A COLD, CRUEL MURDER.
A Man and His Wife at Mount Sterling, Wis.
are Shot While Asleep.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
MILWAUKEE, Dec. Boa terrible and
mysterious double murder was committed
early yesterday morning at Mount Ster-
ling, in Crawford county, about twenty
miles from Roscobel Jerry O'Neil, a
wealthy farmer, and his wife were muir
dered in their bed by an unknown assassin.
The crime is peculiar one. Just before
daybreak the eldest daughter was awak-
ened by hearing the report of pistol. The
next instant she heard another shot fired.
She rushed to the room occupied by her
father and mother. This room was on the
ground floor, and one of the windows was
open. She looked at the open window
first, and running to it looked out but saw
no one, and turned around and lighted lamp
which stood on dressing case. A CHASTITY
sight met her sight. Her father lay in bed
with purple spot in his forehead, show
ing where a bullet had entered his brain.
Her mother was lying across the bed as if
she had fallen when attempting to get out
of the bed. Both were dead. Five other
members of the family slept in rooms in the
second story of the house. None of them
had heard the shots fred. The frightened
daughter shrieked and rushed for the door.
She aroused the sleeping members of the
household. TIE men folks rushed
downstairs and INTO the room They
shook the boz IS and shouted the
names of the stricken ones. Then they
fell back in horror, for both were stone
dead. Mrs. O'Neil had been snUJ through
the heart. One of the men ran to the
nearest house and gave the alarm, and soon
men were out hunting for the murderer,
but not trace could they find. There was
no snow on the ground ana there were no
tracks TO indicate whether the murderer
had fed. Parties have been out all day, but
nothing has been discovered. Not thing
in the house was touched, and if it was
robber who committed the bloody deed he
was discovered before he had begun his
work. 1t is thought strange that
no one was awakened by the
shots except the Oldest daughter, as
five grown people slept overhead
and the floors and walls are not thick |
O'Ne1 and his wife are both about fifty |
years of age and had lived in Crawford |
county for many years. They were we'll |
TODD and the dead man had been e farmer |
all his life. There is great excitement in |
the vicinity of Mount Sterling, and thor |
ough investigation will be made by the |
county officials

Direct to Salt Lake.

A San Francisco paper says: Another
instance of the enterprise of the Union
Pacific company was learned at the local
offices yesterday. At present the company
has narrow guage line from Ogden to
to Pocatello, which prevents trains from
Portland running into Salt Lake without
making detour of over hundred miles
Last week contracts were let for broad
guaging this line. Not only will this
change overcome the difficulty referred to,
but cars then will be run straight through
from Salt Lake to Helena and Butte,
Mont, as well as from San Francisco over
the Central Pacific to the same places. At
present a change of cars is absolutely
necessary, and freight has to be transfer
red from narrow guage to broad guage
cars, or vice versa. The contract has been
let to Fitzpatrick & Collins, and work is to
be commenced at once. When completed,
saving of at least one day will be made
on freight shipments, aud of six hours on
passenger travel

Boston, Dec. 30-Insurance Commits
sioner Merrill has written an open letter
TO President Beers, of the New York Life
Insurance company, one of the three
largest life insurance companies in the
world, pointing out what he calls the IN
lawful actions of said company. He
charges the company with issuing q mis-
leading policy and making unfair discrlmi-
nation among insurants. The commits
sioner says that recently there came to the
notice of his department form of policy
issued by the company called r. Ordinary
life distribution policy" A careful exam
ination of this policy, he says, sftHvs it to
be not wholly inconsistent with the spirit
of the statute, but contrary to its
language, while its provisions render
it unfair, misleading and ensnaring.
Under its terms, and in the practice of
companies discrimination is made among
insurants of the same class and insurance
is provided in manner not permitted by
law. Besides being unlawful, the terms
and conditions attached render it to an ex
perienced applicant very complicated and
liable to misunderstanding and deception.
There is, he says, no possible advantage in
it's intricacies to compensate for the con-
fusion and liability to error and disappoint-
ment of the insured, and the only
the manner of constructing the
premium is to enable the company
to evade the law and continue the forbid
den rebate practice. at is clear" the
commissioner says, that this scheme in
its general outline is such departure from
the established principles of advance pay
ment, or the old line life insurance, as to
justify under the law a restraint of its pro-
secution by any company authorized to
operate within the commonwealth. If
these policies are allowed to continue, not
alone will the particular company which
adopts it suffer in the character and in the
quality of its business, but all companies
will be compelled to struggle losingly under
unjust competition or adopt similar unlaw-
full schemes with general decentralization
and loss to the whole life insurance inter
est''
Major Benjamin, of California, the New
England manager of the New York Life
Insurance company, said to-day he had re
ceived copy of the insurance commission
er's circular, but did not think it incumbent
upon him to say anything, inasmuch as it
was addre ssed to the president of the COM
pany.
President Beers, of the New York Life
Insurance company, tonight handed the
Associated Press letter in reference to
the communication of the insurance com
missioner of Massachusetts. In it he saws
that the policy and its terms of payment
have been well considered, and the plan is
beyond question perfectly legitimate and
safe, and has no resemblance to the as
sessment plan. There is absolutely nothing
in the policy which is covered or secret,
and it makes no discrimination whatever.

Mr.. Cameron on the Situation.

