A Boy Shoots bis Head Of.

PAYsoN. Utah, Oct. 22.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. "A horrible fatality
occurred here about noon to-day. johnny
Boulton, a bright lad of about fifteen
and sen of Mr.. John Boulton, CT Payson,
gardner started this morning for his
sisters home, some three miles east of
town, on horseback, carrying some vegeta-
bles with him. He also carried an old
shot gun in the hopes of seeing a stray
rabbit or Frairie chicken. Some threshers
in the Salem field heard shot about
noon, just above the field, but thought
nothing of it at the time. Nearly an hour
later Mr.. Joseph Hush, with his sons,
came along the road and found the old
horse standing in the road with the boy
still in the saddle, his brains and the whole
side of mis- face, blown off, lying under the
horse.
1t seems that the boy was in the habit of
loading his gun while on the horse, and as
the ramrod was still in one barrel it is
thought that his foot touched the trigger
discharging the other barrel.
The dead body was brorght to town about
3 o'clock. An inquest viii be held.
The father aud stepmother. Mrs, Courts
are almost Frustrated with grief and the
town is all excitement over the fearful
tragedy.

New Bonds for Pension Accents.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The new pension
agent at Pittsburg will probably be ap-
pointed by the President to-day or to-mor-
row.
The appropriation act for the payment of
invalid and other pensions for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1891, provided among
other things that 'pension agent may
designate and authorize his clerk to sign
the name of the pension agent official to
checks, and that the official bond given by
the principal of the office shall be held to
cover and apply to the case of the person
appointed to act in his place in such case
and a new bond shall be required from all
pension agents now in Office"
The question as to whether this act was
intended to apply to all agents or only such
as see tit to avail themselves of the provi-
sions of this act, was referred to the assis-
tant attorney general of the interior de-
partment, who held the sopinion that the
provision referred to was mandatory and
all pension agents now in Office are by it
required to give bonds. Pension Agent
Barclay, at Pittsburg, modified the depart

Institute of American Architects.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The annual con-
vention of the Institute of American
Architects began to-day. The attendance
is very encouraging, representing all parts
of the union. Many interesting and valu-
able reports will be presented and papers
read before the convention during the three
days session, out the discussion held to
day was chiefly devoted to preliminary
matters.
K. M. Hunt, president of the institute,
was unable to be present on account of
illness and his report was read by one of
the directors. In il, referring to govern
ment building work as conducted by the
architects Office of the treasury, he said
while the work was generally well done,
1--WE must hold it preposterous to assume
that any one person can do
justice to the present requirements of
the office. The present management
is by no means an economic one, end it is
natural to attribute the perpetuation of it
to political iobbery, or indifference to-
wards matters of art. Were national
buildings in charge of well selected men
and the duties of the supervising architect
restricted to general supervision of them
it is but reasonable to assume the govern
ment would be better and more eco
nomically seryed.n

DENVER, Oct. o. Special telegram to
THE HERALD. Quite a novel document
was filed to-day with the county clerk by
couple who began sometime ago proceed
ings for divorce, the slow work of the
courts having discouraged them. The
parties are Cecil a. Deane and wife who
are possessed of some property, children
and other encumbrances, who seek separate
paths in life The document recites that
divers differences having arisen between
them rendering separation desirable,
whether the marriage relation be severed
or not, each agrees to go his and her way
in life without hindrance from the other
and they are to meet henceforth as strang-
ers. Deane quit claims and grants unto
the woman al title to any property which
had heretofore been conveyed to her and
she in turn conveys to him full title to
any property standing in his name in Colo
RADIO or elsewhere. They further agree
that neither party shall seek pecuniary as
sistance from the other under any circum.
stances, nor under any possible contin-
gency make any money demand Mrs
Deane is given control of the children and
he agrees to contribute to their support.
Some valuable real estate goes to Mrs.
Deane, together with a life insurance policy
for 81, 500 on his life, and she assumes the
payment of az joint notes signed by them.
The document virtually treats the marriage
relation as civil contract and signifies
that they have dissolved partnership after
dividing assets.

Chamber of Commerce.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. o. Special telegram
to The HERALD. "A sensation was created
among the Western Union telegraph opera
tors in this city to-day by the discharge of
two of the best operators in the city, pre-
sumably because they were members of the
newly organized Brotherhood of Tele-
graphers. The discharged men are Peter
Frenzer and Joseph Adams, who have
ranked as first class telegraphers. Adams
was released by Chief Operator Applegate
at noon to-day. He asked the reason for
his release and was answered that his work
was not satisfactory.
You know better thsn that" replied
Adams ''You know there is no charge of
that kind against me, and that there is no
foundation for such charges
In reply, Apologize stated it was not
necessary for him to give any excuse for
discharging Adams. Frenzer's release was
given in a note which read:
lowing to your prolonged absence, L
found it necessary to put another man in
your place"
The note was signed by Apologize.
Frenzer was away recently on weeks
leave of absence and when his time was up
asked for an extension OF few days. Ap-
plegate in reply granted the request and
stated in his dispatch: "Take your time,
no hurry" No further excuse was given
for the release of the operators. 1t is the
opinion of the operators generally that the
men were discharged because they are
members of the newly organized Tele-
graphers' Brotherhood

