veiled tlio scene of thu McCuhbins tragedy
tins afternoon. The .lessons ranch , where
t In * immlnr took pliico , Is located Ilireoand
onrhiilf niilra north ot Leigh , Neb , , Justin
t be edge of Stunton county.
The house Is a one-story three-roomed
Mj-ui'turo with a porch on the south and went
sidn. To the east about IHty yards is a largo
barn and cattle corral. About , two hundred
rods iluo cast of the McL'nbbiiis bou.so Is the
residence occupied by Krastus Dennis , an
employe of the ranch.
Prank Yob , tlio llrst victim of Mcl'tibhlns'
wrath Is a young man about twenty yours of
age and live feet nine Inches In height. It
scorns ho came In from the barn about 8 n. in.
nftcr doing some chores and had gone to his
room to remove his outer coat when Mcl'ub-
bins followed him to the door of the had room
with a revolver and llrod two slioti In quick
succession , ono shot taking effect In his right
sddo Just lielow the breast hone nnd ranging
upward : * , niul the supposition is that it
lodged somewhere near the heart.
Tlio second shot struck the wall about
two feel from the lloor. The wounded
man rushed past AIcL'ubbins to the porch
where he fell from ttio loss of Wood. Mrs.
McCnblmm had made her escape from the
house nnd was about two rods away to the
smith when Iho murderer llrcd the Mint that
killed her. The hall look effect Just below
the ear on the right side of tlio neck , lodging
just at the b.iso of the br.iin , killing her in
stantlv.
Krastus Dennis , who was feeding the cattle
nt the barn , hearing the tiring came up to
wards the house , when Mcl'ubbins
called him to como and witness tliu ter-
rlblo deed ho just committed , but
Dennis hesitated at llrst when McCiihbins
pointed the revolver at his own head ami
pulled the trigger , only to Had the revolver
was emptied , whereupon ho threw it away.
Dennis then caino up to the bouse and talked
& ' with McCiilibins. MrL'iihblns told Dennis
that his wife had confessed everything and
that lie ( Dennis ) knew thu cause. Dennis
h.istened to the nearest neighbor for help
nnd returned soon afterwards in company
with I'eter Ciliuidt. During tin * absence of
DeiinH Met'libbins carried bis wife into tin *
house nnd laid her on the bed. Returning
to the porch ho dlseoveied that young
Yob was not quite dead , so ho took n largo
carving knife and cut his throat from ear to
ear.
ear.When Peiinis and ( llnmlt caino up to tin
house Dennis asked Mct'ubbins what ho hni
dime with Ids wifo. Ho said he had carrier
her into the house. Dennis asked him if
Frank was dead and ho said yes , that he
could not stand to have his wife dead and
Frank alive. MeCubbins then went into the
house and pulled down the curtains ,
Dennis and ( ilundt then dispatched a
messenger to heigh for assistance and
Constable t'ushnmn and llvo deputies soon
arrived on the scone. After some parley tlio
crowd approached the house and , Hading
everything qviet , wont in and found that
Mi'Ciihhins hud taken poison and had died la
horrible convulsions , lying on theued with
the corpse ot his wife.
On the tank * wus the following message :
"Atlanta postolllce , Hamilton county , Ind.
is niv mother's home. Her name Is Iremi
UarrU. Have her come quick.
"II. MiCrnniss. "
The coroner from Stantna was telegraphed
for and arrived at the scene of the murder
Into last evening. Afler-cinnanelling a Jury
the following verdict was rendernd :
"Frank S'ob , now lying dead , came
to Ills death by a pistol shot and
having his throat cut. and Mrs. McCiibnins
cnino to her death by a pistol shot tired by
Henry McUiihbius , un.d that Henry MrCub-
bins came to ids death by nn overdose of
aconite. "
Mr. McCubbins came to the .lessens ranch
last September from tiiblnin , Neb. , and
formed a co-partnership with a Mr. linker , n
'
resident of that phieo.'in the c.ittlo raisin- ;
business. Kverything seemed to bo moving
along nicely until some time dur
ing the holidavs , when MeUubbins ills-
covered that the relations exisilng
between young Yob and his wife
were not what they should be , and ono time.
McUubbms throw a Hat iron at Yob with the
Intention of finishing him then nnd there.
Some time during the tlrst of January Mc
Cubbins discharged Yob , but Mrs. McCub
bins inteivcded la yoimg Yoo's behalf and
ho was nealn employed. In fact , Mrs. Mc-
Cubbins declared that if lie was not rein
stated she would le.ivo the premises. Mrs.
MrCiibbius was about thirty years old ,
medium height and not a bad looking woman.
It is rumored that the woman and young
Yob had every urramrcmont made to elope
fcinno tune near the tlrst of March.
The remains of the murdered people were
left in the hands of the undertaker and were
being prepared for burial this afternoon.
McCubbins ami ids wife will nroliably bo
sent to Atlanta , Ind. , for burial. The exact
location of Mr. Yob's parents are not known ,
but tlniy live somewhere In California. His
remains will bo interred in tlio cemetery at
l.elgh.
A telegram received nt Leigh this after
noon announced the fact that Mis. ( iiirrU ,
McCubbins' mother , was on her way to the
scene of the terrible tragedy. The dead
counlo leave a fainilv of llvo children , nnd ii
is said that McCubbins carried insurance to
tbo amount of SMMH ) or SUMKX ) on his life.
Tin : Hr.i : correspondent was unable to learn
the whereabouts of Mrs. McCubbins' par-
cuts.
According to the .statement of Carrie Mc
Cubbins , the oldest chilil , McCubbins and his
wife had frequently quarreled concerning
the young man. Yob , and , according to the
st-iteineats It certainly seems that .McCubbins
had abundant cause to be jealous of Yob.
Ho left a note lying on the table saying :
' Tell mother when she comes that 1 want
mo and Nettie buried at Mount 1'leasuut
graveyard , Indiana. H. Mi Ci muss. "
tie also sent a telegram to his mother in
Indiana as follows : "Como at once. 1 have
douo au awful deed. II. Mi Ci urns- . "
He also loft a message to a personal friend
nt Lelecl , saying :
"My Dear Friend : My troubles have nil
been made plain now , and 1 have stopped

