CREEDoN WASN'T IN IT.
Knocked Out BY Joe walcott In First
Round.

New York, April 25.-Nearly 5000
sports assembled at the Lenox Ath
letic club tonight in the hope of seeing
rafting bout between Joe Walcott,
the negro boxer, and Dan Creedon, the
Australian. They were matched to so
twenty rounds at catchweights, but
although Creedon weighed fully twenty
pounds more than his opponent, the
negro made short work of him. With
a left and two right smashes on the
jaw, Walcott foored Creedon thrice.
The third time the Australian went
down he was dead to the world" and
Walcott was declared the winner, amid
the cheers of his hackers, who won a
pot of money on the result.
The bout lasted only a minute and
fifteen seconds. and as the opening
mill between Martinger and Carl Beck
was ended also with Knockout in the
first round. the club patrons had the
very unusual experience of seeing two
pairs of big boxers settling their argu-
ments in about three minutes of actual
fighting.

Positive Statement That Montana
mines Are Sold.
INCOMPLETE SHAPE YET
STANDARD OIL COMPANY AT
HEAD OF DEAL.
Wall Street Rumors That New Com
pany Will Be Formed With Cap
italization of 100000, 1000
Stock to Be Exchanged For That
of Other Properties.

New York, April 25.-The absolute
statement was made today by one of
the most important interests in the
copper trade that II. H. Rogers of the
Standard Oil company, acting for a
syndicate, has obtained control of many
of the heaviest producing mine proper
ties in the United States, inluding Mon
tana mines and those in the Lake Su-
perior region. Among them are the
Anaconda, Isle Royale and Copper
King.
The deal, however, is not yet in a
complete shape, and on that account
those most interested are averse 20
giving out any details. All the arrange
ments for carrying out the plan have
been arranged, and are in the hands
of Mr.. Rogers.
The EveningaPost says:
THE international deal in copper
properties which is now attracting the
attention of speculative interests cane
to public notice about two weeks ago,
when the announcement was made that
H. H. Rogers of the Standard Oil COM
pany had obtained an option on the
majority of the stock of the Anaconda
mine. This stock for years was owned
abroad and by J. B. Haggin. Marcus
Daily and the late Senator Hearst
Some time ago these interests were
believed to have sold 40 per cent of
their holdings to the Rothschilds at
about $50 per share. An attempt was
made by the foreign bankers to buy
the rest of the stock, but their offers
were refused.
Marcus Daily Sells Out.
Recently reports were current that
the holdings of Marcus DAILY had been
sold, and following these reports CINE
the organization of a syndicate to form
what has been Familiarity called the
copper combine The combine, ac-
cording to current Wall street stories,
was to form a new. company with 4
capitalization of S4O0, 600 600. the stock
of which was to be exchanged for that
of other copper properties.
1.-THE statement was made yesterday
that Anaconda stock would be taken in
at value of s92 per share. This was
somewhat perplexing, in view of tue
fact that the stock sells now at g..
but the discrepancy was explained to-
day by the statement that for each
ninety-tWo shares of Anaconda there
viii be given 100 shares of the new
combination stock.
In this city Ladenburg, Thalman &
Co. have apparently had charge of the
financial arrangements, and have been
supposed TO represent the foreign in
lerests in the matter.
The Rothschilds. who owned. by their
first purchase, 40 per cent of the AMI
conda stock, are said to have one
half interest in an underwriting syndi-
cate, the other half, according to cur

EVIDENCE Of BEELER'S CRIME
MURDERER WHO WAS LAST IN
SALT LAKE.
Body of His Victim Found-How
Lake Detectives.

