DangerousIy Wounded.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24-The Journals Milwau-
kee special says: ''At noon to-day Abbott
Lawrence, assistant cashier of the National
Exchange Bank, was shot and dangerously
wounded on Wisconsin street, near the Mil
waukee Club House, by George A. Wardner,
formerly bookkeeDer of the same bank. The
ball entered the small of the back and is sup.
posed to have glanced off into the chest
After the shooting, Wardner walked to the
Police Station followed by large crowd of
people, and gave himself up. Mr.. Lawrence
is the son OF ]. M. Lawrence, an old and very
wealthy resident of the city, and WardDer's
parents, who are still living, and are among
the early settlers of Milwaukee. 1t is be-
lieyed that Wardner's mind was affected and
that he was Influenced to commit the deed
by some fancied wrong. The shooting
created the greatest excitement in the city,
owing TO the prominence of the two men,
Both are thirty-eight years of age and un-
married. -------. - -- -.--.
Officials OF the bank, as we'll as intimate
associates of WardneT, say that his mental
and nervous system has been failing for
several years back in consequence of hard
work, and are positive of his insanity. He
had become possessed with the idea that
Lawrence and other attaches of the bank
were harrassing him at every opportunity
and endeavoring to drive him out of his
position, which, however, was purely lul-
agiDary, as the gentlemen were his friends.
He readily talked of his act, when seen by
the Associated Press correspondent and
said: Il had made up my mind that the
only way to right the wrongs done me was
to kill the tormentors, and only regret that
Lawrence was not killed on the spot. If ]
ever aet out, and he is still living, viii shoot
him again. Two others-meaning President
Nash and Cashier Fitch, both of the bank =
will be served in the same way" His talk
clearly indicates his mind TO be deranged, as
he never had better friends than Messrs
Nash and Fitch, who but yesterday arranged
to have him take a two months recreation
on full pay, and an assurance of his position
being retained for him. Tonight Mr.. Law
renee is resting comfortably and although nc
attempt has been made to probe for the ball
his physicians have strong hopes of his re
cOvery.

Catholic Church, and he visited him this
morning, and also Rev. B. y. Ferguson, OF
the Free viii Baptist Church, and two Hol-
land preachers, and he at last concluded TO
die in the Protestant faith. He continued
to deny his guilt and declared that he had
never made a confession. His wife had a
long interview with him this morning, and
the meeting was very affecting. After she
left he wept alone, but was soon ouieted by
the clergymen. Deputy Sheriff Robson pre-

The condemned man appeared weak and

Died of His Wound.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-Dr. Edward II. Coates
shot and probably fatally wounded DIR. A.
B. Keith at The corner of Fourteenth and
Pine streets this morning. Both of the men
are dentists, and it is stated that jealousy
has existed between them for a long time.
Coates has been endeavoring for a year past
to procure divorce from his wife, but has
been unsuccessful in his efforts. DR.. Keith
has, in the meantime, been defender and
sympatbizer of Mrs. Coates and although he
is sixty-five years of age he has been accused
by the ladys husband Of improper relations
with his wife. Coates has been respondent
for some time, and this morning announced
his intention of drowning himself andstart-
ed for the river to carry out mis- purpose, but
upon emerging from the house he met DR.
Keith, and after exchanging some hot words,
he accusing Keith OF having caused all his
unhappiness and the latter denying it.. a
struggle ensued, both men falling to the
ground. Upon Keith's arising and attempt
ing to walk away, his antagonist drew a re-
volver from his pocket and discharged it
with the above results. Dr.. Keith was taken
to the City Hospital, where his wound was
pronounced fatal, and where he died at 40
o'clock this afternoon.

