A Betrayed Woman Shoots the Object

A Young Girl Shot By a Discarded
Lover.
British Act Perpetrated By Chicago
Alderman.

Troy, n. Y, Jan. 80 yesterday after
noon one of the most deliberate attempts
at murder ever witnessed In Troy took
place at the corner of Broadway and Fifth
avenue. At that hour while Edwin Firth,
well known as the inventor of horseshoe
machinery, Ct a rife gun now being built
at the United States arsenal at West
troy, and of an axle for carriages, was
passing along the avenue. He was fol-
lowed by a woman heavily yelled, who,
coming close to him at the corner Of
Broadway, placed pistol to the back of
his neck, and fired. Mr.. Firth fell, and
the woman, making no effort to escape,
was disarmed and her victim placed In
to police headquarters. Detect
i've Ford appeared upon the
scene Immediately after the shooting, and
that she fired the shot Superintendent of
Police Willard at once recognized the
woman as one who called upon him last
Thursday, when she wanted Firth arrested
for seduction under promise of marriage
She had no warrant and the po-
lice would not aid her. The
woman then said that she was
from Chicago, where she had met Firth at
intervals during the past two years. Firth
she said, had an Office in that building
known as 1.-The Rookery.'
His wound, the doctors say, will prove
fatal. The ball entered his neck near the
spinal column. He is wealthy, married.
and has several children.
The woman says her name is Mrs. Henry
Warnicke, and that before she was mar
ried her name was Minnie McGrath
When seen at the Jail after the shooting
she said: Firth met me In Chicago
where | was living with my husband and
children. He deceived me and in
duced me to get divorce from
my husband to marry him. |

me he would be true to me- took his adj

what he intended to do about it, but he
would give me no satisfaction told him

rest you know. | have spent nearly every
cent of my money to follow him here to
make him right the great wrong he has
done me and my little children. That is
why the shooting was done.
Mr. Warnicke during the interview
broke down several times and cried pite-
ously for her little children. She is not
progressing, is apparently about 40 years
of age, and dresses plainly but neatly.
The shooting caused great excitement
throughout the city, and the wife of the
victim is almost crazy.
Sioux CITY, Ia, Jan. 30.-This evening
Leander Anderson, aged twenty-six shot
and killed Anna Carlson, aged sixteen, and
then suicided. The girl had refused to
accept the attentions of Anderson who was
madly in love with her.

According to the Baltimore American
Captain Joseph Smolenski, of the War
Department, and son of General Smolens-
XII, one of the Polish exiles of 1881, who
has just returned from a visit to Russia,
says the representations of Mr.. KEENAN,
concerning affairs in the czar's empire
were, if anything not sufficiently severe.
Although serfdom has been abolished, the
condition of the people is almost as de-
plorable as ever it was. From the time
he crossed the frontier until he left it he
was constantly under police surveillance.
At Pultusk he was detained several days
by the chief of police, no reason whatever
being given for the detention, and it was
only after he threatened to invoke the
protection of the American minister that
he was allowed to go. When he desired
to leave Warsaw he was refused railway
ticket until the owner of the house in
which he stayed vouched for his character
and gave him permission to leave. A
resident of one village cannot visit another
without a passport costing 81 cents.

as 1t may seem TO you, the human beings
themselves are not aware of it. The rea-
son for this curious state of things is not
far to seek. How can people who are ig-

consider whether this is a true picture of
humanity? 1t would be a terrible day
for the book, if they ever did that. But
the book is i'll no danger. The readers
would even fail to discover the falseness
of the picture, il they were presented to
themselves as perfect characters. We

if you find your faith shaken in a person
whom you have hitherto believed to be

tation. Wait till time shows you that the
evil influence is not everlasting, and that
the good influence will inconsistency re-

