MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Horrible Double tragedy Brought
to Light in Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 3l.-A horrible double trag
edy was brought to light shortly after mid
night by the police, when the dead bodies OF
Henry Heesch, retired salOonkeeper, and
his wife were found in their apartments at
$50 South Sangamon street Both were well
past middle age and were looked upon by
their neighbors as a happy couple. They
were last seen Saturday evening sitting on
the stoop. Sunday morning a newsboy left
a paper and the milkman the days supply of
milk. Lying neglected at the back door of
the fiat, these objects first attracted the at
tention Of the neighbors. Late last night
one of the neighbors notified the police and
two officers were sent to investigate. They
broke open the front bedroom door and a
sickening sight met their view. In the alcove
of the bedroom, lying in a pool of blood, lay
the dead body of Mrs. Heesch, clad in
night dress. Proceeding to the next
room the neIghbors found the body of
Heesch dangling from the end of a rope, he
emily killed his wife first and then hanged
deed. Everything around the room bespoke
comfort, and there were no indications of a
struggle PRIOR TO the murder and suicide.
Last summer Mrs. Heesch was overcome
by heat, and she never quite recovered from
the effects of the sunstroke. Her friends
think that possibly the heat of Saturday
night may have affected her mind and
brought about insanity which caused quar-
rel between her husband in which he stabbed
her, perhaps in self defense, and then
hanged himself out of remorse.

0IHE HAYIl CONfLAGRATION5
Belief That They Were Caused by
Solomon's Adherents.

SANTIAGO De CUBA, July 3l.-The steam
ship Villa Verde has brought full tidings OF
the great incendary fires that swept Port
Au Prince, the capitol OF Hayti, on the 4th
and 1th insts. The fire commenced in the
chamber of the deputies on the afternoon
of July 4, the balconies and outside passages
upstairs having been set on fire. From that
point it burned down to the rue de arsenal,
sweeping away three squares or blocks of
buildings. This fire destroyed that part of
the city used largely for private residences.
Among them were many valuable and i'm
posing cditices. 1t is now known that the
fires of both days destroyed some eight hun
dred and fifty buildings, causing IA loss of
two million dollars.
The fire of July 7th was in another section
OF the arsenal district. During the afternoon
1t was started in four different localities,
practically at the same instant. IL seems to
be more than coincident that the burned
district should be the section &c 3uped by the
adhcrents of General Manigat and Senator
Legitiine, who started the insurrectonary
movement of May II, 1889, and who have
been expelled. They were too dangerous for
President Solomon to shoot, and he sent them
OFF, but 1t is said that their petty adherents
were crowded into prison. 1t Is believed
that Solomon's own party fred that section
to please him.

KILLEN AND KILRAlN.
An Omaha Man Will Back the
Siasher.

1t has leaked out in New York city that
arrangements have been made for cham
pionshp fight between Jake Kirain and Pat
Kllen. The amount of the stakes have not
yet been definitely fixed, but Killen's back
ers, it is said, are willing to make them
as large as Kilrain or his friends
may desire A prominent New York
sporting man received letter Saturday from
Killen's hacker, an Omaha man, in which
the latter says: "We do not care TO send
Killen out of the country to fight, and as Kill
rain and Mitchell will shortly be the bright
particular stars here, we intend to force
Jake to meet Pat. l will go to New York
on Kilrain's arrival and will take big roll
with me, and if Jake has any fight
in him the match will be made.
If he has not we will claim the worlds belt
and the championship" A representative of
Kilrains hackers was seen, and he said ::
"Neither KlIrain or Mitchell will pay any at
tention to this Omaha mans challenge in be-
half of Killen for as | understand, the Du-
luth Slasher' will insist on Queensbury rules
TO govern, and we will not have anything to
do with him under those rules. All cham
pionship battles for the belt must be under
ring rules.n

