Jtrlnl this mornmjj. Ho tcstincd tlint
the carpet bought by "J. II. Slrnonds" Feb
ruary lust wan laid by him ( ttio witness ) on
the floor of the room at 117 Clarlc street.
Witness \vas then shown a piece of the carpet
presumably from the Carlson cottage , and
ho Identified It as identical in pattern with
that which ho laid In the Clark street room.
Jonaa Carlson , owner of the cottugo , was
the next witness. Ho coroboratcd the testi
mony of Ills daughter-in-law. Anna , about ,
the stranger coming to rent the coltugo. Ho
went on to say that the stranger , who gavq
the name of Frank Williams , said ho had
thrco brothers ana his sister waj to como
from Hnltlmoro to keep house for them. Ho
.hull bought furniture und it woqld urrlvo In
two or thron days. The stranger then took
the key. Witness said ho had mot und
talked with O'SullIvun , ono of the defend
ants , many times. O'Sullivun lived In ttio
Immediate vicinity.
After the shipping clcrir , delivery man and
otltcr employes of Kcvlll'a ' 'hud testified the
first Important witness of ttio day , Mrs.
Anna Carlson , was placed on the stand.
The .young wonmn bccan her testimony
very timidly and at times her voice wns al
most Inaudible. She rclnted how on the SUtll
of Marcn , wudo she was at the Carlson cot
tage , a man came to rent the cottage which
stood near. He Raid his sister was keeping
bouse for him and that ha had some furni
ture ho wanted to move in at once. Ho gave
his name as Frank Williams.
"Mrs. Carlson , " nskod the counsel for the
etato , "do you sco that stranger in the court
room now I"
"Yes , sir.11
"Will you point him out to the Jury ? "
"There ho Is. " The witness pointed di
rectly to Martin Burke.
"Doyou mean Mnrtln Burke , that man ? "
continued Mills , pointing to Burke again.
"Yes , " responded thb witness , mid that
ended her examination.
On cross-examination Mrs. Carlson testi
fied that Bho had never seen Burke from the
day ho entered the cottngo until n few days
ago when she cumo into the court room to
identify him , yet she recognized him im
mediately.
At the afternoon session Jonas Carlson
was recalled. He snld the stranger uflcr
renting the cottage walked over to O'Sulli-
vnn's stable , where ho met the ice man and
talked with him.
The next time the witness saw I3urko it
wns about 8 p. m. of May 4 , a. few hours
before Cronln was murdered.
At 7 o'cloctc that evening the witness
beard two men talking in the cottngo. In
April the witness hud u conversation with
O'Sullivnn about the men who hud rented
the cottnco. . O'Sulllvan told him ho know
ono of them was all right and would pay the
rent when due.
On May 10 Carlson had another conver
sation with O'Sulllvan in which ho told tbo
latter the cottugo was vacant and tnat ho
bad received a letter from the man who had
rented it asking him ( Carlson ) to put the
furnlturo In the basement , und saying ho
bed painted the parlor floor to suvo his sister
tbo trouble of scrubbing.
On May 20 the witness entered the blood-
Btulncd cottage. Ho described the condi
tions there apparent. Mr. Mills then uskcd
how many times ho had seen a man railing
bimaclf Frank Williams. Carlson replied ,
"Three times. " Mr. Mills then said :
"I will nsk you if you see that man nowl"
The witness looked in a bewildered way to
the back of the court In an endeavor to pick
out from the sea of faces before him the inuu
ho wanted.
"Look back of the lawyers , Mr. Carlson , "
said Mills , as the old gentleman hesitated.
Ho had hardlyuttored the words when the
witness , walking straight up to Martin
Burke , shook his hat at him and exclaimed :
"Tliat's the man. "
Despite his utmost efforts to appear uncon
cerned it was evident Burke fully realized
the damaging nature of old mini Carlson's
testimony. Mills was not slow to clinch his
advantage.
"Is that the man 1" ho asked ( Indicating
Mnrtln Burke ) , "you called Frank Will-
lumsl" and the wituos1 * unhesitatingly an-
iwered :
"Yes sir. "
Carlson was cross-oxamlnod nt great
length , but his testimony wns unshniton.
John Garrity , a teamster , testified that
about two years ago Coughlin told him ho
wanted to BOO "Major" Sampson.
Ho wanted to got him to "slug a man. "
Ho wanted the man disfigured for life , and
If ho wns killed it wouldn't make much dif
ference. Adjourned.
In regard to the alleged confession of
Bunco , told by Prisoner Qillotto , at Winni
peg , yesterday , the chief of police Is looking
up that part of Gillette's story In which ho
Bponks of the murderer getting money in nn

