New Haves, Coxx., Nov. 12—At 2 o’clock this morning George Cooper, @ Portland, murdered his wife by cutting her, head open with an axe, Jealousy was the cause. On Sat- urday night Mrs. Cooper went to the post-office and showed an opened letter, claiming that the letter had Lge coger the Loops The postmaster said the letter was in perfec order when he passed it out to her little boy a few minutes before. She was greatly excited and made some insulting remarks, drawinj uite a crowd. The murderer was arrested iddletown this forencon snd has just given this letter to the chief of police. He ac- knowledged that he committed the murder, and says this letter was*from a Pipminent business man in East Hampton and fuily justi- fied the killing of his wife. Cooper is in jail. He claims that his wife had been unfaithful for some time past, and that the murder was no more than any man would do under the cir- cumstances. The coroner has charge of the case. The couple were married a year ago and came to this e from Hartford last April. Cooper says ts was sober when he committed the deed. He went to bed with the axe handy and waited until his wife was asleep. He then got up, struck her a blow that stunned her and then finished the work with the edge of the ax. When he was satisfied she was dead he fled and was arrested as before stated. —— MORE RIOTING AT BEVIOR, MO. One Man Killed Saturday Night and Three Others Wounded. Kaysas Crry, Mo., Nov. 12.—A Journal special from Bevior, Mo., reports a riot at the coal mines at that place Saturday. A strike has been prevailing there for some months, and there have been frequent rows between the strikers andthe new men. A short time ago a number of Swedes were engaged to take the places of the strikers, and Saturday night the bad feeling resulted in a pitched battle. A. J. Anderson, a Swede, was shot through the breast and killed, and three other Swedes were slightly wounded. It is rumored that one striker was killed, but this is not confirmed. Over one hundred shots were fired during the riot, and a number of houses were pierced by stray bullets. The situation is critical and the militia will probably be called, Thos. Wardell, owner of the mine, was shot and killed by a b of strikers about six months ago. THE KNMGHTS’ CONVENTION. Delegates Already Gathering at Indian- apolis. Ispraxaroris, Ixp., Nov. 12.—Already dele- gates to the eleventh annual convention of the Knights of Labor are arriving in this city, al- though the evening session will not be held until to-morrow. In many respects this is one of the most important conventions that this organization ever held. Internal dissensions have ong a within the past two years, beginning with the Richmond convention, and’ being caused in’ part at least by the _ fail- ure of the great southwestern railroad strike and further ——— by the later failure of the Stock Y: strike at Chicago. It hasbeen asserted by some, who claimed to know whereof they speak, ‘that from 800,000 members two years ago, the order has dwindled to 200,000 at the present time. The basis of representation is one delegate for every 3,000 members, which means a big assembly. The income is now said to be low tor the expenses, Various propositions look- ing toward a reduction of the expenses will be @ made at ‘this _ meeting, and the ‘action on these and on other matters will have a bearing on the future success or failure of the order. Of the work to be done at this time District Master Work- man Hugh Cavanaugh, of Cincinnati, says that the constitution and by-laws will undergo some ‘revision, and the successors to the present general officers will be elected. Powderly, he thinks, will be re-elected to resent position if he can be prevailed upon presume Richard Griffith, of Chicago, whose ition is next to that of Mr. Powderly’s, said = Mr. Coy “will be re-elected for the fourth time if he is a candidate. J. W. Hayes, acting secretary in place of Charlies H. Litchman, probably wants 4 pall eg the position, which we rt per year. The other officers to be chosen are treasurer and the general executive board. Fred Turner will no doubt be elected treasurer, It is also quite likely that McGuire, Ainsworth, and Bailey will be elected as mem- bers of the executive board, but there is no in- timation as to who will be chosen for the other positions on the board.” Mr. Cavanaugh himself, who is aclose friend of General Master Workman Powderly, is also yken of for secretary. '. H. Bailey comes from Pittsbi hegre - pet games of — organization he chief, and among whom there has been talk of leaving the order to join the federation. Two sets of delegates are nt from D. A. 49, in New York, and trouble is feared from this. General Master Workman T. V. Powderly is expected to-night, and the sessions will begin to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock at Mansem Hall. aa GOV.

