Suit of a Husband tor Half of the For- tune of H.s Wiie, Who Is Seek- ing Divorce. NORTHAMPTON. Mass, June 10.— Mrs. M:ron P. Walker, daughter of the late Judge E. C. Crocker, is defendant in a suit filed by her husband, Colonel Walker, in which the latter claims half of her fortune. The suit broughttby her for divorce last year will soon come to trial in the county court here, and itis this effort of hers to secure a legal scpara- tion that has inspired the husband’s counter action. The husbana ciaims his wife deserted him. He has put in evi- dence a batch of effusive love letters she wrote to him prior to their marriage, in which she declared she would share her property with him. He asks the court to interpret this as an ante-nuptial contract. The suit w1l probably not be heard before October. Mrs. Walker was formerly Mrs, Charles Schudder. ATTACKED WITH A BLACKJACK.

When the Pastor Died Hlis Assall- ant Fled, Pursued by Indlan Territory Officers. WICHITA, Kaxs, June 19.—The Bap- tist denomination of the Indian Territory is greatly stirred up over the sensational killing of Rev. T. T. Evans, the pastor of the Bapust Courch at Emet, L T., wkich occurred to-aay. Aside from its criminal | features, the case is also notable from the fact that the preacher met his death by a blow from his antagonist’s fist. Rev. Mr. Evans combined farming with his ministerial labor, having religions scruples against receiving pav for his min- istrations, and employed El.sha Brad- burn, one of his deacons, to assist him for a share of the crop. Bradburn is a large man of powerful physique, while the preacher is below medium size. Lately thers has been a misunderstanding between the two with regard to the terms of the contract be- tween them, which was only a verbal one. They discussed it frequently, but could not agree, and in the meantime the wheat crop, wnich is immense, was ready to barvest, This morning they met for a final set- tlement of the ques:ion and their conver- sation soon developed into a heated argu- ment. There were ang:y words and then the lie was passed. At this juncture Bradburn, unable to control him:e f, sorang at Rev. Evansand planted a terrific blow with his fist on the latter’s neck. Evans fell to the ground heavily, struggled and gasped for a few moments, and then tbe muscles relaxed. Deacon Bradburn, horrified, bent over the prostrate pastor, hoping to discover a | spark of life, but he wasdead. Itis be- lieved that the knockout blow ruptured an artery and the minister bled to death internaily. Bradburn fled the country. The Sueriff is after him, and his capture is almost assured. ' There is a strong feel- ing against him, but many, as a mitigating circumstance, ceclare that the pastor was a very high-tempored man. HANNA’S 516 AL VICTORY. Foraker’s Forcss Kow «d at the Cuyahoga Cownty Comrention. CLEVELAND, Osio, June 19.—Though the returns at the primaries showel that the Hanna men wou!d control the Re- publican county convention, the Foraker force:, represented by Mayor McKisson bozsted before the cor.vention met to-day that they would be in charge. The fight was precivitaied oy the nom- inations of F. L. Tafi, a_McKisson man, and Judge Francis J. Wing, a Haana man, for permanent chairman. The ballot resuited in the overwhelming victory of Wing and the convention after was clearly in the control of Hanna. A resolution was adepted indorsing Hanna for re- election 1o the United States Senate. Then the convention s tuled down to elect seventy-six delegates to the State con- { vention. — - HOMING PIGEON LXPERIMENTS. Long Distance Tests Calowlated to Break AUl Hecords.