LONHOV , Fob. SI. [ Sp.-dnl . Cablegram to

motion for the dls-ostaoiisliiu'iit of tbo
Welsh church in the houio of commons last
night was a suriiriso to the liberals them
selves , nnd has caused much gloom in tory
and Anglican circlos. The Welsh church is
not a separate national church , but an inte
gral part of the Church of ISuglaud and its
dis-estoblishmeiit would mean the severance
of a limb from tlio body of the Knehsh
church. Uls-establishment Is now regarded
as certain and It will bo mrulo the leading
fi'-ituro of tlio liberal programme nt the next
general election. Tlio Knglish church is dis
playing unwonted activity in charitable ana
religious work , with a view ol regaining its
hold upon the people. A significant factor
in the situation ia the determination of the
liberals not to Impair properly In tithes , It
being the intention of tiio party after dis
establishment to devote the tithes to educa
tion and other great national objects ,

Rr. I-ori , Mo. , l-'cli * J | . St. LouU today
bade an impressive farewell to ( leuor.il Klicr-
man. l-'or the first time In several days thu
tun shone out gloriously , but Its rays fell
upon the city draped In moiiriiinii. The
hearts of tins people were saddened , and with
ono accord all manner of men abandoned
their earthly pursuits and assemble I along
the Hue of the funeral proivsislim to do homage
age to the honored dead. It was a soldier's
funeral the funeral of a general -hut not
nloiio of ono whoso last Journey was
attended with all tlio honors duo
his rank , but of an oftlcer
beloved by Iho army and honored by the
people. For miles the streets were lined with
a solid wall of people stan ling at least a doroii
deep. The city was draped In morning. The
grief of those in tlio procession was ( outline ,
but apparent to everyone. Tno dead Koaur.it's
comrades of liaiisom post marched In hollow
squares about the caisson. ICvcry face were
that solemn look which said too plainly for
words : "I luivo lost a friend , " Following
the caisson was a handful of the survivors of
the old Thirteenth Infantry , Sherman's
llrst command in war , a smill and
grlef-strickcd body of men following
their old leader over the road whlcli they ,
too , must travel at no very far distant day.
There were besides thons.iuds of veterans of
the war , members of the Ur.md Army , old
and grizzled comrades in arms of the dead
general. Slowly they walked and only to' >
plainly was it written that the ravages of
tlmo were fast depleting tlio wnks , yet none
of thorn were so old or feeble that they would
admit even to themselves that thov were tax
ing their istrength In following Sherman to
Calvary , oven as they bad followed him to
Savannah.
Just after sunrise this morning the
Sherman funeral train arrived at
Viindalia , III. , and a heavy dischaige of
cannon nwolco those on board. A
stop of ten minutes was made to afford tbo
people a chance to see the casket. So great
was the crowd th.it all could not gratify their
desire in the short time allowed.
At Cireenvillo , a small village west of Vnti-
dnlia , a number of veteinns were drawn up
in line mi t he plat form. As the train ciimeto
a stop they presented arms and ono of their
number sounded "taps" on a bugle. Quite a
crowd of people troiii the city and surroand-
ing country were present and viewed tbo
casket.
At every llttlo cross-road as tbo tram
'
nciired St.'Louis were groups of people and
ono and all stood uncovered as the train
passed. This marlc of rosnect was universal
during the entire trip from Now York.
A liii'Ke crowd of iioisons , mostly railroad
men , gathered at Hast St. Louis , After a
few minutes' stop tlio train started across the
bridge to this city.
At the union depot and in all the streets in
the immediate vicinity immense crowds of
people were assembled. Tne funeral train
arrived at Just ; 'M. As it crossed tno bridge
a salnto from a battery announced its ap
proach. Kinurgitnr from tlio tunnel the train
was compelled to proceed slowly wlulo the
police cleared the tracks of people.
Flags all over the citv are at half mast ,
many of thu buildings and stores nro draped
in mourning , and blade framed pictures of
the dead general could bo been in numerous
windows. Tlio business of thi""ty is en
tirely Mispcnded and the streets tilled with
people. The day was all that could bo de
sired , t > o ( ar as .sunshine and cool , clear air
was concerned , but tbo streets were very
muddy from the recent rain storm. To this
storm was duo largely the meagre mourning
decoration * * .
When the train reached tlio platform ( ! ov-
ernor Francis , wtio was there with his stall
and tlio members of the reception committee ,
paid liis rosncctb to Generals Scholleld and
llownid and other military ofllcers accom
panying tbo funeral party , After an ex
change of greetings it was announced that
