Lato detalls as to the shooting affray west of the city have come to hand and these o to show that the tragedy is worse than first reports would indicate. The story as now told 1s to the effect that Frank Fritct. the party who is charged with killing is not the young man indicated in yesterday's dispatches, but an elderly farmer some 60 years of age. It seems that he had been endeavoring to get a roadway through the land of Willlam Hunzecker and Ulrich Lion- berger, and the latler neighbors contested the matter, refusing to sell him the land, Fitch took the matter before the commis- sloners of Pawnee county and they awarded him the land, appralsing the damages at much less than Fritch orfginally offered. This fncensed the two neighbors and it is clalmed that Saturday evening as he was golng home from this city and started to open the gate to go down the dlsputed terri- tory, he was met by Lionberger and Hun- wecker and a quarrel ensued. It is claimed that the two men attacked the old gentle- man and were getting the best of him, when he drew & revolver and shot Hunzecker through the head, also firing one or two Ineffectiveh shots at Lionberger. Imme- dlately afterward Fritch went over to Paw- nee City and gave himself up to the officers. Reports today are o the offect that he sustained injuries which will Mkely cause bia death, his skull being badly crushed by ® blow, delivered by one of his assailants, it f& not known which The dead man is of middle age and all are well-to-do farmers, who have hitherto borne good reputations. Lionberger has not been arrested for his part in the tragedy. Hunzecker's funeral gill be tomorrow. PAWNEE CITY, Neb., Jan. 5.—(Special Telegram.)-~Will Hunzecker lles dead and Frank Fritch, sr., is dangerously hurt as the result of a controversy over the open- ing of a new road in Sheridan precinct, about six miles east of this place. Frank Fritclt and his son started to Hum- boldt yesterday morning and found the road obstructed with hedge brush. They re- moved the brush and wont on. When they returned about 8 o'clock last night they found the road agaln filled up and started to clear it. WIill Hunzecker and Ulrich Lionberger came out from behind some corn fodder and here what happened be- comes clouded. Fritch, It is sald, shot Hunzecker, and, it is olaimed, that after the shot was fired Hunzecker, who Wi armed with a hedge stake, struck Fritch across the head. Hunzecker's body was taken to the home of his father by consent of the coroner and Fritch was brought to the Hazel house in this city, where he is now under the doctor's care. Complete facts are difficult to obtain. < The inquest will be held tomortow morn- ing at 8 o'clock at Hunzecker's home in Sheridan precinct.

SUCCEEDS EVERETT-MOORE Company is Being Formed Part of Syndicate's Holdings. to Buy CINCINNATI, Jan. 6.—A company is be- tng formed by local capitalists, with a cap- ital stock of about $5000,0008 to buy the Everett-Moore holdings United raflway. The movement is being engineered by the brokerage firm of W. R. Todd & Co. and considerable ecastern and Detroft capital has been pledged The movement was started about ten days ago, upon recelving the first hints of the impending troubles in the Everett- Moore syndicate. A prominent local banker is now in Cleveland in the Interest of the proposed company. The Detrolt United rallway consists of the consollda- tion of the street car lines of Detroit and several suburban lines. It Includes 365 milgs of track and is capitalized at $12,- 500,000, of which between $7.000,000 and $8,000,000 is held by the Everett-Mocro syndicate. The object of the proposed company is to buy the stock at an upset price if It can be secured. CLEVELAND, O., Jan. i.—Henry Everett ald he knew nothing of the sale of the Detroit United rallway to Cincinnati parties ang referred the Associated Press to Colo- nel Myron T. Herrick and Chairman New- comb of the committee of seven bankers investigating fhe affairs of the syndicate. Bothegentlemen denled any knowledge of such proceeding. Stockholders of the Cleveland Electric company, of which Henry Everett is presi- dent, were pald their regular quarterly dividend of 1% per cent. The property is in most prosperous condition. ADMITS PART IN' BIG THEFT Negro Divulges Recent Stealing of Hundreds of Railroad Tickets. , *CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—James Roddey, a cot,, ored man. confessed to the police Saturday that he had taken part Thursday night in the theft of 620 railroad tickets worth $30,000. The tickets werg the property of the Chi- cago & Northwestern rallway and were for use between St. Paul and points in the west. The package