trembled with Indignation yesterday when ,
In the ofllco of her lawyer , she told the story
of her humiliation , and vowed that any dam-
aces she recovered should bo devoted to INOW
York and Brooklyn charities.
Her brother , George F. Flack , says in his
sworn statement of the occurrence that
led to the suit : "On our arrival ut tlio Man
hattan Beach hotel , about 'J p. in , on

had been ordered from the hotel by the clerk
In charge , who had refused to assign nny
reason for his conduct , but Unit she pre
sumed the cause to bo that she had asked
mo , her brother , to accompany her to her
room in his hearlug.
Clerk Lelaml. who is a member of the
hotel keeping fmnilv of that name , denies
that ho insulted Miss Sterling. It is trim ho
says Unit she was requested to give up her

IJEATittcn , Neb. , July 11. [ Special Tolo-
ftram to TUB Bni ! . ] llut llttlo clso wus
thought or talked of in Ueatrico today but
the 1'utcrbaUKh family tragedy. The city
wus crowded with people from the country
and surrounding towns eager to hear the
latest particulars of the crime , of which they
had yet only learned the main facts of the
killing.
Owing to the lateness of the hour last
night when tlio coroner and correspondents
reached the scene , having to drive out from
hero , nothing but the b.iro facts could bo sent
out , but the InqueH which followed aud con
cluded about ! i o'cloclt ttm morning devel
oped the accouuts mudo-froni a hurried view
of the remains und talxs with the neighbors ,
to bo in the main correct.
There is no doubt that John Puterbaugh
committed the awful deed , yet the complete
ness with which It was accomplished causes
much wonderment. Ono bullet sulUccd for
each life , the revolver being a six-chambered
weapon , and there was just six bullet holes
and an equal number of dead , the weapon
Ivlng by Putorbauifh's side empty.
'
It Is'also believed from the testimony ho
Intended his oldest son , who escaped by
being from home , should die with his parents
and sisters. The son had arranged to bo at a
neighbor's on Friday to assist In sotno work
and concluded to go there Thursday evening
and despite his father's urgent request to
wait until the morultip , fortunately
went. The deed was committed some
time Friday night some believe early Fri
day moniing , as a boy in passing
the hou o at 0 o'clock saw a man about the
barn. Ttio UilTercnco in the color ot the
blood of the murdered ones and that of
Putorbaugh himself favors the opinion that
Puterbaugh killed himself several hours after
ho had murdered the family.
E\ cry acquaintance speaks in the highest
terms of them and they were regarded as an
exceptionally happy and congenial family.
The father was kind and Indulgent , the chil
dren and wife proud in the possesjtou of so
peed a husband and father. The cause of
the act Is attributable only to despondency
over llnnnciul matters.
Puterbuugh recently removed from ncilr
Dlljer to his late hoine , selling bis former
farm. Ho has boon greatly dissatisfied with
his chance and to his friends gave utterance
to snch thoughts. A puvtnent on
his now purchase of about $ .1,000
was duo In September and ho talked
of being unnblo to meet it. Fearful cf trouble
and rather than leave his family to face it
alone is thought to bo the reason of Ills
action.
Ho had placed a sum of money in the cloth
ing of the absent sot ; und apparently faced
his death with unerring and steady resolve.
Six collins were taken out from hero todav
and the family buried together at Dlllor ,
under ttio auspices of the Ancient Order
of United Workman , several hundred attend
ing.
ing.Tho
The scenes enacted since tne crlmo was
discovered weie scarcely over before wit
nessed. A very few were able to stand the
test of viewing the house wherein lay the
bodies.
Sperling , who drove Mrs. Allen to the
house yesterday afternoon and who made the
ghastly discovery upstairs , immediately
afterward lied for home and no amount of
entreaty can get him from his bed
room wherein ho is locked. Ho has been
violently sick over slnco and it is feared ho
will lese bis rnlnd , while Mrs. Allen , sister
of Puterbaugh , was unublo to attend the
burial.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was in
accordance with facts herein stated.

