A BLOODY AFFAIR.
A Wyoming Banker Siashed With n
Butcher Knife

Cu EyENNE, Wyo., May "a Special Iele
gram to The BEE. Information rea cnes
here from Green River, Wyo., of an unfor
tunate affray. Hunter 81 Morris are bankers
at that point. Some rumors rejecting upon
their business were traced by Mr.. Hunter to
q rather shiftless fellow named Peter Appel.
The pair met in butcher shop. Hunter ac-
cused Appel of setting the rumor afloat. This
Appel acknowledged, but claimed to have Oh
tanned his information from q rachman liv
ing thirty miles distant. Hunter doubted the
statement, and a wrangle followed, during
which Hunter struck Appel and knocked him
down. The latter, upon arising, grabbed up
a butchers carving knife and slashed Hunter
across the face. The blow tore the cheek
from the bone, completely severed the end of
the nose, and gashed his throat, but for
tunately without severing the jugular or any
artery Hunter was picked up bleeding pro-
fusely. a surgeon was close at hand, and
Immediately replaced the severed nose, tied
up the blood vessels and sewed the wound up
with hundred stitches. Hunter is in a bad
way. Appel was at once arrested and bound
over to await the result of the injuries.

ONLY A SLIGHT FAVOR.
Mrs. Core Makes n Peculiar Request
Which Her Husband Refuscs.

New YORK, May 24.-lSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE THE first favor Mrs. Sadie j.
Core says she ever asked her husband,
Francls II. Core, to grant, was n most ex-
traordinary one. The modest request was
for permission to marry another man. This
was the way she put the matter to him in
letter.
~ have an offer of marriage from a man
whom have thought great deal of for q
long time, so what writo is to either give
you q divorce or get one from you for that is
the only way will ever be happy. And if
that doesn't happen, shall only go from bad
to worse. AS you have been married three
times, L would rather let YOU have me get
divorce from you, but If YOU want the public
to think you have left me, you can have it
the other way If you WISH You always said
you would do anything in the world to make
me happy, and now is your chance This is
the first time 1 have asked you favor.
What s the use of being linked to a woman
who cares nothing for your
MIR. Core was unreasonable enough to inn
agine that she could ask for something be-
side a divorce, and he declined to grant the
little favor. Mrs. Core waited patiently for
a little while, and then began a suit for sepa-
ration, which came up before Judge Sedge-
wick yesterday on q motion for heavy ali
mony. Core is man of large income, we'll
known IN business circles.

PANAMA, May 24.-The unfortunate con-
sequences of the canal smash are becoming
more marked every day, and the deplorable
condition of affairs has but one outlet

Jamaica government has already sent away
1000 people and has ISSUED tickets for 5000
more, and these will leave by the earliest

different depots with their tickets in their
hands, but without food and almost without
shelter, and the tropical wet season is in its
full energy. After all the distressed for
eigners are removed there will still be much
suffering and want here, which cannot be
even ameliorated until the resumption of

Thessouthern Presbyterians.

CHATTANOOGA, May "a. In tho Southern
Presbyterian general assembly to-day
several members, who voted against the
action Of the assembly in adopting the CO.
operation report filed written dissent,
stating that the assembly should have first
referred tho matter to the presbyteries for
an expression of opinion. The report of the
standing committee OH foreign missions,
while approving cooperation in foreign
fields, dscourages every union of mission
aries or churches where ''distinctive fea-
lures of our government are surrendered"
and says, ''those entering into
such union will no longer be considered
our missionaries" This report was referred
to special committee to report at the next
assembly. A telegram was received from
the northern assembly at New York stating
their action on cooperation. The telegram
was referred to special committee. This
committee reported this evening the follow
ing answer to the northern general assem-
bly,:
1--WE concur in the action of your assem-
bly, as conveyed in your telegram"
This report was adopted, those who OPP
posed the joint report last night being ex-
cused from voting.

An Effort to bs Made TO reconcile tho
Republican Factions.

