THE CRIMINAL BJIDGE
Murder and Suicide In Massachusetts
Murderer Of Annie McGrath
Released In PiOus Phfla-
dclphin.

Salem, Mass, Ayril 9.--What the police
believe to be a murder and suicide was
disclosed TO-DAY when An. .slara of fire was
given Tor a slight blaze in the apart
ment occupied by Miss Josephine Man
ming, dTessmaker.
The fire was in folding bed. On the
bed lay the dead body of Miss Manning,
while across it's foot Charles Flynn, who
had been keeping company with her for
some time, was writhing in pain from a
bullet wound. He died before physi-
clan could reach the place.
The fire, which probably resulted from
the pistol ahot among the bed clothes
was extinguished before any serious dam
age was done.
Flynn was widower, 35 years of age.
The woman was 2S. The lodgers in the
house state that they heard reports OF a
pistol about O'Clock this morning, but
did not investigate. Three shots were
fired, two of which penetrated the wo.
mans head, while the third pierced the
mans brain.
BECAUSE OF LACK OF EVIDENCE.
ladelphia.-Samusl G. Langdon, the
wealthy coal operator, who was held pend
ing the investigation of the death of An
ME McGrath, whose body was found on
March % in the house occupied by Lang
don and the girl, was released to-day by
tho police authorities. Coroner Ashherg
has abandoned the case against Langdon
because of lack of evidence.
CONFESSION OF A GIRL.
Leavenworth, Kas.-Annie Lamborn,
whoyesterday conft ssed to having planned
20 murder her rich father at Fall Leaf on
February II, and fastened the crime on
Thos. Davenport, her lover, spent two
hours with her attorneys to-day In An en-
deavor to arrive at some sort of defense.
Her confession, which is said to give de-
tails Of the plot and murder, is in posses
sion of Detective Charles $Schaeffer, Of
Kansas City, who positively refuses to
make it public. Neither of the prisoners
would talk to-day, their attorneys having
instructed them to remain silent.
All that can be gathered from them ia
that Dayenport, in killing Lamborn, fol-
lowed out an arrangement made tho day
previous while taking Annie buggy rid
ing. The object of the murder was to
secure division of the property, after
which Davenport VAS to marry Miss
Lsmborn. Charles Lamborn, according
to his sisters confession, knew that
Davenport committed the murder.

ary gathering derogatory to the west as
but one of the assaults made of late
against the rotten borroughs and mining
camps of the west, as the metropolitan
press designated the silver states.
| Mr.. Mantle declared that within a
radius of five miles from Carnegie hall,
New York, where Mr.. Cleveland spoke,
there was more poverty, ignorance,
sc ualor, starvation, crime and criminals
than in all the silver states combined.
He gave statistics comparing the silver
states with five eastern states, showing
the former to be abreast and ahead of
! these eastern states in material and moral
standing.
Mr.. Mantle said that these attacks
sprang mainly from the fact that five Re-
publican senators from the west voted
against nroceeding with the tariff bill at
an nopportune time.
D,- ..aY BILL PURELY POLITICAL.
The Mckinley law, said the senator,
was strictly high protective measure,
so high that some Republican senators
doubted its expediency, and would, II the
Republican party was fully restored to
power, oppose its reenaettnent. But the
Dingley bill was not measure designed
for protection or revenue, but was a
political measure, framed without due
consideration of the western states
"There are some Republicans" exclaimed
Mr.. Mantle, "willing to sacrifice the prin-
ciples of the Republican party rs long as
the measure affords protection to certain
interests"
CASE OF MRS. MAVERICK.

The bill to repeal the compulsory

REPORT ON CITY SCHOOLS.

REPORT ON CITY SCHOOLS.
Mr.. H. H. Brodie, who served as super.
intendent of the city public schools dur
ing the past year, submitted the following
satisfactory report to the board:
TS g the b Hon. Board of Education Santa Fe'
Gentlemen; I have the privilege of
submitting for your consideration the
report of the city schools for the years
1895 and 1886.
The schools opened October with an
attendance of 300 pupiis, and, after six
months session, closed March 20 with an
attendance of 476 pupils. Three teachers
have been employed in the LIST and I'd
grades, three in the Sd and 4th, one in the
5th and 9th and one for all grades above
the 9Th
Four buildings have been used for
school purposes, one each in the let aud
I'd wards, the Sisters school and Within
hall, the latter being rented. Theaccom
modations have been fair aud sufficient,
except in December, when the primary
departments were crowded
Teachers meetings we're regularly held, 1,
at which methods and the good of our
schools were discussed. I, however, have
done little at visiting the various schools.
To leave my school would soon impress
the pupils with their neglect. They would
lose interest, and neither the work in my
own school nor my general supervising
work would have approached success.
Washington's birthday and Arbor day
were both observed, however not with
elaborate exercises, es We considered the
term too short in which to do the neoes-
sary school work

Spring Time

Ia when nearly everyone feels the need of
some blood purifying, strength invigor-
ating and health producing medicine.
The real merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the reason of its widespread popularity.
Its unequalled success is its best recon-
mendation. The whole system is sus-
ceptible to the most good from medi-
cine like Hoods Sarsaparilla taken at
this time, and we would lay special stress
upon the time and remedy, for history
has it recorded that delays are dangerous.
The remarkable success achieved by
Hoods Sarsaparilla and tho many words
of praise it has received, make it worthy
of your confidence. We ask you to give
this medicine fair trial.

The report of the committee in the

case was made special order for Fri
day at 10 o'clock. The report in the
Kauffman-Dunlap case will come I'D
tomorrow.
When the committee reported these
contests today speeches were made on
both sides Werner Dem) favored
free debate. Howard (Rep.) said if the
Democrats did not know all about this
case it was because they had conspirad
to make so much noise that the reports
could not be heard. Phelps Oem.)
said if Howard included him in that
remark, he was saying what was un-
true. Swinfurth Oem.], member of
the committee on contests, said that
If he was referred to, the statement
was untrue as made by Howard.
Thereupon Howard said he was re-
sponsible for what he said Then
Phelps, with an open pocketknife in
his hand, made rush for Howard.
Swinfurth Joined in it. Great excite
ment followed; everybody was on their
feet, and there were shouts of ''Un-
true" and the like. The belligerents
were forced to their seats by their
friends. When order was restored the
speaker told Howard his remarks were
improper Howard Immediately said
he meant no reflection on either of the
gentlemen offended. and that he be-
lieved that his remarks, made in an
unguarded moment, were justifable
