Speaker of the House of Representatives, ll
required but two ballots to accomplish it,
and Vajor Wiiliam McKinley. Jr., his most
forcnidaOle competitor, bad tb honor of
milking li)e choice unanimous.
The result of the great contest was receiv
ed with demons! rations of delight by those
who have from the first tougln to place the
Portland boy in the ciiair. The Empire
Stat delegation, which voted to a man for
the Maine giant, and which, under the ad
mirable leadership of James J. Beldin, baa
lor months been laboring for Mr. Reed s
uccew, wai the recipient of the heartiest
congratulations from toe moment the battle
was won.
CATDtBIKU FOB THE FEAT.
Hours before high noon, for which time
the caucus had been called, the lobbies of
the House were jammed with visitors who
hoped to get a peep at what was comiDg.
Tli Boor of the Hall of Representati ves was
early thronged with Congressmen, he som
bre garments of the notional legislators mak
ing a strong contrast with the new emerald
carpet which was spread out beneath them.
Thomas B. Kecd, confident and happy, !
and accompanied by HenrxJ'-abbott Lodge
and Thomas M. Payne, reached the Caj.iiol
just afier 10 o'clock, and pitched his tent
right in the ball itself. Major McKinley,
arreneand santruine, with his alert lieuten
ants. Major Butterworth, tien. I'.rosvenor.
and Judge Thompson, soon after arrived aud
established his 'headquarters in the River
and Harbor Committee rooms. I'ucle Joe
Cannon and General Henderson bunked to
gether in the Appropriations Onimittee
room, while Julius Oesar Burrows marshal
ed his forevs in the council chamber of the
Committee on Naval Affairs.
CAM'! DATES COCKTIKO 50i-KS.
The nex two hours were consumed in
counting noses. Then the Representatives
trooped into the star chamber, the doors
were closed with a bang, and a few moments
after noon the caucus began.
Cencral T. J. Henderson, of Illinois, was
fpecdily chosen chairman, an a-t which
tickled much the suprter of Cannon.
Messrs. McComas of Man land and Wallace
of New York were made secretaries. Then
Major Butterworth sprang up from beside
the "little Napoleon" and moved that the
ballot for Sjieaker proceed, and that the
ballot be an open one.
The McKinleyiies bad tveeived an intima
tion that the R'ed people deired a secret
ballot, and concluded that it was just what
tliey did not want and would not have. The
roll disclosed the surprising fact that no less
than ICo of the Republicans were in
their seats. Wilber, of New York, had been
detained at home by illness, while Coleman
of Louisiana, and McOormicfc, of Pennsylva
nia, were also absent. All three had pledged
themselves to Reed, and had they been
present be might have been nominated on
the first ballot.
AS Ol-rS FALLOT CHOSEN.
Hermann, of Oregon, arrived just in time
to cast his vote for the Maine statesman on
second ballot. The open-ballot system was
approved with scarcely a dissenting voice.
Then the roll call was repeated, each mem
ber ribing in his seat and announcing his
preference for Speaker, (ieorge K. Adams,
of Illinois, was the first on the list, to shout
in deep, ronm! tones, "Joseph 0. Cannon,"
and as the call proceeded Uncle Joe got scat
tering votes from West to South, which
brought his total up to twenty-two, or four
teen lesi than he had claimed the nijrht be
fore. His own Stale stood by him nobly,
giving its thirteen all it had to its favor
ite. Burrows held his own in Michigan, get
ting its nine votes and one (Bowden) from
Virginia. Henderson wa faithfully cham
pioned by his ten lowana. Honsbrougb,
Picklerand Gifford, from the new States,
heljieil him to three more, while the South
contributed enough to make his total six
teen. The ballot, so far as the leading can
didates Wire concerned, was a surprise, not
to the Reed people, but to the McKinleyites.
SHIN..INH tKTO LIKE roS BEtll.
