Matson Was Murdered by Nelson Railey, Mrs. Matson's Tenant- A Heavy Murderous Looking Iron Implenient I1ELOXGI.NG TO BAILEY Found in the Bloody Wrappings About the Head Of the Murdered Woman, and Fully Identified. BAILEY RUNS AWAY. He Lett for Chattanooga Last 31 ondav. Arrests 3Iade Today and 3Iore Coining The Iiuuiest. There are strong indications today that the murderer of Mrs. A. D. Matsou has been discovered. Suspicion now rests strongly on ISels Bailey, colored, and a tenant of i.rs. Matson's. Bailey left hurriedly for Chattanooga, Tenn., last Monday. Today the officers came into the pos session of facte which prove almost be yond dispute that the witidow-weight used for a 'luir-shot" which was found yesterday, belonged to Bailey. He displayed the same weapon some time ago when he said he was going to kill his wife who had ruu off with another man. The names of the persons who identified this weapon can not be published at present. The finding of the window weight ia the only clue which has brought any tangible results. The window weight ia a heavy iron piece about live inches long with a hole at one end through which a rope was passed and formed a loop. Around the rope, cloth was wrapped to keep the rope from cutting the hand of the man carrying it. When the loop was slipped about the wrist it formed a weapon which could kill at a single blow. This deadly weapon was found by ''Doc" Ward yes terday wrapped in the old dress which had been twisted over Mrs. Matson's head. The police hi-.d examined the same cloth a day before, but not carefully, as thev were saturated with blood and not pleasant things to handie. The work of locating the owner of the "slug-shot"' has occupied the time of Sheriff Burdge, John Wilkerson, "Doc" Ward and the Journal reporter ever since. The oiiicer3 found that Mrs. Frank N eve is had once possessed j an apron like the cloth found ou the slug. This resulted in Frank level's arrest I last night. Bdiley was strongly suspect- ed yesterday, but for obvious reasons this was not given publication. j Bailey is a well known colored man, having played the trombone in Jackson's Di.-p ttch baud. At one time he ran the I furnaces in the Metropolitan building, j He is rather fleshy, but not decidedly so. j lie once worked in a local undertaker's j store, when an incident occurred which i shows the nature of the man. All of the other men were out and someone had to i bo sent to embalm a colored woman, When he returned the boss said: "Well, Bailey, how did you get along'.'" "Oh. i think she'll keep, sab. I tr.-tst have poured most a gallon into her, sai," i and he laughed loud and long at his humor. 'ielegrams wsre sent to Chattanooga today to arrest Bailey and hold him o:i the charge of murder. An accurate des- cription of the man was also sent. i AKKKS.S MADE. Tiie Sheriff Maliet a, Haul of Im portance Last Nijiit. Sheriff Burdge and a party of deputies made the first arrests last nigl.t that have been made in connection with the Mat son murder. There are reasons for think ing that Frank Nevels, a negro about 3.) years old, a cook by occupation, was one of the murderers. He is known to the officers as an all-round crook. The oilier man arrested was booked for assault, and while he 13 not suspected of any impli cation in the murder he appears to be entirely too wist regarding it. In the party which made the arrests were Sheriff Burdge, John M. Wdker son, a Journal reporter, "Doc" Ward, J. F. Dumont, Dan Jones, and a colored maa familiar with that part of the city, who was deputized to act as a guide. The arrests were made in a secluded place. By following Fifteenth street almost to the fchunga nunga the road curves slightly. After following the curve several rods a loneiy lane is reached which leaas north through the woods to an old dry rav.ae which appears to describe a half circle. Climbing down one bank and up the other, a group of half a dozen two room houses are found od the elevation in the center. Mrs. Matson owned these houses, and more undesirable tenants could hardly be imagined. Ia order that the houses might be sur- ro'inded and escape shut off, the officers left the Missouri Pacific depot shortly before dusk in two parties,, one going boldly by way of Fifteenth street and the other cutting across a large cornfield and approaching by the rear. White the other houses were guarded Sheriil Burdge and John Wilkeron went to the houce of Nelson Bailey. lhey were told that Bailey had left town last Monday for parts unknown. A search of the house tailed to liud the man they wanted. There were, however, three man and one woman there, the latter one of the most depraved and vile creatures who ever uttered an oath. She swore ven geance on the officers and everyone else. The men were equally disagreeable. One of the men assaulted "Due" Ward and was arrested. Frauit levels was found in his two room house with his white "woman'' eat ing supper. He is rather well dressed and has more intelligence than some of his neighbors, lie toox his arrest calmly, even stoiiaiy. He denies having auy- tk ng to do with the murder, but ho looked worried when Burdge pumped a .co ifession out of the woman that she us d to have an apron made of the same j material as that ou the handle of the slug- shot found at the Matson residence last i evening. She said ohe had lost ttie i apron, A careful search of the house faded to produce it Two very suspi cious letters were found in the tiouse j however. One of them was to some friend in Texas, written about two weeks ago but not mailed, to the effect, "I haven't any money t-s Ji:n hasn't come yer, but when he com -is we have a j scheme by which we can gn some inotn-y. 1 will try and bo in Texas by C;: ri -t mas, oral b-ast by New Year's" f dUe grounds which first caused suspi cion to rest upon