was stolen out of a wagon belonging to the American Express company. The tickets were indorsed with the-names of the officials of the,road and could be easily filled out. James Roddy, alias Willlam Jones, and John Lew's were arrested while trying to sell tickets, Roddy told where the bal- ance of the tickets had been hidden. The police found them coucealed under a stair- way in a salovn. The blizzard is always bad enough on land, but at sea it is tenfold worse, relates the New York Times. It Is far more de- structive to lite and property, and so awful and threatening in its unknown and un- measured possibilities that the stoutest heart quails before it. Railroads may be snowed under on land by the flerce storms, towns and villages be actialty buried alive tor days and weeks and trafic of all kinds suspended indefinitely, but on the ocean the helpless bark scuds toward the haven- less port to certain destruction, and the tramp steamer labors heavily In the seas the voyagers hoping for the best. Thera is one class of ships that cannot run before the blizzard nar skulk in strange harbors to escape it. The express steamers must run on schedule time, and it may be that they’ must go forth to meet the monster, fully conscious of ,the Impending confliet. Occasionally the sailing of a mod- ern ocean greyhound may be postponed twenty-four hours in order to let the worst forth heedless of the weathen warnings Confident in thelr powegs, they grapple with the bllzzard and tofl triumphantly through the mighty confifet. In their regular naviga- tion of the ocean same of the big liners are sure to meet every blizzard. It Is always a speculation with the captains as to which boat of the line will capture the worst storm of the season. When a blizzard is reported raging in midatlactic or on the opposite coasi, the captain of the steamer whicl leaves port carries with him the good wishes and hopes of his fraternity. He knows the gravity of the situation, and he conserves his strongth and energy by resting well hefore the blizard is met. Then he knows that he must pit bis skill and knowledge and the power of his boat against the most glgantic elemental forces that ever com- bined for the destruction of human lite. The modern ocean greyhound burns all day, and 4he cost of fighting a blizzard at #ea is not an inconsiderable factor to reckon with. The company fully instructs its eap- tains to make speed in spite of the storm, | and only_to reduce the uormal speed when for | o %the Detroit | | traek, of a storm blow over, but usually they run the way from 200 to 800 tons of coal per’ Barled.

Recovers from Injuries DEADWOOD, 8. D., Jan, 5.—8ol Levison, who was shot In the left breast by a for- Costly Blizzards at Sea the limit of satety demands it. In the case of such steamers as Deutsch- land, her tweny-three-odd knots are only maintalned at an extreme expenditure of money for coal. Most of the steamers carry 3,000, 4,000 or 5,000 tons of coal for the trip, and when they limp into port aftef a rough journey they rarely have more than one-fifth or one-sixth of the reserve coal left in thefr bunkers. Delay fs thus costly on account of the coal consumed, and sometimes it might prove absolutely dangerous. The delay of a day of such steamers as Deutschland, Oceanic or any of the similar large steamers would cost in coal between $1,500 and $2,600. Under reduced speed the steamers would consume less coal, but on the theory that it costs less to hurry through with the trip the navigaters hurl thelr tons of iron and steel through the turbulent sea at a speed that seems al- most Incredible. The heaviest seas are liko the ehock of an earthquake as they strike agalnst the blg steamers, but except for & momentary hesitation the vessel con- tinues to worm its way throukh the moun- tains of water, forced ever forward by the powerful revolutions of the screws that never cease in their work. The coal expense of Deutschland for @ single trip across the ocean is roughly estimated at $15,000 when the journey is made in #ix days. The hard driving to which It is subject causes heavy deprecia- tion in value, or about 10 per cent, on the first cost of $3,500,000. In times of severe blizzards this strain is much greater and the depreclation may easlly run as high as 15 to 20 per cent, even when It reduces its epeed to fifteen knots an hour. If to these two formidable items the wages of the crew, cost of pro- visions, Insurance and food for the passen- gers be added, the cost of the trip runs up to $40,000 for the six days, or nearly $7,000 per day. This is approximately what a blizzard would cost the owners of Deutschland, Oceanic or Kaiser Wilhelm.

