SALT LAKE CRY, Feb. IA few davs
before Christmas the Utah commission's
office was entered by burglars and an un
successful attempt made TO steal tho books
and papers, The Utah commission IS the
body having charge OF all election matters
in this territory, and keeps all the records
pertaining 70 elections It was generally
supposed that the Mormons were at the
bottom OF the attempted burglary, for they
were desirous about that time Of procuring
the registration books IL possible. Friday
the Mormons began their contest in the
Third district court TO compel the Utah
commission 70 issue TO their candidates for
the city council from the Third and Fourth
precincts Of this city certificates Of election.
They have the majority Of votes in this pre-
cinct and il the court decides that precinct
votes count Tor councilman instead Of the
general vote OF the city, the Mormons would
have six out OF fifteen councilmen The
case was set for today Tor a hearing, but
the opinion prevails that the old law IS still
in force and that the precinct vote will not
count Friday night another attempt was
made to steal the records, but as the i'm.
portant papers are all in the safe deposit
vault Of the Union National bank, nothing
Of consequence was obtained The burg
lars, however, stole the gold watch Of Gen.
McClernand and Sl20.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Feb IL "A Farm
ers' alliance OF three adjoining counties was
organized and an entertainment given last
night IN the little town OF Lexington Some
OF the tonghs OF the surrounding country
attended with the intention Of breaking up
the alliance, and they interrupted the
speakers by letting windows down with q

ceedings. Sheridan Stoner aud Others Of
the crowd went outside, but returned,
Stoner having put pistol in his oyercoat
pocket. The gang stood around Stoner
with pistols IN their hands, and taunted
Bolles, who finally broke a bench leg OIL
and struck Stoner, who retreated shooting.
A wild panic ensned, ladies tainted and
several attempted TO jump out Of the win.

shot through the heart, while Frank Wells
Of Saluda, was shot through the elbow.
Mrs Bolles went into convulsions, and dur.
ing the confusion Stoner escaped, after
knocking down George Shea, prominent
teacher, who intorfered.
The strangest thing is that he passed
through Nabb ia the morning and to q crowd
OF forty related the affair, yet he was al.
lowed TO go on unmolested. He Is still al
large but a sheriff's posse is after him. Mrs.

ThE WEEK IN CONGRESS.



WAsnINGg y. Feb. .l7.--The Blair educa-
tional bill ~ Il absorb the senateis atten-
tion during Tho latter part OF the week,
and its consideration may extend into the
week following. Meantime the calendar
viii be discussed during the morning hour
and at odd intervals In the early part Of
the week some time will be devoted to the
consideration of executive business and the
British extradition treaty and possibly the
Russian treaty will likely be disposed Of
The committee on finance will take up all
matters relating to silver coinage on Tues
day and possibly dispose OF them. The
committee ON privileges and elections will
give some attention to the Montana cleo
ton case during the week, but it viii ba
some time before a decision is reached.
There is every reason to believe that the
controversy over the selection OF a site for
the Worlds fair will be settled so far as the
house is concerned before another week has
passed. Everything favors an early dispo
sitinn Of the matter.
The elections committee have agreed not
to attempt to call up the Atkinson Pendle-
ton cnse until the week following and the
way Is clear for the fair bill Monday is,
under the new rules, suspension day in the
house. when bills may be called up by com
ullttttS anu phhsfu unueF suspension OF
the rules. Most of the committees have not
made preparation for bringing bills before
the house in this way, but it is safe to say
that the entire day will be taken up ia dis
cussion and passing those bills that are re-
ported. Some debate will ensue on tho
resolutions of Mr. Gambler and Mr.. Hit
providing for discussion and voting on the
two Worlds fair bills Mr. Gamblers reso-
luton sets apart Tuesday and Wednesday
for discussion and Thursday for voting,
while Mr.. Hit provides only for one day Of
discussion lTuesdayl with voting on the
next day A majority Of members seem to
be in favor Of having at least two days dis
cussion, and for this reason Mr.. Gamblers
proposition has the better chance Of being
agreed to.
There is possibility Of deadlock on the
question at issue, and in the event Of this il
cannot be said with accuracy how the rest
of the week may be consumed. Friday is
private bill day and naturally will probably
be devoted, as Saturday was, to the eulogies
on deceased members. The appropriation
committee expects to have the pension ap-
preparation bill ready to report to the house
ON Tuesday

The nrodus vivendi.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Secretary Blaine
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British min
lister, conferred on the subject Of the expira-
tion Of the modns vivendi permitting Amer
ican fishermen to enter Canadian waters. Il

haste to renew the agreement. BY the time
the fishing season begins in May it is be-
lievea that a satisfactory settlement Of the
controversy win have been concluded. The
secretary insists that rigorous measures shall
be taken TO prevent repetition Of the out
RACES perpetrated by Canadian vessels upon
American fishermen. Until such a stipula-
tion is secured from the English government
there is no likelihood Of a resumption Of the

A DIAMOND sMUGGLERs REVENGE

A New York Tragedy in which Jewels,
Treachery, Love, Despair, Retributlon
and Revolver Played Prominent
Part--Two Dead, One Dying.
NEW YoRK, Feb. 17.-Isaac Jacob, aged
IS, shot and killed Herman Royozinsky, Of
"a Ridge street, about o'clock Sunday
morning, t+en shot and perhaps fatally
wounded Royozinsky's wife, and finally shot
himself dead. The tragedy was the result
Of an old quarrel between the men. IL is
said that Jacob once smuggled $1,000 worth
Of diamonds into this country, and, becom-
ing frightened, placed them in Royozinsky's
hands for safe keeping until it should be safe
to dispose Of them; but when he asked Royo-
zinsky for them the latter refused 20 account
for them.
A Disappointed Lover, Too.
1t is also said that Jacob, who was a mar
ried man, made love to Royozinsky's niece
until he was forbidden to visit the family
any more. Despite these events, however,
Jacob and Royozinsky met occasionally and
had business transactions. Early Sunday
morning Jacob called at Royozinsky's rooms
in the tenement 81 Ridge street and awoke
Royozinsky, telling him to come out to the
stable, as some one was trying to steal the
horse which Royozinsky used in his business
as an expressman. RoyozinsSy accompanied
Jacob to the stable, which is in the rear of
No. AZ Ridge street
He Shot Husband and Wife.
When the men reached the stable yard
Jacob drew a revolver and shot Royozinsky
through the heart. He then went back to
No. 81 and shot Mrs. Royozinslzy, who was
just coming out Of the house, having became
anxious because her husband had gone with
Jacob, whom she distrusted. The bullet
penetrated her neck and lodged in her back
She ran down the street screaming, and did
not fall until shereached the Delaney street
police station. Meanwhile her son, Otto,
aged Is, had sprung out and pursued Jacob,
who fed until be reached Broome street,
when he turned and aimed the revolver at
Otto.
The Murderer's Last Shot.
The boy lodged behind wagon, and
Jacob seeing two policemen running up to
arrest him, placed the revolver to his own
head, fired and fell dead in the gutter.
Everybody Played Him False.
On his person was found long, rambling
statement to the effect that RoyozinslSy and
everybody else with whom he had had any
thing to do since he came to this country
had cheated and robbed him; that the
lawyers he had engaged to look after his in,
terests had played into the hands OF his
enemies; that his own wife had robbed him
sold him ont and thrown him into the
street; that he was sick, destitute and des.
perate, and had finally decided to take the
law into his own hands.
Atthe hospital it isnot yet known whether
Mrs. Royozinsky can recover or not. Her
wound is very serious, and she will probably
die