Neveis was that he had i trouble with Mrs. Maisoa regard. nj the I rent and he had threatened to kill her. It wouid appear that ttie man "Jim" named in tae letter, wnoover he is, mu it j be his accomplice, supposing of course that Nevels is guilty. The fact that Neis Bailey left last Aloud ty for Tennessee i a. ?o suspicious on the face of it, and would i-idicaioj tnat the officers in their raid last night on this hotbed of deprav ity had made an excellent guess. The sheriff of Montgomery county some time ago told Shr.if Burdge that Nevels whs aa all-round crook and lie would do well to watch him closely. Nevels was not taittaiive He never uttered a word except m monosyllables in response to questions. Sheriff Burdge and ex-sheriff dikerson set tueir ques tion pumps at work and succeeded in getting hun to contradict himself regard ing his past history. He is light in col or, almost a mulatto, and has a small mus'iiche, W hile the sheriff was putting Nevels through a rigid cros examination, the Journal reporter left the house and joined 'Doe" Ward and Dumont. One of the men in Bailey's hou?e had re turned and was showing signs of being .foublesoine. He was atlerwards found to be Joan Randolph, wtio, although white, is a leader of the coi- ganc which infests this locaiity. Randolp'h loid been drinking ami wanted to tiifht Ward. In physical stature he had ard bested. He uousud him with every epithet at his disposal, and finally Ward lost patience ami said: "See here, I don't want to have any trouble with you. Get out of here right now, if you don't want to get smashed." "Smashed, did you say? you," and with that he drew a knife from his pocket with a blade about six inches long, and advauced towards Ward. In an instant "Doc" had his revolver out and pointed squarely at Randolph's breast. "Stop where you are," Doc said, "or I'll shoot sure as The sight of the revolver did not have the slightest effect on Randolph. He continued to advance, and wueu he got within reach. Ward struck him over the head with his revolver. It did not cause him to fall, although he suiuned about lik3 a top. When ha regained his bal ance he made a second rush towards Ward, who again struck him over the head, inflicting a wound that bled pro fusely. At this juncture, Dumont, who was un armed, borrowed the Journal reporter's revolver and took a hand in the melee. He compebed the man to hold his haud3 up high, and marched him that way to the county jail. Dumont made the arrest for no other purpose than for finding out what Ran dolph knew regarding the murder. He learned from hi in that Bailey skipped to Chat tauooga, 'letm., lat Monday, and Dumont thinks he got some other valu able clues. The charge of assault will be used as a 1-ver to compel him to teli what he know?. The circumstantial evidence against Nevels is strung enough to warrant his being held. The police are looking for Mrs. Mat son's gold watch among the pawn-shops und other places in Tope k a wh -re it would be likely to bo disposed of. Be sides the watch Mrs. Matson usually wore a large old-fashioned gold chain about her nec-K, as shown in tue picture printed in the Journal yesteraay.

THE CORONER S INQUEST. Interesting Ietaiia Concerning Mrs. Matson's Iifo Are itbi-Ut-iteti. The examination of witnesses in the hearing before the coroner's jurv in the ilatsou murder case," began at 9 o'clock this morning. The first witness called this morning was I). viscomb, who with his wife lived in two of the rooms of the Matson home from June 22 to Oe'ober 13 W iscotn'u testiiied that he knew of no seri-ius 'trouble she had had with anyone and site seemed to think a good deal of her husband. At one time she seat him a suit of clothes. Q Do you know if she kept any moaev about the house? A No. Q Did you know much about her hab ts of life? A Very little. She was a peculiar woman and was not very sociable. Q Do you know if she had any ene m id if A I do not The colored people there didn't seem to like her. They used to stand about and hang on her picket fence and talk and she used to go out and-drive them awa Sometimes there would be quarrels about it, but nothing very serious. One time the bail as she came along the street near her home, and the ball rolled near her. It might have hit her. She was angry about it. I think, for she picked the ball up and carried it into the houso and kept it two or three weeks John Miller got a policeman to get the ball I think. 12 Ho you know anything about an ax she had? A I uever saw an ax there, but my wife said she saw one nearly new. tJ Did you knosv anything about her finances"' A No; she kept that very much to herself as she did most everything eNe. O, Did you ever kuow that she was afraid of any one? A I never thought she was. She talae l some about John Miller and hated to Have h.m about the house. She said he had talaed mean to her about ttie ball but .1 don't think she was afraid of him. Miss Sue R. Lovell was called next. Miss Lovell is tha teacher at Clay school who knew .Mrs. Ma.son for eight years and was quite intimate wdth tier. Sue saw her last on Thanksgiving D ty. Q Did you know anything about her affairs or will? A No, sir. D.d she ever have any trouble with a i i one that, you know of? A. No, Sir. C,) Did she have any fears of any OIH-? A I think She never did She was iu the habit of going out a great deal at night and staying sometimes till 11 o'ciock, and going home alone. She did that Thanksgiving evening at our house. A pair of spectacles were found in the house, on a window sill, that might have been worn by a man. The ques tion was asked: "Do you know whaisort of spectacles she usually wore?" A I am not sure, but I think they were common nose glasses. I don't know much about her jewelry except that siie wore a gold watcu with a long chain about her neck. Do