AN UNFAITHFUL FRIEND.
A Best Man Elopes with the Intended Bride,
and Triple Tragedy EnsueS.

CHICO, CAL, July 26.-An elopement
which occurred here few days ago cul-
minated in tragedy this afternoon. A
wedding was to have taken place, last Mon
day, between a young man named Ray
nalist, and Miss Eva Adkins. beautiful
young lady, seventeen years of age.
Bierces most intimate friend was hand
some young man. named Neil Hubbs. and
he was to have acted as best man at the
wedding ceremony. The day before the
marriage was to occur. Miss Adkins left her
home, and went to a neighboring town
with Hubbs, where the couple were mar
Iied. s IN They .h returned here the next
Mrs Barney. Bierce heard of the intended
visit, and went to Mrs. Barneys house be-
fore them. When Hubbs and his wife ar
rived. he entered the parlor and fired at
Hubbss with revolver. Hubbs fell to the
Four shots apiece were tired. when Hubbs
ran out of the room. Berce then placed
the revolver to Mrs. Hubbs's head and
hred, 1nhlctlng q severe, but not dangerous
wound. Hubbs, re-entered the room, and
beat Bierce to- the floor with his revolver.
Bierce then dragged himself into an ad-
joining room. placed the pistol to his head
and blew his brains out. He lived about
an hour and half. He also received two
bullets in the body. and Hubbs was shot
through the abdomen, the ball penetrating
the spleen. His recovery is doubtful.
Later investigation shows that when
young Bierce heard of the couples in
tended visit to Mrs. Barney, he went
quickly to the house of the latter, stated
he was ill; and asked to lie down
on the bed just off from the parlor.
He had evidently been running, and, as he
appeared quite exhausted. he was at once
shown to the bed room. In this he remained
until Hubbs and his wife had taken seats
in the parlOr. Mrs. Barney had set her
Bierce, and when the elopement and mar.
riage to Hubbs took place she expressed the
wish never to see her daughter in her house
again. In day or two, however, she
relented, and invited the couple home. 1t
was in response to her invitation that the
fSSeRe sSeRp 4st oaled v.t today After this being fsw
stepped into the parior, spoke
formal word or two, then said: "You are a
happy. looking welded couple" and
retired again into the bedroom. Hubbs
holding it at his side. Bierce then opened
the door again and the shooting occurred
as stated above.
The room where the fighting took place
presented horrible spectacle. The walls
were spattered with blood, the, frrni-
and large pool. Of blood 'e covered YAd the
floor. Miss Adkins is Mrs. Barney's
daughter by her first husband. She gradu-
ated from the high-schoOl here few months
since. Bierce has been employed on news
paper at Red Bluff until lately.
Mrs. Barnes was placed underSarrest to-
night ton suspicion of being implicated in,
or having previous knowledge of, the plot
OF Bierce against Hubbs.

CURIOUS CASE OF POISONING.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENsBURG, Ind, July 26.-The town of

oning. Thefacts. as gathered from visit to
the victims with the prosecuting attorney,

widow about fifty-five years old, lives on a
fifty-acre farm near town. Her only child.

whereabouts has been unknown. On Tues
day. evening Edmund A. Chapman, Q
nephew of the elder Mrs. Critser, came to
evening Lizzie. Georges wife. called there
for few minutes to get some milk for the
children. While the old lady went to the
spring-house for the milk Lizzie was in the
kitchen alone. The next morning. at
aunt, Mrs. Critser, were both taken viO-
lently sick and threw up most of what they
had just eaten. Their lives seemed in inn
minent danger for several hours. but itnow

English Delegates Disgusted with the Wis

English Delegates Disgusted with the Wis
ionary Ideas Of Continental Socialists.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, July 26.-The English delegates
to the Socialist convention in Paris, known
as the international labor congress, have
come back with no very exalted opinion of
their foreign brethren who took part in the
proceedings. They say that their conti-
mental associates are flighty, and care far
more about displaying their oratorical pow
ers than agreeing upon measures tending to
advance the cause. The main object of the
English contingent was the promotion of
the scheme to affiliate progressive societies,
no matter by what name known. with
trades-unlons everywhere. This was too
practical for the Others, who said such an
important proposition demanded much de-
liberation. and then refused to deliberate
upon 1t. Their idea seems to be that their
English associates are base, groveling souls,
thinking only of the things of this earth,
and unable to appreciate rhetorical flights
about liberty and mysterious hints about
the mighty deeds to be done soon. Messrs.
Mardis, Hyndman and others of the En-
glish Socialists are disgusted with the issue
less outcome of the congress. but are
still frank enough to admit that
their views had been somewhat modified
by the representations of the better in
formed of their continental confreres who
pointed out to them that trades-unions in
England were not what they were on the
continent. Thus. when the strike of the
Berlin bakers seriously disturbed the trade,
the government practically rendered it inn
possible for the men TO succeed by detailing
bakers from the ranks of the army to take
their places. AS Herr Liebknecht, of the
Marist wing of the Socialists, remarked,
this could not have been done in England,
and it is Just this adverse governmental in
reference which makes the labor problem
III other European countries something
much different than In England.

A Lawyer Charged with Embezzling S2O,OOo
Belonging to the University of Michigan.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal

King, lawyer and real estate dealer OF
this city, who. for twenty years. has been
treasurer of the fund for superannuated
professors of the University of Michigan.
is an embezzler. The amount is es-
timated to be fully $4,000. The
fact of the embezzlement was discovered
at the June meeting of the Alumni Associa-
tion when a successor was chosen to King,
but it was not made public till to-day. At
that time King turned over 5000 worth OF
property to the trustees, admitting that
there might still be a shortage of $4,000.
King has lived in this city nearly all his
life, and was always considered . thor
oughly honest man. 1t is stated that he
dabbled in wheat in 1882, and was caught
in q terrible squeeze. From this blow at
his financial standing he has since failed to
recover King declares the shortage must
be due to his carelessness in bookkeeping.

The Alien Contract abOr Law Upheld IN tho
Case of an Imported Book-Keeper.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The Secretary of
the Treasury, SO-daT decided an interest
ing question ARISING ucder the alien con-
tract-labor law. Z seems that Irwin g.
Sellers, merchants of E1g.9 nd. who have a
branch house IN New York city, recently
discharged the Gook-keeper in their New
York house, an American named James I.
Watson, and sent over a book-keeper in
the home office, named Edward T. Hennes-
sy, to take his place. Watson complained
to the collector at New YORK, and the
result was that when Hennessy az
rived at that port the collector
refused to allow him to land on the ground
that it would be violation of the contract
labor law. An appeal was taken to tho
Secretary of the Treasury, and he instruct
ed the collector to allow Hennessy TO land
on giving bond In $500 for his return in
case it was decided that he came within
the prohibtory class. The question was
referred to the Solicitor of the Treasury,
and that officer gave an opinion that as
Hennessy had clearly come to this country
under a contract to labor, his landing
would be aviolation of law. The Secretary
comedies in this opinion, and instructed
the collector at New York to compel Hen
messy to return to England.
