THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1896 PROCEEDINGS IN SENATE AND HOUSE An 0ld Controversy Over Printing Is Brought Up Again. ONE CONTRACT OPPOSED. All the Republicans Voted Against Receding From an Amendment. THE MAYBRICK CASE DROPPED Owing to a Lack of Jurisdict'on the Resolution of Remonstrance Is Reported Adversely. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—The ation of Patent Oice matters by nate Committee on Printing two 3 ago in connection with Josiah Quincy, Assistant Secretary of State, who objected to severe criticism, was recalled by an incident in the Senate proceedings to-day. Mr. Quincy bad been interested while in office in procuring for a business friend a contract for printing the Patent Office Gazette at rates very much less than those at which the work had been done so many years by an electrotype printing firm iz Washington. When the Legislative appropriation bill was before the Senate some weeks ago an amendment was offered and agreed to ask- ing the extension of that contract for another year. The conference report on that bill, which was made to-day, left that amendment as one of those on which the conferees had not agreed. Thereupon Gorman (D.) of Maryland, who was chair- man of the Committee on Printing when that investigation was made, moved that the Senate recede from the amendment, and his motion was agreed to, 28 to 25, although it was opposed by the chairman of the Committee on Patents (Platt, R., of Connecticut), and was voted against by nearly all the Republican Senators. The Judiciary Committee of the Senate spent some time in disposing of the joint resolution referred to last Thursday, pro- posinga remonstrance with the British Government ip the matter of the imprison- ment of Mrs. Maybrick. The joint resolu- tion was reported back to-day adversely on the ground that the Senate had no jur- isdiction over the subject. The report was placed on the calendar and will probably not be heard of again. The main part of the day’s session was occupied with speeches on the Dupont election case, Burrows of Michigan and Brown of Utah arguing in favor of Mr. Dupont’s right to the seat. The Senate at 5:10 adjourned. To-d: session of the House under the rules was devoted to consideration of busi- ness pertaining to the District of Columbia and various matters of local interest were disposed of. A bill to regulate marriage in the District provoked a long discussion. Owing to the absence of a quorum on the | vote ordering the previous question on its vassage the House at 4:30, without dispos. of the bill, adjourned until to-morrow. An Important Decision Relating to Bond Litigation in Mississippi. The Use of the Term * Gold Coin” Does Not Invalidate the Issue. WASHINGTON, p. C., April 13.—The Supreme Court of the United States recon- vened after a ten days’ recess and handed down opinions in a score and a half of cases. Mississippi litigation was the occa- sion of the most important, if not the most interesting decisions. Amos Wood- ruff, trustee of the German Bank of Mem- phis, holders of certain bonds issued by the Mississippi Levee Board No. 1 brought suitin the court of Hinds County, that State, to enforce a lien and trust upon cer- tain lands in that county, created in their favor as holders of such bonds. These bonds were issued in 1871, and were made payable in ‘“gold coin,” although the in- terest coupons were payable in “lawful money.”’ The case went against the plain- tiffs, and the Supreme Court of the State affirmed the judgment of the trial court. In its decision the Supreme Court said: “When the bonds were issued ‘zold coin’ was not the basis of the business of the country. It was money, but of much greater value than the circulating me- dium, consisting of United States treasury notes and of National bank notes, of which we take judicial notice. All debts payable in ‘dollars’ generally were as now, solvable in legal tenders, but an obligation payable in gold can be discharged only according toits terms. In authorizing the issuance of bonds from $1,000,000 and in the use of the term ‘money’ the Legislature must be supposed to have meant in the act cited that money which constituted the basis of the general business of the country and was a legal tender for the payment of debts. Therefore there was no zuthority in the act for the issuance of bonds paya ble in gold coin, and they were void for wan of authority for their issuance.” From this decision the bor.d-owners ap- pealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The opinion of the court was an- nounced” by Chief Justice Fuller. Itdis- cussed at great length the question whether or not *‘gold coin” was ‘‘money,” and reached the conclusion that is was