A MODERN BLUE BEARD.

Zanoli Collects Insurance on -Four
Wives, One Mother-in-Law, One Child
And One Employe.
New York, Dec. 1O.-Charles Zanol.
the barber, who yesterday pleaded guilty
to defrauding an insurance company,
and who admitted that since 1883. he
had collected insurance ON four wives,
one mOther-in-law, one daughter and one
employe, was arraigned in police court
again today on the charge of being
suspicious person. He was remanded
until tomorrow to give the detectives on
the case time to thoroughly investigate
his record, and ascertain whether the
lives of all these people, whose insurance
Ianoli obtained, were lost through ma
tural causes. The charge made by the
Insurance company will not be pressed
until this curious sequence of deaths has
been thoroughly explained.
While prosecuting his insurance bust
ness Zanol sometimes Travelled under
the names of Braune and Summer.
During the day the police accumulated
good deal of testimony against Zanoli.
which they consider important. Capt.
McClusky, chief of detectives, stated
that he had discovered a barber who
had seen Zanoli giving wife No.
dose of medicine. The woman died the
next day of cerebral hemorrhage. He
also stated that Zanoi moved a short
time ago to another locality in this citv
with the intention of getting married
again. The woman that Zanoli intend
ed to make his wife, advertised in the
papers for husband. and had an ap-
pointment with Zanoli at his store yes
terday evening. She kept the appoint
ment and found that Zanoli was in iaiI
The police also claim that Zanoli tried
sto marry another woman recently.
Ianoli told the police today that his
enid Lottie. on whose life he collected
insurance died from an injury ON the
mead resulting from blow given her
by his second wife, while in a fit of
anger. Zanoli also stated that his sec
ond wife grieved 50 much over Lottie's
death that lie believed it caused her
own death. Zanoli has continued to crv
ever since he has been locked up.

PIE-HUNTERS PROTEST.
~ Republican Vultures to Caucus on the
Civil Service Law.

Washington, Dec. 10-Representativ ve
Pearson, of North Carolina, secured ~
signatures to the paper circulated AMONG
Republican members of Congress for a
conference relative to the civil service
law. AS a result the conference has
been set for Saturday night in the Riv-
ers and Harbor Committees room.
The number of Republican members
signing the paper was considerable of a
surprise as the first idea was that not
more than 20 members would sign. The
purpose of the meeting is to consider
what changes of the civil service law are
desirable with a view to shaping legis-
lation on these lines.
In speaking of the conference, Mr..
Pearson said it should be understood
that quite number of those members
who signed the call were in favor of the
civil service idea. They felt, however,
that the principle itself was at stake by
the present administration of the lazy
and they were therefore ready to join In
considering what remedy could be had
for the present defects.

THAT INNOCENT DURRANT.
Blanther's Counsel Says Hanging Him
VIII Be judicial Murder.


Little Rock, Ark, Dee. 1O.-Judge T..
Nj. Merriman, of Little Rock, who was
personally acquainted with and once
represented j. E. Banther, alias Forbes.
as attorney an this city, insists that
Blanther, and not Durrant, murdered
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams
IN San francisco, and that the execu-
ton of Durrant will, therefore be n
judicial murder. A few days ago the
story was sent out from Atlanta, GA.
that Blanther was in that city at the
time the girls were murdered. Judge
Merriman scouts this idea. Judge Mer-
rlman to-day made public long state
ment, giving his reasons for believing
Durrant innocent. Among other things,
he said:
"Blanther, being dead, my lips may re-
veal the fact that he told me during
his trouble here that the name of Forbes
was but an alias; that he had assumed it
for one of the reasons best known to
himself, and that his life had been an
eventful one.' This, coupled with the
statement of his second wife, Agnes
Cameron, in public print, convinces me
that he spoke the truth"
DURRANT'S THIRD SENTENCE
San Francisco, Cal, Dee. 1O-The pa
| pers IN the Durrant case have been filed
mere. 1t is expected that the murderer
will be sentenced for the third time on
Tuesday, and will be hanged on the
first Friday of the new year

DURRANT'S THIRD SENTE,
CHARLES FLEISCHMANN DEAD.
The Millionaire Started Poor, Made
Yeast and Therefore Rose Rapidly.

Cincinnati, o., Dec. 10.-The Hon
Charles Fleischmann died at 80 a. IN.
to-day at his home in Avondale from
paralysis. The stroke which was the
second. came at 2:30 Thursday morn
ing and he never regained conscious
ness.
Mr.. Fleischmann was born in Hunga
ry in 1884 and came to America in 1866
and to Cincinnati in 1868. The foun-
dation of his great fortune was laid by
the invention of patented machinery for
use in distilleries. This was followed
by utilizing a bye product in distilling
for the manufacture of compressed
yeast. HIS business interests were var
ious and manifold. Until recently he
was president of the Commercial Tri-
bune Company. He was also president
Of the Market National Bank. He had
an extensive interest in the turf and
was the employer Of the famous jockey
Tod Sloane. Mr.. Fleischmann served
two terms in the State Senate.

THE FALL LIVER SITUATION.
The Manufacturers and Laborers TO Get
Together for Better
Understanding

Fan River, Mass. Dec 10.-Until the
new wage scale ordered by the manufac-
turers shall have been issued. there will
be little change in the situation in this
city.
The feeling in favor of a conference
OF the manufacturers and the represen-
tatlVes of the labor unions is gaining
strength, and there is strong probabil-
lty that the committee may recommend
such action that the true condition of
affairs may be understood by the op-
eratives.
The Seaconnet mill will, it is thought.
be an important factor in the situation.
as ITS managers are opposed to a cut
down, and will probably continue to run
their mills under the present schedule,
should the new one result in a strike.
