r,.,a,.h Murder I'm wisconsin.

BEIorr, October 25.-A murder OF the
most fiendish character was committed late
on Saturday night at a place called Stew
arts Hollow, near Plymouth, Wis. Spencer
Turner and Charles Stewart, cousins, aged
about 35, had been on spree together'
although there had been bitter enmity be-
tween the men over some family trouble
for years. Some time in the evening, when
Stewart had beguiled Turner into his
fathers house, the old quarrel was renewed,
and led TO blows. Stewart seized poker
and dealt Turner several heavy blows about
the head, stretching him insensible upon
the floor. Then in his rage he saturated
the prostrate form with kerosene oil and
set the clothing on fire. Realizing that he
was endangering the house, Stewart dragged
the blazing body out of doors and threw 1t
on the ground. Some time afterward 1t
was discovered smoking and smouldering
by passer.by. Help was called, and the
vet living man was taken to house near
by and medical aid summoned. Turner 8
Injuries were, however, fatal, and he died
at noon on Sunday in terrible agony. The
murderer is now in Jail.

PARKERsBURG. October 25.-The examina-
tion of Lolla Evans, the negro who was ar
rested on charge of committing rape on
the person of an eight-year.oid chlld, Iase
the REefsrER OF the 22nd inst, took place
before Justice Butcher on Monday. The
State was represented by ]. g. McLear,
practicipg attorney of Wood county, and
+, Heber Smith, Esq, and the prisoner was
represented by L. n. Tavenner, Esq. The
casa attracted a considerable number OF
spectators, and it was quite evident that the
feeling against the accused has considerably
abated since Saturday night; yet there is
strong belief in his guilt. The accused
claimed to have been under the intiuence
of whisky during the afternoon of Satur-
day, and his recollection of matters gener-
ally seemed to be somewhat deficient.
The Justice, after hearing the evidence,
refused to admit the accused to bail, and
committed him to Jail. His attorney, Mr..
Tayumer will have writ OF habeas corpus
issaed next Saturday for the purpose OF ad-
mitting him TO bail. ..,

PAYING TAXES.
ARush at the City Hall.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Yesterday was
the first day on which this, years taxes
could be paid. All who pay before Novem-
Der are entitled to discount, at the rate
of seven per cent. per annum, to be com.
puted from the time of payment to the first
day of December. Before the doors were
opened yesterday q great crowd gathered
around the brown stone building, on Cham
bers street. A platoon of police held them
back when the Receivers office opened.
They were soon strung out in long line,
which wound up and down the halls and
out of the doors, down the steps into the
City Hall Park. Men were five hours in
line before they could get their taxes paid.
There were long rows of patient women, 70
whom chairs were given. All kinds OF
tricks and excuses were used in the attempt
to get past the policemen and take an ad
vanced position in the line, but every
other man was on guard to prevent fraud
and each newcomer had to take his turn
The tax rate was 2.25, as against 262 last
wear. Between two and three million dol
lars, or about ten per cent. of the total tax
was paid in during the day.

what Mechanics Lodge Says OF Presi-
dent Jarrett.
PITTSBURGH, October 25.-Mechanics
Lodge of the Amalgamated Association
publish a statement in answer to the re-
marks of President Jarrett in the interviews
had with him. The statement, among
other things, says: The members OF Me-
chanics Lodge do not in any sense OF the
word wish newspaper notoriety, as Mr.. jar
rett does, but have tried through the regu-
lar medium of justice and right to bring
John Jarrett to understand that he could
not and should not hoodwink the members
of the organization any longer. Mr.. Jarrett
charges that it was mean to issue such
circular in his absence, and meaner, If pos
sible, to giyeit out for ,Puehcation' Me-
chanics Lodge emphatically deny
Taking Advantage OF Mr.. Jarrett,
in his absence, and also emphatically pro-
test that said lodge never gave 1t 10 the
press for publication. 1t is selt-evident
TO every honest member OF the organiza-
tion that John Jarrett has not done MS
duty to the men when on strike that nave
raised him from obscurity to a position Oh
honor and dignity. He grossly violated
the usages Of the Association by attending
or encouraging fnishers meetings without
the sanction Of sub-lodges. He said In the
presence of large number OF men that the
manufacturers certainly could pay ST on
25 card rate, and the proof was that
They Were Then Paying It.
Still he was not general enough TO say they
should pay It, He has undoubtedly
shown. from the inception of the strike
until the end, that he was entirely unht
| for the position that he was so suddenly
raised to, owing to his not having acted in
| accordance with the brave men that were
| intent 10 gain victory at all hazards, 1t Is
unprecedented in history wherein gener'
| al having charge of an army OF men, ever
vet in his address tried 10 discourage them
from winning the battle. Mechanics Lodge
has
Proved Its Fidelity to|the Cause
on various occasions and has contributed to
| the success of the movement in every re
spect. Its members are second to none In
| the district in upholding the unity Of labor
| and living up to the constitution to the
letter. Mr.. Jarrett has not all the brains
! of the Amalgamated Association OF Iron
| ing at boiling to-day that have forgotten
| more than ever he learned, either at schoo
| or at pudding. The members OF Mechanics
Lodge have not made the charge that
President Jarrea Received Bribe,
nor neither do they believe that the Pitts
burgh manufacturers would offer MIN a.
much as he was offered in Cincinnati, when
according to his own language, SlOoVOl
were offered for his disposition, when hi
shook like an aspen leaf. However, W.
then doubted, and do still doubt, the yer
acity of his statement If Mr.. Jarrett ha'
the welfare Of the association at heart
which he claims to have, he will at once
step down and out, once and forever, anC
bury himself in oblivion, never again to b'
known as leader among men.
