The Failure or the EiEht-Hour Biii 20
Pass ana Who.are the Cause orit---
Lawyer Daniels.
Mr.. ]. Daniels, the Washington lawyer
who has been retained by Robert Bennett
10 behalf of the island wOrkmeD. seeking
back pay justly due them under the
eight hour law, has written Mr.. Ben nett
grumbliug letter, 10 which he throws
lame right and left and upon the very
shoulders of those who are most anxious
that the bill should pass. for the failure OF
the bills success thus far, Although no
mention of Mr.. Neece's name is made in
Mr. Daniels letter. the sentiment Of 1t is
evidently construed by some to mean a
reflection upon the ex-congressman from
this district
The ARGUS does dot propose, nor has
it the inclination u display. the same
spirit OF narrow>m inded prejudice that
has been shown by those protesting to be
Mr.. Gest's friends, by charging that gems
tleman with being false to his friends.
We believe that he has been actuated in
his endeavors IN behalf of the working
men by desire to secure the passage Of
a bill securing the remuneration which is
rightly coming to them from the govern
ment. Mr.. Gests intentions may be
good, but he is not. and never will be,
capable of securing the passage OF DILL
serving the ends desired. Furthermore,
had Mr.. Neece been reelected two years
ago, the island men would before this
have achieved that for which they have
so long sought. and not been hoodwinked
by the political triCksters who accom-
plshed Mr.. Gest's nomination by deceit |
and falsehood.
No one can truthfully accuse Mr. Neece |
Of being false to any issue to which he at |
any time lent his support, and the only |
reason that can be attributed to Mr..
Daniels hostility to the eX-congress
nan, if he has any is that Mr., Neecc
never had much confidence in this man
Daniels, and was not slow to condemn
aim as a one-horse lawyer, u lobbyist
and fraud

Unfortunate Accident.

Mr.. Fred Druckmiller, of the city
paint shop of Druckmiler, Lerch 81 Co,
met with an unfortunate accident this
morning which will corfine him to his bed
for some time, if it does not effect more
serious injury. He was coming down
the avenue from Moline, shortly before
noon, when his horse took fright at los
connective, and becoming unman-
ageable Mr.. Druckmiler leaped from
the wagon, but his feet be-
came entangled in the lines and he was
dragged under the horses heels for sew
eral blocks. As soon rs the horse could
be stopped Mr.. D. was picked up and
conveyed to his home on Fifth avenue
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets,
where Dr. s. G. Plummer. Jr, attended
him and upon invt stIgation found Il
small bone of the right leg near the
instep fractured, the left hand
and bearing the imprint
of the horses hoof. deep cut on the
right side of the head and the right side
badly bruised. Unless the patient has
suffered internal injuries not apparent at
present, the doctor does not anticipate
very serious outcome of the accident.

THE BURGLAR WAS SLAIN.
a Well-Khown Young Man Attempts I
Murder and Rob IA Farmer.

a wen-Khown Young Man Attempts to
Murder and Rob Farmer.
A most sensational attempt at robbery and
murder, resulting in the killing of burglar
near Stilesville, Hendricks county, occurred
early Saturday evening.
Jesse Mason is prosperous farmer living
two miles from Stilesville. Saturday he took
some produce 20 town and received check for
500 in payment. lie reached home early
in the afternoon. After the evening meal Mr.
Mason, his two daughters and son almost
grown sat around large fire that burned bright
ly in an open crate.
A little after o'clock steps were heard APP
preaching the house. A light but distinct rap
heard at the door. Mr. Mason arose and an
swered il. He saw man without who said:
"Will you please get me some matches?
Mr. Mason turned 10 60 back into the room
10 get them, when the man, with face masked
sprang quickly and lightly inside and struck
Mr.. Mason on the head with a revolver The
blow staggered him and the burglar was in the
act OF repeating the blow when the two
daughters, who had been stupehed and alarmed
by the entrance OF the robber, rushed TO their
fathers rescue. struggle ensued, when
second man from the yard fired into the house
The fear OF hitting his pal perhaps rendered
his aimwild and the shot took no elect
Young Mason had rushed 10 his room on the
entrance Of the burglar and secured his shot
gun. lie returned just as the shot was fired
In order that he might not hurt his sisters, who
were struggling with their fathers assailant
he stuck the muzzle OF the gun over the shout
der of one of them and fired.
The muzzle was almost touching the burg.
lars neck and his head was almost blown from
his body.
The man in the yard rushed to the door and
fred at Mason, but one of the daughters
knocked down the weapon in time TO save her
fathers life. The burglar then seized the body
of his dying companion and dragged him from
the house out 10 the fence, some little distance.
He then took flight and had not at last reports
been caught
After the Mason family had become convinced
that the uninjured rObber had departed, they
procured lights and followed the trail to the
fence, where they found that young Mason's
shot had taken fatal effect and the would-be
robber was already dead. 1t was probably the
discovery of this fact which led his companion
to seek safety in fight.
When the mask was removed from the face
of the dead man he was at once recognized as
Logan York, a well-known young man of the
own, belonging TO highly respected family.

