CORCORAN MYSTERY.
Man Gives Information as
 to MurdererS.

Wilhesbarre Pa, April 2-There IS a chance of solving the Corcoran mur- der mystery, which has paffied the au thorities for the last three years, and it has come about in a dramatic manner.
 At various times during the last few months the Nanticoke News has con tained articles criticising the authori- ties for their failure to work on the case, and saying that the News knew facts which would bring the murderers to justice. One article contained a list of the things supposed to have been used by the murderers, and the other day the paper published another story, in which the names of two of the all legged murderers were given.
 District Attorney Jones said nothing until the last article appeared, and then he sent to Assistant District At torney John Williams. the county de- tective and Squire P. J. Gilroy, execu- tor of the Corcoran estate. and close friend of the murdered man.. to see Thomas Callary, editor of the News. They informed him that if there was any truth in his assertions he was do- ing wrong in withholding the facts from the authorities, and he made a full statement.
 What he told will not be made public yet, but it is sufficient to warrant ar rests, so the district attorney says.
 Tomorrow Detective Jones and Squire Gilboy will leave nere and will have with them some warrants. It is not stated where they are going, but they expect to return with prisoners
 According to their informat tion, there were five men concerned in the murder all professional burglars. One has since died, and on his deathbed made the confession which gave the clue to the crime. This, it is understood, was known by a New York detective but as the reward had been withdrawn, he did not work on the case. Others knew of it also. and it is said they waited. in the hope that the reward would be renewed.
 Michael COrcoran was murdered in Duryea on December ?, 1898, being shot by burglars, who were breaking into his house. He was man of enormous strength and held the door against the five They shot him through the door, blew open his safe, and got away with q large sum of money.

oLEoMARGARINE ORArORY.

Washington. April 2.-The discussion of the oleomargariEe bill in the senate today was enlivened by two or three bright colloluys between senators. Senator Bailey of Texas concluded his speech begun yesterday in opposition to the measure, occupying most of the time devoted by the senate today to the bill ia consideration. His 2rgu- ment was brilliant and at times elo- quent and attracted the attention of senators on both sides of the chamber and of the occupants of the crowded galleries.
 He was followed by Mir. DepeEy Of New York in d bright and witty speech in support of the measure. MT. Depew matched his wit with that of MT. Bailey on the subject cE the American girl and the sallias of the two senators were greeted with shouts of laughter both on the floor and in the galleries. The Texans keen reference to the re- cent marriage of MT. Depew was most happily fenced by the New York sen ator in his reference to the love and admiration excited in woman by the youth and beauty of Mr. Bailey.

THE BIRTH OF
 A NEW PARTY The Place of kCCOuChement is Louisville, Ky.
The Object Is to Oppose the Existing Order of Things, Democratic and Republican-Thirty States Repre- sented in the Movement.

Louisville, Ky. April "A movement for the formation of an allied party comprising the adherents of all parties opposed to republicans and democrats, or, as the call for the meeting stated, "A union of the reform forces against plutocracy." took definite shape this afternoon, when convention, attend ed by about 200 delegates represent ing eight states and many different parties. was called to order at Lieder- kranz hall in this city.
 The work was of a preliminary na- ture. a temporary organization being effected and committees being appoint ed to prepare for permanent organiza- tion.
 The convention adjourned at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon to meet again tomorrow morning.
 Late in the day other delegates ar- rived and when the convention is called to order tomorrow morning thirty states will be represented. It developed tonight, however. that the national organiza tions of only three parties, the peoples party. the direct legislation CT referendum league and the public ownership or union labor re- form league of St. Louis will be rep resented in the convention tomorrow by the delegates who have plenary powers.
 Four states. Iowa, Nebraska, Mis- souri and Kansas, have allied delega- tions, but they have authority to speak only for their own states and the con vention tomorrow, it is stated, will te dominated by the peoples party, and the name of that organization will probably be adopted. The platform which was recommended by the plat form committee will be practically the same as that adopted in Kansas City last year. when the call for an allied party convention was made.
