Jegeti cruelty of Geo. A. Guenther, a
defenseless ulrl man who was slain by his
twelve year old son yesterday, was re
lated by Charles Guenther, an elder
brother of the murderer. The son's Btory
brands the man as a savage, fiend in cars
nate who delisted in aclsof inhumauity
toward his cfiildren. Among other bar-
barities alleged was chaining up the chil-
dren in a dismal apartment and while in
that condition torturing them with all the
cruelty practiced by the ipquisition.
have nftt lived at • hope , for five
ytits,'1 said Charles Guct\ti\cr "I left
home after one period of Slow torture
thft made me desperate, i I had done
something that my father (lid not like. It
wag a small offense, but the way my
father tortured nic would have made any
one believe ibat either he was crazy or I
had committed a terrible Crime. My
father made me go up stairs with him to
a room in the back part of the house;
here he brought out some chains and when
1 caught sight of them I set up an outcry:
but no one heard me. My father shout*
ed to me to atop that infernal noise and
when he foUnd he could not make me we
had a regular fight. Finally Jie got the
better of m® and by threatening to do me
even greater voilence compelled me to
keep quiet. Then he began to bind me
with the chains. When I thought he
had finished he took up another and fast-
ened it around my neck and fixed it I
so I could hardly move my head. Then
he left Bie several hours, during which I
suffered fearful tortures. After the lapse
of a few hours he came up stairs with a
bottle Of whiskey. He released me from
the chains and compelled me to strip from
head to foot until I stood nuue before
him. He then chained me up and took a
good siied pin and began pricking
me with it from head to
foot until I was bleeding
all over. My father then wet his fingers
from the bottle and rubbed fire over what
seemed to me every sore he had made on
inj' body, lie did not rub it all over my
body at once, but would rub over a
email space until all the stuff Bad been
rubbed in, when he would wet his fingers
again and begin on another place. The
pain w-ts terrible and excruciating. I must
have fainted, for I remained in that room
all night chained up and did not know
anything until I was released. After
that I ran a way. The boy Emil, who is
held for jseating his father to dea^h, asts
libe ati imbjeiis and it is believed ne has
been driven insane by the cruelty of his
father and by the tragedy yesterday.
Today be failed to recognize his own
brother and when appealed to almost
supplicating^ for recognition there was
a silly smilo about the murderers mouth.

munity here today presented Stanley
yf**'* caisket cont»H»ib$r ar
address praising hif.eaergy In opening
Icentral Africa to Odlriifcuje. Stanley
gratefully thanked them for their unique
comnliment and dwelt upon the prospects
for the early commercial development by
British East African companies of the
territory. He urged the imp >rtance of
connecting Mombasa on the coast with
Victoria Nyanza by railway, which
would'pasa into the heart of a region, all
parts of which teemed with a dense pops
ulation and would consequently open for
European manufactures a vast market
bow dormant and unknown.

CffKAOo, Dec. 18.—The Westerii States
Railway Passenger association was dis-
solved at a meeting of the general man-
agers today. Ten days ago at a meeting,
the matter of continuance wae$^t in the
hands of the general managers, because
of the wirhdrawal from membership of
the Burlington and Northern and Min*
neaDolis and St. Louis. These roads ab-
solutely refused to remain members unless
the Wisconsin Central showisd up its
secret contracts on passenger business in
accordance with the agreement. This
the Wisconsin Central refused to do and
to cap the climax, today absolutely re-
fused to remain a member of the associa*
tion, unless it were allowed differentia)
fare and unless fast trains on direct
Chicago and St. Paul lines were With-,
drawn. A resolution was almost unani-
mously passed dissolving the association
and throwing the whole blame on the
"preposterous demands, of. one of its
members," It waa also voted impossible
to form any new new association unless
the Wisconsin Central moderated its de-
mands
Thb Western States Association has
been the largest and most important in a
rate preserving sense of any passenger
association In the country. It is deemed
almost impossible to maintain rates witb
out the influence of the association and
western and southwestern lines will un*
doubtedly form a new association, leav
ing th-* northwe#terp lines to flftht out
