Horrible Crime by a Railroad Employe in Missouri Town. —r MACON, Mo., June 5.—James Stacey, an engineer aged 51 years, living ten miles east of here on the Burlington road, to- day, in a fit of mental aberration, killed his wife and daughter, aged 18 years, and then, after relating the fact to a neighbor, shot himself to death. James, an eight- year-old son, was spared. The tragedy occurred early this morning when the vic- ims were asleep. Stacey, who for the past thirty years hae been a trusted engineer at the Clar- ence water tank, arose at 3 a. m., to go to work. It is known that he loved his family, but it seems that when he awoke this morning he was seized with an un- controllable impulse to commit the hor- rible deed. The wife was the first to suf- fer.

SAN JOSE, June 5.—The annual meet- ing of the California Cured Frult Asso- clation to-day was attended by about 800 prune growers, and these showed that they were unanimously for President Bond and his policy. They applauded his remarks and refused to allow any ad- verse criticilsm. This change of heart on the part of the growers was surprising, for a few months ago they bad nothing but condemnation for Bond and the direc- tors. The object of to-day’s meeting, the | | election of officers and changes in the by-laws, failed for lack of a quorum, and ar adjournment was taken until to-mor- | row afternoon.

There the father went next, and, picking up the boy, laid him on a cot in an adjoining room. Then, with the clock weight, the crazed man ended the life of his daughter. Shortly before daylight Mrs. Sophia Spitles, Stacey’s married daughter, who lived near by, ran over on some errand. Her father calmly told her what he had done and the frightened woman rushed to inform her husband, who immediately ran over to the Stacey home. Before he arrived he heard the report of a gun. Stacey was found ring on the porch with his head nearly b "n off by the contents of a heavily loaded tgun. He had placed the barrel in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his toes. The little boy. who was unharmed, is unable to give account of the tragedy. The father was addicted to no bad habits and had, i stated, amassed quite a fortune. wned sixty acres of fine land and had other property.

The report of President Bond was an exbaustive one, dealing in detail witn the | werkings of the organization. It gave the plan of the organization and the con- tract entered into with the Packers’ Com- | pany.

The matter of prices fixed was gone into and the trouble over the sale of 11,000,000 pounds to the Packers’ Company e plained. The receipts of fruit for the year in the various warehouses amount to 124,924,102 | pounds; total sales, 59,417,491 pounds, lea: ing on hand 65506611 pounds. The total receipts are $1,730,640 61. The expense, in- clucing salaries. advertising. taxes, etc.. | aggregates $93,229 23, which i$ more than half chargeable, he says, to the fruit on | hand, as it is for work done in respect to t. The report continues: The general result of the past vear's work has proved that it is entirely practical to do the business required to handle the entire crop of the State at one general office; that the sys- tem of keeping the records of the businesss is both practical and economical; that prices have been better by one-half than they would have | been had not the association existed; and the | | writer believes that the amount that has al- ready been paid in dividends is equal to what the members would have received for thelr en- tire crop had the former ruinous system of gen- | eral competition prevailed Should Undersell Outsidersa It was a mistake that the bax price was | made 3 cents instead of 2% or ; it was a mistake, s we now know, that when the out- side packer cut prices the association did not | promptly meet his cut and take the market, If | necessary, at a lower price. But the prime | reason why sales were not made at satisfac- | tory prices was the unprecdented crops of fruit }of ail kinas In this country and In Europe.

If this policy is pur- sued you will soon make It unprofitable for any grower to stay out of the assoclation, By judicious advertising of goods with the asocla- tion trademark I believe that a demand can be-created in a short time that will absorb all | the prunes raised in the State and that will be | | unafrected by the prices of the general market.

Coulter Opens. When Bond finished reading. the report | was recelved. Election officers were ap- | pointed and a recess taken until 1: o'clock. At the opening of the afternoon session Major W. A. Coulter precipitated ! | 2 hot Giscussion by asking a number of questions of President Bond, which tur ed out to be arguments against .the re- election of the president and board of di- rectors. He asked Judge Bond what he meant by arraigning all the growers in his report when he charged that they sold their prunes to outside packers. he was opposed to Bond’s administration. The meeting was thrown into excite- ment and there were cries of “Sit Down,” “Hurrah for Bond” and “Put him out.” President Bond then took the floor. He | accused Coulter of trying to wreek the | association and declared he had been | working to that end for months and had boasted that unless the association dis- | banded at this meeting he would take | steps that would put it out of existence. “In the first place, T did not arraign the | 8rowers for selling their prunes outside of the association,” he said. *“I said that there was a certain percentage of them who had sold their prunes outside of the association, and I made the statement on the information given me by the outside packers themselves. 1f outside packers bought all the prunes not pledged to the association they could have got only 22,.- 900,000 pounds. In fact, they got 50,000,000. This is sufficient answer as to where they got them.” Coulter tried to reply, but the audience hooted him down. The President then declared all discussion out of order and ordered that balloting be proceeded with. The count of the ballots showed 1659 votes cast, 181 short of the number, and an adjournment was taken until to-mor- row. From the expression of to-day’s meeting it is certain Bond and the old board of directors will be re-elected. The opposition ticket, headed by J. H.