THE BEI : . ] A verdict for the defendant was
rendered by a Jury in Judge Clifford's ' court
, o-day in the case of Samuel W. Wagner
against Jnnics B. Peabody , a broker on tbo
board of trade. Wagner sought to recover
$3,000 In money which ho invested in grain
through Peabody , ns Wagner claimed , for
the benefit of the heathen. The plalntlft was
a foreign missionary enthusiast , who said ho
thought God would forgive the means In con
sideration of the end sougnt , which was to
secure more money than ho had to spend for
the relief of the untutored swages of the
Congo. The $ . ' 1,000 invested was a loss , and
Mr. Wagner made the claim that ho had
Informed Mr. Peabody of his philanthropic
motives , and that Mr , Pcnbody had not been
impressed with Mr. Wagner's reasons for
taking a "flyer In wheat. " It wns agreed by
counsel for Mr. Peabody that" it made no
difference what the purpose of the specula
tion was , whether it was for the heathen or
for Mr. Vvagner's own use. The rules and
practices were the same in all cases , and
Mr. Wagner took his chances just like any
body elso. Besides , the counsel said. Mr.
Poaoody had only Mr. Wagner's word for it
that his motive was philanthropic and not
sollish. The jury was asked to compel Peabody -
body to return the losses which the lluctua-
tions in prices entailed , hut after being out
several hours the jurors came to the conclu
sion that if Mr. Wagnur had boon successful
ho would nothavo "kicked , " and they decid

A Son. Captain's Daughter Suicides
nhd Leaves a Striumo Ijottrr.
SAN FiiANcisco. Nov. 1 , | Special Tele
gram to Tuc BEE. ! Ida Henrietta Schram ,
seventeen years old , dropped dead this after
noon while visiting her mother at the out
skirts of the town. It was thought at first
that death resulted from heart disease. An
examination ut the morgue , howovcrsbowed ,
it to bo a casa of suicide.
Ida lias icon living with her father and
stepmother , and to-day visited her mother ,
who had been divorced. Her father is the
captain or the ship Harvester , against whom
the sailors on the last trip made charges of
brutality at sea , wbich somehow or other
were suppressed. Ida made thrco deep water
voyages with her father. A letter in the
dead girl's pocket intimates that her father
is guilty of some awful crime. It is ad
dressed to her mother.- The writer says
that for years her father had been
beating her , and he and a friend had offered
bcr $10,000 , to say nothing about a certain
mutter. Ida intimates that if the affair was
known to the police her father would bo
hanged , and that tnough she is about to die
her mother must not tell.
An autopsy showed that the unfortunate
girl was a virgin , and the inference is that
ttio father IB guilty of some crlmo nt sea ,
possibly the murder of a sailor. Ho was
placed by all the seamen at this port as on a
par with Captain Sparks , of the notorious
ship Gatherer , for cruelty.