The Portland favorite bad been conceded
72, but during the morning six more bad
jumped into the Reed oorral, making his to
tal 7S, or but live le than a majority. New
Kngland gave him SI. As New York swung
into line and planked down her solid IS the
Reed men could not suppress a cheer. Penn
sylvania added 15, while little New Jersey
contributed two of her four to his column.
Wisconsin sent R!ed stock away up again
by seven points, much to the chagrin of the
Westerners, while scattering votes from the
Nortbwt and Pacilic slope, together with
three from the South, placed the Maine boy
away beyong the limit conceded him by his
opponents. Whereas McKiuley s adhnients
bad stoutly asserted that he would have at
least .V votes, he fell short of it by no less
than Pi.
Ohio stood gallantly by him and heled
him to her whole ltj. Pennsylvania gave
him five aud the other IS making a total
of 39 came in ones and twos from the West
and South.
BEEI AX EASY WIXSKR OX EOOM.
The story of the second ballot i9 soon told.
Reed needed but five votes to capture the
nomination. Calbertson, of Pennsylvania,
was the first and only one of MiKinley's
Keystone State friends to desert tlie Otiioau.
Hambrough Picklerand iiifrd from the
new States kissed Henderson good by and
enlisted with the K -ed army. LyDn, of Min
nesota, also gave his vote to Reed.
BiTgen, of New York, who bail voted on
the previous ballot for Cannon, also surren
dered, and with the vote of Herman, of Or
egon, the Maine statesman's total was sent
away up to S , or one more than a majority.
As soon as il became apparent that Reed
had secured a victory Major MeKiniey aiose
and in a felicitous speech moved that the
nomination lie made nr.auim mi. The prop
osition was approved with a who ip.
Mr. Reed, in returning gratitude for the
honor con lerred, spoke at leng;n in a happy
style, bis address being punctured with sp
pis use.
REED IS CnXOKESS.
How Tom Reed awoke one day or, rather
read the newsers one morning to find
himself famous is pretty generally known
Eighteen wnidadid it. Not long after having
taken his seat in Congress be waa making a
little speech when some member interrupt
ed him bv an annoying question. Reed
answered him ; then, in bis high, nasal
tones, drawled out :
"And now, having embalmed that fiy in
the liquid amber of my remarks, I will go
on again.
This shaft of wit hit the newspaporial
bnll'a eye, aud from that time Tom Reed's
name was a familiar one throughout the
country.
Mr. Reed in bis domestic relations is sig
nally blest. His wife fnee Susan Merrill of
Centre Harbor, Me.) is a well-read, cultivat
ed, refined lady, of mediam height, dark
hair and ey is, possesses fine conversational
powers aud ia socially charging. She
is popular with the ladies of Washing
ton, where for tlie twelve years of her hus
band's Congressional life she has passed her
minters.
Tom Reed has sharp, apt, pungent wit ;
and this is not all, for behind his wit are
brains, and plenty of them. His high stand
ing Is no nnlt of accident or witty trickery,
but is the logical sequence of fine Intellectual
gifts srp l(mentd by hard study and in
dtfatigable work ; and yet be lacks tlie arts
and finest cf the trained diplomat or politi
cian. He is earnest, blunt, straightforward,
and. shall I say it? willful. Once having
made op his mind to a certain line of action
he clings to it with dcgg.d tenacity. This
trait has more tfian on, r.arly lost bim hii
Congressional election. lie knoaa it, bnt
nevertheless is bound to do his on think- i
ii g and hi o n acting, aJI the some. Jt is 1
not ii bis nature to be all things to ad msn.
But whelli- r on the tloor of the House, or
in Ike Speaker's t hair. Hon. Thomas B. Reed
u. inu.iltctusl'y as well as physically, a big
man.
Edwaid McPhevson of Pennsylvania, who

SOLDIERS' RIGHTS.
An Appeal Issued by the Service
Pension Association.
IsniAKAPOLis, Isn., December 2. As Presi
dent of the Service Pension Association of
the I'nited Slates, Governor Alvin P. Hovey
has ifsued an address entitled: ' Soldiers'
Rights An appeal to the Loyal People of
the Cnited Slates and Tueir Represei itatives
in Congress."
