L TWENTY- ANOTHER VICTI OF PASSION Two Italians Qaarrel anl One of Them Kil's the Other. FATAL ENDING OF A DAY OF PLEASURE K. Sealese Crushos in Veeso wit Iron Bar—Arrest of the Murderer—Particulars of the Affeay, the Skull of Tom an \ Gambling and drinking yesterday after noon were the cause of one man losing his life. The dead man, T'om Vecse, 18 an Itanan laborer agea about 35 years, K. Scalose is tho name of his slayer. All day yesterday the men were drinking togetuor through the Italian district, near Twentieth and Pierco strects, During the afternovn they wandered over into the vacant lots on Tswentieth stroet Dbetwoen Woolworth and Poppleton avenues, and engaged with sevoral others in playing Ttalian games. Veose, it was learned, had lost a little money, and Scalese chided him about it. A hoated discussion followed, and the result was that both mon became very angry. Struck the Fatal Blow. Just what the dead man said to the mur- derer could not bo learned, but, quick as a flash Scalese picked up an iron bar, which was Iying on the ground near by and struck Vocso a terrible tlow on the head just above the right eys and across the temple. Death was almost instantaneous. A call was sent in to the police station and the patrol wagon sent out. Word was also sent 1o the coroner, who responded at once. Upon the arrival of the patrolmen, Oficer Dick Moruell arrosted the Itaian murderor and ofter placing bim i irous looked around for some witnesses, After o bit of hustling Marnell arrested Jim Long, P. Costilda, Tony Mathews and Thomas Madaoline, and locked them up as state witnesses. Both the murderer and his vietim were railroad lavorers working on a B. & M. gravel train ana were scarcely known 1o the Italian distric Struck in the Heat of Passion As neither the witnesses nor tho prisoner can speak u word of English 1t was impos- sible last night for the police to obtain any particulars of the crume or the causes leading up to it. Judging from the fact that the poir tad been tozether all day, it is pre- eumed that the fatal blow was struck in a nomentary heat of - passion and was not the outcome of an old feud, Detectives went out to the various Italian resorts last night, but had hard work in find- g any ltalians who admitted that they could speak English, and those who eould talk a Lttle claimed to kuow nothing ubout Unknown * The body was laid out at the morgue, A 5 bill was fouud in ovo of the pockets of the decensed’s clothing, and that was all, nct o scrap of paper or a single thing to indicate the man’s name or to tell where was his _home, Several [talians called at the meraue tosee the remmns, but no onv identified them boyond tho fact that the murdered man had worked in or near South Omaha. Some claimed that his nume was West aod some snid Veese. The only two facts that the authoritios are sure of 13 that the wan is dead and that the murderer is in jail. Coroner Maul will hold the inquest some 1o today. WILL DEVELG DAKOT.1. Numerous Ruilre chemes Which Frove of Immense Benelit, Ravip Crry, 8.

Garduer, consul at K3tterdam, 18 1n the city on his way to his home in Mil- waukee on leave, He saia today: ‘‘When tho McKinley act was passed tho exporters looked very biuo, Trade fell off for a short time, but very soon adjusted itself to the new conditions. The Holland merchants were wrathy, though. They swore that the McKinley bil was a blow aimed at their interest with malics aforethought ond intent to ruin thews. After a time I became tired of hearing this talk and laid soms figures be- fore then, Of the twealy-soven exports which they sent to the United States the duty on sixteen remained unchanged under the bill, six were lowersd and five raised. Sumatra tobac2o was in the last class, as well as high grads pickles aud cheeses, 1 twld them that theso things were luxuries and that the people who cousumed them wero of the class who would not miud an iu- creaso in the prices if the higher tariff suould affect thom. *“I'ie tovaceo shipments dropped off largely, but this was partiv due to the fact thata supply sufticient for two years bad been sent here beforo the McKiiley bill went into effect. Our principal exports to Holland are oleomargarine, petroleum and grain. Lho grain importations from America of course rose while exportation from the Black sea ports were forbidden. The first threo months of 1801 showed a record D_{ 700,000 bushels trom the United States. while dur- ing the same period in 1502 7,000,000 oushels wero shipped. When tho 'bars were let cown in Kussia of course this rato was low- cred somewhat; but many Netheriand im- porters made counections with America which will not be broken.” Mr, Gardnor thiuks that tho conservatism of tho Hollanders will discourage importa ton of labor suving machinery for many years, Wasmixaroy Bereww or Tine BM:.} May See Washington's Tomb, The Grand Army encampment committee has made arrangéments to give all the old veterans a chance to see Washineton's tomb.

