SLEW HIS EMPLOYERS WIFE.
A Wolverine Farm Hand Com
mits Murder and Suicide,

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. 49,
James Gilmore. a farm hand, murdered
the wife of John Mcdonnell, a farmer
of Tyrone township, few miles north
of this city, for whom he worked,
and then committed suicide. Nc
Donnell went hunting this morning.
leaving his home and farm in the keep
ing of his wife and hired man. Upon
his return home about noon he found
his wife dead in the house and Gilmore
a corpse in the wondS across the road.
The wife had been strangled with a
leather thong tightly wound about her
neck. and from the appearance of the
room had made desperate struggle for
her life. Gilmore committed SUI
icide with an old musket
loaded with buckshOt, and his
throat and breast were riddled with
bullets. The motive for the tragedy is
thought to have been Gilmore's infatua-
ton for the woman. When she refused
to take advantage of her husbands
absence to elope with him, Gilmore
first murdered her and then killed him
self. Gilmore was a bachelor. thirty
nine years old. and had worked for Ne
Donnell several years. The wife was

Action is proposed in congress to promote

five years or more. The operators at the

some evidence to the fact that all kinds OF

Interests one-Union Impractical

am in favor Of q commercial union be-
tween Minneapolis and st. Paul. and have al
ways been in favor of union OF that kind.
For years have believed that the points on
which our interests were the same were
many, and the points on which our interests
were different were very few and insignifi-
cant. In short, cannot see where there are
any diverse interests except among the local
real estate dealers at each end of the line.
Our commercial interests are certainly the
same. think there would be more jealousy
and pickering between the two different ends
of the city provided they were united under
one municipal union than there is now. or
than there has been in the past, and for that
reason would not favor municipal union.

ACTS OF THr; APOSTLES.
Mormon Dignitaries Deny all



Charges Against the Church.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 49,
Wilfred Woodruff. George Q. Cannon
and Joseph f. Smith, apostles of the
Mormon church, have issued another
manifesto unqualifedly denying all
charges made against the church in the
recent hearing before Judge Anderson.
So far from any doctrine or teaching of
the church being hostile to the United
States government, members of the
church are under divine command to
revere the constitution as a heaven in
spired instrument, and obey as supreme
all laws made in pursuance of its pro-
visions. The signers of the manifesto
regard the attempt to exclude aliens
from natur alization, and citizens from
elective franchise on account of MEM
bcrship in the Mormon church as i'm
polite and dangerous croachment
upon civil and religious liberty. They
earnestly appeal to the American press
and people not to condemn the Latter
Day Saints unheard.

believe that eventually, perhaps In the
near future, permanent union of the Twin
Cities may be made which might result to the
advantage of both cities. thus making large
and powerful municipality. The general
commercial. social and material interests of
the two cities are apparently tending in this
direction. am, however, of the opinion
that at the present time the people of neither
city are ready for the proposed union. The
question of union will have to be agitated
through the press and otherwise for some
considerable time; its advantages and disad-
vantages fully discussed: by this means the
people will eventually be ready to act in
telligently upon the question of permanent
union. j. ). PMLsBURY.

/ can see no reason for union. 1t is quite
possible that good reasons for commercial
union between the two cities exist but they
do not happen to appear to me now. There
are some reasons why such q union should
not be made. Each city has already largo

would enlarge the present difficulties and
evils of municipal gOvernment-they are bad
