Malone has become very arrogant IN

He has served notice that 1.-The party

which neither the Nationa Committee
nor the Federal Government has any
business" and he proposes to kick over
the stepladder by the aid Of which he
succeeded in mounting his high horse.
The Little Gar" knows that the
Administration cannot afford to aban-
don him. He knows that his election
as we'll as that Of Foraker, Is presI-
dentisl contract to carry out which no
effort will be spared. He therefore
very confidently assumes the role OF
dictator not only over the Republicans
Of Virginia, but over the President ana

MURDERED HIS WIFE.
Mrs. Laree Carved to Death by
Her Husband,

PATERSON, n. j., Feb. 2s.-A ter
rible tragedy was enacted at No. 20
Chestnut street, this city. this afternoon.
Anthony Laree, Hollander, age thirty,
who has only been in this country four
months, was married in Holland about
six months ago to a beautiful young
girl,who came with him to America. She
was Laree's second wife,a was only
nineteen years old. She soon grew tired
of his eXacting ways after they reached
here, and as they had no means and he
would not work, the girl refused to re-
main dependent upon his friends, who
were hard working people, and went to
Ripper, at S99 Ellison street. where
she had been employed for
five or six weeks. Laree did not know
of this move, and his friends would not
tell him where his wife was. He
met her accidentally, however, and
made an appointment with her for this
afternoon at Mr.. Stulwater's house,
where the tragedy occurred. After
luncheon Mr.. Saltwater went out, leav-
ing Laree and his wife alone together.
When he returned about an hour later
he found the young wife lying in a.cor-
ner, with blood Issuing from a dozen
wounds in her head, neck, arms and
side. The woman was taken to st. Jo-
seph's hospital, where she lies in dy-
ing condition. The room In which the
stabbing took place is covered with
blood. Laree fed, taking with him the
knife with which he committed the
deed. The police tracked him by his
bloody footprints for long distance
through the Sandy Hill cemetery and
off in the direction of Passaic. To-
night Laree returned to Paterson and
was arrested. He had cut himself
badly during the struggle with his wife
and was seeking medical assistance.
He has made full confession.

PROMINENT MEN MISSING.
Three st. Louis Notables Have
Gone to Preaching Psychology.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-For two
years or more. three familiar figures
have not been seen on the streets of St.
Louis, and now comes a strange story
about their mysterious disappearance.
They are Col. CELSIUS Price, his brother
Quintus Price, sons of the famous
Confederate general "Pap" Price, and
DR.. Sylvester Nidelet, at one time coro-
ner of the city of st. Louis. There was
warm intimacy between the trio, who
devoted considerable time together to
psychic research and the explanation of
the infinite. TIE three friends had by
their long study of the mysteries Of
the universe. reached state Of
exaltation that was absolute belief in
the power of the divine. A near and
dear relative of Col. Price, a lady now
living and well known in Missouri
Mrs. Willis-was compelled to undergo
dangerous surgical operation in New
York. The three friends on their knees
at the bedside registered VOW that If
the lady be spared they would devote
the remainder of their lives to the
propagation of the holy truths in which
they believed, would reneunce the
world and work for the spiritual eleva-
ton of mankind. The lady lived, and
the trio kept their vows. They preached
on the streets, and were last seen by
nephew of Col. Price engaged in that
calling in Buffalo, N. Y. This is the
story told by relatives and dear friends,
and the prominence of the parties has
attracted much attention and comment
upon the rare and peculiar occurrence.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-The prospect

Terrible Accident During a Fire
at Milwaukee Last Night.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 2S.-Fire to-
night destroyed the building on Broad
way owned by Mrs. Bosworth, and oc-
cupied by j. E. Jenner & Co., milliners.
Jenner's loss is $4,000 to $4,000: insur-
ance $4,000. The loss ON building is
s30,0O0; insurance $4,000. When the
fire was practically eXtinguished the
four floors fell in, burying dozen fire.
men in the basement below. Their
comrades quickly replied to the groans
and pitiful appeals for help, and
one by one they were slowly eX-
tricated, the work occupying more
than an hour. All were quite
seriously injured and MANNED, and two
or three will probably die before MORN
ing. The fremen worked for two
hours in extricating the injured men
from the ruins. Shortly after midnight
the body of Edward Noonan, aged
tweDty-siX, unmarried, was taken out,
and it's believed that no others remain.
The injured men have all been re-

A Pennsylvania Farmer Is
Robbed Of $4,000 and
Brutally Murdered.
Desperate Fight Between a
Keeper and a Patient in
a Michigan Asylum.
The Patient Bent Over a
Bench and His Back
Broken.
Robert Mullen Shoots His
Brother-in-Law in a
Family Battle.

LIGoNIER, Pa. Feb. 2s.-News
reached this place about 10 o'clock this
morning of a bold and daring murder.
The. facts briefly given are as follows:
At Z o'clock last evening the house of
Herman Umberger. an aged farmer liv-
ing on the pike ten miles east of here,
near Jennerstown, Somerset county,
was entered by two masked men claim
ing they had a search warrant for jew
elry that had been stolen from a ped
dler in the Deighborhood short time
ago. MIR. Umberger innocently ac-
cempanied them through the house,
and when he was forced to open trunk
containing $4,000. he placed it in his
pocket. They then demanded him, at
the points of revolvers. to hand it over.
This he strenuously objected to, when
a regular battle ensued, in which they
fired five shots into his body killing
him almost instantly. They took the
money and fed in the darkness. The
aged wife witnessed the murder, but
was too old and feeble to be of any as
sistance to her husband. The murder
ers are supposed to reside in the COM
manity. Great excitement prevails,
and if the murderers are caught they
will undoubtedly be lynched.

WOULD Like 100000.
An Injured Claim Agent Sues
Villas and Dickinson.