Stev n's View of Reform. Civil Service Reform Clevelana is continu- ally running agalnst Axeman Stevenson’s chopping record. Last night Represeutative Barnes Compton of Marylana opaved the campaign ir his districs. At tne couclusion of his speech he related an intervesting story of Stevenson to the effect (nat he (Compton) once called upon Stevenson to request the romoval of six republican postmasters in the Fifth district. Stevenson agreed to comply with the request and upon Mr. Compton remarking thut the weather was “‘very not” Steveuson sald: *It is never too bot for me 10 remove a republican.’” It may be added that Mr. Compton was opposed to the nomination of Mr. Clevelana. Result of Secretary Foster has sent o long letter to Senator Allen replying to the eriticisms of Representative Davis of Kansas on tbe de- partment statements on the suvject of the currency. ‘I'nese criticisms were made in letter printed in the Cougressional Record, which tho sccrotarv says he did not receive and oid nov see until a fow days ago. They are being used nw ws cimpiizn arguments by the people’s party caaaidutes, and Senator Allen has asked Secreuiry Foster to reply to them. Mr. Davis says that the coniention is mainly us to the status of the seven-thirty notes, and that if they did not circulate as money the treasury reports of 1855 and 1866 should not have tabulated them, and Senator Lowan skoald not have so quoted them. Replying to this tho secratary says: am unable to lind in the traasury reports 1835 and 1866 any statements, tabulated or otherwise, which include the seven-tmirty notes among the items of circulation, Ihe treasurer of the United Stutes wade no mention of them in his reports of currency for 1865 and 1806, Chey were not issued by bim as money, but by the secretary of the treusury as o loan. Che comptroller of the curreucy made o statement of the circula- tion for 1865, in which he mentioned the ono and two year notes and compound interest notes, thouxh he finally deducted from his table’ all but 10,000,000 of them, which ho cstimates as the amounv in actuul circula- tion. 5 “He, t0o, omitted all meation of the seven- thirty notes. Secretary MoCulloch published a tuble of tho paper circulation for October 31, 1805, which looted up about $704,000,000, ang be added to it £50,000,000 as an estimate of the one and two vear noces and compound interest notes iu circulution. He also omitted the seven-thirty notes from his table and from his estimate, though he expressed the opiuton that muuy of the suall denomina- tions of them were iu circulation as money.” No Foundation for the Statement, As the smallest denomination wus $50, and us there wero only about §44,000,000 of that denomnation issued, the sccretary’s indefi- nitely expressed opinion thal “‘many of them were in - circulstion d03s not afford very brond ground for the assertion that the whole sevou-tbirty loan of 530,000,000 was used as money. Continuing, the secretary suys thut Mr. Davis has misquoted Senator Lojzan, who separated theseven-thirties from .y,ana did not assert that Lhey wore in civculation. Mr. Foster says that he cau- not understand the lauguage attributed to Genoral Spinner that “the seven-thirty notes were intended, prepared, issued ard used as monoy, No statement, he says, could possibly be more insccurate, He quotes the circular offering the notes to the public as a loun and says that probubly no loan made by the goy: eriiment was ever so widely ndvertised as a loan. Concerning the statement that they were paid out as currency to the soidiers in the fiold, Mr. Foster quotes Secretary Fes- senden’s repocts in which ho spoke of the soldicrs who aceepted these notes expressing their satisfaction at being able to md their country by loaning mouey to tho govern- ment, Tho secrotary says that aftor careful ex- amination ho hos been unable to And any discrepancy between hib statements and those of Secretary McCulloch, Other led. ‘Then he says: “'In oue of the coucluding paragraphs of Mr. Davis' lotter there ap. pears toe followiug: ‘lo your coluwn headed, Amount in Circulation, 1 see no deductions aro made for bauk reserves @ required by law, Such legal reserves are us avsolutely out. of circulation as if locked up in the tressury or uncoined in the mines. You muke no deductions for lost or destroyed bills duriug thirty sears of wear and tear of the greenbacks, of thirteen yeurs of waar and tear of coln cortiticates, nor do you de- ouct for the wasting and loss of coius.” I'hese, Mr. Secretary, are all ltems, und sowe of them very lurge items, which should not be ov oked ln & correct estimate of the amount of monev 1o cirelation.” “Mr. Davis is correct lu stating that bank reserves are notdeducted.

