POLICE CANNOT
FIND MURDERER
Officers Completely Baflled Over the
MiddletOwn Tragedy.
ALL SUSPECTS RELEASED
WOMAN PARTIALLY REGAiNS
CONSCIOUSNESS.

"a IDDLETOWN, y. Y oct S.-All
III attempts of the county and local
police officers to clear up the
mystery of the murder OF Willis and
Fred OIney and little Alice Ingerick at
the Olney farm, near here and the
murderous assault on Mrs. Iugerick on
Friday night, have so far been fruit
less. II was believed this morning
that some clue 10 the murder had been
found when Allanson Graham, an old
man living near the Olney place, was
arrested on information furnished by
AIRS. Hngerick, the only member of the
Olney household who escaped death,
but who was found terribly injured and
unconscious in the barn. After being
kept in custody all day and closely eN-
AHMED, Graham tonight couelusNely
proved mis- innocence and was dis
charged from custody
Arrested on Suspicion.
Mrs. Ingerick was employed by him
as a hOusekeeper until a few weeks
ago, when she returned to MiddletOWn
> and soon afterward went to live with
the Qlney brothers. This was said to
haVs been resented by Graham, who is
reported 10 have made efforts 10 induce
her to return To him, and this, with the
stories told by Lulu IngeTick Of alleged
threats by Graham against her mother
appear TO have been the basis ON which
the authorities decided to arrest Ora
ham.
Mo Evidence Against Them.
Daniel Davis and his wife who live
near New Vernon, were taken to police
headquarters tonight and closely in
terrOgated, and later it was announced
that there apparently was no evidence

that they would he honorably dis

seriousness for the first time since the
assault this morning ana, although not
able 10 speak, succeeded in replying to
the interrOgatOTies of District Attorney
Rogers by nOdding and shaking her
head. What information was thus

Employees Of Burning Building
May Have Been Lost.
A Jam On the Fire Escape Came
Near Causing An Awful
Disaster.
THE FIRE LOSS Is $25O,OOO

Chicago, Dec. 20.-One fireman
was killed and several employees may
have lost their lives in a fire which
destroyed the enamel sign factory of
Charles w. Sconk company, to Is
Park street last night. Until the ruins
Of the building have been searched
II will not be positively known whe-
Their any employees were killed either
in an explosion which started the fire
or by falling walls and floors which
followed soon after.
While the fire was in its height
he walls suddenly collapsed and a
number of firemen were precipitated
n the debris. With the exception OF
lieutenant Henry Dassell of Truck
company No. "a, who was crushed to
ieath, all the firemen escaped with a
severe shaking up. A number OF en-
oloyes were injured in the panic that
'ollowed after the fire broke ut,and
ior.a time there we're all sorts of
-umors as to the number of persons
killed.
There were 40 girls and 100 men
md boys employed in the factory and
according to the company officials all
but two have been accounted for. The
police and firemen, however, declare
several of the employees were unable
o escape and were in the building
when the floors and walls collapsed.
The employees said to be missing by
he company are Margaret Becker
md Henry Saute.
When the firemen arrived at the
building the employees were panic
stricken and were vanly endeavoring
TO reach the street down the fire es-
ape, became damned and were un-
able to make any progress. With the
help of the firemen and police, how
ever, order was restored and the ma
jority of employees were assisted to
the street.
The employees who were injured
were hurt in the jam on the fire es-
,apes, but the condition of none OF
them is serious.
The loss on the building which is
six-story structure, is $25O,0OO.

There Was Some Dispute Be-
tween the House and Senate.
The House Spends Its Time Debating
the Subject Of a Sixty Dollar
Janitor.
AND INSURANCE is DISCUSSED

Washington, Dec. 20.--The sem
ate yesterday accepted the report OF
the committee on the Panama canal
emergency appropriation bill and
thus so far as it is concerned, finally
disposed of that measure. The ac-
eeptance of the report was preced-
ed by a brief discussion of the resto
ration of the bond provision to the
appropriation bill and of the action
of the house in resenting the senate !
lction in separating these two ques
lions. Speeches were made by Al
drich, Spooner and Teller, all ex-
pressing the opinion the senate had
not contravened the constitutional
provision requiring that all revenue
legislation shall originate in the
house of representatives. The house
message was referred to the commit
tee on finance with instructions To
report on the senate prerogatives on
the question involved. Several mi
nor bills were passed during the day.

this there is not the smallest doubt
Let me give you the exact words OF a
person who is carrying round the
revolutionary manifesto:
Before we have settled upon
whether we have to pay taxation on
Jan. 3 or March 49," said he, much
blood will flow. The troops are ready
and we are ready The soldiers are
with us all over the country. The
guards here in st. Petersburg are
faithful.
"As for those In the provinces,
they are ours. They have shown us
where we can get arms. as many as
we want When we have got the RI
fles they have arranged how we can
conceal them. What matters st. Pc
tersburg particularly? How can 81.
Petersburg hold out If the remainder
of the country goes for us.
"When the decisive moment comes
we shall be both organized and arm
ed. This time we shall accept the
government challenge and come out
into the street. and ! think our plan
will be found to be such that the mill
itary will not care to face us.
Bombs are plentiful and our
forces are so distributed that every
thing will work together. This time
there will be none of the foolhardi-
ness of Jan. 8. but force will be
met by force and discipline by equal
discipline"
