Two Men Killed and One Injured as the
Result of a Feud.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 28.-In an ARRAY at
Georgetown, KY, A. J. Montgomery, a
bystander, and John Jarvis, a partici-
pant, were killed, and Burrell Jarvis
mortally wounded. Bad blood has ex-
listed for some time between the Kendall
and Jarvis families in the. county.
Peace warrants had been sworn out,
and the trial was set for Thursday.
On reaching town John Jarvis
went into the barber shop of Benjamin
Savage, colored, at the real of the court
house, and left a gun. Soon after he re-
turned and got it. Just as Jarvis
reached the door Milt Kendall Jr., who
had passed the door but was looking
back, turned and leveled his gun at Jar
Wis, and fired, the ball passing through
Jarvis lungs, killing him. Almost sim
ultaneously Burrell Jarvis went hurried
ly into the hardware store of A. J. Mont
gomery, on Main street, and asked
for a gun. Just then Milt Kendall,
the father, appeared at the door with a
musket inland. JAWS being in the rear
OF Montgomery when Kendall fired, the
ball entered Montgomery's body on a
line with the nipple of the breast and
tenth rib. Kendall Immediately threw
down his gun, drew a pistol and started
for Jarvis, who had passed through a
rear window into a small yard. Reach
ing him, he fired, the ball passing
through Burren Jarvis lungs, mortally
wounding him.
Montgomery lived but a few minutes.
He was in no way connected with the
trouble. John Jarvis lived about three
hours. After some delay the Kendalls
surrendered, were disarmed and are TO-
in Jail. Only the three shots were fred.

THE LATEST REPORTS,

Insurgents Surround Valparaiso and Are
Driving in the Outposts.
CRY OF MEXICO, Aug. 27.-Telegrams
have been received here from Lima Civ
ing information Of the battle now being
fought between the Congressionalists
and Balmaceda forces. The latest one
states that the City of Valparaiso is COM
pletely surrounded by Congressionalists,
who are rapidly driving in the outposts.
The fight has been going on for seventy
two hours, and from the first, though
the army of Balmaceda is nearly double
that of the Congressionalists, the latter
have been victorious. From present in
dications the fight may continue several
days. The Congressionalists are expect
ing reinforcements. The insurgent fleet
is still lowering about Quintero bay. The
losses have been very severe. The sue
cess so far of the Congressionalists has
been due to the superiority of their fire
arms, which are Remingtons and Win
chesters. which were procured in the
Uuted States, the Esmeralda having
landed some 10000 on her return to
Chill. The Mexican, Central American
and South American cable has been kept
hot all day with dispatches giving infor-
nation Of the battle.

The Winds Wild Work.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-An night long a
tremendous hurricane prevailed through
out Great Britain. Everywhere the tel
egraph wires are Frustrated, and it is
impossible to obtain anything more than
the most meagre information as to the
amount of destruction caused by the
fearful wind and sweeping rain. In and
about London and the few outside places
that have been heard from, trees have
been dragged out of the ground by their
roots and the roofs of houses have been
ripped up and hurled into the streets.
At Newcastle the tents of the flower
show were blown away like straws, and
the beautiful exhibit which they had en-
closed was almost entirely destroyed.
A dispatch from Southport, in Lam
caster county, IN the Irish sea, reports
that the Norwegian bark Gefon has
been wrecked off that place. The crew
were, however, saved. Numerous other
minor casualties are recorded. It is
feared that with the restoration of the
telegraph service will come the news of
serious disasters along the coast.

The Denver Abortion Case.

DENVER, Colo., Aug. 2S.-The sheriff
Of this county has arrested Albert B.
Maynes and his wife Minnie, on a ranch
about forty miles from this place, and
they were brought to Denver and lodged
in Jail. The charges placed opposite
their names is murder. Maynes is a
lumber merchant in this city, and was
married to his wife Jan. 1 last. In
March Mrs. Maynes, being in a delicate
condition, went to Madame Astle, the
abortionist who is now under arrest, and
vas delivered Of twins. The manner in
which they were killed so preyed upon
the mind of Maynes that he made a full
confession to the police of the awful
crime. Mrs. Maynes, who is a very
pretty young woman, does not seem to
worry about the matter, however, but
will not talk to reporters concerning it.
The police are after other married peo-
pie on the same charge and say that ar
rests will follow thick and fast, and
that before the matter is through with
there will be such a
Stirring Up Of Denver Society
as was never dreamed of. Madame
Astle says that if some one don't come
to her aid and get her out of this trouble
that she will tell all she knows, which
she says is a great deal. Complaints
have been made against prominent Of
fcials in some of Colorado's smaller cities
and they will probably be brought into
the case. Maynes, in his confession,
says that he paid $3.50 to have the oper-
alton performed. The police are now
securing evidence to warrant more ar
rests and have the names of at least
thirty, some of them wealthy and prom
inent citizens who have patronized
Madame Astle during the past few
months. One girl, Clara Levy, who is
now under arrest, says that Madame
Astle has performed two abortions on
her since last January.