may be expected. Tonight indications

The Breach of Promise Suit of "Bunnie'
Campbell Against Baby Bunting
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
ALBANY, Oct. 22.-Miss Clara Campbell,
the fair plaintiff in the famous ''baby bunt-
ing" breach of promise case listened with
interest to day to the arguments before the
court of appeals on the appeal of Charles
Arbuckle from the Judgment of S45, 900
damages rendered for plaintiff by the court
below. To-day's arguments were largely
a review of the amatory testimony taken in
the previous trials and an elaboration by
defendants counsel of the exceptions there
taken.
Miss Campbell is resident of Ohio and
a member of family of high standing
She is on the shady side of fOrtv At
twenty-three years of age she went TO Italy
for obstruction in vocal music, and returned
to this country after an absence of eight
years. 1t was then she met Charles Ar

introduced to MIN by a mutual friend. The
acquaintance soon rlpened, and they became
engaged to be married in 1882. When
her father failed in business, Arbuckle,
who is ten years her senior, began to show
GOODNESS. Being unable to lead him, or to
induce him to lead her, to the altar, she

letters that passed between the parties
were models of lovers vaporings, He ad-
dressed her as ''Bunnie,' and she him as
''Baby Bunting" snd their letters were
usually rounded off by an interchange of
''H-s and ks" which being interpreted
meant hugs and kisses. The trial resulted

Press Comments on the Election.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The Ne,Us says the re-
suit of the Eccles election will make the
demand for the dissolution of parliament
louder than ever.
The Chronicle says the election was
fought on the eight hour and not on the
Irish question, and that the result is
great triumph for the new unionism
The Post says when the real moment for
a national decision is reached, the double
issue by which Eccles was won will be a
very small item in the general result.
The Times admits the result was due to
the return of the Gladstonians to their allie
glance, coupled with Roby's acceptance of
eight-hours and total vote.
The Standard says it is futile to deny
the result Of the Eccles election is a dis
appointments to the Unionists. We regret
that although the Conservatives main
tanned their ground they failed to emulate
the Gladstonians in securing new votersn

Victory at Eccles.

WOOSTER, O., Oct Ex-Governor Hill
left Canton for Wooster this morning, ar
irving at the latter place at noon. At every
station along the route large crowds gath
cred and cheered Governor Hill as the train
passed At Massillon, Major Mckinley,
who was on his way to Smithville, boarded
the train and chatted with the governor
until he reached his destination. On ar
irving at Wooster an immense throng
crowded the station and the city was in
gay holiday attire Governor Hill ad :
dressed monster open air mass meeting OF
5000 people in the afternoon.
The governor spoke at length on the tariff
question and also on the elections bill. Re
garding the latter, he said: "There has
nothing taken place in any part of the
south TO justify the exercise of the doubt
full power of Congress to regulate our cleo
tionS." He denounced the ''force bilt' as
dangerous exercise of constitutional
authority, a menace to our theory OF gov
eminent, and an insult to the people of the
states. The states always had regulated
their own congressional elections and they
should be permitted TO continue to do so.
The refusal of such a privilege is policy
OF force and partisanship. A glance at the
details of the proposed measure is sufficient
to make it eXecrable. The tendency of
such legislation would be to provoke
| a conflict between federal and state officials,
and race prejudices would be engendered at
the south. ''This force bin is vicious at
tack upon our form of government. Those
who affect to think the people do not under
stand this issue are not aroused to its i'm
portance, mistake the sign of the times and
character and temper of the American peo-
pie. In conversation with Major Mckinley
to-day, he told me that it was the intention
of the present Republican Congress to pass
the force bill before its expiration, no mat
ter which party was successful in the COM
ing elections, If they do not carry the next
election, you can rest assured they will not
pass the bill" The governor addressed
another audience thia evening at the opera
house and later left for Massillon.

New York, Oct. 22.-Tne biennial con-
vention of the Fenian brotherhood came to
close at Paterson, n. j., last night
The session lasted three days, more than
200 delegates being present and represent
ing all sections of the United States. BY
far the most important action of the con-
vention was the unanimous endorsement of
the recommendation of the general secre-
tary abolisnlng the secret oath of the Or
ganization. Hereafter all transactions of
the brotherhood will be open and the public
will be free to attend all meetings. In his
report the general secretary attributed the
descriptions and disasters to Irish organiza-
lions the past two years to the fact that men,
for selfish and personal ends, had through
the misuse of the secrecy clause in the
constitution forced themselves into power
There was no dissenting voice when the
resolution was put to the vote. The spe-
cial committee appointed on the future of
the organization in their report recon-
mended that the Fenian brotherhood here
after be an open organization; that mill
tary and naval companies be organized
and 80 per cent. of the receipts may be
devoted to this purpose, the companies to be
known as the Fenian volunteers and to be
held in readiness to assist the United
States in case of foreign war.
The following council was elecded: Geo.
Driscoll. John Bowling, Francis Rea, b.
O'Hara Thomas Sampson, E. Wnalen,
James Barrett and Roderick and j. Ryan,
