Denooncinc Congrgaa. The Congress whose unhappy life came to close on Monday is denounced from various standpoints, and for various reasons. It is not easy to aggregate all the attacks and hurl their destructive sum at the retirinx members; for. viewed together, they are inconsist ent, and sometimes paradoxical. Everybody seems, though, to concede that Congress cannot get a lick amiss.

It is set down asbad on general principles, and close discrimination in chastisement might relieve it of some of the whipping it deserves.

Coroner Thomas has ended the Inquest In the Peany murder case and returned a verdict, but the affair is Just as deep a mystery as It was before he began, the examination. MadamOos-slp's tongue continues to wag just as though the Coroner did not know his business, however, and the town Is full of knowing ones who can't til just how It happened, and whotommltted the mysterious crime which is talked of more now. If that Is possible, than before the verdict was announced. The public expected the inquest would tlx the crime upon some one; that the authorities would not have to go far from the scene or the tragedy to place the guilty one under arrest, but NOW THI MYSTERY GROWS All the deeper. Henry liernthlsel, father of Mrs.

I'eary. will leave no stone unturned to locate the murderer of his daughter. He Uvea at Haskins, seven miles from here. Two detectives are already at work on the case. Independent of Sheriff Illggs, who Is doing his lest to unravel the mystery, l'eter I'eary, husband of the murdered woman, testified berore the Coroner's Inquest that his wife was subject to heart dis ease, and another witness, George Mat thews, a neighbor, testified that her com plaint took the form of sudden suffocation and great distress, and that she frequently made hurried trips to the doctor's office day and night for relief.

She was an exem lary woman in all her actions. The Peany residence Is located about aO rods from Dr. Kddmons's office. In order to reach the rear door the murdered woman must have gone to Main street, to Broad passed the drugstore and office, which were open, then to Washington street, on which faces the doctor's residence, then passed In front of the house to the front gate, en ered and proceeded along the west side of the house to the rear door, where the shoot ing occurred. The doctor's lot Is Inclosed with a picket fence, and the front yard gate is the only entrance.

Why he would have selected THIS ROUND-ABOUT WAY To reach the office Is what causes the specu lation that it was not an attack of heart disease that brought her there that night. Dr. Kddnion testified that he never knew her to come to his office by way of the side door, and her husband stated that never know her to leave the house after Ight" without her Drat telling him where he was going. Peany, In addition to sleep- lug away from his wife, was partially deaf. and It took fully half an hour to awaken him arter her dead body was round.

Clarence Foote, who lives near Kddmon's. testified to hearing a shot, followed by some one running, but he could not tell in what direction. W. Hollls, another of Eddmon's neighbors, testified that Peany was Jealous of his wife, and that he had known them to have quarrels. Dr.

Eddmon testified berore the Coroner that he was In his store counting the day's receipts pre paratory to closing-up when tne snot was fired, but Frank Stephens testified that he told him the night of the tragedy that he had locked Up and was on his way home at the time. I Robert Cojllns. a business man, testified that Kddmon told him he was In the store reading a paper when the shot was fired. Jeter Van Valkenburg, a business man. also testified that Eddmon told him he was ON HIS WAY HOME When he heard the Bhot fired.

W. M. Hannah swears the doctor told him ha was In his store" counting the money when he heard the shot, and that he stayed In the store until his folks from the house came to the store and asked him what was the matter. Wesley Arnold, a neighbor of the Peanys, also testified to his knowledge that Peany was Jealous of his wife, who was eight or ten years his Junior, and that on the Thurs day night preceding the murder he heard a pistol shot about midnight. He got up; there Was a bright light tn Peany's bouse.

Nellie Hartslng, the domestic employed at Kddmon's, whom the gossips are wont to connect with the scandal, testified that she was preparing to retire when she heard the shot. She called to Mrs. Eddmon, who had retired. Dr. Eddmon came In and inquired about the shot.

Mrs. Eddmon said she had known Mrs. Peany since childhood, and never knew her to go to the office by way of the rear door. This concluded the tes from which Coroner Thomas ar rived at THI FOLLOWING! VKRDICT: After having heard the evidence and examined the body. I do find that the de ceased.

The officials will keep right on the case, notwithstanding tne iauure oi me Coroner to locate the perpetrator, but It may be months, possibly only a few days before enough evidence to convict the suspected person Is secured.

Hla Accounts Straight.

