Or Ills Boy Would Be Killed at
First Arrest.
Letter Was Mailed in
Omaha.
Pat Grove Positively Identified
rs One of Abduct0rs.

Omaha, Neb., December 3o.-The Cud-
ahy family remained at home today and
beyond giving out an exact COPY OF the
text of the latest letter received by him
from the kidnappers, MIR. Cudahy refused
to see any representative OF the press
The photography of the letter is poor,
as is also the writing, which is In
the same hand as the letter OF December
49, demanding the ransom. The post
mark shows that the letter was mailed
at the post office at a. M, Saturday,
December ~, showing clearly that one OF
the gang OF abductors was in the post
office on that late II the letter had the
same origin as the letter demanding the
ransom. That the origin was the same
lie attested by Zen. John Gown, who
saw both missives. The letter reads!
"Cudahy-If you value the boys life
at the price Of bullet, you will with
draw the reward at once. And let well
enough alone it You don't do this we will
finish the job with a bullet, If any man
whether City or innocent is ever arrest
cd a bullet viii close the boys mouth.
You will think of this warning when 1t
Is to Late
The only marked difference between
this letter and the letter demanding q
ransom is in the greater number of mis-
spelled words,
Detectives today occurred information
which they expect will result in locat-
ing the buggy used by the men In the abb
duction. Another man has been found
who positively identified Grove as the
man who acted as a principal in the
negotiations with the Sohneiderwinds for
the Grove street cottage, John Smith. q
broom maker, employed by the Schneider
wind broom factory, has positively
identified Pat Grove as the man who In
his presence, rented the Scheniderwind
house on Grove street, which was used
as a prison for Eddie Cudahy, while he
was being detained for $25. 600 ransom.
This is the first positive personal recogni-
tion of any OF the bandits and establishes
the most important point yet developed
in the case.

NO FILIBUSTER EXPECTED
Prospects Of the Army Bill In the Upper
House.

Washington, December 99.-Senator
Hawley OF Connecticut. chairman OF the
m iIitary committee of the Senate, had q
talk with the President today about the
situation of the army bill In the upper
house. The Senator told the President
that he did not anticipate prolonged
contest in the Senate. We Will go ahead
W ith the bill as soon as the Senate
reconvenes on Thursday and unless un-
due opposition develops will not ask the
friends of the ship subsidy to give priori-
ty to his measures. lie Is OF the opinion
now that the time before the expiration
OF the morning hour, each day, Will
suffice to dispose of the bill and send 1t
into conference but II the unexpected
should happen, he may be forced to con-
test the right Of way with the shipping
bill. The Senator EXPRESSED perfect con-
ndencs that there would be no tlibuster
against the army bill.

PRISONERS BUILD FIRE.
Then Had Good Time In Endeavoring
to Put IL Out.

New York, December 30.-When the
100 prisoners in the West Chester county
jail at White Plains hard on Saturday
night that their fellow prisoner Edgar @.
Bunrz, the 10 year old murderer had been
sentenced for life, they made desperate
effort to escape.
Forming into two separate companies,
the prisoners kept guard while two lead
ers went to lower tier and piled q
dozen straw ticks from the cell 90 is In 8
heap on the floor.
They then set tirs to the heap. Instant
Iy the jail was in an uproar. The cry OF
fire was raised aud TAILOR johnson who
was in his office, heard 1t.
johnson saw that the entire jail was
filled with smoke and he knew that If he
attempted to enter the prisoners cage
alone the men would seize him and ia ke
away his KEYS.
"You will have to roast he shouted
"You started the fire now bake or put
it out"
The burning material lay on the cement
floor and the turnkey knew the fire
could not damage the jail. When he
closed the door again the prisoners i'm
mediately set to work with their bare
hands and extinguished the lire. BurnV
did not have snythin9 to do with the at
tempt at jail breaking as he was In the
woman 's'department.

MONEY GONE.
Rumor says Poor Department. IL short
fFands.

Some members OF this city council who
are inquiaitive are trying to iind out how
rear 10 the rules laid down by them
selves at this beginning OF the present
year the board of overseers OF the poor
have been running. 1t has been current
Iy reported about the city building shat
one OF these rules which requires that a
committee known as the auditing COM
mittse shall have approved every bill be-
fore It 10 paid has not been strictly lived
up to and that there have been many
bills paid which did not bear the sigma
tuTe OF the auditing committee but was
only approved by the COMMITTEES OF the
overseers In whose department. this
money was expended.
1t is stated that the poor department.,
even with good LUCK, Will overrun Its
appropriation this year by at least sea, 900.
When the estimates committee was In
session last spring the board OF over
seers asked for $50, 900. i've thousand more
than they had received the year before.
Some members OF the board. so 1t is said,
appeared before the estimates committees
a second time and said they could get
along well on As. 600 by practicing the
economy they intended to inaugurate In
this board during the year. The esti-
mates COMMITTEES cut this amount down
to $780, COO and as was expected by many
who knew much about the demands
which are made on this department with
Its load of overdraughts from year to
year the $4,000 appropriation Will be
exceeded.
1t is said that these things will be used
as an argument for the passage OF tbs
new charter In the next session OF the
oity council.

