ADDRESSED BY HAYES.
Annual Session OF the Prison
Congress.
TWO GREAT CLASSES OF CRIMES
Those of the Rich Against the
Helpless Poor, and Woe
Versa.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Sept. 25.-The
National Prison Congress opened here
to-day. The president of the congress,
ex-President Hayes, delivered an ad-
dress. In the course of his speech he
said: 1.-THE crimes of to-day are due to
the business and social spirit of to-day.
There are two classes of crimes in all
civilized countries, and especially In
our own country, the crimes of capital,
the crimes Of sudden wealth, and
the crimes of those ayaricious
for gain, ayaricious for money,
not always merely for money, but for
power. That spirit leads to the crimes
of those who are at the top oil the wheel
of fortune, not always punished, not al
ways convicted. With this haste to get
riches comes anxiety in the community,
everywhere despair, lack OF hope, lack
of opportunity in thousands, in multi
tudes, in the masses to whom the path
to these great prizes is closed. Again
the opportunities here by speculation,
by gambling, by every description of
illegitimate effort to make great
fortunes, leaving Others without that
opportunity, is a great cause of crime in
this country. What is the remedy? If
/ have great fortune, If my business is
prosperous, Is 1t not because of men
working for low wages under me, and is
it not well for business men to pause
and think: Must l not share portion
of the profits of this prosperous business
with those who make 1t prosperousP
This Is but part of tho consideration
that may be called theory, doctrine or
idea. At the bottom Of this whole busi-
ness is reform.
II have believed for some years that
we were passing on toward Niagara on
this question. 1t Is quite certain that
running backward along the line of his
tory we see every where that the situa-
tion and condition as to welfare in all
respects of the men VINO do the work
| labor OF the country is the test, is the
mark, of true civilization. Laboring
men were, perhaps, never before any
where upon the face of the globe more
prosperous than here to-day. Let US
see TO it that we continue that condi-
ton; that whatever may be done
by social custom, whatever may
be done by business shall be
done to give every man what Lincoln
desired and promised that every man
should have in this country-a fair start
and equal chances in the race Of life
Applause.l With that condition,
crime will diminish"
system of making jails and lockups
academies OF crime by placing in them
young offenders, subject to the In
tiuencs of professional criminals. He
spoke strongly in favor of severe treat
ment OF the incurable criminal class.

KILLED BY AN INDIAN.
Tragic Fate OF a Young Man
From Post Falls.
A STRANGE BUT TRUE STORY
The Victim Game From Ida Grove,
Iowa, and Owned Property
at Post Falls.

Posr FALLS, Idaho, sept. 4.-Mr.
SCOTT has returned from trip to Horse
Plains, Mont, whore ho has been TO
identify tho clothing of man who
was murdered by Indians last fall near
Fiathead lake. Mr.. Scott identified
the clothing, which belonged to one J.
M. Dunn, of Ida Grove, Iowa, who
came to this place last spring year
ago. lie purchased couple Of lots OF
Mr.. Post, then took trip up into the
mines. Returning, he purchased horse
and saddle, and telling Mr.. Scott to
keep his trunk until he returned, he
said he was going to Horse Plains, and
from there to Flathead lake to take a
look at the country. lie was supposed
to have considerable money, but no one
knew how much, or whether he had 10
on his person or not
Nothing more was heard of Mr.. Dunn
until this spring. The postmaster at
Post Falls received u letter from hotel
keeper at Horse Plains. stating there
had been a man found dead down on
Flathead lake, who was supposed to
have been killed by Indians. There was
nothing left of the body but the skele-
ton and clothing. Some time ago
| Sheriff Grant, of Horse Plains, arrested
an India by the name Of Pascale, Pho
| tells the following story:
A man stayed at Dayton creek one
night with Frenchman by the name
| of Savio. The man started ncxt morn
ing TO go to Dennersville, a distance Of
| thirty miles. The Indian Pascale went
to the Chief Euious aud borrowed his
gun to go hunting, saddled up his pony
| and started on after Mr.. Dunn, over
| tnnlr hf In, nhntt two Inil,as and a half n
| the road, rode in company with him
for five or six miles then dropped lit
| tie behind him and shot him.
Dunn exclaimed, you rascall you
have shot me" fell from his horse and
died instantly.
PascaIe then caught his horse, and
then went back and took his revolver
and watch and q buckskin purse with
some gold and silver out Of his pockets,
then dragged the body in the brush
about thirty feet from the road and left
IL there. He then went up into tho
Kootenai country and toln the Indians
he had killed man at Angel Hill, and
had marked the place by cutting some
little trees. In about three months a
party of Kootenaf Indians visited tho
spot. The wild animals had torn the
clothes from the body and ex-
posed a leather belt which contained
81, 200 or 81, 500 in bank bills. There
pocket contained 81, 900 or 81, 200 in 500
bills These were all stuck together
with blood, which had dried ON them.
For fear OF detection they burned them.
The balance of the money was squan-
dered.
Mr.. Scott wrote out description of
the clothing and then went fifteen
miles, and every thing corresponded with
the description.
Mr., Dunn was a very nice appearing
gentleman, and made many warm
friends during his short stay at Post
Falls. He leaves a wife and four chill
loss.

gated fully, and It was ascertainod that
no such family ever lived at Linton.
The facts further show that the child
was in the custody OF Mrs. Hnrbin, also,
that she had no record showing the dis
position of the child, claiming to have
lost the contract she made. with Kline.
1t was also claimed that the mother of
the child had deserted 1t. and under the
direction of the county court of Multi.