The accounts of John 0. Bacbe, tw York sgent ot the Union Central Life Insurance Company, of this city, appear to be perfectly straight, according to the statement of Mr. L. Davis, cashier of the concern here. When seen last night at his residence, in Clifton, Mr.

"I'm the Boss of the Bums." Chief of Police Pagels So Far Forgets Himself To Denounce the Men Who Are Under Him- Wants To Be Mayor. SPECIAL SMFATCH TO THE CNQCIEIB. Columbus, Ohio, March 5. For many weeks this city has been. In a fever heat over the question as to who shall be Its next Mayor.

Since a change In administration two years ago It has been controlled by an element of so-called reformers, who hsve, according to unprejudiced sentiment, worn the livery of Christianity In which to serve their own political and financial interests. With a great blare of trumpets tha public was Informed that the gambler must go to that bourne from which no sportive traveler returns, and that the saloon keeper must be upposed to be dead on the Sabbath day. The fact Is that the reform administration has been a hollow mockery and a fraud of tbe first water. Now that a new Mayor is be elected, and an opportunity Is pre sented to reorganise the city, the Repub licans have divided factions, and are uttlng each other's throats with merciless rapidity. There are four Republican candi dates for the nomination for the Mayoralty.

They are Chief of Police Edward Pagels, Hon. Henry C. Taylor, General C. WaJcutt and Mr. Ollle Evans.

Mr. Fvans generally supposed to have the Inside track, but the fight Is not over, and the others are making a desperate effort. A meeting was held in the City Hall to-Ight to Indorse the candidacy of Chief Pa- gels. The attendance was largely composed reformers of all stripes, from the most conservative to the most radical. It was noticeable, however, that the RADICAL, FIKS-BATINQ ELEMENT Was predominant.

The principal speaker was Chief Pagels himself. The Chief told what he would do if he should be elected Mayor. He said that he would close up not part of the saloons, but all of them; that no gambling whatever would be allowed. Referring to the present administration, the Chief said that It had been charged with many shortcomings, and he did not much wonder that there was complaint against it. 'It has been charged." said he, "that certain saloons are allowed to keep open at all times, while others are required to abide by the law in Its strictest sense.

This may be true, for I say to you that the present police force Is composed of some of the worst bums I ever saw In my life. This declaration by the Chief of Police was greeted with enthusiastic and pro longed applause by the large audience. The fact that the Chief of Police unquali fiedly condemned his own department and characterized Its members as bums created rjrofound sensation In doing so he sought to relieve himself of all responslbll Ity for the character of the police force, inasmuch as its members are appointed by the Director of Public Safety, William M. Muchmore, between whom and the Chief there has been bad feeling for some time. Pagels declared In effect that he would fire the whole outfit if he should become Mayor.

While all of this Is going on among the Republicans the Democrats are united and harmonious. They will present as their candidate for Mayor either Cotton Allen or ex-Kepresentative Philip Bruck. There will be no bad feeling about either nor any hypocritical reform, but bright promise of good business government. COLONEL COir Exonerated By the I to port of the Spe cial Conrt of Inquiry.

Owing to the late hour at which the report, was filed the Governor could not Inspect its contents to-night, and did not reel justified in making It public until be had considered it in co-operation with the Attorney General. TLe report will probably be mtdt public to-morrow.

the members of the Court were agreed soon alter tne inquiry ciosea that Colonel Coit acted in accordance with what should have been done from si military standpoint.

sfwiae. sur-ATr to tss ssectsts- Inulamapous, March 5. Senator J. M. Seller upon the witness stand before a legist latlve committee to-night told his connection with the passage of the famous Roby bill whP-h was stolen from the Benate chamber last evening.

The committee was appointed upon his motion at this morn ing's session of the Senate. Just after the Senate assembled he took the floor upon a question of personal privilege. He stated that his name had been connected with the dlsapppearance of the. bill and he asked that the charges be Investigated. He stated that he did not care for the matter himself, but as he was a member of the Senate he believed that it was due to that body that there should be an Investigation.

Several Senators complimented Senator Seller, and declared that none who knew him believed the stories afloat. Senator Baker asked that a vote of confidence be passed. Senator Klllson said he thought that Senator Seller should have his own wsy aboutitbe matter, and the Chair appointed the following committee: Senators Cranor, Newby, Baker, Leyden and Glfford. Previous to this thd stolen bUl had been found. this morning Morris Dlggens, one of the State House Janitors; went Into a closet near the Senate Chamber, and saw a roll of paper In a water bucket.