money, and therefore that the use of that term in a bond issued under authority to borrow money was not invalid. The judgment of the Supreme Court of the State was reversed and the cause remanded, with instructions to procesd in a manner not inconsisteut with the opinion. Unusual features were shown in the case of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company vs. George 8. Lewis et al., appealed from the Circuit Court for Montana. Lewis et al. sued the railroad company for the ue of 10,000 cords of wood destroyed by fire caused by a spark from one of the rail- road company’s engines. The railroad company set up that Lewis et al. were not the rightful owners of the wood, it having been cut by them without | great influx of Italian paupers. authority upon G()/vernment land. The Montana court held that their title was zood against the railroad company and gave judgment in their favor. The Su- preme Court, in an opinion read by Jus- tice Peckham, reversed the judgment and remanded the case, holding that the title of Lewis et al. was not sufficient to entitle them to recover. Justice Harlan announced the decision of the court upon the validity of an act passea by the Legislature of Arizona, in wiich the limits within which the courts may act in determining the action of the Legisiature were defined. The case was that of W. A. Harwood vs. A. Went- worth, a contest for possession of the office of Recorder of Cochise County, in that Territory, the question involved being whether or not the act in guestion was to take effect January 1, 1897, or at the time of passage. The official document did not contain that stipulation, and 1t was sought to show by parol evidence that the original bill was 50 amended. Justice Harlan stated that in line with the views expressed in Field vs. Clark, presenting the same question relating to an act of Congress, the courts were not justified in going behind the record as shown by the enrolled act as deposited with the Secretary of State, approved by the Governor and signed by the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate. The judgment of the Supreme Court of the Territory was affirmed. PALMER AT WASHINGTON. Trying to Wind Up the Affairs of the World’s Fair. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, April 13.—Ex- Senator Palmer has come to Washington on business connected with the settlement of the affairs of the Columbian Expo- sition and says he will not leave the cap- ital until matters are satisfactorily ar- ranged. “"Ample authority has been given the Secretary of the Treasury to distribute the medals and diplomas,” said the for- mer ruler of the White City, “and 1t was our wish that the exhibitors should have had both by March 1 of this year. Still we are counting on everything being cleared up, so far as the bureau of awards is con- cerned, by May 1, 1896.” RUSH OF PAUPER LABDR. Thousands of Italian Immigrants Coming to the United States. Many of Them Are Without Means and Will Not Ee Permitted to Land. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 13.—The steamer Bolivia of the Anchor line arrived from Genoa and Naples yesterday. She brought 1376 Italian immigrants. Six hundred of them were detained at Ellis Island, on the ground that they are likely to become public charges. Of this number | none had more than a dollar or so, while many of them were practically penniless. Dr. Senner said that only 10 per cent of those detained would be allowed to land. The steamer Alesia of the Fabre line, also from Naples, reached the bar last night with 1064 more on board. They were landed at Ellis Isiand to-day. The immi- gration authorities are surprised at the 15,000 have already arrived, and Dr. Senner has received advices that 15,000 more are about to sail from Naples. Dr. Senner is very alert, and is enforcing the immigra- tion laws to the letter, particularly in the | case of Italians, in the bopes of discourag- ing their fellow-countrymen, but this ap- parently has no effect on them. “What they wiil do in this country I am at a loss to comprebend,” said Commis- sioner Senner. **Already this year we have admirted more than 15000 Italians. A cable dispatch last Thursday stating that 15,000 more were ready to start from Na- vles is correct, and they will come along as soon_as they secure passage, so you see that before spring melts into summer we | shall have an additional 30,000 of Italy’s refuse population to comgete with Ameri- can laborers. Many of those who arrived vesterday had not sufficient money with which to purchase a pint of bad claret. In a great many instances §lrepresented their financial possessions, and a majority will undoubtedly be sent back. “‘Another Anchor line steamer, the