BUCHANAMUST DIE.
His Conviction Has Been Aflirmed by
the Court of Last Resort.
HE POISONED HIS RICH wire.
She Was a \Voman of Bad Character, and
Before He Married Ber She Had Turned
Over Her Property to Him—The
End of a Celebrated Case.
ALBANY, Feb. 27.—The court of appeals '
has affirmed the judgment of the lower
.court against Dr. Buchanan in the latter’s
appeal in the celebrated murder case to the
court of last resort.
This was an appeal by Dr. Buchanan
from a judgment of the court of general
sessions of the county of New York. ren-
dered Aug. 14, 1893, convicting him of
murder in the first degree. The defendant
was indicted on June 9 in that year by the
grand jury, charged with the crime of
murder in the first degree in the killing of
Anna Buchanan, his wife, by administer-
ing poison to her in the city of New York
on April 22, 1892.
Buchanan pleaded not guilty, and he
was placed on trial before Recorder Smyth
and a jury. The jury rendered a verdict
against the defendant, convicting him of

murder in the first degree. The verdict
was on two counts—that the defendant did
administer five grains of morphine, and
that the defendant administered, with like
intent, certain deadly poison, to the jury
unknown, by means of which his wife
died.
Buchanan’s Checkered Career.
Buchanan came from Nova Scotia. He
had procured a divorce from his wife. In
New York, where he kept up his profes-
sion, he became acquainted with Mrs.
Anna B. Sutherland, who was alleged to
be a woman of questionable character. It
was alleged that a few days prior to his
marriage to the Sutherland woman, who
owned some property, she executed a will
leaving her entire estate to Buchanan.
After their marriage they went to live
at 267 West' Eleventh street, New York
city. Mrs. Buchanan was taken ill, and a
Dr. McIntyre was called. He prescribed
twice for her, and he and a Dr. Watson
held a consultation as to her disease. The
“woman died on the following Saturday.
The body was embalmed and interred in
3the Greenwood cemetery April 24, 1892,
:where it remained until June 5, 1892.
It was then removed to the Carnegie
laboratory.
_‘- Unmistakable signs of the presence of
jmorphine were found in the stomach, and
the expert opinion was that death was due
to morphine. The trial attracted wide-
épread attention and lasted for six weeks.

ROCHESTER, Feb. 27.—Rochester was in
mourning today for Frederick Douglass.
Flags at half mast floated to the breeze
from the public buildings and from many
business blocks. The entire city showed
in every possible way the high respect in
which her former distinguished resident
was held. The train bearing the remains
came into the Central station a few min-
utes late, and it was 10 o’clock before the
funeral cortegc started from the depot.
During the interval of waiting the station
and train house were crowded with sight-
seers as well as those who had been se-
lected to act as escort to the funeral party.
Just before the train pulled into Rochester
there marched into the trainhouse the fu-
neral cortegc headed by the Fifty-fourth
regiment band. Following was a platoon
of police, and next came the members
from the Douglass League of Rochester
bearing the league banner draped in
mourning. F. E. Plattner was in com-
mand of the league. The mayor, members
of the common council and other city ofli-
cials came in carriages. The honorary
bearers accompanied them. The active
bearers were in waiting at an early hour
at the depot. As the train came in the
band played a funeral dirge, and the old
friends of the Douglass family and the al-
dermanic committee stepped forward to re-
ceive the Washington party.
Members of Douglass’ Family Present.
The party which came from Washington
consisted of Mrs. Frederick Douglass,
widow; Lewis Douglass and Charles Doug-
lass, sons, and Mrs. Fredericka Sprague,
daughter; Miss Estelle Sprague and Hat-
tie Sprague, granddaughters, and Joseph
Douglass, grandson of the deceased. Gen-
eral John A. Eaton, ex—United States com-
missioner of education, and Professor
George W. Cook of Washington represent-
ed Howard university, and H. S. Schell-
cutt represented the Asbury Methodist
church of Washington. The bearers step-
ped forward, lifted the casket from the car
and carried it to the hearse through the
parted lines of people who stood with un-
covered heads while the band continued
playing the mournful dirge. The city ofii-
cials took carriages again, and the Wash-
ington party were escorted to their car-
riages by sympathetic friends. In the
meantime the line formed behind the
hearse in the same order of march in which
it entered the station. Slowly and im-
pressively the funeral party started up
North Clinton street to East Main, thence
down Main to the city hall, where the
body of Rochester’s famous son rested in
state for several hours. Handsome wreaths
and other floral tributes sent by sympa-
thetic friends from Washington lay on the
coffin.
The March to the Church.
The procession formed at the city hall
at 1 :30 o’clock this afternoon and proceed-
ed to the central church. The escort was
arranged in the same order as when the
cortegc came from the station this morn-
ing. Arriving at the church, the proces-
sion proceeded down the main aisle to the
pulpit, in front of which the casket was
placed upon the bier. The organ mean-
while poured forth a funeral march. The
invocation was by Rev. Dr. H. H. Stebbins.
The eulogies were by Dr. Stebbins and
Dr. W. R. Taylor. Miss Mary Anthony
read a poem of tribute, which was followed
with another written and read by Sherman
D. Richardson. A male quartet sang
“Hide Thou Me,” of which Mr. Douglass
was especially fond and which he sang the
day before his death. The organist played
an adaptation of the old negro melody,
"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” As the
cortegc left the church Beethoven’s “Mar-
cia Funebre” was played.
At the cemetery the services were brief.
When the funeral party left the grave,
there were many cheeks met with tears.
To Drop Financial Amendments.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—~The friends of
,the amendment to the sundry civil bill
providing for an issue of 3100, 000,000 cer-
tificates of indebtedness have about con-
cluded that they will be unable to get the
bill through as long as the amendment re-
mains a part of it. The Populist senators
have announced their determination to
defeat the passage of the bill rather than
allow the adoption of the amendment.
This they could accomplish at this late day
of the session. The friends of the measure
have been in consultation, and while they
have reached no conclusion some of them
concede that it will probably be necessary
to abandon the amendment.
As a rule, the senators who oppose the
certificate provision favor the amendment
ofiered by Senator Mills for the repeal of
all laws authorizing the issue of bonds,
but it will be opposed by those who favor
the certificates just as stubbornly as the
certificate amendment will be opposed by
the antibond men. Either would probably
force a debate that would prevent the pas-
sage of the bill if persisted in, and as no
one in any party or faction appears now to
desire an extra session it is probable that
both amendments will be dropped after the
facts which are now becoming quite plain
shall be emphasized by debate.
Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving an
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain 13
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For