He paid no particular attention to it at first, thinking It was waste paper. He intended when be btul finished his other work to take It and the other papers In the bucket to the waste chute in the library. At 8 o'clock Patrick Berry, another janitor, went Into the closet. Noting the roll of psper, he fished It out. He saw that IT WAS A SENATE BILL, But had no Idea of Its Importance.

At this moment Senator McDonald came In. "What Is that ou have there?" asked the Senator. "This, I think. Is the Roby bill." re sponded the janitor. "Give me that paper, and come with exclaimed the Senator.

McDonald and Berry went into the Lieutenant-Governor's room, where a number of the Senators were meeting to decide what course Senator Seller should take. "Uentlemen, here is the Roby bill, ex claimed Senator McDonald. 'The lost Is found," at the same time holding up the bill. it was examined and round to be consid erably soiled. It had been tightly rolled, so as to occupy as small a space as possible in the bucket.

From Its appearance it looked as if some one had rolled It up in order to conceal It. The theory Is, that after tailing the bill to the closet for examination some one found that the wrong bill had been taken and Then threw it away. The investigating committee met to-night In the room of the Lieutenant Governor. There the clerks of the Senate related the BTOBT OF THE STOLEN BILL, As told In The Enquirer this morning. While thev were testifying Doorkeeper Du bois entered, accompanied by Will G.

Beech, a vnung man 'ho has spent con siderable time about the legislative cham bers. Captain Dubois whispered a lew words to Senator John W. Kern, who con ducted the committee. Senator Kern at once called Beech to the witness stand. The young man stated that yesterday arternoon he was In the closet connected with the Senate chamber.

He saw a man enter with an enrolled bill. That man, he claimed, was Senator Seller. He adhered to his story, notwithstanding a severe cross-examination. He had heard or the finding of the bill, he said, and at once came to the State House to offer his testimony, when Seller was pointed out to him. and he recognized him as the man whom he had seen with the bill.

Senator Seller made a statement last of all. He had been given an opportunity or having coun seL but declined, and conducted the cross-examination himself. He acknowledged having been In the closet, and with a bill and enrollment wrapper in his hand, but stated that It -was tne wrapper anu printea (not written bill he had got from the enrolling clerks. His story was clear In every particular, told earnestly, and It developed from the questioning that he had been the one who had forced legislation against Roby from the start. i During the examination ot witnesses Copyb.g Clerk J.

W. Eenew, of the House, created a sensation. He testified that on the evening the Roby bill passed the Senate and just before It got to the House he had been approached by A. F. Knotts, an attorney of Hammond, who offered him to make away with the Roby bill when It reached the House.

He agreed to do so, and then reported the scheme to Chief Clerk Bob Brown and Speaker Adams. Mr. Knotts Is a prominent attorney who has had some connection with the Roby Racing Association and who is well known here. The committee meets again In the morning. A MASS OF ICE.

Hisnop Peterkin. ot West Virginia, said to night, relative to the action of tbe Executive Committee: The Irregularities referred to in this statement are such as warrant the removal of the hecrltary and Treasurer from office. The society's expenditures are between S25.0TM and W0.UUO a year and the money is paid out mostly in small sums. making the auditing 'of the accounts extremely difficult. The society has not been entirely crippled by these irregularities, but as they extend over five or six years it is im possible to make a detailed statement.

I would not like to call it a defalcation bnt I will say that hereafter the society would like to have its money handled in a different manner.

The state ment made In The Knuiibir of February 26, to the effect that Rev. Goblet had been tried In church session upon the charge of Improper conduct toward a lady, would be funny If it were not so serious. Gossip has been plentiful, and the original story, which was simply that Rev. Goblet, who is a single man. had been seen making love tn an innocent way to a young lady by some young men.

who peeped Into a window where a mistake as to Identity waa Very easy. hanged like a kaleidoscope until the Ports mouth world outside of the church had suc ceeded In making several very Interesting. but wholly false, reports out of It. ALL Or THESE have run down very carefully, and found nothing whatever to substantiate them. I called upon Rev.

Goblet after seeing those who had'lrculated the rumors and becom ing convinced that they were unfounded. He received me courteously, but declined to make any statement for publication, giving a reason for the same that he did not wish to give the impression that there was anything to defend. I railed upon the members of the session and found that mat ters had been discussed in an informal way. and every effort made, to discover any ground for them, without success. Each member of the session expressed the fullest CONFIDENCE IN REV.

