J. W. Conley, a young man who was

to have left the city with Meyers, has
Urn arrested in Chattanooga and will
be brought back under a charge of com

he left immediately for Cincinnati.
Examination of the register at Fol

assumed the name “Morlein” when he
took the room in which his clothes and
the dead man's pocketbook were found.
A pair of cuffs were also found, and on

MISSING HEIR FOUND.
H* Will C»me in for a Good Slice of
Four Million*.
London-, 0., Sept. 20.—Joseph O. De-
Haven was one of the missing heirs to
avast fortune due Jacob DeHaven from
the government, hack as far as 1878,
amounting to $4,000,000. In conversa
tion with James Treliearne here it was
learned that DeHaven removed from
Sidney, O., to near Piqua, Miami
county, where he is now residing.
Mr. Treliearne had a letter from the
pension department Saturday relative to
an affidavit for tin increase of pension
for DeHaven, who has been receiving $5
per month. DeHaven is blind, having
lost his eyesight during the war. He is
in very destitute circumstances, and the
settling of this vast fortune will no
doubt be a blessing. DeHaven was a
member of Company K., of the Twen
ty Sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which
was organized in this city in August,
1861.

Some of Ezeta’s friends here say they
sent powerful testimony in his favor by
the same steamer. It is rumored that-
the government is in possession of proof
that Antonio Ezeta has a secret arrange
ment with Vasqnez to revolutionize all
Central America, and that Carlos Ezeta
and some rich Americans' are in it.
The plan is to have Antonio Ezeta in
vade Guatemala, entering from the
north, where there is much discontent
among the people, and thence march
sonth, joined by the Guatemala mal
contents.
General Cordova, who arrived from
Costa "Rica a few days ago, has been in
consultation with public men, and he
denies that Vasqnez wants to take part
in a general Central American revolu
tion.
President Barrios, of Guatemala, is
said to have proposed to President Gu
tierrez that Salvador join Guatemala in
resisting the.claims of Mexico, and that
Gutierrez refused.
SIXTEEN TO ON E.
Senator Welsh Starts His Campaign for
the Senate on that Line.
Savannah, Sept. 20.—Senator Patrick
Walsh spoke at the theater here to a
crowded house. About 800 people were
gathered in the theater to hear him in
his opening campaign speech.
Mr. Walsh took up first the matters
which he held were responsible for the
financial depression that has recently
passed over the country. He dwelt at
length on the tariff, showing that while
87 senators were ready to pass the Wil
son hill as it came from the house, the
opposition of five made the senate com
promise the only possible measure that
could be carried.
The income of the sugar trust, he
said, had been reduced, but it should be
wiped ont. He took a strong stand in
favor of the income tax, for which he
said the people should be grateful to the
Democratic party and that not only
$30,000,000, but $100,000,000 of the gov
ernment’s revenues should be raised
from such a tax. He announced him
self in favor of the free coinage of sil
ver, saying this government should.have
a financial policy of its own and that*
the only ratio, and the established one
was 16 to 1.

Carlisle nqr his lately decapitated sn
pervising architect, Mr. O’Rourke, is
able yet to state, even relatively, what
proportions the building will have.
Mr. Kemper, who represents the treas
ury on the board, said that the building
wonld hardly cover over 85,000 feet.
But after giving the matter closer oon
sideration he said the plan’s might
cover 50,000 square feet.
•‘I hope that the building will be large
enough to cover 60,000 square feet, but
until we get to actual measurements it
is hard to do any guess work. I have
written to Mr.Gilbert in New York, the
architect, whom I understand will have
supervision of the plans for the build
ings, asking him for a description of
their general character. As soon as
these are received we will begin to

William Stitt Befusci to Acconnt for a
Large Trust Fund.
New York, Sept. 20, —William Stitt,
a man about 60 years old, has been a
prisoner in Ludlow street jail just four
years. He is apparently a willing pris
oner, and there is strong ground for the
belief that he could get out if he so de
rated.
He is locked up until he pays $20,-

which he was trustee, and it is said that
it is not because he can not pay it that
he does not, but because he will not.

