ing at o'clock, when his body was found

der. The fact of not cent being found on
him bears out the murder theory. Samfield

Corr,BIA. Tex, March An exciting
and dramatic incident occurred here last
evening. In the morning two men rode into
town. Their remarkable appearance at once
attracted the attention of every one. They
were covered with mud, and carried per-
feet arsenal of rifles, pistols and knives with
them. One was i man over 90, with long
gray hair and blood in his eye; the other
was man of thirty years. built like giant
and wearing a terrible ScOwl on his face.
They were father and SON, William WOffard
and Sam Woffard. from the backwOods of
Matagorda county. The old main said he
was looking for his daughter, Kate, who
had lit out with her cousin, Bill Wotfard.
Yesterday the father and son located the
runaway couple, who were occupying a
small tSherman'S hut half a mile outside
the town. When old Wotfard found out the
location of his daughter a large crowd OF
curious men and boys followed the
TERRIBLE LOOKING PAIR
TO the vicinity of the tent, as the old man
kept continually examining his gun and
saving. "I'm going to kill him sure" AS
they neared the tent the crowd fell back.
while the old man and his giant son ap-
preached, rifles in hand. Suddenly the flap
of the tent was violently thrown open from
the inside and there stood Bill and Kate,
each holding Winchester rifle, one cover
ing the old man, the other the son. Old
Gravhead and Sam glared like two wild
bears on the lovers. and Bill called out:
''Do YOU suppose I'm going TO give her up
after we done tramped to get her all the
way from BrazoS? Not much. She's mine
and YOU may stand there now and see us
married" The old man and Sam under the
suggestive Wmchesters slowly moved back,
all the time facing the boy Bill and his
his Kate, who had the drop on them.
Meantime a courier had gone to town for a
LICENSE. AND A PREACHER,
and after nearly two hours during which
time Bill and Kate never took their eyes off
the Old man and Sam, and threatened TO
kill either should he raise hand, the
preacher and the license arrived. During
the ceremony the bridegroom kept his rifle
at half-cock pointing toward the father-in-
law. The preacher was so afraid they
would open hOstilities while he was there,
that he could scarcely finish the ceremony.
After the marriage the old man delivered a
terrible curse on both, and said he would
spare their lives now provided they never
set foot in Matagorda county. IF you
do said he, as he shook his long dirty yell
low locks. and violently struck his rifle with
one hand, ''if you do, you are both OH you
dead soon as you cross the line, for when
I'm gone Sam he's there. You've got the
whole world before you except Matagorda
county. Now 60" With this the old man
and son departed forlOrn, while Bill pulled
down the flap of the tent.

STOP EATING PORK
because it offended the Jews it would burst
up mighty big business here. Renewed
laughter. There is little danger now of
people melting up their jewely to make a
golden calf. The people of to-day were
like the children, he said. They have been
brought out OF the dark ages of ignorance
and superstition, and they stand to-day in
the broad glare of the most stupendous and
magnificent civilization known to history.
This is the greatest country, and no section
is more blessed by God than the great
Northwest, of which Chicago is the center.
How are the people thanking God for these
blessings? Every man exerts an in
fluence for good or evil. God
never made you corrupt. Every
evil passion is the perversiOn of good pas
sion. Sin is the negative of good. An
evil man is good man perverted. He may
have all the elements of physical life of a
good man, and have given them up to de-
bauchery, when God intended he should
use them for purity and godliness. Let
him direct his energies for good and God
will sanctify it. We have that IN us which
will make us good if we live as God would
have us live. A barkeeper can leave his
hellish business of destruction and become
as good man as there is in Chicago
There will be nothing added TO him, but
everything in him which had been per-
verted will become converted and trans
formed

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., March News is
received here tonight that band of thirty
Apaches attacked party of travellers fif-
teen miles southwest of Nocosari, Sonora,
Mexico, killing one Mexican and an Ameri-

Moses. The band then started south and
camped one mile south of San Pedro,

STILL A SCULLER.
Hanlan will be on the Water Again
This Season.

