THOUGHT TO BE A RAPHAEL. Woman at Toronto in Possession of a Canvas Which Evidence Points to as of Priceless Value. Toronto. Feb 3 A rare discovery in art was made here today, which local artists say is the most sensational of the present tcennry. i A poor Toronto dressmaker had a picture of an old mosque left her by her father on which she placed little value.

Yesterday it fell and the frame broke She took it to be repaired, when on the canvas, turned over the back of the frame, "was found this of a mosque painted at Urbino by Raphael when 12 years old.

Park St Conservatory the Scene, of Tragedy. Walter Jansen of Gloucester, aged SR. shot and instantly killed Carrie Andrews, aged 18, a student of music, pul two bullets into bis own head and severed the artery in his wrist with a razor, at LI 8 yesterday, at Mrs Caroline ungers conservatory at 2A Park st. MISS CARRIE L. ANDREWS.

Both were dead when discovered. Nothing of the immediately preceding circumstances or what was tho incentivo of the moment for the sanguinary murder and suicide is known, but from letters found on the body ot the man there is no doubt that it was an affair of love. Jansen loved Miss Andrews. She asked him to either desist or wait. His affection was too ardent to be restrained.

She refused to allow him to continue his attentions, and he in anger at being thus discarded followed her to the place she was to take her ruusio lesson, quarreled and shpt her and put au end to his life. WALTER J. JANSEN. It was a desperate, resolute act. Everything shows that he was determined to kill both the girl and himself.

Some Glass Factories to Resume Operations. Others Have Never Ceased to Make Goods. Republicans Start Stories Which Are Untrue. Pittsburg, Fob 3 News from the mill districts tonight do not harmonize with the croakings of the republican minority in congress. The No.

2 works of the Pittsburg plate glass company plant at Kensington will resume operations Monday morning. The works have been idle since last Jane, and from 350 to 400 employes wlH get work. Puddle mills Nos. 2 and 4 of the National rolling millsof McKeesnort will start with the night turn Monday evening, and No. 1 mill will resume on Wednesday evening.

The entire plant will then be in operation with the exception of the 22-inch mill. Seven electrio cranes have just been erected at the Homestead steel works of Andrew Carnegie. It is claimed they will do the work of 100 men. The finishing touches are now being put on the extension to the new open hearth mill. The two furnaces in course of erection are said to be the largest in the country.

Each will hold 100 tons of metal. When nut in operation next month they will employ 100 additional workmen. An electrio traveling crane, the largest in the world, capable of carrying 150 tons, is being built to supply the furnaces and remove their products. It was given out tonight that on Wednesday last the Oliver and Roberts wire and nail mill on South Fourth street, turned out 2700 kegs of wire nails in 22 hours. This beats the record.

The tariff organs announced that Ibm-sens window glass factory would close down this evening on account of the Wilson bill. Two similar factories closed down during the last 10 days, namely, the Phillips factory. South side, and the Got-man at Avonmoro. This was because of the condition of the market and not because of the Wilson bill. When the readjustment ol wages is made on the 15th, all these factories will resume operations.

W'hile some of the window bouses have closed, their competitors are still running and propose to do so. 1L Sellers McKee said that the Jeannette plant Would continue in operation. The Chambers factory is in full blast, and the R. C. Schmertz factories will remain In operation.

No factories in Pittsburg will shut down on account of the passage of the Wilson bill. MISCHIEF BREWING. Damp, Warmish Weather Full of Peril to the Careless Neglected Colds Slip into Pneumonia. The most treacherous weather of the sea-son is now prevalent throughout New England. Wind southwest, but loaded with a penetrating insidious chill genuine grippe and pneumonia weather, say the physicians.

Wet feet, damp, draggled skirts and delay in getting home does the mischief, unless a quick means of checking the first feverish symptoms pf a cold is at hand. Saturday was a busy day among the down-town druggists. The calls for Dr Hiltons specific No. 3 for the cure of colds and the prevention of pneumonia was even larger than during the severest days of January. It Is just this kind of weather overhead and underfoot that breeds fevers, chills, grip and pneumonia.

