CHARGES AGAINST DREYER.
Alleged that Some of the Scheduled
Assets Are in Reality
Liabilities.

Chicago, H., Jan. sensational
charges concerning the business of i. S
Dreyer Il Co., the bankers whose assign
ment was forced through the collapse of
the National Bank of Illinois, were made
IN Judge Freeman'S court today in an
intervening petition brought in behalf of
Mrs. Mary Leicht. 1t is charged that
property mortgaged as security for Il
note for $4,000, upon which Mrs. Leicht
with regularly paid interest, had been
disposed of without her knowledge and
that the schedule of liabilities DIS pre-
pared by the receiver will be greatly in
creased if other charges of a similar
nature soon to be made the subjects of
petition are substantiated, as similar
mortgages, scheduled as assets, will
really become liabilities.
The Economist says today, referring
to the Dreyer failure: 1.-THE depositors in
the bank Will get little or noUhing. The
statement which has been prepared
shows that the bank was an empty
shell, with some $1,400,000 of liabilities
when the bank closed and with only
$4,000 cash OH hand"

MURDERER is HANGED.
story of Robert Laughlin's Attempt
to Throw Suspicion on
TranpS.

Broollsville, Ky, Jan. 9.-Eobert
Laughlin was hanged at 9:37 a. m. today
for the murder of his wife and niece the
crime being one of the most horrible in
Kentucky's bloody history.
On farm near Augusta, Bracken
county, Ky, Oh the night of February
II, 1896, Robert Laughlin, a tenant and
farm laborer, was guilty of the triple
crime of criminal assault on his niece,
the murder of her and the helpless wife,
and arson. A jury accepted his own
confession of his guilt and decided that
he should hang.
Robert Laughlin and his wife Sarah
on February II visited the family of Lee
Jones near Augusta and returning took
with them their niece, Mary Jones, then
II years old, TO remain over night.
Everything went we'll in the Laughhn
home and all retired at the usual hour.
About = o'clock in the morning OF
February 10 Mrs. Laughlin was aWak-
ened by a struggle and Il noise from
Mary's bedroom, and striking a light
she learned her husband bad attempted
an outrage upon the girl and she threat
ened to expose him. He thereupon
seized the heavy poker and struck his
invalid wife dead with n single blow.
The frightened niece attempted to cs-
cape by flight, but was felled at the
door by a blow in the back of her head.
Laughlin's next thought was to burn
the house and destroy the bodies, mutt
late himself and tell Il story of assault
and murder by trampS. The first part
of this plan-the burning of his house
he carried out promptly. lie hesltated
about mutilating himself and started to
Augusta about three miles distant to tell
his story to W. O. Holmes, high officer
of the Odd Fellows lodge. He changed
his mind after nearly reaching Augusta,
retraced his steps and standing near the
burning house cut his neck and burned
his clothing and then went to the home
lie. returned to his home and by the
embers repeated his story to crowds of
indignant people gathered there.
BloodhOunds were put on the track of
the supposed tramps. They followed
Laughing footsteps to near Augusta and
then followed them back TO the burning
house. The faithful animals traced his
steps to the home of his sister and fol
lowed 1t back TO the scene of his crime.
The testimony of these dumb animals
was too much Suspicion was fixed on
LauGhllR and he was arrested at Brooks
vile. There or the following Sunday
night he confessed. He was taken TO
Mayville to avoid lynchiGg and after his
trial and conviction he was removed to
Coyngton, Ky, for safe-keeping, where
he remained till brought to Brooksville to
be hanged. In the COvington jail his
companions and crOnieS were Jackson
and Nalling, murderers convicted and
sentenced to be hanged for the murder of
Pearl Bryan just two weeks before the
Lauehlm crime.
The crowd succeeded in breaking
down the enclosure before the prisoner
was public. Laughlin made no confes-
sion.

