that our citizens living near the border

is that persons favorably situated

avoid the heaviest part of the taxation
borne by their fellow citizens. In the

FIGHTING THE NEW SCHEME.


CHICAGO, Sept. 0.
The banks, National and private, compos
ing the Chicago Clearing House Association,
have nearly all signed an agreement not to
receive any more of the new post notes or Or
ders on deposit, and those who have not
signed will probably do SOFAS soon as the doc
ument is presented to them
A reporter visited several banking houses
with view to ascertaining the cause of
this action VicePresident Gage. of the
First National, said the banks objected
mainly to receiving the postal orders on de
post because of the extra labor, annoyance
and'trouble they caused. An officer Of the
bank. not an employee, is required to in
dorse them; then they have to be care
fully examined to ascertain if the amount
is properly punched on the margin, and
care must be taken to see that
they have not expired, as the limita-
ton OF them is three months. Mr.. Gage
thought it was better for the receiver of
the postal notes to obtain the money at the
pOSt-Office, if drawn on Chicago, and de-
post the cash, thus saving the bank the ex-
ira labor which depoSiting them required.
a postal order for seventeen cents was
shown the reporter. 1t was drawn at
Parker, d. T., on the Chicago post-office,
and required the signature of one of the
banks officers before it could be eashed at
the post-office. Other bankers expressed
similar views, and SO far as the receiving of
the postal notes at the Chicago banks is con-
cerned, the official edict has gone forth that
they must go. 1t is believed here by the
bankers that similar action will be taken by
the banks of other cities.
That the new notes will be used to very
large extent, despite this action, there is no

BLACK SHEAR, Ca, Sept 9.
A rustic dance in the lower part of Pierce
County was the scene of a sanguinary en-
counter between two country lasses Thurs
day night. Miss Mabel Smith and her
niece, Miss Roxy Wilson, both daughters Of
respectable farmers and bellies of the even
ing, were rivals for the hand of
country swain, whose personal attrac-
tons were enhanced in the eyes
of the maidens by a $4,000 estate
to which he is the only heir His preference
for Miss Smiths company was very marked,
and Miss Wilson became Infatuated with
jealousy. AtT1even O'Clock she was so mad
dened that she made open threats that she
would kill both her rival and her lover Her
brother, who was present, shared his sisters
anger, and, while they were all dancing in
the same set about midnight, secretly put an
open knife into his sisters hand and went
on with the dance Suddenly raising the
knife above her head, the Infatuated woman
Sprang upon her aunt, and at the first strike
almost disemboweled her. Before the
Mortified spectators could recover from
their establishment she raised the
knife again and plunged it to the hilt in the
| dying woman's breast, cutting cash which
laid open her dress and exposed the bleeding
wound to view. Without waiting to see
the effect of the wounds the murderess
sprang like tigreSs toward the throat of
the swain, but was seized and disarmed be
fore she could accomplish her purpose, The
woman's brother made 10 attempt to inter
/ fere while the tragedy was being enacted,
and when it was over calmly walked away
| and has not been seen since. The murder
| eSs, who is an unc0mmonly handsome coun-
try girl Of nineteen years, is under arrest.

and to have announced his intention to
spend every cent of it if necessary TO clear

A Matchmaking Scheme that Did Not Work.

NEW YORK, Sept. D.
Louis V, Jones, a goodman at the Grand
Central Hotel, was arrested late Thursday
night on a charge of attempting to black
mail }. Mussbracker, of 1877 West Thirty
seventh street. Jones had sometimes driven
Mr.. Mussbracker about town, and in that
way had learned some of his secrets. A
few days ago Mr.. Mussbracker received a
letter purponing to come from detective
named J. l.. Adams, in which the writer
said that he had been employed to shadow
Mr.. Slussbracker, and had discovered many
acts of intidelity which he would keep quiet
on payment of $3.50. Mr. Mussbracker
promptly showed the letter to the police,
who advised him to go to the place of rem
devious appointed in the letter. He did so,
accompanied by two detectives, and the
would-be blackmailer was captured
