CHICAGO, July 3-Jack Ashton was
to have met Frank Glover at Battery d
tonight in a hard glove contest, and 1000
people assembled to witness the encounter.
The police prevented the men from APP
pearing, however. owing to the fact that
Brennan Of Boston was so seriously in
iured that he will probably die. Brennan
was contesting with Frank Gerard of
Chicago nominally for points, but it is as
serted that the sports present knew the
fight was to be for blood. Brennan is
the man who recently worsted Tommy
White of Chicago in a long drawn out
battle. The match between Brennan and
Gerrard was fierce, but after the second
round Brennan had decidedly the worst
of it. In the third and fourth he
was repeatedly knocked down, and in the
fifth, after arising two or three times,
both men being very gro0Ry. Gerard
pushed against him and both men went to
the floor, Brennan underneath. His
head struck the hard boards with a re-
sounding crack, and when Gerard arose
Brennan was found to be unconscious.
Physicians were summoned, but up to a
late hour tonight consciousness had not
returned. and the doctors think ne will
die, having undoubtedly suffered a con-
fusion of the brain.
Gerard. the referee, Gallagher. and
the seconds, McInerv and Carroll, have
been arrested.

New YORK, July 3.-More than fifty
persons living within a few blosks of
Third avenue and Seventy fifth street were
seriously poisoned last evening by eating
ice cream, which had been purchased of
ID. Brinkmau, a confechoner. The lives
of several were saved only by the greatest
exertions of the physicians. The symp-
toms in each case were of metallic
poisoning, and the trouble was at once
traced to the ice cream. The patients
were seized with violent pains and vomit-
ing. In the worst cases utter prostration
followed with insensiblity. and the
patients body became almost pulseless.
An investigation OF the affair led to the
arrest OF Henry Meper, a young man in
Brinkman's employ. Only one of the
four kinds Of ice cream which were sold
on Monday were poisoned. The straw
berry, chocolate, and lemon creams were
all right, but everybody who ate vanilla
was poisoned. The vanilla cream was
made by Meyer, and thirty quarts had
been sold before its character was dis
covered. Meyer is reported to have said
to Mrs. Brinkman that he could ruin her
business by putting verdigris, as copper
rust is commonly called, into the ice cream.
He denies this, although he knew that he
was TO be discharged after the Fourth.
Meyer thinks the poisoning may have
been caused by copper scraped from the
knifes in the freezer. He is held pending
a further Investigation,

Triple Tragedy at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. July 3.-John Chapman, a
crazy young man, while suffering from
the hot weather and pangs of ~uurequited
love, shot his sweetheart and a man who
tried u save her, and then put a bullet
through his own heart tonight. Chap
man is a carpenter, 50 years of age, and
has been boarding with Mrs. Joanna
Elsner, a prepossessing widow who con-
ducts a boarding house at $40 and 8l2
North Eighth street. During the past
week Chapman proposed to Mrs. Elsner
and was rejected on account of his dissi-
pat1d habits. The rejection p%recipI-
tated a spree during which he
remained away from the house. To-
night he called on Mrs. Elsner in
an apparently sober condition. She in
vitcd him into the parlor, and his first
question was: What is my bill2 l
want to pay it," The unfortunate woman
named the sum and Chapman reached in
his poske: but instead of a purse he
pulled out a pistol and began firing at
Mrs. E'sner. She screamed and ran out
to the street closely pursued by Chapman.
He fired three times and missed. The
fourth shot struck her in the back as she
was escaping through a confectionery
store. Michael Milgrim, the proprietor
of the store. struck Chapman and got in
front of the Chapman fired
again and shot Milgrim through the
body. After gazing at the bodies of the
two victims the murderer put the muzzle
of the Weapon to his heart. pulled the
trigger and fell dead. Mr.. Elsuer and
Milgrim are still living but their wounds
are believed to be mortal .

