chares are so protected "that no hus-
band af aay mt my daughters may

Henry "M. Stanley has been for years a
well knows figure in literary and artist-
ic circles of London. She is a contrib-
ntor to the academy and other picturo
exhibitions. She is not by any means a
yoeng woatan but is in every way fine
looking with a strikingly intellectual
faeev filled with what is called English
color as the result of her continuous
entdoer exercise and constant occupa-
tion. She walks a gmat deal rides well
and has a fine supple figure unham-
pered by the conventional corset or

llrraoro the Russian iliniKtcr to Bu-
charest has been summoned to St. Pe-
tersbnrg to receive the censuro of his
Government for the bungling manner
in which he managed the Panitza con-
spiracy against the life of Prince Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria. TVhen tho plot was
discovered M. Ilitroro was openly ac-
cused of having instigated it and the ac-
casat&msas never been refuted. The
ostensible reason for his recall is to
enable him to exculpate himself from
tho charge ot complicity but beyond
doubt so a dispatch states tho real
reason is that he is to bo disciplined for
failing to carry the conspiracy to a suc-
cessful issue.

UNCLE TOM'S CRIME.
Doable Murder Br a Member of the Salva-
tion Arror Near Sedalla.
Sedvlia Mo. May 27. Seldom has
this community and tho wholo surround-
ind country been thrown into snch a
state of excitement as was felt hers by
tho discovery of the murdered remains
of Jeff Moore a farmer aged flf ty-nlno
years and later in the day the finding
of the body of his son Charles aged
twenty-nine also cruelly murdered in
a field near his father's house.
Both had had their brains knocked
out with an axe in the hands of Thomas
Williamson better known as "Uncle
Tom a member ot the local branch of
tho Salvation Army. The son was mur-
dered ten days ago and his body buried
In his father's field three miles south
of this city. Tho father was killed last
Friday and the body buried In the cel-
lar of his residence where he with his
son lived alone.
Nothing was suspected when tho son
disappeared but when old man Moore
failed to perform his accustomed duties
the neighbors set on foot an investiga-
tion that brought about the terrible
disclosures.
Last evening tho murderer confessed
and said that he was hired to commit
the crime for 5300 but his story is aot
credited. Halt a dozenofficers aro work-
ing on the caso and tho mystery will be
cleared up to-day.
It is now believed that Williamson
killed his wife who died mysteriously a
year or so ago.
Early in the evening there was talk
of lynching but tho excitement is melt-
Ling down and no trouble Is now looked
for.
Moore's farm is about two and a half
miles southeast of this city and tho dis-
covery of tho murdered man's body was
made yesterday morning by neighbors.
Tho remains wero found buried in tho
cellar of his house. A few hours later
while making a search of the surround-
ing country tho body of Charley was
found in a clump ot bushes in a field
close to the house.
Tho strangest one of tho day's start-
ling events occurred in this city yester-
day morning at ten o'clock when Will-
iamson attempted su'eido In S'.cher's
park by taking strychnine Ho was
taken to the Salvation Army barracks
and medical aid summoned and ho will
probably recover. When quest.oned
about his attempt to commit suicide ho
said he was tired of ot living and wanted
to meet his God.
At that timo nothing was known of
the tcrriblo double murder on Moore's
farm nor was much known of William-
son nor. Indeed much attention given
his caso beyond the apparent fact that
ho was unfortunate and of unsound
mind.
Three hours afterward at one o'clock
while Williamson was still unconscious.
Albcstus Paxton a farmer living two
and a half miles southeast reported to
Marshal Prentice that tho dead body of
Jeff Moore had been found buried in the
cellar under his (Moore's) bouse and that
Thomas Williamson a farm hand was
suspected of the murder. Pixton was
taken to tho Salvation Army room and
recognized the attempted suicido as the
man suspected.
The story that Paxton told was stb-
stantially this: About a week ago
August Brenicke a neighbor sold Jeff
Moore somo rails and Mooro began to
haul them at once promising to pay for
them soon. Brenicke went to Moore's
Thursday morning after the money
when Moore told him he would pay tho
next day. Brenicke returned Friday
morning but Mooro was not to bo
found. Williamson whenasked about
Moore's whereabouts said he did not
know where ho was. Williamson was
seen hauling dirt to Moore's houso Sat-
urday morning and this aroused the
suspicions ot the neighboring farmers
and yesterday morning they began
searching for Moore and his body was
found buried in tho cellar.
The neighbors continued tho search
for Charles who had been missing
nearly two weeks. Mr. Paxton started
for town to notify the authorities and
also to start a search for the man Wil-
liamson suspected of tho murder and
little dreaming that ho would find tho
old man lying at the point of death
himself.
Williamson hid been employed by the
Moores more than two months. Almost
every night of that time he had been
coming to town and attending the Sal-
vation Army mcetirgs. Tho captain of
tho army says that he often noticed that
llliamson appeared to be crazy.
Williamson is about sixty years old
and of his antecedents nothing is known.
Three Men Killed.
Laredo. Tex. May 27. During a

