A MOTHERS AWFUL DEED.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, April Mrs. Mar
garet Kinlein'a and her three children were
buried to death in their home, 554
Fifteenth street, early this morning. The
house is small two-story frame building,
two doors from Walnut street, and Mrs.
Kinlein, with her children occupied the
three rooms on the lower floor. Upstairs
an old man named Lawrence Jung lived
with his son and two daughters, and they
were awakened about O'Clock by the
smell of smoke, which seemed to come
from the room below. The son got
up, and going outside, saw smoke pouring
from the lower rooms. He smashed in
window. but got no response, and then
turned in fire alarm. 1t was an awful
sight that met the firemen, who arrived at
the house soon after o'clock, in response
were three rooms, and in the middle room,
the doors of which had been tightly closed,
the charred bodies of Mrs. kiniein and
two sons, John and George. aged and
years respectively. were found. Later the
body of the infant son. Richard, aged .
years, was found in the basement,
holes having burned through the floor
through which the body had fallen. There
wrs every indication that the mother had
deliberately burned herself and children
to death. They had all occupied the same
bed. The smoke from the fire built be-
meath it had smothered them all. Mrs
Kinlein's body was terribly disfigured.
The clothing and hair had been burned off
and her two feet were nearly gone. The
children, too, were horribly burned. Mrs.
Kinlein's husband, who was a carpenter,
died about ten months ago, and she sup
ported herself by taking in washing.

THE NEW MEXICO BOND FIGHT.

SANTA FE, n. NJ, April 2.-The repre-
sentatives of E. N. Color, of New York,
holder of the $150,000 in Santa Fe county
bonds issued in aid of the New Mexico and
Southern Pacific railway on the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe corporation, came
before the county board today and served
the clerk thereof with writ of mandamus,
commanding the board to refund the
securities, The writ is peremp-
tory, and must be obeyed be-
fore 10 a. m. on Wednesday next.
Commissioner Sloan and Clerk Garcia
were present at the appointed hour for
opening the regular monthly session of the
county board, and acknowledged the serv-
ice, but the other two commissioners were
nowhere to be found. Later in the day the
sheriff was sent out to find the absentees
and explain to them the peremptory ma
ture of the writ, and he succeeded in find
ing Commissioner Martinez at home and
sick. That member said he would re-
spond tomorrow and act with Commits
sioner Sloan in obeying the courts order.
Thus far this is the outcome of
the commissionership struggle between
those who are in favor of refunding and
those who are opposed. The town is
about equally divided on the question
There is talk tonight of holding mass
meeting to protest against the funding of
these bonds. Those favoring such a move
are the people who claim that the bonds
were irregularly issued, and assert that
the suit now pending would. if prosecuted,
result in invalidatiug at least one-half of
these securities. Politically the fight is
purely Democratic, and however the mat
ter ends, it will create a lasting split in
this heretofore solid!y Democratic county.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
Crop Reports From all Over the State Most
Favorable.

TOPEKA, April 1.-The Kansas Farmer
presents to its readers this week compre-
bensive report from special correspondence
in the state showing the conditions OF
things generally among farmers on the
first day of this month Summarizing
the reports the outlook is unusually
good. The acreage Of wheat is very large
and condition is very good. Winter wheat
acreage was considerably enlarged last fall
over previous years since 1886 and there has
been more spring wheat sown this spring
than ever before in any one year. The
feeling among farmers is that this will be
good wheat year in Kansas and they have
kprepared accordingly. Every county re-
port except one gives the condition good to
very good.
Oats-Acreage will be larger than in any
previous year 1t is up nicely all over the
state and doing well.
Corn-Area will be larger than ever be-
fore. Most of the corn ground was
plowed in the falland is now in good order
for spring work.
Fruit-Prospects except for peaches is
good and peach crop will be much larger
than in any of the last five years.
An unusually large quantity of feed was
saved last fall. Feed is now abundant and
stock of all kinds in good condition.
Grass started early and is growing fast.
In all the western counties sorghum,
kaffir corn, milo maize, broom corn and
experience has shown them to be well
suited to the climate and soil of that
region. The prospect is encouraging all
over the stale

FORT WORTH, Tex, April 2.-Mr. Thorn
as j. Huxley, secretary of the Brazos Riv-
Ter Channel and Dock company, returned
to Fort Worth tonight after an inspection
of the work at the mouth of the Brazos
river. He pronounces the work being done
there the greatest public improvement
in the south since the erection of the
Mississippi jetties. Five hundred men are
now at work and arrangements are
made to make the number 1000 dur
ing the present month. The jetties being
constructed are 5000 feet long with chan
mel 400 feet in width between the jetties.
The chief engineer is Corthell, who was
Captain Eads' chief engineer. and who is
now constructing the new bridge at St.

demand is greater than the supply. In

THE DIES MONIES RIveRLANps.

FORT DODGE, Ia, April 1.-The old ex-
element among the river land settlers has
been revived by the resumption of eyic-
tons. At an early hour this morning a
large number of river land settlers, fully
equipped with machinery and seed started
to plant crops on the farms from which
settlement had been evicted last fall This
action is in keeping with the threat made
At the time, TO the effect that they would
repossess themselves of all lands from
which they were then evicted.
The farm of Charles Pigman, from
which William Spainhower was evicted
twice last fall. was first visited during Mr.
Pigman's absence on business When he
returned few hours later he found all his
fields alive with men, sowing crops for the
evicted settler Spainhower. Pigman came
to this city at once and filed information
against as many OF the settlers as he knew,
and warrants will be issued for their ar
rest. The settlers announce that it is
their intention to farm lands from which
evictions were made, and the officials will
be defied IL necessary. Such action will
precipitate greater trouble than ever be-
fore known in the overland circles, and
there is much excitement in consequence.

Ill.,, for the Arthur Jordan poultry
establishment, fell from the indianapolis
and ST. Louis train which passes here at
10 o'clock noon and received injuries about

forced her way past the brakeman and
Jumped from the train before it came to
stop. Mr.. Snider and several of the
passengers had rushed to the platform to
see whether the woman was hurt or not,
and, while he was swinging out to catch a

RICHMOND, Va April 1.-The contest
between rival factions here for the Rich
mond postmastership has assumed p
singular phase. 1t is now stated that
President Harrison has rendered the office
to Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. This lady
lived ere,until a few years since, when her
daughter was married She has been liv-
ing with her father in North Carolina
during the past SIX months. Her father
has reached a very advanced age, for
which reason she declined the tender
of the postoffice at Lexington, Va,
where the body of her husband
is buried. Her friends here will, however,
endeavor to induce her to accept the Rich
mond postmastership, which is lucrative
one. Mrs. Jackson is of singularly I'M
obtrusiYe disposition and an enthusiastic
church woman. When Gen. Grant was
elected president he appointed Miss Lizzie
Van Lew, postmistress of Richmond. She
was union sympathizer during the war,
and at the same time incurred some odium
among the RichmonderS. She held the po-
sition during the two terms of President
Grant. 1t is stated that the president
thinks that by appointing Mrs Jackson be
will not have to recognize either of the con-
tending Republican factions here, and
will at the same time give the position to
lady held in high esteem by all parties,
classes and conditions of society.