"CUBAN DIRT PILE"
Weyler'S Officials Thus Designate

awful butcheries at Guanabacoa accu-
mulatc daily. Adyices from Havana re-
port that Il great pit filled with corDses
and human fragments was discovered
Monday in a canetield not more than a
mile from that place. a careful investi-
CATION revealed at least twenty whole
bodies and many more legs and arms,
other parts of the dismembered bodies
being missing. OF the bodies remaining
ent!1e, four were those of women, three
of young misses, one of girl not more
than 10 years old, four of boys and the
rest Of men.
Permission to bury the remains was
brutally refused with n threat that if
this slaughter was complained of many
more would be added to what Spanish
officials called the Cuban dirt pile
THE cdict refusing permission to re-
move furniture and other things, unless
asked for twenty-four hours previously, is
taken advantage of by the Spanish sol
dlerS to wreck buildings and revile and
insult, II not Kill, persons suspected of
cuban leanlngs. Some families in the
poorer section of the city who did not
know of the edict started to move Sun
day night. After they had loaded their
furniture on wagons the police and sol
dlers fired on them, killing eight persons,
including several innocent passers-by.
In the official report it was stated that
the troops had been attacked and that
several rebels had been killed"

able as the flush Prices.

E. E. Bassett, lessee of the Silver Belt
mine at Ophir. in San Miguel county,
Southwestern Colorado, said 10 a San
Francisco Call reporter:
1--WE have got silver mining down Il
great deal finer in Colorado than it was
a dozen years ago, or even than 1t
was six years ago. We used TO think
we couldn't handle ore unless it ran
away up. but now our methods Of min
ing are better and our mode Of treatment
infinitely cheaper.
''Old dumps have been and are yet be-
ing worked over and we don't throw ore
now over with the debris We conduct
our mines carefully and make money,
and so to Go cents for silver is as good
now as So and 90 cents formerly. While
labor is only about 10 per cent. cheaper,
powder, railway freight and treatment
have fallen One-half.
1T is much the same in gold mining.
Formerly we wouldn't lock at anything
that wouldn't go $40 to $50 ton; We
wouldn't even consider it. But now
So or 81 is pretty good, and we man
age to make money"

INTRIGUE AGAINST WEYLER.
Plot Similar to that Against ,Campos
Exists.

New York. Jan S.-A COPYRIGHTED dis
patch to the World from Havana, via
Tampa Fla, January s. says: "An in
trlgue IS on foot here against Gen. Wey-
ter, as year ago there was an intrigue
against Gen. Campos and that fine
Old gentleman was compelled to
retire from Cuba. The leaders
of the Union Constitutional party (the
Spanish conservatives, whose policy has
always been that of rule or ruin. at that
time flndlng that Gen. Campos was dis
posed to recognize others than them
selves. plotted against him in Spain as
well as Cuba and the honest. sincere and
chlYalr0us gentleman was forced to re-
tire.
Already some of the same men who
!ed the movement against CampOs are
engaged in the same kind of pleading
against Gen. Weyler. The Marquis de
ApeZ Icguia is the official leader of the
conservative party. He is a Cuban, but
ne outdoes the most pronounced Spaniard
IN his conservatism. He is the manag-
ing director of Il great sugar estate near
ClcnfuegoS that is owned by a company
controlled by the Welsh brothers of New
York.
de Apez Teguia and others Of his ilk
nave done much to create the conditions
which led to present rebellion. He is
eXecrated by the insurgent leaders
Gomez tried to destroy the Constanzia
sugar estate but De Apez Teguia placed
a private armed guard of 600 men on the
property, which he now maintains.
Weyler has forbidden the grinding of
cane and sugar making as military
measure and thus he has run up against
The interests of the marquis
The latter does not dare openely to an
tagoniZe the captain-general. A cell in
Cabanas would very likely be the fate of
any one who attempted to do towards
Weyler what was done with impunity
towards Marshal Campos. The plotting
is conducted with caution and great Sc
crecy, but there are unmistakable indi-
cations that Weyler's official term will
soon end

SOCIETY In A FLUTTER.
Wife of Secretary Francis Breaks
Precedent and Shocks
the 400.