you know anything about her money affairs? A Not. much. She was very reticent about that. I understood lrom her, though, that she was inconsiderable dis tress iu regard to not hav ng all the money she wanted She seut money to her husband. Q Do you know anything about her having trouble with her tenants or hus band? A Only with one that could be any way serious, and that was a tenant at Sainton and happened two years ago. I didn't know of any trouble with her hus band. .Uiss II. Ii Lovell was next called, and in answer to questious said: "I was not intimately acquainted wtth her, but am sure she wore uose glasses. ne had a watch and long chain, but I don't know about it. I remember that she had an ax that she broae coai with once when 1 was there, but I do not know vshat sort of au ax it was. tone had no weapons in the house that I know of." Mrs Rstes is the colored woman who livt-d in one of Mrs. Matson's houses and did work for her iu cleauiug up her tenant houses. She had been at M rs. .Watson's home often, but did not know much about her personally. Mrs. Kstes testified: "I don't know of any serious trouble that Mrs. Matson had with anyone. She sometimes had trouble in collecting her rents but nothing very serious mat I know of. I saw her last two weeks ago Thursday at h- r home. My husband worked for her some, lie rented some of her laud for a garden on shares and sometimes did work about the house. I never heard that she had any trouble with people. Never heard of any trouble with John l iller." .Mrs Dunbar lives at Fourteenth and Quincy streets. She testified: "i knew Mrs. Matson but have not been at her home since last summer in October, I think. 1 pastured my horse in her yard and she said she would take a r.de ith me occasionally in payment for tt She did not talk much about her self and I never heard of any trouble or fear she had 1 did not know she had an enemy on earth. She sometimes talked about her tenants and said she lived alone because she preferred to." K. J. Yanseiver saw her at the house and saw her go in the east door on the evening of Tuesday, December 11, at live o'ciock and didn't see her at the house nex day at all. Never heard of any Trouble. Will Rabertson, the colored man who lives across the street testified: "I knew nothing about trouble Mrs. Mat-sou may ha'e had in regard to her property. I had done work at the house. She had had some personal trouble with John Miller. He had bonowed a dollar of her once and not paid it back when he wanted to borrow another dollar. She said he was a rascal. 1 never heard any threats Miller made against her. I knew nothing about the ax." W. C. Gil pat rick, who had known Mrs. Matson and her husband for twenty years, was called to the stand next. Q Do you know whether Mrs. Matson had a will or not? A I do not personally, but I heard from good authority that she had, and that she had tod her husband before he went to California, that she intended to leave her half of the property to her rel atives. (J Did you ever know of any trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Matson? A I heard once that he talked of get ting a divorce lrom her, and gave as his reason that she "was getting too old" Q Did she have any life insurance? A d don't know. C Did you ever know of her having trouble wi'h anyone? A No serious trouble. Mr. Gilp-itrick thn retold the story of meeting Matson in California wheeling a baby carriage, as it was told in yester day's Journal Miss Tiny Gipatrick then took the Stand. Q Do you know whether or not Mrs. Matson made a will? A Yea, sir; I saw it four years ago. Q How did it divide the property? A She gave her share of all the prop erty to her sister in Michigan. Q ouhl you find this will now? A I don't know. It was kept in a tin box with other valuable papers in the secretary, and I saw the box once 1 t summer. Q Ha I she any life insurance? A I think she had life insurance of perhaps $l,0UO, though I am cot, sun-, and if she had, I thiriK it was made pay able to her husbat.il Sno kept her money in the Knox bank at one time, but I don't know that she had a batik ac count at. the time of her death. Did you ever know of any other trouble that she had when ttir one i.. i i i threats to her? A Yes, air. When Rev. Dr. r was here about ten years ago, Mr. Mat son got a j .o-it loti somewhere in 1 1, a Southern part of the state and went there. His wife went with him. At Dr. Ueorge's suggestion they left the family clinn, silverware and linen at his house stored away. When the Matsoiis returned they found George was using them. .Mrs. Mat son was angry about it and had a quarrel with George, who told her he would kilt her iu i her husband too. Did you ever hear that she had any trouble with or fear of anybody? A I never did l haries MeMdlau, the constable, was I next called to the stand. He is probably i the last person that saw .Mrs. Matson alive. Q -When did you see 31 rs. Matson last? A A week ago last Wednesday even ing about 8;t!i- o'cloca. t-l Where was she? Tell about it. A I was going homo to supper and passed south on .Monroe street. The cur tain to her north window was about two thirds up and I could plainly see two men and Mrs. Matson talking in the (lin ing room. A lamp was burning brightly and seemed to bo on tho organ. Mrs. Matsou stood between the two men and seemed to bo talking to the taller one. He was about tivo feet mill eleven inches tali. 1 could not see above his chin for tho curiam. He wore no beard. The other man was some shorter, l hey were both of medium build. There was nothing unu.iii.il about the bfoui) and I went on by. I think M rs. Matson smiled at the man she was talking to. This concluded tho testimony for to day, and tho jury will examine some more witnesses ou Monday morning at U o'clock. tN'o I'hoto'jrHpiis Io,si!-ie.

