AFTERNOON SESSION.
In the afternoon session of the council
the bill providing for the appointment of
two additional deputy sheriifs in Carbon
county was postponed inde6nitely-equiv
alent to s%quelching it definitely. The
cause of this action was the receipt of a
communication from the commissioner Of
Carbon county stating that the expense of
two deputies would be unjust upon the
county and that the officers were neither
wanted nor needed.

OF Maggie Mitchell who appears at the
Opera house next Monday and Tuesday
evenings, the Ohio Republican says: The
little lady who appeared in Little Barefoot
before a delighted audience in the acade-
my on Friday evening of last week, is per
haps, the most popular actress of the day.
To this popularity three things have con-
dueed; her amiable disposition, her ex-
cceding ability and the many years in
which she has contributed to the amuse-
ment of the people. Maggie Mitchell is

At 10 O'Clock the doors were thrown

As to what was done by the council
while in executive session is supposed, Of
course, to be a secret, and it must be con-
fessed that the members of the council

Governor West went 20 the Peniten-
tiary yesterday to talk with the
polygamous convicts there. He ask
ed If they would be willing to prom
Use obedience to the laws il be would
use his influence to have clemency
extended to them. Apostle Lorenzo
Snow said he would not. He had
no confidence in Judge Zane or
United States Attorney Dickson,
whatever he might have in Cover
nor West.
The Governor said to Snow that
he had no right to talk that way.
The officers had no malice, bnt were
all kindness. They were but doing
their duty. and would join him in
asking the clenency ofthe President
for them ifthey would submit to the
laws and urge others to do SO. Snow
said he did not blame Judge Zane
and Attorney Dickson any morethan
he did those who prosecuted Christ
and the early Christians, but I'VE
are following the Girect command OF
God and cannot give way to the law
Of man."
Governor West considers that
this leaves not a leg for the Nor
mems TO stand upon In their claim
of persecution that President Cleve-
land would probably have listened
to recommendation for clemency,b but
that the Mormans leave no oppor-
tunity for its exercise.

Bogus Butter for Orphans.

WEST CHESTER, May 1.-THE
Farmers Protective Association of
Chester county is waging a vigorous
war against oleomargarinc and other
limitations o butter. OnTuesday they
discovered that it was used in the
Chester Springs Soldiers Orphans
Home and also sold from that in
stitutiou to persons living in the
neighborhoud. This morning Geo.
b. Johnson, attorney for the associa-
ton, directed that a complaint be
entered against Thomas 0. K. Rob
arts, steward and baker ofthe school,
for selling bogus butter. Summons
we're also issued for James l.. Paul,
of Harrisburg; George w. Wright
aud George Pearson, of Mercer, this
State, ali of whom are owners, and
Professor Van Horn, principal of the
school, to answer the same charge on
Wednesday, May 10Th. Samples of
the so-called butter were sent to
Professor c. B. Cochran, of the
West Chester State Normal School.
1t is said by Constable Jeffries, who
made the information, that a mum
Der of persons in the vicinity of the
school and also some of the inmates
have been made seriously i'll, and
their sickness has been traced to
this imitation butter.

A Ghastly Discovery.

CHICAGO, May 14.-The Coroner
received a dispatch this morning
from T. A. Vogt, a trustee of the town
of Cicero, near this city, which said
that nine boxes, containing the bod
les of children and adults had been
found about half a mile south OF
Oak Park. Up to eleven o'clock no
other particulars concerning the dis
eoyery vert to be had. The facts
as known created excitement in po-
lice circles, one of the theories adj
vanced being that the corpses were
those OF Anarchists who had died
from injuries received in the Hay
market explosion and in subsequent
fights with the police in the south
western part of the city.
There have been rumor that a
number eff dead Anarchists were Sc
cretly buried by their comrades,
and it was thought that the bodies
found might be those disposed of in
that manner.

PREscoTT, KAN, May 13.-The de-
tails of a shocking murder. the per
petrator of which met death at the
hands of Judge Lynch, were devel-
oped at a Coroner's inquest held IA
short distance from here yesterday.
The victim was Miss Minnie Grimes.
aged II, who had lived with H. II.
Spencer, one of Linn county's Oldest
farmers, for a long time. The muir
derer was f. Lyles, aged 2S, a re-
jected sutton of Miss Grimes. On
Tuesday Lyies left his brothers
house TO visit the Spencers. He
stopped at a country store on his
way and purchased a box of car
tridges. When near Spenc4rs house,
he met Miss Grimes returning home
from school. He again asked her
to marry him, and when she refused
be deliberately shot her. The girl
started TO run home, but Lyles kept
up his fire until he had emptied his
revolver. Twice he deliberately re-
loaded, firing in all fourteen shots.
The second shot was the fatal one
Not satisfied with this he cut the
girls throat and beat her brains out
with a club He then went or to
Mr.. Spencer's house and told of his
crime. Mr.. Spencer held him until
an officer arrived, and the pair start
ed for this place. News of the muir
der rapidly spread, and a mob con-
gregated, took Lyles from the con-
stable, and hanged him to n tree.