The first portion of the address explains
that the Service Pension Association doe
not mean to interfere with the system of
disability pensions now in operation, but
aski, independent of it, a pension for every
mau who served i) days or more in the
I'nkin army. This is not meant to be only
for the support of the survivors, but for a
mark of honor, something as the Victoria
cross and the French cordon of Honor.
The address says : "T ie soldiers ot the
revolution, of the war of 1H12 15, with Mexi
co, with all our Indian wars, were generous
ly given lands by millions of acres, aud pen
sions bsve been refuse.!, with billions of
acres of public domain and a surplus in our
treasuiy that tbeingenuity of our statesmen
has been unable to exhaust." Again it says :
"We are flippantly told that our pension
laws are ample and the, imM beneficent in
the world, and that no ex-soldier has the
right to find the least fault with the gener
osity and the paternal care of our Govern
ment' The final paragraph of the address is as
follows: "Send no representatives to Con
gress who will not honestly and earnestly
support your just claims and demands.
Send no one who is so siupid, blind or prej
udiced th.it be cannot sec and understand
them, and be sure you send no one who will
not contend for your honor and your rights
with as much loyalty and zeal as you fought
for the preservation of the t'nion ; and von
should send neither laggards nor cowards
for your representatives, for they do not be
long to your rank. The disloyal will howl
for every dollar the Government may pay
you, and a iare part of a subsidized press
will teem with articles of abuse against your
advocates and your rights. Stand firm,
close your ranks and meet the charge of
your enemies sir-iin, and though you may
only have a few short hours of your furlough
of life, you will once more be victorious and
conquer."
An Qrder Issued by Ceneral Raum.
The following order has been promulgated
from the pension ollice :
DF.rETMKNT or the I.vTEKioa, Bureau of
Pensions, Washington. I). C, Nov. 25, 1S.S!I.
Order 118. Great care must be exercised
in the rejection of applications for pension.
No cise should be rejected until every avail
able source of information has been exam
ined, unless the objection be clearly UKn
legal points. All letters rejecting claims
shall be brought to the deck of the commis
sioner for signature. No rejected claim will
be reopened, except upjn new and material
evidence going to the caus of rejection.
The deputy commissio'iers will have juris
diction to reopen claims in the divisions re
spectively assigned to their charge. In all
ci"s where evidence is filed for the reopen
ing of cases, the heads of adjudicating di
visions will, at the proper time, cause to be
prejiared a brief statement of the facts on
slips for the action of the deputy commis
sioner, who shall note his action thereon,
whereupon the claimant shall immediately
be informed by letter of the action of the

Geeks B. Rack,
Commissioner.
Butler, of South Carolina, Sit Down.
From tlie Boston Traveller.
Butler, of South Carolina, now in the
United Slates Senate, is an example of what
has come to be known as Southern impu
dence. This phase of Southern character is
displayed in the sentiment that the South
erner is above criticism. Butler has lately
lectured the country for what he is pleased
to state as asersion of the Confederate sol
dier in calling him a traitor to the flag and
a rebel agiinst the Vnited States Govern
ment. In just what terms Butler would
have us speak of those who fired on the flag
and sought for four years to break up the
government we are not informed. It would
be well for Butler to remember that lectur
ing the loyal people is not the forte of a man
whose indece nt violation of constitutional
obligations since the war outdid bis unholy
treason in the war. The less we have of
Butler the better for the South.
Keep Your Eye on Scott.
From the Pittsburgh Commercial tiwette.
Tbe record that Wiiiiain L. Scott has, and
thc'additioiis be makes toil from time to
time, must not be forgotten. Evidence from
most every county in the Slate points to bis
serious Intention of contesting for the Sena
torship now held by Cameron in 1WU. Scott
is a desperate fighter, and has unlimited
means at bis nommand. and the Republicans
should see to it that their nominations for
the next Legislature are tlie very best. He
could not be elected to any important office
if the people voted, but if lie should roil bis
big barrel into the mid.it of a corrupt legis
lature the prospects Would not be bad for the
great labor and protection State of the
Union having to represent it in the Senate
one of the most dangeruns enemies of labor
and protection that the country has pro
duced. Terrible Explosion.