WIL LN OT A Ii Uot V I T. Declines to Permit an Inquiry lata tho Armenian Outrages. Washington', Dec. 22. The latest advices from United States Minister Terrell at Constantinople to the ttate department indicate that the Porte is still lirm in its opposition to the in quiry proposed to be made into the Armenian outrages by United States Consul Jewett under the conditions prescribed by the president. If Mr. Jewett persists in undertaking the inquiry in spite of the refusal of the Porte to sanction iiis mission, he will do so at great personal risk, it would be exlrems-ly unsafe for him to venture into the disturbed corn'ry without an armed escort, and the I'orte seemed disinclined to furn ish such an escort, even though re quested to do so by Mr. Terrell, speaking for the president. It is probable that tlie United States min ister will persist in his efforts to in duce the Porte to accede to this re quest, and if it should be finally re fused, Mr. Jewett will still under take the inquiry with which he is charged and the Turkish government will oe held responsible for his safety, for the state department can not con cede the right of a foreign nation to prevent its odicers from collecting in formation for its own use and guid ance. iJefTVr.ion I'risou ISri.iue.

The Entire Xew York Tolice Force is Iiotten. 3IEKCEXAIIY MOTIVES. These Alone Actuated Oflicers in Their Actions. New York, Dec. 22. Maximilian O. Pchmittberger, captain of police arid now in command of the Tenderloin district, made a confession before the Lexow committee yesterday to the e fleet that the entire police system of New York City, with the exception of Superintendent Byrnes and a few others, was rotten to the core; that blackmail and bribery, extortion and corruption were common crimes in the department and that mercenary methods alone actuated his fellow officers. His charges implicated In spectors Williams and McAvoy, ex Inspector Steers, Police Comirslssioners James B. Martin and John C. Sheehau, Captains Price, Gastliti and Martens, ex-Captain John Gunnerand Wardmet Duniap, Robert Vail and James Can non. Without question it was the most important day in the history of the Lexow committee. Sehmittbergor'a confession is prolific of not oniy sen sation, but of evidence which con firms and verities what have been iier.-tofore considered the most ex aggcrated cases of police and official corruption. It deals with more in dividual cases; it .shows the criminality that nas prevailed in the police de partment. Captain Schmittberger is under in dictment for bribery. He had pre viously refused to testify before tho senate committee. Yesterday he took advantage of an oiler of immunity from punishment held out to him by Counsel Golf and agreed to make a clean breast of it. The pillars of the church are fallen,"' sa it he on the wit ness stand, and 1 deem it due my conscience, my wife and my children, to tell what I know." Meanwhile dark circles crept under his eyes, his face assumed a sickly pallor, an air of utter weariness and dejection pos sessed him. and he appeared, as he was, in extreme mental torture and agony. But no spirit of sympathy moved the throng of spectators. Sneers and sarcastic laughter instead answered the acknowledgment of his weariness when at last Counsel Golf permitted him to vacate the wit ness stand. The city is not turbulent with ex citement, as it was just a week ago, on the occasion of Captain Creedeu's confession. Instead, an atmosphere of suppressed indignation prevails. In otllcial circles no attempt is made in contradiction or derogation of Captain Schmittberger's allegations. and everywhere is heard the comment: "It con id not have been worse; it must end." Senator O'Connor denied that he had asserted as has been alleged, that Mr. GofT had bulldozed and intim idated witnesses before the Lexow committee. In speaking of the pro posed continuation of the commission, O'Connor said: "The police depart ment is rotten to the very foundation and should be the last to oppose an investigation. That there i.- some discord between Counsel Golf and tho committeee. however, is a conceded fact; and this dissension is over the question as to why Superintend ent B rnes and other ohieeis have not been called to testify is not iK-ii-ed. It is also belle vt-d that a misunderstandmg exists between Dr. I'arkhurst and Mr. Gort" with relation to the propriety of summoning Super intendent Byrnes. With reference to this matter Counsel Golf's assistant, M r. Jerome, said that, it was one thing to put a man in the witness chair and another to get suf!icient proof against h in to attain any tfood res cits.' He thought, however, that Superintendent Byrnes and Commis sioner Martin would be called next w e e k. Until you have tried Dr. Price's Cream Laking Powder you will never know how good it really is. Coney nI Browne to He Heri. Washington, Dec. 22. Messrs, Coxey and Browne, who made such a stir last summer, were at the capitol yesterday to resume efforts in behalf of the Coxey bills, one for "good roads" and the other for "non-interest bearing bonds." An arrangement was made by Representative Bryan of Nebraska, chairman of the ways and means sub-committee, to w..orn the bills were leferred to give Coxey and Browne a hearing about January 1.3. In the meantime they will go to St. Louis to attend a national gather ing of Populists December 23 and 2y. late of tha Canal Milt. Washington, Dec. 22. The fate of the Nicaragua canal bill which the Democrats, on the assembling of con gress, believed they would be able ta pass through both houses, is in very trreat doubt. It is not thought that the measure has grown in strength by tlie discussion in the senate and doubt is expressed of its being per mitted to come to a vote.

