HEARTLESS MURDER.
A Woman Accused Of the Murder OF
Her Husband.

A Woman Accused of the Murder OF
Her Husband.
MILWAUKEE, Oct 19.-The Sentinel's special
from Milton, Wis. gives the details of horri-
BILE murder there at l o'clock this morning.
Henry Christensen, who boarded with Ed
ward Fogarty, a tin peddler, confesses the fol
lowing: "Fogarty came home at 10 O'Clock
last night. He had been drinking, and Fogar-
ty insulted me and drew revolver and threat
ened to shoot me. l knocked him down and
took away the revolver and went. out doors.
Fogarty followed me, when l picked up an
axe and struck him two blows, killing him
instantly. I then carried him to clover
stack, set it on fire, and came back to the
house,
The crime was discovered this morning by
the finding of the body under the clover stack
half consumed trail of blood followed which
led to Fogarty's house, whereupon Christian
former confessed, but claimed the woman had
nothing to do with the affair."
No particular pains were taken to conceal
the crime, except to dig up the ground in front
of the door where the body had lain some
time, the burning of the wooden leg of the vic
tim in the stove, and the attempt TO burn the
body.
The opinion is that Christensen and the
woman conspired to get the husband out of the
way. When accused of the crime neither
manifested any uneasiness, but remained per-
fectly cool and collected. Christensen is
about 40 years of age and painter by occupa-
ton. The woman is described as being very
unprepossessing, and has two children, a boy
and girl. The prisoners were taken to James

A Business Boom From California

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1S.-There is less tom
mage in port than for several years past
Wheat has advanced tho past two days 10 cents
per GENITAL. The export demand is enormous,
but the farmers and exporters are unable to
reap the fruits of the foreign advance, owing
to the scarcity in tonnage. The disengaged
tonnage in port amounts to only 1888 tons,
and this is all confined to American Ships
the captains of which are holding off for higher
figures. This scarcity of tonnage will last 60
days. Shippers are telegraphing all over the
world for tonnage, and are chartering it thou
sands of miles away as fast as possible. This
unprecedented demand for ships has set a
great quantity of tonnage this way from Aus
fralia, New leland and Callao AZ vessels COM
ing from the latter port, generally from the
West Coast, and even from the other side.
The chartered wheat fleet in port numbers g.
744 tons, against "a ,279 at this time last year.

are lying in the stream loaded with wheat,
