ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Feb. 27.-Mark A.
Barren. Chicago gambler, was shot
and dangerously wounded by Charles
Hatfield, of Henderson. KY. on an Iron
Mountain train, near Dexter, Mo-,
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock. Barren
and a companion, George Jones. also of
Chicago, had engaged in game of
poker with Hatfield and a travelling
man named Keller. 1t was ..skin''
game, and Hatfield. who looked like a
farmer. but evidently was not, caught
the idea after losing about 800, and
started for Barren with an ugly looking
revolver in his hand. He first struck
Barren with the weapon. then shot him
in the wrist and right breast, infiicting
an ugly and possibly fatal wound.
There was wild scene on the train.
Women screamed ana tainted. and men
lodged behind seats until all the
shooting was over. Without word,
Hatfield turned, when his revolver was
emptied, and coollv walked into the
next car. Barren was carried to Poplar
Bluff, and when he reached there he
was UNCONSCIOUS from loss of blood.
No effort was made to catch Hatfield.
who left the train before 1t reached
Poplar Bluff, it being evident that he
was not to blame. There was some
talk about an old grudge between the
men about woman, but Jones. who
was ''playing in with Baren," admits
that he and Barren were tleecing Hat
field and Keller with marked cards.
Yesterday Barren was taken from Pop
lar bluff to Hot Springs, Ark. IN pre-
cariOus condition. Jones passed through
st. Louis tonight en- route for Chicago.
He says he does not like Arkansas.
Barren, when in Chicago, was in the en-

YELLOW JACK ON sH1PBoARD
A British Craft Brings the Con-
tagion to New York.

New YORK, Feb. 27.-The three
masted schooner A. NJ. Brundeet, of st.
Johns, N. F., sailed for that port thirty
days ago from Barcelona, Venezuela.
She came into port to-day and is an
chOred off quarantine. 1t is said by the
health authorities that she has yellow
fever aboard. On Feb. 1, when the
schooner was three days at sea, Jacob
French, an able seaman. native Of st.
Johns, fell i'll and died after three days
sickness. On the following day Hay
ward marshal, the mate died. A
fortnight later John Parsons, the
steward, was taken i'll and died
in day. His brother, Abraham Par
sons, a seaman. became i'll at the same
time, but is still alive aboard the vessel.
Capt. FOote, who is in command of the
vessel, with the aid of seaman had to
navigate the vessel curing the last fort
night, and when the schooner was
boarded yesterday by pilot the men
were exhausted. Capt. Foote said his
crew fell ill of typhoid fever when the
schooner left Barcelona, and that the
three deaths were caused by weakness
resulting from the disease and exposure.
The quarantine authorities believe that
yellow fever attacked the men. The
vessel will be detained at quarantine
until thorough investigation Is made.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-In the SEN
ate to-day the calendar was taken up and
the bill for the erection and location of
bronze statue of Christopher Colum-
bus at the western entrance of the cap

stated that as Mr.. George desires to
speak Oh the resolution as to the elec-
ton of a president pro TEN, he would
not ask it's consideration to-day. Mr..
Blair made like statement as to the
educational bill, upon which Mr..
Spo0ner was to speak to-day. Bills on

ings as follows: Roanoke, Va, S1OO, 600:

S60,000. The senate then pro-
bill to declare unlawful trusts and COM
binatiOnS in restraint of trade and pro-
duction. Mr.. Sherman, who reported
the bill from the committee on finance,
said that he had been Instructed by the
committee to move to strike out the sec
tion which fixes penalties for entering
into trusts or combinations. Mr.. George
opposed the bill on the ground of its
inefflciency and unconstitutionality
The bill he characterized as an abortion
that would aggravate rather than di-
minish the evil. He quoted Mr.. Sher-
mans statement of last congress to the
effect that trusts could be best put down
by tariff legislation, and argued that
this bill entirely ignored that idea. A
bill framed the said) with such utterly
contradictory and irreconcilable ends
could not fail to be inefficient, and to be
a miserable sham. The senate then
went into secret session, and few mo-
ments later, at 4:5O p. m, adjourned.

ton, in the campaign which preceded
the last election. The people of Iowa
had, through the only medium known to
them for settling political issues, passed
Judgment on this question. They were
therefore bound, in honor, to furnish
for those localities desiring it, most
carefully framed license law. The great
est care should be taken, of course, to
keep the traffic out of the hands of i'm
proper parties. What Iowa needed was
practical legislation on the subject
legislation that was broad enough to
cover more than the
VIEWS OF A SINGLE CLASS.
Touching the question of ballot re-
form, Gov. Boies said If any danger
threatened the perpetuity of our gov
ernment, 1t was that, ignoring the ques-
tion OF intelligence, the franchise had
been extended beyond the limits of rea-
sonable safety. ''Men go to the polls, +"
said he, land deposit their votes In
blind obedience to party ties, and the
empty name of political organization
is too often the embodiment of their
faith, and they follow it unmindful of
constantly changing issues which de-
mand impartial consideration. No duty
is more plain than that which demands
OF the legislative department of every
| government the enactment of laws
which SHALL. to the utmost limit of util-
ity. surround the ballot box with safe
guards that will Danish from all cleo
tlons the corrupt use of money and Sc
cure to the state the unbiased judgment
of each elector. This can, as L believe,
be most effectually accomplished
through statutes which compel the de
post of a secret ballot. Such laws pnt
1t beyond the power of others to criti-
clze the electors ballot who desires to
keep it secret, and compels those dis.
| posed to use money eorruptly to RELY
upon the uncorrOborated word OF men
base enough to sell their votes."

ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 27-The state
rested in the Perrin case this afternoon,
reserving the privilege to put on the
stand one more witness, for the purpose
OF identifying the money found on the
person OF e. A. Baker. The first wit
ness this morning was w. s. Reynolds,
cashier of the Iron Exchange bank at
Hurley, who testified substantially as
before. having this time the books of
bank. He went on to show the condi-
tioH of Perrin's account at the time of
the robbery. On direct examination
the witness stated that Perrin had over
drawn his account $1,000. The witness
also SwOre that he had inserted an item
in the trial balance of $4,000 for the
purpose of raising the amount of busi-
ness both ways. He was asked if this
was customary with state banks, and
answered that he did not know. On
cross examination he stated that Perrin
told him whenever he Oyerdrew his ac-
count. Also that at the time of the
robbery Perrin had 1891 due him from
the bank. The only sensational bit of
testimony elected during the day was
furnished by George Sieight. of Iron
wood. He stated that Perrin came to
him before the trial and asked him if he
was going to Ashland as witness for
the prosecution. Witness told him he
thought he would, and Perrin wanted
to know "what in h are you going
there for" The next witness was a
bookkeeper employed by the prosecu-
ton to look over the banks book in
search of crOOkedness on the part OF
Perrin. He testified that he had found
changes in the books. but could not
swear that they were all in Perrin's
handwriting. The state then rested.
The defense was not quite ready to go
on, but the judge thought it would be
better to proceed. Counsel for the de-
tense said they woulf! prove that neither
Perrin or Baker were near the bank on
the evening of the 2Uth of September.
Several witnesses for the defense swOre
they had been with Perrin during the
hours when the robbery was committed.

weighing 100 tons. in front
of our tent was swept away,
and next day went down the cut FIVE
miles in search of bodies, and saw no
trace of it. Some lumber had been left
on the high bluff near the lower dam,
which was not reached by water. Cof-

bodies are found, the latter being buried

LA CROSSE, Feb. 27.-Suit has been
commenced in the circuit court against
Chris Clark by the Manufacturers Mu-
tual Insurance Company of Milwaukee
to recover the full amount, with inter-
est. paid on Clark's mill at Brownsville,
Houston county. Minn., destroyed by
fire about a year ago. 1t is claimed
various machines listed by Clark IN his
proof of loss had been taken out of the
mill, and are now in his new mill at
this city, which was being at that time
erected. A detective from Chicago has
been here and at Brownsville for some
days. and has obtained evidence and
dispositions which he claims will war;
rant the company in investigating the
cause of the fire. He was first put on
the case 10y man who claimed to have
planned the whole scheme, but did not
execute it, after which Clark refused to
divide with him. Clark had long and
rigorous examination before the United
States court commissioner. and A. E.
Bleekman, attorney for the insurance
companies, says he will be arrested at
once or his case presented before the
grand jury of Houston county. Clark
has been quite a sufferer from fire in the
past, but no croOkedneSS could be eS-
tablished.
Interest was added by the filing of an
attachment by Atlee Bros. of Fort
Madison, accompanied by an affidavit
that Clark is about TO dispose of the
property with intent to defraud his
creditors. Some interesting develop
ments are expected tomorrow.

RESIGNED TO HIS FATE.
Dom Pedro Thinks the Brazilian
Republic Is Solid,

hepuDi1C is SOlIus
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Dr. Morel,
editor of La Nacien, of Buenos Ayres,
has written a letter to DIR. Mendonca,
Brazilian minister to Washington, Civ
ing parts of an interview with Dom
Pedro. DR.. Mondonca returned from
this city to Washington to-day. DR..
MOrel says that he found the ex-
emperor very reluctant to talk about
the affairs of Brazil. In reply to ques-
tons Dom Pedro said that governing
great nation was heavy burthen, and
the people were repaid with ingratitude.
He felt resigned to his fate and would
look with tranquility upon the
future course of the new re-
public. Dom Pedro said that at
the present time the new republic
had all it could attend to with its own
affairs without interfering with foreign
matters. The republic, he thought, had
to be consolidated. Dom Pedro said the
Republicans had done him great injus-
tice. They would find it difficult to
govern Brazil, as was evidenced by the
sending of the military from Rio to the
northern provinces to help to organize
their respective administrations. He
would be able to govern the country,
because the BraZilians were a patriotic
people. He would continue to serve
them in Europe as he had done in Bra
Zil. even though he was suffering ban
ishment. In case of future complica-
tiOnS and call FROM the people to return
to the throne, Dom Pedro said he would
respond. He would not, however, do
anything TO cause strife among the peo-
pie. About the future of himself and
family, he had no opinion to express.
There was no reason why the members
of his family should abandon their
claims to the throne. But" lie added,
1.-THE facts are consummated, and the
facts have force for the present." Dom
Pedro said he had no intention at pres
ent of issuing manifesto. He believed
that Brazil would maintain the union
under the new order of things. '.For
u.s." he said, ''the nation-the father
land-is above all and before ALL" He
considered that the BrazilianS were pre-
pared for the change. AS to the pros
pect of a reaction i'll favor of dynasty,
Dom Pedro said the future alone would
tell.