Whoa they were preseuted to the council, Councilman Fellows moved to defer action until the next regular meet ing, but the records of the city clerk fchow that the postponement only re ferred to the approval of tho minutes. Councilman Feiiows called the matter up last night with a motion to pass the resolution over the mayor's veto. 'Tae motion ia out of order," replied the mavor.

The clerk was then instructed to read the minutes. When the point where the resolution would have appoared was reached. Councilman Fcao-As moved that the minutes be amended to include the resolution. 'That, motion is not in order," replied the mayor. "Xo action was taken on the veto then and now it is too lto." Councilman Fellows "I myself moved to defer action oa the veto." The iii iyor "I think you are mis taken. The clerk may read the record." The city c lerk then rea l the record, which howed that Councilman Fellows' motion was only to suspend action on the minutes. Councilman Fellows "That is a mis take, i knew what kind of a motion I made. Anyhow I do not believe the mavor has a right to veto a resolution." 1 ha Mayor "I surely have." Councilman Filows "I would like to know wnit kind of a motion you will entertain." The iiavnr "I am not here to instruct tho com -"11 on that point." Councilman Fellows then renewed his motion to include the resolution in the minutes, and was ruled out of order. Councilman ilolmaa "I appeal from the decision."' The Mayor "You are out of order. You cannot do indirectly what you can not do directly." Councilman Holman "I can surely app -ai." The Mayor "You did not act on tha veto w hen it was presented and now can not" Councilman Braifori "1 will show the gentleman (Mr. Feiiows) what kind of a predicament he is in." Councilman Fellows "I am not in a pre-d.cam.eut." Councilman Bradford "Yes you are. Xo action was taken on the mayor's veto when it was presented and the approval of the minutes was postpone.!.

Say tlin Inferior Ofiirers at tiie f v -ite.'iti.ry are"Huii-," "luokcii llon n folitiral Heelers." Ktc. Word haa reached Topeka from Leav enworth to the eiTect that Warden Dick Chase of the state penitentiary and his associate officers, are on the war path and Chief Clerk Walter I Holcomb of the state labor bureau, is their intended v ictim. The trouble is that the report of the labor bureau on "Contract Convict Labor aud Prison Reform," which was issued about two weeks ago, contains many statements which are anything but com plimentary to tiie penitentiary oflicials. Thi report was prep red bv Chief I e r it Holcomb of the Labor Bureau who was at one time an otlieer iu the penitentiary and has been hiirnly com plimented by prison otlicials of other slate. The part of the report which is espe cially distasteful to Warden Chare and his ass ociates is found on pages 0-5 arid 1'J of the report. That on page o 3 read?: "When not at work, tiie convict is I jcked in his 4x5 ceii, except at meal t.nie, when tiie whole body ol prisoners is marched to tiie dining hali. and on utid.iy, when at chapel serv.ee, usually a lotig, tiresome disquisition, void of me. m in ir, principle. Christianity or com Lion sense, in addition to listening to which, as an instance of record, the con victs are asked to contribute of their ii cents a day earnings to the support of an organist, which should be the duty of ttato to furnish." Chaplain Bribes especially objected to this part of the report, but all tiie onicers i 1 the institution are mad because of the report on page which rea Is: "We pause to inquire: W h at man uer of nen are these autocrats whom the state Las intrusted with t.'ie absolute power over the minds, bodies and souls of tiie I.-n fortunate convicts? The a..vver i.i discouraging. The superior oflicers. warden, directors, etc., are generaiir busi ness men or politicians, of no particular culture, not distinguished for any great abdities, totally ignorant of everything pertaining to the manage ment of a prison, with just enough of conservatism not to change any existing rules ana regulations, and enough of vanity to wish to leave some additions to tho co le as a monument of their own wisi administration. Tiie con sequence is that a rule is never abrogat ed, the same rules which some poor old warden, in the first Hush and pride of feeling at finding himielf in the position of an absolute monarch, t ired his inge nuity to frani", are stdl in force; every succeeding administration has added .