KILLED HER HUSBAND.

He Returned Home Drunk and She
Stabbed Him With Butcher Knife.
NEwBURYPoRT, Mass, Jan. Edgar
Beckman, aged "a, was stabbed and
killed by his wife, Hattie, last night, at
South Seabrooke.
The man had spent the day in this city
and returned home in an intoxicated
condition. The woman upbraided her
husband because he had cut no wood.
A quarrel ensued, during which the
woman, in a fit of passion, seized a
butcher knife and stabbed her husbandEn
the breast, inf1icting a wound which
proved fatal in a few minutes.
The woman is under arrest and is al
most crazed at her act, and watch has
to be kept over her to see that she does
no harm to herself. The couple have
been married six years and have three
children.

The Transfer of the Indian Agencies t,

The Transfer of the Indian Agencies to
tho War Department Opposed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE Cabinet
meeting during the day was an interest
ing one, because one of the chief topics
discussed was the proposition of General
Miles, submitted by Secretary Proctor on
December II, to transfer the Indian
agencies from the Interior to the War
Depar lment, and make soldiers inspec-
tors.
The proposition was referred by the
President to Secretary Noble, and at the
last Cabinet meeting quite a spirited
debate occurred between the Secretaries
of the Interior and War as to the respon-
sibility of the present outbreak. The
Secretary of the Interior claimed that
all was peace and quiet at the agencies
until the soldiers took possession, and
even Sitting Bull was killed while mar
tial law prevailed.
The matter was finally referred to In
dian Commissioner Morgan, and Secre-
tary Noble took his answer to the Cabi-
net meeting, and it was adverse to the
proposed change, and it is understood
the President decided to side with the
Indian Department and against General
Miles proposition.

THE GLASGOW TROUBLE.

ShOpkeepers Preparing for Riots and

LONDON, Jan. THE situation around
Glasgow is, in fact, quite alarming. The
miners and striking railway men are in
a very ugly mood, and will not subside
on account of two or three drubbings at
the hands of the police and military.
The presence Of John Burns has had an
inspiring effect on the strikers. Indeed,
the railway companies allege that Burns
is responsible for the violence that has
prevailed ever since his arrival.
1t is likely that, if possible, some pre-
text will be found for the arrest of
Burns as an inciter to riot
Troops are being concentrated at
Glasgow in view of the disorderly state
of affairs.
A Scotch mob is recognized as the
worst mob to deal with, as the Scotch
are slow about coming to violence, but
stubborn when once aroused. In the
city of Glasgow much excitement pre-
walls, and the sympathy of the lower
orders is altogether with the strikers and
the men who are resisting eviction.
Thousands of people are in actual
want. and should an outbreak occur in
the city itself the worst consequences
are anticipated.
Shopkeepers are preparing for riots,
and good many of the wealthy have
left for other places with their families.

on which the latter died. He went in

weather in the sum of 100000. DIR.
Lloyd stayed in the house from to 3 D.

WILD WITH EXCITEMENT.
Nearly a Thousand Hnngariaus Driver
from Their Homes by Fire.

NoiS " Ahous"hd HnnS ar1anS Driven
from Their Homes by Fire.
BERGEN PoINT, N. J., Jan. Fire in =
densely populated Hungarian tenement
section of Bayonne last night left nearly
1000 Hungarians homeless, while 5000
OF those people were nearly driven wild
with excitement.
The persons deprived of their homes
had been quartered in three double
wooden buildings.
Most of the Hungarians were at home.
The fire started in a little dry goods store
on the first floor of a double three-story
tenement owned by Stephen Folsom.
This building with a similar one owned
by Bernard Friedman, and a double
four-story tenement adjoining owned by
William II. Walters, were wholly con-
sumed, with nearly all their contents.
The 1000 people lived there like ami
mails, existing mainly on rye bread and
stale beer. Another double four-story
tenement, in course of construction by
Walters, was also destroyed.
The houses are probably worth $50, 900,
and are nearly covered by insurance
The Hungarians lost nearly everything.
All insisted upon staying in the burning
houses to save their property. Police
men drove them out by force. No one
was injured among the tenants, but
three tiremen had narrow eecapes from
suffocation
How the fire started is a mystery
Marcus Greenburg, the storekeeper, was
insured. Shelter was provided by Chief
of Police John B. Mcneil.

