KEPT A PROMISE
MADE HIS WIFE
Missouri Farmer Murders His Children
and Shoots Himself - Were
Burned to Cinder

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. PA special
to the Times from Chillicothe, Mo-,
says:
The charred remains of W. j. Thorn
as, farmer, and his three children
were found in the ashes of their home,
II miles southwest of Chillicothe, this
morning. 1t is supposed that Thomas
murdered the children and then set
fire to the house and took his own life.
About year ago Thomas wife COM
mitted suicide by taking poison. Thorn
as frequently told his neghbors that
his wife on her deathbed exacted a
promise from him that he would make
way with the children and himself and
follow her.
The dead are:
WILLIAM THOMAS, the father,
aged 55.
EDNA, 10 years old.
DAVID aged IA years
JOHN, aged Is years.
The affair was not discovered until
early this morning, when a neighbor
living about a mile distant saw that
the house had been burned. He hurried
over and it was a sickening sight that
met his gaze. The house had been to-
tally destroyed by fire and the charred
remains of Thomas and his three child
rem were lying in ashes. He aroused
the neighbors and in a short time there
were hundreds of people at the scene
of the tragedy. The coroner was noti-
fed and an inquest is to be held.
Thomas had been the victim of a
long series of financial reverses. 1t
was a result of these reverses that his
wife took her own life.
A story is told that at the time his
wife killed herself it was the Under
standing between her and Thomas that
he was to kill himself and the child
rem then. but his nerve failed him and
he failed to carry out his part of the
agreement.
On Sunday a Kansas City livestock
firm took under a mortgage foreclos-
ure his last herd of stock. Thomas
went to some of his neighbors to try
to get help to save his horses, but was
refused. Then he went to town, bor-
rowed a pistol and a target rifle. Re-
turning, he stopped at a school house,
where his little girl was attending a
Christmas entertainment, and took her
home. Not till this morning was any
thing more seen of any of the family
The bodies were burned beyond rec
ognition and the manner in which they
met death will probably never be
known.
The iron of pitchfork in the ruins
leads to the belief that Thomas spread
hay over the house after numbering
the children and shooting himself and
then set the place on fire

MEANS VICTORY
FOR FREE SILVER
The War in the Transvaal Shows That
Gold Is Too Small a Basis for
the Worlds Money.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-"If the war in the
Transvaal continues for two or three
months longer the cause of silver will
have been won,' said Former United
States Senator Dubois of Idaho, one
of the silver republican leaders, VINO
was in Chicago to-day.
THE short time it has been in prog
ress,' continued Mr.. Dubois, has fur-
nished proof of the contentious OF the
friends of silver that there is not enough
gold in the world to form the basis OF
the worlds money, and if the war con-
tinues the length of time l have in
dicated the truth of this will have been
too apparent for successful contraVen-
zion.
II believe the Transvaal war will be
a mighty influence in the campaign OF
next year in this country and that the
object lesson will convince the people
of this country that it is not safe to
place upon gold the entire burden of
the monetary volume of the world.
1T may be interesting to observe
that the panic in New York was SIM
ultaneous with The passage of the house
gold standard bill. Now, if a panic
had followed the passage of a silver
free coinage bill the wise men and the
press of the land would have attrib-
uted it to the passage of the bill"

MONEY Is STILL
TIGHT IN BERLIN
Prevent Exports - Experiments
With Russian Petroleum.

