
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.-The prose-
cution in the Brown case introduced q sur
prise when the Congregational council re-
sumed its labors today, in the shape of a
number of letters written by Miss Over
man which she did not know were in the
possession of the council. While testify
ing about the Tunnel letters several days
ago Miss Overman was asked if all the
letters she had written Mrs. Tunnel had
been made public. She replied that she
thought they were all there except two.
Today more letters were produced and
Miss Overman was questioned about them.
The attorney for DR.. Brown made strenu-
GUS efforts to have them kept out, but he
was overruled by the moderator.
Miss Overman admitted writing all the
letters except one. which she said had been
written in the same manner as the black
mailing letters which she has already testi-
fled she had substituted for the original
letters to Mrs. Tunnel. The Judge advo-
cate would not reveal where he had OBJ
tained the additional letters, but it is sup
posed they were furnished ny Mrs. David
son.
DR.. Brown was unable to attend the trial

was seriously ill and it was feared that his
brain was affected. At the afternoon
session Mrs. Brown, wife of the accused
minister, took the stand in her husbands
defense. She said they had been married
thirty years and had always lived happily
together. She told of meeting Miss Over
man in Tacoma and of the Introduction of
Mrs. Stockton to DIR. Brown by Mrs.
Cooper. Mrs. Brown said the reason she
mad objected to Mrs. Stockton as mem-
Der of the church choir was on account of
her voice. which she thought was not good
enough. Then she told about the row over
the Turkish tea. to which Mrs. Stockton
was refused admission, and said thai Mrs.
Cooper requested a private conference
with DR.. Brown and herself, swearing
them to secrecy. Mrs. Cooper warned
them against Mrs. Stockton, saying she
was a bad woman and was the mis-
tress of a wealthy man of this city.
Mrs. Cooper said she knew this when she
introduced Mrs. Stockton to DR.. Brown,
but that she had introduced her as mere
formally. Mrs. Brown said that Miss
Overman had visited at her house, not at
Or. Browns request. but at her own, as
Miss Overman was a great help to her.
Mrs. Brown said her husband went to
Tacoma with Miss Overman at her sugges-
ton. and since the exposure of the scandal
Miss Overman has renamed in her house
at her invitation. Mrs. Brown said her
husband was loyal to her and 20 his home,
and that she knew that there had been no
improper relations between DR.. Brown and
Mrs. Stockton or any other woman. Mrs.
Brown said she attributed all the sorrows
of herself and husband to Mrs. Cooper, as
the latter had introduced Mrs. Stockton to
them when she knew SHE was bad woman.

SAN Francisco, March 1O.-The hearing
Of the injunction suit against the railroad
commissioners to prevent the proposed re-
duction in freight rates was resumed in the

and that the railroad would not pay ex-
penses if they we're further reduced.
