LOVES TRIUMPH.
Miss May Russell of the London Cavity
Company Welded in Detroit

Miss May Russell of the London Cavity
Company Welded in Detroit.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 6-To-day an interesting
little romance came to light in this city which
is quite likely to create something
OF 4 sensation in two countries.
Last week, Frank G. Packenham of this
city, and Miss May Russell of the London
Gayety burlesque company were quietly mar
ried at Detroit, Mich. SO quietly wss the we'd
ding ceremOnr conducted that few of Mr.. Pack
enhams most intimate friends have heard of the
affair. And with this wedding too, the climax
in a romantic little drama was TO have been
reached. Mr.. Packenham, as his name sug-
gests, is an Englishman. His family is among
the most wealthy and aristOcratio
in England. Somewhere about five
years ago he met Miss Russell in London. Ii
was a case of love on both sides Packenham,
senior, opposed the match, and Frank was sent
off to America with plenty of money in his
pocket lie came to Minneapolis about three
years ago, and is now of the firm OF Drennen
& Co., dealers in crOckery and glassware.
During the engagement of the CAVITY company
in Chicogo Miss Russell secured a vaca-
ton and came to Minneapolis. The
length OF her visit is unknown, but it is
sufficient to say that Mr.. Packen had accom-
panied her on her return East. The wedding
at Detroit was the result. Ii is said that Miss
Russell will leave the state as soon as her
American engagement is completed.

Harry Bishon suicides.

BLOOMINGTON, H., May 6.-Harry w. Bish-
op, the widely-known ex-minstrel manager,
known as Harry Robinson the man with the
"silver horns," committed suicide yesterday
morning by taking morphine. He was found
dying at his hotel. His act was doubtless pre-
cipitated by the fact that bis wife, formerly
Ella Kerr of Lexington, ILL.,, obtained a di-
vorce from him Thursday on the ground of
cruelty. He left letter telling that he had
taken poison, fearing that he would become
helpless from paralysis, from which he was a
sufferer He had but 20 cents in his possession,
though he was once wealthy. His age was
ffty-ive and he was a native Of England. His

A DEADLY RIOT.
Railroaders and Brick Yard Men Fight
Nearly All Night.


NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., May LAST night
and this morning a fatal riot occurred at Sayer-
vile brick-yards, five miles below this city.
Agent P. +. HendricksOn, with 100 men, started
last night to put in a spur from the
main line of the Raritan River railroad
across the land of ex-Freeholder Ed
ward Furman down through the brick-yards
to William +. Fishers yard. Furman was
opposed TO their crossing his land and called
out his men. The railroad men were reinforced
bv brickyard men favorable TO the road until
800 men were engaged in the fight by midnight.
Furman's men attacked the railrOaders and
burned the ties, material and car. Pistols,
clubs and stones were freely used.
George Kissenger, one of Furman's labOrers,
was killed outright. He was knocked down with
a club and a sharp-pointed crOwbsr was
jammed through his head. John Kennedy. a
railroad man from South Amboy, was so badly
injured that he died in an hour At o'clock
this morning Sheriff Flick OF Middlesex county
called out posse of fifty men and went to the
scene. When they reached the place all was
quiet, and the railroad men had stopped work
to recruit their force.
The RariIan River railroad is a new enter
PRISE running from South Amboy to Bound
Brook. Gen. f. T. Ripley of New York is
president. Furman complains that the COM
pany is crossing his land without his consent
which the company claims he had given. Up
to o'clock this evening all was quiet, but the
railroad men, who are encamped IN the woods
near the disputed spot, are being heavily rein
forced from all along the line and trouble is
expected tonight, as both parties are deter
mined.

