THE sTREETER INCEST CASE.
A recent issue of the Carson Ap-


peal says:
"rhere is now sojourniug in the
State Prison a man named Streeter
who was sentenced to imprisonment
for twenty years for the crime Of in
cesG. He came from Elko county,
and at the time of the trial the feel
ing in the county was very bitter
against him. Since the trial facts
have come to light which tend to
prove his innocence, and an effort is
being made to secure his pardon"
Streeter was sentenced to the State
Prison for ten years, which is the
highest penalty provided by the
Statutes of Nevada for the crime of
incest; but had the law permitted a
twenty years sentence the old man
doubtless would have got the full ex-
tent, SO conclusive was the evidence
Of hisguilt.
"He states that when he was first
charged with the crime, the man who
was paying attention to his daughter
came and offered for $1,000 to swear
that the prospective child was his.
lie declined to pay any money as he
felt that he was innocent" says the
Appeal.
The word Of man who would de-
bauch his own daughter is entitled to
but little credence; hence what she"
says will carry little weight with the
people Of Elko county. AS to his
feeling that he was innocent, it would
perhaps be nearer the truth to say
that as he had run his daughter, the
mother of the child, out of the coun-
try as soon as she was able to travel
after the birth of her child, he felt
that no evidence could be produced
to convict him; and the fact that he
was SO anxious to be released on bail
as soon as he learned that the Sheriff
had brought the daughter from Iowa
to testify against him, could scarcely
be considered evidence Of his inno-
cence.
"He was so certain of his ability to
prove his innocence that he refused
TO retain a lawyer" continues the
Appeal. Now this seems a little
severe on j. w. Dorsey, who vigorous
~ defended the old man from the
time he was arrested until sentence
was pronounced against him, and
who is considered one OF the best
lawyers in the State, neither ia it
complimentary to J. L. Wines, who
received fat fee to aid in the de-
tense; as the Appeal seems to infer
that neither of these gentlemen are
lawyers.
AS to the statement that "facts
have come to light which tend to
prove his innocence" we are at loss
to know who are in possession of any
such facts, or how they have come to
light; and we are of the opinion that
apetition for Streeter's pardon would
moot with but little favor in Elko
county.

MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD.
Fiddler Smiths Assault on George
Hastings May Result in a
Double Tragedy.

1t seems highly probable that the horrible
crime committed by Fiddler Smith at Her
mAnn's hat factory at Newark yesterday,
will result in a double tragedy.
George Hastings, one of his victims. Is
already dead, and the other, Frederick But
lef. was in n critical condition this morning
and suffering terribly from an ugly stab
wound near the heart.
Hastings and Butler. in company with q
score of other woTkmeu we've employed
about the kettles IN the plank room, amid a
dense cloud OF steam. when Smith suddenly
appeared 10y HastingS's side.
You have called me fool. and | want
yon to prove II, cried the new conner.
Go away and leave me alone" replied
Hastings. resuming his work.
Smith would not be put of, and further
accused Hastings of causing him TO be I'M
prIsoned for assaulting Frank ChawAtski,
eighteen months ago. Hastings again told
Fiddler to 90 away and not bother hun. when
the latter drew a big. keen -bladsd shoe
knife and plunged II into Hastingss Abdo-
men, clean M To the hilt
- Help! He's got knife" cried Hastings.
Butler rushed To his assistance, when Smith
turned upon him, aud eXclaiming I'm give
side. near the heart. breaking off the knife
in the wound against one OF his ribs.
Hastings died at the CITY Hospital inn
med ately alter identifying his assallAut,
who In row in iail.
Both Hastings and Butler were sixty years
old. Smith Is fitty-f0ur and has bad record.
Smith was arraigned before Justice Hod-
Tigo this morning and remanded without
bail to wait the action OF the Grand Jury.

from further prosecution on this charge.
They were indicted. " said Col. Fellows
this morning to an EVENING WORLD re-
porter, under the only section of the
Penal Code which could make the ofiense n
felony, and now that thc.e indictments
have been dismissed il ends the whole mat
ter.
They might bo indicted for misdemeanor

SAVED FROM VANDALISM.
Liberty Isl1nd Will Not Be Taken
for an Immigrant Site.
Ellis Island May Get II, Thanks to
1.-THE World"
Liberty Island il safe.

