WINNIPEG, Man., Feb. 25.-The latest
curse perpetrated by the Dominion gov
eminent is reduction in the salaries of
the entire civil service in Manitoba. The
effect in Winnipeg will be most disas-
trOus, and will take at least $4,000 out
of the city. Mail carriers will be brought
almost to starvation, as the wages will
only amount to $25 per month. The
large force of men employed in the
postoffice talk bitterly against the iron
hand at Ottawa. 1t seems as if Sir John
Macdonald is taking satisfaction out OF
the poor employees to satisfy the slap in
the face he got from the monopoly
question from his old-time followers
here. A piece of Grape was tied
to the postotfice door, and outward signs
show that great feeling of disgust is
prevalent. Men getting $40 per month
formerly, only get S23 under the pay
sheet issued this afternoon. The reduc-
ton means starvation almost to some of
the men, the majority of whom are
married. The winter has been exceed
ingly severe, and the large expenditure
put many deeply in debt. Manitoba
and Northwest members at Ottawa will
be asked to enter protest against the
governments action. If the feeling
grows in the city the probability is that
an indignation meeting will be called.
Manitoba means to fight, and no bull
doing from Sir John, OF any one else,
will deprive the people from having
rights in railway and other necessities
for the new country.

The Metropolitan Bank FOrgeries
Turn Out To Be Genuine Sig
natures.
CINCINNATI, Feb. ga new turn
was taken in the case of Frank Riegel,
late assistant cashier of the Metro
politan National bank of this
city, who was arrested last Thurs
day charged with forgery by DIR. C. l..
Armstrong, president of the Arcade
building association. To-day DR.. Arm
strong identified his supposed forged
signatures to the orders to the building
association as genuine, and he is puZ-
Zled to explain how he came to sign
orders for $4,000 without knowing what
he was doing. 1t relieves Riegel of the
charge OF forgery and lays the
foundation for a charge of false
Imprisonment against those that held
him in durance. Another development
In that case was that in the loan of
$4,000 made from the Arcade Building
association, l.. d. GoOch, the ostensi-
bic borrower. appears to have borrowed,
not for himself, but for RE
gel: He says that Riegel came to him
and asked him to borrow this $1,000
cash for his (Riegel's) use, and sug-
gested that he give as security a mort
gage on realty, which Riegel got ap-
praised for over $4,000, whereas it cost
the owner only 81 900 very short time
ago.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
Five Brothers Quarrel Over a

Property,
Which Results in One Of Them
Killing Two Of a Sheriff's
Posse.
Frightful Double Tragedy
Committed in the Cream
City.
Four Bandits Killed--A Pris-
oner Shot by a Guard
Casualties.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 25.-This after
noon horrible tragedy was enacted in
Ashland county. Lewis ChesrOwn, ST.,
man Seventy-siX years of age, is resi-
dent of MOhicanyille, little settlement.
He is estimated to have been worth
about $4,000. Of late years he has been
perfectly helpless and has resided with
a son. All of his property was decided
to his children upon the condition that
they would keep him the remainder of
his life. For number of years they have
been quarreling amongst themselves
over the division. Recently Lewis
Chesrown. Jr., was appointed guardian
of his father. Another son lives in the
same house, and on last Wednesday
both were decoyed from home, and in
their absence the other sons called and
carried away their aged father. The
abductOrs were arrested on charges of
assault and battery, and were bound
over to court in the sum of $500 each.
Lewis CheSown obtained writ of
habeas corpus which was given to Con-
stable W. III. Kelly to serve. He went
to the house of John Chesrown,
where the old man was confined.
Five of these Chesrown boys were in
the house, and they refused to open the
doors. Kelly got posse and forced an
entrance. AS he crossed the threshold
he was shot by Elias ChesrOwn, and so
badly wounded that he died tonight.
Kelly's deputy, Jacob Helbert. next
fell dead with bullet in his brain.
Elias then jumped on horse and rode
to the Ashland jail, where he gave him
self up. The four brothers, Adam,
Wesley, John and Joseph, were ar
rested
