Scratched Hands Microscopic Search fur Human Cuticle - The Will - The 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. Salvation is Free. Marietta, Ga., March 26. —Rev. J. R.

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.

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.” EMBRACED BY A LUNATIC.

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. • Appointment*.
