Feeling Runs High Against the Alleged Murderers of the Meeks. CARROLLTON, Mo., April 1.—So great is the hostility - to. the Taylors throughout this section that therewas serious discus- sion among the friends of law and order to-day of -the advisabilily of sending the two men to the Kansas City Jail for pro- tection and safe keeping. * Morton Jordan, Assistant - Attorney-General of the State, arrived to-day, and the rumor spread that he had been.sent” by Governor Stone to learn the state of feeling here and see if it would “be advisable to ‘send the = State militia- to protect the Taylors. Mr. Jor- dan, declared, however, that he had come to visit friends, to watch the local election to-morrow and to hear the arguments ‘in the Taylor trial. Asked if he thought the Taylors were in danger from a mob Mr- Jordan said: “I think not, because the jury probably will convict on the evidence. If thereisa hung jury, however, there will doubtless be much bitter feeling, and no -one can predict the result should there be a verdict of acquittal.” ‘When court opened - to-day the - lawyers on each side read the instructions of the court. to ‘the jury, after which the argu- ments were begun. — ON A4 TWELVE-CENT BASIS. Reduction of Grain Rates From Chicago o the Atlantic Seaboard. CHICAGO, Trr., April 1.—All the grain rates from Chicago to the Atlantic sea- board were figured to-day on.the basis of 12cents. The Grand Trunk, which made that rate first of all, was reported during the day as having given notice ‘of an advance within ten days, and later it was announced that “the Michigan Central wonld also make a 12-cent rate. The gen- eral opinion is that the rates will go still lower when navigation opens; but the roads cannot make train expenses if the tariff is put' much under the present figures. None of the roads, with the exception of the Grand Trunk, have admitted the mak- ing'of the 12-cent rate, but all are doing it.

Last night the vicinity of the ‘murder. +'was filled with an armed body.of citizens, gnumbering up into- the hundreds-and | ‘another chapter of crinie was added in the burning of the dwellings and outbuildings with their contents of the Greens, com- prising three families, an act which does not receive ‘the ‘sanction of law-abiding citizens. - This atrociotis deed has noequal |in the history of Crawford County, except- ing.the Logan murder. .

