A Chicago Man Murders His Wife
and Cuts His Throat.
CHICAGO. Dec. 21.-Henry Christian
wife to death in the bedroom of his
home at 719 Drexel avenue and cut his
own throat some time during Saturday
night. The tragedy was seen by no
one, and the exact time it occurred is
unknown. Mr.. and Mrs. Christensen
have been living with their daughter
and SOl-in-law. They were absent until
midnight. When Mrs. Nelson went to
the room to awaken her parents
this morning her first glance did
not show anything wrong. Approach
ing the bed. she was Mortified to
were all bloody, and as he breathed
spurts of blood came from the great
cash in his throat. In moment she had
called her husband, and they attempted
to waken the mother only to learn that
she was dead. The blood on some yarn
and on razor blade showed that the
act had been committed early in the
night, as the blood was dry. Christian
sen was still alive and conscious. He
could not speak, but could understands
what was said to him. When asked if he
had killed his wife he. nodded affirma-
lively, and a horrid gurgle came from
the wound, in his throat as he at
tempted to reply. AS he acknowledged
hands how it had been done.
He also signifed that he had
cut his own throat and pointed to the
razor, as he nodded his head sending
spurts of blood out and over his shirt.
He cannot recover. 1t is difficult to find
a motive for the crime. Christensen
was somewhat mOrOSe and taciturn, but
was not usually quarrelsome. His SON.
in-law suggests that he was somewhat
jealous of his wife. She was knitting
stockings for Christmas presents, and
this did not please the husband, and he
half objected. Possibly tins enraged

to knit after he wanted her to go to bed.

choked the life out of her. She was
found in the bed, but with her clothes
on. Christensen was also on the bed
by her side, but undressed. Whethe
he cut his throat Immediately after the
first crime and spent the night slowly
dying. or whether he wept over the
corpse OF his wife until remorSe made
him decide to follow her, will probably
never be known. The razor was tied
with yarn off the ball from which Mrs.
Christensen had been knitting the OBJ
jectiOnable stockings. 1t seems more
than probable that the crime was COM
mitted while Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson were
down town, as they heard no noise
whatever after they returned, and sup
posed they were soundly sleeping.

RAPID CITY, S. D., Dec. 21.-A dis
patch from Gen. Brooke to Gen. Miles
states that 1876 chiefs and leading men of
the Pine Ridge Indians left this MORN
ing for the hostile camps to bring in the
bands still in the Bad Lands. Capt.
Ewers wires from Fort Bennett that
forty of Sitting Bulls band are now
at Cherry creek ready to come
in and that Lieut.. Hall, who left This
party in charge of Hump, will return to
bring them in. Big Foot is still defiant
at the camp on the Cheyenne, and Col.
Sumner is advancing upon him. Col.
Merriam left Fort Bennett to-day with
four companies of the Seventh infantry
to support Col. Sumner, who, 1t is
thought. will have lively struggle
with Big Foot. Twenty wagons,
filled with partisans of the chief,
left recently for the Cherry creek camp
to join his band. Two troops of Gen.
Carr's command were in camp last
night. The remaining cavalrymen are
about the Bad Lands and guarding their
northern approaches. Gen. Miles said
that the outlook was more favorable for
a peaceful settlement to-day. and that
Gen. Brooke expressed confidence in the
success of the mission of friendly In
dians. The first settler or soldier is yet
to be killed, but the Indian fighters who
keep notched sticks say that twenty
three braves, young and old. have de-
parted for the celestial buffalo ranges.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. 21.-Rev. John
Young, Presbyterian clergyman, was
found dead in bed at the Clarence hotel
this morning. The coroner's jury rem
dered verdict that death resulted from
heart disease due to excessive use Of
alcoholic stimulants. Investigation de-
veloped the fact that the clergyman
lived at McGregor, Tex, where are his
family and congregation. Two valises
were found filled with tracts, sermons,
catechism and large Oxford Bible, to-
gether with empty whisky bottles.
The clergyman was addicted
to the use of liquor, and had come West
to Indulge the the habit without dis
gracing his flock. When he reached
here eight days ago he was without a
cent i'll his pocket. He telegraphed the
First National Bank of McGregor for
500, which arrived III twenty-four
hours. Last night he left his room, and
ran out on the street in his night clothes.
He was taken back, and physicians
found him suffering with de-
lirium tremens. For several days
he was in a very bad
shape, and guests at the hotel were
kept awake half the Dight by the poor
fellow, who imagined he was in his pull
pit. and delivered sermons by the hour.
He was considered better yesterday,
and became rational, but this morning
was found dead. The body is held SUBJ
Ject to instructions from the widow.

never faltered. but ate with a zest that
puzzled even George Francis Train,
who was present at Succi's feast. Julian
Hawthorne and the poet Stephen Mas

HARRINGTON AT HOME.
He Is Greeted With Cheers, Tears
and GrOanS.