Alaska's

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Gov.
Swineford, of Alaska, delivered an
interesting address before the House
Committee on Territories to-day, on
the resources, climate and laws of
Alaska. Alaska, he said, could
alone furnish the fish supply of the
world. 1t had valuable gold mines,
yielding as much as sixteen dollars
per ton of ore at an expense of but
one dollar and twenty cents. Its
forests were also exceedingly valua-
bic. The Governor urged that addi-
tional legislation be enacted grant
ing Alaska the same judicial security
as existed in other territories. AT
present the people did not even
have the privilege of paying taxes,
and inability to secure perfect title
prevented settlers from taking up
land.

A Double Killing Conspiracy.

NEILLsvILLE, WIS, May 5.-This
county has been thrown into a state
of great excitement through the dis
covery of a. horrible crime. Last
Sunday Harry Wright, a farmer
living in the northern part of the
county, died very suddenly. Sus-
picions were aroused at the cause OF
his death. The body was disinter-
red by relatives and the stomach
sent to Chicago for analysis. A
post mortem, which was also held.
developed symptoms of poisoning.
Wednesday Mrs. Wright was arrest
ed, just as she was about to leave
the county, and lodged in Jail here,
on a charge of murder. A warrant
was also issued for a man named
Daniel Allen, who was suspected OF
having a hand in the transaction.
Last night Mrs. Wright broke
down, and made a confession, giving
the details of one of the most hor-
rible crimes ever known in the State.
The statement of the woman is to
the effect that Allen and herself had
been intimate for the past year and
a-half. Both were married. Their
passion led to the formation of q
plan that included the murder of
Wright and Mrs. Allen. 1t was ar
ranged that Mrs Wright should
first make away with her husband.
After he was dead and buried and
the excitement had worn off Allen
was to do the same with his wife,
after which the two were to marry.
In accordance with the agreement
Mrs. Wright secured poison and,
two weeks before Wright's death,
succeeded in giving him a dose. In
her excitement the woman gave too
much and the result was only to
make her husband very sick. He
had hardly recovered from the ef-
fects of the first when a second dose
of poison was mixed by Allen. This
did the work. Allen is-now in Jail
here
1t is rumored that large crowds OF
Wright's neighbors are gathering to
lynch the guilty couple, In view OF
any such contingency the jail is
strongly guarded.

base of the Popocatapetl volcano.

beautiful spots in the republic. but

A CYCLONE IN ILLINOIS.
The village of odeIl Badly wrecked.

CHICAGO, May 13.-Passengers on
the Chicago aud Alton train which
arrived here to night had a remark
able experience with a cyclone. At
Pontiac, Ill, a storm cloud vas seen
gathering in the West and moving
in : northeast direction. As the
train sped on the storm kept coming
nearer every minute, and the pas
sengers began to realize that they
were being chased by a cyclone.
Just as the engine pulled into Odell,
ILL.,. the storm struck the town, and
the air was full OF debris. In a mo
ment seven stores and the hotel
we're unroofed, and one large brick
building nearly destroyed. Under
the wreck of the structure two chill
dren were buried. The telegraph
wires in that vicinity are reported
down.
Specials from Streator and Rock
ford, ILL.,, and Peru, Ind, tell of a
terrible wind and hail-storm at those
points. About $50 P. NJ. heavy,
roaring clouds from the south and
FAST met just over the city of Rock
ford, and daylight was suddenly
converted into darkness, A down
pour of immense haii.stones follow
ed, greatly damaging trees and
breaking windows. In the country
surrounding Streator the rain and
hail ragged for an hour ana a half,
and the destruction visited upon
grain, fruit and all vegetation is
very great. From Peru. Ind, tele-
grams are received to the effect that
houses were unroefed, trees uproot-
ed and wheat blown down. A large
amount of stock is reported killed
by lightning.
JOLIET, ILL.,, May ia most des-
tructive cyclone is reported from
Odell, a village forty miles south OF
here ON the Chicago and Alton Rail-
road, this afternoon. Passengers on
the train arriving here at 6P. NJ. state
that as the train neared Odell they
saw the cyclone approach. First
they saw the roof of an elevator rise
and sail off into the air and the
building collapse. Then the hotel
and houses raised up and tumbled
over and over like feathers and were
shattered to pieces both brick and
frame and all sizes, from shanties to
two-story buildings. The train was
stopped, but as the wind was blow
ing parallel with it it was was not
upset, though brick and sticks broke
the windows. Considerable time
was required to remove the debris
from the track before the train could
proceed. After the cyclone passed
the people busted themselves look
ting.under the ruins of houses for
those missing. The train resumed
its journey without giving the pas
sengers a chance to learn the casual.
tiles but it is reported that several
men, women and children were kill
ed and injured. The local telegraph
agents have been trying to commun-
icate with the Odell operator all the
evening but cannot succeed, and tht
real extent of loss OF life and proper
ty cannot be a~scertained.
