' Let Go—Another Outrage Occurs.
BROOKLYN, Aug. 11.—The search for the
slayer of pretty Hannah Robinson, the
English servant girl, whose dead body
was found one week ago yesterday near
Glendale, L. I., is still being vigorously
prosecuted, but the detectives are very
much discouraged. They secured two men
yesterday who they were very confident
could throw some important light on the
mystery. These men were \Villia-m Kess-
ler, 8. Glendale mason, who worked'on the
girl’s body Was found, and John Maifart,
of 85 Waverley avenue, Brooklyn.
Both were taken' to Jamaica and sub-
jected to a. rigid examination by District
Attorney Fleming. Kessler declared that
he had neverseen the girl except at the
Ridgewood morgue, and gave so satisfac-
tory an account of himself that he was at
once released
Maffart’s examination, however, was
much more thorough, as there were many
reasons for suspecting that he was the
ther of her baby, the mysterious “George
Smith.” Mafiart is a blacksmith. So was
the father of 'Hannah Robinson’s child,
according to the register at the Brooklyn
Maternity hospital. The name “Smith”
is believed to be fictitious, as Hannah had
right name of her betrayer. .
Admitted He Knew Hannah.
the description of the. man seen with Han-
nah by Furniture Dealer Jacob Snyder on
the night' of her murder at 392 Grand
street, Brooklyn, and who left there with
her to accompany her to her friend’s, Mrs.
Steeng’s, on Scholes street.
Hannah did not go to Mrs. Steeng’s, but
was afterward seen near Ridgewood, on
Myrtle avenue, by William Lichter, and
later in the evening by Flagmau Murray
at the Myrtle avenue crossing of the Man-
hattan Beach railroad, just before they
passed Flagman William Henry Lake sev-
eral times at the Fresh Pond road cross-
mg.
Maflart admitted that he knew Hannah
Robinson, that he had met her about ten
months before she entered theMaternity
hospital, and that he had been her recog-
nized lover, but he denied positively that
he had seen Hannah for several months,
and so well satisfied with his story was
District Attorney Fleming that he, too,
was released after an examination lasting
over four hours.
and Constable'Brechter’s hopes dropped,
but they still had a'few clews left and set
to work again in an almost vain hope that
they would develop into something. These
clews are principally bits Of information
relating to other lovers of the girl. for
since her identification it has been devel-
veloped that she had many of them.
For this reason the district attorney,
Coroner Homeyer and the detectives' 1n the
case have a big dragnet out for any and
all men who knew Hannah or who may be
able to tell anything about her associa-
tions. _
Another Outrage.
The detectives were also puzzled Monday
.over the discovery that another st1 angler
das been at work over in Long Island
1ty, where fifteen- year-Old Mamie Ma,—
guire was found unconscious in a vacant
lot back of Mayor Gleason’s electric rail-
way power house. ,_
When she recovered consciousness she
said that a. large, powerful man had met
.nue. She started to show him, and in
about the middle of the lot the man threw
her down. Mamie is a strong girl for her
age and made a deeperate resistance, but
the man struck her in the face and choked
her into unconsciousness.
The manner- in which the fellow seized
her has impressed the authorities with the
idea that possibly this Long Island “Jack
the Strangler” is the man who is responsi-
ble for the English servant girl’s death.
Strong hOpes are entertained by the au-
thOrities that the $500 reward offered by
the town board of Newtown may develop
additional clews. Coroner Homeyer fears,
however, that it will only have the elfect
of turning up a lot of information cranks,
whose aid he has no use for.
The Mionument Not Attached.
BENNINGTON, Vt., Aug. 11.—The dis-
patches recently sent out from Hartford
stating that the Bennington battle monu-
ment had been attached to secure the Se«
curity Company of Hartford in the sum
of $5,000 are denied here. The association
has never borrowed money, and knows of
no valid claim against it. The transfer of
the monument to the state of Vermont
will occur on Aug. 19, and a great con-
in the ceremonies.

