| New York, Nov. 13.-Andrew f. Green,
affectionately known as 1.-The Father of
Greater New York. was shot and killed
| at the door of his home, No. 81 Park ave-
nue., this afternoon, the murderer being
Cornelius NJ. Williams, q negro, who is
considered insane.
The victim was SO years old and in addi-
tion to bringing about the creation of the
greater city. had promoted and fostered
civic works Of prominence and magnitude,
including Central Park, the great mu-
seums in upper Manhattan and the new
public library now in course of construc-
ton.
Williams. the murderer, told the police
an incoherent story about revenge. He
| declared he had been slandered. and in
| his imaginary grievance decided on Mr..
| Green as the object Of his wrath.
Lying in wait for him In the vestibule
| Of his home, the negro first approached
| Mr.. Green, accused him OF being RESPONSE
BILE for the fancied wrongs he was about
to avenge and then shot him to death.
William H. Burns, carriage starter for
the Murray Hill Hotel. was one of the
first to reach the negro, whom he seized
as he was about to walk away. and turned
over to policeman and detective. who
rushed up a moment later. A physician
was on the spot almost Immediately, and
pronounced Mr.. Green to be dead.
As the negro's aged victim fell. a young
woman rushed out Of the house and took
the dying mans head in her lap, at the
same time calling to him to speak to her.
She tried in vain to get response. Will
Hams turned upon his victim and shouted:
Damn you. I told you 1 would get
even with you"
The negro was hurried to the station
house.
The prisoner answered, without hesita-
tion or any show of irritation, all aues-
tons put to him, and spoke like a man
frm in the conviction that he had been
deeply wronged by the man he had MIR
dered.
He told rambling story about a negro
woman. Mrs. Bessie Davis, who, until
about four months ago. kept a lodging
house for negroes in West Flfty-third
street. who. he said, had circulated state
ments derogatory to his character, and
against whom he had been trying to bring
suit for $4,000. Her slanders, continuing

Continuing. he said he had not been
able to find the woman. who had been
blamed Mr.. Green for befriendinr the
woman and enabling her to continue her
stories

the prisoner. HE got what he deserved.
may not be justified by society, but I'm
justified in the eyes Of God. I'm willing
to go to the electric chair II necessary to
vindicate my character"
Mr.. Green, who was bachelor, lived
with his nephew. Timothy r. Green. and
his three nieces. Timothy R. Green said
tonight that his uncle had never before
seen the man who shot him; that he had
never heard of the negro woman Bessie
Davis and that he had never had any ne
gro servants in his house.

THE BATTLESHIP FUND,
Pupils in Various Schools to Contribute Their
Pennies and Dimes for Testimonial-Subscrip-
tions Are Coming In from Places Where
There is No Organized Movement.

tied to them in the completed lists of the
fund"
A prominent member of the committee
in St Louis expressed himself strongly in
| favor Of making the subscription more a
popular one than the plan Of the commit
| tees appointed by Mayor Wells indicate.
| He said:
''As It is now. the movement to pur-
chase the testimonial is not general
enough. How many people outside Of the
merchants and rich men Of the city have
| already contributed or expressed their IN
tention to contributor The fund raised by
the business and social organizations will
be out OF all proportion to that SUBJ
scrtbed by the people 1t is the people
who should take the greatest interest in
the glorious battleship named after the
State they all love.
There can be no question that the
State Of Missouri has been honored by
having the fastest and best battleship in
the world named after 1t, and as the
State is the people. in the popular phrase,
1t is up to them to show that they ap-
preciate the honor and are patriotic
enough to contribute some sum, no matter
how small.
II understand that the fund Is being
raised more rapidly among the people of
the State than it is among the people
here In st. Louis. where q vessel from
the navy has recently been. This is not
natural and 1t must be apathy alone that
keeps the people from sending in sub
scriptons."
CHEMICAL SOCIETY FUNDS.
The membership of the st. Louis Chem
ical Society has been enlisted in the fund
by Professor John C. Van Ornum, who
has asked the corresponding secretary of
that organization, Doctor Edward H.
Keiser of Washington University. to put
the matter before the society.
Doctor Keiser stated to The Republic
that no meeting would be held by the So
ciety in time to take action on the matter
at regular meeting, but that he had
queried the members Of the council
through the mails as to their wishes re-
garding the fund. He said:
"Our membership Is so scattered and
meets to seldom that any individual work
will, I fear. be impossible. The society's
contribution will probably be made from
the treasury direct, If there is nothing in
the regulations of the society to prevent
such action.
1.-The members, am sure, are in favor
of the movement. as becomes all citizens
of the State. but for the most part they
are not men of means"
While 1t is known that many subscrip-
tions have been obtained by the subcom-
mittees, no official report of their work
has been received at the office of Treas
urer Morgan of the Merchants Exchange.
1t is intended that the subscriptions shall
be sent in as they are obtained without
waiting to complete the list. All subscrip-
tons will be acknowledged as they are re-
ceived.