Oil City, Novemlier 30. Six thousand
pounds of nitro glycerine belonging to the
Torpedo Company, of Warren, were being
unloaded Irons a boat a mile below Oil City
to dsy. and taken to a branch magazine, two
miles from the river. Twenty-four hundred
pounds bad been removed, wheuat 2 o'clock
this afternoon a terrific explosion uocurred,
shaking tlie whole city and- breaking the
window in all parts of the town.
Tbe mangled remain of Jjmc Fisher
and FJward Huffman, both sous of wid iwi,
residing south of Oil City, were found near
the scene of the explosion. Two guns were
found in the vicinity, belonging to boys
who were out bunting, and who were last
seen shooting at a mark near tbe location of
the glycerine, it is supposed that both
were kilK-d.

AWFUL SCENt AT A FIRE.
Seven hlsn Killed and Nin Injured
tn Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Dec 1. Seven human lives
and ifciuf.uuo wonh of property was sacrificed
last night by u fire that originated in the
rooms of the Union League, on the third
fl.or of tho Minneapolis TrOmius building,
llie fire was discovered shortly after ten
o'clock by a district messenger, and almost
before an alarm could be turned in every
door and window of the immense seven
story building was belching fire and smoke.
Thre were upward of 80 men, including tbe
editorial steff and a force of compositors, at '
work on the seventh Boor, and these were
Intied in like sheep by ths sheets of flsuie
that separated thenij.from the elevator and
stairway. ......
As soon as possible t he fi rc depart tuent gat
a ladder up to the sixth floor, and from there
thirty or forty men were taken out of the
building. Those who were on ths roof dared
not descend, and several jumped to the roofs
of adjoining buildings and escaped with a
few bruises.
OM I BAKBOWIKO SCKN'CS.
Dr. Olson, President of the University of
Dakota, seeing all means of escape cut off,
essayed to jump and slipped and fell to the
edge of the window on the sixth story and
from there to the ground. He was instantly
killed. j
J. F. Igoe, night operator for the Associa
ted Press, stuck to bis post till it wai too
late to escape. He was frightfully burned
about tbe head, and in bis agony, jumped
from the burning building and was killed.
Agent Miles, of the Associated Press,
whose home is in Detroit, Michigan, at
tempted to follow Ltoe, but fell back into
the crater of lianies and was burned to a j
crisp.
Milton A. Pickett, a reporter for the Pio
neer Pre$, whose office was in the Tribune
building, was caught, with a companion
named Pierce, on the stairway and there
they were roasted to death and subsequently
crushed to a pulp by falling timbers.
While the tire was at its height, J. Mc-
Cutcheon appeared in one of the windows
of the composing room and jumped into a
net held by tbe firemen below. The weight
of bis body carried the net to the stone lave
ment and he died in a few moments after be
ing picked up.
A few minutes after be had jumped anoth
er of the printers appeared at the window
on the opiwsite side of the room. He ap
peared crazed by fright, and, instead of
waiting for a ladder which was being raised,
pulled a revolver and, placing the muzzle to
his head, fired. The report was heard in the
street and the man was seen to drop to the
floor. His name could not be learned.
Meanwhile, Charles A. Smith, the elevator
mau Kii the night service, did heroic work
in the interior of the building. He was a
new man, having only been in the place
since the first of the week. After the fire
started he made five trips (the last when tbe
shaft was actually on lire) and saved a num
ber of people. Smith is certain that more
people were burned than have been reported.
He says that about five minutes before the
fire was discovered he carried a lady to tbe
sixth tloor. She asked for the editorial rooms
of tlie Pluttetr Pi ta, which were in the same
building. He did not take her back in the
elevator, aud he ia sure she could not have
gone down the stairway.