Bel- gravia, is now on her way to this port from Naples, and will arrive in about three weeks with 1400 more Italians. There are several causes to which we might attribute the exiraordinary output from Italy. The prime cause to my mind, however, is the great dissatisfaction with the condition of their native country. is probably a fact that a large percenage coming here are fleeing to escape being pressed into service as soldiers. Then, again, they may be rushing over for fear the introduction of an educational test to strengthen our immigration laws might keep them out later. “&hn I might term the semi-official indorsement of several large colorization schemes, which have also been sanctioned by the Italian Embassador, may have something to do with the sudden exodus from Italy. It is a mistaken idea in the minds of & great many that immigration generally is increasing. That is not so. Outside of special Italian immigration our statistics show a decrease of more than 40 per cent since the immigration laws were made more stringent in 1893.” e AFTER RAILROAD OFFICIALS. Unfair Diseriminations May Cause a Batch of Indictments. CHICAGO, IvL., April 13.—Subpenas for scores of the highest railroad officials living here and in the East, for the biggest packers of meat, shippers of dressed beef, manufacturers and wholesale merchants, have been issued by authority of the United States Court for this district, com- manding the appearance of these promi- nent citizens before the next Federal Grand Jury, which meets here May 4. A supreme effort is to be made by the District Attorney, Mr. Black, his special assistant, Mr. ndis, and the agents of the Interstate Commerce Commission to indict railroad officials and shippers for discrimination in making ana receiving rates, at the same time making use of such testimony which may be secured from witnesses under the protection and com?nlsion afforned by the Brown decision of the Supreme Court, to prove the existence of a beef trust among Chicago packers. The closest secrecy has been observed in the offices of the District Attorney and United States Marshal as to the mode of procedure, and the Grand Jury, which was drawn last week, was selected with exceptional care, in view of the important work to come be- fore it. —_— Went Through & Trestle. LOUISVILLE, K., April 13.—Five men were killed and two fatally wounded at Bedford, Ind., at9 o'clock this morning, by a belt-road engine and flat car going through a trestle. illed: Charles Ogdea, conductor; Sherman C.‘?enter. fireman; Warren Lee Pamond, Walton Kentucky, D.

Goodell of Kear- ney and J. W. Myers of Newport as dele- ates to the St. Louis convention. Reso- utions favoring McKinley were adopted. The nominating convention will be held later at North Platte. More than | It FIRST DEFEAT | FOR GRIFFO, McKeever of Philadelphia Proves to Be a Better Boxer. BOTH IN GOOD FORM. For the First Five Rounds the Australian Did the Most Effective Work. THEN THE FIGHTING CHANGED During the Remainder of the Contest the Man From the Antipodes Was on the Defensive. MASPETH, L. I, April 13.—The Griffo- McKeever contest, which was the star at- traction at the Empire Athletic Club to- night, drew but a slim crowd, owing to a report during the afternoon that Griffo had been arrested on a charge of being about to participate in a prize.tight, and that to- night’s contest would in consequence be put off. The Australian was arrested but was released. The curtain-raiser was a ten-round bout between Fred Morris, better known as “Muldoon’s Cyclone,” and Charley Strong of Newark, both colored. Strong got the decision. Shortly after 9 o’clock the stars appeared. Griffo bad trained with more than usual steadiness for this contest,while McKeever was also in great form. The first five rounds were in favor of Griffo, but the rest of the fight was to McKeever's credit. He was the aggressor until the end of the twentieth round and frequently had Griffo on the ropes. Griffo defended himself su- perbly, but did not try to score points by leading. The referee declared McKeever the win- ner, a decision that met with almost uni- versal favor. This was the Australian’s first actual defeat in this country, where his wonderful skill as a defensive boxer gained him a great reputation. eEi g e SOME OLDTIME BASEBALL. Rain dtopped a Contest Between Veterans | of the Sixties. | ROCKFORD, Irn, April 13. — Rain | stopped the most unique game in the his- tory of baseball to-day. Veterans of the sixties, whose names were once household words, met in a contest according to the old rules that gave the batter nine balls, made a foul on a bound out, and caused a runner to be called out if he overran first | base. | The umpire of the game was