A Futile Double murder.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. ia
special from Nashville, Tenn,
says: A letter from Hymns Lick,
Jackson county, brings news Of a
horrible murder committed near
that place. Five masked men en-
tered the house of Joseph Day, an
old farmer, who was reputed to
have money hidden away, and de-
manded his treasure. Day refused
to give it up, and after numerous
threats he was taken out of doors
and hanged to tree. The robbers
then attempted to make Mrs. Day
tell where the money was hidden
and when she refused they beat
her brains out with club. They
then ransacked the house but
failed to find the money.

Holds Hands Of,

WASHINGTON, Jan, 17.-Cardinal
Satolli has not rendered the SER
vices of Pope Leo as arbitrator in
the Venezuelan controversy, nor
has the cardinal received any in
timation that he will be called up
on 10 offer the services Of the pope
in that capacity. This Is the answer
given at the residence OF the car
dinal in response to an inquiry in
answer to the report in the London
Chronicle that the pope had taken
this step through the American
delegate. There has been no COM
munication, officially or otherwise,
1t is stated, between Rome and the
delegation on this subject. 1t Is
pointed out that Cardinal Satolli's
functions are of a clerical and not
OF an official character. About
year ago the pope rendered his SER
vices as arbitrator, a special dele
gate being sent to London for the
purpose. At that time Lord Rose
berry, then premier, declined to &C
cept arbitration. This was accepted
as final by his holiness, and in a
communication from Rome to
President Crespo, his regret was
expressed that there was no pros
pect that papal mediation would
be accepted. No further steps have
been taken, so far as known here.

Transvasl situation has been re-
lieved today by some spicy scan.
dals, identified with the downfall
of Baron Won Hammerstein and
the forced departure of Fritz Fried
man, Germany's greatest criminal
lawyer.
The latter's abandoned wife has
already made good use Of her hus-
bands notoriety by accepting an
engagement on the stage of the
famous Apollo Theater. She fol-
lowed the example Of Bertha
Rother, who recently figured in a
suit for damages against the por-
trait painter, Grsef, and who is one
of the most popular employees Of a
large local restaurant.
Flora Grass, Hammerstein's
morganatic wife, has been offered
a remunerative position in a prom
inent sll-night buffet, but the
plans of the enterprising caterer
have been thwarted by Baron Won
Richtofen, superintendent OF the
Berlin police, who will not permit
the pretty Jewess to come to the
metropolis as an attraction in a
public buffet or restaurant.

Jamison raid fiasco. He says that
when he left johannesburg, six
weeks ago, the Uitlanders were
moving in expectation Of Jamison's
invasion, and that all outsiders ex-
cept Americans were prepared to
welcome him. The immigrants
from the United States stood In
the way, however, and to their ef-
forts was doubtless due the doc

oppression, were opposed to any
movement that might end in the
Transvaal becoming colonial pos

son they gave for this attitude was
that IL Great Bri ain came into
possession of the country the high
wages obtainable there now would
be reduced before the rapid influx
of Englishmen that would follow.

Illinois Central and the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroad compa-

wharfage on their property BE-.

express the opinion thot the coun-

of an era in the commercial history
Of New Orleans, which would prove
second only to the introduction Of
steamboats, on the Mississippi river
and the opening OF its mouth by