Chief of Construction Cameron, of the
Union Pacific, returned yesterday from
Utah, where he has been 10 start the ex-
tension toward Los Angeles. Utah, he
says, is on the eve of rafting boom. The
history of Colorado ten years ago will be
repeated. The Utah Central and the Den
yer & Rio Grande have simply been hold
ing the ground while the country has been
growing up around them and needing
more roads. Somebody will go in there
and build them. Will our extension of the
Utah Central meet the want! Only
partially. 1t is just part of the develop
ment that is needed. l believe that there
will be mile of road built in Utah for
every day of the next 500 days after the
first of January. He said that about next
midsummer the new extension of the
Union Pacific to the Pacific coast would be
completed to point on the Nevada line.
There is no place where the road will stop,
but town will be started there by the
road.-Omaha World,

The Pullman Improvement.

Among the recent improvements by the
Pullman Car company in passenger car con-
struction is the use of an angle iron end
frame which extends from the bottom of
the car on one side, over the top and down
to the bottom on the other side. This is
used in connection with sheet steel hori-
zontal end plate located just back of the
buffer, which is especially devised to pre-
vent the telescoping of cars by other cars
and locomotives in case of collision. 1t is
believed by some that this end construction
is superior in strength to the vestibule, and
the two used together will undoubtedly
make the strongest cars yet known. This
design was invented by Mr.. Sessions, man
ager of the Pullman works, and patent
upon it has been applied for.

Mr.. Cummings Successor.

SAphe Omaha RGiliCdy Reporter has the fol-
towing concerning Mr.. Ressiguie, who sue
ceeds General Manager Cumming to- NOR
row: ''Mr. Ressiguie was born November
10, 1S47, in Green county, Wisconsin. At
the age of fifteen, he began his railway
career as u messenger boy in the service of
the Chicago & Northwestern railway at
GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin. 4 year later he
had mastered the mysteries of the tele-
grapher's key, and was promoted to the
position OF agent and operator. He con-
tinued to fill that position until 1871, when
he was made chief clerk in the superin-
tendents office on the same line. In 1876
he resigned to accept a similar position
with the Chicago. Burlington g. Quincy,
where for four years he remained virtually
at the head of that Office At the end of
that time he was promoted to similar duties
in the general managers Office, where he
continued until 1855, when he was APP
pointed superintendent of the Illinois
division of tae G. b. & Q. His reputation
as a first-class railroader won him the con-
fidence of the late Thomas J. Potter, and
when that gentleman accepted the manage
ment of the Union Pacific in 1887, one of
his first official acts was to secure the ser
vices of Mr. Ressiguie. In October of that
year Re vas appointed superintendent of
the Il ano division of the Union Pacific
railway. His administration of that divi-
sion was most successful, and when he
was transferred to the Nebraska division a
ye& later, he left many warm friends in
the far west who will warmly welcome his
return. His appointment to the position
of general manager is one of the best that
has been made By the present management,
and it meets the hearty approval of every
man in the service. The employees of the
western division and the citizens of Salt
lake are to he congratulated on securing
such an able officer and worthy citizen.'

AT THE TABERNACLE.

The speakers at the tabernacle on Sun
day were Apostle Heber J. Grant, Apostle
Moses Thatcher and Elder John Morgan.
marks, said that the saints should not feel
to resent the teachings that may show
them their own individual faults. They
should rather feel willing to be told of their
faults, so that they might know how to
overcome them. The history of the Latter
day Saints alone is a strong evidence of
their independence of character, and that
they are the very opposite of what their
not temporal comfort and beds of ease that
were promised to those who identified
themselves with the church of Christ; but
they were taught to expect tribulations and
prosecutions for the sake of the gospel.
Their forbearance and patience under these
things, together with the utter disregard
with which they looked upon the pleasures
of this world and upon the inducements
which were offered them if they should
abandon their religion, are strong evil
dences of their sincerity and of their testi-
mony in regard to the gospel.
Apostle Moses Thatcher referred to the
integrity, thrift and industry of the Lat
ter-day Saints; and, in confederation OF
this, drew attention to their achievements
III GulS L6rrlGOry. LII speaking VI IuS
measures which have been framed against
the Latter-day Saints, the speaker said that
it often happens that that which seems
curse may prove blessing, and that that
which seems blessing according to the
natural view of things, may prove a curse.
BY way of illustration the speaker quoted
the case of number of residents of the
territory of Arizona who, being obliged to
leave their homes there, took up their
quarters in the state of Chihuahua,
Mexico. But they were not long their
when an edict was issued for their eXpul-
sion from that state. This appeared to be
great calamity to these Latter-day
Saints; but it so happened that the action
which was taken against them led to an
investigation of their condition and of the
propriety of carrying out the requirements
of the edict. The result was that these
poor settlers were allowed to continue
their stay there; and it has been proved
that no better class of citizens are subject
to the Mexican government thaa the
Latter-day Saints.
Elder John Morgan spoke upon the
privileges that are enjoyed by the Latter
day Saints as a community. Through
their faith and testimony of the gospel
they are enabled to bear patiently and
with fortitude the trials that are placed
upon them, for they hope that the time
will come when in the providences of the
Almighty, they shall become blessing to
the nation

Speculations about the probable date OF
the worlds destruction are ridiculous.
When a man dies that's the end of the
world to him; and if the reader of this par
agraph is troubled with bad cough, cold
or sore throat, or difficulty of breathing,
hoarseness or any affection of the bron-
chial tubes, the best thing he can do is to
postpone the fatal event indefinitely by a
prompt resort to Hale's Honey of Hore