-omeihmg from its own wisdom uti.il, like the chancery laws of England, the code has become so complicate 1 that only an expert, whwther convict or 01B cer. can t, hope to become familiar with it. "As to the inferior oilicer-s, truth com pels us to say that, for tiie most part, that they are a sorry lot, broken down political heelers, ward burns, old relics of former poiiucal splendor, young fel lows with no higher ambition than to be called "iough," with a few exceptions uneducated, some scarcely able to real and write; puffed up with pride, what ever of pood may be in their composition is soon eliminated by the system, anl all 'clothed with a little brief authority,' in the unrestrained exereiss of which they become absolutely tyrannous." The report has been highly spoken of among outside people interested in prison reform, but when one hundred copies were sent to Warden Chase at Lansing for distribution, a row was raised. The warden and his deputy after hav iDe: read the report aa l its reflection on ihem and their intitution, gattiered up all the copies sent tham aud burned -hem. They then sent word to the labor com missioner that they wanted him to de stroy and suppress the entire report, as t reflects on the administration and it ,vould never da to let it get out A few days after the reports had been -eceived at the penitentiary, Mr. Hol eomb, th man who prepared tbe dis asteful publication, visited Laneiusr and Warden Chase and several otber officers of the institution made threats of vio lence aerainst him. Holcomb was badly frightened and took the first train for Topka. Y'esterday Chaplain Briggs wrote a letter to Holcomb in w hich be demanded that the report be suppressed. It ia however too late to do any sup pressing if the Labor Commissioner and t ,n C is A s ing- der, which was greatly in excess of all others and more than 40 per cent, above the average. 5 ss Hence Royal Baking Powder makes the lightest, sweetest and most wholesome food. ROYAL E AKINQ POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW his assistants were inclined to favor th warden, which they are not When this report whs published, 1,000 copies were printed, and about 500 copies have been distributed, so that it would be impossible to totally suppress the re port. LOUDK1.I, l-OK. KI'EAKEK, Tiie Western Half of 1 b State is Solid for llini, it is said. The very latest story in 6tate political circles is that Charles E. Lobdell of Lane county, is to be elected speaker of the bouse without oftposition. Captain John Seaton who has been grooming Col. Alexander Warner of lierokee county, as a candidate for speaker, was in Topeka yesterday and before he left for home last night, it is said, wrote a letter to Col. Warner, in forming him that he had seen the hand writing- on the wall aud it said "Lobdell will be speaker." According to the men who say they know about th is affair. Captain Seatou loured it out that "the entire western half of the slate is solid for Lobdell, and he is making gains every day in the eastern half. "J. 1C Cubbison is a candidate, but aside from the members from Wyandotte county, no one has appeared at the Copeland ready to make a light for him. "S. S. Benedict is a candidate and has the Neosho county delegation, but he has not developed much btrength in other parts of the state. "J. V. Beekm -.n of Cowley county is a candidate, but Ed Greer's candiuacy for speaker has interfered with his inter est." After having considered all these points Captain Seaton is said to have written to Colonel Warner aud advised him to get oil the truck before ho is run over. The prediction is freely made that if the Republican members of the lower iioiiso were to caucus on speaker o'nor row, C. E. Lobdell would be selected on the brst ballot.

I The woman who has a sealskin saeque is blue she can't wear it; the woman who persuaded her husband to give her 1 one lor Christmas is bluer, while her husband is of the opinion that she blew him, all to no purpose. There are several Browning circles in j the city, aud another which iuteuds to uj more real studying than all the oth ers is on the tapis. New Year's receiving parties are be ing made up early, as every lady wants the popular girls. The ladies who will receive on New Year's day are thinking of wearing last summer's picnic dresses and calling it a "lawn party" instead of "keeping opeu house." Apropos of what people wear, a young lady visitor in the select set is said to wear the smartest gowns to be seen in the city. As usual, the girls, who are at home all season, are quite prepared to be entirely eclipsed by the young miss home from college for the holidays. This variety of social queen belongs to the same species as does the summer girl, and smiles with the same undisputed sway in her own particular season. A Topeka woman was seen on the street, yesterday carrying a parasol. Boxes of Christmas donations are being sent awaj- to the boys and girls who will not be at home. In the left hand corner of infor mal evening '"at home" invitations are the words "masted marshmallovvs." uu such occasions the hostess provides a number of spits, whittled out of wood, about the size of a lead pencil and a lit tle longer. These are ornamented with a bow of ribbon, merely for decorative purposes, and each used to stick through a marsh-mallow aud hold it over the grate tire till it is toasted .a delicious brown.

