SPURNED AT THE GRAVE.
A Brothers. Treatment of His Sis
ter at Their Fathers Burial.


NEW YORK, March 24.-An open grave
stood between brother and sister in Cy-
press Hills Cemetery on Wednesday, but
it was too wide for the brother to reach
out his hand to his sister on the other
side They had separated several years
before, in Brooklyn, and not even
the death of their father could soften the
brothers heart. steeled against his sister
for a long time.
1t was the grave of John Devlin, once
prominent in the political and business life
of Brooklyn. He died at the home of his
son. George Devlin. in Vernon Avenue,
Ravenswood. Long Island City. The FAM
ly had lived in Long. island City for five
years Prior to taking up his residence
with his son John Devlin lived with his
daughter, Mrs. Charles J. Hnman, at 40
Decatur Street. Brooklyn. Mr.. Hinman
has tobacco business, at 222 Pearl Street,
New York.
Litigation over the disposition of their
fathers estate cansedythe trouble between
Mrs Hinman and her brother George. The
daughter learned of the death of her faith
er on Tuesday through a friend, who had
been notified by the son.
That night Mrs. Hinman and her hus-
band started for the home of George Dey-
lin. in Long Island City, arriving there
about IL o'clock. They walked up the
long narrow path leading to the house,
and rang the bell. When the dor was op-
ened, the daughter says, she was denied
admission by her brother, who ordered her
away.
No death message had been published,
and the daughter had no knowledge of the
place of her fathers burial. She remem-
bered that ne owned plot in the Cypress
Hills Cemetery, and found that the body
would be buried in the plot on Thursday.
Early Wednesday morning Mrs. Hinman,
despite the advice of her husband, started
again for the home of her brother, accom-
panied by a cousin. When they entered
the grounds, she says, they were approach
ed by two men and a big dog. and were
escorted out side the gate and told that
they could not remain about the place.
Mrs. Hinman said that her brother ap-
peared and ordered her away, telling her
that it was the expressed wish Of her faith
er that she should not be allowed to look
upon his face again.
The funeral services took place in the
Ravenswood house, and the daughter re-
Trained from making any attempt TO be
present. She waited in the cemetery ard
followed the hearse to the grave. She
stood opposite her brother.
Mrs. Hnman carried a green wreath in
one hand, and when the casket was laid
beside the grave she placed the emblem
one one end of it. The workmen say that
il was no sooner put there than George
Devlin ordered a coachman to remove it,
and the man picked up the wreath and
cast il aside. Mrs. Hinman was complete
ly overcome by this.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Archibald A.
Mcleod, millionaire railroad man, who

clemency in the case of John Wilson, his

more than $100, from his employers resi-
dence.

the recorder.
Your Honor, he has been in my en-
ployment for twelve years, and has always
been a faithful servant. / want to give
him a chance" replied Mr.. Mcleod
Il deny your request" said the recorder,

months in the penitentiary." Glancing at
Wilson, he continued: Sometimes a foot
pad steals from sheer necessity. but you
violated your employers trust
Mrs. Mcleod yesterday at No. II West
Fifty-irst Street said she and her husband
had no idea their butler had been steal
ing their silver. until detective. who bad
been watching Wilson. called at the house
and told them about it. They were aston
ished, and at first would not believe their
man was thief. An investigation, how
ever, convinced them that the butler bad
been stealing their slverware for two
years. 1t was his practice to take the
stolen silver to a pawnshop.
''We did not miss it," said Mrs Mcleod.
because it was silver that was not used.
The butler frankly confessed he had stolen
it. He was very repentant, and could give
no excuse for his act. A search OF the
mans rooms revealed several pawn tick
cts. Most of the silver has been recoy-
ered''
Mrs. Mcleod said that Wilson had been
in their employ for twelve years He is
about thirty-five years old, and came from
Philadelphia. They always had confidence
in him. and he had full charge of the

LIBERTY FURNACE SOLD.
The Transfer Said to Mean Its Re
newed Operation.

WOODSTOCK, Va, March 24.-Liberty
Furnace. one of the best equipped furnaces
in this section which Is situated ten miles
west of Woodstock, has been sold condi-
tionally, and it is announced that it will
be put in blast as soon as it can be re-
stored TO its former condition. The sale
will also include the railway from Eden
burg to the furnace and thousands of acres
of valuable mineral and timber lands.
A New York attorney spent several days
this week and last in the clerks office here
examining the title TO the property, and
upon his abstract of title rests the final
consummation Of the deal. 1t is thought
here that the title is sound and that the
present owners can give title with gen.
eral warranty. The new company expects
to rebuild the railroad and make ii a STAN
dard gauge and extend it to the West Vir
ginia coal fields, which are less than fifty
miles distant.
The operation Of Liberty Furnace would
mean much to the residents of that section,
as large number of them are almost
wholly dependent upon the plant for live
lihood.

IF we may judge by his utsesances at
the Bennesssville State campaign meet
ing, Senator Tlllman's obvious pur-
poss is to boost up the totsering dispen-
sary system, and aid in electiog q
Governor and Legislature that will
iasure it's continuance for the next two
years to come. That is his one object
for appearing 10 the political arena at
this time. He has 40 candidate. at
least none for whom he would publicly
elecsioneer. It's just any old thing
now to defeat prohibition. The
Senator knows, too we'll that the people
would resent sny dlctation from him as
to The men for whom they should vote.
So it is measures and not candidates
that be advocates. His pet seems to
be 10 danger, and he haatens to the
rescue of the darling thing That puts
him on record at least as opposed to
the election of Col. Hoyt. His advice
goes far enough to caution the voters
against casting their ballots for pro
hibitionis.s-that is necessary in-
ference, and if that is ali the Senator
has TO do at this juncsure it were better
that be abandon the stump iu South
Carolisa aud take a rest until be is
called by tie National Democratic
Committee to give his labor and talent
to the work of electing MIR. Bryan.
Mr. Tillnau is man Of large ability
and vide influence. 1t will not do for
him to oramp up his powers to 6s the
narrow limits of the liquor question 10
South Carolina. It makes him look
too little, and will beget resentment
which had best not be eugendered.
So far as his efforts are concerned, they
are not likely to effect the purpose to
which they are directed.
we believe Col. Hoyt is going
to be elected. Evidently Mr.. Till
maa shares that belief or he
would not be on the stump. Whether
prohibition prohibits OF don's prohibit,
doesn't enter the question to any ex-
tent. Whether there will bs any diff
ference 10 liquor legislation will not be
taken much into consideration. Those
questions will be solved as they come
ao, aod must be trusted to the next
legislature. The majority of the voters
,re satisfied that Col. Hoyt viii more
sigidly enforce the laws, whatever they
may be, than any other candidate now

That is reason enough for his election,
