Judge Bowney of the circuit court.
The Gillespies were expecting the ar
rests and DR.. Gillespie drove to the
home Of the accused in a closed car
riage and brought the indicted persons
to the courthouse, surrendering all of
them to the court. The four indict-
ments were read to the accused. The
indictments charged them with EEL
oniously, maliciously and with pre-
meditated intent, causing the death Of
Elizabeth Gillespie"
A conspiracy among the members Of
the murdered woman's family to kill
her is charged.
The defense expected indictments.
as their counsel had the papers for q

for accessories, the same in each case
as we'll as the principal.

have to show by witnesses sufficient
evidence on which to hold the indict-
ed persons. It vas agreed to release
the two women on bond and this the
court allowed on account of the ILL.,
ness Of Mrs. Seward, who suffers from
heart trouble. They were admitted to
bail in sums of $1O,O 900 each.
James Gillespie and Myron Bar
bour were refused bail and remanded
to Jail. Crowds followed the two men
as they were taken to the county Jail
near the courthouse by Sheriff Rump
and Marshal Overly An extra guard
was placed in the jail for the night.
All the pent-up excitement and
strain under which the people In the
city have been laboring for two weeks
has broken out. No violence is ok
pected, however, as the people seem
willing to let the law take its course
as long as it has proceeded thus far.
Fearing a possible attack on the
Jail by a mob, Myron Barbour last
night asked the authorities for more
protection and Sheriff Rump placed
additional deputies in the Jail.

iC0pperas as q D~isinfectant.
Nothing is better than copperas to
disinfect sinks. pipes and water clos
cts. Clean out the sinks and pipes first
with concentrated lye. Dissolve this
in boiling water and pour into sink
and pipes. This will cut the grease
and other impurities that gather in
such places. Then dissolve one pound
Of crystallized copperas in n gallon
Of water and pour one quart down the
pipes at a time. Carbolic acid and
chloride Of lime are also excellent dis
infectants for this purpose, but are dis
liked by many on account of their I'M
pleasant odor. These are all poisons
and should be carefully handled.

THE HOUSEWIFE
The Care Of

live where carpets are. much In
use, says an Illinois woman, and per-
haps many Of your readers do. 80 that
hints on cleaning carpets may not
come amiss. l f1atter myself that l
have found a most convenient and la
Dor saving method.
First, ! find that heavy carpets do
not require taking up every year. Once
In two or eve three years is sufficient
unless they are In constant use.
Every autumn. however. I take out
the tacks. fold back the carpet half a
yard or SO, have the floor washed with
a strong suds in which borax has been
dissolved. which a a tablespoon
full to a pail of water.
Then | dust black pepper along the
edges and retack the carpet.
In this way moths are kept away.
and. as their ~favorite place is in cor
ners and folds, this laying back
ables one to search out and destroy
them.
With ingram and other carpets, aft
er shaking them I have found 1t a
good plan to brighten them in color by
sprinkling a pound or two Of salt over
the surface and sweeping carefully.
Occasionally l wipe off a carpet
with borax water, using thick flannel
and taking care not to wet,f,but only to
dampen, the carpet. 81
The borax water is also the best
thing for mating. l wipe the mating
with the borax water, using a cloth
wet enough to dampen. but not wet.

MAYORALTY FIGHTS IN WEsTCHEsTER.
The Situation in New-Rochelle, Mount Yer
non and Yonkers

