HOPELESS JOU8 NEY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brimar Start to
Galveston A-foot.
ARE FROM MARION COUNTY-W0MAN
ALMOST BROKE DOWN.
Husband In Search of Work and Can't Get
It-A Wife's Devotion.

James Brimer, an unsophisticated
farmer from Marion county, has un
dertaken what seems hopeless jour
ney. With his wife he has started
on foot from his Tennessee home to
Galveston, Texas. The couple are
almost destitute. They arrived III
Nashville last night at o'clock and
were given place for the night at
police headquarters
Brimer is roughly clad man 30
years of age. Mrs. Brimer is small,
frail woman 20 years of age. She
wore blue calico skirt and a white
waist, and had heavy black shawl,
which was closely wrapped around
her shoulders and head. Their wear
ing apparel and a small bundle OF
goods constituted all their earthly eff
fects.
Brimer said that he had no rela.
tives. He claimed he had brother
who joined the army, bat he thought
that he had been killed during the
Spanish American war. He stated
that his brother had written to him
several times at San Francisco, and
had told him that if he did not meet
death the correspondence would be
continued. A letter was received
about year ago, and then no more
came. Brimer has concluded that
his brother has been killed. He did
know to what regiment he belonged
The prospect of Brimer and his
wife reaching Galveston on foot are
gloomy indeed. Brimer was not
aware of the fact that he was further
away from Galveston after his first
weeks journey that at the start and
said he did not know which way to
go when this fact was mentioned by
one of the officers of the station.
He thinks there is an abundance
of work in Galveston, while he says
he cannot get employment in Ten
nessee. He left Marion county over
week ago, and the couple walked
the entire distance to Murfreesboro
about 100 miles. They came from
Murfreesboro on the train last night
When the journey was started
they had a supply Of food for three
days, and this was exhausted. They
have been assisted by different peo
pie on the road. Brimer says he has
applied to over 500 farmers on the
way for work, offering his services
at 25 cents day and board for him
self and wife.
Mrs. Brimer will hardly stand tht
walk to Galveston. She was nearly
broken down last night, and placed
her hand on her husbands shoulder
to keep from wavering in her walk
She seemed devoted to Brimer. Sht
said her mother and relatives liyet

ured in her features as she spoke o
them.

IDENTIFIED
BY MCVEY

George Welsh, who with Charles Ne
Atecr, escaped from New Castle Jail
about four months ago was located in
Philadelphia yesterday by Detective Ber-
nard j. McNcy, who at the same time,
found David, alias Buck" Cunningham,
who is wanted here on the charge of the
larceny Of wire from the Wilmington
and Brandywinc Springs Railway Com
pany.
Welsh and Cunningham together with
Harry Parker of Philadelphia, had been
arrested Wednesday in Philadelphia, to
await an investigation into the death of
james McCurdy, aged 80 years, an in
mate of the Philadelphia almshousc.
McCurdy received a fracture Of the
skull, it is supposed, by falling from
IA wagon at Moyamcnsing avenue and
Rope Ferry Road. lie died while be-
taken to the Methodist hospital.
Edward Cooper, aged rs years, of
Sixth and Pine streets; George Welsh,
aged "A years, of Lombard street, below
Tenth, and Harry Parker, Of Eighteenth
and Federal streets, who were with Me-
Cur1y at the time Of his death, were
taken into custody by the police of the
Twentieth and Federal streets station
until it could be ascertaincd whether or
not McCurdy's death was accidental.
Cooper told Lieutenant Black that
with Welsh and Parker, he hired the
wagon about 2 O'Clock in the after
noon from teamstcr on Fourth street,
below cambridge, and started for
Darby TO get Il load of rags.
On the way they met McCurdy. who
volunteered to show them the shortest
route to their destination. When they
approached Monamensing avenue and
Rope Ferry Road the driver of a team
that passed them shouted to them that
a man had fallen from their wagon into
the street.
Cooper said that when they went back
they found McGurdy lying in the street
in an unconscious condition and that
Parker went with the wagon to find
a policeman, while they watched by the
PROSTATE man. Parker, however, did not
return, and was not found until in the
evening.
The men were arraigned at the
Twentieth and Federal streets station
house yesterday morning and held in
$1,000 bail to ensure their appearance be-
fore the coroner.
There is said to be no reason to be-
licvc that McCurdy's death was any
thing but accidental.
ThcPhiadelphia authorities yesterday
notified Chief Massey thinking that
probably one or more of the men might
be wanted in this city.
The chief in turn notified Detective
McVey who at once went to Philadel-
phia. He Unidentified Welsh at once and
says the man giving the name of Cooper
was Cunningham.
Inc men were greatly surprised to
see the detective. Today Detective Me-
Ney will go to Dover to obtain rcquisi-
ton papers for the men.
Welsh, at the time he broke jail, was
in the institution on the charge Of the
larceny Of wire from the Wilmington and
Brandywine Springs Railway Co.

