AN IOWA HORROR.
A Married Man Murders His Sfster.In
Law and Take His own Life.

ELDoRA, IA, July 17.-Buckeye town
ship, in this county, is all ageg with ex-
citement in consequence of unique and
horrible tragedy enacted last night at a
farm house four miles from that place.
Miss Grace Rand, beautiful girl of
nineteen years, was a member of the
family of George johnson, a farmer,
whose wife was her sister. The ladies
customarily occupied one bed in the
second story of the house, while johnson
and hired man slept together down
stairs. Last night the family re-
tired as usual, Mrs. johnson with
her sister and the two mea
in room on the first floor. Miss Rand
fell asleep quickly, and just as Mrs.
johnson had nearly lost consciousness
she was aroused by some one approach
ing the bed. 1t was her husband. He
leaned over the bed, kissed her affee-
tionately, bade her good night and left
the room. Immediately after her hus-
band had gone Mrs. Johnson's atten-
ton was attracted by the strange
movements made by her sister
Putting her hand on the girls
face she was terror stricken to
feel blood gushing from her sisters
throat. A moment later the girl
writhing in the agony of death, rolled
from the bed to the floor Mrs. John
son struck light, and discovered the
girl lying dead, her throat cut from ear
to ear The hired man came, in answer
to her screams, and instantly started to
alarm the neighbors. When the
nearest arrived, johnson, too. wa;
found dying near the door, with
broad cash in his throat and a bloody
razor lying beside him. AS the coron.
er's investig ,tious have only just begut
no theory has been brought to light il

namely, that johnson, who had violeutI,
opposed her approaching marriage to :

jealousy killed her and took his own life

What Gen. Booth Says About the Matter
His Address.

LONDON, July 17.-Gen. Booths ad-
dress at the Exeter Hall meeting yester-
day showed that the Salvation Army
originated the Pail Nall Gdzette's aeita
tion. Gen. Booths son saw Mr.. Stead and
told him that something must be done.
Mr.. Stead replied: IF you help me in
an inquiry | am game for going into the
matter" The outcome ofthis was subse-
quent communications and the commits
sion was resolved upon. Gen. Booth ex-
pressed admiration for the manner in
which the hemembers of the Salvation Army
sacrificed themselves in order to bring
about reform. He had applied to Mr.
Gladstone and Lord Salisbury, but
neither was willing to assist in the work
Mrs. Booths letter to the Queenis dated
June 3d. 1t has no reference to the
Gazette's inquiry. Mrs Booth ap-
peals to her majesty on the
ground of the rejection of the
criminal bill by Parliament, to use
her influence for the adoption of meas
ures for the protection of young girl;
and the raising of the age.limit to sixteer
years. The meeting adopted resolution
demanding that Parliament pass the bill

mary KIeemah, the Poisoner, Given
One Year In the PeIiit, ntiary.

CHICAGO, July IL Mary Kleemap,
the girl under Indictment on the charge
of poisoning with intent to kill the
family of her sister, Mrs Michael Freres,
at Rose Hill, and who is also under a
shadow for the death of, aud is said to
have confessed poisoning her father and
sister year ago, was placed on trial in
Judge Anthony's court to-day. But
little time was spent in securing jury.
Miss Kleemsn was dressed in deep
mourning for her parents, and sat by the
side of her counsel and watched the pro-
ceedings closely, but with calmness one
would think impossible in the woman
who shrank so from a mention of her
case while she was confined in the county
jail At times she exhibited nervous
ness to slight degree, but she quickly
controlled herself. Mrs. Freres, the
sister of the prisoner, is a small woman
with reddish hair and dark eyes and
looks a great deal like the pris-
oner. When she struck the stand she
showed no sympathy for the prisoner and
appeared decidedly on the aggressive.
She said that on the Tuesday night prior
| to the poisoning the defendant proposed
quiesced, and the soup was served. Miss
Kleeman refused to eat any herself. say
| ing she did not care for it. Shortly
after eating it they were all taken sick
and continued so until Thursday, wher
they were much better. On that day
Mary proposed that they have more
soup, and again she refused to eat it
They were all taken sick, and she grew
suspicious. She saw a gray substance il
the soup, and paper found in the yarc
also contained a similar powder.
After the introduction of expert testi
mony, proving that the white powder wal
arsenic, the case was given to the jury
who returned a verdict of guilty, tn,
penalty named being one year in tn,

IRISH LAND PURCHASE BILL.
The Measure Introduced I'm the House
OF Lords.