GENERAL MANAGERS MEET.
Seeking For a Plan to Harmonize
Their Interests

CHICAGO July 31.-A meeting of general
managers Of the northwestern, western and
southwestern railroads was held to-day at
the Office Of Chairman Fathorn for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon some plan of harmonic
ing the interests of the various lines. The
roads that have been cutting rates between
Chicago and Missouri river points or through
business from the seaboard agreed to restore
rates on August 13. A committee was ap-
pointed to communicate with the managers
of the $500 and ST. Paul e. Duluth roads,
with reference to the establishment of satis-
factory relations regarding competitive traf-
ic. 1t was also provided that representatives
of the Illinois lines should convene on Tues
day of next week to consider and take action
upon rates to and from Illinois points, the OBJ
ject being to place on normal basis the rates
to and from the west, northwest and south.

The general freight agents will convene to-
morrow and continue in session until the
general revision Of rates has been completed.

minority of all the members. The vote re-
suited in the defeat Of the report by 02 noes,
to 81 yeas.
The examination of the vote dscloses tha.
Mr., Dorsey's efforts among his republican
friends availed much for there were many
more democrats who voted against the adop.
ton OF the conference report, and therefore
against the representatives of their party on
the conference committee, than there were
republicans. Upon the announcement of the
result Chairman Dibble moved that the house
continue to insist upon its original DILL and
asked for another conference committee.
This was granted without division and a new
conference will be announced tomorrow.
Within a half hour after the bill was dis
posed of Mr.. McShane arrived at the capitol
and was greatly surprised and disappointed
TO learn what had taken place. He was
paired with Mr.. Laird upon all political ques
tions and the latter, although at the capitol,
aid not vote. Strange, but while the house
was discussing the conference report, the
senate defeated the direct tax amendment to
the slndry civil appropriation bill.
Since the house has refused to adopt the
report of its couferces it will be very difficult
to induce the new conferees on the part of
the house TO accept the senate amendment.
Hopes are entertained, however, by all of
the Nebraska delegation that they may yet
be able to secure the full 81 600 before
the end of the session. This evening Mr..

port during my temporary absence from the
city. | am more annoyed because | was
specifically promised by both Senator
Spooner and Mr.. Dbble, of the conference
committee, that the measure should not be
called up during my absence. l left the
city on Friday for Atlantic City for three
days much needed rest, and was naturally
amazed upon my return to learn that the
matter had been considered in my absence.
] am quite confident, however, that no
damage has been DONE and / put in some
hard work this afternoon in preparing
for the prompt renewal of the report

my friends who voted against the conference
report that they will change their votes, and

FRIGHTFUIi PRIZE FIGHT.
One Contestant Has His Eyes Opened
With n Knife.

New YORK, July 81 Special Telegram to
The BEE. About a hundred steamboat men
left this city on tug last evening for Gut
tenburg, on the North river, where they wit
messed prize fight with shocking features.
The principals were Jack Cummings, of
Brooklyn, five feet nine inches tall 173
pounds, and Frank Masterson, Of Haver-
straw, five feet seven inches, l65 pounds.
Captain John A Hall was referee The purse
was $780, The men fought with bare
knuckles. 1t was the fercest kind
of a fight from start to finish,
Countless blows were ramed on
the face and head of both contestants
until they were covered with blood, and their
features battered out OF shape. A large ma
iority of the hits were on the face. Toward
the thirteenth round Masterson began TO be-
come blind, and he struck out wildly. Cum.
mings played on his eyes until both were shut
up tight The Haverstraw man was sightless
after the thirteenth round. Jim Conian
whipped out a pocket knife, and with the
sharp blade separated the lids OF the plucky
Masterson. With his eyes thus opened the
fighter returned to the fray. During the next
three rounds Masterson braced up wonder
fully. In the sixteenth round he gave his
opponent full arm punch in the stomach, and
won the battle. The appearance Of both men
at the finish was simply ndescribable.

