TWO GIRLS annn
One a Child of Eight Years, the Other
3. Pretty Young Woman.
EACH MURDERED BY A FIEND
The Child Was Discovered In a Stable In
Saviii Hill, Mass., and the Young \Vom-
an In a .Church In San Francisco.
The Latter Case a Complication.
BOSTON, April 15.—-The most revolting
:rime known in Boston in many years was
unearthed by the police of Dorchester dis-
trict late yesterday, when the body of Alice
Sterling, the 8-year-old daughter of George
W. Sterling of 45 Savin Hill avenue was
found buried in the manure pile of an old
stable on the Denny estate. The little
girl’s skull had been crushed in by aheavy
blow from an ax, and there were unques-
tionable indications that she had been out-
raged.
Angus D. Gilbert, night station agent at
the Savin’Hill station of the Old Colony
division of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, is under arrest charged
with the crime.
George Sterling, who is a hairdresser
at 1,210 Dorchester avenue, reported to the
police at midnight Wednesday that his lit-
tle daughter had disappeared some time
during the afternoon, while Mrs. Sterling
and other members of his large family
were away from home. Searching parties
looked all day Thursday, but could find
no trace of her. -
Officers Perkins and Smith of Division
11 were given chargeof the case, and yes-
terday the latter was informed by Miss
Edith Reid that she had seen from her resi-
dence, at the corner of Spring street and
Savin Hill avenue, a man with a red mus—
tache and light overcoat leading the little
Sterling girl by the hand down the rail-
road track. .
From the description the officers decided
that the man they wanted was Angus D.
Gilbert, the night agent at the depot. In
the daytime he Worked for C. W. Emmons,
on Denny street, near Savin Hill avenue.
He slept in an old stable on the Denny es-
tate near by, and Miss Reidstated that she
was positive the man went in this direc-
tion after leaving the railroad tracks. The
officers yesterday instituted a thorough
search of the premises surrounding both
the Denny estate and the Emmons place.
Miss Reid was sure the two followed the
top of an old sewer a distance of probably
200 yards, but lost sight of them soon aft-
er they left the track. This was an un-
usual route and indicated that the man
wished to avoid public streets. _
During the search Gilbert was found at
work at the Emmons place. He was im—
mediately placed under arrest by Oflicer
Perkins. The old stable on the Denny
place was then searched. Two old towels
and bloody rags were found in Gilbert’s
room. When the manure pile was searched,
Officer Perkins struck a human foot. A
body was pulled out and was soon identi-
fied as Alice Sterling. Her skull was
crushed, and the cause of death was only
too apparent. Her clothing was torn,
showing too plainly the motive of the'hor-
rlble crime. A bloody ax was found near
by, concealed under a beam.
Gilbert would not admit the crime. but
when brought handeufled to view the body
he trembled like an aspen leaf. Miss Reid,
who furnished the 016w, and another wom-
an living near, named Mrs. William Allen,
called at Station 11 last night and posi-
tively identified the prisoner as the man
they saw with the little girl on Wednesday.
LIKE JACK THE RIPPBR.
A Young Girl Murdered and Horribly Mu-
tilated In San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.—-A Sunday
school teacher, with her scholars, entering
the Emanuel Baptist church yesterday,
found the body of a young girl frightfully
mutilated in tho pastor’s study, adjoining
the main auditorium. Her- clothing was
torn and disheveled, and she had evidently
been outraged before she was killed. Her
frail «body was covered with blood and
wounds. The walls of the study were be-
spattered with her blood, and there was a
large red pool under the table near her
feet. A cut on her wrist had severed the
arteries and tendons. She was stabbed in
each breast, and over the heart was a flesh
wound, in which was sticking part of a
broken, blade. ‘-
The bedy has been identified as that of
Minnie Williams, a domestic residing in
Alameda, but a member of Emanuel
church in this city. .She was about 18
years old and remarkably pretty. She had
assisted in decorating the church the night
before and had worn an old dress while so
' When through, she is presumed to
to change her attire. The sexton, believ-
ing every one had gone, turned out the
lights and left the church.
The girl had an excellent reputation.
She had‘a male friend, a dental student,
whom her friends suspect of murdering
her. This student, whose home is in De-
vlant, wrote her, asking her to meet him
in San Francisco. Miss Williams refused.
but said she would be at the festival in the
church, where he could see and converse
with her. They met at the festival, and
no one saw either of them leave the church
at its conclusion. _
A curious coincidence in connection’
with the murder is the fact that Miss Wil-
liams was a close friend of Miss Blanch
Lamont, a young girl from Montana, who
has been missing for ten days. Mrs. Noble,
Miss Lamont’s aunt, was the first to dis-
cover the dead body of Miss Williams in
the church. Mrs. N oble. today received
through the mails a paper in which were
wrapped three rings worn» by her missing
niece the night she disappeared. On the
paper.was the name of Theodore Durant.
the young dental student who made the
appointment with Miss Williams, the mur-
dered girl. The police have as yet made
no arrest, and the double mystery is puz-
zling the whole city. ,
Theodore Durant, the young medical
student who met Miss Williams at the
church festival, has fled. The police are
searching. for him, but ,so far unsuccess-
fully.

