DETECTIVE ACCUSED OF MURDER.

New York, Oct. 11.-Central Office De-
fcctive William Moore, who is under ar
rest suspected OF having stabbed his wife
to death last Wednesday, has been COM
mitted by the coroner The most dam
aging evidence was given by Mrs. Morri-
son, who said che heard Moore In the
house on the afternoon OF the tragedy
Two boys also say that between and 2
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon they
saw the detective leaving his home.
Moore denies that he killed his wife
and says that he was In the Wall street
district all day Wednesday until 8
o'clock, when he received word from
police headquarters that there was
something wrong at his home. He went
UP town and found his wife dead. The
effort TO suppress the fact that his wife
had died from stab wound of the alb
domen and the burning Of the murdered
womans clothing at the time of her
death are said to be responsible in a
measure for the arrest of Moore.

A Bursting Water Main
Does Much Damage.
WOMAN WITH REVOLVERS
Detective Under Arrest For Alleged
Vile Murder.
MIR. DEBS' IDEA ABOUT TRUSTS.

New York. Oct 11.-A mamotb water
main burst eaIry yesterday mocning at
the corner of Madison avenue and
Fo-ty-elghth street and wrought such
havoc with property that not even a
partial calculation can be rnade OF the
financial damage at present. For blocks
around scarcely a dwelling or public
building could be found which did not
suffer in a greater or less degree by
reason Of the volumes OF water which
poured into the streets, cellars and base
ments. The loss will reach far into the
thousands.
The main was probably cracked by a
blast which was fired in an excavation
Saturday afternoon. Then in the night
time, when the strain on the pipe was
greatest, il gave way and the flood fol-
lowed. The breaking of the four-foot
wall pipe was announced by rumbling
noise which awakened the people in the
immediate vicinity. Looking out of their
windows they saw great geyser in the
middle of the avenue shooting a vast
volume Of water so high that it reached
on the corner. Those who had no view
OF the fountain heard mighty rush Of
water.
The most serious DANCE was done TO
the railroad branch OF the Y. NJ. c. A.
building and TO the Knickerbocker A. G.
house. In the basement of the latter
place were located the dynamo machin-
cry. bowling alleys and the bathrooms.
These have probably been ruined. The
club officials place the losS at $4,000.
At first il was impossible TO locate
exactly the main which had broken until
there was a shutdown al the Central park
reservoir. In this way much time was
lost, while the deluge continued. After
five hours the flow was stopped. Almost
without exception the houses in the vi
cinity of the break were damaged, the
individual losses ranging from $500 to
$4,000.
The main which broke was laid in
1874. II has a capacity Of 100000 gal
Ions an hour with pressure of q pounds
to the square inch.

According to the protective theory the
imposition Of tax on noncompeting
articles adds to their cost to the con-
sumer. This theory would be aptly ex-
emplified in the proposed duties on
hides, as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. It is
estimated that the increased cost of
boots and shoes for one year under tho
proposed duty would amount TO s2o,-
100000. With free hides our manufac-
turers of leather goods have been able
to build up great export trade in foot
wear. As Mr.. Blaine said when it was
proposed to put a duty on hides in the
law of 1880: 1T will yield a profit to the
butcher only-the last man that needs

shoe manufacturers are vastly more
important than the interests Of butch

Nevada.

Nevada is the victim of circum-
stances. Rich in the potentialities Of
material greatness, and therefore strong
in the capacity to support a social struc-
ture, she presents tho battling paradox
of declining population in western
state. If she We're located in South AZ
rica, the nations of Europe would plot
and struggle for possession of her min
erals, lands and waters; if in New
South Wales, the colonial government
would employ the public capital to re-
claim her deserts and to enable the sur
plus population of Adelaide to make
homes upon her soil; if in Germany,
the imperial government would charter
rent banks" to operate under a COM
mission, in preparing the land for settle
ment and building humble houses. to
be purchased by home seekers ON gener-
outs terms; if in Holland, the servants
Of the little queen would extend the ad-
mirable colonies which have flourished

New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some of her biggest
industries, especially that of boots and
shoes. have been built up during our
quarter of q century of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts of
the world. Taxed hides would cripple
this and other industries. Her leading
senators pretend to represent her and
to put up a fight for free hides. In real
ity, if necessary, they will sacrifice free
hides to obtain high duties on sugar
with plenty of margin for trust prof
its. just why this is SO should be a
matter for senatorial investigation, if
such investigation would only investi-
gate. Fortunately for the sugar trust,
but unfortunately for the rest of us
7O,O0O,O0O people, the sugar trust un-
derstands well the art of making friends
where they will do the most good. 1t
has able attorneys to advise it how to
distribute its sweets to politicians and
lawmakers and at the same time to
steer clear of jails.
In this way and in this way only can
we account for the attitude of not few
prominent tariff makers at Washing
ton. The situation is interesting-de.
