Reorswnlzatloii of "Western Pools
Necessary to Secure Harmony.
Chicago special: It Is firmly believed by
certain prominent railroad inon that thcro
is no probability that tho western freight
association will ever bo recognized again
and there is a prospect that tho trlpnrtlto
combination (tho Western Trunk associa
tion), which entails heavy expenso upon
tho Itock Island, Milwuukco and St. Paul,
and Union Pacific, without any benefit
being derived therefrom, will soon bo aban
doned. Tho indications nro that now com
binatlons will bo formed thissummcr which
will inclutlo tho traffic of tho nbovo named
association, as well as thnt hcrctoforo
pooled in tlio Northwestern traffic nssocla-
tlon. Tho fact has been established that
neither of theso pools can bo managed sue
ccsBfullv separately, but tho opinion is ox-
pressed thnt combined thoy may provo of
considerable benefit nnd insuro nminte
nanco of uniform rates. Tho terminus of
tho now combination is to bo extended to
Choycnno on tho Union Pacific and 151b-
marck and Farco on tho Northern nnd tho
Manitoba roads. At tho samo timo tho
Southwestern Hallway association Is to bo
extended to include tho Kansas business of
tho Atchison. Tonekn& Santa I'e, MiHsonri
Pacific, and other Knnsns roads. If tho
Santa Fo does not sccuro favorablo rccog
nitlon by tho Southwestern Rnilwny asso
elation, it may carry out its threat to be-
gin uiul llnish an independent lino lo uu
enco. which tho oxistinc lines between Chi
cago, St. Louis and Kansas City aro anxious
to prevent.

J. lie rciusul ol tlio second nuditor or tit a
treasury to audit tho pay account of Gen
eral Adam Unclean, of tho retired list ol
tho army, has brought about a good deal
of comment on tho custom now in voguo of
finding protests for disallowing claims
ngaiust tho government. It Is alleged that
the principal nim of tunny of tho account
ing o Ulcers Is to find pretexts for disallow
Ing claims.
General ltadcau was appointed by Presl
dent Grunt to bo consul general in England,
Ilndcuu was then on tho retired list of tho
army. Ah a man cannot draw two salaries
from tho government, lie did iiotnsk for his
salary uh a retired army ollicer whllo in
tlio consular service. Recently, however,
ho was Hupurrcdcd iu that position and
enmo home. According to custom ho ro-
signed Ids position on tho ictlrcd list the
day ho retired from tlio consular olllco. A
fow days ngo ho called for his salary as a
rotired officer and was informed that whou
ho accepted an appointment ho lost his
pinco on tlio retired list, and tliat His
uccount would not bo allowed or audited,
so General lludouu has brought suit for
his salary. Ho holds that a man cannot
o taken from tho rotired list of tho army
or navy, except by ordor of tho prcsldout,

Their ?Ictliol Expotcd b)r a Captain
ofChlcago Police.
Chicago dispatch: Notwithstanding the
fact that it had been positively stated thnt
not ono word of testimony in the anarchist
investigation beforo tlio grand jury would
be divulged until that body concluded its
labors, a morning paper comes out with n
tongarticlo going to show that tho testi
mony of Police Captain Schnnk was of n
far more interesting character than hns
been generally supposed by tho general
public. In fact, it was sensational nnd
hair-raising in tho highest degree. To
begin with, ho told tho jury thnt ho hud no
doubt that tho prisoner, Ling,', had manu
factured a number of dynamite bombs,
nnd that ho got tho material from tho
Arbciter Zeitung ofllcc. lie hnd witnesses
to provo this. Ono of tho witnesses wns a
qusal accomplice of Llngg, whose nnmo ho
rnniiM,ln,l t,,f. t r lift nol'ml 4n .I!....!....
Ho could give the detals of tho muuufuc-1
turo of tho cxnlosivcs and tell who oro
tho principal parties concerned therein
with Lingg. There were four persons, and
only Lings and ono other wero under
arrest.
