Religious Plot.
Paris, Oct. "a letter received by
the Havas Agency from Saloniea, dat
ed Oct. 4, says:
The American consul here has just
received orders to make arrangements
with the vail (governor) for the pay
ment Of the ransom of Miss Stone.
The United States will advance the
money, afterwards settling with Tur-
key.
The Turkish authorities have made
numerous arrests among the Bulgari-
an population, without distinction Of
religion, and nearly all have been put
to torture in the hope Of extracting in
formation.
A prisoner named Divinity said an
understanding existed between the
Protestants and the Macedonian COM
mittee and that Miss Stone was even
acting in concert with them, with the
view of obtaining funds for political.
religious propaganda.
These declarations wrung from d.
minity under torture are valueless.
What is certain is that the captain Of
the band designated for the payment
of the ransom place in proximity to
the Roumanian frontier. which proves
that he hopes to escape the Turkish
police and that the Bulgarian police
do not cause him anxiety.

Professor Adametz made some inter-

variety Of Gruyere cheese he obtained
the following statistics: In fifteen

from 10000 to 100000 microbes were
found, and when the cheese was sew
enty days old the population had in
creased to 100000 in each fifteen

lilies Where She Had Been Employed
as Housekeeper-No Motive Tor the
Crimes Has Boon Disclosed.


Dayton, O., Oct. S.-Mrs. A. J. Whit
wer, widow residing in this city, has
been arrested by the police at the in
stigation of the coroner and is held a
prisoner at Central station, pending
an investigation into very. serious
charges. Mrs. Whitwer, the police
say, Is suspected of IA murders, the
list including four husbands, five chill
dren, one sister and four members of
different families in which she was
employed as housekeeper. The last
supposed victim was her sister, Mrs.
Anna Pugh, who did a week ago under
mysterious circumstances. An autopsy
performed at the request of Mrs. Whit
wer's mother, who came here from
Detroit, is said to have disclosed the
presence of arsenic and copperas in
the stomach. Following closely upon
the death OF her first husband, Fred
Schwelger, came, according to police
department data, the death of two chill
dren. The second husband died sud-
denly several years after the wedding
and the children of this marriage died
in rapid succession. Her last hus-
band. A. J. Whitwer, died last April.
In each instance death was somewhat
sudden and all were strangely alike.
The prisoner Is At years OF age and
formerly lived in Middletown, this
state. She has two sons in the Phil
ippines and a sister, it is stated, In a
New York asylum. No motive for the
suspected crimes has been disclosed.
Drugs found In the rooms Of Mrs.
Whitwer are In possession OF the po-
lice and will be examined.
The third husband Of Mrs. WMtwer
was william Stowe, who died at Mid
dletowi 1ihder symptoms, it is said, Of
arsenic poisoning. Mr.. Stoves death
at that time created sensation and
was the subject OF an Investigation bv
the coroner. It was shortly after Mr..
Stoves death that Mrs. Whitwer came
to Dayton. She assumed the duties of
housekeeper for Charles K. Keller, q
wddower. Keller died shortly and the
information since gained by the cor.
omer concerning Keller's death Is that
his adlment was similar to that of a
person affected by poison. She next
acted as housekeeper for John A.
Wenz, an East End druggist. Wenz
died In September, one year ago. The
doctors attributed his death TO blood
poisoning, hut now tell the coroner
that they were dissatisfied with their
diagnosis at the time. Two months
before Mr.. Wenz' death his four-year-
old son died suddenly. Mrs. Whitwer
next resided with Mr. and Mrs. Gabe-
Ter, Irondale. These two persons died
suddenly and the coroner now says
their sickness was of the nature Of
arsenical poisoning.

New York, Oct. S.--Former Senator
David B. Hill: in an article just pub

Hill was chairman of the immigration
committee and was strongly in favor
Of such law. The bill passed the
senate but failed to pass the house of

the general principles Of the bill, but
because it reached that body late in
the session, when that body was rush