‘He Is Believed to Favor the Constitution-
THE menus FIGHT _
An Eii'c rt to Have It Opened Up Again
Before the Supreme Court.
JUSTICE J ACKSON’S VIEWS.
ality of the Law—President Cleveland’s
Position —- The Administration
and the New Silver Party.
WASHINGTON. April 15,—Informal no~
tice has been given the United States su-
preme. court by counsel in opposition to
the income tax of a purpose to ask the
court for a rehearing of the income] tax
question. In view of the importance of
the case the impression prevails that the
court will grant the motion, and that ar-
ran gements will be made for a speedy hear-
ing and final determination of the issue.
Justice Jackson’s health has improved
considerably of late, and it is known in this
city that he recently expressed his deter-
mination to come to Washington and re-
sume his official duties at once in case the
income tax suits were set down for an imw
mediate hearing, and in view of this fact
it is believed that the cases will be re-
opened and an early decision be given up-
on thosc portions of the law upon which
eight justices ‘ are now equally divided.
This sudden forcing of the income tax suit
to.another trial' is not agreeable to all the
parties to the last suit, and a very clear in-
timation was given here today that some
of the counsel preferred waiting until next
autumn, as an impression prevails that
Justice Jackson is favorable to the income
tax law.
Later information concerning Justice I
Jackson, however, would indicate that he
did not expect to return to Washington
until October (which would delay a rehear-"
ing until then), and that it was coupled
with the statement that if his health did
not then permit him to resume his duties
he would send his resignation to the presi-
dent.
There is no doubt as to the president’s
vleWs upon the expediency and constitu-
tionality of the income tax. His sugges-
tion to congress thata low rate income tax
law be enacted was made only after the
most careful examination of all the ques-
tions involved, and as a result of this ex-
amination he was and is still convinced
that an income tax law is constitutional.
It is understood that his views differ very
radically from these (if the court on the
rent exemption question as contained in
their opinion of last Monday. Mr. Cleve~
land, it is said, holds to the opinion that
the taxation of incomes received from rents
is not a direct tax within the meaning of
the constitution, and that in case of the
retirement of Justice Jackson during his
term of office he will see to it that his suc-
cessor’s views coincide with his own on
this important point. ,
Against the Silver Movement.
WASHINGTON, April iii—The interest
the administration takes in the campaign
against the free silver movement is undis-
guised. The letter which President Cleve-
land is preparing to send to the Chicago
business men in reply to their invitation
to deliver an address upon the currency _
will be no less emphatic than that he ad-
dressed to the chamber of commerce of
New York early in 1892, although it is
probable that he will go more into details
and more explicitly state the reasons for
his opposition to the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1.
Secretary Carlisle will deliver two
speeches on the subject of currency, but
largely devoted to silver. He will‘proba-
bly speak once in Kentucky and once in
Tennessee early in May. His Kentucky
speech may be delivared at Louisville, al-
though there have been requests from his
old home in ’Covington to talk to the peo:
ple there. In Tennessee he will speak at
Memphis or Nashville.
Other members of the cabinet will also
speak on the silver question, although .
times and places have not been fixed.
They believe that a campaign of education
on the money question will have the effect
of checking the movement toward free sil-
ver, which they believe has become a seri=
ous menace to the integrity of the Demo-
cratic party. .
The New Torpedo Boats.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-—-Secretary Her-
bert has decided to award to the Columbia
iron works of Baltimore the contract for
building three torpedo boats. This firm
was the lowest bidder, or at $97,000 for
each of the boats, and they will be built
on the designs drawn by the navy depart-
ment. The department has been keeping
a watchful eye upon the performance of
some of the new English torpedo boats,
which have attained the marvelous speed
of 28 and 29 knotsper hour, and having
disposed of the contracts for the three
boats above referred to Secretary Herbert
has taken up the subject of designs for the
other boats authorized by the last naval ap-
prepriation bill. He has given instructions
that these boats shall be larger all around
than their predecessors, which are to be of
138 tons displacement and 24% knots’
speed.
The new boats, for which bids will be
asked later on, will be of about 180 tons.
This is 40 tons smaller than the English
Havoc class, the fastest type afloat; yet
they_will be required to show a speed of 28
knots per hour. . .

Afliicted With Rheumatism. '
'Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn.I
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I oeuld not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving any
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
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
