Prot. f. j. Stanton brings a pretty
good story from Silver Crown. His son
Frank, who lives on a ranch near the
mining camp, visited his chicken coop the
other morning and was surprised and dis
gusted to learn that during the previous
night some "varmint" had killed nineteen
of the fowls. On suspicion he followed
the trail of a wild cat and placed a load of
shot in Its anatomy, but without fatal
effect. He at once set a trap for the ami
NAL and was delighted by finding it i'm
prisoned in the steel clamps the following
morning. Around the cats neck was a
leather collar, attached to which was a
small bell. 1t had been somebody's pet.

A TERRIBLE DEED.
N. B. Wade Murders His Mother
and Mrs. Gates
He Then Fires the House to
Cover His Crime.
Robbery the Cause of the
Double Murder.
a Horrible Double Murder.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. Sat Knights
town this morning about 2 o'clock the
frame dwelling of n. B. Wade, occupied
by Mrs. Sarah Higgins This mother), and
Mrs. Martha Gates, situated south OF the
railroad, was discovered on fire. After
breaking open the door Wade was found
unconscious at his mothers bed. He
was taken out but died in a few minutes.
His mother was dead before taken out.
Mrs. Gates was not found until her LINKS
and arms we're burned off, and she died
in a short time. A shoe knife covered
with blood and a bottle of paris green
were taken from Wade's pocket, and the
indications are that he murdered the two
women and then committed suicide, the
testimony before the coroner tending to
substantiate this theory.
Mrs. Gates was the widow of a soldier
and resided with Mrs. Hoggins, who had
reared her from a child. In 1876 Mrs.
Gates was granted 81 400 arrearage of
pension aud a regular pension of $40 a
month. Wade illegally assumed her
guardianship and appropriated the none
to his own credit. Recently she COM
planned to the G.. A. r. post of her treat
ment by Wade. A legal guardian was
appointed and it was found that Wade
had appropriated her money.
To-day Wade would have been CONS
PEELED to account for the money and it IS
presumed that he had been brooding over
the matter so much that he became part
ly insane, went to his mothers house last
night and after numbering Mrs. Gates set
fire to the house. He is then supposed
to have taken a large dose of Paris Green
and thrown himself into the flames.

Sworn In.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Chief Justice
Fuller took the oath of Office and assumed
the active duties of his position to-day.
An hour before the time for opening the
court the narrow space allotted to the
general public in the court chamber was
crowded by men and women. Among
the people of note present was Judge
Thurman, who was conducted to a seat
within the space reserved for the marshal,
and who became a conspicuous center OF
attraction during the entry of the Justice.
The chief justice arrived at the capitol
at 1880 a. m, and proceeded to the pri-
vate office of the court, where he took the
oath of allegiance in the presence of the
associate justices, the oath being admins
tered by the senior member of the court,
Associate Justice Miller. At II o'clock
he associate justices entered in process
sion, Justices Gray and Mathews being
absent as usual. The chief justice, wear
ing the robe of Office, was escorted to a
place at the clerks desk, and the clerk
read the commission, after which Judge
Fuller arose, and holding a bible in
one hand, read from manu-
script the oath of office.
L, Melville eSton Fuller, do solemn
ly swear Tor afirm) that [ will administer
Justice without respect to persons and do
equal right to poor and to rich, and that
L will faithfully and impartially discharge
and perform all the duties incumbent on
me as chief justice of the United States
according to the best of my ability and
understanding agreeable to the constitu-
ton and laws OF the United States, so
help me God"
His voice was clear and his enunciation
firm n distinct at the beginning, but be-
fore the end was reached Il marked tremor
was manifest.
The chief justice was now escorted be-
hind the bar and to his official seat in the
center. Again the court and assemblage
arose, this time without any other sum
mons than a wave of tie hand by the
clerk. Justice Miller took the hand of
the chief Justice, and with a smile of well
come addressed him 10 a low voice:
Il welcome you, sir, on behalf of this
court, as one of its members and its chief
Justice"
The chief justice bowed. took his seat
and proceeded to hear an application for
admission to the bar. At the conclusion
of this ceremony the court adjourned in
order that the members might pay their
respects in a body to the president of the
United States.

The street Car Strike.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-The cars were start
ed over the North Side lines at 1880 this
morning. Cars drawn by horses aud
manned by about a dozen policemen each
left the city limits and other car barrs
destined for the business center. The
cars were not molested by the strikers
and the many onlookers gathered around
the barns.
The down trip was made successfully
and without any mishaps to speak of.
although the cars were somewhat ham,
pered by a crowd of vehicles which took
up the tracks. Comparatively few people
rode in the cars.
General Manager Parsons of the West
Division Railway company, said late this
afternoon hat all hope of avoiding the
strike of conductors and drivers on his
division in sympathy with the north
division strikers had been abandoned, and
he had no doubt that the men would quit
work at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
A resolution was adopted by the city
council tonight ordering an inquiry as to
whether the North Side company had
not forfeited its charter in failing to run
cars during Saturday and Sunday. West
Side car men gathered to night at their
headquarters awaiting the report of the
conference in the mayors Office. At mid
night the feeling among the men was that
an extension of the strike at daylight was
still the most probable outcome.