Liberty Island IL safe.
Thanks to the strong fight made by THE
WORLD, which voiced the sentiments Of
Thousands. not only residents of this
CITY, but from every State in the
Union where Americans are located,
and who felt that this proposed desc
Grafton of the little island in the bay,
which IL honored by Frances beautiful gift,
was an insult to that Republic, as well az the
ursupation Of the rights OF citizens to enjoy
a convenient and beautiful breathing spot.
The Joint Committee on immigration
went into session yesterday and the result
was awaited with breathless interest by
thous ands, who knew that the fate OF
Liberty island was then to be decided
When at last the decision was made pul II
that Ellis Island shall be taken by the. Coy.
eminent for an immigrant station and LIB
there was rejoicing on every siu aud praise
for The WORLD was not Stinted.
At the meeting Senator Voorhees, made 10
bones of the fact tina: he, was oppos ed to the
selection Of Ellis Island AZ an immigrant
site, but at the same time he was equally op-
posed to, the selection OF Liberty Island.
From his remarks, it was plain to be seen
able for the purpose as Secretary Window
had decltrid The tonmittee's insptc c ion
had settled that little iact.
Senator hcPherson declared that his
tion from the Naval Committee. which was
thought to be gross breach of official conr-
tesy, was solely for the purpose of expediting
matters. and his object was two-fold-to
have the magazine removed from Ellis
Island. where IL was menace to the sur
rounding cities, and to insure Liberty Island
against selection a. a site.
Senator Hale then said that as the Com
mittee undoubtedly favored Ellis Island.
thev would hurry matters considerably by
adopting suitable resolutions to that effect,
whereupon Chairman Owen offered the fol-
lowing:
R,soIped, That the Committee approves 1.-THE
selection OF Ellis Island as an immigrant station"
The resolution was adopted by an over
whelming majority, but two negative voter
being polled, whereupon the Committee ad-
iourned, after passing another resolution
that the Chairman of the House Committee
be directed to endeavor to secure the pas
jage of the Senate joint resolution as it
passed the Senate.
The Naval Committee then received the
resolutions. and that pertaining to Ella
Island was about to be acted upon when
Gen. Spinola objected on the ground that
a rev magazine had not vet been selected.
Representative Covert also objected, AZ he
favored Castle Garden as a site.
These objections, IL IL believed. will be
speedily overcome, and the resolution will
be undoubtedly passed within few days.

Varied Reception of His Veto OF
Saxton Ballot Reform.
Gov. Hills third successive veto of the
saxton Ballot-Reform bill was received in
this city with varying expressions OF
opinion by the politicians OF different
leanings.
Tammanyites accorded the Executives

we're apologize in their comments, while
ReDubl cans were EeN ere III their censure.
- The veto is a very able document, " do
clared Mayor Grant.
The Governor was certainly consistent, "
was Comptroller Myers's simple comment.
I'VE eau only applaud the veto, said
Deputy COMMISSIONER of Street-CIeaning
and Tammany Leader Edward Z. Haaan.
- Ii is in the interest of pure democracy. ="
II presume the Governor acted with a
sincere CONVICTION OF right, was Ex-Sena-
tor James Days comment. II must say,
however. that had | been in his place |
would have acted differently.

take nothing rebounds to his credit more
than the acknowledgment OF his error and

Geo. W. Plunkitt.
The Republicans who were interviewed
pooh poohed the constitutional objections
to the bill cited by the Governor. declaring
that the Legislature had the absolute right
to qualify and restrict franchise rights.
If his objection to the clause providing for
election officers being of different political
parties is tenable, they said that the validity
of ali Q .ections held in this state IN in ques-
ton. for most OF the inspectors of election
are chosen in that way.

DIED ON A BRIDGE CAR.
Mrs. Rensinger's Body Left in the
Passenger Depot.

A very sad death occurred at the Brooklyn
end of the Brooklyn Bridge this morning
about 81. 80 o'clock. The excitement at IT, G
time was intense, and the crowds that
bl"cked the entrances were very large.
1t was just at the busy time of the day.
when the ladies from Brooklyn are on their

most prostrated. and her friends vainly
Many Of the ladies present were deeply
affected by tie scene. All were anxious TO
assist Miss Rensinger. but the poor girl
hardly knew what to do herself. She was
taken to the Bridge Office, where she sat
weep'nG and refusing to be comforted.
Coroner Rooney was telephoned for. but
was not in the office. and n messenger WaH
sent ont to find him.
Miss Louise Rensinger who was present
wien her mother expired, SAID that the long
climb up the stairs, leading from Prospect
street to the brldge. had completely ex-
hausted hCr mother, who is large woman
aud was suffering from heart trouble. which
was undoubtedly the cause of her death.
Mrs. Rensinge WAS a widow, ti4ty years
OF age, ana weighed about one hundred and
eighty pounds. She has another daughter
