NEW LIGHT on THE CASE.
Police Believe They Have
VIM. Boyle, II Long-LOokedForM Man.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Jan. l1.-Mr. John ].
Ryan, secretary OF the Catholic Benevolent
Legion, has received the following telegram:
John j. Ryan, Fort Wayne, Ind: Send
some comrade at once to COmrade Bresne-
han, Cleveland, Ohio, who can identity
Boyle, now under arrest there.
(Signed) JOHN ID. CARROLL,
Supreme Secretary"
This throws new light upon a case which
has mystified the police authorities of
nearly every large city in the country for
the past four years and possibly puts an
end to the fierce legal fight which has
been carried on in the courts since 1884,
and which is now before the supreme court
of the State OF Indiana.
In July, 1891, William Boyle, Fort
Wayne man, was reported to have been
drowned in Lake Michigan, his clothes be-
ing found on the banks OF the lake at Chi
cago. Boyle was insured in the Catholic
Benevolent Legion for $1,000, and his
wife. Anna Boyle, presented her claim,
which was refused by the legion on the
ground that the body would first have 10
be recovered. Mrs. Boyle instituted pro-
ceediDgs in the circuit court on october
9, 1894, against the Supreme Council Of
the Catholic Benevolent Society and on De
cember II, 1891, was awarded judgfn-et
in the sum of 81, ,IO2.23. The case was car
ried to the supreme court, where it is
now on trial.
Mr.. A. A. Cooke, who was personally ac-
quainted with Boyle, left for Cleveland last
night.

EXTENSIVE WATER WORKS.
A Plan Proposed to the People of
Hyattsvtlle.

A Plan Proposed to the People of
Hyattsville.
Col W. s. Powell, OF Annapolis Junction,
addressed large meeting of citizens of
Hyattsville last evening, upon the subject
or water works, and outlined plan for
supplying water TO houses located between
Annapolis junction and Hyattsville.
The water will be secured by pumping
from streams near Annapolis junction to
a high-service reservoir near Laurel. and
an additional reservoir will be located at
II Hyattsvile. All necessary elevations,
caieulations and estimates have been made.
The plant will be designed for all time
the necessary changes being only new en-
gines OF greater power, should the demand
require it. 1t is proposed to issue $500
6 per cent gold bonds, to run fifty years,
and 100000 in stock, the bonds to be
provided for by a sinking fund.
The cost of construction will be S206,
900, and the annual revenue from all
sources is estimated at $4,000. From
this annual revenue the sum of S2y, 900 will
be taken for operating expenses, leaving
a balance of $4,000 as interest to be paid
to investors. little over per cent on
stock subscriptions.
The difference between the cost of con-
struction t$2O6, ,0Oo) and the face value of
the bonds $3.50, ,OOO) would be used for
extending the system. The section of
Maryland between Annapolis Junction and
Hyattsville is acknowledged to be the most
thriving section of Maryland, and will
receive an impetus when the new electric
railway is completed. There will be some
thing like / 400 houses to be supplied
with water, besides the Maryland Agri-
cultural College and other large build
lDgs along the proposed route. Col. Powell
will visit Laurel in a few days to submit
his sc heme to the people of thattown.

wEFERS Is EXONERATED.
Suspicious Concerning His Amateur
Status Officially Set at Rest


