A TERRIBLE DEATH.
A Woman Saturates Her Clothing
With Kerosene and Touches a
Match 10 IT


With Kerosene and Touches a
Match to 1t.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, March "a
Information reached here yesterday of
the terrible suicide of Mrs. Joseph
Parker, near Stewartstown. She was
young woman, with husband and
three children. For some time, on ac-
count of prolonged physical infirmities,
she had become very much depressed
in mind and at times required close
watching to prevent her from
doing violence to herself. Yesterday
she took advantage of her husbands alb
sence to kill herself in the following
terrible manner: Leaving her infant
with a servant, she repaired to stable
and saturated her clothing with coal oil.
Then she lighted match and set her
self on fire. The pain apparently re-
stored herself to her senses. A few
minutes afterward she came from the
building on fire from head to foot. The
servant, who was still holding the child,
rushed up to save her, but the woman
beat her off with one hand and with the
infant to her arms. The servant
threw down the child and endeavored to
smother the flames, when the woman
ran away. Two men came to the res
cue. and she was secured with nearly all
her clothing burned off and her body
horribly scOrched. Her hair was burned
off, and her face presented terrible
appearance, one eye being closed. When
medical aid reached her she was more
crazed than ever and resisted all efforts
to ease her pain. She died a terrible
death in a few hours. The men who
pursued her were burned in their efforts
to smother the flames. Her husband
she died, and is overcome with grief.

The Switchmen's Strike.

CHICAGO, March 24.-Leaders of the
engineers, as we'll as switchmen, who
are now on strike, deny that the move
ment was organized in pursuance of any
agreement among them. President
Monaghan, of the switchmen's union,
in a lengthy interview this even
ing, stated again that the
switchmen were unwilling to run
unnecessary risks in their work, and
that their work with incompetent engin-
GERS now on the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy compelled them to do this. He
asserts it is no use for the company to
claim that new engineers are competent
men. Many of them, he says, are yet
unable to understand the signals used
by switchmen, and this constantly
places the latter's lives and limbs in dan
ger. He asserts that several men
have been badly MANNED and at least
one killed since the beginning of the
strike by the incompetency Of the en-
gineers. Monaghan thinks the strike
will embrace the entire Burlington
system, and is also of the opinion the
switchmen of other roads will refuse to
do anything to help the Burlington road
in its fight. and that other lines will
probably be involved.

BOYS WITH REvOLVERS.
Between Schools Car
ried Too Far.


Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, MIMI, March 24.-The boys
at the Washington school and the boys
at the Polish school in the Fourth ward
have long been making faces at each
other, and the ill-feeling between the
two schools has frequently cropped out
in street fights. in which the youngsters
have freely used stones and other con-
venient missiles. Matters have grown
more serious of late and the bitterness
between the Polish and pubic
school boys has increased until this
afternoon Aid. Pellowski swOre
out complaint against August Wolff,
fourteen-year-old boy attending the
Washington school, for shooting the ten
year-old son of Aid. PellOuski. Young
Wolff was brought before Judge Allen,
and his examination revealed the start
ling fact that several of the boys in both
schools had armed themselves with re-
voIvers for defending themselves
against their school boy enemies. On
Thursday it seems the two crowds came
together and the customary trouble
commenced. Four pistol shots were
fired, but no one was hurt. On Friday
August Wolff fired his revolver again in
the crowd, for the purpose as he stated,
of frightening the boys, but the bullet
struck the little Pellowski boy in the
shoulder, cutting through his coat, but
not inflicting any serious wound. HIS
father, however, thought matters were
going too far and brought the case into
the court. 1t was continued until Mon

Without Doing Much Work the
Committee Adjourn to Monday.


WASHINGTON, March 23.-In the
senate committee room on privileges
and elections this morning, half or
three-quarters of an hour after the time
fixed for beginning the investigations
of the alleged Texas outrageS, and
while Evarts and SpoOner waited for
their Democratic colleague on the sub
committee, Senator SpOoner made
the following statement to Sena-
tor Evarts: "Senator, this case
seems to have been fairly tried
by the United States district attorney in
Texas, nevertheless Kirk was acquitted.
They first struck off from the jury panel
every Republican and colored man. We
subpGnaed the clerk of the court, with
instructions to bring On the records. The
clerk has brought what purports to be
transcript Of the stenOgraphic report of
the trial. 1t bears the affidavit of the
stenOgrapher, who swears that the ap-
pended 240 pages are a true copy OF his
notes. The testimony produced is,
however. only ififty-three pages =
being throughout testimony for
the defense. 1t shows, however, that
there was important testimony for the
prosecution. What should be done
under the circumstances" Senator
Evarts rejOined with emphasis that the
committee should bring all the parties
to Washington. The senators-with
Senator Teller, who had then arrived
went into consultation about the matter.
At II 80 the committee was called to
order, and after examining some wit
neSSeS adjourned to Monday.

Great interest was taken in the debate

thrown open to the public. Everett p.

speaking for fOrty-five minutes. He was
followed by Congressman ButterwOrth,

Mi. Wheeler then devoted fifteen min
utes for rebuttal, and Mr.. ButterwOrth

platform. Both disputants were re-
ceived with great enthusiasm, and their
telling points were applauded to the
echo.

