Mooney received from r. c. Callahan information regarding the murder of Boucher at Manley, 8 small town but few miles from Southern Pines. Deep mystery surrounds the occurrence, and 1t is impossible at present to tell just how he came to his end
 It is now about ten years since Bou- cher lived In this city with his family, He was a carpenter by trade and con sidered one of the best Workmen in the city. But he was of a restless and rather quarrelsome disposition, and t- nally left his family, travelling all over the country and working wherever he took a notion. His son stephen, for mer vice president of the St. Joseph's society, employed at the Wheeler < Wilson factory, was to-day notified of his fathers death. He leaves another son, Thomas, who Is a brakeman on the Consolidated road, and several daughters. The family will probably arrange for the removal of the remains to this city.

More Speculation About the Record of
Baron Turkheim.
San Francisco, April 19.-Although
Charles ]. Won Arnold was not arrested
at Ogden on requisition papers from
Kentucky, it is extremely probable that
before many days are past the woman
who abandoned her alleged right to the
name of Delmas for the more potent IL
tie of Baroness" Won Turkheim, will
ind that the honeymoon has by no
means brought an end to her troubles.
Some people have been busy over the
bridegroom's record up TO his departure,
and il now seems likely that when
Charles J. Arnold, alias G. J. Won Ar
mold. alias TuTkheim. welded Jeannlne
Shurtlef Young he committed bigamy
A telegram was received yesterday 10
Chief Lees saying that requisition pa
pers from Kentucky had been received
in Sacramento for Won Arnold, but that
the Governor had refused warrant be-
cause the man had passed out OF the
state before the TequisitlOn was made.
SO the bridal party passed Ogden unmo-
Tested. There is no doubt that the bo-
gus baron has left behind another wife
i'm this city, although her present where-
abOuts are not known.
Furthermore the tracing of proofs or
Won Arnold's marriage to this woman
develops a possibility Of there being d
third woman who has legally borne his
name. and yet has never been separated
from him by law. Arnold was married
to Emma Paul. of Chicago, at Aurora,

AN EASTER BONNET ABLAZE.
1t Caught Fire While the weares Was Con-
suItlng Directory.

New York, April 13.-Two young
women entered a pharmacy in Brook
lyn tonight about $3.50 o'clock, and
politely asked the manager to show
them the city directory. Both were
and pretty Easter bonnets, ornamented
with large, wavy ostrich feathers. The
manager escorted them to the end of
the soda counter, where the directory is
kept. By the light of the cigar lighter
they sought to find the desired informa-
ton.
Suddenly the street door was thrust
open by a street gamin, who cried:
Hey. boss, that gals hats afire;
look"
Several persons beside the young lad
les were in the place at the moment,
and hearing the shout Of fire, turned
hurriedly around, ready to spring for
the door An unusual sight met their
gaze. The newly purchased bonnet of
one Of the women was blazing like a
torch. Her companion noticed the
burning headpiece at the same time,
and uttered a scream as she pointed to
the flaming bonnet.
The wearer of the burning bonnet
stood still and looked with bulging
eyes, while her face became deathly
white The manager ran forward,
grabbed the burning bonnet from the
frightened woman's head, flung it to the
floor, extinguishing the blaze with his
feet. One of the customers made him
self useful by smothering the sparks
that fell about the young lady's dress
and threatened to set it on fire.
The girl tainted, but quickly recov-
cred. The manager picked up the rem
DaDts of the ruined bonnet and handed
it to her.
"I am much obliged to you. sir" she
said, with some emotion, as she opened
the door "but you ought to put that old
directory further away from that nasty
cigarette lighter, where it could be
looked at without burning up peoples
hats"
"She's right. too" added her COM
panion. with a flash of her black eyes.

Frankfort, KY, April 13.-The gold

If Hunter is not elected after a few
trials they will demand that he retire.
They are determined that if they can

help elect a gold Republican.

WILLIAMSON, W. va. April 1S-Dr.
L. Rutherford. the father Of John Ruth
erford, one Of the men killed by Cap.
Hatfield last November, was taken very
i'll yesterday, and for time his life was
despaired Of He is better tonight, how
ever. and is thought TO be in no imme-
date danger now. DR.. Rutherford, who is
very old, took an active part in the prose-
cution OF his sons slayer, and it is be-
heved that his sudden breaking down is
due TO the excitement and eXertion at
tending the trial. The doctor is one Of
the Oldest and most highly respected citi-
zenS in this section Of the State, and has
suffered the most poignant grief at the I'M
timely end Of the three members Of his
family on the memorable election day.
Naturally enough the Rutherfords are
very much disappointed at the result of
the trial. and u very bitter feeling still
exists against the famous outlaw. but it
is believed no further trouble will occur

Clark and Bevins who killed John and
Anderson Mounts, while trying to arrest
them last November, and which, from
the unusual circumstances connected with
the killing, attracted such general atten-
tion, has been continued till the May