gresham William III. Moody who. after

abundant measure, assured him that they
would watch his every step while al
his post and said that ne enters the diplo-
matic service at time when the rela-
lions OF the nation are different from
what they have heen hitherto, with the
other countries OF the world. No other
nation exercises greater power or In
fluence in the conduct Of the worlds
affairs than does the United States. II

people ana their institutions, the great
ness OF their resources. ana the illimit-
able military resources OF the country
Mr.. Moody spoke in reference to the
CnnHFREE-
the Nioaraguan canal, ship subsidy BILL
the army bill and the litigation now
bsfore the Suprems Court OF the United
states. AS to the Nicaraguan canal bin,
Congressman Moody said that he felt thai
the chanoss of 1t final passage at this SEES
sion OF Congress are not very good BE-
cause of the difficult entangIementi
with England growing out OF the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty. On the ship subsidy
bill, he said that he believed 1t could
not become q law without radical amend
ments.
The great question interesting us al

SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS.
Those in Maine Reflect the Prosperity
\of the State.

Augusta, December 30.-The annual
report OF state bank examiner Fremont
L, Timbsrlake on the condition OF the
savings banks, trusts and banking oofu-
panies ard loan and building associations
and also foreign banking companies,
having a license TO do business In the
state, covers the fiscal year, ending De-
oembar /, 1900. There are 81 savings
banks In the state whose assets amount
to ST., O76, all.67; II trust and banking
companies whose assets are Si3, 29S. 4Os. 92 ;
thirty-three loan and building assooia-
tions whose assets are s9.s52. 1858. This
makes a total of 10l institutions OF this
class with total assets or $5I, 238, 7SS. IL.
This Is q gain of one in the number OF
Institutions reported and OF Si,93i, 627. III
in their assets. Thers Is gain OF ll,A2e
in the number of dsuositors In savings
banks, trust companies. and share hold
ers In loan and building associations,
during the year, as against q correspond
ing gain OF 1897 In 1899. The returns
show that favorable conditions have CON-
tinusd through the official year; that
these state Institutions have made q de-
cided gain both In deposits and assets,
greater than the average gain In the past.
Mr.. Timberiake advances the belief that
they will attain even greater prosperity
during the New Year.
Mr.. Tim berIake believes that the future
welfare and the good OF the state general
ly calls for a reduction of the state tax

DESERTS TO QUAY.
A Populist Pcnnsyivania senator
Tarns Republican.

Harrisburg, Pa, December 3O.-State
Senator washburn OF Crawford county
who was eIectsd two years ago as q
populist, with Democratic and Prohi-
hilton endorsement, issued formal
statement tonight announcing he had
allied himself with the Republican par
ty and shall participate In It's councils
and organization. He concludes by
saying that while he does not regret his
support of Bryan and the parties that
elected him, he desires to be "a CO.
operator rather than q fault-findsr, and
recognising that the Peoples arty In
Pennsylvania is extinct as state orga-
nization and that the overwhelming ma
jority OF the peopls Of this common
wealth desire an instant cessation OF the
factionaI strife that has for years cor
rupted the politics and prevented the
proper administration OF the affairs OF
the state, ! shall henoeforth ally myself
with the Republican party. and partici-
pate in Its councils and organizations.
Mr.. Washburn's declaration created
much surprise, as he was counted on by
the Democrats to vote with them on the
organization of the Senate for the party
nominee for u. s. SENATOR. His desertion
gives the friends Of Col. Quay control OF
the Senate ana practically insures the
election of William r. snyder OF Chester
as president pro tenn. u. Ex-senator
Penrose, who IS here aiding Col. Quay
In his canvass for United States senator,
says the action of Senator Washburn is
another Instance OF the DRIFT OF political
thought now going on and that as far
as Pennsy lvania is concerned, the Popu-
list party is disintegrated. The Demo-
Gratis claim that the withdrawal OF Wash-
burn from the party's ranks will not
affect their fight against ex-senator
Quay.

CHEF MAY DIE.
Barre, VT, OmeiaI Was Much Worse
Yesterday.

Barre, Vt, December SO.-Chief OF
police Patrick Brown, who was shot by
Italian anarchists last Thursday morn
ing, wasj considered to be much worse
this morning, and the attending physi-
claus were Obliged to perform an opera
tion upon him. They took from his alb
domeD, just over the left kidney, a 80
calibre bullet and this evening he Is re-
ported to he quite comfortable, with
good prospects OF recovery, should he not
suffer a relapse, The bullet removed
today was OF different make from that
taken from Chief Browns foot last
Thurs day although both are the same
calibre The physicians are as yet unable
to tell the exact location OF the bullet
till remaining in his body, but they ap-
prehend no i'll results from it.
There are now ten Italians In Jail
under suspicion. The police have secured
ths names of all members OF the anar-
chist society and have more or less evil
dence against several of them. They may
also be able to produce some of the rec
ords OF the anarchist meetings. The po-
lice have eleven of the ring-leaders under
surveillance and although the latter have
not been arrested, they can be taken into
custody at any moment Many interest
ing developments are expected to come to
light at the hearing of the ten suspects
next Wednesday.
