Old Man Jeff Holiday Poisoned By Ills Enemies. The Crime An Outgrowth of the Recent Murder of Cal Vest. Deadly Quarrel In Which Three Families Are Mixed Up In. Capture la Grayson County or John Burns Murderer After Two Tears of Liberty. FATHER'S STEADY AIM.

narrodsburg. May 8. (Special.) News has Just readied here of one of the most diabolical snd premeditated poisoning and murder cases ever committed in Washington county. It is the bequcl of a terrible crime committed last February, when Cal. Vest and bride came to Harrodsburg.

and the groom was killed, wlule returing home, by Jeff. Holiday end hi two brothers. who begun shooting at and killed Vest in the sight of his young bride. Tlie Holidays escaped for a few days, but were arrested, and young Jeff. litliday is in jail now at Springfield, awaiting trial.

Jim Matherly is a cou-rin' of Vest, anil a son of Til ford Matherly Young Matherly ha been busy collect ing evidence agaiost the Holidays; but has always pretended grent friendship for thenu Yesterday afternoon, one of tho Vest bora, a brother of Calvin Vest, who was killed by the Hoi Ways, and Matherly were together at a country house in -Washington county, when they saw Jeff. Holiday. pass by on horseback. The supposition is that Vest and Matherly Axed the drug to poison Holiday. Young Matherly caught up with Holiday, and knowing Holiday' weakness offered him a drink.

Holiday accepted and drank a good draught, when he pulled the bottle from hi lips and remarked it had a very bitter tustc. He was urged to drink some more; but refused, at the same time asking Matherly to drink some. When Holiday insisted on his drinking some, Matherly raised tlie bottlo to hi llpa, but let it fall on a rock, breaking it. Matherly here left who began to feel the effects of the poison, rode to a house near by, a Mr. Freeman's, told him what had happened, and begun to have convulsions, dying in twenty minute in great agony.

Tlte supposition runs that Matherly was given enough money to do the deed and get out of the country to save himself. It is aa ugly rise in which these three families are badly mixed up. Tlie feud, for such.it is, dates back three years, and numbers several knock-down fights and two shooting scrapes to its pi' St. The Coroner of Washington will hold a post mortem on the body of Holiday It i the 'general opinion that the poison was either rough-oa-rat or arsenic. Matlierly is described as being about twenty-five years old; nearly nix feet high, and weighs 150 pounds.

Holiday leave several sons, who will willingly give up their lives to avenge their fatlier. The parties are all residents of Washington county, reside about four miles from the Mercer line, and are well-to-do farmers. Judge W. E. Kus-seU, who is here, says the killing of Holiday yesterday is tlie seventh death, the result of a divorce from one of the Holiday family.

There were no polioo on the ground and the crowd knew that buried beneath tlie ruins rvere thousands of dollars worth of goods, edibles, etc. Hungarians and Italians cotrpoed tho greater portion of the crowd, and they ranHacked everything in kitrht.

Tlte prisoner attracted bo little attention Rh he ivas taKen down Main street with his irat tied behind him with a plow line, and so charged wa his appearance that the few who former ly knew him did not rccogni.ee him, and and others insisted that it was not Cook. The story of Cook's capture, as related by Dr. Duvail to a reporter to-day, reads almost like a novel. Although there has never been any reward offered for Cock, either by tlie State or Burns' relatives, tints luu been a general impression that BcrnV father would, pay any one who would rapture the slayer of his son. Dr.

Duvail said that lie knew Cool? personally, and had come to believe that lie in a community about four miles from Hig Clifty, and made tip Ids mind to capture him. To make sure, he met the prisoner's little nephew about a week ago, and, in a peculiar way learmd all about where to hunt for bJm. He axked th hoy if he did not know that if he ever told where his Cncle llnry was his mother would almict whip him to death. Tlu boy said that he did, snd wlien th doctor told Liin nevtr to breathe it, gtew confidential and grave the whole thing away. It was learned that Cook was staying with an old maa a Unit four miles from liig Clifty, as before stated.

