A BLOODY Tragedy.

GROToN LANDING, n. Y, August l.
One of the most thrilling tragedies that
ever occurred in Westchester county took
place today, and will result in the death of
Newton Baker, private secretary of Col
Robert G. Ingersoll, who was fatally shot
four times by Orville NJ Anderson, late
agent of the Louisville Gas company.
Anderson and his family reside on the
Moody homestead and he had sub-let a
part of the house to Baker and his wife
The two families never agreed and Quarrels
were frequent between the women of the
house, which, some time ago, became so
serious that Anderson and Baker took I'D
the quarrel and often had heated disputes.
Baker and Anderson went walking today
and attempted TO adjust the difficulties.
They had not proceeded far when they
perceived Mrs. Baker coming toward them
When she was within few feet OF her
husband she said:
while you were absent this morning
that man pointing to Anderson) stared at
me in a strange manner, and his action
and conduct insulted me. He did not ad-
dress me, but laughed in a daring, sar-
castle manner"
Baker then turned to Anderson and said:
THAT was an insult to my wife. and l, as
her husband, cannot allow this

Baker sprang between them. threw her
arms about her husbands neck and tried

HOLMAN'S VIEWS.

CHICAGO, August l.-Congressman HOl-
man. of Indiana, in an interview, declares
that Harrison viii be renominated, and
that it is absurd to think of Blaine as a
candidate,

he said, "for he would be in such an en-
barrassing position that defeat would be

be the watChword of Republicans. They
will fight the battle on this issue. Mr..
Blaine is in favor of reciprocity with sew
eral countries, which is about the same as
free trade. He can't advise high protec-
tiOn and reciprocity in the same breath.
Then again, if reciprocity is desirable in
certain parts Of the world why wouldn't it
be well for every spot on the globe? Mr..
Blaine is almost a Democrat in certain
questions and he would make n good
target for the enemy's shot. / have been

that Mr.. Harrison will get the nomina-

siasm greets you. But this is all it will

the nomination and he will be likely TO
help Mr. Harrison. ] don't think there
are any doubts about this program.

THE BANK OF ROME.

PARIS. August IA dispatch to the
Figaro from Rome says that some excite

that city today by the threatened suspen-
sion of the Bank of Rome, an old Catholic
institution. The trouble arose over an or

credit Of St. Peters pence Not having
the necessary funds on hand to meet the

Rome would not affect general credit, be-
cause the bank has taken no active share

refers back to the Transcontinental asso-
citation an application of the Atchison,
Togeka and Santa Fe for authority to
make a rate of s5 cents per 100 pounds on
corn from Missouri river to Pacific points.
As the $500 line is selling grand army
tickets from St. Paul to Detroit and re-
turn for $1625, the Burlington has given
notice that it will make the same rate by
way of Chicago. The Wisconsin Central
will also meet the rate via the Milwaukee
gateway. Chairman Finley. on behalf of
all the northwestern lines, has sent a
communication to the 800" The chair
man says that the 800" has no authority
to sell tickets of the character described
and notifies the line that the northwestern
lines will not honor them.
1t is now definitely decided that there
will be two harvest excursions IN the ter
ritory of the Western Passenger associa-
tion this year, the Wabash having finally
assented to the arrangement made at the
recent meeting. The dates fixed for the
harvest excursions are August 25th and
Sept. 29th. The late will be one fare and
a third for the round trip.

mencing August IS. Fully 100000 pill
grims are expected to visit Trier during
that time. An earnest and long ccntro-
versy has been waged concerning the genu-
iness of the relic. Chaplain Dasbasch, a
member of the Prussian diet and one of
the committee for the exhibition of the
holy robe, thinks there can be no possible
doubt as to its genuiness. 1t has been ex-
hibited only twice during this century
in 1910 and 1874 Many miracles are

given as present to the bishopric of
Trier by st. Helen. the mother of the
Emperor Constantine upon the la6ter's

THE CURRENCY MOVEMENT.

> NEW YORK, August 1.-The Post says,
As was usual in recent weeks, the statement
of bank averages is entirely deceptive and
the returns of cash probably at least two
millions away from the actual facts Of
present bank holdings. It should be OBJ
served, however, that the flow of currency
from New York to the interior has de-
creased to large degree this week, indi-
eating that certain interior commercial
centers have all along been much better
supplied with money than has been sup
posed. Indeed, New York exchange at St.
Louis and O. her ssuthern points has been at
premium during all of the week.
