A Senaatloual Suicide.
, Westminster, Md., Sept. 29.— Miss
Carrie Horner, daughter of Charles
Horner, of this place, committed sui-
cide by taking strychnine today, under
peouliar circumstances. She was to
have been married at 11 o’ olook today
to W illia m Brock, a grocer. Brock
suggested they take a walk in the cem-
etery, and there he informed her, ac­
cording to her father's statement, that
he was not in a position to marry her.
Upon this she became nervous and said
she wished to be alone. Shortly after,
Brook heard a scream and found her
in convulsions. The father of the girl
was so incensed that he started in quest
o f Brook, swearing to k ill him, but the
latter had left town.

San Francisco, Sept. 29.— Robert
Snowden, who claims to be a journal­
ist, was arrested last night on a war­
rant charging him with felony and em­
bezzlement. The oomplaining witness
is Mrs. Sarah B. W illiams, a middle-
aged widow, of Denver.
She claims
that Snowden, who is 28 years old,
indnoed her to come to San Francisco
on a promise to marry, and then
cajoled her out of her money and
jew elry and disappeared.
Acoording to the woman’s story, she
met Snowden in Denver some months
ago, and, after a brief acquaintance,
consented to marry him. He was in a
harry to get back to tbe coast st tbe
time, and she promised to join him at
any time he sent for her. In pursu­
ance of this sgreement Mrs. W illiam s
started for San Francisco, arriving
here in oompany with Snowden, who
bad gone to Sacramento to meet her, on
August 10.
Tbe young man took the widow to
the Palsce hotel, where she registered
and procured a room. For some rea­
son or another, her intended husband
pnt off the marriage from time to time
until he had succeeded in borrowing
a ll o f her money and jewelry, on one
pretext or another. Then he disap­
peared. Mrs. W illiam s waited pa­
tiently for him to return, but after sev­
eral dayB began to realize that she had
been defrauded and that she was in
debt at a fashionable hotel, with noth­
ing in her purse to warrant her stay.
Mrs. W illiam s waited until her bill
had readied $90, when the hotel man­
agement insisted on payment.
The
w idow explained her position, and was
sent away from tbe hotel, her baggage
being held for her bill. Tbe woman
was utterly penniless, and was com­
pelled to seek shelter in a charitable
institution.
Snowden says be met tbe woman in
Denver through s newspaper personal.

Salem. Or.., tq.pt. 28.— The mem-
°?y ° ‘ Uharles .1. Huiteau, the assassin
of President Garfield, has been revived
here by a display of relics by a busi­
ness house. The collection is the prop­
erty of F. 8. Lull, nephew o f John C.
Lrooker. who was warden of the W ash­
ington city ja il during tbe tim e of
Guiteau’ a incarceration. Am ong the
collection is a piece of the hemp rope
with which the assassin was hanged,
aud also a pieoe of the cotton rope that
his hands were tied with. Each is
about
inches long.
Warden
Crocker died two years ago, but Mr.
Lu ll has a certificate iu his uucle’ s
handwriting that the hemp memento
was out from the rope that hanged
Guiteau. The collection also oonta ins
a bottle of the Band used in testing the
strength of the hangman's rope, a
oribbage board made from the lid of
Guiteau's ooffin, aud a lock of bis hair.
A relio among the collection that at­
tracts special attention is a faosim ile
of the bnllet that was aimed at ths
prisoner by a ja il guard. The bnllet,
after passing through Guiteau’ s ooal
and a photograph iu his pocket, struck
the brick w all and flattened out. The
shape of the lead when picked up bore
such a marked resemblance to the bust
of Guiteau that it was preserved, aud
facsimiles have since been made.
Daring a part of the tim e of the as­
sassin's confinement in ja il, his m ail
matter was two to three wagonloads a
day. It oonsited mostly of letters de­
nouncing Guiteau, ofteu accompanied
with hideous drawings aud pioturea,
and the oontributiou of a bouquet by
one person, Edward Diokey, a W ash­
ington florist. The collection secured
from Mr. L u ll onntaiua a preserved
leaf from the bouquet and the card
whioh aooompanied it. On the o&rd is
inscribed:
“ W e meet in paardise.
Farew ell.”
Another neatly written
card of tbe collection reads:
“ Yon oall yourself G it-tow ,
You villainous, murdering imp;.
But we are glad to know
You surely w ill get hemp.”
A pen-and-ink draw ing pictures a
ja il with an empty cell and a scaffold
in the rear. Below the empty oell is
written:
“ Empty is the oradle,
Charles Guiteau is gone. ”
Another represents Guiteau in agony
jnst after the
trapdoor
baa been
sprung. The picture is designated as
“ the irresistible impulse. ”
A pin, tbe head representing the as­
sassinated president, is accompained
with the Instructions that it be worn

