Let every state be as true to sill
yer as South Carolina and there
will be no quibbling. Senator Till
man says that South Carolina will
demand silver plank and a silver
candidate at Chicago or walk out.
We will have a convention for silver
all right, but if we should happen
to be fooled by the goIdbugs it will
mean a silver party and silver
candidate. We are in favor of in
structing Arkansas delegates to
walk out of the Chicago convention
and report back to the state con-
vention if silver at l6 to is not

The Batesville Bee, under tho
head of "Haste -Taste-Waste,
says: with some people there may
be Il taste for haste in matters per
soual, private or political, without
regard or disposition to wait and
see if such might not bring waste.
Evidently the ordinary man desires
or should wish time to consider all
matters coming before him, whether
of personal or political coucern,
hence nasty action is not product
i've of good results, However the
aim of all men should be to ma Ike
the best possible out Of all political
conditions, and make.a- grand rally
at the time and place appointed for
political meetings.

Additional Inducements Expected Againts
0leomargarine Dealers
The Internnl Revenue Authorities
Have Gotten Evidence in Over
Forty Different Cases.

The indictment of the members of the
firm Of wilkins & Co., yesterday on the
charge Of selling to the boys reform school

genuine butter, and supplying the article
in tubs not marked in accordance with the
provisions of the laws governing the sale
Of oleomargarine in the District of Co
lumhia, created genuine CONSERVATION
among the large number of dealers here
who have been engaged in selling the same
kind of product to the public as genuine
butter, and receiving the prices command
ed by the genuine article for the imitation
goods. A large number of other indict-
ments Of persons who were caught violat-
ing the oleomargarine laws in this man
rer are expected to be presented at any
sloner of Internal Revenue Miller instruct
ed Mr.. Welborn Colquitt, chief of the spe-
c1ai agents of that bureau, to clean up the
District of illegal oleomargarine sellers.
Agents Drought From Abroad.
MIR. Colquitt quietly brought to Washing
ton two or three trustworthy officers under
his supervision. and in a short time over
forty cases had been made out against as
many different individuals who had been
discovered selling oleomarsarine for but
ter and selling it also without having got
ten out the licenses required by the gov
eminent.
When these dealers were made acquainted
with the fact that their illegal methods had
been discovered, they paid-or some one
paid for them-into the Treasury Depart
ment, through the internal revenue bureau,
the amounts of money equal to the licenses
they had failed to get out before embarking
In the trade. 1t was expected that this
course would satisfy the treasury officials
and prevent prosecution of the offenders.
But such. it is said, will not prove to be the
case. All the evidence in the cases made
by Chief Agent Colquitt was placed in the
possession of District Attorney Birney sew
eral weeks ago. and it is believed to be
probable that the grand jury will signalize
Its adjournment next Monday by finding
true bills against all of the individuals
against whom the charges have been made.
1t may be interesting to note that the
reform school case against the Wilkins
Brothers, in which the indictment was
found yesterday, was worked up by Detec-
tive Carter, entirely unaided by the United
States authorities. So far the only indict-
ments brought have been upon cases made
out by Detective Carter. All the indict-
ments brought some months ago, the cases
under which have never been brought to
trial. were due to this officers efforts. There
have been presented to the district attor-

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Langdon Held in the Case Of Anna
McGrath.
ACTION at THE CORONER'S INQUEST
No Traces of Poison in the Girls
Remains.
PRISONER GOES TO JAIL

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 3.-The COR
oner's jury this afternoon held Samuel p.
Langdon for the action of the grand jury.
Langdon lived with Anna McGrath, the
ninteen-year-old typewriter, who was found
dead in bed under suspicious circumstances
March %.
The inquest was held today by Coroner
Ashbridge.
Langdon occupied a front seat, and did
not appear to take much interest in the
proceedings.
Henry H. McGrath, the dead girls father,
was the first witness. He said the last
time he saw his daughter alive was on the
Wednesday prior to her death. He did not
know Mr.. Langdon, and had never seen
him at his home
Mrs Effie Butterfield, a sister of Anna
McGrath, said she had met Mr.. Langdon
at the McCirath house but once. She knew
that her sister was in the habit of pur-
chasing chloroform in small quantities for
the toothache. but did not know that she
had purchased a two-ounce bottle of the
drug until she told so by Howard A.
SausSer, a drug clerk
Florence Stewart, a friend of the dead
girl, testified that she had known Anna
McGrath since childhood. She said that on
one occasion Annie had said to her: IF
Mr.. Langdon would find me going out with
any else he would kill me-
Frank Brockman. drug clerk at 2S3S
Girard nue., said he mad sold a small
quantity of chloroform to Miss McGrath the
Friday prior to her death.
Bertha Stewart. the colored servant of the
couple. told about the finding of the body of
Miss McGrath.
Howard A. Sausser, druggist, told of sell
Ing two ounces of chlorOform to the dead
girl, and about the latter asking him what
were the relative effects of chloroforr, on
an elderly and young person, and also
what was the most deadly poison.
After several other witnesses had tes-
titled to the cheerful disposition of the
dead girl, Prof. Lehman, the coroner's ex-
pert. read his report on the analysis of
the blood and stomach of Miss McGrath.
The report stated that there were no traces
OF any kind of poison in the girls ston,-
ach or blood. The blood was a bright red
color. which would be the case if the dead
girl had died from inhaling water gas.
Several physicians testified that the sore
spots on the tongue came from the pressure
Of the teeth in the lower jaw.
Coroner AShbridge then explained the
case to the jury, telling them that the
absence of special poison casts somewhat
of a doubt upon the cause of immediate
death, but that statements Mr.. Langdon
made varied TO such an extent that his
actions looked suspicious
The jury was out ten minutes and re-
turned with the following verdict:
I'VE frd that Anna McGrath came to
her death in manner unknown to the
jury, and we recommend that the defend
ant, Samuel P. Lang6'ol, be held to await
the action of the grand jury"
LanSdon was taken back to Jail.