WASHINGTON. July 3.-The president
approved the joint resolution extending
the unexpended balance for letter carriers
for extra compensation under the eight
hour law to June 80, 1891.
Another unavailing conference over the
silver bill was held this morning. One
of the members says the time was spent
in a general discussion of the financial
situation; that no proposition was pre-
sented and pushed with any particular
force. An adjournment was taken at
noon until Saturday morning. One of
the questions upon which the conferees
divided is said to be whether only certif
Gates to be issued in accordance with the
bill shall be made legal tender, or all GER
tihcates outstanding previous to the APP
proval OF the bill as we'll Walker, one
Of the house conferees, is credited with
having suggested that the bill require
customs duties to be paid in gold alone.
but that was ruled out on the ground that
its consideration would open a discussion
upon matter not properly included within
the scope of the bills before the confer
euce Bland. of the house conferees, is
quoted as saying the only serious differ
ence between the house and senate con
ferees relates to tho bullion redemption

fairs ordered a favorable report upon the

DELAYED AGAIN.
Lack of a Quorum in the House
Of Representatives
Delays Concurrence in Amend
ments to the Wyoming Bill.
A Big Scandal Unearthed in
the Land Office.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The senate
amendment to the Wyoming admission
bill would have been concurred In today
by the house had a quorum been present.
The point of no quorum was made, and
Cannon of Illinois appealed to the house
to permit the adoption of the conference
report on the District of Columbia appro-
p~riation bill and concurrence in the
amendment to the Wyoming bill without
the point of no quorum being made. say
ing he would move to adjourn immeGi-
ately thereafter. NThe house, however,
adjourned without action. The Wyo-
ming bill was enrolled ready for sigma
ture. 1t is believed that had the house
adopted the amendment today the presi-
dent would have signed the Wyoming act
before leaving the city. Delegate Carey
said this evening thai the amend
ment concerning Yellowstone park
had already delayed the admis-
sion OF Wyoming several days,
but the park was the wonderland of the
world and would be worth many worlds
fairs to the state in the next century, and
under the circumstances the people of
Wyoming would patiently wait a few days
more.
The feason tor the presidents action in
signing the Idaho bill today was an inter
esting one. The president, it seems,
found that the law ordained that n new
star should be placed on the American
flag for each new state on the Fourth of
July succeeding its admission to the
Union. The president left it to Dubois.
delegate from Idaho. to decide whether
to have the bill signed at once and get the
star or leave the star over until July 4,
1891. Dubois chose the star now and as
the result the bill was signed and forty
three stars are due upon the flag tomor-
row.

striking ~cloakmakers gathered on Broad
way, between Leonard and White streets,
this morning when the hands in Meyer &
Jonas sens and the Mercantile Cloak com
pany's large shops were going to work.
The strik ers surrounded and threatened

and Broadway, for two blocks, was a
scene of confusion. There were many
broken heads. The working cloakmakers

this very caustic criticism, Hawley asked
Vest whether he knew who wrote that,
whether it was quite fair and decorous to
have printed such a mess of irresponsible
b~lackguardism.
Vest replied: The gentleman's name
was given in the communication.
Hawley-I reaffirm what L said, that
the man who speaks as he does OF honor
able gentlemen, and who says Of American
colleges that DEGREES can be obtained for
$50, says wIllfully hat which is false.
Vest-He Is secretary of a society IN
Buenes Ayres and accompanied the dele
cation from the Argentine republic to this
pan-Amercan conference.
Hawley-And you may add TO that
description that he is a liar and a black
guard.
Vest said: The article is a criticism of
a public assembly, snd l had it read to
show the impression made upon a promi
nent man who attended that conference
In respect to the personnel OF the confer
ence and its object. 1t was In order to
show that no winning and dining, no pub
lie exhibition, nothing but self interest
would effect our commercial relations with
the people of South America. | have
had that article read as a communication
published all cver the country aud in
South America to show that the men who
came here from South America are among
the keenest, shrewdest and most
far seeing merchants of the
world, and that when we, by
any international American conference or
by any other spontaneous means seek to
draw them away from self interest, we
are simply fooling ourselves and throwing
away the money of the public.
Vest went on to say that if the subsidy
system was established, 1t should be
made equal. The cattle ~raisers should be
subsidized. If he wanted to emasculatc
and enervate the people he would teach
them to depend on the government.
Wilson OF Maryland addressed the SEN
ate in opposition to the bills, which went
over.
The conference report on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill was presented aud