SENATE’SleW WORK
The Upper Branch of Congress Makes
Haste Very, Very Slowly.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE.
National Arbitration Bill Brings Out Gen-
eral Discussion—Interesting Bits
of News and Gossip From
the National Capital.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-—-A financial dis-
cussion was imminent when the senate
met today. The rapid work done at the
session last night had cleared away most
of the formal-matter.
Mr. Hale (Rep, Me.) called attention to
the incompleteness of The Congressional
Recordin not containing last night’s pro-
ceedings of the senate. He stated that the
senate reporters had completed the proceed-
ings on time, but at 1 :30 a. m. the govern-
ment printing office had closed its doors
and had refused to print the report for to
day.
Mr. Manderson (Rep, Neb.) of the print-
ing committee said the matter would be
investigated and remedied. The resolution
concerning the Mexican free zone, with re-
visions to include the entire length of the
zone, was agreed to.
Mr. Voorhees, from the committee on
finance, offered an amendment to the sun«
dry civil bill embodying the recent resolu-
tion of Mr. Wolcott for participation by
the United States in an international
monetary conference.
Mr. Voorhees asked that the amendment
go to the appropriations committee for
speedy action, in order that it be acted on
as a part of the pending sundry civil bill,
and this reference was made. ~
“Is it expected that the senate commis-
sioners will. be chosen before the adjourn-
ment?” asked Mr. Hawley (Rep. Conn.).
“That is the understanding, I believe, ”
responded Mr. Voorhecs.
Money For Paterson and Troy.
The sundry civil bill was then taken up.
New amendments were agreed to appro-
priating $50, 000 for commencing work on
the Paterson (N. J.) public building and
$22,950 additional for the Troy (N. Y.)
public building. ,
Mr. Cockrell offered acommittec amend-
ment, which was agreed to, appropriating
$4,000 to Colonel Ainsworth, chief of the
bureau of records and pensions of the war
department, to reimburse him for legal cx-
penses resulting from the Ford’s theater
disaster.
An additional $10, 000 for heirs of two
additional victims of the Ford’s theaters
disaster was agreed to.
Mr. Berry (Dcm., Ark. ), chairman of
the committee on public lands, spoke
against the proposed committee amend-
ment reducing the appropriation for pro-
tecting lands from $90, 000 to $60,000. A
letter from the commissionereof the land
office was read showing the value of this
service. Mr. Berry spoke of the extent of
ing the service he urged its enlargement
and moved an increase to $120,000.
Mr. Gorman energetically Opposed an in-
crease. He said the places in this service
were well recognized as comfortable posi—
tions for political favorites.
The committee’s amendment was adopt-
ed—30 to 25.
In the House.
The house met at 11 O‘clock today. Mr.
Henderson (Dem., N. (3.), chairman of the
committee on postofliccs and post roads,
immediately called up the conference re«
port on the postofiice appropriation bill,
much to the disappointment of the group
of members who were clamoring for unan-
imous consent to consider bills. 'The sen-
ate amendment providing that railway
mail clerks hercaftcr appointed should live
somewhere along the line of the route to
heretofore appointed should not be required
to change their residence, was the only
question in dispute between the two
houses.
The amendment was designed to destroy
the efiect of general order No. 379 issued
by tho postmaster general requiring clerks
to live on the line of their routes. When
the order was issued, some 1,300 clerks
lived off their lines. Since then 800 have
changed their residence. Mr. Henderson
had read a letter from the postmaster gen-
eral earnestly protesting against the senate
amendment. As it was evident that the
amendment would occasion some debate,
Mr. Henderson withdrew the conference
report in order to give Mr. Catchings an
opportunity to present the special order
giving today until 3 o’clock to the com-
mittee on labor and tomorrow to the com-
mittee on public buildings and grounds.
The special order was adopted without di-
vision.
Mr. McGann of the labor committee then
called up the national arbitration bill,
which caused considerable discussion. The
debate was participated in by Mr. Erdman
(Dem., Pa), Mr. Simpson (Pop, Kan),
Mr. McCleary (Rep, Minn.), besides Mr.
McGann. ”.4-