H. H. | Waldo, 76 vears of age, known as the *Father of the Forest Citys,” which team was organized here in 1865 and played until 1875, being one of the most famous clubs in tie country. The game to-day was in honor of Harry Wright, the pro- | ceeds going to the erection of & monument | to him in Philadelphia. It was made a | reunion of the players of the old Forest | City team, and a number of players who had been prominent in other teams volun- | teered services. One team was made up of A. G. Spald- ing, G. E. King, Frank Trumbull, Al Bar- ker, M. L. Wheeler, R. C. Buckman, W. L. Lighthart, B. Osborne and Fred Cone. The other club consisted of ‘*Cherokee’’ Fisher, M. Larue, | Stearns, Dan O'Leary, E. C. Dunn, George Wright, C. T. Page and M. H. Golden. Spalding and King and Fisher and Larue formed the batteries. George Wright, a brother of Harry Wright, played shortstop for his team. The Forest City’s blanked their opponents, and in their half batted out four runs, when a heayy rainstorm stopved the game. The attendance was | 2500, tbe tureatening weather keeping thousands away. CINCINNATT, Onro, April 13.—A game of ball of unusual interest was played here this afternoon between the old Cincinnati nine of 1882, which won the American As- sociation pennant of that year, and this ear's Cincinnati National League club. | The game was for the benefit of the Harry ‘Wright monumont fund and over 3000 people were in attendance. The leaguers won by a score of 7 to 3. PEORIA, Irn., April 13.—The Harry ‘Wright day ball game between the Cleve- land and Peoria clubs was prevented by rain, the game beinig called in the first in- ning. There was a large attendance. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—Harry ‘Wright day was honored to-day by the ap- pearance of the best players in the De- partmental League against the Washing- ton League nine. The crowd witnessed the departmental players’ retirement in a six-inning contest. Score, 29 to 1. The receipts were $129. BOSTON, Mass., April 13.—A picked nine of Boston players, cabtained by the veteran John P. Merrill, plaved against Harvard at the South End to-day and beat the collegians handily by a score of 14 to 10. NEW YORK, N. Y.,” April 13.—Harry Wright day at the Polo grounds was not an unqualified success. About 500 persons saw a tedious game between the New Yorks and Metropolitans. New York won by a score of 14 to 4, BALTIMORE, Mb., April 18.—Harry Wright day was all that the average base- ball ¢nthusiast could desire in the way of warm, sunshiny weather, and 1500 people attended the game this afternoon. The score: Baltimore 9, Byracuse 2. —_——— GARNIER AGAIN LOSES. Not in It With Schaefer, the Wizard of the Cue. BOSTON, Mass., April 13.—The billiard tournament which was opened to-night by Schaefer and Garnier, was won by the former. It is the second in the series of international billiards between Garnier, Schaefer, Ives and Daly, the last nathed joining the tourney here. Three hundred points constitute an evening’s play, and what the men seek is the biggest slice ofa vurse of $5000 and a swzepstakes of $250 each. The game was cushion carom. About 400 spectators were present in Bum- won tne bank, but failed to score. nier tried, but was xissed off. Then Jake clicked off 35. Garnier won applause by a beautiful return bank and an all-round the table shot in the third. The thirteenth inning was but one for the Wizard, an for the Belgian. The score was: Schaefer, 80: Garnier, 50. When the sixteenth inn- ing opened the balls were rolling justright for Jake. He nursed them at the rail for 16 counts, and then brought down the house by driving the object ball the length of the table and the other across for a gather. He counted fast until 32 was called, and slipped up on a masse, a fear- fully hard try. Jake got the spheres up against the rail fnr{ cushion-carom nurse in the twenty-fifth, and made 39. A kiss- cushion shot was the feature of the Gar- roductive of was barren thirty-first inning. It was made by ~ Garnier, who rolled up 3, after Schaefer nad failed to score. / Harry Starr, W. 8. | stead Halli when the zame began. Schaefer ! Little was done except 1n the thirty- fourth inning, when Garnier made 12, un- til the thirty-eighth. Schaefer opened with a run or 23 and Garnier followed with 34 and then stopped by a miscue. The game from the thirty-eighth inning was slow and uninteresting until the opening of the fifty-sixth. With the score 269 to 222 in favor of Schaefer, Jake col- lected the balls at the head of the table and revived interest with a run of 31, which finished the game. 2 Score—Rchaefer, ; Garnier, 222; win- ner's highest run, 39; loser’s highest run, 34; winner's average, 5 10-56; loser’s aver- age, 354-56.