DUBLIN, Dec. 31.-Timothy Harring-
ton, NJ. p, arrived last night in Cork, in
company with the mayor of that city. A
number of Parnellites had intended to
greet him when he landed from the
Aurania in Queenstown, and had Or
ganized a torchlight procession in his
honor. They missed being present on
the steamers arrival, but nevertheless
they made demonstration, assembling
on the quay and marching through the
streets with cheers for Parnell and
groans for Healy. Finally a body of
anti-Parnellites charged upon the party
and routed them, throwing their torches
into the harbor. The shindy was a
sharp one and several were hurt. Mr..
Harrington holds that the majority of
the Irish in America are for Parnell,
although he says most of the daily
newspapers and leading politicians are
against him. He says he thinks that
Mr. Parnell will not retire, even if his
candidate is defeated at Kilkenny,
whittier Mr.. Harrington will go himself
tomorrow to assist his chief.

MoRMoNs GOING SOUTH,
And With Them Go the Good

LIMA, o., Dee. 21.-B. G. Faurot, the
we'll known banker of this city, and
who is also president of the Columbus,
Lima d Northwestern railroad, largely
interested in railway enterprise in
Mexico, returned home from New York
this afternoon, and announces the con-
summation of deal with John w.
Young, the eldest son of the late
Brigham Young, whereby the men come
in possession of 100000 acres of land
which was granted Mr.. Faurot by the
Mexican government three years ago.
Negotiations have been In progress
for some time, and were final
ly closed In New York yester-
day. The land is located in the north
ern part OF Mexico. About three years
ago, Mr.. Faurot obtained a valuable
grant from the Mexican government,
which included these lands, the stipu-
latiOn being the construction of rail
way extending from Deming, New Mex
leo, to the Cashilobompa bayou, on the
Pacific coast. The Mexican govern

people who will cOlonize on these lands.
and it is understood that they are all
Mormons who now reside in Utah.
Since the Gentiles have obtained such
a strong hold in Salt Lake City. the
MOrmOns have been looking around for
a new location. Young is an extensive
railroad contractor, and recently COM
pleted large job in Utah. As the Nor
mons already have small colony ad-
joining the land of MI. Faurot this
seems to be desirable properly, and it
would indicate that they propose utIliz-
ing their newly acquired lands in their
colonization scheme. The Mormons
hope by this move to get away from the
restrictions placed OH them by the
United States, and where they can
teach and practice polygamy without
fear Of being molested. MIR. Faurot
does not wish to state the consideration
but the amount involved is very large.

BISMARCK, N. D.. Dec. 21.-John S.
Murphy, Indian agent at Fort Berthold,
has asked for the protection of troops,
as the Berthold Indians, coached by
renegades from Standing Rock. have
become affected with the Messiah craze
and are into the ghost dance to stay.
These Indians have hitherto been the
most peaceful in the Northwest. They
are composed of remnants of the Gros
Ventres, Arickarees and Mandans. 1t
is understood they are to order the
whites to leave the reservations.
The Indians want the land for them
selves. and when in possession again
will hold it against all corners. On the
Little Missouri is located a band of
Mandans under the leadership of the
famous Crow Flies High, who have
never yielded obedience to the govern
ment. They hold aloof from all inter-
course with the whites and will not
draw subsistence from Uncle Sam.
These are creating more apprehension
among settlers than the Indians on the
Berthold reservation.

IS PARNELL BEATEN &?
The Betting in London Seems to
Indicate 1t.


Indicate 1t.
LONDON, Dec. 21.-There was very
little demonstration in Ireland to-day,
and all seemed desirous of putting on
their best behavior. The very absence
of rows is, however, considered unfa-
vorable to Parnell, as showing that the
McCarthyites are gaining sufficient hold
to be able to restore discipline. All in
dications point to Hennessy's election.
The most intense interest is felt in
London as to the result. The Lib
erals believe, from the dispatches re-
ceived to-day, of which the foregoing
is resume. that the priests have done
for Parnell, and that he stands no
chance. On the other hand. betting
men who calculate to win are willing to
back Parnell at much lower odds than a
week ago, but are not ready to bet even.
Monday will undoubtedly be an eXcit-
ing day beth in London and Kilkenny.
While the official result will not be
known until Tuesday, it is thought that
on Monday night fair idea of the re-
suit can be obtained. Che polls will be
open until S O'Clock p. m.

PINE RIDGE, S. D., via Rushville,

chased them into the Bad Lands, near
White river, opposite the mouth of
Wounded Knee creek. No soldiers
were hurt and probably no Indians.
