He returned to his home at Trenton on the afternoon train and carired with him two real pitch forks.' The Senator bought the pitchforks uptown and had them sent down to the union station for him at train time. They were wrapped up In pa per until they were unrecognisable and when he told Dr. Babcock what they were the doctor insisted they oi^bt to be unwrapped and carried openly by the senator, so .the paper waa fakea off and Pitchfork Ben toted the two pitchforks home on the train without any concealment. Two of the Senator’s friends. Con gressman Lever and Mr R. I. Man ning, happened to be present and as sisted ia the opening np of the char acteristic package. It was seen that the tines were tipped with gold and the senator was twitted shout hoist ing the gold standard, against which he used to proclaim eloquently ia the dayi ef “1* to I or bust" But the Senator is very much mote Interested In pitchforks sgricnltorsl than pitchforks political. The news that there will be at least one candi date to oppose h4m for reelectlon, Col. W. J. Talbert, does not seem to have disturbed him at all. Senator Tillman expects to stand for re-elec tlon to make at least a few speeches. If his heaKh Is no worse than It is now, and if he is better he may make a good many ■ perches. The Senator enjoys meeting the people and only the strict orders of his physician and of Mrs. Tillman, who has always been his chief advis er, have prevented him from going around more this summer. It is his determination to offer for a fourth term in the senate. That may be set down as certain.

P., late Tuesday and was identified by former friends and as sociates. Despite Klmmel’s identification, however, his mother, Mrs. Stella Klmmel, refused to see him. The mother continued to denouce Kim- mel as an Imposter who was attempt ing to deprive her of 825,000 insur ance which ahe had on her son’s life. While dozens of persons positively identified him as the son for whose supposed death thirteen years ago Mrs. Esteila Klmmel received $5,000 In life insurance, an equal number, was as positive that It was not the same. - Then Mrs; Klmmel, 70 years old, who had asserted that the man waa imperaonating her son merely to de prive her of the money she had al ready received and to prevent the payment of $25,000 more in insur ance to other relatives, scrutinized the man who claims her as mother. Bcougth face to face with the wo man, “Klmmel.” Just released from a five-year term in the Auburn (N. Y.) penitentiary, atreched forth hia arma and said; Mother! Don’t you know me your boy? Don't diaown me any longer. You know I am your son." Mrs. Klmmel, withdrawing from the man aa he attempted to embrace her, stood sternly scanning his facs. “No,” ahe said, “I don’t see in you any positive resemblance to my eon.” The meeting took place at the home of Mrs. H. L. Fox, who had al ready accepted “Klmmel” as cousin and positively identlled him as the •on of Mrs. Klmmel. It was made known Mrs. Klmmel has no direct in terest in any money which the Insur ance campanies refuse to pay on the ground that the son Is still living, but that a $10,000 policy ia held by a daughter. Mrs. Edna Klmmel Bons- lett, and another $5,000 policy is held by a distant relative. I would have no selfish motive In denying the Identity of my son if he were alive,” said Mrs. Klmmel. “For years I have felt sure he was dead, and 1 can not believe that this man s he. It seems that some motherly Instlct ought to tell me the truth, yet when I look at him I do not rec ognize him. He only puzzles me. It haa almost prostrated me to look upon this strange man and have peo ple insist that he Is my son.” "Klmmel,’’ on looking at the wo man, said he was positive she was his mother. “I wanted to take her In my arms,” he said," for ahe looked the same as years ago. I love her wjtb all my heart and can’t understand why ahe should Insist I am dead. Still, I will not worry Her, and 4 f aha continues tp ' disbelieve me I shall do as she wishes I know I am Klmmel, for I recognlde every one.’* To test his acquaintance with Niles ’’Klmmel” was escorted about the streets. He repeatedly pointed out landmarks and related instances which citizens said were correct. He called persons by their fml names, but many of them professed not to re cognize him as the real Klmmel. "Now to prove I am familiar with the town,” said Klmmel. "I will tell you that behind that hill there ia a big red brick house, on the south side cf which is a large dm tree, from which we used to swiug when boye.” Every one declared the statement was correct. i There was evidence after Klmmel left suggesting that he had died aid the insurance money was asked for. The Mfe insurance company is said to have expended hundreds of dollars in running down a theory that Kim- mei did not die. He was traced to Arkansas City, Kan., where, so far as hia family knew, he was last seen. Then a man answering the descrip tion of Klmmel was found in a dazed condition in 8t. Louis. He recover ed in a hospital and later left for New York, where, under the name of An drew J. White, he was arrested on a larceny charge. After more warn ings he waa found in an asylum in New York and afterward tfisced to Auburn penitentiary. * Several years .after Kimmel’s dis appearance his mother Instituted suit In the St. Louis courts to secure in- surance which she held on his life A Jury returned a verdict in her far- Or and declared Kimmel to legally dead. Upon this verdict one com pany paid Mr* Klmmel on a 15,000 policy. Another company which car- vied a $20,000 policy, however, fought the claim and carried the matter to higher courts. Tom Fragments of Paper Are Now Authorities’ Hope to Obtain Otoe to Identity of Guilty Persons. A special dispatch to The State from Hendersonville says the testi mony of fifty witnesses has not solv ed the mystery of the death of Myr tie Hawkins, whose body was found in Osceola lake thirteen days ago, but who waa not drowned. , The coroner’s Jury Wednesday found “from the testimony introduc ed that she came to her death at the hands of some unknown person or persons in a manner and by means unknown. Thia differs from the ver dict in the first Inquest by making the case one of murder. Immediately after the verdict was rendered it was announced that the Hawkins family offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of Mias Hawkins’ slayers. Added to the other rewards offered or promised, this makes a total of $2,500. Dr. W, R. Kirk, coroner, said the investigation would be continued, and if any additional evidence is discover ed a special grand Jury will be em paneled to consider It *» - There remains three possibilities of new evidence. Torn fragments of paper bearing an unfamiliar hand writing were found in Mias Hawkins’ room and have been sent to Washing ton to be put together. On the shore of Osceola lake, near where the body waa found, there haa been discovered a piece of raanila paper, blood-stain ed and bearing finger printa. The finger prints may be identified as t;>ose of somebody concerned in the crime. It is expected that Mrs. Bessie Clark Gulce will be arrested as she is thought to know something about Misa Hawkins’ death. A warrant haa been issued for Mrs. Guice in another county, accusing her of having per formed the same kind of criminal operation, as It is said was attempted on Mias Hawkina. One of the prin cipal efforts of the inquest waa direct ed toward finding who was responsi ble for Mies Hawkins’ condition. Testimony thst she waa seen with George Bradley, a recently married man, after she disappeared from home was contradicted, aa waa the testimony concerning other suspi cious circumstances.