T ———— “ The Land Article Mild by Comparison . ber of blizzards the loss for the season has sometimes been considerable. A crack racer llke Deutschland may earn un- usually high rate of Interest on its Invest- ment during the few years it may hold the recofd, but after that period it becomes less popular and consequently less profitable. In one trip last summer the passenger fares of this steamer amounted to $143,000 and on the return trip $67,000. In that memora- ble trip it made a huge profit for its owners and a dozen more journeys were almost equally profitable. But in the winter season the profits will be nothing and In many cases heavy losses must be met. There is scarcely a blizzard on the ocean which does not cause delays or accldents of some kind to a few of the transatlantic steamers, and this loss equals In the aggre- gate hundreds of thousands of dollars for some storms. The old losses of wrecked ships were always made good by the marine insurance companies, but the modern losses from delays are rarely paid for by any out- side agent. They fall heavily upon the ship companies that operate the craft. In the great blizzard of 1888 a dozen Steamers were delayed from one to five days, and these losses ran all the way up from $1,000 for the ordinary tramp steam- ers to $3,000 and $5,000 for Etruria and Paris. Several of the lesser vessels were delayed as much as a week in that blizzard, and their losses, though smaller per day, were correspondingly Ker because of the greater length of time on the ecean. It 15 a pretty serlous matter for a modern steamer to get lost in a blizzard or to break any part of the machinery. The npum- ber of actual wrecks of ocean steamers in blizzards is really few, and confined chiefly to coasters of rather anclent build and pattern; but the losses through delays and slight accidents are so serious that steam ship companies and marine architects are making every effort to eliminate the evil. The. blizzard is still a formidable enemy to reckon with, and even though the pas- sengers are perfectly safe and free from danger, the storm is bound to Inflict finan: clal losses which have come to take the place of those caused by the wrecking of 6hips on the rocks add ri Promised Land, CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—Impetus to the move- ment to establish the Jewish race once more in Palestine was given tonight at a mass meeting of Zlonists at the Medinah temple | theater. Two thousand Hebrews, for the | mos? part supporters of the plan to open | again the promised land for the chosen | people, crowded the ball. The meeting | was in connection with the annual conven- tlon of Western Zionists, whose order em- braces ten sthtes. The plan determined upon at the Basle, Switzerland, conference was outlined by Leon Zolotoff, grand mas ter of the Knights of Aaron, who sald that the idea was to create a legally assured | home for the Jews and a refuge for the Jews which cannot be assimiliated among | the people with whom they now live. “We do not mean to take the Jews by the neck and throw them into Palestine,” he sald, “nor do we intend to transform the Jews over night into an agricultural people. We want to resume the broken bread of our nation; we want to show to the world the moral strength, the intellectual power of the Jewish people. We want a place where the race can again be centralized.” Addreas of Dr. Hirsch, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch gave his views on | the proposed movement. In view of the fact that the Zionists consider Dr. Hirsch's attitude on the question hostile to thelr plans, great interest was manifested in his remarks, Ho sald 1 agree with you that the condition of 700,00 Jews in Russia, Roumania and falicta fs a blot on civiilzation and cries out to heaven for redress.

ASSUMES TANGIBLE FORM Plan for Carnegie Institute Embodied in Articles of Incor- poration, for WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Secretary Hay and several other gentlemen interested In the fund of $10,000,000 to be preseuted to the United States by Andrew Carnegie to be used to advance the cause of education, met at the State department Saturday to consider the matter, 3 Articles of incorporation were submitted and admitted and will be filed at once. The name of the incorporation will be the Car. negie Institution. The definite form in which the gift of Mr. Carnegle will be made has not been announced, though according to those inter- ested in the project it will be in a shape generally satisfactory. It Is understood that it will be in the shape of gllt-edged securities, but not of government issue, in view of the greater income pald by the outside securities. The further development of the project now awaits the outline from Mr. Carnegle as to his ideas and purposes. The next step will be the organiaation of a board of trustees. This Toubtless will increase the present corporators and other prominent men from all parts of the country. This is in line with the policy pursued in or- ganizing the board for tho Carnegle Insti- tution in Scotland. SIGNS OF.