New Yorg, Nov. 12.—The big Cunard steamer Umbria, which was injured by colliding with the steamer Iberia, on Saturday last, again left port this morning fully recovered from the shock of the collision. The big hole in the bow was covered by a big iron plate, and to one not versed in marine architecture it would be difficult to discover where the steamer had been injured. Only two of its passengers were absent, an old lady and her son, they deciding to wait until spring for their voyage across. THE WRECK OF .THE IBERIA DISAPPEARS. Faoutaxps, N.

A TALK WITH MR, BRITTON A Sraz reporter found Mr. Britton at his office, in the Pacific building, this afternoon. returned from a visit to the Pen- in company with Mr. Geo. E. Lemon. Britton said that he was looking the hall of the Pension office as one of the possible places where the inau- gural ball could be held. He wanted to see if any changes had been made prepara- tory to the removal there of the city post-office. He found that nothing had been done as yet. From what Mr. Britton said it is probable that the Postmaster-General, who has authority to remove the post-office to the Pension building, will be asked to consider whether some other arrangement cannot be made, so as to leave the great ball free for the inaugural ball. IN REGARD TO HIS NEW DUTIES, Mr. Britton said that he had just been noti- fied of his appointment, and he had, of course, not considered fully what was to be done. He had to appoint the members of the executive committee, but he would take no steps in the matter until he had an opportunity to consult with others, “We want representative citizens as “mem- bers of the committee,” he added. “The laces are no sinecures. Men are needed who ave the ability and willingness to work. Then the subcommittees must be appointed. These preliminary steps will be taken slowly, because it is best to be sure you are right bere you goahead. When everything is ready we will go to work, and no effort will be spared to make our share of the inaugural ceremonies a success.” Mr. Britton said that no place for headquar- ters had been fixed upon as yet, but the owners of the Atlantic building, on F street, between 9th and 10th streets, had offered rooms free of cost, and it was probable that. this offer would be accepted, There were on the top floor of this building two large halls and a number of small rooms, and the accommodations offered were considered to be excellent. WHAT IS SAID OF MR. BRITTON 8 APPOINTMENT. Col. W. W. Dudley, treasurer of the national committee, said: “The committee carefully considered the selection of a chairman for the inaugural ceremonies, and in my opinion have mae a wise choice. “It isa splendid selection,” said Mr. J. W. Thompson, who filled a similar position eight years ago, “and I don’t see how a better one could have been made. Mr. Britton has ca- pacity, will, energy, and in fact all the require- ments necessary to fill the position to the satis- faction of everybody.” “I know of no one whostands higher in the communitg or who is better fitted for the posi- tion,” said Mr. C. C. Glover. “He isa worker and an intelligent one.” Mr. Wm. Dickson said: “The appointment is an excellent one. Mr. Britton is a well-known business man of marked ability and is thor- oughly competent to fill any position of trust and honor.” Wm. M. Galt, who was chairman of the inauguration ceremonies of President Cleve- land, says: “The appointment of Mr. Britton is an excellent one. No better man for the place could have been selected,” = Commissioner Wheatley said: ‘The republi- cans of this city couldn’t have chosen a better man. Mr. Britton is a well-known and reput- able citizen and will fill the position as chair- man of the inauguration committee in a fitting manner.” Commissioner Webb thought the S Leper ment a good one, and one likely to make the affair a success, e Mr, James E. Norris said: “I consider the appointment of Mr. Britton an excellent one. le is @ first rate man and well qualified for the position.” B. H. Warner said: “The appointment is first-class, Col. Britton is the right man in the right place. He will make a success of any enterprise.” Mr. M. M. Parker said: ‘‘With Col. Britton as chairman the inauguration must be a success, He is a No, 1 man in every way.” - Capt. Geo, E. Lemon says: “Mr. Britton’s appointment is an excellent one. He was a large contributor to the success of the elec- tion, has an extensive acquaintance among leading republicans throughout the country, and isa brainy, successful business man who would creditably fill any office. He will make a - success of the inauguration.” Kurtz Johnson, vice-president Citizens’ Bank, is of the opinion that no better selection could be made. “He is in every way a repre- sentative American,” he said, “and will - monize all interest Louis D. Wine said: “Mr. Britton has always been my candidate, The national committee has acted wisely.” Mr. Hallet Kilbourn says: “The appointment is first-class. Mr, Britton is a man of force and brains. He is a thorough American, a good republican, and has peen a large contributor to the success of President Harrison's cam- paign.” Mr. Simon Wolf, who is a member of the committee appointed by the national republi- can league to confer with other clubs respect- ing the inauguration ceremonies, said to a STAR reporter that Mr. Britton’s sppointment was an excellent one, He had no doubt that there would be harmony. ‘The league,” he said, “has been misrepresented. It appointed a committee to confer with other clubs, and ex- ressed its preference for Gen. Beale, its fonored preedtent, for chairman of the ineugu- ration committee when appointed.” | Mr. Wolf said he thought the members of the league Would be perfectly eatisiied. They did not, however, like