OOBIET. It appears that Rev. Goblet Is an enthu siastic Worker among those who are not In tbe habit of attending church and a rather enthusiastic advocate of the Salvation Army. He la a nervous, energetic. Im pulsive and whenever he sees a sin ner he considers It his duty as a minister to save that person.

This has occasioned some comment, and. In fact, an opposition In his own church with a very few, although he is most earnestly supported by nearly all of the members of the Second Presbyterian Church, whjch Is one of the wealthiest and most Influential here. Those who do not altogether approve Of his methods have the utmost confidence in him as a man. The dispatch referred to was based upon rumors entirely, and has no lounaauon whatever in fact. There was no trial, there was no division of the church, and there was not even a charge of guilt.

HOT A MAN IN PORTSMOUTH Could be found who would father such charge. There was an Inquiry for Informa tion elicited by members of the session, and resulted in satisfying them all that no trial was necessary and under the circum stances would be ridiculous. I have also very thoroughly investigated the sensational rumors that have been afloat concerning Mr. and Mrs. Kraft's con nection with the affair, and never were derogatory reports started in any commun Ity that were so entirely devoid of founda tion in fact or so Inexcusable.

Or course, every one denies responsibility, but they muat have emanated from some most de spicable person, prompted probably by jeal ousy, une leature wnicn speaas in no uncertain tones in favor of the very blah re-Sict which these people enjoy from the Deiter classes is that no one or equal or hlxher social standing has given them credence for a moment. Mr. Kraft him self has the most Implicit faith In his wife. and she tn him. They live In the upstairs portion ot a store Duiiuing ownea ana oc runted by Elder Harnett, of the l'resbv- terian Church, and were there any circum stances or even a suspicious nature HE WOULD KNOW THEM.

But the family of Mr. Harnett have entire confidence In Mr. and Mr. Kraft. Mr.

Kraft Is an engineer of much more than ordinary IntelllKence, and his wife has been very active In church work, two facts that have won for them a much better social position than Is usually accorded people who are not votaries of society. This is irobably the reason that Borne contemptl-le person haa tried to Injure them. At least, after a most diligent Inquiry, sparing neither pains nor expense. In order to do no injustice on the one hand and to shield no one on the other, this is the only possible cause that I can And. There is not a word of truth In the dis patch to thb knudirek or February 2T, and If ever a truly good woman was the victim ot malicious raise reports Mrs.

Kraft has been, while tbe statement that her husband was the cause is entirely without tounaation. rank l. welles, PERSONAL POINTS. C. W.

Thurman.Cbalrman of the Democratic State Executive Committee, to-night addressed the Board of Trade of this city upon the sliver coinage question.

In conclusion, he said: "Ninety-six per cent of the trade of the United States Is carried on between ourselves. The other 4 per cent with other countries.

Are we to legislate for the per cent? But. they say, you can't, unless England consents. Tbe belief Is that England la the money power which controls the world, and that before her we muat bow the knee. This Government and this people are not only strong to regulate their own af-alrs, but ey are strong If they would simply say so. that If to-morrow their mints were open to the free cotnace of both gold and silver, the rest of the world would in a short time be compelled to follow.

It Has Been Already Anthoriied, and Consent Is Asked To Put It on the Market Stockholders In the Cincinnati Street Railroad Company and financial men- gen-erally on Third street were rather surprint yesterday morning by receiving In the mail a clruclar from the Secretary of that pany. It was well known that the compi eoai-ipaky i ai.

Tha surprise waa due to the fact that the circular came a little earlier 1 nan waa ex-peeted, and naturally It created some rumors, "all of which are without the slights est foundation. Among- certain stockholders it led to the story that the street railroad company was Issuing; more slock, which Is not true. The address to the stockholders Is a request to modify a rule passed In June.

1HU3, limiting the Issuing of stock to not more than annually. It waa supposed at that time that that sum would more than cover any possible disbursement that might arise. This, haa proved Incorrect, as the changing Into electric and the building of gen erating stations has consumed more money In quicker time than was figured upon. Th circular Is simply a request to sell the frtock ahead of time. The amount asked for 1 9300,000.

This will make the entire amount of stock In the hands of the public The prevailing Idea was lhat the company had only Issued the $400,000 voted in January, but the year of the company Is from July to July, and the tl.OOO.Otiu has en t-sued since that time.