WAsHINCroN, March 1.-Senator Beck may
not agree with the President on silver, bat
be is with him in his controversy with the
Senate. The Presidents refusal to give up
the papers for which the Senate is asking
is, he think, matter of policy, and not of
right
These papers" he said, are not on file. No
paper is on file for which the law does not
provide place. Can the President de
stroy these papers if he wishes? That is
the best test as to his rights. The President
can not destroy any paper which is on file in
any of the departments without rendering
himself liable to punishment under the law.
Suppose he should take all these papers re-
lating to removals, and make bonfire of
them, could anyone stop him or punish him
for it? They could not. Then these papers
are not on file, andsthe Senate has no right
to them. No one has right to them but the
persons who wrote them. If the President
wishes, he can puta card in the paper to NOR
row announcing that he will return all these
papers to their writers. No one could prevent
his doing so. The Senate could not make
the people to whom he returned the papers
tell what was in them. The Senate has no
right to these papers. The law says the
President may remove in his discretion
These papers concern only that act of re-
moval. Whether the President abandons
that right of removal in his letter is q Ques-
ton of policy. AS a matter of right the
Senate is not entitled to these papers,
Senator Beck said further that il he had
been President all the officeholders, or at
least those who had themselve the distribu-
ton OF patronage, should haye gone long
ago.

depends persons who are in political sympa-

Speaking of the probable result of the pres
ent controversy Mr.. Beck said he did not be-
lieve Mr.. Edmunds could bring his men to-
gether-that IS unless he got them into hot
discussion. There were some independent
men upon that side of the chamber, Bowen
and Cameron and Plumb among them, who
spoke right out and said what they thought,
and they were not going to be led into any
tschnicalities by Mr.. Edmunds. Senator
Beck will probably take an active part in the
debate, which 10 promised this week. He is
one Of the most earnest and ofective Of the

A PIOUS FRAUD.
A wen-Devised swindling scheme Comes te

WARRENsBuRG, Mo-, March l. Charles H.
Smith, who was arrested here on last Friday
night, had succeeded, by a well-devised
swindling scheme, in defrauding the inhab-
itants of this and adjoining counties to the
amount of $4,000 His plan was as fol-
lows: He pretended to have been specially
ordained by God to form a new secret order
from which was to grow a new and the only
true religion. Accordingly he began estab-
fishing the order of The Star of Heaven"
He would grant charter to any six persons
who applied for it, provided each paid into
1T $25. Charter members pledged themselves
not TO take more than six more members
members of a lodge. Then he had prophetic
visions in which great avenues of wealth
were opened up to him. On the basis OF
these visions, he induced his dupes
to mortgage their farms to the order
and thus it became q sort of loan associa
ton. The Secretary had charge of the notes.
deeds and mortgages of the lodge which he
them into cash. Smith was Finacial Agent
of all the lodges, and here is where the swim
die is When the lodge was organized, the
first duty of the Financial Agent was to pur-
chase land near some town, divide 1t into
town lots, which were purchased by MEM
bers OF the lodge from the Financial Agent
as follows: A member paid $50 for a lot
one-third cash and a note for the balance
bearing 10 per cent. interest, and gave a
mortgage on the lot. He then got $50 of the
Treasurer, gave it and his note for 500 to the
Financial Agent, and gave the Treasurer a
receipt for $50. The Agent returned $50 to
the Treasurer and had the note for 500. In
this way each member got a lot and the
Agent many notes of from 500 to $500 each.
The notes were good. The Agent sold them
and got rich in this manner described His
victims are numbered py the hundred.

.WksHIs6ToE, Feb. 2S.-The opposition Of

the confirmation of General Goode, Solic-
itor Of the Treasury, is the resalt of bar
gain and sale, inaugurated by that very Illus

ator Malone. Goode and Malone have been
personal as well as political enemies for
years. The former is perhaps the most ef-
feetive organizer and political ruler and
speaker in the Democratic ranks of Virginia.
Through his influence, more than any other
man in the Old Dominion is attrib-
uted the honor Of sinking into
aarkDess the political star of the
old-tine Confederate bushwhaeker, now
the conspicuous Republican Senator and
leader. The bargain was brought about in
this way: In the beginning of the contest
between the Senate and President, Malone
said to Edmunds that he didn't care TO join
him in his fight against tie executive, and
would not do so unless certain concessions
be made 70 him.

the Senate will reject the confirmation OF
Goode, will vote on every proposition you
may name and in any manner you may in
