ADRIAN, Mich, Nov.29.-At the village
of Tecumseh, ten miles north of this city,
desperate shooting affair occurred last
evening, the aSSailant being Aaron Palmer,
about 80 years of age, of desperate anteced-
ents, and his victims, Rumford P. Anderson
and his younger brother, Erwin B., men,
bers of the firm of A. Anderson Sc Sons,
grocery and provision dealers of that place.
Palmer is unmarried and resides with his
father. Early in the evening he created
row in the Salvation army barracks. but
was elected and taken home. About 1880
o'clock he again came down town, having
with him lantern. He went to the post
Office and made himself very offensive, and
finally drew knife with blade about four
inches long. Mr.. Rumford P. Anderson,
who was on friendly terms with Palmer,
attempted to placate him. While talking
with him Palmer, who was considerably
inebriated, used his lantern to show Mr..
Anderson the various railroad signals.
Flourishing his lantern he said. s'This is
the danger signal" at the same time draw
ing revolver and discharging it. The ball
struck Mr.. Anderson just below the collar
bone, passing upward and out at the
shoulder. The
WOUNDED MAN FELL
and just then the younger brother grasped
the assassin from beeind and attempted to
pinion his arms. Palmer raised his revolt
yer over his head and fired four times, three
of the balls taking effect. He also fired
once after the wounded man fell, and
dashed his lantern to pieces on the heads
and faces of his PROSTATE victims. AS he
fired the crowd scattered in all directions,
and the rutfian was enabled to make his
fight unobstructed. AS soon as the villa
gers could gather their senses word was
sent to the city and Sheriff WhitmOre with
posse started for the scene. Searching
parties were organized and reward Of
$3.50 was offered for the assassin dead or
alive. Two hundred men have been
securing the territory all day, but up to p.
m. he had not been brought in. Should he
be taken by the the officers he will be
brought to this city; but if he falls into the
hands of the villagers he will be assuredly
lynched. The first of the brothers shot at,
it is believed, may recover. The second
one is said to be shot in the breast and
head. One eye is destroyed by powder and
the heads and faces of both are badly cut by
blows from the lantern. In October Palmer
got in a row with Tom Vanscykles at the
rooms of Maud Mcdowell, and attempted
to shoot him. He was arrested then,
charged with assault with intent to murder,
but subsequently tried for simple assault,
and escaped with nominal punishment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The president
this afternoon determined not to make the
trip to indianapolis. To reporter he said:
in the first moment of the shock of Mr..
Hendricks death 1 yielded to my inclination
and declared my intention to be present at
the funeral. OF course. in reaching that
conclusion, did not put out of view per-
emptory press of public business, or what
deemed sufficient consideration of my duty
to the people. The spubhc business thought
l could dispose of by additional application
and more hours of work. and l considered it
to be my duty to the people to answer ten
der sentiment of respect and affection to the
dead vice president, which does them great
honor l am satisfied now that was at fault
in considering the question, in that I did not
take as comprehensive view of the duty L
owe the public as should; that is, I did not
look at every phase of it, and l am afraid
nv strong personal desire somewhat
clouded my Judgment. L am now
reminded by some of the best and most
patriotic and thoughtful of my fellow citizens
that the real and solemn duties of my office
are ct the national capital; and that in the
present peculiar and delicate situation I
ought not even to take even the remote
chance of an accident incident to travel to
crafty sentiment so general and so charac-
terIStic as that involved in this subject. l
have been profoundly impressed by these
considerations, but most OF all Influenced by
their strong and unanimous presentation by
the devoted friends Of the late vice president
living in his state and city, and their indorse-
ment by the noble and patriotic woman who,
IN the infinite sorrow of her widowhood. re-
meets the character of her hOnored husband
in her solicitude for the public rood T am
now certain that neither my desire nor the
| sentiment referred to, nor the difficulty that
attends the case. change of design. nor
any stubborn idea of heroism will Justify me
in suoJectlng the country to any greater
cnance OF disaster than attends my perform
ance of strict duty here. and that ourht not
to lnf1ict on my countrymen even the unrest
aud anxiety attending my departure, absence
and return, in attendance upon the funeral
ceremonies.

