The Alleged Shooter OF Judge Page
Killed,

Stevens Point (Wis.,) telegram: ]. A.
Reilly, proprietor of a notorious resort was
shot and killed last night by unknown par
ties, while in Jail under arrest for assaulting
a young man who visited his bagnio the
night previous. Reilly was arrested at 5
O. clock yesterday afternoon and locked mp.
He was not seen again by his keepers until
l o'clock In the morning, when a police
man visited his cell, and found him dying,
with bullet through his left hand nose
and left temple. His head bore the marks
of being beaten by blunt instrument.
1t is supposed that the ones who committed
the deed opened the outside door with a
key which they had in come manner pro-
cured and entering the front room of the
JAIL found KEY to the cell in which Reilly
was lying upon the table, and opening the
cell cautiously, and before he awoke from
sleep, they commenced firing. One of the
bullets passed through his nose and an.
other one entered his temple, embedding
itself in his brain. A deep cut was also
made in the top of his head as though with
some blunt instrument, The victim EVIL
IDENTIFY struggled desperately before he was
finally mastered, as his necktie was torn of
and his shirt stripped almost from his body.
Policeman Dunnegan entered the Jail at
about l O'Clock, and found Reilly breath
ing his last. This was the first that was
known of the terrible deed. The victim
was thirty-four years of age, and had been
here for about three years, always bearing
hard reputation, aside from the disreputable
business in which he was engaged.
Reilly came into prominence in Mime
sofa through his arrest On suspicion OF hav-
ing shot Judge Page at Austin. The par
ticulars of that crime are still fresh in the

was an episode in the long continued and
bitter feeling engendered by Judge Page,
and which permeated almost every sacred
religious and political interest in Austin.

was shot in the back of the head and neck

ries who took part in the war against the
Nez Perces and Bannock Indians. The San
Francisco Chronicle, in commenting upon
this quietly remarks that it can see.no JUS
tice in pensioning these so-called soldiers,
for the simple reason that they were'the ag-
gressors, and caused the wars for the pur-
pose of getting possession of the lands,
horses, and cattle and personal effects of the
Indians. The Chronicle hopes the bill will
fail as, indeed, it is very likely to do.

Mr. Watterson has been hoist with his own

petard in this instance is letter, signed
with the principal initials III. w" All
really great editors are much given to rush
ing into print with personal articles, to which,
with childish glee, they append their names,
1t is not necessary, either, to say that of all
the great editors affected with this peculiar
maady, Mr.. Henry Watterson probably has
it in the most violentform. He is continu-
ally breaking out, and it is one of
his numberless letters, published in
the Courier-Journal, that has now
brought him to grief. Mr.. Watterson is a
furious free-trader, and as such exerted him.
self to secure the election of Mr.. Speaker
Carlisle. Success crowned his forts in this
regard; but in. the very hour of victory there
came occasion for subduing the wildness of
his enthusiasm, for from every quarter of
the country rolled up protests to the effect
that the triumphant free-traders must go
slow-indeed, that they must not go at all.
Hence Mr.. Watterson twanged his little
party tuning-fork, pitched lower key and
led the chorus in the refrain that nobody
but a fool believed in free trade, or wanted
free trade, but that it was revenue reform"
for which Mr.. Carile's election stood, and it
tection," which all the free-traders wanted,
and which the election of Mr.. Carlisle meant.
And then came the Nashville Banner,
haunting Mr. Watterson with having written
a letter in which he declared for absolute
free trade, and ridiculed the mask of
revenue reform" behind which certain
timid Democrats were trying to hide them
selves and their real purposes. This letter
was published in the Courier-Journal, and
dated from Washington, in June 1882. The
letter is flat-footed, and among other things
says
1.-THE conflict between free trade and pro-
lection, a tariff for revenue only and a pro-
tective tariff is irrepressible. The term rev
enue reform is convertible and may be
worn, perhaps will be worn, as a mask by
the apostles of the New Slavery, which has
replaced the Old. 1t is, therense, like the
old Wing qniddities, equivocal and misead-
ing. The advocates Of thorough revision,
planting themselves squarely upon the
proposition that taxes shall be levied ex-

ALMOST, if not quite, the entire ownership
of the property fronting on the square on
Market street. between Pennsylvania and
Delaware, has demonstrated against the ordi-
nance for the improvement of the roadway
with Medina stone. When the Council
found that this 'im provement' could not
b. rol ced upon Washington street, without
precipitating a bigger row than they cared
to face, the scheme was transferred to Mar
ket street An ordinance had already been
passed to improve this square with powders,
and Just why a Medina stone ordinance
should be put on top of this is not
easily explainable. There is something very
strange in the pertinacity with which the
Medina stone is pushed. What is the inn
portance of having a Medina stone street in
Indianapolis? Who is so interested in this
stone as to make it necessary for property
owners to be constantly on the alert to pre-
vent being sadded with an expense Of from
SIS to 500 front foot? We should be glad
to know the inside of this Medina stone
business and so would a good many other
people If certain councilmen are determined
to have Medina stone pavement, why don't
they pass an ordinance to have one on a street
upon which they own property?