SOME SMALL THINGS.
Facts That Have Been Ascertained b

Facts That Have Been Ascertained by
Science and the Mechanics.
Gold-beaters, by hammering, can
reduce gold leaves to such minute thin
ness that two hundred and eighty-two
thousand must be laid upon each other
to produce the thickness of an inch.
Yet each leaf is so perfect and free
from holes, says the st. Louis Republic,
that one of them laid on any surface, as
in gliding, gives the appearance Of solid
gold. They are so thin, that If formed
into book, fifteen hundred would only
occupy the space Of a single leaf of book
paper. A single volume of a gold leaf
book one inch In thickness would have
as many pages as an entire library of
fifteen hundred volumes Of common
books, even though tho volumes aver.
aged four hundred pages each!
Platinum and silver can each be
drawn into wire many times smaller
than human hair. The former metal
has been drawn into wire so fine that
twenty-seven Of them twisted together
could have been inserted In the hollow
Of a hair; that is, If a human being or
human-made machine could be found
mfS1Rte and precise enough for such a
delicate undertaking.
A burning taper uncovered for a.
single instant, during which it does not
lose power amounting to the one-thou-
sandth Of grain, would fill with light
a sphere four miles in diameter so as to
be visible from every part Of the COM
pass.
The thread Of the silk-worm is so
small that an average of forty-two OF
them are twisted together to form a
thread Of common sewingsillz; that Of the
spider is many diameters smaller. Two
drains Of spider-web by weight would,
II stretched into straight line, reach
from London, Eng, to Edinburgh, Scot
land, distance Of over four hundred
miles.
In sour paste, the milt of Goldfish,
or even in water in which vegetables
have been infused, the microscope dis
covers animalculse so small that mill
ions Of them would not equal the size
Of grain of wheat. And yet nature,
with a singular productivity, has sup
piled many of these with organs as
complete as those Of whale or an ele-
s,hant. In single ounce Of such mat
,er there are more living creatures than
there are human beings on the face of
the globe.
A grain of carmine or half grain of
aniline will tinge hogshead of water
80 that a strong microscope will detect

A grain of musk will scent a room for
twenty years, and at the end of that
time will not show that 1t has dimin-
ished In the least.
The organs Of smell in the turkey,

that they can scent their food for dis

GEN. MILES CAREFUL
He Has Had His Last Confer.
ence With the Chiefs.
RED CLOUD CLOSELY WATCHED.
A General Feeling that He is Playing a
Double Game.

If His Men Do Not Come in n General En-
Eagement win FOIIOw-Leaders In the
Hostile Camps Working on the Young
Bucks to Stand Out-The Indian Prob
lem in the Cabinet.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. T.
Gen. Miles has had his last conference
with the big chiefs and is now waiting
for a final answer or an unconditional
surrender.
The prospect of serious war appears
to hinge on Chief Red Cloud. He is said
to be a Government spy and on the verge
of returning to the agency, but that the
Brules under Short Bull and Two Strike
are so strongly in favor of killing him if
he makes such a move that he is not
ready to come. If Red Cloud leaves
them and takes his band with him there
will not be much trouble in bringing the
remaining warriors to terms.
Of the 5000 Pine Ridge indians there
are about $500 in the hostile camp.
About 900 of these are bucks, which will
make their total fighting force, in case
Red Cloud does not come in, about
1900.
Gen. Miles was extremely careful of
this camp last night. The repeated
threats by the hostiles that they would
swoop down on all here, and, by the
aid of the friendlies, annihilate all, put
him on his guard. Extra pickets were
sent out, new Notifications erected, and
the artillery was put in position for &C
tion. The General was very active. At
2 a. IN. he made another circuit of the
outposts, and then retired. Just before
that dozen shots were heard, but they
proved to have been fired by the Indian
police, who were on the outposts. To-
day the hostiles are reported to have
moved few miles nearer.
The feeling that Red Cloud is playing
a double game is gaining ground. If his
men do not come in an engagement will
surely follow.
The leaders in the hostile camp say
they have nothing to live for and are
willing to die. They are working upon
the feelings of the young bucks, fearing
that the latter may weaken before a seri-
GUS attack is made.
If a general engagement does come,
it will be the greatest battle in Indian
history.
