Confident of This.

confident OF This.
New York, April 20.-Po,ice Inspec-
tor McCluskey announced to-day that
he was convinced the body that was
found in a barrel last Tuesday was
that of Maduena Benedetto, 40 years
old, of Buffalo, N. Y. A picture of the
murdered man had been positively
identified, the inspector said, by
Joseph de Prima, brother-in-law of
Benedetto. who is now serving term
in Sing Sing prison.
De Prima said his brother-in-law
had been in this country only two
years. He said that Benedetto had
visited him in prison on April IL.
Mrs. Morisette, wife of the missing
man from Taftville, Conn.,, visited the
morgue to-day and after an examina-
ton of the body she declared it was
not that of her husband.
Three of the fourteen prisoners held
on suspicion in connection with the
murder were examined in court to-
day. Ignazio Lupo, wine dealer, was
held on a charge of counterfeiting,
and Lorenzo Lobordo and Giuseppe
Tomaso for alleged perjury in describ-
ing their whereabouts a few days be-
fore the murder.
All three denied knowledge of the
murdered man.

worked in the little room in which
Youtsey worked, said she did not hear
any knock on the door or see or hear
him in conversation with anyone prior

PRESIDENT BONILLA
NOW RULES HONDURAS.
He Is Popular and Prosperity Is
PrOphesied.

PrOphesied.
New Orleans, April 20.-Bonilla is
now President of Honduras. Arias is
in prison at Teguicigalpa. and Sierra
is a fugitive in Nicaragua, having fled
to that country for safety when the
handful of government troops desert
ed him at Necaome, on April 6. When
the rebels under Gems. Barahona and
Maldonado made an attack on the
government forces under command of
Gen. Sierra, and then marched on to
the capital, where Arias was made a
prisoner.
This, with the news that quiet pre-
vailed in the erstwhile disturbed Cen
trail American republic, was the in
formation received by the Times-D Dem
ocrat from Honduras to-day. Bonilla
swept the entire republic and finally
captured the man who Sierra said
should be the President in the capital
of the republic without losing as many
as a dozen lives among his forces,
numbering 10000 men in a revolution
lasting about two months.
That popular sentiment was favor
able to Bonilla is evidenced by the
wholesale desertions of the govern
ment troops, who Joined his army.
Since Bonilla has assumed control of
government affairs quiet prevails and
the belief is expressed that the coun-
try will be more prosperous under his
administration than II has ever been.

ions concerning the Western Maryland

securing the controlling interest in the
company.
When, however, they requested COM
pensation for their services, Senator
Elkins, ii is stated, failed and neg
lected to pay them. 1t is declared that
after the Goulds had acquired the
Western Maryland, Messrs. Burton and

DESPERATE MEN
DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Unsuccessful Attempt BY Prisoners
at Columbus Penitentiary.

Columbus, o., April 20.-A desperate
but unsuccessful attempt was made by
John MCGOWAN, a life prisoner, and
Jesse Grant 10-year man, both from
Cleveland, to escape from the peniten-
tiary this afternoon. 1t was at first
thought a general outbreak among the
prisoners had been planned, and a riot
alarm was sent to police headquarters.
A squad of patrolmen was hurried to
the prison, but their services were not
needed.
MCGOWAN and Grant both had re-
volvers, which had been smugg1ed into
prison. Walking into a room in the
stamp shop where they had secreted a
ladder, they ordered the half-dozen
TRUSTEES employed there to lie down.
Charles Farmhouse, the only one who
did not obey, was knocked senseless
with a hammer. The two men then
compelled the TRUSTEES to carry the lad
der to the wall nearby. AS they were
about to scale the wall guards appear
ed and many shots were exchanged,
but none took effect. MCGOWAN and
Grant were finally taken into custody
and placed in solitary confinement.

Smith, who were indicted by the grand
jury for accepting brides in connection
with the baking powder legislation, to-
day gave bonds in $4,000 each for APP
pearance before United States Circuit
Court in the July term. They each
say they are innocent of the charges.

called upon Circuit Attorney Folk with
the proposition that if the district at
torney in pushing the Doodle investiga-
ton would agree to question Mr.. Lee
only about the alum deal, Lee would
appear before the grand jury imme-
diately. Mr.. Folk informed his visitor
that he would not promise to restrict
himself in any part of the inquiry, and
the conference was fruitless.

official, said the lieutenant governor
was unwilling to assist in the indict-
lnent for perjury of certain members
of the Legislature who have testified
before the grand jury The Cole coun-
ty grand jury has taken a recess until
