ARTHUR PALMER CRHZY.
The New York State Triple Murderer
"Sweatcd" by st. Louis Police.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2s.-Arthur Palmer, the
murderer of his mother. brother and sis
ter in Mammaronock, Westchester county.
New York, who was arrested at the Plant
ers Hotel yesterday afternoon, will be
taken back to the scene of his crime. He
spent the night at the Four Courts in the
custody of an officer who guarded him
closely, because it was feared he would do
something desperate. The chief of police
thinks Palmer is crazy. So does Chief of
Detectives Desmond. who sweated Palmer
for four hours in the most approved police
fashion, but obtained nothing conclusive
from him. The prisoner admitted that he
is Palmer. He talked of his home, his fam
lily, the trouble his wife had with the fam
fly, of their attempts to poison him with
arsenic, of their deserving death at his
hands. but all the time he kept insisting
that he did not kill them. He said that
neghbors must have done IL. There was
scarcely a statement made by him that he
did not contradict during the conversation
except the one that he did not do the shoot
ing. Palmer told Desmond that he and
his family were Quakers and that he
prayed good deal. He had the old de-
lusiOn about getting a message from God
to study religion and go out to reform
people. If his conversation was genuine
and not made up TO show Insanity the man
is certainly of unsound mind

ALDERMEN INDICTED.
Louisville Solons Charged with Bril-
berry and ExtOrting Money.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Jan. Establishments
have been drawn against three members OF
the Board of Aldermen for alleged viola
tions of the law in connection with their
official duties. The aldermen who are in
dicted are: r. Z. King. president OF the
board: II. o. Brewer. J. Z. Leatherman.
All Of these are anti-Todd men and have
actively opposed the mayor In all OF his
movements since he took the office. The
charge on which President King Is indicted
is bribery in connection with his official
position. Leatherman and Brewer are in
dtcted on the charge of trying to extort
money from various persons for their influ-
ence in the Board of Aldermen. The fact
that the indictments are not yet returned
TO the court makes il difficult to learn any
thing about the details. Tomorrow at noon
is given as the hour when the indictments
will be reported. President King is men,
Der of the sinking fund by virtue of being
president of the Board of Aldermen. His
friends say he will easily disprove any
charge brought against him.
When seen tonight Messrs. King.
Brewer and Leatherman said they had ex-
pected the indictments, and expressed con-
hdence in their ability to prove their inno-
cence of the charges, and that the whole
thing is political game inspired by Mayor
Todd and growing out of the friction be-
tween the executive and the council.

SUFFRAGISTS TALKED MUCH.


DES MONIES. Ia, Jan. 2S-The National
Woman Suffrage Association INDUCED in
heated debate to-day on the proposition
for a plan of work. led by Clara B. Colby,
of Nebraska, to add the chairmen of stand
ing committees TO the business committee
of the association, thereby enlarging 1t to
fourteen members. 1t developed into a con-
test between the East and West. Mesdames
McCulioch of Illinois, Addison of Kansas.
Atwater OF Montana, Nelson of Minnesota
and Devoe Of Indiana favored enlargement
TO give all the branches of suffrage work
better representation on the managing
committee. IL was opposed by Susan Is.
Anthony. Rachel Foster Avery of PennSyl-
vania, Carrie Chapman Gait of New York,
Anna Howard Shaw of Pennsylvania Mrs
Bradford of Colorado. Henry B. Blackwell
OF Massachusetts and others on the ground
that enlargement would make q cumber-
some committee and impossible to get to-
gether, and would interfere with the
efficiency OF the work. The proposition was
defeated, - To 1s.
Ii was decided to insist that the national
association should control state campaigns
where the national association gives aid.
National workers say that state workers
perience do not know how 10 run a cam
paign as well as the national workers
who have been through il in other States.
Miss Anthony declared she would never
this purpose into state campaigns unless
she could control the campaign. The per-
son who contributes money controls the
campaign nowadays, she said.
AT the afternoon session the following
officers were elected: President. Susan B.
Anthony; vice president at large, Rev.

spending secretary, Mrs. Rachel Foster

ECCENTRIC PINGREE
Makes Another Bid for NOtoriety by
Delivering PardOns in Person.

LANSING, Mich. Jan. 2s.-Governor Pin
gree added another chapter to his dra-
matte career to-day by going to the Jack
son prison and in person delivering par
dons to August Fuhrman Carl Voegler
August Grossman and Henry Jacobs, who
were convicted four years ago Of the crime
of numbering Albert Molitor at Rogers
City. Presque Isle county in 1879
Molitor was a dictator among his Ger
man countrymen, whom he had induced 70
settle in the wilderness. His reign be-
came so despotic and cruel that a secret
oath was taken by his subjects that they
would take his life. and that, should any
OF the conspirators reveal the secret crime
it should be fastened upon him. The deed
was accomplished as Molitor was working
in his store one August night. No clew 10
the perpetrators was had until 1883. when
one William Repke confessed to partici-
patton in IL and implicated the men who
were pardoned to-day. and they were all
convicted and sentenced TO life imprison-
ment. Subsequently Repne made affidavits
that his testimony was perjury. The case
then taken up by the State Board OF
Pardons. who, after two years. expressed
the belief that the men We're innocent and
that the real perpetrators of the crime
were dead or beyond reach OF the law
The board recommended pardons, which
resulted in the action of Governor Pingree
to-day.
