A Double Murder.

NEW YORK, Oct. l6.-John Irving
and John Walahe, widely known
burglars, shot and killed each other
at Shang Draper's saloon early TINS
morning. They bad been quarrelilng
and it is said that six weeks ago they
met in another saloon and drew
pistols on each other but were sepa-
rated. The police story is that john
irving and Jack Walshe We're in
Draper's saloon shortly before two
this morning, both filled with liquor.
They q%uarrelled about some rascallty
in which they were mu
tually interested. They became
noisy, and Billy Porter entered and
tried to stop the row. This inter-
ference only reused the rioters to
fury, and both whipped out their re-
volvers and fired at close quarters.
Every one in the saloon sought v
as the double report rung out. The
shots were fred at the same instant
with like effect. Irving fell dead
with a shot fired by Johnny the
Mick" the bullet passing through
his brain; and the Mick fell shot
through the heart. Neither breathed
twice after being shot. Billy Porter
and the gang ran out into the street,
but reports of the pistols were heard
by the police and Irving was arrested.
Every person suspected of being in
the saloon at the time of h eshootlng
was also arrested.

The Cuffaa Market.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-There his
been much excitement and trouble
in the coffee market since Saturday
by the introduction of a new and un-
expected disturbing element. All
the largest coffee houses receive their
own dispatches from Rio de Janeiro
giving the price of coffee. The cof-
fee exchange also receives a daily Of
fetal report as to the prices of coffee
from Rio de Janeiro. On Saturday
it was discovered that private ad III
quoted their prices at from 3 to 2 cts.
lower than the figures posted at the
coffee exchange. The fact that the
private advices agreed in the main
caused them to be accepted as correct
while the coffee exchange quotations
were ignored.
There was a large unloading of
contracts, and a further decline here
of one-third of a cent. Gable advices
continued to come in a conflicting
and unsatisfactory shape to-day. It
is said that many thousands of dol
lars have been lost by contradictory
advices. The South American G 4ble
Company is blamed for the blunders.
Interviews with leading importers
this afternoon extracted the Informal
ton that coffee has been declining for
years until the bottom was reached,
and has now begun to rise with un-
usually large transactions and much
excitement.

She stated that they carried her to an
Old house on the place, put a rope
around her neck and hanged and
lashed her alternately until thew
forced her into making a confession,
telllng her it she would confess at
the time she would not be hurt. and
should have a good home as long as
she lived.

BOSTON, Oct. 16.--Ata meeting OF
the Executive Council this morning,
Governor Butler nominated Sylvanus
b. Kinney to fill the vacancy he al
legged existed in the Board Of Health,
Lunacy and Charity. claiming that
Mrs. Clark Il. Leonard has !eyally no

ly a person. Attorney General >her-
man decided in the negative, The
council! held that Mrs. Leonard had
been continued in office by the legis-
lature and ignored the new nomina-

An Attempt to Wreck a Train

WHEELING, Va, Oct. ia vii
famous attempt was made Tonight
on the p. c.. a. st. Louis railway, to
wreck a passenger train at Glenn's
Run, seven miles from this city.
Rails were tied across the track.
There is a piece Of track at this point
level and straight, and good time is
always made, The train Was running
at the rate of 60 miles an hour and
when the engine struck the otstruc
ton it jumped into the air bu. fortu
nately kept the rails. The rear cars
broke the rails and the train passed
uninjure'i. If the train had beeh
thrown off the track it would have
plunged into the Ohio river, over an
enlbankment as the track is very
narrow at this point, and great loss Of
life would have resulted.

Mormon Missionaries,

SALT LAKE, Oct. 16.-This morn
ing a Pullman palace a containing
thirty Mormon missionaries, bound
for the east, left this city. Apostle
Cannon at the last conference n
nounced that the elders going on a
mission invariably travelled without
a purse or scrip, and this palace car
luxury is regarded by saint and sim
e as a new departure. Geo. Q.
Cannon and Delegate Caine accom-
pany the missionaries. Bishop Ed
ward Hunter, presiding bishop of the
Mormon chu,c CHI and head of the tith-
ing department, is very i'll and not
expected to survive the night. He is
81 years of age and the oldest bishop
in the church. There is a report cur
rent that John Taylor, by reason of
his feeble condition of advanced age,
proposes resigning the presidency OF
the Mormon church. II the report is
true, and many believe it is, George
q. Cannon will be his successor. This
change will strengthen the Mormon
church.

Civil Rights Decision.

WASHINGTON, d. c. October 16.-
Elk Senator Bruce (colored) regis
ter of the treasury. who has just re-
turned from the Ohio cam2aig n, was
asked for his opinion of the decision
of the supreme court. at is 2 most
unfortunate decision" Was his reply,
land it grieves me and thousands of
others very much. I think it's effect
will be to carry the country back
wards fifteen years at least. 1t does
not reflect the sentiments of the peo-
pie, as a court decision ought to do,
and it is, in my opinion, reviewing
Calhoun's theory OF state rights"
What will be its effect upon the
colored race":' asked the reporter.
THAT 1 would not attempt to
predict" was his reply, "but l do say
that nothing has occurred since the
war to embarass and discourage them
much as the decision of yester-
day."

.STATESMA AN
SHIP.

MI. Folger says the United States
Treasury has now upwards of $685.
600, 900 to its credit and that revenues
continue to pour In at the rate OF
about 81 600, 900 per day, "We con-
tinue," says that Official, Ito have
an overlooking treasury and more
money than weknow what do with"
At the first glance this looks as
though the country was prosperous
beyond all precedent and was on the
high way to wealth and happiness.
But when We consider that all this
money comes out of the pockets of
the people; that every man who buys
a pound of sugar, tea or coffee, a
dress for his wife or for his children,
a suit of clothes for himself,
or a pair of boots, or any one
of the numerous other nec-
esearies of life, contributes from
his hard earned saving towards
this overlooking treasury and thus
adds to Mr.. Folger's coDundrum:
What shall be done with the money?
we are compelled to modify u first
impression as to the prosperity Of the
people. And when we look over the
country and see the want and misery
that have been caused by the great
number of strikes, provoked by the
low rate of wages paid to working
men, this steady stream flowing to-
wards the treasury, drawn from their
pockets, loses its roseate hue and
seems stained with the tears of wo-
men and children and daTkened by
the sweat wrung from the brow of
laboring men.
1t is not a f~lattering commentary
upon Republican craftsmanship that
the Treasury of the United States is
Overfowing at the expense of the
workingmen of the country. But
what will be done with the money?
If precedents be followed it will be
lavished on extravagant and corrupt
appropriations, or it will be squan-
Tered in visionary and impracticable
or it will be stolen. Such
mas been the disposition of treasury
,urplusage and the people are loaded
Town with taxation, industries are
and the progress of the
,onn4ry retarded in order to main
ain millions of treasure at Washing
on as a prize for the INSCRIPTIONS
md corrupt. This. is Republican
craftsmanship.

took Murphy from Jail, conveyed
him back to Park City and hung him

powerful as to direct public attention
to his opinion, and it is noticed
merely to show the wide difference
between Republican professions as
made in their political platforms and
Republican practices: as exemplifed
by the First Assistant Postmaster
General.
