Two failures have occurred
among the tobacco warehouses of
Louisville this week which have
caused considerable excitement in
tobacco circles in this city. The
first was that of d. X. Mason of
the Peoples warehouse. His liabil-
tiles are over one hundred thousand
dollars, and Investigations have
shown that he was guilty of gross
frauds. He has been sent to Jail,
charged with felony. He: raised
money On tobacco In his hands
from several different banks by
duplicating receipts for the same,
and depositing them with the banks
as collateral. In this way he raised
two or three times as much as the
tobacco was worth and then sold
the tobacco. Parties in this city
and section will lose probably as
much as 50, 900 by the failure.
The other failure was that Of
Messrs. Semonlne & Co., of the
Pike warehouse. The following
dispatch is the latest news of the
failures
LOUISVILLE, March lT.--There are no new
developments in the cases of ID. X. Mason
and Semonine & Co, the tobacco firms that
failed last week. The creditors of Mason
from all points of the country are showing
up until the liabilities reach over 500 900.
Semonine is still missing, and it is believed
they have acted crookedly and fed the
country. Their books are in very bad shape
and receipS ont for tobacco not in the house.
About thirty suits were filed to-day against
the failing firms. The failures win depress
the tobacco trade here.

A MAD LOVERS CRIME.

A Milwaukee Telegraph Operator Quar-
reis with His Sweetheart About Her Re
Iigion, shoots Her, and Finishes His
Own Life with the Same Weapon.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 1.-THE most horri-
bic tragedy in the history of milwaukee, for
many years took place last night, being the
murder of beautiful young girI by her
lover and the suicide of the latter. The at
fair took place on Huron street, near the
corner of jackson, few minutes before
eleven o'clock. The man, j. A. ST. Arnold,
was a telegraph operator at the Northwest
ern Depot, and came to this city from his
home in Minneapolis last summer at the
time of the operators strike.
The girl, Bridget Pagan, belonged at Big
Bend, Waukesha County, and was pastry
cook at the hotel connected with the North
western station. The two had been keep
ing company for about six months and were
supposed to be engaged to be married. 1t Is
not known that there had been any trouble
between them. They started out for
a walk Sunday, evening, leaving the hotel
about eight O'CLOCK. They spent the
evening at the house OF the girls married
sister and were returning to the hotel
when the shooting took place. The bodies
were taken to the Central Police Station,
where the man died in an hour. The WON
an is still alive. The only possible cause
suggested for the double murder is the fact
that the man was Protestant and the WON
an a Catholic, and it Is believed by some
that she was unwilling to marry unless he
would become of her faith, and that he, I'M
willing to do this, and not willing to give
her up, did the deed.

HORRIBLE DOUBLE MURDER.

OF Winnetka, slain by Unknown NHsas-

L. L. wilson md wife, An Aged Couple
! of Winnetka, Slain by Unknown ASsas-
sins-Robbery Undoubtedly the Motive
CmCAGo, Feb. IA most horrible
murder was discovered in the town OF Win
netka. about sixteen miles north of this city,
at lO:3O o'clock yesterday }. l.. Wilson
and his aged wife were found in their home
in that peaceful village with numerous Stabs
about their bodies, and both cold in death.
Mrs. Wilson had been an invalid for
some time, aud every Wednesday girl in
that town has been in the habit OF calling
there aud attending to her wants while the
old gentleman came INTO the
city. On entering the house,
AS was her custom, yester-
day, she found the blinds were all down
and an air of quiet that was even unusual
prevailed Rolling up the curtain to
admit light, she was appalled, to see Mr..
Wilson lying behind the stove, while great
clotS of blood on the wall and floor around
him spoke only too plainly of horrible
crime. She Immediately ran out for
help, and several neighbors followed her
into the house again. hurried glance
around the room showed that but few
things were disturbed. Several deep
gashcs on the old gentlemans head and
face, evidently produced by knife
were found 10 have been the cause OF ms
death. VISITING the room upstairs which
the invalid wife had occupied, it was found
that the same state OF affairs existed there.
She was lying on her bed, dead, with sew
eral stabs in her body, while the position
of the remains showed that, weak As she
was, she had made frantic efforts To protect
herself from the murdcr0uS slabs OF the
assassin, there being blood spattered on all
four walls.
Mr.. Wilson, it is said was quite wealthy,
and always kept large sum OF money
about the premises doing his banking bust
ness with firm in this city The girl who
found the remains, and is familiar with the
place Of cOnceamcnt for the old man
money, says ii is all gone, and other indica'
tons make the motive one OF robbery.
Later information goes to show that when
the girl visited the house she found the doors
all fastened and was compelled to force an
entrance through one of the windows. The
weapon used in the murder is also said to be
a sword that belonged to a son, and was
hanging mp in the house.
As yet there is no clew to the murderer,
and the citizens are in high state OF excite
meut.

Another Siep towards Freedom.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. I'm the
Criminal Court States Attorney Wallace dis
missed the case against Frank James and
Charles Ford, charged with the Blue Cut train
robbery in ssh The attorney submitted a
statement that owing to the refusal of Gov
ernor Crttenden to pardon Dick Liddell the
State was deprived of his testimony and
also valuable corroborative evidence; hence
he would be unable to make out ease.
He stated also that the case at Gallatin for
bank robbery against James would also be
dismissed, thus vacating all the indictments
IN Missouri. The announcement created
quite ripple of surprise in the courtroom.
James was Immediately taken before Judge
krekel, of the United States Court, where Il
hearing is now in progress on the charge Of

Monday afternoon after a painful illness
of twelve weeks. He had been more or
less sick for year, and last summer went
to Europe for his health, returning in the
early autumn much improved. Then he
plunged into an exciting political campaign,
and was compelled to give up from over
work. He was first taken with bilious
fever, supplemented with jaundice. This
was followed by pneumonia, and at last
congestion of the liver set in. Every noted
physician in the East was called in, but all
efforts to save Il worn. out and weary man
failed. The Eagle was issued late last
evening with inverted column rules.
