Frederick. Md, Aug. 2.-It was current
ly report I'd in Frederick today that ARM
stead Teylor, who was convicted and SEN
tenced 10 death for the murder OF Dora
Rossnstein on May l3. st her home, in
Sli6ell, Montgomery county, had made a
confession and sworn affidavit stating that
he had killed both Louis Rosenstein and his
wife. end that John Alfred Brown was in
nocent
Sheriff Patterson said TO newspaper cor
respondent: Yes, Taylor admitted that he
had killed Louis and Dora Rosenstein, but
that Brown was with him at the time
and carried the iron bar with which he did
the bloody deed. But" the sheriff re-
marked, Taylor has told so many stories OF
the crime il is difficult for one TO know
which is true"
II was also reported that Taylor had made
a confession generating Brown, but the jail
officials say this is incorrect. Mr.. H. Dor
sey Etchison, one of Browns attorneys,
would neither affirm nor deny that Taylor
had made an affidavit vindicating Brown,
hut said he would have statement for the
press on Friday.
When seen at the Jail today Taylor said.
s'Yes, / told Mr. Patterson that ! killed
both them Jews but / cannot swear tha;
Brown was not present, Tor ne certainly
was"
Being asked how he had killed them, he
became very angry and said: I'm not 60
ing 10 tell | have been pestered enough
by impudent people and ] am not going TO
be bothered with them any more. IL
I've got to &c to hell hereafter, I'll go TO
hell, but ] won't be pestered by curious
people here on this earth.
Notwithstanding his passion, he never
uttered an oath, which had been his
usual custom prior TO receiving visits
from his spiritual adviser, Rev. Osborne
Ingle. Brown, in his cell, at the other end
of the tier heard Taylor talking in an ex-
cited manner, when he called 10 him TO
look TO the Lord He said, Lock to the
Kingdom and prepare your soul, Tor you
have not got many more days here. No
use to become excited now said the old
man, for il will avail you nothing. Bet
ter keep cool and think of meeting your
Saviour in the next world"
Brown seems to be collected and per-
fectly resigned 10 his fate. He said: III
] must die on the gallows well and good;
but ] am an innocent man, and Hump
knows il, too. My pastor, Father Coleman,
has promised to so to Rockville with me
on the day CT my execution, and ] certainly
am glad of that, TO have him by my side.
With his presence l know ] will be able TO

TWO SUITS FOR DIVORCE.
I Wives Bring Charges of Abuse
Against Their Husbands.

Two petitions for divorce were filed to-
day in the Supreme Court of the District
In both instances, the petitions are made
by the wives, and their stories are those OF
continual abuse by their husbands since
their marriage.
Carrie Campbell Jones, who married
Thomas Jones on June 10, 1897 at Fort
Worth, Tex, alleges that her husband has
persistently ill-treated her ever since theit
marriage. Although he is employed in the
Postof.ice Department in this city, and re-
ceives 500 per month, she says he con-
tributed only $50 to her maintenance dur
ing their married life. Mrs. Jones also
states that her husband spends his salary
On other women. and has frequently as
saulted her in a most violent manner,
whenever she complained.
She says that one child has been born to
her as the result of the union. and through
her attorneys, Wilson and Barksdale, she
asks for its custody and guardianship. She
also asks TO be allowed TO resume her maid
en- name, Carrie Campbell.
Mrs Valeria Berkley, through her attor-
ney, A. B. Webb. asks for absolute divorc,.
from her husband. Clarence Berkley. TO
whom she was married in 1894. She charges
that he is addicted TO drinking to excess
and that he has often assaulted her and
offered such ndignitias as to make her lie
with him unbearable. Before they were
married six weeks, Mrs. Berkley says, her
husband treated her so inhumaniy as 10
cause her to have him arrested. For his
offence he was fined $40 in the Police Court
and since then he has not returned TO livo
with her She asks TO be allowed the priv
ilege of resuming her maiden name, Valeria
Persiney.

Eisenbeiss. ali prominent druggists, were
arraigned before Judge Taylor in the Po-
lice Court this morning charged on COM
plant OF Prof. Hird. the official chemist OF
the District of Columbia, with selling
drugs which were not up to the standard
required by law. Through their attorneys
the defendants applied for jury trial and
were released on s. collateral each TO-
their appearance in court when notified
The cases were brought by Prof. Hird
after a patient investigation into the mat
ter of selling impure drugs. For some
time past complaints have been made by
different parties to the Health Office re-
garding certain prepared drugs which lack
eGa strength In some cases the drugs, 1t
is claimed, had no effect, and, on the con-
trary are claimed to have made the con-
sumer i'll.
The preparations referred to spe-
cialIy are what are known as pat
ent medicines and are not prepared
by the druggists themselves but are
bought from out-of-town manufactur-
ers through their agent in this city. The
druggists are supposed to know the ingre-
dienIs of these preparations, however, and
they are assumed TO be aware of the con-
tents of the bottles and should know, ac-
cording to the District chemist. that the
drugs contained therein are subject TO
changes because of atmospheric conditions
and evaporation.
Knowing this, il is claimed by the prose
cution. the druggists arraigned today pro-
ceeded TO lay in large supplies of the prep
arations which would not be disposed of
in the ordinary course of trade until some
time after the period through which they
are said TO retain their strength.
Samples of the medicines were obtained

WEEKLY VITAL STATISTICS.
The Health Report Shows a Decrease
in the Denth Rnte.