Villas and Dickinson.
Harvey Spaulding, a claim agent of
this city, has brought suits for 100000
damages in each case against William
F. Villas, former postmaster general,
and Don M. Dickinson, the present
head of the postoffice department. Mr..
Spaulding alleges that a large number
of poStmaSterS of the third, fourth and
fifth classes put their claims against the
government for readjustment of salary
in his hands, and that after much labor
ana expense he secured the passage of
an act by congress directing the post
master general to readjust these claims.
He charges that both Mr.. Villas and Mr..
Dickinson, in their capacity as post
master general, have harassed him in
in every possible way in the preSenta-
ton of these claims; that they have,
with malicious intent to injure his busi-
ness, caused drafts for the payment of
postmasters' accounts adjusted to be
sent direct to the postmasters, accom-
penied by circular stating that no
agent was needed to prosecute these
claims, the purpose being to have the
plaintiffs clients believe that he
(Spaulding) had rendered them no serv-
ice, and that they were under no Obliga
ton to him tor the fees agreed upon.

FIGHT WITH A MADMAN.
William Davis Killed by Keeper
+ ~. at a Michigan Asylum.


s PONTIAC, Mich, Feb. 2S.-Last Sun
day William Davis, patient at the in
sane asylum, was killed by P. F. Tay-
lor, an attendant. To-day the coroner's
jury rendered verdict that the killing
was done in self defense. The circum-
stances are these: AS Taylor passed
Davis in the hail with another imbecile,
Davis, who was out Of hum0r about
something, struck Taylor in the neck.
Taylor left the other man, and grabbed
Davis about the waist. They struggled
for five minutes, first one then the other
getting the best. When about three
feet from bench Taylor gave Davis
violent wrench, throwing him across
the arm of the bench. His body was
twisted over it and held there until as
.sistance arrived. s An examination of
the body revealed the fact that Davis
must have been handled in a terrible
manner. The breast bone was broken
in two, and every rib on one side was
broken except two, and three were
broken twice. The ragged edge of the
ribs sawed off the veins and arteries so
that the internal cavities were filled
with blood. After the fight the patient
was taken out for walk and dragged
around the grounds until he said he
could go no further. He was then taken
back, put to bed and died in few min
uteS.

THE WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE
Racy Disclosures Expected Re-
garding the State Printing Of


MADISON, Wis, Feb. 2s.-By special
permission a bill was introduced in the
senate to-day authorizing the state
board of supervisors to build state re-
formatory for women and girls. A bill
was also introduced providing that cir
cult judges shall decide all cases heard
before them within six months after
hearing, or in case Of neglect or refusal
be cited to appear before the governor
and show cause, it being discretionary
with the executive to remove him if
cause be found insufficient. A resolu-
ton has been presented to adjourn sine
die March 20. Speaker Mills is suffer
ing from malarial fever, and M. C.
King was elected speaker pro TEN.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate alleged frauds in the state printing
Office has begun its work of examining
witnesses, and some interesting dis
closures affecting certain state officers
are expected. Ex-Adjt. Gen. Chapman
was the first witness put on the stand,
and his testimony reflected on certain
state official, whose name he refused to
divulge, in the matter of lobbying
against measure two years ago look
ing to economy in printing the state
roster of volunteer soldiers.

iStratiOn is complete, with the exception
to be named, and that no further change
will be made in the slate as at present
arranged. This is the makeup that re-
ceiveS the most credence: Secretary of
state, James g. Blaine; secretary of the
treasury, William Window; secretary
of war, Redtield Proctor; secretary of
the navy, to be filled; secretary of the
interior, John w. F. Swift; attorney
general, John w. Noble; postmaster
tary of agriculture, jeremiah Rusk.
1t is said tonight that Platt and Miller
are distinctly out of the race, and the
Platt men are much annoyed. New
York may get cabinet place, but it
depends entirely upon the temper of
her politicians. Gen. Harrison, after
hearing great deal about tile situation
in the Empire state, told Mr.. Morton
that if the Republicans there, without
regard to factions or personal difficult
ties, could unite in recommending some
man for a cabinet place, he would have
generous consideration. If such har-
mOny can be brought about. the man
named will be given the navy portfolio.
Senator Palmer is not believed to be
possibility any longer. In the first
place there was no request for his APP
pointment by the Republicans of
Michigan, and without such re-
quest, it is hardly probable that
with the great pressure for place,
man without his state back
ing would be chosen except on personal
grounds. In the next place, as Gen.
Harrison is reported to have said to the
Nebraska men. where a state had pre-
sented a candidate tor cabinet hOnorS,
and it had been found ineXpedient to
put his name on the list, it was hardly
to be expected that man not so pre-
Sented and supported should be chosen.
This was taken to dispose of the chances
of Robert W. Furnas, of Nebraska, for
secretary of agriculture. who had been
suggested when John ThurSton's name
was rubbed off, and would equally well
apply to Gen.Alger and Senator Palmer.
The Wisconsin delegation are still con-
tident that Gov. Rusk will have place.
But it is not to be secretary of war; that
appears to be conceded to eX-GOv. Proc
tor, and the only other place open to
him is that of secretary of agriculture.
The notable developement of the day
in the way of cabinet gossip is the en-
tire diSgruntlement of the New York
contingent. 1t is loudly proclaimed
that Platt and Miller are out of the
race. Early this evening, William Ell.
Seward, a son of the famous Secretary
Seward, began to take the position of
the compromise candidate for cabinet
honors for the Empire state. The Platt
and Miller men admitted that their ia
voriteS were distanced, and a majority
seemed to be in favor of Seward. The
name of Whitlaw Reid was vaguely
suggested as a sop to New York. but
the Republican editor was not held in
great favor by the professional politi-
Clans