B. D. Smith, of Raleigh, Swallowed the
Poison and Died In Atlanta.
Atlanta, Sept. 20.—In a little room
in the third story of 84 1-2 Decatur
street B. D. Smith, an engineer 32 years
old, ended his existence with three
ounces of laudanum.
The man had been in an intoxicated
condition for some days, and it was while
under the influence of whisky that he
said he was going ont to the circus. He
left to see the procession and returned
more intoxicated than before. It was
necessary for some of his friends to put
him in the room. There he was left.
The rest of the occupants left the place,
and returning from the cirous found the
dead body.
Smith was originally from Raleigh,
N. C. Several months ago he left Ral
eigh for Savannah, where he went to
accept a position as locomotive engineer.
much about the matter, however, as
they do not care to frighten off new
converts by the revival of the old Re
publican organization there. They pro
pose to have the new order of things
worked out by the people who of their
own free will have broken from Hie
Democratic party.
At the Democratic headquarters the
Louisiana affair is made light of. They
insist that the Republicans have no
possible chance of getting more than
one district, and express the opinion
that even that will not be done. Sena
tor Faulkner said that he was not
alarmed about Louisiana; that he had
no doubt about the election of a solid
Democratic delegation from that state.
The planters, he said, were not strong
enough to affect the result.
Representative Catchings, who was
issing through the city on his way to
ississippi, said:
*‘I am delighted at this action of the
planters. If that element in Louisiana
goes over to the Republican party it
makes the way easy for free sugar.
They cannot, in my opinion, elect Re
publicans to the house, and Democrats
who are elected in spite of their opposi
tion will be under no obligations to look
after their selfish interests.
The demands of the Louisiana plant
ers have been an embarrassment to the
Democratic party, and I shall not be at
all grieved to have them out loose. Even
if they should succeed in sending Re
publicans to congress it would hot- he a
matter of great consequence to the Dem
ocratic party. I don’t think there is
any danger of our being dependent upon
that delegation to hold the next house,
however. The state is Democratic with
out the planters, and we can very well
afford to have them in the opposition.”
In answer to the suggestion that the
vote of Louisiana might be important
should the next presidential election be
thrown into the house, General Catch
ings said that he thought there was no
probability that the house wonld be
called upon to elect the next president
Both Senator Faulkner and General
Catchings, in commenting on the gen
eral situation, called attention to eviden
ces of a revival of business, which they
believed would result beneficially to the
parly in power at the present time.
Senator Faulkner said that informa
tion received by him from different
quarters showed a great revival in both
retail and wholesale business, and in
many lines of trade he said there was
an extraordinary activity developing.
General Catohings pointed to the in
creased demand upon the treai
small onrrenoy and the large
_ _ com
fortable room, and dines on the fat of
the land with the warden.
Ex-Judge Dittenhoefer is attorney for
those who locked up Stitt. His son, J.
M. Dittenhoefer, told a reporter the
legal aspect of the case. In March, 1888,
ex-Judge Dittenhoefer was asked
through a firm of Canadian lawyers by
Wm. Watson of Toronto to prooeed
against Stitt to force him to make an
acconnt of the estate of Joseph Watson,
of which Stitt was executor. On March
29 of that year an application was made
in the surrogate’s court to remove Stitt
as executor. The adjudication of the
estate brought to light the fact that
Stitt held in trust $26,962.85 of the Wat
son estate. Of this $6,967.35 had been
been deposited with the United States
Trust company and was recovered. Stitt
was directed to pay the balance, $20,-
004.64. On Sept. 18, 1890, Stitt was
found in Smith & McNeil’s hotel, on
Washington street and arrested.-' Stitt
absolutely refused to make any account
ing or statement and was locked up in
the Ludlow street jail. From that mo
ment to this day he has been a prisoner.

noted killer of the early days, has just
