Coroner Russell Is also continuing his
investigation and says that If evidence
is found to warrant such action he will
reopen the inquest.
The theory that has now come to be
generally accepted is that the muir
derer mistook both Heffernan and
Miss Campbell for others
No one in the community Of Ardsley,
so far as has been learned, could have
had any motive for shooting Heffer-
nan. He had no jealous rival for the
affections of his sweetheart, MISS
Campbell, and had never quareled
with any one in the vicinity.
There is a general feeling Of rejoic-
ing among the wealthy residents OF
Ardsley and Irvington at the complete
exoneration OF Rufus Il. Sewall, fiance
Of Miss Juanita Hewitt, and Edward
S. Jaffray, sonin-law Of Mr.. Robert
Hewitt. The names Of both of these
gentlemen We're unpleasantly drawn
into the case, but the most explicit and
positive evidence completely exonerat-
ed them IN his findings Coroner Rus
sell declared that there was nothing In
the case to justify the belief that
either Mr. Sewal or Mr.. Jaffray could
have had the remotest connection with
the shooting.

That the beginning Of eatarrh is due to
the presence Of germs IN the air passages
is now admitted by every physician. 1t
stands TO reason that catarrh cannot be
cured unless these germs are first destroy
ed. The Hyomei treatment kills the ca
tarrh germs even in the minutest air cells,
soothes and heals the irritated mucous
membrane and makes complete and last
ing cures in cases that have resisted the
usual methods Of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medicines

Chicago, May 30.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from Montgomery, Ala, says
that the investigation into the en-
forced slavery Of negroes In this state
has developed one death from Ill treat
ment and the arrest Of an agent, who
lis accused Of plotting to sell negroes
into peonage.
Witnesses before the federal grand
jury testified that death resulted from
the punishment accorded negro wom-
an who was held in servitude on one OF
the farms, This woman, accused Of
being rebellious and because she could
not pile for burning the brush cut by
dozen ak men, was laid across a
log and given LOO lashes. Still show
ing a rebellious spirit, her hands were
tied and the rope thrown over the limb
Of a tree and pulled up so as to leave it
barely possible for her toes to reach
the ground. The woman died two days
later.

Louisville, KY. May 30. What IS be-
aeyed to be the first accurate informa-
ton regarding an attempt TO release
Jett and White has been received. 1t
is said that several Of the mountain
desperadoes have been riding night and
day since the two prisoners were
lodged in Jail here, spreading the news
Of the capture and urging ts,e noun
taineers to be ready to rescue their
comrades. The military authorities
here have no further intelligence from
the mountains, and although many ef-
forts have been made to secure some
thing more definite they have been
fruitless.
1t has been decided to keep an out
post on all roads and mountain passes
not only at night, but during the day.
This probably Will result in a call for
more troops and the field Of operations
is thus widened All newspaper cor
respondents have been pun IA a tent at
the military camp. They were former

four and such Unionists as agree with
them will try to extract from the public
that degree of support which they may
interpret as a popular mandate. All
signs point to a lengthy campaign ON
the lines Of protection versus free
trade, which is likely to destroy party
lines almost as much as did the home
rule question. In all the arguments
the example and probable attitude of
the United States viii figure largely.
The opponents Of the scheme point out
that the comparative immunity of the
American from taxation precludes his
prosperity under protection being ap-
plicable to the Britisher, who, as even
the government organs admit, is al.
ready so heavily taxed that the initial
years Of protection. with higher priced
food. would be a severe strain on him
and possibly create bitter dlssatisfac-
ton among the poorer classes.