to sce any insult offered to its president.” Col. Cook, when told this afternoon that a selection ot’ Mr. Britton had been made, said “I think I know that it is 9 mistake. ‘It is simply a recommendation made by the execu- tive committee of the national committee, I know it from the dispatch and also from the lips of one of the committee that it is not final, Tam satisfied that the matter is not closed a “Tt is a splendid appointment,” said Mr. J. K. MeCammon, ‘Mr. Britton is just the man for the place, and will fill it to the satisfaction of everybody.” Mr. W. 8. Roose, who was a member of the Garfield inauguration committee, said to a Stan tag wire that he believed the appointment of Mr. Britton would be universally approved. Mr, Seymour Tullock said that it was a good appointment, He was a live man, he said. THE ACTION OF THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. ‘The action of the national republican league last week in appointing a committee has been pretty thoroughly discussed. As stated in Tae TAR on Saturday, it was thought by some that the ia oe on the panes Seabees. men\ © inaugural grrangement e were criticised as acting too hastily and withont consulting others, The members of the league, however, disclaim any intention to usurp au- thority. Dr. A. P, F the member of the league who introduced resolution to ap- point a committee, sai to a Sra re- ir: .. “There has been a misapprehension in to this committee, It was a] ited ent for the purpose of consulting with the members of other republican organizations and the citi- ns generally as to the best way to proceed in nizing for the work of the = ittee composed members of one party.” +o “You may be sure of one »” he added. ‘ie natguaton of Harrie il be « grand coutribute to such a result.” HOW THE CEREMONIES ARE MANAGED, It isnot generally known that the inauguration ceremonies, with the exception of those con- ducted at the Capitol, are managed entirely by ® committee af the citizens of the District, and that all the expenses are met by contributions from the citizens. The total amount raised on these occasions has varied, but on the last two inaugurations the citizens raised a age twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars, amount does does not represent the entire ex- pense incurred by the committee, but it was merely a guaran- tee fund to provide the ready money, and to make up any deficiency in the sale of ball tickers. The ball is the only source of revenue, end if that is a success the citizens are not out of pocket. If it is a failure then the guaran! fand is not replace iss —— THE BELL TELEPHONE. The Government’s Right to Bring Suit, DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT ADVERSE TO THE COMPANY ON THE MASSACHU- BETT’S APPEAL, Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court, to-day rendered a decision in the suit of the United States against the Bell Telephone company, brought here on appeal from the de- cision of the circuit court of Massachusetts, sustaining the demurrer entered by the Bell company to the government's suit. Justice Miller decided that the plea of multi- farious ness set up by the Bell company does not hold good, and also that the Bell company’s contention that the United States has no right to bring a suit to set aside a patent is not The decision is thus in favor of the United States. Justice Miller overrules the decision of the eircuit court of Massachusetts and the court remands the case with instructions to en- tertain the government's bill. CONSULTING ABOUT VIRGINIA. Messrs. Quay and Dudley in Conference sts Senator Mahone. Senator Quay and Col. Dudley avoided the republican league headquarters this morning, though they are expected there later this after- noon. They were both elsewhere, but not neg- lecting their business, Senator Mahone is at Chamberlin’s, and they were with him talking about the state of affairs in Virginia. They have established permanent headquarters for the ublican national committee at the re- publican league rooms, which they will main- tain during Mr. Harrison's administration. CLAIMING TO HAVE CARRIED VIRGINIA, They are occupied just at present in looking after Virginia and West Virginia. It is under- stood that Mr. Mahone believes that it-can be shown that the republicans have actually car- ried Virginia as well as West Virginia, and that they have elected more congressmen from the this subject that he is in conference with | Mr. Quay. Mr. Quay and Mr. Dudley called on him at Chamberlin’s this morming as stated, and they got off to themselves away danger and interruption. They want to agree upon a plan for the proteceion of their interests in Virginia. and to show that the state is not in the ranks of the solid south. CLAIMING A MAJORITY IN WEST VIRGINIA as indicated by the returns, they are going to keep on guard, “to see that the state is not stolen from them,” as they phrase it. It is Mr. Quay’s determination that the victory shall be as complete as possible, and that no party in- terest shall be neglected. CLOSE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS as well as the national ticket are to be looked after. The republican majority upon.the cer- tification to the clerk of the House may be be sure to hold a majority and a number of contests will be settled in their favor. A majority of votes is claimed by the demo- crate for Compton, of Maryland, and he will, doubtless, receive the certificate of election. But rns the republican committee is in- formed of thirteen votes that should, it is said, be thrown out, and this alone would give Mudd the seat ina contest before the House. The republicans are also very confident of being able to show the defeat of Wise in Virginia, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