FIRST GIVEN A DRUG, And Then Their Throats Are Cut With a Ra- Zor. COOLLY PLANS THE CRIME, But She Fails ‘to Carry Out the Contemplated Killing of Herself. COLUMBUS, Osro, April 1.—Last Satur- day Mrs.'W. H. B. Williams, wife of a réal estate man residing at Grove City, a village about eight miles southeast of Columbus; arrived in the city with her three children, Anna, aged 14, Maud, aged 12, and Harry, {-aged 7, and registered at the Park Hotel. This morning about 8. o’clock Mrs. Wil- | liams left the hotel. - About 3 p. M. a cham- | bermaid who went ‘to the room found two of the children, Maud and Harry, dead in bed with their throats cut.. There was a bloody razor on the foot of the bed.. The boy had died without a struggle, but there were evidences that the girl had made a fierce fight with her inhuman mother. Anna said that when her mother went away she cautioned her not to go near the bed and to say nothing to any one about her absence. ~ Mr. Williams arrived this | afternoon and would not permit his daugh-. \’ ter to talk. Later Williams, his wife and his daugh- ter were locked up -at the police station | pending an investigation. Mrs. Williams showed no evidence of in- sanity and told the story of the V.orrible | crime in a calm voice. She said she had | made up her mind last week to kill herself and her children and came to Columbus for that purpose. She secured some opium and all three took the drug Saturday night. It took effect only on the little girl, Maud. She then determined to secure a razor, and waited until this morning. She first cut the boy’s ‘wrist, expecting him to bleed to death. He awakened, however, and then she cut his throat. The body of Maud was not touched by the razor. Mrs, Wil- liams said she then asked Anna to let her cut her wrist, but ‘the child begged so pit- eously ‘she lost courage and left the hotel, intending to drown herself. She - said it then occurred -to her that ‘Anna might be accused of the erime and she changed her mind and wentto the house of ‘a friend, Mrs. John:C. Lester, in another part of the town, where shé was found this evening. Anna was a witness of the murder of her little brother.: She says when ber mother went away from the hotel the latter can- ‘tioned her not to leaye the room for fifteen. or twenty minutes. Anna waited and then weiit to - her father’s office in this city and delivered to him a note which her mother had given her for her father. Shealso told hér father, according to Hher mother’s. re- quest, that the two-children weredead; and ‘e hastily returnéd with her to the hotel. FATHER KARMINSKI JHILED With Others He 1s Accused of Setting Fire to St. Paul’s Church: ThereIs Said to Be Strong Evidence ‘Against the Suspected Men. OMAHA, Nesr., April 1.—Father Kar- minski and : twelve members of St. Paul's Catholic Church . were “arrested. to-night charged with burning that building last week. The: first warrant was:served on Priest Karminski. At the ‘time of -arrest he was it his room at the hotel. He seemed to be considerably ~surprised, but- made no ob- jection to going to jail. 1t is alleged that there are a large num- ber of witnesses who will swear that the fire was first' seen by them inthe upper part of the building, and that the lower part was entirely free from fire. This is considered a strong. point, show- ing that the fire-was started by men who werein the building. All the arrested men are those known to have been in the building on watch on the night that the church was burned, e e s PARNELL F1GHTS A BEAR. The Midwinter Fair Man-Eater Had the Best of It. LAREDO, Tex.. April 1.—At 4 o’clock P. M. yesterday -in .a bulli tng at New La- redo, Mexico, - the - African' lion. Parnell fought ‘a terrible: battle-with an enormous grizzly bear of the American type.. The attendance was large. The animals fought desperately two rounds until completely. exhausted, ‘but, contrary to expectation, neithier was_ killed. Ttwas a bloody com- bat. The crowd went wild when twice the ‘American ‘grizzly threw his: African op- ponent; erstwhile the king of beasts, so hard upon thie ground that once, had time ‘been called according to the usual rules; Throughout: the battle -the lion. showed more agility and ‘treachery, but- the bear must be given the palm forstubborn, stolid strength. : Parnell is owned by Colonel E. Daniel Boone, the lion-tamer, and is the beast fhat killed its keeper at the Midwinter Fair. The ‘bear is somewhat larger and heayier than the lion, and ‘was secured at New Or- leans, where' he killed: two keepers. Tt is believed to be the first time on.record that such-a combat has taken place. % Mr. Zercombe, the editor of the’ Laredo. ‘Times, was fortunate énough to- secure’ four excellent instantaneous photographs of the battle. The fight took place in ‘a’ large circular ‘steél cage 20 feet in diame- ter and 15 feet in height. - No more thrill- ing spectacle . was ever witnessed than the spring made’ by the lion as he bounded .info the cage with a magnificent leap. of fully fifteen jeet and grappled with his antagonist, S & x TALKS TO THE MERCHANTS.

Mrs. Booth said this was the first time she had ever had the honor of ad- dressing such an audience, and she fully realized the necessity of speaking 1o the point and briefly. She referred to the former contempt the Salvation Army was held in, and to-day its soldiers were not avoided in the highways, and of the change which had come over the people. Now, instead of a feeling of repugnance the churches and the people were lending their aid in every way. - “The Salvation Army,” she said, “is not organized for the purpose of taking away from any church its members, but to bring them more members by redeeming from sin and darkness those who are found in the highways and byways—the poor, needy and the fallen.” Mrs. Booth’s remarks were listened to attentively,and at the close the applause was long and loud. : BOUNTY ON BEET SUGAR.

Nearly all the measures passed are purely local in nature. DEPEW ON DUCATION. He Would Have a Great National Uni- versity Established, CHICAGO, ILL., April 1.—Convocation of Chicago University was held in the Aud- itorium to-night. - Chauncey M. Depewde- livered the address, and in the course of his remarks said : ““This institution, which owes its exist- ence to the beneficence of Rockefeller, is in itself a monument of the proper use of wealth-accumulated by a man of genius. So ‘is Vanderbilt, and so are the old col- leges, as they have received the benefaction of ‘generous, appreciative and patriotic wealth, But in view of the dangers which are about us and of the difficulties which are before us, we cannot rely upon what the rich may do or what the philanthro- pists may suggest. It would be a long step forward in popularizing higher education if the Government had established at Wash- ington a great national university.” DUTLINED I THE ASHES Sensational Evidence Against Mexicans Convicted of Murder. Although They Burned the Victim’s Body Traces of the Crime Remained. SANTA FE, N. Mex.,, April 1.—Two young Mexicans, Jesus Vilpandro: and Feliciano Chavez, were found guilty of murder in the first degree in the District Court to-day.

