"Then he came over and told me about
it. He said: It's all over with Poll. I've
croaked her, sure
merry was pretty badly broken up
that night We left Poll in the bed and
sat by the stove all night. We did not
sleep. He thought a good deal of that
woman-too much of her. But he had
such a temper no one could get along
with him.
1.-THE doctor says she could have lived
twelve hours. No one could live and
stand the beating that man gave her.
You know, she had not been eating reg
ularly for three or four days, and was
weak, anyway"
Smith also told about the burying of
the body in ditch outside the city and
of the journey south of the murderer and
his companions.

Edward Duff Kills His Wife and Her
Mother

NEW HAVEN, Ct, Jan. 20.-Edward
Duff, aged 40. shot and killed his wife
and mother-in-law, Mary Maher, at
their home here last night after vainly
trying to induce his wife to live with him
again. He had been drinking heavily.
When he called his wife left the house
to avoid him. He followed and shot her
down in the street. Then he returned
to the house, and, going to the room
where his wife's mother was sewing, un
conscious of the tragedy, shot her in the
neck. She died almost instantly.
John Reilly, boarder, who was in the
adjoining room, met Duff coming from
the sewing room with a revolver in his
hands. He asked Duff what he had done
and received as reply shot which
grazed his neck. Reilly ran off and Duff
took to the street. He passed over the
body of his dead wife as it lay on the
walk. He reloaded his revolver and,
seeing that the crowd was gathering
walked briskly down the street carrying
the revolver exposed all the time. The
news of the murder spread rapidly and
few minutes later a patrol wagon with
three officers rushed up. Duff fought
like a tiger, but was disarmed and
locked up.

CHINESE NEW YEAR
Hundreds Of Tourists Witness the Fes-
tivities at MidniGht

This is the Chinese new years day.
In spite of the edict issued some months
ago by the emperor Of China, the new
year was ushered in last midnight with
the usual firing of Chinese firecrackers,
the burning of prayers, services in the
joss houses and other ceremonies which
only a Chinaman can explain.
By the tourists in the city the scenes
in Chinatown last night were witnessed
with more interest even than they would
view beautiful landscape. Hundreds
of them saw Chinese life there for the
first time and it was long after midnight
before they left the quarter. The Chi
nese merchants profited from this inva-
sion and sold souvenirs, silks and Chi
nese wares, much of which was entirely
new to the visitors. There was not as
much noise in the Chinese quarter as
usual but all of the stores were deco
rated with lanterns and in front Of each
were placed punches of burning punk
and small candles. The festivities will
continue for several days and tonight
there will be even more to see than there
was last night.

The Ohio Legislature Takes the First

COLUMBUS. O., Jan. 20.-The sena-

fore the senate today, as expected. The
crowds waited in vain during the morn
ing session for a report from the in
vestigating committee. AT its sessions
Tuesday and Wednesday nights the
senate committee appointed to investi-
gate the charges of Representative Otis
of Cincinnati that he had been offered
$3.50 by H. H. Boyce to vote for Hanna

prietor of the Neil house, where Hanna
had his headquarters; S. NJ. Dunlap,
manager OF the Western Union Tele-
graph company; w. F. Truesdale, man
ager of the Postal Telegraph company,
and F. A. Ross, manager of the Tele-
phone company. Last night 5. d. Hol-
lenbeck of Chardon, auditor of Geauga
county, and member Of the Republican
state executive committee, was also be-
fore the committee. All the witnesses
refused to answer questions because
their attorneys notified the committee
that it had no jurisdiction under the
senate resolution on which 1t was pro-
ceeding.
The committee has report to present
to the senate recommending the arrest
and punishment of these five witnesses
for contempt. 1t is delayed because the
sickness of Mr.. Hollenbeck, who was al
lowed last night to return home on ac-
count of his illness. AS the five names
are included in one contempt resolu-
ton, it was decided by the committee
today to wait until Mr.. Hollenbeck can
return and appear before the bar of the
senate.
Senator Finck's bill to gerrymander
the congressional districts of the state
was introduced in the legislature before
adjournment today. The main purpose
of the bill and Mr.. Finck frankly ac
knowledges it, is to legislate Congress
man Grosvenor out of office and put a
Democrat in his place. Consequently
Mr. Grosvenor's district, the eleventh,
is almost completely changed. But be-
yond this there Is a revision suggested
in the makeup of the seventh, tenth,
twelfth. seventeenth, eighteenth and
nineteenth districts. The famous old
eighteenth district, from which Presi
dent Mckinley was elected to congress.
is restored. Upon the vote of 1896 the
Democrats would have carried the pro-
posed eleventh district by 1866 and on
the vote of 1892 by 1886.
Congressman Grosvenor, however,
claims he could carry the district as re-
arranged. The bill is one of the direct
results of the anti-Hanna combine and
the Democrats claim they can pass it
with the aid of the Republican boilers.
The senate investigating committee
met tonight and adjourned until morn
ing. No witnesses were called and
there was no discussion, the meeting be-
ing purely formal.
