marriage she had rejected. moment later
Ball placed the revolver to his head and fired,
falling dead on the floor. To a reporter, Mr..
Everett said that young Ball had worked for
him at different times, and came to his house
late yesterday to stay all night. This morning
he proposed to help Everett kill hogs, While
at work he made frequent trips to the house.
Finally Miss Everett called her father and
asked him to send Ball away. as she was afraid
of him. Everett notified Ball that no would
not need him longer, and that he could go.
This was about nine o'clock Ball started as
if to leave, going across toward the road, but
when ne had passed Everett's stable he turned
and wont into the kitchen. Mrs. Everett and
two little children and Miss Everett were in
the ROOM He asked Mrs. Everett If she had
any objections to his talking to Miss Neva for
a minute. She told him no, if Neva wished
him to. He then asked the young lady to step
into the other room with him for Two minutes,
as he wished to talk with her She told him
if he had anything to say to tell it in the pres
ence of her mother. He instantly fred at her.

the shot, Ball walked into the next room,
placed the revolver to his temple and pulled
the trigger, falling dead within twenty feet of
the dead girl.
Ball dropped four letters neag here. that

and addressed to his mother. who is in New
York. On the 9Th he wrote another, addressed
to the father and mother of the murdered girl,
asking them to bury him by the side of his

and his love, and he was determined they
should die together He purchased the reyol-

An Illinois Prisoner is Removed to a Safer
Prison.

DEctTUR, Ill, February 9-TSpecial /
John Mounce, tho farmer who riddled Adam
Spear with bullets, near Monticello, in Platt
county, last Saturday evening, has been Sc
cretly transferred from Monticello to Decatur,
and is now behind the bars in the Macon
county jail Judge Hughes and State At
torney Hughes thought it unsafe to keep
Mounce in the Monticello Jail, believing that,
owing to the intense excitement over the
prison and lynch the prisoner. The prisoner
himself is fearful that Judge Lynch will settle
the matter quickly. He now feels safer, thirty
miles from the scene of his bloody crime.
Adam Spear was wealthy stock raiser and
farmer. and a church member. He and
Mounce had had previous trouble, and they
met on the highway, Spear being unarmed. A
few words passed, and Mounce shot Spear five
times. Mounce admits the killing, but will
give no reason for the assault, except that
Spear had abused his brother

The Anniversary of the Dedica-

Celebrated i'm Paris.

The Anniversary of the Dedica-
tiOn of the Statue of Liberty
Celebrated in Paris.
PARIS, Oct. ga banquet was given
at the Hotel Continental this evening to
commemorate the dedication of the
statue of liberty enlightening the
world, which was given by the French
people to the United States. Mr.. Nc
Lane, the American minister, and M.
Goblet, the French minister of foreign
affairs, were among those present.
The American minister, in replying to
Nj. GOblet's toast to his health, said:
1.-The JOY that the Americans expert
enced in receiving the statue OF liberty
was equal to the pleasure you expert
enced in offering it. Before giving the
emblem you had given the thing itself.
All of the great truths upon which
modern social order is based were
elaborated and spread throughout
the world by French genius. We
received them with ardor and finished
by developing them. If we have sue
-ceeded in reconciling the liberty of
each with the liberty of all, we cannot
forget that the germ came from France.
The modern world grayitates toward
the p0lltlcal orbit traced by France and
America. The symbol which the statue
of Liberty represents will become
reality u The speech was loudly
appiauded. Mr.. McLane offered a
toast in honor of President Carnot.
M. Goblet said that France was form
seriy courted and dreaded, but that
since her misfOrtunes, unjust aecusa-
-tions and jeering had not been spared
her in her isolation. But she did not
complain of this temporary trouble.
The day was coming when, under the
agis of the republic, she would re-
cover her ancient splendor, and
when that time came she would
not forget her faithful friends,
among whom was America. In con-
cluding he said that America mad given
a fresh pledge of her sympathy by
promising to take part in the coming
exhibition. France had renounced the
glory of conquest; her only desire was
to live in peace and to develop her re-
sources. He expressed his wishes for
the constant prosperity of the United
States, and drank to the health of Presi-
dent Cleveland.

Montreal, made a speech.

been making speeches TO a crowd at
E!dridge and Canal streets. The meet
ing was about to close when the o. Brlen
legion, who had been parading. ralded
tie truck. The leaders were well sac-
quainted with each other, and regarded
the affair more as q joke than
seriously, but some of the follow
eTs on both sides got excited,
and there was quite fracas, in the
course of which two pistol shots were
h Aard. Whether the firing was done IN
Pickwickian sense or in earnestl is
conjectural. At any rate the police
thought it justified them in taking. a
serious view of the situation, and the
street was soon cleared. John Henry
Mccarthy, Tammany candidate for con-
greSS, had been one of the
speakers at tine Democratic meet
ing. Ex-Assemblyman Charles Smith,
noted as the proprietor of a saloon
paved with silver dollars, was conspicu-
Gus on the Republican side. He is a
candidate for reelection. Officer Chap
man reported the pistol firing at the
Eldridge street station, and George
Hall, Tammany man. made complaint
at the same station. The Republicans
claim that the truck was theirs. and
that while parading toward it crowd
of roughs took possession, and the fracas
consisted in driving the hOodlumS away.

Ben Butler Declares Himself in
Favor of the Other Ben.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 29.-Gen. 3. F.
Butler spoke to what was, undoubtedly,
the largest political gathering of the
campaign at the Detroit rink tonight.
The large building was completely
packed, while several thousand people
got no nearer than the outside doors.
The general was in poor voice, and it
was with difficulty that he made him.
self heard. Gen. Butler began by say
ing that he was an old man and that his
political days were over. He had been
a Greenbacker and proud of it. There
no longer existed any necessity for a
greenback party, as they had secured
all they wanted. 1t made no difference
to him, he said, who was president; a
president could not do much harm any
way, but he preferred to see Harrison
elected because he believed in protec-
ton for capital and labor. Gen. Butler
then proceeded to an elaborate discus!
sion of the tariff and the Mills bill.
Referring to the Sackville-West letter,
he said it made no difference whether
the MurchiSon letter was forgery Or
not-the minister's letter was not. :

without having first taken out an occu-

right to regulate interstate commerce.

Asner appealed the case to the United

gave decision in his favor. The court
III Its opinion says that it sees no differ

was held to be unconstitutional. As to
the contention of the authorities Of
Texas that the decision of the supreme
court in the Robbins case was in con-

Justice Bradley very dryly says that,

always supposed that later decision