and Immediately placed himself
under the care OF DR.. Henry Jane.

trouble did not respond readily to
remedies, but he remained in the

escape serious illness.
Yesterday, however, he was
much worse and was compelled to
take to bed, and to-day he was not
as well as on yesterday. Friends
who have visited him during his
confinement to the house say he APP
peared very feeble and gave the i'm
preston OF being very sick man.
When inquiry was made Of DR..
Jameson tonight he refused to dis
cuss the case without permission
from the family, aud when asked if
the doctor could enter into details

She said she thought that Mr..
Harrison has the grip, but she hop.

THE sH,sEBy REPORT.

|
Representatives Chandler and Clarl
did not exalt themselves, either as legis
lators or judges, in voting for the adop
ton of the majority report Of the Hear
-ribery investigation committee. JUS
why two Republicans should attempt t.
whitewash Mr.. Hearn, who failed utterly
to make good his charge against Mr.
Layton, is problem which no fellow OIL
ordinary common sense ability can solve.
The Democrats of that committee could
not decide to cxonorate Mr.. Hearn by
condcmning Mr.. Layton. That they
acknowledge by saying: "1he evidence
produced is so conflicting that It is i'm
possible to reconcile It," That is they
could not reconcile Mr.. Hearn's charges
with the evidence produced. He charged
one thing and the evidence produced
showed another. This in court, CT be-
fore jury of men capable of disting-
uishing between a chestnut bur and q
potato, would have won verdict Of ac-
quttal and censurc for making the
charge. But these highly cultured gentle
men, with representative conscienccs.
cannot understand that justice demands
the acquittal of the defendant when the
charge is not Observation-Disclosures in the
opinion of the jury the guilt of the de-
PENDANT is not proved. They have not ac-
quilted. TLen they hold that the de-
PENDANT is guilty. IL that is true why
did they not say so? The House is
competent to deal with this matter. If
MI. Layton is guilty he ought to be ex-
PEELED. If the members of the House
who voted t. accept the majority report
so believe, referring the matter to the
Attorney General does not relieve them.
The purrort of their appointment to in
vcstigate the charges was to discover
nocencc of the accused. What have they
done? Shnkcd q duty. The evidence
was for acquittal. They acknowledge
that in saying they can't reconcile the
evidence produced. In this condition
the reference of the case to the At
lorncy General makes their action q
rowardly Sinking of duty-as partisans
they were afraid to acquit and as men
were ashamed to convict Mr.. Layton.
That however, doesn't matter. The pco-
pie have already acquitted Mr.. Layton
md convicted Mr.. Hearn Of Islander.

MOB CHASED
MURDERER,

Corsicana, Texas, March Mrs. Con.
way Younger, a farmers wife, was bru-
tally assaulted and finally murdered last
night by negro. A posse Of 200 men,
headed by Younger are, by tho aid of
bloodhounds, following the trail of tho
murderer who doubtless will meet q tor
rible death at tho hands of the pursuers.
Younger returned from the fields last
evening to find his wife missing, His 8
year old child was playing about the house
and, after searching the house, Younger
asked the child where its mothor had
gone.
"A big negro knocked mamma down
and dragged her away" lisped the little
one.
Younger sounded the alarm, and after a
short search Mrs. Youngrr's body was
round in brush plot not far from the
house. There were signs Of q terrible
struggle between the woman and her as.
sailant A cash ex ending from ear to cur
bad ended her life.
Aroused to an extraordinary pitch of
1ury over the crime. men gathered from
tho surrounding country, b!ocdhounds
were procured and the party mounted for
tho chase Of the murderer. Upto a late
hour this AFTERNOON he had succeeded In
eluding his pursuers.