A handy bottle of the No. 3 in the pocket will free you of any such apprehension. It promptly breaks up the first inclination to a cold or any inflammation. As a preventive remedy, says one wholesale druggist, they cant even imitate it. Pumping Water from Coreana Hold.

of health, and within a month I was mending and really better than before the grip first made my unwilling acquaintance. And now when tired from brain work or business cares I take a wine glass of celery compound on going to bed, and wake in the morning refreshed and fit to begin again the toils and meet successfully the vexations that infest the day. My wife, who is not wholly free from the ills inherent in womankind, manages with my help to consume the contents of about a half-dozen bottles of the compound a year, to the great benefit of her health and my happiness. It ought to be understood that celery compound is as grateful to the palate as good and wholesome wine, while it is more invigorating and lasting in its effects than any vintage of the fruit of the genus vitis.

H. Livingston. LAST DAY OF CARNIVAL. Quebec Goes in for Skating and Other Sports. Englishman Has Been Found Who Has a Keen Sense of Hnmor.

He Makes Ice Jokes Which are Ee-. ceived With Some Warmth. Quebec, Feb 3 The great Quebec carnival Is a thing of history. It ended with a lively day, with skating, bowling, hockey and curling matches in the morning, tumultuous snowsboe races in the afternoon and such general fun for the crowd all day that all the slides and. chutes were busy all the time.

Looking back over the carnival week, it is apparent that the little lady Ma jorie Gordon was the heorine of the whole affair. She stands out clearly as its most picturesque figure. She is only 14 years old, but she is a natural, simple, ingenious and gen uine child of those years. She looks so pretty, is dressed always so daintily and is so grave and gentle and so amiable that it does seem a pity site lives in the artificial atmosphere of a little court. There are Englishmen here who are without humor and there are some Englishmen who have plenty of it.

Dr George Stewart, editor of the Quebec Chronicle, is one of the Englishmen who possesses humor. At a formal luncheon in one of the clubs the other day he made a speech that was brim full of fun. Nothing is done in such a hurrv in this dear old place, he said. He said that the Quebecers differ from the people of New York and other cities who put np statues of their famous men in enduring bronze, and then they are sorry for it and ashamed of them, and would, but cannot, get rid of them. Here Quebec, he said, the people experiment with ice statues first, and then if they dont like them the statues melt away and no harm is done.

These ice statues and ice and castles and snow forti, he added, have all got to be removed before the first of July. If they are not taken down by that time the authorities will feel obliged to act. The sculptor Jobin, who carved the ice statues, came near failing to provide them for the carnival. He caused the pillars of ice to be built of many blocks frozen together and then went at his delicate work out in the open air, expecting to chisel the material as if it were Parian marble. But it would not chisel.

When he struck lightly it flew into powder. When he struck lmrd and incessantly it split off in most erratic and unlooked for directions. He actually had to invent new instruments, the principal one of which is something like a great pair of shears, in order to do his work. The city people have fringed their snow banks with thousands of little Christmas trees, a pretty custom peculiar to the French Canadians who decorate their smallest villages in that way on all church holidays that fall in winter. ARMOR PLATE TESTED.

For the Monitor Puritan, and It Showed Up WelL South Bethlehem. Penn. Feb 3 Another successful test of armor plate by the Bethlehem iion company was made this morning. The test involved the acceptance of nearly 400 tons of armor. Like all other tests of- armor made by the company it was entirely satisfactory, and will result in passing of the entire group of plates and their accept ance by the government.

The plate is for the monitor Puritaa, now being finished at the Brooklyn navy yard. The first shot penetrated the plate to the depth of 12 inches. There was no radiating cracks and an even fringe about the hole rose four inches high. The velocity of the projectile was 1381 feet per second. Was on That March to the cea.

