A Romantic Story

CHICAGO, April 6-The attempt Of young
and beautiful girl to commit suicide was
brought to the knowledge of the police last
evening. It was romantic story of love
and disappointment. Early in the evening
woman ran breathlessly into the Canal
port avenue station and asked help for pre-
venting her sister from taking poison. She
was Mrs. Julia Durkin, of No. 8 Leslie
street, with whom lives her sister, Miss
Agnes Masters, 10 years old. The girl was
found sitting at table with her face buried
N her arms. She has been governess in
the aristocratic home of a wealthy and we'll
known manufacturer. A twenty year-old
boy in the family fell deeply in love with the
pretty gcverness. She reciprocated the af-
lection. They were secretly eng ,ged. Fear
ing to tell his parents, the boy proposed q
runaway marriage. Agnes objected and
urged no delay in confiding the etory of
the love engagement to his parents. The
father was greatly progressed in favor Of
the girl, gave his consent to the marriage
ana ofleIed to set his SON up in business;
The mother violently opposed the match and
ordered her to leave the house.

A Magnificent Time Anticipated at COL

EMPoR1A, KAN, April 9.-Headquarters
for the Kansas department of the G. A. r.
at the national encampment, to be held at
Columbus, o., next September have been
secured. The Ohio state house will be used
for national headquarters as well as for the
different departments. Kansas has been
allotted the room of the state auditor, next to
Indiana and Illinois, they being the three
states expected to send the largest deleaa-
lions. The citizens of Columbus expect to
house most of the visitors, and those expect.
ing to attend from Kansas can have places
secured for sleeping purposes by writing to
Colonel A. q. Patton, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, or should house room
give out camp tents have been secured for
about $1,000, which can be enlarged to any
extent.
The committee who visited Column
bus to look after Kansas in
terests report the outlook to be good
for the largest and best encampment ever
held. The use of the state house being given
by the state for headquarters, will save
thousands of dollars to the several depart
ments, and the management of the commit
tess having charge of affairs promises not
only magnificent time for the boys, but
one that will cost very little more than what
railroad fare amounts to there and back.

"A State Normal School Burns.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, April "a fire was
discovered in the maneard roof of the state
normal school little before nine O'Clock
this morning. Eight hundred pupils were
in the building at the time. 175 of whom
were small children in the training school.
All got out in safety, with but one exception,
with portion of their books and wraps.
ALI efforts of the fire department were un-
availing and in one hour the massive struct-
ure was in ruins A portion of the upper
part of the walls fell. Rain falling at the
time prevented the fire, which burned with
uncommon ferceness, from communicating
to the dwellings surrounding the structure.
In pursuance of the policy of the state,
there was no insurance on the structure.
Its cost was $4,000, of which the city of
Terre Haute gave $4,000 in addition to the
grounds.
Arrangements have been made for accom-
modating the training school In the city
scnool buildings and for continuing the
normal school proper in temporary quarters
for the remainder of the year, aud until the
building, the walls of which represent q
value of about $25, 900, can be rebuilt. Al
most, if not ali the students, will remain.
A defective fue is supposed to have caused
the fire.

TERRIFIC STORM.
Town In Minnesota Visited by Wind and
Hail

Town In Minnesota Visited by Wind and
FA11BAuLr, MMN., April Sat $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon this city was
visited by the most terrible wind storm ever
experienced. Roofs were torn of from
store buildings, signs were whirled hither
and thither like straws, and dry goods
boxes and empty barrels sent flying up
Main street like paper balls. There was
nothing cyclonic in the storm; it was
mainly wind and hail. Coming from the
southeast at the rate of sixty miles an hour,
1t struck the center of the city at 1882 o'clock
and continued in great violence for fifteen
minutes. The first roof to go was that of
Mrs. Hendricks store building. or Main
street, which was blown OF to the
rear. Others quickly followed, among
them being that of Voltz Bros store
building. three story, Union block, and the
east portion of the roof of the church of the
Immaculate Conception, (Roman Catholic.)
The roof was also torn of the depot. A
scuttle from one of the buildings struck q
gentlemen, Eame unknown, on the head,
inficting serious, perhaps fatal injuries.
This is the only casualty SC far as known.
Plate glass in Union block and in r. j.
Libes shoe store were blown out into the
street. The new high school building and
the new water works building were also
damaged, but to what extent could not be
learned. Many telegraph and telephone
poles were broken off, swapping like reeds

