The Terrible Crime Was Un doubtedly Committed I!y Some One Familiar With Mis. Matson Habits. The horril murdsr of Mrj. A. D. Matron, in lo-r hone at the corner of Fifteenth ami .M juroa streets an account of which was published in last evening's Jti kn a i, is the principal topic un the sircet- today. The hjrrjr that the deed has created in the public ruiud in intense, an J thcr'- is a general demand that no time or t- pt-i to spited to capture the murl"tor or murdereis and mete out the punishment i! eserved. An extra edition of the Si a i k .hit knai, at 5::; l-t even ing, gave boi.ic lator particulars of the irime, that the regular edition did not contain. Fur tl.osa who did not see that edition, we recapitulate the following: j Mrs. A. I). Matson was found dead on the rt oor of one of the rooms of her house j at Fifteenth and Jloirje at :i:UU o'clock by P.'ice o;l,eer- Ch iriea Lindsay, Tim Donovan, and a Jot K4i. reporter. The body l ad e i 1 vitly lain there for tt least ton days, as it was stitl and cold, and there had been no life about the Lou" for ten days. A buy who delivers milk at lit r house tad noticed that the can he left about ten days ago Lai stayed in the back doorstep and he give the alarn to the police. The boy was an employe of the John G.

The houss vas ljcked and sev eral keys were tr'.ed. As the otHoera stcod at a back window on the port h they could look directly in on the body as i; lay on the tloor with oise foot stick i tig through a door. It whs covered w.th clothing aod rags and a couple of sacks of sweet potatoes had been placed on her head. She lay in an easy position on her back with her arras at her side", ter head turned to the right, her right limb straight out and the other dra-w a up ji 1 ttle. Her clothes w re t irown up over her head and clotted blood held them to the tloor. The entire top of her head was crush ed in as though she haa been struck dead with one fearful blow. The crime must huve been committed very early in tae morning or late at night. as tt- house was en tirely locked and yet Mrs. Matson was fully dressed. Her cloak lay across a chair in the kitchen as though she had ju-t come iu anil thrown it there. When the coroner came he uncovered her head It was then found that uu old piece of carpet Lad beea wound aroucd her head three tines. This was saturated with I loo 1. "When the carpet was removed a horrible Bight was revealed The top of the dead woman's head was crushed and when the carpet was removed it took part of the aca'.p with it. The ssuil was crashed almost down to the eyes. An ax stood in one forcer of tl.e barren room 5a which ;he body lay and it wi.s with this weapon that the murder was pr jLabiy committed, though there was no blood upon it. There was only one room in the hoiiso that had not been ransacked and this was a large south room up-stairs which had been probably u-ed for a bed room. Iu this room evidently notulcg had been touched though there was a cheap pock ctbook under a cloth on a tatle which was entirely emf ty. Ia the north east up-stairs room the murderer had evidently expected to find money. A trunk stood near au old tingle ted which had been tided with trinkets and amail articles, and these were scattered over the tloor of the room. The bed clothes were t urned down and had evidently beea thoroughly eia m ined. In the parlor stood a secretary and tL' co ntents and letters had t een disarranged showing that the miscreant had not neg lected any thing, 'lhey probably found, money and this accounts for the fact that the large spare bedroom upstairs jiadtiol been molested. The neighbors In the vicinity are all colored, and they say that, they have not seen Mrs. Matson for two weeks. Mrs. Kobinson, who lives across the street says that she haw Mrs. Matsun about two weeks ago and she wa then coining from the direction of her houses and she had evidently been collecting rent. She saw no one around the house at any time and never heard any noise or disturbance of any kind there. Mrs. A. D. Matson was for several years a member of tho city board of education frcm the Fift.i ward and took an active intere-t in the city schools. She was at one timt- a c ity teacher t-ud was as well known as any woman in th-j city. Two years ago. Dr. J. M. Westertield was elected to succeed her. She was generally suppo-ed to have considerable money and owned live or six houses oa the east Bide. Her hus band left aer four or live years -o and took up a homestead hi California, whero he has since lived. Mrs. Matson was a member of the To peka Equal Suffrage association and a prominent suffrage worker. Mrs. Matson was iu the habit of visting at two places on Monro- street at the house of Hev. A. Z. Button at lj(l and 1j Li. Sain at l'S-j'j. Udv. Mr. Button sail to a Jm iinal re porter: "It has beea nearly a month since I saw Mrs. Matson. She generally stopped here on her way home from up town. She was perfectly fearless aud would come and go at all times with ap parently no thought of danger, the did not make many friends and neither did she have enemies. 1 do not lel,ive tiiat the murder could have been eommitt-d ty any one who knew her, for it was generally known that she kept a j money 4 1- D iiati. K Parlor. Va.