Serious Trouble Feared on the San
Carlos Reservation.
TUCSON, Arz., July 31.-Reports of the
trouble on the San Carlos reservation tend to
show that the Indians have been stealing
cattle and preparing a supply of dried meat
preparatory, it is presumed, to an outbreak.
When the party went to arrest the hostiles
they were fired upon and three Indian scouts
killed The posse returned fire, wounding
several of the band, which Immediately left
the reservation, followed afterwards by 9TH
ers, all going toward the mountains.

Gus troubles resulted from quarrel among
the Indians themselves. Captain Lee re-
manned upon the ground until 4 p. m. to-day,
when he concluded that the Indians were
not disposed to leave and that his further
presence tended to excite them. Captain
Lee then returned to this post. From the

THE COMMERCE. COMMISSION.
Consideration of One Of the Most I'M
pOrtant Gases Yet Presented.

portant Cases Yet Presented.
CHICAGO, July 31.-The Interstate COM
mission, in session here to-day, took up one
of the most important cases that has yet been
brought before that body 1t is the case of
the Detroit board of trade and the Merchants
and Manufacturers association against the
New York Central, Grand Trunk and West
Shore railways. AL the members of the
commission were present. The complaint in
the case is that for a long time the merchants
and business men OF Detroit have suffered by
unjust discrimination in favor of Chicago at
the hands of the roads named. In doing this
the railroads have violated sections /, 2 and
of the Interstate commerce act and We're
amenable, as prescribed in sections IA and Is
of the act. The complaint, in specifying the
particulars of the discrimination alleged,
stated that the Grand Trunk, New York
Central and West Shore railways form
through trunk line from Chicago to New
York and the east, and that their profits in
that class of business are divided among
them. The unit rate, or 100 per cent, was
the rate between Chicago and New York or
all points having the New York rate The
Detroit peoble claim that their proportion
should not exceed ~ per cent, under the long
and short haul clause.

THE ARID LAND MEASURE.
Mr., Plumb's Remarks on the Subject
In the Senate.

WAsuNGToN July 81 In yesterdays de-
bate on Mr.. Bowen's proposition to approprl-
ating 100000 for investigating the extent TO
which the arid region Of the United States
can be redeemed by irrigation, Senator
Plumb said "There is no doubt about the
fruitfulness of that soil There is no doubt
that, supplied with water it will yield boun-
tifully. That we all know, and even If we
had the report, certainly we should not learn
anything of that kind that we don't know
now of the result of this experiment. l know
the fertile brain of these gentlemen, and
suppose the chief of the geological survey
wants another job. We shall hear all about
it on the finest letter press; there will be the
finest pictures the mind of man ever CON
ceved, or the photographers art ever pro-
duced, as the result of it, There will be end
less volumes and cart loads of books, | may
say about it, and there will be employment
for congressmens sons and relatives and
friends. The geological survey is the lying
in hospital of the government. 1t never yet
refused employment to n single relative of a
congressman, or to any one who is supposed
to be influential in regard to obtaining
appropriations, and the appropriations they
ask for are never refused, and, with one eX-
ception, it is the only appropriation made in
the precise terms requested and never
diminished in either house of congress. l
worth, the money that has been expended by
the geological survey, as a rule has been the
worst expenditure since the government was
made. We have heard, of course, a great
deal about ethnoogy, about the disappeared
and disappearing races on the American
continent, large portion of which, in my
belief has been pure invention, just as alb
solutely the work of the brain of man. with
out the basis of fact, as the tales of Mum
schausen."
Senator Stewart defended the director of
the geological bureau and said he was com
petent, energetic and enthusiastic. The
scheme didn't originate in the BRAIN of
Major Powell 1t originated with the scna
tors from Colorado and himself (StewarO.
Mr.. Voorhees, SAID 1.-THE senator (Mr
Plumb) said that the superintendent of the
geological survey almost expects to be in
corporated into the constitution as a part
thereof If he We're there would an acquis-

INDIANAPOLIS, July 3l.-The republicans of

upon our commercial relations with South

steamship lines to the South and Central

was spent in handshakng. General Har-
