THE VIRGINIA MYSTERY
MISS MADISON AND CLUVERIUS
TRACED TO THE RFSERVOIR.
Undoubtedly in Her Company There.
Scratched Hands Microscopic Search

Chi Id M urdc Tens.
Richmond, V'a., March M—When I'hoinus
J. Cluverius is put trial for the murder
of Fannie Ijlhan Ma<iison, as the coronort
jury Handed that he shall be. the case
agaiuslihiinwilbdepeii.l aliiiuKt entirely upon
circu mttatrtk: evid enciu unless definite
and nw’iPpicted facts shall hereafter
turn dp Ho convict or acquit The tertimony
practically establishes the fact that be got in
a street car with the girl on the night of her
death. The test imony is almost as conclusive
that a young man and a young girl who got
off a street car of the same line within a
quarter of a mile of the reservoir were Chi
verius and Fannie Madison, and that
this was within a short tune of the
moment that the girl was thrown or
threw herself into its icy water. There
was at lea*t a moUve to Chiverius for mur
der in' that he had certainly betrayed the
girl, that aha was' abow to become a mother,
that he was engaged to be married to auoth
er lady, and that Miss Madison very proba
bly threatened exposure and the vengtance
of her relatives.
But in the opinion of every one who has
read the testimony, there is certainly now
no reasonable doubt of Cluverius' guilt, and,
in any event, the trial must be among the
most memorable in the criminal annals of
this country. If the body is disinterred,
and it is found, under the microscope, that
pieces of human cuticle are under her finger
nails; it it is fqpnd, as is now* charged, t hat (
the back of Cliverius’ hand shows marks of I
scratches. |he ..might yet convict
him, and least tiwuifi hftu » prison for life, i
The ex< iiexneiG in t3>e. c»y lias now spread j
all over the state. All Virginia is watching
the progress of events in this ease.
Coroner Taylor extended an invitation to
Cluverius to make a statement Indore the
jury, but he declined the proposition by the
advice of his counsel.
The examination of Cluverius before the
police court will take place on the GOr.li inst.
He has secured the services of eminent
counsel
All sorts of theories continue to be ad- i
vanced in reference to the murder of Miss 1
Madison. Then* are many people from the
neighborhood of Cluverius' home who have
known from inf an ey Thomas Judson (’lu ver
ins. From some o p th'tn itisl u mud that a
few years ago Sarmie? Tunstall, a well-to-do
farmer of Kang and Quern county and an
uncle of Cluverius, made a donation of $50,-
000 to a well know n educational institution
of this city. The remainder of his estate he
left to his wife at whose house Cluverius was
found and arrested Uy th> oft! ars
from this city. At the death of
Mrs. Tunstall the estate was to be dh i'tel
between Thomas J. Cluverius and Mi«
Fanny Lillian Madison. In the event of th •
death of one or the other of these parties the
survivor was to inherit the whole estate.
Mrs. Tunstall, the aunt of Cluverius, is ad
vanced in life. Cluverius, a member of her
family, seeing age gradually but surely mak
ing inroads upon an otherwise not strong
frame, and tieing a lawyer by profession
and knowing the delay and costs the
bequests of his uncle might be subjected
to, perhaps tlHpttght the surest
and moat profitable way out of this dilemma
would be to murder the coheir of his uncle’s
estate, thereby doubling his estate and at the
name time getting rid of the woman who
stood between him and his affianced. If this
Lie the correct interpretation of Samuel
Tunstall’s will, it is not unreasonable to
supjKMie that a desire for more money
prompted the crime.
THE CHILD MURDERESS.
Horrible Details of the Death of Melville
Harrett.
Richmond, Vt. Mat' h M.—A dispatch
from here some days ago gave an aix-ount of
the cold blooded murder of Melville Barrett,
a boy of seven years old. by his cousin, Mary
Cooper, a girl of eight. The scene of the
crime was near Scottsville in Alliermarle
county. The boy’s dead body was found in
an outhouse and it was suspected that the
Cooper girl was the murderess. The state
ment supporting that theory, made by a little
five-year-old sister of the young murderess,
who claimed to have witnessed the-crime, was
not generally believed.
Circumstantial evidence pointed to David
Xdooper, an uncle of the dead boy with whom
both oi the children lived, as the murderer,
and he was committed to jail in Albermarle.
The two Cooper girls were to have tieeu taken
to the court house to testify before the grand
jury.
In talking with several parties Mary
Cooper, the eight-year-old girl, arknowl
edged that she killed the boy, saying the boy
ate her egg a hen had laid on the tied;
that she-arid her sister persuaded him to get
in a chair ostensibly to put up a swing; that
when the rope had been attached to the ceil
ing of the cabin, she made a loop into which
he was made to put his head; that then they
knocked the chair from under him and
struck him several severe blows over the
head with, a •hovel. Her confession corres
ponds subs antially with the statements of
her sister from the outset. The fact had al
ready bt*m developed that the boy was en
tirely under the control of the elder of the
girls, and that she had been allowed to chas
tise him whenever she felt disposed. Both the
giris Lava been taken to jail
Misplaced Confidence.
Batavia, N. Y., March 26. —Charles H.
Howard, real estate speculator, made an as
signment here a week ago. The village hae
been greatly astonished over the develop
ments as to his manner of doing business.
Creditors, many ot whom were widows or
poor young men who had placed all their
javings in his Lands, believing him to be
more responsible than the banks, have ap
peared in great numbers, and most of them
will lose every dollar they loaned him. How
ard’s troubles have weighed so heavily on his
mind that he has been placed in the Buffalo
insane asylum. Though some of his indig
nant creditors are disposed to believe this is
onlv move to avoid criminal prosecution.
The heaviest loser by Howards tiausactious
will be Major H. J. Glowacki, who was as
sociated with him in the coal and lumber
business. The assignments of Howard &
Co. and Henry J. Glowacki were filed. Mr.
Glowacki took no active interest in the busi
ness and trusted implicitly in Howard.