Carson, a mining man of experience in Northern California and recently employed as su- perintendent of the Boulder mine in the Echo Lake district, has invented a pro- cess for the manufacture of steel. It consists of a carbon blowpipe, through the operation of which pigiron may be converted into steel as it leaves the cupola furnace. Mr. Carson has taken advantage of several chemical properties, a technical recital of which would only be wearlsome to the average mind, and by their operation has produced a plan for the manufacture of steel which is claimed to be far ahead of the Bessemer process. Mr. Carson has been several years in perfecting his invention. As soon as his patents were applied for he was ap. proached by a person whom he will not name, but whom he believes to represent the steel trust, and offered $600,000 for his rocess. The terms of the offer were that he would be given that immense sum_for absclute control of his patents, providin; they were issued and the process prove anything like what is claimed for it. To test the plan the agent offered to con- struct a plant near Chicago. The entire offer has been accepted by the inventor and he is now only awaiting the comple- tion of the plant to go back to Illinois and conduct the tests. New Style of Visiting Cards.

A great deal of credit for Volodyovski's victory is due to Huggins, the American trainer, who prac- tically made the horse. He took him as a two-year-old and trained him success- fully until he was a three-year-old.

In this case, however, that of Cal- vin Joy Creassey, of thé fourth class,.of California, the accused was tried by court-martial and regularly convicted. The statement in the case made public at the Navy Department is as follows: “The court-martial before which Naval Cadet Calvin Joy Creassey, fourth class, was tried June 3, convened by the super- intendent of the Naval Academy pursu- ant to the authority vested in him by the act of Congress approved June 23, 1875, having found the specification of the charge preferred against him proved, and that he was guilty of the charge, ‘viola- tion of the act of Congress approved on the 23d day of June, 1875, to prevent haz- ing at the Naval Academy,’ and said court having recommended that he be dismissed from the Naval Academy, which recommendation was approved by the superintendent, he was dismissed from the academy accordingly.” The details of the court-martial are not made public, but it is understood that the dismissed cadet was discovered in the act of hazing a junior in his room by com- pelling him to stand on his head. It was ected that the practice might spread rapidly, so drastic and speedy action was had as a deterrent. Suecnx’nbl“to‘l’.njui’le-.

As re- gards the publication in the church, there is no evidence that any one there under- stood the alleged libel as applying to the plaintiff, so that she could not recover damages upon this count, because she has shown no injury from it. “Taking the libel itself, I see nothing which can in any way be said to indicate the plaintiff in the first part of the libel.

