the steps that had been taken at the
request of Mr.. Burdiek to secure a di-
Vorce. He last saw Mr.. Burdick on
the afternoon of the day he was muir
dered.
Mr.. Burdick spent half an hour with
him, discussing the divorce matter. He
did not state that he had an appoint
ment with anyone at his home that
night.
Mr.. Burdick was ready at all timcs
to sacrifice his own interests for those
of his children" said Mr.. Miller. III e
carried a revolver, but | never heard
him say that he feared harm from
Pennell At a conference held at my
office. Pennell made one or two state
ments from which an intimation of
suicide would be drawn. never
heard Pencil say that unless the di-
Norce action was withdrawn he would
kill himself and Mrs. Burdick."
The testimony given by Henry j.
Orrett, the furnace man at the Pennell
house, was unimportant. He found no
buttons. buckles or metallic substances
in the ashes. Pennell put on the coal
and shook down the furnace, as had
been his custom.
Lizzie Romance, maid at the Pennell
house at the time of the murder gave
testimony favorable to Pennell. She
said Mr.. Pencil was with his wife in
their room reading at 7:45 on the night
of the murder. She saw them again
at 10 o'clock, when she passed their
door. She did not see them again un-
til the next morning. She had not no.
ticed whether any of Pencils trousers
were missing.
Miss Romance did not notice any
thing unusual in Pennell's manner on
the evening he and Mrs. Pennel start
ed for the automobile ride which ended
in their deaths.

OLD AND NEW WAY.
HyOmei the Latest Scientific DIscov-
cry for the Cure of Cntnrrh.

HyOmei the Latest Scientific DIscov-
cry for the Cure of Catarrh.
The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought a wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the i'm
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head bal
samic air that goes to the minutest
cells, effectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh. 1t enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. and restores
health to the whole system. Many as
tonishing testimonials have been re-
ceived from those who have been
cured by Hyomei
N. G. Durham. % Wellington St,
Boston, Mass, writes: II have suf-
fered from catarrh for a number of
years. l tried Hyomei and found it
the only cure for this disease | ever
used"
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given 10 doubters is the fact
that Knights Pharmacy Company
have so much faith in Hyomei that
they sell every package under a pos
tive guarantee to refund the money
If it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use of
Hyomei.

WANT A NINE-HOUR DAY.
New York Elevated Men May Strike
to Get 1t.

New York Elevated Men May Strike
to Get 1t.
New York, March 23.-By a practical
ly unanimous vote, the newly organ ized
Manhattan Elevated Railway employees
tonight refused to accept the PROPOSE
tion made by the officials of the road
looking to a settlement of the griev-
ances of the men.
The feeling against the proposed
schedule manifested itself from the very
first, because there was no provision
for a reduction of hours. One of the
principal grievances of the men is
that their hours are altogether too
long. They want a nine-hour day, or
| as near a nine-hour day as the sched-
ule of the train runs win permit.
While not altogether satisfied with
the rate of wages paid there is not so
much feeling on that phase of the ques-
ton as about the hours. In one case,
however, the pay of guards, the men
demand 81 a day, instead $1.S5 pro-
posed by the company.
One of the officials of the mems or
ganization said tonight:
I'VE will insist on our demands. OF
course, in considering the advisability
of a strike, we will not lose sight of
the inconvenience to the public, and
we will go as far as possible to have
the matter settled by arbitration. But
we must have the nine-hour day and
the wage scale we have asked for"

ON SOUTHERN LEVEES
Attention of Those Watching the
Mississippi Is Fixed.