your despair. Humanity, in general, is
neither perfectly good nor perfectly wick

other people do, under similar circum-
stances. Listen to the unwelcome truth

WHISKY BURNED.
Twenty Five Thousand Barrels and the Dis
tillery Buildings Consumed in Louisville
Yesterday.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Aug. 14.-Twenty-
FIVE thousand barrels of burning
whisky at the Kentucky distillery this
morning caused one of the most dis
astrous fires that ever visited the city of
Louisville. rough estimate made at
noon while the flames were still roaring
furiously placed the total loss at $780,
600, caused by oarelessness on the part
of a colored man who was assisting the
Waterman. A leaking barrel rolled
down and struck lamp, and the whisky
and oil together started blaze. The
Kentucky distillery was the property of
Julius Barkhouse s. Co., and was
located on Story avenue between Adams
and Ohio streets. The distillery property
consisted of an immense distillery, con-
tanning machinery for making
of whisky, extending back from
the street almost $50 feet. The lower
part was of frame while the front was of
brick and was three stories high. Adjoin-
ing it was two large warehouses, where
were stored % 900 barrels of whisky.
This building was entirely of brick and
three stories high. 1t was here that the
fire started. The distillery warehouse
was next to the largest in the city and
was totally consumed. The dstillery
proper, cistern room and fermentiug
room were destroyed, and the loss on the
building will reach $50. 900. There was
stored in the warehouse at the time of
the fire %, 900 barrels of whisky and not
o single barrel was saved. The loss on
whisky is given to each barrel at an es-
timated value of $40, reaches up to
$500 900. The loss was almost il not
entirely covered by insurance. The dis
tillery was not running, so that nothing
will be lost by the delay in starting up.
While it is in operation the daily output
averages 100 barrels. The owners of the
distillery are members of the corporation
styled Kentucky distillery company. Mr..
J Lucius Barkhouse is president of the

WEATHERFoRD, TEX. Aug. 4.-Col
George A. Knight, United States mar
shall for the Northern district Of Texas,
came over from Dallas this morning and
served an order of restraint on the Off
GERS of the Franco-Texan land company,
restraining them from in any way dispos-
ing of any of the lands, notes or other
assets of the company. The order was
issued by Judge Don A. Pardee, circuit
judge of the Federal court, on spplica-
ton of James A. Allen to haVs the COM
pany placed in the hands of a receiver.
The case is to be tried on the first Mon
day in October next in the Federal court
at Dallas TO determine whether or not
the injunction will be made perpetual or
dissolved.
1t seems that that order Is little too
late, as Mr.. George P. Levy, president
of the company has returned from
France where he had been in oonsulta-
ton with the principal stockholders of
the company for some TINA as to
whether or not the company should &C.
cept an offer to sell all their lands. He
returned on the first of the month. and
on the 4th of this month he made
deeds to the entire lot of the lands be-
longing to the company, amounting
to $50 900 acres of lands situated in
this, Palo Pinto, Stephens, Callahan !,
Shackelford, Jones, Taylor, Fisher,
Nolan and Mitchell counties; and ,as Mr..
Levy expressed 1t, the company has
nothing for sale, and that the injunction
does not in the least modest the company.
This 10 q pretty big land sale, one of
the largest that has been made in Texas
for some time. From the best informa-
ton THE GAZETTE correspondent can get
as to the cause of the injunction suit is
that the party bringing the suit is
the holder of some of the shares of
the company, and that some years ago a
dividend was declared on all of the stock
Of the company, the bylaws of the
company provide that the stock shall be
presented within certain time after the
dividend shall have been declared, or
such dividend shall be forfeited. & The
stock now held by Mr.. Allen then being
held by parties IN France, who consid-
cred 1t almost worthless and did not keep
up With the proceedings of the company
and did not present tha stock within the
time prescribed by the bylaws forfeited
the dividend. Dividends have been
paid on this stock since the time in
question, and since the stock has come
into the hands of Mr.. Allen he has de-
manded the payment of the dividend
which was forfeited, and on the refusal
of payment of the same he has obtained
this temporary Injunction. There is
hardly question but that the injunction
will be dissolved on trial of the case.
Both the land sale and injunction suit are
very important as so much is
involved in both and will
be of considerable interest to the people
of this part of the country, "a the COM
pany has been IN existence nearly half
of Q century. and holding vast acres of

that many of them are good employees,
having been in times past faithful SER

them have been led into this difficulty
through intimidation, misrepresenta-
ton or ignorance, appreciate
their situation fully, and especially
in those cases where the men have
wives and children who are dependent
upon them for support. l have given
the matter very careful consideration
and have instructed our officials as fol-
lows: That each case shall be considered
separately and on its merits, and where
the party has been a satisfactory and
faithful employe, and where the SUPER
intendent or official Immediately in
charge is satisfied, or can satisfy the
general superintendent that the man has
left under the extenuating circumstances
above outlined, then, If Il vacancy exists
be shall be taken on as a new employee,
that where no vacancy exists the name
of the applicant will be taken, and as
business increases during the autumn
and winter and when additional help is
needed his application will receive all
due consideration. 1t is, however, dis
Tigidly enforced, that new men who have
recently and on account of this strike
came INTO our employ shall not be dis
placed unless their services are unsatis-
factory, and that those men who were
formerly in the company's employ
and left IN this strike,
but VINO under above instructions
may be reiustated will enter the service
not as an old man reinstated, but as en-
tirely new employees, and hereafter with
regard to promotions, discharges, as
signments of work, etc. they will be re-
garded as new men. Those who have
been turbulent and detrimental to this
company and its interests will under no
condition be taken back into service.