MEMPHIS, Texx., April 13.—To-day's races were run in the rain overa heavy course and before a scant audience. Ason every previous day the starting machines created strong dissatisfaction. In the fourth race the start was good so far as the bunching of the horses went, but the gate lifted too slowly, catching Jockeys Bunn and T. Murphy, having the mounts respectively on Rey del Mar and Tranby. Both were jerked from their mounts. Rey del Mar made the circuit riderless while Tranby jumped the fence.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mgexico, April 13.— A telegram from Oaxaca Uity says the rebel Indians 2t the town of Juquela killed all the Town Councilors, school teachers, local priest, Chief of Police and the tele- graph operator, all holding Government places. " Troops have been sent for. The recent military movement against the rehel Zimatlans has resulted in driving the Indians into the mountains. They be- gan their plotting in Holy Week, incited by Indian lawyers, who informed them that the new State taxes were unconstitu- tional. The authorities paid no attention to the of the season. They procured arms and captured the Town Hall, They sacked the place; and penetrating the private apartments of the prefect, grossly maltreated the women of his family, and murdered and wounded nearly all of the servants and officials. After sacking the Town Hall the mob went to the Federal stamp office and as- sailed it, burning down the outside door with petroleum, which communicated fire to the entire house. Many shops were burned after being sacked. The Indians fled and are now in the hills, Lot TOYED WITH THE DYNAMITE. Two Hundred Matabeles Blown to Death and Many Other Natives In- Jured. LONDON, Exg., April 13.—The man- ager of the British South Africa Com- pany’s mines at Gwele wires that upon the withdrawal of the chartered company’s men from that place they left their stores of dynamite behind. The Matabeles occupied the place after it was abandoned by the British and while they were tampering with dynamite it ex- ploded, killing 200 natives and injuring many more. In the House of Commons to-day Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Colonial Sec- retary, stated that Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of the Cape Colonies, had wired the Government that he was about to send 500 regular troops to Rhodesia from Natal in addition to the volunteers, and 250 Ba- sutos, who have already left for Rbodesia. The War Office is making arrangements to replace the troops that have been ordered to the interior. UGS I ARMENIANS NEED HELP. Reports of the Work of the National Re- lef Committee. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 13.—The Na- tional Armenian Relief Committee, to whose treasurer, Brown Bros. & Co., 59 Wall street, New York, all funds should be sent, has received a report from Harpoot, dated March 2. It shows that at that | time there were 23,739 persons on the Nst ‘who received two pieces of bread per day from the committee. Bedding and under- clothing are supplied as far as possible, and women are employed to do the work. Many men have been employed in repairing the burned buildings. Money has been given to many. Up to the time of the report 60,154 persons had been helped. 1t is costing about $5000 a week. By the end of April $50,000 will have been distributed. It is estimated that fully $500,000 would be needed to properly cloth and feed the needy. 3 R Opposed by the Volksraad.

INTRICATE CHARACTER. Successive Measures Tending to Extra Holdings of Farmers and Peasants. RELIEF FOR THE TENANTS. {John Di'lon Says the Irish Will Be Disaprointed With the Scheme ' Proposed. LONDON, ExG., April 13.—Gerald Bal- four, Chief Secretary for Ireland, intro- duced the Irish land bill in the House of Commons to-day. In doing so he referred to its complex and intricate character, and said it was more like a coliection of small bills than a comprehensive measure formed to carry out a basic proposal. Mr. Balfour reviewed the effects of the succes- sive land acts as tending to extend the holdings of farmers and peasants. He held that the Ashbourne act of 1885 better assisted to the purchase of land than the act of 1891. The present measure would carry out the best principles of the Ash- bourne act, would adopt several of the features of Mr. Morley’s bill of 1895 and would add a series of provisions amending the precedurs of previous acts and faci tate a working purchase system. Regard- ing arrears the bill proposed that a tenant who was able could in all cases redeem his holding by the payment of two years’ arrears, leaving the landlord to recover ar- rears beyond this period by ordinary pro- cedure. The bill did not abolish the land- lord’s right of pre-emption. The scheme for fixing the judicial rents | proposed a term of thirty years’ duration, but this would be available every five | years on the application of either landlord or tenant. In regard to the purchase of lands, Mr. Balfour said that whereas the present time for the repayment of the sum | advanced for purchase extended over forty- nine years in continuous payments of 4 per cent, the present bill proposed to ex- tend the bill to seventy years. The Right Hon. John Morley, Chief Sec- retary for Ireland in the Liberal Govern- ment, said he was pleased with parts of the bill, chiefly those that had been adopted from the Liberal bill. He was disappointed with the other clauses, part of which were quite unworkable. John Dillon, leader of the anti-Parnell- ites, said Mr. Balfour’s speech proved that this Parliament was incapable of dealing with the question. The Irish would be greatly disappointed by the bill. The bill then passed its first reading. The second reading was fixed for April 27. N0 BEDUCTION IN TARIF General Managers of the West- ern Passenger Association Have Agreed. Every Theatrical and Permanent Traveling Party Must Pay Full Rates. CHICAGO, ILL.. April 13.