Memphis, Tenn, March 23.-The river
has remained stationary all day at
1915 feet and tonight is reported to
be falling. The danger from the flood
in this territory is considered to be
practically over. and no further de-
Velopments of moment are expected in
the natural course of events. The cen
ter OF interests is now the situation
south of Memphis, along the levees OF
mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.
There has been considera BILE wind to-
day, and this has caused uneasiness
for those points along the southern
leVees that are but a foot or more
above the flood. 1t has been fair the
greater part of the day, and the rain
that fell this morning was not heavy
and was not considered cause for ad-
ditional uneasiness.
While the engineers feel that there is
no danger to be feared in the territory
about Helena. they know of the un-
certainties of the Mississippi and no
lessening of vigilance has occurred.
Forces of men are kept available, so
that they can be rushed to any point
where unfavorable developments oc-
cur.
General Superintendent Tyler of the
Iron Mountain Railroad tonight an
nounced that his system would be run
ming trains to the West from Memphis
by tomorrow night. Only a small gap
remains in the track between Blanton
and 4i;tLlOnt, which is being rapidly
rer aired.
Passenger business will be resumed
tomorrow night and freight business
one day later. About 800 freight cars
are cCngested here because of the
washing out of all railroad tracks west
of the river in Arkansas.

New Danger Point.

Vicksburg, Miss, March PA new
danger point has appeared on the Mis-
sissippi river, rather serious reports
coming to-day from Everton, three
miles south of Rosedale, in Bolivar
county. The main levee at that point
is said to be sloughing and leaking
badly A special train, with several
hundred laborers, was rushed to The
danger point from Greenville. High
northwesterly winds have prevailed to-
day, adding another element of danger
to the situation.
The break of a private levee near
DuVaPs yesterday evening has not af-
fected seriously the main bank.
Scores of refugees, many of them
destitute, came yesterday and to-day,
and the problem of what to do with
them is becoming severe.
1t is estimated that fully 600 head of
live stock were brought from the flood
ed section of Issquena county yester-
day.
President McLelland of the Fifth
Louisiana Levee District Board reports
to-day that his entire line is intact,
and with a continuance of fair wealth
er, he sees no reason why the Louisi-
ana leveeS cannot be held.
Forty or fifty negro families, living
in the lowlands at Kleinston, this
county, had to hurriedly flee from their
homes this evening, a small protection
levee having given away. This levee
was sixty feet long, having been
thrown across a roadway, where it cut
through the Alabama and Vicksburg
Railroad embankment. Through this
the water is running with great force.
The gauge here tonight registers

costing that his grand niece would
eventually be pardoned.
Both the Rev. Ingraham and his
daughter have always believed in the
innocence of Mrs. Maybrick.

CAN'T FIGHT IN FLORIDA.
Inquiry Touching the COrbett-Jeff-
ries Bout.

ries Bout.
Tallahassee, Fla March ga tele-
gram from New York says: ut is re-
ported here that the Governor of
Florida has intimated he will not stop
the Corbett- Jefferies fight If it is
brought off in that state. Find out
how the Governor feels on subject"
Governor Jennings is out of town at
this time and will not return until the
latter part of the week. The above
telegram was referred to Attorney
General James d. Whitfield, and he
said:
Il know nothing of the report. The
question of permitting a prize fight in
Florida has not yet arisen, and l have
not given the matter any considera-
ton. The law is very explicit on the
subject, however. and can have but
one construction.
THE law in force before the Corbett-
Mitchell prize fight in Jacksonville was
easily evaded. The law under which
that fistic encounter was pulled or.
read:
Whoever. by previous appointment or
arrangement meets another person and
engages in a fight shall be punished by
Imprisonment, not exceeding six
months, or by fine not exceeding $500.
This rendered it possible for prize
fights to be pulled off on account of
the hghtness of the penalty, but such
a howl of indignation was raised that
the Legislature of 1895 enacted laws
that will render it impossible for the
Corbett-Jeffries fight to take place in
Florida.
Section 1. of Chapter 4402. Acts of
1896, says: IF any person or persons
shall voluntarily engage in any pugil-
istic exhibition, fight or encounter,
with or without se6Jes, between man
and man Tor money or any
thing of value, or upon the result OF
which any money or anything of
value is to be collected, acquired, bet
or wagered, or to see which any adj
mission fee is charged, directly or in
directly, he shall be deemed guilty of
felony, and upon conviction. shall be
punished by fine of not less than ST.
500, nor more than $4,000, or by impris-
onment for not more than five years or
by both, at the discretion of the court"