A NIAGARA RIVER MYSTERY.
Cora Farthing May Be a Suicide or She.
May Have Met Foul Play. ’
BUFFALO, Aug. 11. --The mystery sur-
rounding a beautiful dark haired girl
found in the Niagara river at Lewiston
_ last Friday has not yet been cleared up,
although she has been identified. She was
Cora Farthing, a. respectable young girl of
this city. Her parents live on West Ferry ,. ;
street.
COra- had been housekeeper 'for..,A. J.
Pierce and here an excellent reputatiOn.
While the family believe she committed
suicide, the autopsy revealing good cause .
for dOSpondency, there are Circumstances
which make the theory of murder just as ~ i -, . .. .__.. , .-
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. —It will surprise .
plausible. A woman living not far from
the grove where Cora Spent most of her
time Thursday, says that about 10 o ’clock
the night before she heard two men run-
ning past her house, one calling out:
“Come on—there she goes. See her?”
Ida. Scott, who walked and talked with
Cora Thursday afternoon, says that she
wore two gold rings, and that a lace collar
was fastened In front and back with gold
pins. Cora also carried a pocketbook, Ida
Scott said, and it was quite full of small
change, mostly' 1n twenty—five cent pieces.
The collar was off when the body was
found, and the black jacket she wore was
gone. Her pocketbook, parasol and hat
Were also gone, but these were afterward
found on the bank.
The pocketbook, however, was minus
the money, and only a small knife and
some hairpins were found in it. What' Is
regarded as suspicious also Was that her
collar should show signs of being torn off,
and her jacket was torn as if it had been
taken off with force.
Lawrence Costello and James Daily were
arrested, as they had been seen in the
girl’s company the day before her body
was found, but they told such a. straight
story that they were discharged.
Editor Croasdale Dead.
MERRIEWOLD, N. Y., Aug. 11.—William
T. Croasdale, the well known labor poli-
tician and editor of Henry George’s Stand-
ard, died here of peritonitis. Mr. Gross-
dale was born in Mill Creek hundred,
Del. ., in March, 1844. He got his education
at Wilmington and became engaged in
newspaper work there, starting the suc
cessful Every Evening. Politics attracted
him, and he became intimate with Thomas
F. Bayard. In 1882 he moved to Balti-
more and founded The Day, a paper with
labor tendencies. This was soon given up,
and coming to New York. he became at-
tached to The Star. He strongly supported
Henry George in the latter’s run for
mayor, and afterward became managing
editor of The Standard. In 1889 he took
entire charge of the paper. He ran'for
congress last fall in the Seventh district
and was badly beaten.
Elliott in State Prison.
COLUMBUS, 0., Aug. 11.—W. J. Elliott
has been removed from the county jail to
state prison. Sheriff Custer, accompanied
by two deputies, drove him over in a sur-
rey wagon. They took by streets and El.
liott was not handcuffed. The party at
tracted no attention and there was an ab
sence of the excitement feared. Reporters
were not permitted to accompany the
party further than the guard room, and he
was searched, stripped, bathed and exam-
ined, according to the rules in Private
Deputy Warden Porter’s office. When
asked what employment Elliott would be
given he said: “That depends upon the re-
sult of his examination. If physically
strong he will be put at manual labor of
some kind.” ,
Died from an Overdose of Medicine.
AMHERST, N. .- , Aug. 11.—Mrs. Lelia
Robinson Sawte 1e, an authoress and a
member of the Massachusetts bar, died
from an overdose Of medicine taken inad-
vertently.
Mrs. Sawtelle was the first woman in
Massachusetts tobe admitted to the bar.
She graduated in 1881 from the University
Law school. She was the author of the
books “Law Made Easy” and “Law of
Husband and Wife. ” She was a vigorous
writer and Speaker.

A 8111'er Motive, Mayhap, in Not
Presenting Them for Extension.

A Move‘ to Bid the Government Service

' I A"'I’1'opositlon to That End to Be _-
Submitted to' theNext Congress. .
many persons, not alone among the gen-
eral public but among the higher authori-
ties of the treasury itself, who have taken
current statements for granted without
examining the records personally, to learn _
that Secretary Foster is basing his hopes
for his bond operations in September next
upon a very fragile foundation. A differ-
ence of In single cipher 1n the figures most
widely published is chargeable with this
farreaching misapprehension.
Several weeks ago it was announced, on
what seemed to be the best authority, that
the private demand for the 4% per cent.
bonds extended at 2 per cent. was likely
even to outstrip the demand from the na-
tional banks. . B
At the time this report went into circu-
lation the daily mails were bringing in
letters from individual bondholders inclos-
ing bonds, and at a. rate which gave prom-
ise of great results. Instead of $15, 000, 000,
however—the sum which got into print——
the face of these bonds of private owner-
ship presented for extension would not
greatly exceed $1, 500, 000 at that date. Such
an error—six ciphers instead of five—was
an easy one to make, and more than one
treasury magnate was himself deceived
b it.
y The Banks Backward.
There are now only three weeks remain:
ing for the treasury to gather in its 4%3
for extension. The banks themselves have
not come to the front so fast as had been
hoped—though their slowness is generally
attributed to the difficulty of getting a
quorum of directors together in the midst
of the vacation season. There are still
about $10, 000, 000 Of the banks’ bonds to be
heard from.
Meanwhile the bonds held by private
parties and presented for extension will
not exceed to date $3, 000, 000 worth. In
round numbers, therefore, there are about
$30, 000, 000 worth of the 41/3 whose fate no-
body can foresee. With the heavy demands
made upon the treasury all the time, it is
still uncertain in what condition it will
find itself when the 2d of September ar-
rives.
Besides the bonds presented for exten-
SIG“ there have been a. rather large number
requests for transfers of title of regis-
tered bonds between private par ties,
brought about, doubtless, by the outstand-
ing ofier of a small premium inl New York.
Of the coupon bonds which have changed
hands also the treasury, of course, has no
direct knowledge. It has been assumed,
however, by Secretary Foster and his de-
partmental cabinet that all the transfers
have been made with a view to the exten-
sion of the bonds involved.
Great Expectations.
It' 15 beginning to dawn upon their minds

A Civil Pension List.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—A civil pension
list is the latest patriotic scheme which
finds favor in the minds of the 01d depart-‘
ment clerks here, the old men and women
who have worked industriously in the gov-

Postmaster General Wanamaker favors
the scheme. “\Vc .11. e: 1dy have In effect, ”
he said afew days .11.,ro,“a civil pension

the rolls of the department who, from

do thework that is required of them be-I

humane system of retirements which the
clerks could be prepared to meet as they

Ybere' is an organized movement in the
departments for the establishment of a
civil pension list. It has its headquarters
in the war department.

lerks' 1n the government service to learn-
17 air views, and a. majority of them favor
the proposition, which will be laid before
congress at the next session. This propo

cent. on the salaries of all clerks for the
purpose of retiring from the public service -’I
on three-quarters’ pay those clerks who
have seen thirty years of service.
According to the statistics which they
prepared, there are seventy-five men now .
in public service who will be retired by the
operation of this act, but as there is an-
another proposition to be added to it pro-
' certain age, say sixty-five years, this num-
' ber Inky be increased very largely.