ier to Hand Over S31.000 Arrested and
Identified at St. Louis.
St. Lons May 20. Mansfield King
tho self-confessed murderer horse thief
and all around criminal in jail at the
county scat of St Louis County has
been identified as Wells the Denver
bank robber who compelled President
Moflatt of tho First National Bank ot
Denver to hand over 521000 in cash in
March ISS9 at tho point of a revolver.
IL C Otis the assistant cashier of tho
bank who was in tho bank at the time
the bold act was committed arrived in
this city a few days ago and went to
Clayton wero King was lying at tho
point of death. Until Saturday night
King wore a full beard and long
hair. When ho committed the robbery
ho had only a small mustache and for
that reason Otis failed to identify him
the first timo he saw him. Last night
however a barber was called in and
King's beard shaved off and his haircut
and CashierOtis Immediately recognized
him as Wells the robber.
King was arrested some days ago for
horso stealing by tho sheriff ot St. Louis
County and placed in jail at Clayton.
After his arrest ho was taken very sick
became communicative and confessed
to being tho author of several crimes.
ono of which was the robbery of rresi-I
dent Moffatt

and told Mr. Moffatt that there was a
scheme on foot to rob the bank which
ho was willing to give away for a con-
sideration. Mr. Moffatt talked with him
and told him to come back in a day or
two. The next morning he went into
Mr. Moffatts private offico and drawing
a revolver said to him: "Mr. Moffatt I
am a desperate man. I must have
money. Write a check for 521000 and
take it over to the teller draw tho
money and come back here. If you
make the least resistance or cry for help
I'll shoot you dead.' The rebber held

EIGHT DROWNED.
ratal Accident to a l'mrty of Massachusetts
llcasare Seekers.
Faee River Mass. May 20. At
Watuppa lako about 12:15 occk yes-
terday afternoon a party of twelve per-
sons comprising Samuel Wittlcs and
wife Henry Samuel Jr. and Willie
Wittlcs; Lavina. John. Willie and Fred-
erick Buckley Edwin and Willio Turner
and George Hammer hired a boat and
went rowing. There was a strong wind
blowing and the water was rough.
The boat into which tho party cm-
barked was a common thirteen-foot flat
bottomed one and the scatiug capacity
was eight. Tho pleasure seekers finally
wero seen trying to work their way to-
ward shore just north ot the pumping
station. This was difficult work as the
water was rough tho wind strong and
the rowers inexperienced.
When tho boat load of pleasure seek-
ers was within twenty feet of tho shore
ono of tho children rocked the boat.
The men cautioned the child to remain
quiet but it was unmindful ot this ad-1
vice and suddenly tho boat capsized.
Heartrending cries wero heard by Fire-
man Bullock ot tho pumping station
and James Lafferty but they were un-
able to render assistance.
Edwin Turner was tho only one in the
party who could swim wclL Ho grasped
John Buckley by the waist and although
Ituckley was a heavy man ho succeeded
in bringing him ashore.
In tho meantime the women were
struggling in tho water. TLree or four
parties on shore told them to cling to
the boat but their falling strength was
unequal to tho task and women and
children sank out of sight. Two ot the
others had struck out for the shore and
succeeded in reaching it in an exhausted
condition.
Tho following wero drowned their
bodies being recovered later: Samuel
Wittlcs aged 50; Mrs. Wittlcs aged 45;
Henry Wittlcs aged 10; Samuel Wittles
Jr. aged 12; Lavina Buckley aged 35;
Fred Buckley aged 3; Willio Buckley
aged S; Willie Turner aged 0.

