New York, Nov. 25.--startilng deyei-
opments were brought out at Fridays
session OF the Armstrong committee
on insurance investigation In the
course OF minute inquiry by Mr.
Hughes, counsel to the committee, into
the syndicate transactions participated
In by the New York Life Insurance
company. The most important wit
ness Of the day was Milton M. Madl.
son, bookkeeper OF the New York
Life Insurance company, during. whose
examination II was brought out that
m the case of the United States Steel
corporation syndicate, the managers
OF which were j. p. Morgan 4 Co.,

u.e to the New York Life OF sS7,1S7,
from which was deducted, no reason
being given, the sum OF $50, $40 paid TO
Andrew Hamilton, who has been de-
scribed In the course OF the investiga-
ton as the insurance legislative gen.
eralissimo."
1t appeared from records produced
by Mr.. Hughes that an account OF j..
p. Morgan & Co. with Hamilton
showed that In December, 1901, that
firm had advanced 10 Hamilton the
sum of s56,720, that on October /, 1902,
this amount amounted with interest to
s59, $40, and that II was then cancelled
by the entry OF that amount TO Hamil-
tons credit. The entry OF this amount
In the New York Life read; "As per
cancelled statement and arrangement
with Mr.. q. w. Perkins" II was also
developed that the participation in the
syndicate OF the New York Life was
effected through the New York securi.
ty & Trust company, OF which one
fourth Of the profits Of the former COM
pany we're retained.

Holiday trade gathers impetus as the

line, took advantage OF the popular
priced excursion to oslaloosa Satur-
day night and visited this city to see
the "McFadden's Flats" production,
and to do winter shopping among the
stores Of this city.
The advantage OF the excursion was
felt in many ways In the city All
the stores felt the trade 70 a greater
or less extent, and the Masonic op-
era house a standing room only"

The train left Hooking before six
O'Clock and arrived in oskaloosa about
half-past seven giving good oppor.
tur ty for shopping before the rise o.

The value of the excursion to os.
kaloosa could be measured only by
the number of packages taken home
by excursionists saturday might, which
testified eloquently to the value Of the
excursion TO Oskaloosa.
The success OF Mr.. Martins ven
ture will probably result In the run

AWFUL TRAGEDY DISCOVERED
NEAR INDEPENDENCE, IA,

Dies Molnes, la, Nov. 25.-@Airs. VIII.
liam Mcwllllams and her ave chill.
dren, ranging from three years 10 rs
years OF age, were found murdered
Friday afternoon at their farm home,
six miles south OF independence, Ia.
Tho husband and father. William Nc.
Williams, Is now under arrest at In.
dependence charged with the crime.
The murder was the most brutal In
the history OF eastern Iowa. Evident
ly the mother had been killed while
preparing a meal, probably dinner, for
when the bodies were found food was
on the stove cooking She had been
killed by blows Of hammer, and her
skull was terribly crushed; then she
had been savagely hacked with q
knife. After her murder, the children
had evidently been called In one by
one and murdered In similar man
ner, for all wore clothing that indlcat-
cd that they had been at work on the
farm just before death. The babe, not
three years old, when form still wore
a hood and mittens, an had In It's
hand piece OF butter<, bread One
blow OF the hammer dad sufllced for
IL, and then the murderer laid II In
It's desld mothers arms.
The only evidence OF struggle was
found In the injuries sustained by the
1G-year-oid daughter. Her hands
vera badly lacerated where she had
apparently clutched at the murderous
knife The murder was discovered by
q milkman named Saunders, who
called at the house 10 get milk When
officers reached the house no trace OF
the husband could be found but an
abandoned suit Of clothing was found,
badly smeared with human blood La
ter II was learned from rural mail
carrier that McWilllams had been
seen on his way 10 Independence In
the afternoon, and that he had coolly
told the carrier that his family had
been killed. lie came into Indepen.
dence by clrcuitous route, and was
not found until Friday evening. Nc
Williams denies his guilt, but evidences
connects him closely with the crime.
II Is generally believed that he Is In
sane, although IN his talk with the
officers he gives the impression that
he Is sane. IIe has long been known
as sullen man, and given 70 ugly
manifestations OF temper.

at a little place called Farson, new
town on tho line OF tho milwaukee

new $4,000 church in town Of very
few inhabitants, preached TO a con-
gregation numbering between Ave and
six hundred, and raised something
over seventeen hundred dollars TO
take up every bit OF debt outstanding
against tho church. The successful
solicitation for the necessary funds
appears the more remarkable when
II Is known that the church has only
twenty members.
Farson IL new town with few
houses recently built and few
shops, but the people came TO the
church from miles in all directions.
Mr.. summerville states that
there were between two and three
hundred teams driven 10 the town
from the surrounding country for the
dedication Of the church. The major
ity OF the membcrgfip are wealthy

that they have had in the Vicinity for
years and the first church they have
