Thav was all, but it created intenso excito- ment.

The spark of life had fled The inanimate form was inside the building. shot through the b had of and rear raised and borne The vietim nad been st. The undertaker took possession of Lho redaiug and they were removed to the morgue. 1Pew seemed to know just how the tragedy occurred, but the victim's name and that of the murderer were op every tongue, The deceascd was James Donohue, the ecighteen ir old son of & dirt hauler living at N ) Kifth avenue, and TIE ASSASSIN Boartz, a Gernan laborer, fifty-two years of age, living at the corner of Fourth avenue and Seventeenth. He had disappeared immnediately after the shooting and was found at his home by the police and placed under arrest. On his person was the apot: with which thio murder wus com- d—a 3S-calibre six shooter, with: an empty shell in the chamber under the ham- mer. He was taken to the police station, and later removed to the county jail, The 'mur- derer was somewhat under the influence of liquor when arrested, but sobered up rapidly. Attho county jail hie talked quite freely bout the snooting. He vigorously denied that it was aceidental, but insisted” that he eant to shoot Donohue and firmly mtended to kill him. He was cousidorably excited. and these statements will undoubtedly be denied by him in cooler moments. He said that Donohue was laying for him and” he haul to do him up or be done up himself. A HARD CHARACTER. An imvestigation of the facts which culmi- nated iu the death of Donohue places the de- sensed in u very bad light, It is generally stated that he was a y tough, worthless character, who refused to work and spent his time hanging around saloons, gambling hells and houses of prostitution. He had a bard name with the police and was wdentified with the “‘pork house gang,” one of the most disreputable and lawless bands of toughs in the city, which frequents the vicinity of Stowart's packing house. Boartz told a friend yosterday that Dono- hucand a companion *held him up” the pro- ceding evening, supposing that ne nad just been paid off as it was Saturday. The high- waymen knocked him down and otherwise abused him. his 1s generally admitted to be the case and 1s supposed to furnish the motive for the murder, It is stated that Boartz threatened yesterday to kill Donohue if he ever saw him again, but the report is not corroborated. The story of the shooting is thay Donohue was 1n the room ia the rear of the number above statea, which is used as a_ curd room in connection with an adjoining saloon, when Boart: tered. Donohue got up and advanced toward him, veginning to pull off his cout at tho same time. 1Boartz ordered him to kecp his coat on, and almost instantly pulled bis gun and shot him. Donokue turned and ranout of the room and feli just outside the door, He did _not speak after he was shot, and was dead before anyone reached him, When the body was cxamined at the un- dertaking rooms of Iield & Estep it was found that the bullet entered two and a nhalf inches to the right aud half an inch abave the left nipple, and passed through the heart, going betwecn the auricle and the ventricle, The ball passed entirely striking and shattering the spine,andodging just underneuth the skin, Coroner Water- man_will held an inquest this morning and the bullet will then be extracted, The father of the deceased viewed tho remains and made arrangements for the uaisposition of them, 'They will remain at the under- taker's until after the nquest, after which they will be removed to the family resi- dence, ‘The funeral will take placa tomor- row morning at 9 o'clock from St. Francis Xavier’s church. The murderer, Boartz, has resided in this city o number of years, and is a bricklayer by trade. He has been in the employ of Chris Straub and J. P. Woaver. He Las al- wiays been a peaceable, inoffensive man, but is addicted to drink and has several times been arrested for intoxication. Toe general feoling seoms to be thal Donohue got no more than he was looking for, but that tha shooting was far from being justifiable, Donohue was a slender youth, and the pris- oner a heavy-set, strong man. 1t 18 thought that he could have disposed of his victim by physical strength, and that the shooting was little else thau cold-blooded, premeditated wmurder, was William hrough the body, A i Drs.

