Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 2s.-The remains of
George W. G. Ferris. known throughout
the world for his daring invention and
constructing of the great Ferris wheel, at
the Chicago Worlds Fair, are still held
at the crematory of Undertaken Samsse
in this city, for the unpaid funeral ex-
penses. contracted over a year ago. Mr.
Ferris was practically penniless at his
death. but carried a life insurance to the
amount OF $4,000. This. It is said. was
more than eaten up by the numerous
claims left.

An AFkAnBas Woman Hires Man to XIII
Tier Husband.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. August S.-The
people of Clarendon. Monroe county,
Ark, are fearfully wrought up over an
assassination that took place there on
July 80. and the developments which
took place on Saturday and yesterday.
on the night of July so, j. I. Orr, a
prominent hardware merchant of CIar-
endon, was murdered in his house. and
now his wife and two negroes are In
jail. the negroes being charged with the
murder, direct, and Mrs. Orr is charged
with having procured their services to
make way with her husband, There
was demonstration there last night,
and lynchIng bee mag yet be the ell
max.
Orr was most Hoully murdered, hav-
inE been shot through the window OF
his home. The search for the guilty
parties was unfrultful until Saturday,
when the sheriff learned Of statement
being made by q young woman that
Mrs. Orr knew something OF the assas-
BInation. 1t was charged that she hired
negro named Dennis Record, to kill
Mr.. Orr. A negro named MRnse Cas-
tie, however, volunteered 10 do the
work for the same amount, so 1t was
stated. Record, Castle and Mrs. Orr
were Immediately placed under arrest
Yesterday Castle said that he Killed
Orr, and charged that Mrs. Orr had
hired him to do the work.
Last night great crowd gathered in
the public square, and 1t looked for a
time as II there would be n lynchIng.
Judge Thomas, who had Just returned
home, made speech and made an ur-
gent appeal to the crowd not to mob
the prisoners. He announced he would
at once adjourn court ut LOnoke and
tsH the prisoners. The crowd dispersed
and Mrs. Orr, who had been kept In the
court house since her arrest, was con-
Vcyed to jail
Orr's life was insured for 5000 In the
knights OF PythIRs and Maccabees. HIS
wife Is the beneficiary. While Castle
alleges that Mrs. Orr hired him to do
the Job, there arc some conservative
citizens who believe Mrs. Orr is guilt
less. aud that trial will clear her.
There will be an examining trial Tues
dag,
