HIS HEART WAS BROKEN. s
The Girl at Appleton, Wis, Takes
IT tPhiIOSODhiCallV.

APPLETON, Wis.,, April 12.-The
postponement of the COllett-McGlllan
marriage is leading topic of conversa-
ton here. Collett is a travelling man
who lives in Green Bay, and stands
well in society there. Miss MCCLELLAN
is highly respected, of prepossessing
appearance, and belongs to one of the
best families in Appleton. For over
year Collett has been paying her marked
attention. His suit has been opposed
by her parents, and the engagement
has been broken twice by the young
lady, but Collett came back each time,
saying it was matter of life and death
with him. 1t appears now that as soon
as he got to Green Bay he would tell
Miss Kulp that he was dead in love
with her. Collett then set the day
himself for his marriage with
Miss MCCLELLAN, and instructed the
priest to publish the bans, which must
be done for three consecutive SabbathS.
Last Sunday the last announcement was
to have been made, and Tuesday morn
ing the wedding was to have taken
place. All the preparations for the
event had been made, and an elaborate
trousseau finished, part of which had
been made according to the dictates of
his taste. He even gave her wedding
present of a gold watch, when he must
have known that the wedding could not
take place. Saturday night dispatch
was received by the resident priest from
the bishop, fOrbidding the further pub
fishing of the bans. Mr.. MCCLELLAN tele-
graphed for Collett, he came, and de-
MED that there was anything wrong.
Monday the parents went to Green Bay
to find out the true status of affairs,
and there at the bishops house met
Collett and Miss NOrah Kulp. Miss
Kulp stated to the bishop that
Collett had been engaged to her
for four years, and had been constantly
courting her, and that she refused to
give him up. Collett stood near and
cried and said that his heart was broken.
According to the rules of the church,
the bishop forbade the marriage in the
presence of the Appleton friends. Col
lett was terribly detected. In their abb
sence it was quite the contrary. 1t is
thought that his mind is affected. Col
let's mother and sisters opposed the
marriage, wanting him to marry Miss
Kulp, who is the daughter of wealthy
citizen of Green Bay. Miss MCCLELLAN
received very affectiOnate letter from
him this morning, from Milwaukee,
asking her to forgive him. Her mother
answered it. She also received an
anonymous letter from Green Bay, in
lady's hand, expressing sympathy, etc.
Miss MCCLELLAN was Frustrated by the
first shock, but appears to take it very
philOsophically to-day.

THE WAVERLY MURDER.
Billings Takes the Stand and
Tells His Story.

Special to the Globe.
WAvERLY. To-, April 12.-The ninth
day of the Billings trial has been con-
tinued in the examination of the de-
fendant. Billings was brought on to
the stand last evening, and in view of
the fact that he would be brought on
again to-day, the crowd in the court
room has been suffOcating. Many la
dies were present, though as the testi-
mony Gf his rambling story could be so
called became more and more shock
ing to refined feelings, they dropped
out in little knots, and once in ludi-
crous hurry as Billings began to tell
the particulars of the act which he
SAYS he saw between his wife
and Kingsley while he was peeping
through the shutters at them. The
direct examination which begun last
evening terminated at IL to-day, and
the accused was turned over to the not
very tender mercieS of the counsel for
the state in conducting the crOsS-eXam-
ination, and who made a very successful
attempt to destroy the marvellous supply
of information which the defendant is
perfectly willing to impart. Billings
be "Smart," and in nearly every in
stance eyaded and miscOnstrued the
questions propounded to him, until on
repeated occasions the court had to
urge him to give responsive answers.
The evidence is rehaSh of his teSti
mOny before the cOronOr'S jury and COM
mitting magistrate, with several addi-
tiOnS and corrections and reviSiOnS as
we'll, to harmonic with some of the wit
nesses examined by the defense yester-
day. While Billings has changed and
remOdeled some of the statements given
Immediately after the tragedy,
HIS MEMORY HAS IMPROVED
in many respects, but his statements
to-day were weak and as ambiguous as
ever as to the preparations of the notes,
mortgages and other instruments of ex-
tOrtiOn which he had drawn up for
Kingsley to sign. He denied of ever
threatened to kill Kingsley, testified to
by c. w. Brown, Emily Shane, E. w.
Risdon and DR.. Boyer. He identified
belonging to deceased, and took appar-
ent delight in reiterating the statement
that he had seen il in Kingsley's posses
sion many times while he occupied
portion of Kingsley's office, and in many
other instances the witness demeaned
himself in manner which convinced
the court that he was prevaricating, and
that his statements in some instances
were utterly unworthy of belief. Bill
ings. as lawyer, is thoroughly ac-
quainted with all the techni
calitieS of cross eXamina-
tion, and he was keen and
shrewd in his answers to the inter-
rogatOries of the counsel for the state.
who at the adjournment of court had
not yet fairly begun their cross-exami-
nation. This lOng-winded story of
Billings was born in the imagination of
the author when Kingsley first came up
for office and whose election he bitterly
opposed. Billings assumed hatred of
Kingsley suddenly vanished after the
latter's election, and he at once worked
himself into the confidence of Kingsley
simply to further his purpose of ruin
ing Kingsley's character, as has already
been proven, and in case they fail to
convict him for murder they have
clear case of blackmail in reserve.

