The Only Real Kid JHayor
of Ohio
MAKES AQUEER DEFENSE
Mrs. Orr Said to Have Banquet
ed Her Servants.
Clarendon, Ark., Aug. 12.
Great excitement here
over of four colored
people for the assassination of
Merchant John Orr and the sui
cide of his widow after a confes
sion that she had offered in a fit
of anger to give S2OO for his
death.
Letters have been found which
tend to show that Mrs. Orr and
Rachel Morris proposed, after
collecting the Orr insurance, to
join two men in Mew York and
start a theatrical company.
Deputy Sheriff Mil wee sent
the following telegram last
ni lit:
“Arthur 0. Archer, Ohio’s
Only Real Kid Mayor, Caldwell,
O.: Your dear Lorilla was lynch
ed here tonight. Please wire
disposition of the remains.
R. F. Milwee.”
LETTER TO LORILLA.
It was in response to the fol
lowing letter, received Wednes
day :
“Caldwell, 0 , Aug. G, 1898*
Dear Lorilla : Inclosed you
will find a picture of me taken
August 2, 1898. Another matter
has been brought to my attention
since I wrote you last and that
is that our common pleas court
convenes September sth and 1
hardly see how I can away in
September. Perhaps it would
<uit you to defer until October.
Let me hear from you in regard
to the matter.
“However, if you cannot defer
it until October I thinkl can ar
range matters all right, but if it
would be more convenient for
you to defer it until October, I
could stay with you longer, as I
would haVe all my court affairs
attended to for the September
term.
‘ Trusting that you will be
pleased with Ohio’s real kid
mayor, I am still your
“Arthur 0. Archer.”
This letter is accompanied by
photograph of the “real mayor,”
indorsed on the back “Arthur to
Lorilla.” It must be understood
that Lorilla is the negro woman
who cooked for theOrrs. Appar
ently Mrs. Orr carried on cor
respondence in Loiilia’s name.
Enemies of Mrs. Orr say that
“Lorilla” meant Mrs Orr. A
telegram from Archer denies
that he had any knowledge of
the letter to Lorilla or that he
knew any of the parties.
Mrs. Orr was Miss Mabie Ear
nez Parker, and she was attend
ing school in Kansas when Orr
married her. Her father lives at
Waupon, Wis. Until the present
affair nothing had been said
against her, and she has been
Methodist church organist, and
has moved in best society.
Mrs Orr said that her husband
abused her, but that she had no
criminal intent when she said
that she would like to have him
killed.
It is stated that the night after
Orr’s burial Mrs. Orr gave her
negro accomp’ices a sort of ban
quet, and that she waited on the
table.
THE ONLY KID MAYOR.
Cincinnati, Aug. 12. —In re
ply to a telegram sent to Mayor
Archer, of Caldwell, that young
official wired back.
i Caldwell, 0., Aug. 11.— My
I connection with thj Orr affair at
Clarendon, Ark, is a'eorreepond-
ence by two or three, through a
Cincinnati correspondence bu
reau. The letter published was
hot writteij by me, but by anoth
er, who impersonated me. All
correspondence was to Lorilla F.
Weaver through the bureau,
and I did not know her person
ally at all.

Chased by Launch From The
Bancroft.
ONE AMERICAN KILLED.
Enemy’s Loss Heavy-Gallantry
of United States Sailors.
Key West, Fla , Aug. 12—The
Bancroft arrived today from the
Isle of Pines, bringing newe that
10 miles from the south coast of
the Isle of Pines, near Santo
Dominge, a schooner was sight
ed.
When the Bancroft’s launch,
with a one pounder on board,
was sent to reconnoiter, manned
by 14 men, Lieut. Wilson, see
ing the launch, sailed for Puerto
Cortes, beaching her, and, with
the aid of a rope ashore, ran her
aground.
Soldiers on shore fired at the
Bancroft’s launch, which held
her own, firing her one pounder,
eventually compelling the Span
iards to flee.
Apprentice James Munroe, by
swimming, reache 1 the schooner
and tied a rope to her. At the
same time Seaman Holmgren
also swam to another small boat
which was made fast to the
rope.
Stoker Noulouris was killed
by a bullet through his left arm
and chest.
The launch soon afterward
towed the schooner away. She
was loaded with firewood. The
Spanish loss must have been
heavy, judging by the launch’s
effective fire.
The lieutenant in charge and
her crew were cheered when re-
turning to the Bancroft. 'Hie
prisoners captured cave valuable
informaiion, and were then re
leased. They said the Spaniards
were fortifying Bailen Port, near
Colonia, Pinar del Rio Province.
Bailen has a garrison of 40 men
There are several warehouses
there.
The Branrroft’s launch and
the Maple went to Neuva Gerona
afteward, and report having
captured several small crafts
which were released. Seaman
Lacoz, of the Bancroft, lost his
eyesight, owing t<» the intensity
of the lightning off the Isle of
Pines.