-aut room. ;--Viu- about her. She was a great reader end her library is worth .it least :Joob'' Mrs. Sain said that she la-t saw Mrs. Matson on tha streets to weeks aeo. I Mrs. C. F. Peck is the mother of Walter Peck who helped clean out Mrs. Matson's cistero. She said that the work was done fully a moath ao and that her eon and a boy named C. Wiisersou did the work. Walter Peck is now vitit'ng on a farm in Jefferson county and his mother says that he left for toat. place two weeks ago today. The coroner's jury met this morning and viewed the remains at ivr.ich.'s nn. dertaning rooms but reached no verdict because no witnesses were jxatniced. The jury adjourned until o'clock to morrow morning. I- 31. Wood was foreman of the jury and the other members were Fred Jen ness, Xels McConaeil. Frank Eiii.-on, John Rogers aud J. W. Bailey. The body lay in tl e back room of the establishment in almost exactly the sume position in which it was f oui d'yesteruay. The head was split open from the top down almost to t ie bridge c f the nose and the blow that split the head was un doubtedly done with the sharper edge of the old ax found there. ILere ere other braises and cuts i-.b it the head and on the hands. The hatde looked as though she might have tried to ward off the blows of the as. There were no cuts or bruises on the body and there ia no evidence of assault. That theory seems to have been a mis taken one. The body 'is still at the undertaking rooms and will be turned over to her rel atives when they claim it. Flavel Downs of Atchison,who is a dis tant relative has beeu telegraphed. A yountr colored man by the name of Will Kobinson who lives across the street has possession of the house today at the dictation of Coroner Bailey. The coroner's jury visited the house after viewing the ramains and spent an hour in looking over old papers and let ters. Mrs. Matson waj a very careful busi nci woman and had her letters and papers tiled neatly. There were two letters that may throw some light on the case together with the story of George Knight, tha deaf and dumb colored man who says he saw two men enter the house on the night of M US. MATSON'S ilol'SK December 11 at ten o'clock. Little credence is given however to Inighis story. The letters are from her husband, AI- I bert Matson, and were written from au Diego. Cal. Oue was dated .November 1 and the other November 7. The sec ond had been written without waiting for au answer from the first. The tone of the letters would lead one to understand that Matson had left To neka with some vestige of scandal cling ing to him, and that lie wished to return, lie wrote to ask his wife if she would not sign some papers that he could show to some person or persons that would re move from him the evidence of having done anything wronsr. They were business-like letters, with no display of affection and without any feeling but bitterness against his enemie-. He wanted his wife to "clear his skirts" of this something that seemed to be against him in Topeka. The letters do not say anything iu regard to this some thing, except in one place, where he says: "I was never jealous of Mrs. b's doctor. I was never in love with any other man's wife. You know I am not that kind of a man. I have not been in love with any biped very recently. As to M'ns Mills, a certain young lady's little scheme did not work worth a cent. 1 received a letter from Mr. Mills recently, in which he said 1 feel that God has forgiven me and I hope you will. God bless you. Three of you can decide this question, and what you say shall settle what I shall do, and that very soon." There was also a marginal note that read: "I have not the money to pay off the mortgage and I believe I never will." All this was iu Matson's handwriting. Matson left Topeka some eight years ago and he and his wife have not lived together since. It would seem from the letters that he had asked her to sign a denial of his guilt before and she had re fused to do so or not answered the letters at all. There were no threats against Mrs. Matson or any one in the letters and Lhey began "Alameda" and were signed Al bert." The most unfoitunate part of the evi dence gathering is that George Knight, the only persou that says he saw any thing, is deaf and dumb. The only story he can tell is by sijrns, but he is a good deal of a pantomunist and his brother Will and ex-Constable Jimmie Harlan say they understand him very well. He lives in Tennesseetown but claims he was in the region of the house on the night the murder was probably L committed. The substance of his story is this: He was going north on the east side of the house w hen his attention was attracted to two men, tne of whom had got over the fence and was going toward the north window of the house. The man went to the window1', peeped in and then motioned his friend to follow. The man at the window was tall and wore a K ng beard The other was shorter and wore a mustache. Both were white men. Mr. Matson is a tall man and wears a full beard. Knight told his brother about it but William paid no attention to the story as he thought George had simply seen a tight somewiiere and was trying to des cribe it. As he puctures it he went to the win dow and saw the men strike Mrs. Matson and then he ran. Knight is said by people who know him to be a truthful man. On the other hand several who know Knight say that it is a trick of his to pretend he has wit nessed anything that is for the time at tracting public