FLEX, HEMP AND JUTE DISPOSED OF The Finance Committee Meets With Three Reverses. Paragraphs Rejected by the Votes of the Silver Senators. Wool and Woolen Manufactures of the Tariff Schedule Next in Order. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19.—Ten pages of the tariff bill, comprising tbe whole of the flax, hemp and jute sched- ule, were disposed of in the Senate to-day. The next schedule is woul and woolen manafactures, consideration of which wili begin on Monday. The most interesting feature of to-day's proceedings was the fact that for the first time since the bill has been before the Senate the Finance Committee was voted down, not once only but three times. A motion by Vest to strike out paragraph 330, relating to floor mattings, was carried by 25 to A like motion ty P ttus to strike out para- graphs 341 and 342, relating to jute bags and bagging for cotton, was ca-ried by 31 t028 and one by Jones of Arkansasto strike out paragraph 339, relating to jute fabrics, was carried by 29 to 28, On most every rolicall the four silverite Senators—Mantle, Pettigrew, Stewartand Teller—voted with the Democrats, as did also Butler (Pop.) and Kyle (Ind.). The tariff bill was taken up immediately after the Senate miet, the pending ques tion Leing on the amend.nent offered yes- terday by Allison to paragraph 327, creasing the duty on threads, twines or cords of flax or hemp from 12 to 14 cents per pound. Adopted. House paragraph 328 was struck out and a paragraph substituted making the duty on single yarns in gray 6 cents a pound, and on finer qualities 40 and 15per cent ad valorem. Paragraph 330, placing compound rates benefit ¢f the linoleum trust, which was not an infant industry, having been run- ning seventy years. Vest moved to strike out the matting paragraph, and it was agreed to—25 to 22, This was the first deleat the Finance Committee has encountered. The Repub- licans who voted with the Democrsts to strike out were Carter, Hansbrough, Pet- tigrew and Mantle, and Teller (Silver Re- publican) also voted aye, The Finance Committee’s amendments to paragraphs 331, 332 and 333 were agreed to. Jones moved to strike out parsgraph 334, as to floorcloths, and to insert a cor- responding paragraph of the present law. Pettigrew favored the motion and com- mented with much bitierness on the ‘“‘enormous protection given all articles controlied by ths: trusts.” He did not know whether this was in recognition of contributions made by trusts in the last campaign or in expectancy of future con- tributions, “There could be no defense,” he said, “for such excessive, outrageous plundering rates on articles controlled absolutely by trusts,’’ and it was only under the pres- sure of an ‘‘ironciad caucus agreement” that Republicans were induced to vote for them Jones’ mo'ion was defeated by 22 to 27 and the paragraph was agreed to. Pettus moved to strike out paragraphs 341 and 342, relating to jute bags, which are now on the free list. White favored the motion and argued that the putting of such articies on the free list was the only way in which the tariff bill could benefit the farmers, the duty on agricultural products being abso- lutely absurd. Perkins opposed the motion on the ground that if American manufacture of jute bags werediscontinued farmers would be entirely at the merey of the gresi bag- manufacturing companies of Calcutta and Bombay. The jute bags used by the farm- ers of California were made, he said, by convicts. Pettus appealed to the Republican side for that one *‘modicum of justice 1o farm- ers.” Tillman inquired whether convicts were the American workmen who were to be vrotected by the tariff bill, and Stewart of Nevada indulged in some reminis- cences of the ‘‘crime of 1873, declaring that while he lived he would protest against the record then made by the Re- publican party. A vote was then taken and the motion to strike out the two paragraphs agreed to—ayes 31, noes 28. This was the second defeat for the Finance Committee. tie, Peitigrew, Stewart, Teller (Silverite), Butler (Pop.), and Kyle (Ind.) voted with the Lemo- crats. Jones of Arkansas moved to strike out paragraph 399 (plain woven fubrics of sinzle jute yarns) and the motion was agieed to—ayes 29, noes 28. This third defeat of the Finance Committee seemed to produce a depressing influence on the Repubiican side. The committee substitute for paragraph 244 and committee amenamesnts to 345 were agreed to. Thbat closed schedule J and brought the Lill to schedule K— woolens. Allison agreed that this was good place 10 stop, and after a short execu- tive ses:ion the Senate adjourned.

FURY OF THE LIGHTNING. Sensational Incident During the Sweep of the Storm. 10WA CITY, Iowa, June 19 —The li- brary building ot the Iowa State Uni- versity was struck by lightning this morning and destroyed by fire.

The loss is $100,000, Of this $50,000 was in apparatus belong- | ing to the physical laboratory and $33,600 onthe library. The library was the best in the State. Many of the books are out of print and cannot be replaced. The Talbot collection of 4500 volumes was | about two-thirds destroyed. This collec- tion was exceedinzly valuable, many | books dating from the beginning of the | sixteenth century. | The firemen with difficulty prevented | the fismes from speading to tue Dental | building close by.
