A OUINTUpLE MURDER.

Mother and Four Children Killed on
Mississippi Plantation.
Wesson, Miss, Dec 10.-The wife and
four children Of Brown Smith, planter
living in Simpson county, 20 miles from
here, were murdered Wednesday night,
while fifth child was terribly injured.
Mr.. Smith, who Is a son of ex-Repre-
sentative Edward Smith, went to
nearby town in the afternoon, leaving
his family at home. Yesterday morn
ing when he returned he found his wife
and five children weltering in their
blood, and all apparently dead. An
alarm was raised Immediately, and the
entire neighborhood turned out to hunt
for the perpetratOr of the foul and
bloody crime. There being no telegraph
connections. details of the murder come
in slowly, but it is reported that one
of the little girls, supposed to have been
dead, has revived enough to tell what
she knew of the occurrence. She said
she knows the man who committed the
deed, that it was a negro, and de-
scribed him. A posse Is now on the
track of the murderer, and there is
great probability that he will be appre-
hended, and there can be but little
doubt he will meet speedy Justice when
caught without waiting for the formal
ity of q court.
1t is learned that Mrs. Smith and her
four children are dead. Sheriffs Nc
Nair. of Lincoln. and Thompson, of
Copiah county. have gone to the scene
of the murder, each with pack of
bloodhounds.

CHAPTER XIII.

At about half after 2 O'Clock that
evening the figures of two aged men
mounted the steps Of one Of the new
residences in West Thirteenth street,
near Eighth avenue.
Farnhall himself met them at the
door,

Farnhall looked little crestfallen.
"You don't think 70? And in case

you in the plans you have in view."
"Sorry, but it is impossible" said
the detective. "You see, we are in dis
guise, and it would not do to run the
risk of adding another man. But shall
do all can toward recovering the miss

"Well, amuse yourselves as we'll as you

"Be sure to do that" cautioned
Hendricks II want to follow them as

Half an hour later Hendricks and
Lampkin heard the front doorbell ring.
The detective sprang to the door of the
dining room, drew aside the curtain
and peered cautiously into the hall.
Voices were heard exchanging greet
ings, and then they ceased as the draw
ing room door closed.
Hendricks turned to his companion.
Good go far!' he calculated. "They
are all here, every one of them. l was
afraid come one would back out Oh some
pretext or other.
An hour passed. Not word was
spoken by the two men. Hendricks sat
at the open fire, his hands clasped over
his knee. Suddenly he sprang up. They
had heard the door of the drawing
room open. The hall was filled with the
sound Of footsteps and voices. Then the
front door closed, and Farnhall came
into the room.

"That fellow Ralph is IL young dare

Washington, Dec. 1o.-The senate did
a considerable amount Of business yes

measures were considered or passed
and there was very little debate. Sem

protesting against he annexation of
those islands to the United States. An
attempt was made by Senator Nc
Bride to secure an appropriation for the
relief of the Klondike miners. but the
net result was a resolution calling on the
secretary OF war for all information he
had on the subject.
The house entered upon the consider

and stirred up debate that promises
to continue for several days. Several

speech replete with his characteristic

some of the most glazing evils. They

widows whose applications were not
filed during their widowhood and the
granting of pensions to widows whose
applications were based on marriages

MOTHER M'KINLEY'S VITALITY.
The Remarkable Old Lady Surprises
Those Attending Her Bedside.


Canton, O.. Dec. 10.-Yesterday was
almost devoid Of incident in the room OF
Mrs Mckinley, who still fingers at the
point Of death. Her rest during the
day seemed a trifle less peaceful than
heretofore, and at times she expert
enced apparent distress in the throat,
the direct evidence of which was an
ominous rattle.
At neither of his calls yesterday did
the attending physician notice dis
tnct change in the condition, and each
time he expressed hopes of survival
for some hours to come. President Nc
Kinley was not as hopeful as the doc
tor. He thought his mother had failed
very rapidly during the day and that
she was so weak that the end could not
much longer be delayed. The patient
had taken no nourishment since morn
ing, and has not even taken sip of
water for many hours. That She re-
tains life so long without any nourish-
ment Is the most surprising feature
of the case.