Inc Unased SeAeee Supreme Court AmRMe
the Decision Of the Lower Court.
WAsHmGToH d. O., April 9.-The limited
States supreme court rendered oecisicn to-
day IN what IL commonly known Is The
Pennsyivanla oleomargarine cases.
This case brings up for review the judr-
ment OF the supreme court of Pennsylvnnjs
SUSTAINING the validity of the statute Of that
commonwealth, making il unlawful fu. sa,v
. person to manufacture. sell or offer for 80
any butter or cheese, or retail, DESIGNED "a.
take the place OF these articles, produced
from any compound other .han unadulfer-
ated. milk and cream. The plaintiff 80
convicted of the violation Of this statute and
took an appeal. basing it or the grounds
tnas the statute was Ia violation Ut the
fourteenth amendment to the Consultation.
and that the article sold was a new inyen.
ton and not deletelerous to public health.
The court holds that 1t Is entirely with the
police officers of a state -
protect the public health, and
that the question whether the manufactura
OF oleOmargarine may be conducted in such
2 way as to involve such danger to public
health as to require the suppression OF thu
business rather than its glutton, are oues-
tons of facts of public policy, which belong
to the Legislative department to determine.
1t all that can be said of this legislation is
that 1t IS unwise or unnecessarily Oppressive
their appeal must be to the Legislature, or to
the ballot-box and not to the judiciary. The
court also says it cannot assent to the arpu-
ment; that if this statute is sustained, then
nothing stands in the way of the destruction
by the Legislative department of the consti-
tntional guarantees of liberty and property.
The answer to this argument, it holds, is
that the judiciary department is bound not
to give effect to statutes or enactments that
are plainly forbidden by the constitution.
The objection that the statute denies equal
protection of laws il also held to be unreli-
able, for the reason that the same penalties
and burdens are imposed upon all persons
engaged in the same business. Judgment
affirmed: opinion by Justice Harlan, Justice
Field Dissenting.

cussion the following resolution was

viding for constitutional convention In
each territory and the Submission of their
constitutions for ratification or rejection at
an election in November, 1883, substantially
as provided for in the bill reported by the
committee on territories at this session.
At Mr.. Holman's instance, and after he
had set out the political necessity for some
action on the part of the house, the caucus
adopted resolution requesting the COM
mittee on rules to fix time for the consid-
Grafton of the bill on public land forfeiting
unearned railroad grants, and reserving the
remaining public lands for the benefit of
actual settlers. The bill to create a terri
torial form of government for Oklahoma
was discussed but no action taken in the
way of final endorsement.

The Battenbure Marriage .

BERLIN, April Prince Alexander, Of
Battenburg, comes to Charlottenburg next
Thursday and his betrothal to Princess Vic
toria takes place early in June. Prince Bis
marck has withdrawn his resignation solely
from the consideration that the denomina-
ton of Empress Victoria would speedily
lead to the break up Of German unity.
Nothing since the accession of Emperor
Frederick has occurred that has so strongly
ANNA ted the Prussian conservatives against
the empress as the marriage question.
It now becomes known that the empress
will impel her helpless husband to thwart
Prince Bismarck, without regard to the re-
spect due to the late emperor or to the ma
tiOnal safety.

A LAND OFFICE FIGHT.

Investigation of Charges Made Against
n. M. Bickel.
LARNED, KAN, April Especial Agent
Hobbs, OF the general land Office, has dur
ing the past two days been engaged in an
investigation of receiver II. NJ. Bickel, of
the local United States land Office, at this
place. Many very serious charges have
been preferred against Bickel, among others
that of embezzlement. The investigation
has not proceeded far enough yet to indicate
the result. But those who are in position
to know, openly express the opinion that
enough will be proven to warrant Bickel's
removal. Many think Bickel as much to
blame as Bro wnlee for the unfortunate fight
that has been going on in the Office here, and
since the latter's removal the opinion seems
to prevail that there ought to be clean
sweep and the Office filed by entirely new
men.
