THE DOVER sEE.sAw.

TN THE absence OF any real work,
4 the members Of the Senate manage
daily to furnish a sensation or two,
Yesterday IN particular the air was
full OF rrmor that something was do
tng." and the on-lookers held their
breaths as the statesmen passed 20
their conferences.
In his prayer in the morning, Dr.
Barrett veuy fervently invoked the Di-
vine aid IN solving the problem Of or
ganization. yet one senator who as
pires to the dignity Of Speaker pro tenn,
according TO reports, spoke Of IL flip
PANTY as being IN the nature Of a joke
In fact, 1t Is all a jake, a roaring
farce. and the people OF this State are
paying for their amusement But We
feel obliged 10 mention sub rosa that as
far as being interested IN the spectacle
IS concerned tho spectators have al
most ceased to care II there Is not
enough common sense 20 effect an or
ganizatlon. there Is hardly enough Of
that commodity to weigh and pass mer-
dtorious measures. We think that from
the temper thus far displayed the peo-
pie should assemble IN their houses Of
worship and pray that this Legislature
may never effect an organization.
Among the rumors yesterday was
one to the effect that the President has
asked senator Conner to retire from the
contest. promising him as a reward a
fine Federal Office. A very improbable
story. Il is inconceivable that the Pres
ident would swerve man from what
ne Regards as a plain duty by the offer
OF a Federal plum. 10 Is also incon-
ceivable that he would appoint a man
who defended the voters assistant law
on the ground that when he bought
a horse he wanted his horse. and that
when man bought a vote he wanted
his vote" And. besides. the President
would hardly recognize a hold-up by
rswarding q man FOR abandoning It.
Rumor says that Conner IS to retire
and Senator r. c. Moore win become
the candidate and he elected Speaker
pro tenn. But II there is any principle
at stake, what Is the difference between
Conner and Moore? II either is to be
elected It had better be Conner since
he is the choice OF the Union Republl-
cans. and ~ elected his party would
have to assume fun responsibility for
his acts. 1t is a perplexing, not to say
disgusting. situation. and we are in
olined 70 think that had the Regulars
taken our advice and given the entire
organization into the hands Of the Un-
ions at the beginning It would have
been better.
But looking into the future, we think
the Union Republican Senators Should
be told that every day they are en-.
dangering the success Of the Republican
party two years 10 come. For the peo.
pie viii hardly care to choose a seoont
Legislature that win not organize.

ALL OF HOCK'S
WIVES ARE DEAD
Relatives Say They Died
Under Circumstances That
Are Suspicious
CHICAG0'S LATEST SENSATION

Chicago. Jan. 25. - Information Of
more alleged victims of the supposed
Bluebeard, John Hoch, has been given
the police by John Frick, an employe
of the Nickle-Plate Railroad.
Fricll has reported 10 the police a
charge that his sister, Mrs. Mary
Schultz, married Hoch, who then cali
ed himself Alber Muschburg, at Argos,
Ind, in 1900. Mrs. Schultz had a
child, named Nettie, then years old.
Shortly after they arrived in Chicago
letters ceased coming to me-" said
Frick, "and ! am under the belief that
my sister and her little gin were done
away with. My sister had about $500
at the time of the marriage"
Relatives Of various wives of Hoch
express belief that the women died
under suspicious circumstances.
The list Of wives thus far know is
as follows: Mrs. Mary Walker Hoch,
died January II, 1905; Mrs. Mary
Steinbecker, died 1894; Mary Decker.
St Louis, died 1902; Mrs. Mary
Schultz, Argos. Ind, died 1900; child
also disappeared; Mrs. Lena Hoch,
Milwaukee; Mrs. Sophia Hoch Mil
wauhee.
Acting on the theory that Hoch is
the missing janitor of the notorious
II. H. Holmes castle" the police are
using the same methods to trace Hoch
as were used in seeking Holmes. The
officers believe Hoch 10 be a pupil of
Holmes, and that he will use the same
ruses that were employed by Holmes
10 escape arrest.
Police Inspector Shippey heard that
in April, 1898, Hoch was on trial for
an alleged attempt TO swindle a furni-
ture firm. A minister from Wheeling.
w. Va, was in Chicago and recognized
in Hoch a man who the minister had
married some time before, and whose
wife had died under suspicious circum-
stances. A police officer may be sent to
Wheeling to question the minister.
A furniture dealer on Milwaukee
avenue informed the police that he had
furnished five different fats for Hoch,
each time under a different name. and
that he had a new wife for every fat.
The first fiat furnished was in May,
1892, under the name of c. A. Meyer;
the second in June. 1892, under the
name Of H. Trick; the third in 1894,
the dealer does not recall the name
used, but Il was different from that
used on any other occasion; the fourth
was in 1894. under the name Of Jacob
Hob. The wife this time was Mrs.
Mary Steinbrecher. The fifth Fat was
furnished in 1898, under the name of
Adolph Hoch. This time Hoch gave a
mortgage on the goods and then sold
them. For this he was sentenced to
year in the county jail.
The dealer told the police that he
knew that the women who were in
stalled in the first three fats died in
a short time after marriage. He asked
Hoch why he changed his name every
time he married. and Hoch replied
that he did not believe he could get
married under the same name every
time, as many women would object to
marrying a man who had been so
many times a widower.
