WASHINGTON, d. c., June 20.-Mr.
ker, of the Government counsel in the
Star-route cases, was before the Springer
Committee to-day He inumated that

passage-at-arms between Milliken and
Van Alstyne, members of the committee,
respecting the character of Ker's testi-
mony, Ker continuing, said: "Mr. Bliss
has seen fit to testify that was guilty of
direct falsehOod. | will undertake to
prove by the record that Bliss, instead of
myself, has been guilty OF falsehood. The

Nj AID FOR DRINK,
A Minnesota Man, Whose Wife and
Chill dren Escape, Kills His Mother
in-Law and Sister-ln-Law.


ST. PAUL, MINI, June 20.-A double
murder and suicide occurred here last
night, Joseph Cechura came home in
the evening and threatened to kill his
wife, who escaped with the children.
He then locked the door, preventing the
escape of his mother-in -law, Mrs Kath-
arine Messerschmidt and her daughter,
and arming himself with large knife
stabbed the old lady in the back and
breast. The daughter rushing
to her mothers rescue was stabbed
through the lungs. She then started for
a neighbours, but the elder lady having re-
ceived fatal injuries fell on the way,
where the cries of the daughter attracted
attention and brought assistance. The
murderer then went up stairs and COM
mitted suicide with poison. He was
taken to the hospital, but died this
morning. Cechura was Bohemian
of about fifty, and with his wife oc-
cupied the upper portion of the house,
and rented the lower part to his
mOthcr-in-law. The quarrel grew out
of the fact that his wife had collected
the rent to prevent his spending it for
drink. He left letter to his children
saying: "lf you should ever marry hope
you will get better wives than your
mother is or ever was" Another letter
said he belonged to the Knights of Honor
of st. Louis, Mo.
Margaret Messerschmidt, the daughter,
IS not expected to live.

Recent Continued Decline
in Stocks.

New YORK, June 2O.-Corneius X.
Garrison assigned to-day to John T..
Terry, of Z. ID, Morgan & Co., bankers.
Terry, being interviewed, said he had no
idea yet how matters stood.
Melville C.. Day, one Of Garrlson's at

Garrison is heavy indorser of railroad
paper. His physical condition is feeble
owing to advanced age.
News Of the assignment brought out
large blocks of Wall street stocks, caus-
ing decline of one-half to five per cent,
led by Vanderbilt and Western Union.
Garrison's preferences are stated at

tornia, $4,000, Bank of New York and
National Banking Association, $500, 0O0i
United States Trust Company, 500, 900;

ST.. Louis, Mo-, June 20.--The Morning
CaH OF this morning publishes the fol-

which purports to be an exact history OF
Major fuckers land entries
SANTAFE, N. NJ, June 20.-In a recent
issue Missouri journal OF some
prominence and several less prominent
partisans assail General John A. Logan
for alleged connection with what they
please to call the robbery Of valuable
portion of the Zuni Indian reservation in
Southwestern New Mexico. TO citizens
OF New Mexico acquainted with the facts
and the worthless vagabonds called Zuni
Indians 1t seems simply preposterous
Tor any newspaper claiming to be de.
Gently and senslbly conducted to
rehash such stale yarns. The facts
are these During the spring
OF 1888, several townships adjacent to
the Zuni reservation were surveyed, and
AFTER approval of the survey, these town.
ships were opened to entry under the pre-
emption homestead, desert and timber
culture act. Several months after these
lands
WERE DECLARED OPEN FOR ENTRY
by the proper officers of the Department
OF the Interior, Major w. +. Tucker
and Captain w. II. Lawton,
of the United States army, filed
each desert land and homestead
entry upon tracts containing springs, and
along branch of the Nutria River. This
they did in strict accordance with the
law, and in the exercise of their Just
rights as American citizens. Shortly after
such filings, an Indian Agent, b. NJ.
Thomas, discovered that in recommend.
Ing an extension of the reservation
to the Zunls several years previous
he had forgotten to inclnde these
tracts. This Immaculate Indian
agent at once stirs up the Indian
Bureau. The Indian Bureau stirs up the
General Land Office and finally an Execu-
tive order IS issued adding these town.
ships to the Zuni reservation. For this
reason the entries of the gentlemen
named above are held suspended at the
General Land Office pending final adju.
dication of the case. The Zunis have
never owned or even claimed these lands.
They do not use them to-day and never
used them. OF course they would like to
hsve them and as much more land as the
Government will give them, even into the
millions. nd now, as for
,@EyEaAL IaGAS's CONNECTION
with the matter, h absolutely has none
Your correspondent has sifted the matter
to the bottom, examined the official
record and knows this to be fact. 1t is
true Major Tucker is General Logan's
son-in-law, but the General knows moth
ing of Major fuckers entries, was not in
New Mexico when they were made and
had no hand in it in any way,
shape, manner or form. Major Tucker
and Captain Lawton made legal entries
upon free, unclaimed, wholly unappro-
priated and unused public lands, by virtue
of and in strict conformity with the law.
The Spanish grant to the Zunis covers
not third of the area of their present
reservation, and that is all they are en-
titled to.