Charleston, SC, Feb 8 Gen Chas. Stol-brand, who was chief of artillery in John A. Logans corps, and so served with Sherman on his march to the sea. died suddenly this evening in this city. EDITOR J.

H. Bennington, Vt, Dec. 16, 1893. In the spring of the year 1891 I was attacked with grip. I was laid by from business for about two months, a portion of the time as sick a man as ever lived through that mysterious disease.

From the effects of the attack I was really ill all summer, weak and tired and dispirited. In the spring of the year 1892 I suffered another onslaught of the same disease, and lost seventeen pounds of flesh in two weeks. I went back to my duties again with a settled conviction that I would be obliged to pass through another summer of misery, but happily I resorted to the use of Paines celery compound, doubtingly I admit, for was chary of so-called proprietary med- "rst bottle icines. But before the first bottle was used, conviction dawned upon me that here was the elixir, if not of life, still HE IS GONE. Said He Married Mrs Greene for Her Money Only.

Borrowed $1500 from Her and Skipped With Her Diamonds and Jewelry. Bought a Providence Saloon at $10 Down with $2990 on Tick. Feb 3 One of the cleverest and most herrtless swindlere that has struck this vicinity in a long time has just closed a months career here and departed for fresh fields. He called himself Frank Kraffts. when he engaged board at the house of Mrs Keina Metzkear, at 189 Pine st.

on Jan 2. He took the best room in the house and on the same day he became acquainted with Frederick Wolbert, a young German bartender, employed at John Gauchs beer saloon, 186 Pine st. Kraffts amused himself at the saloon In company with Wolbert for a day or so, talking of things in general and incidentally about Mrs Eunice A. Greene, a widow of wealth, who resides in the upper portion of the same house with Mrs Metzkear. It only required three days for Kraffts to become acquainted with Mrs Greene, and by playing the part of Lothario he soon had the widow in love with him.

Kraffts constantly talked of his adoration for the widow, and on Jan 10 marriage was proposed and on Jan 12 a license was procured. The next day the wedding took place. Rev Dr Henry Rugg officiating. There was quite a reception and celebration at the house on Pine st, and the event caused much gossip, largely on account of the difference in the ages of the couple. Widow Greene is over 50, while Kraffts is but 34.

He convinced the widow though that he was 42, and that he had fullv sown his wild oats, and wanted only love from her, and no money. Kraffts was filled with schemes, and he talked of at once going into business in Providence. He said he had $7000 in a safe deposit in New York, and he displayed a draft on Minneapolis for 3600. In company with Wolbert he went to Theodore Brauns lager beer saloon opposite the state house, and bought it out. He paid $10 down and displayed the draft.

He took custody and Braun was to have his money in 12 days, as time would be required to get the money from the west. Braun knew Airs Greene was wealthy, ana he considered the bargain all right as long as she was now Airs Kraffts. For, 10 days Wolbert. as the clerk for Kraffts, (on-ducted the business at the Braun saloon and took all receipts. During this 10 days Braun was waiting for the $3000, the price agreed noon for the saloon, and Air and Airs Kraffts were on their honeymoon in Philadelphia, Albany and New York.

On the strength of his riches in those cities and the west and the $3600 draft which was placed at the Commercial national bank, the wealthy brido loaned $405. then $800, and finally $300 to Kraffts. The bridal tour extended to Philadelphia. thence to New York, where the 1 Si Tlnniu Vt I bridal chamber at St Denis hotel was secured. In company with the bride and groom was the daughter of Mrs Kraffts, who is the wife of a Boston policeman.

A very pleasant time was passed until three days ago, when Airs Kiaifts went into the apartment of her daughter at St Denis hotel to get a hath. She left Kraffts in the bridal apartments. and in her trunk she locked, her uiamoude, jewelry and other valuables. When she returned from lier daughters room Kraffts was gone and with him all her effects of value. Everything in the room was upside down.