WASHINGTON. D. O. , Nov. 1. 1
President Harrison Intends to Issua n proc
lamation , or two proclamations , to-morrow
admitting North and South Dakota.
There will bo some delay about the admis
sion of Montana and Washington. North
Dakota will como first In order. Thcro bas
been some discussion ot the proclamation
and speculation as to how the senators of
thcso states will regulate the length of their
terms , or rather bow the senate will dispose
of the question. All of the several terms will
bo settled by lottery and the various senators
will have an equal chance at the long and
short terms. The senate Is apportioned Into
three classes , drvtdeo PS nearly equal as pos-i
siblo , so tbut two-thirds of the ontlro senate
will bo elected for two years. At present
there nro twenty-flvo senators whoso terms
expire m-lSOl , twenty-flvo In 1S93 and twenty-
six In 1003. It will bo seen that the short , or
two and four year terms , have ono senator
less than the long or six year
terms. According to all precedents the
next state admitted will bo given two and
four year senators BO as to make the class of
1891 and 1S93 oven with the class of ISO.'j ,
Under the existing net und according to
the proposed proclamation North Dakota
will ho first admitted and will fill the two
short term classes of senators , providing the
senators nro hero when the session begins.
Tbo two senators from North Dakota will
draw lots for the two and four year terms
or classes und will bo thus assigned.
The next state admitted will bo South
Dakota , and hero the senators will draw lots.
The first drawing will determine which of
them shall sccuro the long term. Then the
remaining senator will draw to sco whether
ho secures the four or two year term. The
next admitted , probably Washington , will
draw first for the class loft short by South
Dakota's selection. The remaining senator
will draw for the loner class not selected by
his colleague. By this method It will
not bo possible for any two
senators from nno state to receive
terms of equal length and it will bo in ac
cordance with the iiothod adopted by the
first senate in 1789. Whenever a now state
has been admitted-tho senate has assigned
the senators according to the resolution of
the above duto.
When Minnesota was admitted m 1858 a
joint resolution wns passed by the Minnesota
seta legislature requesting the senate to ad
mit Henry M. Rico to the long term. The
resolution was referred to the United States
senate committee on judiciary , which re
ported buck that in accordance with a reso
lution of May 14,17S9 , and the constitution ,
the senators from Minnesota shall draw lots
for the classes to which they shall bo as
signed. It so happened that Senator Shields
drew the short term , and in choosing from
the two remaining classes Senator Uyun se
cured the long term.
Senator Pottlgrow , of South DaKota , has
said that ho was willing to take the short
term. This kind of an arrangement can't bo
rccocnized ; the usual method of drawing
must determine which shall fill tbo long and
which the short term.
THE VIllOINIA ELECTION.
A large number of Washington people will
go into Virginia on Monday and remain to
see the close of the campaign and see the
balloting on Tuesday.
Trouble at the polls is expected in some
localities , notable at Richmond , where it is
understood the state militia is to bo ordered
out. ostensibly to "preserve the peace , " but
really to frighten the neeroes.
United States Marshal Dan Ransdcll ,
Third Auditor'W. II. Hart and THE BEG
correspondent will be in Richmond Monday
night ana Tuesday morning , returning hero
in the afternoon of that day. Colonel W. W.
Dudley said to Tun BEI : correspondent this
afternoon tnnt General Mahono would very
likely bo elected and , although the names of
colored men were stricken from the rcgis-
trary books by tbo hundred in some places ,
there would bo enough votes cast to elect
Mahono. But in the very botbed of fraud
and intimidation little can bo hoped for , aud
I do not bollcvo Mahono will bo the next
governor of the stato. The democrats are
desperate in their determination to defeat
him and to do it will resort to anything , oven
bloodshed.
BONDED APPOINTMENTS DEITERKEU.
It was announced at the treasury to-day
that there will bo no more appointments of
bonded officers until congress assembles.
The period still intervening between ibis and
the session la so very short that the secretary
of tno treasury believes it would not bo
worth while to make appointments and have
the appointees give bond , when as a matter
of fact their appointments may not bo con
firmed by the senate. It is recognized that
us Is usual with all administrations there are
some appointments in the departments which
may not < > a confirmed by tno senate and to
whoso otiiecs tlio president will probably
nomiuatu now men. 'ibis determination to
make no moro bonded appointments
was reached at a recent cabinet mealing and
tlio line of policy announced this morning at
the treasury was later in the day also ac
knowledged in the postofllco department ,
and , except under circumstances absolutely
requiring immediate action , there will bo no
moro Important appointments in either tlio
treasury or the postoflleo until congress
meets.
aOINO HOME TO VOTE.
Nearly every employe In the exoeutivo de
partments who can vote In either of the states
of Ohio , Virginia , Maryland , New York or
Now Jersey , will leave Washington between
to-morrow and Sunday night for
the purpose of exercising his
franchise. The trams to-morrow night will
bear away hundreds of republicans and dem
ocrats , lor the latter are not deprived of
their privilege now. In iiomo of the depart
ments the employes find a difficulty in the
way of obtaining leaves of absence. This is
caused by a decision of Attorney General
Garland , which was made February 21,183(1 ( ,
and which has been reissued by Attorney
General Miller. The decision Is that when
a member lus had during tbo year a leave
of absence of thirty days on account of sick
ness ho Is not entitled to any further leave
durinc that year with pay , but If it happens
that ho has enjoyed the regular annual leave
of thirty days then bo can hnvo leave of nb-
sonco on account ot Hicluicss forany length
of llmo the bead of the department may do-
tormina to allow. It Is claimed that this
decision works an iujusticons it deprives an
employe of his regular annual leave in the
event that ho should happen to bo tuken sick
before the ( eave Is granted. In the Interior
department the rule tbcro Is that each cm-
ployo is entitled to a regular annual leave
of thirty duys If ho should happen to bo
sick during any time in the year the absence
Is not charged to the regular leave , hut a
separate account Is kept.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Omnba Is reaping a barvoit of advertising
from the rccont visit of tbo international
American congress. Nearly all of tbo lead-
tig eastern papers have spoken In their
news or editorial columns of the haudsomo
entertainment afforded tbo visitors by the
jeoplo of Omaha and In the most compll-
iiontary terms they refer to the city's
growth , wealth , onterprlso and bright fu
ll ro.
This Is an era of private secretaries. Not
only do all public officials of note hnvo
irlvnto socrotarlos , but nil busy private In
dividuals , as well. Even the wives of public
men are securing tbo services of stenograph
ers. Mrs , Levi P. Morton has engaged the
services of Miss Nolllo Hunt as private sec
retary. Miss Hunt U the daughter of Gar-
field's serotary of the navy and Arthur's