Berlin, Dec. 24.-The advance in the
Reichsbank rate to 7 per cent. had a
great effect upon the securities mar
ket Values declined only noderat tely-
There was nothing in the nature of a
panic, as occurred in New York and
London. Notwithstanding the fact that
the advance in London exchange con-
tinued. reaching yesterday pfennings
above the gold point, gold exports have
hitherto been but moderate. The Ber-,
lin joint stock banks are doing all in
their power to prevent exports.
The correspondent of the associated
press was informed to-day by persona
in the highest banking circles that the
continued rise in London exchange Isl
due to the fact that New York has
sent large amounts Of three months
money bills there for discount, taking,
in return London exchange. A further
cause assigned is the heavy purchases
of American railway securities by Ger
many, payment for which is now due
in London. These shares are chiefly
Canadian and Northern Pacific.
Private discount is declining. Call
money is rising. The outlook for busi-
ness seems excellent excepting that of
dear money. 1t is impossible to raise
money owing to the decline in house
building. which is expected eventually
to react upon the iron trade.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Superintenden
Kimball tomorrow will instruct Lieu
tenant Johnson of the revenue cutter
service, who is attached to his office,
to proceed to the scene of the wreck
and make a report of the circumstances
attending the loss of life. This is the
practice always followed by the life
saving service when there is loss of
life attending an accident to a steam
er to which the surfmen have given as
sistance. The superintendent believes
the distressing loss of life is probably
due to the hurried efforts of the men
to get away from the ship, instead of
waiting until the breeches buoy could
be rigged up between the ship and
shore and their rescue effected. AS
the vessel appears still to be in good
condition, the men, he thinks, might
have remained on her an indefinite
time before there was any real danger
of losing their lives. Ship hands of
deep water boats, he thinks, take to
the boats too often, practice not fol-
lowed by men devoted to coast naviga-
tion, who realize the opportunities for
rescue by the breeches buoy

MAJOR LOGAN'S DEATH.
Was Killed by Sharpshooter Lodged
in Tra ri,

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 24.-Apropos
of the reports put in circulation at the
time of the death of Major John A.
Logan, killed in action in the Philip
pines, the following letter received to-
day by L. S. Leiberman from his son,
Dr. B. Albert Leiberman, major and
surgeon Of the 33d United States in
fantry, Major Logan's regiment, eff
fectua1ly disprOves the statement that
Major Logan was shot by his own
men:
San Fabian, Luzon. Nov. IL, 1893
AS l wrote you day before yesterday
that We We're to attack town, l will
now tell you that we did it, and al
though We whipped them, it cost us
several killed, including Major Logan.
We left here at ! d. m. and marched
about two or three miles, when we
ran into the enemy. who We're in
houses, rice fields and tops Of trees

Corporal Robinson, in the advance,
was wounded by the first volley. Major
Logan, in passing him. stopped over
and asked him if he had first aid
package. and was shot through the
head just above the temples l was
only a short distance behind, and I
called to my acting hospital steward,
Mercier, and we went forward to him.

cier his feet, so as to move him. when
poor MERCER was shot through the
heart from tree, under which Major
Logan was. ! looked up and saw the
fellow about Is feet above me, and,
drawing my revolver, I shot him, and
he fell from the tree. Then, right at
that spot, several others were killed
or wounded, and when I establishes
my dressing station at that place the
sharpshooters in the tree tops made
things very lively for us until a detail
of men cleaned out the tree tops. One
hundred and fifty natives We're killed,
so prisoners and about 200 guns cap
tured. The road was something terri
BILE. as Il had been raining, the rice
fields were like lakes and the streams
were greatly swollen and the bridges
destroyed, so that we had to ford or
swim all of them. The natives all had
Mausers and they knew how to handle
them. The battle lasted about threa
and a half hours. General Wheaton to-
day sent us a letter of congratulations
on our victory, the biggest one since

KAPIOLANI ESTATE.
Steps Are Taken Towards In
cOrDOratiOn


Following the example of the S. G.
Wilder, John Ii and other large es-
tates, the Kapiolani Estate will short
ly be incorporated. In fact, the pre-
liminary steps looking thereto have
already been taken. The new corpor-
alton will control all of the properties
owned by the DOwager Queen prior tC
her deed of gift to the Princes Jonah
and David, as we'll as those retained
by her and to which her nephews have
fallen heir since her decease.
Articles of incorporation of the Ka-
ipiolani Estate, Limited, were filed yes
terday morning at the Interior Office.
The estate is incorporated for 100000
The officers have not yet been elect
ed, but will be later in the week.
The articles of incorporation are
about on the same lines that have
been followed in a number of other
similar estates in these Islands. While
the capitalization is placed at 100000
it is a matter of talk and generally
known that this amount does not eX-
press the full value Of the late Queen
Dowager's large property. The hold
ings include some of the best property
in this city, and the incorporation is
no doubt the first step toward improv-
ing these properties and making them
more productive.
