"Fiom the evidence I Imvo gathered and from Investigations I have made , I believe theio was a murder commit ted In Noil'olk hiHl summer and It was micee'SHfully covered tip by the man who did the deed " That IB the slaitltng statement made today by a detective who has been Investigating a cano In which one local constable and a private citi zen have ( insisted. That the iiiieged victim of the crime was a man from Colorado who came to Norfolk with a huge amount of money on his person , is the belief of the detective , who eleclaics he has found tt Impossible to tlnd the body of the \lctlm which he believes , has been elthei buried or seeieted some- whoie in the vicinity of Norfolk. In quiries made in Colorado for n missIng - Ing man who could answer to the de scription ghen by the detective have not borne tiuit , but the investigation still goes on in a quiet way. One man , who the sleuth believes may know much about the crime , is being shadowed , but the fact that the body of the supposed \ictlm cannot be found , may result In nothing but n long drawn out boarch. Came With Money ; Disappears. Aceoiding to the stoiy and evi dence of the detective , the supposed Colorado man came to Norfolk with money enough to buy out a small busi ness which was for sale in this city. On the night of the strangei's disap pearance , he was scon in a heated ar gument with a man whom the detec tive intimates was interested in the business , and the next morning the stranger had dlsappeaied The man with whom he was seen also disap peared the bamo day without lea\ing any woi 1 with a lolatlve , who declar ed the man had not been heaid from Another peison with whom the latter was associated left his boauling place without his hat or coat on the night of the supposed crime , and was not heaid tiom again. The hat or coat has not yet been called for and the last been of him was when he left the house diossrd with only his shirt , trouseis an ' shoes. The detective believes this man also mot with totil play or else had some thing to do with the crime , because it has been impossible to locate him. Findb Sign of Struggle. So quiet has the investigation been going on that even those who are lo cated at the place have not discover ed the searchers at vvoik in a cellar where the detective declaies he and another man have discovered signs of a struggle and other evidences which pave them the first Intimation that something unusual had occurred. Another ! act learned by the detec tive , which helps to bear out his al legations , Is that the man who he believes - lieves committed the murder , had no money on the night of the supposed crime , and no visible means of ob taining monoy. This man , however , accidentally exhibited largo amounts of money just before he disappeared the day after the supposed crime had been committed. "Although I have hunted without success. " says the Not folk citizen in terested in the case. "I am almost positive something happened on the night the business tiansaction was supposed to have been made" Is a College Director.

How "Rum , Romanism and Rebellion' Phrase Was Uttered. William C Hudson in 'Random Re collections of an Old Political Repoit i" The "Uum , Romanism and Re jellion incident was the tinning poln n the campaign ot IS84 On Wcdnes lay. Oct : . ' ! > , 1S81 , less than a week lofore the election , 1 met Senator iorman as he descended the stans from his room in the national demo atic headquarters He was dull gloomy and wearied in manner , quite : lie reveise of his buoyant habit. As : ie teached the bottom step he said "I want to get away into the fresl lir tor a time I'm going to lide ( hrough Cei'tral park and 1 want . companion. Come with me. " As we stopped at headquaiters the enator said. "Come w ith me to my room. I wan to go to West Virginia as soon as can. There are some matters to bo attended to on Friday and Saturday that 1 must turn over to you for execu tion. " We were engaged on these matters when we heard some one come up the stairs in great haste. In a mo ment Col. John Tracey , the head ol the newspaper bureau , plunged lute the loom so much out of breath by leason of his haste and excitement that he could not speak could only point to the pages of the paper he had. Gorman took the papers from his hand and on leading the words pointed out straightened up with ii stait and earnestly read the context The words pointed out were "Rum Romanism and Rebellion1" It was the practice of the news bur can of the committee to send ii stenographer to take \erbatim reports of all republican functions that wer < open to the public. The same prac tice as to democratic functions was followed by the republican news bur eau. In puisuance of this practice . ' stenographer had attended the minis terial visit to Elaine at the Fifth Ave nue hotel and had taken down tin speeches made by the Rev Dr. Burch ard and by Mr. Ulaine. Returning U his desk he had written out the re port and turned It over to Col. Tracey who ran It over In the hope that hi might find something to feed out ti the newspapers. Ho had come upoi the words and had instantly apprecl ated their tremendous significance. As Senator Gorman ran over thi pages of Elaine's speech he asked : "Is this a verbatim report ? " "Every word uttered is there , " re plied Col Tiacey. "Surely , " said Gorman sternly "Elaine met this remark ? " "That Is the astounding thing , " salt Tracey , excitedly "He made no refei ence to the words. I have confirms that fact , " Finally , Senator Gorman spoke , hi voice cracking like the snap of whip "This sentence must bo In ever ; dally newspaper In the country tomoi row , no matter how , no matter who it costs. Organize for that Immed ately , Col Tracoy. And It must b { opt allvo for the lest of the cam- iiilgii " As Col. Tracey left the loom with nil powem , Senator Got man said. "If anything will elect Cleveland Iie.se winds will do It.