Tho second section of tho captain's test!
mony was listened to with breathless
silence. "I think," said Schuack, "that I
have got to tho bottom of this business.
In a couplo of days I will have it all; but I
want nioro time. Then I can nrovo hevond
doubt thnt this anarchist cousniracv has
existed noro ior years, i hero aro two divi
sions ot it. Ono is an agitating section
Money is set apart for its purposes. This
is called the socialist section. Besides this
there !h an armed party, an anarchist sec

It would havo been carried out but that
the anarchists lacked tho nervo nnd wero
unprepared for the vigorous action of tho
police. .Men wero tolled off to sot flro to
certain houses in tho northwestern portion
of tho city, nnd others wero tolled off to
throw bombs into thcDohcostations. whllo
others wero to uso bombs at tho mooting
IliU fwniu tll'i'VllljlbCU LtJ uisjjuinu It.
think I can connect evorv man of
the socialists now in jail with theso crimes
Tho houses to have been burned in tho
northwestern section of tho citv wero to bo
selected indiscriminato'y. Tho purposo of
burning wns to attract thonttcntiou ot the
nonce to that section nnd draw thoin awnv
irom tno main points ot attack, tho Hay
market square and police stations. Tho
fnrly dispersal of the crowd in tho smmrc,
tho premature throwing of tho bomb, for
it was premature, and lliodotormiiied resis
tanco ol tho police, frightened tho would-ho
incendiaries and those who wero to attack
tho police barracks in detail."
A juror asked, with something liko troni
dation, whero tho witnesses to 'provo this
conspiracy were.
"In tho lockup of tho polico station,"
Schaack replied. "I can produco ns many
of thoin before tho grand jury ns may bo
deemed wiso nnd necossnry. They have
confessed their complicity tonic." Captain
Se'.ianek then explained how didlcult he
found it to got anything out of the anarch
ists arrested.
Besides his pamphlet on dynamite nnd
other revolutionary methods, Herr Most
hns also prepared a puinphlot or circular
containing instructions to members ot the
organization of which ho seems to bo head.
as to how they shall act when arrested,
what answers they shall mako to tlio qucs
tions of tho polico olllcors. to tho investiga
tinggrand juries and others. Ho hnd found
that anarchists whom ho had questioned
hnd acted implicitly on theso instructions
so far, with a lew exceptions. Thoy hud
been well drilled. Ho hnd a copy of in
structions. Ho would produco it.
Tho now-astonished grand jurors readily
assented to tho proposition of tho polico
ollicer, which was backed up by tho state's
attorney, to give him tnoro time to com
nleto Ids chain of ovidencc, bo ho could
bring guilt to tho very doors of tho leaders
of tho anarchists in Chicago, somo of whom
nro yet at large, but under closo nnd con
stant watch. It would reqniro onlya littlo
timo. Ho would bo prepared next week.
New evidenco is coming to hand hourly of
tho extent of tho armament and organiza
tion of theso scoundrels who sought to in
nugurato in Chicago, that inomornhlo Tues
day night, a roign of terror which would
hnvo surpassed tlio wildest flights of tho
Paris commune.
A Woman's Career or Crime.
A special dispatch from .loliet, III., says:
The double suicide of Mrs. Black and Albert
Wylcr, at Frankfort, has recalled to tho
neighbors circumstances which point to-
ward a career ot crime on tho part of tho
dead woman. When only 10 years of ago
he married a man named Schlotiuan, aud
wo years later their first born was found
inn well. In 1SGS John Black and wlfo
iimo from Germany and were hired by
.Schlotiuan. Tho families becamo quito in
timate, and in a short time Mrs. Bl ick died
suddenly. s'chlotman's death followed
soon after. Black was In Michigan at this
timo and the widow- sent tor him, and in n
short time married him. Lust Christians
Wyler was hired, and two months later
Black died. All thesedeaths wero mysteries
nnd doctors always called, but arrived too
late to do anything. No suspicious wero
entertained on account ol tiio wealth and
respectability ol the family. A short lime
sinco the widow's son discovered illicit ro
tations between her and Wyler, aud n
family council demanded Wvlor's discharge.
