FIENDISH WAY TO KILL
Post -Mortem on Jacob Weinand Discloses
Atrocious Murder.

ST. LOUIS, December 23.-The post
mortem held on the body Of Jacob Vein
and who was found dead in his kitchen
Tuesday evening, revealed peculiarly
fiendish method the murderers had resorted
to to get rid Of the old man. When found
Weinand, besides being gagged and bound,
had a towel tightly twisted about his neck.
The post-mortem showed that far down
in the old mans throat, tightly imbedded
at the bronchial tubes, was a Wad of thick
cloth, which had been wrapped with horse
hair. Fingers could not have reached that
far, and stick was probably used to ram
the wad down. Then the old man was gar
roted with the towel
In 1893 a soldier at Jefferson barracks,
who had saved about $1,000. which he car
ried in his pocket, was found murdered in
his room. He had been bound. a Wad of
cloth and horse hair pushed down his
throat, and choked to death with twisted
towel The similarity OF the murder of
Tuesday evening with that Of the soldier
four years ago has caused excitement in
police circles. Every effort is being put
forth to discover Weinand's murderers, SUP
posed to have been two. but the only clues
found are button and piece of cloth
torn from the coat of one of them.

PROVISIONS OF THE DECREE
Proposed Action in the Matter of Belt Rail-
way Sale.
American Security and Trust Com
pany to Become Sole Trustee
An Appeal Probable.

IL was agreed, after a hearing of some
length today in Equity Court No /, that
the proposed decree of the court directing
the sale Of the Belt railway shall be sub
mltted to Judge Cox for his signature to-
morrow without fail The disputed points
In the proposed decree were discussed in
the presence of the court and a general un-
derstanding reached. Counsel will confer
this afternoon in regard to the language to
be used covering these points, and IL is be-
lieved, no further delay will ensue in con-
nection with the placing of the signature
of the court on the paper.
Judge Cox, it is understood will name in
the decree the American Security and Trust
company as sole trustee, on the ground
tnat the company represents substantially
every interest recognized by the decree.
Inc employees of the road have been al
lowed to intervene and are now recognized
as party complainantS.
Another point of interest is the intention
or the railway company, the unsecured
Court OF Appeals from the decision OF
Judge Cox.
Al the beginning of the hearing today
Attorney p: j. Ryan, on behalf of the
employees or the company, presented TO
Judge Cox the petition of the employees, out
lined yesterday in The Star, setting forth
that many of them are in dire distress and
in view of the coming winter will be sub
relief by the court During his remarks
Attorney Ryan suggested that now is the
time to put bondholders and workingmen
On an equal footing.
Attorney Ridout representing the rail-
road company. moved that the court make
an order permitting intervention on the
part of the men in order that the rights OF
the latter might be preserved in the Court
of Appeals, and the other counsel entering
no objection the order was passed.
Attorney Ridout suggested that the
court appoint three trust ees-Mr. Bond or
Mr.. CraiSin. representing the holders of
the first trust, the American Security and
Trust Company, and representative of
the Belt Railway Company and the re-
ceiver, and through them the creditors
who were unsecured.
Judge Cox stated, however. as intirnatcd
that he would name the American Secur-
fly and Trust Company as sole trustee. 1t
was further fntinlated that the fees Of
counsel representing the bondholders will
have to be paid by the bondhoders and not
rom the fund realized by the sale of the
road.
In objecting to the signing of the decree
on behalf of the unsecured creditors Attor-
ney 5. T. Thomas said that 1t seemed to be
the object to make all the costs of the
proceedings at the expense of those outside
the bondholders.

LOCAL NEGOTIABLE PAPER,
Representative Jenkins Discusses the
PrOVisions of His HiII

Representative jenkins bin relating TO
forms of negotiable paper. which was pub
lished in The Star recently, is attracting
the attention Of lawyers and legis.a tors.
Mr.. Jenkins intends to urge the House Dis
trict committee to act upon the measure
at this session.
The provisions of the BILL" said Mr.
jenkins to STIR reporter, ARE identical
with the English law upon that subject
which has been in operation for about
twelve years, and which has given general
satisfaction. 1t is also the law in New
York. Florida, Connecticut and several
other states
THE law can never become complete
ly useful, however to the business world
unless it is the same in every state. 1t is
the aim of those who are interested to
bring about its uniform adoption in this
country
The passage of the bill and the enact
ment by Congress of the law in the District
OF Columbia will go a long way toward
recommending its adoption by other COM
munities."

MCCLURE IS A CANDIDATE.

Former Representative From Ohio
Out for United Sta ties Senate.
Special Dispatch to The ESsnhgsStar.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, December 23.-It is
quite evident that x-Representative A. 8.
Mcclure of Wooster is Negotiating with the
democratic minority for support in race
against Senator Hanna. for the Senate. He
refuses to talk about the matter for publi-
cation.
Mcclure, who is a republican, is an un-
compromising advocate OF the free coinage
of silver. In this he will meet the require
ments of the majority of the democratic
members. who have announced that tissy
would not vote for any republican who
was not for free coinage against Hanna.
Though candidate when his party was
making a national fight for the single gold
standard, Mcclure supported free silver in
his speeches. This led to his defeat by Nc
Dowell the present congressman from this
district.

COMPLETE SET OF PORTRAITS,
Collection of Gen. Wilson, Chief oj
Engineers.

General Wilson, chief of engineers, has
just completed the collection of a complete
set of portraits of his predecessors in office
from the time of the organization of the
corps of engineers under the act of Con-
gress of March 49, 1902. To get the por-
traits of the first four chiefs of engineers
it was necessary to take Photographic
copies Of their portraits in oil on the walls
of the Military Academy at West Point
These were Col. Jonathan Williams, the
first incumbent of the office, and his I'M
mediate successors-Col Joseph G. Swift,
Col. w. X. Armistead and Gen. Alexander
Macomb. There have been fourteen chiefs
of engineers in all to date. Gen. Joseph q
Totten held the office for twenty-six years
from 1888 to 1864 and the next longest
service was that of Gen. A a. Humphreys
who held office for thirteen years from 1866
Col. Williams and Col Charles Gratiot d.
rected the affairs of the engineer DEPART
ment for ten years each. The others aver
aged a service Of about two years. The
portraits have been hung on the walls of
General Wilson's office.

from a share in one Of the greatest Of
them. Had not the captain general vetoed
the minister's plan Of accepting relief from
without the conditions would have been
bettered. From this source something
would have been done toward filling the
cient labor. A few ship loads of provisions
from the United States-fiour rice, corn
meal, grits, salt pork, jerked beef-would
have met the emergency. 1t would not
helped that policy. While food from the
United States would be useful for months
to come, succor from that quarter will not
now establish autonomy any more than it
will quell the insurrection. The effect
would simply be to help Cuba.

cause some embarrassment to army pay

officers whose orders require them to travel

are not entitled to allowances for sleeping

themselves This ruling will be particularly
hard on paymasters who have advanced
money to army officers to meet travelling