Secretary Noble to-day rendered n decision
In n well known Iowa Indian depredation
claim. It is that of Joseph Lconla , of Wood-
oury county , lown , amounting to $3-lOO. The
depredation Is alleged to have been commit

of $1,000 , but his claim was not presented
within the time required bylaw , und Itisdls-

In two and a half years l om to-day.
SccretnVy Proctor will renew the recom
mendation of bis predecessors in bw forth
coming annual report that congress provide
for an assistant secretary of war. The de
partment is ono of the lamest of the govern
ment and at present whenever the secretary
leaves the city the prosldnnt designates the
acting secretary. It thus happens in the
latter case that some officers of the army are
ivquircd to reuort to subordinates , and
among them there is n feeling that they
would rather have a civilian in the office.
The cruiser Charleston has been formally
accepted by Secretary Tracy.

CHICAGO , Nov. 1. fSpoolal Tolosram to
Tim BKE. ] Chairman Abbott , of the West
ern Status Passenger association , to-day
sent out a circular letter to members of his
association containing the following from
Judge Cooley , chairman of the intor-stuto
commerce commission :
'Object lessons nro ttpt to bo the most 1m-
jrcssivo tenohors , mid what is taught
iheroby is most ucrtaln to bo remembered
tml acted upon. 1 dcsiro to call .your niton-
lou and through you the attention of your
assocmtcs to thu question whether the rail
roads of the country are not now giving the
niblle an object lesion which Is certain to
m press the public mind that regular passon-
tcr rates nro altogether too high ,
n imposing such rn tcs it la
ot course assumed that the rates
are in-escribed as a reasonable compensation
for the service nctuully-purforiuod for these
who are to pay thorn. But has not the pub-
lo abundant reason for bclluvlm. that con-
sldcraulo numbers of persona nro all tbo
while being improperly curried free , the cost
of their carriage tending necessarily to kceb
up the usual rates charged to these who puyj
This , bowover , Is not the part of ttio lessen
to which I wish moat particularly to direct
attention now. The extraordinary manner
in which the privilege to give excursion rates
s abused Is a much greater wrong to these
who pay the customary rules than in oven the
proper frco transportation. That privllcco
might bo exorcised as the law eoalem-
Mates without wronging tiny ono , bo-
: auso it would tend to crcato a
justness for special occasions that
would not otherwise exist , and
the cost of which would bo moro than mot by
the returns. But that it is Improperly otfor-
clscd when the excursion rates only tend to
; ut the regular rates , is unquestionable.
Moreover , you can not full to know that ex
cursion tickets in great quantities are issued
with an understanding , expressed or Implied ,
that the condition of issue shall not be en
forced and that they , or nt least the return
part thereof , may be used instead of regular
tickets , tbo consequence being that unon the
same trains there are persons ut nil times to
bo found , some of whom huvo paid for their
passage twice or more than twicoas much ns
others , though neither In law or morals is
there reason for any oifforon co. The public
sees that , us incidental to this method of con
ducting tbo business ofjtransportlng pursoiiH
by rail , tbo carriers furnish support und the
opportunity for largo profits to a consider
able number of persons in all sections or tbo
country In a business that ought not to exist
nt nil the business known ns that of ticket
broker or scalper. Sometimes thcso per
sons uro made use of directly us n means of
cutting rates , more often indirectly , whereby
the same end is accomplished. But whether
used directly or indirectly , the effect on the
traveling public is the same the coat of sup
porting them and their business fulls upon
the public und their profits tend to keep
rates excessive. . ,
In view of these facts the following ques
tions naturally nrlso ;
1. Wtyen the railroad companies thus dis
tinctly give tlio public to understand that'
their regular rates uro moro" than
a fair remuneration for the services
performed for these i who pay them ,
why should not the fact bo stated with equal
distinctness by the commission in its official
communications )
2. If persons charged the regular rates
should complain of them as excessive , and
brinf ; out the facts nbovo stated as proof ,
how would the railroad companies undertake
to show that complaint to bo not well taken !
Very respectfully yours ,
'I'll OMAS M. COOLKT , Chairman. "
The nbovo remarkable letter has called out
moro comment than any yet issued by-Chair
man Cooley in bia official capacitn. In the
main the comments are to the effect that tt.o
commission is right In stirring up the un.
mitigated evil referred to In Judge Cooloy'a
letter. It bus put a continued slight on the
commission , and of which Chairman Cooley
1ms often spoken in vain. Adverse com
ments are ns thick as the favorable ones ,
some especially savage outbursts being heard
in regard to the commission attending to its
own purposely delayed business. The letter
has already created a profound impression ,
and is moro than likely , if threats are to bo
believed , to lead to un outbreak which will
cr.d in a determined effort on the part ot the
roads to provo the unconstitutionallty of the