Smith also says that a tall young man
with a black moustache shot himself on tbe
seventh floor, near the composing room
door. Smith was up on bis hist trip and
called to the young man to come into the el
evator, but he seemed dazed bv the heat and
smoke and deliberately drew a revolver and
fired at bis own head, falling dead. Just be
fore be fired the shot he exclaimed : "My
God! My wife and ;" then the bullet
did its work.
A FIERCE FIRE IN BOSTON.
Buildings Covering two Acrea Burned-Loss,
$5,000,000.
RuSTO. Nov. 28. Tbe first general alarm
sent out in liostin since the big fire of H72
was rung this morning for a tire which
started in the building occupied by Brown,
Durrell Si Co., oil Bedford street, and which
proved to be iu a twinkling more than the
first, second and third detachments could
readily handle.
The loss by flims and by damage from
water is estimated to-night at $j,0UO,UU0.
Tbe first alarm was soundjd at 3:15, aud
tbe building in wbieh tbe fire started, al
ways thought to be fireproof, burned like a
tinder box, and the H lines rose hundreds ol
feel into the air. Second and third alarms
were rung iu, aud at there was issued a
general alarm, which brought apratus
from Cambridge, S imerville and Ciieisea.
TWO ACaKS UCSKKU ocr.
The fire raed for six hours aud the burn
ed district extended over tivoaces of ground
which was covered wiih structures of the
best class. Tbe fire was first seen bursting
from the top of the Brown building, at Bed
ford and Kingston streets. It was over the
elevator shaft and probably originated in the
shaft. The blaze was discovered by a letter
carrier, who notified a policeman. The
ottioer turned in the alarm at the same box
from which the great fire of l.i'J was sound
ed. The latter tire started at Kingston and
Sumner streets.
Fourteeu firemen were knojked down in
Kingston street by fragmeuts of a falling
wall but all escaped ser ous injury. About
a dozen firemen aud policemen' are at the
hospitals su Ik-ring from lacerations, bruises
aud broken limb. The insurance coiUjiiii
ies will lose ai much by to d iy's fire as they
bave received ia premiums oil li ton prop
erty for the entire year. Toeir losses iu 1889
had been unusually heavy before this final
misfortune came.
Should Drunkenness be Punished?
The Philadelphia Times in answer to tbe
above question says : "The free and exhaus
tive discussion of tbe evils of drunkenness
during the last few years has developed a
searching inquiry into the question of treat
ing drunkenness as a crime against society.
"Most o( the egitation for public sobriety
bas been directed ag lints tbe keepers of ho
tels and saloons as if they were the sole
criminals, while the drunkard who willfully
brutalises himself has been treated as the iu
noiciit victim ofthe rum seller.
"Now, the question of sternly punishing
drunkenness as a crime is very generally
discussed, and with a strong tendency ot
public sentiment to demand the recognition
of drunkenness as a crime for which the
drunkard is responsible, and punish him
with such severity as would be likely to
repress this very common vice.
"It is simply the sickliest of sentimentali
ty to treat tbe drunkard as tbe helpless vic
tim of the rumseller. He is tempted, of
course, by the gilded saloon and by social
customs to cultivate and gratify his appetite
for intoxicating drinks; but who that com
mits crime is not tempted?
"The State of Minnesota has already clear
ly defined the crime of drunkenness by
statute with severe penalties for every viola
tion of sobriety as a violation of law, and
the sooner that like laws are enacted in all
the 8tates of the Union, tbe sooner will the
most practical and the most just methods be
adopted to suppress one of our commonest
and moat demoralizing crimes."

and all preparations bad been made to cele
brate the bappy event
A factory near Washington was blown

Deserted Hia Wife and Child.
I.npiasa, Pa., Nov. 2".!. The tongues of the
good old U'woiix of this ipiiet village were
Set hiisy wagging to-day by the news thai A.