SMITE—TER LATTER, HOWEVER, DECLARES THAT SEE MEANS TO PROSECUTE, Marion D, Newman, the ‘California lawyer” who was arrested Friday night for trifling with ‘the affections and finances of Mrs, Kate Smith, of the government printing office, as published in Saturday's Stan, was held in the first precinct , when he was driven to police headquarters where his description was taken. Later he was escorted to a photo- graph gallery, where a good picture of him was obtained. Then he was taken to the police court and ith obtaining money, $49, from Mrs. Smith under false protenses,’ The warrant, which was sworn out by Detective Raff, charged that the defendant, on the 4th day of November obtained the money from Mrs, Smith by pretending that he was a single man and wanted $49 to purchase o suit of clothes so that he could marry her, whereas in fact he was a married man. MR, CARRINGTON ASKS AN IMMEDIATE TRIAL The prisoner, who was sitting in the court- room, was called “doctor” by Mr. Carrington, his counsel, who wanted him at the counsel table. Mr. called the case to the attention of Ju Mills and stated that he had been ii d that Mr. illing- ton wanted a continuance, on which su ject he had something to say. He called the court's attention to the fact that the war- rant was sworn out by Detective Raff and not by the woman. The latter he knew did not desire to prosecute, as she so stated, and em- ployed him to defend the prisoner. He under- ‘stood that the continuance would be more for the p of investigating the prisoner on other charges, He certainly objected to a continuance, and would ask that the caae be heard to-day, MR.

Mr. Shillington said that there was some- thing comical about this case and he could hardly speak of it inaserious mood, “Iam informed that this charge is the outcome of an unfortunate and ill-timed ripple which dis- tarbed the stream of pure love that, tradition says, never runs smooth.

Mr. Shillington, however, was not ready, and | One of the letters addressed to the prisoner by acitizen of Washington gave the infor- mation that his deughter was handsome and has some musical talent, and he had no doubt but that a match could be between sidered fine looking.

The Commission Appointed by the Con- ‘gressional Committee Begin Work. 4 The commission of experts appointed by the Joint congressional committce to investigate | the aqueducttunnel have begun work. They spent several hours in the tunnel Friday, and went down again to-day. The commission is | composed of J. M. Wilson and Col. Frederick | Groff, of Mhiladelphia, and Henry Flad, of St. Louis. They came out of the tunnel | to-day about 2 o'clock at the Champlain avenue | shaft and were met there bya Stan reporter. | The commission smiled in a body when the re- | porter asked them what they were doing. “We cannot tell yon anything,” said Mr. Flad, “antil we complete our work and are ready to | report. Then we will be very glad to give you | any information you want.” | “Do you know how long it will take you?” | asked the reporter. . “No, we may be at it several days.” “It will be some time,” said Col. Groff, “ be- fore we know just where we are there.” DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