Strongly Opposed to die Duty Ijclvcd
on Kast Indian Wools.
Nr.w YOIIK , July 11. The wool importers
and carpet manufacturers had a hearing yes-
teadiiy before the board of general appraisers
in the matter of protests made by E. S. Higgins -
gins & Co. , H. C. Thatcher & Co. und others
against a decision of the collector. General
Appraiser Somors presided. The point in
volved Is ono of great interest to the carpet
manufacturers , and representatives of the
loading llrms of Now York and Now Eng
land were present at the meeting.
The protest entered is against the exaction
of 100 per cent duty on East India wools ,
which were classlllod by the collector as
"assorted , " pursuant to an order of the treas
ury department issued in March last. Both
importers and consumers are arrayed against
the collector's decision. They hold that the
wools in question are not assorted as the
term is understood in the wool trade , but are
merely separated according to colors , which
they say is always done in importing this
class of wool * . They say further that the
whola fleece is imported , and that sorting is
then necobsiiry before the wool can bo used.
Their argument is that the law imposing the
dutv applies only to the Importing of liner
grades of wool , after the lower grades of the
llecco have been rejected , and cannot apply
to this well-known variety of wool Imported
in Its ordinary condition.
The wool growers have through their coun
sel Hied written arguments upholding the
position taken by the collector. Two weeks
have been given for the counsel of the im
porters to lilo their briefs.
Atnontr the witnesses examined yesterday

Another hearing that took place before
General Appraiser Wilkinson is attracting
the at ten ti on of domestic cutlery manufac
turers. The point at issue is to the lay mind
a rather flno ono. It involves the dis
tinction between a kitchen knlfn and a
cooking knifo. The present tariff imposes
a minimum duty of 10 cents a dozen and ! 50
per cent ad valorem on kitchen knives and § 1
a dozen and 30 per cent ad valorem on cooks'
knives. Importers now , wish to bring in us
kitchen knives what the domestic manufac
turers hold are cooks' knives. Ihe importers
hold that only such knives , say from ten to
twenty inches long , us nro used by cooks to
curve meat , should bo classed as cooks'
knives.
On the other hand the manufacturers con
tend that all imported knives with a crook in
the end of the handle and a ferula at the base
of the blade and with blades tapering to a
point are cooks' knives-no matter what their
length. Samples and prlco lists have been
submitted bv the Meriden cutlorv company
nnn J. Russell & Co. until Colonel Wilkin
son's office looks like an niseual. The repre
sentatives of the two lirms say that they have
never made cooks' knives loss than seven
inches long because under the old tariff their
manufacture was unprofitable. They have
now begun to make small knives In the ex
pectation that they will be protected by the
tariff on cooks' knives. Kitchen knives , they
say , nro only such knives as are used for gen-
ral kitchen work.
Several decisions of importance were
handed down yesterday. The first covers
the protest of the JJuftalo natural gas com
pany against the decision ot the collector of
the port of Buffalo. The Buffalo natural
gas company imports natural pas by pipe line
from Fort Eno , Out. The gas is supplied
by the Provincial natural gas and fuel corn-
pan } of Ontario. Under an opinion of the
treasury department duty was levied at 10
per cent ad valorem , the gas being classified
as nn unmanufactured article not enumerated
The pi otest claims exemption from dutv undfa
two sections of the tariff act llwt as crude
bitumen and second as crude mineral. Owing
to the fact that the gas has a pressure too
great to bo measured by a motor tbo amount
imported has to be estimated from private
meters and ttio books of the two companies.
This the appellants hold to bo un additional
reason why no duty should bo levied. The
opinion , which was prepared by General
Shnrpo , overrules the protest and nflirms the
decision of the collector.
In the matter of u protest made by Spauld-
ing & Co. of Chicago against the Imposition
of duties on mlniuturo paintings as a metal
intended for brooch settings it was decided
that the articles in question were not jewelry
and were not therefore liable for duty as
such. The contention of the Importers that
the miniatures should be classified as paint
ings by colobratcil urtists was sustained by
the court.

Plan of tlio Kansas Alliance to Ho-
HoveIlium. .
Toi'EKA , Kan. . July 11. A sub-committee
of the farmers' alllanco Is In secret session
hero today perfecting a plan by which the
fanners who will bo compelled to moot their
morlgugo indebtedness jioxt fall can borrow
the money to do so.
President McGrathQS. , Hlatt of Leaven-
worth and A. P. Collins.of Salina constitute
the committee. The canimlitoo was appointed
at the last annual m p ing of the alliance
with instructions to , organize so that the
alliaiico could operate directly with the
money-lenders In the east and not bo placed
nt the meroy of the uednts.
President McGrath this morning declared
that this action In Itself-wus n complete lofu-
tatlon of the charge that the alliance farmers
propose to repudiate their Indebtedness. It
will bo the businoss'of the committee to
draft u plan by which- farmers In need of

or-jiiiibaUoii will proUj l Itself against Irre

and their present tinhtieial responsibility.
The whole scheme htltmt carrying out the
plan of co-operation clnong the industrial
classes which every move of the alllanco
within the past two months bus made so
patent.
Tha committee was In session all day dis
cussing plans for the now scheme , but had
come to no definite decision when they ad
journed for the day. The i crfectiou of the
plan u 111 probably conxumu two or three
days. The committee is undecided whether
it fthull attempt to negotiate the loans in the
name of tlio alliance , pledging the entire or
ganization to the payment of tlio note und in
terest , or make each application stand upon
Its own footing.
President McGrath said : "It will tnko us
some time to perfect the plan , Ills u bin
undertaking und will require a great deal of
careful thought. This much Is curtain wo
will attempt to relieve every worthy farmer
iu tbo stuto , These who huvo shown a dis

