IF MURDER
A CRAFTY one
Pennsylvania Constable Is Said to
Have Killed the Public

81 of Suicide. 3. =

Lebanon, Pa, Sept, 5.-Accused of a
most remarkable murder, committed un-
der extraordinary circumstances, Consta-
BILE John L. Fisher is under arrest. If
the charges made by physicians and off,
GERS can be verified Fisher slew and
robbed his friend, City Solicitor J. Mar
shall Funck, in the latter's own office,
July last, and then arranged the body
so that it would. appear that Funck had
hanged himself with his belt.
More noteworthy still, the tragedy ap-
pears to have been so timed that it would
have to be coincidental with the hanging
on the same day Of David Shand for MUIR
der, and to have been the eliminating
Stands relentless prosecutor, Funck
Shand had pleaded guilty to indictments
for two murders, but had strenuously de-
MED having committed robbery which
accusation had goaded him to the homi-
cidal deeds. Thus it became an easy
matter, after Funck's apparent suicide
to gain credence for the story that the
lawyer said she had become imbued with
the idea that Shand was not guilty OF the
robbery and. that by an unjust, convic
ton he had beens driven to murder.
| 1t Is now charged that Fisher, fresh
from his duties as one of the death watch

under the vengeful advice and connivanct

HE THREATENED
SECRETARY HAY
---- ---------------------- ...3.
And So Francis Beuque Was Locked
Up and Will Be Examined
by Alienists.
Man Has Claim Against Germany
Which He Wants the Govern
.l. ment to Urge.

New York, Sept. 5.-Francis NJ. Beuque,
46 years old. a photographer was COM
mitted to Bellevue hospital to-day to be
examined to his sanity. Beuque was
arrested for writing a letter to Secretary
Of State John Hay, in which he threatened
the secretary if a claim of $41, 900 was not
paid. Detective Muller of the Washington
police force, who made the arrest, ex-
plained.that -Beuque had been a photog-
rapher in Hamburg, but was compelled to
leave the country, selling out his business,
Beuque claimed, at great sacrifice. This
was the origin Of his grievance and his
demand was that Secretary Hay secure
his reimbursement from the German gov
ernment.
Muller said that Beuque had written let
tiers TO- the various presidents and secre-
tar1es Of state since the administration
of Harrison. none, however, threatening in
tone until this letter to Secretary Hay, in
which he declared that If Mr.. Hay did
not attend to his claim he would attend
to Mr.. Hay. - $50.
BeuGue expressed satisfaction when ar
rested. declaring that publicity would aid
him in. getting the money. When asked
why he wrote the letter Beuque replied:
Il want the money. I want what the
German government owes me-
Magistrate Correl did not believe the
man in his right mind and committed him
to Bellevue for examination. >..'
The amount demanded by Beuque was
10000 marks. This sum he says was in.
vested in 1889 in a photograph gallery II
Hamburg and he claimed to have lost i
when he was expelled because he refused
to perform military duty on the ground
that he was an American. He had. three
days to leave Germany, but Secretary OF
State Blaine had the time extended tt
three months ~ ..-...
The alleged threat in his recent letter
to Secretary Hay was in the statement
that he had written eight letters to the
government and the present one would be
the last He said he would take up mat
ters then himself. S', -,
The letter, like it's predecessors was
long and rambling.

FEAR EXPECTATION
If Silver Goes Much Higher the New
Philippine Coinage Will
Disappear.
New York sun Special Service.

Now York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Sept. 5.-The uneasiness
among the officials of the treasury de-
partment lest the price Of silver bullion
shall advance to such figure as to
make the new Philippine peso worth more
as bullion than as coin has not abated.
Treasury officials openly say they be-
lieve the silver market is being manipu-
lated by four or five houses In London
which control the situation. The first pur-
chase Of silver for the Philippines was
made March 26 at 49.1 cents an ounce
Since then the metal has advanced and
1926 cents for $4,000 ounces for delivery
at the San Francisco mint. This is an
increase Of over 3 cents an ounce. For
the past day or two, however the price
of silver bullion has been going down
slightly. Still the officials are not entire
" relieved of apprehension lest the price
shall so to 64.1 an ounce and above that
| figure.
The silver in Philippine peso is worth
just 80 cents. which is its par value. at
GAL an ounce. Above GAL it would be
profitable to export coins as bullion.
! Treasury officials rely largely for pro-
lection from any such calamity on the
belief that If the price Of silver goes much
higher the market will be SO flooded with
silver in reserve, for speculation as to
| compel the price to decline again

Washington, Sept 5.-The depart TIM ent
of justice will endeavor to have the case
against the beef trust advanced on the
supreme court docket so that it may be
heard in October. The government will
be aided in its efforts by the law passed
last year, providing for the expediting Of

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Sept Sit has just been
learned that the future queen of Bavaria.
Princess Louise, had narrow escape
from death in New York, a few weeks
ago. while travelling incognito with her
husband Prince Rupert of Bavaria.
The royal couple will one day be the
rulers of their native land If they i've It
was well known that Prince Rupert came
to this country incognito, but the presence
Of his wife was guarded as a jealous Sc
cret. She travelled with her husband
quietly. When they reached this city she
was overtaken by a severe illness, which
detained her here some time. Finally she
sailed for Europe in the company of her
husband and under charge Of New Yorl,
physician, Dr. Kiliany, and two New
York trained nurses.
On reaching Possenhofen, Bavaria, the
princess underwent an operation for ap-
pendicitis. It was performed by the New
York doctor, with the assistance Of Munich
court surgeons, and she now is slowly re-
covering.