The witnesses are ne- gioea who are alleged to have bought the drug from the accused. The conviction of Dr. Poole caused a mild sensation.

CAN’T KISS IN PillLIC. Kansas (Tty Judge Fines Husband and Wife For Doing So. —— Kissing one’s wife or husband in public places ip Kansas City Is Ille gal, according a decree issued Wed nesday by Judge Carlisle of the mu nicipal court. Judge Carlisle fined Ben Shannos and his wife $100 each for kissi&g each other in Shawnea park Tuesday night. I always thought a woman could kiss her hus- ban whenever she pleased,” Mrs. Shannos said, “What is the use of be ing married if you can’t love your husband? We haven't any home, so we go to the park when we finish work.’’ One of the moat brutal crime* known to that section for many years has come to light at Colorado Springs Col. Butchered in their beds by ■ome persons as yet unknown, who used an axe, the bodies of six par sons, three in each of two neighbor ing bouses, were found there Wed nesday. The heads of all victims bad been amaabed in and the Appearance of the bodies Indicated that they had been dead several days and that death came while they slept. A re port says that the murder has been caught and that he has confessed, but this is denied by the police of ficials, who, it Is Intimated, fesr a lynching might follow such an an nouncement. An axe which had been loaned to Mrs. Henry F. Wayne, one of the rlcUmf, by J. R. Evans, a neighbor, last week, was found, blood-etoined by (Mfi. Evans on Monday near the back door of the Wayne heme. No attention was paid to ibis fact, how ever, as It was thought the axe ImuI been used In killing chickens. The dead are: Mrs. Alice May Burnham, wife of A. J. Burnham, cook at the Modern Woodmen’s Satitarium. Their two children, Alice, aged 6, and John, aged three yeni®. Henry F. Wayne, a consumptive, until recently a patient at the Wood men’s Sanitarium. Mrs. Wayne and their one-year-old baby girl. The Burnham house Is situated at Dale street and Harrison place, and the two houses next to it on Dale afreet are vacant. Directly in the tear ia the Wayne home and close to «t is that of Evans. The discovery of the bodies was made by a neighbor, who called at the Burnham home. Not getting any response and notic ing a strong odor, she forced an en trance. The bodies of Mrs. Burnham and those of her two children were found in their beds, which wers cov ered with blood, and the wall and celling were also spattered. The woman rushed to the street and gave the alarm. Immediately a dozen persons went to the Weyne house, where there hid been no signs of Ilfs since Sunday, and the same ter rible scene was presented. In the beds were the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne and her children horrfffly mangled, as in the case of the bodies In the Burnham home. That such a crime had been com mitted In a thickly settled neighbor hood and left unrevealed tor three days la regarded aa incredible. Not even a footprint is to be found on the floor of either house and no one could be found who had seen any one about the premises since Sunday, when all the murdered persdns at different times were In a neighboring grocery. Burnham, who lives at the sani tarium where he is employed, about lenTfirrtllrfmintlrrTfr:^;- wee-wrrssta J s"on after Uie diceoevfY of 'he crime, but there seema nothing to implicate him in the tragedy. His employers say he was at work when the crime must have been committed. He'was last seen at his home Sunday after noon, and is said to have left there about 5 o’clock. Little is known of the Wayne fami ly except that Wayne came to the Modern Woodmen’s sanitarium about ten months ago from Indiana as a patient. One month ago his term In the instituiton was up and he brought hta wife and ■MM hsr* and rented the bouse in whch they #e#» akurder- ed.

The accident took place a few miles from where the American liner St, Paul and the British cruiser Gladiator col lided nearly four years ago.
