Washington, Pa, Sept 26.-There is
no further developments in the crime
resulting in the murder and robbery
OF Contractor Ferguson an the West
Middletown road by blowing up the
buggy with dynamite. The two men
who were apprehended as suspects
were identified as Frank Farris and
Joseph Huston. former employees at the
Ferguson camp. They disclaim any
knowledge of the crime and say that
on Thursday night they slept In Nc
Clay's schoolhouse. about four miles
northwest Of this place, and on the
main road to West Middleton. They
say that they can prove that they had
nothing TO do with the robbery Of the
Toulouse, which was entered by the
men who fixed the dynamite fuse that
blew Ferguson to death. The aban-
doned mine on the Patterson farm near
the scene of the tragedy, which was
supposed to have been used as a refuge
by the criminals, was closely guarded
all night, and then was thoroughly ex-
plored without any evidence being dis
covered that the men had been hiding
there and the searchers left satisfied
that the mine was empty, John Welsh,
a resident of West Middleton, found

guson had carried the money. It was
rified Of the roll of bills amounting
to about $500. Some $40 In silver
were left in it,

last night and Is complaining of pain
in his side The excitement in WASH
ington county is high and many citi-
zens formed independent armed
searching parties.
General Manager Norton, of the Fer
guson company, does not think that
the suspects under arrest committed
the deed, but believes they know
something about it. He is of the i'm
preston that II was committed by
some one employed in the camp and
that they are remaining in the camp
in order to not excite suspicion. The
dead man was one of the best-known
railroad contractors in the country.
He was associated with his brother,
f. NJ. Ferguson. in the contracting
business. The Ferguson family came
originally from Kansas, and a great
deal of railway work has been done in

Washington, Sept. T.-Withdrawa
Of the American warships from Beirut
seems unlikely for the present in view
Of q cablegram received at the state
department Saturday from Minister
Leishman, at Constanunople, stating
although his advices from Beirut indi-
cate that the situation is quiet Just
now. nothing like permanent order
has been established. Mr.. Leishman
says that the state Of Affairs there
may yet be regarded as uncertain.
1t is indicated that Mr.. Leishman's
cablegram that the departure Of the
warships might be the occasion of re-
newal Of the riots. This confirms the
opinion held here by state department
officials that the quiet at Beirut Is due
directly to the presence Of American
warships of that port. Minister Leish-
man adds that the new governor Of
Beirut is actively inaugurating re-
forms there but that II is not yet GER
tain he will be able to handle the sit
uation.