RICHMOND, Va, May A-[special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. 1T is stated on the au-
thority of a prominent thoroughly we'll
informed Malone leader that a reconciliation
is about TO be effected between the warning
factions Of the party in Virginia. President
Harrison has of late been giving consider
able atten ton 10 Mahone's peculiar methods
OF controlling the party machinery in the
state. The basis of the proposed comprO-
mise is the changing OF the present plan Of
party organization so as 10 place /lc selection
of county and city chalrmen in the hands OF
the people instead of with Malone or any
other chairman of the state committee.
The point proposed TO be conceded under
this plan is one for which Ex-Governor Cam
eron, John $. Wise aud other anti Malone
leaders in this state have contended for sew
eral years. II is said to have been submitted
TO President Harrison ana TO meet with his
hearty approval. Secretary Blaine is said
to manifest a deep interest in effecting the
reconciliation. Colonel II. q. Farsons, who
is Blaine's most active coadjutor III the

DIR. Cronln's remains will be taken to-

estimated will net the committee of arrange
ments 35 cents for each fare. The sum thus
raised, it is announced, will be devoted to
the discovery and prosecution Of the DOCTORS

The Carlson cottage has been thoroughly
ransacked. A new brush, such as painters
ordinarily use In coarse work, was found in
the attic. The hairs were smeared
with paint similar TO that with which tn Q
blood stains had been partly obliterated
In the attic was also found a pot containing a
quantity of the same sort of paint. The in
dications were that the painting had been
done some time after the killing, possibly an;
volving return to the house by the muir
derers or their accomplices.
A son-in-.aw of old man Carlson tonight
said the cottage was rented in March, and
the rent paid in advance. The man who
brought tina bed, bureau and some rugs to
the house. told Mrs, Carlson his sister was in
q hospital, sick, and that before moving he
would wait until she was able to leave
back with another man. They then
informed the Carlsons that they were broth
ers and that their name was Williams. When
the month was up on the Goth of April they
came around and paid another months rent
saying their sister was sill sick
The old folks became suspicious after
this and determined there was something
wrong and decided not to let the man have
the house after this month. The singular
thing is that last Thursday another man who
had not be seen before, came to the house
to pay the third months rent. Mrs. Carlson
refused to rent the house longer, saying they
proposed to sell it. The man said he would
return next day to take the furniture away.
He did not come the next day and the furni-
ture is in the house vet

A Bad steer for Burglars.

Hot SPRINGS, Oak, May "a Special to
THE BEE. AN attempt was made last night
to rob the Minnekahta. bank, of this place.
Tho burglars effected an entrance through
the rear door by bursting off the locks and
bolts. A hole was drilled through the top of
the safe; and long half-nch augur run
down through the inside drawers of the safe,
was left there by the cracksmen. The top
of the safe was covered with powder.
Shortly after midnight mad yearling steer
was cavorting around IN the immediate
vicinity of the oank, bunting into buildings
and making considerable noise. The mad
antics of the animal aroused some of the
citizens, and 1t is thought that this is what
saved the bank safe. The steer had been
made mad by eating some poisonous weed
and was found dead. this morning, in the
rear of Fargo & Co.'S. store.

ters of publication, etc.

that he would vote for no re-
port that asked one christian to

that part of the reports which reads: while
conceding the existing situation, it (the
northern assembly,, approves the policy of
separate churches, presbyteries and synods,
subject to the choice Of the colored people
themselves" ...

section the paper asa whole was adopted,

CATTLE EXPORTING.
The Argentine Republic to Pay a Five
Per Cent Bounty.

WASHINGTON, May 24.--E. L. Baker
United States consul at Buenos Ayres. in a
report to the department of state, says the
cattle industry Of the Argentine Republic is
in such languishng condition that a law
has been passed offering a guarantee of
per cent for ten years on the capital en-
ployed in the business of exporting fresh or
preserved beef The report says it is
understood that several establishments are
preparing to take advantage of the
guarantee provided by the government
and are going into the business on a large
scale, with special steamers fitted up for the
traffic and warehouses in England and
France. Great things are expected from
the bounty law But Consul Baker says he
does not believe the law will hurt the United
States beef shippers much until new methods
are adopted for the preparation of beef for
expectation. Stalled cattle are quite un-
known in the country and all bullocks for
market are taken directly off the grass, the
meat, of course, being soft and watery.