BAD WRECK.
An Alton rascnjrer Train Struck By a
Freight Near Kansas CHr Marvelous Es-
cape of Paenccrs.
Kasas Crrv Mo. May 23. The Chi-
cago fc Alton limited passenger train
was wrecked at tho Missouri Pacifio
crossing a half mile northeast of Shef-
field. The wreck was caused by a col-
lision with tho engine ot a Missouri Pa-
cific freight train.
Tho freight train southward bound
stopped before reaching It then started
again tne engineer having the right of
way.
Eye witnesses to the disaster said
that when the Chicago & Alton crossed
tbo BIuo bridgo it was running at tho
rate of forty miles an hoar and made no
effort to stop but dashed through at
full speed. The rate must havo been
tremendous as the entire long train was
carried past except the Pullmans the
second one from the rear being struck
about the middle by tho freight and al-
most demolished.
Three Pullman cars left tho track
rolled down tho embankment about ten
feet smashing tho cars and furniture.
They were pulled over on the side until
all tho cars were clear of the other
track. The track was badly torn up and
tho freight engine was a perfect wreck.
Engineer n C Welch of tho freight
train and his fireman when they stw a
collision was Inevitable jumped there-
by saving their lives ai the cab was
completely wrecked and in Rcch a
manner that no one could havo been in
it and lived.
The front end ot tho boiler was broken
in the boiler knocked off the trucks
tho cab totally wrecked and the axles
sprung.
Tbo Pullmans wero bottom side and
so badly smashed as to be useless. Al-
most 103 peoplo wero in them but not
one was killed or even dangerously in-
jured. The most badly Injured were: Mrs.

D E J ECTED EMPLOY ES.
Santa Fe Railroad Clerks Find Their "Sar-
I InV on the Wronc; Side.
Kansas Citt. Ma May 21 Tho em-
ployes of tho general offices of tho Santa
FoatTopcka are !n any thing but a
happy state- On January 1 last there
having been no Increases in pay of em-
ployes for somo years some twonty-fivo
to thirty of all tho employes received
an advance. This increased salary was
paid them for tho months of January
February and March. But in April
camo an order from President Manvel
thav. tho pay rolls bo restored to the
amounts paid prior to January 1 and
that the overpay received by employes
during the first three months o' tho year
be deducted from their April s-tlaries As
a consequence tho employes at Topeka
aro in very hard lines and aro In any
thing but a pleasant state of mind to
ward the management ot the road.
How the order works Is shown in tho
case of sovcral employes in tho passen-
ger department who had been receiv
ing 530 a month. January 1 their pay
was increased to 543. Tho order com-
pels them to rcstoro tho 545 surplusago
received out of a salary reduced to 510 a
month. In other words they receive
nothing for the work they did in April
and will get only 515 for tho toil of tho
present month. Very naturally they
consider tho order as an outrage.
A TRUSTED EMPLOYE.
A Kansas City Confidential Clerk Kobs Bis
Kmplojer of 9:0000 and Skins.
Kansas City Ma May 23. Ono more
trusted employe has joined tho legion
af fugitive defaulters and outraged the
confidence reposed In him by stealing
thousands of dollars of his employer's
money. This timo It Is Elzo Allen late
confidential clerk for tho Austin Com-
pany an English Investment corporation
with offices in the Security building at
Sixth and Wyandotte streets and the
amount is S'0000. Although tbc em-
bezzlement was perpetrated on Monday
May 12 it was not until tho following
Thursday May 15 that the discovery was
made so that Allen had three entire
Hays In which to put a wholesome dls-
jnce between himself aud pursuit The
steal was mo-t carefully and deliber-
ately planned and was executed with a
consummate finish Tho only thing
that causes wonderment asido from tbo
sklllfulness of the robbery itself was
that Allen did not take 510.000 Instead
of 520000 for he could have obtained
tho larger sum just as easily as the
smaller. By considerable maneuvering
he succeeded In having tho money
placed on deposit subject to his check.
Tho rest was easy. It is 5aid he went
away with a woman. His wife and
child are destitute. Ho camo from
Kansas three years aga

