51m. N. Y.. may 31W, alum
barges. who killed, Katie Bupp at Snake
Bill. N. J., has ooufeued his crime. Bis
confession was a complete one and was
made to Chief of Police Dsgwell and Die
triot Attorney Klock.
When news- questionedastohie no
tive, he said: -
“Why, a me has curious ideas some-
times. I don’t now why it was. She had
followed me all over Rome, and I had tried
togetrid other. I had ousted togivcilll'
all her things back if she would break of!
with me. When I shot her, I fired two
shots in quick succession."
, It is evident that Alteabszger believed
the girl was dead when he left her, and
that when her body was found there would
be nothing to reveal her identity. In the
meantime he could come to Rome, get his
belongings and marry Katie Christ. The
latter is a pretty young woman, and it is
not unlikely that she has wen saved from
marriage with Altenberger by the expo-
sure of his crime. ,
Hie Confession.
In his confession Altenberger said: "I
first began to get money of Katie Rupp in
February, when I was out of work. There
was some talk between us about marry.
ing. ‘ The first time I got “0 or til of her.
I bought clothes with that money. I asked
her for this money first. I may have bor—'
rowed of her, all told, at different times
over 8100. I think the 15th or 20th of
March I promised torsturn her the money
I had borrowed. The money that I used
to go down to Elizabeth to see Christina
Vetter about Easter time was half bor-
rowed of Katie Itupp and half of Mr.
Barnikoi as wages. I got 815 of Katie
Rupp. I got 819 of Mr. Barnlkol.
“Four or five weeks ago Katie Rupp and
I made arrangements to go away with the
intention of getting married. Igave her
that idea. This was what we were to go
away for. I told her to leave home and
come to Utica on a train leaving .Rome at
8:28, and that I would meet here at Utica
on a train that fol lowed the same evening,
leaving Home at 10:” p. m. I told her to
come to Utica on a train an hour or two
ahead of me, so that people would not
know that I left Rome with her. The rea-
son I did not take my trunk was that I
told Katie that I would send for my trunk
later.
Katie Furnished the Money.
“On the day we left I got so from her.
She gave it to me between Albany and
New York. I bought my ticket at Home
directly to New York. Katie bought a
ticket from Rome to Film. Katie got her
trunk checked from l'iica toNew York. i
told her to. She watched for the train and
saw me in the car.’
“There was an understanding between
us that Hilf! was to buy a ticket from liome
to Utica, and that I was to go through on
another train, and she was to meet me in
liticaand go on the some train with me to
New York. We did not have a sleeper in
goingtoxew York. We did not stop in
New York, but went directly from New
York to Jersey City and went in a restau-
rant between 0 and 10 o'clock. I went
with the proprietor of the restaurant in
Jersey City and rented rooms for her for
eight days. Nothing was paid for the
rooms. Then we took a walk. This was at
half past to or ii o'clock. After we took
this walk we came back to another restau-
rlnt in Jersey City and i ad something to
noon (Sunday). ‘
“We got away from the railroad. and I
came to a stone quarry. From there I Went
to a house, where there was a colorrd fanr
ily livinl, and got a glass of water. Then
we walked around, and there was a house
that looked like a houpltai.
"Then we “cut around back of this
house that looked like a hospital and out .
down. Katie said she was tired. Then i '
walked away from her and looked around. ,
Then I walked upon a high mound. Tin-n
I said to Katie:
" ‘lf you want to go along, go.‘
“I wanted bei’io go in the hospital a hen
ahelsaid ahe was tired. I invited her to go
upon the rocks and two the beautiful now-
era, and she came along with me. We
were up there a good half hour.
”I told her that the Home people would ’
talk about rm- if I married a woman with
red hair. ’l'lu-n I told her flint I had
thought it over, and as she was a (‘athoiic
and l was a Protestant it would not work.
I had my revolver with me when we want
upon the rocks.
“After we had a little conversation I
stepped back, pulled my revolver and shot
her in the breast. I shot twice. After I
shot first she says, 'Oh, Ilernhard!‘ Then
I shot again. '
“Then i walked a few feet from her and
went back and took the Watch she had on
off of her. There was a little chain on it.
She had my watch and her chain, and]
had her watch and my chain. Alter that
I looked around and saw no one and ran
away. She was lying down. i thought
she was dead.
Intended to Kill Her.
"I intended to kill her. I left her and
went directly to Jersey City. I did not
want to marry her because ahewas a Cath~
oils and I a Protestant. I did not tell any
one that] had ahot this woman. I took
the watch away from her because it was
my watch, and I thought of it after I had
shot her, becauae if it was found on her it
would connect me with her.
"After I had shot her and left herl went
to a hotel in Jersey City. I bought the
ring now shown me in Elizabeth on Mon-
day, the 14th of May, 1894.
“I went to Elizabeth Monday forenoon,
and from there I went to New York. i
stayed there until 4 o’clock Tuesday after-
noon. I stayed in Elizabeth until “shill
Monday. I am guilty of shooting Katie
Rupp. She did not do anything to me. and
I shot her. The foregoing statement is
made of my own free will and accord, and
without the use of threats or without fear
or compulsion, and the same is a true nar
retire of my conduct and treatment of
Katie Rupp." '
Katie Illpp Dead.
3min Cm, May 17.-Miss Rupp’s con-
dition became so serious last night that
chief of Police Murphy was called to take
her mm statement. It was sub-
atentlaily the same as that made when she
was found in the woods on Hands . She w