to bring about a peaceable adjustment
of the strike. The members Of the State
Board of Arbitration called upon Manager
McCulloch. and upon the latter's sugges-
ton went into conference with 8. R.
Bliss. counsel for the company. with the
hope of arranging q settlement or at least
a conference between the strikers and the
officials, of the road. Nothing definite was
accomplished at the conference, but an
other meeting has been arranged for to-
morrow, when a second attempt will be
made to have the controversy submitted

Of the Arbitration Board said that the in
dications were that the management of
the company will agree to arbitrate all the

Of recognition" of the union, which in
wolves in this case the exclusion Of all

Not only is the collection Of the fund

souri, going on rapidly in those sections

but in places where no action has been
taken by the officials. individual subscrib-
ers are sending in their quota to the fund
without waiting for movement to be
started.
The enthusiasm in the country districts
is even more marked than in the cities
and many letters have been received by
The Republic inclosing subscriptions to
the fund.
Throughout the State the sentiment is
that Missouri must not be niggardly in
the matter Of testimonial and It has
been urged in letters recently published.
as well as in the editorial columns Of the
State press. that all citizens, regardless
Of sex and social conditions, should unite
to swell the fund to proportions exceeding
those Of similar offerings raised in other
States.
The writer Of ono Of these letters said
recently:
1T is not a question of testimonial
but Of the best testimonial that has ever
been given. Let the people raise the
money and the ships officers and men

Doctor Charles Williams Of Houses
Springs writes to The Republic as fol-
lows:
LAS there Is no organized movement to
collect money for the purchase Of the tes-
timonial for the battleship Missouri in
Jefferson County. and as feel that all
true patriotic citizens Of Missouri should
contribute their mite, I herewith inclose
81 to bs added to the fund being raised to
purchase a suitable testimonial.
"As to the form such gift or testimonial
should take, have no choice except that
1t should compare fayorably with gifts to
other States to battleships named in their
honor"

the committees in several towns
have sent subscription lists into the
schools with gratifying results.
In most cases the teachers have been
instructed to see that the children con-
tribute money that they have earned, and
not sums which their parents have given
to them. One Of the latest towns to re-
port such a movement is Doniphan, Rip

kidnapped by Tramp When a Little
Child.

Baltimore, May 13.-Ethel Clarke,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jasper W.
Clarke, who was kidnapped twenty three
years ago, is once again in the home
from which she was stolen.
One morning in the spring of 1880 Mrs.
Clarke arose early to go to a grocery
store, two or three blocks distant from
her home, then in d sparsely settled
neighborhood. On returning she was
confronted by a tramp whom she had
before befriended and who demanded
his breakfast Immediately. Mrs. Clarke
told him he would have to wait until
she saw fit to give him something. The
fellow cursed and threatened her. That
afternoon Ethel disappeared
On the last anniversary Of her disap-
pearance one of the local newspapers
published a story of Ethel Clarke's kid
naping. A few days later a handsome
young woman called upon Mrs. Clarke.
My name is Ethel Clarke and I be-
lieve / am your daughter" said the
visitor. Then she told that she remem-
bered being taken away when very
young by a rough man and carried to
an orphan asylum in Washington, where
she remained twelve years. She was
transferred to other Institutions, where
she remained until she was 10 years of
age, since which time she has been
earning her living in a silk factory in
this city.
The fullest investigation has been
made resulting in the positive identifi-
cation of the young woman as the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke.