Lovers OF amateur sport, who reJoiced
over the signal victory achieved by Amerl-
can athletes at the International games last
september, VIII De pleased TO learn that
Bernard j Wefers, the bright particular
star OF that eventful occasion, Is as much an
anna teur now as then.
When Wefers returned home in triumph
his fellow-citizens OF Lawrence, Mass,
gave subscription banquet IN ms homer.
and during the festivities the mayor pre-
sented the record-brea king guest with a
purse OF SlOO. AT the annual meeting OF
the A. A L., held later on, an approximate
case, supposed to cover this testimonial
incident, was presented, and, although
there was no ruling which applied to weIers
personally. the boards adverse views were
SO interpreted.
Wefers had entered Georgetown College in
the interval, and Tie athletic association
there took prompt steps to have the matter
cleared up. Walter s. Martin, the COllege
A. A. president, secured afridavits from
Thomas A. Riley, who organized the Law
renee banquet, and from Wefers himself.
These documents set forth that the whoie
matter was sprung on the young champion
asa surprise, and that he accepted the purse
from the mayors hands rather than inter-
fere with the harmony OF the gathering by
refusing point blank As soos as possible,
however, Wefers returned the money to
Riley.
The foregoing facts were filed with Sec
retary James E. Sullivan OF the A. a. L..
and by him submitted to President Nc
MILAN at Philadelphia. A special committee
was assigned to the case, and the result is
thecOmplete eexOnerationof OF Wefersfron any
charge of professionalism arising out OF
the purse incident The English critics,
who have been roayting Wefers industri-
ously and holding him up as a specimen
OF the American mercenary amateur. have
now an opportunity of eating their words
with as good an appetite as can be expected
under the circumstances.

4 LEGGED LOSS Of $3.50

IA ueKeu LONh OI SS0O.
j. NJ. Cartwright, the man from Shiloh
postoffice, Camden county, N. c., who
about the 18th of last November reported
that he had been robbed at the Metropoli-
tan Hotel of satchel containing $3.50
and a revolver, is himself the subject of
police investigation Just now, although il
is being conducted at long range.
Cartwright, when he reported the alleged
robbery, stated that he had come to WASH
iDgton from Norfolk on his way TO Balti-
more to purchase goods. He went to the
Metropolitan Hotel, carrying with him
his satchel, in which he had the money
and revolver. Wheuhe registered stranger
was standing by him, who also registered
and deposited satchel. The clerk threw
out two checks for the satchel, and the
stranger got his.
Cartwright said he then went upstairs,
and when he returned the stranger had
presented the check for his satchel, getting
it and skipped, leaving an empty one in
return. This story he told Detective Horne,
and then he became exceedingly anxious to
return to his home.
The detective was suspicious and wrote
to the sheriff of the county making inqui
ries into Cartwright's character. He re-
ceived no reply to that letter, but has re-
ceived communication from William B.
Gregory of Elizabeth CITY, short distance
from Shiloh, informing him that Cartwright
had borrowed $400 Of the money from him,
alleging his Intention oECOming to Wash
ington to buy green goqds. When he got
back to North Carolina be told Gregory
that the green goods men had gotten all
the money, aud that they were both losers.
Mr.. Gregory at once had him arrested,
and he is now out ON bail. The case will be
tried there shortly. 1t is Claimed that the
money was taken here by a confederate of
%lanvr
and divided up the $500 belonging to Mr.
Gregory. This arrest and suit will dispose
of the suit that Cartwright had instituted
against the hotel to recover the $3.50 he
claimed to have lost through the careless.
ness of the clerk.

ing that you might have some excuse to
offer for not meeting me in open debate
during the recent political campaign,
write again TO ask you 10 meet me now.

your reason for ignoring my last chal-
lenge was that you did not care TO share
in the expense of hall rent, music, etc,
will state that If You will debate with
me in Music Hall, Baltimore, Monday
evening next, you will be greeted by an
immense audience and the finest hall and
orchestra in the city, all prepaid by Inc
without expense to yourself. Knowing your
prudent disposition concerning monetary
matters, am confident you Will accept this
challenge. But shall be present whether
you are or not and tell the people what
] know about bosses and bossism. Yours
verytruly, CLEoRA EUGENIA COOKE.

TO let Miss Cooke alone she will tell the
audience what she knows about Mary

bama will also speak. A Populist play en-
titled king Grover III'' will also be pro-
duced.
Miss Cooke was indisposed yesterday,

frantic with pain, struggled to free herself
from his grasp. and succeeded in running
into the rear yard, where several of the
neighbors came TO her assistance Just as her
son and only child, William, aged 6 years,
extinguished the flames by dasbing pail
of water over his mother

tended by Drs. Snodgrass and Abbott, both
OF whom think IT almost impossible for her
to recover. She was fearfully burned all

clans think she did not inhale any of the
flames,