TARIFF BILL PASSED.
Vproa rand Confusion la the Hcase oa tho
Last Dav of Debate on the Tartar MM
Fasaaco or the BUI.
Washington May 22. The scene ia
tho Houso ynsterday was a confusing
if not exciting one. The object of mem-
bers onboth sides seemed to be to out-
vie each other In creating a noise.
When the House went into committee
on the Tariff bill Mr. Baker of New
York offered an amendment providing
that all articles on importation into the
United States whether embraced in the
free list or otherwise shaU pay no less a
rate ot duty than may be imposed by the
country ot export en like articles ex-
ported from the United States
Mr. Anderson of Kansas opposed the
amendment on the ground that it would
placo it in tho power of the Canadian
Government to regulate the tariff of the
United States.
Mr. Butterworth of Ohio opposed the
amendment and said it would wreck the
interchange of commodities between the
United States and every other country
and would work a great hardship upon
tho people. He regretted that there was
no opportunity to ascertain the consen-
sus of opinion on his ownstb. f the
House touching the biiL Democratic
applause The Committee of the
Whole had proceeded along the lines
of tho bill for a number of days
and then the gentlemen on the
Committee on Ways and Means had
taken the floor and held it with amend-
ments until nearly the last hour so that
amendments which other gentlemen
might desire to submit could not havo
the consideration which was necessary
to determine what the concensus of
opinion was. It was not fixed that the
ark of tho Republican covenant was
committed to a few and he regretted
that there had not been that conference
which would cnablo members to prune
tho bill.
Mr. Wheeler of Alabama appealed to
tho House in these closing moments to
adopt the amendment proposed by him
to gradually reduco duties which wero
in excess of 50 per cent. Ho said the
increase of 100 per cent In the tax on
hops would be serious injury to a large
class ot industrious and Intelligent Ger-
man population.
During this brief discussion tho nouse
was in a turmoiL The demands of tho
chair for order were unheeded.
In tho midst ot the confusion the hour
of noon arrived and (in accordance with
tho special rulo adopted and without a
vote being reached on Mr. Baker's
amendment) tho committee aroso and
reported the bill to the House.
Mr. McKinley demanded the previous
question on tho bill and amendments
The Democrats demanded the yeas and
nays and the previous question was or-
! dcrtd yeas 101 nays 141 Mr. Cole
man ot Louisiana and Fcatherstone ot
Arkansas voted with tho Democrats
and Mr. Adams of Illinois and Mr. But-
terworth declined to vote.
. The amendments were then read in
detail. Tho first amendment on which a
separate vote was demanded was ens
changing tho phraseology ot tho tin-
plate clause. It was adopted by the
narrow margin of 150 to 149.
Tho next vote was equally close bnt
this time the Democrats were victorious
the amendment fixing the duty of jute
yarn at 35 per cent being defeated
yeas 143; nays 144.
The amendment providing that the
duty on woolen and worsted yarns
valued at not moro than 30 cents per
pound should be six and one-half times
tho duty imposed on a pound of un
washed wool of the first class and 35
per cent ad valorem was rejected yeas
137. nays 143. The blU now fixes the
duty at twice the duty of the unwashed
wool of the first class and 35 per cent
ad valorem.
Tho Republicans who voted with the
Democrats on tho wool and worsted
goods and yarn amendments were: An-
derson of Kansas Comstock Dolllver
Dunnell. Fcatherstone Flick Hender-
son of Iowa Kerr ot Iowa Lacey Lind
Struble Sweney and Taylor of Illinois
The amendment providing that on
woolen and worsted goods and all man-
ufacturers of wool and worsted cat
otherwiso prov.ded for valued at not
more than thirty cents a pound there
shall bo imposed a duty of three times
the duty imposed on a pound of un-
washed wool ot the first class and ot 40
per cer ad valorem was rejected yeas
143 na .-s 148. This leaves the duty at
twice jc duty on unwashed wool and 40
per cent ad valorem.
Tho amendment to tho paragraph im-
posing a duty ot 50 per cent ad valorem
on all mart-tfactures of silk not especial-
ly provided for. providing that all such
manufactures or which rool or hair of
the camel goat or other liko animals
was a component material should be
classified as manufactures of wool rvas
agreed to yeas 155 nays 141
The vinegar amendment adopted in
Committee of the Whole was agreed to
yeas 164 r-vs 13S.
This was the last amendment and the
engrossment and third reading of the
bill having been ordered Mr. Carlisle
of Kentucky offered the following
amendment:
nesolved. That the pending; bill be recom-
mitted to the Committee on Ways aad Means
with infractions to report the same back to
the Uoa at the earliest possible day so
amended by snbtitnte or otherwIe as to re-
duce the revenues of the Government by re-
dnclns the burdens of taxation on the people
Instead of rednclns; the duties by Itnposfns;
prohibitory rates of taxation upon Imported
iroods.
Tho resolution was defeated yeas
140; nays 100 and the bill then passed
by a vote of 164 yeas to 142 nays Messrs