Denver, April 25.-Parties arriving
from Byers. this county, seventy miles
east of Denver, report the finding of
the body of Otto Goette, or Brown, as
he was commonly known, a sheep
ranchman, who was murdered on his
ranch Sept. 80, 1898. Goette disap-
peared and his 1000 sheep were after
wards sold in Omaha. A draft for the
sale receipts was cashed at the Colo
RADIO National bank in this city, by r.
H. Beeler. 1t was believed that Goette
was murdered. and suspicion pointed to
Beeler as the murderer and efforts
were made to capture him, but all trdce
of him was lost at Salt Lake.
The body of Goette had been buried
near a stream on his ranch, and the
spring rains had unearthed it. A large
hole in the skull corroborate1 the muir
der theory.
Chief of Police Hilton, when shown
the above dispatch last evening, re-
membered very distinctly the circum-
stances of Goettes murder, and the eff
fort made to capture Beeler in this city
less than six months ago. The pres
ent chief received the dispatch appris-
ing the local department of Beelers
supposed presence in Salt Lake, while
acting for Chief Pratt. and, with De-
tectives Sheets and Gillespie, set to
work on the case. Beeler was located
here with a sheepowner who was his
employer at the time of the murder.
The officers depended upon the latter
to turn Beeler over to them, he having
promised to do so at his room in the
Knutsford. The tables were turned,
however. the officers being thrown off
the track by the sheepman, who also
warned Beeler of his imminent arrest.
The officers had not, prior to this, told
his employer what Beeler was wanted
for, the former thinking he had per-
haps committed some petty offence
While in the city. When the real facts
were disclosed to him he did all in his
power, apparently, to assist in the APP
prehension of the supposed murderer,
but, as stated in the dispatch, all trace
of him was lost.
Beeler was a cowboy. and Goette, the
murdered man, a sheepraiser.

FOR TWO YEARS,
Delaware Will Have But One Repre-

DOVER, Delaware, March 1o.-The Dem
ecrats and regular Republicans, who have
been such important factors in the triaan-
gular Senatorial fight, had an under
standing this evening, which amounted
to an agreement to disagree, but to leave
Delaware with only one Senator at Wash
ington for two years What do you reg
uIars propose 10 do?' asked the Demo-
Gratis. IF you will support Senator Gray
or give him five years more in recognition
of his services to the nation at this critical
time, we will support him to man"
This was declined by the regulars. but
the agreed, if the Democrats want to weed
portunity by taking up Col. Dupont again.
for whom some of the Democratic assem-
blymen had expressed a desire to vote.
The Democrats said no to this, and the
result is that they are voting for whom
soever they please, while the regulars
have again brought Col. Dupont into the
fight The Democrats, therefore, will not
again take up Senator Gray as unit, be-
cause they realize the necessity of leav-
ing the Senatorship an open question for
two years hence, and the Importance of
arousing the enthusiasm of the leading
Democrats by votes for them tomorrow
and Monday the last days of the session.
1t is consequently expected that to-mor-
rows voting will last we'll into the after
noon and will make the day memorable
one in the history of Delaware.

WHEELING, W. VA, SATURDAY MARCH II, 1899

She said that when she met Parslow at
his brothers house the morning after the
murder Parslow told her that it was all
over. Subsequently to the first trial she
admitted to the sheriff that she was pres
ent in the room when ParSlow killed her
husband. Parslows admissions were to
the effect that the woman had been urg-
ing him ever since New Years before
the murder to kill her husband, and that
while Poirier was asleep he had cut his
throat with knife. Parslow said that
after the first blow he did not remember
what took place, because he was laboring
under great excitement. He maintained
that the woman exercised an influence
over him which ne was powerless to re-
sist Mrs. Poirier had no children of her
own but she adopted a child who was in
the house when the
MURDER WAS COMMITTED.
Mrs. Poirier was the third woman, out of
the eleven condemned since confederation,
to receive capital punishment, not includ-
ing the case of Mrs. Sternaman, who was
acquitted at her second trial. The two
women who have suffered the death pen
atty since confederation are Phoebe Camp
bell, who was hanged at London in 1872
for cutting her husbands throat with a
knife, and Elizabeth Workman, who was
hanged at Sarnia a year later for beating
her husband TO death with a club The
sentences of eight of the eleven murder
esses were committed TO life imprisonment
The crime of six of these women was the
murder of their husbands. Mrs. PORTER
is not the first murderess to be condemned
at st. Schoastique. In 1881 Genevieve La
fleur was convicted of being an accessory
to murder and sentenced to be hanged, but
she was sent to prison for life instead.