Jack Hamm was at a remote period in
the history of Cheyenne a sober and in
dustrious wheelwright. By untiring de-.
votion to the flowing bowl he has reached
that stage where his only practical use is
in doing some misdeed which may be
noted in the daily press. Poor Jack is a
hopeless drunkard and a pretty tough
customer when intoxicated. His latest
offense is more serious than any of his
former violations of the rules of the realm,
and punishment in the form OF imprison.
ment in the county jail will probably be
visited upon him. He is charged with
the assault of an old German who owns a
truck garden lust beyond the southeast
city limit line.

The Deficiency Bill.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Conferees en-
the general deficiency bill have reached
an agreement on the only remaining point
of difference, that relating to the woman's
industrial home at Utah. They make an
appropriation for the completion of the
building according to the present plans,
and provide $4,000 for furnishing the
building and maintaining it the next fiscal
year. The work of the institution will be
under the management Of the Utah com
mission, and provision is made for the
report of the operation for the auditing of
the expenses of the home. The title to
the building will be transferred to the
United States.

ton in the state of chihuahua, denies the

Mormon immigration. The general sen.
timent is averse to it.

BlaIne's Tour.

DETROIT, October S.-The Blaine
party, composed of James G. Blaine,
Walker Blaine, Gen. King, Gen. Alger,
Col. Moves, Mai. Hopkins, Gen. MILL
ken, James H. Stone and several other
prominent Republicans, left by a special
train for Grand Rapids. Blaine said that
he now finds no difficulty in speaking,
and had been advised by his physicians
that he is entirely cured of his cold.
LANSING, Mich, Oct. Sat each of
the stations crowds gathered. At How.
ell 500 assembled. Blaine at first object
ed to showing himself, but was finally
prevailed upon to meet the crowd at the
rear platform of the car. He was saluted
| with three cheers and in response said:
Il am very glad to see you gentlemen.
Are you going to wake things up here for
Harrison and Morton?"
you bet We are, responded a number
of voices.
Grand Rapids will be reached at l
o'clock, and a meeting will be held at 8.
From Grand Rapids Blaine will start on
his Indiana tour making lis first speech
at Goshen on the 10th, Indianapolis on
the 18th, New Albany on the 18th,
Evansville on the 18th, and the Tippe-
ca noe battle-ground on the 18th.
GRAND RAPIDS, Oct. Sat Grand
Rapids Blaine was met, by an immense
and enthusiastic crowd. At 8 o'clock the
doors of Hartman's hall were thrown
oper and the crowd poured in III a great
flood. which occupied every inch of
space. The larger part OF it was made
up of workmen in the factories, who list
ened to Blaine with close attention. The
gist of his speech was an answer to Post
master General Dickinson's statement, to
the effect that the New Eng
land states and the East gets all the adj
vantage of protective tariff, while the
West s~ustains the burden. That, he
said, had been the cry of the free traders
ever since there was a West, and yet
somehow, in this great national progress,
the West seems to keep her place III the
van.
Quoting from figures Blaine said that
New England took 500. 1000 IONS of grain
annually that out of 800. 900, 900 pounds
of wool raised in the West. New England
took one half, paying the West $45, 900,
600 for it. She pays the West $50, 900,
600 for bread and for provisions. The
farmers of the Western states re-
ceived $50. 900, 900; for butter she pays
the West over SO, 900, 900, while the
the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota receive Sl5,O 900. 900 a year for
western lumber. Of copper, lead. salt
and hides the aggregate of $50, 0UO, 900 is
paid, thus making the aggregate well up
to 5000, 900, 600. But Mr.. Dickerson,
being a member of an administration
that can afford to lend the bankers 500,
600, 900 a year OF government money
without interest, may think 5000. 600, COX
not much of a sum. though, added Blaine
this amount comes very handy in settling
our balances at the end of the year.
He pointed III the fact that the tota
value of products sent to old England wa,
1927, 000, 900 to show the advantage anc
value of the home market, showing wha'
1000, 900 of people at home can consum,
compared to 1000 200 of one country
beyond the sea. He thought Dickinson
could improve himself greatly by studyint
the history of his country.

Attempted Assassination.

ADMISSION, Ala, Oct. S.-An attempt
was made this afternoon to assassinate
w. H. Edmunds of the Hot Blast, in his
Office. The trouble grew out of an en-
nifty aroused by the papers war in favor
Of the riged enforcement of the prohibi-
ton laws. A week ago an ex- policeman,
who had been discharged for inefi-
cheney, waYlaid Editor Edmuds and
beat him severely. This afternoon
Officer of the Peace j. S. Lawrence,
accompanied by Will Lacey, entered the
Hot Blast Office in which we're Ed
monds, John Copell, mailing clerk, and
A. Tribney, who had come in on bust
ness. lawrence called Edmonds outside,
where some conversation was had in ref
erence to a communication which APP
peared in the Montgomery Dispatch
written by Lawrence, who is a correspond
cnt of that paper. Lawrence asked Ed
mopds to retract a severe reply he had
made to the communication, but Ed
monds refused.
Ascertaining hat Edmonds was not
armed Lacy pulled a revolver and opened
fire upon him. He was shot in the lett
arm at the elbow and seriously woundeds
Lacey attempted to shoot again, but the
pistol snapped, which probably saved
Edmonds' life. The assassin her fired
upon Messrs. Copell and Tribney, the
former being shot through the neck and
the latter receiving two wounds in the
head, both being serious. Lawrence and
Lacey were arrested. The feeling in the
city is intense and talk Of lynching is
strong. A mass meeting of citizens will
be held tomorrow, when a plan of action
will be decided upon.
