A NEW YORK TRAGEDY.
A Broker Shot Dead in His Rooms by the
Man Whose Sister He Had Seduced.

New YORK March 19.-George w. Conk-
ling, United States surveyor on the govern
ment surveys in Nevada, shot dead William
H. Haverstick, the seducer of his sister The
tragedy took place in the ''Paris Flat" 341
West Twenty third street. Conkling ar
rived in the city few days ago. Ten years
ago his sister married a man named
Uhler. They soon quarreled and separated.
Falling in with Haverstick, she came to New
York and lived with him in the paris
Flat" Learning of her whereabouts, Conk-
ling came on to New York and obtained an
interview with his sister She promised to
go West with him, but refused to
live with her husband Tonight, Conkling
went again to see her and was met by Haver-
stick, who swore the woman should not
leave the house. The two men came to blows,
and Haverstick threw copper statuette
at Conkling, who drew a revolver and
fired The ball struck Haverstck in the
pit of the stomach, inficting a wound from
which he died an hour later. Conkling left
the house Immediately after the shooting,
and walking to Eighth avenue and Twenty
third street, surrendered to the officers.
Uhler was a broker at II Broad street,
Conkling said, and Hayerstiek was
his partner. In this way he made tue
acquaintance of Mrs Uhler When his sister
saw Conkling she agreed to go with him to
his Western home, and last night was the
time fixed upon to leave. When Conkling
arrived at the house his sister was in an in
ner room and heard only the noise
of the quarrel. Conkling is twenty
nine years old and Haversti ok
thirty; he was broker at 60 Broadway,
and had lived with Uhler about two years.
Conkling was locked up He refused to talk
to reporters. He told the officers that Hay
erstick tried to eject him, and had thrown
several articles at him, when, in self defense,
he shot the man. Mrs. Uhler is said to be
very pretty

Quoted us personally to the boat, and then

further the interests of peace Instead of
finding him hard and uncompromising, he
was ready to make every concession in the
interests of is peace"
The next morning when l awoke and had

vessel, and there l saw Grant running along
on the bank, jumping like boy, as lie waved
a dispatch in his hand. l soon found out

KARL MARX.
Cooper Union Thronged with Admirers and
Followers of the Dead Socialist.
NEw YoRK. March 1e.-Cooper Union was

New York, March 19-Cooper Union was
crowded to its utmost capacity tonight by
people gathered to honor the memory of
Karl Marx. The red flag of the Commune
was everywhere, and picture of the dead
man, framed in black and surmounted with
the motto, ''Vive rInternationale," hung at
the front of the platform. p J. Mcguire,
Edward King, Victor Drury, John Most,
DR., Adonai and John Swinton made
speeches The last named gave a graphic
description of his first and last meeting with
Marx, at Ramsgate, England. He eulogized
the domestic and public virtues of the dead
Socialist, and saw he had made "Internation-
al'' the watch word of the worlds workers,
He gave more than all to mankind when he
gave them himself
Resolutions were read in English and
German and unanimously adopted. They
declare that "the world of labor is plunged
in sorrow, its most powerful
thinker, its noblest hero, Karl Marx,
is no more. His life and the great
powers of his intellect have for thirty years
been devoted 10 the cause of the laboring
people. In the field OF social economic sci
ence he was the first to prove by statistical
facts and reasoning based upon universally
| recognized principles of political economy,
that capitalistic production must necessarily
lead to the monopolizing and concentrating
OF all industry in the hands of the few, and
thus, by robbing the working classes of the
fruits of their toll to reduce them
to bitter and absolute slavery and degrade
ton" The resolution concludes by pledg-
ing the dissemination of the ideas given by
Marx, to the world, and the dedication OF
their lives to the cause of which he was the
min a str rrrin in, nrl,i oh, ha Loft co
noble record, and never to forget his ap-
peal to the workingnien of the world to
unite.
kilograms of coincidence were received
from Boston, Maryland and New Jersey, and
from Henry George and Frederick Engles.

BLooMIYGToN, March 19.-The Journal has
already referred to the fact that defaica-

Burns, of the Chicago & Alton local freight
and ticket offices here. The fact that this
defalcation existed has been known for some
time, but its exact dimensions were not
made known, or in fact discovered until
Saturday. e. A. Blake a married man from
the East, has been cashier of the freight Of
fees under Mr.. Burns for some months. Some
weeks ago Blake sent his wife and family
East and about three weeks ago he obtained
leave of absence and departed He had
been gone but day or two when
Mr.. Burns discovered that something was
wrong. He sent for an auditor, and the
search for the trouble begun. The defalca-
ton, small upon its discovery, kept increas-
ing until it is now known that no less than
S704 have been confscated. This was done
by an elaborate system of holding back way
bills. and so skillfully was the work per-
formed that until Blake went away it could
not be detected. Blake's whereabouts in the
East is known, and Agent Burns, accompa-

Proposed Measures Intended to Increase tn
Efficiency of the Military.

Special to tho Indianapolis Journal
SPRINGFIELD, March ia bill is now
pending in the same form in both the House
and Senate of the Illinois Legislature for a
revision of the military code of the State
1t provides for enlistments for three years.
instead of five, as now, and makes generals
of brigades removable either by the Governor
or by court-martal. The assis tant adjutant-
general is to rank as a colonel, instead of
lieutenant-colonel, as heretofore, and there
are various other minor changes. The OBJ
ject is to increase the efficiency of the
State and National Guard by encour-
aging enlistments, and the adjutant-
general hopes that, under it the great variety
in the uniforms may also be done away and
simple and inexpensive style of military
dress be established throughout. The State
appropriation is too small to accomplish this,
and the bill does not provide for it; but as
surances have already been given that certain
wealthy citizens of the State who have much
military pride, will assist the organizations
in this matter as soon as the reorganization
can be effected.
Both the bills have been reported favorably
and stand good chance of passage. They
will come up for discussion during next
week If the measure gets through, it will
be by the assistance of few public-spirited
young Democrats who have military pride
but the main body OF the Democrats are op-
posed to it

farmer who was dubbed and robbed in
Boyce's woods on Saturday night, by John
Tucke has been taken to his home, seven
miles out of town, and was in very pre-
carious condition when the surgeons left
him this evening. 1t is rumored that he is
dead, but the report is probably premature.
Tucke was arraigned this evening, and held
in 5000 bonds. Blood was found on his
hands and clothing, and his handkerchief
showed that he had used it as towel after
beating Kellys head with club until it was
fearfully cut and bruised. The wounded
man identified Tucke as his assaiant and
the .circamstantial evidence is very strong
against him.