POOR GROWING WEATHER.
The Absence of Rain Has Placed the Crops
in n Critical Condition.

in Critical Condition.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Weather crop bulle-
tin for the week ending Saturday, May 4:
The week was decidedly cooler than usual in
all sections except New England and northern
Michigan. Over the wheat regions of the CEN
tral valleys and the Northwest the daily tenn
perature ranged from three degrees to six de-
grees below the normal, while in the upper
Ohio valley it was from six degrees to nine de-
grees lower than usual. The general cool
weather during the week has largely reduced
the seasonal excess of temperature previously
reported, but the season continues from seven
TO fourteen days earlier than usual in the eX-
treme northwest and slightly in advance
throughout the northern States. Light frosts
occurred on the first of the week in the North
west and later over the central valleys.
The rainfall for the week has been generally
below the normal, although large excesses are
reported in Virginia, northern New England.
western New York and northern Michigan.
Very little rain occurred in Ohio Indiana cen
tral and southern Illinois, and there was a total
absence OF rain in Iowa, southern Minnesota
and Dakota, northern Nebraska and western
portions OF Wisconsin. The seasonal rainfall
continues in excess on the Atlantic coast south
of New York and from the Texas coast north
ward to Dakota. There is large deficiency in
rainfall in the Ohio valley, where crops are
greatly IN need OF rain, and over the entire
region from Mississippi nOrthward to Michigan,
including Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana
and portions of illinois, where less than 20
per cent. of the seasonal rainfall has occurred.
The cool weather during the week retarded
growth, and was generally unfavOrable TO crops
in the Northwest, and some damage is reported
to fruit and gardens from frost in that section
and in the central valleys. Cold, cloudy
weather and rain in Michigan, Ohio and In
diana caused the crops to advance but little,
and the absence of moisture in Indiana and
Ohio has placed the crops in those states in a
critical condition. In Kentucky, Tennessee
and Arkansas the timely rains although less
than the normal amount benefited crops. The
tobacco prospects are reported as poor, and
the growth of cotton slo,r

ARKANSAS CITY, May 6.-The suffering of
the bafiled boomers finds most prominent evil
denee along this northern border. Yesterday
1000 wagons in the march down and S00wagons
on the way back were counted. The groves in
the Arkansas and Walnut river valleys that
offered camps for the boomers before the de-
scent are filling again with the returning un-
fOrtunates. There are hundreds of families
among them who have sold everything to make
the trip, and now have nothing left. The sight
of men, women and children. who are thus un-
provided for and desolate with the mere frames
of horses surviving to drag them along is
pitiful.

Oklahoma City is the most promising town

occur in Oklahoma.

The Mayor of Covington Killed BY a Negro
Resisting Arrest.


MEMPHIS, May 5.-A tragedy occurred near
Covington, Upton county, Tennessee, last
night, which resulted in the killing of w. T.
Douglass, mayor of that city. 1t seems a war
rant had been issued for the arrest of Henry
Donaldson, negro, who was charged with at
tempting to rape a white woman. Mayor
Douglass was one Of posse of ten men who
went to the negro's house to effect his arrest
They found his cabin closed, and called upon
him to open the door. Receiving no answer
they gave warning that unless the door was
opened they would break it down, at the same
time informing him that they had a warrant for
his arrest. Just at this period a gun was thrust
through the door, and discharged by lie n gro
on the inside. The contents struck douglass
who was in 'front.' killing him instantly. Being
dark and fearing another discharge, the posse
Immediately retreated, and Donaldson sue
ceeded in making his escape. He is still at
large.
Mayor Douglass was very popular. He was
about twenty-seven years old, and leaves n
young wife to mourn his sudden death. If
Donaldson is caught the laws delay will hardly
interfere with his immediate trial outside of a
temple of justice.

a New Well at an Estimated Capacity of
One thousand Barrels Per Day.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May 6.-[Special. !
Tremendous excitement created here tonight
by striking oil at depth of 1000 feet. When
oil was reached, a jet spurted up sixty feet
into the air, and heavy flow, six inches in
diameter, began. The pressure was so great it
could not be shut of, and in a short time the
ground for a square around the we'll was
flooded several inches. The drillers say it is
the biggest well they ever struck. The esti-
mated flow is one thousand barrels per day.
At late hour the well has been partially
plugged, but considerable oil is still escaping
Fears are entertained that the flooded ground
will catch fire from the sparks of passing loco
motives. Briggs & Co.'S big lumber-yard,
nearby, adds much to the excitement