FOR WANT OF WATER,


Saw Mills at Wausau, Merrill and Stevens
Point, Wis.,, Compelled to Close.
WAUsAU, Wis, Aug. 27.-Merrill,
Wausau and Stevens Point saw mills
are at a standstill for want of logs. The
season being an unusually dry one, has
hung up about II, O0O,O 900 feet of stock
on the upper Wisconsin, all destined for
these places. Tuesday a delegation from
this city and at Merrill called upon
D. M. Benjamin, president of the Wis
consin Land, Log and Lumber company,
of Minocqua, and asked that gentleman
to give them a flood from the Minocqua
dam, in order to facilitate the getting
down of this large stock. Mr.. Benjamin
was also appealed to by the president of
the Milwaukee Railway company in be-
half of the mills. Mr.. Benjamin fatty
and stubbornly refused to comply
with all appeals. There is wei four feet
head of water on the dam, which is of
no use to the Minocqua syndicate, and
this, it is said, is admitted by MI. Ben
jamin, but he withholds the water and
proposes to hold it at all hazards. This
not only cripples and embarrasses many
of the mill men, but it also throws
h-Indreds of hands who de-
pend on the seasons work for their
maintenance during the winter, out of
employment and otherwise cripples the
interests of the cities named.

Proctor's Probable Successor,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-A story Il
current that Governor Page, of Ver-
mont, will he appointed secretary of war,
but not until after the portfolio has been
rendered to General Veazey, coupled
with the report that Pages appointment
will come as the basis Of an understand
ing reached since the president went
into New England. Page, it is said,
made it a condition that he should be
appointed secretary Of war if he made
Proctor senator. 1t is not very proba-
BILE, because whatever President Harri-
son might do heis not liable to be coerced
into making an appointment that was
Objectionable to him, as Pages appoint
ment no doubt would be. Nor would he
be a party to any such bargain and sale
deal, even to secure his friend Proctor q
seat in the senate.

THE WORST is KNOWN.
Sixty Bodies Taken From the Ruins b.
the SearChera.

Sixty Bodies Taken From the Ruins by
the Searchers.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The worst is
known about the Park Place disaster.
Sixty-one bodies have been taken out
and the announcement is made that
there are no more En the ruins. At 2
o'clock p. IN. Acting Fire Chief Reilly
said that the search for the dead in the
ruins was completed and that no more
bodies remained there. Work was at
at once stopped and the laborers en-
ployed in clearing out the debris were
discharged. The verified list of the
missing shows thirty-ive persons unac-
counted for. The number of unidenti-
fed dead taken from the ruins is
eighteen. Allowing that eighteen of the
missing persons are represented by the
unknown dead, seventeen are still
u~naccounted for. They are not in the
ruins, and if not, comes the query
whether owing to the ferceness Of the
flames which ragged several hours, some
of the bodies were not entirely con
sumed.
Coroner Hanley said this afternoon
that he would empanel a jury tomor-
row to hold an inquest in the case of the
victims of the collapsed building. He
intends to select architects. builders,
printers and least M chemist as jury
men. He intends to hold the inquest
next Tuesday. At noon Mayor Grant
appointed a relief committee Of eighteen
to look after the sufferers in the dis
aSter.

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, the Defend
ant in a 81, 900, 900 Suit.
New YORK, Aug. 28.-James E. Linn
has brought an action in the supreme
court against Senator William NJ. Stew
art, of Nevada, for 81, 900, 900 damages.
The suit grows out of the complications
over mines, among them being the
Emma mine of Utah. Linn claims that
Stewart, while acting as his attorney,
conspired with Trevor w. Park and
others to deprive him of his mining
rights. Stewart, he alleges, made state
ments to him regarding the property,
which led him to dispose of his holdings
for $4,000 Stewart, he claims, re-
allied S., 900, 900 on the deal. Senator
Stewart says that the mining claim of
Linn was considered ''pure blackmail."
He went to Linn and told him he
thought it vas a case of blackmail and
asked him his price. This Linn named,
got the money and gave a release.

A Denver Sensation Which, It is AL

Posed AS a ChirOpodist, But She
Proves to Be an AbOI-
ZIONIST.
George L. Osborn's Shortage Is Now
Believed to Be 500, OO0-An
Arkansas Duel.

