sun mons Of the cabinet ministers is
due to q desire to decide whether or
rot the presentation of the budget
could he postponed until the Klerks-
dorp negotiations are settled one way
or the other. Peace might not modify
the crying need of additional revenue
but it would take off the sting from
additional taxation which is bound to
raise a protest from every class or in
dustry affected. However, in the ma
tiOnal jubilation over the end of the
war these individual protests would
be lost to sight. The cabinet council
yesterday, while it probably did not
fulfill sensationally the attributed
function deciding between peace or
war undoubtedly reviewed the entire
situation, both as regards home fl
nance and the situation in south
Africa.

NO DIRECT CLEW TO
DIES MONIES MURDERER

Des Moines, "a, April 15.-While
returning from Highland Park Metho-
dist church on the north outskirts OF
the city Sunday evening. Mary Peter
son, Is years of age, and Thomas,
aged II, children Of Peter j. Peterson,
well-to-do dairyman, were murdered
by some unknown person, believed to
be negro. The bodies were discov-
cred by a farmer. Several suspicious
characters, white and colored, have
been arrested, but so far no positive
clue is obtained A large crowd sur
rounded the jail all day and threats
of lynching were heard on all sides,
but no violence was attempted The
most suspicious character is James
Hutchinson, a negro miner. There is
an imprint of hand in blood upon the
bach of his coat. He tells rambling
and contradictory story.

from the man she had loved for
twenty-five years and got ready 20
come to Philadelphia.
Gilman's own story is equally
strange He really was in an insane
asylum, he says, and while there he
received a legacy Of $4,000 from a
relative in Camden. He was dis
charged then but his mind was
blank, and when few years ago he
began to search for his wife he could
not even remember where they had
lived. Finally, however, he recalled
the number of his Masonic lodge and
through that traced out his old life.
He is sc years old now and broken in
health.
The other actor in this strange
drama-Daubert-is also old and
feeble, and is broken-hearted over the
loss of his wife.

his check and it was accepted. The
records of the Lakewood bank will
show his check was promptly honor
ed and that he had comparable
balance. The following day he again
called at the Long Branch Office and
gave an order, which he was not able
to fill there He went from the
Armour Office to that of the Swift
company, and there the stuff he want
ed was obtainable. He had the bill
computed and drew his check for the
amount. 1t was refused Mr.. Free
born says the manager told him he
knew the check was as good as the
cash, but that the cash must be paid
for the order.
Mr.. Freedom offered to pay cash
on delivery, but was told his order
could not leave the icehouse until the
cash was paid. He asked the cause
for this change as the Swift manager
had often accepted his check, ana
was finally informed that the
Armours had issued orders to that
effect. The manager, he says, told
him all beef houses had the same
orders, and that he was on the
Armour blacklist. From the Swifts'
office he went to the Armours' and
asked the reason for this action. He
declares he was told it was "a mis-
take, and that when he sought more
definite reply or, reason he was cut
off short. He was compelled to go
back to Lakewood, draw the cash on
a check, bring it to Long Branch,
and present it before he could Obtain
the meat for which a customer was
waiting.

guising the fact that my father is in
a very serious condition. We cannot
say that he is any better. He staid in
Chicago just one week, the greater
portion of the time being to give DR..
Billings ample time in which to make
a careful and thorough diagnosis OF
his case. He is now in the hands of
the local physicians and DR.. Billings
OF Chicago is working through them.
d. Billings thought the case could be
cared for just as well that way, and
it gratifed my fathers wish to get
back to his home, SO we moved him.
We do not think his case has i'm
proved any during the past week. AS
nearly as DR.. Billings could get at the
case, father is suffering from nervous
dyspepsia, complicated with some
other things of more or less serious
nature"

Washington, April 15.-The Chinese
exclusion bill occupied the attention
o. the senate throughout the day, Sen
arOr Foraker and McLaurin of South
Carolina making extended speeches IN
opposition. Senator Foraker con
tended that the pending measure was
viOlative of our treaty with China and
calculated to prevent our commercial
expansion in the far east. While
strongly supporting the policy of tho
government to exclude Chinese labor
ers, the Ohio senator maintained thaE
this could best be accomplished by an
extension of the present law, holding
the drastic provisions of the pending
bill would cut off our cotton trade with
China and thus wreck the cotton in
dustry Of the south.
Senator Teller briefly responded To
Foraker, urging the right to abrogate
treaties was fully recognized Senae
tor Lodge of Massachusetts gave no
tive of an amendment striking out the
much-discussed clause prohibiting the
employment of Chinese sailors or
American ships
Still Talks Reciprocity.
Interest in the Cuba reciprocity de-
bate in the house seems to be waning,
judged by the attendance on the floor
yesterday, but the earnestness of the
speeches on both sides of the question
increased rather than decreased in in
tensity. That the republican opp0n-
ents of the bill are determined to pro-
long the struggle as much as possible
was made manifest by their refusas
to allow speeches to be printed in the,
record. The speakers we're Messrs-
Mccall of Massachusetts and Brantley
of Georgia, for the measure, and
Messrs. Robertson of Louisiana ana
Stevens of Minnesota against it. Mr.
Robinson of Indiana, opposed the Cu,
ban annexation on the ground that he
would threaten the welfare of the
American wage Garner. The confer
ence report of the postofice appropri-
alton bill was adopted early in the dag
after some criticism of the pneumatic
tube provision.