Washington, D. c., Jan. S.-Oficial
society in Washington is all in turmoil,
and Mrs. Francis, wife of the newly-ap-
pointed secretary of the interior, is the
cause of it. The row al grows out of a
violation of official etiquette peculiar to
Washington, and social gossips are talk
ing themselves hoarse tonight over the
question as to whether the wife of the
secretary of the interior merely made
mistake or intended to snub some Of her
callers.
1t seems that instead of returning some
formal calls she hired uniformed messen-
ger boys to distribute her cards, and now
the Washington official 400 is red in the
face.
The affair has created 40 end Of talk,
and has resulted in calling attention to
the fact that the only other instance
when the unique manner of returning
calls was adopted was in the case of an
other st. Louis woman, the late Mrs.
Noble, who was curiOusly enough also
the wife of the secretary of the interior.
Mrs. Noble did not trust to a messenger
boy, but sent out a man on a bicycle,
who distributed cards upon official and
resident society, and the result was an
immediate cold shoulder similar to that
said to be in preparation for Mrs. Fran
els.

HANLEY NOT GUILTY.
Jury Decides that the Santa Fe's
Traffic Manager Didn't Vio-
late the Law

Chicago, H., Jan. 9.-The jury in the
case of General Traffic Manager J. D.
Hanley Of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway, charged with viola
ton of the interstate commerce law. re-
turned verdict today of not guilty.
The jury retired at ) o'clock last even
ing with charge from Judge Grosscup
in which even the strongest partisan of
the prosecution could not fnd Il word to
lean upon. He told the jury to be eau
tious in giving any weight to the evil
dence of a participant in the crime.
John @. Taylor, the former live stock
agent of the Santa Fe road, was the sole
witness against Hawley and he failed TO
corroborate his story. He admitted his
own part in the rebate transaction, but
the defense presented a number of wit
nesses to show that Taylor had frequent
1y' informed his associates that he alone
had control of rebates
This was the only defense Attorney
Forrest made for his client and Judge
Grosscup told the jury it was pertinent
defense. The jury reached a verdict
within ten minutes after it had retired
last evening, and sealed it until this
morning.

THE CASE OF IVORY.
Dupe of Designing IriShmen Likely
to Get Twenty-Five Years
in Prison.

London, Jam 9-Intense anxiety is
manifested in Irish circles concerning
the probable fate of Edward j. Ivory,
the new dynamite suspect, who will be
brought to trial next week. As the in
dictment has already been found there
will be no preliminary delay. Although
an eminent array of counsel has been
engaged in his behalf. the net has been
SO closely woven around the unfortunate
man by the New York traitors and spies
of whom he is the victim that there is
not a shadow of doubt of his conviction.
Ivory is now said to be convinced that
he has been made the tool of Il number
of So-called representative 1riShnen IN
America, who think nothing of Wrecking
a life so that they may have fresh ma
terial for demagOgic proclamatOnS con-
corning the hatred Of the British people
for the Irish and for new appeals to the
SgnOrant and credulouS for funds. There
is absolutely no question that Ivory was
betrayed to the British detectives by the
very men in New York and Brooklyn
who induced him to undertake the So
called mission. and it Is also Il fact that
these same men have advised him to
make a spread-eaSie patriotic speech in
the dock, and which they can use in
their next proclamation 10 the Irish
race"
Ivory may get off with ten years, but
he is more likely to get twenty-five. EN-
traordinary precautions will be taken to
insure the safety Of Jones, the spy, upon
whose evidence the case against Ivory
mainly rests He has been in strict Sc
clusion since the police court proceedings
and will be kept at Scotland yard during
the forthcoming trial, ueing escorted to
and from the court every day by an
armed and mounted guard.

FRENCH BALL IS TONED DOWN.
Police of New York Put a Damper on the
Former Orgies.

New York, Jan S.-A spirit of change
hovers over a French ball since the new
three RS were invented Roosevelt,
Raines and reform. 1t may be better or
not for New York according as tastes
incline toward the shapely or the stately.
For quarter of a century now, with
every recurrence of the new year. New
York has looked for the annual renewal
of the ball of the Societie Franchise
FAmitie.
The ball last night at the Lexington
Opera house suffered greatly from the
modern application of the three RS"
the girl from gay ''Paree' was there
with all her American prototypes, but
her airy apparel and confding manners
were quite subdued by the blue coat with
the gruff voice, who muttered, eve don't
want any of that here. See?" There
was very little of the old imam about
town" element seen, and it seemed that
more beer than champagne was con-
sumed.