AnlS season.
Special to the Globe.
Boston, Mass, March There have
been all sorts of rumors afloat about Oars
man Hanlans future. Fred Plaisted says
he recently had long talk with Hanlan.
Hanlan said he had given a new lease of
his hotel for 50, 500 a year and would con-
tinue among the scullers five years more,
and was going back to his style of rowing
and rig. Warm of Toronto would boat
and rig him in the old way. He would not
make another match with Teemer until he
could feel his way along, but
had no doubt that when he
regained his old form he would
be master of scullers once more. Early in
the coming season he wanted matches with
Ross, Gaudaur, COnley, Hamm, Laing and
other scullers. He was not at all afraid of
Teemer, but wanted to be in perfect condi-
tiOn when he met him. Plaisted says he
advised Hanlan when his five years are up
to put a breakwater around his island in
Toronto, alter his hotel into an Oarsmen's
snug harbOr and receive with open arms all
the old scullers and crewsmen who wanted
to be taken care of.
"Hanlan is determined to row everybody
before he gets through" said Plaisted. ''but
he realizes that he is no longer champion and
thinks he ought to get in races with other
scullers who are not champions"

WABASH, Ind, March THE third
killing which has taken place in this city
within thirteen months occurred last night,
the murderer being Lawson Story, one of
the pioneers of Wabash county, living two
miles north of this place. and man of 20
years. His victim, Robert Farley, is a
young teamster 90 years of age, and when
sober, an industrious and upright man.
Story came to this city this morning and
drank repeatedly till he reached a condition
in which he was hardly responsible for his
conduct. Shortly before o'clock he
met Farley near the corner of Market
and Wabash streets, and the latter was
also under the influence of stimulants. The
two became engaged in an alteration. and
Early suddenly started toward Story, de-
claring that he would whip him. "Big
Charlie" a character of the town, interfered
at this juncture, and held Farley back,
while Story turned quickly on his heel and
walked up the street. He had proceeded
half block when Early overlook him, and
attempted to strike him. In an instant the
old man drew knife and plunged it

blade and portion of the handle of the
weapon were sunk into the breast of Farley,
passing between the third and fourth
ribs. and barely missing the heart,
severing numerous veins and arteries. With
a groan Early fell heavily to the ground
and Story replaced the knife in his pocket
and returned down the street, where he was
taken in charge by Marshal Ellis and locked
up. Farley was removed to the city hall
A physician Was summoned and hasty ex-
animation satisfied the doctor that the
wound was fatal. Farley died during the
night. The affray caused much excitement
on the streets and is the sole topic of con-
versation. Public opinion is divided in the
matter, though it is conceded that. had
either man been sober the trouble would
not have occurred. Story is man of con-
siderable property and will spend his last
dollar to escape the penitentiary.

c. +. Emory, representing the company.
The labor delegates demanded the discharge
of the day engineer and reinstatement of
the night engineer, and the employment

An impending Strike.

rTTTsBURG. March THE miners with
in the bounds of Federation No. will
strike tomorrow if their wages are not
advanced. The federation comprises the
miners i'm the George Greek region, Nd,
the Elk Garden, w. Va, the Pocahontas,
Va, and the Salisbury and Clearfield, Pa.
The strike will be for 10-cent advance in
the price of digging coal and at least
10000 miners will be affected by it. In
general the strike will affect mines which
ship coal to the East and not those shipping
West. In Meyerdale, or the Salisbury
regions, there are about 4. 500 miners. and
it Is rumored that one firm has granted the
advance. If this be true it is likely that
the remainder will follow this example. At
Irwin's station, Pa, the miners employed
at the Pennsylvania Gas and the West
noreland companies shafts will meet to-
morrow. when it is expected 60 cents per
ton will be demanded for digging. The
present price is 50 cents per ton. There
are not less than 1900 men employed in
the two mines mentioned. Last evening
the drivers employed in these mines held
n meeting at Irwin and concluded TO de-
mand an advance of wages, proportionate
TO that asked by the miners. The drivers
are now getting S1.S5 per day and they
will demand S2.10.
