Editor McGlynn who has risen almost

at his Office again yesterday, and so much
pleased with the expressions of sympa-
thy and solicitude on the part of his

thank the multitudelof friends, who during
his recent severe illness, manifested great
readiness to render all possible assistance
and who showed deep solicitude for his
welfare, and the welfare of those who
watched over him. He now bids good

MURDERED HIS WIFE.
Mrs. Laree Carved to Death by
Her Husband

PATERSON, n. j., Feb. 2S.--A ter
rible tragedy was enacted at No. 20
Chestnut street, this city, this afternoon.
Anthony Laree, Hollander, age thirty,
who has only been in this country four
months, was married in Holland about
six months ago to a beautiful young
cir, who came with him to America. She
was Laree's second wife,and was only
nineteen years old. She soon grew tired
of his eXacting ways after they reached
here, and as they had no means and he
would not work, the girl refused to re-
main dependent upon his friends, who
were hard working people, and went to
live as domestic with Mrs. Van
Ripper, at S99 Ellison street. where
five or six weeks. Laree did not know
of this move, and his friends would not
tell him where his wife was. He
met her accidentally, however, and
made an appointment with her for this
afternoon at Mr.. Stulwater's house,
where the tragedy occurred. After
luncheon Mr.. Saltwater went out, leav-
ing Laree and his wife alone together.
When he returned about an hour later
he found the young wife lying in a cor
ner, with blood issuing from dozen
wounds in her head, neck, arms and
side. The woman was taken to st. Jo-
seph's hospital, where she lies in dy-
inc condition. The room IN which the
stabbing took place is covered with
blood. Laree fed, taking with him the
knife with which he committed the
deed. The police tracked him. by his
bloody footprints for long distance
through the Sandy Hill cemetery and
off in the direction of Passaic. To-
night Laree returned to Paterson and
was arrested. He had cut himself
badly during the struggle with his wife

An Embarrassing Case.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-The prospect
of the arrest of Mr.. Fister. the recall
citrant witness of the Freeret inyesti-
CATION, grows less. The committee
endeavored to hold a meeting this. week,
but as no quorum appeared the matter
was left entirely in the hands of Senator
Spooner. Mr.. Spooner has been
considering what he should do
for so long time that it
appears as though he would not
succeed in doing anything before al
journment. He threatens now to with
draw the resolution summonfng Fister
before the bar of the senate and to fol-
low out, instead, the provision of the
law which says: whenever witness
summoned as mentioned in 102 fails to
testify and the facts are reported to
either house, the president of the senate
or the speaker of the house, as the case
may be. shall certify the fact under the
seal of the senate or house, to the district
attorney for the district of Columbia,
whose duty it shall be to bring the mat
ter before the grand jury for their
actiOn,o

istration is complete. with the exception
to be named, and that no further change
will be made in the slate as at present
arranged. This is the makeup that re-
ceives the most credence: Secretary of
treasury, William Window; secretary
of war, Redtield Proctor; secretary of
the navy, to be filled; secretary of the
interior, John W. F. Swift; attorney
general, John W. Noble; postmaster
general, John Wanamaker; secre-
tary of agriculture, jeremiah Rusk.
1t is said tonight that Platt and Miller
are distinctly out of the race, and the
Plat men are much annoyed. New
York may get cabinet place, but it
depends entirely upon the temper of
her politicians. Gen. Harrison, after
hearing a great deal about tile situation
in the Empire state, told MIR. Morton
that if the Republicans there, without
regard to factions or personal difficult
ties, could unite in recommending some
man for a cabinet place, he would have
generous consideration. If such har-
named will be given the navy portfolio.
Senator Palmer is not believed to be a
possibility any longer. In the first
place there was no request for his APP
pointment by the Republicans of
Michigan, and without such re-
quest, it is hardly probable that
with the great pressure for place,
man without his state back
ing would be chosen except on personal
grounds. In the next place, as Gen.
Harrison is reported to have said to the
Nebraska men. where state had pre-
sented candidate tor cabinet hOnorS,
Nd ho1 it,nx To
put his name on the list, it was hardly
to be expected that man not so pre-
scented and supported should be chosen.
This was taken to dispose of the chances
of Robert W. Furnas, of Nebraska, for
secretary of agriculture, who had been
suggested when John ThurSton's name
was rubbed off, and would equally well
apply to Gen. Alger and Senator Palmer.
The Wisconsin delegation are still con-
fident that Gov. Rusk will have place.
But it is not to be secretary of war; tn at
appears to be conceded to eX-Gov. Proc
tor, and the only other place open to
him is that of secretary of agriculture.
The notable devel0pement of the day
in the way of cabinet gossip is the en-
tire disgruntlement of the New York
contingent. 1t is loudly proclaimed
that Plat and Miller are out of the
race. Early this evening, William FL.
Seward, son of the famous Secretary
Seward, began to take the position of
the compromise candidate for cabinet
honors for the Empire state. The Platt
and Miller men admitted that their ia
vorites were distanced, and a majority
seemed to be in favor of Seward. The
name of Whitlaw Reid was vaguely
suggested as sop to New York, but
the Republican editor was not held in
great favor by the professional politi-
clans

