SHOT HIS AlrENArED WIFE.
A Tragedy in New York Boarding
House.

New YORK, May 12.-At one o'clock
this morning, David Ramsey and two
other men visited the boarding house
at 145 West Forty-fifth street, where
Ransey's wife, who had separated from
him. was living. One of the men knock
ed on the door. and when the landlady
inquired what was wanted at that I'M
seemly hour. called out in loud voice
1.-THE water pipes have burst and want
to tell YOU about it," The boarders
having been aroused by the knocking
and hearing that the water pipes had
burst, rushed into the hallway. Upon
the landlady opening the dooo the three
men pushed their way in, and one OF
them said: Il am Ramsey and l want
to see my wife" Mrs. Ramsey, who
stood in the hallway, upon hearing her
husbands voice, fled to the rear parlor.
Ramsey and his companions followed,
and the former being unable to get into
the room smashed panel of the door
with the butt-end of his revolver ana
fired through at his wife, who was
crouching in a corner. Theuoall pene-
trated the woman's neck, and during
the panic that ensued the three men
escaped. That Ramsey intended TO Kill
his wife there can be but little doubt.
The Ransey's formerly lived in Brooklyn
and were well connected. The couple
did not live happily together, and the
wife came TO this city and resided at the
boarding house where the shooting took
place. The police say that the parties
most concerned refuse TO say anything
about the difficulty. Mrs. Ramsey is a
beautiful woman, and the doctors say
that she will recover.

NEVADA, Iowa. May 22.-Judge
Hindman, of the District Court. in his
charge to the grand jury at the opening
of Court yesterday, took the ground
that Notwithstanding the late decision
of the United States Supreme Court, no
person has right IN this State to keep
a place for the sale of intoxicating
liquors of any kind. either in original
packages or otherwise, and that it was
the duty of the grand jurors to report
to the Court by indictment any person
charged with the keeping of any such
place without regard as to where such
liquors came from. He maintained that
Interstate Commerce had nothing to
do with the question, and that the keep
ing of a place for the sale of liquors is a
nuisance, no matter how they are dealt

Special telegram 10 the Register.
TORONTO. O., May 2l.-Information has
been received here by way of the Stafford
shire (England) Sentinel, stating that Will
liam Hackney, modeier of the Toronto pot
terry. has been detained there in divorce
suit brought by his wife, Mrs. Ann Hack
ney. on the ground of adultery, cruelty and
desertion. The case was heard before
Justice Butt, of Etruria. According to the
testimony of Mrs Hackney, itappears that
they were married in 1876. They lived
happily together for two years. After that
time, il is alleged, he maltreated her,
on several occasions threatening her life.
In 1886 she refused to live with him any
longer. During this time he made all prep
arations for his immediate departure for
America. Upon his arrival he located in
Trenton, n. j., where his brother, A. +.
Hackney, visited him few years later on.
A decree of absolute divorce was granted,
with costs. According to information gath
cred hereabouts, Mr. Hackney worked in
Trenton, N j., but was not satisfied with
the city, and in consequence located
in Wheeling, w. Va, and boarded on Main
between Twelfth and Fourteenth streets.
He was employed at the Warwick pottery
as modeler where he worked until about
a wear and half ago and came TO Toronto
to accept like position in the pottery.
While here he has at different intervals re-
ceived letters supposed TO be from his faith
er who claimed he was in very i'll health
and wished to see him before he departed
from earth, and to satisfy the request he
sailed for England on March 10 on the
City of Paris, the steamer that was disa-
bled in mid-ocean, and was on board ut the
time. On his arrival he was taken into
custody by the authorities to answer the
charges preferred against him by his wife
which resulted in the above verdict.

In His own District They Ask Him Some
Hard Questions About Protection.

Hard Questions About Protection.
CANTON. O.. May lS.-The following
is being circulated among the working
men of this vicinity, and is being freely
signed:
Hon ITHliam Mckinley, n, Washington,
d. g.:
DEAR SIE-The undersigned voters
and workingmen in the district Of which
Won are the representative in Congress,
where your distinguished abilities are
employed in making laws for the we'll
being of ourselves aud others. recognize
ing your eminence as a political econo-
mist. respectfully ask you to reply TO
the following questions, feeling CONT
dent that. as the subject is one which
concerns us materially, YOU will do so
readily:
"FirSt-You have said. substantially,
that under the influence of protection
the wages of the working classes are
higher in this country than in any other
ia the world; in other words, that high
wages are due to high tariffs and that
the latter are necessary 10 maintain
them. We find that Germany, Italy,
Austria. Hungary, Spain, Persia. Portu-
gal. Belgium. Cuba, Russia, Norway,
Sweden. Seryia, Siam, Turkey, Japan,
China and nearly all other foreign coun-
tries have high tariffs, some of them
even higher than ours. the Island OF San
Domingo. for example. having a tariff
that averages % per cent. If. rs assert
ed. high tariff makes high wages, Will
YOU kindly explain why it is that those
countries have such VIGOROUSLY low
wages?
Seconds il true. aS declared by
Mr.. Blaine. that the inequalities IN the
wages of English and American opera
tiveS are more than equalized by the
greater efficiency of the latter, and the
longer hours of labor|
''Third-In your report on your new
tariff bill YOU give as reason for taking
the duty of sugar and permitting us TO
pay "A bounty to the growers instead,
that not enough of the article is pro-
dnced i'm this country, and Ito quote
your own words duty is, therefore,
a tax which is added TO the
price not only of the imported
but the domestic product permit US to
ask why. if this reason Is good IN the
case Of sugar. it will not likewise hold
good as regards other articles, enough
of which are not produced in this cOun-
try? Moreover, if removing the duty
on sugar will benefit Us, will not (for
the same reason) striking the duty off
of wool. etc, and granting bounty to
growers be still more to our advantage,
since clothing for ourselves and families
is an item of greater Importance to us
than sugar?
''Wil you, honorable sir. do us the
favor to make reply to the above in your
closing address in the debate now in
progress. in order that not only our
selves but others may be enlightened or
these DOintS?"