—The general managers of the Western Passenger Asso- ciation railroads, after a long special meet- ing to-day, reached an agreement in rela- tion to party rates within the most im- portant part of their territory—accomplish- ing what the passenger agents failed in doing last week. They decided that after May 1 no reduction from the tariff rates should begiven to parties of any character, the party rate to be taken out entirely in the territory east of the Missouri River. This action puts the railroad officials squarely and legally before the Interstate Commerce Commission, but it also com- pels every theatrical and permanent tray- eling paruy to pay full rates. The managers decided to refer the matter of party rates in the territory west of the Missouri River to the special meeting of the Trans-Mis- souri Association, which was called to-day to be held in Denver next Thursday for various business. o LRI THROWN INTO A MINE HOLE. Andrew Munar Perishes From the Treat- ment Received at the Hands of Two Highwaymen, HAZLETON, Pa.. April 13.—Andrew Munar died at his home near Jeddo yes- terday morning and another shocking murder is added to the many committed in this region. Munar is the victim of highway robbery, and, as in previous cases here, there is no clew as to the identity of the assassins. Although the attack upon Mu nar occurred nearly a week ago the cir- cumstances were not made public until his death occurred. Last Mond ay night Munar was in Free- land and took the trolley as far as Japan station when going home. On the same car were two other men, unknown to the conductor. They also left the car at Japan. Munar was found the next morn- ing avthe bottom of a mine hole. He re- covered sufficiently to tell what happened to him, but could not identify his assas & - After leaving the car the two men re- mained behind him until crossing the flats, when they closed in upon him and demanded his money. Munar was-un- armed, but determined to fight. He was felled with a club, however, and kicked into submission. After the brigands hau taken his watch and cash they threw him in the hole. BARROOMS WERE CLOSED. But Plenty or Liguor Was Obtained in New York and Brooklyn. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 13.—The Raines law did not give New York a dry Sunday yesterday. Lt only reduced the number of places where liquor could be openly obtained to the city’s 500 hotels and added the price of & sandwich to the cost of a drink. It enabled the man who sat in a hotel cafe with an untouched mor- sel of bread before him to have the table covered with a dozen bottles, if he so de- sired. It prevented the man who ordered a six-course dinnerin a table d’note res- taurant from being served with any kind of liquor. x The whole question of Sunday prohibi- tion depended on whether the proprietor had ten bedrooms somewhere about his place of business or not. 4 rooms the necessary furniture had simply been thrown in and if any man applied for lodging in these subterfuge hotels he would be turned away. But of the city’s 7000 barrooms not one was open. The screens were thrown back and the bars pininly exposed to view from the street. No policemen stood guard at side doors. In Brooklyn all that the thirsty had to drink was obtained in the same manner. There were more evi- dences of drunken:iesson the streets there than in New York however. It isevident. however, tnat the open sesame to cold bottles in New York is the inoffensive sandwich. s LR WORE THE WIFE'S CLOAK. That Is Why Augusta Bartz Received a Charge of Shot Intended for Mrs. Boak. NEW HAMPTON, Iowa, April 13.—Mike Bartz, Mike Bartz Jr. and Augusta Bartz are lying at the point of death from gun- shot wounds inflicted by Herman Boak, who is a son-in-law of Bartz and is divorced from his wife. Bartz and his two children, who live southwest of the | city, were returning from church yester- day, the girl wearing a cloak that belonged to Mrs, Boak. Boak was concealed in the brush, and when they came opposite he emptied two barrels from a shotgun at them, both taking effect, Augusta receiv- ing the first charge in the side and the other one striking the boy and father. He came to town immediately after committing the crime and gave himself up to the Sheriff. He was under bonds to keep the peace for threatening to kill his wife. He mistook the girl for his wife. WCTINS OF AADHORSE Two Prominent Stock - Dealers Assailed and Fatally Trampled On. One Rushed to the Other’s Assistance and Both Met a Terrible Fate.
