MEXICAN EXlLES
Tell Interesting Stories OF Political
COnspirntOrs.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November 49,
There are in 1T. Louis at this time q
nunber OF Mexicans who have been
Obliged to leave their native country
on account OF the failure or discovery
of revolutionary schemes with which
they have been come cted, and in Chi
cagO q larger number OF them are
waiting for the time when change of
administration will enable them to re-
turn In safety to their homes. A most
interesting subject of conversation
among ali OF these Mexic ans has been
the report Of the assa n alton at
Zacetecas, Mexico, of Gen. Garcia
Oadena. G N. Cadens WIS the can
didale against Gen. Polfiiio Disz, for
the Presidency Of the Mexican Repub.
lie in 1883, and has always been re-.
garded by DBE a. an enemy aud a
dangerous man. The report OF his
death was confirmed yesterday, and 1t
was stated in private letter that Gen.
Cadena had been killed by political
enemies who had reason to fear his i'm
auence and his ambition. The exiled
MexiCans here believe that the death
OF this leader removes the most for
midable opponent to the bill now
pending in the Mexican Congress,
which grants President DIas an extern
zion for two years of his term of
Office.

TO his house Wheeler asserted
positively that Patrick Graves and an
other man had committed the murder,
and that he recognized Graves as the
man who assaulted him. Today, be-
fore the Coroner, WHEELER said that
he was not sure that Graves was the

mony which would easily estab ish an

CRIMES And CASUALTIES.
THE TRIAL OF BURRUS, THE
COWARD,
FOR an Assault Upon Two Ladies-A
Man Beaten to Death Other
Crimes and Casualties.

CHICAGO, ILL, November 16.-Asba
J. Burrus, charged With assault with
intent TO kill, was arraigned for trial
before Judge Collins this morning.
The hear ng WIS postponed until 2
O'Clock this afternoon. On the even.
ing OF October %, 1885, Mrs. Goode
and Miss Walters, who were en-
ployed in q commercial agency, hay
ing finished their days work, were
quitting the agency, at No. las Mon
roe street, and on their way home
ward. As they stepped from the door,
Burris, who had been waiting about,
advanced and, producing a pistol, de-
liberately fred at Mrs. Goode. So
close was the range that her veil was
burnt and her face filed with powder.
The shot took effect in her right ear
and, passing entirely through her
head, buried itself in the left facial
bones near the surface. Mrs. Goode
reeled and pitched forward. As che
fell Miss Walters, with a scream,
seized her stricken companion . cloak.
On the instant BurIus fred again, the
bullet meant for Miss Walters striking
her Just In front Of the right ear and
ranging backward until lodged in the
base of the brain. Without word she
dropped to the walk, falling half across
the body Of Mrs. Goode. This tragic
scene, which consumed but q moment
OF time, happened when the street was
filed with people aud flooded with
the light OF hundred gas and electric
lights. BuIrus at once started at q run
down Monroe street to Lasalle, turn
ing then to Madison and running
eastward to Clark, where he was
stopped by policeman. A hundred
shouting citizens had taken up the
pursuit and Burrus was narrowly
saved from lynching before the Har-
rison street patrol wagon arrived. The
two ladies, thought to be mortally
wounded, were carried into neigh.
boring drug store and later transferred
10 the county hospital. In the course
OF weeks, when their wounds had
sufficiently improved, they were re.
moved to the home Of Miss Walters,
at FL Paso, ILL.,, where they have since
remained until brought TO Chicago a
few days ago to appear at the trial.
The difficulty between BurTus and the
women began in ST. Paul, where they
were all three employed in the same
office. Unpleasant relations, savored
with scandslous Misunderstanding,
arose between the man on the one
hand and the two ladies on the other,
until the ladies were transferred, at
their request, from ST. Paul to this
II II
1885, and a month mad scarcely passed
when Burrus came to Chicago and
entered the local agency. Thus again
thrown together the feud was re-
newed.
After a whispered consultation with
his attorney, Mills and Ingham, and
to the surprise Of great many, Bur
rus arose when his name was called
and pleaded guilty to the charge
against him.

REV. E. r. JONES, of Caldwell, who is
charged by Miss Mary Ward, with cons
mitting an abortion. is very well known
in Martins Ferry and this county, being
a partner in the Hoyle-Jones manufac>
turing company of that place. 1t seems
that Rev. Jones always prided himself
on his medical ability, and pracCiced
healing some, but not for pay, but for
the good he might do. After be went to
Caldwell, he lived in the same house
with the Ward sisters, and it seems Miss
Mary fell down stairs and injured her
self, for whicfnshe requested Mr.. Jones
to treat her, which he did in the pres
,-nce of her sister and his wife. Her in
ilries were such that treatment would
produce abortion, and as soon as the
minister found ont her situation. he
would have nothing to do with the case.
and had her call regular practitioner,
All this was last winter, and nothing
more was heard of the case until the
charge was brought compile of weeks
ago. This is the minister's side of the
story, and it is to be hoped it is true. He
IS now under bond of $1,000 for his ap-
pearance at court, and will be tried by
the church also. The broad mantle of
charity should cover the case until we
know what the facts are as developed to
a Jury.

Public School Library.

An important addition has been made
to our public school library by the board
of education. Eighty-two volumes have
been purchased and are now ready for
the readers entitled to them. These have
been selected with great care by the SUI
perintendent of the school aud the pres
ident of the board, and will afford eX
cellent and profitable reading to our
youth. The effort was made to avoid
the dull and uniDteresting, and also the
light, trashy and dangerous, and to Sc
cure such books as our youth can read
with safety and profit, There are now
270 volumes in the library, and with
occasional additions to it of this kind, it
would in few years be worthy of such
reading public as this.
This library is free to all connected
with the school, but in order to extend
its privileges as far as possible, the board
has decided to give all resident gradu-
ates the advantage of 1t. Mr.. Waters
gives his personal attention to 1t, and
has entire control of 1t. The hours for
opening are every Friday from 2 to p
m. Let all readers observe tie printed
library rules.