Wholesale Bank Robbery.
PtlQllph Tim,

There has never been in Philadelphia
before any such instance of daring and
complete bank robbery Is is shown by
the official records of the American Life
Insurance Company and the Bank Of
America. The managers of the inSur-
ance company have, in effect, stolen
everything that belonged to it. and have
left very little in the bank.
1t is true that they gave their notes
i'm exchange for the money that belong
ed 10 the policy-hOlderS and depOSite 1t
certain stocks and bonds a securities. -
But most of these securities they manu-
featured themselves, apparently for
this purpose. and such lot of worth
less tiSSue-paper it would be. hard to
get together i'm the cheapest broker
shops. There is not corporation on
the list whose securities have any bona
fide value. even if the company itself
has any bona iide existence. The most
of them are merely different names for
the same Syndicate-thew reckers them
selves.
They have robbed the Bank of Amer
lea i'm the same way and by the same
means. Their bank stock they hypOth-
ecatcd TO the insurance company and
their insurance stock TO the bank and
their wildcat securities to both. They
did not borrow from the bank in their
own names in the same wholesale way;
but since January three irresponsible
employees have taken out nearly half 4
million of dollars on their own notes,
with this same tiSSue-paper collateral,
hundred thousand dollars of it within
fortnight of the suspension. II is not
necessary TO conjecture that this money
went in the same direction.
Some of the papers speak of this as a
starting revelation. SO it is. no doubt,
to those who supposed that the Times
did not know what it was talking about
when il made the first publication of the
condition of these companies some
weeks ago. But it is startling TO the
Times. 1t was because we were con-
WINGED that this robbery was going on
that We published the truth at the first
opportunity and the figures have sim
ply confirmed in detail what then could
only be asserted generally. DeplOra-
BILE Is the present wreck Is, it must
have been far greater had the organ
lied robbery been permitted to extend
TO other Institutions.
In the face of these figures ii is no
longer possible for the most charitable
TO withhold their Judgment. When
men.enter a bank vault by stealth and
carry OIL its contents we call it robbery.
When they enter it by virtue of trust
imposed on them and convert the prop
erty TO their own use, we may call it by
another name. but the result is not far
different and the moral distinction is
not clear. Indeed, rs between the bur-
slar and the bank-wrecker. the burglar
is the more respectable of the>two, and
far less dangerous to the credNerS and
the community. He does not often get
away with everything. And besides.
he usually brings up in Jail.

FEARS For THE WORST.
A Letter From the Father of Kimber, the
Missing Englishman.

MONTREAL, May ga letter has
been received by the city detectives
from the father of young Kimber, eX-
pressing great anxiety as TO the myster-
ious disappearance of his son. Among
other things he says:
"Sir Stafford Northcote, VI. p. for
Exeter; has very kindly taken up the
matter in my behalf, and | have receiy-
ed two letters from the Colonial Office
and copy of the cablegram sent to
Lord Stanley. Governor General, by
Lord Knutzford. We feel that there
has been foul play, for there is no mo-
tive, if alive, for his silence, as he knew
it would cause his friends great anxiety.
We should like to know about his bag
gBge and if it is being taken care OF, and
when the police first had notice of his
disappearance. may add that he left
home quite alone. If he had any ac-
quaintances he very likely made them
on shipboard."

SAN Francisco, May 22.-The Chroi'-
icle's special from Los Angeles, gives
interviews with number of prominent
citizens on the alleged fillibusterlng
scheme which was exposed yesterday.
C. A. Deloy, a resident of Ensenada'
stated: The expose will create intense
excitement on the Peninsula and, In
my opinion, will result in President Dlaz
demanding an explanation from the
State Department and probably de-
mand from the Mexican Government
that the conspiratorS be punished. 81,
Mr.. Deloy said that the exposure VIII
result in serious damage to the inter-
ests of Americans on the Peninsula
but that the worst sufferers will be the
English stockholders in the Mexican
Land and Colonization Company, ana
he thinks that the large grant when
the company now holds from the MeXi-
can Government will be declared Tor
feited and the company's property at
Ensenada, Alamo and other places VIII
be confiscated. He also expressed an
opinion that as soon as the news reaches
Ensenada the company'S officers there
will be arrested.

that ii has been his custom to make out
these shares as occasion required, and
that he signed his own name and that OF
Mr.. Estes thereto. 1t seems that suspi-

two weeks ago by frequent sales OF stock
