w c- ,.-=. ~ ARRESTED m KAISER MURDER. I James A. Clemmer Captured in New- ,/ ~ ark—Confesses ms Guilt.‘ Newark, Nov. 27.—James A. Clemmer, of Norristown, Pa... Was arrested on Broad street at noon yesterday by Chief of Detectives Stainsby and De- tective Sergeant Cosgrove for a mur- der committed in Norristown on Oct. 28, 1896. The prisoner, when taken to Police Headquarters, searched and con- fronted with . evidence of his connection- with the crime for which he was ar- rested broke down, admitted his guilt, and expressed a willingness *to go -to Norristown without any delay. The first intimation the Newark po- lice had of Clemmer’s presence in this zity was received Thursday from James A. Strasburger, District Attorney of Columbia County, Pennsylvania, where Clemnier, with three others, was in- dicted for the murder of Mrs. Emma P. Kaiser. The murdered woman’s husband. who was/one of the trio in- dicted for the crime,’ has already been :onvicted and is now'under sentence of death. _ Elizabeth L. Dekalb, another of the accused persons, is now on trial. Clem- mer was the only one at large. The crime was the culmination of an alleged conspiracy on the part of Charles 0. Kaiser, James A. Clemmer and the,Dekalb woman, who had sev- eral aliases, to secure a policy of $10,- 000 on the life of the murdered woman, who had been insured. for that amount a :rear previous. . . 'Jhe insurance company set its de- tectives to work. on the case, and dis- l )vered that Mrs. Kaiser, instead of Laying been killed in a. struggle with robbers, as was alleged, was really murdered. The killing of the woman was re- garded as one of the most brutal in the annals of crime in‘ Columbia County. _, . On Oct. 28, 1896, the day Mrs. Kaiser was murdered, .she was asked to go riding by her husband in company with two friends. _ , A year previous he had her life in- sured for $10,000, and from that time on the woman told a friend that her hus- band acted as if anxious that she would die. When she learned that 0ne.of the “friends" war Iiss Dekalb, who was responsible, i. opinion, for alienat— ing her husb..._. J affections, she de- murred. Kaiser, his wife, Clemmer and Miss Dekalb drove away from the Kaiser homestead early in the morning. That was the last time Mrs. Kaiser was seen alive. Late the same night Kaiser, Clem- mer and‘Miss Dekalb returned with Mrs. Kaiser’s dead body. They drove at once to police headquarters and re- latedthe story of being attacked by - highway robbers, whom they were un- 4‘ able to repulse until Mrs. Kaiser was . shot dead, when the alleged robbers lied. Kaiser was arrested and later tried, convicted and sentenced to death. Clemmer and Miss Dekalb fled, but the woman, was afterward lured from Trenton, where she lived under an as- sumed name, to ,Philadelphia, and taken into custody. WILL NOT EIGHT. Corbett and Fitz 1(110w Nothing of Reports of a Meeting! New York, Nov. 27.—A meeting be- tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons in the prize ring seems to be as remote as ever. A story was printed in a Buf- Ealo newspaper. that Fitzsimmons had agreed to a match with Corbett. In reply to a telegram, Corbett said: “T'aunton, Mass.,Nov. 26.—Have heard nothing about it. However, I am ready to make a match any time with Fitz. “JAMES J. CORBETT.” Martin Julian telegraphed: “Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 26.——No truth whatever in the report. Corbett evi- dently feels the need of Fitzsimmons’ name to boom his business. He is dy- ing hard, poor fellow. ' “MARTIN JULIAN." Missouri Pacific~ Salaries Restored.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov." 27.——The great blizzard has abated somewhat. In the western section of the State much snow has'fallen.

Bloom, who lives at 7 Water street, Norwalk. says: "I have ’ been troubled with catarrh in my head and threat for Some time. My whole head was stuii'ed up; the passages of-my head and throat would at times become so filled with mucous that I could not talk, and altogether it. was very annoy- ing. I also suffered a great deal of the time with headaches. I got a bottle of California CatarI-h Cure at Plaisted’s drug store in South Nor-walk,and I think it is the grandeststufi' in the world. It has cured me of all the disagreeable suffering I have had for so long; my throat troubles me no more, .and I haven’t had a headache for weeks. 1 have recommended it to several friends who have used it with satisfactory re- sults, and we all unite in saying it is. a wonderful medicine.” These words are from townswoman. California Cat-arrh Cure is for you, too. In cases of colds it is invaluable, as it helps in breaking them up, and entirely prevents a cold “hanging on,” as well as attacks of acute catarrh, which so often follow a severe cold in the head.

Three times the baronetcy was of- fered to Tennyson, says Mr. Mable in the Atlantic, and as many times he re- fused it. When, therefore, one day in .1883, Mr. Gladstone said to the Laurel ate’s son that for the sake of literature he wished to ofier his father the high- er distinction of a barony, there was grave doubt about its acceptance. The only difficulty which the Prime Mini;- ter thought insurmountable was the. possible insistence by Tennyson on h12 right to wear his wide—awake in the House of Lords! Tennyson was so Trail beyond the mere flattery of an offer of the peerage that he took the friend‘;: urgence of Mr. Gladstone with get: calmness, and at first was not to 33-:- moved from his determination to re- main plain Mr. Tennyson to the end of his days. He was finally persuade?” however, that as the foremost repre- sentative of literature in England. he ought not to put aside a distinction which would mark the formal recogni— -‘ tion of the place and function of liter- ature in the life of a great people. “I cannot but be touched,” he wrote to Mr. Gladstone, “by the friendliness of your desire that this mark of distinc- tion should be conferred on myself, and I rejoice that you, who have shown such a true devotion to literature, by pursuing it in the midst of what seems to most of us overwhelming and all- absorbing business, should be the first thus publicly to‘ proclaim the position which literature ought to hold in the world’s. work.” A itare Coin. _While engaged in digging under his farm house, near‘South Windsor, N. Y. a short time ago, George Buell found a curious copper coin. The obverse side of the coin has upon it a sun and a sun dial, the date of coinage, 1787, and the inscription, “Mind your own busi- ness.” The reverse side has thirteen links above the margin and an inscrip- tion in the center, “United States, one cent. The coin is known as a “Franklin cent," and is the first coin authrriznd by the United States. It is rate and valuable, being quoted at from $25 to $100. Mr. Buell has already been of- tered $20 for his find. Shipping Boos. Live bees are sometimes shipped on ice, so as to keep them dormant dur- ing the journey. This is particularly the case with bumble-bees, which have been "taken to New Zealand, where they are useful in fertilising the red clover which has been intro— duced into the colony. \ NOTES OF INTEREST.