L. Johnston, who lives near here, had eloped
wiiu the pretty young wife of Sherman Sea
nor, of South Mahoning township. The
elopement occurred two we-ks ago, but the
families of both parties, who are counted
among the best families in the county, have
kept tbe matter so secret that it did not leak
out till to-day. ' The conple were traced to
SalUhurg and Johnstown, and are now sup
posed to be iu Cincinnati. A. .. Johnston
is a brother of J. f. 'Johnston, of llttsburg,
who was the Pmhibilion candidate forftiaie
Treasurer at tne recent election. Two years
ago X- L. Johnston married Miss Mary Me
Gaughy, daughter of a wealthy real estate
deak t of this place. ' She is at present wit h
her child at her father's home, but refuses to
make any statement. M rs. Seanor was for
merly a resideut of Aimstrong county, and
no reason can be assigned for her prv sent ac
tion. Her husband wilt apply for a dione.
. James Neff Acquitted.
Wasbixutos, Pa., Nov. 29. After being
out tbree hours the jury in the trial of James
Neff, for the murder of William McCausland
this afternoon brought iu a verdict of not
guilty. The prisoner was at once discharg
ed from custody. He w.is very pale but
entirely composed while wailing for the
verdict.
Tbe actjuittal of Nelf is likely to prolong
this now celebrated case a year or two more.
Neff was convicted iu Greene county, but
secured a new trial, and then, upon the al
legation that public sentiment was such that
a fair trial was impartial in Greene, the case
was removed to Washington.
William McCausland, an Allegheny City
stock dealer, was murdered for the purpose
of robbery along the river in Greene county
two years ago last September. Zach Taylor
and George Clark are now under sentence of
death for the crime and will shortly be
hanged. Several others have been tried for
complicity iu the murder. The authorities
of Greene county bave had Jacob Penning
ton employed as an agent to secure testi
mony bearing upon the case for almost two
years past and nearly every terra of court
during that period bas been marked by the
trial of one of the accused or argument of
the law points involved. The defendants
belong to what is known as the Clark and
Taylor crowd, a clannish set of backwoods
people, who have fought the prosecution
with a determination rarely witnessed.
The Knot Slipped.
Grrtwi, Oxt.. Novemh;r 2T. Wm. H.
Harvey, who in March last murdered his
wife and two daughters, was hanged at 8
o'clock this morning.
The execution was one of the worst pieces
of bungling ever witnessed.
The weight which lifted the body was not
heavy enough, and the scaffold was not high
enough to give sufficient rebouud to break
the condemned man's neck, and hia strug
gles and contortions as he was slowly strang
led to death were frightful. To add to the
horror of the hanging tbe knot sliped, and
the gurgling in the man's throat as his life
was being choked out could be beard out
side the jail walls.
Du ring the night the Rev. Mr. Dixon
passed several hours with the doomed man,
and again visited bim early this morning.
Harvey slept well and this morning ate a
heariy breakfast. The death warrant was
read to him 7.55 and bis arms were iinion
ed anl the procession headed by Rev. Mr.
Dixon, marched to the scallold. Harvey
looked haggard and raised his eyes only
once. The prayers for the dead of the Epis
copal Church were said, during which Har
vey's legs were pinioned and the cap drawn
down. The rope was then cut and the
frightful scene above described ensued.
Jumped From a Train.
WAsui.foTos, Dec. 1. Frank MacArthur,
a young lawyer of New York city, the son
of Judge Arthur MacArthur, of this city,
committed suicido this evening by jumping
from the limited express on the Pennsylva
nia road, between Baltimore and Washing
ton, while the train was running at full
speed.
JuJge MacArthur was traveling with bis
son, who had been somewhat dissipated
lately, and was bringing him to his home In
Wa hington in hopes ot reforming him.
Just after the train crossed the Patuxent
River, a .out fifteen miles from Washington
young MacArthur slipped away from his
father and rusbing out on the platform of
tbe parlor car, threw himself from the car.
Tbe train was stopped and backed nearly
half a mile, where his body was found hor
ribly mangled.