The marvelous Deeemver weather that still continues to be as pleasant as May left no excuse for the church-goers to remain at home yesterday, aud as a consequence all the places of divine worship were well at- tended, At the First Baptist church the pastor, the Rey. Dr. Cooley, devoted the morning hour 19 the consideration of fear as an element in religion, ably defending the orthodox creed that holds up the fear of punishment as a deterent to sin. He chose for the found- ation of his argument the I1Ith Psalm, 10th “WPho Fear of the Lord 15 the Begiu- ning of Wisdom.” In this passage of the seripture wisdowm is generally taken to mean rellgion. Mauy clam that tear ought not to be made use of in religious matters. The extreme liberal churches and the chrisuans who base their religious convictions upon their own scieutifio deductions rather than upou facts of re- vealed religion, found their strongest objec- tions to the orthodox churches upon this point, But that fear is a legitimate element in religion is seen from the fact that it is im- }nhuuml in our own natures 50 that it mani- ests itself in our earliest life. It is a self- proving impulse. We appeal to it without hesitatlon in &l the affaws of life. We use boits, locks, Laws and ofiicers of justice, We impel the evil doer to reform by exciting his fears of punishment certain to cowe if he coutinues 1o do wrong. \We warn the drunk- ard of the future before biw if be continues in his course. Fear is felt in all the religions of earth, It has wonderful power over mab, und oiten the ouly one he will feel. By the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil. God makes use of fear in his goverument, It is @ prowinent element in all the threatenings of his word, “It s & foarful thing to fall into the hands of the liviog God. In his intor- viows with individuals He calls forth their fear. To Adam and Cain. the antediluviaus, Abraham, Lot, Jacob, Moses, the Israelite Daniel, John and Peter, the tear of the Lor wis prominent always. Wlien men have cast away all fear ‘of tho TLord they are on the highway to destruc- tinn, for there is no fear of God befors their eyes. Foar has beon the beginning of re- ligious Iife to most Christians. 1t 18 the fear of Jehovah that is beneficial. This is not an abject fear of a blind impersonal foy Tt is not of one who hates or cares not for us, but of one who loves us and _inyites our confi- dence and love. Religious fear is the awe, the sense of condemning majesty to a soul conscious of sin, It is tho fear of the holy one who hates sin and will punish it, but would save us from it. ach a fear 18 ele- vating to the character, This fear should not bo excessive lest it drive us to despair, It should be fear founded on truth, rot caused by the imagination. Tear is only the beginning of religion. Tts provinco s to arouse men and awaken them from indifference, It is doubtful if any sinner would ever turn from his sins with- out more or less of fear. It is also designed for the newer stagos of tho Christian’s life, Perfect love casteth out fear. il J. G. Tipton, real estate, e Broadway.

Dr. Cooley performed the ceremony and the bride took the marital vows while sitting on tho side of what proved to be ber death bed.

T'he cottage, where the cheerful Lome fire had been lighted two days before, she never saw again, The littlosurprises that love had brought ste never enjoyed, but she radually grew worse dispite all that could e done, ana the distracted bridegroom saw isdovely bride sik iuto the great gult of death, powerless to save her. She died at 5 o'clack yesterday after- noon at the fawily home, No, 911 Avenue C. She was one of the handsomest, most lovie ble and popular young ladies 1 the city. She was eighteen years of age, a graduate of the high sehool, and highly accomplished 1n all the lady-like graces that constitute the crowning glory of budaing womanhood.