attention. His mind is not bright. So far as known the la3t person to see Mrs. Matson was a prominent suffrage woman who called on her on the morn ing of Tuesday, the 11th, to invite her to a meeting of the JF1 8. A. Mrs. Matson replied that she could not go, as she was expecting to go to Salina in a day or two to see about a corn deal she was having some trouble with there. The fact that the milk pail was on the back porch as usual Wednesday morn ing leads one to believe that the crime was committed after supper, as Mrs. Matson seldom put the pail there until about the last thing before retiring. A lamp was sitting on the dining room table as though it had teen set there hastily and blown out. The wick was turned far down as though that too had beea done tastily Mrs. Matson was a highly educated woman, and had many classic works in her library and a full set of the Encyclo pedia Britanica. She was a native of Ohio and a graduate of Antioch college at Ye. low Springs, in that state. Her maiden name was Doty. Mr. Matson was known in Kansas as a Congregational preacher. He preached at Brooiville in lS7o, and Carson, Brown county, in and subsequently in Do ver. W. C Gilpatrick. of Xo. 921 Fillmore street, used to know Matson and ''didn't think much of him." His wife, who re cently died, and Mrs. Matson wero very intimate. He says that Mr. and Mrs. Matson quarrelled over selling the four lots on which Monroe school now stands. "On oue occasion." Mr. Gilpatrick says: "Mrs. Matson aked me if I sup piosed her husba id really was infatuated with another woman.' I told her I didn't know. But about a year ago I was in San Dieo with my daughter. On Sun day we had an hour to spare before church and we thought we would FIFTEENTH ST UK KT SI 1E. go down towards the beach and see how the fishermen lived. We had cone several blocks when we met Mat son face to face. There could be no doubt of his identity. tie was wheeling a baby carriage. 1 pretended not to rec ognize him and I have never mentioned this to a soul except my daughter until now. Of course it may have been some body else's baby carriage, but it fastened a lasting suspicion in my mind. There vas nobody else in sight." SOMK OF Tltl't Tif KOi:l US Of Those Who ,lre Working ou tlie Cast, ivfii ltelow. 'There are half a dozen theories and plausible ones regarding the mysterious murder of Mrs. Matson. it should be remembered that her house is in a local ity which invites to deeds of violence, being only a short d. stance from the Missouri Pacific freight depot and a tramp shack. The theory that it is the work of a passing tramp has few ad herents. The work appears to have been done by piersous fiinnhar with Mrs. Mat son's habits and aware of the belief that she kept money in the house. A theory which seems to be the most reasonable, is that two men went to tne house when Mrs. Matson was away, and began a search for the money which was kept at ttie bottom of a little trunk up stairs. While they were ransacking the house Mrs. Matson approached the kitchen door. The robbers hoard her. They stood guard over the door with uplifted axe, and the moment Mrs. .Matson entered she was strucit dead. Ail the disarrangement of furniture aud articles in the house when it was first entered by otlicers add strength to this theory, it was there the axe was found. The only place in the house where there were any traces of blood except in tue vacant room where the body was found, was by the kitchen door. A Journal reporter found one of y- A -'.or -r "4 M K I). MATRON. Mrs. Matson's hairpins, bloody, in a bucket which stood on a low bench at the left of the door. It is reasonable to suppose that, the body was dragged into the vacant room, and the fact that the head was wrapped so many times in cloth would explain the absence of blood marks leading from one room to the other. The fact also that the cloth was so hrmly embedded in the faco and wound, would indicate that the robbers gave the woman a number of blows with the axe after it was bandaged, to make their work doubly sure. Then they resumed their search of the house. They did not touch the large 'spare room" upstairs, although every other room waa thoroughly ransacked. This proves to those working on the case that they found what they were aft er before reaching it. When the rob bers went out they locked the kitchen door. The key found in the door was covered with blood. Then they wont out through the window through which the JocTtNAL reporter and the policemen crawled in. This is the theory which in view of the facts seems most probable. At first sight Sergeant Dono van believed the woman had been murdered upstairs. This 13 an absurdity, chiefly because if she was murdered there the murderers would have left her there. iNobody could have detected their victim through a window. i Again, there were no traces of blood up stairs, as there surely would have been j had the murder beea committed there. iUad ilra. Matson been upstairs she would probably have retired, yet the remains were fully dressed, and her cloak was on a chair, where it had been carelessly tossed. The most acceptable theory also is that the murderers knew Mrs. Matson's habits. Since the discovery yesterday the Jock nai. has had as many men working as many hours on the case as the police have, and its reporters are not prepared to tell all they