P, Stringfield with reference to treatment for the cholera are worthy of careful con- sideration, the more so as thay are in the nature of preventives, and an ounce of pro- vention always is worth a pound of cure, Mo fortify against cholera is u wisor policy than to “attempt to chock it after it has gained a foothold. Dr. Stringhield says: “Cholera, liko many other diseases, 15 duo to & germ which must have an alkuline modium for development. 'Tnercfore, if you cause all the secrctions of tho bdy to ve- come acids the germ cannot thrive. If all persons would dvink freely of sulphuric- acid lemonade, mude by simply adding ten or fifteen drops of sulphuric acid to ® quart of ordinary luke water, boiled and th iced, or to any of the numerous spring waters, putting in sufficient sugar to muke it palatable, it would be a good proventive. Driuk this instoad of water or any otner bov erage, as itis harmless when proprly diluted and can be consumed in large qaantities. This acid has been employed with great ad- vantago in epidemics of cholera by Dr. Cu; tis in the Philacelphia almsnouse insane de- partment. A very sorions epidemic ceasea in twelve hours after the inmates wero all put upon the freo use of sniphuric acid lem- ouade, The only new case after this was that of o man who refused to uso the pro- phyluctic. Two davs after the use of the suiphuric acia was stopped two new cases again oceurred, and the epidemic was again urrested by ' the use of sulphuric acid. In thesurgical wards the ncid was used from the beginaing of thoemdemic, and 1n these wards, athough in no way isolated, the disease fuiled to mako an apnoirance. In view of this statement of facts tho preveative should be usea froely and early. It is of the uumost importauce to check the premonitory diarrboea, which is amennblo to prompt, sim- ple treatment, Cholera is generally preceded by diavrhaea, and an attack ver cly oc- curs when this symptom_receives oarly and appropriate attention. Excepting iu the frequent cases in which cholera is not pre- coded by diarrboea, 1t may, with almost absolute certainty, bo provented. The groatest difficulty is in the prompt avplica- tion of simple but effective treatment in all cases of diarrha dyring the epidemic, Very mAny pay no attention to the premonitory: symptoms through ignorance, and not a few of those better informed neglect it, either from recklessness or because thoy can not appreciate the fact that a disorder so slight and ordinary can be a precursor of §0 gravo a muludy a8 cholera. Ii Dr. Stringfield’s premiscs .are sound, and it ought to bo an easy matter to demo strate their truth or untruth, it follows that his conciusions must be correct, It the cholera bacillus is fond of an atkaline bath and flourishes under those condi- tions, then iv stands to reason he will ' not epjoy an acid bath nor flourish on 1t, and that suiphuric-acid lemon- ade will be Lis undoing. Wilih proper pre cautions in its preparation and with appro- priate seasoning it can be made u palatable boverage. It is cheap and easily prepared also, Everv person can have it on hand, Would it not bo well, therefore, for the Board of Health to investiyal efficacy and make # public statement? He says 1t hus been used bofore, and i3 not 10 any sense an experi- mentai remedy. Then 1t will be possivle to ascortain with & degree of certaiuty just what sulphuric-acid lemonade can do in warding off cholera, INCINERATED IN Some A CHURCH, One Woman Burned to Den During Re- liglons Services Yosterday.