WABASH, Ind, Nov. 29.-The church
investigation of Rev. David Spiker, who
was charged with maintaining illicit rela-
tons with the sister of his deceased wife,
which has been in progress several days,
has drawn to close. The evidence against
Spiker, who is prominent man in Lu-
theran church circles in his section, was
overwhelming, and both he and the woman
were expelled. Although he declared pre-
vious to the trial that he would make a
vigorous defense he did not appear in
answer to the summons, and this was ac-
cepted as an evidence of his guilt. The
case excited great deal of interest among
Germans throughout the country.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 29.-P. Booker
Reed, mayor of Louisville. and Wharf
Master Charles Kremer had street fight at
noon, and the mayor was knocked down
and considerably bruised about the face:
The difficulty had its origin in the heated
aldermanic race in the Seventh ward. in
which the two are supporting rival candi-
dates. Kremer says he knocked Reed down
because the mayor tried to bride and intimi-
date him into supporting the administra-
ton candidate. The affair is the talk of
the city. This is Mr.. Reeds third en-
counter since he was elected MAYOR.

from CHAMBERS and were shot, and much
apprehension is felt by farmers that the
disease may spread. At Chippewa Falls
one or two places have been quarantined by
order of the officials, and no horses are al
lowed to approach. These are the first
cases that have been discovered in this Sec

veterinary surgeon has been called to the
matter.

known from various conferences which have
been had that while Mr.. Cleveland be-
lleves in tariff for revenue only,'' he is
very reluctant to enter into contest with
the protected interests, or do anything
which they will regard as an attack upon
business. For this reason it may be ex-
pected that the presidents tariff recon-
mendations will be conservative.

Deficiency i'm the Postal DEPARTING

Deficiency i'm the Postal Department
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Hazen. in his an
nual report, places the gross receipts of the
postal service for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1885, at S42, $50, S44, and the total eX-
penditures $40, 602, 1SS, leaving deficiency
for the year amounting to 81, Oh, 344. Gen.
Hazen estimates the gross revenues for the
current fiscal year at $47, 500, 900, and that
the expenditures will exceed this amount
by about 81, 500, 900. He thinks an era of
prosperity has set in, and, on the subject of
the postal revenue as an indicator OF private
business, says:
In no other statistics of either government
or private business are the pulsations OF
trade so readily and so unerringly distinguish
able as IN postal revenues. The entire cOun-
try is tributary to them and every depart
ment of life, whether of business or social
nature, feels the need of the service which
they represent. They derive their susie
nance, however, largely from the demands of
business, and hence they are quick to respond
to the changes from normal conditions.
He devotes considerable space to the
analysis and comparison of postal revenues
since 1878, all of which point to the con-
cluSion that the resumption OF business
prosperity has gained a firm basis.

After Land Frauds.


WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-It is said that
the secretary of the interior has decided to
send special agent to California to make
a thorough investigation of all land titles
which have been obtained from the United
States or upon which there is the slightest
shadow of fraud. In harmony with this de-
cison Commissioner Sparks, who probably
suggested it, has refused to issue patents to
lands till after reports of the special agent
are received. 1t is said the appointment
has been made and that the agent leaves
next week for California. Such appoint
ments are not made public, as that might
impede the work of the agent.

You have one kind of temptation: you an
other; you another. There is not person
in the house but has been tempted, whether
you realize it or not. never like to hear

way that man is" He could not be tempted
the way you are. A lion cannot understand
why fish should be caught with a hook,
and the fish cannot understand why the
lion should be caught with trap. You
may be free from certain kinds of tempta-
ton, but there are 0ther kinds after you.
Well, now you say: '.All persons being
tempted, what are we to do when we are
assaiIed of temptation? When the wave
dashes against US is there nothing to hold
on to? Is man to go into this war with
the world, the flesh and the devil with no
help?" l will tell you, my friends: The
wsest thing for You to do in the day of
temptation is, like these disciples of my
text, to go and tell Jesus. In the eyes that
wept with the Bethany sisters l see shining
hope. In that voice that broke the silence

proof positive that you have not done your
duty. for when a man does his duty he
challenges all earth and hell, and that chal-

scorn and persecution. 1t is so in all circles
of life.