He Killed Only One Mnn During Hia
Term of Imprisonment.
Colcmdcs, November 23. Governor For
aker last night granted a pardon to William
Carroll, who was serving a lifis sentence in
the Ohio Penitentiary. Carroll was convict
ed twen'y-two years ago for the murder of
Adam Rose, watchman of the Brown Coun-
j ty Court Home. The crime was committed
iu an attempt to rob the Treasury vaults of
that county. The history of Carroll is one
ofthe most dramatic and intensely inter
esting chapters in the criminal annals of
this country. He eped the detective after
arrest, went west, married a daughter of
Major Armstrong, of the United Slates army,
and became a resident of Illinois. In that
State he wai captured afier be had served in
the war ofthe rebellion.
Since his incarceration in the Ohij Peni
tentiary he murdered a L-lhiw-prisouer in a
burst of passion. There has always been
much doubt as to the identity ofthe noted
prisoner, as he was convicted entirely on cir
cumstantial evidence, and this, together
w.th his general good behavior in prison.
Caused his pardon.
An Editor Shot.
Oode.x, Utah, Dec. 1. A sensation was
created here yesterday afternoon through
the shooting of C. 8. King, editor of lb
Z.ii7? lh inn. by ex-Uuited States Deputy
Marshal Exum, of this place. The trouble,
which has been pending for several days,
originated in the publication by the Vuiun
of an article reflecting on the chatacter of
Exura's wife. King was waited on by Ex
um next diy, and published an ap-jlogy for
slander, but aggravated the original offense
by subjoining an innuendo, which so infuri
a ted Exnm that, upon meeting King on the
street, about four o'clock yesterday, Exum
drew a pistol and shot him twice, one Wound
being dangerotn but not necessarily fatal.
No Wonder He Was Impatient.
Nw York, Nov. 28 Alderman Walker
performed an interesting marriage ceremo
ny at the city ball yesterday. The groom,
Carl Schuleubnrg, a billiard table manufac
turer of Detroit, is sixty-one years old, and
was taking to himself a third wife. The
bride, Helina Helling, of E-ist S.iginaw,
Michigan, is fitty-one years old, and waa
taking her second husband. The groom im
patiently called upon the alderman to make
tbe ceremony short, and this, with the ca
resses that were exchanged as soon as the
words were spoken, gave the look of a love
match to the ceremony. The preceding cer
emony in a lawyer's office, by which $100,
000 worth of real estate was conveyed by the
bride to tbe groom was, on tbe other band,
very business-like. Mr. Schulenburg U a
Hebrew, and Mrs. Schulenburg is not.
Shot by His Father-in Law.
Osoooo, Ind., Nov. 29. J. P. Dodson was
killed by his father in-law, A. Bishop, on
Wednesday night. Owing to Dodson's ill
treat meat of his wife, her father bad induc
ed her to return home. This enraged Dod
son, who armed bi mself with a revolver and
fired Ave shots through a window ot Bish
op's bouse without result. He then sec fire
to the house and barn, but the flames were
extinguished before any serious damage was
done. Dodson then tried to get away, ,but
was intercepted by Bishop, who beat bis son-in-law's
brains out with an ax. Tbe general
feeling is one of sympathy with Bishop,
who, as yet, bas not been arrested. .
Hi Life Crushed Out.
JonitsTnw. Nov. 30 Lloyd Miller was
instantly killed and Thomas Davis had bis
leg broken this afternoon uttbe Gaulier steel
works by tbe fall of a new boiler they were

A Cruel Incendiary Foiled. s
Eaia. Nor. 30 A cruel attempt was made
last night to cremate tbe family, of Lewis
Kerner, who lives just outside the city limits.
The Kerner family have bad a Nemesis for
some lime. Lwt night the family of father
and mother and three children awoke to find
themselves surrounded by fire. They nar
rowly escaped. The incendiary had killed
the watch dog and then cut shavings with a
drawing'knife for the intended funeral pyre.