SIOUX CITY, To-, March 24.-While it
is not apprehended that the big flood of
1881 will be repeated, with it's loss of
life and almost incalculable damage to
property, yet the chances are good that
much damage will be done in the.low
lands above the city, where the flood of
1881 proved so disastrous. The gorges
above and below the city still hold and
the water subsidized several inches to-
day. This is explained by a
special received from jack
son, Neb., tonight saying that
a great gorge was forming at Gotten
wood hill, twenty-five miles distant by
river and twelve by rail. Just below
that point is stretch of low country
that is in great danger. The water is
fast overlooking these low lands, and
the gorge is extending lateral impedi-
ment to it's passage. The people of
Jackson are very much excited, fearing
a sudden rush of water when the gorge
breaks that will prove disastrous.
Anxiety is felt here for the partly con-:
structed piers of the new bridge, which
are not in shape to withstand sudden
heavy ruSh of ice

adopted resolutions requesting their
delegates to the state and district con-
ventions to vote for the election of ma
tional convention delegates who are ia
yorable to Senator Sherman's candidacy

Republican organ of the county has
been open in its advocacy OF Mr..

Bellefontaine, the county seat, is the
home of Judge West, who nominated
Blaine four years ogo in Chicago, and
who has not yet announced his allegi-
ance to Mr.. Blaine's cause. The out
come of to-day's convention has there

Shooting.

WATERLOO, Neb., March 24.--This
morning about $50 man named A. w.
Allysworth, who lives in Council
Bluffs, To-, entered the hotel of l.. d.
Todd. Drawing revolver, he pointed
it at the head of a man named George
Hill, at the same time saying: "What
is your life worth?" Hill was about
to reply when Allysworth fired, the
bullet passing through Hills head just
above the eye, inficting a fatal wound.
Allysworth then went out on the street
and began firing promiscuously at every
body, just missing a man named Watts.
Town Marshall John Campbell then
arrived, and after calling upon Allys
worth to surrender, which he refused to
do, discharged double-barreled shot
gun at his head, inficting fatal
wound. The marshal narrowly escaped
being killed, one bullet passing through
his coat and another through his hat.
Allysworth is supposed to be insane.

A Convection Called to Form a

A Convection Called to Form a
Combination to Control North
west Products.
Topeka, Kan, March PA move
ment has been started by the farmers
of Kansas looking to the organization
of farmers trust, to include the farm
ers, stock raisers and feeders of the
Northwestern states and territories of
the Mississippi valley. In furtherance
of the project a mass convention of the
farmers and stOckmen of the locality
above stated has been called to
meet in Topeka Tuesday, May
l, to complete an organiZa-
ton. The address urging the
farmers and others to attend the con-
vention sums up the situation as fol-
lows: Within the last ten years the
manufactures and nearly every other
branch of industry, except agriculture,
have formed what are termed trust as
sociations, having for their object, first,
to check Over-prOductiOn; second, to
prevent an over supply of goods from be-
ing thrown upon our markets, to the ruin
of prices and the general injury of trade.
We may not by this proposed associa-
ton be able, nor do we care to
for this will depend more or
less on good and bad seasons, but we
have the power and can control our
shipments and thus regulate the supply
of our commodities offering in the pub
lie markets of the country, and this will
always insure us fair prices. The far
merS of this country cannot compete
with India wheat in the Liverpool mar
ket, nor do we intend longer to submit
to the payment of the cost of taking our
wheat to Liverpool before it can be sold
in our own home market. What we
want is fair exchange of products.
This we demand and will submit to
nothing less. We have the
power and all that is needed is
organization to make this power effect
i've. II we can, by this proposed organ
izatiOn, control our shipment of these
commodities and prevent the supply
from exceeding the demand in the mar
come master of the situation. The plan
contemplates, first, the establishment of
ten central agencies, to-wit: Chicago.
Cincinnati, Kansas City. indianapolis,
Omaha, st. Louis, Cedar Rapids. st.
Paul. Milwaukee and Louisville.
These agencies to do all: the selling
for the members of the association,
for which they shall be paid stated
salaries. Second, the territory tribu-
tary to these commercial points to be
divided into eight principal districts
and subdivided into sub-districts by
counties. Third. the principal of each
central agency, together with general
superintendent of the association, to be
appointed, shall constitute an executive
board, with power to regulate and con-
markets, and to do any and all other
things that shall in their judgment APP
pear to be to the best interests of the
association.

A DENIAL.
MIR. Morton Says the Story Is False
and Absurd.

CHICAGO, March 24.-General PaSsen-
ger Agent Morton was asked as to the
truth of the Trust allegation. He
said: cit is false. The answer is false
and absurd Oh its face. An affidavit to
that effect will be filed Monday. The
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy did not
begin the rate war, and there was never
a thought or suggestion of a great
railroad trust by any of our
people. 1t is all nonsense. What
is said about our having encouraged and
brought on the strike of the engineers
isn't only preposterous, but untrue.
Too ridiculous, in fact, to justify seri-
Gus denial. The answer leads one to
suspect that the author was an admirer
of Baron Munchausen or CULVER. The
long and short of the answer is that the
Rock Island has finally decided to obey
the law and exchange business with US,
but not liking to back down without do
ing something, it gathered up handful
of mud and filings it at u.s."