of minerals noneererbeing settled y
then it was Tuesday morning, when the
conference of miners and operators was
begun. The conferenceccmmlttee of rain
era and operators held a joint meeting in
the chamber of commerce. The miners
submitted a demand, which was a restart
tion of the old rats.
The operators had oflered 65 cents for
Pennsylvania and 56 cents for Ohio. Pratt,
dent John McBride made a strong speech,
saying that the miners would never agree
to asettlemeut on that basis. The dale
gates assembled in Case hall awaiting
their report.
The joint committee remained in session
for several hours, when an adjournment
till this morning was taken. It was an.
nounced that no agreement had been
reached. The miners refused to needs
from their demand for a restoration of the
old rats, and the operators, in the absence
of instructions. could make no concessions.
The operators had another meeting last
evening to decide whether they would
make the miners another offer or give up
the attempt to settle the strike.
The operators met and received the re
port of their representatives on the joint
scale commitm, which was that no agree
ment could be reached with the miners on
the committee. The operators approved
their action in the committee and gave
them a vote of confidence. Therefore the
wage question was thrown back on the
general convention, which reconvened this
morning.
. Railroads Short of Coal.
Burmo, May 17.—~The only noticeable
change in the soft coal situation in Buffalo
is that the supply is shrinking visibly.
The Eric road is using hard coal altogeth-
er on its limomlill“$6.01le of lioruellsville
and on all pimacugcr trains throughout
the system. Superintendent lioasiter oi
the New York (Jr-rural road says the (Kern
tral road on that division is Well fixed with
soft coal, having ‘enough to last three
Weeks at least.
Mr. Roasiter says the road is practicing
economy, for the oiiiciala, like everybody
else, do not. know how long the strike may
last. They have trains loaded with coal at
Depew, Lyons, Suspension Bridge, Syra-
cuse and other places. More in Buffalo
the road has i5,UUi) tons of coal on the
ground.
Thv- Weatern New York and Pennsylva-
nia has not enough on hand to last over a
week. Very soon the road will begin no
lag hard coal in their engines. The Lake
Shore is in pretty fair shape, but the Nick.
cl Plate has not enough coal to last longer
than a week. Captain Brinkor of the firm
of Iinnkerdz Jones said that he had re
ceived advices from the Keystone Mining
company of Weatmoreland county, I’a..
that the Pennsylvania and the Allegheny
Valley railroads had confiscated about “if
cars of soft coal consigned to his firm.

I’l‘l‘i’r‘ili’lm. May 17.—-'l‘he coal famine
which has been threatening this city for
some time is now practically an established

of the railroad dealers have suspended
business entirely and are simply waiting