toND0N, Jiily t7.-tt the House of
Lords this evening Lord Ashbourne pre-
sented the Irish land purchase bill He
explained that owing to the limited time
at its disposal the government directed
its energies to producing a short, work
able, non-contentious measure. The bill
nro-sdes for the advance of three-fourths
OF tDe purchase money at four per cent.
interest for forty-nine years. Where need
be. the whole money will be advanced on
conditions which, while just aud generous,
will hot EXPOSE the government to the
risk of loss. 1t is therefore PROPOSED
in sGch cases to retain deposit of one
fifth of the purchase money at moder-
ate Interest until the tenant has been re-
paid BY installments III equal sums; also
to utilize the Irish Church surplus to
guarantee the State from ultimate loss,
but only after the forfeiture of the one
fifth retained. The act is to be admins
tered by the existing Land Commission,
which will be reinforced by two commits
sioners for three years at salary of f200O
year. The government thought ii
too late in the session to appoint an en-
tirely new commission 1t also proposes
to create cheap and simple form for the
conveyance of land. Earl Spencer ap-
proved the measure. Replying to ques-
tioDs, Lord Ashbourne said the govern
ment proposed to limit the amount .oi

Church surplus is estimated at e750,OO0

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July III. W.
Ewing, special counsel appointed to in
testgate charges Of crookedness in the
Knoxville courts, to-day reported to
Comptroller Pickard. He found the
revenue accounts of the clerks correct.
He found that the State lost by the Gus
tom had in the Criminal and Circuit
Courts OF twice binding them to appear
bS claiming attendance more than once.
He found in the Criminal Court bills of
costs not examined properly by the judge
and attorney general. Speaking of the
recklessness of MAGISTRATES, he said that
IN one case justice has in number of
instances summoned himself as witness
before himself, claimed his attendance as
q witness and bound himself over to
Sourt to appear as witness, but does
not appear to have attended. In cases,
with few exceptions, whether examination
is waived or the case is tried, witnesses
are bound over to court, regardless OF
whether they are material or not, thus
violating the statute. The pay is fifty
cents for each bond taken. In quite a
number of cases for larceny the arresting
| officers, when a party IS bound over, sum-
mon another officer to act as guard, al
though the Jail is but little distance
away. For this valuable service the guard
is paid 81. As many as four cases for
larceny have been tried by one magis-
trate in one day, and all of them acquit-
ted. Separate warrants are frequently
issued for offenses that might be includ-
ed in one and the same. Witnesses are
summoned in each case, their claim thus
quadrupling the cases. When case is
continued from one day to another a nit
timus is charged for in each continuance.
The city police do not cut the figure be-
fore the MAGISTRATES that the constables
do, one of the latter having made ninety
three arrests since January last. The
three magistrates above mentioned have
paid into the State Treasury since their
incumbeney, going hack to 1873, in one
case 1895, and have drawn out of it
thousands of dollars From the report
it will be seen that while there has
been violation OF law in only few in
stances, still the officials have in the exer-
else of their duties paid but little atten.

Mrs. King boarded at h5tel for a few

Z. Newton Rowell shot Lawy.. lynch,
of Utica, for intimacy with Mrs. Roweil
in October, 1888, Mrs. Kings presence
at the Rowell residence on the evening
of the tfagedy cast another, though rather
| indefinite, stain upon her character. She
| took Supper there that night with Mrs.
Rowell; and, though she subsequently
stated that she was there assisting Mrs.
| Rowell, there existed a belief il town
that she as well as Mrs. Rowell expected
a gentleman friend there. King called
for his wife early in the evening, however
The Rowell children, who, by the way
are now in Rat1yia with their father
were at Mrs. Kings, and sfter the
tragedy Mrs, Rowell went there also
The. two women were quite firm friends
More talk about Mrs. King was created
last year when William j. Purdy, station
agent for the Central railroad here

he had expended to maintain his rela

Nor since the swindler S,S,.iier. member
OF Parliament and Fiscal, robbed the peo-
pie of Ireland OF millions of dollars, has
there oeer SO precarious state OF things
nnapicially in that country as has fol-
Ewed upon the failure of the Mum
ster Bank, in which also ano her
member of Parliament-Shaw-is con-
cerned. Unless the government goes
to its aid and enables it to resume bust
ness there will necessarily be great deal
of suffering and destitution on the part Of
thrifty, honest people who had risked all
they had of fortune to the care of the
Munster Bank directors. And this unto
ward condition is likely to be aggravated
by the threatened failure of the Hiber-
Dian Bank, which, next to the Bank Of
Ireland, is the most extensive institution
of that sort in Ireland. Timely aid by the
Salisbury government may prevent a
panic, the conseqpsnces of which would
necessarily bs, seriously felt throughout
Great BRIAN also.