Cora is Really Married.

Special to the Globe.
FOREST CITY, Dak., April 12.-The
Chaska-Fellows affair is by this time
stale news, but seems to be matter of
conjecture yet. In personal interview
with the ''white squaw' last Saturday
she told your correspondent the sensa-
tiOnal reports about paternal objections
and literary work were all ICES. She
married Chaska on the 24th of March
simply because she wanted to, and was
old enough to know what she wanted.
The report of the groom being half
breed is also false. There may be
slight trace of white blood, but it is too
slight to be visible. He is very dark,
tall, ungainly and ,pock-marked, but
will continue teaching for the present.

The River and Harbor Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-An attempt
will be made in the house Monday to
pass the river and harbor bill under
suspension of the rules. The speaker
has agreed to recognize Mr.. Blanchard
to make the motion. The matter was
considered by leaders of the party and
it was concluded that this would be the
safest plan to be followed. as the chances
of the appropriation being increased by
the house would be leSSened. The un-
derstandIng is that the bills having
special arrangements, which have lost
their day by the deadlock will not re-
cover their position. There may be one
or two that will get time after the tariff
bill is disposed of, but the general pur-
pose appears to be to let them drop.
Tomorrow will be private bill day,
and it is not certain but there will be
session Saturday. Monday is commit
the suspension day, and Tuesday the
tariff bill is to be called up. The last
named, it is supposed, will be the regu-
lar order until disposed of, although de-
bate may give way at some period to let
an appropriation bill slip through.
There is some talk among the Repub-
licans of filibustering against the tariff
bill, but it is not general.

THE MESSAGE.
Senator Coke Makes a Strong Ad.
dress on the Tariff Question.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The motion
to refer the presidents annual message
was taken up in the senate and MIR.
Coke proceeded to address the senate.
He began by speaking of the surplus of
sl40,OOO,OOO in the treasury, and said
that the causes which took that money
needlessly from the pockets of the peO-
pie and the channels of trade Ito the
enfeeblement of every branch of in
dustry) were continuing and produced
more aggravated results each year. 1t
was easy to see that unless the causes
were removed or greatly modified, it
was only a question of time when
calamity, fatally revolving all the in
dustrial interests of the country, must
follow. In view of this emergency,
so full of evil pOrtent to the coun-
try, the president had, in wise
and bold message, urgently recon-
mended such a revision of the tariff
and reduction of duties on imports as
would reduce the revenues to the limit
required for the support of the govern
ment. In this the president was simply
yoicing a demand that came from the
people of the whole country. Speaking
of the internal reuenue, Mr.. Coke said
tobacco were luXurieS, not neceSSaries,
that the revenues collected from them
went directly into the treasury Qess the
percentage of $40 for cost of cOllec-
tom: and that the internal revenue tax
was to that extent a clear gain to the
treasury. 1t added nothing to the cost
of food, clothing, shelter or other items
3of living, while it operated as measure
of repression upon the excessive and in
furious use of the article.
CONSUMERS DID NOT COMPLAIN
of that tax, and it was not strange that
the president should recommend its re-
tendon, undiminished and that the
necessary reduction of revenue be made
by cutting down the tariff taxes. If the
reduction should be made in this way, S.
of tribute paid by the people to the
manufacturers would be cut off for
every dollar cut off from the revenue.
The tariff out of which these results
grew was the most m0nStrOuS system of
the taxation that this or any other cOun-
try had ever known. This high tariff
protection was universally defended on
American labor against European pau
Der competition. This was all that there
was of the protection argument; and no
effort was made to place it on any
other ground. But. more false,
heartless and groundless pretext had
never been invented to justify OF cover
up great wrong. A clearer case of
s.stealing in the livery of heaven to serve
the devil" was not to be found in
history. The capitalist, the manufac-
turer, the man who hired and employed
labor realized, through the tariff, from
one and a-half to five times as much as
the laborerreceived. They became rich
while
THE LABORER REMAINED POOR.
a reduction of the tariff to strictly
revenue standard would cheaper the
cost of manufactured products. and to
that extent diminish the cost of living. 1t
would open the markets Of the world to
the American manufacturer, and the
American laborer would, in common
with the whole people, have the full
benefit thereof. But it was on the farm

Preparing For the Worst.

Special to the Globe.
WAUsAU, Wis, April 12.-The ice in
the Wisconsin above this place is in
some places from four to five feet, and
great fears are entertained that the thin
ice will break up and lodge against this,
thus forming natural dam that will
hold back vast quantity of water.
Should this occur and then give away,
the whole mass would come sweeping
down the river carrying everything be-
fore it. Mill owners and lumbermen are
preparing for the worst, and are getting
everything i'll readiness to meet the
flood. The same thing occurred at
Grand Rapids, forty miles below here,
in the river yesterday and thousands of
dollars damage was done. The morning
train from the South on the st. Paul
road has not yet arrived, owing to a
bridge between here and Tomah having
been swept away by the high water and
floating ice.