For ways that are dark and cxceodlnuly
dlnicult of finding out , certain members of
the board of education seem to be "in it" tone
no Inconsiderable oxtnnt. It might have been
supposed that when Frank M. Woolloy loft

buildings the remarkable zcalousnoss with
which wildly extravagant , repair bills were
O. K.'d would suffer something of a setback ,
but such does not seem to have been the ens6
until the new superintendent took chargo.
In the meantime thcro was a space of
twenty-three days , during vvhlch Mr. U'ohrcr
assumed the discharge of Mr. Woolloy's
function ? , and to all appearances it was done
just ns well aj Mr. Woolloy could have done
it hlmiolf.
A heterogeneous collection of just and un
just claims , bearing the stamp of ofllclal ap

and a cheerful charitableness 111 disbursing
school funds that would soon lead to finan
cial disaster if It extended to Mr. Wohror's
private bank account.
Why AVoolley Is .MlHsliiK-
It will bo remembered that it was gently
insinuated that Mr. Woolloy was guilty of
negligence , disrespect to thu board , allowing
the use of shaky and knotty lumber in making
repairs and charging therefor the prlco of
first class material , and of allowing the
board to bo mulcted out of over $ ; > 00 in the
now building at ho Davenport school. A
committee of tbo board , after careful investi
gation , found him guilty on every count , and
ho was discharged before other ac
cusations that slumbered with all nec
essary proof in the secretary's
desk could bo raised against him.
Then it w as that Mr. Wehror began to oxer-
clso a godfuthcrly supervision over cJalms
against the hoard , notably such as hint form
erly appeared on the superintendent's pay
roll.
roll.An
An investigation of the payroll and of the
various buildings discloses some interesting
facts in connection with those claims.
Pretty Uxpeiisive Kcpiiirn.
The claim record shows that during the
month of May repairs amounting to $111.54
and Improvements amounting to $ l.VJ.lo ! , were
paid for as having boon made at the Hartman -
man school. All work done goes under the
head of repairs , Improvement or
construction , according to its nature.
Now , the fact of the matter is that all the
work of this kind that bus been done at the
Hartman school during the past six months
is thatot changing an abandoned school room
in the basement into water closets to take the
place of the outhouses. This of course comes
under the head of improvements , and the cost
was largely covered by contracts awarded by
the board , und over which the superintendent
of buildings would have no control. All that
would cotno under his charge wus the minor
work connected with it , and that is how W.
P. Morrow managed to slip in u bill of $70 for
plastering. Of course it was O.
K'd , and then nothing was more
natural than that it should bo allowed.
The job for which Mr. Morrow so readily
drew $70 was the plastering of the portion of
the walls that had been wainscoted , and in
cluded a space six feet high und seventy foot
long. It would seem that , $70 was a rather
stoop price for plastering less than nfty
yards , but Mr. Wehror evidently thought It
not unreasonable for a capable man like Mr.
Morrow ,
Now then , the Janitor of the building posi
tively declares that the work referred to is
all of that nature that has been done there
for several months , and says that no repairs
have boon made and the only outside labor
performed has boon the removal of
some of the old outhouses and
some incidental filling. In view of
these facts , the question that would
naturally arise in the mind of the avoratro in
quisitive citizen is "What caused that illl.r > 4
bill for repairs ! " Judglnit from the readiness
with which the bill was O. K.'d , Mr. Wehror
is not inordinately inquisitive.
Slumbered and Charged Time.
The Mason school is another place where
the janitor has made all repairs that have
been made for several months past , Never
theless , the ollicial O. K. was the means of
knocking out $ li."o ( on that scoro. Of course
this h a small sum , but this school is only
ono of forty , und a comparatively now ono at
that , so that the aggregate co t of this kind
of repairs would afford ono or two people of
modest pretentious avorycomfortable rake-off.
The genial Mr. Morrow also booms to have
had u predilection for this structure , us a
'Jx4 patch in the ccilintr of the lower hallway
is u monument of his handiwork. The patch
is surrounded by 'ooso plastering that con-
stnnlly threatens to fall , but oven In its
shaking is scon the line Italian band of Mr.
Morrow. True , the janitor wanted him tc
tear off all the loose plastering und make u
good job of it. but he didn't know Mr. Mor
row. Ho foolishly endeavored to save a
little money for the taxpayers , and couldn't
see the advantaso of having another job In
the near future. Ho didn't ktow | that Mr.
Morrow was working earnestly and solely
for Mr. Morrow , but if you don't thluic liq
was just go out and look nt that coiling. I
Just nt the head of the stairway is unotheu
specimen of the same kind of work , and a
reference to the reeoids will toll you that it
cost f'Jl to patch up that fix ? halo where the
water leaked down aud loosened the plaster
ing The records don't show , however , that on
divers occasions the workmen slumbered
sweetly in the shade , or thoughtfully waited
until school was dismissed before raising
their scaffoH , and the taxpayers were as
sessed ? . " ) a day for slumbering and waiting. '
How to Itiiild a Sidewalk ,
Another evidence of business methods In
.school board repairs is furnished by the sidewalk -
walk nt the Farnam street school , There
was a strip of about ono hundred feet loni ;
und two feet wldo , wboro tbo sldowalk
\vus to bo extended close up to the
foil co , Ordinarily it contractor would
think ho had a pudding If ho
received $ . ' 5 for the job , but in this case it
cost SiU.bO. A friend at court , who wrote O.
K. in a miserable hand , bridged the chasm
that might otherwise have yawned for some
body's bill. Perhaps it would bo unjust to
condemn without looking into thu uaso a
little further , so hero is the authentic account
of how the work wus dono.
Two carpenters wont out nt noon ono day
to lay the walk , but tbo lumber wasn't there.
They waited until fi o'clock still no lumber ,
and they adjourned until the following morn
ing , whenth'iy returned , reinforced by one
man. After waiting u while the now man ,
who was unublo to read , pulled u paper from
his pocket and handed it to one of his com
panions.
It was an order for the lumber.
That meant another half-day wait for two'
men , while the third went uftor the plank.
When It cumo It mended matters very little
as spikes were missing , und another wa'it
was necessary. It may sound ridiculous , but
it was exasperating as well ; attlcust that is
what these men thought as they lay there on
the grass , and they charged up full llmo for
It , too.
Time gees on forever , especially for a man
who stands In , and that may explain why
Bill Morrow collected twenty dollar ) for
four days work in plastering half a coiling In
Mrs , Hays' room at thu Durant school.
At that rate Mr. Morrow gets $1,275 every
time ho plasters a .small live-room cottacro ,
but ho wasn't ' working for any humble cot
tager that timo. Of con MO , ho wus working
for thousands of them , but then thut'.s differ
ent. What's the uio In being so particular
and bquoa.nlsh iu public affairs , any how (
It unreasonable ; at leuit that's ' what Mr ,
Mr. Wehror thinks , and if ho Insists on run
ning thln.'s In his blg-hoar'ed , froo-and-oasy
way , what are folks going to do about Iti
Walt and BOO.