Tho widow refused, and on Sunday evouing
came tho double suicide -or perhaps mur
der nnd suicide by tho ono to whom theso
facts point.

A CLEAR CASE OF Ml'P.DER.
Tlio SI. Louis Trunk HIjMcry Vlcarcd
Vp by llio Testimony ofn Detective.
St. Louis special: Tho sensal:.inal testi
mony of the day in the trial of Maxwell
was given by J. F. McCullough, :i detective,
who under the ditcctlou of Detective Tur
long, Disliict attorney Glover -md Ins it
sistnut (McDonald), forged a check, on un
Eastern houso nnd presented i, at their
hank. He was arrested and poured in jail
and assigned to tho cell adjoining that of
Maxwell. He testified that immediately
after his incarceration lie introduced him
self lo Maxwell and worked himself into his
confidence, nud about ten days afterward
ho became engaged iu a con versa Won with
Maxwell ubout the hitter's ca-i. During
this conversation the defendant told tlio
witness that the only point in the eu-3
about which lie Tell uncertain and uneny
was that concerning the money. He said
thnt if ho could only prove that he had
plenty ot money when Preller caino lo 1.
Louis ho would havo no anxiety about a
speed v acquittal. The witne oflered tu
tlx that all right, but told defendant that
lie must know ullabotit thecn-eorhcctild
do nothing. Maxwell then made a Irceund
full confession of all the particulars of
tho case, beginning with his lirst ac
quaintance with Preller. Having on ship
board noticed that Preller had in his
possession a large amount of ti.oncy, how
they separated iu Boston, he coming to
Philadelphia aud Maxwell to St. Louis.
The defendant in his confession said that
on tho Friday night after Preller joined
him iu this city he told him (Maxwell)
Mint it would be impossible for htm top.iy
the defeiidnnt'H way to Auckland, whithet
they hnd arranged to go together. ThK
said the defendant to tho witness, angered
him greatly, and he determined then to
' lix him" for his meanness. On the follow
ing night he and Preller wer? sitting in the
former s room when the latter complained
of severe pains iu his side. M.xxivell said:
"Oh. I can lix that all right 1 have
treated such cases before." lie then in
jected hyperdcrmicnlly iu Ids f.-iend's arm
a sufficient amount of morphine to render
hint , unconscious. After he had been in
that' condition for some time he hound u
handkerchief completely saturated will,
chloroform about Irs victim's hod, nud
this, ho confessed to witness, ended tho
business. Ho then secui ed PreMer's money,
about $800 in all, besides most of hi
effects, and planned his escape, the details
of which are well known.
AfterthoconcliiHion of McOrlongh'a t-.-sli
mony the court adjourned until " o'c'oek,
when his cross examination was procodod
with. After the noon recess and in tho
further examination of the witness ho pro
duced two letters which ho had received
from the counsel for the defence after lie
hud gotten out of jail, and while ho was .'u
New York. Tho contents of the letters,
however, were not put iu evidence. Upon
the eross-cxamimition Mr. i'liont'eroy-, foi
the defense, made a desperate error Ho con
fuse the witness. Fulling iu this ho brought
out his family history, which, however, did
not provo derogatory. Then lie tried to
offset the effect of tho testimony of tin
witness by reference to the detective meth
ods which had been employed, but the wit
ness passed through tho ordeal in hiicIi ,i
straightforward manner Unit tho effort ti
break down his testimony faded com
pletely. After Mr. Fouiilleroy, hiHUHsoiiute,
Mr. Martin, tried his hand on the witness,
but in vain, aud tho session cloned with tht
cowering Maxwell for once in his life awak
ened to such an interest in the trial that Ik
forgot his usual afternoon amusement o
criticising tho various styles of feaialt
beauty represented in tho ivudieuce