ASQUITH IN TROUSERS. In Turkish Costume the British Pre mier's Wife Danced a Pas Seul. Marreau , Switzerland , Feb. 19 There was a lively fancy diess ball which Mis. Asqulth played a huge pait in oigani/lng. Some of the Ii esses wei ! st liking , but none moie Hi than her own gold biocaded Tuik- Ish tiouser costume. When the fun became furious , she danced a pas sen ) In the center of the floor , vvhllo the company marveled at the unconven- tlonality of the Eritish pi line minis ter's wife. This lecalls a tamons incident in her younger days , when as Mai got Tennant , she caused a ticmendous rensation by entertaining a company at a Melton hunt ball , with a skirt dance. Mrs. Herbert Asqulth Is one of Eng land's fovoiite conversational topics. When nothing else is going on theie always is something In which Mrs. As qulth Is concerned to talk about , or else she does something then and there to make conveisatlon. Mrs. As- qulth first became widely known out side of England when , as Margot Ten- nant , she was made the heroine of E. F. Benson's novel "Dodo. " Moie re cently she > vas diagged into notoriety thiough William Watson's poem , "The Woman Witii the Serpent's Tongue" The poem created a gieat sensation at the i line of Its appearance , and Watson's Known hostility to the As- qniths immediately disclosed Its ob- lect. Later , after he came to Ameri ca , Watson admitted that Mis. As qulth was the woman he had icferied to and his excuse for the poem was that Mrs. Asqnlth and hot husband were traitorously trying to wreck the liberal party. Some time after the appealance of the poem there was gossip that Mrs. Asqulth and her husband were to sep- aiate. Daughter of one of the ilch men of England , Mrs Asquith , before her marriage was a gieat favorite of Mr. Gladstone , and her Influence in so ciety was such as to gain for young women a much less restricted posi tion. In spite of her disturbing free dom in society she counted leading statesmen , men of liteiary , scientific and musical tame , in her train , and her appearance in the gallery of th house of commons gave /est to what ever debate was on hand. She wap the creator of a semi-mystic , semi-lit- eraiy society called the Souls , and with Arthur Ealfour as her lieutenant in the movement , she gathered some of the best minds in England about her. her.In In time the newspapeis came seriously ously to chronicle the doings of Mlsc Margot Tennant as they would those of the queen and prime minister , and when the irate conservatives in so ciety were at end of all patience wltli the gay , clever , sarcastic little Phills tine , she overtuined all their predlc tions by giving her hand in marriage to one of the ablest and most seilous young politicians , Mr. Asqulth. As If to prove the Infinite variety 01 her talents , Mrs. Asquith for severa years settled clown at once to the duties of wifehood and motherhooc and showed as maiked a capacity foi these gra\er callings as for the light est frivolities.

"It has been agreed , " said Mr Ste phens , "to have the caucus resolution called before the house Monday. Those democrats who favor the spe cial committee Investigation , Includ ing all three of the Nebraskans , In tend to defeat the caucus measure and offer one of our own.

TELLS OF THE HANGING. Description of the Scene Around the Chicago Jail. Chicago , Feb 19. "How did my boy die ? " | It wasn't a mother or a father ask ing the question. It was a deputy sheriff , who stood on the gallows look Ing down at the swinging form of an 18-year-old boy about whoso neck he had fastened a rope five minutes bev fore. "Wasn't his neck broken ? " insisted the deputy , talking to one of the doz en doctors who were examining the * boy's body. When the doctor answer cd the affirmative the deputy Bteppci back from the trap-hole satisfied. What > ou see at a hanging is one thing ; it fihows you what society I doing to criminals.

"I'm an old baud in this hanging loom I've ' pen seventeen hangings here " There was the shuffle of feet on the lion floor and the procession walked onto the gallows from an upper tier. There was a priest , in white , officers in bine and two men roughly dressed the ShiblawsU brothers. \11 you could hear was the mur- nun of the piiest's piayer , and the murmur of the men , who icpeated his woids in low tones. What were they saying9 What kind of a prayer do men make on a gallows ? No one could heai their woids. The brotheis kissed the cioss which the priest held to them. While this was going on their legs and arms were be ing strapped Wo tried to hear what they were saying as the deputies put a white shroud about their bodies , but we stopped trying when the white caps were tied over their heads Ev- eiybody secriod to be working slowly on the gallows Ono hi other turned his muffled head towaid another. We heard the murmur of his voice. "Crash1" That was the next sound Then came the scuffling of the feet of fourteen doctors , as they walked to the two bags , their contents twitching , which hung from the swaying ropes. The reporters rushed to a back room , where their telephones and tele" graph wires had been placed I caught there bits of news as they talked1 "Just as the writhing body of the boy stopped swaying" "Strangled and gurgled. " "Twitched like cats In a bag" "Oh , is that you taking my stuff , Bill ? Great show Three more to come. " What , in Christmas , was that pray er ? " said one reporter. "I don't know. Tell your office to look it up in the prayer book. They can copy It from that. " Two men were fixing up two othei ropes.
