HELD FOR MURDER.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Two women and
four men are locked up at the South
Chicago police station. and, it is al
legged. they are wanted in connection
with the murder of John Leinen. the
West Hammond saloon keeper, who
was found dead ut his home, New
Years Day, with gun shot wound
in his side. One of the women under
arrest is thought TO be Leinen'S wife
and the other daughter of the dead
man. The police refused to- allow the
prisoners to be seen and would give
no particulars. A coroner'S jury re-
turned q verdict to the effect that
Leinen had probably been murdered,
but were unable to connect any one
with the crime. 1t is said there was
some difficulty among members of the
family about property to which Lei
men was an heir.

A BLUE CUT HOSEMAN.

Kansas City, Jan. candy" Ryan.
hoseman in No. 4 engine company,
has been suspended from the Kansas
City fire department as result of de-
velopments since the last case of blue
cut train ROBBERY. Andy is a brother
of the notorious BIZ Ryan, one of
the leaders in the old James band, who
was pardoned only a few years ago
from the state penitentiary, where he
was serving 4 long sentence for COM
plicity with the James band in the
Blue Cut robbery of 1880. The Ryan's
like Kennedy, the supposed leader in
the recent robberies, were reared in
the Cracker Neck district where the
James boys and the YOungers and the
Caldwells We're received as visitors to
the farmers homes and looked upon
as heroes of the first magnitude.
Andy" Ryan's suspension results
from the fact that Kennedy, the en-
gineer now under arrest and charged
with being the leader in the recent
robberies, frequently visited him at
the engine house, previous to the re-
cent rObberies, and the railroad detec-
tives have informed Chief Hale that
in Ryan's room they found some of
Kennedy's effects, including a satchel
which contained cloth mask.
On the night of the last Chicago and
Alton robbery, Ryan was not on du-
ty, it being his day Off. Flynn and
Powlin, the Cracker Neck farmers
who are under arrest, and who have
confessed. state that there were two
other robbers in the band, but that
they We're heavily masked and that
they did not know them. The two
strangers were taken to the scene of
the hOldup by Kennedy, they say.
Kennedy still asserts his innocence.

Laughlin, alias True, the two men ar
rested for completely in the robbery
of the Shome Brewery office, on Dec.
3, of more than $1,000, have confess

in the deal, Billy Wolf, was arrested
last night. He also confessed.
The first two men We're captured in
East st. Louis by Detective DmeSond
as they were about to board a train
for Indianapolis. The robbery in
question was one of the boldest in the
history of st. Louis. 1t occurred at
2:30 o'clock on the afternoon of Dec.
8, when Cashier Robert Hofferkamp
and an assistant We're in the Office
alone. The three men entered and,

SOlidatC
Topeka, KaS., Jan. Estate Bank
Commissioner John w. Briedcnthal
predicts that the number of Kansas
banking institutions will decrease ma
terially within the next two years if
not be cut in two. He says there are
too many banks in Kansas now for
the amount of business transacted
and he is advising consolidation in
every place where it is feasible. 1T
is simply Il question of time whether
many of these institutions shall go in
to voluntary liquidation or be forced
to suspend" said the commissioner,
land in order to prevent the latter
have advised a general consolidation
all over the state, especially in the
smaller towns"
Deputy commissioners who have
just returned from tours of the state,
examining all banks, report that in
nearly every town or city bankers are
figuring with each other on plan of
consolidation in accordance with the
advice of the commissioner.

REAL IRISH.
THE sHAMUs VBRIEN OPERA AS
SHE Is SUNG.
Genuine Irish Music and Actors That Give
it a Flavor of the
Old Sod.

New York, Jan. Accommodating on
the opera "Shamus O'Brien," which
was produced at the Broadway thea
ire last night, the Herald says: In
Shamus O'Brien one finds the charac-
ters and incidents long familiar in IT.
ish melOdrama-the gallant young he
70 on whose head price is set, the
Colleen in a red cloak whom he
loves and marries, the rejected Irish
lover with the bad face who turns in
former and betrays the hero to the
English; the young fellows capture,
and sensational escape at the last mo-
'ment through the aid of the kindly
priest.
These are all old friends and famil-
lar doings, but they took on somewhat
of Il fresh interest last evening be-
cause all of the principals and very
many of the chorus We're direct impor-
tatiOnS, who We're so entirely unlike
the Broadway celtic productions that
there was n decidedly novel and real
istic flavor to the scene. There was
n genuine brogue on Shamus' tongue,
born of the old sod, touch of real
Irish humor added to the wit of the
dialogue, an unmistakable Cork dead
illness to Kitty O'Toole's Irritation
with the British officer
The music is very beautiful. 1t is
quaint and delightful, much of it after
the pattern of Moore's lively melodies,
and the action is simple and direct.
The choruSes were not only sung last
night with spirit, but the crowd acted
with realism almost worthy of n
Meingen teacher.
Mr.. O'Sullivan was a manly Sham

and Il good voice. Mr.. O'Mara was a

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-In the forth
coming suit of Mrs. Nettie Craven,
the alleged contract widow of James
G. Fair, for slice of the estate, the
attorneys for Mrs. Craven are busy
preparing evidence to offset the report
of experts Ames and Carvalho, that
the pencil will, deeds and marriage
contract are forgeries. This will be
introduced when the case is called for
trial on Fed =. The representatives OF
Mrs. Craven are going to have few
experts themselves, who will be put
on the stand to declare the documents
genuine. All parties say they are
ready to go to trial Immediately. Mrs.
Craven's illness may. however, prove
n cause of delay. According to her
physicians her condition is still Sc