As child of this common Father all men should strive for each other’s good. _— Widows and Orphans of Johnstown. One of the interesting features of what may be called the flood census is the list of widows, writes a correspond- ent from Johnstown to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It contains 128 names, Widows were placed in the first class of sufferers. They were provided for be- fore any payments were made in property losses. The commission was in doubt how to deal with the widows. Various propositions were made and dis- cussed. The conclusion was that the amount to be aliowed to the widows should be paid in cash rather than in installments or in homes. The Johns town widows have received from $80 to $1,250 apicce. The claims of widowhood are now considered fully discharged. One of these widows spent the first night after she was paid in the lockup. Several have already parted with their money. But the cases where the charity has seemed misapplied have been ex- ceptional, the secretury says. Nearly all the widows have expressed gratitude and have put the money to good uses. Next to the problem of dealing with widows comes the question of providing for the orphans. It was decided best to set apart a fund feom which an annuity might be d for, maintenance. The sum of 27 a year was agreed upon. The Dirth made the dute of payment, The annuity will stop when the age of sixteen is reached, for then the orphan, it is supposed, will be self-supporting. A sum amounting to about $250,000 was reserved for the orphans., It should he plained that the Johnstown orphans de all below sixteen who have lost athers. No distinction is made between those who have lost both parents and those whose mothers are living. It mustalso be explained that the anuuity is estimated for the whole life of the child. The first payment,which has already been made, wa: y $2 for the current year, but $25 additional for each year the child has lived. One widow with a large family has received $1,500 for herself and her childven. Others have received sums ranging from $2,000 to £3,500. The orphans com- prise the greater portion of the second class of sufferers. The third: cluss embraces persons other than widows and orphans, left without means and helpless by the flood. This was a small class, and was soon dis- posed of. The members of the fivst three classes have received all that the commission feels justified in paying. They have been allowed $49,000. This is tho moncy disbursement, and 15 in addition to previous provision in the way of clothing food and other supplies. —— Montenegro's Capital. Saturday Review: Cettinjo is the most extraordinary capital in Buroye. Tt consists of one long street with four smaller ones crossing it, and ending vaguely in the fields. The whole town covers perhaps thirty or forty acres. The principal building is the hotel, which worthily block s the end of the main street. It isa bare and rickety- looking structure, but represents the acme of luxury at Cettinje. The other public places ave the prison, the church and tho school, The first of these lies on the right-hand side, and, in front of the gates on the lawn, the prisoners amuse themselves by plaving various rude games—bowls, with pieces of rock for balls, leapfrog and so on. A few of them were engaged in odd building jobs about Cettinje, and others hew wood in the mountuins, ~They are not chained, Dbut appear seldom to run away. When a case of evasion happens, one or two fellow convicts are dispatched to catch the runaway and bring him back. The theory of setting' a thief to catch a thief is here practiced most literally and methodically. The only distinction between a condemned con- vict and a free citizen isthat the former is deprived of his acms. This is an equal degradation to the usual dress or brand elsewhere. Closo to the hotel is the royal palace, o whitewashed house with green Venetian blinds, which is lmpulurly supposed to have cost a mil- ion of francs, owing to the expense of transporting tlie materials, Over against it is a lul\f, low red building kinown as the *Bigliardo.” It reccived this nickname from an English billiard table having been set up there. The carrying of this piece of furniture by fifty men over the mountains was con- sidored—and undoubtedly was—a great feat. While the porters struggled man- fully under the slate a pilot stood astride on high, and shouted his directions as 1o how to get around awkward corners, The **Bigliardo” 1s now used us oflices for the different ministers and a parlia- ment house. The church is very small, capable of holding, per- haps, 150 people.

The account is more or less confirmed by indepon- dent witnesses, one of whom, an Aus- trian otlicer, counted 2,300 skeletons on the field several weeks after the famous fight. The custom has, however, now died out, having been abolished, to- gether with most practices of a similae nature, by the Draconian code and in- ible rule of Danilo I. ety S An Absoiute Care, The ORIGINALABIETINK OIN TMENT is only put up in large two ounce tin boxes, and is an absolute cure for old sores, burns, wounds, chapped hands, and all skin erup. tions, Will positively care all kinds of piles- Ask forthe ORIGINAL ABIETINE OINT- MENT.