Nothing remained buta few bones and one foot encased in a rubber shoe.” They took Martinez’ horse and es- caped.- After they wepe trailed by Sheriff Cunningham for fifty miles they shot the horse and burned the saddle and bridle. Martinez had a faithful dog that played an iniportant -part in the discovery of the murderers. ~ After killing Martinez . and hedping logs upon the campfire over his body, Vilpandro shot the dog in‘the ~head. During the trial'a man named Angel in his testimony said that he saw distinctly the outlines of a murdered man’s form lying in the ashes.. The form seemed impalpable, but - perfectly distinct and in bold Telief. When: ‘cross-questioned the young man could not be shaken in his description of this most singular .phenomenon. His tes- timeny was most dramatic and caused a profound sensation. of awe and wonder in the room. —— SUFFRAGE FOR UTAR. Unsuccessful dttempt o Defeat a Plank in the Constitution. SALT LAKE, Utan, April 1.—The con- stitutional conventien indulged in another exciting debate to-day on the woman suf- frage question. One member declared that: the -woman suffrage plank was put in the Republican platiorm at the last elee- tion to catch votes, and that the Demo- cratic convention sought to outbid them.

President Smith believed the time had .come: for woman suffrage, and said he would voteac- cordingly. A motion to close the debate at 3:30 was lost. The convention adjourned with a substitute for separate submission of the suffrage section. Debate on the substitute closés to-morrow, and a vote is expected in the afternoon.

FRIEDRICHSRUHE, GErRMANY, April 1.—Since early"this . morning’ trains have been arriving here loaded with - visitors from all partsof the empire desirous of congratulating Prince’ Bismarck on his eightieth birthday. 'Among them was a deputation from the Zeydlitz Cuirassier Regiment, of which the Prince is honorary colonel, one composed of university pro- fessor, and another ' of Senators from Hamburg, Lubeck and Bremen.’ A dispatch of congratulation which King Oscar of ‘Sweden and Norwaysent Prince Bismarck alluded: to the latter as' the creator of . Germany unity. Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria telegraphed con- gratulations to-day. The weather was glorious. - By 8 o’clock five trains, each bringing about 1000 peo- ple, had arrived from Hamburg. ' In addi- tion great numbers of people flocked here from various country roads. The railroad station was hung with garlands, flags and Chinese lanterns. A deputation 4000 strong from the nni- versities of Germany took up positions in front ‘of the palace this aftéernoon, and when Prince Bismarck appeared he was greeted. . with = deafening - cheers. The spokesman of the students then read an address of congratulation and presented the ex-Chancellor with a gift subscribed for by the students. After thanking his visitors' the Prince conversed with several and returned to the house after a fresh storm of cheers. 5 The general public was not admitted o the castle gardens where the reception was held, but thousands gathered in the meadows on the other side of the stream overlooking the gardens.. At 12:30 p. M., the band of the Fourth Regiment of Foot Guards: took a position in the garden op~ posite the palace and played the “Halle- lujah” chorus from the ‘Messiah” and other popular airs. Soon' the strains of “Die Watch Am Rhein” were heard in the distance, announcing ‘the approach of the students’ procession. The terrace at the time was occupied by Prince Bismark, his family and their numerous ‘guests. The Countess von Rantzau, daughter of Prince Bismarck, and the Countesses Heérbert and William Bismarck were attired in summer toilets, while several of the gentiemen in the party wore uniforms, but Count von Rantzan; Count Herbert - Bismarck - and Count William Bistarck were in ordinary morning: dress. - Prince Bismarck’s sister, the Countess von Arnim, and her two grandsons were also present. At 1:50 P. n. the students’ procession emerged upon the triangular: space under the terrace, presenting a strikingly bril- liant spectacle, the sun glistening on the drawn swords of the students and display= ing to advantage the gorgeous gala uni- forms of the ‘various corps, consisting of white breeches and gauntlets and silk ‘and velvet doublets; many-colored : sashes and caps, ornamented: with ostrich feathers. As the students were marshaled in front of the terrace and on the rising -ground to the left the band played “Heildier Sieges- kranz.”" - The crowds about the castle had by that time been swelled to 12,000 persons. At'the moment the Prince’s stately form was recognizeéd by the students and the public therearose a mighty cheer, which echoed far and wide, and the students clapped their swords together in the air. Prince Bismarck wore a Cuirassier uniform and was without a cloak. He raised his - helmet and stood bowing until the cheers had subsided. The spokesman of the students’ deputa- tion, Bruch, a theological student of the TUniversity of Bonn, then ascended the tribune and conveyed to Prince Bismarck the congratulations of his. fellow-studentsy representing thirty universities, in a few appropriate words, and. concluding. with the presenting to the Prince of an address, requesting him to accept as a birthday present 2 handsome shaft of marble, -iron, silver and gold, with symbolical figures and surmounted with the German eagle. Prince Bismark, having inspected and admired the monument, which occu pied a prominent place on the corner of ‘the ter- race, advanced to the balustrade, and amid renewed cheers and clashing swords, re- plied to the address of the students. He spoke for about twenty minutes, clearly and distinctly, but with less force and point than when addressing the delega- tions of. the Reichstag a week ago. 1Inthe course of -his remarks he: duly acknowl- edged the honors bestowed upon him. After the cheers for the Emperor had been given by the studentsand the throngs beyond hearing of the speaker’s voice, the students sang the ‘“Bismarck Lied” (Bis- marck’s song) 1n stentorian voices with en- thusiasm. The Prince, attended by Dr. Schweninger and Count Herbert Bismarck, then descended. the steps and spent ten minutes ‘among the students. Returning | to the terrace the Prince took a beer glass from a set presented to him by the stud- ents, and having filled it with beer, he raised it aloft with the words, ‘“Viva Lace- dama, viva membrum quo:’ libel.” After this toast' Prince ‘Bismarck drained his glass and held it upside down to show that it was quite empty. - The deputations began to march out.of the grounds singing ‘“Deutschland, Deutschland Ueber Alles” and other patriotic songs. % : - During the. évening there was a great. torchlight procession, the Sachenwald was illuminated, and -Prince Bismarck and his BERLLY, GERMANY, April L—All'of the ‘public and most of the private buildings were bedecked -with flags ‘and bunting in ‘honor of the eightieth birthday of Prince | Bismarck.

