WAsHGNGTON, May 16.-TheIe is
much talk of an inten ton on the part
of Mr.. Quay to retire from the chair
manship of the republican national
committee. The committee meets here
next Monday, and there is evidence
of hard fight to dislodge the shrewd
Pennsylvania politician. Well in
formed republicans say that the fight
is on against Quay, Clarkson and
Dudley by dissatisfied minority, who
do not like their political methods,
and that the more "Mugwump' and
democratic papers say about this
combination the firmer the party will
stand by them. 1t is not thought
likely that Quay will withdraw ur-
der fire.

Narrowing Details OF the Tragedy.

Narrowing Details OF the Tragedy
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 10.-Later
advices from the scene of yesterdays
triple tragedy at Chester Mimi,
states since New Years day when
he was kicked by vicious horse,
Schaeffer frequently exhibited symp-
toms of insanity, flying into a rage
without prOvocation, at times threat
enIng the lives of his family and
neighbors. Yesterday morning he
went to the barn and on returning to
the house found his wife had not
come down stairs for breakfast.
He flew into a passion and
sent word to the mother to
come down Immediately. Running
to the wood shed, the mailman seized
a hammer and meat knife and await
ed his wife's appearance. AS the
poor woman stepped into the hall,
Schaefter, with one blow of the ham,
mer, laid her out, her brains ooZing
from a gaping wound in the skull.
AS she lay there he struck her sew
eral more blows with the hammer to
make sure of his work. Then he
turned to his daughter, who had wit
messed her mothers fate, and nearly
severed the child's head from
the trunk, casting bleeding
corpse beside that of the moth
er. The murderer then went into the
dining room and with a razor in each
hand, began hacking at his throat.
He finally succeeded in severing his
jugular vein and bled TO death. The
neighbors discovered the bodies and
gave the alarm.

When Walnut was Cheap.

From the indianapolis Journal.
WOrkmen engaged in tearing away
the rear of the old DR.. Perry residence
on West Ohio street, a day or two
ago were much surprised to find that
all of the corner posts were black
walnut. The posts are four inches
square and in perfect state of pre-
servation. The rear of the house was
built in the early settlement of this
city, and the front was added many
years later. DR.. Perry, who built the
rear part of the house, came to In
dianapolis from Virginia, and was
one of the first physicians to begin
the practice in this city. In his day
he was known as the Indian doctor, .
because his remedies consisted al
most entirely Of herbs, which he
gathered himself from the woods.
The corner posts are now so valuable,
owing to the scarcity of walnut tim
Der, that they would pay for all the
"piece" stuff for a building of the
size of that just torn away.

Texas and Manufacturers.
Frank LESLIE

A state convention of manufacturers
and business men held Mt Fort Worth,
Tex to consider methods for increasing
the prosperity of the state-for Texas is
never satisfied unless il is moving ahead
of the procesSIou-has resolved among
other things to recommend Il conStitu-
tional amendment excepting q designated
line of important manufacturing indus
tries from all tuXes, state, county or
municipal, for period of ten years. In
many parts of Texas exemption from
local taxes is already offered as an in
ducemeu; to manufacturing enterprises,
and has proved so attractive that 1t has
led TO the suggestion Of q moro general
and generous nature. During the past
few years q number of manufacturing
enterprises have moved from Eastern to
Western and Southern cities, and the re-
moval has been attributed to the tariff
TO the development of the West, and to
various other factors. 1t has escaped
observation that prosperous communities
in the West and South are constantly
seeking out Eastern manufacturers and
Offering them inducements To move while
in the East inducements of this kind are
rarely henrd Of. Lately, however, a
disposition has been manifested by
number of Eastern places to compete
for business on the Southern plan, aud in
several instances this has retained indus
tries which were apparently almost de-
cided 10 seek new fields.

POWER OF THE RAILROADS N
CALTFOPVT4


The Stanford Huntington quarrel
calls attention to the intimate and per-
nicicus connection of the railroads with
the politics of California. Through This
close relationship, the railroads largely
dominate and control the politics of that
state. Huntington charges that Senator
Stanford employs Systematically railroad
influence to control Federal legislation,
and as O powerful leverage in national
politics. 1t does not matter that Hunt
ington, who is not generally supposed to
cherish a rigid reverence for the Deca-
logue and The golden rule in his financial
operations, is not actuated by the
highest and purest motives in attacking
the personal and official character OF
Stanford. The latter's political SUI
premacy for some years in California Is
proof enough of the power which the
railroads WELD in that state. And
should he be endorsed by Huntington in
the coming contest between those rivals,
it will result only in @ change of masters,
but no change whatever in the over
mastering power of the roads. Hunt
ington will either go himself or send
some friend of his to represent the state
in the senate.
Little wonder is it that in no state In
the Union are the people more FESTIVE
and d dissatisfied with railroad rates than
In that same state of California. Indeed
1t would be strange If 1t were otherwise.
And yet the statute books are said to be
loaded down with all manner of laws
regulntive and restrictive of railroads,
but to no purpose. Whether the failure
of these laws to accomplish any practical
good Is due to inherent weakness or the
laxlty of the courts in administering
them is not known. The salient facts,
those with which the masses are mainly
concerned, seem to be that the state Is in
the power of the railroads, and that,
trying as 1t may be TO the people, they
have been unable by experimental and
empirical legislation to cast off the in
cubus

Waco Day.

The Fort Worth press. or to put it more
specifically, the Gazette aud Mail are
making superb efforts to arouse the peo-
pie of Fort Worth to q renewed and more
vigorous policy in the way of pushing
the city forward. The Gazette of yes
terday has an elaborate and telling arti-
Gle. briskling with facts and figures. Its
tenor Is that Fthe West is growing ahead
of and away from Fort WORTH The
Gazette claims, and no doubt correctly,
that Fort Worth must adopt heroic
measures TO meet the emergency. The
heroic programme contemplates more
railways Especially the Rock Island) Sc
curing manufactures, building more and
fiuer houses and in the enlargement OF
financial and commercial facilities for
handling business of all kinds.
1t ia grand programme and
q grand aspiration and Fort
Worth will belle her past record if she
fails to meet the emergency and do all
that can aud ought to be done. The Fort
Worth situation is an object lesson for
other towns that would hold their own
and keep up with business rivals.