know. George Knight, the colored deaf mute, who, by signs, has been trying to show that he had seen two men crawl in the window, lives in Ten nesseetown. The question is suggested: What was he doing arouud the Missouri Pacific junction that titne of the night? Hal he looked in the window as he claims to have done he could scarcely have failed to have seen the covered re mains, for the view from one side of the house to the other was unobstructed, and the moon was at its fullest. However, George Goddard. foreman of the street force, says Knight attempted to tell sev eral men by signs about his knowledge of the affair as early as a week ago, but they understood him to be referring to a tight he had seen somewhere. The axe with which the murder was committed does not belong to the Matson house. Mrs. Matson had a new axe of her own in the house, which had no blood on it. The bloody axe is au old one made out of a heavy limb of hedge-wood. When the owner of the axe is found, the mystery will be much nearer solution. Mrs. Matson had pronounced and ec centric ideas about how affairs of govern ment should be conducted. One of her hobbies was that the county made a great mistake in encouraging pauperism by distributing free food among the poor, She often went to the poor commission ers and to the Associated Charities and protested against their supplying some of her neiglibors whom she said were lazy and able to work if they were dis posed to. On one occasion Mrs. Matson ex nressed slixrht fears in regard to one colored miii especially who is known iu i that part of town as a tough character. .MKS. .1. i. KTIVSISI'ICIONS. Led to hisrorery of tlie Murder of Mrs Matton. It was Mrs. Bina Otis, wife of ex-Con-gressnian John G. Otis, who led to tho discovery of iho crime. Mrs. Otis was seen by a Journal reporter last night and she said "My son Foster delivers milk at Mrs. Matson's house and he told me last Sat ur lav that nobod. seemed to bo at home. He found the bucket in the same place on the kiiciien porch every morning with tho mdlt untouched. 1 said then I leared something was wrong, and told him to look in the windows and see if there seemed to be anyone at home. He was sensitive about 'prowling around,' as he expressed it, in places w here he had no business, and he didn't do so. 1 kept thinking about it all week and it worried me, so yesterday after noon I reported it at police headquar ters. 1 felt rather guilty for reporting it, and thought maybe I was meddling in something which did not concern me." Mrs. Oas was not aware of the result of the investigation which she started until a Journal reporter told her. She was greatly horrified, as might have been expected. She knew Mrs. Matson well. WHAT MISS I.OV KLI, KNOWS. An Intimate Frieml of M r. Matron Coii tributett f iiformatioci. Miss Sue I. Lovell of 1123 Harrison street, a teacher in the public schools was one of the most intimate friends of Mrs. Matson. Several times when Mrs. Matson was out of town Miss I.ovell at tended to her business affairs. She says that besides the property in the vicinity of Walnut Grove. Mrs. Matson owned the larger part of some valuable Lincoln street property. IShe owned jointly with her husband some farms near Salina. Mr. Matson was her second husband, and she was left her property by her first husband. It is intimated that Mrs. Matson had a will which ignored her husband in the disposition of her property. It was un derstood between them that she should leave her property to her relatives, and the husband might bequeath his share of the estate to his relatives. There is one person in town who claims to know where the will is, and that she "can lay her hands on it" when ever it becomes necessary unless that document was taken by the murderers. Miss Lovell had repeatedly cautioned Mrs. Maisou regarding her personal safety. Mrs. Matson never expressed any fears, but gave the names of some "uad men" ia the neighborhood whom she said had given her a great deal of trouble as tenants and in other ways. STII.L. t'Al.lKIKMA, Tlie State ifouninl iilve Alhert Matnon tlio first New. This morning tho State Journal sent a message to San Diego where lives Al bert Matson, tlie husband of the mur dered woman. The facts were brielly told and the questions asked: Is Albert Matson at San Diego and has he been there continuously for several weeks: if not when did he leave California, as he was expected in Topeka about this time'.'' The following reply came this after noon "Albert Matson is still in this city, but has heard nothing of the murder. We have sent your message to his house, about two miles out. He is a music teacher here." TO I'HOIOliliAl'H THE RETINA. Ierhap tlie Murderer's Piclure May lie Fouml in Mrs. Mat-ton's Eye. It was decided this afternoon that eye photography should be resorted to as a possibie means of finding a clue to the murderer. Scientists say that when death is met facing a murderer, the mur derer's features are indelibly trausfixad on the victim's eyes after death. In event that Mrs. Matson was struck from behind, this theory will prove useless. A case is cited in the Associated Press today from Jamestown, X. Y.t where a murderer is detected in this way. The dispatch says, in part: "The existence of the impression of the murderer on the eye was first dis covered by means of a powerful micro scope.