Three Mayors are to be elected this fall in West
chester cities and already there is much gossip as
to who will be the candidates. a New-Rochelle
paper caused a surprise Saturday when It came
out in favor of fusion ticket in that city to be led
by Charles G. Banks. Mr.. Banks is wealthy and
owns fine stable of trotting horses. He is a Re
publican, but has not been active in politics for
years. The Republican nominee will probably be
the present incumbent, Henry S. Clarke, who has
given the city a good administration. The an
noIncement of the probable candidacy of Mr. Banks
has caused ex-Mayor Dillon to proclaim himself
against the fusion movement 'I am against any
Republican running on the Democratic ticket" said
Dillon yesterday.
In Mount Vernon the Republicans expect to unite
on Dr. Edward F. Brush their candidate. Two
years ago, when DR.. Brush ran. about third of
the Democratic voters of the city supported him
and he would undoubtedly have been elected but
for treachery in his party. 1t is said that the
anti Brush faction Of the party is now sorry he
was knitted, and is anxious to redeem itself by sup
porting him loyalty
The Yonkers Democratic candidate for Mayor is
almost certain to be the present incumbent Mich
ael J. Walsh who is known as the youngest chief
executive in the State. Mayor Walsh beat John E.
Andrus the wealthy medicine manufacturer two
years ago; by 500 plurality. This year the Repub-
HcShs VIII probab ply nominate an experienced
palgner against him. 1t is said that choice is
likely to fall on ex-Mayor John G. Peene, the
steamboat owner, who beat John Kendrick Bangs
seven years ago.

INTEREST IN TO-DAY's MARKET.
Report That It Will Get Support From
Powerful Interests.

The course of prices in Wall-st. to-day will be
watched with keen interest by many. All day yes
terday brokers' traders and tinanciers gathered IN
little groups at the Wadorf-Astoria. the Holland
House, the Hoffman House, and other hotels up
town, and discussed the situation. The talk was
not so optimistic as last Thursday. After the
turn came on that day the market appeared so
much better that traders believed the worst was
over; that while bull market might not start,
prices would be steadier.
The break Saturday caused a change Of feeling,
and even those who were inclined to talk bullish
on Friday not hopeful yesterday. On the
other hand, it was asserted with some degree OF
positiveness by others that the break Saturday
had caused certain powerful financial interests to
agree on a protective, programme, and that the
market would get excellent support to-day.
Most of the talk yesterday was mere speculation.
rejecting the personal deductions Of the person
who happened to be talking. The opinion
general however, that large short interest exists
in the market and that at the first sign Of support
from interests capable Of sustaining the market
rush of shorts to cover will drive prices higher.

of Cars on Bridge Is Reached.

John F. Calderwood, vice-president of the Brook
Ign Rapid Transit Company, says that although
committee Of engineers some time ago reported
that the Poulson plan for relieving the congestion

likely that it may be tried, in accordance with the
recommendation OF Bridge Commissioner Linden

the company that the installation Of the four new
loops at the Manhattan terminal will tend mate
rally TO relieve existing conditions. The company
expected 10 have the loops pleted and the cars
running over them not later than September 15 a
work which would necesstate the expenditure of
100000 If the company had known it would be
asked to test the Poulson plan. this amount could
have been saved. That amount would have TO be
spent, as all the contracts had been let and the
material is on the ground.
Mr.. Caderwood says the company long ago
reached the limit of the number cars that could
be operated the bridge. The company how
ever; is willing TO cooperate with the city au-
thoTites in any WY which Will tend TO relieve the

Lord Strathcona and Bank of Montreal Said
To Be Supporting It.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BUNE.l

Toronto. Aug. 9.-The strength of Canadian Pa
cihc Railway stock, In the face of the demoraIized
market at NewYOrk, is the subject of much
ment here. Many unwilling to believe that
Canadian Pacific Railway stock has advantages
which its price at present seems to show over
many other railroads in the New-York stock quo
tations They have sold short believing that ulti-
matey the price must accord with other securities
the market.
The opinion prevails in stock circles here that
Lord Strathcona and the Bank OF Montreal are
behind the stock Lord Strathcona is thought to
be acting from patriotic motives. holding up the
stock indication of the stability of the
Dominion against all assaults 1t is believed that
bears at New-York and at other centres will have
to combine heavier forces than they have hitherto
shown if the price of Canadian Pacific Railroad is
to be carried below its intrinsic worth. Lord
Strathcona has made much money in the Canadian
Pacific Railway venture when others were most
ressimIstic as to the outcome of the road.
The report from New-York that Sir William Van
Horne has disposed Of much of his stock is looked
upon as nonsense