She came the next morning to Providence and called upon Theodore Braun. Wolbert was still charge. Neither he nor Braun had seen anything of Kraffts. Biaun is $400 or 8300 out, while widow Greene expended about has now to pay for a divorce. The diamond wedding ring bought in Boston by Kraffts was taken again by him Defore flight from the St Denis.

Widow Greene has a fortune of some city houses, and has leeu considered a good business woman. but she says slug'll in love with Kraftts. for that was talked. 1 he HOWLAND. H.

HATHAWAY AND A. H. HADING.) of the two men, saying that she hesitated to do so in the first place only because she feared it might embarrass the proprietor and bring upon the hotel undesired notoriety. She apparently knows a great deal more about the matter than she is willing at present to divulge, but as far as identify, ing Howlands picture as Hathaway was concerned she did so positively. Hathaway upon several oocasions told nurse Scott that he was a civil engineer and dabbled in patents; he showed engineering books and tools and was In com-munication with several engineering firms in New York relative to a position or the negotiation of a loan.

He was always short of money and was in touch with Boston parties during his whole stay in New York. It is known that Howland had a $5000 policy on his life in the Mutual life insurance company of New York and for a similar amount in theTravelers insurance com-pany of Hartford, Conn. Besides these it is stated upon the best of authority that just prior to hie disappearance he took out $50,000 more in several other companies. None of these companies have as vet settled. The proof was too incomplete.

It is the establishment of thls proof that Howland now seeks, and this is the reason why he Has Since Been In Exile, Howland is not the man, mentally or physically, that once characterized him as a model husband, a good business man and a man of good health and habits. His mental sufferings, according to nurse Scott, were extremely acute. He had deserted his home, family and friends, and for dollars and cents. He brooded over this night and day, and if the truth were known, instead of being ill with the grip as the doctor asserted, he was afflicted with the consciousness of having wronged a wife, broken up a happy home, ruined his reputation and prospects, besides perpetrating a series of crimes the outcome of which would be most serious. The doctors medicines did him no good and he craved opiates morphine which was given him two or three times a day.

He became sallow, hollow-eyed and irri. table. lie spoke seldom to anyone, and what financial schemes he had on hand to push through he did in the half-hearted manner of a man who had repented, but had gone too far to halt. There were but one or two persons in Boston to whom he could write and through whom he could expect to hear from his family. He wrote them often and his mails brought as many answers.

They were, however, from the man or men who were presumably implicated in the conspiracy And Were Uiulnesa Communications. Of all the evidence so far adduced, the following letter of recommendation, which Hathaway used while here, is one of the most conclusive. It was copied by Mr Scott a few days after he took charge of Mr Hathaway boston, Mass, Dec 5, 1893. To Whom It May Concern: I have known A. II.

Hathaway for some years and believe him to be a capable, trustworthy engineer. lie lias had large experience In waterworks, sewers, electric and steam railroads and is fully able to carry out the designing and constructing of any work that he may be willing to undertake. Yours respy, A. H. Howland.

General office of Howland Ac Ellis, 46 Bell Telephone budding, 125 Milk st, Boston, Mass. It was tvpQwritten and signed with a pen. and was used by Mr Hathaway upon several occasions when the matter ot good faith in his dealings with hotels and business houses was in question. He used it on Scott when the latter clamored for several days pay due and on Mr Robertson while negotiations for bis patent were hanging fire. The fact that A.

H. Hathaway, who has been fully identified as A. II. Howland, should have a paper of this sort in his possession signed with his real name and guaranteeing the integrity of his alias, is only one more link in the complete chain of evidence detailed below. The details of the movements of A.