ADVERSE TO KEMMLER.
The Supreme Court of the United Bimtt Xe-
roses to interfere la tke Marderer's
Favor.
Washington May 21. The Supreaw
Court of the United States yesterday
denied tho application for a writ of
error in the case of Kemmler under
sentence of death by electricity. Tho
opinion was by Chief Justice Fuller.
The opinion first recites the proceed-
ings In the lower courts leading np to
the bringing of tho caso to this court
and says that it Is urged In Kcmmlcrs
behalf taat the Fourteenth amendment
is a prohibition on tho Stats of im-
position ot cruol and unusual punish-
ment this being included is the
term "due process of law. The origin
ot the phraso "cruel and unusual pun-
ishment was in the English act of set-
tlement in 1CGG and meant what barba.
ous methods of punishment should not
bo inflicted. It meant that a man
shonld not be sentenced to death by
torture but did not mean that the death
penalty itself was crueL The Court ot
Appeals held that tho punishment in-
flicted on Kemmler -vas unusual but
that there was no evUcnce to show that
It was cruel. The Legislature of New
York had tho tacts bearing upon this
question and the court must presume
that the Legislature had devised a
punishment it thought less cruol than
the former mode. That decision was
not against any special privilege set up
by the prisoner and was so plainly right
that the co urt would not be justified la
overruling it The Fourteenth amend-
ment did not materially chango tho
whole theory ot the Government. Citi-
zens still remain citizens both ot the
State and of the United States. The
only change in that amendment fur-
nished an additional guarantee against
encroachment by the State upon the
f undamcndal rights ot tho citizens. Tbo
privileges and immunities of citizens ot
the United States are protected by
them. Those arc the privileges arising
out ot the essential nature and charac-
ter of tho National Government
The Court quotes tho opinion in the
Hurtado caso on tho meaning of the
phrase due process of law. Tho change
in form ot death was within tho legiti-
mate sphere of the legislative power of
the State. The Legislature of tho State
ot New York determined that it did not
inflict cruel and unusual punishment
and Its courts havo sustained that determination-
This court can not seo
that tho prisoner has been deprived of
dne process ef law. In order to reverso
the judgment this court should be com-
pelled to hold that tho Court ot Appeals
had committed an error so gross as to
deprive the prisoneroLhls constitutional
rights The Court has no hesitation in
believing it can not do this.

An Important Folnt.
Jacksonville Fla. May 24. A mo-
tion was made in the U lited States
Court by the counsel for Gregg defend-
ant in the Marion County election
frauds case to quash the Indictment on
the ground that the adjourned term of
the court from the regular term in De-
cember did not have any legal status
and that therefore its action was null
and void. Without specifically sustain-
ing or denying the mot'on Judge
S wayne said that the point was a very
important one. and that ho would re-
serve his ruling thereon until a circuit
judge should sit with him on the bench
next December.

Minneapolis Minn.. May 24. The
Northwestern Miller says: 'Three or
four of tho middle class ot mills los.t
moro or less time last week and tho

129.740 barrels against 136.450 barrels
for tho week before and 111700 barrels
tor the same time in 1SS0 and 170300
barrels In 1SS3. Business during the
week has been distressingly light and
there is a disposition to reduce the pres-
ent catput. The mills during the past
week hive sold much less flour than wa
