HE IS CAUGHT All D OWNS UP He Procured the Girl for Adoption, but Brought Her Into the \Voods and Strangled and Stripped Her and Then Tried to Hide ins Crime. DIMONDALE, Mich, Feb. 4.—The pretty young girl who was found dead, stark naked, in Grand River last Friday night, and whose face has ,since been viewed by hundreds of curious people, turns outta be a ward of the state public school at Goldwater. The story of how she was ob- t-ained by a gray haired old man, whose subsequent. movements with her are now nearly all clearly known, and who was taken into custody Tuesday, reads like chapters from an ultra-sensational novel and shows him guilty of her murder and possessed of'a mind absolutely and incom- prehensibly fiendish. On last \Vednesday a thin faced, gray haired and bearded man about fifty years old, with the appearance of'a farmer, called at the state inblic school at Goldwater and asked C. F. N ewkirk for a young girl for adoption. He gave his name as E. Hendershot, of Parma, Jackson county, and said he had a wife and two children at home. He Gets the Child. Superintendent N ewkirk was not favor- ably impressed with his appearance, and immediately ordered Edward Naylor, coulr ‘ ty agent, Jackson county, to investigate Hendershot’s story and wire him reason why the child should not go. On receiving no answer from Taylor, Hendershot’s subsequent statements ap—_ pearing reasonable, Nelly Griffin, 12 years old, a girl who had been a pupil in the school for three years, was regularly adopt- ed by the old man and the two left school together last \Vednesday night. When the superintendent heard of the murder at Dimondale he secured a description of the victim. lt tallied so well with that of his late ward that he went to Dimondale and identified the body. The Villain Caught. As soon as the girl was identified Super- intendent Newkirk gave a detailed descrip— tion of the man who adopted her, and of- ficers started out to find him. Detective Bates, of Lansing, immediately sought Conductor Shipman and Brakeman Moul- ton, of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad, who were in charge of a train which came north from J onesville last Thursday night, and from which an old man and a girl were seen to alight here later in the evening. The hunt for the man was finally successful. He 'as found at the home of C. S. Harrison, for whom 'he has worked as a farm hand for two years. XVhen arrested he stoutly denied the crime, and said he knew nothing of it. He admitted, however, that he went to Jones- ville on Tuesday and returned on ‘Vednes— day. \Vhen seen subsequently by Super- intendent Newkirk he was positively iden- tified as the man who took the girl from the school. Confessed His Brutishness. He is now locked up in Charlotte jail. His real name proves to be H. C. Canfield. He is 51 years old, and separated from his wife several years ago in Barry county, whence he came to work for Harrison. In jail Canfield broke down and confessed the crime. He said that he had but one object in l procuring the girl from the state school. He led her to Diamondale and into woods, _ and when she cried he threw her down and g strangled her to death. clothes under a barn. He threw the body into the river a short distance from the place where. found. He says he can give no reason for killing her, save that he must have been insane.

Music at the \Vorld’s Fair. CHICAGO, Feb. 41—Mr. \Villiam Stein- way, of New York, is opposed to placing the \Vorld’s fair music hall on the Lake Front. He fears that the hundred or more trains passing daily would utterly , defeat the high purpose that the hall is ex— pected to serve. He made known this opinion yesterday to the buildings and grounds committee. He urged further that to make the music a great attraction Rubinstein or some other equally famous musician from Europe should be secured as conductor, and should take up his resi- dence in this country for at least a year. liIeissonier’s Funeral.

Her Physician Fearful That Her Illness . May Prove Very Serious. BRISTOL, England, Feb. 4.-_—The illness of Adelina Patti, which it was almost certain might lead to a cancelatiOn of her Berlin engagement in concert, but which, it was ' thought, would H turn out to be ., merely a tempo— .‘ rary cold which 6; disabled her voice fer a time, has taken a very seri- ous turn.