Armed with a rew cotton rope and a good pirtol Dr. Duvail conclude! to- make a trial to capture the murderer. He arrived at the place about 10 o'clock, and ut a most 'piortune moment. As he learned afterward the old man had gone to turn out some horses, and when the doctor stepped on the porch. Cook, who was sitting in a room alone, naturally supposed it was the old man returning.

In thnt way the copturer was in tlie rrom before Cook knew it. When told to consider himself under arrest be jumped straight upon hi feet. A powerlul man and a pistol reedy for busine5s were persuasive, and a command to throw Ids hands was ohered by the the time the old man did return his hands were tied. He was taken to Ilig Clifty. where Mr.

Kefsnver Joined the pair, and all three took the train for Central City, where Cook warn guarded until the arrival or the O. and N. train this morcing. With tlie exception of abont a week spent in this county, immediately after the killing. Cook has been at the place of his csnture since the unfortunate affair.

He has spent his time principally bunting and fishing, and had no idea that any on was attempting his arrest.

Laborers ImportedAs Rapidly As They Can Be Sheltered. Strikers Are Dogged and Firm, and Have But One More Blast Fan aces and Dead, With Thousands of Discontented Workmen. WHAT THE STRIKE COSTS. Pittsburgh, 8. Foreigner are coming into the coke regir.n in bulk, and, as an operator taid to-day.

be can turn 3.0OO men into the region in twenty-four hours, but can not tthelter them. A pect-liatity about this wholesale importation is that tho strikers are a firm and vnr.roken ns; ever, and when directed by the Sheriff to, move calmly out of tlieir houses to roost on fences, or gather In a huddle to watch the imported men move into the bouses they have so recently vacatrd. Their calmness may be a conhclenoe of ultimate victory, but it sa. ors more of the apaCy of deeuir. To day labor officials say tliere will cci-n be a plentiful supply of money and tents for the most -eeJy, out this they have been promising for weeks.

It is particularly noted that the aid pledged from the Federation of Labor has not yet made, it appearance, and unless it soon comes it vtili be everlasU -ingly too late. Another thin? worth observing is the action of the llungar ians. Poles and Germans, hitherto despised, especially the farmer, by labor organizations as being unreliable and dangerous. The foreign element, especially, has made a record in tho present strike as being honest, patient, attentive and faithful to a man. too faithful for their own gooC.

This may bo answered by the plain statement that of eleven killed at Morewood and twenty-five wounded, one killed, at Adelaide, and others wounded throughout the region, all were foreign, strikers and not a deputy or guard has been hurt, with the exception of a scratch on the finger or face, inflicted either by sccl- dent, or a woman. One can draw con clusions irom i ue aoova as van siue -is tbe more patient and self-contained. All this does not change the fact that the strikers aro losing ground daily, though the region as a whole Is making a poor showing in coke shipments, Oi tsido of several paciflo evictions, and one occasion where traitor wo obliged to quit work by the strikers, all was bcrene to-day, as activity was displayed in another line. Leaders and men aro preparing for -a vigorous campaign between thia and' Monday, and 1 1 i A iii, 1 er. either by inass-mceting or individually, in order to induce them to stop work.

Tho effects of this concerted move will be known Monday, and is expected to produce excellent results for the strikers, as foreigner eeem willing enough to quit work when informed of the kit un tion. but are so closely guarded it is almost impossible for the strikers to reach tltein. The last of the ities who killed the strikers at Moreyoxl wa brought back into the region to-day. lie is named Gilbert, and had suddenly left foe Somerset county, where he waa captured) by a detective. A new element wa introduced to-day at Davidson, where a number of striker donned white caps and forced a scab to quit work.

Tn addition to inronvenlenoes sufferert by near town furnaces owing to the ooke strike, a general complaint come today from tlie Mahoning, and Shenango Valley furnace that are estimated to produce one-eighth ol the entire pig iron in this country.
