of st. Joe, Fatally Shoots His Wife.
CLEVELAND. o., Jan. 30.--A tragic
suicide occurred at a prominent hotel In
this city at moor Sunday. Eugene Tafel.
principal of the Fulton street school,
Columbus, O., who had absconded with
$500 of the teachers money, blew his
brains out. He arrived at the hotel late
Saturday night, and after registering I'M
der al assumed name, was assigned to E
room. He had breakfast at a late hour
in the afternoon, and afterwards walked
up quietly to his room. A few minutes
after he had entered his apartment a
chambermaid in an adjoining room was
startled by the sound of a pistol shot.
She ran out into the hallway, and sum
moned the clerk and porter. Tafei's
door was found to be locked, and the
porter climbed over the transom. He
saw the occupant of the room lying on
the floor with a smoking revolver tightly
ciutched in his hand. The door was
tnen FORCED open. n man was dead.
Blood was ooz ing from two wounds, one
in each temple, and a slight search was
sufficient to find the bullet lying on the
carpet near the bed. Several letters
were found in the room, among them
one addressed to Rev. Mr.. Spahr, presi-
dent of the Columbus board of educa-
tiop, in which he confessed that he had
lost all the money stolen in gambling.
He said there were only two alternatives,
pe%nitentiary or death, and he chose the
latter.

newed a month ago, since which time q
number of persons of each party have
been killed and there does not seem to be
eny prospect of peace. In order to pro-
tect the good people of the county, and to
stop this feud, two messengers reached
here from Logan county to see Gov.
Wilson and ask for aid to repeal the inya-
sion of the Kentucky desperadoes in that
county. They had a conference with the
governor, and gave him a detailed state-
ment of the situation of affairs in that
county. They represent that there are
no hopes of the civil officers OF. Logan
county being able TO control these men.
The Pike county gang is reported to be
increasing, and the lives of several of the
citizens of Logan county are threat
ened. Governor Wilson has the
matter under advisement. While he
still hopes that order may be restored
notwithstanding to extraordinary means.
he is determined to employ prompt and
adequate measures to maintain the honor
of this state. Three militia companies
of this state have proffered their services
to aid in suppressing the troubles.

Davitt,s Advice.

DUBLIN, Jan. 80. = Michael Davitt,
speaking at Rathkeale, Sunday, advised
the tenants of Lord Guilamore not to ac-
cept the offer made to them to purchase
their farms, because heavy burdens would
soon accrue and mortgages would turn
the farms orer to other hands, and also
because Lord Guilamore had evicted two
tenants from his estate. Mr.. Dayitt said
thai he considered the tenants of the
farms thus made vacant, cowardly,
Shiny renegades. They were social lep-
ers, contact with whom should be CON
sidered a stigma. The cardinal object of
Irish agitation was the total uprooting
of landlord and landlordism.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Tn the hospital
for the ruptured and crippled, at Licking
ton avenue and Forty-second streets,
there are 100 crippled children under
treatment. About 6:45 Sunday evening
the younger of these children were in
bed, others were preparing to retire, and
a few of the older children We're eating
their supper in the basement. Two of
the latter, Louisa Fielding, aged twelve,
and Mary Greedy, aged ten, started up
stairs to go to bed. On reaching the sec
opd story they were suddenly enveloped
in clouds of smoke. Both children are
suffering from spinal diseases, aud can
walk only with difficulty. Without
screaming or manifesting fright in any
way, they hurried as rapidly as possible
to the third floor, found a nurse, Ellen
Dougherty, and told her the building
was on fire. The NJ Sc told them not to
tell any of the children, and sent chem
to their rooms She then sent
word by an assistant to Matron
Webber, who in turn notified
DR.. Gibbney, through whom an
alarm was sent ont as rapidly as posi-
bic. The doctors, nurses, police and fire.
men,, as well as a number of citizens,
carried the children from the building.
The guests in the Vanderbilt hotel, oppo-
site, gave up their rooms, and l43 of the
little sufferers were put to bed there.
The others found shelter in private
houses in the vicinity. There was much
excitement among the spectators in the
streets, among whom it was rumored
that several of the children had been
burned to death. Fortunately, all the
children were removed in safety. Mean
while the iremen fought the flames end
subdued them. The fire had originated
in a bath room on the first floor from
some unknown cause. The damage is
estimated at $23t 600. When the fire had
been exunguished the ~lifeless body of
Mary Donnelly, a cook in the hospital,
forty-iye years old, was found in her
room on the fifth floor, where she had

CHICAGO, Jan. 30,--A howl of indigna-

@. L. Rickett, one of the boarders, had
gone before the grand jury and testified
against Mrs. Rawson, charged with com
plicity in the attempted murder of
Banker Rawson. In fact, they were SO
incensed in tho matter that they de-
manded the expulsion of Rickett from
the hotel, and the proprietor, through
fear of an exodus, told Rickett he need
not wait on ceremony, but go at once.
Rickett ordered his trunk sent after him.

The Big Tower.

LONDON, Jan. 0.-Now the wiseacres of
Paris are congratulating themselves
that they gave expression to their incred-
ulty when Engineer Eiffel proposed his
stupenduous tower. Sunday afternoon
the promoters of the project were thrown
into a state of CONSERVATION by the report
that the tower was in serious danger of
falling. The new danger is due to the
bursting of the big water reservoir at the
base of the tower. Mr.. Eiffel himself adj
mits the necessity Of strengthening the
structure, and will proceed with this plan
in view. A committee of engineers are
consulting about the feasibility Of at
tempting to build the tower a thousand
feet higher, and it is likely that a negative
conclusion will be reached.

A REVOLUTIONIST'S PLEA.
PRAYING FOR REJECTION or 4 PRO
POSED ExTRADITIoM TREATY.

stephniak5 Declares ratification of the
Extradition Treaty Between Russia and
the United States Will BE wholesale
Conformation to Capital Punishment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 36.-A plea for the
rejection of the proposed extradition
treaty between the Russian and United
States governments has been sent TO Sem
ator Joseph #. Hawley, of Connecticut,
and Mr.. p. S. Heath, a newspaper CORE
spondent of this city, by Serius III.
Stephniak, the Russian nihilist and reyo-
%lutionist, now located In London, whom
these gentlemen met in Russia last sum-
mer. Stephniak makes a request that
the matter be laid before the senate com
mittee on foreign relations. and it is CON
sidered one of the strongest, If not the
most violent, arguments that could be
made against the alliance between this
and the Russian government. Stephniak
says thatifthe projected treaty is ratified
by the American senate, it will be a
wholesale condemnation to capital pun
ishment, and worse, OF any number OF
Russian patriotic people, designated as
Nihilists, who seek refuge from the
despotism OF the car. He compared the
Nihilistic party in Russia with the Irish
N~ationalists, or Home-Rulers. The Rus
slans want to overthrow the czar's des-
potism, to brsas the autocratic bu-
reancracy, to establish a national
representative assembly, or n gov
ernrhent by the people-an object
similar to that which the Irish are striy-
ing forsin their native country under the
title of home rule, and which Stephniak
says. receives the plaudits of the Ameri-
can people. Stephniak cites the fact that
nearly all .Americans who visit the czar's
country become sympathizers with the
revolutionists there, and not only write
and speak against Russian despotism, but
actually tender outside assistance. Steph-
MAX declares that regicide, and political
assassination In general, are not the only
forms OF activity of the Russian rebels or
Nihilists. They publish and circulate
clandestine papers and pamphlets, and
the effective men inc women do not de-
fend the principle Of assassination.
