was biting cold , but none of the mourning
thousands allowed it to prevent them from
discharging their labor of respect and love
Thj tmln from Volosca boarlng the ro-

to pay the last . silent hoinngo of
tears to tbo romnlns of the great dead Hy
some mistake the cortcgo cros33d the river
by the Margaretto bridge , so that many
thousands who had collected on the sus
pension bridge were robbed of the reward of
their patience
In the magnificent restlbulo of the
academy the atmosphere was fragrant with
Unwers from many lands from sunny Italy
as well as foggy England an 1 there were
not a low from Paris , where the handsome
Gyala lived so many years before the des

tnu comn of yellow oan wit h tnasslvo silver

of the compound article bavo been fighting

would provldo for the issu.inco of silver cer

silver dollars are not needed in commercial

purchase obligatory upon the secretary of

is to bo reported nnd in its
stead the option of coinage or issuauco of

Windom bill is that it makes silver simply a

tary authority to suspend the purchase at

about flvo feet seven Inches tall , aud weighWU
Ing probably ono hundred aim flftv-llvo M
pounds Hu may bo twenty-four joirs of M
acre , ami is quito sprightly in nppcarnncc H
The Hrst thing leading to the present ac- H
cus.ition npninat the young man was the fact H
th it ho had stolen cattle , atiu that the mur- j WM
dcror of the Jones couple had ulso tnkon a H
bunch of cattle with him It appeared that H
11 man should bo oxporic-iccd in the business H
of handling cattlu before ho would think of H
such a theft , and the fact of a H
young mnn of Cuton's description being nr- H
rested hero on bucIi n charge made the case , H
look easy H
Caton at once disposed of bis theft hero , H
procondlng in a buslncssliko manner It wus H
while ho wns finishing tbo dual that the cattle - H
tlo owners came up nnd caught the thief H
Caton told conflicting stories , und fiiiallv con H
fessed that be was the thief Hu gave no account H
count of himself further than that bo was M
needing money Persons who roincmborcd H
him from descriptions published Wednesday H
morning say J hat they had seen the young H
, man about , tlio Fountain theater , a low resort - M
sort , for several days , and that ho appeared M
to have plenty of money to throw away on , .
thu wiuo girls aud actrosscs
Being pustte " d'n6r his ' sTofy , Caton said that
he- came from Omaha , and that ho had
worked on a farm near that city Among
bis effects were four pawn tickets on Kansas
City shops Each ruprcsontod a gold watob
'Iho pawn tickets were all made out In the
nn-no of Livingstone , n clrcumstnnco
which ho could , not explain When
asked how bo enmo by so many
watches , ho snid that timepieces ,
were his hobby , and that he had worked
hurd for them on tbo Omaha farm
Inquiry at disreputable resortu by The Ueb
correspondent duvoiops that Caton was seen
a great deal among the tough element about
town for a week or bo , the date of his sudden
appearance not having boon recalled
The dotectlvos putCaton's various stories
togcther as best they would Ut , and getting
the facts connected with the Jones murder
they thought they had u tangible clue They
learned thut the murderer was known to
bavo bought watches in Omaha , and it was
nlso loirned that "Dr , Caton Livingstono of
1(3 ( Bluff street , Kansas City , " was un ad
dress the murderer had given to some ono
'Tbo fact that the young cowj thlof gave
the name of Caton , and that ho pawned his
watches in ' .ho name of Livingstono , makes
the case against hiin look very bad Bluff
street bore runs no further down than
Fiftir , and nf course there could bo 110 103 of
that stroct The directory does not glvo the
name of Dr Caton Livingston
Caton is not un unpleasant follow at first
meeting Ho wears gold eye glasses with ,
a chala attached , much after the
fashion of a person not tu such
habit long Ono plain gold ring deco
rates uno ot his left llngors , while his bands
show evidence of hard work Ho lias a
restless eye that will not stand a gaze of
thirty sneonds and his general manner car
rles with it a slight suggestion of cunning ,
( lis talk is quick and oonius oouchol In qulta
good Lngllsb , His manner Is not bad , and
rather more aug osts that of a college bred
man than of an unoduo itod parson
This afternoon , before the shorlff bad
heard of the accusation of murJor , ho was
talking with Caton of thu bU O.naha orimo
Thu prlsonor lookoJ at tha lloor ratloctivoly
and Bald :
"Jonosl Jonosl Lot mo see Yes , I
know some people in Omaha by the name
of Jones , but that was live months.or moro

After his arrnst for cattle stealing Citon
claimed that ho hal bought the cattle from
Farmer Green forfeit ) . When asked why bo
had pawned the watches ho said bo bad been
bard up at thu time , but when this admission
was followed by tbo query as to where the
t220 ho paid for tbo cows came from , ho could
only reply that it bud baon sout to him since
As ono of the tickets was dated February
14 , this gave him an oxcoodlngly small mar
gin for the truth Dotectlvos were at onoa
senlbut to look up the watches and tholr
