Senator Quay Punctures Some Reports.
Ens McKinley Invited Iessenden?
PITTSBURG. May 25.—In a o nvcrsation
at Beaver last night Senator uay punc-
tured a number of reports that have been
in circulation Since the Indiana state con-
Vention.
convention Harrison telegraphed Quay
and" Platt asking. “What do you w nt
me to do?” and that Quay did not re y.
The senator is credited with keeping ar-
rison from going to the state meeting.
“That report is not true,” Mr. Quay
said promptly. “It is ridiculous. Any-
body who is acquainted with Harrison
knows it is not like him. I did not re-
ceive that telegram or any telegram from
Harrison. I did not hear from him.”
Speaking of the talk of Hastings for vice
president, the senator remarked that he
did not think the governor really wanted
the position. Colonel Moody spoke up and
said that few vice presidents figure in his-
tory.
“Yes,” Mr. Quay added dryly, ”and
the salary is only $8,000 per year.” ‘
lIIcKinley and Fessenden.
NEW HAVEN, May 25.—The Evening
Leader publishes the following: “A Stam-
ford gentleman is authority for the state-
ment that the Hon. Samuel Fessenden, a
member of the Republican national com-
mittee and who is a firm friend and sup-
porter cf Thomas B. Read, has been in-
vited to go to Canton and make a ‘social
call’ on Major McKinley.”
STAMFORD, Conn., May 24.—-Samuel
Fessenden was seen here and was asked
to confirm the report that he had been in-
vited to visit Major McKinley. Mr. Fes-
senden refused to confirm or deny the re
port, and when pressed said, “I have noth-
ing to say. ”
BURNBD LOADS OI‘ MAIL.
The Queer System That Prevails In Crip-
ple Creek’s Postomce.
DENVER. May 25.—A special to The
Times from Cripple Creek, 0010., says:
Wagon load after wagon load of mail mat-
ter was taken from the Cripple Creek post-
office to the city dump, where an attempt
was made by the postmaster’s assistants
to burn It. What was not consumed was
covered with offal. When it became
known to the public that a wholesale de-
struction of mail was going on, many citi-
zens went out to the dump and saved some
of their mail. In nearly every instance
the mall thrown away was plainly ad-
dressed, the box humber appearing In full
view. Mail was there for some of the
most prominent citizens of the camp.
One of the worst features of the affair
is the fact that mail addressed to othel
places was destroyed. When Postmaster
Rose was called ‘upcn for an explanation,
he said the burning was done on the au-
thority of the postofiice inspector. The
postmaster acknowledged that some mail
was destroyed which ought not to have
been.
Reputable citizens say that they pay in.
to the postofiice at certain intervals or stip.
ulated sum of money for the privilege oi
receiving mail in advance of other people
‘ An Official invess
tigatlon will be asked for.
Ex-Senator \Vallace's Funeral.

late residence Thursday at 2 o’clock. The

lic méeting in the courthouse at 11 o’clock
on the day of the funeral to pay a fitting
tribute to the memory of their late col-
league.

NEW YORK, May 25.—The condition Oi
Moritz Pront, who has been sleeping oi
the Beth Israel hospital, for the last 27
days, is unchanged. Letters from cranks
all over the country are received by the

WOMEN ASSASSINATED
The Two Victims Buichered In 9. Salt
Lake. City Church.
PASTOR HERMANN IMISSING.
lie Is Suspected of the Crime and Appar-
ently Not Without Reason—One Body
Found In the Church Furnace.
The Other Victim Missing.
SALT LAKE CITY, May 25.—A tragedy,
in many respects similar to the murders
Said to have been committed by Durant
at San Francisco, has been discovered in
this city. -
In this case, as in the other, a church
was the scene of the crimes and the vic-
tims twa women.
The pastor of the church, the Rev. Fran-
cis Hermann, isaocused of the murders.
The scene of the crimes was the First
Scandinavian church, 158 East Second
street. ’
Last year the pastor’s wife died, and he
engaged Miss Clawson, an attractive
young woman of 25, to look after his
apartments in the church building.
In September last Miss Clawson sud-
denly disappeared and has not been seen
alive since. '
A Body In the Furnace.
Immediately after her disappearance
the pastor, although the weather was hot
at that season, ordered a big fire built in
the furnace in the basement of the church.
He sent everybody away, and, lighting the
fire himself, kept it going for hours.
Persons residing in the neighborhood
detected odors at the time and remonstrat-
ed with Hermann, but he said he wanted
to give the fines a thorough test before
cold weather came.
It was in this furnace a few days ago
that the body of Miss Clawaon, together
with blackened razors, a butcher knife
and part of a woman's garter buckle,
were found.
The other victim is Miss Annie Samson.
She was engaged to be married to the
preacher, but mysteriously disappeared in
February last, and it is supposed her re-
mains are concealed somewhere about the
church.
Smeared With Blood.
The police, who have been secretly
working on the case for several days,
found a barrel, the head of which is cov-
ered with human blood. Blood stains were
also found on the furnace door and floor.
The Rev. Mr. Hermann, for whose ar-
rest a warrant has been issued on the
charge of murder, left this city on May 7
for Kansas City, thence to Deoorah, 18.,
on a missionary tour.
Since his departure he has not been
heard of, and telegrams sent to both Kan-
sas City and Decorah, 1a., have failed to
bring any tidings of him.
Among his effects here, which are in
the hands of the police, are letters, arti-
cles of jewelry and clothing belonging to
both the dead girls.
Johnson Has in Due! on His Hands.
NEW Yuan, May 25.—News has reach-
ed Thc Daily American Wheelman from
Paris that John S. J ohnscn had been chal-
lenged to fight a duel by awell known
manufacturer of Paris. The cause of the
difficulty was a row between Tom Eck,
Johnson’s manager, and a negro rider,
who, Eek claims, interfered with An-
tone Jobnson, Johnny’s brother, in a
race. Eek struck the negro, and a row
was precipitated, which resulted in a chal-
lenge being issued by the manufacturer,
whose wheel the negro rode in the race.
Carrying Arms to Cuba.
WASHINGTON, May 25.—The admission
was made last night by the management
of a local steamboat company that some
of its boats were carrying arms and am-
munition from Florida to Cuba, but that
the boats were all small, none being more
than 150 feet long, though capable of great
speed. In a denial that the City of Rich-
mond, formerly owned by the line, had
been purchased by Cubans, the officials
said the boat had been examined early last
February by Cubans, but rejected as too
slow.

The people have long since learned that
the most disagreeable medicines are notnec—
essarily the best.. In fact, asla rule, they are
not. “That is wanted is something mild and
sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera

pleasant to take when reduced with water
and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged
everywhere to be the most successful remedy
in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any
number of. druggists for the. best remedy
they have for diarrhoea and fully nine out
of ten will recommend Chamberlain’s. In
speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B. Bufl‘um

it to be a most effective remedy.” For sale