charged with a murder committed in con
junction with others, known as the “Sara

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Great Excitement in England Over War
truestM»nM AH the Neus.
LONDON, Alaivh 23. —There is great excite
ment here over the reports from Constanti
nople to the effect that the porte has asked
the advice of Bismarck in regard to the
Turco-Russian alliance against England.
The war office is besieged with newspaper
men eager to learn the particulars. No in
formation of a reliable character is forth
coming. The general feeling is t hat in spite
of assurances of the ?; >ver iment that war
between Russia and England is inevitable,
and every one knows once such a
war is begun, that it will mean a bitter con
flict, probably of many years duration. The
likelihood of Turkey having resolved treach
ery toward England does not surprise any
one, as it is a well known fact that the sul
tan has long been eager to distract the at ten
tion of the people from the extravagances
of the court, and that nothing could do this
so effectually as war is generally conceded.
The huge orders giveu by the government
for supplies and munitions of war are re
garded as positive evidence that the govern
inont is preqiaring for a great conflict.
Not Exaggerated.
London. March 26.—The feeling of alarm
in ministerial circles at the prospect of a
Russo-Turkish alliance can hardly Ixj exag
gerated. Lord Granville, minister of
foreign affairs, had a Hfiecial
interview with both Musurns Pasha,
Turkish minister and Tehul Pasha, special
envoy of the Turkish government to Eng
land. The consequence of the critical turn
which the Afghan question has taken, secur
ities of all descriptions are weak. Consols
are falling rapidly, and are quoted at 27
This is a drop of % per cent, within an hour,
Mid is looked upon as conclusive evidence
that news of the gravest character may be
made public at any moment.

HE PASSED IN HIS SLEEP,
Hut Failed la Aunww the yuentlons In His
Waking Momenta.
Huntingdon, Pa., March 26. In attend
tnce at the sessions of the Central Methodist
•(inference held here during the past week
-vas a young itinerant theologue, a proba
jonor, preparing to undergo the final exam
nation in u progressive series required to be
;ed before he could complete his proba
joiutry period and liecome a full-fledged di
zine. lie had already passed five of these
ixaininations successfully, but was greatly
jonwrmul as to the sixth.
He raved and talked of it in his sleep night
ifter night. Huntingdon was pretty crowded
luring the conference, and accordingly the
zoung theologue was obliged to accept, a bed
room in a boarding house, already occupied
jy three or four other persona, among whom
vere a young lawyer and a young Methodist
ninlster of full degree. Returning together
.he other night from a late session of the con
ference, the minister and lawyer were
unused to hear the anxious candidate answer
ng imaginary questions pertaining to bis
ximingexamination. They instantly grasped
lie situation, whereupon the divine (too con
cientious to conduct the mock examination
limself), suggested the formal questions to
he lawyer, who in turn propounded them in
i very severe manner to the student.
In this way they went through the whole
examination required by the church organi
sation, the student answering in his sleep all
he questions directly. The lawyer told him,
lowever, that he had made lots of mistakes
ind would have to be put back another year.
At this the student showed much distress,
protesting against such a decision, and l>eg
'ing to be allowed another trial. This farce
vas re]>eated for several nights until the stu
lent went before the official examining board.
3ut here, owing probably to his anxious
;tate of mind, although he had previously
mswered all the questions correct ly, he utr
orly failed to pass, “and was put back an
other year.”

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Appointment* mid Nominations —S. N. Cox
to Turkey Political.
Washington, March 26.—At a caucus of !
republican senators the matter of providing ,
places for their committee clerks during the I
recess of congress was the principal question
discussed. It is understood that the confer
ence was called in order that there might be
some general understanding by the majority
as to how far the senate should
go in creating such places. The controversy
Is based upon a resolution recently submitted
by Mr. Sherman, proposing to rescind so
much of all resolutions passed since March 1
:is to contemplate the employment of “spe
cial” clerks during the congressional
vacation. The debate took a wide range,
and it is evident from what
has been gathered on the subject that con
siderable feeling was manifested. The sen
ators are not having annual clerks to their
committees but having obtained authority
from the wuiate to cany them over during
the vacation period, naturally optioned
Mr. Sherman’s proposition and some of
them went so far as to state
that if this resolution was passed, they would
insist on revision of the entire committee
List of the senate. Without reaching a i*)int
of action on Mr. Sherman’s resolution, the
subject was deferred. It is stated that the
general understanding was reached iu the
caucus that all pending treaties should be an
intimation of the understanding to take up
the remaining treaties.
