ing day Joseph ID. Keith a well-to-do farm
err living near the kiferS, and his son
Thomas We're arrested and taken to Ev-
ansyille. The elder Keith denied any
knowledge of the crime, and said he had
not heard OF the finding of the body. The
son was communicative, and told of a
note which he had taken from his father
To the girl on the day of her disappear
ance. He had read the note, in which the
writer asked the girl to meet him near his
barn that night. NoIa's father said Keith
was the last person seen with his daugh-
ter. Keith had been paying considerable
attention TO the girl, enough TO cause jeal-
ousy on the part of his wife. Keith's buggy
was found. freshly painted. and stains of
blood were discovered or the buggy rug.
This was considered condemning evidence
against Keith.
After being locked up Keith confessed
he had hired a peddler to take the girl out
of this part OF the country, but had not
intended that she should be killed. The
peddler was arrested and brought before
Keith, who Immediately broke down and
admitted that he had lied. The prelimi-
nary hearing was held in Evansville june
2. On June y the slippers and hair of the
dead girl were found at a well in Warrick
county. This settled the jurisdiction, and
the prisoner was removed TO Boonville.
The grand Jury of Warrick county returned
an indictment charging him with murder
in the first degree. When the case was
called, Oct. 3, the defense asked for a
change of venue to Gibson county, which
was granted. The trial was set for Dec. II
in this city.
A mob composed of Keith's ~neighbors
started for Boonville on the night OF July
Is. but the sheriff took the prisoner to
Evansville in time to prevent "a lynching.
Keith has been in jail here for the past
six weeks. He has retained good attor-
neys, and will make a strong fight. He
says he is not afraid Of the result.

to-day issued the following statement: 1.-The
refusal of the National League ~'magnates'
to consider and discuss with us seriatim our
requests as Representatives of the Protec-
tive Association of Professional Baseball

probably is intended to express in words
their complete ignoring of said requests col

therefor, seem to require US, as such rep

and to the public:
w shall continue to stand-as we have
always stood-for the avoidance of a base
ball war; If that is possible.
I'VE recognize and shall respect the In

National League, or vice versa
Pursuant to our bylaws, none of the

to Save the Derelict-Cufic's First
officer Drowned.

QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 16.-The White Star
line steamer Cutie, Captain Caven, from

to anchorage here at 4 o'clock this morning
by the British steamer Kansas City, Capt.
Lewis, which sighted the Cutie Dec. 3 in
latitude 57:34 north, and longitude 21:24
west. the day the White Star liner lost her
propeller. Owing to the terrific weather it
was impossible to connect the hawsers until
Dec. Il. These parted in a fierce gale, and
the Kansas City only succeeded in resum-
ing towing the following day. The hawsers
broke again last night. off Kinsale, but
after a short delay towing was resumed.
Off Cork a local tug aided. In one of the
attempts TO connect with the Kansas City
Mr.. Crosby, chief officer of the Cufic, while
trying TO swim to a line attached to a
buoy afoat from the Kansas City, was
drowned, although a powerful swimmer.
The Cutie will await the arrival of tugs
here and will then proceed TO Liverpool.
She carries no passengers. The Kansas
City's machinery was strained, and there
is a heavy list to the starboard. She will re-
coal and may resume within a day or two
her voyage to New York, whittier she was
bound from Bristol, after touching at
Swansea Dec. 6. when she sighted the dis
abled Cufc.

MOST CAREFULLY PLANNED.
Suicide of an Unknown woman i'm a
Cincinnati Lodging House.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 16.-A woman calling
herself Gladys Esmond committed suicide
in a rooming house here to-day. The sui
eide was most carefully planned. The bed
on which she was found dead lar been
dragged from the original position I'm or
der to bring it in close proximity to the
gas jet. Over the face of the suicide was
a sort of miniature tent, made from a piece
of muslin, upon which was stitched a
quantity of cotton batting. Fitted upon
the gas jet was a paper tube, the other
end of which was under the face cover
ing. The gas was then turned on. Exam
nation of the batting proved that ii had
been soaked with chloroform. On tine bed,
within easy reach, was a sharp knife.
The suicide was a woman of about twen-
ty-eight years of age, and ii is believed
she gave a fictitious name to the proprietor
of the house when she rented the room
on last Saturday. She was well dressed
and appeared to be a woman of consider
able refinement. In a letter addressed to
the coroner, which was found in the room,
the woman stated that she was an orphan
and usually made her home in Chicago.
The letter also stated that she had been
i'm poor health and was tired of life.

Lucien Morden, of Montague, Mich, was an
occupant Of the boat. when it capsized. and
was drowned before he could be dashed to
the overturned craft. The two rescued men

lower limbs. They were taken to the Holy
Family Hospital, where the following story
of the terrible experience was told by Mr..
Shields:
Upon receiving orders to close the light
house for the season we prepared to leave
the island, together with our helper, Lucien
Morden, of Montague, Mich, Mrs. Shields
and Mrs. Davis, my wife's niece. We left

from the sold and seas which washed
over US.
about seven hours after the accident
happened my wife s~uccumbed, being I'M
able to longer endure the terrible condi-
tions which the exposure TO winds and
seas caused. Mrs. Davis, after holding up
for several hours after my wife's death,
also succumbed, and only McCauly and
myself remained alive, with the two dead
women dashed by our sides.
A one time We were within a short dis
lance of the main land and would have
been washed on the beach, when to our
dismay the wind changed and we were
gradually drifting out into the lake again.
Fortunately, however, we were taken by
the wind into the north passage which rs
often taken by boats coming up the lake.
In this manner we passed Friday night,
suffering terribly from the cold and hunger,
until Saturday at l d. m, when we sue

lookout of the steamer Manhattan. AL
though the weather was very rough the
captain of the steamer, after much maneu-
