Last night about s O'Clock an alterca-
ton occurred in wm. Smiths store, in
this place, between John s, Miller, a
farmer who lives just outside ottown, and
Professor W. J. Kenny, Principal Of the
High School in this place, in which Mr.,
Kenny was seriously stabbed with a knife
In the hands OF Mr.. Miller. He was cut
on the left breast, the knife-blade pene.
trating about two inches, within an inch
OF his heart. The heavy clothing he had
on at the time prevented the instant death
OF Mr.. Kenny, l:.t ..la..!t,.l..Lt.s.
The circumstances are about as follows:
Mr.. Miller has a daughter going to this
school, q young woman, and day or two
ago she was being examined in the gram
mar class, and, she not parsing q sentence
as promptly as the Principal thought she
ought to, he upbraided her in q public
manner In somewhat harsh terms, which
wounded her sensitive feelings, and she
went home and staid away from school.
When her father desired to know the rea.
SON for her not going to school, she told
him the facts as above stated, When the
father addressed note to the Principal de-
manding an apology, no attention was
| paid to the note, but when they met the
matter was brought up, and angry words
ensuing, resulting as above stated.
The physicians attending the wounded
man say the wound Is q. severe one and
may prove fatal, The parties both stand
high in this community and move in the
best circles. A warrant was issued for The
arrest OF Miller this morning, and he wa!
taken into custody and released on 81 ,00C
bonds to appear at the Magistrates Cour
on Monday, when he will have his pre-
liminary examination.

details the state OF affairs found to exist
there, and in its disclosures OF crowding,

all considerations for the preservation oi

startling than expected. The report closed
with recommendation that Chinatown
be condemned as a nuisance, and calls
upon the proper authorities to take the
necessary steps for its abatement without
delay. The report was unanimously
adopted, and it isexpected that immediate
action will be taken TO carry out the views

PROPOSED PENSION LAW CHANGES.


Representative Updegraf, Of Ohio, has
prepared a bill making important changes
in the pension laws. The pension now
paid for the loss of one eye is but four
dollars monthly. Updegraff's bill increas'
es 1t to. twelve dollars. For the loss of one
eye, the sight OF the other having been
previously lost, this bill raises the pension
from fifty dollars per month to seventy
two dollars, the same as in cases in which
both eyes were lost in the service, as the
result Is the same-total blindness. For
total deafness this bill raises from thirteen
dollars to twenty-five dollars per month
and any loss OF hearing less than tota
deafness in one or both ears an equitable
proportion OF the full pension.

The Death of Young Dillingham;.

Dillingham;, the murderer, died this morn
ing from the effects of pistol shot wound
in his head, made Immediately after kill
ing his aunt. He was arraigned for the
crime yesterday, when he pleaded not
guilty, after which his mental condition
began to be greatly disturbed, and he
seemed to realize the enOrmity Of the
crime, and after being taken to his cell,
he exhibited great excitement and agony
of mind. The prisoner made no contes-
sion before he died. Had the case come
to trial, however, it would have been
shown that the prisoner first shot Mrs.
Dillingham; from behind, while she was
sitting in chair, with the pistol close to
her head then tied a rope around her
neck to stop her groans and outcries, at
ter he had been unable to do so BY strk-
ing her with a hammer upon the head.