The Health Department today issued the
following mortality and health bulletin for
last week:
The deaths in the District during the
past week were 105 as compared with 115
in the week previous. The annual death
rate consequently fell from 21.34 per
thousand of all inhabitants to 19.4S. For
the whites the rate was 1902 and for the
colored 1854. Deaths from diseases of the
brain and nervous system declined from
II to II, and from affections of the heart
from to 8. There were 4 fatal cases of
diphtheria, of typhoid fever, and 2 of
cerebro-spinal meningitis.
AT the close of the last report there
were q cases of diphtheria in quarantine
During the week new cases occurred and
10 were discharged, leaving Is in isolation,
in fourteen precincts.
''Of scarlet fever there were 81 cases un-
der treatment at the close of last report.
During the week new cases were reported
and 8 were discharged, leaving 25 cases
with warning cards in 20 premises.

New York, Aug. 2.-The stock market
opened quiet and with an uncertain tone.
The only pronounced movements were in
the industrial quarter where sharp ad-
vances were noted in Tennessee Coal and
Iron and Sugar refining. Reports Of
settlement of the race war attended the
movement in the last named.
Recessions confined to practical limits
were common in the railway list. For the
most part the slight reaction in prices
seemed to be owing to apprehensions OF a
close money market and further unset.
tliEg factor was the appearances of yellow
fever outside the limits of the original out
break.
London furnished higher range of prices
for American stocks, but were sellers in
this market particularly of Louisville and
Nashville and Anaconda mining.
The appearance of an ample supply of
offerings OF money on call after the first
hour was followed by a decided improve
ment in the tone of the market which
scored a general advance. Tennessee Coal
and Iron remained the conspicuous feature
with sharp rise. but the strength of the
market was much better distributed than
it was in the earlier dealings. Aside from
Tennessee Coal and Iron the strongest
features of the market were Sugar refining,
American Tobacco, and the granger shares

MIKE TIERNAN RELEASED.
The Veteran Player on the Giants
Roster.


New York, Aug. Panic reigns in the
ranks of the New York baseball team, and
the new manager, Fred Hoey, who got
John b. Days JOB, is having trouble. By
order of the man who is solely response
BILE for the slump in baseball affairs at
the Polo grounds. Mike Tiernan, who for
the last thirteen years has played right
field for the local team. has been re-
leased Tiernan has declared on several
occasions that he could not play ball un-
der the present ownership. but with re-
duced salary he has been forced to fill his
old place against his viii. Mike has been
i'll at different times, but has received no
leniency from the management. In fact,
he has been fined and laid OF without pay
on several occasions, charges having been
brought against him by the clubs hired
spoilers.
Like other players on the team Tiernan
has not had the heart to overwork himself
in view OF the treatment accorded to him.
So now the veteran has been released and
is free to sign where he pleasss. He will
not be idle long, as several league mana
gers believe, that with a liberal salary
coming TO him and proper handling, Mike
can play ball with the best men in the pro-
fession.
Tiernan made his bow with the New
Yorks in 1886, as a pitcher, being drafted
from the Jersey City team. He did not
have much success in the box. but his
ability to hit and run bases made him val
uable in the outfeld. Pitcher Nichols, of
the Bostons, once said that he would rath-
er face any other batsman in the League
than Tiernan in tight place and that Mike
had a wonderful eye. During the constant
acts of rowdyism and disorder practiced by
the New Yorks under Freedman's tutelage,
Tiernan always behaved himself admirably
and was a gret favorite everywhere.
AS the New York Club is in bad way
financially it is reported that the salaries
of nearly all of the players will be cut
down between now and the end of the sea-
son in order to reduce expenses. Tiernan's
release is part OF this policy.

from the druggists named in the warrants,
and, il is alleged that these preparations
when analyZed failed to show the required
strength, and warrants were issued. This
practice OF obtaining such preparations in
large quantities is not confined to the men
for whom the warrants had been issued,
but is general among druggists, it Is said.
Ii is also said that large purchases are
made in order TO secure certain adyan-
tages offered by the manufacturers.
1t is claimed that there is no question
raised regarding the purity of the drugs
wnen originally sold by the manufacturer,
but that the fault of the druggists lies in
the fact that they permitted the prepara-
tions TO grow stale on their hands, and
thus lose their strength.
