MYSTERY OF PETER OLSON.
fesses to Have Murdered, at Mus
kegOn, Mich, in 1875.

Niles, Mich, Jan. 25.-The Ell1hart
(Ind.) police have received letter
which throws light on the Mather
murder mystery. Mrs. C. G. Carey. OF
Albion, Mich, writes that she has Just
discovered that Peter O1eson, whom
James Mather claims he murdered at
Muskegon, Mich, in 1875, was her
brother, who left the family home in
Bergen. Norway, in the spring of that
year. When the vessel, on which he
sailed as a seaman, returned in the
fall of 1875, the captain said Olson
had taken passage with an English
captain for America.
Mrs. Carey says she has been in
this country IS years. The first she
heard of the probable fate of her
brother or anything of his where
abouts, was when she recently read
published accounts of Mather's con-
fession. Mather is willing to return
to Muskegon, but doctors at the
Langcliffe asylum say he has paresis
and will get worse. Mather is worth
$4,000. He claimed his conscience
forced him to confess.

The Pacific cable question will come
in for great deal of discussion, but
the chances are that it will be dis
posed of quicker than the isthmian
canal issue, which now promises to
hang on to<near the end of the ses-
sion, and may possibly go over to the
next session. A Pacific cable, like an
isthmian canal, is very urgent need.
Happily, the expenditure in the case
OF the cable will be small compared
with that which the canal will neces-
state.

Twin Teeth.

Dr. l. l.. Ritter, dentist. had patient
Monday evening with eight disorderly
teeth demanding immediate attention.
Most often dentists, who are cute
students of human nature terrorized by
toothache, take hold of the least painful
when they have series of teeth to
draw In this instance he tackled one
looking unlike any tooth he ever before
saw. 1t was the pull of his life. Final
ly it came; rather two came, one bring
ing another. The larger had three
prongs, the smaller two. In growth two
prongs of the larger tooth and the two
of the smaller had become attracted to-
ward each other, met and grasped with
ossified tenacity. This caused the
crowns to stand away from each other
at an angle of nearly Is degrees. Hence,
when the doctor caught and drew the
larger the smaller came along. The
double tooth will be sent to Baltimore
as a dental curiosity. 1t is worthy of a
place in mOlar museum.
