Lewis Knapp VIII Write No More Queer
Inscriptions on Tombstones - bies at
Oshkosh After Having Gained World
wide Notoriety.
Kenosha, Wis, January 29.-LeWls
Knapp, widely known as the builder OF
tombstones with blasphemous inscrip-
lions, died of heart disease last even
ing, aged IS years. He was one OF the
earliest pioneers of Kenosha, and as
a merchant of the early days took &C
tive part in the commercial rivalry OF
the time when it was believed Keno
sha was destined to outstrip Chicago.
He retired from active life fifteen
years ago. and since that time has
erected monuments which have been
the source of his notoriety. The fea-
lures of the monuments, modest APP
pearing in themselves, which have at
tracted such wide interest, are the in
scriptions On one tombstone erect
ed for himself he has for years adver-
tised that "He died as he had lived for
forty years-thoroughl infidel to all
ancient and modern theological hum
bug myths.
There are five of the monuments, all
erected in the city cemetery on the
most prominent elevation. The in
scriptions on them would fill probably
two columns of an ordinary newspaper
and are all most pronounced in senti-
ment against the Christian religion.

Horizons court to-day to be hanged
February IS. This date is just three
months after the murder was commit

limit allowed by statute to condemned
murderers. Merry had apparently re-
covered his nerve and when Judge
Horton pronounced sentence the con-

beyond a slight flush. Merry's attor-
neys made the usual motions for
new trial and arrest of sentence, which
were overruled, the court saying there
were absolutely no grounds for them.

ON MONDAY,
According to The Plans of Reed, Din
gley, Dalzell and Others the Teller
Resolution Will Be Disposed of in
the House.

Washington January 29.-The deter
in the House of Representatives to-day
that the Teller resolution for the pay
ment OF BONDS in silver, passed by the
Senate last night, should be disposed Of
in the House on Monday in order that
the attitude of that branch of Con-
gress might be placed before the
country Immediately. This conclusion
was reached after numerous confer
ences between Speaker Reed, Chair
man Dingley, of the Ways and Means
Committee, Messrs. Dalzell and Hen
derson, of the Rules Committee, and
other influential members of the
House. Late in the day the resolution
which had come over from the Senate.
was referred by the Speaker to the
Ways and Means Committee, and
Chairman Dingley at once gave notice
of a special meeting Of the committee
at 1890 o'clock Monday morning. At
the same time he notified Democratic
members of the committee that his
general purpose was, substantially, as
follows:
The bill will be considered by the
committee Monday and an adverse re-
port made on it. No amendment or
change in the phraseology will be
made, but the adverse report will be
on the resolution as it stands. This
will be submitted to the House when
it convenes on Monday and plans made
to dispose of the matter before the
DAYS session closes. AS to the pro-
ceedure on the floor, Mr. ID -gley made
no predictions, beyond saying that it
was proposed to dispose of the subject
on Monday. This will doubtless re-
quire a special rule as to the debate
A basis for such rule was presented
to-day by Mr.. Dalzell, member of the
Rules Committee, in the form of a
resolution providing that the subject
be considered Immediately after the
report of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. The committee will probably
be ready to report by IL o'clock, SO that
under the DalZell resolution the de-
bate would begin shortly after noon.
1t is probable that before the House
assemblies the Dalzell resolution will
be SO shaped as to fix the hours of
debate and set time for a vote. The
determination to bring the subject to
an immediate issue gave general salts
faction among the majority members.
Some of them had desired to put aside
all other business to-day and vote
down the Teller resolution before this
week closes. Representative Johnson,
of Indiana, took the lead in urging
this movement, and secured the assent
of most of the Indiana Republicans
and several other members to move
ment in this direction. 1t as finally
concluded, however, to let the resolu-
ton go TO the Ways and Means Com
mittee, with the distinct assurance Of
Chairman Dingley that the issue
would be pressed to a conclusion on
Monday

Special to the Register.
Marietta, Ohio, January 29.-The
local police authorities have practic-
ally given up hope of locating Morgan
insolvency, and incline to the belief
that he has drowned himself in the
Ohio river. Preparations are being
made to drag the river above and be-
low the scene of the crime in a search
for his body.
The general opinion is that McSwee-
ney is in hiding near the city if not
now inside the city limits. Numerous
strangers in surrounding towns have
been arrested on suspicion, but none
have proved to be the much wanted

REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S

Anxious to Make Clear Their Opposition to

Washington, January 29-The Re
publican Senators who voted in oppo-
sition to their party on the Teller bond
resolution, will probably seek an OPP
portunity next week to explain their
position at length, and IN doing so
they will seek to have the further con-
sideration of the Hawaiian treaty post
poned. While these Senators are all
favorable to the treaty, some of them
speak quite indifferently as to its pres
ent fate, and it is intimated they would
like to hold it up temporarily i'll order
to emphasize their antagonism to Sec
rotary Cages financial position at the
expense of the treaty. This, il is ar
gued, would serve to make it clear to
the country where they stand.