Sensation Is Heaped on 'Sen- sation in the Political Strife. HONOLULU, May 28.—A stran tate of affairs, replete with sensation$¥that have deeply stirred Honolulu, has grown out of-the iInvestigations of the Grand Jury summoned by Circuit Judge Hum- phreys to investigate the charges of bribery in the Legislature. Last Satur- day three of the best known lawyers of Honolulu—General A. S. Hartwell, W. A. Kinney and S. M. Ballou—were sentenced to thirty days in jall for contempt of court by Judge Humphreys, but before they reached the prison all were released by pardon by Acting Governor Henry E. Cooper. The sentences were on account of an af- fidavit which the attorneys attempted to read and file in Humpreys’ court to show, on motion for a change of venue, the Judge’s alleged personal bias against Edi- tor Smith of the Avertiser, who was in- dicted by the Grand Jury for perjury. In the storm raised by these proceedings the Grand Jury’'s investigations of the bribery charges have been lost sight of, but the jury is 8till in session and is belleved to be getting close to some bribery cases. The affidavit, of which the introduction ‘was adjudged to be contempt, was sworn to by Smith and presented in court by Hartwell, Kinney and Ballou, Kinney readlng it to the Judge. It purported to relate facts showing the personal relations of Smith and the Judge and told of offers the latter made to Smith of a position as editor of the Honolulu Republican, in which Humphreys is a stockholder, which offers were rejected. ‘When the attorney reached a statement that the defendant's relations with the Judge had enabled him to become ac Quainted with his ‘“inordinate ambitions and his ‘“‘personal weaknesses,” the court interrupted the reading and ordered the three attorneys who offered the document to answer for contempt. After hearing their cases he ruled that the document had been filed for the purpose of bringing into the case extraneous matters, slan- derous and false and of a political nature, with a view to impeding and obstructing justice and bringing the court into con- tempt and he sentenced each of the at- torneys to thirty days in jail. Hartwell was formerly representative of the Hawaflan Government at Washington and is a veteran attorney of Hawall, and the others, with him, have long been prominent in island affairs. 5 Acting Governor Cooper’s pardons reeached the High Sheriff before the at- torneys had been placed in jail and they were released. Cooper’s act is denounced on the one hand as executive interference with the judiciary and as destructive of the power of the first Circuit Court to en- force its processes, and cn the other hand it is warmly commended as_releasing three highly respected lawyers from what is clatmed was an unreasonable sentence. Local gentiment runs high and the af- falr is generally regarded as a political row. The Star and the Advertiser bitter- 1y assail Judge Humphreys as a politician on the bench and denounce his sentence as having been the result of personal vindic- tiveness, while the Bulletin and the Re- publican as _vigorously defend his course and attack Cooper, declaring that his par- dons were for members of the “missionary ring.”” _The Advertiser says that the Grand Jury is packed for political ends and it has published an affidavit. signed by its business manager, A. W. Pearson, saying that Oscar Lewls, bailiff of Hum- phreys’ court, who is well known as a shipping_master in many Pacific Coast ports, offered to “pack’ a trial jury for the Smith perjury case in consideration of being assisted to get-a license for a water front saloon. This publication was fol- lowed by Humphreys calling for Lewls’ resignation as bailiff. The foundation for the reports of brib- ery in the Legislature has suddenly been revealed by Jacob Coerper, a man who wanted a railroad franchise and who is the client whose name L. A. Thurston refused to reveal to the Grand Jury. Thurston was under sentence for com- tempt for so refusing, but the statement of his client releases him. He was not confined, as the Supreme Court had issued a writ of habeas corpus and had not de- cided the case. Coerver swears that he was asked by three different members of the House to pay money for their efforts in | ‘behalf of his bill to secure a franchise for his railroad. He had been befre the Grand Jury and, it is stated, had told the jury the names of the three representatives who solicited bribes. and a report of the Grand Jury is awaited with much inter- X petition was circulated in Honolulu among lawyers to-day asking the removal of Judge Humprheys. It wascirculated by L. A. Thurston and received the signa- tures of most of the members of the local bar. To-morrow 2 meeting of the Ha- wallan Bar Association will be held and a resolution against Humphreys will be presented. It is expected that there will be a lively discussion. Expires on =a Train.

SALT LAKB CITY, June 5.—The wed- ding of Miss Emily Katz, formerly soclety editor of the Salt Lake Herald, and Gov- ernor Heber M. Wells of Utah took place this evening at the home of the bride's mother, 1328 East South Temple street, in the presence of about a hundred relatives and immediate friends of the bride and groom. The ceremony was performed by Bishop O. F. Whitney in accordance with the religious ritual of the Mormon church and was exceedingly !mpressive The ceremony took place in the reception room, which was filled with ferns and flowers, white marguerites. The Sago lily, the State flower of Utah, predomi- nated. The bride wore a gown of white bolting cloth over chiffon and taffeta, trimmed in bands of white taffeta. . The vell was fastened with a large crescent of pearls and diamonds, the gift of the groom. She carried a bouquet of bride’s roses. The bride was given away by her brother, A. Katz, Miss Josephine Kata acting as bridesmald. = Gens Charles S. Burton of the Governor's staff acted as best man. The ceremony, which took place at 7 o'clcck, was followed by a reception. The big lawn of the Katz residence was led up with canvas and lighted by scores of incandescent lights and here and in the flower-bedecked house the Governor and his bride received congratulations until 11:30 p. m., when they took a special train for Ogden.

Bain was arrested at Hutchinson, Kans., on information filed by the Elmore & Cooper Company of Kansas City, who charge firregularity in connection with a cattle deal. Among his personal property held by the Hutchinson police after his arrest are said to be several telegrams of a sensational nature, purporting to be from Harding to Bain. Bain is said to have first admitted that he had been em- ployed at St. Joseph by Harding, but later denied this. He was also quoted as saying that he knew of Harding’s present whereabouts and that he would make it known at the proper time. Harding's' disappearance two months ago has never been cleared up. In a lef ter left by the banker at the time he a cused Bain, who had acted as his coach- man, of sustaining Improper relations with Mrs. Harding.

The river was open from the headwaters of the Yukon to a point below Dawson and several steamers had arrived at Wkite Horse. Many of the Dolphin's pas- sengers were from Dawson. having made the trip up from the Klondike capital on the first boats. Owing to heavy snowfail on the hills the miners expected a good head of water for sluicing purposes and were accordingly happy. The prospects for an enormous clean-up were bright. Former figures of $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 hola good. From Forty Mile comes news of new discoveries on creeks which heretofora bave been considered of little or no value. With the opening of navigation on the Yukon an unprecedented rush of business commenced. The Yukon steamship com- panies have prepared for the busiest sea- | sen .yet experienced. Thousands and thousands of tons of freight had been piled up at White Horse awaiting the breaking up of the ice and this has been started in a steady stream to lower points on the river.
