CALM AFTER STORM. AML Was Serene in Banking Circles of St. Paul. St. Paul, Jan. 7—The excitement in- cident to the bank failures had con- siderably quieted to-day, and a much better feeling prevailed. There was a slight riffle at some of the savings banks, but the sixty-day notice taken advantage of by the officers had the effect of restoring quiet again. At the First and Second National banks a crowd of people lined up with deposits in hand, and it took three clerks to wait on the customers who wanted to open up new accounts at these banks. Murder. Mich., Jan. 7. — James Anderson, ex-under sheriff of Alcona county and a prominent farmer, was shot and instantly killed to-day by Mrs. Robert Dobson of Haynes town- ship.

It is said this arrangement was accom- plished on Mond: Three Children Perish. Babcock, Wis., Jan. 7.—Ole Delia, a farmer living six miles south of this place, lost his house by fire to-day. Three children, the oldest five years, perished in the flames. BIG CHURCH FIGHT. More Trouble Among Catholic Poles at Bay City, Mich. Bay City, Mich., Jan. 7.—A thousand of the warrizg faction of Poles who are determined that Father Bogecki shall not officiate as their priest, at- tacked the parsonage at St. Stanislaus church to-day and stormed it for over an hour. All the windows were broken and doors battered down. The entire police force was unable to quiet the mob. The priest surrerdered and was driven out of the house. The police took possession of the parsonage. Ja- cob Yocomovich was shot in the body and fatally injured. Detective Fitz gerald, who was guarding the be- leaguered pastor, was arrested, charged with firing the shot. Mrs. Jo- seph Torskowski was shot in the leg. When the riot began Father Bokacki and a dozen guards who were with him retreated to the second story and fired on the most obstreperous leaders of the mob. Stones, clubs and other missiles were used as weapons by the attacking crowd and by those who undertook to defend the house. Two of the priest’s body guard jumped from windows and tried to escape, but the mob pounded them. into insensi- bility in sight of a squad of police- men. The interior of the parsonage is a mass of ruins. Over 100 bottles of wine from the cellar were distributed among the crowd. Several arrests have been made. ‘The row has been on for nine months and began with demonstrations against Father Matkowsky, Fa Bogacki’s predecessor. Hostili ceased a few weeks ago after a Sun- day riot by both sides submitting the case to Martinelli. It broke out yes- terday through the priest’s refusal yes- terday to bury a deceased member of the warring faction from the church. The original dispute is over the church books, which one faction wants to see and which request Bishop Richter has denied. UNCLE SAM “WORKED.” He Is Charged Entirely Too Much for Armor Plate. Washington, Jan. 7.—Secretary Her- bert to-day transmitted to congress his reply to a provision in the last naval appropriation bill directing him to ex- amine into the actual cost of armor plate and report to congress before Jan, 1, 1897, and to make no contract for armor plate for the vesse]s author- ized by that act until after the report was made to congress. This proy of the bill grew out of a heated de- bate in the house and senate in which the main contention was that the gov- ernment was paying too much for armor plates. The report is a very im- portant and, in many respects, a sen- sational document. The present cost of armor is $583 per ton. Mr. Her- bert’s conclusion is that the cost of material and labor is $198.7( id, al- lowing for the cost of maintaining the plant and the nickel now furnished by the governn ent and 50 per cent profit te the companies, the net cost to the government would be in round num- bers $400 per ton. Secretary Herbert declares that the armor plate mauu- facturers have evidently combined to fix prices and divide the contracts. MURDER WAS DON But Nobody Seems to Care Particu- larly About It, Anyway. Grantsburg, Wis., Jan. 7.—There are strong suspicions that murder has been committed in a lumber camp north of here. Conflicting stories place the lo- cation in doubt, so that neither Wis- corsin yor Minnesota officials are in- vestigating. Lumbermen coming down from the camps are very reticent and say “Billy Taylor is dead and that’s all they know.” It is known positively that there was a quarrel. Taylor, Who is a breed, when found had his head smashed as though with a heavy club, and that his Indian relatives took his body to near the center of Burnett county and buried it without an in- quest. The report was circulated that he died after being sick several days, but this is known to be false, as he was seen at work a short time before the burial. The probability is that some one furnished a mixed crowd of Indians and whites with liquor and a general fight followed. Naturally there is an effort to hush the matter up as too many are involved. Most of the camps are on the Minnesota side of the St. Croix and the murder no doubt was committed in that state. POINTERS ON CUBA. President-elect McKinley Confers With a Member of the Jurta. Cleveland, Jan. 7.—It developed to- day that Senor F. G. Pierra, of the Cuban junta, had a conference with President-elect McKinley at the home of M. A. Hanna, Sunday, at which the entire Cuban situation was thoroughly canvassed. Maj. McKinley did not in- dicate what use he would make of his information, nor what stard he pro- posed to take when his time shall come. It is understood, however, that he will treat the Cuban difficulties at some length in his message to the ex- tra session of congress. Maj. McKin- ley, when seen to-dsy concerning the | matter, said: ‘Yes, Senor Pierra called upon me here and we had a very pleasant chat. He explained at some length the claims of the friends ! of the insurgents with regard to the war there. There is nothing further L can say regarding the call.” Francis A. Walker Dead. Boston, Jan. 7. — Gen. Francis A.
