KIND TO MOORE.
Mrs. Norton Looking After the Ex-

ST. LOUIS, July 15.-Judge Henry D.
Laughlin, the attorney of John w. Nor
ton, arrived here to-day from Topeka,
and held conference with Mr.. Norton.
He expresses the opinion that
Judge Guthrie will decide the
habeas corpus case against Mr.
Moore and. that the latter
will be brought back to st. Louis. The
Judge would neither admit nor deny
that he came here to have alleged in
formaljties in the papers for Moore's
arrest corrected, but it is believed that
he did. He will return to Topeka as soon
as Judge Guthrie informs him when he
will deliver his decision. Mr.. Norton's
health is much improved, and he is still
determined to prosecute Moore to the
full extent of the law, and Judge
Laughlin asserts that Moore will surely
be returned; if not from Kansas he will
that Mrs. Norton took away from
st. Louis $500 in money and
$4,000 in notes, $1,000 in other securities
and some diamonds and other jewelry {:
that Moore had between $500 and $500
money,and that 1900 is still unaccount-
ed for. Dispatches from Topeka to-
night say there no new developments in
the case to-day. Moore remains in Jail,
and Mrs. Norton is deporting her
self with the utmost propriety
and is extremely careful to give no
further cause for gossip. She remains
quietly at their hotel and sees but few
callers. She still clings steadfastly to
Moore and will stay in Topeka as long
as he does. She visits him at the Jail,
looks after the preparation of his meals,
which are sent to him from the hotel,
and contributes to his comfort in every
way that she can.

Hoos1ER BLooDsHED.
Two Fatal Shootings in the State
of Gen. Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July ia seri-
GUS shooting affray occurred here TO-
night, in which William Dunn, mar
ried man employed at Kingan's pork
house, was probably fatally wounded.
Four men were engaged in converse
ton, when Dunn approached the group
and made a remark about Gen.
Harrison. One of the men,
Frank Ernshaw, remarked that
Sunday was no time to talk politics,
whereupon Dunn responded that he
could whip Ernshaw or any man in the
crowd. Robert Hardpense took excep-
ton to this remark, when Dunn struck
at him, but missed, and, upon a second
attempt, HardpenSe drew revolver and
fired, the ball entering just above
Dunn's right eye. Dunn was removed
to hospital, where he lies unconscious.
Hardpense was arrested. Both
men were under the influence of
liquor, and no cause is assigned
Tor the shooting, except sudden anger.
George w. Freerrand, farmer, resid-

latter retreated, at the same time warn

to advance, and Freerrand drew re-

Naples in the breast just above the
heart, causing death in a few minutes.

THEY LEFT The CHURCH.
The Pope's Encyclical Creates Much
Feeling In Ireland.
ONE CONGREGATIONS ACT.
The Pope Says the Bishops Must Remove
the Misconeeption Regarding a.
the Decree. g.

DUBLIN, July ia papal encyclical
was read to-day in all the churches of
the diocese of Dublin. 1t is stated that
the pope was grieved to learn that
meetings had been held in Ireland
whereat dangerous opinions regarding
his recent decree had been uttered. The
statement was made that the de-
cree had been prepared without
sufficient inquiry. On the contrary.
the decree was based on the most
complete information obtainable. The
pope had held interviews with the
bishops of Ireland, and sent trusted
delegate to Ireland to observe for him
self. The pope reiterateS his affection
for the Irish. He has always urged
them, says the encyciical, to keep within
the bounds of justice and right. The
bishops must remove the miScon-
ceptiOn regarding the decree and leave
no doubt of its force. The whole
system of the plan of campaign and
boycotting is condemned as unlawful.
A letter written by Archbishop Walsh
accompanied the encylical, which says
that the agitation referred to has now
ended under the resolutions of the
bishops. Hope has arisen during the

ton among the people. The communi-
cantS in the church at Bray were so
offended that they got up and left the

Lip after lip, pressed once to thy lip, press
The bitter brim of fate's black cup; and be
Sad in thy splendor. with such loneliness
AS deserts know not, nor the lileless main;
The earth around thee will grow old and

Thy kingdom pass; thy fields fall wild

But thou-too favored-shalt be young

up in his rear and attacked his legs.
His situation was terrible, and as the
moments passed he realized that he was

more than he gained in the battle, he de-
cided to abandon the fight and make
what haste he could to the camp where
he might obtain salvation through the
fire that would be burning about that
time for the preparation of dinner. Not
stopping for his trousers or other arti-
cles of clothing, he dropped the bush
and ran. His speed was nothing to the
limited mail time the mosquitoes made.

AN ADROIT SWINDLER
Makes New York Stock Broker.
Considerable Trouble.

New YORK, July 15.-Richard Stone.
alias Frederick Livock, handsome and
adroit swindler, who has fleeced several
Wall street brokers, has been run down
by Inspector ByrneS. He recently came
from Philadelphia. where he lived at
1902 Walnut street, and it is feared he
has played a similar game on the brokers
of that city. He called on President
Williams. of the Northern Pacific rail
road, and said he had just arrived from
England with S125,0C0 spare money,
which he desired to put in preferred
stock of that road. Mr.. Williams said he
did not do stock brokerage, but gave
him note to Gold, Barbour q Corning,
of Is Wall street, who, on the strength
of the note, received him with open
arms. They purchased 500 shares for
him at 5415. 1t fell, and as the margin
was not covered, they sold. Meanwhile,
Stone went to Tewksbury 81 Co. and
said he had this stock at the office of
Gold, Barbour ~ Corning for sale. Not
fearing any difficulty about delivery,
they sold it on an advance OF SAX. They
will have to purchase this stock else
where for delivery. He was then
learned to be a Swindler and was az
rested. Decker, Howell d Co., Harvey.
Fisk IL Co. and Whittenham q Co. are
among his other victims.