The records of the court failed to dis
close that the court had ever made such

THE FIGHT AT AN END
Two Magnificent Games at
Seattle.
The PLAYERS TO Be RESERVED
Manager Barnes Wants to Play
the Winner of the Califor-
mia Pennant

SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 2o.--To-day's 8
baseball game decided the pennant race
in favor of the Spokane team, who won
a hotly contested game of ten innings
from the Seattle club by score of to g..
Manager Barnes is now anxious to play
the pennant winners against the team
that wins the championship of the Cali.
fornia league series of games, either
here or in California.
Six of the hardest fought games of ball
ever played in one series on the home
grounds are those just finished, and
the one to-day was the most
sensational of all. Tho Seattle
team was pulling for second
place, while the Spokanes wanted the
game badly, as it would give them the
pennant. Borchers, who pitched the
day before, was put in again, with the
understanding that he was to have
SIS and a silk hat, if he pitched winning
ball.
Somers, the new "south paw" pitcher,
went in for the locals, and, while his
wildness in the second inning gave tive
runs, he steadied down, and handled
the sphere superbly in the last seven
innings, during which but three hits
were made off his delivery.
From the startoff there was red-ho,
ball. The visitors in the first inning
doubled up Hernon and Broughton and
Katz went out on long fly, which
Turner pulled down. Then Polhemus
came up and raised the ball over the
left field fence.
The Seattles could not hit Borchers al
oil for the first four innings, but in the
18th he was found for double and q
single, which, with one base given on
balls, notted three runs. The visitors
got in three runs in the eighth, making
the score to 3 in their favor. In the
ninth tine home team tied the score bS
hard hitting and Somers struck the side
out in order. In the tenth the Seattles
We're retired by sharp work without g

A LOSS OF S65O,OOO.
One of Chicago's Big Pack
ing-Houses Burned.
OVER TWENTY ENGINES AT WORK
II Was One of the Worst Fires in
That City in Recent
Years.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-The Anglo Ameri-
can Packing Company's establishment
at the stock yards was damaged by Ire
early this morning to the extent of $3.50, =
900. The fire was one of the worst the
department has ever had to deal with.
The alarm was turned in just before 2
o'clock, when flames were seen in the
packing-room. When the first engines
| arrived this room was Il mass of flames.
Water had little effect on the grease
| soaked floors, and the fire soon reached
the roof where thirty-two tanks of lard
were located. These exploded one after
another and the melted lard added fresh
fuel to the flames.
The heat was so intense that the fire
men were forced back and compelled to
work from distance. The flames then
spread to the cooling-room, where the
carcasses of nearly 1000 hogs were stored.
They burned like oil. Water seemed
useless, and the twenty engine compa-
nies at work made but little headSay.
More engines were summoned, but two
hours after the fire started the roof fell
in, and the flames seemed to spread
moro rapidly than ever. A hundred
streams of water were being poured on
the fire, but they appeared to have o eff
feet. About this time the flames reach ed
a lot of saltpetre, and the fumes from
this stified the hremen, overcoming sev-
eral of them.
The tire marshals directed all the
efforts of their men to preventing the
spread of the flames from the Anglo
American plant Within q short dis
tance of the establishment are several
other large packing-houses. and for a
time 1t was feared that the flames would
communicate to them. The firemen
succeeded, however, in controlling 1t.
At 8 O'Clock this morning it was seen
to be impossible to extinguish the burn
ing pork, and water was thrown on 1t to
keep the fire down as much as possible.
1t will have 10 burn out, and IL will
probably be day or two before it is en-
tirely extinguished.
The fire department succeeded In say
ing the other portions of the Anglo
American plant from serious damage.
The loss is entirely covered by insur-
ance. The company that had been con-
ducting the business il composed OF
Englshmen. Recently, however, a new
company was formed, known as Fowler
Bros. (LimitedI incorporated IN England d
with capitalization of f75. 900. with the
purpose of acquiring the business oi

On last Friday evening the WV. G. T..

tainment to a good. sized audience in the
Presbyterian Church. The exercises con.
sisted in songs, recitations, select read.
ings and music. The meeting was pre-
sided over in very unassuming way by
Mrs. James Murray, who also read q
paper which contained food for thought
both for the audience and the Y's. At
the roll.call of the members each one
present answered with some appropriate
response. To give singly the parts spo.
ken, read or recited by members would
be tedious, but that those young ladies
who did take part acquitted themselves
cridibly, was fully attested by the
marked attention given them by the au-
dience present. The beaming, beautiful
faces and the hearty manner in which
the owners OF those faces sang was salts.
faction enough to those who were privi-
lodged to hear and see all that was done.
May the influence OF the Y's ever in
crease.
