CHIPPEWA FALLS. May 1S.-The case
of The State vs. Kane. which has been on
trial since Monday, was given to the jury
this afternoon, and after an hours delib-
Grafton they returned a verdict of guilty OF
manslaughter III the first degree.
The prisoner, John Kane of Wheaton, who
killed his wife a few weeks since, the circum-
stances of which are as follows: The latter
part of March word was brought TO the ofli-
Gals in this city that Mrs. John Kane of
Wheaton had been foully murdered and her
body placed in the stable on the premises
under the feet of the horses to divert suspi-
eiou from the perpetrato or. At the coronerS
inquest il was developed that the family, con-
siSting of the murderer, his wife and son,
had lived in n state of discord for
some time, with frequent QuarrelS and
fights. At the time of the murder the son
was in the city. Upon examination, the floor
OF the house in which the family lived was
found TO he covered with blood and trail of
blood was visible along in the snow leading
from the house. The statements made by the
prisoner were very contradictory and far
from explanatory of the tragedy and circum-
stances pointed to him as the perpetrator of
the deed. He was held for murder, with the
above result. The prisoner is about rs years
of age, and hardened character. He takes
the sentence very calmly, and seems uncon-
cerned in regard to his trip over the road. He
was very ably defended by Messrs Anderson
and Richardson, the latter making one of the
tro neest pleas ever made in this city. The
tate vs.. Pachette Bros, for arson, will be
allied in the morning.

Expected a Cyclone.


CLINTON, Wis.,, May 13.-The cellars of
this place were used yesterday if never
before. At about p. M. fearful roaring
was heard, and nearly all believed a cy-
clone was approaching. About five min
utes later the place was visited by the
worst rain and hail storm ever
known here. Fully eighty lights
OF glass were broken out of
one building, and nearly or quite every one
for miles around had some of the glass in
the east windows smashed, the sky-lights
being all demolished. The ground was
covered with leaves and fruit must be badly
injured. The breaking of glass and roar
ing of the storm made most unpleasant
sound. Some of the pieces of ice were
fully as large as a hens egg. Heavy plate
glass blinds, and even half-inch boards were
broken by them.

A Battle With an Eagle.

Lyons, N. Y, Republican.
The well-known young farmer, Albert
Williams of Savannah, in this county, had
a hand-to-hand combat with an eagle in
field at his farm last Monday, the particu-
lars of which have since been the subject of
much discussion in that part of Wayne
county. Mr.. Williams was blowing and
heard a rustling of wings in a thcket
short distance away. He left his pillow
and, going to the spot, was struck dumb
with amazement at finding huge bird on
the ground. He could scarcely believe he
was not dreaming. At that instant the
bird rose in fight and he recognized it as
an eagle of unusual proportions. The bird
started for the woods short distance
away, but one of its wings being disabled it
could only fly readily. MI. Williams ran
after the bird as fast as possible.
Suddenly the eagle lighted upon
the ground, and the farmer
thoughtlessly ran up and attempted to seize
it about the neck. In an instant the bird
attacked him, fastening its great beak upon
Mr.. Williams leg, at the same time grasp
ing the lower part of the leg with its talons-
The eagles beak cut through the mans
pantaloons and sank deep into the flesh of
his leg. The farmer grasped the bird with
MS Iull SIfengIn, Dut WAS uIdple 10 remove
the beak or the talons. Blows with the
hands were of no avail. Finally Mr.. Will
liams managed to drag along to pile of
rails few feet away, and Selling a club
dealt some very heavy blows upon the
eagles head Then the bird loosened its
hold and fell bruised and stunned with the
farmers blows at his feet. The eagle
measured from tip to tip of it's wings feet
and inches. Its head and talons were
very large Mr.. Williams wounds were
dressed and will soon heal, but they are
quite severe.

CHICAGO, May 13.-Presdent Albert
Keep of the Northwestern railroad, said to
your correspondent to-day:
The person who started that story that at
the next meeting of the Northwestern rail-
way the dividends on common stock
would be reduced to 2H per cent, is probably
short hundred shares of the stock and
wanted to start story that would help him
to make profit. The dividends of this road,
however, are fixed by the directors and
know very well that no director had anything
to do with that story. 1t is not proper for
me to say what the next Northwestern divi-
dend will be, for 1 don't make it;
but I can say this now, that / do
know, there is reason in the world
why the dividend should be decreased.
The railroad business has been very seriously
affected by the recent labor troubles. The
spring and summer traffic, which began most
encouragngly, has been demoraliZed. But
this is because shippers, country merchants,
and manufacturers have been demoralized
Their business
PLANS HAVE BEEN UPSET.
Enterprises which they contemplated have
been abandoned. The railroads have not suf-
Tered any more and not any less. They have
suffered exactly the same proper
ton, for the railroads simply carry
the business of these other people.
The roads naturally stood together on their
labor troubles. The traffic matters have been
forgotten in the meantime. The rate-cutting
has not been so serious matter as
is described. Still railroad competition is
sharper, l think, now than anything else.
This, however, is one of the business risks to
investors. AS to the use of the new proposed