PROMINENT MEN MISSING.
Three st. Louis NOtables Have
Gone to Preaching Psychology.

l.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 29.-For two
years or more. three familiar figures
have not been seen on the streets of St.
Louis, and now comes strange story
about their mysterious disappearance.
They are Col. CELSIUS Price, his brother
Quintus Price, sons of the famous
Confederate general Pap" Price, and
DR.. Sylvester Nidelet. at one time coro-
ner of the city of st. Louis. There was
a warm intimacy between the trio, who
devoted considerable time together to
psychic research and the explanation of
the infinite. TIE three friends had by
their long study of the mysteries of
the universe. reached state Of
eXaltation that was absolute belief in
the power of the divine. A near and
dear relative of Col. Price, a lady now
living and we'll known in Missouri
Mrs. Willis-Was compelled to undergo
a dangerous surgical operation in New
York. The three friends on their knees
at the bedside registered VOW that If
the lady be spared they would devote
the remainder of their lives to the
propagation of the holy truths in which
they believed, would renounce the
world and work for the spiritual eleva-
ton of mankind. The lady lived, and
the trio kept their VOWS. They preached
on the streets, and were last seen by
nephew of Col. Price engaged in that
calling in Buffalo, n. Y. This is the
story told by relatives and dear friends,
and the prominence of the parties has
attracted much attention and comment
upon the rare and peculiar occurrence.

Robert Mullen Shoots His

LIGoNIER, Pa. Feb. 2s.-News
reached this place about 10 o'clock this
morning of a bold and daring murder.
The. facts briefly given are as follows:
At o'clock last evening the house of
Herman Umberger. an aged farmer liv-
ing ON the pike ten miles east of here,
near Jennerstown, Somerset county,
was entered by two masked men claim
ing they had search warrant for jew
elry that had been stolen from ped
dler in the Deighborhood short time
ago. Mr.. Umberger iDnocently ac-
cempanied them through the house,
and when he was forced to open trunk
containing $4,000. he placed it in his
pocket. They then demanded him, at
the points of revolvers, to hand it over.
This he strenuously objected to, when
a regular battle ensued, in which they
fired five shots into his body killing
him almost instantly. They took the
money and fed in the darkness. The
, aged wife witnessed the murder, but
was too old and feeble to be of any as
sistance to her husband. The murder
ers are supposed to reside in the COM
munity. Great excitement prevails,
and if the murderers are caught they
will undoubtedly be lynched.

FIGHT WITH A MADMAN.
William Davis Killed by Keeper
at Michioan ASYLUM.

az ~ ftA IASy
PONTIAC, Mich, Feb. 2s.-Last Sun
day William Davis, patient at the in
sane asylum, was killed by P. F. Tay-
lor, an attendant. To-day the coroner's
jury rendered verdict that the killing
was done in self defense. The circum-
stances are these: AS Taylor passed
Davis in the hall with another imbecile,
Davis, who was out of humor about
something, struck Taylor in the neck.
Taylor left the other man, and grabbed
Davis about the waist. They struggled
for five minutes, first one then the other
getting the best. When about three
feet from bench Taylor gave Davis
violent wrench, throwing him across
the srm of the bench. His body was
twisted over it and held there until as
Sistance arrived. An examination of
the body revealed the fact that Davis
must have been handled in terrible
manner. The breast bone was broken
in two, and every rib on one side was
broken except two, and three were
broken twice. The ragged edge of the
ribs sawed off the veins and arteries so
that the internal cavities were filled
with blood. After the fight the patient
was taken out for walk and dragged
around the grounds until he said he
could go no further. He was then taken
back, put to bed and died in few min

RATHER REMARKABLE.
One Train Dashes Clear Through
Another Without Hurting Any

BRAMPToN, Ont, Feb. 27.-As
Grand Trunk freight train was crossing
the Canadian Pacific track yesterday
freight train on the latter road dashed
into it, cutting its way through and
never stopping. Not wheel of the
Canadian Pacific train left the track.
The engineer and fireman jumped and
escaped uninjured. The brakemen ran
forward, setting the brakes, and on
reaching the engine brought the train
to stand. The train had then run two
and half miles past the scene of the
accident. No one was hurt, but con-
siderable damage to property was done.