Three Young Mien Arrested After Steal- ing $10,000 “forth of Jewelry. CHICAGO, Feb. 4.~Three Engmark broth- ers, the oldest not yet 23 years of age, have been arrested for systematically robbing two wholesale jewelry houses of thousands of dollars’ worth of diamonds,watches, etc. The "young men are respectably connected, and their arrest created somewhat of a sen- sation among their friends. Their plan was very simple. The two younger brothers,” E. J. and E. C. Engmark, were employed in two different wholesale jewelry houses. “Then filling orders they would slip goods into their pockets. The plunder would be turned over- to the elder brother, George, who disposed of it to tradesmen in different divisions of the city. . . The customers have never. suspected the goods were stolen, as Engmark sold them close to the regular figure.' The propri~ etors of the jewelry houses have for some time noticed the mysterious disap— pearance of goods, and detectives were working on the case. Suspicion was final- ly directed toward one of the Engmark boys, who, when asked the time by his em- ployer, pulled from his pocket 3. new watch which he hurriedly slipped back. The gentleman said nothing, but noti- fied the detectives, who watched the brothers, and arrested George as he was leaving the house to dispose of the accu- mulations of last week to dealers. He told the story to the officers, and the other boys were soon In the station. The aggre- gate of their stealings is thought to be at least $10,000. Charged with Crookedness.

A TRADE IS ON THE CARPET. A Report That the Republicans Are “’illing to Exchange at Constitu- tional Convention for a Gov- ernor or an Inquiry. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 3.-—Tuesday, at 1 o’clock p. m., is the time fixed for a vote in the house at Hartford on the pas- sage of the resolution asking the senate to join the house in making a fresh inquiry as to the vote cast for state officers. While there are rumors that the house Republi- cans may not vote solidly for the resolu- tion, their unanimity thus far does not sustain any such idea. There are two re wan-ts as to the way the senate will receive the proposition. One report is that the senate, While rejecting it, will append a statement pointing out the impossibility of making any inquiry of the large scope suggested, and also citing the present broil as evidence that the only wise course is for the legislature to stand on the face of the returns. The other re port is that the senate will reject the prop- osition curtly without any statement or prolonged debate. Democratic authority here of a high character could be quoted to sustain the latter assertion. A Trade on the Carpet. After the resolution is rejected by the senate it seems to be generally conceded that the house will be forced to declare the” election of Staub as comptroller. Many Republicans, and at least two of the Re- publican state papers, say that he must be given his office. The action of the house on, the other Democratic minor Offices is much more doubtful. The report that some of the Republicans will try to trade a constitutional conven- tion for a governor, or for an inquiry, is partly confirmed, and Lynde Harrison is said to be the author of the plan. Obsta- cles to it, however, are the bad logic of such an arrangement, the time required for and uncertain 1’esults of an inquiry, and the difficulty of making timid repre sent-atives from the small towns accept it —a difficulty which is not confined to the Republican members. The last attempt to get a. constitutional convention in the state was in 1313. when ex-Governor Henry B. Harrison‘s scheme was voted down—110 to 69. Public senti- ment on the subject has, however, greatly. changed since then, and the existing dis- putc gives the movement considerable force. ' A Clouded Outlook. As a. whole the outlook now is not more favorable than it was last- week, when things at the Capitol were extended to reach a crisis which the long debate in the house has temporarily postponed. Anew rumor is that the house, in case the senate refuses to meet it, will seat Staub and adjourn sine die. This would necessarily cut off all appropriations after the 1st of next July, not mentioning the trouble that Staub himself can make as comptroller of the state finances. Fur Seals in lllyriads. SEATTLE, “721511., Feb. 3.—.lz:-l)leS G. | Swan, of Port Townsend, has obtained and published affidavits of numerous sealers ‘ that fur seals are born all along the coast, and that the pups can swim as soon as born. If this can be proven it is said it will change the whole Behring sea contro- versy, as it is claimed now that fur seals breed only on the Pribyloff islands, and that the species would be exterminated if the hunters were not excluded from the Behring sea. Judge Swan offers to prove the truth of his statement to congress or a federal commission. Fur seals were never so abundant at Cape Flatt-cry as now. They are found in myriads, and the In- dians are killing them by huntlreds.‘ A Newspaper Burned Out. I MONTGOMERY, Minn, Feb. 3.—Fire, orig- inating among some chemicals in the pho- tograph gallery of A. W'.