A young civil engineer who came month’s expedition through the Black Hills with a gove party, told the following story, says toe BufTalo Courier: “Ono evening last summer we pitehed camp, and after supper tho commanding officerin the party ordered me to make a detour to a certain point further north. The distance by the road I was told to take was believed to be about four miles, but to get it ox- actly, I was given a pedometer to carry in my pocket. On the way I came to a small mining sottlement, and a dance was going on in the biggest saloon. As I had plonty of time on my hands, [ went in and joined in the dance, and nover rested o leg until midnight. I then proceeded to finish my detour, got back to camp und turned in. In the morning T ] ed to report, and without a thought I handed over the pedometer. The officer looked at it in wnazement. and then exclnimed, ‘Forty miles! Where on earth did you 2o last night?’ I was perplexed at tirst myself, and could not exploin my won- derful record, and it not until later that I recalled the dance, but I 't believe that I danced forty miles in a gingle evening.” Headache, neuralgia, nes, spasaus, sloeplessncss, cured by Dr. Miles’ Nervie, Samples freo at Kubn & Co’s 15th and Douglas.

L An Energetic Detroit Girl, A young Detroit girl, who recently graduated in her studies, began to look about her for some employment that would occupy her time and give her the independence which she desired, says the Detroit kr Her father is in business and she has a good home, but she did not wish to sit down and fold her hands or give all her time to the fetich of society. But nothing that she could do pre- sented itself, and as she was not work- ing for bread she did not apply for sit- aations that were more nccessary to others. .One day the young lady was upin the attic of her father’s home, when a clever and original lhuugln.| dizziness, nervous- struck her.

There was no sign of blood on the snow, and nothing to make me believe the deer had been wounded. The cause of its fall was apparent, At its first jump and at the moment I shot it had struck a piece of ice covered lightly by the snow, slipped on it, and went down in a heap. I never saw the deer again. I then looked for'the buck at which I had first fired. e was no- ! where to be found. Isaw where he had and floundered in the snow and then where he had made off. Two days later I saw a party of a dozen Blackfeet or Piegan Indians cir- cling a deer on the prairie about a mile distunt. After an exciting chase, in which they turned the deer from point to point by their shots and shouting, they rode the bewildered animal down aud shot him. I rode to the spot, and th ereluy the buck at which I had fired. 1 was confident 1t was the same from a malformation of the antlers, whick I had noticed when [ had shot at him two days before. And there was the mark of my bullet through the top of the neck. The ball had creased the deer; that is, 1t had goue thr.ough the gristle on the top of the neck and had dropped him us effectually as if shot through the heart. But the wound had only stunned him and had done him no further in- jury. SPECIAL NOTICES, COUNOIL BLUFFS. FOR SALE AND RZNT. %) ACRE farm _pear the city inh & cultivation.

Ross & Co., Denver, Colo, ——0 A Montans Deer Hunt, Forest and Stream: Late one after- noon in the early winter of 1880, as 1 was leisurely riding along returning to our Montana ranch near the Hich- wood mountains, three deer, a buck and two does, jumped out of a small clump of trees in front of me, ran out a short distance on the prairie,deliberately stop- ped short and turned 'to gaze upon me, 'he distance was well within 150 yards, and immediately dismounting I threw up my rifle,drew sights on the nuck,and at the sharp crack he fell, With the remark, *Well, oid fellow, you are my ment,” pumped in another cartridgo from the magazine and fir largest doe. With one jump down she went sprawling. By thistime the third deer was runuing snd had reached the edge of the woods, and while she was in the air bounding over a log I fired. She also fell,but was up and off again in a moment, Feeling sure of the first two deer, and leaving them to take care of themselves, I ran to the woods for the victim of my third shot. As I expected, I found the snow plentifully spattered with blood. After following the trail for a short distance I found where the deer had lain down, leaving a pool of biood, and not much further along I found the doe again lying down and gasping out her last breath, On ex- amination I could not find where my rifle ball had entered, but benenth the right foreleg I discovered a splinter of wood protruding from o jagged wound, The following day I returned to the spot where the doe had jumped at the | P tions near the city.