So He Surest That It IV Ma.ie ruanimous. The first intimation of how the legisla ture will stand on the state printt-r ques tion has been made public by Editor Ed W. Hoch of the Marion llecord who in this week's issue of his paper tells all he knows about the printer situation and thou moves that the nomination of Major J. Iv. Hudson be made unanimous. Edito- Hoch publishes a letter, of which he sent copies to all the members of the legislature iu which he sai l: "Mr Dkak Sir: I write you frankly concerning the state printing. As many of my friends know, this is the only oihou I want, and 1 wpnt it because 1 need it But during the campaign 1 have care fully avoided "reference to the matter, save in two or three cases where 1 was approached ou the subject, and then I made evasive replies, preferring to con tribute my mite to the redemption of the state before discussing a matter far less important, the matter of loaves aud fishes. Even now 1 hesitate to seek this position, though a pairely business one, because it seems to me our party is iu danger from an unseemly scramble for spoils. "If I do not have a reasonable show of puccess 1 do not wish to bother about thu matter. May 1, therefore, frankly ak if you are pledged to anyone'.' I do not ask a definite expression from you, but if ou will frankly indicate your preference I will appreciate it and thank you for it, whether favorable to me or not. If an other has a majority preference I will gracefully move to make it unanimous 'for the gool of the order." "Shake, anyhow, over tho great victory in state and nation." Commenting on the result of the letter he says: "I have received seventy replies to thu ninety-two letters sent out. of the sev enty who have replied, nearly all say they are unpledged: fourteen are for Major J. K. Hudson: many more express themselves as favorable to him: two fa vor lion. Ed Greer; two favor Mr. r-non.s-ler; six favor Mr. George W. Crane; ten are for me, and aeven others exprt-ss themselves as favorable to ni". Thu others express no choice. It is renr ma ble to suppose t hat mo--t of the twenty two who have not replied are favorable to another." In conclusion he says: "I have given twenty years of faithful service to the Republican pi rly. It lias cost me ten dollars to every one 1 ever got out of it. But I do not complain. .My Republicanism has no string to it, with au office at the end of the siring. Another twenty years, if they shall be mine to give, will just as cheerfully bo given to the best party ever organized, and given without money and without price, and without otlico.

About 3 o'cloctt this morning an attempt was made to rob the L'nion Paci fic depot here, and a dastardly assault was made by the rob ber upon Miss Fannie Neabitt, the operator in charge. Miss Nesbitt's in juries are so serious that she may die She was sitting by her instrument when a man wearing an overcoat and having a haudkercuief tied over the lower part of the thee entered the station. In his hand lie carried a revolver and. he at once began shooting at the lamps. Miss Nesbitt was alone. She opened the office door aud started into the waiting room when the robber caught her and striking her over the head with the re volver, knocked her insensible. The robber made a hurried search through the cash drawer and other piace, but found no money. Then he quickly left the station. f The only clue to the robber is a yacht ing cap which tie forgot in the excite ment. Special Agent Peters of the L uion Pacific is on the ground and will eudeavor to capture the robber. He is supposed to be a resident of Bouner Springs. Miss Nesbitt has a scalp wound about an iueti loug on the top of her head, aud it is believed her skull ia fractured.

