JEALOUSY THE CAUSE.
Quaker City Negro With Ambitions
not Modest.

Quaker City Negro With Ambitions
not Modest.
Philadelphia, April 15.-Ever since
the murder of Miss Ella Jarden, known
rs Mrs. Charles A. Furbush, and her
daughters Madeline and Eloise, by the
negro butler, William II. Lane, a week
ago, there has been mystery envelop-
ing the motive for such a cold-blooded
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 that Lane
did not kill the family because Miss
Jarden threatened him with arrest
Nor was it because he was about to
hose his position.
The real reason was because he was
jealous of Charles A. Furbush, the
wealthy manufacturer. who maintained
the establishment at 652 North FIT
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 a
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 Fiji
teenth street house.
When Furbush was not present the
butler, 1t is said sat at the head of
tse 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 a 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-
kon 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 netghbors and
acquaintance, is based the belief that
Lane bought his revolver with the in
tention of shooting his white rival
bat 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.

Washington, April 15.-The Chinese
exclusion bill occupied the attention
a. the senate throughout the day, Sen
ator Foraker and McLaurin OF South
Carolina making extended speeches IN
opposition Senator Foraker con
tended that the pending measure was
vOlative of our treaty with China and
calculated 10 prevent our commercial
expansion in the far east. While
strongly supporting the policy of the
government to exclude Chinese labor
eTs, the Ohio senator maintained that
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.

Messrs. Robertson of Louisiana ana
