-FOUR DEAD BODIES FOUND.
Murder and Suicide Theory Is Ad

Murder and Suicide Theory Is Ad
vanced-Act Done by Father.
Columbia, S. c., Dec. 9.-B. B.
Hughes, aged AZ years; his wife Eva
about the same age, and two daugh
ters, Emily and Hattie, 10 and /!
years of age, respectively, constitut
ing an entire family, are dead at Tren
ton, Edgefield county, and nothing re
mains to explain the mystery of the
tragedy.
Citizens of the town were aroused al
5 o'clock by fire at the Hughes
house, and on reaching the scene the
flames had gained such headway thai
it was impossible to enter the burn
ing building, and not until the fire taG
burned itself out and the walls had
collapsed was it discovered that the
family was dead.
The bodies of the two young ladies
were found in their bed with the head.
Of both crushed in.
The body of Mrs. Hughes was alst
crushed in with pillow over it, while
that of Hughes lay near the door with
bullet wound through the left tenn
pie.
A pistol with the empty chamber lay
near his right hand.
The conditions surrounding all point
strongly to Hughes as the murderer
of his entire family and to subse
quent suicide.
Bloodhounds were brought to the
scene but could find no trail, and II
the absence of a motive those who held
to the theory of murder could mo-
solve the mystery. There was nc
sign that anybody had left the house
after the FIRE started.

in consequence of a communication
which Austria-Hungary has just made
there is a prospect of reaching the un.

not close without sufficient guarantee,

Claim Theo. Price, of New York, Has
Been Using Unfair Means.
Macon, Ca, Dec. 9.-Several Macon
parties blame Theodore Price, of New
York, for the terrible fall in the price
of cotton, saying that while he has pre-
tended to be friendly to the south, he
has been using all sorts of unfair
means to bear the cotton market
that he has been paying fancy prices
for photographs of cotton fields where
cotton picking had been delayed, SO
as to create the impression that there
was yet an abundance of cotton in the
fields.
He could get but few photographs OF
the kind he wanted, it is claimed, be-
cause out of 100 cotton fields not more
than one has any cotton left in it.
They say the governments guess is
12.100,000 bales was bad enough, but
Prices estimate of 100000 was go
ing much too far. There are strong
doubts here that Georgias increase
was anywhere near 100000

No Bond In Sight and Prisoner

MAY WAIVE PRELIMINARY TRIAL

| Mrs. Chadwick Says She Is Ready to
Return to Cleveland and Stand Trial.
She Is In a Bad State of Health and
a Physical Collapse Is Now Feared.
New York, Dec. 9.-In her lonely
cell in the Tombs prison, isolated even
from the other unfortunates whom
fate had led behind the prison walls,
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, the former
society woman and now the central
figure in one of the most mysterious
and sensational cases Of the century
waited today while her counsed
secured the city in an effort to raise
the $4,000 bail which had been fixed
as the price of her temporary liber.
ty. All day yesterday, from early
morning until late at night, the woman
waited anxiously in the Office of the
| United States marshal while one after
| another Of those to whom she turned
for assistance declined to come to her
aid. At last, the quest for the time
was abandoned, and the prison doors
closed behind her.
In the same tier of cells as that in
which Mrs. Chadwick's cell is located
Nan Patterson, former show girl, ac.
cused of the killing of Caesar Young,
is kept prisoner.
She has been allowed the use of
the corridor in front of her cell be.
tween a. m. and p. M, and may
be permitted to see her nurse today.
Mrs. Chadwick today said she de.
sired to waive examination, prefer.
ring to go direct to Cleveland to meet
the charges against h er.
When Lawyer Carpenter, Mrs. Chad.
wick's attorney, was seen today he
was unaware of Mrs. Chadwick's de.
cision to go to Cleveland, and he was
still seeking among security compa'
MES to obtain bail for her.
1t is expected that the arrival at
Cleveland of Receiver Lyon, of the Cit.
liens bank Of Oberlin, will be followed
by the issue of additional complaints
against Mrs. Chadwick, charging for
gerry and based either on the Carne
gle notes or other papers given by
Mrs. Chadwick
United States Marshal Henkel has
announced that Mrs. Chadwick has
notified her counsel that unless bail is
furnished before O'Clock this after
noon she will go before United States
Commissioner Shields, waive examina
tion and return Immediately to Cleve
land, Ohio.