Half a Year.

Huron, S. D., April 13.-Judge Nc
Coy has given q decree in the much
talked-of Murphy divorce case, the
most sensational in the history of
Readle county. Mary e. Murphy in
stituted proceedings against her hus-
band, James Murphy, reciting cruelty
and Entertainment In his answer
Mr.. Murphy charged his wife with an
attempt TO poison him, also that his
children by a former wife were neg
lected and badly treated.
Mr.. Murphy is prominent mer-
chant at Hitchcock and is said to be
wealthy. He was candidate for the
legislature on the fusion ticket two
years ago, and has taken an active
part in political matters.
Judge Mccoy, in granting Mrs. Muir
ply an absolute divorce, gives her
$4,000 alimony. This sum is to be
paid in installments of $1,000 month.
A lien is made upon all Mr.. Murphy s
real and personal property, and so re-
mains until the entire $4,000 is paid.
In short, the order of the court practi-
cally ties up Mr.. Murphy's business SO
far as this obligation is concerned.
He was in the city today i'll consulta-
ton with his attorneys, but what
move he will take to relieve himself
from the orders of the court is not
known. The decision is gratifying to
those who watched the proceedings.

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE.
Quaker City Negro With Ambitions
not Modest

Philadelphia, April 15.-Ever since
the murder of Miss Ella Jarden, known
as Mrs. Charles A. Furbush, and her
daughters Madeline and Eloise, by the
negro butler, William H. Lane, a week
ago, there has been mystery envelop-
ing the motive for such a cOld-bloodedf
crime.
An investigation by reporters has
brought to light facts which throw an
entirely new phase on the situation.
1t is stated by servants formerly
employed by Miss Jarden n It Lane
did not kill the family because Miss.
Jarden threatened him with arrest
Nor was it because he was about to-
lose his position.
The real reason was because he was
jealous of Charles A. Furbush, the
wealthy manufacturer, who maintained
the establishment at 652 North Fiji
teenth street, and whose wife she
posed to be. 1t was Furbush, not Miss
Jarden, who was his intended victim.
1t is known that Lane, although
negro and a servant, stood high
enough in the favor of Miss Jarden to-
aspire to the place of Furbush. He
cut off all association with others OF
his race, and seldom left the FIT
teenth street house.
When Furbush was not present the
butler, it is said, sat at the head of
the table at meals. This occurred al
most daily, and was with the permits
sion of Miss Jarden. Lanes word
seems to have been law at such times,
for only few days before the tragedy
another servant was discharged
through him because she prepared
coffee in manner that did not suit
his taste.
At all times when the real head of
the table was absent, Miss Jarden is
said to have accepted Lanes assump-
ton of proprietorship and to have
treated him as an equal in every re-
spect to her alleged husband The
children, too, are known to have bowed
to his authority.
Upon facts, with many other little
occurrences noted by neighbors and,
acquaintances, is based the belief that
Lane bought his revolver with the iZi-
tention of shooting his white rival
but that the hopelessness caused By
his appreciation that his color would
make it impossible for him to win
open acknowledgment of the woman's
favor, coupled with some little rebuke
from her. turned the weapon against
her and her children.

SIS, 900 IN OLD CHEST.
1t lay in a Carrot Years Before False
Bottom Was Found.


York, Pa, April 15.-The house
cleaning period brought undreamed
of good luck to w. E. Koch, a promi-
nent young jeweler of this city. Sew
ePal years ago Mr.Koch purchased for
a trifing sum at public sale small
antique chest. Having no immediate
use for it, he placed it in the garnet
over his place of business, where it
remained until one day this week,
when he employed a man to renovate
the garnet.
Mr.. Kochs attention then was called
to the chest, and still having no partic-
ular use for it, he decided to present
it to friend Some repairs were
needed, however, to make it present
able, and it was while Mr.. Koch was
engaged in making these that he dis
covered that the chest was provided
with a false bottom.
When he removed this, there were
brought to view $50 gold bonds Of the
Northern Central Railway company
100 shares in a western gold mine that
has been paying a comfortable divi-
deRds for the past several years, 300
bends of the York and Peachbottom
Railroad company, now the Maryland
and Pennsylvania Railroad company;
several unconcealed notes against To-
cal property holders and snug sum in
gold and greenbacks.
The valuable papers have been
turned over to Mr.. Koch's attorney.
The total value of the find, conserva-
lively estimated, is $4,000.

twenty-five Years Ago.
Philadelphia, April 11.-After a sep
aration of quarter of a century J..
A. Gilman and his wife are to begin
life anew in Frankfort.
They were married twenty-eight
years ago. New York was their home
for a while, and then, two years after
their marriage, Gilman went to Doyles-
town to work. He disappeared. Four
years search brought no light as 10
his whereabouts. After that length Of
time a letter came to his wife which
said that her husband had died in an
insane asylum.
Mrs. Gilman, in another year, mar
ried Henry Daubert of Emaus, in Lee
high county. Three children were
born to them, and they lived quietly
there until few days ago.
Then Gilman, long ago forgotten,
reappeared. Mrs. Daubert recognized
him instantly, and begged him to so
away and let her die in peace beneath
the roof of her second husbands home.
Gilman, unlike the Enoch Arden of
fiction, refused. He said she was still
his wife and insisted upon her leaving
Daubert and going with him. The
law was with him, and the aged wo-
man-she is 61-parted sorrowfully