London, Sept. 29.— The wearisome
Arm enian question has almost absorbed
public attention during
the week.
The proposal o f Mr. Gladstone to w it h ­
draw tbe Birtish ambassador from Con­
stantinople and dismiss the Turkish
amabssador here, is discusssed by all
tbe newspapers, bat finds little favor,
and is looked upon as being sim ply a
policy of cryin g “ boo,” which w ill
have absolutely no good effect npon the
sultan.
A l l eyes are now tunred toward B a l­
moral, where tbe arriva l today of the
M arqnis of
Salisbury, it is hoped,
marks a turning point in Great B r it­
ain's position towards the powers.
The British premier w ill stay several
days at Balmoral, and there is little
doubt that he w ill u tilize his tim e in
endeavoring to win from the czar a
recognition o f the disinterested charac­
ter o f Great B rita in ’ s policy toward
Turkey, and arrange a basis for jo in t
aotion, whioh w ill render farther mas­
sacres impossible.
Un the Continent Mr. Gladstone’ s
speech was received d ifferen tly in tbe
various countries. The French press
expressed unusually favorable opinions
of it and even the notorious A n glo-
phobe organ gave it a generous praise.
The Lib re Parole describes it aB the
finest Mr. Gladstone has ever made and
one which stigmatizes most m agn ifi­
cently the orime of European diplom ­
acy in past years.
In faot, the com ­
ments o f the press generally indicate
that France has at last awakened to tbe
enorm ities o f Turkish rule, and ahe
w ill weloome an understanding be­
tween Russia whioh w ill enable them
to take jo in t and effective action at
Constantinople.
In Austria and Germany, however,
tbe newspapers scoff at Mr. Gladsotue’ s
proposal regarding the ambassadors,
which is characterized as fanatical and
frivolous.
The remarkable violence of tbe E ng­
lish agitation wbioh has been conduct­
ed against the sultan is shown by the
character of the epithets which have
been burled at him by the usually m od­
erate-speaking English people.
Mr.
Gladstone’ s epithet o f “ tlje great as­
sassin" seems to have set the fashion,
the Dnke of W estm inster fo llo w in g
w ith "fien d in oarn ate," Earl Spencer
preferrin g “ representative o f a d iab oli­
cal and atrocious governm ent.”
The term applied by W illia m W a t­
son, tbe poet, “ Abdul tbe Damned,”
in his series of sonnets on the A rm en i­
an question, perhaps finds tbe most
freqnent repetition o f any of them.
The press is not behind in its sensa­
tional dealings w ith the subject by the
most lurid headlines in the newspapers
and posters to advertise them. The
Chronicle is printing a series o f “ mur­
der maps’ ’ on the subject.

Charleston, W . V a ., Sept. 29.— A
daring holdup occurred on the Short

came from the W est about a year ago,
learned that W . L. W ilson, bookkeeper
and paymaster of tbe Longdale Com ­
pany, at C liff Top, waa goin g np the
road in the afternoon to pay off tbe
men. W hen tbe train reached a lonely
spot in the mountains, Thompson, who
had boarded the tTain, held np those in
the engine at the point o f a revolver.
He grabbed the money from W ilson
and jumped from tbe engine.
