The free-for-all pace was yesterdays
special feature and the second heat,

Two DEAD BODIES
IN BURNED BARN
Authorities Believe That MUIR
der Was Done
Negro, BhOSe Motive HaS Revenge
and Robbery, Suspected Of The
Double Crime

Bridgeton, ~ j., Aug. 29.--John S
Holmes. 50 years old, and his house
keeper. Miss Catharine shute. Go years
old, were burned to death Wednes ,ay
night in the barn adjoining the Holmes
farm, on the Bowentown road, four
milos from this city The blaze at
tracted neighbors, who ran to give
assistance William Vineyard was
the first to arrive, but he found no
one about the plantation. The couple
had been left by Mr.. Holmes son,
Charles, only a half-hour before, who
had gone with a party in a straw ride.
II was supposed that Holmes and his
housekeeper had also left for the even
ing. but when the son returned, hav-
ing been notified of the fire. he told
Of his fathers saying he would remain
at home. A search for the missing
couple was at once begun. When the
conhagration had died out, It having
left only great mounds of powdered
ashes, and in its centre we're the few
remaining bones OF two human beings.
AS soon as It was possible, the son
secured the half skull OF one of the
bodies and satisfied himself that it
was that of his father. Coroner Nc
Pherson investigated yesterday and
took charge of the bones for an in
quest.
Surrounding the double death and
the burning of the building is a deep
mystery, and, suspected of having
murdered these aged persons and
burning the building, Job Williams,
a colored man. was apprehended yes
terday afternoon by Constable Cress-
we'll Williams claims to have left
the premises just before the fire
broke out for Bridgeton. Since his
arrest he has made many false state
ments regarding his movements sub
sequent to the fire. The authorities
are investigating the case.
It is believed that Holmes heard a
noise in the barn, and, going out, fol
lowed by his hOusekeeper, went to the
building and was there murdered, as
both bodies lay alongside of each
other when found. Holmes was par
TALLY blind, and 1t was the custom Of
his housekeeper to go with him al
times to the barn. There was no sigI
Of the two being killed in the house.
The prosecutor thinks he has the
4 right man. Williams was to have
been married last night. Wednesday
night It is known he had no money
4 When arrested he had $40 in his
pocket. Job Williams said he knew
Mr.. Holmes had money in the house
but this $40 had been given to him bl

YOUNG CHICAGO WOMAN
STOOD ON TABLE TO DIE

Chicago, Aug 20. II Apparently
driven frantic by the fear that she
might some time become insane, Mrs.
John McCurdy, bride of less than
three months. has killed herself in a
peculiarly shocking manner. Having
first undressed. she put on a night
gown, climbed to the top of the dining
room table, and having placed her
mouth over one of the Jets on the
chandelier. tied her head firmly by
means of heavy cords wound tightly
around her neck. Then she turned on
the gas. When her husband came
home he found her dead.
Letters left by the woman lead to
the belief that she was mentally dis
tressed. She was 3s years old.

NO EARLY SETTLEMENT
Strike Leaders Hoped Morgan Would
lnterfere.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug 29.-The Off
cials at miners strike headquarters
here have settled down to the belief
that there is no immediate prospect of
an early settlement OF the strike. While
President Mitchell would not say any
thing himself some of his subordinates
we're Of the opinion all along that the
return of J. Pierpont Morgan to this
country would bring about a change in
the situation favorable to the miners.
But the developments of the last few
days have entirely dispelled this opti-
mistic view. and now all that is heard
Is: 1t is q fight to the finish"
At the Offices of the local coal COM
panies the information is given out
that the output Of coal in the Wyoming
region is increasing daily. This is
etoutly denied at strike headquarters,
and the minutes Of a meeting of tho
employees os the Avondale mine held
Wednesday. on file at President Mitch
ellis headquarters, show that none of
the hands formerly employed at the
lcolliery have returned to work.

orisin Of thc word sterIlnr.

The origin Of the word "sterling" is
very curious. Among the early mint
ers Of coin IN northern Europe were the
dwellers Of eastern Germany They
were so sklllful in their calling that
numbers Of them were invited to Eng
land to manufacture the metal money
Of the kingdom. The strangers were
known as 'easterlings." After a time
the word became sterling" and In
this abbreviated form it has come to
imply what is genuine in money, plate
or character.