Another Divorce Court Scandal.
Mrs , Ella K. Quackonboss bocun suit today
for divorce against her husband , William A.
Qmickonhoss , In which she charges him with
a series of cruelties so diabolically devised
and persistently executed that humuu
mind can scarcely believe them true.
She married Qunekentmss in I S7 and
shortly after they removed to St. Paul ,
where , for the llrst time , her husband un-
imiskcd himself and showed tils true colors ,
Mrs. Quui'kuiiboss said , among oilier
things , ho ordeiod her to black his boots.
This she compiled with and continniul so
long as they lived together. On n cold and
dismal night her husband ordered her to
sleep In the barn. For the lirtt time aha
i of used , and was told to obey or leave the
house forever. SI'o ' llnnlly went and did as
ho commanded , sleeping In u llttlo attic with
lltllo or no protection from the cold It was
after throoor four appeals that her husband
admitted her to the house the lolloping
morning. Then ho added to her misery by
ordering her to remain in the house , com
pelling her to go to bed ami commanding her
to remain there until ho returned in the
evening.
This she did without eating ritivthlng nil
day. This punishment was kept up for some
timo. FJniiUv ho ordered his now thoroughly
worn out wife to net as groom to his horses.
This request she also compiled with und for
several months she toiled hard , doing all the
work of a stable hand. One day the wife
thought she discovered a condition that
ivould lead her husband to treat her moru
Kindly. She acquainted him with the news
that Mia was about to become a mother.
This statement only served to make him
moro surly and unkind. Ho ordered bis wife
to get a doctor and undergo a systomatlo
treatment. Not satisfied with this , ho com
pelled her to walk from ten to fifteen mlles
dally und upon her return she was accorded
only bread and water for her meal. Unublo
to endure this treatment uny longer she
carao to Chicago and sued1 for divorce.