At the theaters there were special performances, with prologues ap- propriate to the day. 3 STUTTGART, Germaxy, April 1.—The King of Wurtemburg sent .an aid-de- camp with a letter of congratulation to Prince Bismarck.

Y., A pril .—Bismarck’s birthday was celebrated by the Germans in this city to-day. Flags were flying throughout the German districts on the East Side. All German socicties celebrated in some manner. Specials state that similar celebrations were_also- held at Chicago, Ill., 8t. Louis, Mo;, Cincinnati, Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio, and Milwaukee, Wis: IN HONOR OF BISMARCK. German Residents Meet to Celebrate His Eightieth Birthday. How large a share of the affections of Germans - throughount the world Prince Bismarck possesses was amply demon- strated. by the honor done him yesterday on the occasion of his eightieth birihday by his compatriots who reside in this city. At the handsome new quarters of the Deutsche Verein in the Parrott building, corner Post and Powell streets, that society. turned out nearly its entire membership to participate in the festivities arranged to celebrate: the occasion. There was also nearly an equal number of ladies seated at the banquet board. The elegant dining hall of the society was tastefully decorated for the occasion, the most prominent features being an im- mense American flag draped on each of the side walls and the emblem of the Ger- man Empire in_graceful folds on the wall at the head of the stairs. Down the room were arranged three long tables, and at the upper portion, at right angles to these, was another long table. On these were laid ‘covers for about 200 people. ' The menu was choice and boun- teous, and its digestion was aided by a Iiberal supply of champagne and other wines. Interspersed with the discussion of the material comforts set -before the guests were the numbers of a literary and musical programme. Introductory rema rks were made by President A.Bundschu of the Deutsche Verein. The German Consul-General, A. Rosen- thal, responded eloguently to the toast, “Bismarck’s Birthday.” Then came the “Wacht am Rhein”’ by the orchestra. Mrs. Bundschu’s recital of ‘‘California’s Greet- ing to Bismarck” called forth enthusiastic a%huse and was followed by the song *“We Congratulate,” rendered by all pres- ent. The words were the composition of Mr. Bundschu. Vice-Consul Loban spoke ((} “Bismarck and the New German K}'Jm- re. POrchestral music preceded Dr. Max Richer’s address on “Bismaick, Our Hon- orary Member,” and he was followed by Professor A. Herbst, who took as the text of his remarks “Bismarck as a College Student.”” All_present then joined in singing ‘‘Hail Bismarck,’ the words of which were composed for the occasion by M.