DENVER, COL, Aug. 81. Madame
Astle, who has been posing here as a
shirophidst, has been arrested, charged
with procuring an abortion of Gertie
Harris, 16 years of age, whose parents
live in Lincoln, Neb., and Clara Levick,
of this city. It is said that the trial will
bring to light things that will shake
Capitol hill. Denver's aristocratic resi-
dence portion, to their very foundations,
and that several Denver physicians are
implicated and will be arrested in a few
days. It is alleged that the madame was
doing a very extensive business and had
procured a large number of abortions on
girls, some of whom float in "high So
ciety," and the mention of whose names
VIII Create a Great Sensation.
Late in the night warrents were is
sued for three married couples whose
names are withheld for obvious reasons,
and they will be arrested in the morning.
The charges are that they were patrons
OF Madame Astle, and that the women
were operated OH by Madame Astle, who
disposed of the bodies of the babies by
burning them. The police say that one
man very highly connected in this city
has confessed that the abortionist per-
formed an operation on his wife and
that the children, they were twins,
were taken from her alive, and that he
stood and saw them disposed of. They
were roasted before his eyes, having
been put in the fire while still alive.
The police say they have an affidavit
of a 2nan who lived in the same house
with Madame Astle, to the effect that
he has seen the woman
Hu-n the Bodies of Infants
in her kitchen stove time after time. The
police have arrested Mrs. Howard, who
lives in d cottage back of the Astle house.
She is supposed to know symething
about the doings of the abortionist and
is held as a witness. The police have
searched the Astle premises but will not
tell what they have discovered. It is
thought that some horrible develop
ments will be made when more facts are
brought to light.
Nine. Astle has a remarkable history.
her exploits in London kept the police
busy. Sir Charles Dixie was her per-
sonal friend when she was known as
Georgia ~Shorthouse and it was she who
invited Mrs. Crawford TO her resort
where Sir Charles afrerward met her
frequently. The disclosure in this in
triguo were of a sensational character
and the scandal provoked by the rela-
tons Of the pair startled Europe.
Madame Astle knew too much. She
was spirited away and was heard from
in France and from various parts of
Europe. The skill of Scotland Yard
however failed to locate her and she
sailed for America, remained a short
time in New York and then bobbed up
in Denver, where she has been known as
Madame Astle, chiropodist.

be the selection of a secretary of war
who can do business for him, and do it
honorably and in a systematic manner.
The best politics will be the selection
not of a politician for the mere fact that
he is a politician Of note in his section;
but the selection of a man who can &C.
ceptably and clearly administer the az
fairs of the wal department. Nobody
probably realizes the fact any more fully
than the president himself, and there

The Minneapolis Elevator Agent Believe
to Have Stolen 800, OOO, OOO

The Minneapolis Elevator Agent Believed
to Have Stolen $780, OO, 900.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 27.-The auditors of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway company are still in the midst
OF the books of George L. Osborne, the
late elevator superintendent. They will
not be ready to make a complete report
until Saturday. They have, however,
run across a shortage of $4,000 in one
lump. This SIS, 900 was money which he
had collected as freight and elevator
charges. Most of it was collected
from Minneapolis millers, to whom
the first bulk of wheat which has
passed through Elevator B, was con-
signed. The extent and character of
the business of which Osborn had
charge were such, it appears, as made it
possible for him to appropriate to his
own use a large amount of money each
month. He could easily retain for his
own use a considerable amount of each
days collection. The general belief now
is that he died a defaulter to the extent
of at least 500, 600, and possibly a great
deal more.
1t was learned from a well known
gambler that Osborn was constantly
addicted to faro, and as cool a loser as
any man that ever entered a faro den,
losing $500 at a single bet with as little
emotion as most men show at losing $40.
The amount of his losses at the card
table is said to reach to thousands.

Oliver Dalrymple Trying to Ipjure
the Wheat Raisers of the
Red River Valley.
He Tells a st. Paul Reporter That
One.Seventh Of Their Wheat
is DESTROYED.
He Says the Best of the Wheat
Will Not Grade No. 1
Hard.

ST.. PAUL, Aug. 27.-Oliver Dalrymple,
North Dakota's great wheat grower,
has returned from the west, and in con-
versation with a reporter gave a full re-
port OF the damage wrought by the frost
OF last Sunday night in the Red river
valley. He estimates that it destroyed
about one-seventh of the entire wheat
crop In the valley from Fargo to the
British possessions. The barley crop
was u%ninjured as it had already been
harvested, and what little corn the farm
ers had was more or less damaged.
Three-fourths of the North Dakota crop
Is now harvested, but on the night of
the first frost one-half of the wheat
acreage had been untouched by the har-
vester. He says that all the wheat un-
cut at that time has had what is called
9 "brand" frost. This wheat will be
equally as good for milling pur-
poses as No. 1 hard, but the
farmers will receive a grade lower.
In explaining the action of the frost on
this uncut wheat he said that the
dluoullC OF damage WOul altogether de-
pend on the condition of the wheat
berry at the time of the frost. The
wheat standing which had turned to
dough, but had not ripened, would not
be materially injurned by this severe
frost. The wheat in the milk woule be
an entire loss whenever there was a frost
below 80 degrees. For all this, he said,
North Dakota would have a wonderful
wheat crop, and he did not believe that it
had &en overestimated. The farmers will
NATURAL take great care in separating
the grades Of wheat and their first cut
will be No. 1 hard. He places little
confidence in the saving virtues of the
smudge. 1t is difficult. he says, to tell
whether the smoke has any effect what
ever in protecting the fields of grain.
