overcoat pocket. Murray is a travelling
agent for corset manufacturer. He is mar
ried and lives in Dubuque, Ia. Bell lives
with his wife at Hyde Park, and is the local
representative of Cincinnati lithographing
house. Neither he nor Murray viii make
any statement, but near relative of Bell ex-
plains the affair.
He says that about month ago Bell be-
came suspicious of his young wife. One
night he started to go to Muskegon, but
missed the boat and retu1 ned to his house
about midnight. His wife was gone, and
going out he met her getting off a street
car. She confessed that she had been out
with George Murray. Bell sought Murray,
who agreed to make an admission before
Bells attorney that he had been out with
Mrs. Bell on several occasions. They started
for the attorneys, but Murray lodged into a
crowd and escaped
The young husband went home in furious
rage and armed himself with revolver and
razor but was unable to find Murray until
Yesterday afternoon There ives hot quarrel
and Murray finally went to the Office of a
lawyer but he was out, and while waiting
Murray went into the cigar store and began
to write. Bell followed him.
"Where are you writing toe" he asked.
ITO my lawyer" answered Murray, with
out looking up Bell could stand it no long
er and jerked his razor from his pocket and
made slash at Mu1ray's ear. His aim was
straight and the ear dropped of into his
hand. Bell rushed out of the store to his
brothers Office, and laying the ear upon a
table chopped it to pieces. Bell is about
twenty-six years old and wes married four
years ago and has one child.
Mr.. Murray denied emphatieally this af-
ternoon that there had been anything i'm
proper in his relations With Mrs. Bell, and
asserted that he would prosecute Bell to the
fullest extent of the Law. Bell was arrested
during the afternoon on a warrant sworn out
by the police. He was taken before a JUS
tice who held him for a hearing on Mon
day. Bail was promptly furnished.

Captain John Ericsson, the Inventor of
the Monitor, Honored by His Friends.
NEw York, August l.-Captin John
Grcisson, the famous inventor of the
Monitor, celebrated his S5th birthday yes
serday very quietly. This was not the
aalt OF his friends, for many would de-
ight to do him honor. but as he grows
,lder the inventor grows more fond of
work and more averse to seeing people or
Deing interrupted. He tells his friends
that but short time remains in which to
work out the problems that occupy his
mind, and he grudges every moment
that is lost OF late he has devoted
himself TO developing his solar mo-
tor. Ercisson's inventions are not
generally of the patentable kind.
He is suspected of some contempt for in
ventors who devise contrivanees for the
sake of patenting them. He works upon
broad natural laws, and tries to bring en-
,ineering problems into line with them.
4 is not generally known that Ericsson
vas the first to devise the use of screw pro-
,ellers for steamships. He brags a little OF
shis, and says; "If l had said in 1885 that
to-day dozen steamers would leave New
York in one day moved by my propeller,
people would have had me committed as a
unatic" The Captain would spare time
20 see only one caller. This was Mr. Bors,

ais official capacity to present the congrat-
ulations of the King of Sweden. Cap
tain Ericsson was serenaded last night by

A MoTHER's PRESENCE OF MIND.
Saves Her Life and That of Her Child at
Chicago.

CHICAGO. August 1.-The death of q
mother was narrowly averted last evening
by presence Of mind and good luck. Mrs
]. Norman was doing some ironing and at
tempted 10 replerish the fuel in her little
oil stove while the wick was still afame.
She allowed the oil to run over and it ig-
nited. The flames reached to the ceiling
and Mrs. Norman seized pail of water TO
quench them. This only tended to make
matters worse. The blazing oil ran in
streams about the floor and ignited Mrs
Norman's dress. She hastily rolled her
self in q blanket and extinguished the
blazing garments before she was severely
burned
Little Clara Norman, who attempted to
put out the fire. also had her clothes tx.
nited. She seized her baby brother in her
arms and was about to rush out with him.
The flames had communicated to his
clothes and the two would have been
burned to cinder had not Mrs. Norman
caught and wrapped them in the same
blanket which had saved her. She then
smothered the flames from the burning
stove and fell to the floor exhausted with
her efforts Fortunately all three escaped
with few slight burns which will soon
heal

having taken the military from the press,
il will be necessary to send all reports by
courier. The steady pressure policy has
been adopted and an effort is being made
to swing few chiefs into line for the treaty
and thus secure their influence among the
Indians. While the Indians in their pri-
vate council, declare that their decision OF
Friday Was final. there is an under current
among them which is encouraging to the
commissioners. who still hope for success.
Some of the chiefs have admitted during
the last twenty-four hours that they do
not know just what is meant by many
clauses of the treaty, and they are willing
to remain for the food, which of necessity
must be given them. while they are held at
the agency. Among the chiefs who said
they did not fully understand the treaty is
Mad Bear, but while admitting q lack of
knowledge they insist they will not sign.
There are number of disgruntled leaders
among the Indians. chiefly those who
were omitted from among the list of ora
tors selected by the tribes. These have
learned that they can speak, and to get
even with the more popular leaders. they
may take the opposite side of the question
and advocate the signing of the treaty.
Reports just received are to the effect
that Sitting Bull has consented to come in.
He is much disguised with the Indians
for having remained to talk so long with
the commissioners and says that they act
like babies. He.will prove a disturbing
element, unless he stands upon his dig
nifty and refuses to talk. 1t is said that he
will be silent IS long as the Indians re-
fuse to sign, but that if they show an in
clination TO accept the treaty, he will en-.
ter the circle and speak.
The commissioners are hoping they can
present the proposition in such way as to
remove from the Indians minds the sus-
picions and prejudices which have arrayed
them against the treaty. Red Cloud, of
the Pine Ridge agency, is still opposing the
treaty, and the Indians have runners be-
tween the agencies, SO that each tribe is
kept informed of the action of the other.
