The Rumor Confirmed that lie Will Mar
nv Miss Folsom in June.

BUFFALO, April 1.-THE rumor that
President Cleveland is to marry Miss
frankie Folsom of this city in June has
been confirmed. Gen. q. Barrett Rich of
this city said yesterday 81 will state to
you that the report of Mr.. Cleveland's
coming marriage is true. A lady friend
of my wife Il prefer not to mention her
name, but she is Il close friend of Miss
Folsom and is in constant correspondence
with herr has received a letter from Miss
Folsom in which she states that she is to
be married to Mr.. Cleveland quietly at
the White House in June" Miss Folsom
is now about %, tall in person, queenly in
bearing, graceful in action, generous in
disposition, witty and vivacious, well read
and accomplished, and perfectly compe-
tent, despite her youth, to fulfill the re,
sponsibilites and duties that are eXacted
from the wife of the President of the
United States. The fact that she is the
Presidents ward, coupled with his prud-
ish ideas of proprety have led many
who know them both to doubt the truth

PROSPECTS FOR WHEAT.
Flattering Outlook Except in Kansas and
Michigan.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-The following crop
summary will appear in the Farmers Re-
view this week Reports from Kansas
for the past six weeks have indicated only
partial crops, but the latest bulletins pre-
dict an almost total failure in a number OF
counties, while at best there is promise of
not to exceed one-third of an average
yield for the entire State. The prospect
in Michigan shows no improvement. In
many counties wheat is reported to be
going backward on account of the recent
dry and freezing weather. In LeOnaWee
and two other counties indications of the
Hessian fly are reported. Except in these
two States the outlook continues not only
good but in many prospects are tlatter
ing. For winter wheat i'll ONO, as Il
rule, the reports are very favorable.
Throughout all southern Indiana the fields
are looking green and plants healthy.
In Missouri some OF upland is looking
poorly but the lowands prospect could
hardly be better. In Tennessee tine plant
has already attained Il growth of II inches,
and prospects are encouraging. The
spring wheat area of Dakota appears to he
in the lead with fine weather for seeding
and plenty of moisture. Very little seed
ing has been done in Wisconsin, Minneso
Ia, Iowa or Nebraska.

JEAL0USY'S CRIME.
A DEPOSED PRIEST MURDERS THE
BISHOP OF MADRID.
After Repeated Importunings for Rein
statement the Priest wreaks his Ven
geance Shoots the Bishop on
the Cathedral Steps.

MADRID, April 1s.-At 1920 this morn
ing while the bishop of Madrid was as
cending the steps leading to the entrance
of the CATHEDRAL he was shot with revol-
yer by priest standing at the top of the
steps, the ball entering his abdomen.
This was followed by second shot which
wounded the bishop in the side, where
upon the wounded man fell on the steps,
The priest then descended the steps and
fired still another, which took effect in the
bishops thigh. The assassin was then seized
and his victim in an unconscious condi-
ton was carried to Il private chamber in
the cathedral where the last sacraments
for the dying were administered to him.
1t being Palm Sunday the cathedral was
more than usually thronged by worship
pers and when the fearful work was real
lied, a furious mob followed the carriage
in which the priest was conveyed to the
prison by Eendarmes whose presence
alone prevented the lynching of the
would-bemurderer. The motive for the
crime was revenge.
The man who fired the shots was recent
ly dismissed from the priesthood and had
fruitlessly applied to the bishop to he re
instated. The pope has telegraphed his
blessing.
Later-The bishop is still alive. The
priest has made an attempt to commit
suicide

MIR. MANNING'S RECOVERY.


WAsHGNGToN, April 16.-His physicians
say that Secretary Manning is certain to
recover. The lesion of the blood vessel in
his brain has begun to heal and he now
manifests every symptom of returning
strength and health In few days he
will be able to be taken out riding, and as
soon as possible will 90 off for Il time to
rest under the most favorable conditions.
His friends now say that there will be no
necessity for his retirement from the
treasury and that the president more than
ever insists that, if it is possible, he shall
remain. He will not be permitted hereaf
ter to labor so constantly and unremit-
tingly, and with sufficient assistance and
constant care he will be able to remain at
the head of the treasury department and
by his advice direct the affairs and assist
the president in his general policy as
heretofore.

OHIO LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION.
Looking into the Charges of Bribery
Against Senator Paine.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 15.-The legisla-
tive committee appointed to investigate
the charges of bribery in electing Ii. b.
Payne senator, January 1884, reported
this evening. The majority report signed
by three Republicans is lengthy and &C
companied by 800 pages of evidence, the
important points of which are cited to
show that none of the members of
the present general assembly have been
conclusively impeached upon corrupt
methods, and the testimony fully justified
that it be certified to the United States
Senate for action by that body in consid-
ering Payne's right to his seat. The
minority report signed by two Democratic
members. is devoted to impeaching the
most damaging witnesses.

OPEN SENATE SESSIONS.
LOGAN PREDICTS THEM IN THE VERY
NEAR FUTURE.
The Senate should Have no Secrets from
the People-Islair Contends for the Pre-
cedence of his Pension Bill-Nan
wyck's Resolutions.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-During Logan's
remarks in favor of open executive ses-
sons of the Senate, Hoar interrupted to
inquire if Logan would favor open com
mittee meetings. Logan replied that the
people were not demanding open commit
tee meetings, but they were demanding
open doors for the proceedings of the
Senate, and the doors will be opened. Mr..
Logan added Mark what | tell you, and

charm the senators, Logan continued, to

them when asked by citizen how they
voted on the confirmation of the village
postmaster, to be able TO reply with the
air of mystery, "Oh, can not tell you |

this country would run the country.
Logan advised the senators to stop their
star chamber proceedings Let not the
representatives of the people imagine they
are higher or better than the people, or
have any secrets of state that cannot be
impaired to the people"

Hoar that he had ample opportunity

had ever seen in the case of any pension
bill in either House of Congress. He was
utterly disguised with the manner in
which this and other pension legislation
had been treated at this session, and UNI
less the work of the pension committee
could be treated with more respect he for

He states that the men in the
Southwest have made no appeal for
charity and do not ask for help, and then
continues ut is your executive board
that makes the appeal. He who gives
quickly gives doubly. Act at once. Do
not pass resolutions condemning capital

be fought out manfully. Watch his &C

fearlessly. Do not delay and at the same