Democrats Wanted Something That Would Go Through. The Substitute Lets the National Banks Bun Alomr. Washington-, Dec. 21. The Carlisle currency bill now before the house of representatives will be withdrawn and a substitute presented. This decision was reached after a caucus of the Democrat ic members of the bauking and currency committee tpiietly held last night, fol lowed by a conference between Secretary Carlisle and Chairman Springer today. The sub?titute has already been drawn and will be offered by Mr. Springer to day or tomorrow, certainly before the holiday recess as the desire of all con cerned is to get it before the country prior to the adjournment. It differs very materially from the original Car lisle bilL The caucus of the banking and cur rency committee Democrats was held at the committee room last night, the fol lowing members being present: Spring er, Cox, Culberson. Sperry, Warner, Cobb. (Ala and Lllis. The absentees were Cobb (.M.O.), Hall (Mo.), and John son, (O.; It was reported that Secretary Carlisle was present but this proves incorrect. The discussion toox a wide range and the sentiment was general that the bill would have to be materially changed in order to meet objections and command a support which would secure its passage. The needed amendments were formulat ed and when the caucus adjourned it was not contemplated that the Carlisle till should be more than amended. It was arranged that Mr. Spriuger should see Mr. Carlisle today and submit the con templated changes. When Secretary Carlisle and Mr. Springer met today it was decided that the better plan would be to frame a new measure in the nature of a substitute in Head of mutilating the original bill with many amendments which went to its vital principles. Accordingly the sub stitute was agreed to in full and as soon as it can be copied and put in proper bill form, it will be presented to the house and thenceforth be the bill on Which cur rency debate is to proceed. Two very important features make their appearance for the lirst time in the substitute. The main one will have the effect of allowing the nat.onal bank sys tem to run along without any arbitrary provision that banks must organize un der the new system Ihe original Car lisle bill contemplated that all national banks must reorganize under tha new plan. Ttiis would have required them to sur render the government bonds which now constitute the basis of their circulation. But the substitute does away with this imperative change. If national banks wish to continue to hold their United States bonds and issue circulation thereon they may do ao. It is felt that they w ill soon discover the advantage of the new system and will therefore adopt it vol untarily. '1 he other important feature of the sub stitute is that it does away with the un known liability of banks to guarantee the notes of ail other banks. This fea ture of the original bill has been much criticised. It contemplated that if a na tional bank failed its uotes would be paid out of its assets and the "general safety fund'' made up by all the banks. But if the assets and safety fund were insufhc ient to pay the notes of the failed bank, then the comptroller of the currency was to make a pro rata assessment on all the banks cf the couutry. The banks said this prospective assess ment shouldered them with an unknown risk. In effect it made them Supply in surance on all the notes of banks in which they had no concern. In view of these criticisms the substi tute will do away with the assessment plan. The "safety fuud" will be the limit cf the joint liability of all the banks for the failure of individual banks. They will, however, be compelled to keep up this safety lund by more rigid provisions than appeared in the original bill. Besides these two main changes, there are many lessor ones, which were sum marized as amendments in these reports yesterday, but which will not be incor porated as apart cf the substitute. HIS 131 AGE WASN'T THERE. When Mrs. Shearman's Kye lias Itemoved Ihe Murderer', Figure IUapj,eare,l. Jamkstown, N. Y., Dec. 21. The re moval ol the murdered Mrs. c-iiearmau s eyes for a second photographic experi ment has not been rewarded with suc cess. The eyes are covered with a film, which prevented discernment of the figure seen yesterday afternoon. Various chemicals were tried to clear the eyes, but failed, and the experiment was aban doned. Coroner Bowers, Fred Marsh and Sheriff Jeuner said today that they would take their oath that the ligure was plain ly visible before the eyes were taken from the body. The coroner thinks it was a mistake to remove the eyes and that if the eyes had been .undisturbed the photographs could easily have been obtained. Much inter est was taken in this experiment and the outcome will be a disappointment to many who expected to secure a photo graph from the eyes with the hope of getting some clue to the murderer.

At the expiration of thirty days the gov ernment allows the depositor 2 per cent on the money deposited. 'I was specially impressed with the railroad facilities of Belgium. I do not wish to be unierstood as favoring gov ernment ownership of railroads, but the system of transportation throughout the country is absolutely free from incon venience or flaws of any kind.