FOR PIRACY.
THE THREE FRIENDS PEOPLE IN
TROUBLE.
0lney is Hunting Them Down Through
The Federal Courts on
Technicalities.

New York, Jan. Ga special to the
Herald from Jacksonville, Fla, says:
1t is likely that J. NJ. Bars, attorney
for the owners of the Three Friends,
the Cuban filibustering ship, Capt. w.
Z. Lewis, commander; Jno. Dunn, en-
gineer; Capt. Jno. O'Brien, the yeter-
an fiilibuster and J. A. Huan and Hen
~ L. Fritot, agents of the Cuban jun
ia here, will be prosecuted by the Uni
ted States government on a charge of
piracy. Such a prosecution is fore
showed in libel which was filed to-
day against the Three Friends by
United States District Attorney Frank
Clark.
The libel is based on the expedition
which the Three Friends took from
Fernandina, on Dec. IA, and which,
failing to land, the fiilibuster maroon
ed on No Name Key, near Key West,
While trying to land the expedition it
is said, the Three Friends used two
twelve pound HOtchkiss guns against
pursuing Spanish gunboats. 1t is
guns and provided shell and shot
therefor, for the purpose of making
war on the King of Spain.
All through the document the Three
Friends is referred to as an armed
cruiser" fitted out by the men named,
for the purpose of making war on
Spain, in the interest of the Cuban in
Surgents.
This is the first time names have
been used in any libel filed against
the Three Friends. The present libel
also differs from previous ones in that
the violation of no particular section
of the United States revised statutes
is specified. Attorneys here think the
libel was drawn under Secretary OIL
ney's instructions. and assert that it's
terms foreshadow the prosecution of
the men named on q charge Of piracy.
That the government will push the
case is evident from the fact that five
newspaper correspondents who have
written about that the Three Friends
expedition have been SubpOenaed to
appear before the United States grand
jury tomorrow to tell what they know
about the vessel in her last trip.

1t Was Danced BY Four Tanked-Up
Negresses.
New Orleans, Jan. 6.-There was
great disturbance New Years Eve
night in st. Marks Baptist church, at
the corner of South Rampant and Toll
edano streets. AS a result services
were abruptly terminated and a foot
washing which it was proposed to
have was also postponed. Four ne
crosses named Ella Eomac, Celina
Picked, Mary Mead and Maria Reed,
were responsible for this unusual
state of affairs.
The women had been celebrating n
bit too much. They had partaken OF
considerable bad whisky at a corner
grocery and it was not surprising that
they appeared for services very much
under the influence of the weather.
They were noisy during the time they
were in church and when the services
We're nearing an end they jumped into
one Of the aisles and let out yells. that
would do credit to q Comanche In
dian. The minister pounded on the
pulpit with his gavel, but he was not
heard. The women danced the cou-
chez for the edification of those pres
ent. and the scene which ensued can
be better imagined than described.
After having driven almost every one
from the church the women them
selves were elected. John Watkins,
the deacon, appeared before Judge
Finnegan and made the proper affida
Wits against the women.

THE TEST OF LOVE.

Claus Spreckles' Daughter Gives Up
Wealth For Her Husband.
San Francisco, Cal, Jan. Cit is
currently rumored that Mrs. Emma
Spreckles Watson has decided to her
father all her property, voluntarily
making herself a comparatively poor
woman. Mrs. Watson consulted her
husband about this step before she
took it, and he gave his unqualified
consent 1t is said that before the
wedding took place Miss Emma
Spreckles informed her father that
she wished to marry Thomas Watson.
Claus Spreckles would not hear of it
and upraided his daughter when she
told him she intended to marry Mr.
Watson whether he liked it or not.
Persuasion proving unavailing, Mr..
Spreckles resorted to taunts, Gliding
his daughter for her ingratitude and
pointing out how much he had done
for her. Yesterday Mrs. Watson told
her husband she thought she ought to
deed back to her father all he had
given her, including United States
bonds to the amount of 100000 and
the property on Market street, known
rs the Emma Spreckles building.
With characteristic force Mr.. Watson
is said to have told his bride to do
what she thought right in the mat
ter; that he had not married her for
what she possessed and that he would
have married her long ago if she had
been poor girl and he had been able
to support her. This occurred at
noon. Within an hour the property
had changed hands.