Y., Feb. 3.—A girl named Marks, aged 19, was chloroformed and nearly murdered in the town of Marcy last evening. She was at work in her father’s bakery when a man rushed in, threw a. chloroformed handkerchief over her face, cut her throat with a jackknife and fled. He left anote saying that the deed was done by “Jack the Ripper.” The girl final— ly came to and called for assistance. She thinks the assault was committed by a young man whom she met at'a dance in Utica, but Whose name she does not know. It is thought she will recover. As no at— tempt at outrage was made the motive for the crime is a mystery. “’ouldn’t Have the Reduction.

The Georgia-Alabama Investment & Development Company has inaugu- rated, and will conduct under its own management and auspices, a ten days excursion to Washington, D. C., Talla- poosa, Ga., and Birmingham, Ala. The train will leave Boston on the evening of Tuesday, February 1’2’, and New York lVednesday morning. It will be a special Pullman vestibule train, consisting of four sleeper coaches, one dining car, one parlor smoking car, with barber shop, bath rooms, library, etc., and run over the New York & New England, Pennsylva- nia, and Piedmont Air Line roads. This is the quickest, safest and most in- teresting route for the tourist. The trip will last ten days and all expenses will be settled by the company and cov— ered by 1575 from Boston and $70 from New York. The company has been led to offer this rare excursion because of receiving so many applications from people who desire to visit and inspect its properties, as an investment. The route will be by the N. Y. & N. E.,, Pennsylvania and Piedmont Air Line railroads, through the picturesque Piedmont region of the South, in sight of the great battlefields and by way of the national capitol. Ample opportunity will be afforded in Washington for the cxcursionists to inspect the city, visit Congress, etc., and for sight seeing in Atlanta, Bir- mingham, and Anniston. The train will be an exact counter- part of the New York and Chicago “Limited,” run on the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, and will be in charge of representatives of each of the three lines of roads over which the train will pass. The number of excursionists will be limited to one hundred, and applica— tions for sleeper accommodations will be booked in the order received. The special train will be the finest equipped and most magnificent that can be pro- cured in America, and it is intended to make the excursion one select in every particular, and no expense will be Spar-ed to make the trip a delightful one to all who shall accompany it. The rate for this excursion has been made at $375 per passenger, which in— cludes railroad fare, sleeping car, car- riage drives, meals, and every expense for the entire trip. Tickets will be is- sued to the excursionists on leaving Boston, with proper coupons entitling them to all expense during the ten days. The rate from New York city will be $51ess than from Boston, or $7 , and passengers can join excursion at any of the points named in the itinerary. Those who desire to accompany this excursion should write or call at the Boston office of this company (of (inc-c, where diagrams are on file and sleep-. ing accommodations can be secured. As the number that can be accommo— dated on this trip is confined to one hundred, a deposit of $15 will be re- quired at the time of the application and the assignment of berths. The balance payable at the time of leaving Boston or New York when tickets with coupons attached, covering the entire expense of the trip, will be delivered to each of the excursionists. Ladies are especially invited, and a considerable number have already sig- nified their intention of going. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, president of the company, will accompany the excursion, it being his first'visit south of Richmond since the war, and many of the other officers and directors of the company will be among the num- ber. Hon. James W. Hyatt, Treasurer of the company, also expects to go. It is intended to make the excursion a. select and delightful one in every particular, and no pains or expense will be spared by the company to make it a trip long to be remembered by those who accompany it, and it will afford the best opportunity of the year for seeing the growth of the new South, in a way that will not be fatiguing, but a con- tinual round of pleasant surprises from time of leaving until the return, com- pleting a trip of nearly 4,000 miles through the heart of the New South in a palatial train, at an expense of 5237 per day, per passenger. Applications for sleeping accommo- dations should be made, enclosing $15, as soon as possible to the Boston office of the company, as the number will probably be filled in a very short time, and under the terms by which the spec- ial limited train is chartered, the num-' ber' must be confined strictly to one hundred.‘ ' GEORGIA-ALABAMA INVESTMENT A‘s DE- VELOPMENT 00., rooms 8 and 9 Globe Building, Boston, Mass. adv ff The \‘Vcstcrn Union Beaten.