Chicaco, Dsc 21. John IJ.irnj made an address to Trades' Unionists at Turner Hall last night. Anong other things he said "We have all seei how an inflation of trade is followed bv a period of depres sion. We see poverty following on the heels of prosperity, and at shorter inter vals than it once did. Thomas Carlyle has said that the greatest evil with waich modern society was confronted, was indus trial anarchy and the resulting political disintegration. It matters not whether a country be new or old iniu.-tr.ai anarchy and the resulting evils of B icial vice and disorder prevail. "Whether a -o eminent is monarchical or democratic makes but little difference as far as the condition of the working classes is concerned. Here in this country you do not have the mili tary aristocracy that we have ia England but you have the aiitocracy cf the spec ulator and the monopolist and as far as the two evils are concerned it i a choice between the devil and the deep sea." The speaker real the celebrated prophecyofAbrah.ini Lincjluiu which he outlined the struggle between capital and labor, which, iu his vision, was the greatest menace to the prosperity of his country, and he ailed that ho would rather haveflrf-incoln on the side of John Purns than a dozen millionaires. The prophecy of Lincoln had co ue U pass. The happiness of whole ct mmunities was dominate 1 by the Jay Goulds, and the Astors left this country i.fter having sucked its wealth to seek favor of the aristocracy of the continent. To save the republic front these condi tions the speaker urced his aearers not to tear up the railroads an 1 wreak des truction by dnamre. but to m inieipulize monopoly after monopoly ut.til they were all iu the hands of the people. Organized labor must take a stand in behalf of the people and demand political and social equality through the inunicipidiz-ation of the monopolies. In this work of saving the country from the hands of a few men who were trying to throt'le it, they would j have the sympathy of every labor leader aud trades union in the old country. They must hang together or they would, hang separately. it i x v Tills- iTis iiT) x i:s t A Council ItluU's Minister Sa s liarp Tilings AiiiMlt Mmaatiiiii IVajjes. Cni Nri. Bi.rn-s, fa.. I c. 21.

The preacher said: "If there is any money missing, aud that it is missing lias not yet been prove 1, the hand lying at my feet grasping that nosegay of. (lowers did not tilke it. Huntington was sensi tive to evil, or imputation of evil. The shooting was not planned before haul; it was born of frenzy. Who is responsible for that frenzy? God, in His own good time will answer. "Ho felt the waves of frenzy stealing over him and his eyes looked in vain from one to another of the t-roup before him for help. Those who shcul 1 liave been there to protect hi in had lelt him to light his battle alone. If they had any idea of the thoughts th it were surg ing through his brain how willingly would they have said the word or done the deed that might have prevented the horrible event. "Why is it that business h;is come to the point where they m ist hunt our young men down': Responsibility de mands a suitable return. Where thou sands of dollars pass through a young man's hands, with every temptation to crookedness held out before him, how can there be any justice in paying him only to a month'.'

Chairman Wilson of the ways aud means commit tee says no consideration has yet been given to further tariff legislation which would overcome the disagreements be tween this country and Germany. Prance and Austria as a result of the differential duty on the sugars of these countries. After the German ambassador had made a vigorous protest against the duty, Germany closed her ports against Amer ican meat products. Denmark followed suit, and a general commercial warfare between 'he Pnited States aud sugar-producing countries has seemed imminent. Pnder these circumstances it was be lieved that congress would take off the differential and thus restore commercial harmony. Mr. Wilson says, however, that any steps in that direction must be taken by the senate where the house bill for free suijar is now ending with amendments. The senate linancial committee in re porting back the free sugar bill, struck out the entire text of the house bill and inserted a forty per cent ad valorem duty on sugars. No reference was made to the differential duty of 1 1-10 of one cent against coun tries paying an export duty on sugars so that the omission is said to have the effect of repealing the differ ential. The subject is therefore ready to be taken up whenever the senate con siders the free sugar bills and Mr. Wilson does not consider it necessary to get up an independeut measure dealing witu th?) differential against foreign countries. Mr. Geortre II. Davis of Chicago, who is here to uiire the rcoeal of the differ ential iu order that trie German ports j may be reopened to American meats, has t not yet conferred with Chairman Wilson I or any members of the ways and means committee. j Mr. Wilson does not appear to be greatly impressed by the elfort to have j the embargo removed on American moats. '-When we have the meat trust allied against the sugar trust," he said, j "there is hope that the people may se-j cure some consideration." 6 c3 STEVENSON CO.