One of h im. Among the batch of letters was one signed, “Your loving daughter, Pearl,” A small ‘bunch of pressed flowers was enclosed, and the letter was written in a child's hand. ‘Your loving Alice” is signed to another letter which was evidently written by | a widow in reply to a letter from him charging her with coldness, In the letter she says that her orphaned childhood, her uncongenial mar- riage, and her present dependence upon rela- | tions, may make her seem indifferent, but as- | sures him that when he knows her better he will find her anything but cold. She concludes her letter by asking him if he desires her to come to him, dressed ‘dear Marion” or *‘dear friend.” CLERICAL EXPERIENCES, If the letters found in Newman’s room belong to him, he has not only figured as a matrimo- nial adventurer and a much married man. but has also played the role of a Methodist preach- er. From the letters it appears that he was ordained a deacon in that church by Bishop Haven, in Lewistown, Me., under the name of Dallas M. DeHughes, in 1876. Another certi-. ficate shows that two years later DeHugh had been transferred to the conference of New Jersey, and in 1878 he was ordained an elder by Bishop Simpson at Burlington, N. J. With the ordination papers the officers found number of well-written sermons, One of the letters received by the ner from a young lady, who has corresponded with him, posts him as to what he is to say when he calls at the house. From the tone of the letter she had told her parents that she met him at the springs, and she tells him ‘in the letter to tell her parents of the pleasant time enjoyed last summer, She mentions a rough mountain ride in astage, the nice fresh mutton and the mis- erable beef they had for dinner. She also refreshes his recollections about the tastcless water and the fresh mountain air. VICTIMS IN OTHER CITIES, There are also letters from females in Phila- delphia, Iidianapolis and Nashville, Tenn., who write to him as their husband. The alleged Philadelphia woman, in her letter, complains of poverty and asks for assistance. ‘The officers believe that she is his first wife. Aletter from the Indianapolis female is filled with suspicion. She also makes complaints and expresses doubts as to the validity of their marriage. The Nashville wife writes the most affectionate letter, and the officers think that she is the last victim, She refers to money he has already sent her, but she warns him not to return to Nashville, The letters from his alleged wives show that he traveled under the names of Mar- ion —— H. D. Noble and Marion G. A VOLUMINOUS CORRESPONDENT. The prisoner is quite an extensive letter- writer. He does not believe in writing short letters. During the short time he was ac- quainted with Miss Smith he sent her a num- ber of letters, addressing her as “Dear Kate.” These letters the officers have in their posses- sion, but will not make them public until the trial next week. The detectives state that in addition to his escapades with women he has swindled the Mutual Life Insurance company, of New York, out of nearly $400. He obtained an agency for this city from O. F. Bresee & Sons, the general that he had to bury ® dead child in this city, and persuaded them to lend him $150 on account of his application, MRS.

Cahill and A. W. Ferguson to- day filed a motion in arrest of judgment and for a new trial in the case of Frederick Barber, | convicted on Tuesday evening of the murder | of Agnes Watson. The reasons for the motion | for the new trial are the usual ones, and be- | | cause of the refusal of the court to respite the | jury on the 7th and insisting on the trial being closed that night, and because of the absence | of the witness Hillery T. Burrows. ‘The motion | | in arrest sets out that the death of Agnes Wat- | son is not legally charged, and it docs not ap- pear that the death occurred within a year aud a day of the alleged choking, dc.

Commissioner Haut axp Tue Bart Teue- PuONE Cases.—A special from this city, pub- lished in the New York World to-day, calls at- tention to the delay in a decision in the tele- phowe cases argued before Commissioner of atents Hall the latter part of 1887. It is charged that this delay was made on account of political reasons, it not being considered wise to make a decision in favor of the Bell Jele- phone company prior to the election. Commis- sioner Hall is absent from the city, butit isstated at the patent office that Mr. Haig did not take up the telephone cases because of the pending cases before the U.S. Supreme Court involving substantially the same principles. One of these cases was decided about a month ago, but there are still other decisions to be made. ' Mr. Hall, however, ‘proposes, it is said, to decide the cases pending in his office as soon as he can reach them after disposing of other accumula- ted business, It is also said that there has been Bo unusual delay in this matter.