I jf" s- X' X""' giving a short history oT th origin of this now celebrated spectacular drama, and a graphic description of its home, the lecturer proceeded to describe with a minuteness of detail both interest ing and remarkable, the play itself. Act by act and scene by scene the story of the divine tragedy as portrayed at this little German village every ten yexra, was repeated. Much interest was a l Jed to the lecture by the stereopticon pictures accompanying it, which illustrated not onlv the principal scenes and tableaux, but" included portraits of the actor?, s they appear on the stage. The tableaux are all modeled after the world's great est paintings of the scenes which they are intended to reproduce. This part of the entertainment was conducted by Prof. li. II. Biker, whoso work in this line is too well known to Topeka peoplo to need comment The lecturer lias a very pleasing address, ami evinced a fa miliarity with her subject which can only come from a deep interest in i, m:d her work. The next thing lo hearing Mrs. IFiker and seeing the pictures ac companying her lecture, is to see the Passion Play itself. Many expressions I of approval were heard from the au dience.

JUL. a. l-mf a 1. f It AT THE WHITE HOUSE PREPARATIONS FOR THE USUAL NEW YEAR'S RECEPTION. Why the Prf sitleiitial 1111 ily I So K-c-loslve IroUability of a Cold Shake At the Various Legation Thing's Visible Ia tho Distance. Special Correspondence. J Washington, Dec. 20. Already the capital ia buzzing with the preliminary gayeties of the holidays and the White House is being decorated, or, as the local Wits say, put in a state of siege for the annual midwinter f auctions, of which the greatest will be the various recep tions ou New Year's day. Washington dees not prepare or celebrate like any other great city in the nation. It is too far south for winter gayetiea and yet net far enough for truly southern do ings, and, mora than all, the ceaseless changes in its population have prevent ed tiie formation of any distinctively individual character as a city. So many currents are pouring in from all direc tions that, like the waters of the lower Mis,i.ss,ipx3i, the product of thousands of variously mineralized streams, tiie ro eait is a perfectly neutral solution. One does not see the store windows marvel ously illustrated with winter landscape s at;d adorned with rich displays, as in New York and Brooklyn. There is no very great array of Christmas ever greens, much less the snow men and ice palaces which delight the youths of the north. The chances are two to one that there will be tileet or rain, the Po tomac water which we have to drink is sure to be muddy, and if some of the lower streets are not flooded we shall be in luck. Washington Castes. The president and lady, however, are on their best behavior. Each foreign le gation observes Christmas after the cus tom of its own land, society ladies re ceive on New Year's day, ami, as to tur key, that goes without saying. It ia really after New Year's that society does its prettiest, and the various grades cross and recross in a way that only a nation al McAllister could describe. Washing ton is by a sort of political fiction set dcwn as a very democratic city. Of a truth there are here as many castes as in Hindoostan, and the odd feature of it is that the president is iu theory of so cial law at the head of all of them. There is more discussion about the char acter and talent of Mr. Cleveland right now in fact, more heated differences of opinion than there ever has been since his political career began, but on oiio point all parties and castes in Wash ington are unanimous that this is tha most exclusive presidential family that ever occupied the White House. In Mr. Cleveland's first administra tion there was more social freedom, but Mrs. Cleveland took on a huge disgust at the publication of family details, and the reaction has carried them to an ex treme. The natural result is "talk," and among the many mean things said the meanest is that one of tho children is mentally and physically weak. The story is false, both children being quite bright and healthy; but, like that cruel story which everybody has heard about the poet Longfellow's daughter, once fairly started, it seems impossible to get the belief out of the local public mind. Franklin Pierce was the last presi dent who habitually walked about the busy sections of the city and accosted acquaintances like a private gentleman. His successor, both from age anrl natu ral disposition, was of very retired hib its, and what might have followed we can only conjecture, for the war and Lincoln's murder put an end to presi dential freedom forever. General Grant and General Harrison occasionally walk- -tn !i 1 l sJL J IJi JLt THE PRESIDENT'S BEDP.OOM. i ed through the streets, but seldom or 5 never in tho crowded portions. It is no longer a secret that Mr. Cleveland has a great dread of assassination, and as of our 33 presidents two have been murdered, and the life of another was twice attempted, his many precautions are not unreasonable. Two assassina tions and two attemj ts within 105 years make as big an average in that line as was made on the kings of France or England. A Lively Iiitlu.try. As to the tolerably permanent Four Hundred of the capital, the foreign dip lomats and army and navy officers are ccnfessedly at the head of it. As the nature of our government requires that everything should be openly discussed, and president and cabinet can negotiate ne.thing without being called on to send the papers to congress, there is little or no chance for a diplomat to distingcish himself here as he might in the courts cf Europe, where secrecy