After an executive session lasLing for several hours, the board of police which have been investi- j gating- the propriety of the Sunday eve- j nitig concerts, lias decided to revoke the licenses granted to the Palace theater, Howard Athenaeum aud Grand Dime Mu- j seum. No action was taken in the cases of the Boston and lloilis street theaters, I judgment in the former case being sus- j peaded on account of a disagree- j me ut. The reason for revoking the three li censes is that the managers of those theaters do not pay special attention to sacredness of the Sunday concert pro grammes. The licenses were granted by the board of aldermen but under an act of the legislature of lb'Ji the board of po lice is given authority to revoke the li censes granted by the aldermen. This decision is looked upon as a victory by the pleaders of the movement against Sunday concerts. A I'nique Idea.

IL L. officials, goes to the Cook county jail for six months next Monday, says: "If any one thinks we are going to jail to pose us martyrs he is simply thinking rot. I doti't want to go to jail, and svould not go if there was any way out of it. We ail have families and would prefer being with them to staying behind bars. It is simply a case of yielding to the inevita ble. "We Avere in consultation yesterday with a number of eminent lawyers, in cluding, of course, our counsel, and the decision was reached that we had better go to jail. It was decided that if the case svas not appealable, and the right to appeal was in doubt, there wa3 left only thj question of jurisdiction, with the chances 1,00 to 1 that it would go against us. Then we concluded that after all experiments had been tried we would have to go to jail anyway, and that it was better to go now and get the th.g over. "If we could stave the thing oil for six months or a year we would be in a stute of constant worry all the time and then we would get the jail sentence on the top of it. A rata laboring under uncertainty and doubt as to his future is as oadly oil, almost, as if he was in jail. "While we serve our sentences out, how ever, we will contest the case at every point. The principles involved are of the highest importance, and we want to get the matter settled definitely, if pos sible, by the highest court, for the sake of others if not for ourselves. Our con finement will not retard such a course iu the least. If it is necessary to the carry ing out of our plans habeas corpus pro ceedings may be resorted to, but only iu an emergency.

Harris D. Booge, Jr., senior member of the defunct firtu of Booge, Frazee te Co., was suspended yes terday for ten years from exercising h;s piivileges as a member of the board of trade. The firm of Booge, Frazee Co. had offices in the Rialto building. Its clients consisted principally of farmers aud commission merchants iu Iowa and Kansas The members of the firm weer usually 0.1 the bull side of the market and their clients were said to have giveu them orders to carry corn long. Owing to the long continued de pression in the price of corn and wheat during the spring and early summer it was considered a safe purchase by bulls if they could hold on long enough. Many of the firm's clients ordered Booge and his partners, it is said, to buy corn for them and carry it until the price jumped. These orders were supposed to have been carried out, and when the big bulge in corn came in the summer the Iowa and Kansas customers felt happy because they believed they were on the right side of the market. Booge, Frazee Co. closed their doors, however, and it is 9aid every mem ber of the firm disappeared. ihe cus tomers then learned, it is said, that in stead of buying corn for them the firm had been speculating in other directions and had been unable to meet its liabilities ss-hen corn jamped. It was claimed that the tircn owed its customers $100,0JJ. A receiver was appointed for the concern, but he found little to satisfy the credi tors. Harris I. Booge, jr., A-as the only member of the lirm who was also a member of the board of trade. No action ss-as taken by the board concerning the conduct of the missing broker, aa he did not attempt to appear -in the lioor, and nothing was done toward suspending him. Yesterday, how over, Mr. Booge went before the execu tive committee. It svas hia first appear ance since the failure- of the firm and his reception wus not as cordial as a long absent man mi'ht ex ect He was ac companied by George J. Brine, a well known member of the board, who ap peared iu a sort of advisory capacity. Booge wanted to know if the executive committee intended to suspend hiui, as he had heard such action might be taken if he appeared on the floor. He denied the right of the committee to do this, ad it would result in great financial loss to him. He claimed that the board did not possess arUitrary powers in this direc tion. After a long discussion the executive committee suspended Booge for teu years for employiug peculiar method in doing busiuess for his clients. Booge threatened to carry the case to the courts. II. D.

Swee ney, bartender; William Kumslage, sub contractor; James Ryan. Evidence which it has taken the pa tient, plodding industry of fix weeks to collect, was presented to the grand jury. This es ideuce ij) regarded as of so clinch ing a character as to inevitably lead to the immediate indictment of all the men involved, about thirty, and to their sub sequent journey to the penitentiary. A fund of .$50,000, necessary to the prosecution, has been put into tho bauds of Lyraan J. Gage. He insisted that no money would be spent until the evi dence was in shape to warrant a convic tion.
