THE STATE AT LARGE.
Another Detroit Murder.

About midnight on the 23d Of October the
employees at the Michigan Central depot In De-
troit, and those of the residents In that yicini-
~, who had not retired for the night, heard
pistol shot. The sound Of the explosion came
from the alley between Larned and Congress
streets, and u few moments after the shot was
fired Thomas Calladine, porter In the West
ern Hotel and Thos. Burke, an emp.oye al
McCoy's saloon, $50 Woodbridge street, started
IRON the depot TO investigate the matter. On
ARRIVING at the alley mentioned, they found
the body OF man, apparently about a years
OF age, lying on the ground within lew feet
of the sidewalk on Third street. The body
was still warm, ami from a CHASTITY wound
about two inches above the car, a stream OF
blood and brain oozei out upon the fagstones.
The dead mans pockets were turned inside
out aud his coat was torn at the collar, indi-
eating that he han engaged In struggle with
his assassns before the fatal shot was fired.
Thos. Smith, baggageman at the Michigan
Central depot, identified the body as that OF
Don. Ever, the well-known Port Huron saloon
keeper. Ever was In the city the day of the
murder and when last seen by Smith was at
Frank Houp's drug store, 32S Michigan ave-
nue., about p. IN. He was somewhat OF a
sporting man, and besides wearing plenty OF
able amount OF money ON his person. A
brother and other relatives OF the dead man
live in Flint, where he was at one time engag-
cd In the saloon business, removing to Port
Huron about five years ago.
The police have no clue TO the perpetrators
of the murder, which, judging from the ap-
pearapce of the dead mans clothing, was un-
doubtedly committed By persons who knew
Ever and his habits, and also that he had
plenty of money. The body lore
no other marks OF violence except the
bullet wound and few slight scratches on the
chin. The tear in the coat extended from the
cellar half way down the front. The vest was
also unbuttoned, Indicating that the murder
ers made thorough search of the pockets, 9th
inside and out, before they left. the scene of
their dastardly deed. They failed, however,
to take the G. A. X. emblem worn by the de-

NJ Delaunay, OF Paris predicts that earth
uakes on a grand scale will occur next year
lther when the earth is under the influence of
planet OF the first rank, like Jupiter, or under
hat Of group Of asteroids, or at time when
the sun and moon are nearest TO our planet
simultaneously. This specialist In earthquakes
foretold the frightful catastrophes which oc-
CURED in South America in 1877. He an

Regarding the emission Of carbonic acid and
the absorption Of oxygen by leaves kept In
darkness, Deherain and Maquenne observe that
in Euonymus iaponica, the planet selected for
experiment. the carbonic acid given of exceeds
the oxygen absorbed. Thus the respiratory
phenomena of leaves consist not merely In a
transformation Of the oxygen absorbed into
carbonlc acid, but also on the production Of
carbonjc acid from internal consumptions

cry OF property In Baltimore TO the value OF

and sold them TO different parties. Now tho
land lies in the heart Of great city covered
with solid blocks of buildings, and the valu-
atom Of the whole will amount to $4,000, 900.
Col Philip Yieser, a lawyer at Paducah, KY,
and Mr.. Fox Of Danyille, were engaged to go
to Baltimore and begin action to get posses
sion of the property as soon as the lease ex-
pires, which win be in eighteen months.

Crueltie, in Morocco.

The cruelties practiced by the authorities Of
Morocco are attracting the serious attention OF
all foreign representatives, and an appeal to
their respective governments will probably be
made for foreign interference in order to stop
the horrible atrocities which are almost daily
perpetrated on alleged criminals for some inn
aginary offense trumped up by spies for the
purpose Of retaining their positions.
Recently one OF the officials of the city
cansed a poor women who was enciente TO be
logged in the presence of her husband and
father. The woman's arms were tied together
drawn over her mead and then the rope was
fastened to a stake TO hold her in that position.
The lashes were laid on so heavily that blood
flowed freely from the poor creatures back, her
aged father and unhappy husband being COM
PEELED to witness her terrible sufferings. After
the fogging the woman was taken to the
house OF an English lady, where she Is now be-
ing kindly cared for. Foreign residents are
greatly shocked at the occurrence of such cru
elites and have signed position for protec-
torate.

Will Hang

The prlvy council has dismissed the appeal
of Louis Riel, the leader OF the half-breed in
surrection in Canada, against the sentence Of
death passed upon him by the Canadian
courts
Tho decision practically ends the career OF
Louis Riel. He has been prominently before
the public eye since 1869, when he led the re-
bellion In the he'd river country, captured Fort
Garry and was for a time successful, being
eventually obliged, however, to take flight into
the United States. From 1870 until 1888 he
lived in retirement, n good portion of that
time having been spent In Minnesota, where he
was engaged in farmin In 1888 he was called
on, as he clam by the northwestern Indians
and half-breeds to lead them In their demands
for rights alleged to have been taken from
them by noncompliance with agreements
made when their property on the feiriver was
taken. The progress and the failure OF the
late revolution are circumstances too recent
to have faded from the public mind Riel Is
now over 40 years Of age. He was well educat-
ed, and those who met the man say that he has
all the natural qualities of perfect demagogue.
He will be hanged Nov. IL, unless some un-
foreseen complication takes place before that
time.