everything was in readiness for thu funeral
procession.
Meanwhile the military were moved into
position. Tlio caisson on which the
body was to bo borne was stand
"
ing" in readiness. It was drawn by
MX bay horses , tlio riders of which were llio
men who worked the Hotclikiss gun at the
battle of Wounded ICneo in the recent In
dian war. Tlio body bearers were eight ser
geants , from tlio Seven th cavalry
and four from Hattcry K , Kir.st artillery.
In front of the caisson was tlio Twelfth iii-
fun try from Fort Leavcaworth , drawn up In
line facing the depot. On the opposite t-ido
ol , tbo street was Hansom post. ( ! . A. ! { . ,
which acted as a guard of honor. The hor.so
that was led uohlnd Iho caisson waseiiilpped |
with ttio dead general's saddle , bridle , boots
and spurs. It was a black ono belonging to
troop iVSoventh cavalry.
All the lloral pieces were placed in an open
barouche to bo taken to the cemetery.
Atlii ) : ! ) General Merrill , chief marthal ,
and staff arrived. The casket was then re
moved from the ear , and as it was placed on
the caisson the Twelfth infantry nresciued
iirms and tlio band played a dirge. Many of
these assembled , touched by the sight , and
veterans and comrades of the dead general
could be scon weeping on all sides. Generals
Howard and Slocinn wore so overcome that
they could not speak for several minutes.
Tlio order to march wus then given , nnd
the Twelfth infantry eoiiuuuios wheeled into
'
line and marchednp'llleveiitb street , followed
by the caisson , on either snle of which UK )
members of Kansom post had ranged them
selves. Next carlo the members of thohher-
maii family and people who hud como with
thoni from Now York. In carriages.
The procession was divided into six di
visions. It was composed of the icgtilar
tnilitarv escort , as nrovidcd bv the reirular
army regulations , Grand Army posts , Loyal
Legion , Sons of Veterans , civic societies ,
state militia of Missouri and Ohio , members
nf the legislatures of Missouri , Illinois and
Kansas , governors of states and their staffs ,
and unorganized bodies of citizens in car
riages and on foot.
Tlio route of tne procession from the depot
to the cemeterv , a ilist-inco of nearly eight
miles , was through some of the principal
streets and avenues of St. Louis. Tbo windows
dews of nearly all the buildings wcru tilled
with spectators and the sidewnlles were
crowded with a struggling mass of humanity.
Whllo there was no disorder in tlio hill
sens-e of tlio word , the jam of people coming
. rom the various intersecting streets when
ho procession started was something terri
ble. On I'ino street alone the gathering was
estimated at 100.0JO people. Marching
through I'ine street the magnlllcenco of the
display was best seen. Truly it was just
what the old hero wanted a military funeral.
The heavy rumble of artillery , the clatter of
the cavalry horses'hoofs on the pavement ,
mingled with the clam ; and jingloof the
saber and spurnnd the steady tramp , triuupof
infantry as the column passed made n scene
never to bo forgotten. Straight out I'ino
street for over two miles the procession
marched. Then it wheeled into Uraud ave
nue , where there was a repetition of the
crowded streets and decorations of mourn
ing , From tirnnd avenue llio head of
the long column turned loft Into Florissant
avenue , which runs by the west entrance to
Calvary cemetery. Most of the troops re
mained outside ttio cemetery. It wus ' , ' : ; ! u
when all who had been assigned places took
their positions about the open grave , which
was lined outside with Hags. A blmrt dis
tance to the south wai ttui Thirteenth in
fantry , to the east the members of tlio Cirand

Many of tlio old Thirteenth survivors who
surrounded th'-er.issou were in tears from
the bof-innlngof the Journey until the gates

the greatest testimonials of the regard in

T.iobric'i , director of the royal pharmacolog

given to the world lirst through the Herald.
Conversing with a Herald correspondent ,
lie said ;
"It is not an improvement on Koch's
lymph. It is an entirely different remedy ,
based on my researches for years in tubercu
losis. My remedy anil Koch's will not work
well together. The only similarity between
them is that my roinedy is also Injected
subeutimeoiisly. "
"May I ask \ \ hcther it Is of a similar na

bucilii or a chemical preparation i"
"That I cannot ausvfcr. I will give full
particulars within a few days. I shall pub
lish a full description of my process , so that
every physician can prepare his own matter.
I shall not keep it a secret or lot any ono man
have a monopoly of tl.o manufacture. "
"In what docs your remedy differ from
tuborcullno. Uoos it bring about any differ
ent reaction ! "
"It brings on no reaction , nor does it cause
a fever. It is harmless , but will euro tuber