H. Howland upon his arrival in New York are extremely interesting. It is not known how he effected his departure from the Pilgrim, but it is presumed that he passed off the boat among the other passengers, as he had ample clothing with him that would enable him to do so. That he left in his stateroom one rubber and one overshoe, a coat and vest, does not disprove the fact that lie could have walked away under cover of an overcoat Continued on tho Second Pig, ARTHUR H. (IDENTIFIED IN NEW YORK AS A New York, Feb 8 Arthur IL Howland, the Boston civil engineer and a member of the engineering firm of Howland Ellis, 125 Milk st, has not committed suicide; nor was he foully dealt with or accidentally drowned.

During an attack of vertigo be was supposed to have fallen or jumped from the Fall River line steamboat Pilgrim on the night of Dec 29. on that boats trip to New York. As evidence, his effects were found in stateroom 115 next morning when the steamer docked. He is.however.alive and well, and within the past few weeks has been seen by several parties in New York, and fully identified by as many more, and is- now within easy reach of New York awaiting the developments of what seems to be a conspiracy to defraud several insurance companies out of many thousand dollars. In New York Mr Howland was known as A.

H. Hathaway and A. H. Hading. Hotel registers divulge the secret.

Hotel proprietors. clerks and stenographers stand ready to swear to his identity, and several New York physicians and nurses are sure that Howland is Hathaway that Hathaway, Howland and Hading are one and the same man. The Globe has not secured this identification without an effort. It has taken weeks to accomplish this task. Money was not spared.

This city was scoured from end to end, and a chain of evidence secured which is at once so clear and conclusive that no court in the country could with equity reject it. Howland was clearly a beginner. He tried to disguise himself but failed, and when he thought himself safe opened negotiations with several New York parties, looking toward the establishment of pretended business relations which in several cases fell through and involved him in Remarkable Complications. When Howland lauded in New York he had but one shirt to his back and a portion of a suit of clothes. At the Putnam house, where lie registered on the morning of Dec 30, he had a canvas trunk and bag but they were filled with books and civil engineering implements.

He was taken ill with the grip soon after his arrival, and M. C. Scott, of 433 4th av, a trained nurse, was summoned to attend him. Today Scott fully identified Howlands picture, but as Hathaway, the man he attended at the Putnam house. Id know that man in a thousand, Scott said today to The Globe correspondent.

1 was with him 10 days. Thats A. H. Hathaway, Ill take mv oath. Proprietor C.

K. Haskell of the Putnam also identified the picture of Howland as that of Hathaway, as did the clerks. While at the Putnam Hathaway met a Mr Louis A. Robertson of San Francisco, who had an interest in a patent clock to sell. In return for the interest Mr Hathaway gave a forged draft on Isaao C.

Wyman. Salem, Mass, which Mr Wyman repudiated. The amount of the draft was $2150, and Mr Hathaway had planned that Mr Robertson would pay the difference between the amount paid for the interest in the patent and the amount of the draft, about $900, but the Californian was too shrewd, and the draft was put through for collection. Nurse Scott retains in his possession letters and telegrams which are exact counterparts of A. H.

Howlands handwriting. These are in The Globes possession and are in themselves proofs of the mans identity. One telegram was sent in cipher to A. P. Jones, care of Ivers, Pond Co, Boston, and asked tor a remittance.

Other letters and telegrams were sent to parties in Boston by Mr Hathaway, asking for money, and go to prove that certain Boston people were keeping him supplied with funds until The Scheme wai Palled Through. From the Putnam. Hathaway went to a larger and more prominent hotel, where he took rooms and where his doctors and nurses were installed. The name of this well-known hostelry is withheld out of courtesy to the proprietor, who states that Hathaway and Howland are one and the same person, and the clerks, bell boys and chambermaids are as positive as their employer. The stenographer and typewriter at this hotel is a woman.

During Mr Hatha ways stay he dictated many letters of a business and personal nature to her, and upon one occasion took her to lunch. She saw considerable of him, and today, when confronted with Mr Howlands photograph at first denied her knowledge of him, but later when she had seen the proprietor she fully established the identity It Was Her Second Marriage.