Prime mercantile paper 4A@61s; sterling ex-
change dull; steady at 1891 for sixty-day bills
and 1914 for demand. The sales of stock to-day
were IL, l75 shares. The stock market was
dull and weak to-day, the rallies being slight
and ofshort duration, bile the movement in the
list, except in Il few itading stocks, were small
and generally unim,ortant. The pressure was
principally against the grangers, which were
sold on the gloomy views OF the situation taken
by the vice-president of the Northwestern
road, which induced the bears and traders, who
have again got over to the side of lower figures
to make drive at those stocks, although there
was some selling for the foreigners and some
long stock was thrown over by small holders
who nave grown tired of carrying their load
The dealings, however, were almost entirely
professional, the disposition to operate being
very small among the most influential
sales Of spectators. Among the
active list, however, Lackawanna, New
England and Missouri Pacific showed marked
weakness at times and all are materially lower
this evening on a very moderate business. The
continued weakness in Atchison was not with
out its effect in creating distrustful feeling.

opening figures were from "A TO y per cent.

there was no animation whatever in the regu-
lar list outside of ST. Paul and New England,

the market in point OF activity. Cotton OIL was
again active and strong, but it had little or no
effect upon the rest of the stocks traded in.
Extreme dizziness marked the trading after the
first hour and AtchlsOn and burlington d
Quincy became features on account OF their
marked weakness. The amount of business
done continued to show decrease until toward
delivery hour when the list displayed
some strength, though the advantage was
quickly lost in the last hour and the market
closed dull and weak NJ or near the lowest
prices of the day. The active list is almost in
variably lower this evening" and AtchisOn lost

day, with generally steady to firm tone and
a well distributed business. There was no
special activity except in st. Lonis, Arkansas
a. Texas firsts, which furnished $4,000 to the
days total of 81, $4,000. The final changes are
irregular, but advances are in a majority and
the principal gain was Great Western tirsts,

Lake Shore firsts, 3 to ll2. Government bonds
were dull and heavy. State bonds were en-
tirely NEGLECTED.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The wheat market to-
day ruled heavy, and prices suffered material
decline all around. The offerings in the first
place were quite large, and besides other in
tluences were OI a beaTish character. prom
inent local trader, who has figured on the bull
side, was credited with being the principal
seller. At the same time while the offerings
were large there was but little demand TO meet
the offerings, and a sharp break resulted The
opening was IC12c lower than Saturdays clos
ing, and with small fluctuations declined $40
more and May 12Sc more, then rallied ne,
nuctuated some and closed DC lower for Decem-
Der aud 33<c lower for May than Saturday. The
weakness was influenced some by the liberal
receipts at Minneapolis, and also increased ar
rivals at interior and winter wheat markets.
The corn market was moderately active but
weaker, and prices lower. The opening was
unsettled at the same figures as Saturday s
close, broke AG11c for October and November
and Ne for May, rallied HG&c, but weakened
and declined l5sc, rallied Ne, and closed quiet
at inside prices. The feeling in the speculative
oats market was weak and EC12sc lower prices
prevailed and trading eentered mainly in May.
Trading was somewhat limited in mess pork
and prices were irregular, within small range.
January met with most favorable, no particular
pressure to sell, and inquiry light. Sales were
made early at 2I3(g5c advance, but receded
again 20Cd25c and closed quiet with only fair
business transacted in lard. Early the
feeling was a trihe stronger and prices
were slightly advanced. Later there. was a
little inclination TO sell, especially the near de-
liveries and prices receded 1O(gl2lzc. The
different deliveries showed steadiness and only
receded 2xc from outside figures reached.
Very little interest was manifested in the mar.
ket for short-rib Sides barely sufficient trading