is in order. There is, however, overabundant op portunity for social distinction anrl se curing wealthy brides. And that indus try has by no means been neglected. D vy Crockett used to say that in Wash ington the hour at which a man dined was the exponent of his rank thus: "Members dine at 6, senators at 7, cab inet officers at 8 and the president on the next day." It is aLso related of the second Adams that his Y'ankee home routine was so broken up that he got three.days behind and tock his "b'iled dinner" on Tuesday and his baked beans on Wednesday. But this is a digres sion. Let ns to business This year the president has decided to wholesale the job, and various recep tions which hve heretofore had a day Vim i S each are to be crowded into one, and a rather short one at that. Here is the programme of how they will be receiv ed on New Year's day: Vice president, cabinet and diplomatic corps at 1 1 a. rn. supreme court and all other judges in the city at 11:15; senators, repre sentatives and ex-officials at 11:25; ar my, navy and marine corps at 11:40; scientific men at the head of various jdblic institutions and about 16 more sorts of eminent folks at 12; veterans of all wars and oldest inhabitants at 12:15, and at 12:25 tne great pmblio will be admitted and have the run till 2. Society is asking. "However will he do it? He will need a Bogardus kicker to keep them moving. Consider that from 2,000 to 4,000 will be in the gen eral throng, that each is entitled to a shake of the hand from the president and lady, and, as the first comers will insist upon it, it is evident that the last l .-tn it?:jz. i THE PRESIDENT'S TVOEEROOM. thousand or two will get a cold shaki. Last year four days and tolerably long days for official ceremony were given to these various classes, and to all, ex cept, of course, the general public, spe cial cards of invitation were issued. Master of Ceremonies. Of course the invited are not required on such occasions to present their cards at the door as if they were going to a circus show, and so there is some fraud and would be a great deal more and very embarrassing confusion were it not for the discerning eye of Colonel John N. Wilson, who manages things of that sort about the White House. He has had many acute preelecessors, but it is only in recent administrations that the office is regally official. The colonel is by commission in charge of publio buildings and grounds, but is practical ly the president's social aid-de-camp. He filled this position during the first Cleveland administration and did it so well that he was called from West Point to the same place in this administra tion. He is an army officer of great ex perience and during the interregnum was superintendent of the National Mil itary academy. He has a phenomenal memory of names and places and as in troducer is very rarely at a loss. After the season is thus formally opened there will be a succession of en tertainments at the various legations, anil the Austrian embassy expects to be unusually lively, as it will probably have for a guest the great Hungarian magnate, Count Alexander Hadik de Futak, who is not only the wealthiest of his class, but is supposed to be the coming man in Hungarian politics. As to the great mass of everyday folks, they can stand on the avenue and Lafayette square anel witness the oft described "stately march" of the diplomats, army and navy officers and judges going to see the president, and though they may not get near enough to shake his hand they can look at the famous east room, where Mrs. Abigail Adams used to hang out her washing, and where the mob a President Jackson's levee stood on the chairs with muddy boots and trod the famous big cheese into the carpet; at the blue room and the rd,room and the grand stairway, of which our society writers have said so much. And then, if the weather is as vile as it is three times out of four here, the Washington doctors will prepare for their annual harvest, with influenza prevalent, pneu monia imminent and worse things visi ble in the distance. J. IL Bkadul. REFORM THE CITIES. Must Govern Them If wa Would Kule th Country, Sayi I r. Marlyn. Chicago, Dec 22. lr. Carlos Martyn gave his views on municipal reform at the weekly meeting of the Single-Tax club last night, 'ihe speaker said a fea ture of the political and moral situation was the abnormal growth of cities. Continuing, he said: "The cities gov ern the country. Yt, by our own con fession, we cannot govern the cities. The question of municipal reform is the ques tion of the survival of Republican insti tutions. Life in Chicago is a hippodrome. We are tearing along, absorbed in busi ness, and have given our city over into the hands of 500 professional politicians. Hut the situation has become intoleraMa What ia needed is a non-partisan admin istration on a civil service reform baaia." Dr. Martyn said the conditions of municipal misrule were a hetrogeneous population, un-American habits, a con federation of vices, the spoils system and the political machine. In closing Dr. Martyn said: "Ihe preoccupation of our people has prevented them from giving the time nd attention nece-sary to reform these abuses. We can find an equalizer and common bond in civic patriotism. In saving our cities we shall save the coun try and perpetuate free government." TO TEST THE INC03IE TAX.

Chairman Breidenthal opened his he irt when the editor of the Kagie Optio asked him what he thought of Senator John Martin and Editor J. B. Chapman, he said "They are fools. I don't see now Chapman holds hi9 paper (The Topeka Press) up. As for Martin, he is a tyrant to those under him and the Democrats I believe say he is a traitor.
